Lannon board approves multiple infrastructure contracts and project steps, authorizes manhole repair
Summary
Trustees approved contract and payment items including a revised assessor services agreement, Waukesha County tax‑billing contract, Pay Application #2 for Whispering Ridge & SCADA upgrades, authorized up to $35,000 for an interceptor manhole repair, adopted a WisDOT grant resolution for pedestrian paths, and moved forward with an RFP for Good Hope Road.
The Village Board approved several contracts and project actions covering municipal finance, utilities and roadwork.
Assessor services: Attorney de la Mora summarized proposed changes to the Catalis revaluation contract; the board approved the services agreement subject to legal review and specified modifications to contract language and clarification of the 45‑day modification window and the scope of the 2027 market update.
Tax billing: Trustees Grennier and Lake moved to accept the contract with Waukesha County for property tax assessment and billing; the motion carried unanimously.
Whispering Ridge and SCADA upgrades: Engineer Ben Wood summarized the project and told trustees the SCADA improvements will permit remote diagnostics, saying: “They will be able to remote in and know what the issue is without coming out.” Trustees Battist and Sommers moved to approve Pay Application #2 for the project; the motion carried unanimously.
Sewer manhole repair: Ben Wood described a needed manhole repair on the Lannon interceptor. Trustees Lake and Willard moved to authorize Trustee Battist and President Yates to execute quotes for the repair not to exceed $35,000; the motion carried unanimously.
Bonnie Lane: Trustee Battist again raised the long‑standing concern about Bonnie Lane. A motion to authorize Strand to perform survey/study work not to exceed $12,000 received no second; the board then voted to table the item until the next meeting.
Pedestrian paths and WisDOT grant: President Yates summarized a steering committee that identified five priority pedestrian projects. Trustees Lake and Battist moved to adopt a resolution to apply for WisDOT grant funding (80% grant / 20% TID match) for specified routes; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes note potential 4–5 year timeline if funded and that some projects are TID‑eligible.
Good Hope Road: The board instructed staff to issue an RFP for Good Hope Road reconstruction, appointed Strand to work with staff on the RFP, and designated staff (Patrick, Dan and Jim) to review proposals, with the goal of acting on bids at the November meeting or a special meeting.
Other routine actions: Trustees approved operator licenses for two applicants, accepted the 2024 financial reports presented by Wendi Unger of Baker Tilly (no audit surprises), and approved payment of bills; the minutes record these motions as carried unanimously.
