The Arena Village Board set a special meeting for Tuesday, May 17, at the request of MSA to review and approve a contract for design, bidding, and construction services for Well #2 in the village.
The village of Black Earth voted to waive fees for concession stand use by the Wisconsin Heights Youth Tennis and Baseball teams. Board member Tyler Munson came up with the idea, noting they would be able to do a good amount of fundraising if the fees were waived.
Prior to the closed session to discuss Black Earth’s police department proposal, the village board of Mazomanie got through nearly 35 agenda items in an efficient 20 minutes, thanks to the direction of Village President Gary Harrop.
The Sauk City board discussed ATV and UTV routes in the village, with members agreeing in principle to them, with the details to be hammered out later. The board is waiting on a map from the Honey Creek ATV/UTV Club of the preferred routes.
At last week’s meeting, the board denied a request by Mazo Hardware to keep pallets alongside their building. Reasons cited included a lack of room, with the current placement of the right of way. The Fire Department also had concerns about pallets stacked alongside the building.
The Prairie du Sac Village Board approved a new development in the downtown area at their meeting last week. The Plan Commission had previously given the go-ahead. The project is at the east corner of Highway 60/78/Water Street and Prairie Street.
Village planner Mark Roffers explained the development in an email:
The Sauk City board last week revisited the potential remodel of the Village Hall, a project first discussed in 2019 and slated to begin in 2020. Construction never got under way because of bad timing—2020 was a busy year for village staff with four elections and staff changes.
The Village of Black Earth is looking for professional help for available grants, and the board is sending instructions back to the committees to come up with two items or projects they’d like to get help on for grant writing.
Pending village board approval on April 12th, a large new development may be coming to downtown Prairie du Sac, at the east corner of Highway 60/78/Water Street and Prairie Street. The plan commission held a well-attended public hearing Monday night about the project, and gave their approval.
