We've had with them in the past for similar work, right? So it's just boilerplate contract to contract, right Steve. Did you have any questions? I can't see if you're raising your hand No, David summed it up. We typically don't use them for this we take their own problems But in the event we had a problem like at a lift station or something and we need to get restored fast They're available and they're trained to work on this type of equipment. So we can utilize their services Perfect. Okay Any questions on that hearing none Looking for a motion. I'll make a motion to approve Ryan will second Thank you for that motion and support again Any questions on this this motion? Hearing none all in favor Todd I Dean I Ryan I Any opposed hearing none? Motion is approved Moving on to 3.2 resolution 200-19-20 April 8th 2020 Document 5.4 resolution authorizing these appropriate city officials to execute Execute sorry a mentor a memorandum of agreement between the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Officer and the city of Sheboygan regarding the demolition of the Sheboygan Municipal Auditorium and Armory located at 516 Broughton Drive Sheboygan Go ahead David again another item for your mr. Mr. Chair Yes, Chad Pelesheck is on the line. Sorry. I came on late. No, not a problem. Thank you Chad So if David doesn't mind I'll take over for this one, but what this is is we When the city executed the redevelopment agreement at the time with the armory group Jennifer Lurkey's the armory Community group One of the requirements or milestones of that agreement was they needed to put the armory on the national Register of Historic Places, which they did so after the council terminated that agreement and And and we were moved into the demolition stage We needed to work with the Wisconsin Historical Society The Historic Preservation Officer to determine a mitigation plan that would be agreeable to everybody to try to Mitigate the loss of the armory but but also preserve the history of it So we hired a consultant that historic preservation consultant that helped us put together a plan she reached out to a number of Stakeholders that were both poor and against The demolition of the armory talked to them about what the city planned to do to preserve the heritage of the armory and You know in lieu of demolition and then Got a few of them they even become parties of the signature of the group so what the agreement that you see before you is is kind of a Contemplation or whatever the word is of all these different things that the city has agreed that we will do as part of it with the largest one being the creation of this documentary that we will do in partnership with the WSTS and the Shibwagon County Historical Research Center to put a call out to people to submit their experiences and Thoughts and things that they have as it relates to the armory and then we will pick a Number of those and try to put it into a timeline of events that happened at the armory to try to document that all in one location and a Documentary that would be available to the public both at the Mead Library at WSTS and on their video on demand at that The Shibwagon County Historical Research Center may sell DVD DVDs and use that as a fundraiser for their Organization the other thing that we agreed to do is that is as part of demolition if we can preserve some of the things that the Historical Museum has asked for a walkthrough will happen before demolition happens And then the contractor will be asked to try to preserve a few of the items that the historical Museum was looking for and then the city will be required to transport those items to the historical museum Those items that I recall are an S. That's above the stage If that in the main entrance there was like an art Like a cannon implant in the floor if that can be taken out I'm not sure and then there's a I think a plaque on the wall that talks about the armory The last thing that's in that agreement is an update to the city's historical preservation architectural survey that identifies potential districts within the community that could become historic districts So the city would agree to work with the consultant to update that plan that was done back in 2007 to make it relevant for 2020 So those are the things that we need to do we do not have to have these things done before demolition can proceed We need to just meet the timeline and keep in contact with the historic preservation officer in Madison on our progress and Should the council consent to this agreement the historical society will sign off on this agreement the parties that are Party to this agreement will sign off on it and then demolition can proceed So if there's any questions, I'd be happy to answer it. Sorry was a little long-winded And Chad, I just have a couple of statements real quickly before we open the floor To our listeners here In the very beginning you said that the that the committee had canceled the agreement Actually, the correct me if I'm wrong, but the agreement Timeline had expired. It wasn't that we canceled It was that it was expired because I remember we actually asked if they needed additional time and They had stated no So would you agree with that statement? Well, yes, I would agree with that statement They there was milestones in the agreement and they didn't meet the milestones correct Correct. Okay. The other the other the other question that I have is when you talk about the there were items that the historical group is Interested in and you had listed off three of them. Did we I didn't see it but did we put a limitation to the cost of Of Saving these these what I'll you know call artifacts just because of the age of the building but There is a cost that would be incurred by cop by the construction group to be able to like the The floor tile mural Concept that could be very costly To try to preserve it and save it Just because of the way it was originally constructed. Was there a cap or anything put into it? No, I we talked about that and I don't know that the Historic Society would agree to that. I think if it they're really looking at the Contractor to tell us if he thinks he's has a way of getting that out that it's the most cost effective way To do it and if there's not then all parties would have to decide decide that you know That that's not going to be feasible and that one wouldn't be able to be preserved But I don't think unfortunately that the Historical society cares about cost. I think they just want to make sure that we can either do it or we can't do it Well, the reason I'm bringing it up is like you just said if they don't have a concern with cost We is as city leadership We do have to be cautious of the cost because that is a deciding point Anything can be done as you know with time and money That's why I was just asking if if that's something that should have been put into the agreement or not and I guess what I would I would I don't have the answer for that I'd have to go back to the consultant and have her have that conversation with the Historic preservation officer and see if they would agree to amending it that it's some dollar value And I guess you guys could make that an amendment to your motion and then we could staff could go back and Try to get an answer for the council meeting Okay Well, I'll leave that for the committee to decide if that's something that they they feel is necessary Any additional questions from the committee? It's Ryan you mentioned something about like a tour now when you talk about a tour of the building What what is that like with the historical society is that which the public is that Oh, what does that mean clarify that a little bit? It's a we originally Travis growths was originally in the building and there was a list put together of items that he felt the historical museum Might have an interest in We unfortunately none of us can find that list so the idea behind this is that Travis In his staff at the museum would go through the building before the city demolishes Just to make sure that they have all the items Quantified that they believe they could have room for to put on display So it's just with okay. It's just with Travis growth and a few of his curators at the historical museum Okay, thanks for the clarification Dean you had a question. Yes I just wanted to ask Dave if he thought if you have any any thoughts on what you think of cost in that if you Know any idea at all me just a quick. Yeah, I I'm thinking like that to razzle floor If we'd cut and try to preserve some of that that that's you know, maybe five grand Maybe ten at the most and really I I really don't see a tremendous amount of expense in terms of trying to save Much because there's really not much to save yet of the building anything of worth value has probably been removed and preserved elsewhere And I think what Chad is talked about and he's really worked really hard at this with the historical society and the groups I think it's going to be a lot of video type of documentation and Remembrance in that sort. So I don't think you're going to see a lot of physical It clearly is part of the demo That could be you know, we can negotiate that with a contractor to ahead of time that prior to you them getting in Is this could be sought out and preserved somehow. Sure. Okay. Thank you, Dave Any additional questions for the committee from the committee? It's fine again. It's fine again You know, I know I know that the Armory has been a continuous saga of Just events to put it faith-to-lease and I do appreciate, you know the good effort by the city to preserve some elements of the historic building And you know, whatever we can do to accommodate the historical society's request. I think it is a big Big step that we can take is a sound of good faith. So I appreciate that All right, any additional questions from the committee? Hearing none looking listening for a motion. I make a motion to approve looking looking second Ryan All right, so we have a motion and a second All in favor Todd I Dean I Ryan I Any I All right any any against Hearing none motion is approved. Thank you very much Moving forward to three point three point three Resolution 201 19-20 April 14th 2020 direct referral resolution authorizing f3 marina to renovate the Harbor Center Marina second floor and to authorize the appropriate city officials to execute the first amendment to Harbors Center marina management agreement with f3 marina David you're up again. Mr. Chairman. This is another item for your consideration this evening. We've talked about this a little bit at a previous meeting talked about some of the agreement some of the the conditions of moving forward with this Working with the city attorney's office as well as the city administrator's office along with f3 officials It's come to an agreement that What is being proposed is that f3 will create a separate LLC to manage and operate this area That was one of the concerns was under the the existing marina management agreement there's certain incentives and in terms of financial and performance and if this Was added to their pro forma. They could disproportionately benefit from the this enhancement financially without necessary with especially considering the city is doing the outlay initial outlay for this capital improvement as the owner of the facility Since then what we've come up with is the proposal is suggesting a net income of the operation of the city would receive 70% of that net income with LLC the f3 marina It's new LLC receiving 30% acting basically as a management fee The proposal in a sense remains the same in terms of the renovations However, the the cost has come down slightly and What you you see in front of you this evening is the renovation cost and equipment cost is Approximately 61,000 from the pin the past it was around 80 something are right around 81,000 in the past so We f3 is really excited about it. We're excited about reactivating that space and ultimately getting this moved and Get it going for this upcoming voting season I guess with that city administrator Hoffland is here this evening. I know Thomas is online as well He's had some input from his office and I guess we'd hear to answer any questions, but Darryl, could you give us some comments? Thank you chair Wolf one of the questions that came up early early in the discussion is Being that it's it's a new initiative especially for f3 marina as David Bebel identified They're forming a new LLC The question came up as part of the discussions What if the first year or maybe the second year there is no profit? or potentially a Deficit or deficiency in the amount of the revenues and they identified that they even though on the profits There's a 70 30 split should there be no profit or a Deficit they would absorb a hundred percent of that cost So there's really no risk identified to the city as we proceed I thought it was important for the record to identify that. That was a very good point. Thank you. I I personally Just to give the committee a little background on this. I think this is a great opportunity. We've struggled kind of getting more activity in the marina area and taking care of the Patrons that use that facility and pay Pay a certain fee to actually utilize it and I know it's been a controversy in the past But we have a beautiful marina. It brings a lot of a lot of business to the city It brings a lot of activity Whether they use that facility or not. There's still a lot of action down on the river and People using the the facilities down there. So I personally I know it's been a controversy whether we wanted F3 or another business to come in and do that. I think this agreement is a good one It has minimal exposure for the city and if anything it if something wouldn't work out we would have a it basically laid out for another business to to Take a swing at it. So any questions from the committee? Yes, I am just noticing that the cost of the renovations is The responsibility of the city and will come from the marina fund. I'm just curious What is the current balance of the marina fund? Rose we're gonna have to get that that information. I don't have that in front of me I'd show it to you, but I can't show it to you But it's a very good question. I do want to say that we've had We've had some deficits in the past, but we'll get that information for you any additional questions while we're waiting I Just want to make the comment that I I like the Yeah, yeah at an amendment that does cover us especially in this time period and I also do another question is is it good? Is there a tavern or a liquor license available for that one right now? And that's the only That's I guess that's the only question I have I I believe so and I was gonna be a question school Okay, do they already have a liquor license part. What was that Ryan? I Said do they already have a liquor license because it says they have an old bar They're converting that into a storage room and they're moving moving the bar So I didn't know if they already have that liquor license or Or if that changes some dynamic with it because I know where we're We're always kind of close and how many licenses we can hand out. I don't know if this is One of those situations. No, I I believe they're just gonna have the what beer and wine first Would that be correct statement there? In response to your question as it relates to the liquor license. I think the goal is with An opening date planned by the end of June or first part of July is that during the process of renewing Existing liquor licenses the city clerk would become aware if there are any Non-reserve related licenses as result The licensing hearing and public safety committee could consider an application of the marina F3 Staff to possibly receive one of those licenses that would be come open as part of the Relicensing period which starts July 1st of each year in regards to the earlier question By Alder Phillips as it relates to the financials the existing Fund we have a special revenue fund fund called Harbor Center marina fund. There is a negative existing fund balance Dating back to the original construction or development of the marina However, not annually for the last couple years the city has transferred money from A fund that is no longer Active other than the fact that it has a fund balance So as part of the 2020 approved budget for the Harbor Center marina fund There is a transfer amount of 225 thousand dollars into this fund and it's part of that transfer Revenue that the city would pay for the improvements that are outlined in the pro forma provided by F3 marina Thank You Darrell Alder Phillips, do you have any additional questions? No, thank you. Okay Looking for a motion Okay, I'll make a motion to approve Dean Thank you, thank you for that motion and support Any any additional questions Hearing none all in favor Todd I Dean I Ryan I Okay, and that was a rose I correct Yes, okay. Thank you Okay, any any opposed? Eyes have it. It's approved Roll call Easier easier. Okay. All right. I'll do that. Okay. All right All right, so we'll move on to 3.4. Sorry. We're learning a little here Geo 46 19-20 April 8th 2020 document 7.1 general ordinance creating a no parking zone on the north side of Michigan Avenue east of 11th Street David mr. Chairman then the next 3.4 through 3.7 these general ordinances up for your consideration this evening I'm going to defer to the city engineer mr. Ryan sasma as he's been instrumental in drafting these perfect. Thank you With the one for 11th Street in Michigan Avenue There's a driveway that exits on the Michigan Avenue. It's real close to the 11th Street intersection And for various reasons people are constantly parking in front of this gentleman's driveway So by the request of the property owner and a shabuigan PD They'd like to have this no parking from here to corner because it just be a lot easier for them to enforce The no parking zone more so than someone parking too close to a driveway. It's an issue. I've seen it a bunch of time I just think there's a lot of a lot of activity up in that area and people just park in there So, okay, that's it any any questions from the committee on 3.4 Okay, I'm looking for motion Dean. I'll make a motion to approve Okay, and thank you for that motion and support any additional questions on 3.4 Hearing none, I will do a roll call vote Todd I Dean Dean I Ryan I Alder Phillips I Alder Ackley I Any of Not none opposed Motion is approved. Thank you 3.5 Geo 47 19-20 April 8th 2020 document 7.2 General ordinance creating a no parking zone on the east side of North 5th Street North yeah, North 5th Street near the intersection of Center Avenue, Ryan Yeah, this intersection of 5th and Center is located down by the courthouse So parking at 5th Street is very dense And what happens is people park so close to the intersection of Center Avenue on 5th Street that when people want to exit Center Avenue The site distance is relatively this crowd the corner too much So we've done this before to increase the site distance just eliminate parking 30 feet on both sides of the on both sides of the street It helps and um, it's like for the site distance for safety perfect. Okay. Any questions on 3.5? Looking for a motion motion to approve Dean Ryan second Thank you for that motion and support again any questions Hearing none will do a roll call vote Todd I Dean I Sorenson I I Phillips I Akali Hearing no nays it is 3.3 point 5 is approved 3.6 Geo 48 19-20 April 8th 2020 document 7.3 general ordinance creating a no parking zone on the north side of st. Clair Avenue west of 13th Street Reconstruction in the Roosevelt Park located at 1103 Mead Avenue Ryan last fall the Sheboygan Leadership Academy, which is located on St. Clair Avenue between 14th to 13th Street They built the mid-block crosswalk to go from their school across the street over to their Playground area. Yep. And what happens is when Parents are dropping off or picking up kids a park rule closer to this crosswalk So the principal and leadership Academy asked if we would just eliminate parking like on 20 feet of both sides of the crosswalk Just to make it safer. Okay, perfect Looking for a motion motion to approve Dean Thank you for that motion and support any questions on 3.6 Hearing none roll call vote Todd I Dean I Sorenson I Phillips I Ackley I Hearing all eyes it is approved no nays moving to 3.7 Geo for 49-19-20 April 8th 2020 document 7.4 general ordinance placing stop signs at the northwest and southwest corners of Barrett Street and Lincoln Ryan, yes, this is an uncontrolled intersection Yes, it's a four-way stop with really no no traffic control at all So what what Pubworks is going to do is do some minor intersection Reconstruction very very minor eddy stop signs add some striping therefore we'll have a two-way stop at a four-way intersection excellent Looking for a motion on 3.7 motion to approve Dean looking for a second Thank you, Ryan All right, look any quest any further questions. I know this is a good one. It's in one of them that I brought forward Hearing none roll call vote Todd I Decker I sorenson I Phillips I Ackley I Hearing all approved Motion is approved moving to 3.8 quarterly performance report for Department of Public Works discussion only mr. Bebel I Yes, as part of the annual budgeting process many of these Benchmarks and and performance measures are Included in the budget and what we have for you this evening is Basically a summary report of those those key measures for your consideration for review of the first quarter included in here are Also the the 2020 annual goals to give you a kind of a sense of where we are as well So in terms of like City Hall We have you know the amount of therms used and utility costs and it's going to be especially interesting With City Hall this year. We'll finally get a full a full year of to track now being in the new facility versus the old You know with it so we'll be continuing to monitor that and we also track the number of work orders and being in a new building The lots of little things are creeping up as people are getting Settled into their new work environment. So This year will be a great year to track that is it we have civil defense very very Interesting is that we have one signal down right now. It's being it's under a contract We're waiting for the contractor to come in and get that signal fixed. That's why it's at eighty eight percent instead of the hundred percent Now engineering as we have Some of the workloads that we measure there are you know plan reviews within the two weeks submission and and how many of The maps that we update annually as well Maintenance at the MSB or some service building is it's a 50 plus year old facility In fact this week guys of today We just replaced our air conditioning unit on the roof as part of our 2020 capital plan So that was a long overdue the chiller that was up there was original and it no longer could be serviced with the Freon so that was an exciting process today Half probably about a third of the size of the unit was replaced was replaced today versus what was taken off Again tracking therms utility costs again. These are measures obviously they affect the budget because the more therms we use the more costly but again weather depend It's a lot of weather and cold and heating Cycles that will be a factor in that as well. Excuse me Streets and alleys and sidewalks We talk about our crack filling every year and our yards of concrete, you know first quarter It's winter. So we're not doing too much, you know, it's January February March not a lot of activity in in this area That's why you see you know the year to date for the quarter is very low Except for the potholes that we we have Moving forward in this we we look at stormwater management again Not a lot of activity because of the winner winner in this area But we do some in March clearly marches with some of the spring storms which will try to get out as much as possible a Street lighting and utility costs were tracking the costs, you know annually and then what we have year to date so far We're hoping that is is as we're converting to LEDs We're using less energy, but we're adding more of our own city street lighting network so it's kind of a ongoing battle of adding more but yet lowering the utility usage So one of the things we'll be probably looking at here as well as is looking at You know that the amount of energy needed that we're using consuming on an annual basis versus just cost In other words kilowatt hours used versus cost and see if it's a trend Like fixtures or something like that, right? We we and we we have some of that and some other but in terms of what we what we display for the budget You know, we don't want to have too much Statistics because the budget would just get overwhelmed. So right as part of our annual and other performance measures That's a you know a supplemental tracking mechanism that we have internally that will obviously share with you Yeah, I think it's it helps you to justify the increase in cost if if you added 50 units and It was neutral. It'd be like hey good job Correct. In fact a lot of cases what what we've been able to do is over the years is Alliant energy had a program where if you you'd lock in your annual rate of Costs that you've been paying them, but yet that was used then finance Energy reduction in terms of LED program, right? So yeah, it was somewhat of a free financing mechanism and a lot of those have gone away But it we have increased clearly the number of fixtures that were owning versus leasing from them. Excellent. Thank you Again on bridges not you know with the winter not too much, but snow and ice control. We had you know for the first quarter This year wasn't too bad. We only had seven seven operations Is the salt tonnage, you know 1300 and it's quite a bit, you know even though you have seven seven Operations in the average was a low average in terms of snowfall You still have to get out and it depends on the case of icing you in that case so Overall we're right on pace with our with our snow and ice. It's pretty average and that's We'd like to see it David. You've got the salt in in tons. Do we keep any measurements on the liquid? Sailing that you guys use Because you guys do that. Yeah. Yeah, that's a that's probably we could probably track The number of gallons that we apply because I I will um I and I think we probably have that isn't it again I can check with Jason. Yeah, and in his staff I know we do we do track the number of Operations of pre-wedding and de-icing with that. So the reason I bring it up is that does reduce our salt usage Correct to a degree, but it's also it's Tires on the you know that these are guys are out there and laying it out. Just like they would be traditional salt You know, they're pre-wedding as you called it correct. So yeah, I think that yeah You'll see that number go up and you'll see the tonnage come down and that's a good a good balance, right good point. Thank you Traffic control signs again. This is like the number of signs. We replace the number of new signs We install mail boxes are damaged that are replaced with snow operations traffic arrows again Looking at the 18 actual for the year 19 then you look at our goals for 2020 year to date So we're we're we're well on pace. We've been able to do quite a bit during the first quarter Garbage tons collected where we're right where we need to be for the first quarter. I'm anticipating As long as the pandemic is happening a lot of people are staying home And we're starting to see increased tonnages as people aren't going out and eating in restaurants So they're eating more at home or consuming more. So it's ending up on the street, you know at the curbside So we'll after the the second quarter We should be able to have a comparison of where we're at from second quarter of years ago The past couple of years versus moving forward Street cleaning we you know again We don't get to do too much during that first quarter with the snow on ice on the streets And it really kicks up in the second third and a little bit maybe in the fourth quarter We control again not worried about that right now the drop-off site again during the winter not too much to report It's it's fairly fairly minor Cemetery again, nothing really happened and other than we don't we'll have some burials that have occurred parks Measurements pretty consistent from year to year. We just actually we planted this past week Which is in the second quarter, but we did 90 trees. So that will be a reflection on your on your next Quarterly report. So we've been active in our forestry in terms of removal and elevating during the winter That's a good time with no leaves on the trees. We can do quite a bit of work Motor vehicle fun. I'll just you know park an open space not again with the winter not a lot of activity with with that Occurring right now other than the number of ash trees that we were able to remove in there in the in the first quarter 312 Motor vehicles been very busy with winter operations, you know, we've done about 79% preventative Maintenance completion rate and partly it's not as high as we'd like is partly because of The need to keep the snow and ice equipment operational. So that takes priority during that time recycling Measuring that the tonnage where we're right on pace again of where we need to be and I'm hoping to see that Tick up as well with more and more residents staying home during the pandemic and the stay at home orders Wastewater we're doing great got a rating and that's where we like to see it Thanks to Steve and his staff at the treatment plant and The boat facilities fun Lastly, there's a repair request. We've only really had one repair At at this time in the first quarter and occupancy of the the boat facilities And this is primarily the riverfront docks is is low right now The waters high waters high. We weren't we were not able we weren't we when we replaced the docks we were able to add some extra slips. So and Boating is is is kind of regressed a little bit. So what we've been able to do is those vacant spots We've used as transient or our day slips for visitors to come into Harbor Park And be able to hit the shops along the riverfront and that's worked well So that's pretty much the quarterly benchmark report and again You know for your review and for your information and by all means take some time review it if you have any questions Feel free to contact my office And happy to provide more detail or anything in terms of any questions that you may have any any questions from the committee Yeah, hey David, it's Ryan. I guess it's more about a future sort of Planning thought that I have so in terms of you know, we're rolling up to the new recycling cart. Are we going to be tracking Those in a different way. I know we're you know, we're tracking on recycling Are we projecting that our numbers are going to go up or are we going to be tracking those in different? You know, I Don't know what I'm trying to say here How are we being operating that yeah, it will be we'll we'll we'll have it as a as an Probably as a as a point in time that from this point forward the cart cart based system is now in effect We're anticipating at least a 10% increase in recycling rates it we when you go to when you go to a cart base it it Because you only have one garbage cart, it's going to force people to separate and puts Correct, so we're really we're you know Trends when we've seen this from the the professionals that we worked with with the cart based system seen anywhere from a 10 to 20% Increase in recycling rates or diversion rates from garbage. So We're going to be tracking that and we're interested in seeing how that rolls out with with the new carts How have how is the roll-up then have you guys been receiving any Pushback or any specific calls at all? Oh, we've got Again dawn is here and I can have her talk talk to talk to about that directly But yes, we the carts are rolling out there. It's been a good process The the car the company is actually somewhat ahead of schedule They're about a day or two ahead of where they anticipated to be Probably the biggest calls are you know, whoa, you know The lids aren't closing and that's partly because of the shipping and what will happen is once once they're out And the lids are closed after a couple of days. They'll the plastic It's back to its normal normalcy, but during the shipping they kind of get warped in and things So that's been a complaint You know and if I if I don't if you don't mind mr. Chairman if I could defer to dawn Yes, and since her staff has been instrumental They've they've field each person's about 50 calls a day right now, but it sounds like a lot But it's but it is a positive here Yeah, come on down. Hi, so most of the calls are typically just people Confirming what their garbage day is Are they on an A or B schedule for recycling things of that nature and just Wanting confirmation as to what they can recycle. There are a lot of questions about bags Not begging recycling a lot of citizens are very excited about that But we do typically defer we we answer the questions, but then we also Advertise for our DPW website and we actually some people will call and be right at their computer So we're able to walk them through doing a search for what they're looking at as far as what they want to recycle So we are definitely promoting the information on our website, which I believe our citizens are very excited about you bet I've heard nothing, but good the one thing That I did hear is that they started using them right away, which is not a good Yes, we had a little situation on Good Friday So we did to the to the south side and some of our southsiders were very excited about using their garbage cart So they they ended up putting their garbage and putting their carts out So we I was in and the lead man Bruce Matzdorf wasn't as well And we started getting a few calls as far as the garbage wasn't being picked up So Bruce took a little ride and determined that our citizens are just very excited despite the We did put an informational packet in each cart promoting our May 4th start date, but again It is what it is so we were able to pick up the garbage and You know, we are tracking our calls on spreadsheets and finding out what are our hot topics And then we're able we're able to alter our website So we can we can put those questions front-row center to help citizens and navigate them to answer their questions That's a really good idea don't have you guys actually kept track of the actual areas to see no pun intended But there's a hot spot where maybe some future Education in that in that neighborhood association or something could work. Absolutely our website does have addresses Because what's happening is when we are delivering the company we're working for they actually have a schedule So right now we've delivered two different areas of the south side. So we're documenting the citizen's name as well as their address Okay, so we will be able to potentially like you said go in and speak at the neighborhood I think that would be really good at information to at some point pass on to the elders so that if I'm an older that has an area that's You know having a lot of questions I can reach out to that area or set up a neighborhood association meeting That's great idea. We can definitely get that information to you. No, perfect any questions from the committee The only question I David you just thought you had the one about the sirens Where is that siren located because I know this this week week? I think Thursday We're having the attest and I'm sure we make it calls and I'm going to defer to Mike Wilmuss I believe Mike is on the line yet Yes, I am David and that siren was fixed today that siren is located at end park Okay at end park, okay Let's that's gonna be more your yeah, that's my problem. Thanks Mike. You'll have that fixed right? It is it is operational. Oh it is okay today. Okay, otherwise, I'd have to have you up on the pole yelling Perfect. We got it. We got it done Okay If there's a no further questions from the committee will move on to 3.9 the COVID up impacts public works Discussion only David. Yeah, the the the main impact Clearly is our garbage collection. It's still being picked up manually So we've been working with our our operators making sure they're wearing a proper PPE protective equipment that they need Making sure that you know, we've we've split shifts. So construction crews are coming in earlier So that not every morning everyone's arriving at the same time congregating. So we're keeping Construction crews coming earlier garbage men start, you know, the garbage crews start at their normal time The other areas such as our park staff They're they're spread out in different parts of the building as well as we have some that report directly like to the lake front every morning So we've been able to separate employees and keep them practicing good social distancing in terms of a good employment practices and Just stress the need that To to be safe at all times, you know, one of the things, you know, we that's it's imperative that the the garbage Cards get delivered. We received three of the trucks are now here So the and the the other four are at the facility being fitted and retrofitted and by next week we should have all of our Automated garbage trucks and recycling trucks at at our facility ready to go and in fact as of last Saturday the one truck we had we have Operators in on the weekend Practicing getting familiar with it driving in in their actual neighborhoods and trying to you know Get familiar with it and look out for obstacles and trees and whatever our other Wires that could be potentially in the way So we'll have a good week two weeks to to work out those details as well No, David because of the COVID situation I believe they were originally going to do some training up in Green Bay. Is that yeah, we're not We're not doing that where we're staying you know everything local and that's that's why we're going to use our own equipment as well as Practice with it with the stuff that we have available within our shop currently perfect Yeah, we're you know maintenance personnel are cleaning doing the proper cleaning of City Hall Service building and public areas for for the occupants of of the employees as well So it has impacted as I mentioned or at the mayor's special council meeting Some of our construction projects superior Avenue We're holding off on the start on that and the Badger lofts project. We're down where rock line is located We're kind of holding off on that water main given given the situation yep with the with their production and As well as Gilea Avenue was kind of on hold with the water main and the ability we need to get into homes Or the water meters so that we're able to change out the lead services so You know, we're monitoring the situation Superior Avenue should still go. I think the contractor is scheduled in June June June 22nd to get going on that. We're anticipating June 22nd. Hopefully things will be somewhat back to normal and I don't know if we'll ever get there but in terms of Work and production in that sense The project should get going We're looking hopefully ideally by that time rock line in that area We'll have a better sense in terms of what we're able to do with the water main as well Along with the water main be down for rock line. Just out of curiosity. I wanted to say was it um Did you have a recall or it was about two weeks that they say the water main? Or to do the work, correct the switchover would be Okay, okay. Yeah, okay So we'll have to work with them and see what as things calm down Correct one of the things is when we construct we're right next and we're right in the area And if you're pounding pavement and digging the potential is is that you could disrupt the existing main And potentially cause a failure and then they'd be out of water and that's what we'd be we're really concerned with right now Okay, excellent All right. Hey, David. This is Mike wellness Yes, Mike, you got it fixed already. Um, just uh I got it fixed I'm referencing the COVID-19 and everything between Meredith and I we did contract with Cintas and disinfect All voting polls and including all the churches senior center and whatnot Yeah, you guys did a great job over the voting period Thank you All right, any additional questions otherwise we'll move on to Yeah, I have a question. I have a question just in terms of parks um David, could you just clarify? I know like park facilities and park shelters and like playground equipment is closed Are people still able to you know walk around the parks and um and that sort of thing Yeah, yeah, so the park the parks are open to to take a walk and and and uh, Enjoy enjoy the scenery Again, you know, we want we want to practice some of the social distancing You know, we we still have have like our skate park is is still available or paths are still available The facilities themselves such as the shelters and the restrooms are closed And and and but yet the open spaces are are still available at this time and They've been popular they and We've noticed a pretty good uptick in terms of what we have is our park garbage facilities as well We have our our garbage routes for just our parks and and we've seen Quite a bit of usage where at this time of the year. It's really non-existent So that that's been an interesting trend that we've been monitoring as well And one thing, you know, we I appreciate Yeah, and I appreciate, you know, the parks open and let's do everything we can to make sure that they're still safe and Folks are able to get out and enjoy that. I know um, I was at uh colorondra the day before that the governor closed that and um It was busy, um, you know, I don't necessarily know if I fully agree with closing the park At the state level, but I want to do what we can to keep keep our parks open In a safe manner. So so thanks david for your team and your effort on doing what you can on that Thanks. Just just one one other note is that, you know, we we did have to cancel quite a bit of reservations Uh during this time it was around 50 reservations to the tune of you know, we we refunded around $12,000 in in rental fees Uh, and and we're starting to get some special events canceled and you know, I you know, I you know, we we seen the memorial day parade I believe mung fest is is canceled already So some of the larger type of events that we would host in our parks are now starting to be Uh canceled for the season as well That's unfortunate But these are tough times. All right, um, just we Do you anticipate still opening up like, um, evergreen is uh on schedule like normally with for drive-thru Or is that kind of on a whole I think we're going to hold off on allowing the drive-thru is because so many people are walking And they're enjoying just being able to walk without traffic. Okay, and I think since there's no Uh areas really to stop and necessarily use a facility Uh, we're going to kind of try to keep that close to traffic until this is cleared. Okay Good question any additional questions from the committee on 3.9 hearing none We'll move forward to uh, 3 10 3.10 Uh our five-year capital improvement project cip for the years of 2021 and through 2025 And david yes, mr. Chairman We we annually we want to share kind of what we've what our requests are for the next five-year program with the committee members give you an update where we're at and What we'll be going eventually to the capital improvements commission at early as as early as the end of this month for their initial review and ultimately ranking of of projects that will be ultimately put as part of a package to back to the common council for your consideration But uh, mostly when you see items highlighted That either means that it's it's consistent with a prior request And it's either been shifted a year or it's right on track In terms of prior requests from priors. That's why you see 2025 is doesn't have any highlighted um figures necessarily Um for the most part for city buildings, you know, again The municipal service building, uh, as I mentioned is over 50 years and it every We every year we seem to be doing, you know, some capital improvements to keep that building functional and operational Although it's 50 years old Plus it is a wonderfully designed building for being that age and it's very Layed out efficiently for our operations Nevertheless, um the generator is still original so in 2021 we are going to be replacing that as well as probably the the um The uh switch gear and some of the panel work the wiring that will need it to be upgraded as well with that so There's a design component of that as well as the generator replacement and then the panel gets replaced in 2022 We talk, uh, there's a there's a wash bait inside the building uh, but it's it's Again original and it's very narrow and it's not very conducive and it seems that our equipment's getting larger and more Complicated as we speak every year in terms of its multifunctionality Therefore the the the wash bay needs to be somewhat expanded as well as updated With it with it the overspray has caused quite a bit of corrosion on the ceiling. So we're going to need to do some Work on that anti anti corrosion recording and painting. So That's that's a concern we're looking at As well as there's garage drains that were upgraded I'd say probably 20 years ago in the building and Even still they're they're undersized For a lot of the snow melt and in the oils and greases. It is a sanitary it goes to the sanitary sewer Because of the oils and greases that that get collected and washed off the floor So we need to get that so it works properly and drains properly in the building We also have at it within our buildings. You'll see this is kind of a a newer program but it's ADA we we did a American and disabilities act audit of the city Primarily of our parks facilities in public areas as well as all of our public building And as part of the act We're in need to make sure that we're in compliance and we have a plan that plan that was presented and we worked with our our civ make insurance group. It's about a two million dollar project It doesn't all have to be done in in five years, but we have a plan. We have a good document. Everything's been identified So what we've put in here, which you'll see starting in 2021 is $250,000 on an annual basis moving forward specifically for addressing Americans with disabilities act accessibility upgrades And we alternate between our parks and public facilities areas A public open spaces, I should say and then our public buildings So one year we're going to concentrate on our park system and open and sidewalks and accessibility in the community Then the other year is going to be focused then on public buildings You know city hall has been great, but we have the library. We have the police station We have the service building we have we have Our fire stations our police, you know other facilities That we have throughout the community will need to be upgraded Moving on to traffic control again when you see the highlighted figures Look, this is these are annual programs that we've that we've kept consistent from prior Requests moving forward. So our led street lighting upgrades and are for from in our tid districts in the downtown area As well as city-wide that's an annual program that we've been able to consistently systematically take part of our street lighting network and convert to led when it's been a good program and It's been well received and now you're starting to see That conversion you see the high pressure sodium or what I would say the orange colored lights switch over to the bright white middle halide I'm going to move right on right into the next page where we get into motor vehicle We've worked with the city administrator's office as well as the finance director's office to kind of Scale back. We've been we've been over a million dollars a year roughly on motor vehicle. We've been real aggressive We're at a stage now, especially now with our new garbage packers that we've received The fleet's in fairly good condition and what we've done is we've cut that Virtually in half to right around 500,000 give or take Is where we want to be? So again, you see a lot of highlighted items here that these pieces of equipment Are consistent with prior years and moving forward with with a plan that that rick nye our motor vehicle supervisor has Done a real good job in terms of laying out As what pieces of equipment are depreciated which are are at the point that it's cost effective To to trade and move these on so I'm not going to go into every piece of equipment that You're you're all I've been on the committee for some time and you can just read that the type of equipment Again, uh, we'll move right into parks and forestry What you see is again a continuation of our urban forestry management plan and emerald ash borer project Roughly, it's around 200,000 210,000. It's a combination of you know, some park and open space fund and and other other sources of funding to help We're we're continuing to Do removals we're continuing to treat we're now in a phase where we're retreating trees We've retreated all the ash trees that we were able to treat However, we're seeing some of those trees Not, you know, there's a there's a certain percentage of those trees even that we're going to lose So we're seeing that and they get added to the removal list So we're we're going to continuing to remove trees But we're we're going to start seeing a real concentration starting probably in 2023 and 2024 and beyond of where this becomes majority Of a replanting program We've been able to replant, but yet we're still at a we're still at the phase or stage where We're we're we have a net loss. We're removing more trees than we're able to replant right now We just got to focus on catching up getting those dead trees out eventually That shows us we should get to a point where the pendulum switches and we'll be planting more trees versus removal You see we have some renovations of playground equipment at end park A couple of new ones that you that are on for 2021 or are the maywood environmental center There's again, that's a facility that Had an addition put on the additions fairly new back in the early 2000s But the original structure is probably from the 50s that needs to have some some repairs So we have that as a new request the Werner subdivision that we've that we know is coming We have 50 000 in there for some grading and parkways and infrastructure And again, here's another one as I mentioned earlier the ada improvements 250 000 for city wide Again moving forward then the new request for 2022 would be evergreen area three It's a very popular area where it doesn't have a shelter and what we're just talking is a is is a shelter for shade It's not a bathroom because there's a bathroom close by an area four where we could combine with that So that's been a a new a new request. Excuse me And moving forward again, the only other thing new in 2023 is again that ada we have a cleveland park splash pad uh cleveland park has The a shelter in the bathroom, but it has the plumbing roughed in for a splash pad similar to what was done at optimist park It's the same kind of look Which just ready to go. We've just been kind of doing one of those every five years roughly again, and then uh in 2024 and a new request Would be the the veterans park tennis court resurfacing that we're showing And ultimately in 2025, you know, we're working with a Consultant on quarry park. We have put in there some placeholder holders for for 2025 for some master plan improvements at quarry and the next page is our streets and Again, this is a you'll see a lot of highlighted We've been able to try to be as consistent as possible in terms of laying out our street repair program and resurfacing program A couple a couple new ones that we've been trying to really focus on as one would be for 2021 is washington avenue from self-business drive to taylor that that asphalt is really starting to Rapidly deteriorate so we have to get on it before it gets too far go on and it gets more costly Same thing with the the self-business drive and and georgia avenue intersection, you know, that's going to be tid tid based And that project will will have new signals and some improvements made at at 14th street in georgia as well in 2022 and I and just so I think I've included it in your packet We emailed you also a pdf of You know a city map of all of our roads So it shows completed streets since 2013 on the map and it shows the plan projects from 2020 through 2025 For you as well and if you ever want to if you ever want a larger size of a map that map just let us know We can print you off a larger size Thank you Again, you know moving around here We would you know we I just want to probably highlight the ones that were our newer that aren't highlighted such as panel replacement So calumet drive and 14th street. It's a state trunk highway But if you if you realize it's it's all concrete pavement and we're starting to get at some of the joints where they're starting to Delaminate our our pop. We is probably the more Common term people would probably say so what we what we're going to do is saw those joints out put new dowels in and and repave with concrete Uh, so that's what a concrete panel kind of a placement that it an overlay on that street Really is would be money wasted Since we can get in there and do these panels and we can Strategically get in there and fix the bad panels. The street will be much better serve long term So that's what that project is. We bought a half a million dollars on that for I'm just uh, I'm backing up here. I'm trying to highlight the newer ones so we're looking In 2024 and we have a million dollars roughly right now for for north 15th street And we're looking at design on that that that could be a total reconstruct It's in a it's in a area that needs needs some some Some rehab as well We're looking at probably doing what we call as a road diet that gets 52 feet face to face It's really wide. There's not much terrace. So we would probably bring that in It's it's it's not needed to be that wide traffic volumes don't don't Necessarily dictate that and so if we would reconstruct it narrow it up We could add a really nice terrace with trees to plant landscaping We've already started the process working with a lion to consider bearing a lot there's a tremendous amount of utility poles and Three-phase power along this corridor that we're working with a lion to consider bearing it and getting it out of the streetscape And we could really really enhance this neighborhood as well as the street I'm looking for that in 2024 um, and lastly it's wastewater and again wastewater We're we're fairly consistent But probably the biggest one that you're aware of in that where we really don't have a cost at this stage It's really preliminary yet. And I just put in for 2021 eight million dollars for the shore the south side lake shore sewer interceptor that needs to be rehabbed Right now full infrastructure The design team out of green bay is working with us They're going to be down here. In fact tomorrow And we're going to be looking at some manholes walking it Um Getting some further rehab right now The good news is the pipe is in fairly good shape So we can line it and it doesn't have to be reconstructed or moved or relayed at this point So that's a good thing, but yet it's still very expensive endeavor. So we'll we'll Keep you up to date. We've uh, we've We've sent letters to the outlying communities that contribute sewage to this line Notifying them that they will need to participate in this as well in terms of Flow allocation and capital financing of this project as well We've reached out to the state senators senator bulbman and um, let me you yep that will uh For potential federal funding On this so we're we're we're going to approach all avenues in terms of uh, federal We're looking at the core of engineers if there's help because it's along the lake michigan shoreline. So Um, stay tuned. This is a this is a dynamic project that will be Very interesting in the future but Steve has really What you see in the yellow and blue is is steve's plant work that he's very consistent with We're primarily using annual Proceeds in terms of our annual revenues To fund projects on an annual basis and not use debt at the treatment plant We've had in the past some pretty large projects and now with that we're we're anticipating clearly debt on the interceptor project But the the cover replacement and some of the clarifiers and the actual at the plant facilities We're able to do most of those projects with Financed revenues through the rates and not necessarily debt financing. So that's our goal So that's a real high level overview um But the thing I guess for the committee members is There's a lot of highlighted items on here. So we've talked about many of these projects in the past We're consistent in terms of trying to keep this plan moving forward Things have shifted maybe from a year to year to get the financing and the numbers to work out But yet the requests are are fairly consistent I I think you guys did a great job. I know it's been very difficult year over year uh, especially last year when some of our um budgets got moved around a little bit because of uh Funding changes and things like that. So good job to everybody. I know it's difficult because we We're continuing to replace and improve and and develop things but With less and less coming in unless we continue to develop more and increase our revenues. It's it's difficult Any questions from the committee on three on 3.10? I know it's a lot of capital improvements dean. Yeah um, I said two two quick questions um I did not see anything on on indiana avenue the from the 24th to 17th street section I I believe the county is doing from taylor to 24th I we were kind of had that on the the radar. I just was wondering if that's still on the radar Yeah, actually the the county is going to do their section. We had a meeting today in 2022 um We we we we applied for uh A grant to see if we could get that funded through the state. Okay, because we were looking at a reconstruction Originally, and I think that was around anywhere from a 3.5 to 4.5 million dollar project So you're right that it's not in here now Because it got dropped because we didn't get any funding for it. So what we're looking at doing is probably in 2023 is looking at a pretty Can a major resurfacing of that section from 17th street to around 24th street And what we'll be doing is potentially also looking at if we're able to add some bike lanes in there And what we've what we're considering is if we asphalt it There's a new process of colorizing putting some colored pavement instead of just black top We could color the bike lane either a Either a red or a green to differentiate it from the road To provide and so we're we think this could be a real We haven't used that yet in shabuagan And we think that this could be a real nice section to give that An opportunity to try and really enhance that section of roadway but The other question I had was um the qualis park Is that also I know that you're looking for for uh Black grant money and things like that. So that's kind of right and that and that's what we're working with chad and his office in terms Of community black grant development. We're kind of going through The master plan at koanis and refining some of those numbers Because of that because this is more of what I would say in our in the budget for Improvements, this is either using park and open space fund or impact fee our general obligation borrowing The what you have in front of you does not have the block grant and I think what we're looking at in fact we have a meeting This week thursday to talk about some block grant opportunities With chad's office. So as soon as we get a little further refined in terms of what's available In in his budget that is available for koanis park. We will share those plans with you. Okay. Thank you excellent any additional questions from from the committee members hearing none we'll uh We'll consider that complete. Thank you, david. Thank you. Thank you to your team um, we'll move on to our Next meeting 4.1 next regular meeting date is april 28th 2020 and uh Then uh, 5.1 looking for a motion to adjourn senedai Motion to adjourn senedai Dean Ryan All right all in favor for Um, um adjournment senedai I Todd dean Rose I Ackley I We are adjourned. Thank you Be safe Thank you It's it's something So we lost thank you. Yeah, yeah Well, there's one section I know about Between 23rd and 22nd kind of there's a worry It looks and I actually think it was actually a newer section. It was it's like it's Significantly Okay, okay It's we'll be just like I said, I don't I don't want to make promises that's here to say. Oh, yeah, we got this coming going It's like oh, but it always is good to ask What's that? Yeah, yeah, yeah 535 to 232 I guess but Not not to say any bad about the mark, but I'm actually surprised you got 23 I I did want to say David The the city forester, um, he helped me out with so I just want to say thank you that he did a really nice job You just recognize that he really we had a diss situation where uh, American transmissions could come in through when they're just hacking Yeah Yeah, they don't care and they just go through and Yes, well, then the problem is is this gentleman He's got a he's got an abandoned alley By his property less than he's got the railroads property by his property So and he's kind of treated that his zone for and nobody's said anything or done anything for it for probably 30 years And he's been all happy. He's got all these nice trees planted American transmission came along and said 40 feet doesn't matter But we don't care if it's you know, they're lilac bushes doesn't matter Yeah Yep, yep, they came through and they just you know, but Yeah, well, no, they they they took everything down But he was upset because they were taking everything down because you know, this was his buffer to the railroad tracks there You know, he's you know, there's no, you know, he was upset and You know What is his name is it Um, Tim Yeah, he came and he was he was really good with the guy, you know explain to the guys like, hey, you know, I agree with you This is but We have no we have nothing to say we can't They because they have it's a public safety thing even though You know that tree's never gonna reach 40 feet But they have the rights because it's American transmission and you know He kind of explained it to the gentleman for me and he helped out a lot. I really appreciate that Okay, congrats also I'm still surprised that if you got to 32 Yeah He said to do You know what you Yeah We're good. Yeah, I'm not This is still this is still funny. I got 535, but it was still like really And the thing is is he Yeah, but you're like mark mark went knocking door to door, but he went knocking door to door in this I'm like, I'm not gonna go I'm like, yeah, it's everybody wants to do is walk up to your door Well, it is in his pamphlet was like full of it was so Oh, yeah full of miss spellings and It was all just, you know, well just Copy book, you know, cover machine take off up there.
