City of Muskego, Public Works & Safety Committee - 9/21/26

The City of Muskego Public Works & Safety Committee met on September 21, 2026, to discuss several infrastructure and policy matters. Key procurement-related topics included updates on road projects, specifically potential work on Kelsey Drive and Fedmore Court pending available funds, and coordination with Waukesha County on mill and overlay projects for Rine Avenue and Jainsville Road. The committee discussed plans to minimize business disruption through night work and traffic management during these projects. Additionally, the committee reviewed the business wreck charge survey results, identifying businesses, primarily car washes, subject to additional charges based on usage. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the City of Muskego water connection policy, debating the merits of mandatory connections, potential assessments, and enforcement mechanisms. The committee considered extending the connection compliance timeframe to five years and emphasized codifying the policy into ordinance form with penalties to ensure compliance. The discussions highlighted the financial and operational implications of water utility management and infrastructure maintenance. Motions were passed to advance the electric bicycle and scooter ordinance to the common council for further input and approval.
