The Heart of the Valley Metro-politan Sewerage District held its quarterly community meeting at the Kaukauna Community Room Thursday where Scott Schramm of Strategic Municipal Services gave a report on the work done on the upcoming sewer interceptor rehabilitation project.

No one spoke at a public hearing Wednesday, March 24, for utility and street construction work on Hartzheim and Evergreen drives in Little Chute.

Village Engineer Chris Murawski led the presentation that discussed the work that will be completed over a 24-week period from April to October.

A Baker Tilly evaluation of Kaukauna Utilities last year showed a need for more staffing in the IT department and evidence of that continues to come to the Kaukauna Utilities Commission. The department serves both the utility and City of Kaukauna.

Timing is everything in sports, music and in many other areas of life. The timing of the proposed new park impact fee just wasn’t right for the Sherwood Village Board members present at the March 22 meeting. 

Assessments for residents of Railroad Street, Creekview Lane and Kitty Court were reviewed at the public hearing for street, sidewalk and storm lateral construction on Railroad and Creekview and mini-storm construction on Kitty Court at last week’s Kimberly Village Board meeting.
