Waunakee, WI, 53597.

hands are raised. Those wishing to provide oral comments remotely must have their full name displayed

those who reside, own or lease property in the Village of Waunakee. Anonymous comments will not be
allowed.
*As permitted by the Wisconsin open meetings law and while not required, the Village Board has chosen to allow
public comments during their meetings. This is specifically listed on the agenda as PUBLIC COMMENT. The
Village Board may not engage in discussion or take action during this period but may consider deferring the subject
to a later meeting with notice. State statute and/or Village Code require the Village Board to hold PUBLIC
HEARINGS on certain specified matters where the public can comment. 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 their own discretion allow limited public
comments.
Land Acknowledgment: The Village of Waunakee acknowledges that the land we occupy is Teejop, ancestral
territory of the Hoocąkra (Ho-Chunk Nation), People of the Sacred Voice. Hoocąkra are stewards of these lands
and waters since time immemorial. Settlers attempted to forcibly remove them from their homelands by exploiting a
series of land cessions and treaties, including the Treaty of 1832. However, the Hoocąkra resisted these conquests
and asserted their sovereignty as a nation. We address this trend of dispossession by upholding Hoocąk woošgąra
(way of life), sovereignty, culture, language, and environmental practices. Acknowledging these atrocities is only the
first step towards reconciliation. Through relationship building, education, and action, the Village will advocate for
a shared future with the Hoocąkra Nation.
Any person who needs an interpreter or 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 Village Clerk at (608) 850-8500 or kendres@waunakee.com at least forty-eight (48) hours
prior to the commencement of the meeting. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate requests.
Next scheduled meeting is August 21, 2023 6:00 PM.
