Brian Belt @ 377 Park Ave - Mr. Belt expressed his concerns regarding the lake weed policy.  He feels like residents were not listened to and the removal of weeds for residents is too burdensome.  He also suggested that Lake Pewaukee Sanitary District's policy should be similar to the Village's policy as LPSD has no spacing/distance restrictions where the Village does.  He would like to see a more combined effort with LPSD regarding training staff.  He also expressed concern regarding the September date to remove the machinery from the lake as he believes it is too early.

a. Discussion and Possible Action on Request for 30 Day Extension of Temporary Amendment to Development Agreement for The Glen at Pewaukee Lake Regarding Construction Traffic Site Access
Administrator Gosse explained that at the April 6th Village Board meeting the Village Board approved Cornerstone to utilize Quinlan Road off of W. Wisconsin through May 17th, 2022.  Due to the heavy rain this spring the project has been delayed and therefore Cornerstone is seeking an additional 30-day extension.  Cornerstone representative, Alan Peters explained that the last few weeks the weather has been great but before that the rain slowed the project down, they are intending to start the curb and gutter installation next week.  They intend this next step should take about 3 weeks but they are asking for 30 days to give them room in the event rain impedes the proposed timeline.  In response to Trustee Hill, Alan Peters stated that they are looking into working with Agape Church's parking lot to repair damage caused by the construction.      
Trustee Grabowski motioned, seconded by Trustee Rohde to approve a 30-day extension of the temporary amendment to the Development Agreement for The Glen of Pewaukee Lake traffic site access as presented.

b. Discussion and Possible Action on Recommendation from Joint Park & Recreation Board Regarding Lakefront Park Transient Pier Parts/Supply Purchase
Director Phalin explained that last year the Village authorized the purchase of a transient pier and when they started planning the installation they discovered that additional hinge kits would be needed to attach the pier pieces together to give a layout that could be utilized.  The cost is approximately $6,000.  The suggested setup would include a 6' boardwalk with 3-4' fingers.  The hinge kits would allow staff to install and remove the pier using staff.  In 2023 a grant will be submitted for the park and making this purchase will aid in this process.  Discussion regarding the placement of the pier and the view of the pier from the shore.  Phalin stated that the funds used are coming from the Park Improvement Fund and no General Funds would be used.  Discussion followed regarding pier installation and the trailers used to store and mobilize the pier.
Trustee Hill motioned, seconded by Trustee Krasovich to approve the purchase of transient pier parts and supplies as presented not to exceed $6,000.
Motion carried 7-0.

c. Update and Discussion Regarding Status of Lifeguards for Lakefront Park Beach
Director Phalin explained that normally the Park and Recreation Department hires 8 lifeguards for the season and currently they have only 1.5 lifeguards with no other applicants, therefore the beach will be open this year without lifeguards.  The beach will be open to swim at your own risk.  Discussion followed regarding staffing.  A press release will be made tomorrow, May 18, 2022, to get the word out the beach will not be staffed with lifeguards this summer.  Phalin stated he doesn't want to have intermittent coverage to confuse the public.  Signs will be posted stating to swim at your own risk and the guard towers will be removed.   

d. Discussion and Possible Action on Recommendation from Joint Park & Recreation Board Regarding Kiwanis Village Park Rental Application for August 20, 2022
