Main Street, Waunakee, Wisconsin for the current agenda. ***Special Notice Regarding Pandemic Health Concerns*** The Board meetings have returned to pre-pandemic arrangements. The Board Chambers at Village Hall can accommodate about 50 public attendees without social distancing accommodations. Face coverings are not required, however all are respected who chose to wear a face covering for their own personal reasons. The meeting room technology is not currently sufficient to allow for simultaneous virtual and in-person participation. Anyone wishing to participate during the “Public Comment” or “Public Hearing” items, but uncomfortable about attending in-person for any reason, is advised to contact Deputy Administrator/Village Clerk Caitlin Stene (cstene@waunakee.com or (608)850-2827) in advance of the meeting to supply a written statement to be read aloud. Note that time limits for public comments also apply to the reading of written statements. Also, systems are not yet in place to provide a quality live- streamed online meeting feed. The meeting will be video recorded and posted on a later date to the Village’s YouTube and Facebook pages.

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 September 7, 2021 6:00 PM.
