City staff told the Muskego Public Works and Safety Committee on July 21 that the 2025 road program is under way in the city’s southeast quadrant and that the city’s Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District (MMSD) PPI projects for 2024–25 have been completed subject to a small restoration holdback.

The road program is currently working in Weatherwood Circle and Priory (Priory) Meadows cul-de-sacs, staff said, and a schedule and contractor map are posted on the city’s projects webpage. Staff warned that library parking will be reduced while work proceeds and said weather could require schedule adjustments. City staff said a fuller status report will be provided in the near future and that a longer discussion on the road program was planned for the finance/common council meeting the next day.

Public Works staff reported the MMSD-funded PPI construction and restoration work is complete; the city is holding back a small portion of restoration money to monitor grass establishment and settle soil and will revisit any locations needing additional topsoil in August. Staff explained MMSD funds are drawn from sewer fees the city remits; unused funds can be reallocated to other municipalities by MMSD if not used.

The police chief gave an update on department activities and staffing. The department’s Citizens Academy Alumni Association recently held a picnic and pig roast and raised more than $10,000 in a spring raffle; proceeds support department needs and officer programs. Upcoming events include the Tunnels to Towers 5K at Veterans Park on Aug. 2, a canine-program fundraiser 5K on Aug. 3, and National Night Out on Aug. 13. The chief said the department has been short three officers most of the year, expects two recruits to start the academy next week and two additional recruits to begin on Aug. 18 pending clearances; recruits will be in academy training through December and in field training until about May of the following year.

Committee members asked clarifying questions and were told staff will provide further detail on scheduling, project maps and the comprehensive road program report at upcoming meetings.
