Sewer and Stormwater Utilities Report Deficits Due to Capital Spending; Water Utility Shows Surplus
During the financial audit presentation, it was noted that the Sewer Utility experienced a deficit of approximately $736,000 in 2025, primarily due to capital expenditures and the timing of bond proceeds. The Water Utility had a surplus of $228,000, but this was affected by restricted cash for unspent impact fees and bond proceeds. The Stormwater Utility also had a deficit of $488,000 due to significant capital projects. Auditors recommended continuing to evaluate rates and long-term maintenance and capital project planning for these utilities.
Developer Proposes 120-Unit Apartment Complex to Address Housing Shortage
Spark Development presented a concept for a 120-unit apartment complex with 10 buildings, each having 12 two-bedroom units. The project aims to address the documented housing shortage in the region, offering units at a competitive price point. The developer emphasized the project's self-contained operation, not taxing village resources for maintenance, and its alignment with the comprehensive plan's vision for the urban core overlay. They highlighted the need for housing options for various demographics and how multifamily units can complement single-family neighborhoods. The proposal also included plans for stormwater management, with over 15% of the site allocated for these facilities, aiming to maintain existing drainage patterns and potentially improve downstream conditions.
School District Implements Measures to Improve Traffic Safety and Flow
During a discussion on park development and safety, concerns were raised about school drop-off and pick-up traffic congestion. The district implemented several strategies to alleviate issues at Greenville Middle School (GMS) and Greenville Elementary School (GES), including doubling the loop size at GMS, adding a bus lot at GES/GMS for safety, and assigning crossing guards. They also expanded the drop-off/pick-up loop at GES. While not perfect, these measures have significantly improved traffic flow and safety.
Greenville Postpones Park Referendum Discussion to Gather More Input
The board discussed the park referendum and whether to proceed. The Parks Recs Forestry Committee Chair, John Conrad, stated the committee is working on a proposal and recommendation based on current conditions and the broader plan for outdoor recreation. Staff noted issues with survey delivery and the need for further input from the park committee. The board agreed to postpone the discussion to a future meeting to allow for further review and input, acknowledging the survey results (54% against, 35% for) and the need to address park capacity issues, such as for Greenville USports. Concerns about developing subdivisions and infrastructure development, including sidewalks and safety, were also raised.
Hortonville School District Reports Strong Academic Performance and Financial Stability
The board convened a presentation from Todd Tim, District Administrator of the Hortonville Area School District, who provided an annual update on the district's performance and finances. Key highlights included academic achievement scores placing the district in the top 40% of Wisconsin schools, increased student participation in youth apprenticeships, and a focus on reading instruction. Financially, the district's mill rate is at a 20-year low, and while considered a low-revenue district, it is not under an operational referendum. Tim also discussed the impact of the state budget, special education funding, and enrollment trends. He addressed questions about the district's capacity for future enrollment and commented on school safety and infrastructure improvements.
