The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the lower level of the Sussex Village Hall.
Sussex homeowners will continue to pay less than residents in nearby communities for trash and recycling services as a result of a likely Village Board decision, one of several agenda items on the docket for Tuesday's meeting. The Board will vote on a three-year extension of a sanitation and recycling services contract with Veolia Environmental Services that will have Sussex homeowners will paying about $35 less than in other comparable municipalities, where the average is about $170 a year for sanitation and recycling services. The Board is also expected to approve an agreement between the village and the Town of Lisbon so that residents can continue to use the compost site.

The village's National Night Out and ice cream social on Wednesday will also be home to discussions on the Sussex Village Park master plan.
Between enjoying Sussex's annual National Night Out event and the Pauline Hass Library's ice cream social, village residents can learn more about the multi-million dollar renovation project to reconstruct Sussex Village Park.

The Public Works members have one month to brainstorm as the village has made this project a priority.
Replacing the decomposing welcome signs on the outskirts of Sussex has been put on the fast track after discussion during Tuesday’s Public Works Meeting at the Village Hall. Greg Goetz, the Village President, is eager to get the signs installed in early 2012, so committee members are placing the design and aesthetics of the sign up for a vote during next month’s meeting. “This is something that I’m adamant about getting going in spring,” said Goetz. It’s now up to the committee members to brainstorm ideas as to what the sign should look like and what it will say. Considering Quad/Graphics donated the $36,000 for the new welcome signs, some sort of acknowledgement has to be placed on each sign as well. While committee member Tim Dietrich …

It's that time of year again, and that means it's also time for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony at Sussex Village Hall.

Profanity and chilly temperatures won't keep these picketers indoors.
Wednesday night’s bitterly cold temperatures didn’t stop residents from dusting off their signs, pulling out their clipboards and standing outside Sussex Village Hall to gather Gov. Scott Walker recall signatures. Emil Glodoski and Peggy Tennessen were two of the handful of people luring passers-by into the Village Hall parking lot to get people to sign the recall forms. However, not everyone seemed happy with their efforts. While talking with Glodoski on the sidewalk on Main Street, a pickup truck sped by while the passenger screamed, “(Explicit) you!” out the window. “God bless them,” Glodoski calmly said in response. As the president of the Pauline Haass Public Library Board of Trustees, he began packing up his things and making his way…

What's on tap in Sussex this week? Well, for starters, it's not going to be a hot as it was last week. Last week, we had four days in which the high temperatures in Sussex topped 90 degrees, including Wednesday when the high was 98 degrees, according to AccuWeather.com. This week, AccuWeather.com says we're going to get some relief as the highs will be in the 80s every day. It looks like Thursday and Friday will be the hottest days of week - as temps both days are expected to hit 88 degrees. Here's some other highlights of the week ahead in Sussex and the surrounding area this week: Say farewell to the fair: If you haven't made it out to the Waukesha County Fair yet, Sunday is your last day to do so.

Sussex village president says he would like to see a facility built within the next five years, if fiscal conditions are right.
Village President Greg Goetz said he wants village officials to consider speeding up plans to replace Village Hall in order to include the project in Sussex's next round of borrowing. Goetz said he doesn’t want to put any more money into the current facility and he wants to complete the work at the same time other downtown beautification projects are taking place. “I would hate to do the whole streetscape and redesign projects in 2015, and then redo the village hall in 2018 and all of that would have to be torn up again,” he said. “The bottom line is (the current building) is an old schoolhouse, and the best way I can put it is that it’s not meant to be a village hall.” The project is currently being discussed at the committee level, where…
