Discussion continued on the deferred request to upgrade and
extend the time for holding facilities for dogs. The Public
Works Superintendent stated that he felt his department was
maintaining the facilities and that the type of facilities
requested would not enhance the Public Works building. The two
representatives from HAWS reported that they were opposed to an
extended time frame and would provide a pickup service on a
timely basis including Sunday pickup. The intent for the future
is to expand HAWS service to communities which will provide a
collection as well as transport services in Waukesha County.
HAWS pointed out that an upgrading of the cages would improve the
humane handling of the animals. The financial report prepared by
the Clerk's office indicated that the animal welfare program
generates $2,200 of revenue. Ald. Patterson moved to refer to
the Finance Committee to investigate cost of two new larger
cages. Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried.
Chief Johnson reviewed tornado watch and warning service messages
to be broadcast over the cable television system during the
upcoming storm season as a public service.
The Committee had further discussion on a holding tank request
for Mr. Ken Brown, W126 S9485 No. Cape Road. The Committee
deferred action and requested the Clerk's Office to send a letter
to Mr. Brown informing him that before any approval can be given
a perk test of the property has to be obtained.
Mr. George Meinholz and Mr. Jim Hensel of Waste Management
appeared before the Committee to present a sketch of proposed
layout for recycling. The Committee was receptive to the sketch
as being a workable layout. The contract renewal discussion will
be placed on the May agenda because Waste Management's attorney
was not in attendance.
Well reports from Muskego Landfill and private wells around
Future Parkland landfill were reviewed and placed on file.
The discussion on proposed landfill ordinance was referred to the
Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee which was in process.
The meeting adjourned at 8:22 P.M.
