    City Manager Wilmet stated that the Chamber of Commerce is requesting Memorial Weekend for the 7th Annual Buckskinners Rendezvous. They will actually need permission for access to the park from Thursday, May 25th for set-up through Monday, May 29th, although the event will only run the 26th-28th.

     

    Cwmn. Behrens, seconded by Cm. Day moved to approve the request by the Chamber of Commerce to use Rock River Park for the annual Buckskinners Rendezvous and to allow access from May 25th through 29th, 2000. The motion carried on a voice vote.

     

    (b) COMMUNICATION FROM STATE OF WISCONSIN NOTIFYING THE CITY OF A GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $64,951 FROM THE NATIONAL RECREATION TRAILS PROGRAM FOR RIVER WALL REHABILITATION.

     

    City Manager Wilmet noted to the Council that a study had been done on the river wall with an estimated cost for rehabilitation of $200,000. The grant signed by Governor Thompson in the amount of $64,951 is an 80% grant and good through June 2001. The City Manager also stated that an additional grant is expected to arrive in July for an amount just over $90,000, which will leave the City portion to be less than $50,000 to repair the river wall. It was also noted that Representative David Ward had helped to make this grant possible.

     

    Representative Ward was in the audience at the Council meeting and Council President Pattow thanked him for his assistance.

     

    Cm. Day, seconded by Cm. Flood moved to accept the communication from the State of Wisconsin notifying the City of a grant in the amount of $64,951 from the National Recreation Trails Program for river wall rehabilitation. The motion carried on a voice vote.

     

    (c) REQUEST FROM FORT YOUTH TACKLE FOOTBALL FOR PERMISSION TO PAINT REFLECTIVE HOME ADDRESSES ON THE CURBS ALONG CITY STREETS.

     

    Mr. Ron Hachtel and Mr. Howard Othmer were present to explain their proposal for reflective home address numbers on the curbs in the City of Fort Atkinson in the residential areas. They stated that this project would be taken on by the football team and that they will be asking for donations from the residents as they go through the City. However, whether a donation is given or not, each residential address will be done on the curb. They also stated that the numbers will be placed near driveways and/or mailboxes in front of the homes where cars generally do no park which would block the numbers. They estimate that the paint will last for a couple of years and the football team will remain responsible for upkeep.

     

    Cm. Johnston, seconded by Cwmn. Behrens moved to approve the request from the Fort Youth Tackle Football for permission to paint reflective home addresses on the curbs along Fort Atkinson City streets in the residential neighborhoods. The motion carried on a voice vote.

  17. NEW BUSINESS

 

(a) APPROVE CONSULTING FIRM FOR DESIGN OF NORTH HIGH STREET PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE NEGOTIATION OF CONTRACT AND DESIGN COSTS.

 

City Manager Wilmet stated that a selection Committee, comprised of six City staff members, met on February 16, 2000 to interview three consultants for the design phase of the North High Street project. Nine consultants filed statements of interest in doing this project. Consultant interviewing/selection was required for this project because state funds are involved. After the interviews, the Committee reviewed the material on each consultant and selected Earth Tech to begin negotiating a contract. The selection was based on previous work in the City, their knowledge of this project, personnel and design timetable. City Manager Wilmet also stated that after the scope of the work is finalized, a design cost and contract will be developed and brought back to the Council for approval.

 

Cm. Flood, seconded by Cm. Day moved to approve the consulting firm of Earth Tech for the design of North High Street project and authorizes the negotiation of project costs and design costs. The motion carried on a voice vote.

 

(b) ANNUAL REPORTS FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITIES.

 

City Manager Wilmet stated that if the Council had any questions on the report for the Water and Wastewater Utility that was before them that Utility Director Sherman was here to answer any questions.

 

President Pattow noted that the Council should note the sewer rate comparison page that shows Fort Atkinson to be in a middle ground compared to about 40 other cities in the southeastern portion of Wisconsin and to also note that Wisconsin is near the bottom of the list and has one of the lowest water rate costs per household of the same 40 communities.

 

Cm. Flood, seconded by Cwmn. Behrens moved to approve the annual reports for the Water and Wastewater Utilities. The motion carried on a voice vote.

 

(c) REVIEW AND APPROVE 1999 COMPLIANCE MAINTENANCE ANNUAL REPORT CMAR AND RESOLUTION FOR WASTEWATER UTILITY.

 

The following resolution was displayed on the overhead projector at this time:

 

RESOLUTION NO. 985

 

BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Fort Atkinson does hereby authorize the filing of the Compliance Maintenance Annual Report as required by Ch. NR208, Wisconsin Administrative Code, and DNR Facility Permit 0022489-6 for the year 1999.

 

The City of Fort Atkinson being the owner and the operator of the Wastewater Utility does hereby inform the Department of Natural Resources that the following actions were taken by the City Council:

 

    1. This Resolution does acknowledge that the governing body has reviewed the C.M.A.R.

 

B. This Resolution further documents that all actions necessary to maintain effluent requirements contained in the WPDES Permit are being adhered to.

 

Wastewater Supervisor Paul Christensen came forward to the podium to review the 1999 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report with the Council. The Wastewater Supervisor noted that the City of Fort Atkinson received an accumulated total of 6 points out of a possible 380 points from the DNR in 1999. He also noted that the lower the points the better the City=s overall status is with the DNR. He stated that the only points that the City Wastewater Utility earned were 6 points or 1 point for each year of the utility=s age. This should mean that there will not be any mandated upgrades needed at the Treatment Plant for quite some time unless there are any rule changes made by the DNR such as for the phosphorous.

 

Cm. Johnston, seconded by Cwmn. Behrens moved to adopt Resolution No. 985 and to approve the 1999 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report for the Wastewater Utility. On call of the roll the motion carried unanimously.

 

(d) REVIEW AND APPROVE 1999 CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT FOR THE WATER UTILITY.

 

Water Supervisor Terry Siglinsky came forward to the podium to address the Council on this report. The Water Supervisor stated that during 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency established amendments to the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act. Within the new amended rules was the requirement for an annual consumer confidence report to be issued and provided to all customers in our distribution system by a direct delivery to every customer. The Water Utility Supervisor stated that the report before the Council is the report that will be placed at every customers door this year. The plan is to have our meter readers provide a copy to our customers during their normal meter reading process. Copies will also be made available to multi unit facilities such as apartment complexes, schools and assisted living units.

 

Cm. Flood, seconded by Cm. Day moved to approve the 1999 Consumer Confidence Report for the Water Utility. The motion carried on a voice vote.

 

(e) REVIEW AND APPROVE QUOTES FOR MAG METER AND PIPING FOR WATER UTILITY AS BUDGETED.

 

City Manager Wilmet stated that for the year 2000 the Water Utility has budgeted $19,000 for replacement of the main station flow meter. The Utility will also address moving the meter from its current location in a sub basement area that periodically floods, and is considered a confined entry. The Utility has received the following quotes for installation of the mag meter above ground:

 

J. F. Ahern $21,351

Westra Construction $17,717

Hooper Corporation $10,620

 

The Utility has also received the following quotes for the mag meter:

Badger Meter $3,655

Mucahy/Tech Sales $4,40l

First Supply $5,700

 

The Water Utility is recommending the purchase of the mag meter from Badger Meter for the $3,655 and the piping modifications to be done by Hooper Corporation for $10,620 for a total cost of $14,275. It is also estimated that there will be some wiring and connection charges to the Utility=s SCADA system and restoration of the pump room at an estimated cost of less than $1,000.

 

Cm. Day, seconded by Cwmn. Behrens moved to recommend the purchase of a mag meter from Badger Meter for $3,655 and the piping modifications to be done by Hooper Corporation for $10,620 and authorizes some rewiring and restoration work in the amount not to exceed $1,000 for a total of $15,275. On call of the roll the motion carried unanimously.

 

(f) REQUEST BY MUSEUM DIRECTOR TO AUTHORIZE RELEASE OF HOARD TRUST FUNDS FOR THE YEAR 2000 CAPITAL PROJECTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $47,800.

 

City Manager Wilmet stated that the year 2000 Capital Improvement Program budget for the Hoard Museum, as approved by the Board of Directors of the Fort Atkinson Historical Society and the City Council, is $52,000. It is anticipated that this Capital Improvement Program monies will come from the City=s portion of the Hoard Trust.

The City Manager stated that there are two major projects to be done at the Museum this year one being a hot water boiler and the second being a new roof for the Museum. He further stated that these individual projects will be brought before the Council when quotes have been received for the Council=s authorization. However, at this time the Museum Director is just asking for the authorization to release $47,800 of the Hoard Trust Funds for the projects to be done this year. That money would be transferred into the City=s General Fund.

 

Cm. Johnston, seconded by Cm. Flood moved to authorize the transfer of $47,800 from the Hoard Trust to the City General Fund for future authorized work projects at the Museum. On call of the roll the motion carried unanimously.

    City Clerk Treasurer Faith Elford asked the Council to review the report before them showing the comparison of the 1999 tax collection as compared to the 1998 collection and noted that due to the growth of the City of Fort Atkinson the total tax collection has grown by over $1,200,000 from 1998 to 1999.
