The Village Board Meeting for Shorewood, Wisconsin, held on May 19, 2025, commenced with a proclamation recognizing National Public Works Week. Village President McCullough MacKague emphasized the essential role of public works services in the daily lives of residents, highlighting the importance of community understanding and support for these services, which include sewer and water systems, park maintenance, refuse collection, and street repairs. The proclamation called upon residents and civic organizations to acknowledge the contributions of public works personnel to the community's health, safety, and quality of life.

Following the proclamation, the board addressed reports from the Village President regarding the recent North Shore Fire Department board meeting. Notably, the finance director, Caitlin Harrigan, has accepted a position in the private sector, which was described as a significant loss for the department. However, a replacement with extensive experience has been secured and will begin next month.

The meeting then transitioned to trustee reports, where discussions included a request for information regarding the schedule of repairs for alleys. It was clarified that such requests do not require board action and can be addressed directly to the village manager. The board discussed the process for submitting future agenda items, ensuring that all members understood the protocol for requesting information and potential changes to long-range financial plans.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed without objection, officially ending the session at 8:10 PM. Overall, the meeting underscored the village's commitment to public works and effective communication among board members regarding community needs and administrative processes.
