4. Topic: Resolution 4115(10) extending the deadline to complete public street improvements for the Glen at Stonegate Subdivision, Addition One.

Presenter: Tom Foht

Purpose: Stonegate Development Group, LLC entered into a Developer’s Agreement on August 15, 2006 for Addition One of the Glen at Stonegate Subdivision. Said agreement requires construction of public utilities and street improvements with a deadline of June 1, 2007. Due to weather related issues, Stonegate Development Group, LLC is requesting an extension to complete the improvements to July 31, 2007. City staff and the City Engineer have reviewed this request and feel there would be no hardship to the community if this extension is granted. Inasmuch as the deadline of June 1, 2007 is past, and there is a recommendation from staff and the City Engineer to grant the requested extension this item is included on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.

Presenter: Larry Gobel

Purpose: Consideration to approve the final step in the special assessment process for new sidewalk construction on Origen Street and N. Pine Street. A public hearing regarding this matter was held at the March 20^th City Council meeting and this special assessment was discussed with Ms. Hoffman prior to the land sale to her being completed. The completion of the sale of land to Ms. Cass Hoffman by the CDA occurred on May 24, 2007. With past practices of the City the proposed assessments for new sidewalk construction may be paid in cash or in five annual installments with an interest rate which is ½ percent over the borrowing rate experienced by the City at or about the time of the letting for this work. The rate will be 5% and is stated in the final resolution and the City Clerk will mail a copy of this resolution to Ms. Hoffman, as well as an installment notice per the 2007 Street and Sidewalk bid award. Due to this item being previously presented to the Committee of the Whole and that there was a Public Hearing held by the Council, and this matter has been discussed with the affected property owner as an obligation if they bought this land from the CDA, this item will move on to tonight’s Council meeting for consideration.

Purpose: Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 67, a notice to the electors must be published as a Class 1 notice, i.e. it must be published once and in the Official Newspaper of the City. As with item 6 above, this item should be considered at the same time and has therefore been placed on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.

8. Topic: Resolution 4120(15) providing for the sale of not-to-exceed $1,500,00.00 General Obligation Street Improvement Bonds.

Purpose: To direct Ehler’s and Associates, our municipal bond counselor, to advertise and solicit bids for the sale by the City of $1,500,000 in General Obligation Bonds.

Purpose: The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources requires the annual completion of a Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) which will evaluate and document the performance and condition of the wastewater utility during the past year. The City’s wastewater treatment plant received an excellent rating of 3.95 out of 4.0.

10. Topic: Resolution 4122(17) appointing an authorized representative to file applications for financial assistance from the State of Wisconsin Environmental Improvement Fund.

Presenter: Connie Wilson

Purpose: The Council needs to appoint an authorized representative to file applications for the State of Wisconsin Environmental Improvement Fund. This fund provides state financial assistance for improvements to the sanitary sewer main facilities and was discussed previously with the Council as a low interest loan program for municipal sanitary sewer improvement projects. For this loan program, and consistent with our Clean Water Fund applications, it is recommended that the Utility Manager be appointed as the City’s representative. Due to previous discussions and the timeliness of our projects this issue it has been placed on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.

11. Topic: Resolution 4123(18) declaring official intent to reimburse expenditures from proceeds of borrowing.

Presenter: Connie Wilson

Purpose: To consider adoption of a reimbursement resolution which the Council should adopt to make sure that expenditures made for Phase 1 of the WWTP improvement project prior to the State’s issuance of the Clean Water Fund Bonds can later be reimbursed with the proceeds of the Bonds. Inasmuch as any expenditures the City makes more than 60 days prior to adopting this resolution will not be eligible for reimbursement, unless they fit into the "preliminary expenditure" exception, and that this issue has been discussed with the Council several times during the past and is included in the 2007 budget, this item has been placed on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration.

12. Topic: Resolution 4116(11) approving Change Order 1 for the reservoir for Municipal Well #11 construction project for the amount of $745.00.

Presenter: Connie Wilson

Presenter: David Walsh

Purpose: Consideration of an ordinance increasing the point value assigned to a liquor license violation when the licensee (or their representative) sells alcohol to an underage person. Currently each underage sale is assessed at 40 points. Since it takes 100 points in a one-year period to trigger a hearing before the City Council it takes three sales before that happens. Increasing the point value to 50 points will trigger a hearing after two violations in the same one-year period. Alderman Girolamo has requested that this issue be included on tonight’s Council agenda for consideration as liquor licenses are renewed during the month of June, and it would make good sense to alert the sellers of the change when they apply.

14. Topic: Motion 07-542 approving the partial closure of Maryland Avenue for the Annual Tri-County Riders Toy Run.

Presenter: David Walsh

Purpose: Consideration of a request from the Tri-County riders to close Maryland Avenue on September 9, 2007 from the Wanasek Building to Milwaukee Avenue from 7:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. for the Annual Toy Run to benefit Love, Inc. Per the request an access lane will be left open between Milwaukee Avenue and the composting site for residents.
