ADJOURN
*As permitted by the Wisconsin open meetings law, the Village Board has chosen to list a public
comment period on Board meeting agendas to afford an opportunity for valued public comments.
This is specifically listed on the agenda as PUBLIC COMMENT. The Village Board may not
engage in back-and-forth discussion or take formal action during this period. The Board may
consider deferring the subject to a later meeting when specific notice can be given. Note: In
general, Wisconsin law grants citizens the right to attend and observe open session meetings of
the Village Board, but does not require allowing the public to speak or actively participate. The
Village Board may determine if citizen participation will be allowed and to what extent.
State statute and/or Village Code requires the Village Board to hold PUBLIC HEARINGS on
certain specified matters where the public can comment on the particular subject. The meeting
chairperson will identify rules for providing comments. Other items on the agenda which are not
listed for public hearing do not require the Board to allow public comment, however the meeting
chairperson can at his/her own discretion allow limited public comments.
Any person who has a qualifying disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities
Act that requires the meeting or materials at the meeting to be in an accessible location or
format should contact the municipal clerk at (608) 850-8500, 500 West Main Street,
Waunakee, Wisconsin, at least twenty-four hours prior to the commencement of the
meeting so that any necessary arrangements can be made to accommodate each request.
Next scheduled meeting is July 6, 2021 6:00 PM.
