Discussion and/or action on Claim of Crane Meadows Golf Course, Date of Loss 7/8/2024 (Claim #WM000371920085) (on recording https://youtu.be/J9zP_mEExEY?t=1744) Gebert explained that the claim was for lost revenue due to the flooding on Hole 9 at the golf course. Wodalski explained that the area in question historically has water issues and was increased with the excess rain events that occurred in 2024. He explained the modifications that were made by the Village at the time of the flooding to assist with the excess water that was occurring on Hole 9. Since the change was made, there had been no other issues during the summer. The Village will continue to work with the golf course if additional issues arise. Pinsonneault reinstated that this had previously come to the Board and the Board moved to provide the claim to the insurance company. Mr. Weilep stated that his concern was that with the new retention pond, the ground in between is sharing the water table and as that pond holds water, it artificially raises the ground water and makes his property quick to flood. Mr. Weilep stated that the golf course does have water problems historically, but this is a new water problem on Hole 9. He stated that there have been recommendations to him from other sources that the pond have liners and was told that a liner may help and discussed this with Wodalski. Mr. Weilep stated he feels comfortable that the Village will work with him on these water issues, but he does not want new water issues and feels the loss of revenue was greater due to the new water issues along with the extra costs for pumps and to pay staff for extra hours to try to remedy the issue. He stated that he would settle for 50 percent of the costs and loss of revenue but feels that if the Village is not responsible because of the indemnity, then there could be another individual who would be responsible such as the general contractor. Cronin questioned if the Village were BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING MINUTES 02/17/2025 Prepared by: Pamela Brehm, Village Clerk  VILLAGE OF WESTON, WISCONSIN OFFICIAL MEETING MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES to assist Weilep with costs and revenue loss, where would the source of the money come from. Gebert stated that the Board would have to make the decision of where the money would come from, which account to take it from. Cronin asked Weilep if he would be interested in the Village helping to build up Hole 9 by having staff haul in dirt and provide Village services to help remedy the issue. Weilep stated that it would not work because we would just be moving water plus, he would lose revenue while that rework would be done. Jordan felt that all options were not exhausted and questioned Wodalski on the drainage understanding what happens at each rain event. Wodalski stated that the area is sand with a high ground water table and to provide a fix in one area such as a liner in the stormwater pond may just move the water elsewhere and cause a new issue. Motion by Cronin, second by Jordan to disallow the claim of Crane Meadows Golf Course, date of loss of 7/8/2024 (Claim #WM000371920085).

Trautman explained that there was a transposition error, and the statute does not allow a refund if the alleged error was solely based on the assessor placing a BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING MINUTES 02/17/2025 Prepared by: Pamela Brehm, Village Clerk  VILLAGE OF WESTON, WISCONSIN OFFICIAL MEETING MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES valuation on the property that is excessive. Trautman also further explained that when Open Book dates are set, that is the time to come and discuss your assessment if you disagree. She expressed to the Board to review Wis. Stat. §74.33 and decide which reason for its decision. Gebert stated that it appeared that there was a transposition of the number which created the error. Motion by Pinsonneault, second by Weiland to amend prior motion to direct the village assessor to do an on-site assessment of 1830 Monterey Avenue/6214 Alta Verde Street. If the assessment and measurement yield an error, then the difference in value shall be promptly recorded and the taxpayer shall be refunded the difference in property tax money to be paid as soon as possible.

Chief Finke explained that this fee is used for fire protection services only. Fire fees are assessed against all properties including non-profits. The fees are assessed most commonly by square footage but there are other ways to assess fees. There are unknowns at this time, but the SAFER Board has been in discussions about implementing a fire fee. Pinsonneault asked if when this comes back to the Board if some real examples could be brought to see how it would affect the taxpayers on their tax bills to see the impact. Pinsonneault asked if a fire fee would impact the percentage of what Weston pays towards SAFER. Gebert stated that the amount that will be requested will match what the cost is towards the cost of SAFER. Trautman explained that even with SAFER applying for a grant to go towards the costs of running the department, the municipality will have to eventually come up BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING MINUTES 02/17/2025 Prepared by: Pamela Brehm, Village Clerk  VILLAGE OF WESTON, WISCONSIN OFFICIAL MEETING MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES with additional funds at some time to pay for those costs.

Zeyghami stated that the bridge was built on Birch Street for a safer route for pedestrians to cross. A bridge on CR-X/STH 29 would be dangerous for pedestrians due to the traffic entering and exiting. In the past there was a study completed for a pedestrian crossing at this area, and it was decided it would be safer to build a pedestrian crossing at Birch Street because of the hazards in the area.
