 I'll call the public parks meeting to order. Susan Salazar is here, Susan Slavill is here, and we have Jim Bourne is excused, and Gracia is excused. Yeah. Okay, let's start with the public relations to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay, so that was 2.1 approval of minutes from July 27th. Move to approve the minutes for our last meeting. Second. We'll just make it in the second, and then any discussion on the minutes. All in favor? Aye. Chair votes aye. The minutes are approved. 3.1, direct referral resolution, authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a permanent easement underground utility easements and a temporary easement between the city of Chevrolet and its border water commissioners. That are specific to the new raw water improvements project. Right there. Yes, Mr. Chairman. Joe Trudeau from the Water Utility is on the conference here, the committee virtually, and Joe Curlin, Superintendent of Parks and Forestry really kind of expedited this through a process through the Marina Parks and Forestry Commission along with Thomas Cameron's guidance in terms of following a process that is outlined by the Municipal Code for granting such an easement in park lands. So if, Joe, you just wanna maybe just give a little background with the introduction and background on the IFC and what the process was and what the recommendation out of that Marina Parks and Forestry Commission is and I guess the approval that we're looking forward to this evening. So this came before the Public Works Department with all the easements needed short-term and long-term and it would under section 7428, it was referred to the Marina Parks and Forestry because there's parts of it have a long-term lease agreement, a use agreement for the parks and this is concerning Valrath Park, full number 13, which is a pretty significant hole down by the lake. So it, we held, working with Thomas, we held three public hearings, 16th, 17th and 18th at three different times. There were no, nobody there to speak at all three. The first one, Joe Trueblood gave a very good PowerPoint of explaining why it was needed for the city and then what it would look like and where it's going. David along with the water utility and myself for several months we're already working with representatives of the disc golf group, Dennis Wild who runs the shack there and other members. We have a consultant on board to look at the park itself, not only to help replace hole number 13 or maybe try to use it in some way to kind of have that lake look but also to look at the whole layout itself and how we can improve everything. So put a significant amount of time and fees into it and we're still in the process of doing that. So they were really already new. Yeah, you know, we're losing a really nice hole but we know, we understand why and we understand that the city's already doing something for us to try to really make things better. So it was approved unanimous, monthly at the Marine Parks and Forestry to make a recommendation to move it on to the public works department. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, this is something that's just necessary. I mean, and I think the fact that there wasn't anyone speaking in it because of the fact that people realize it just has to happen. I mean, not everyone may be happy about it but it's one of those things that just has to happen. May I ask you a question? Sure, go ahead. Thank you. This one's going to return to our attorney in the room. Looking at these easements, the second paragraph down says, known all men by these possess and all capitals. Would it still be a legal document that would have the same effect if the word men was replaced with persons? Yes. Can we do that? Well, the commitment itself. Yes, we can make that tweak. Okay. Do I need to make an amendment to make that happen or can it just happen? My concern with if you make an amendment to be a process in section 74-2A is whether that sort of insignificant in the grand scheme of things as it would be, does that now require us to go back because it's now a different thing. I don't think anyone wants that to occur. That is why I'm asking this question. So, I would say the best practice would probably be to not make an amendment, to not sort of cloud that. And I have heard the thought and I'm not hearing opposition from anyone else. I'm just curious what's the difference, but why change it? I think why are we asking them? Just for equality sake. Because there could be women that also. Oh, it says men. Yeah, not so. Oh, okay, I'm all for it. Okay. I'm so rough right now. Let's take some time. Yeah, it was written that way because that's how legal documents have been written forever, which doesn't make it right. But there's also a tenet of construction at this point where men is a sort of a genderless term in that sense where it says men, but it means persons. Yeah, so. And who versus mankind, correct. They look to a group. Okay. Motion's being seconded. Any other discussion on this? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Chair votes aye. That is passed. Good job. I'm curious to be a group. They're like super happy and feel engaged and they're poodles. Oh, good. You're right. Thank you. Okay. Three by two. Resolution number 40, 2122 on second 2021, document 4.4a resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a lease agreement between the city of Shavuagin, the LHMA environmental park association of Shavuagin County Incorporated and the Shavuagin area school district. Chairman, I'm going to defer to again, Supervisor in the parks of Forestry, Joel Curlin. Okay. And he could give a little background on this. And Warner High actually has been using Maywood for several years now. So we've basically, I think this is the third time coming around to have an agreement with Warner High. They're hurting for some little extra space. They bring in their believe math class, science classes. They use the older part, which is the ecology center, environmental lab area, the programming and they do a lot of outdoor assignments too. So they, like for math and science, they take what's in the book and they apply it to outside situations and with the water. And so it's been good for Warner High. They definitely want to come back this year and use it. It's been a great source of revenue for Maywood and they've been very respectful. So there's been no concerns. The teachers have been great. The kids have been great. So we'd like to go ahead and have this agreement again for a school year. They, $1,111 per month is a rental. They're not there five days a week for the full school days. It varies a little bit, some half days, a full day or two, but so it's been a good situation and for everybody. Mr. Markus, I have another contract question here. Rent number seven. Swing in your school district will pay half of the rent by check on the honor before the first of each month, beginning September 1st. No payment shall be required for the month of June 1st. So the second half due. Did I miss that part in here? Or do they only have to pay half the rent? Really interesting question. So is the date been paying at all? So yeah. So the only revision to this lease from last year's are changing the dates. So interestingly, we've approved it that way for several years, it looks like. They still would owe the whole amount, but it just says there's no penalty if they only pay 50% each month and then like the rest of it at the end, maybe, who knows? And the payment goes directly to Maywood. Correct, yes. Correct. So they'd be the ones to flag us, flag Warner. Maywood's responsible for the checks coming in. Yes, yes. There's no issues. It's just, we haven't defined what the rest of the second half is. Public activity, it's not. Do we need to? Yeah. Yeah, so I believe this one has been approved by the school district already. Given that I'm not aware of an issue with them not making payment, Joe, you know if there's been an issue. No, no, I don't. So I will make a note from next year. We'll get that cleaned up. But again, so that it doesn't have to go back to the school district to get a new version approved. Move to approve. I'm comfortable with it, I'd say yes. Second. Oops, this has been seconded. I guess I have one more. So why are they looking at half of it? Or are they just painful anyways? I would almost assume why they would be be cutting two checks. Right. Yeah. They're not even cutting as much as we is. Yeah. So I guess that's. Any other discussions? They used this base during quarantine during like a condition of coming back. They used it somewhat, but not as much. Not as much. Then that's it. All rules in favor? Aye. Aye. Any approval? The chair will tie and that is approved. Okay. 3.3 resolution 47, 21, 22, August 16th, 2021. Back with 5.3 a resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to accept the grant from the Schubert County Stewardship Fund and a grant from restoration of our tree, Shewigan, for emerald grass or mitigation. Mr. Chairman, again, I'm going to also defer to Bill Curlin, person, forestry superintendent, and I'll take your time. I've got a question for a bit. Captain, what he was saying. And I turn it to my mind. I don't know that stuff. I used to charge. There we go. Sorry about that. That's okay. Learning how to negotiate. Yes. And Tim Bull, our city forester is also here present since he's been really active in this program. So between the two of them, so let them make a little small presentation on what this is concerning. Yeah. And early on, David, if it's okay, I'm going to turn it over to Tim. He worked very hard on this. He worked with both programs, helping to write the grants. And he went to both applications when they met with the people and asked questions. He worked very close with Tony to write these also. So basically, I want him to talk about it. I'll take it. So Tony Pester with Roots and I put together this grant. And we targeted, well, first off, Tony with Roots, we talked with him and they have great opportunities. So we talked about what I want to do this year and he thought that was great. And then he brought to my attention there's this county stewardship grant. So we said, well, let's try to get that. So it worked out we got the grant from the county stewardship. And then Tony with Roots, they also agreed to give us 10,000. So what this is is 25,000 total. And what it's going to do is it's going to pay for $10,000 worth of trees that are going to be planted this fall in nine of our parks where we cut down a hundred. It's going to be a hundred trees and we cut down a hundred ash trees within the last year or two. We ground all the stumps. So they're ready to be replaced. So those hundred trees that we put in this fall. So that's about $10,000 of it. The other 15,000 is going towards a bear root gravel bed which is going to be placed in the old impound yard in the backyard here. What it is is a space that's going to be pea gravel where you get trees in the spring you ordered bear root trees in the spring and you put them in this pea gravel and there's irrigation water lines on timers and they stay in there all summer until October, then we take them out and we plant them. And what it does is it takes a bear root tree in the spring and it accelerates the root growth like crazy or it goes from just normal roots to like this huge ball of fine root pears. And it greatly increases the chances of survival and it's kind of like jump starting and it's a nice safe place for them to stay there and then we can plant them in the fall. So the 15,000 is going to help pay for the work that needs to be done there. We're going to be putting in some water supply lines underground and then it's going to be paved and there'll be a little border block put in and some above ground plumbing and timers and the pea gravel is basically the costs. But the grant we applied for it, they need a $15,000 match, the stewardship does but we included next year's trees and the project materials. So we're going to be spending at least $30,000 on trees next year for it. And the materials is going to be, it's going to be no problem for us to spend our $15,000 work. So anyway, it's a great deal. The city of Racine has one. We're kind of copying theirs. Ours will be about the same size, maybe slightly bigger but they have one they've used for years and I went down there to see it and see how they do it and it just makes sense to buy these trees cheaper. We can get the Berra trees cheaper and they're much easier to have than not. Container either of all the Berlap tree. So it's cheaper, easier and it's going to be better with trees being in this gravel bed. How many trees will it fit? Yeah, so it'll fit approximately 560 or 580 trees when we did the spacing on the computer told us. Now my plan is to do 300 next year just to see how we can handle 300. And then if we can feel like we can do more and there's room, we'll do more the next year. But you have a picture of it that you can just, I do, yeah, how can I get that on my computer? Okay, yeah, I didn't know if you had one on your desk that you could just pass around quicker. That's all right, we can. I got a power point on my computer, I could grab it. Is it similar to what you would array it or in addition to what we have? No, right now, I guess I don't understand. We don't have anything. So that's why when we went on the tour, there was like a spot, was that the host of where it would be? Host of where it would be. So now we have to buy it and we have to get them planted like with a couple of weeks and keep them wet at the same time. So these we can kind of plant out our leisure also. Perfect, yeah, that's what it'll look like. Cool, yeah, this is great. Then if you go what they look like when you pull them out after sitting in there, the difference is just amazing. The city of Plymouth put one in two years ago, a small one. Okay. But theirs has been treating them really well. I think that's what they look like. I think it looks more like that. Yes, I think so. Oh, no red girl laying right away and then the container, they're getting used to going around and starting the red girl already and these are ready to go and all of that. So it's. Yeah, I want to get right from the tree. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's nice to see the trees the ones we did, we have planted already. It was disheartening to see a lot of ones go down, but it's nice to see some now coming around again. Now you're actually seeing some trees, some of the streets and stuff like that where there was nothing, now they're starting to be some trees again. So I'm all for this. So. Just like to say thanks to the Roots organization for donating the money and County for helping us out as well. Even though I guess that's for the TV, then just watch it. All right. And motion. Motion to approve. Second. Okay. Motion to approve. Seconded. Any other discussion on this? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. That is approved. That's a great three, maybe. Okay. 3.4, Resolution 4821-22, document 49.1, a resolution authorizing appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with Tweet Garrett Mechanical for the construction of improvements to the HVAC system at the wastewater treatment plant and to make related expenditures. Yes, Mr. Chairman. We have this evening with us, Steve Jasser, Superintendent of Wastewater Treatment Plant Operations and he's very excited about this project. Very excited. I'm gonna let him explain some of the particulars and details on this. Steve. So we have a, we're all the wastewater companies that's called well and it's made for people. It's designed for people to be down there, but it's also designed with continuous ventilation and that hasn't worked for a number of years. The ducts all rotted away and things. We don't go down there very often. Oh, that's scary. Only when we have to. So what this does is it removes the old unit and restores it. The grid room, that's where the rejects go from our screens that are on the door. So that's part of this ventilated with the same unit. So all it does is circulate some air coldly or no. So this will allow us to heat that building. Got some mold and stuff on the walls where we're gonna clean all that up, repaint it. And all the duct we're going, it'll be stainless so it doesn't rot because the other stuff's all corroded and falling down and things. So it'll clean all that up and replace it with two new units. So this is basically a safety thing. It is. Sure. More than anything. Yeah. It's for the wet well. The mic plug we're supposed to have a bouncy because it has a stairs access and everything to go down there. When we go down there, we take air monitors and kind of treat it as a confined space. If it's running as the point of base, they have to centigrade. Why haven't we fixed it sooner? Well, we finally got the money in the budget for this this year. Right. So we like to say it's not like we go down there every day, but you do have to go down there. So. Yeah, what's the proof? Okay. Most of it and seconded. Any other discussion on that? All those in favor? Aye. We oppose? Chair votes aye. That is approved. All right. Great training on. Yeah. 3.5 general ordinance number 21, 20, 21, 22, August 16th, 2021, document 7.3 in ordinance creating a no parking zone on the east side of North 9th Street north of center. Right there. So if we're going to go off familiar with city hall. Oh, yes. This first one would be to put a no parking zone on the side of city hall, mainly particularly in this area where this is an old area of photo because it has the old barge in the back that's not there. The building doesn't have the addition on. But anyway, we put the new monument sign says Sheboygan city hall in between. And there's two driveways. And what we're looking to do is there's probably a spot for like one car to sneak in there and park. And there's no meter there. And so we're looking so people don't park in front of this Sheboygan city hall sign in between the two driveways. This would prevent anyone parked there and blocked the view. And kind of the site line for entrance and exit out of the driveway of city hall. So that's what that this first one would create. Let me just try this real quick.
