 It's 5.30. I'll call the meeting to order. Roll call. We'll start out right away on Alderperson Ackley, Alderperson Phillips, Alderperson Savaglio. Present. Alderperson Sorenson. Here. And myself is here, so we'll start out with the Pledge of Allegiance. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay, I want to do a quick introduction of the staff. Who do we all have here tonight? Maybe we'll just go down there. Just quick introduction. I'm sorry. Okay, okay. Ryan Sosblood, Department of Public Works. Kevin Jones, Public Works. David Bebal, Public Works. Okay. Okay, and we have Thomas Cameron online, and I believe that's it's online for staff. And Bernie Robber and Joe Curlin online. Okay. Yep, Joe Curlin here. Okay. Alrighty, go to 2.1. Approve a little minutes. Move to approve last meeting's minutes. Second. Motion has been made and seconded. Is there any discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Go to 3.1. We're going to do 3.1 and 3.2 together. Resolution 108, 2021, October 19, 2020. Document 4.5 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a 5 foot wide underground electric easement for Wisconsin Power and Light Company at Kiwanis Park, parcel number 59281500170 in resolution 109, 2021, October 19, 2020. Document 4.6 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a 10 by 10 underground electric easement for Wisconsin Power and Light Company at Kiwanis Park, number 59281500170. David? Yes, Mr. Chairman. All I'm going to do is I'm going to turn this over for these two documents for the city engineer, Ryan Sasma, to further give some further background down on the need for these. Okay. Yeah, Align Energy is upgrading all of their underground utilities in the Kiwanis Park area just because it's dated. So what they basically need is just some additional easements to do these upgrades. And it's not just for the Kiwanis Park, it's for the neighborhoods above South 17th Street and some of the neighborhoods to the West. So that's basically what this is. They just need extra easement space in order to construct it. Okay. I guess since we're here, why? Are the pipes bigger? Yeah, it's old. The underground is old. Plus the biggest thing they want to do is they want to be able to serve this neighborhood from two areas, like say from the North and the South. In case once one of these utilities get knocked out due to some type of damage, they can serve that neighborhood from another. So it's called a loop system. They don't have that here. Okay. It's real common. Some of the older parts of the city have to have a loop system and they try to tie those ends up as soon as they can. So that's what it's for mostly. Thank you. Okay. Anyone else have any comments, questions? I'll make a motion to approve 3.1 and 3.2. Second. Motion's been made and seconded. Is there any other discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Okay. Resolution 110-2021, October 2020, document 4.7. Resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute supplemental amendment. Number two, the Department of Army Lease, number DACW35-1-03-3001, which authorized public park and recreational improvements on certain federal property along Lake Michigan, near the Subling River. Director? Yes, Mr. Chairman. This is basically a reauthorization of a right of access or occupying the area which is what we typically call is the end of South Pier Drive. They call the SAC and there's some area there that's green space. They're occupying it right now as they're staging and construction area. What this does is the contractor that is currently doing the job also got the second half project which was a separate bid. They also were awarded that contract. They're asking the Army Corps of Engineers is asking to continue this lease until the project's done. That's why this is asking for a longer period. So I know Thomas Cameron, Thomas Cameron, assistant city attorney worked on this as well. So I would also defer to him. He could provide maybe some further detail in terms of the purposes and the the lease agreement, the structure of it. In other words. And if I may, Alderperson Decker, just a little bit of clarification on this one. Okay, go ahead. We've got a number of agreements with the Army Corps. Since they've got much of the land directly on Lake Shigan. This particular lease isn't so much on the South Pier area. It relates a little bit farther up the area. It's more of the Sheboygan Harbor area. And what's going on here is just due to a reorganization of the lease or excuse me, a reorganization of the Army Corps. They need to change some references in a contract from the Chicago district to the Detroit district perspective. Nothing, nothing is changing. But there are these technical amendments. So it's just basically a cleanup of language, basically changing it over a cleanup of language based on their reorganization. Okay. I'll make a motion to approve. Was that a second? I just heard something. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Any other comments? Hello? Go ahead. I just called it. I made the second. That's all. Okay. All right, motions are made second. Is there any other discussion? All is in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. Motion passes. All righty. Resolution 3.4 is a resolution 111-2021 October 1920 document 4.8 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with full infrastructure and environment LLC for services related to the south side sanitary sewer study. David? Yes, Mr. Chairman. Folth is already engaged for the interceptor project that we've talked about along the Lakeshore. This is also, no, we've, we're working with them to review the south side sanitary sewer area. This is a large area with impacts. I would say anywhere from Washington Avenue, southward into the new business center that has just recently constructed and incorporates several areas of town of Wilson as well. We've been working collaboratively with them on joint planning, knowing long-term future planning of sanitary sewer needs are critical to share that information and work together so forth. This project's kind of broken up into phases. What we're really, this first phase is just a small portion of the larger study and really it's concentrating on probably our most critical need and it's the, it would be the what I would say the Weeding Creek Sanitary Sewer Interceptor and that's the sewer that runs mainly right down Weeding Creek or County Trunk EE from self-business drive to Lakeshore Drive and eventually to the the wastewater treatment plant. We know that that sewer is going to be undersized especially with long-term buildout and planning with subdivision growth as well as the business center of in and of itself. Weeding Creek is scheduled to be reconstructed in 2024, 2025, 2025. We want to get ahead of that so we can get infrastructure put in before that road's reconstructed. This alternative is really looking at a potential cost savings by actually rerouting this and using the existing Alliant Energy Utility Corridor and we're going to look at this study. It could really save significant dollars because the sewer that's in Weeding Creek Road is very deep and the soils there are very poor so it gets expensive. Some estimates were from seven million to nine million just for that run. So we're looking to enter into contract before for this phase of portion. The initial phase here is roughly right around 13,000. The other aspects that are larger in scale would be more long-term planning and be developed over time. So that's what this agreement would be approving this evening and looking for to answer any questions or and the committee approval. Anyone have any questions? Second. Motion made for approval. Seconded. Any other discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. Motion passes. Okay let's see here. 3.5 resolution 112 2021 October 19 2020. Document 4.9 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with wonder construction incorporated for grading and related work at the Buttson Farm Property for the Buttson Sports Complex. Yes Mr. Chairman. I'm going to tag team this this evening. I want the engineers that are present to give a little background on the design and the work that they put into it. Also it gives me an opportunity to introduce two key engineers on our staff, Kevin Jump and Tim Moyer. Tim Moyer recently that we brought on as part of our reorganization. I think it's important to let them talk about what they did in terms of the execution of getting this first phase here, the initial kickoff phase. I think it's a really exciting opportunity. This project's been in the capital improvements for the past I say four to five years. The money's just been carried over until an appropriate time when the project was ready to be moved forward. So with that maybe I'll turn it over to Ryan first. He can talk about the IFC, the information about some of the background that led up to this and then he'll introduce the staff as well. Okay. I'd just like to give a little bit of history on this property. Back in the early 1990s the Buttson State donated this property approximately 38-40 acres to the city of Sheboygan with the contingency that had to be used for recreational purposes and pretty much the land is this sad vacant until about 2015 it became aware that the city needed additional multi-use fields for recreational use. So in 2015 the Department of Public Works hired a Rettler Corporation which that's what they do. They specialize in developing sports complex and they pretty much gave us a master plan in 2015 after we went back and forth in the design and that's where we are today. There's definitely a need for these additional multi-use fields throughout the city and we have the staff here to take their design. We realize we're not going to be doing all the work that Rettler came up with in 2015 but we just want to do a portion of it just to get the project started. And I'll have Tim talk about the design but the design is to have to get these initial soccer fields in so whatever we do the next phase we're not going to be doing a lot of extra regrading so we can pretty much use the fields. The fields might be adjusted but won't be moving 55,000 yards of dirt like we are with this with this phase, this first phase of it. So that's where we are. That's the history of the properties have been sitting vacant for since since the early 90s so almost 30 years. Tim you want to come up and talk about your design a little bit? In addition after Tim we also have representatives of Lake Shore and the Buttson Sports Complex group here to answer also questions. Okay so Tim. Hi the way we set the design for the project is we based it off of the study that was initially done and all of the preliminary grades they set. So the portion that we're grading now for the fields that will be usable in in this interim were set so that they match the elevations for the future plan. Okay so we're not this isn't a wasted effort. Everything that's being done now is something that would be needed later. The only difference right now is because we don't know where that master plan is going to wind up going at some point instead of having them haul the excess material away we're having them stockpile it in one of the corners. So they're just building up so at for the early stage now it'll actually be cheaper because they're not moving the material off site. But we're getting four full-size fields and four of the U-sized fields and everything will just be green space like it is now and and but it'll all be usable parkland you know for soccer to play on. So are we including any parking or anything with this art first? Are we do we at this point we have areas that will be graded for parking but it's going to be just grass because they're not planning on holding events and things that at this point that's something that would have to be done later. But now everything will be graded out where they'll have access and there will be grass parking areas for the for the users of the facility. One of the things that we're looking at is this first phase is just development of the fields and grading and gravel and actually in spring we're actually because because the bids came in so favorable we had nine contractors bid which is a great amount we typically don't see that many contractors bids was very competitive the price is very very competitive which leaves there's some money available still within this project budget. What we're going to look at is there's some structures here's the old farmhouse out there some barn there's a foundation that could be part in spring we're looking at probably doing a demo project and then at that time maybe you know upgrading the parking area a little bit more substantial versus just grass just to make the site more open and safer for all the occupants and participants as well. So probably something in spring once we see the fields get developed and graded and and get grass on them that would be a separate contract different types of contractors would bid on that type of work versus just this mass grading and planting. So I I don't know if there's you know any questions I you know I we have representatives here if you'd like to hear from from the group I know they've they've been very excited they've made numerous presentations I think we're all familiar with the project but I mean I think it'd be nice to at least have something said I think they're you know anxious and they're looking for your support as well. Well if you'd like to go ahead. Well thank you Mr. Chairman for having us again this is our second visit with everyone. I have with me tonight I have seated to my right I have Chris Lacey who's our director of operations I have our club president Tony Cloco also seated to my right and then our admin Don Cloco seated to his right and we're all here to answer any questions that any of you may have tonight. As David indicated the project has been and as Ryan had indicated I think the history of the project is well known I don't think there's any need to rehash it it's a money has been appropriated for some time as David indicated the we were pleasantly surprised by the bidding process and the bid coming in relatively low if you will leaving us some extra proceeds maybe to develop future parking or other amenities there but as a whole the club's very excited we're looking to get shovel in the ground as we indicated at our last meeting and we think we're on the precipice of doing that tonight so we're we're really excited to be here and we're glad to answer any questions anyone may have does anyone have any questions go ahead Marcus thank you so I had heard just moments ago that you aren't planning on using the site at this point in time what what is what are you anticipating would be the first safe time to do games well I hate to give answers like it depends but it really does depend a lot on several factors the first of which being weather depending on how the growing seasons go it also depends on how the grass actually comes in and how the facility itself going forward looks we're hopeful that maybe we have next fall maybe it's the spring afterward again I hate to give answers like it depends but I think that's a I think next fall is optimistic but we're certainly hopeful with with all the unknowns out there today I think it depends is a great answer as long as you can give me a time frame so thank you you're welcome thank you I agree I think you're gonna have you know to get the to get the grass started is the heart the biggest thing I mean that that it doesn't it doesn't grow overnight it takes to get a good solid field that you really want to play on you it you know if you just you want to definitely want to have some time for that give that a give it a chance to grow before you start developing other things and I think that's the way to go to get to get the fields growing first before you do anything else so do you mind if I ask one more question sure Gordon this one might go for Mr. Bebel though we're just voting to move dirt today and that's the only thing correct which what what what you're doing is getting the contract to to basically put in those four large fields and four smaller fields is that this diagram this phase zero picture that's it yep just that that will be all graded grading and input and then grass seed will be put down and then they'll establish it in spring and then it's like they were saying it and and Mr. Chairman is also indicated it's going to take a while for it to fertilize grow and get get thick enough to actually be usable in other words so but again while that's happening as we talked with the money left over development plans in terms of some of those other amenities will be taking place so it's not they can be separate and they can be developed at different timelines yeah just making sure that it's grass seed and dirt and we're not putting up anything else not at this point that's right thank you anyone else have any questions make a motion to approve nope I'll move all second okay motion's been made and seconded any other comments all those in favor aye chair votes aye any opposed motion carries we're all set already 3.6 resolution 113 2021 uh document 4.1 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with speck electric incorporated to upgrade the access control and intercom system at the schweigen police department yes mr. chairman we have captain cub from the police department he's here to talk about the project and give some background okay great good evening so this project for the access control system at the police department of 1315 north 23rd street it was actually part of a much larger project in which we're overhauling the h-fax system and placing a new control systems in because our the company that built the building contracted to have that access control entry system be part of the h-fax control software now that we're replacing that software and those controllers we need to replace the control the access control system originally this was bid out it estimated to be $49,000 or so in the timeframe between when we got the estimates and when we actually got bids materials and labor went up to about $61,000 was the low bid that we got from spec so we've been in contact with the city administrator we believe that there's going to be some money reserved in capital improvements that would cover that gap but if not we have some account monies that we can use to cover that gap questions i've got a couple of questions regarding security here are you saying that the access control to the building will be now handled to the cloud it won't be it won't be in the cloud we have some internet capability with this system but we're going to have services installed at the pd at the police department itself and there's going to be an application at the police department itself but this when i say access control this is the log of who enters and who leaves the the swipe controllers that we have on the outside of this building and on the sheriff's department those are the logs that will go through an internet application but they'll retain be retained and available at the pd gotcha um so if i'm hearing you correctly um the ability to change access levels like my badge should not open the police door that happens locally and that's the log that would be yes okay thank you yes and now that was really the desire when we went out and sought this so we could have interoperability with city hall and with the sheriff's department anybody that would need swipe card access to the building okay if i may mr chairman right now the officers don't have we don't have the ability to program the officers badges or fobs to be able to be able to gain access to city hall or the municipal service building as an example that's because the existing system is it's it's a proprietary system and it doesn't play well with typical access control systems that also will allow the police department to provide access to the police department building by perhaps some sheriff's department employees dispatch personnel things like that the dispatch center at the police department is the backup dispatch center for the county and there potentially could be a need at some point in time to be able to gain access this will allow cross functionality between not only between city buildings but also between law enforcement agencies thank you very i i just i i see a very great need for this to go through and i that's the only comment i can go ahead make a motion to approve second motion made and seconded any other comments all those in favor aye any opposed chair votes aye motion passes next meeting date is november 10th 2020 i'll entertain a motion to adjourn so moved second just made and seconded all in favor aye and any opposed we're adjourned
