Pleasant Prairie administrator says state limits on cell towers; board to rework garbage and recycling bid review
Summary
Village Administrator Eric told the board state law constrains local authority over cell‑phone tower siting, and the board directed staff to re-evaluate garbage and recycling contract bids and the whole solid-waste program with a report expected in April.
Village Administrator Eric updated trustees on two administrative matters, telling the board that state statute constrains local power over cell‑phone tower approvals and that staff will continue to explore permissible, village‑funded options to influence outcomes. "Ultimately, the end result would likely still be that we don't have any final control over that cell phone tower," Eric said.
Eric also reported the board has directed staff to rehash the financial comparisons for submitted garbage and recycling bids and to consider the entire solid‑waste program (including the residential recycling center and yard‑waste operations). He said staff expects to return to the board with a comparative plan in April that will show "apples to apples" pricing and a full accounting of program costs.
