April 6, 2020 – West Bend, WI – The West Bend Common Council is delving into some new territory tonight, Monday, April 6, as it hosts a meeting in a virtual format in an effort to honor the Safer at Home Emergency Order. This is in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting will feature interim Mayor Steve Hoogester in the council chambers and other representatives checking in via skype/Zoom. Tonight’s agenda and livestream are below.
One of the larger issues on the Common Council agenda is item No. 13. A Final Resolution Levying Special Assessments for the reconstruction of 18th Avenue between Vogt Drive and Decorah Road.
On March 3, 2020 a public hearing was held at City Hall. Tonight a decision is expected with regard to the special assessment.
It appeared almost all of the 70 homeowners and their spouses were in attendance at Monday night’s West Bend Common Council meeting as a public hearing was held on a special assessment for neighbors in the Westminster Place subdivision located in the area of Decorah Road and 18th Avenue. The special assessment is tied to road improvements on 18th Avenue between Decorah Road and Vogt Drive along with curb and gutter, street lights, sidewalk, etc. About 85 properties are included in the special assessment.
The group appeared in an organized effort to try and convince the council to back off on a special assessment that could tag properties an additional $1,757.14 to $5,449.47 to over $16,000. That last increase is for an address that houses a non-profit organization on 18th Avenue.
