Development News from the latest meeting
Village Board Discusses 2027 Budget Process and Financial Outlook
The village board discussed the upcoming 2027 budget process, highlighting key themes such as increased costs for fire services, debt service obligations, and the impact of shared revenue. Staff outlined the timeline for budget proposal submission, review, and public hearing, emphasizing the importance of board member input on service levels, levy increases, and budget schedule modifications. The discussion also touched upon the need for potential future adjustments to utility rates to accommodate infrastructure projects and the strategic importance of grant seeking and a 10-year capital improvement plan outlook.
Police Department Plans Radio Upgrade and Discusses Safety Camera Usage
The police department plans to purchase new handheld radios in 2027, as the current radios, purchased in 2011, are nearing their end of life and no longer supported by the manufacturer. The village is exploring a group purchase with other municipalities and the county to leverage a purchasing agreement with Motorola, similar to the successful 2011 acquisition, to achieve significant cost reductions. Flock safety cameras are an ongoing recurring expense, with the current agreement expiring within one to two years. The system includes safeguards for data access and auditing, and data is not shared with the federal government, primarily with other Wisconsin municipalities. The department maintains a strict policy regarding officer conduct and data usage.
Village Approves Plans for Major Sewer, Stormwater, and Water Infrastructure Upgrades
The village is planning significant sewer and stormwater infrastructure upgrades, including lateral replacements and creek stabilization. In 2027, focus will be on sewer lateral replacements, with a substantial increase planned for 2028 to address issues in specific neighborhoods like Bradley Estates, Green Gables Subdivision, and the Silver Leaf area. The proposed method is trenchless technology (CIP lining or pipe bursting). For stormwater, the ditch program and the wheel loader purchase are noted, with Beaver Creek stabilization to be revisited in 2028 after engineering is finalized in 2027. Water main replacements are also a priority, with a strategy to time them with road reconstruction projects, anticipating increased costs in future years.
Village Advances Park Improvements with Security Upgrades and New Park Development
The village is investing in park and recreation facilities, including security upgrades for the concession building at Coach Park, featuring new security cameras and a fob system for bathroom access. A larger project involves the build-out of the mini-square park, with design and engineering underway and a community focus group scheduled. Residents provided input on community square plans during a previous event. Security cameras at both parks will be reactionary, allowing for footage review within 30 days.
Parkland Avenue Sidewalk and Repaving Plans Confirmed for Next Year
Cindy Ho inquired about future sidewalk construction on Parkland Avenue, noting concerns about current road conditions due to construction traffic and semis. She questioned if a full repaving of Parkland would occur. Village staff confirmed that the current patching on Brooklyn is temporary due to water main breaks on Parkland. They stated that Parkland Avenue is on the list for repaving next year (2027), prioritizing it after the Sherman Boulevard project is completed. Wooddale is also on the list for repaving.
