The Menomonee Falls Village Board approved a string of administrative and development actions on Monday, Oct. 20, including bill payments, a final plat, an assessment‑services contract and infrastructure agreements. Separately, the board rejected a rezoning request for the Hilltop Grove planned residential development (see separate coverage).
Votes at a glance
- Consent agenda (bill payments and minutes): Approved unanimously. The board approved bill payment for September 2025 totaling $2,699,063.92 and minutes from meetings on Sept. 15, Oct. 6 and Oct. 14. (Motion to approve the consent agenda: Trustee Stuhn; second not specified.)
- Final plat — Evergreen Fields, Phase 6: Approved unanimously, subject to 26 conditions recommended by the Plan Commission and any changes required by the Wisconsin Department of Administration. (Motion: Trustee Tout.)
- Assessment services agreement — Catalyst Tax and Kama Inc.: Approved unanimously. The board approved a four‑year agreement for assessment services including a 2025 data conversion fee of $40,000 and subsequent maintenance/revaluation work in later years; trustees described the contract as a cost‑effective approach to keep assessment values current. (Motion: Trustee Tata.)
- Termination and release of public easement at N88 W15000 Main Street: Approved unanimously. The action was described as agenda language cleanup to reflect a previously approved item. (Motion: Trustee Kress.)
- Development agreement — Tamarind Phase 4 (Home Path Financial Limited Partnership): Approved unanimously. The board approved an agreement requiring the developer to install public infrastructure (roads, sanitary, water main, storm sewer) at its cost and dedicate the improvements to the village; the village will be reimbursed costs associated with review and inspection. (Motion: Trustee Kress.)
- Adjournment: Motion to adjourn passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The approvals move multiple development projects and administrative contracts forward, including public infrastructure work and the village’s reassessment strategy. Trustees referenced cost, staffing levels for assessment, and long‑term utility connections as reasons to proceed.
Key details and next steps: The Catalyst Tax agreement schedules a multi‑year cadence of maintenance and statistical revaluations intended to keep the village near market parity while spreading costs; the developer agreements require installation of infrastructure and eventual dedication to the village. The approved final plat for Evergreen Fields, Phase 6, and the Tamarind Phase 4 infrastructure agreement both include standard conditions and inspection requirements before acceptance by the village.
Ending: With routine approvals finished, the board closed its meeting and later convened a brief special meeting.
