1.) Ord. No. 1908 - Pet Grooming as a Conditional Use in District 11

Upon discussion the Plan Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Village Board. Ord. No. 1908 will be on the Monday, February 19, 2024 Village Board agenda.

The Village’s Assessor, Accurate Appraisal, will be at the Village Board meeting tonight to provide a recap of the 2023 assessment year as well as a preview of the Village-wide Property Revaluation they will be conducting this year. Wisconsin law requires municipalities to periodically complete a thorough review of all assessments. During a revaluation all assessments are examined and adjustments are made where necessary to guarantee that all property is assessed at market value. This is done to assure that taxes are distributed equitably and uniformly.

The Village of Whitefish Bay in partnership with COM2 Recycling Solutions will be hosting a FREE electronics recycling event on Saturday, February 10*, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., in the Public Works Department parking lot (155 W. Fairmount Ave). Please enter from northbound lane on Lydell Ave.

COM2 will be accepting computers, laptops, printers, keyboards, mice, fax machines, phones, televisions, tablets, e-readers, gaming consoles, DVD players, VCRs, stereos, microwaves, and much more! Any hazardous materials (batteries, paint, or medical waste), Freon-containing items (refrigerators, air conditioners), or radioactive materials will not be accepted.

*In the case of inclement weather, the event will be postponed to Saturday, February 17.
