COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
The Waukesha water project is still making its way through our community very disruptively.
Mayor's office has been getting daily questions as to the restoration. We are withholding a permit
for the last section until we come to an agreement that they either finish up with the restoration or
we get a large letter of credit before we let them continue.
Little Muskego Lake dam was raised last week.
Concerning Absentee Ballots, please do not put any in the drop box. The drop box is well marked.

FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES AND SECOND READING IF RULES ARE WAIVED
Ordinance #1470 - An Ordinance to Add Chapter 297 to the Municipal Code of the City of Muskego
(Short Term Rentals)
Mayor mentioned that this is currently done through a Conditional Use Grant on a case by case
base through the Plan Commission. With this in place it protects the property rights of adjacent
owners. Mayor asked for guidance from Council to set a fee for the permit. Fees in other
communities range between $250 - $1,000. Everyone agreed that $500 would be a reasonable
permit fee. There is also a Room Tax, Tourist Rooming House fee, and an insurance
requirement.
Ordinance #1471 - An Ordinance to Add Chapter 286 to the Municipal Code of the City of Muskego
(Room Tax)
The 8% Room Tax by state statute will be divided so that 30% goes to the City and 70% goes to
an entity (tourism) to be used to promote the City.
