4.0 Discussion and Possible Action Regarding the Sports Complex
Attorney Riffle stated the City’s code is written to address three (3) different project
categories: 1) capital spending, 2) new or existing building construction and 3) road work. He
stated it was his opinion that the Sports Complex falls under a capital spending project and
therefore does not need to go to referendum.
He stated the Park Dedication Funds that are in reserve prior to the law changes can be used
for this project.
It was also his opinion that if the Sports Complex could draw at least five (5) tournaments a
year, the City could probably use some Tourism funds. Common Council should come up
with a plan to assure the funds will be used to put heads in beds.
Ms. Brown stated it appears there is a struggle with the overall concept of the Sports
Complex; is it going to be a local community park or something bigger? She stated taxpayers
should have a voice via a referendum, even if it is non-binding.
Ms. Enters stated she was in favor of having a pubic hearing/informational meeting and would
like to see an advisory referendum. She wants the needs of the children met as well as the
needs of senior citizens. She stated she’d also like a traffic study done. Ms. Enters also
voiced her concerns that there was not enough detail in the proposed expenses, such as annual
maintenance costs for the building and grounds and paving costs.
Mayor Klein stated this project has been in the plan for several years, but would like the
expenses scaled down so that borrowing is not needed. He also said that he thought 35%
contingency was too high and numbers should be reduced. He’d also like to get firm numbers
from the sponsors/partners of the Sports Complex.
Bob Rohde stated without the backing of the Common Council on this project and having a
firm timetable it was impossible to go out to raise funds for something that might not happen.
Mr. Wamser asked why the Sports Complex was not centrally located. The Mayor told him
there were not too many flat - 40 acre parcels available when the study was conducted.
Mr. Wamser stated he wanted this project to go to referendum.
Ms. Whitcomb warned Common Council that clubs and corporate sponsors aren’t obligated to
give in future years and this could be the sole responsibility of the City.
Adam Dobberstein (N37 W23488 Broken Hill Circle South) – stated he felt the community
would benefit from the Sports Complex.
Tim Toman (N9 W23988 Sherwood Drive) stated he was not in favor of the project and
wanted it to go to referendum. He questioned why all the talks were suggesting that the
Pewaukee High School would be the only school using the Sports Complex, when there are
other school districts within the City of Pewaukee and they should have the same
opportunities to use the facility as well. He stated he wants to see all the costs, for all the
phases up front.
Eric last name unknown (Springdale) stated in order to grow and build the community these
types of developments are needed.

Jim Tredwell (W275 N2437 Heather Lane) stated he felt parks build a sense of community
and was in favor of the project.
Cathy Selerski (N47 W22347 Weyer Road) voiced her concerned about the lack of stop lights
at the entrance of the Sports Complex.
Barb Whitcomb stated the spending cap ordinance was approved in 2007, if it is absolved
direct legislation can take its place and then every project over $1 million would go to
referendum. She stated the maintenance on this project is forever; let the people decide.
Chris Wagner (1035 Bending Bray – Village of Pewaukee) stated he felt the project was
extremely important to the kids.
Brian Schmidt (Lannon / Sussex Unity Soccer Club) stated there are 900 members in the club
and 2/3 live in Pewaukee (city and village combined). He said the soccer club could
comfortably run 1 or 2 tournaments per year. At least 8 fields would be needed to hold a
regional tournament. He stated there needs to be a strong sense of direction before sponsors
can be approached.
A motion was made and seconded (S. Bierce, D. Noll) to hold a public information
meeting regarding the Sports Complex and direct staff to reserve the Pewaukee High
School for Monday, September 9th. Motion Passed: 6-For, 0-Against.
5.0 Update regarding Status of Proposed Bell Tower Memorial Building at Pilgrim’s Rest
Cemetery - Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Sale of the Site
Attorney Riffle stated the proposed agreement would give the Bell Tower Memorial
Committee the land and they would have to maintain the structure. The City would maintain
the grounds and be able to utilize the parking lot for cemetery traffic. If the organization can
no longer manage the structure it would be dedicated to the City.
A motion was made and seconded, (S. Bierce, D. Noll) to require the Bell Tower
Memorial Committee to amend their offer to purchase, contingent upon approval of the
site plan by the Plan Commission and Engineering approving the stormwater
calculations. Motion Passed: 5-For, 0-Against, 1-Abstain (C. Enters).
6.0 Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Rescheduling First Meeting in September Due to
Holiday

comes up, and then it could be scheduled for Tuesday, September 3rd.
