NEW BUSINESS
Discuss ARPA Funds
Mr. Kroeger stated he needs direction from Committee Members to earmark funds. We are
limited on how to use them. Main focus is to improve utilities for areas of commercial in
Muskego. The only money spent from the ARPA Funds is the reimbursement for the oversizing
of the water main at the Glen at Muskego Lakes. Estimated costs for the proposed projects
were mentioned. A discussion regarding some of the projects followed. Tess Corners and
Hillendale projects were stated as top priority; they would end up going on Capital in the next
year. Mayor stated that originally the plan was to find ways of expanding the economic
development and these needs are more pressing at this time. The Committee agreed that the
funds should go toward the Tess Corners and Hillendale projects.

Trails Discussion
Page 12
Alderman Terrence requested this item to be put on the agenda. He stated that he wanted to
see how City can preplan for trail development across the community. Mr. Kroeger handed out
a parks and open space plan for future recreational trail recommendations and explained the
background. Mr. Trzebiatowski talked about funding. After a question and answer period,
Alderman Terrence thanked them for the information.
Discuss Open Liquor in Public
Mayor Petfalski stated a topic that came up during a discussion once was carrying an alcoholic
beverage while out walking in the community. There are ordinances for drunkenness in public,
disorderly conduct, littering, etc. There is no requirement from the state that we have an
ordinance against open intoxicants or state statutes that say it is illegal. Is this something that
the Committee would be willing to repeal? Events such as wine walks, etc. are difficult to plan
and become prohibitive the way our ordinances are written now. The Committee is in favor of
this plan.
COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
None.
