Mr. Edward D. DePreter, Vice -President of the Druml Company, appeared
at the meeting to request permission to begin spreading wastewater
residue (sludge from sewage treatment plants) on agricultural lands
in the City of Muskego. Following considerable discussion, Ald.
Constantineau moved to recommend to the Common Council adoption of
guidelines and procedures for the application of wastewater sludge
to agricultural land in the City of Muskego. The guidelines to
include a two-year probationary period for evaluation. Seconded by
Ald. CcIburn , motion carried. Ald. Constantineau moved to
grant the request of the Druml Company to apply wastewater sludge on
the Alvin Basse property subject to compliance of the recommended
procedures as adopted by the Common Council. Seconded by Ald.
Colburn, motion carried.
The committee recommended to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee
to have an ordinance prepared which would require "No Wake" buoys
• in Little Muskego Lake, placed 200 feet from shore at 500 feet inter-
vals for the purpose of protecting swimmers, fishermen and shorelines
from extensive erosion.
Correspondence from Mr. Daniel McGrath of the Freedom Square Condo-
minium Association was reviewed and placed on file.
The committee received and reviewed Building Inspector Lee's report
on the Thomas Landfill area from May 1, 1976, to June 8, 1976. The
report indicated that all requirements of the DNR and City of Muskego
are being met.
The committee discussed at length the present procedure which requires
a $1,000.00 cash bond before a holding tank is permitted to be
installed in the city. Ordinance #305 presently requires a $1,000.00
cash bond be deposited with the city which means that any interest
coming from that bond stays with the city. It was the decision of
the committee to recommend to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee
that Section 16.25(1) of the city's Municipal Code be amended so as
to permit the creation of an escrow account in any bank or savings
and loan which would be payable to the City of Muskego upon demand.
However, all interests would accrue to the owner of the cash bond.
• The committee received a communication from Building Inspector Lee
regarding odor generated by the raising of fowl on the Wayne Jeschke
property on Martin Drive. Zoning Officer Lee recommended that since
no city ordinance has been violated that the city should not become
involved. It is his suggestion that the complainant sign a complaint
which would bring the matter to Municipal Court under Section 10.02
Public Nuisance.
The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and placed on file.
• The meeting adjourned at 7:45 P.M.
