REVIEW OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The Committee reviewed the minutes of the
April 5, 1999 and had them placed on file.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Update on status of Condemnations/Citations - Al Biwer reports that there is nothing new to
discuss. Aid. Chiaverotti questioned the issue of the signage at Parkland Mall. Al stated that the
Zoning Department issued a citation and that this issue would be going to court on May 19, 1999.
Update on existing forms and ordinances - Proposed Building Code - Nothing to report.
Status of Recycling/Refuse - Continued discussion on yard waste pickup - Complaints for the
month of April were 10 in total. Recycling pickup missed: 4, missed garbage pickup 4, missed
white goods pickup 1 and 1 complaint of garbage flying out of top of garbage truck. BFI was
contacted regarding the flying garbage.
Status of Cable TV - Aid. Patterson read a letter he received from Bev Greenburg which states
that effective for the June billing the cable fees will drop from 4 cents to 3 cents for the FCC. Also
• on June 30, 1999 the Home and Garden Network will be added to the lineup. Aid. Patterson
questioned the Committee regarding the addition of this channel when in the past Warner Cable
stated that they lacked the room.
Additionally, at a past meeting, the City of Big Bend requested the sharing of the City's channel 15
for their use. Aid. Patterson discussed the issue with the schools and they will give the City of Big
Bend all day use of channel 15 on Wednesday's and Thursday's in the spirit of cooperation until
the new contract is signed. The Committee thanks the schools for making this concession. A
formal letter will be drafted to notify Big Bend.
Review of existing landfill expansions - Nothing to report.
Further discussion of massage therapy business - Opinion from the City Attorney has been
received. A few minor changes in the wording were made by the Attorney. Police Chief Johnson
has no concerns with the changes made. Minor errors will be corrected in the numerals of the
document. The ordinance will provide some protection to the City regarding non -legitimate
massage businesses. The ordinance is structured toward the provider (individual) of the service
and not the owner of the business Aid. Pionek recommends forwarding the ordinance to
Council for adoption. Seconded by Aid. Chiaverotti. Carried by all.
Further discussion on Regulation of Entertainment in Class B Establishments - Chief Johnson
provided the secondary affects study as requested by the City Attorney. The study proves that
these type of establishments (nude dancing in taverns) do have an adverse affect within the
community. This ordinance is constitutionally defensible, but significant money would be
• expended defending it if it was ever challenged in court and made it to the Supreme Court. Al
searched all of the current zoning regulations within Muskego and found no zoning restrictions to
prevent this type of business in Muskego. Chief Johnson reports that several communities within
the League of Municipalities have adopted similar ordinances. Aid. Patterson suggests one
ordinance that includes both nude and partial nudity guidelines be developed because he feels

that both types of activity adversely affect the community in which it is located. Chief Johnson will
• look into how the wording could be created to encompass both types of situations.
NEW BUSINESS
Review request for stop sign on Steeplechase Drive at Gold Drive (Chief Johnson) - Due to a
citizen complaint Chief Johnson checked the intersection in question. The road is an extension of
the original Steeplechase Drive. The stop sign should have been included in the Subdivider's
Agreement with the developer paying for the stop sign. This did not occur Chief Johnson feels
that the installation of a stop sign is warranted at this intersection. Aid. Chiaverotti moved to
recommend to Council the development of a resolution to install a stop sign on
Steeplechase Drive at Gold Drive. Seconded by Aid. Pionek. Carried by all.
Review reauest for sianaae - Pedestrian Crossina (Recreation Trail on Durham) - Parks and
Recreation Director, Craig Anderson requested that this Committee approve and post two signs
where the recreation trail intersects at Durham. Several phone calls have come in stating that it is
a severe safety issue for people crossing Durham. The Committee sends this request back to the
Parks and Recreation Department with their approval of installing the signage with Parks and
Recreation paying for the signs, Wayne can provide posts and any assistance they may require
installing the signs.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANY OTHER BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW - Ald. Pionek
questioned the Proposed Building Code status. According to the March 1, 1999 meeting minutes,
the City Attorney was to provide their opinion on the Demolition ordinance portion of the code. Io-
date this has not been returned to this Committee for review. The Committee requests that the
City Attorney provide a status report and anticipated completion date for the review of the material.
• Ald. Pionek also questioned the status of the Adopt -a -Road program. Wayne reports that after
meeting with the Mayor, a policy drafted by the Public Works Committee be provided first that
outlines the program (safety vests provided, signage provided, road designation, age limits, liability
waver, etc..) and volunteer coordination. Council will then need to approve the program. Wayne
has been working with the County Adopt -a -Road representative to develop Muskego's program.
Aid. Pionek on behalf of the Public Works Committee will work with Wayne to create the policy and
subsequent program.
ADJOURNMENT - Being no further business to discuss, Aid. Chiaverotti, moved to adjourn the
meeting at 7:40 PM, seconded by Aid. Pionek. Carried by all.
