Motion passes. Excuse me. Next, we'll go on to presentations. May 18th through the 24th is Public Works Week and they're using the jingle of building for today, planning for tomorrow. And I'd like to call Dave Bebel up to give us infrastructure review and a little bit of what's been going on lately at the Public Works Department in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Thank you, Mayor. Here real quick. It's my pleasure to present to you this presentation basically on the state of the infrastructure in the city of Sheboygan, some of the challenges that we're facing and hopefully give you a better understanding of some of the challenges that we in the Public Works profession face in cities. So I'll get right into it. I know there's a lot of information. I'm gonna go pretty fast to keep everyone on, keep everyone's time and consideration here. So real quickly. Our vision and it's to provide a professional Public Works organization that will offer quality infrastructure and services in a sustainable way that will contribute to making Sheboygan a desirable place to live, work and play. And that goes right into our mission, which is to improve the quality of life by effectively developing, maintaining and improving the infrastructure, natural resources and community services. Public Works is divided into five divisions. Administration and engineering, buildings, grounds, electrical, motor vehicle, parks, forestry and cemetery, streets and sanitation and wastewater treatment. Tonight we have some of our superintendents of those divisions, Ryan Sasmar, city engineer in the back, Sharon Teeson, our wastewater superintendent, Joel Colste, our streets and sanitation superintendent and Joel Curlin, our parks and forestry and cemetery superintendent. Financing of Public Works on an annual basis, 20 million dollars roughly for the city of Sheboygan, for all those divisions. Some vital statistics for our community. We're over 150 years old. We're 14 and a half square miles in size. I like to describe that as we're about two to two and a half miles wide by seven miles long. We go to the interstate to the lake, north and south. We have 200 centerline miles of streets in the city of Sheboygan. 16 bridges, 170 miles of sanitary sewers with an additional 102 miles of storm sewers. 45 signalized intersection, approximately 15,000 signs. We have 1,300 streetlates owned by the city. 5,000 to 6,000, however, are owned by Alliance Energy, which we lease. Annually, we pick up 15,000 tons of garbage, with 3,800 tons being recycled, in addition to that, so around 18,000 pounds. Every week, we make 18,000 stops to pick up garbage in the city. We have 33 parks with almost 700 acres. We have 27,500 street trees. Those are the trees between the sidewalk and the curb. Annually, we bury between 175 to 200 people at the Wildwood Cemetery, which is city-owned. And daily, we treat 12.3 million gallons of sewage. So, real briefly, introductory statements. The city of Sheboygan, overall infrastructure condition is average to good in many of the areas. As I mentioned, we're 150 years old, and as the city ages, so does our infrastructure. Sheboygan is not unique in that aspect with other infrastructure conditions throughout our nation. A little history lesson. After World War II, the city experienced rapid growth, not only in population, but in development, and in development of housing, roads, and sewer and water system parks, and everything was being expanded after World War II. And during these years, after these years, as I said, we were in expansion mode, and basically focused our city resources on expanding to meet that need. This graph here shows that in basically, in the 30s and 40s, not much development, but shortly after the war, going up through peaking in the mid-70s, early 70s, excuse me. I'm not sure if... The number of streets paved in the city was at its peak. Again, showing that we are growing along with the city at that time. Since then, as you can see, we haven't had much need to expand our resources. Here's some photos. I just want to give you a kind of a perspective and history and thinking of some areas. This is a Noel Crest Drive near 18th Street back in 1971. It's a gravel road at that point. We just probably put in the sewer system, laid out some roads for lots to be developed. And that's what it looks like today. Concrete, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street trees, signs, another before and after. This is South, this is Greenfield Avenue on the south side of Sheboygan, looking east at the intersection at Greenfield. You can see housing being introduced in the subdivision, gravel roads, utilities were just recently installed. And that's a picture of it today again. And one last one like this. This is South 12th Place, looking at South High to the north in this picture. You got one house in that area. Again, this is what it is today. And it's about 40, 45 years after the fact. So the life cycle of infrastructure. As I mentioned about, talked about the expansion of it. New utilities, expanding roads, building it. Then it shifts to maintenance. We have to maintain that infrastructure once it's built. It has a life cycle. It has a lifespan, it has to be maintained. And it can be maintained for only such a period before it has to be finally reconstructed. We've developed an indexes for the condition of our infrastructure. This is one example, pavement condition index. We use this to rate all of our city streets on a scale from 100 to zero. 100 being good, as you see in zero to 10 being failing. It's important because the cost of timely maintenance and on this graph, what you'll see here is that, is that if we perform maintenance early at the right optimal time on pavements, for instance, or in any of our infrastructure, this can be said, is that the cost of doing it is incrementally smaller than waiting for it to get further deteriorated. And if we don't time it, and it gets to that point, it's gonna be anywhere triple to four times more expensive to perform any type of repairs. That's ultimately our goal. Unfortunately, a city this size, we can, I'm sure you're all experienced with this yourself, just driving around the city. Many of our streets are beyond the point of doing our basic maintenance. We're in that area where it's costly. This is just of graph showing real quickly the pavement condition index. The pavements into 2000s, they're great. Highest rated, 90s are still high. The pavements that were put into 1980s are still very good. Then we have a flat section from the 80s to the 50s, about a 30 year period. Ideally, we wanna be hitting those streets and getting them maintained, resurfaced, and extending their life cycle. When we get to the 50s and beyond, it starts getting to that point in the curve where we're looking at more expensive rehabilitation options, or if not reconstruction. Again, this is showing the linear streets that were paved when we were in the expansion mode. The next slide corresponds with the maintenance activities. High maintenance in the 70s because of all that stuff that was being put in during the 60s now needs to be maintained about a decade later. So this is the asphalt surfacing program. And you can see, not much activity through the 20s and 30s, but after that, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, we were doing quite a bit of resurfacing. However, as you can see, it's on a downward trend as well. This is an example of a maintenance strategy. This is resurfacing of Michigan Avenue, probably around the late 50s, early 60s. And you can see the Mayor's Seen Feed facility, and I like this picture because you can see the people standing there on the sidewalk leaning up against the building. And in 2005, it had to be reconstructed. And we still have the same guy sitting there at the corner there. So we talked about the three factors, expansion, maintenance, and reconstruction. They're not separate. They're constantly in their presence and they're constantly competing. And they're competing for the same dollar. And so what we need to do from our perspective is we need to balance that need to expand. We need to make sure we're maximizing our maintenance dollars and strategically reconstructing where it's best for the community. So where does that leave us? We are currently entering another phase of infrastructure management. Infrastructure that was expanded after the war is reaching the end of its life cycle. We'll require significant maintenance, in some cases total reconstruction. And as I mentioned, timing of that maintenance is critical. And ultimately our goal and the best use of city taxpayer dollars. And unfortunately, maintenance projects are typically not funded to the level needed due to conflicting uses, as I mentioned. As was shown in the graph earlier, the maintenance can extend that life cycle and defer the eventual reconstruction. And right now we're struggling to meet all those needs. As I mentioned, the city has over 200 miles of paved streets. The replacement value of that. Put this in perspective, if we had to repave every street, it's about a million dollars per mile. So at $200 million, we could probably get close to repaving our city streets. At $2 million a year invested in our street for street maintenance, it would take us 100 years to complete the city. Unfortunately our pavements don't last 100 years. So in total, if you total our streets, our sewers, sidewalks, street trees, the signs, you name it, the city's infrastructure is valued. Its replacement is between half a billion to a billion dollars for the city of Sheboygan if you added them all up. On average, we're spending around a million dollars annually on street improvements. The operating budget is around 3.25 million, which includes a portion of that street repair, but it also goes to street lighting, traffic, signal maintenance, snow removals included in that, street cleaning. Some projects that are gonna be coming up next year, the North 14th Street Bridge over the Sheboygan River, just south of Erie Avenue. That's gonna be a complete redec next year, as well as in 2017, we're looking at the reconstruction of Caliomet Drive from Main Avenue to North Avenue. And that's also planned. Both of those projects total around 4.5 million. We also have some other DOT projects coming up, North Avenue Reconstruction, which is scheduled for 2018. We're looking at repainting the 8th Street Bridge, the steel, that bridge is already over 20 years old. It needs to be repainted. So there's quite a bit of projects coming up in terms of the street needs. These pictures are of cured-in-place pipe. It's basically inserting a liner in our sanitary sewer system. We spend approximately 500 to 750,000 annually in sanitary sewers. The maintenance, that cured-in-place pipe system, it allows us to fix the pipes without digging up the streets, which saves significant money. Operating budgets for sanitary sewer maintenance and inspection repairs is approximately one and a half million annually. And we have over, again, 175 miles of sanitary sewer with approximately 4,900 manholes. Pipe sizes range from six inches in diameter to 60. Currently, we do not have the sanitary sewer system rated. We're actually starting a proposal. We're funding an engineering study to do just that in order to capture and inventory all of our sanitary sewer system and get a condition rating on it so we can make intelligent decisions in terms of what areas need to be repaired first. That'll be probably a five-year study. And we're looking to probably kick that off later this year and the next year and it's being funded through the wastewater treatment plant. 1998, we had a serious flood in the city of Sheboygan. As a result of that, we've made significant upgrades in our storm sewer system. Again, it has over 105 miles of storm sewer, 3,400 manholes are with that system. Over the past decade, we've invested over $15 million in stormwater management and storm sewer maintenance budget on average are right around 750,000 annually. Catch basins on the corner, you see sometimes they don't work while they're doing their, they collect debris and that's what they're supposed to do, collect debris but if they're not maintained and cleaned out, what happens is they get clogged like these photos show. This is what a cleaned catch basin should be like. It's unfortunate because we just have not been able to clean as many of these catch basins and you talk about the manholes, you look at catch basins are probably gonna be around anywhere from 7,000 to 8,000 different catch basins because there's four typically and an intersection. We're gonna get into city buildings real briefly. City buildings are another area within the public works department. The part of our city infrastructure, city hall here is gonna be 100 years old next year. As you're well aware of city hall, it is in need of some work. It needs a new roof. It needs tuck pointing that has structural issues. It doesn't have central air, it's very inefficient. So it's gonna be a topic within the next five to 10 years here in terms of a capital improvements programming issue. Forestry, forestry is gonna be a major issue real coming up soon with the emerald ash borer. It's around our area, it's just a matter of time it's gonna reach the borer again. And as mentioned, 20 some thousand street trees, approximately 5,000 of them are ash. And that's just in our street trees. It doesn't count the ones that are in the parks or even on private property that are gonna be an issue for us to handle. Parks, park systems in fairly good condition but yet there are several areas such as some of our bathrooms and some of our playground equipment that doesn't really meet the needs of the community or the ADA standards. So again, capital improvements will be showing a plan to address those in the future. And wastewater treatment. Our facility is approaching 40 years old. It has a life cycle just as much as the rest of our infrastructure as we talked this evening. Replacement costs, if we had to build a brand new wastewater treatment facility, it's probably close to a hundred million dollars to replace that facility. We have maintained and done a tremendous job in terms of maintaining and upgrading that system at the treatment plant and been very fortunate to do some great innovative energy efficient programs. But nevertheless, we still have to be diligent and work towards maintaining that facility because it's far too great of an asset to let deteriorate to a point where it becomes insurmountable to fix. But I'd just like to close with a couple of statements that public works, we have a long history of constant improvement and implementing efficient programs to meet the objectives set forth by the budget and the Common Council. I'll give some examples. Population really hasn't grown as you're going in. It's only 6% since 1970. But the area of the city, the area by 50% was 9.6 square miles. Now it's up to almost 14 and a half square miles. The miles the city streets has grown from 1970 was only 143 and a half miles to over 200 today. And Park acreage has nearly doubled to 700 acres from 347 back in 1970. And all these changes have occurred while the department staff has been reduced by over half. In 1970, the department had 216 full-time employees. Today we have 100. And I gotta tell you that the 100 employees that we have are some of the fantastic employees that I would love to work with, I tell you. We've been through some tough times. We've had reductions in the department, but they still offer suggestions. We get the job done. And we're still trying to meet all those levels of service that we did when we had 30 extra people. Lastly, I just want to close with some transformation pictures. Sea rice coal property back probably in the late 50s, early 60s. Outlooked in 1995, the A Street Bridge is being constructed in the aerial view of that peninsula today. Pretty interesting in transformation of a betterment to our community. And lastly, I want to close with the infrastructure investment, and it's a constant struggle between financing expansion and maintaining what we have. Thank you. David, thank you very much for that presentation and to all your staff for all the great work that they do. Are there any public forum for this evening? Yeah, I'm just gonna switch it. Okay. Okay. Public forum this evening, we have one person and that would be Jeff Schucho. Jeff, if you're here, could you come on up? Thank you. Can I have your home address, please? Thank you, pardon me. Can I have your home address, please? Yes, 2508 Indiana Avenue. Okay, and you will have five minutes, sir. Thank you very much. I just wanted to stop in this evening and talk to everyone, and first of all, thank you for this opportunity, mayor, council members, and citizens at home about some stories I've seen in the Sheboygan Press lately and discussed on the radio too about internet access improvements that may come about soon. And I was really excited to hear about this. I believe it was an article in yesterday's paper about the city, county, and the school system working on providing a fiber optic system that we would all share together, which I thought was a great idea to share the cost and improve the services. And the reason I'm stopping and mentioning this tonight is because some businesses along with my own have kind of been left with substandard outdated internet access. I, for one, have no fiber optic access at all, and I've asked for it for a few years now. And what we do have are overextended lines in DSL and actually the cable access that we have. And I don't know much about this sort of thing. I went to school before there were computer classes, but I run a company out of my home where my business is located also. And what I ended up with was some pretty serious problems. I had credit card numbers stolen off my internet. My system's been hacked. And what I was told by some technicians that I had check it out is with these overextended lines, your upload and download speeds can be really seriously affected to the point where your virus protections and your computer don't even work properly. And I got hacked. I had credit card numbers stolen, like I said. And I thought this would be, with this being considered, I would really appreciate it. And a couple other businesses in my area, too, have had some pretty serious problems. If those services could be worked on for businesses along with the school system, I would really appreciate it. With my company, I've received the first full patent on a migratory vertebrate product that we now have on the market. I have three other patents I'd like to work on. But unfortunately, I had to drop all my internet services. They're not really trustworthy. So if there's anything anybody could do to help move that program along, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you, Jeff. Under Mayor's announcements, I'd like to start out with a retirement recognition. Bob Wallace is with us today. He'll be retiring from the Sheboygan Police Department on June 3rd. After serving the city of Sheboygan for 29 years in that role, Bobby Grant, again, his career in law enforcement in 1981, working part-time for Silver Lake Police Department. He completed a recruit school at MATC in 1982 and then took positions with Pleasant Prairie and Twin Lakes Police Departments prior to being hired by the Sheboygan Police Department on June 24th of 1985. During his tenure, he worked in undercover capacity with the county drug unit. He was an advisor to the police department explorer post and was a training field officer and then spent 10 years as a member of the emergency response team. He was promoted to sergeant in June 20th of 1995, lieutenant on February 6th of 1998 and captain on January 4th of 2002. During his past 29 years, he's been involved in many investigations from homicides to robberies, burglaries and thefts, but it's the little things as an officer does that truly demonstrate their dedication to the city and its coworkers. Several of them provided me with a few insights on how who Bob really is. As a field training officer, Bob was patrolling the city on a cold winter night with a new rookie and the roads were covered with ice. As they approached the corner of South 12th Union, Officer Wallace stopped the squad. The rookie asked, what are you doing? Bob exited the squad and he began to spread sand from the DPW box throughout the intersection. Wallace returned and told the rookie that the provision of accidents means that you get to go home on time plus the citizens won't start their day with an unfortunate experience. Another time a frustrated rookie officer told Bob Wallace how a suspect had escaped from his arrest. Bob convinced the rookie to return with him to the address where the suspect had last been seen. And when the rookie and another officer continued to search for the suspect until he was found hiding in a rolled up carpet in a basement stairwell, he was finally taken into custody. In December of 93, Bob investigated a home burglary in the Farmsworth neighborhood. The burglary occurred just prior to Christmas and most of the Christmas presents were stolen from under the victim's Christmas tree. He was able to talk to some neighbors and develop a group of suspect children who lived about a block away. Subsequently, following up on this investigation led to the discovery of the stolen presents and confessions from the teenage children. Steve Cobb, who worked with Bob on this case, said that when they walked back into the victim's home with those presents and saw the reaction on that family, he said, well, it was one of the most memorable moments of my career, and I'm sure it was for Bob too. Most importantly, there are countless stories of Bob Wallace having contact with someone who was down on their luck and needing a helping hand rather than a lecture. Bob would secretly help them out or attempt to connect them with someone who could help them turn their luck around. He was the type of person under the uniform that people respected. Captain Wallace has been involved in many law enforcement changes over the last 29 years. His most recent effort being Wisconsin Act 79, which was signed into law by Governor Walker this year. He worked tirelessly with our area legislators and others to create a law that strengthens the law enforcement's role in working with the Department of Corrections and the supervision of offenders that are placed back into our community. Captain Wallace has been involved in many big cases and achieved much during his career, but we will miss the most is his good judgment, his deep concern for his community, and the strong sense of empathy that he has for others. Bob, would you please come forward to accept this citation? The Certificate of Appreciation by the City of Sheboygan is presented to Bob Wallace for 29 years of dedicated service from June of 85 through June of 2014. Bob, thank you so much, thank you. I'm very uncomfortable in this type of situation. I'm far more comfortable in the squad car, but I've written a few notes and I'll try to add maybe a little bit to help myself out a little bit. First of all, I'd like to thank the mayor and the common counsel for taking this time to recognize my service to the city and the community. I really appreciate it. I feel very lucky and I'm very proud to have been a member of the Sheboygan Police Department. The department truly is a great place to be a police officer and I'm very thankful that I chose Sheboygan as a place to live and work. My 29 years in the Sheboygan Police Department, a total of 34 in law enforcement, has been just as rewarding, challenging, and interesting as I could have imagined it would be way back in 1980. As a police officer, as any police officer has, I've seen my share of tragedy and people at the very worst times of their lives. It has been a privilege to be in a place in a position of trust where I could try to make those times better in some way or to have the opportunity to restore some measure of justice for crime victims. One of the basic tenements of community-oriented policing is teamwork and collaboration, working together with citizens, other departments, and community organizations to achieve shared goals. One of the few frustrations that I have as I leave the police department is after 29 years of service and working with so many people. I owe such a debt of gratitude and thanks to so many people for their teamwork, for their teamwork, their help, and support that I know I won't be able to thank all of them personally. So to all of you that are out there listening and have worked together with me over the years, I thank you. To Chief Domagalski, I would like to say thank you for your strong leadership of the police department and for making the needs of the community your highest personal and organizational priority. Under your direction and guidance, the Sheboygan Police Department and its personnel are frequently being recognized for their good work and are increasingly being called upon as trainers around the state. Most importantly, the Sheboygan continues to be a very safe community, and that is a great reflection upon the citizens of Sheboygan, you and the men and women of the Sheboygan Police Department. Personally, I can say it has been a pleasure both working with you and learning from you. To my coworkers in the Sheboygan Police Department both past and present, I can say it has truly been an honor and privilege to serve among so many dedicated and talented men and women over the past 29 years. I would like to thank all of the officers, dispatchers, and support staff who have made work at the Sheboygan Police Department so interesting, enjoyable, and challenging. I know that I have failed to tell you frequently enough how proud I am of the important work. That all you do, please support each other as you go about your important duties and be safe. Over the past several years, I've worked together with many of the city department heads and their staff members on shared projects or goals. I have to tell all of you in the various city departments how grateful I am for all of your service and help and your can-do attitude as we approach these difficult problems. To the citizens of Sheboygan, I would like to thank you as well for the opportunity to serve you as a police officer. Finally, and I say the most important for last, I would like to thank my fiance, Tamara Remington, and her children, Emily and Lucas, and my sons, Michael and Steven, for their support and understanding during my years of police service. The sacrifice made by the family of police officers is something that they live every day and is very special and most commendable. So thank you to y'all, appreciate it. On January 16th of 1967, this common council of the city of Sheboygan recognized and endorsed a sister city relationship with Esslingen. At that time, they said that with the hope that this will lead to an lasting friendship between the peoples of Sheboygan and Esslingen, Germany. Throughout the years, I believe that this desire and intent of the common council has been fulfilled. During the past 47 years, different mayors with the help of interested residents have had the privilege and responsibility of keeping this relationship strong and meaningful. I extend a special thanks to the common council's mayors, previous members of the international committee, the former mayors, the people of the people organization, and all who have helped nurture and strengthen our very special sister city relationship with our friends in Germany. Tomorrow, my wife, Julie, and I will travel with a group of 24 Sheboygan residents and a trip to Esslingen to Renew and strengthen this relationship. We look forward to meeting our German hosts and learning more about each other. I feel strongly about maintaining our sister city partnership and look forward to this exchange. This trip will reaffirm our city's commitment as a community to our friends in Esslingen and show that we value this partnership. Whether it's through visits like this, a student exchange program, this partnership exemplifies citizen democracy and global cooperation at a level that helps to promote respect, goodwill, understanding of cultures, and the appreciation of diversity.

Under discussion, David, would you like to step forward? Yeah, I think you've probably all seen we actually, the work is already undertaking and it's under construction as we speak. It was a serious situation and we've worked over the weekend and it became evident over this weekend as we started exposing it with the equipment that it was a serious situation. The sidewalk and some of the street panels are completely undermined, no supporting substructure. We're very fortunate one of those panels hasn't caved in causing some serious concern. Right now, the contractor's working, we're estimating between 125 to 150,000 for this repair. Any other discussion? Would the clerk please call the roll for passage? Mark, 13 ayes. Motion passes. Next is a scheduled closed session. Alderman Hammond. Oh, we have to go to other matters first. I'm sorry. City Attorney.
