COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
The Mayor announced the appointment of Don Reidy to the Mayor’s Task Force. He
presented an update on the progress of the lower level remodeling of City Hall. Mayor
De Angelis stated he would continue to forward correspondence to the Aldermen
regarding the Stoneridge Groundwater Remediation.
Reso. #245-2000 - Approval of Fire Protection Agreement with Muskego Volunteer Fire
Company for 2001, on the floor, deferred 12/12/2000. Mayor requested privilege of the
floor for representatives of the fire company to respond to inquiries. There were no
objections. A memo from the Finance Director discussed two payment options. It is
more cost effective for the City to pay the company for the previous year’s fire calls in
the first quarter. Fire company representatives stated receipt of the money for the fire
calls in the first quarter would be immediately paid out to the members and no
additional cash reserves were budgeted in 2001. Patterson moved to amend the 2001
agreement to reflect the change in the quarterly payments as discussed. Wichgers
seconded; motion carried. Reso. #245-2000, as amended, adopted 7-0.
Ord. #1052 - An Ordinance to Amend the Zoning Map of the City of Muskego (B-3, RS-
1 and RSE to B-3/OPD). Second Reading. Salentine moved for adoption. Sanders
seconded. The Mayor stated the proposed amendment would make the rezoning
subject to approval of the Building, Site and Operation Plan, Letter of Credit, and
Developer’s Agreement. Patterson stated he received calls asking if business growth
should be encouraged in a third area of the City. Wichgers also stated concerns. A
residential buffer should abut the development. This is putting the cart before the
horse. Salentine disagreed and stated development of this area has been pursued for
many years. The developer has worked with adjoining property owners to meet their
needs. The location of the loading docks was changed. People did not want a
residential buffer. Le Doux stated that the area is destined for business use. People
he spoke with would not want to build a residence there. Patterson reiterated that
development in the existing downtown area should be encouraged. Mr. Turk noted that
this particular development would not fit in the City’s existing downtown area. Slocomb
moved to amend to add, “subject to approval of certified survey map, Building, Site and
Operation Plan, Developer’s Agreement and Letter of Credit” at the end of Section 3.
Sanders seconded. Motion carried with Slocomb, Chiaverotti, Le Doux, Salentine and
Sanders voting “yes” and Patterson and Wichgers voting “no.” Ord. #1052, as
