• MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MAY 241 1972
The meeting was called to order at 8:59 P.M. by Chairman Dumke. Also
present were Mayor Gottfried, Aldermen Ford, Knudsen and Sapp and Chief
Kraus.
The minutes of the previous meeting, held on 5/17/72 were reviewed and
placed on file.
• The matter of the unsightly garage at the end of Lochcrest Drive was
again discussed. Aid. Knudsen moved to request that the Welfare Committee
direct Building Inspector Lee to start condemnation action. The motion died
for lack of a second. It was the opinion of the other members of the
Committee that since the owner of the garage has made some attempts to
improve the structure by painting and patching, the city would be hard
pressed to make the condemnation order stick.
Two (2) junked car violations were reviewed and placed on file.
Aid. Dumke requested reconsideration of the Municipal Code covering the
hours during which target, trap and skeet shooting is permitted. At
the present time, Sec. 9.02 (c) allows shooting from sunrise to 10:30 P.M.
•Aid. Knudsen moved to recommend that the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee
initiate an ordinance change alaowing shooting during the hours of 10:00 AM
to 10:30 P.M. only. Seconded by Aid. Sapp. Motion carried.
Aid. Ford requested that the city take some action against the City of
New Berlin to force them to take steps to alleviate the flowage of polluted
waters into our city. The committee will request that Mr. Herb Ripley of
the Waukesha County Health Department and Mr. Bernard Schultz of the Dept.
of Natural Resources attend a future meeting to suggest the steps that we
should take. Mayor Gottfried will contact both gentlemen to set a meeting
date in the near future.
Aid. Ford advised the committee that he recently viewed many septic
violations in the Bay Lawn and Freedom Acres Subdivisions and indicated
that these areas are badly in need of sewers.
Mayor Gottfried suggested that a letter be sent to all citizens advising
them of the Municipal Codes covering the licensing of dogs and junked
car violations. Mayor Gottfried will draft a letter and submit it to
the committee.
Further discussion on the Acme-Wauer-City of Muskego Agreement was held.
