Task Order Number Nine – Chairman Lois reviewed a task order for environmental services to prepare a Petroleum Environmental Cleanup Fund Act (PECFA) reimbursement claim for the former Wanasek Property located at 372 S. Pine Street.

Ms. Francesca Bumpurs of the Racine County Economic Development Corporation (RCEDC) gave a brief overview of the PECFA program and its requirements. Ms. Bumpurs explained that Kapur and Associates, Inc. have submitted Task Order No. Nine, which is for the preparation and submission of a PECFA reimbursement claim regarding the former Wanasek property. It was explained that it is being submitted at this time, nearly a year later, due to the time required to determine if a PECFA claim would be of financial interested to the City. It was explained that the City had received notice from the State in 2003 that this parcel was eligible for PECFA reimbursement, and that the RCEDC staff, along with Ms. Linda Fellenz of Kapur and Associates, Inc. began compiling the necessary documentation to determine if enough was spent to justify the expense associated with the filing a claim. Additional time was required to compile this information regarding eligibility, as Kapur and Associates, Inc. was not the initial consultant and all of the files were not at hand. It was noted that approximately $19,000 had been expended, therefore justifying the cost of the claim.

Ms. Linda Fellenz of Kapur and Associates, Inc. then explained how the claim process has progressed for this property, as well as the required documents involved. She further explained that there would likely be a savings (by approximately one third) with regard to the proposed $1,800 for the preparation of the claim, due to the fact that many of the documents were available at the City. Ms. Fellenz went on to explain the claim process, noting that it is anticipated that the City would get back approximately $15,000.

Commissioner Scherrer moved and Commissioner Peterson seconded to approve Task Order Number Nine with Kapur and Associates for environmental services to prepare a PECFA reimbursement claim regarding the former Wanasek Property located at 372 S. Pine Street for the not-to-exceed amount of $1,805.00. Roll Call: Ayes: Anderson, Lois, Miller, Peterson and Scherrer. Nays: None. All were in favor and the motion carried.

Tax Incremental Fund Legislation Update – City Administrator, David Torgler, updated the Community Development Authority (CDA) members on the new Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) legislation and the impact it will have on Burlington’s Tax Incremental (TIF) Districts.

Other Matters– None.

Commissioner Miller motioned and Commissioner Scherrer seconded to adjourn. All were in favor and the meeting adjourned at 5:47 p.m.
