Consider contracting with RE3 Legal, LLC and Pruitt, Ekes & Geary for prosecuting attorney services Administrator Suhm reviewed the proposal of contracting with RE3 Legal, LLC for prosecuting attorney services and Pruitt, Ekes & Geary to provide prosecuting attorney services associated with any circuit court matters and as a backup if any unforeseen circumstances occur.

Motion carried. 2. Discussion and possible direction to staff regarding TID 5 boundary changes Administrator Suhm summarized the submission of TID 5 to the Wisconsin DOR, which raised concerns about including the Village Square GAP parcel for contiguity. As GAP parcels are not permitted, staff removed both the Village Square and adjacent south parcel (ROP 00105) to prevent disapproval under time constraints. An amendment could later add these parcels if appropriate identifiers are obtained or by including parcels east of the square. Due to amendment costs and uncertain development, the Board decided to defer changes until development occurs or another amendment is needed. 3. Consider additions and upgrades to security camera system Chief Swendrowski reviewed his recommendations to add access points to the recreation area in the municipal building and the Mitchell Park restrooms, cameras at Mitchell Park, and replacing the panic alarm system utilizing Complex Security Solutions.  EAST TROY VILLAGE BOARD MINUTES March 16, 2026 Page 2 of 3 Motion by Trustee Nugent, seconded by Trustee Seager, to approve the quotes from Complex Security Solutions to replace the panic alarm system for the municipal building, access points for recreation room, access points for bathroom at Mitchell Park, and cameras at Mitchell Park for a total of $19,298.77 with a transfer of $3,000 from the Squad and Set-up Fund to the Replace/Upgrade Security System Fund.
