APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Ald. Salentine moved for approval of the minutes of the meeting held December 8,
2004. Ald. Schroeder seconded; motion carried.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Review Lease Agreement with Waukesha County for Parking Lot
The Committee deferred this item at its last meeting. Mr. McMullen stated the
agreement has been revised. However, language regarding future acquisition of the
property is not included. Waukesha County is not willing to put a dollar amount in the
agreement for the sale of the property. The County has indicated it is willing to sell the
property at fair market value to the City once the DNR gives case closure to the site.
Ald. Salentine asked if the lease could be renewed after the 10-year period. Mr.
McMullen stated that would have to be negotiated. He also noted that the City did not
have to put a parking lot on the property. It is his intent to add the cost of the
improvements to the 2005 Road Program as a separate line item. Ald. Schroeder
asked what the estimated cost of the improvements was. Mr. McMullen stated $25,000
to $30,000, which includes the extension all the way through to the Tess Corners
Volunteer Fire Dept. parking lot. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend approval. Ald.
Schroeder seconded; motion carried. Mr. McMullen stated that if the parking lot were
put in before the site is deemed clean, paving would have to be done around the
existing monitoring wells.
Continue Discussion of the Review and Possible Amendment to the Business Credit
Card Policy
This item was deferred from the December 8 meeting. Ald. Salentine stated she

seconded. Motion failed with Ald. Salentine voting “yes” and Ald. Schroeder voting
