Margaret Jaberg (9043 North Park Plaza Court) appeared representing the Park Plaza Condominium Owners Association. She noted that the association has retained the law firm of Fuchs, Snow & Destefanis, s.c., to represent the association’s concerns and interests with regards to the Brisben proposal. She voiced the concerns of the association, including lighting, location of facilities, ADA compliance, parking, traffic, landscaping, and rubbish removal. She asked that the DNR complete a soil analysis of the site and consider the possibility of wetlands at the site. She noted that a petition is currently being circulated to require a supermajority vote of the Village Board on the item of the Conditional Use Permit for Brisben. She asked that the Village Attorney consider the legalities of a supermajority vote and petition.

Ermina Crabb (3528 West Bradley Road) discussed concerns regarding garbage removal, yard waste collection on the week of July 4th, condition of her neighbors yards, quantity of churches in the Village, cars permitted on residential properties, and number of families allowed in single family homes. Ms. Crabb expressed her appreciation for the Village efforts to remove illegally placed rummage sale signs.

President Wolfgram noted that, after speaking with School Superintendent Bruce Connolly and Peggy Vinson of the YMCA regarding this proposal, the School District and YMCA will assist in finding a location for the after school program at an alternative facility which will not require Village approval. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Schmidt reported that the borrowing is for the purpose of assisting in the financing of improvements as detailed in the Redevelopment Plan for the Commerce Center of Brown Deer, formerly the Bradley Village Shopping Center. He noted that repayment of the debt will be provided from the tax increment revenue generated by the parcels in the TIF district.

Vincent Lyles, of Robert W. Baird Co., Inc., presented the actual financing proposal, provided a summary of the note issue, and detailed the debt service schedule.

President Wolfgram questioned that the payout of the note issue would not be until 2010, while the TIF district is proposed to be closed in 2006. He asked how the remaining financing costs after 2006 would be covered by the TIF. Mr. Lyles noted that the tax increment which is expected for the TIF would be sufficient to pay for the bond financing.

Trustee Schilz questioned the level of financing that is shared by the Village and NEVAC. He asked how the Village will monitor the use of the finance funds and track the cash flow. Ms. Kasza noted that negotiation are continuing between NEVAC and the Village for the preparation of a Development Agreement which will detail the use and maintenance of the financed funds. President Wolfgram noted that he is uncomfortable with the issues and remaining details.

It was moved by Trustee Schneider and seconded by Trustee Krueger to Resolution No. 00-. "Resolution Authorizing the Village of Brown Deer to Borrow the sum of $550,000 By Issuing Taxable General Obligation Promissory Notes Pursuant to Section 67.12(12) of the Wisconsin Statutes and Authorizing the Sale of the Notes." President Wolfgram and Trustees Krueger, Schilz, and Schneider expressed concerns regarding the unanswered financing and development agreement questions. Attorney Dineen asked Mr. Lyles what would happen if the resolution was not passed at this time. Mr. Lyles noted that there would be some cost and effort involved in determining the interest rates and securing investors. Mr. Schmidt noted that the use of the TIF funds for securing financing to complete improvements to the Shopping Center is an appropriate technique for enhancing the value of a TIF district. He added that the aggressive schedule and redevelopment plan of NEVAC and Mr. Vacarro may have led to the need for financing prior to the development agreement approval. The motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Schmidt reported that an amendment to the Cable Television Franchise Ordinance is recommended to allow for the granting of a new franchise to Digital Access Corporation. The Digital Access Corporation Agreement and the revision to the Ordinance was reviewed and negotiated with the Regional Telecommunication Commission. The Village Manager represents the Village of Brown Deer on the Commission. Attorney Dineen reported that the Village may consider the draft ordinance and use "short form" publication procedures to avoid expensive publishing costs.

President Wolfgram said he is interested in an agreement that requires the wires to be buried underground.

President Wolfgram recommended the re-appointment of Walter Baehr and Gerald Schwerm to 5-year terms on the Water Commission. Trustee Schilz expressed concern that Mr. Schwerm does not live in the Village. Attorney Dineen noted that, per Village ordinance, the Water Commissioners are not required to be Village residents.

Mr. Schmidt reported that the Village Manager is currently attending the International City Management Association annual conference in Cincinnati.

It was moved by Trustee Schneider and seconded by Trustee Krueger to adjourn at 9:00 P.M. The motion carried unanimously.
