[0:11] At 6:00 I'll call the meeting to order. Let's start with the pledge.

[0:16] » I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

[0:21] and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with

[0:28] liberty and justice for all.

[0:34] » We currently have a vacancy in the village president position.

[0:39] The all remaining current trustees are

[0:43] present. Um we will begin with as we did a few weeks ago. Um a um process to

[0:51] select a president pro temp which is just for the meeting or until a village

[0:57] president is selected today if you do do that. So um looking I guess for

[1:03] nominations for the president pro temp to run the meeting today.

[1:08] » I'll nominate Dave Armstrong for president pro tem.

[1:11] » I second. >> Any other nominations? Any other

[1:16] nominations?

[1:19] So hearing none, all in favor? >> Aye.

[1:22] » Opposed? I pass it over to pro tem Armstrong.

[1:27] » Great, thank you. Um

[1:29] we are stuck we'll start off with the minutes uh to file the

[1:33] July 13th, 2026 Board of Public Works minutes as presented. Any questions,

[1:39] revisions?

[1:43] Okay, all those in favor say aye. >> Aye.

[1:46] » Any opposed? Okay, minutes can be filed. Um do we

[1:51] have a sign-up list first to speak?

[2:09] » Madam Clerk, I may have missed it. Was there a motion to approve the minutes?

[2:13] I'm sorry, Mr. President. Could we could we entertain a motion to approve the

[2:17] minutes as as filed?

[2:21] » I'll make a motion to amend the minutes as filed.

[2:24] » I second. >> Okay, now all in favor say aye.

[2:27] » Aye. >> Good practice.

[2:30] Okay, now we will go on to persons requesting to be heard.

[2:35] First on the list is Marie McFall. Please come up to the podium, state your

[2:39] name and your address, please.

[2:48] » Marie McFall, 1104 Sunset Court.

[2:57] It's been a really tough summer for a lot of citizens in our village.

[3:02] While facing challenges, I ended up re-watching the award-winning

[3:07] series Ted Lasso for some comedic relief.

[3:13] For those unfamiliar with the show, it is a heartwarming comedy-drama about

[3:18] an eternally optimistic American football coach who moves to England and

[3:24] uses kindness, empathy, and positivity to transform

[3:30] a struggling soccer team. Now, you're probably wondering why I'm

[3:35] up here talking about a TV show instead of talking about fixing the dam, the

[3:41] gate on the dam, and other important village business.

[3:46] It's simple. Sometimes you just have to step back,

[3:51] re-evaluate, and recharge

[3:55] for that next challenge. It's not only okay,

[4:00] but it's necessary. You have in front of you a replica of

[4:05] the iconic believe sign that hangs in the locker room in Ted Lasso.

[4:12] I hope it reminds you as our elected representatives

[4:17] that leadership, trust, teamwork,

[4:22] and believing in one another isn't just part of the game,

[4:27] it is the game. So, as I said at the public hearing a

[4:32] few weeks ago, be a champion for the citizens of

[4:37] Grafton, and you'll all be winners in the end.

[4:41] All the best to you, and have a great night. And I put a QR code on the bottom

[4:47] of your copy, so that if you want to watch the

[4:51] snippets about the sign and its life through the the series, you can do that

[4:56] with your phone. Thank you. >> Thank you, Marie.

[5:02] » Hey, Dennis, I had trouble with your last name last time, but please come on

[5:06] up. Uh and uh

[5:09] » My writing is terrible. >> But please state your name and your

[5:11] address for the record. Thank you. >> So, my name is Dennis Steeden. I live

[5:17] here in Grafton, 1509 Wisconsin Avenue. Um I came to the meeting um

[5:24] the last Village Board meeting to learn, not to speak. Uh but I have learned a

[5:30] lot since then, and I'm sorry that uh Mr. De Waard is

[5:34] not here, because he and I exchanged some emails, and uh

[5:39] few of you, I think, were included or whatever. Uh but anyway, um

[5:45] I'm just here to, first of all, say I'm glad there's another uh Ted Lasso fan

[5:51] and I coincidentally started watching it. It's a series that came out in 2020

[5:58] and I had forgotten how good it was. So uh

[6:02] the belief sign. Yeah. The other thing I wanted to comment on,

[6:07] when I came to the meeting um at the public works,

[6:11] a lady came up to me, Erin Bloom. I Is she here tonight?

[6:17] Okay. So, we had a nice conversation. And I she wrote a book. That's how

[6:23] famous all this damn stuff is. I have only lived here in well, 2 and 1/2

[6:28] years. So, I have no history. I came to the last board meeting open-minded and

[6:35] that's the way I want to continue. So, this is, I would suggest, a great book.

[6:40] It's available at the library. I'm going to take it back tomorrow. And I before I

[6:46] do that, I want to read one excerpt, if I might,

[6:51] that uh Erin wrote cuz there's a lot of

[6:57] information. So,

[7:02] I'm just right Read the second part. So, we are proud of the board and what they

[7:06] have accomplished in the past. We look forward to a great future enhancements

[7:10] of the river starting with the fish passage.

[7:15] Perhaps they would dredge upstream to bring water

[7:20] and bring back the water sports the Grafton once had. In this book, there's

[7:26] a picture of people water skiing up in the mill pond.

[7:31] Um perhaps Veterans Park can be rejuvenated

[7:36] with a warming house for families who ice skate, cross country, etc.

[7:42] Establish in the center of the village with vital businesses close by. It's a

[7:48] great park, hosts festivals, anytime. As she says, the end the possibilities are

[7:54] endless. So, with that in mind, I started doing some research that Mr. And

[8:02] Dorat had basically thought was a good idea. So, that's where I went to the

[8:07] public works meeting last week, and I did speak. And I spoke about things that

[8:13] I had found um and basically um thought were good ideas

[8:20] at the time. So, I basically suggested

[8:26] um removal of the silt,

[8:30] possible vertical fish ladder, and budgets utilizing the system that I

[8:38] think you guys have put in place. Where you're looking in the future 5-year

[8:43] program, it's a rolling calendar. You introduce new projects, etc. I would

[8:49] like to suggest that the Mill Pond and the dam and the fish ladder be included

[8:55] in long-term thinking because there's no way to accomplish, I think, all the

[9:00] things that people would like to see in a short time frame. So, those were the

[9:05] things I I spoke about. Tonight, I just want to mention one other thing. Um

[9:12] I didn't give up on my search for answers to what I thought were some

[9:18] confusing things. And so, I wanted to reach out and found that actually

[9:25] Ozaukee County has a commission of parks and parks and recreation. Under that is

[9:31] a subcommittee that is in charge of the watershed of the Milwaukee River. So, I

[9:38] was able to actually reach someone who was there back in the day when all this

[9:43] started with actually in 2008

[9:49] uh there was a a request from the Village Board to

[9:54] Ozaukee about a fish path at the time or a fish ladder, either one. So, they um

[10:03] at the time it was a time of stimulus money. So, they had gotten like over 6

[10:08] million from the feds and they were willing to take a portion of that to I

[10:16] guess help repair the dam and also to look at the possibility of a fish

[10:21] pathway of some type. So, that started things.

[10:27] But, the confusing part in this is like

[10:31] it's a 220-page report. This is just about the dam. And

[10:38] so, 2008 the Village engineer recommends the

[10:43] approval of a fish ladder at the dam. The Village Board meets, passes a motion

[10:49] recommending support for the Village for the the fish dam.

[10:54] Now, we move forward to July. July 13th

[11:00] the Public Works Board meeting recommends the Village Board

[11:06] uh approve the dam removal. So, I'm not sure what was going on back

[11:13] there, but I think there must have been a total disconnect. So, anyway, the good

[11:19] news is I have taken upon myself to write some emails to some of the people

[11:25] at the DNR because they're the ones that at the last minute deep-sixed the whole

[11:31] thing. And Ozaukee County with their budget of you

[11:37] know, like 1 and 1/2 million, whatever it was, to the to the construction of

[11:42] the fish pathway, uh had spent 300,000 of their money um through all kinds of

[11:50] things that were required. Uh studies about could the fish actually swim in

[11:56] the dark and then reach the top of the dam and and trap swim. The other thing,

[12:03] of course, which killed it was this whole issue of the lampreys, uh fish

[12:09] lampreys. So, I'm not going to go into all the detail of what I heard back from

[12:13] them because I think I want to wait until something's decided to replace

[12:20] President. Thank you so much for your time.

[12:22] » Thank you. >> Thank you.

[12:23] » Thank you. >> Paul Malloy.

[12:30] » Uh Paul Malloy, 1701 Tainter Avenue. Um what I want to thank all of you uh

[12:37] for the way you voted and um it's nice to see

[12:41] uh you all um listened and um appreciate you all the way you voted. Um

[12:48] second, uh Corey

[12:51] is one of my customers, lives in Grafton. We both live in Grafton. I make

[12:55] sensors, he buys them from me, puts them in hydraulic cylinders. He's the one

[12:57] that offered to help and go down and help diagnose the

[13:01] uh the broken gate. Um he had reached out

[13:05] to the DPW. Um they said back that they're concerned about insurance issues

[13:10] and all that kind of stuff that doesn't seem to be very realistic. Um

[13:17] it's kind of like we have a mechanic in the family and the car doesn't run, but

[13:21] somebody doesn't want to let the mechanic go look at it.

[13:24] So, um Corey's at a uh trade show in Indiana.

[13:28] So, I'm just mentioning it to you guys. He's going to uh email you guys and ask

[13:33] for permission to do that. Um and then uh

[13:38] third thing was um Mill Pond continuing improvements.

[13:44] Uh you know, obviously the gate needs to be fixed. It needs to be fixed before

[13:47] winter, so it doesn't freeze, which will damage it. Uh so, that has to be a

[13:51] priority, but in the long run, I think everybody feels that that's an asset to

[13:55] the community. The Mill Pond, the vision, it's our history.

[14:00] Um so, maybe we use this as an opportunity for continuing improvements

[14:05] and uh possibly rename that. Years ago, that was called Mill Pond Park. It was

[14:10] changed to Veterans Park. They put that cannon there.

[14:13] We got another awesome park named Centennial that

[14:16] doesn't really mean anything to anybody that I know of.

[14:20] My idea, we should rename that Veterans Park.

[14:24] Rename Mill Pond Park Mill Pond Park, which is our history.

[14:27] And uh as a benefit, when they have the

[14:30] parades, they don't have to go across Highway 60.

[14:33] They go across the old bridge and not shut down the whole town.

[14:36] Um we uh be a good time to dredge it. Turn it back to what it was. Uh

[14:42] and then um this last one may have had some alcohol

[14:46] involved, but uh we did save that really cool old

[14:51] bridge. And we moved it up to Mill uh to um Lime Kiln Park, which is awesome to

[14:57] save it. Um

[15:00] but the village owns the land on both sides.

[15:03] The side of the boat ramp and the other side of the park.

[15:08] Again, there's some alcohol involved. It would be really cool to move it back.

[15:13] Might not be able to reach all the way across,

[15:16] but if you land it by the boat landing, you could have 3/4 of it on the land,

[15:21] a quarter of it sticking out over river. People could walk on it, take pictures,

[15:25] go fishing. You're putting the bridge back to where it was. You kind of make

[15:29] that postcard image again. Again, there's some alcohol involved,

[15:33] but I think that Mill Pond Park could have

[15:37] a lot of improvements done. It is kind of the heart of Grafton. It's kind of

[15:39] the picture of the town. So, uh thank you again for uh

[15:44] voting to fix the gate and uh appreciate all of you. Thank you.

[15:48] » Thank you. >> [laughter]

[15:52] » Okay, those are the only three that signed up. Is there anybody else that

[15:55] would like to speak? Come up forward, state your name and

[15:58] your address, please.

[16:03] » Uh Steve Holsman, 1327 North Street. Um I was just thinking um there's been a

[16:08] lot of uh interest in the Milwaukee River and the

[16:12] Mill Pond in the last couple months that I wondered if we ever that trustees ever

[16:17] considered creating a citizens committee, like a standing citizens

[16:20] committee, that would meet and talk about potential improvements to the Mill

[16:24] Pond, to the river, and sort of um a way for

[16:27] interested like community members to um kind of have this sort of discussion and

[16:32] kind of come up with ideas um for um um improving the health of the Mill Pond

[16:38] and the river. And that's it. >> Thank you.

[16:43] Anyone else? Come on.

[16:46] Please state your name and your address for the record.

[16:50] » Hi, I'm Donna Smith, 1728 12th Avenue. Um I'll be honest with you. I'm not sure

[16:56] what the procedure is to choose a new village president,

[17:01] but I just wanted to point out, remind everyone that in the

[17:07] April 2025 election,

[17:11] Dan, who has my greatest respect,

[17:15] sorry he's not here to thank him. Had [clears throat] 52% of the vote with

[17:21] 2,791 votes. This is going by Anna Osaki press

[17:26] article. Lisa Harbeck had 47% of the vote

[17:31] with 2,543 votes.

[17:35] I'd like to respectfully suggest that Lisa, who had 15 years experience as a

[17:41] trustee, be considered for the position because she did have a lot of a lot of

[17:46] votes. Clearly a lot of support from the

[17:51] village residents. Thank you.

[17:54] » Thank you.

[17:57] Anyone else?

[18:00] Okay. Uh business presented by the president.

[18:03] We don't have any unless you've got something. No. Okay.

[18:07] So, we'll move on to resolutions ordinance action items. First one is

[18:11] discussion and possible action on filling village president vacancy and or

[18:16] filling potential village trustee vacancy.

[18:20] And I can kind of speak to it if you want for a minute. Um it's kind of laid

[18:24] out in the memo, but um it's up to the board as to who you appoint to be the

[18:29] village president. Um so, you have um a policy that was adopted prior previous

[18:36] board in like 1997, which kind of laid out the the process for um something

[18:41] like this. Um

[18:43] the um processes uh and the policy is together for both

[18:48] trustees and the village president. Although it's I don't believe we ever

[18:51] had a village president vacancy since then. Um it uh lays out an application

[18:58] process, although that kind of looks more like for a trustee position, not a

[19:03] village president position, but you could do as you so choose. Um if you

[19:08] want to pick a trustee um

[19:12] member to become the village president, you certainly can do that. Um, there is

[19:16] a process laid out in the policy as to how the vote goes and how you go ahead

[19:21] and do that. Or you could set a deadline for an application to consider

[19:26] um any citizen um that's eligible to serve

[19:30] um to do it. Those are kind of that's step one or step A.

[19:35] And then um depending on what you do there,

[19:38] um if you do select a trustee to become the village president, then you would

[19:44] have a trustee vacancy because that trustee has to vacate their position to

[19:48] become the trustee to serve out the rest of the term through April of next year.

[19:52] So, um that's kind of in short um um kind of what you're looking at here.

[19:58] And it's up to decide what route the board wants to go to start.

[20:03] » Okay. I'd like uh to move uh to nominate Dave

[20:06] Armstrong uh to be our next village president. Dave has the experience.

[20:12] He has the character. Everybody who knows Dave knows he's a great guy. Um

[20:18] And I think he he has the vision to lead um the village forward.

[20:22] Um right now we really need to come together as a community. Um I love the

[20:27] the Ted Lasso um analogy. I think we could be a really really great team. Um

[20:32] and I think Dave could lead us forward. >> I second.

[20:38] » I accept. >> Um first I'm glad to know that you have

[20:43] interest or somebody just threw you out there. Um

[20:47] if um it's I guess up to the board how you

[20:50] want to handle it. The policy says that there are

[20:55] nicely balanced that I worked on today um that go out that you fill it out and

[20:59] then turn it in and then so I guess theoretically nobody nobody nobody knows

[21:05] who's voted already and for who. um, but you could just do it the regular

[21:10] way, too. >> The ballots would assume there's

[21:12] multiple nominations, I guess. >> Yeah, so.

[21:15] » Could we do roll call? >> Yeah, does I guess is there anybody else

[21:18] that wants to, um, anybody else that wants to try to jump

[21:23] in yeah, for the nomination instead or not?

[21:26] If if that's the only nomination, then obviously we're we're set. Um,

[21:31] I'm hearing no other nominations. Okay. Yeah, then we can go ahead with the roll

[21:35] call vote, then. Um, so we had a motion and a second,

[21:38] um, for Dave Armstrong to become, um, the Village President, um,

[21:44] to fill the remainder of this term. That's vacant, correct? Okay.

[21:50] » Okay, maybe the clerk Clerk, uh, Madam Clerk, can you call for the roll call

[21:53] vote? Call for everyone's, uh, all of the individuals' votes.

[21:57] » Please vote by roll call vote.

[22:02] » Yes. >> Yes.

[22:05] » Yes. >> I don't get a vote.

[22:07] » Not on this one. >> [laughter]

[22:09] » Yes. >> Yes.

[22:12] » Congratulations. >> Thank you.

[22:23] » Oh, now we the second thing we prepared. Now,

[22:26] Carmen has to give you the oath so you can actually officially

[22:29] » [laughter]

[22:35] » I, state your name. >> Dave Armstrong,

[22:38] » who have been elected to the position of Village Board President,

[22:41] » who have been elected to Village Board President,

[22:44] » and in and for the Village of Grafton,

[22:46] Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, >> in and for the Village of Grafton,

[22:49] Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, >> do hereby affirm that I will support the

[22:53] Constitution of the United States, >> I do hereby affirm that I will support

[22:57] the Constitution of the United States, >> of the State of Wisconsin,

[23:00] » the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin,

[23:02] » and the municipal code of the Village of Grafton

[23:04] » and the municipal code of the Village of Grafton

[23:07] » and will faithfully discharge my duties >> and will faithfully discharge my duties

[23:11] » of my position to the best of my ability >> of my position to the best of my ability

[23:15] » so help me God. >> So help me God.

[23:17] » Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you.

[23:24] » So I'll just need to get a couple of signatures from you, Dave, after the

[23:27] meeting. >> Okay.

[23:29] So so now we're on step two of that same agenda item. So now um your former

[23:34] position is now vacant. So how does the board um handle that? Under the policy

[23:39] um there would be uh an application um and then you would

[23:44] just need to set a deadline for that and then we have um

[23:49] an interview process that we would have folks come in to um after applications

[23:54] were received. Um the um I had a and I have already some

[24:02] uh we just um this has happened before. Um so we've had we have an application

[24:07] form um that Katie and I just looked at today, our village clerk, and it's all

[24:11] ready to go. And we also looked at uh a previous um

[24:17] questionnaire that you can ask interview questions during that process. Um so we

[24:22] have those all set. It's up to you if you actually want to look at them or

[24:25] just like we don't need to see them. We'll look at them that day and we're

[24:29] generally good. But if you want to look at the

[24:32] the questions we have put together so everybody has the same questions that

[24:36] you answer ask when and gets the same application. Um

[24:40] if you want to look at that and get feedback or you just we we where we got

[24:44] you, you you know how to put together an application and an interview

[24:47] you know questions, that's fine, too. But I have them. It's up to you guys

[24:51] what you want to do. And then secondarily, um

[24:55] assuming that's the way you want to go is you want to accept the applications

[24:58] um for interviews. I had a couple dates in mind and just

[25:03] depends on how much time you want to give. Kind of like

[25:08] we would want something usually like that you know 4:00 on the Wednesday

[25:11] before a board meeting so we can get everything in the packet for you. So you

[25:15] have all the applications to review. So if you are looking at the

[25:20] September 8th board meeting we would have a deadline of September 2nd. If

[25:25] you're looking at the September 21st board meeting we'd have a deadline of

[25:28] September 16th. So I guess those are the two things.

[25:33] If you want to go ahead and accept applications we just kind of need to set

[25:36] a date and then we can go ahead through the policy and we we post that and and

[25:42] all the applications go to clerk and then we will put it in your packet. It's

[25:47] just we need to decide on which date and then if you

[25:50] want to review any of the materials ahead of time or not.

[25:54] » I'll make a motion to um

[25:57] yes, submit um to the public for applications with the September 8th

[26:03] date. >> So it'd be a September 2nd

[26:07] application deadline for the September 8th board meeting.

[26:09] » Correct. Okay, that one. >> I'll second that motion.

[26:12] » Do we think that's enough time? >> It's it's up to you how much you want to

[26:16] give. So it's basically you're given two weeks versus four weeks ish for

[26:20] applications to come in. It's just what do you does the board prefer?

[26:23] » Yeah, okay. >> Yeah.

[26:25] » Sooner the better. >> for that. Yeah.

[26:30] » So now we need a motion and a second to set the deadline for applications of

[26:35] September 2nd. >> Yeah, so we had that. Yeah.

[26:39] » Danny I had the motion. >> Oh, okay.

[26:41] » I second it. >> Okay, so we had a second. Okay.

[26:44] » So now we can take it to a vote unless anybody's got questions or

[26:49] » Nope. >> Okay, all those in favor say I.

[26:51] » I. >> Any opposed?

[26:54] September 2nd it is. >> And we could just by consensus that you

[26:57] don't want to review anything ahead of time or do you want to?

[27:01] The questionnaires I have. >> I've seen it in the past so I mean

[27:05] » Okay. >> I'd be curious to see it.

[27:08] » Yeah. I can I can

[27:10] It'll be in the packet too if that's okay. Yeah or or actually I'm not sure.

[27:15] I guess that's the question. Do you want folks to know what the questions are

[27:18] ahead of time or not? >> [laughter]

[27:22] » I have no problem with that. >> Me neither.

[27:25] » I see no problem. >> Okay. Yeah. So we'll um

[27:29] we'll they'll be in the packet so people can see them ahead of time. Okay, sounds
