Kenosha city officials have approved two key stormwater management agreements with the American Albanian Islamic Center of Wisconsin. The agreements were discussed during the Stormwater Utility Committee meeting held on October 5, 2026, at the Kenosha Municipal Building.
The first agreement outlines maintenance responsibilities for stormwater facilities located on the Center's property at 6001 88th Avenue. Under this agreement, the Center is required to perform yearly inspections and ongoing maintenance following city standards to ensure proper stormwater runoff management and prevent erosion or flooding.
The second agreement grants the City of Kenosha perpetual easements across portions of the Center’s real estate. This legal provision allows city officials and authorized personnel access for inspections, maintenance, and necessary repairs of the stormwater management facilities. The Center retains full rights to use the land, with temporary closures allowed for development or repair work.
Both agreements emphasize the Center’s duty to maintain the stormwater infrastructure in good working order and indemnify the city against claims related to facility failures. They also specify conditions for city interventions if maintenance is neglected and outline reimbursement procedures for corrective actions undertaken by the city.
These measures are part of the city’s ongoing efforts to manage stormwater runoff effectively, protect public safety, and comply with local ordinances. The highlighted agreements exemplify collaboration between municipal authorities and community organizations in maintaining vital infrastructure.
The Stormwater Utility Committee comprises Chairperson Bill Siel and alderpersons Peni Keeling, Julia Metallo, Anthony Kennedy, Brandi Ferree, and Dominic Ruffalo, who oversee policies related to stormwater management in Kenosha. The agreements for the American Albanian Islamic Center fall within District 17 of the city. This partnership aligns with the city’s dedication to environmental stewardship and infrastructure resilience.
