The Waukesha Water Commission convened on September 18, 2025, to address critical legal matters and operational updates. The meeting began promptly at 6:01 PM, with a quorum confirmed despite the absence of two commissioners.
A significant highlight was the announcement of a closed session to discuss legal strategies regarding a pending circuit court case, Faber LLC v. Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. This session was crucial for the commission to receive legal counsel on the matter, reflecting the ongoing complexities in utility management and regulatory compliance.
After deliberating in closed session, the commission returned to open session and unanimously approved a motion to execute a settlement agreement related to the case. Commissioner Frank Coeur expressed gratitude towards the staff and legal team for their efforts, acknowledging the lengthy process involved in reaching this point.
The meeting also included the approval of minutes from previous sessions and discussions on financial matters, including payments from the general and improvement funds. The commission's actions indicate a proactive approach to resolving legal challenges while maintaining transparency and accountability in their operations.
