Village Board approves consent agenda, Verizon conduit lease and We Energies easement; moves to closed session
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved a consent agenda including $7.12 million in bills, authorized a $15,000 conduit-use lease with Verizon Wireless, approved a utility easement for We Energies related to Menomonee Avenue reconstruction, and voted to convene into closed session for a manager performance review.
The Village Board of Menomonee Falls on Monday approved a consent agenda that included bill payments totaling $7,124,027.25 and the minutes from multiple 2024 meetings, then unanimously approved two committee items and voted to go into closed session to complete a performance review for the village manager.
Trustee Stewart moved approval of the consent agenda, which the board adopted unanimously. Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald presented the bills as listed and noted the clerk had cleared multiple minutes for approval.
During the Utilities and Public Works Committee portion of the meeting, Trustee Katie Kress moved to approve a first amendment to a lease agreement allowing Verizon Wireless to use the village's fiber conduit pathway from the US Cellular tower around Village Hall to Pilgrim Road to install fiber. The draft amendment grants Verizon a one-time payment of $15,000 for use of the conduit for the duration of the lease. The motion passed unanimously.
Trustee Kress also moved approval of a We Energies utility easement over village-owned land (tax key number 36.999) so We Energies can relocate facilities outside the proposed roadway reconstruction right of way. The board approved the easement unanimously.
Later, a trustee moved to convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes 19.85(1)(c) with the village manager and village attorney for the purpose of a performance review and goal setting for the village manager; the motion carried and the board entered closed session.
All votes recorded during these items were unanimous; no dissenting votes were recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
