 Call the public works meeting to order today. We will start with the roll call. Alderborn here. Alderparala here. Alder Salazar. Is she online? No, not online. Alder Samoglio. Present. OK. All righty. All right, we'll start out with the Pudge of Allegiance. Pudge of Allegiance 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. OK, we'll start right out with 2.1. Approval of the May 25th minutes. Motion to approve. Second. Motion made and seconded. Any other discussion on that? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. Minutes are approved. OK, 3.1. Resolution number 2021-22, June 7th, 2021, document 4.5, resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to approve changes order number two to the agreement with Wunderer Construction Incorporated regarding Buttson Sports Complex. And Ryan, you can see her up on that. OK, this is the Buttson Sports Complex on the south side of town on Salt Business Drive. I assume everyone's probably familiar with it. Back in December of 2020, the city went into contract with Wunderer Construction for the initial construction of just pretty much the soccer fields for a contract of $331,000. And that was constructed over the winter. And during the process of construction, we had to add several more sediment basins just for DNR requirements. And that was a change order number 1 or $44,000. And with the state statute on a municipal project, we can't go over 15% over the original contract amount. And what we would like to do since the contractor wanted construction is still on site, we'd like to finish the construction of the stormwater facilities because then we're done with phase one. In order to do this extra work to solve all the DNR stormwater requirements, we need to change order for $26,000. So if you take that $26,000 along with the $44,000 and add it together, that'll put us over the 15% contract amount. In order to do that, to go over that 15% amount, we need approval from the common council to do that. But it just makes it just if we have to bid out this little $26,000 project, we're going to have to pay for mobilization costs if another contractor gets it. And it would just cost the city money. So we're just better off since the contractor's still on site, just to have them finish up the all the DNR stormwater requirements. And that's a big deal on a construction job like this. So that's why we're here asking for to go over that dollar amount. Basically, what you're saying is if you brought somebody else in, we'd be paying even how much more? A mobilization cost. The mobilization cost is going to be at least. Bringing everything back in again, we're going to cost, we're paying double almost on that. Exactly, exactly. Just to have a contractor show up, it's going to cost thousands of dollars. All righty. Any comments, questions on this? And if it wouldn't have been cheaper, including the stormwater work already from at the beginning? No, at the beginning, we just want to get the soccer fields in, bid those out just to make sure we had enough money to complete that. We didn't want to have too much work in that first original bid. We want to make sure we just had enough monies in there to actually get the fields built. And the prices came in really well. So we decided to add this stuff on. That was kind of our thought from the beginning. If the prices came in well, then we'd come back and ask to do this. Thank you. Jim, you had a question? Yes. I'll answer that. Capital improvements? Or where did that come from? Yes, Alderborn. This was in the capital improvements. And if you recall, this was in the program for several, several years. And the original funding actually came from tourism dollars that were within the city's portion. If you recall, a certain amount, 70% of room tax goes to the hotel and visits Cheboygan in that group in terms of marketing and promoting the tourism. 30% then comes to the city for debt repayment and economic development related to tourism. If you recall, one of the proposals with the organization running this is that with the tournaments they bring in, it would provide additional opportunities for those sports groups to stay in the community and stay in hotels so that it was originally 590,000 is what was allocated in a budget. So in this first phase, we're still within that original allocation, even with this change order. And if I could add about the stormwater, why wasn't it included in the beginning, there were actually two ponds going to be constructed as part of this project in additional future phases. With the redesign of this first phase, we're able to eliminate one of those and have only one pond, which moving forward should help us save on that, the future phases as well. So I hope that explains where the money. Just to follow up, David, where is the soccer organization now as far as their fundraising and that type of thing? And what we're doing right now, is that going to be pretty much the city's involvement and the rest is going to be the soccer organization? Or just give us an update on that. Yeah, we had a meeting about a month ago talking about this, this first phase, getting it established. Actually, there'll be another project coming in at the next public works meeting. We just opened bids on what is called the parking lot development. So it's going to be the initial grading and grappling of the parking lot this year yet. Then, yes, then once that gets done, the soccer group is meeting and they are developing a capital campaign, fundraising, refining their plans to go out and do a community campaign. And then from that point, they're going to spearhead this. So this is like the initial kickstart, get things going is my understanding, collaboratively work. I think there'll still be some partnership in terms of city organization in terms of maybe there could be some in kind. One of the things that was brought up and probably being more explained at the next meeting, but I might as well just give you advanced preview since we're on the subject this evening is potentially the city working with the county, purchasing, getting the asphalt and having the city pave it where it's much more cost effective, similar to what we do on our city project. So that's forecasting, but for today, and with this change order, again, that expands the sedimentation pond as city engineer, Savzma was explaining. And that gets it prepared for already the development of the parking lot, which is really the impetus or the driver of the retention pond in the first place. Since we're going to have more impervious area and drainage, it needs to go to the settlement pond. Will the parking lot, will that fall, will that be included in the half a million dollars or do you think that's going to be exceeded? Right now, it's very close where it's if anything given if we didn't have the DNR requirements, it probably would have been maybe around $25,000 gap, but right now it could be 50 to 60,000. We're still refining the numbers. And again, there may be an opportunity to partner with the organization on this next phase with the parking lot. Okay, thank you. Any other comments or questions? Move to approve. Second. Motion's made and seconded for the approval. Any other discussion on this? All right, all in favor. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. That is approved. Okay, 3.2, resolution 21, 21, 22, June 7th, 2021, document 4.6, a resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with Battain Peterson Construction Incorporated for the Union Avenue Reconstruction, Georgia Avenue to South 26th Street. This is a, I'm really looking forward to this. Okay, yeah, this is the Union Avenue. It's pretty much for the most part, located right in front of Horseman School. And really from Lake Michigan, all the way to Taylor Drive, this section hasn't been touched in decades. And it was originally scheduled to happen in spring of 2022. That's because Aurora was supposed to open up next year in October of 2022. So we would come in there, say in April of 2022 and get it done before they had their grant opening. And if you remember at the Common Council meeting, Aurora and I'll mention they're gonna open up in April of 2022. So the last thing we wanna do is be in there next year doing road work where they're having their grant opening for Aurora. So we wanna get in there this fall to finish this section. And it's the last section of Union Avenue that isn't done. You'll have a complete sidewalk then all the way from Lake Michigan all the way to Taylor Drive. So this project just got, just got expedited from next year to this year. Just makes sense, just to get it done. And this is gonna include sidewalks, you're great. Yeah, sidewalks just on the north side. Okay, yeah, that's been a request from many constituents for quite a while, so. And by having that connection, I think it's just gonna accelerate the use of the bike trail on Taylor Drive. Oh, I think so too, that's been requested for quite a long time. A lot of people have said that that's, it is a hazard to try to bike or anything along that section right now. It's basically a county road. It's not really given a regular city street, so. Right, if you go way back in the records, that's exactly what it was as a county road. It just got forgotten about, but now it's gotta be completed with the Aurora project. People are looking forward to it. Any questions, discussion? Marcus? Yeah, what got bumped so we could do this one? We were going to do some resurfacing on Washington Avenue, but we're gonna do that next year. Like resurfacing like from South Business Drive up towards Taylor. We're gonna remove some of that asphalt on there. Like around by Shoeigan Chevy, that area. So we bumped that till next year and we used some of the monies from that project. Thank you. Yeah. Jim? Yeah, too right. When it's reconstructed, because it's pretty narrow right now, you're gonna put in the sidewalks, but is the road itself gonna be wider than it is now? Yes, yes, and it's gonna have curb and gutter. Very good. Yeah, it's gonna be wider. Very good. Okay, any other questions, discussion? Move to approve. Second. Motion made and seconded. Any other discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? That is approved. Thank you. 3.3, 21, or 22, 21, 22. June 7th, 2021, document 4.7, resolution authorizing the, resolution informing the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, WDNR, that the 2020 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report, CMAR has been reviewed. Okay. Steve? Every year we have to put a report into the state, at which the CMAR, basically what it does is it gives a state an idea of where the treatment plan is as far as capacity and how it's being maintained. So it goes through various stages, including sewers, all the processes, and we've received an A grade for all of the subcategories. So, I don't know if anybody has any questions or anything in the report. Steve? I'm just curious, so you run the report, right? Or the DNR runs the report? Who beats, who grades you? Well, it's our data. I have to complete the report. A lot of it's pre-populated because we report data into the DNR every month. And then that results in the grading? They do the grading. Yeah, the grading is part of their report. So we input the data based off our data. So, for instance, say sanitary sewer backups. We tell them how many miles of sewer we have, how many backups there are. They calculate out how many backups per mile and they give you a grade. And now you are filing the report back to them? Right. In order to file a report, it has to be approved by the Common Council. Okay. Thank you. Anything else? Okay. I've been looking at this report for just a few moments here. This is where all the septic tanks go to your facility, too. Once they get pumped out and brought into your facility. Well, I mean, we do have waste haulers that come in. Marcus, yes. I always wondered where they went. Thank you. Yeah. Well, they just bought all the treatment plants except hauled-in waste. Yeah. So do we. Okay. Yeah. And congratulations on the grade A. Oh, thank you. It's nice to see that one. I remember a couple of years ago we had that one issue with that. We had one issue with the biosolids, yeah. Yes. So it's good to see a clean report. We like that. What's the proper course of action here? Do we have to, do we need to approve this? Yeah. Okay. Motion to approve. Second. Okay. All those in favor? Aye. Okay. All right. 3.4. General Ordinance number 8-21-22. June 7th, 2021. Document 6.5. Nordinance placing a stop sign at the northwest corner of south 7th Street and Lake Shore Drive. Yeah. This is the intersection over by real close to King Park just to the south of it. This is where south 7th Street ties into Lake Shore Drive. It's a T-intersection. Okay. So cars have to stop, stop anyways, because it's a T-intersection, but it is, it is a busy street. So to emphasize that south 7th Street has to stop, we're going to put up a stop sign. A lot of times at T-intersections, we just don't post a stop sign because it's a T-intersection, but well, I've had, I've had requests from some of the neighbors and so it just, it just makes sense. That's why we're going to install a stop sign there. Did you realize that there wasn't a stop sign there? No, there isn't. That's because it's a T-intersection. Okay. It would stop anyways, but. Yeah. So we'll have one there. So they're stopping on 7th or on Lake Shore? They're going to be stopping, they're stopping on 7th Street. On 7th. Because 7th is the one that ties into the, into the T-intersection. Yeah. Okay. Any other questions? I'm very glad about that. I have heard of that situation for years at the neighborhood association. Exactly. It's been part neighborhood association and people tend to speed on 7th, quite a bit. So that, that is going to be very good. And that's, and that's exactly where this request came from, was from the neighborhood association. It makes sense. Okay. Any. You have a motion? Moved or approved? Second. Okay. Any other discussion? All right. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? No. Aye. Aye. Aye. Okay. That's approved. Okay. 3.5. Order General Ordinance 9-2122, June 7th, 2021, document 6.6. Ordinance placing a stop sign at the northwest corner of South 14th Street and Broadway Avenue. I know our last public works meeting, we took South 14th Street from between Broadway and Georgia, but the Georgia Avenue reconstruction, we're going to put the signals at the corner of Georgia and drive this fall. And in order for that to function correctly, we need to make that one section to solve 14th Street between Broadway and Georgia, a two-way street instead of a one-way street. It's just going to function a lot better. And because we're making a two-way street, now we need a stop sign on the other end. That makes sense. And I would say when I was here two weeks ago making that a two-way street, I should add the stop sign then, but we'll be caught in now. So that's what we need to add it. That makes sense. Any questions on it? Do we? Has this resulted in any cost overruns because of your oversight? No. I don't know. We put a stop sign up already. Actually, it's already up, but... Move to approve. Second. Okay. Motion made in the second. Any other discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. That is approved. Okay. Next meeting date, June 29th, 2022. Do I hear a motion to adjourn? Motion to adjourn. Second. Motion made seconded. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? We are adjourned. Thank you very much. Thank you.
