The Village of Weston Board of Trustees took a series of votes on Feb. 16. Key outcomes:
- Ordinance No. 26‑002 (amending subdivision street dimensional standards relating to cul‑de‑sacs): Adopted (voice vote). The amendment allows a limited exception where topographic or environmental constraints prevent reasonable connectivity and requires public works and plan commission review.
- Ordinance No. 26‑003 (2026 official zoning map and extraterritorial zoning map): Adopted (voice vote).
- Resolution 2026‑005 (public participation strategy and procedures for the 10‑year comprehensive plan update): Adopted (voice vote).
- Resolution 2026‑006 (authorize referendum language to exceed State of Wisconsin levy limits by $600,000 for SAFER to add six full‑time firefighters/paramedics): Authorized (5–2 vote). The action authorizes ballot language only; voter approval would be required to change the levy.
- Resolution 2026‑007 (approve preliminary plat, Inner Springs Second Edition subdivision): Adopted (voice vote).
- Aquatic center pump and valve replacement contract: Approved; the transcript records the quoted base contract as $1,428,446 plus $15,890 for electrical work; optional VFD upgrades for three pumps were not approved due to payback considerations.
- CIP updates, vehicle purchases (including utility vans and street department truck #59), and 2026 billable rates: Approved (voice votes). Trustees discussed procurement flexibility to allow staff to negotiate vehicle purchases within committee-recommended not-to-exceed amounts.
Several routine items were also acknowledged, including minutes, departmental reports and board/commission minutes.
