Meeting Preview: Public Safety Committee to Justify Ambulance Fees

The Muskego Public Safety Committee will meet Wednesday at 6pm at and here's an overview of what is on the agenda.

• Update on Fire/Rescue Contracts - the City and the Tess Corners Fire and Rescue have been discussing a revisions to a retention program for the department, but the TCFD has not wanted to relinquish ownership of their buildings, which was part of the offer from the city; the issue was last discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting on December 13, with the matter being left up to the TCFD. The agenda was not specific to indicate if this matter will be addressed.

• Streetlight on Wentland Drive - Alderman Snead had requested at the last meeting that Captain John La Tour research any problems with criminal activity in the area of Wentland Drive in response to a citizen's request for a streetlight where the road dead-ended near the lake. A recommendation for a sign to be placed to warn of the dead end was also made. As neighbors had not seemed in favor of a light, the information received from MPD will likely decide whether or not a light is needed.

• Rescue Agreement/Ambulance Service Fee Increase - Alderman Kert Harenda had , stating that there was never any reasoning given for the request.  The PSC will likely outline the data needed to justify the rate increase and the matter will again be presented to council at its January 10 meeting.
