NEW BUSINESS
Recommend Approval of Amendments to Lake Meadows Declaration of Water
Trust
Mr. Paul Literski and Mr. Randy St. Lawrence were present. Mr. St. Lawrence stated
that the subdivision needs a new water system. Plans have been approved by the
DNR. The project will cost approximately $235,000. The original 1979 trust document
does not allow the trust to borrow funds. There are two proposed amendments to the
Lake Meadows Water Trust. One allows for the borrowing of funds; the other provides
for termination of the trust. Construction is supposed to commence July 13. Residents
of the subdivision voted and approved the proposed amendments. Out of 219 votes,
there were only 9 that voted no regarding the option of a blended well. Ald. Werner
moved to recommend approval. Ald. Snead seconded; motion carried.

about the expenditure of $80,000 for playground equipment. Ald. Werner moved to

the road program (without the Parks and Recreation work) is just over $484,000, well
under the budgeted amount. Ald. Fiedler moved to accept the base bid and
alternates submitted by Payne & Dolan ($539,549.80 total). Ald. Snead seconded;
motion carried.
Recommend Acceptance of Proposal Submitted by Ruekert & Mielke for
Geomorphic and Drainage Study
Mr. Simpson stated that the City has been receiving complaints regarding an unnamed
tributary that begins at Union Church Drive and flows into Big Muskego Lake. There is
increased flooding in the area, with no obvious cause. Mr. Simpson spoke with several
consultants; only two have the expertise to study the area, Ruekert & Mielke and
Bonestroo, Inc. The cost for Ruekert & Mielke to do the study is approximately $22,475;
the cost for Bonestroo to do the study is approximately $13,500. Mr. Simpson believes
that the added cost for Ruekert & Mielke to do the study will provide better results. Ald.
Snead stated that the Public Works Committee also reviewed the scope of work and
quotes from the two consultants and agreed that Ruekert & Mielke was best suited to
analyze the problem and provide a solution. Mr. Simpson stated that funding would
come from the Urban and Rural Drainage Account. Ald. Snead moved to recommend
acceptance of the proposal submitted by Ruekert & Mielke for the Geomorphic
and Drainage Study. Ald. Fiedler seconded; motion carried.
Recommend Acceptance of Proposal Submitted by Ruekert & Mielke for Survey
and Design Service for Woodland Place
Mr. Simpson stated that Woodland Place comes down on a steep angle and intersects
with Racine Avenue. There are small ditches on both sides of Woodland Place;
however, during rain events they become very overwhelmed. This situation has created

drainage problems and safety concerns. It also causes icing problems in the winter.
Mr. Simpson obtained proposals from R. A. Smith and Ruekert & Mielke (R & M) for
survey and design services for the intersection. He recommends the proposal
submitted by R & M be accepted for a cost not to exceed $10,000. Ald. Snead stated
that the Public Works Committee also reviewed this issue and recommended
acceptance of the proposal submitted by R & M. She stated that funding for this project
would come from the Urban and Rural Drainage Account. Ald. Fiedler moved to
recommend acceptance of the proposal submitted by Ruekert & Mielke for Survey
and Design Services for Woodland Place at a cost not to exceed $10,000. Ald.
Snead seconded; motion carried.
