Development News from the latest meeting
Oregon Village Board Meeting (7/6/26)
Published: Jul 6, 2026
Village Approves Contract for Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe School Plan Study
The village board approved a three-party contract for a bicycle and pedestrian transportation study and safe school plan. The contract is between the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the village of Oregon, and MSA Professional Services. The total cost is not to exceed $69,989.95, with WisDOT covering 80% and the village responsible for the remaining $14,000. MSA was selected for their qualifications, understanding of the scope, and local connections, over other firms that also met the grant amount. The project aims to improve bike and pedestrian infrastructure and safety, particularly around schools.
Wastewater Treatment Plant Bio-solids Study Approved Amidst Unidentified Ammonia Increase
The village board approved a task order with Town and Country Engineering for a bio-solids engineering study related to phase 2 wastewater treatment plant improvements. The study is prompted by a weakening market for bio-solids disposal, with less use by farmers. The board acknowledged that the source of the ammonia concentration increase in the wastewater treatment plant's effluent could not be pinpointed to a specific location or product within the village, and that such issues can be difficult to trace, sometimes taking years to resolve. It was advised to focus on restoring the plant's function and monitoring for future occurrences.
Village Board Discusses Water System Master Plan Update, Recommends Tower Replacement and Booster Upgrades
The village board reviewed a water system master plan update, focusing on the sighting of a new water storage device and an interzonal booster. The study evaluated existing facilities over a 20-year period, updating a 2015 master plan. Current infrastructure includes four wells, three storage devices (south standpipe, north standpipe, Lincoln Road tower), and two interzonal boosters. The analysis found a deficit in storage capacity, predominantly in the primary pressure zone, and recommended approximately 300,000 gallons of elevated storage. Several tower site options (T1-T7) were presented, with a leaning towards T4, T6, or T7 based on anticipated future growth and land acquisition considerations. For the interzonal booster, options included new sites (B1, B3, B4) or upgrading existing infrastructure at wells 4 and 5. The staff recommendation leaned towards renovating wells 4 and 5 due to cost-effectiveness, with a focus on the water tower replacement first.
Village Board Approves Senior Center Project Change Order, Engineering Studies, and Staff Promotions
The Village Board approved several procurement items: a change order with Ports and Construction for the Oregon Senior Center project, a task order with Town and Country Engineering for a bio-solids study, a contract with MSA Professional Services for a bike/pedestrian study, and proposals for PLC/touchscreen upgrades at wells 4 & 5, and well 5 maintenance. Additionally, resolutions were approved for the promotion of a Public Works Group Person and a revised job description for the Parks and Facility Manager.
Oregon Area Senior Center Rebranding Decision Made, Official Name Retained
The Village Board approved the rebranding of the Oregon Area Senior Center, ultimately deciding to officially retain the name 'Oregon Area Senior Center' for official documentation while the sign on the building will read 'Oregon Senior and Community Center'. This decision followed discussions about community voting results and concerns regarding the exclusion of the word 'area' in some proposed names. The board aimed for clarity and simplicity while acknowledging the contributions of surrounding areas.
