Minutes and vouchers
The board approved minutes from the July 28 Capital Improvement Program meeting and from the July 28 village board meeting. One trustee recorded an abstention on the CIP minutes; the abstaining member was noted in the meeting but not identified in the public audio record provided.

The board approved vouchers for payment in the amount of $700,140.47. During discussion a trustee asked about a new speed sign listed in the vouchers and whether the village received a grant for it. Village staff said the sign vendor is TrafficLogix and the cost will be reimbursed under a grant from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities; under village accounting the revenue and the expense both appear on the books. A separate line-item showed RZ Heating & Cooling charges of $7,480 for a new air conditioner at the community center.

Special events
The board approved four separate special event applications:
- Pumpkin Party in the Park on Oct. 11, 2025 (special-event permit approved).
- Arrowhead High School Homecoming Parade on Oct. 10, 2025 (permit approved).
- Back to School Bash by the Hartland Lakeside Education Foundation on Sept. 12, 2025 (permit approved; condition to relocate food trucks to the designated area).
- Fall in Line 125 run by Titus Running in September (permit approved for a point‑to‑point aid station in Centennial Park; organizers said they will vacate the site by about 2:00 a.m.).

Each of the event motions was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.

Other meeting notes
Trustees asked staff about several recurring contracts listed in the vouchers, including the mats services contract that expires in 2026. Trustees also discussed future contract review and the timing for sending public notices for road closures and event details; staff said postcards will be mailed to residents near parade routes.

A village public works speaker reported the recorded rainfall at 11.91 inches and described widespread calls for water in basements and multiple responses by police, fire and DPW staff. The speaker said the Arlene Lift Station experienced a heavy inflow and infiltration (I&I) load — “I and I is inflow and infiltration” — adding that the village’s televising and maintenance work helped avoid a sanitary sewer overflow. He said crews worked around the clock and that more localized areas without storm sewer, notably the Hill Hilliard Farm subdivision, suffered the worst damage; addressing that area’s stormwater would require a major collection system and likely be done in conjunction with a future paving project.

Public works staff also reported a basement collapse in Hilger Farms (no injuries), a fallen tree that hit a well house, and multiple water‑related calls that stretched response teams. Staff praised recent stormwater engineering in new subdivisions and noted that a quarry retention pond performed as designed, absorbing and storing substantial runoff.

The fire department and police urged residents to avoid the river and standing water. The board reiterated that residents should not kayak or walk through fast river water and highlighted nearby rescue calls in neighboring communities.

Village officials said cleanup continues, including removal of fallen trees along the river path. The board also noted that work to address systemic stormwater vulnerabilities in older subdivisions will require larger projects and funding decisions in future capital planning.","Village staff said 11.91 inches of rain hit Hartland in the last two days, causing basement collapses, high inflow-and-infiltration at Arlene Lift Station and tree and wellhouse damage; the village reported no sanitary sewer overflow and described cleanup and future stormwater work.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503430,"Residents press Village of Hartland on Hartbrook Park site as bank signals willingness to negotiate",2270,655000,2925000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5561731-b8c3eece0254115029e516f73f414671&start=655&end=2925","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5561731-b8c3eece0254115029e516f73f414671/thumbnail_655000.jpg","/articles/6503430/Wisconsin/Residents-press-Village-of-Hartland-on-Hartbrook-Park-site-as-bank-signals-willingness-to-negotiate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503430-05d4f46c48b35fcabf10d47125d2a110/orig.mp4?Expires=1773682855&Signature=Eaw0JQCs0vsJcz5wdzN79fQ3h~fbRPIl~HxaqQEsBYq8Bgu8jdbKNSvg4rrBBXQtXObAf1ZYHAY3iziX7dFKBbFADxlhtDd-D2HBw8YqOzXwS5x0y2b5ZlR8oJQyTZieOoo1QG12UlLOef2lCd4A91qbI9xvly0KfYdSiOxroRAwlneil3lwv6AcT4vH~WuqkzeiIntGO97f1uSLCCEjhsWzivNytwSS3IpDIWpunojbeaPn1Lw9xmkZKa9RZWNVq3EyOZyalshwgrYO6TyAod9meOlyJyK8v-R48ozaNOvavM6Yb5mlqrhFQzqzU5v2TBBAjHRVZwgZv71dAoFeRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Waukesha State Bank representative told the Village of Hartland board during public comment that the bank is willing to negotiate the sale of a roughly 3-acre parcel at 550 Hartbrook Drive and would “respect the process of eminent domain” if the village decides the site is the best location for a new police station.

Keith Vandellarschott, speaking on behalf of Waukesha State Bank, said, “if the bank receives fair and reasonable compensation, then the bank is prepared to respect the process of eminent domain, and we won't take any steps to unduly delay or postpone the process.”

Residents who spoke raised concerns about locating a municipal building on Hartbrook Park, citing recent heavy rainfall and long-term planning documents. Lori, a resident of 615 Ray Drive, asked whether eminent domain proceedings have begun and whether previously reported cost figures for proposed police, fire and village hall projects would increase taxpayers’ share; she said she had not yet received answers. Karen Wardby of 602 Rivermeadow said the park absorbs stormwater and warned that building on it could worsen flooding. Wardby said she has collected petition signatures from nearby senior housing—“I have over 50 petition signatures” from one building and “another 45” from a second—and urged trustees not to rush a decision.

Village officials said they are scheduling information sessions and are open to meeting individually with residents to answer questions. Village President Banter said two upcoming information sessions on consecutive Wednesdays will present the options under consideration and that the board would not proceed if legal or grant restrictions prevented use of a site. He said the board’s attorney advised that a resolution of necessity and an appraisal are standard steps before pursuing acquisition.

The board’s discussion and public comments repeatedly drew attention to three topics: flood risk at Hartbrook Park after recent heavy rain; whether prior grant money tied to park improvements would need to be repaid if the park were repurposed; and whether selecting the park would set a precedent for future park use. Residents and trustees urged clarity on those points before any formal action. The village’s stated next steps are information sessions and continued review; a resolution of necessity is being drafted, and an appraisal would follow if the board pursues acquisition.

No formal motion or vote to purchase or to initiate eminent domain was taken at the meeting.","Public commenters raised flooding, grant restrictions and precedent concerns after the board identified a parcel at 550 Hartbrook Drive as a potential police station site; a Waukesha State Bank representative said the bank would negotiate and would not unduly delay eminent domain if the village proceeds.","actionData","errors"]
