\"This past Easter, without those restrictions, traffic quickly became unsafe,\" Wisniewski said, describing cars parked on both sides of a street while vehicles entered and left. She said she saw a police vehicle with lights activated unable to pass on Renton Road because of congestion.

Wisniewski asked the village to consider extending temporary parking restrictions to major church services such as Christmas and Easter, to enforce restrictions consistently during the festival and to commission a parking or traffic study for the neighborhood, which she said has limited ways out and increasing school traffic when Heartland North and St. Charles School are in session.

She said she has lived in the neighborhood for 25 years and has observed substantial growth in school populations without corresponding traffic control changes. The board did not take immediate action at the meeting but acknowledged the request.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","August 25, 2025 Hartland Village Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","During public comment, a resident asked the Village Board to maintain and enforce temporary no-parking restrictions during the St. Charles Festival and to consider similar controls for major church services; she also requested a parking or traffic study near St. Charles School and Heartland North due to safety concerns.","taxTitle","Village of Hartland, Waukesha County, Wisconsin","taxId",57017,"location","Wisconsin","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503025,"Resident urges village to seek alternative bidders, questions Keller contract approach",124,782000,906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671267-c1e3354b6275080bb0166213a000ffc1&start=782&end=906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671267-c1e3354b6275080bb0166213a000ffc1/thumbnail_782000.jpg","/articles/6503025/Wisconsin/Resident-urges-village-to-seek-alternative-bidders-questions-Keller-contract-approach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503025-3297f731c7bc991da860c2fcaa53a315/orig.mp4?Expires=1770850140&Signature=FXgZZApxLIOUMuQJSLP26AryCUJadlCZ-ImNN9x4mwufCL9yfTx7bwk0tFADdkHfOHA2wvEXbT6xrLtOBhBF96Qh07fy7nijiBcQ03aoYUqoteUBav93m4BCoVU060LoY4bo~LN7nykJnmCeVTz0L66ueZ2QltetUW20K~Z9SaKu75TXTQmnA0Yx40~50QOkZ2tjPaB~7Wa4QTY-nMAh9u~BraunqtayaLlW4A8c9H2AdQdw4kNrB~FFjm7nOvgmlgRTdFdgNMvviw1Ms15j7tytTKo0bJXpVfEKajVHy6ZI3uCgzRfj-quHYG-Of1I39BOE9c-d4UKlrm9qFBlpVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Crotty, a Hartland resident, used the meeting’s public comment period on Aug. 25 to urge the Village Board to consider alternatives to the firm identified in recent project discussions and to seek independent needs analysis and competitive bids.

\"I sense there is a lot of urgency that we're trying to get to a decision real quickly,\" Crotty said, identifying himself at 356 Sunshine Drive. He urged trustees not to \"fall into almost this commitment with Keller\" and recommended looking at other firms and procurement approaches.

Crotty cited an example he handed to trustees from Jackson where an independent firm, Cedar Corporation, provided a needs analysis and a lump-sum bid for a larger public building; he said a similar project there was bid at about $11.6 million. Crotty said using an independent needs analyst avoids a conflict where a single firm both recommends project scope and then seeks the construction contract.

Crotty criticized the cost-plus fee approach described by the contractor, saying a small percentage fee (he cited a 2.5% supervisory fee) gives a contractor little incentive to reduce costs: \"When the big box people do a cost plus deal... they'll let the G.C. get 30% of the savings out of the deal. They keep 70%. So you incentivize the G.C. to actually save you some money. ...When a guy's working at 2.5%, he has no incentive.\" He also noted change orders, soil conditions and weather as drivers of cost increases and offered to help identify alternative builders and procurement approaches.

Crotty said he has residential remodeling experience and a neighbor in commercial construction who provided cost-per-square-foot examples; he suggested trustees consider lump-sum bids and independent owner representatives to reduce the risk of escalating costs. He offered to provide contacts and assistance to village staff.

The village board did not take action in response to the comment during the meeting.","A resident at the Village of Hartland public comment period urged trustees to 'shop around' and consider independent needs analyses rather than relying on Keller, citing lower-cost examples and warning that a cost-plus arrangement can remove incentives to save money.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503032,"Hartland authorizes emergency funds after 24-inch storm sewer collapse along E.

Tom, a village staff member who reviewed the site, told trustees that a televised inspection showed the clay pipe is collapsed, measures about 24 inches in diameter and runs roughly 160 feet. He said the pipe conveys significant flow from East Capitol Drive east toward Nixon, and recent storms likely worsened the failure.

Staff said they stabilized the sinkhole temporarily by adding larger cobblestone material to prevent further washout and that R & M (engineering) will provide prints to ensure correct elevation and pitch for replacement. R & M’s replacement estimate for the pipe alone is approximately $50,000, Tom said, but total costs could rise to $75,000–$100,000 depending on trench size and whether asphalt parking surface or sidewalk sections must be restored.

Trustees approved the board action authorizing use of fund balance for the emergency replacement; staff said the village must solicit contractors at a time when many contractors are closing seasonal work, which may affect timing. Tom said the lack of recorded easements in the area means the village will be responsible for replacing disturbed surfaces in private property areas where the village’s pipe lies beneath.

Trustees asked about interim stabilization; Tom said crews placed larger stone to reduce ongoing erosion and the sinkhole’s growth until excavation and replacement can proceed. Staff expects R & M’s prints in the coming week and will begin soliciting contractors thereafter.","Village staff reported a collapsed 24-inch clay storm sewer carrying flow from East Capitol toward Nixon; trustees approved using fund balance to replace the pipe and staff will solicit contractors after receiving engineering prints.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6503037,"Village of Hartland approves routine payments, licenses and two property resolutions",94,1293000,1387000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671267-c1e3354b6275080bb0166213a000ffc1&start=1293&end=1387","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671267-c1e3354b6275080bb0166213a000ffc1/thumbnail_1293000.jpg","/articles/6503037/Wisconsin/Village-of-Hartland-approves-routine-payments-licenses-and-two-property-resolutions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6503037-9c51e4f89adb2c26f8046e6b8020f8f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770850140&Signature=b~L~24cN5AGbxVYSM6o8dGtmiAw2enQnkIs~gc18ONDKgRueUuo3V8qnThWdcy63u~9561IAdGz5XmsRbGYUyZr16~QKxR-tC5mVb7LFXtfY1cLPGyTUUjChiVciOwYACT09zUvOrhzGeTyvN24y7k~jCSpyzpubEsws0msBYClmU7U3f0u2Uye7Mp8fCR~zPZTVkUw5kGWil9a41Lyh56hdCylv7U~uN-6bCesW~Z9mLslIpEytiUFdRtbQYGMHtCMCP9brY4ODt2uUv6ce-7Bj~l8~ejWrm3bwTViMbk8LWeRZHq3CfmiEWVMpmJCLGjpzT83EQSYBaSHQ-8On9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Hartland Village Board on Aug. 25 voted to approve multiple routine payments, licenses and permits, a funding action for an emergency stormwater repair, a county tax-billing agreement and two resolutions, including initiating an eminent-domain process for a vacant lot at 550 Hartbrook Drive.

The board voted in favor of contractor payments and routine bills: $242,750.22 to Wolf Paving Company (payment No. 3 for the 2025 paving program); $47,859 to Thunder Road LLC (payment No. 1 for the 2025 road maintenance program); and vouchers totaling $418,732.05. Trustees moved and seconded each item and the board voice-voted the measures \"Aye.\" The minutes of the Aug. 11 meeting were also approved.

Licenses and permits approved included a Class B combination beer and liquor license for El Camino Real LLC doing business as Senior Tomás at 150 North Avenue after a public hearing, and approval of a conditional use permit for a change of ownership for Burrows Real Estate LLC at 300 E. North Shore Drive. The board approved a restricted-species (backyard chickens) application for Kristen and Jessica Zabrowski at 108 Lindenwood Drive for six chickens, contingent on approval from the homeowners association. A bartender application for Dylan Armbruster was approved; the clerk will issue the permit as directed.

The board approved an emergency use of fund balance to repair a collapsed 24-inch clay stormwater pipe between 140 and 150 E. Capitol Drive. Staff described the pipe as approximately 160 feet long and said R&M (engineering) expects a replacement-only estimate around $50,000, with total costs possibly as high as $75,000–$100,000 depending on pavement and sidewalk repairs; trustees approved moving forward to solicit contractors.

Trustees also approved the village's annual agreement with Waukesha County for data processing, property tax assessment and billing services, and passed Resolution O8252025 pledging that the village will appropriate the minimum funding for the Hartland Public Library (the staff stated the minimum appropriation is $467,678 for 2026) to allow the village to remain exempt from the Waukesha County library levy. Finally, the board approved a resolution of necessity to begin the eminent-domain process related to the vacant lot at 550 Hartbrook Drive; staff said the next steps include appraisals and a possible offer process prior to litigation if the owner rejects an offer.

All motions that reached final vote passed on voice votes recorded as \"Aye\" by the board; no roll-call dissent was recorded on the motions in the meeting record presented.
