Muskego Common Council adopts amended public-waters and beaches ordinance
Summary
On July 14, 2026, the Muskego Common Council approved Ordinance 15 10 (second reading) amending municipal code provisions on public waters and beaches and adopted a clerical amendment replacing references to "city council" with "common council."
The Muskego Common Council on July 14, 2026, adopted Ordinance 15 10, amending chapter 278 (sections 278-3, 278-4 and 278-6) of the municipal code concerning public waters and beaches. The ordinance was on its second reading and passed after a procedural amendment.
City attorney (speaking during second reading) pointed out several places in the draft ordinance that referred to "city council" and said she would change those references to "common council." The presiding officer asked for and received a motion to amend the ordinance to reflect that change; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The council then voted on the ordinance as amended by voice and the presiding officer announced that it passed.
The amendment was described on the record as a textual/terminology correction to ensure the municipal code consistently refers to the governing body as the "common council." The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or an effective date for the ordinance.
No substantive policy changes, penalties, or enforcement dates were specified during the discussion at the July 14 meeting. The city attorney said the wording changes were prepared with assistance from a legal intern and would be incorporated into the final text before publication.
