Rothschild board approves resolutions to vacate portions of Peggy Lane and Becker Street

The Village of Rothschild board unanimously approved two resolutions on March 24, 2025, to discontinue portions of public ways: Resolution 2025‑02 affecting Peggy Lane (originally Hazel Street) and Resolution 2025‑03 affecting Becker Street.

Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle explained that Resolution 2025‑02 had been discussed at prior meetings (Oct. 14, 2024 and Dec. 9, 2024) and was revised to address the Village Attorney’s comments. VanDeWalle noted the historical context: the 2011 Pflieger Street reconstruction reconfigured the Becker, Peggy and Schmidt intersection and the Village undertook a 2018 effort to clean up unused right‑of‑way at the intersection.

Trustee Dan Mortensen moved and Trustee Sam Stroik seconded approval of Resolution 2025‑02; the board recorded the motion as carried 7‑0. For Resolution 2025‑03, VanDeWalle said the updated resolution met county standards and otherwise reflected no substantive changes since the prior year; Trustee Bill Schremp moved and Trustee Deb Ehster seconded the motion, which also carried 7‑0.

The minutes do not list affected parcel numbers, property owners, or the specific legal descriptions vacated; they state only that the resolutions were approved and that the village attorney requested updated resolution language to conform to county requirements. The minutes do not record any public comment on these items.

By approving the resolutions, the board moved forward with the formal discontinuance process as documented in the minutes; subsequent administrative steps (recording, notification to affected parties, and any required county filings) are not specified in the minutes.
