NEW BUSINESS
Discussion update and possible action may be taken on any or all of the following:
Request for Curb Cuts at City Hall for Snowmobiles
Director Kroeger stated this is the second time this request has been brought to the Committee to determine if we will allow the curb cuts and who will pay to have this completed. The
City does not have any type of agreements in place with the Icetronauts along Racine Avenue. However the snowmobile club requests yearly access to Little Muskego Lake and Lake Denoon.
Director Kroeger believes the snowmobiles are truly riding in the Waukesha County right of way and we cannot make the decision to allow the curb cuts. Chief Rens gave some additional
background regarding the laws, driving at night, the legality of the trail, complaints, etc.
Alderperson Madden made a motion to deny the request for Curb Cuts. Alderperson Borgman seconded.
Motion Passed 3 in favor.
NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE
(The following items have been placed on file for staff review. Upon completion of review, staff will submit a supplement detailing options and possible course of action to committee
members.)
COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW

The City is also receiving numerous complaints about garbage/recycling pickups that were missed. Advanced Disposal is currently caught up, but did have vehicle issues during the deep
freeze.
