Germantown approves Green Bay Packaging water-main acceptance; TID to bill Richfield for reimbursement
Summary
The village board accepted water-main improvements for Green Bay Packaging (cost cited at $153,783.92), with staff confirming the TID will initially pay and Richfield will reimburse; trustees requested a follow-up to verify reimbursement accounting.
The Germantown Village Board approved acceptance of a water-main extension related to Green Bay Packaging at Holy Hill Road and discussed the billing arrangement with the neighboring Village of Richfield.
Trustee Jessie Miller reported the billed amount for the extension as $153,783.92 and asked for follow-up to confirm that Richfield will reimburse Germantown for the expense per the intergovernmental agreement. Village staff (Tim) told trustees the developer agreement is technically between Germantown and the developer, so the TID will pay the bill initially and then Richfield will reimburse the TID; staff confirmed there were no outstanding reimbursable bills at the time of the meeting.
The board voted by roll call to accept the improvements. Roll-call names were read and the chair announced the motion carries; Trustee Peeper recorded a "no" vote while the remaining recorded trustees voted in favor.
Why it matters: The vote finalizes acceptance of infrastructure work and starts the reimbursement process from another municipal partner (Richfield), which trustees requested be tracked to ensure accurate accounting.
Next steps: Trustees asked staff to provide a follow-up showing the timing and accounting entries for the Richfield reimbursement and to confirm the precise line items used for billing and reimbursement.
