Letters from the Assessor regarding your 2022 property assessment were mailed out the week of June 6th.  Each property should have received a letter from the Assessor with their new assessment.  This year, the Assessor completed a Village-wide revaluation of properties in Greendale. A revaluation is a review of all assessments using current market sales and trends in order to arrive at an estimated fair market value of each property as of January 1^st of the year of the revaluation.  The last revaluation for the Village of Greendale was conducted in 2018.

 

At the May 24th Village Board meeting the Board voted to change the meeting start time of the Regular Board meetings from 7:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  This was done to try to be more accommodating to community members and Village staff.  This change will begin with the June 7th Board meeting.

In the Budget the Village Board added approximately $5 million in additional funding for Capital projects in 2022.  The additional funding will help the Village catch up on deferred maintenance for road rehabilitation, street lighting, water mains and pathways.  A list of projects were bid out, including a number of alternate projects that would be considered depending on how bid pricing came in.   The Board reviewed and approved the bids at their meeting on February 15th.  All projects that were bid out will be completed in 2022.

In 2023, the Village will be celebrating its 85th Anniversary.  The Village Board created a subcommittee of the Public Celebrations Committee to plan for special events to celebrate the Villages 85th.  The Village is seeking volunteers to serve on this Committee.

The Village Board approved a resolution at their June 1st meeting that will work to acquire the restrictive covenants governing the 100-acre Southridge Mall property and extinguish those which encumber all parcels associated with the mall and significantly limit redevelopment opportunites.

The remaining two finalists participated in a battery of examinations, which included an open forum with residents.
