Committee raises water-bill clarity, 911 capabilities and annexation preferences
Summary
Members pressed staff to clarify water bill breakdowns, asked whether 911 can flag disabled callers (staff said WesCom already has that capacity), and the mayor said the village favors a mix of retail and residential for future annexations.
During Members' Open Discussion, committee members said the village website's explanation of water bill line items is confusing; staff agreed to update the website to make bill components clearer to residents. A member asked whether Shorewood's 911 system can mark callers as disabled or incapacitated; staff replied that WesCom, which handles Shorewood's 911 calls, already has that functionality and can pass such notifications to responders.
On annexation strategy, a member asked whether the village prefers residential or retail; Mayor CC Debold said the board is interested in a mixture of retail and residential for future annexations. The committee also discussed the upcoming America 250 celebration and asked residents to share historic photos and memorabilia for the village's planned commemoration.
