PUBLIC COMMENT
Debra Bolton, W186S7543 Kingston Dr, Muskego spoke against having an
additional City ordinance restricting the use of lake beyond what Wisconsin DNR
restrictions currently have. She would like to see the Ordinance state that slow-no-
wake be sunset to sunrise like it is for every other lake in the area. She feels that if
the ordinance is changed to read slow-no-wake be from sunset (or 8:30 pm) to 8:00
am we are restricting the use of the residents that pay a lot in taxes and dues.

Restrictions). Second Reading
Alderperson Kubacki moved to approve. Alderperson Engelhardt seconded.
Mayor Petfalski spoke regarding the results of a Survey conducted by the Lake
Association. He said that it shows that many of the respondents prefer having slow-
no-wake from sunset to 8:00 am which is currently how our Ordinance is written.
Discussion followed: Ordinance should be changed to read slow-no-wake from
sunset to sunrise rather than from 8:30 pm to 8:00 am for many reasons.
Alderperson Engelhardt stated he would prefer to have the Ordinance state that
slow-no-wake would end at 8:00 or 8:30 am. There are some with very noisy boats;
many of them own property on the lake. People like the quietness of the morning for
fishing, kayaking, etc.
The signs on the lake say 8:30 pm to 8:00 am slow-no-wake. We need to change
the signs on the lakes to reflect what is in the Ordinance.
Alderperson Hammel made a motion to amend the Ordinance to reflect that
slow-no-wake be from sunset to sunrise. Alderperson Kapusta seconded.
Motion carried; 6 in favor, Alderperson Engelhardt voted no.
Roll call vote to approve Ordinance #1449 as amended; passed unanimously.
