Man Faces Charges in City Hall Trespassing, Theft

Employees report suspicious activity by 36-year-old man inside City Hall, which leads to other reports of man attempting to enter a nearby apartment, and pending charges in Waukesha County.

Muskego police are seeking trespassing and theft charges against a 36-year-old man who authorities say initially was thought to be loitering at Muskego City Hall, but later was caught trying to steal keys. Officers were first called to City Hall at about 2:30 p.m. Sept. 27 after employees noted that the man, his wife and son were sitting in the employee break room of the lower level, according to a police report. The man told police they were invited to wait there for a ride from a city employee, but police told them to wait in the upstairs vestibule. The employee later denied granting permission to wait in the employee break room, but that she had offered to give them a ride home. The matter was considered over, until police received a …

Library, City Hall HVAC Improvements May Not Wait for 2013

An aging controls system that regulates the temperature in the two city buildings has come to the end of its lifespan, and now one has failed, prompting an earlier-than-hoped request to fund replacement.

A visit from George Wolwark, who is Muskego's maintenance man, at the budget meeting on Wednesday wasn't necessarily planned, but deteriorating conditions with the control systems that operate heating and cooling (HVAC) prompted an early request, and it may cost more than $100,000. Wolwark explained that the controls for the library and city hall boilers and chillers are aging, and he had been working on a proposal to anticipate a failure. However, as a failure has already occurred with the library's controls, he told the Committee of the Whole that the request can't wait for 2013. "Right now the library's system, which was installed in 2000, has failed, and it's now running in a default setting," he explained. While it's not 90 degrees …

Stay tuned...if the default fails, you may be enjoying record high temps. Interesting to note there are a total of 82 thermostats between city hall and the library.   more ›

Sunshine Week: Shining Light Onto Public Governance

In observance of Sunshine Week, Patch is providing some information on your rights to observe your government in action, and some resources for you to explore open records yourself.

Want to know how much the school superintendent makes? That's an open record. Want to watch Muskego officials deliberate and decide what to do about a proposed development? That's an open meeting.  Wisconsin has a long history of open government, and strong laws that support it.  Patch is observing Sunshine Week 2012, which begins today. As part of that observation, we want to share with you some of the open government resources available to anyone.  You have the right to see the records the government keeps — from health inspection reports to employee salaries to the entire municipal or school district budget — and to be present at the meetings where governmental business gets done. The expectation is that government is open — if they …
