PSEM19850509PUBLIC SEWER COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MAY 9, 1985
The meeting was called to order at 7:08 P.M. Present were
Committee Members Dumke and Taube, Mayor Salentine and those
persons per the attached list. Chairman Penovich was absent.
Tom Renner of Ruekert & Mielke presented a report on the
abandonment of the sewerage treatment plants. Sludge removal
will include approx. 7,400 cu. yds. from the McShane plant and
34,000 cu. yds. from the 3 ponds on Woods Road (approx.16 acres).
He advised that the DNR passed a restriction in January that no
sludge can be spread on any ground where the water table is
within 3 ft. of the surface. The Committee directed Tom Renner
to arrange a meeting with the prosecuting attorney for the
attorney general's office to negotiate an extension of the
timetable agreed to in the original court ordered stipulation,
which required abandonment by November 30, 1985; and, to
determine if the City can obtain an appeal on the variance needed
to spread sludge in the City of Muskego. If the sludge is spread
on sites in the Town of Vernon, the cost will be approximately
$700,000. Various options were discussed by the Committee
including depositing the sludge in the City's landfill, and
sending it to Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
• The Committee discussed the request of Mr. Carter for a sanitary
sewer extension to service his property across from Bluhm Park at
S76 W13712.-McShane Drive. Ruekert & Mielke's estimated
construction costs for the 400 ft. extension without pavement
restoration (if needed) is $17,600 and does not include
engineering, inspection, contingencies or permits. The Committee
agreed to the project subject to an agreement that a certified
survey map be submitted for the land division, and that the sewer
be extended as requested with a front foot assessment based on
the latest sewer project, or total cost of the project, whichever
is less.
The Committee reviewed the request from St. Paul's Church for an
extension of sewer main and manhole, from Saroyan Road west of
Sherwood Circle. The Committee referred this project to Ruekert
& Mielke to proceed to obtain approval of the existing lateral
which was sized and constructed as a main, with all costs to be
paid by St. Paul's Church.
The Committee reviewed the Deferred Assessment of Joan and James
Kohne and their request to build on a .96 acre portion of their
property without paying up their entire assessment. The
Committee recommended approval of payment for 75 ft. X $11.45/ft.
plus interest, as a partial payment on the Deferred Assessment on
. Tax Key No. 2190.999.001.

of the equipment. Ald. Taube moved to approve the sale to the
Town of Norway of the following: Comminutor - $300.00; Air
Headers - $10.00 each; Worm Gear & Motor - $30.00;, and Air
blowers & piping - $50.00 each. Ald. Dumke seconded, motion

Lemke and Lindhorst is signed, and the easement obtained.
Ald. DeAngelis reported on the forced hook-up of the Cameron
Bruce property. Ald. Dumke moved to enforce the forced -hook up
procedure to connect the Bruce residence to municipal sewers
unless the Bruce residence is razed within 30 days. Ald. Taube
seconded, motion carried.
• The Committee reconsidered the $912.00 D. F. Tomasini bill
relating to a septic tank problem during construction of the
sewers at S79 W16132 Bay Lane Place. Tomasini has agreed to
reduce the bill by $304.00. Because of confusion in the
direction to perform the work, Ald. DeAngelis requested that the
City absorb the amount of $300.00 for this work. Ald. Dumke
moved to deny payment of the bill. Ald. Taube seconded, motion
carried.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from Ruekert & Mielke
regarding the Bass Bay sewers and Sobek Lane lift station. Ald.
DeAngelis will meet the engineers on the site 5/10/85 to review
the complaint.
