Trustee Memo

Meeting Date: 10/5/2026
Memo Date:

10/1/2026

To:

Village Board

From:

Trustee Chris Stoa and President Cynthia Kelm-Nelson

Subject:

Attendance Policy for Intergovernmental Meetings

Background/Overview​
The Village of Cottage Grove participates in joint meetings with other municipalities,
governmental bodies, and regional partners to discuss matters of shared interest and to
coordinate on issues that affect the broader community. These include (but are not necessarily
limited to) the Deer-Grove EMS Commission, Cottage Grove Fire District Commission, and
Natvig Landfill Monitoring Committee.
These meetings provide an opportunity for the Village to communicate its priorities, understand
the perspectives of neighboring jurisdictions, and participate in discussions that may ultimately
influence regional decisions, agreements, or policies.
Because these meetings involve representatives from multiple municipalities, the Village’s
participation is important to ensure that the Village is represented on an equal footing with other
municipalities. When the Village is not fully and equally represented, we lose an opportunity to
present our perspective and may have less ability to participate meaningfully in the discussion
or respond to proposals being considered by the group.
Regular attendance is of utmost importance. It is a crucial aspect of representing the Village’s
interests in intergovernmental discussions and ensuring that decisions involving multiple
communities reflect the perspectives of all participating municipalities.
Information​
The Village needs to make sure that we have an equal voice in intergovernmental committees
and commissions. There is no provision in the newly-approved Board handbook or in ordinance
about attendance at these meetings (aside from needing enough members to have a quorum).
Unexcused absences and failure to inform alternates of an upcoming absence is an
unacceptable action from someone elected to represent the people of the Village.
We should create a requirement to attend or to inform either the Village President or the
appointed committee/commission alternate of an upcoming absence so that the Village has time
to ensure that we have equal representation on these boards.

Trustee Memo

Trustee Request/Recommendation
Create a requirement, either in the Board handbook or ordinance, requiring attendance at
intergovernmental meetings. Appointed members should be required to inform either the Village
President or the designated board alternate of an upcoming absence. If the board member fails
to follow this protocol, and leaves the Village on an unequal footing in these meetings, it shall
count as an unexcused absence. Two or more unexcused absences should be grounds for
removal from the committee.

Subject:

Upfitting Squad 255 as Command/Emergency Management Vehicle

Background
Squad 255 is currently in service with the Village of Cottage Grove Police Department.
Repurposing and upfitting this existing vehicle for command and emergency management
functions would maximize the value of an available fleet asset while providing the Police
Department and the Village with a dedicated mobile resource for major incidents, planned
events, and emergency operations.
Overview
Upfitting Squad 255 as a command/emergency management vehicle would provide a secure,
connected, and rapidly deployable platform for incident command, interagency coordination,
communications, and operational planning. The vehicle would enable command personnel to
establish an organized field presence near an incident, maintain access to critical information
and communications systems, and support continuity of operations during emergencies, largescale incidents, and extended events.
The proposed upfit would include a rear secure vault for the protected storage of command
materials and specialized equipment; a Cradlepoint Wi-Fi unit to provide reliable mobile
connectivity; a mobile computer and docking station to support access to records, mapping,
incident documentation, and other operational applications; and a radio to maintain
dependable communications with responding personnel and partner agencies.
Using a vehicle already assigned to the Department is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing
a separate command vehicle. The proposed improvements would enhance operational
readiness, strengthen coordination and communications, and provide a flexible resource to
support both law enforcement operations and broader Village emergency management needs.
Recommendation

Village of Cottage Grove, WI

Staff Memo
Staff recommends approval to upfit Squad 255 as a command/emergency management vehicle
and authorization to use an amount not to exceed $25,000 from the 2026 Capital Fund for the

Staff Memo
Meeting Date: October 5, 2026
Memo Date:

October 1, 2026

To:

Village of Cottage Grove Board of Trustees

From:

Sean Brusegar, CPRP, CPO – Director of Parks, Recreation & Forestry

Subject:

Outlot 5 Park Name & Signage

Background

Outlot 5 is a 2.7-acre parcel that provides access to Thaden Park. The property is currently
undeveloped and serves as neighborhood greenspace that is frequently used by area residents
for informal recreation, nature appreciation, and small neighborhood gatherings. While the
area has long functioned as a community open space, it has not been assigned an official name
and is commonly referred to simply as Outlot 5.
As part of a broader proposal to formally designate the Thaden natural area as protected open
greenspace (see attached memorandum), Parks, Recreation & Forestry Committee Member
Amy Brice recommended that the area be officially named Horseshoe Park at Thaden Natural
Area.
The total cost of the proposed signage is $2,193.00. Neighbors and area residents have already
raised $1,000 toward this effort, demonstrating strong community support for the project. The
remaining balance could be funded through the department’s operating budget.
Committee Recommendation

On August 27, 2026, the Parks Recreation & Forestry Committee voted 5-0-0 to approve the
attached sign and name the area Horseshoe Park at Thaden Natural Area and fund the
remaining balance through the department’s operational budget if funds are available.

MEMORANDUM
To: Cottage Grove Parks, Recreation & Forestry Committee
From: Amy Brice, Committee Member
Date: 05/07/2026
Subject: Consideration of Designating Outlot 5 aka Thaden Park as Open Green Space,
Installing a Historical Marker, and Removing the Parcel from Future Open Space
Development Planning

Purpose
This memo requests that the Committee discuss and consider three related actions
regarding the area informally known as Outlot 5 / Thaden Park:
1. Formally designating the site as an open green space,
2. Installing a sign with a historical marker recognizing the Thaden Farm, and
3. Removing the parcel from future open-space development planning, given its
historical significance and environmental conditions.

Background and Historical Context
The land commonly referred to as Thaden Natural Area holds meaningful historical value
within Cottage Grove’s agricultural heritage.
•

The Thaden Horse Farm, located along Highway BB/Cottage Grove Road, was a
well-known and respected agricultural operation during the mid-1900s.

•

Owned and operated by Elmer and Alice Thaden, the 40-acre farm served as a
prominent horse-boarding facility and contributed to the local farming community.

•

The Thadens raised two children, Penny and Mike, on the property. Alice was also a
familiar community figure through her work as a cook at Gaston School and as choir
director at Bryn Mawr.

•

Historically, the farmstead house stood across Highway BB near Westlawn Drive,
while the remainder of the acreage extended northward into what is now the marshy
conservancy between Taylor Prairie School and the Post Office.

•

This area, now known as the Thaden Natural Area, reflects the agricultural
landscape typical of early Cottage Grove—open fields, livestock areas, and lowland
marsh.

•

The farm ultimately ceased operation after repeated flooding, which began when
residential development expanded north of the property.

This history aligns with the broader story of Cottage Grove’s early settlers, who relied on
subsistence farming and adapted to the region’s open, workable land. The Thaden family’s
contributions represent a meaningful chapter in that narrative.

Rationale for Committee Consideration
1. Designation as Open Green Space
Outlot 5 in Thaden Natural Area already functions as a community green space and wildlife
corridor. Formal designation would:
•

Preserve the land’s natural character,

•

Protect the marshy conservancy from incompatible development, and

•

Honor the agricultural legacy associated with the Thaden family.

2. Installation of a Historical Marker at Outlot 5
A modest interpretive sign or marker would:
•

Educate residents and visitors about the site’s agricultural past,

•

Recognize the Thaden family’s contributions to Cottage Grove,

•

Strengthen community identity by preserving local history, and

•

Mark completion of the development of the immediate Alyssa/Farwell
neighborhood nearest the Outlot.

3. Removal from Future Open-Space Development Planning
Given the site’s environmental constraints (including historic flooding) and its historical
significance, removing it from future development planning would:
•

Prevent investment in land unsuitable for built amenities,

•

Align planning documents with current land use realities, and

•

Support long-term stewardship of the natural area.

Requested Committee Action
I request that the Committee place this item on an upcoming agenda for discussion and
possible action. Specifically:
•

Review the historical information regarding the Thaden Farm,

•

Evaluate the suitability of formal green-space designation,

•

Consider directing staff to draft language and cost estimates for a historical
marker, and

•

Discuss amending relevant planning documents to remove the parcel from future
development consideration.

Conclusion
The Outlot 5 and Thaden Natural Area represent a unique intersection of Cottage Grove’s
agricultural history and its modern conservation values. Taking steps to formally recognize
and preserve this land would honor the community’s past while ensuring responsible
stewardship for the future.
I would like to also extend my appreciation to Paula Severson, Sara Steele, and the Cottage
Grove Area Historical Society for their assistance in researching the Thaden family and
farmstead.
Please let me know if additional background materials or draft language are needed for
Committee review.

RE:

Overview of Federal 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

BACKGROUND
The ‘21st Century ROAD to Housing Act’ was signed into law on July 11, 2026. This
memo is intended to provide an overview of this legislation and highlight potential
opportunities and impacts for the Village.
In large part, the act modifies numerous existing programs to streamline processes and
amplify results. The intent is to increase housing supply and reduce housing costs
nationwide.
The full text of the legislation can be found here: link
OVERVIEW
The following summary comes from the Bipartisan Policy Center’s ‘What’s in the 21st
Century ROAD to Housing Act? A Section by Section Summary of the Final Law.’ The
text in red was added by Village Staff to provide commentary on how various sections
may relate to the Village. Not all sections are expected to have a direct impact and may
not have added commentary.

Meeting Date: October 6, 2026

Title 1 – Opportunities for Housing
Sec. 101 – Reforms to Housing Counseling and Financial Literacy Programs
• Clarifies the authority of HUD to evaluate the performance of housing
counseling agencies and counselors, to require additional training, and to
revoke certifications.
Sec. 102 – Federal Guidelines for Point-Access Block Buildings*
• Directs HUD to establish guidelines for point-access block buildings to help
states, tribes, territories, and localities permit residential buildings with a single
internal stairway for up to six stories.
•

Allows HUD to award competitive grants for pilot projects testing the safety,
feasibility, or effectiveness of single-stair multifamily buildings, sunsetting after
seven years.

•

The Village uses State of Wisconsin building and fire codes. If single-stair multistory buildings become allowable under state codes they will be permitted in
the Village. The benefit of a single-stair building is reduced cost and increased
floor plan efficiency. Presumably the research will investigate what
compensation measures will be required in such buildings to ensure safe
emergency egress.

Sec. 103 – Exemption on Construction or Modification of Residential Housing
Located on an Infill Site*
• Exempts Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance for infill housing
development from federal environmental review requirements.
•

Due to high median household income the Village does not typically qualify for
USDA grants.

Sec. 104 – Database of Publicly Owned Land
Requires all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients to publish a
searchable, publicly accessible online database of undeveloped land parcels owned
by the grantee.
• The Village is part of the Dane County Urban County Consortium for access to
CDBG funds. Dane County would likely provide this information with input from
member communities.
Sec. 105 – FHA Small-Dollar Mortgages

Village of Cottage Grove

-2-

Meeting date: June 15, 2026

•

Allows HUD to establish a pilot program to expand access to mortgages under
$100,000 backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), with the pilot
program sunsetting after four years.

Sec. 106 – Temperature Sensor Pilot Program
• Creates a HUD pilot program for three years to provide grants to public housing
authorities (PHAs) and owners of federally assisted rental housing to install
temperature sensors, encouraging compliance with temperature-related
housing quality standards.
Sec. 107 – Housing Supply Frameworks*
• Directs HUD to publish guidelines and best practice frameworks for state and
local zoning and land-use policies.
•

Dane County and Vandewalle and Associates worked with local staff (including
from the Village) and other stakeholders to create a zoning best practices guide
for local municipalities. While the Village should track HUD efforts in this area,
the locally produced guide offers more immediate value.

Title 2 – Building More in America
Sec. 201 – Increasing Housing in Opportunity Zones
• Allows HUD to prioritize projects based in or primarily serving communities
designated as Opportunity Zones for any competitive grants relating to housing
development or preservation.
•

Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities designated by
census tract where new investments may be eligible for preferential federal tax
incentives. The Village of Cottage Grove does not have a qualifying census tract.

Sec. 202 – Whole-Home Repairs Act*
• Creates a HUD pilot program to support state, local, and tribal whole-home
repair programs, which provide grants and forgivable loans to homeowners and
landlords for home repairs and modifications.
•

Village should track progress of this program and explore opportunities that may
arise from the HUD program.

Sec. 203 – Community Investment and Prosperity Act*
• Raises the cap on bank public welfare investments, including those in
affordable housing and community development projects, from 15% to 20%.
Village of Cottage Grove

-3-

Meeting date: June 15, 2026

•

Bank public welfare investments must primarily benefit individuals or areas with
low- to moderate-incomes, or government-designated redevelopment zones,
and therefore may be of limited applicability in the Village.

Sec. 204 – Addition of Affordable Housing Construction as an Eligible Activity*
• Allows CDBG funding to be used for the construction of new affordable housing.
•

The Village is part of the Dane County Urban County Consortium for access to
CDBG funds. The Village should track opportunities to utilize this funding.

Sec. 205 – Better Use of Intergovernmental and Local Development (BUILD)
Housing Act*
• Authorizes HUD to treat certain housing assistance as “special projects” to help
simplify compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
•

Expands HUD’s authority to delegate certain environmental review
responsibilities to states, local governments, and tribes.

Sec. 206 – Unlocking Housing Supply Through Streamlined and Modernized
Reviews Act*
• Streamlines the NEPA review process for a broad range of federally supported,
housing-related activities by expanding categorical exclusions.
Sec. 207 – Grants for Planning and Implementation Associated with Affordable
Housing
• Creates a competitive grant program at HUD to help state, local, and tribal
governments, as well as regional planning agencies, implement planning and
community development activities. These activities include updating regulatory
processes, increasing capacity to conduct inspections, and coordinating
housing development with transportation planning.
•

Village should track grant program implementation, review eligibility, and seek
opportunities for participation.

Sec. 208 – Innovation Fund
• Creates a $200 million annual competitive grant program for local governments
and tribes that demonstrate measurable increases in housing supply,
incentivizing reforms such as streamlined permitting, density bonuses, and
zoning changes. The program sunsets after seven years.

Village of Cottage Grove

-4-

Meeting date: June 15, 2026

•

Village should track grant program implementation, review eligibility, and seek
opportunities for participation.

Sec. 209 – Accelerating Home Building Act*
• Provides grants to local governments and tribes to select and implement prereviewed housing designs (such as accessory dwelling units, duplexes, or
townhouses) to streamline affordable housing construction, with 10% of total
funding reserved for rural areas and a five-year window for adoption.
•

Village should investigate working with home builders to pre-approve designs, or
investigate opportunities to do this on a county-wide or regional basis.

Sec. 210 – Revitalizing Empty Structures Into Desirable Environments (RESIDE)
Act*
• Creates a pilot grant program to help local governments convert vacant
commercial or industrial buildings into affordable housing, prioritizing
economically distressed areas and Opportunity Zones.
•

Limited applicability in Village as there are few long-term vacant buildings, no
Opportunity Zones, and likely no areas that would qualify as economically
distressed.

Sec. 211 – Housing Affordability Act*
• Updates statutory maximum loan limits for FHA multifamily mortgages and
reforms the formula used to set them.
•

May benefit multi-family developers that propose projects in the Village, but the
Village is not an FHA mortgage holder.

Sec. 212 – Rental Assistance Demonstration Program
• Lifts the RAD program cap by 100,000 units and extends protections for tenants
in RAD buildings.
Sec. 213 – Build Now Act*
• Ties some localities’ CDBG funding to their housing production, including
bonuses for accelerated homebuilding and small funding reductions for lagging
grantees.
