Comment During Common Council Meetings. Salentine moved for adoption.
Borgman seconded. Melcher objected to speakers being limited to comment only on
agenda items and that speakers must be City residents or taxpayers. The proposed
procedure will be extremely restrictive for some boards or organizations. This is not the
case in other municipalities. Salentine noted that if the issue was with an organized
group, there could be one person designated to speak. Madden did not object to
allowing comment by other people as long as the City’s residents received priority.
Buckmaster recommended that if a nonresident wanted to speak, the individual would
have to be sponsored by a City resident. It was suggested that this item be deferred for
the Clerk and/or City Administrator to draft new language to allow a speaker to be
sponsored by a City resident or taxpayer and to determine what will happen if the Public
Comment portion is not completed within the 30-minute time frame. Salentine moved
to defer. Madden seconded; motion carried.

Reso. #130-2006 - Resolution Regarding Muskego Historical Society (Settlement
Center Grounds). Salentine moved for adoption. Buckmaster seconded.
Buckmaster proposed that the Public Works Committee be the intermediate authority for
the Settlement Center. He supports the creation of an Ad-Hoc Committee as suggested
by the Mayor. Discussion took place regarding the City’s Public Works Department
being able to do some of the required work. City Administrator Sheiffer clarified that a
recommendation to do so would have to come from the Finance Committee to the
Council and the Council would have to approve by a 3/4 vote. Melcher requested
privilege of the floor to allow Mr. Roman to speak. Salentine objected. Salentine
moved to amend to add 1. “That a 7-member Ad-Hoc Committee be created to
consist of two aldermen (Melcher and Snead), two citizens, one Muskego
Historical Society member, one Chamber of Commerce member and one member
of an outside Historical Society.” Borgman seconded; motion carried. The Mayor
stated the appointment of members to the Committee would be confirmed by the

Committee will be the point of authority for the immediate needs of the Settlement
Center.” Melcher seconded; motion carried. Borgman moved to amend to add 3.

Muskego Historical Society will be created by the Ad-Hoc Committee.” Melcher

adopted 6-0.
