PERSONAL APPEARANCES
Joseph Seifert appeared before the Parks and Recreation Board as a representative
of the Muskego Historical Society to present their requests for equipment.
The items submitted were TIF eligible items complete with price quotes. Areas
of concern included an alarm system to be purchased for the Wollman house to
replace the old alarm which had also been purchased through TIF funding. Also,
having humidifiers in an unheated building: Motion regarding this concern was
made by John Schaal to deny the request of the humidifiers and recommend to
the Finance Committee the purchase of six dehumidifiers alone. Don Kangas
seconded. After discussion, Don Kangas withdrew the second and John Schaal
withdrew the motion.
Joe Weitzer moved to recommend to the Finance Committee the approval of funds
to purchase the humidifiers based on the City's acceptance of heating costs,
which would either be paid for by the City or by the Historical Society.
John Schaal seconded. Motion carried.
Joe Weitzer moved to recommend to the Finance Committee approval of funds
through TIF 117 for the purchase of the gravel traffic bond for the parking lot

dehumidifiers, six card tables, two long tables, a wheel barrow, an electric
drill, locks and deadbolts for security, a 32-foot ladder, a six-foot and an
eight-foot ladder. John Schaal seconded the motion. Motion carried.

At the last board meeting, Wil Vidal appeared to bring the board up to date
on the pier put on the Lochcrest and Kingston public access lots. Peter did
check the piers and found no real problems other than private equipment being
left on the piers and "too severe a step" on to the pier.
