Review Quotes for restoration/maintenance - Muskego Movie Plex – Sean McMullen met with the
owners of the property to discuss the restoration work and how that work could be completed. The
owners have been formally cited for violations at $300.00 per day. Sean suggests pulling the Letter
of Credit ($56,286.75) and having the City “finance” the balance to have the work completed. Sean
provided the Committee with a quote from Schaefer Snowplowing and Grading LLC for completion
of the work at $66,283.00. A Bankers Agreement will need to be signed by all parties ensuring that
the City will receive payment first if the building is sold, foreclosed or bankruptcy is filed.
Additionally, the adjacent property owner (Mrs. Thomas) will be formally cited for non-compliance to
erosion control at $200.00 per day. Mrs. Thomas will have to have her work completed before the
work can be completed at the Movie Plex. Ald. Slocomb moved to approve the quote received
from Schaefer Snowplowing and Grading LLC in the amount of $66,283. Upon the City finding
topsoil at less than $10.00 per yard that difference will be credited to the City. Seconded by
Ald. Salentine. Carried by all.

indicated that asbestos work is going on at City Hall during the renovation. Furniture for the library

delivery date of 3 weeks for all missing items. The parking lot at the Library will be closed on May
30, 2000 or June 1, 2000 due to final paving. The Committee questioned the Mayor about the
enlarging of the exit/entrance drive. The Mayor believes that the contractor will charge a much
higher price then just putting that project on the Roads Program. The Committee argued that it
would not be a seamless drive and would not match into the other pavement. The Mayor will contact
the contractor to obtain a price quote.
