Trustee Arndorffer moved to approve Resolution 2025-06, described in the agenda as creating the annual streetlight operations special charge; Trustee Kudo seconded. The board conducted a roll-call vote; all trustees voted aye and the motion carried 7-0.

Village staff said the inaugural implementation year will spread the charge across the utility bill’s three billing cycles so the village can reconcile expenditures for the phase-1 installations. Thereafter the annual charge will be divided across four quarterly utility billings. Staff also said a public information meeting and online GIS mapping tool will be published to show how the linear-foot calculation was applied to each parcel and to allow property owners to view their estimated charges before bills are issued.

Trustees and staff said the village expects some electric-cost reductions as LED fixtures are installed but that the fee will be reviewed annually against actual operating and debt-service costs. The board did not amend the fee schedule in open session; it adopted the resolution as presented and asked staff to conduct outreach to property owners before the first bills are issued.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community & Business Relations, Committee Of the Whole and Village Board Meetings 05 05 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Village Board approved Resolution 2025-06 creating an annual streetlight operations special charge to recover operating costs for the village's new streetlight system; the resolution passed by roll-call vote, 7-0.","taxTitle","Shorewood, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",69871,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247718,"Village board approves RFP for available lower-level Village Center space",563,4347620,4910640,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483&start=4347&end=4910","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483/thumbnail_4347620.jpg","/articles/6247718/Shorewood/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Village-board-approves-RFP-for-available-lower-level-Village-Center-space","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247718-3824f7b0bd4e08780e5dc6c2aaed850b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185441&Signature=bqGk16ztznU1ARGsCxJWq7tsjEICnP67C1k1oD0VFQtEVSwJwR9UK3dpLg8ltbP50nPs~VyIH8RrZjY9EZD4gxtAH~OVpbzJRb7cn9u-XRu8vt6wo4Sf2ZfuFAcse6JEpv6kbPnfnUZQ4ewI9AvF0ZDaJ2lJ-b6rODyzAnKc2~h~jybxr-f297SNxwI4SrPrJHIbpGVwGt5b-aNa8wktG8wv0j1g66oi8YdGVChqbeCboif3z9z2PXI5FbxMekF5SbNC8tlQWLGSqGysojQuKMpiDE8yLbv~gR5B92qjfc9IxG1hYisq9YEbx6LbZvzgAe8L8cVhuGI85qzWquOH6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board approved a request-for-proposals (RFP) to solicit responses for the lower-level space in the Village Center vacated by the North Shore Health Department.

Trustees said the RFP is intended to cast a wide net: proposals may include office leases, community programming, meeting-space uses or other options. The motion passed after trustees discussed budget constraints and the absence of earmarked capital within the long-range plan to add staffing or significant space improvements. The board said proposals that require tenant-funded build-out or revenue-generating leases would be considered alongside options to reserve space for municipal programming if no acceptable commercial proposals are received.

Trustees asked staff to distribute the RFP broadly, including village organizations and outside parties, to identify potential tenants or programming partners. The board noted the item seeks options and not a predetermined outcome; trustees may consider specific lease or operational proposals after they are received and reviewed by staff and committees.

The RFP language was prepared by the Strategic Initiatives Committee and was advanced to the board for authorization; motion carried on a voice vote.","The board approved issuing an RFP to solicit proposals for the lower-level Village Center space vacated by the North Shore Health Department, aiming to explore leasing, programming, or other uses.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247723,"Shorewood board approves design for green curb extension at Capitol and Morris to improve pedestrian safety",155,3189410,3344984,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483&start=3189&end=3344","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483/thumbnail_3189410.jpg","/articles/6247723/Shorewood/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Shorewood-board-approves-design-for-green-curb-extension-at-Capitol-and-Morris-to-improve-pedestrian-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247723-54b77b615380b2bfada4f8b5fa8a0bfd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185441&Signature=ewa~jO3wMlegB~jnS8NZnk4aZCYvuCguE-6t8SUtkDrer0ZEbPjbWF5sSX2EPu64wv9zMY6vVNe8hZU1V220t2ecgdjNT996FFC3ZkdO0MKjf4JxjifAhELa1dX4WyzbALoSNmiQhT69b8kRA-kNxLhh8d7BykL4dJhjHOkMMArdSoHcqM3RG8E3wZklPTh4BesWnOAZSCCA6I0Qf1lgByEnwuMVWF3Lp2ofWJ6tuoVshDrRv5W9l3hK9fwvywoiGkVAnw1tG~VmGfASyprZyQzLlrukD-kq6F-svHGaOfmB7O2CFYSD7sEE-DrHMifMZZ9WJfx4ZIHncxHzZAhHiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board approved a motion to proceed with design of a green infrastructure curb extension (a curb ‘bump-out’) at the northeast corner of East Capitol Drive and North Morris Boulevard to improve pedestrian safety.

Trustees said the project grew from ongoing pedestrian-safety discussions at the Public Works Committee and noted a recent pedestrian struck by an SUV on the west side of the intersection. The motion directs staff and the village engineer to design a curb extension with green-infrastructure plantings and to seek Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) Green Solutions funding to pay for engineering and construction; the village sewer utility’s professional-fee engineering funds will supplement the grant.

Trustees discussed the design implications for parking and bus operations. Staff said the preferred configuration would shift the bus stop east so the bus pulls in before the bump-out and that the curb extension would restrict parking in the immediate corner area; staff estimated the work would remove “between 1 and 3 spaces” depending on the final design. The board emphasized the design phase would include engineering and public-review steps and that staff could return to the board with detailed plans if trustees requested.

The motion was moved, seconded and approved by the board. Trustees characterized the measure as a targeted pedestrian-safety improvement and said they supported using grant funding and incremental engineering to minimize local budget impact.","The board approved staff and the village engineer proceeding with design of a green-infrastructure curb extension at the northeast corner of East Capitol Drive and North Morris Boulevard, funded by MMSD Green Solutions engineering and construction grants supplemented with sewer utility engineering funds.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247728,"Shorewood board awards $2.17M lead service-line contract, approves up to $60,000 for large-pipe sewer televising",430,2515595,2946339,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483&start=2515&end=2946","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483/thumbnail_2515595.jpg","/articles/6247728/Shorewood/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Shorewood-board-awards-217M-lead-service-line-contract-approves-up-to-60000-for-large-pipe-sewer-televising","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247728-f413efa44e2c6f2ed855190b61518f45/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185441&Signature=ZHnMETUjwU0bfPzp~GyMh4IQVT-NcE7SkiQC9Xx8AAWYRw56-fFXl0fZzJqmCkK9gOCnCyC7AjZoTjtyJhuXXuDCOAbX0utEtm-hw3O4TooGNS2Wqi62OqNDbDoqlvZNDmTnsiEmcsZqNETMjmmKFJgvIVLuVt1ZH-HSzSoxuUYEROIEhwMTqpQpSrrurJw4pjdOZ2ze9hkrYH4zffUCS992jYzFltnVjAQw9ydEzSzOJfSEAl8GY8XzhkcEd6aEkZwHTlWkEKQuhLKWcEa8VSRBbh9av4kifO~yUE0FhGNrlN2z2m-7QuDkX87MPLyX6fpghcbqvOc0u0B0JmTWCg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shorewood Village Board approved two infrastructure contracts on the same night: a $2,174,514 unit-price contract to replace lead (LIRA/Lehi) service lines in the Southeast area and a separate contract not to exceed $60,000 to televise and heavy-clean critical large storm and deep sewer pipes.

At the start of the village board session, a trustee moved to award the lead service-line contract to 5 Star Energy Services for the 2025–2026 Southeast area service-line replacement project; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The motion text in the official record specified the base bid amount of $2,174,514 for the contract.

The board also considered a bid for large-pipe televising. Staff recommended awarding a unit-price contract to Vishu Sewer for an amount not to exceed $60,000. Staff cautioned the board that the original budget estimate was lower than the lowest responsive bid and that large-pipe storm sewer work is less predictable than routine sanitary-line work because storm lines are not regularly cleaned and can contain unanticipated heavy debris.

A staff member explained that contractors would prioritize critical segments, and the contract is structured so crews clean and televise segments in priority order; the contractor would proceed to subsequent segments only after the board and staff assess budget status. Staff requested completion of the televising work in time for Strand (the village’s engineering consultant) to analyze the footage and provide budget recommendations in September for the 2026 planning cycle.

Board members asked whether televising and cleaning the deep storm pipe would become a recurring maintenance item; staff said that while some especially large or deep pipes may be scheduled for periodic re-inspection (every five to 10 years in some cases), routine storm-sewer cleaning is not common practice because high-flow events typically scour storm conduits. Trustees also asked whether the televising equipment differs from prior municipal arrangements; staff said the contract covers specialized large-pipe equipment municipalities typically do not own.

Both motions carried with no recorded opposition. The board’s actions will feed into the long-range financial planning and 2026 budget discussions; staff noted the televising results will help the village prioritize capital spending on critical sewer infrastructure.","The village awarded a unit-price contract to replace lead service lines in the Southeast area and authorized a separate contract to televise and clean critical large storm sewers to inform 2026 budgeting.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247734,"Shorewood committee votes 2-1 to direct staff to use modified 2024 July 4 parade route",739,3679,742834,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483&start=3&end=742","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212751-24baf0e0d17f47d32bd8136383672483/thumbnail_3679.jpg","/articles/6247734/Shorewood/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Shorewood-committee-votes-2-1-to-direct-staff-to-use-modified-2024-July-4-parade-route","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247734-1d5f443112e35992497dd9eab70a8de4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185441&Signature=X4vjimJyTBGulIep2eI~9OPSUdoQZX0uw7BitKt1t4E8jffanv~EsBAT6C288xzhbdRYaP6kbBYQpU451EJ3ILc2oGRk-UtbKaZfvs4alRILbQvyX8TxMN2iC5fMiQXSLF5FnxeeB2j2eZUMuXYVBliEIF1yFVXYg4UHUVoEonkrqQahFuQ3i30Qk916Cj-mjA0kk7CRNGMltdoVEgR1eOp-XEGsqStcvZi9iJnBQbInNkQbXEIiMdF-~TVMgxIDpXkfpobirOqpxCmXQj-6UDGWEabZIOyGXS5vVOyZh8mPVtlFL5pNW6OxT4lEyF9sPOEklBYPmEfH-P~idEl0pQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community and Business Relations Committee voted 2-1 to direct staff to proceed with the modified 2024 July 4 parade route for the village’s 2025 celebration.

The committee’s recommendation followed staff briefing on safety plans and cost comparisons and more than an hour of trustee discussion about inclusion, safety and expense. Assistant Village Manager Anderson presented two security/traffic-control scenarios and the associated costs.

Anderson said the scenario that kept Jersey barriers in place was “gonna be $39,355,” and that a modular vehicle-barrier rental option would carry a $34,000 rental cost; Anderson also said “in either scenario, we would still need additional class 3 barricades as well as roll up signage, and digital message board rental and private armed security if we went back to the original route.” Anderson added that the modular-barrier option produced “a new total taking out Jersey barriers [of] 60,155,” as shown in the memo distributed to the committee.

Trustees split along two main lines. One trustee argued repeatedly that the historic route brings events deeper into the village’s south side and fosters inclusion, saying the parade is “the only thing that that goes to the south of the village” and that sometimes local government must make difficult choices to ensure equitable access. Another trustee said staff and department heads had advised modifying the route for safety, capacity and cost reasons and said he preferred keeping the 2024 route “in the interest of safety and saving around $40,000.”

Resident Jennifer Cooney Vulpes, who identified herself at the microphone as living on North Alpine Avenue, urged the board to restore the traditional route. “I really love the traditional route. I feel like this parade goes through the whole town,” she said, and asked the board to “please, in 2027, go back to the original route” if the committee’s recommendation stands for 2025.

Committee members discussed whether the committee’s action was a recommendation to the full village board or a standalone committee-level direction to staff; the chair clarified the group had been asked to provide a recommendation and adjusted the meeting language accordingly before the vote.

The motion to direct staff to proceed with the modified 2024 parade route was made, seconded, and passed on a 2-to-1 voice vote. The committee did not adopt a separate motion to place a final decision on the full village board agenda that evening.

The committee’s action directs staff to implement the modified 2024 route and associated activities for July 4 and to proceed with required rentals, barricades and security under the scenario the committee endorsed. The record shows competing trustee concerns about community inclusion and safety as the primary issues underlying the decision.

The committee meeting record does not specify a final funding source for any additional costs beyond the line items in the staff memo; trustees noted the city had received public emails both urging a return to the historic route and urging fiscal restraint.

The committee closed the agenda item after the vote. The matter may be reviewed or acted on further by the full village board if the board schedules it for a future meeting.","After debate over safety, cost and community inclusion, the Community and Business Relations Committee voted 2-1 to direct staff to proceed with the modified 2024 parade route for the July 4 event and related activities.","actionData","errors"]
