STATUS OF PROJECTS
Discussion update. No formal action may be taken on any of the following:
Moorland Road Reconstruction
Project is on track with utility work continuing. Bid to take place in December, with construction
to begin in April or May 2018.
Middle School Water Main Project (Hi View Drive)
A total of 12 bids were received with the lowest being approximately $470,000. This was
th
almost half of the estimated project cost. The bid will go to Council on December 12, 2017,
for approval. Two letters were mailed to residents today. One went to those on Hi View Drive
asking if they did/did not want to hookup to the lateral. A second letter went out explaining the
WCA (Water Capacity Assessment).
Waukesha Water
No longer coming through Oak Creek, directly from Milwaukee. Only one return pipe will be
routed through Muskego.
Little Muskego Lake Drawdown
Little Muskego is currently down about 65 inches. All pumps have been removed. The
siphons and draw down pipe remain in place and run 24/7 to maintain the water level as much
as possible. The Lake District, at their cost, is pumping water from the Hillview area to the
center of the Lake to expose more of the lake bed in that affected area. The City has applied
for a DNR dredging permit to clean up two launch areas (Hillview and Pleasant View) and one
public access point (Shore Lane). The debris removed from the Lake will be taken to the
Landfill for disposal. No work planned for Idle Isle. The only remaining concern is the animal
waste, especially in the beach area.
Muskego-Norway School District Broadband Network Project
The first order of business was to get approval and a ROW (right-of-way) permit for the area
near the new Middle School. The plan is one area at a time throughout the City of Muskego,
along with obtaining approvals and ROW permits from adjacent municipalities. Target
completion date is May 2018.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Discussion update and possible action may be taken on any or all of the following:
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion update and possible action may be taken on any or all of the following:
Martin/Lentini Vision Corner
Alderman Borgman gave some background information leading up to the first six months of
2017 and all the complaints he received. In June he started talking to both the homeowners
and the City to come up with an agreed upon compromise. The homeowners will need to trim
back/remove their bushes in the 30' x 30' vision triangle. The City has agreed to paint a 12"
Stop bar for added safety, along with relocating a Stop sign and a No Parking sign.
Alderman Borgman made a motion to approve the Martin/Lentini Vision Corner
compromise between the homeowners and the City, Alderman Engelhardt seconded.
Motion Passed 3 in favor.
