a) Planning Commission: President Lenz stated the Commission approved
an update to the exterior of an industrial property on Tower Dr. They also
heard a report from Administrator Jenkins on the results of an inspection
at 415 Fredonia Ave to verify the ongoing use of a commercially zoned
property as a residence. The matter has been referred to the Village
Board for action.
b) Public Works Committee: Trustee Franck shared that the Public Works
Committee recommended bidding out the reconstruction of Washington
Ave and the Stoney Creek and Fillmore St municipal lots. They reviewed
the 2026 equipment list, the road rating list, and the sidewalk maintenance

program’s recommendations. They discussed crosswalk safety across
Fredonia Ave.
6. Presentations
a) Presentation from J. Cody Zeigler of Cushman & Wakefield on Sale
Strategy for Parcel Number 090351300500, Located in TID #3. Cody
Ziegler stated there are some major industrial vacancies in Ozaukee
County, including 200 Industrial Dr (the former Guy and O’Neil building).
They are seeing a rise in short-term rentals because of the data center
project in Port Washington. He discussed his marketing strategy for the
parcel and incentives the Village has to offer, including streamlined
approval processes and below-market acquisition costs. He reviewed
potential buyers that have shown an interest in the parcel. Trustee Syring
asked what the projected timeline to closing is. Mr. Zeigler expects a
twelve-to-eighteen-month sales process and reminded the board they are
in month six of being represented by Cushman and Wakefield.
7. Report on Village Operations by:
a) Village President: President Lenz stated the Village is aware of increased
truck traffic on Fredonia Ave and N. Milwaukee Street. Village staff worked
with local counterparts, including Port Washington, Ozaukee County, and
the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Department. Residents should see a
significant decrease in heavy traffic on Fredonia Ave. Trucks using N.
Milwaukee are related to the construction of a duplex on Deer Meadow Dr
and were rerouted onto Martin Dr. That project was completed earlier in
the week. He shared all the developers in the TID have committed to
breaking ground in the spring. He invited residents and trustees to the
upcoming Coffee with the Village event.
b) Village Administrator: Administrator Jenkins shared that there are two
pending lot sales in the Hillcrest development and the duplex on Deer
Meadow Dr. is under construction. News of the new construction incentive
program “Fredonia First” is starting to spread. The Village closed with
Laura Logan on her lot in TID #3. He and Treasurer Upson worked on the
end-of-year financials, tax collection is wrapping up in the Village, and
they have made equipment updates with the Village’s insurance carrier.
Administrator Jenkins and Chief Weyker had a preliminary meeting with
McMahon to discuss the Fire and EMS study. He reported that the plow
truck continues to have issues. Bids for the reconstruction of Washington
Ave and Stoney Creek and Fillmore St municipal lots are due February 5th,
then they will begin bonding process by soliciting the best rate. He and
Director Paulus met with Frontier, who plans to lay fiber internet through
the entire Village. Administrator Jenkins requested Innovation Dr and the
WWTP in the project. Administrator Jenkins gave a high-level overview of
the Village’s end-of-year financials.

c) Village Marshal: Marshal Leet acknowledged the increased truck traffic
and a small amount of speeding and engine braking. He has been in touch
with Prot Washington and Vantage and noted that Vantage has been firm
on following traffic rules. He stated that the new body cams are functional
resulting in a two-week lapse in use. He is gearing up for spring and
summer speed and safety issues on Fredonia Ave. Marshal Leet reminded
the Board that Fredonia Ave has about 30,000 vehicles a week and is a
main thorough way through the county. There is no institutional memory
for drivers and speeding is the largest source of complaints from
residents.
d) Fire Chief: Chief Weyker shared that training hours for his team were
down due to the holidays. They participated in a chimney fire training at
Neuen’s Lumber. He shared that he had hired a full-time paramedic and
that he was extending offers for both a full-time and part-time position. If
the offers are accepted, the paramedic program will be fully staffed for the
first time since it’s inception and be able to offer 24/7 care to residents.
Ambulance call volumes are down over last year, but fire call volume is up
due to mutual aid in other communities. He and Administrator Jenkins
reviewed the preliminary results of the Fire & EMS study done by
McMahon. There were no surprises with the report an aging staff and
declining volunteerism and ongoing capital equipment issues. He and
Administrator Jenkins are planning to meet with the Village’s insurance rep
to discuss the ISO rating and how it may be impacted by changes to the
Village’s fleet.
e) DPW Director: Director Paulus plans to replace 60-70 meters in 2026. He
shared that the county had to come to the Village to make repairs to the
plow truck, which was inoperable during the last snow event.
f) Village Clerk: Clerk Johnson shared that the deadline for ballot access
filings has passed and the candidates are as follows:
• Trustee Term Ending 2027(Special Election)
1. Eric Stowe
2. Bruce Paape
• Trustee Term Ending 2028:
1. Anne Redmond
2. Richard Abegglen
3. Rudy McCormick
4. Jessica Franck
She has updated WisVote with all candidates and administered several
election training courses. Clerk Johnson has been receiving many phone
calls from residents concerning the heavy traffic on Fredonia Ave.
g) Village Treasurer: Treasurer Upson has been working on end-of-year
financials, including W-2’s, 1099’s and payroll. She plans to send notices
to residents who haven’t licensed their dogs. She has begun using the
accounts receivable software, which will streamline the Village’s billing
process.
h) Ozaukee County District 2 Supervisor: no report on file.

8. Items for Action and/or Discussion
a) Discussion and Possible Action on SAP Contribution: First Assistant Chief
Chris Kunstmann explained that the Village may contribute to the state
retirement plan for volunteer firefighters. To be eligible, Fire Department
members must meet their training hours; the Village has 24 eligible
members. The money is invested much like a 401K and members are
90% vested after ten years in the department and fully vested after age
65. The state will match the Village’s contribution up to $509 per eligible
member. Asst. Chief Kunstmann said there is $15,000 allocated in the
budget, which is enough to contribute the full amount of the state match
and cover associated fees. Administrator Jenkins shared there is $16,000
allocated in the budget, to which Trustee Syring asked if the Board should
contribute the full amount. Trustee Abegglen said any residual funds would
be rolled into the following year’s budget.
Motion to Approve Contribution of the State Match of $509.56 per
Eligible Member to the Service Award Program made by Trustee
Abegglen.
Seconded by Trustee Franck.
Passed by 6-0 voice vote.
b) Motion to Approve Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement for
Fire Service Mutual Aid in Ozaukee County made by Trustee Franck.
Seconded by Trustee Syring.
Chief Weyker explained that this mutual aid agreement had been in place
since 1989 between all municipalities in Ozaukee County. The agreement
ensures that no one is charging anyone else for fire service mutual aid.
Over the years, fire departments have merged and the agreement needed
to be updated to reflect those mergers and name changes.
Passed by 6-0 voice vote.
c) Introduction to Ordinance 2026-01: Pertaining to Membership of Ethics
Committee. Administrator Jenkins stated the Ethics committee is currently
comprised of five regular members and two alternates. The members
must not be associated with Village staff or elected officials. It has been
difficult to find enough members to fill all seven seats. Administrator
Jenkins recommends reducing the committee to three regular members
and one alternate. He hopes to bring a full roster to the Board for the first
time in April.
9. Correspondence: None

10. Items for Future Consideration: Administrator Jenkins stated that February is
likely to have long meetings with important decisions to be made.
11. Motion to Adjourn made by Trustee Syring.
Seconded by Trustee Abegglen.
Passed by 6-0 voice vote.

FREDONIA PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
MONDAY, February 2nd, 2026- 7:00 P.M.
Fredonia Government Center – Village Board Room
242 Fredonia Avenue, Fredonia, Wisconsin
1. Chairman Lenz called the meeting to order at 7:00PM, followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance.
2. Members Present: Chairman Lenz, Commissioner Franck, Commissioner
Winker, Commissioner Weiland, Commissioner Barta.
Members Excused: Commissioner Redmond
Members Absent: Commissioner Buvid
Staff Present: Administrator Jenkins
Public Present: Hannah Cholip, Adam DeGroot, Ms. Cholip’s realtors.
3. Public Comment: None
4. Motion to Approve Minutes from the Monday, January 5th, 2026, Planning
Commission Meeting made by Commissioner Weiland.
Seconded by Commissioner Franck.
Passed by 5-0 voice vote.
5. Items For Action and/or Discussion
a) Discussion and Possible Action on the Possible Rezoning of Parcel
Discussion and Possible Action on CSM 2026-01.
Applicant: Hannah Cholip
Agent: Adam Degroot, Parish Survey and Engineering
Address: 415 Fredonia Ave; Parcel Numbers 090500506002 and
090500505000
b) Discussion and Possible Action on the Rezoning of Parcel Numbers
090500506002 and 090500505000 from B-1 Business to RS-3 Single
Family Residential.
Applicant: Hannah Cholip
Agent: Adam DeGroot, Parish Survey and Engineering
Address: 415 Fredonia Ave

Administrator Jenkins stated that the two action items would be handled
together. At the January 5, 2026 meeting, the Commission voted to deny
Ms. Cholip’s request to rezone her entire parcel from commercial zoning
to residential. She has since provided a CSM and a new rezoning request
for the smaller lot, with the house, that the CSM creates. Adam Degroot
explained the dimensions of the new lot meet the requirements of the RS3 Single Family Residential zoning district. The business parcel would be
in the back of the lot with a driveway that fronts on Fredonia Ave and
meets the requirements of the B-1 Business zoning district. Mr. Degroot
said CSM creates a usable residential and usable business parcel. He
said the CSM would make it easier for Ms. Cholip to sell either parcel.
Administrator Jenkins stated that changing the zoning of either proposed
parcel is in conflict with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and would
require the Village to update the plan. Mr. Degroot acknowledged the
Commissions desire to maintain a robust business district but noted many
residential parcels surrounding the property. Administrator Jenkins
clarified the actions requested of the Commission: if they wish to move
forward with the rezoning request, the Commission should set a public
hearing and then make a recommendation to the Village Board. The
Commission will make a recommendation on the CSM after the public
hearing. Administrator Jenkins asked Ms. Cholip if she had plans to sell
the commercial lot. She does not.
Motion to Set a Public Hearing on the Rezoning Request from B-1
Residential to R-S3 Single Family Residential at 415 Fredonia Ave on
March 2nd, 2026 at 7:00PM made by Commissioner Franck.
Seconded by Commissioner Winker.
Commissioner Winker asked Ms. Cholip’s realtors how they managed to
inadvertently sell her a commercial lot. The realtors responded that none
of the documentation they had seen referred to the lot as a commercial
one. Administrator Jenkins responded strenuously that every single
document that went through Village staff to the title company before the
sale indicated that the parcel is commercial and could not be used for
residential use only.
Passed by 5-0 voice vote.
6. Correspondence: none
7. Items for Future Consideration: none
8. Motion to Adjourn made Commissioner Franck.
Seconded by Commissioner Weiland.
Passed by 5-0 voice vote.

Fiscal Summary: N/A
Budget Line Item: N/A
Wisconsin Statute or Local Ordinance: N/A
Background Analysis: It has been historically difficult to find Village residents to appoint to
committees, especially the Ethics Committee. This body does not normally meet unless there’s a
perceived violation of Ordinance Section 49. But regardless, these vacancies should still be filled.
Currently, Ordinance calls for 5 sitting members and 2 alternates. Our hope is by shrinking this
membership to 3 members and 1 alternate, we can fill the Board vacancies.
Staff Comments: There is no recommended changes to the scope or responsibilities of the Board
– only to membership composition.
Administrator’s Recommendation: Approve
Action Requested: Approve Ordinance 2026-01

members. The members of the Ethics Board shall be residents of the Village or full-time
employees of a business located in the Village. The members shall not be officials or
employees of the Village, whether elected or appointed, paid or unpaid, including
members of boards, committees and commissions of the Village, as well as any
individuals who are candidates for elective office as soon as such individuals file
nomination papers with the Village. The members shall not be immediate family
members of a Village official or employee. Each member shall be appointed by the
Village President and subject to confirmation by the Village Board. Terms of office shall
be three years, except that when the initial appointments are made, one member shall be
appointed for one year, two shall be appointed for two years and two for three years. The
alternates shall be appointed for three-year terms, except that when the initial
appointments are made, one alternate shall be appointed for one year and one shall be
appointed for two years. The alternates serve on the Board when one of the citizen
members is unavailable. The Board shall elect its own Chairman and Vice Chairman. The
Village Attorney shall furnish the Board legal assistance when necessary and when doing
so does not present a conflict of interest to the Village Attorney. With the prior approval
of the Village Board, the Ethics Board may retain independent counsel when the Village
Attorney is unable to provide legal assistance to the Board. The Village Clerk shall serve
as the Ethics Board Secretary.

Re:

Washington Avenue Reconstruction
Contract 1-2026
Village of Fredonia, Wisconsin

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
Bids for the above-referenced Project were opened on February 5, 2026. Six Bids were received with the
resulting Bid tabulation enclosed. The low Bid of $396,036.40 was less than ENGINEER’s opinion of
probable construction cost.
Mueller Excavating, Inc. of Campbellsport, Wisconsin, was the apparent low Bidder at $396,036.40. The
Bid included a Bid Bond for 5 percent. The Bid is deemed to be responsive.
Strand Associates, Inc. has not had previous experience with Mueller Excavating, Inc.
If you determine that Mueller Excavating, Inc. is a responsible Bidder after your evaluation of their
qualifications, we recommend proceeding with award of the Contract in accordance with Article 18 of
the Instructions to Bidders.
Sincerely,
STRAND ASSOCIATES, INC.®

Nicole L. Wellenstein, P.E.

Request for Board Consideration

Item Description: Possible Snowplow Emergency Purchase

o Smart Residential, Industrial, or Commercial Growth

Fiscal Summary: $271,000
Budget Line Item: 110-00-53300-820-000
Wisconsin Statute or Local Ordinance: N/A
Background Analysis: A replacement for the 2006 Sterling snowplow and salter was originally
scheduled in the 2024–25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Due to prioritization of other CIP
items and minimal maintenance costs at that time, the replacement was deferred to the 2026–27
cycle. It was later postponed again to the 2028–29 cycle for similar reasons. However, recent
equipment failures and escalating maintenance costs now require that this replacement be brought
forward for emergency consideration.
The Village is currently divided into three plow routes, allowing two plow/salt trucks and a loader to
operate simultaneously and complete snow removal efficiently. When the 2006 Sterling is not in
service, snow removal must be completed in two phases. This extends the time required to clear
the Village from approximately five hours to nearly ten hours, primarily due to reduced salt
coverage and the need to return to areas where new snow accumulates without adequate salt
application. Additionally, if the remaining plow/salt truck were to become inoperable, assistance
from neighboring municipalities or the County would likely be limited, and the use of private
landscape contractors would result in significantly higher costs and availability. To note, the 2006
Sterling is used for more than just snowplow operations – it is also used for year-round projects
such as, watermain breaks, street repair, and hauling material.
When not operational, impacts on efficiency in our operations are even noticed by our residents.
For example, the Thanksgiving holiday 10-inch snowfall, required a snow emergency to be
declared, a buildup of ice on streets, and extensive overtime of employees for their prolonged time
spent clearing and salting the Village.
Since 2023, the Village has spent approximately $29,000 on repairs to the 2006 Sterling snowplow.
Department of Public Works staff now have serious concerns regarding the vehicle’s ability to
reliably perform during a snowstorm event. Outstanding repairs remain, including issues with the
transmission, brine tank, and rear brakes. While the front leaf springs, hydraulic hoses, and front

brakes were recently repaired by the Ozaukee County Highway Department, the overall condition
of the vehicle continues to present a substantial operational risk.
Staff Comments:
Director Paulus: I have identified a cost-effective replacement option for the 2006 Sterling
snowplow. Staff propose ordering a Freightliner cab chassis through Truck Country at an estimated
cost of $146,000, with Ozaukee County completing the build-out for $125,000 due to available
capacity in their schedule (totaling $271.000). By placing the order prior to March 2026, the Village
could avoid anticipated emissions-related and tariff-related cost increases, resulting in an estimated
savings of $10,000–$30,000.
If this item is not addressed this year, staff can continue operating the current three-route plowing
system as long as all trucks and equipment remain functional. However, continued operation of the
2006 Sterling will require ongoing maintenance estimated at $10,000–$20,000 annually, in addition
to the existing budgeted equipment maintenance line item.
Administrator Jenkins:
If in Favor:
This purchase is currently unbudgeted and falls outside the approved Capital Improvement
Program. Should the Village Board wish to proceed, two financing options are available:
Option A: Increase the 2026–27 borrowing package by the purchase amount and include the
associated principal and interest payments in the debt levy.
Option B: Utilize cash reserves, consisting of $81,300 from the General Fund, $54,200.00 from the
Sewer Fund, and $135,500 from the Water Fund. As an emergency purchase, this expenditure may
be funded from available reserves; however, this approach would reduce fund balances.
If the Village Board wishes to avoid impacting the tax levy, Option B is preferred. Administration
also recommends Option B should the emergency purchase be authorized. Additionally,
administration recommends that proceeds from the sale of the existing equipment be applied to
offset costs within the Equipment Maintenance line item.
If Not in Favor:
DPW staff will continue operating existing equipment and performing repairs as failures occur. A
mid-year budget adjustment will be required to increase the Equipment Maintenance line item to
accommodate anticipated repair costs.
Administrator’s Recommendation: As this is such a large unbudgeted expense, I recommend a
lively discussion, and deferring action to the following meeting. This will allow time for the Village
Board to weigh the pros and cons of this impact on our finances and snowplow operations, and if
there are any questions or suggestions the Board has, we can answer in the meantime.
