Several motions were moved and seconded from the floor without roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript for individual member votes except where abstentions were noted. Discussion around land-use items included neighbors' concerns over fencing and sidewalks for the proposed Waunakee Senior Living PUD and fire-access and slope constraints for the Legacy Acres preliminary plat; trustees generally indicated those concerns would be reviewed as part of later site-implementation or plan-commission steps.

The board also voted to convene in closed session to negotiate terms on a development agreement for the Hay Day project and to conduct an administrative review in closed session under Wisconsin open-meeting statutes.

The meeting record shows that staff will provide follow-up to residents directly affected by the brownfield site and that several items will return to future meetings for additional review or final action.
