Residents urge Pleasant Prairie to enforce noxious‑weed code and seek oversight of administrator

At the start of public comment two residents from the 84th Street block urged the Village Board to enforce the village's noxious‑weed ordinance and to provide oversight of village staff.

Deborah Pritjic (stated address 4816 84th Street) read a prepared letter accusing the village administrator of suggesting the pair had drawn the village into a neighborhood feud and asked trustees to exercise oversight and enforce the noxious‑weed ordinance without prejudice. She said a noxious‑weed complaint she filed on June 30, 2025, had not been properly addressed and that she and her husband have followed police guidance and posted no‑trespassing signs but that neighbors retaliated by covering signs.

John Fidget (same address) said he had been a Pleasant Prairie resident for almost 40 years and accused public works staff and the village administrator of nonresponsiveness and unprofessional conduct when he inquired about a weed complaint. He said he had attempted the chain of command, received no written response to questions sent on July 13, and that he was preparing information to reveal within two weeks that he said would be embarrassing to the village if matters were not resolved.

Village Administrator Eric Rheinflesh responded briefly, acknowledging residents' right to petition government and saying his previous comments “will stand” in light of what he described as blackmail threats; he declined to expand on the matter during the meeting.

The comments were made during the public‑comment period; trustees did not take action during the meeting but the speakers requested written responses and oversight.
