An Uncertain Funding Picture for the Pauline Haass Public Library

Page 1 of 6

Library board offers town mediation. (Sussex Sun, 10/8/2013)

Step 1.   Town of Lisbon Board decides to accept or reject Pauline Haass Public Library Board's offer for nonbinding mediation to resolve dispute over land.

Step 2.  If the Town opts to reject, attorneys for the library will file a lawsuit in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Step 3.  Without an out-of-court settlement after lawsuit is filed, the long-term funding agreement between the Village of Sussex and the Town of Lisbon is probably kaput.
