Citizen Participation

Village Board meeting. She stated she was accused of lying by the Village President at the last
Village Board meeting regarding a statement she referenced that he had made at the May 16
meeting, which was he was busy with County items and therefore did not have time to review
Village information that was provided to him. She stated she brought this up because it was a
false accusation and was printed in the newspaper. She proceed to play a portion of the
recording from the May 16 meeting. She stated she would like an apology by the Village
President and a correction printed in the paper. She stated respectful disagreements on a
board are normal and respected. She concluded with a quote stating “We should never all
agree on everything and in a perfect world we would all be comfortable disagreeing.”
William Joas, introduced himself as a prior owner of a business in the Village of East Troy. He
stated he came to East Troy 47 years ago as an entrepreneur and bought an existing business.
At that time every building in this community was active and he expressed concern that he now
observes buildings shut down. He owned prior businesses in East Troy, but his final business
was turned over to his son and will be operating in the Village of East Troy 30 years as of August
15. He went on to explain he is a member of United Methodist Church and they conducted a
survey of the community, which took five years to complete, and he wanted to share it with the
Board. He found one statement very interesting and that was the data attempted to capture
people’s beliefs and values, providing insight into motivations of the people. He asked Trustee
Zess to see that the School Board receives a copy of the study. He concluded by stating he feels
the information will be valuable for the development of the community.

department patch

Motion by President Timms, second by Trustee Renucci to approve Resolution 2016-06.
Motion carried.
Ben Keating was presented with the resolution by President Timms and Administrator

thanking him for his work.
2. Consideration of contracting with Lynch & Associates to update standard specifications
related to road and utility construction
DPW Miller stated it has been nine years since the standards and specifications have been
updated. He explained it is in the 2016 budget for this year. Sara Nunn, Lynch &
Associates, stated they would anticipate having the standards updated in the next two
months.
President Timms questioned if it would be appropriate for this document to have
language that defines a responsible bidder. Ms. Nunn explained the front of the
document does incorporate bidding information and they could work with the Village
Attorney to ensure language is added the Village feels is appropriate. He also questioned
if the document could make reference to a draft developer’s agreement or something of
that nature. Ms. Nunn explained this document will address requirements that
specifically apply to developers. She explained with this if there is something required of
the developer, their engineer will be able to review the requirements up front and
calculate costs.
Trustee Renucci questioned if the specifications will be brought back to the Board prior
to being finalized. DPW Miller confirmed the Board will review them for approval.
Trustee Johnson questioned what the standard time period is for updating the
specifications. DPW Miller and Ms. Nunn agreed that 10 years was pretty standard. Ms.
Nunn also explained as part of the process the standards will be restructured in a manner
that makes it easy to update a specific section if there is a code change. She explained
the current manner in which they are structured does not make it easy to update the
specifications.
