# Board of Education Meeting: 9.8.26

Elmbrook Schools Board of Education meeting (September 8, 2026; the meeting title gives 9.8.26, while the metadata timestamp is September 9) included two procurement- and development-related tax incremental district (TID) items. The board voted 4–3 to direct Cheryl Mills to vote in favor of creating TID 10 for a Brookfield redevelopment project, and unanimously directed her to support an amendment to TID 9 for the former Boston Store site at Brookfield Square. The TID 9 amendment requests an additional $1,875,000, bringing the stated project package to $6,387,165; the project includes a medical office building, retail, and a Brookfield Public Market, with projected assessed value of $73 million and estimated annual incremental taxes of $737,000. The amendment does not extend the TID term. Visit Brookfield selected Meijer and Construction as general contractor for the public market, with construction targeted to begin in 2027. Board members discussed project costs, infrastructure and site improvements, taxpayer impacts, and the differing justification for the two TIDs.

The district also discussed a proposed short-term line of credit to address a seasonal cash-flow gap. Two proposals were received, and the Finance and Operations Committee recommended Town Bank’s proposal for a $5 million line of credit; this was a discussion item, with action expected at the next meeting. The superintendent reported $6 million in capital investment completed for the school-year opening, but no related procurement vote was described. The board approved $10,006.70 in district gifts and approved submitting a WASB resolution concerning privacy of student, employee, and parent contact information; neither item involved a contract award.
