Board approves sewer CMAR, street reconstruction assessments and PFAS loan amendment; defers Bellwood water main
Summary
Trustees approved the 2025 CMAR submission, multiple special-assessment resolutions for street projects, a DNR loan amendment increasing principal forgiveness for PFAS treatment, awarded the topsoil-screening contract, and deferred the Bellwood water main replacement after receiving no bids.
The village board advanced several infrastructure and procurement items during the meeting, approving state-required submittals and project actions and taking one procurement item back to staff for rework.
Trustees approved Resolution 2026-016 to file the 2025 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for the Weston sewer utility with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and authorized special-assessment resolutions for the Plato/Pine/Alderson reconstruction and the Alderson/Gelnik intersection project (Resolution 2026-017 and Resolution 2026-018). The board discussed differences in per-square-foot bid prices between projects and acknowledged these reflect project scale and mobilization costs.
On a separate procurement item trustees awarded the 2026 topsoil screening contract at a unit price of $550 per cubic yard for an estimated $38,500 total and approved Shirley Avenue paving and a contract amendment with MSA for Alderson/Gelnik right-of-way services and an associated change order.
On a water-quality capital item, trustees approved an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water loan/financial assistance agreement with the Wisconsin DNR for the Well No. 4 PFAS treatment project. State staff adjusted eligible project costs to exclude $263,448 they attributed to expected class-action settlement proceeds, but increased the principal forgiveness portion so that the village’s principal forgiveness rose to about $1.79 million under the revised terms.
The Bellwood Avenue water‑main replacement project received zero bids; staff reported the timeline was too tight because neighboring Rothschild is repaving and the board deferred the project to coordinate timing and avoid paying twice for road restoration. Trustees asked staff to reissue or reschedule the project for a later date when better contractor availability is expected.
