NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Health Insurance Options
Mayor Petfalski described the handout Ms. Mueller provided. There are two options; employees
would choose one. Option #1 is a Limited Provider Network with a 10% employee contribution
and Option #2 is the Current Plan with a 12% employee contribution. Council Members agreed
that employees be given both options.
Discuss Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Extension along Loomis Road
Mr. Kroeger gave an overview of the Comprehensive Plan. The area we are discussing is by the
Champions Village entrance. The Glen at Muskego Lakes will be coming. We need to make
sure we have utilities to be enticing to develop the area. We can upsize sanitary sewer to 15”
pipes and water main to 16” pipes. This means that there will be larger than normal
reimbursement charges for water main and sewer on the Development Agreements. More
people are talking to us about this corridor.
Derek Bushman, Civil Engineer with Graef, explained the plan in more detail.
