ACCEPTANCE AND REVIEW OF COMMITTEE REPORTS

minutes. Schroeder seconded; motion carried. Discussion ensued regarding the
Outside Dance Permit and Extension of Time for Outside Premise for Bushy’s.
Buckmaster moved to clarify “that a memo be sent to the Muskego Police Department
to have the Police Department present at midnight on Friday and Saturday and at 10:00
p.m. on Sunday to monitor that the outside band/music discontinues playing at the
prescribed times.” Salentine seconded; motion carried. Schroeder discussed the e-
mail correspondence received regarding the Tess Corners Ice Cream Social to be held
on Friday, June 4 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Mayor Slocomb stated he discussed with Chief
Johnson who did not believe the events would conflict with each other. Bushyfest does
not get started until about 10:00 pm on Friday and the school event would be over by
then. Buckmaster stated he talked to Lynn Kurer and she will attempt to keep her
customers off of school property on Friday evening. Schroeder moved to amend to
reflect that Ms. Kurer is encouraged to do what she can on Friday, June 4 until 8:30 -
9:00 to be a good neighbor for the benefit of the school event that is scheduled. The
City will review any negative input received this year if the license holder does request
approval for the event next year. Buckmaster seconded; motion carried. Atty. Molter
stated while these may be clarifications of the action that the Committee already took,
our past practice has been that minutes of a specific body can only be amended by that
body. It was determined that the items discussed would be placed in the Council
minutes under approval of the license. Buckmaster asked why the ending time for
music on Sunday was 10:00 p.m. Schroeder responded that is how it was in the past.
There were no past complaints regarding the activities that took place on Sunday, only
Friday and Saturday.
