City of Muskego Park Arthur 4 agreement[5496].docx
Moved by Alderperson Kubacki; seconded by Alderperson Wolfe to Approve.
Alderman Wolf asked for a history including what we talked about in past budgets in regard to the three
diamonds. Mr. Kroeger stated the following in response:
1) Cost for field prep too high and games rained out
2) Turfed fields 1, 2 & 3 which allowed a user fee and brought in more tournaments. This was started in
2021 with the first games played in 2022
3) The grades of all of the fields were raised to improve drainage
4) We don't cancel games anymore

Mr. Kroeger talked about the reasons for bringing this forward early. Now we are able to have the company
come in, do the work, and get it done so we don't loose any tournament or any play starting in 2025. Also,
they are seeing a 10% increase cost in terms of turf, labor, freight, etc. We would not pay anything until 2025.
We will be doing a lot of the work with Ryan as the project manager. DPW is available now as apposed to
waiting until the first of the year.
Last year we had about $70,000 in revenue for doing tournaments and right now we are right about there for
2024.
This would not be possible without the donation and we would not even be talking about it. Mayor stated that
everything in capital this year will be funded through the landfill and that we have enough in there.
In response to the question, "Why are we here?", Alderperson Wolfe answered that it is because it's
procedural that we should be here, and the Mayor agreed it's more transparent.
We joined TIPS in 2021 and - they guarantee it is the lowest bid possible. We are trying to make these fields
as versatile as possible.
Alderperson Schroeder stated that this started as an email from Mayor that if there was no objection, he
would move forward.
Alderperson Madden and Alderperson Kubacki stated that there are limitations for what the landfill money can
be used. It can't be used for roads or fire departments.
