Muskego Lions Club Usage Fee Waiver Request
Board members were in receipt of a request from the Muskego Lions Club to waive the usage fees for
Veterans Memorial Park for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for April 3. Board President
Whipple advised that in 2009, the organization had received a waiver.
Mr. Jerald Hulbert moved, Mrs. Koble seconded, to waive the park fees. After discussion, on review of
last year’s approval, Mr. Jerald Hulbert amended his motion, seconded by Mrs. Koble, to approve the
request for waive of the park fees and to advise them that the shelter restrooms are not available.
They will have to provide their own dumpster and portable toilets and be responsible for garbage clean
up and any attributable restoration. Upon a voice vote, the amended motion carried. Mr. Hyde
suggested that in the future for organizations that request and are granted waivers, a deposit be collected.
Annual Muskego Warriors Youth Baseball Tournament
Board members reviewed Mr. Prusinski’s field request (attached) for their tournament scheduled for June 25-
27. The tournament will be on the same order as last year. Department staff did not report any issues from
last year. Mr. Hetzel moved to approve the tournament request with the understanding that they will
work with other organizations on field availability, prep their own fields and responsible for trash pick
up and any attributable restoration. Mr. Hyde seconded. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried.

NEW BUSINESS:
2010 Portable Toilet Service Contract
Board President Whipple advised the members that the department received two bids; one from Port-A-John
in the amount of $4985.50 and the other from Number One Portables in the amount of $5819.00. The award
went to Port-A-John as they had the lowest bid.
Ball Diamond Update (Field Requests)
Board members were provided with the field requests as submitted by the leagues and reviewed by Director
Anderson. Any conflicts were worked out with the leagues. Due to the extensive use of Horn Field, Director
Anderson did not approve the request for Tournament of Champions Baseball/Wind Lake Youth Baseball.
Mr. Jerald Hulbert moved, seconded by Mr. Eric Hetzel, the baseball field assignments for 2010. Mrs.
Koble suggested that for 2011, the Board double up field usage if necessary, possibly on the weekends. Upon
a voice vote, the motion carried.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None
ALDERMAN’S REPORT: Ald. Schaumberg had nothing to report relative to the Parks and Recreation Board.
She expects to have something next month.
STATUS OF PROJECTS:
Park Arthur—nothing to report.
Hwy 36 Trail—A note from Recreation Program Manager Dunn reported the bridge was installed on January
21st. The install was successful until the bridge was placed on the footings. At that time, it was found that the
bridge construction itself was short 6”-8". The bridge surface does not reach to the surface of the recreation
trail. It is error with the company that constructed the bridge itself. So a crane will be coming back in to lift the
bridge and the bridge company will be installing metal to raise the height of the bridge the necessary inches so
that it meets the recreation trail. The time line for this has not been established. The department will not be
paying any more money out on this project. Copy of an email from Mike Church of Reesman to City Engineer
Dave Simpson acknowledged the problem and he further indicated that they expect to receive the extensions
the week of February 15.
Moorland Park/InPro Skate Park—nothing to report.
