The Pewaukee Common Council on a routine agenda vote postponed two public hearings to March 3 at 6:30 p.m., approved a 2025 residential payment cap, adopted a weight-restriction ordinance for a residential subdivision, declared an emergency for repairs to Well No. 1 and approved accounts payable.
The council first voted to postpone two public hearings at the petitioner’s request, rescheduling both for March 3 at 6:30 p.m. The motion passed by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.
On a separate item the council approved establishing the 2025 residential payment cap, an adjustment that raised the payment cap to $3,329. The council recorded the motion and a vote; a council member stated “All in favor? Aye. Vote. 6,” indicating six affirmative votes on that item.
The council considered and approved an ordinance amending Chapter 5 to add weight restrictions for the subdivision streets and Green Road (listed in the agenda as Track Road, Highfields Road and Hunters Ridge Road, Section 5.05(3)(b)). Councilmembers voted to waive the second reading and adopt the ordinance so signs and enforcement could be put in place.
On the utilities side, councilmembers adopted Resolution 25-02-02, an emergency declaration to repair Well No. 1 (pump and motor). Staff said the well had reduced capacity beginning in December and the well was shut off “for fear that the well pump itself is gonna come loose and fall into the well,” creating a larger problem if not repaired. The emergency declaration allows the city to contract directly with a specialist vendor to expedite the repair.
The council also moved to approve accounts payable as presented and then voted, by voice, to go into a closed session to discuss negotiating matters including the Pewaukee Library lease and a purchase offer from Trinity Academy for property at W225 N3201 Duplantville Road. A roll call was taken for the motion to enter closed session; councilmembers announced their presence and the body moved into closed session.
Where the transcript did not record individual roll-call tallies for every motion, the minutes record motions, seconds and voice approvals. The transcript shows explicit vote counts only where noted above; other approvals were recorded as unanimous voice votes or “all in favor.”
