The resolution had been deferred from the council's special session on Feb. 22, and could not be discussed at the Feb. 28 meeting as there was not a full body of the council present.

Other business on the agenda Tuesday:

by the county has prompted a request to form a two-party construction agreement between the city of Muskego and Waukesha County. Items that would normally fall under the city's jurisdiction would be the responsibility of the county. The logic is to eliminate the need for two general contractors on the project, hence lowering costs. Landscaping, sidewalks, street lighting and water main relocation would be included under the proposed agreement.
