reviewed with employees and existing policies will be evaluated in an effort to prevent
future violations.

if it were to be used by the public. Mr. Zagar is recommending that the structure be

Discussion Regarding Timeframe for Display of Fireworks
Ald. Fiedler requested this item be placed on the agenda. As he was not present, Ald.
Borgman moved to defer. Ald. Melcher seconded; motion carried.
Discuss Creation of an Ordinance Relating to Sex Offender Residency
Restrictions
Mayor Johnson stated that several municipalities are adopting ordinances that restrict
where registered sex offenders may reside. The Mayor does not want Muskego to be
the last city to do so and become a magnet for these offenders. Ald. Werner agreed.
The Mayor stated that the City Attorney suggested waiting for Milwaukee’s ordinance,
which will be available in a few weeks. It could possibly be used as a model. Ald.
Borgman moved to authorize the Mayor to pursue the creation of an ordinance
(once Milwaukee’s is available) and to support the cost incurred to do so. Ald.
Werner seconded; motion carried.
Discuss Completion of Paving at Muskego High School Athletic Facilities
The Mayor presented some background information regarding this issue. The City
entered into an agreement with the school district to construct athletic facilities several
years ago. A parking lot was part of the project; however, the last layer of asphalt was
not completed because of total project costs. The School District has stated that the
City Engineer verbally said that the parking lot could be paved when Woods Road was
resurfaced at the City’s expense. Several years have transpired and the Woods Road
project is now part of the City’s 2007 Road Program. The estimated cost to complete
the parking lot is $37,000. Based on the original agreement, the City’s contribution
would be 37.75% or $13,968. The Mayor would like to see the project completed. The
paving would be added to the City’s 2007 Road Improvement Program. Ald. Borgman
expressed concern about the City’s original commitment. Mayor Johnson stated that it
is not certain that the statement was made and if it was, it was not authorized. Ald.
Werner moved to defer until the next meeting. Ald. Melcher seconded; motion
carried.

of $357,387.17 and Utility Vouchers in the amount of $223,736.42. Ald. Borgman
