1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040 Tuesday, May 19th, here at City Hall, 630. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,200 All council members are present. 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,240 Please join with me for the Pledge of Allegiance. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,720 I pledge allegiance to the flag 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,780 of the United States of America 6 00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:18,240 and to the Republic for which it stands, 7 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,000 one nation under God, indivisible, 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000 with liberty and justice for all. 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,540 Thank you, everyone. 10 00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:29,800 All right, so that brings us into the agenda this evening. 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120 The first agenda item is public comments and appearances. 12 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,020 Please remember that if you have public comments 13 00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:37,040 or comments this evening, you have up to three minutes. 14 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,120 And we maintain the right to close out public comments 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,160 after 30 minutes. 16 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:42,960 Is there anyone with public comments? 17 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Could you please sign that clipboard as well? 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,200 Thank you. 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,640 Name and address. 20 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,280 My name is Dean Wiegert. 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,360 I'm at 3708 East Northport Drive in the town of Port. 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,200 I'm here because I would like to encourage all city residents 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,520 to drive north on KW because LL is closed again to Lake Road. 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,760 Take Lake Road while you still can, 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,920 through the middle of the data center property, 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,840 see the wondrous sites, see the amazing equipment, 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600 see the land transformed. 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,120 Look to the north of Lake Road, just west of LL, 29 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,240 see the rows of what look like barracks or house trailers. 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,600 We were told there'd be no worker camps on the site, 31 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,400 no living quarters, ask yourself what those trailers are. 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,320 Take this drive on a hot day, maybe when it's 75 or 80, 33 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,960 when there's been no rain for a while, 34 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,080 when a good stiff 15 to 25 mile per hour wind 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000 is coming from the south or west. 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,400 Don't open your car windows and maybe turn off 37 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,280 the air conditioning and fan. 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560 The dust may not be good for your car. 39 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,480 The dust isn't really good for anything. 40 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,200 It must be okay though because I don't see 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,560 the workers wearing respirators 42 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080 and I don't know why OSHA doesn't require that. 43 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,480 The dust is pretty thick. 44 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440 From a mile away, it looks like fog. 45 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,960 But it is coming from the data center, 46 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,200 from all that open disturbed soil, 47 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,960 causing air quality issues that are not being addressed. 48 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,400 Timing is important. 49 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,640 Had heading back home, you'll have to take KW again. 50 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,440 Go about 430 or five. 51 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,080 You'll get to experience an actual rush hour traffic jam 52 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,600 right here on Country County Roads. 53 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640 First, you'll see the Hardworking Sheriff's Department 54 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,920 Office are standing there directing traffic. 55 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,840 As if the Sheriff's Department had nothing better 56 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,880 to do than facilitate data center construction. 57 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,600 You may even get to experience sitting 58 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040 in a three quarter mile line of cars and trucks, 59 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,400 not moving, just sitting there waiting for traffic to move. 60 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,200 Imagine living on that road, people do. 61 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,520 And then when you finally get on to H to go back 62 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,520 over the freeway, you'll probably get lucky again 63 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,520 and the state patrol will stop you 64 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,080 so that the long line of cars waiting at the southbound, 65 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,360 43 exit can get off the ramp. 66 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,440 Glance across the freeway, 67 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000 you'll see the long line of dump trucks, cement trucks, 68 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720 and other cars and trucks backed up all the way down 69 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,880 the I-43 northbound exit ramp, 70 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,080 trying to get back to the data center. 71 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Ask yourself how those state patrol officers 72 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,680 could make better use of their time. 73 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,440 What's not getting done because they're directing traffic? 74 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Ask yourself why Vantage wasn't required to have a plan 75 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,920 for getting hundreds of trucks and thousands of workers 76 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,720 in and out of the data center site 77 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,040 without putting a strain on our County Roads, 78 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,560 our County Sheriff's Officers, our state patrol. 79 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,920 It's almost like no one thought 80 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,640 about how much traffic there would be. 81 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,200 Ask yourself why the city officials didn't think 82 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,240 of demanding that Vantage have a plan. 83 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,240 Since they took over Highland Road, 84 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,440 why wasn't their first action to make a south entrance 85 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720 onto the site to facilitate that traffic 86 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120 without impacting all the rest of us? 87 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520 It's easy to say that they wanna be a trusted neighbor 88 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,200 and partner, it's a little bit harder 89 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880 to actually demonstrate that. 90 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Thank you for your time. 91 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,040 I just wanna make one clarifying point, 92 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,120 sir, from your comments, 93 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080 is there is no housing on that site at all. 94 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,680 We were out there yesterday and that is office space 95 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360 that was brought in to support the construction project. 96 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,640 So thank you for bringing that to our attention. 97 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,120 All of those trailers. 98 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,560 Yes, sir, all of them. 99 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,320 They're still coming. 100 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720 So any other public comments or appearances? 101 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,520 Any other public comments or appearances? 102 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,160 Okay, we're gonna move into the agenda. 103 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,000 The next agenda item is the consent agenda. 104 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,440 Is there anyone willing to make a motion 105 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,360 on the consent agenda? 106 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,200 So moved. 107 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,040 Second. 108 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,880 There's a motion and a second. 109 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,800 Any questions or concerns on the motion? 110 00:04:23,760

00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,000 All right, motion carries. 115 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,520 That brings us into Mayor's business. 116 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,720 I've just got a couple of quick things here. 117 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,600 First, Council, I had sent you over the weekend 118 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,760 the Board's Commissions and Committee structure 119 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,560 for my recommendations for this year 120 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,880 and appointments for this year. 121 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,840 Many people willing to continue to serve 122 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:48,120 and many new people on the commissions. 123 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Again, working hard to have a nice diverse balance 124 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,400 of both men and women and diversity 125 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,320 on those boards and commissions. 126 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,480 And I'm still holding open the one appointment 127 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,280 which is the Police and Fire Commission 128 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,480 until I have finished interviewing a couple of people. 129 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200 But otherwise, any other questions for me on that? 130 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Otherwise looking for your approval for those appointments. 131 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,160 I'll move to approve. 132 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,000 Second. 133 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,240 There's a motion to approve in a second. 134 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,040 Any questions or concerns on that motion? 135 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,880 All right, seeing none. 136 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,400 All in favor, signify by saying aye. 137 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,240 Aye. 138 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,160 Opposed? 139 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,400 All right, the motion carries. 140 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Again, members of the community 141 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,320 who serve on these boards, commissions, 142 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,520 and committees will be contacted. 143 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,720 We do a training, but we also wanna just thank them 144 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,160 for their commitment to serving in Port Washington. 145 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,880 All right, that brings me to my next agenda item 146 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,720 which is an EMS Fire Week proclamation. 147 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,640 You heard three minutes ago the ambulance 148 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,840 and support vehicles take off. 149 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,400 There was a car accident and they called me 150 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,000 so they would not be here tonight. 151 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 So this week is the fire and EMS week. 152 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,040 I have a proclamation and what I'm gonna do 153 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720 is I'm gonna take it to the fire station myself 154 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,560 and deliver it to them. 155 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,400 But I would ask all community members to recognize 156 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,120 that this week is EMS week in the city 157 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320 of Port Washington and across the country 158 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,360 and that we now have a full-time fire service 159 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120 and EMS service thanks to the community passing 160 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,920 the referendum and the vision of our current fire chief, 161 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Joe DeBore, and just if you have the opportunity 162 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,920 to see the men, women, and people who serve 163 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880 and support our city to thank them for doing so. 164 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,840 That then leaves me into the mayor updates, 165 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:20,960 just a couple of quick things. 166 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,920 One is I just wanted to extend a gratitude 167 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,920 to Susan, Melissa, Dan also, and Mary Lou. 168 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Yesterday I had my mayors for the day. 169 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,600 So we had six fourth graders who had a really, 170 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,560 I think pretty cool day. 171 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,320 They started out their morning here, 172 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,040 they got sworn in by Susan 173 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,120 and their parents and grandparents were here. 174 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,480 Very interesting how it all comes full circle. 175 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,720 Our former city administrator's granddaughter was here, 176 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,200 so he got to experience coming in 177 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,080 and seeing his granddaughter potentially having the authority 178 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,320 over her grandpa, so that was pretty fun. 179 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,040 And then we also had, for the first time ever, 180 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,680 second family member who was a mayor for the day. 181 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,160 So the three brothers in the family 182 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,600 and the school voted the middle brother in. 183 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,440 So we had a good day, 184 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,000 went from here to the police fire safety center, 185 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,480 where they got a tour of the new police and fire safety center. 186 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,120 One of the things I think is most remarkable 187 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,720 about young people, and I'm gonna invite them 188 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,680 to come in July or August, 189 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,240 is their questions are the exact same questions 190 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,800 that you find anywhere else. 191 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,640 So they wanted to know, 192 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,840 like, why are we building a house 193 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,320 for the fire chief in the back? 194 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,080 And it's like, that's not a house 195 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960 for the fire chief, it's a burn center. 196 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,000 You know, they asked a lot of questions 197 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,280 of law enforcement and the fire chief as well. 198 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,840 The fire chief and Lieutenant Kenoski 199 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,360 did something pretty deep for the young. 200 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,800 People who were with me yesterday, 201 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,600 they were allowed, they signed the floor. 202 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,760 So in what will be the training area in the community room, 203 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,040 they took a Sharpie marker and they rode on there on this day, 204 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,560 the mayors all signed the floor. 205 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,400 So they all signed the floor, 206 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,240 and that was pretty cool. 207 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,200 They'll be carpeted over, 208 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960 but that carpet will be replaced in 30 years. 209 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,320 Chris's replacement will be like, 210 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,720 hey, we found a bunch of old mayor signatures on the floor, 211 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240 and they'll run a fun little story in the press for them. 212 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,200 From there, it goes along with the beam up. 213 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,520 It goes along with the beam, yeah. 214 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,360 Which is really cool. 215 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Which they also signed, I found out. 216 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,200 So then from there, we went up to the Vantage data center site 217 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440 and the Vantage team, the Michaels team and the Turner team, 218 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,640 treated the kids to a really cool tour of the site. 219 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,320 They had all their PPE gear on. 220 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,600 I don't know why, but they also got sunglass safety gear. 221 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,480 So they thought they all looked like a little bunch 222 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,600 of superheroes in their safety gear. 223 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,000 And again, asking amazing questions. 224 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,800 So very proud of our school system in Port Washington. 225 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,000 Had a nice, dignitary lunch. 226 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,920 They got to meet their state representative, 227 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,320 the sheriff and a candidate who's running for governor. 228 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,280 Missy Hughes joined us, 229 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,000 because she was at the tour for the site. 230 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,680 And then they went and renamed the streets. 231 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:47,880 So they unveiled the streets. 232 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Rob, please make sure to share our gratitude with JD. 233 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,120 He did a really nice job. 234 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640 Lincoln Elementary brought out their entire student body. 235 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,600 So the kids did a 3-2-1 and it was very, very cool piece. 236 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,960 And then from there, we went and visited some local businesses 237 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,280 to say thank you to them. 238 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200 And of course, ended our day with some ice cream, 239 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920 which two cans donated to the young kids. 240 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,440 And then when they realized that it was free, 241 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,520 they wanted more. 242 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,280 So, but it was a very good day of learning. 243 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,120 And I also just wanted to thank, again, 244 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,920 we did the same thing on Friday for seniors. 245 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,320 So it was a very cool opportunity for me 246 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,520 to work with our seasoned citizens and our newest citizens. 247 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,320 And they did the same tour as well. 248 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,680 So very, very good day. 249 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,320 So I just wanted to thank everybody for that, 250 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,880 especially Joe and Kevin and Lieutenant Kenoski 251 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,680 for the extra time they gave. 252 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:33,560 That's all I have for mayors, updates. 253 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,160 Any questions for me about anything? 254 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400 Deb, again, thank you for co-hosting with me on Friday 255 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,520 with the seniors. 256 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,120 It's a good day. 257 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,960 It was certainly my pleasure. 258 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,200 And I've said this to multiple people. 259 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,760 When I graduated from high school, 260 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720 females were not allowed to do many things. 261 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,640 I was blown away by the number of women 262 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,240 operating huge equipment and dump trucks on that site. 263 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320 So very happy to see that. 264 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,160 And thank you. 265 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,000 Great opportunity. 266 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,680 Yeah. 267 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040 And the lead of the project, Victoria, 268 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,040 was on our tour with us. 269 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400 So it was a very cool day. 270 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,280 OK, that brings us into officer and staff reports. 271 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,880 I'll never miss an opportunity to share our department head 272 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240 updates that are on the administration page each month. 273 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,400 They're usually 20 pages or more. 274 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040 So all the updates are there each month. 275 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,320 I encourage you all to take a look at those. 276 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Two things for next meeting. 277 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,200 I believe we have the bike plan coming to the next meeting. 278 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,600 Is that right, Rob? 279 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,880 And that should be exciting. 280 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,320 And then we also have the audit next month, 281 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,000 or the next meeting too, so those 282 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,360 who will be exciting for the June second meeting. 283 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,720 And then I just wanted to announce 284 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,960 we are hiring over 80 people for summer health temporary. 285 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,600 We get the summer kids in. 286 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880 They'll start mowing, and we'll get things going. 287 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,880 You may see a little extra long grass right now, 288 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680 but we will get to it because we wait until summer when 289 00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,160 they're back from school that we can have them help the city out 290 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,440 instead of having awful time employees. 291 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,000 And we had two retirements. 292 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040 One will be June 15th. 293 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440 The chief of police is retiring. 294 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,240 And July 3rd, our building inspector, 295 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,680 is retiring after many years here. 296 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,960 And then our receptionist out front here, 297 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,760 she took a position in her career path. 298 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,960 So we're very proud of her, too. 299 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,120 She's looking at accounting. 300 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000 So we're sad to see her goal, but we 301 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,320 are recruiting for that position in a few summer positions. 302 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600 So check those out online if you have any kids, 303 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,840 or grandkids that are interested, Mattel? 304 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600 I just had one addition. 305 00:11:36,600 -->

00:12:17,360 And it'll be mobilizing in mid-June, so just a few weeks away. 322 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,200 And they have it scheduled for completion in mid-September. 323 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,600 So the road will be open at all times to through traffic, 324 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,680 other than nighttime work for about five days 325 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,480 when they paved the roundabout. 326 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,920 And also, congratulations on your the Lighthouse Award. 327 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,240 You went up to Sturgeon Bay for? 328 00:12:35,240 -->

00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,280 So public here. 400 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280 The next is a public hearing on proposed text 401 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,960 to section 48 or 485-170 402 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,840 of the city of Port Washington zoning code 403 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,320 to allow indoor storage uses 404 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,640 in existing industrial plan developments. 405 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,520 I'm going to call that hearing to order. 406 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,000 Notice this here by giving that this is a public hearing 407 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080 of the common council on Tuesday, May 19th at 630 here 408 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,200 at City Hall. 409 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Notice is further given that the subject of the hearing 410 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,680 is a proposed text amendment to section 485-170 411 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,320 of the city of Port Washington zoning code 412 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,720 to allow indoor storage uses in existing 413 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,640 industrial plan developments. 414 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,960 And at this time, is there anyone willing 415 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,840 to speak in favor of this agenda 416 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,200 or this proposed text amendment? 417 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,080 Any speakers in favor? 418 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,880 Any speakers against? 419 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,040 Are there any speakers against? 420 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,720 Okay, seeing none, I'm going to close this hearing 421 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,480 and move us into the agenda item, 422 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,800 which is consideration of possible action 423 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,800 on ordinance 2026-02, amending the zoning ordinance 424 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,560 relating to permitted uses by right in the one 425 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,840 or the I-1 existing industrial 426 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,280 and I-2 industrial park zone districts. 427 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,760 City of Port Washington is the applicant. 428 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,560 This is the second reading, meaning we can take action. 429 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,560 The issue is should the council amend section 485-170 430 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,320 of the city of Port Washington zoning code 431 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,080 to add indoor storage to the list of permitted uses 432 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,240 for existing industrial plan developments. 433 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Mr. Harris. 434 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,520 Okay, so this ordinance change 435 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,920 or this proposed ordinance change 436 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,320 is pretty self-explanatory. 437 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,880 What it would do is formally codify indoor storage 438 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,880 as a permitted use in our industrial plan developments. 439 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,400 Those are generally, those are all, in this case, 440 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840 kind of those business bar and formats 441 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,840 and of various mixed uses of light industrial uses. 442 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680 And just as we've gotten to approved, 443 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,880 once been approved for about seven years now, maybe six, 444 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,680 one is under construction now. 445 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,640 And just meeting with police and fire, 446 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,720 discussing some of the issues they've gone 447 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,000 on in their inspections. 448 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,640 I think we just kind of made a determination 449 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,320 and concurrence by the plan commission 450 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,600 that indoor storage would be a passive use 451 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,600 and kind of an acceptable use in terms of both the use 452 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,400 and the layout of these types of plan developments. 453 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,000 This went to plan commission. 454 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,360 This was unanimously recommended 455 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,840 for the council to approve. 456 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,720 Yeah, and again, having chaired planning commission, 457 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,120 we had had the discussion on this. 458 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,280 And frankly, with our industrial park 459 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,200 and the lack of any interest in bringing light 460 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240 or any other types of manufacturing, 461 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,160 we believe this to be a good use of that property. 462 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,280 So any other questions for Bob or concerns or comments? 463 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:10,520 I'll move to approve. 464 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,760 Mr. Bering, there's a motion to approve. 465 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,600 Is there a second? 466 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,440 I'll second. 467 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,280 The motion is seconded. 468 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,000 Any questions or concerns on the motion? 469 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,280 Okay, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye. 470 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,100 Aye. 471 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:20,940 Opposed? 472 00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:21,780 All right, motion carries. 473 00:18:21,780 --> 00:18:23,680 That takes us to Board of Public Works. 474 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,680 Consideration and possible action on a proposal 475 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,240 to submit a grant application for the design 476 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,240 and construction of a railroad underpass 477 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,200 on the interurban trail located between Oakland Avenue 478 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,320 and Park Street. 479 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,960 The issue is should the city of Port Washington 480 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,920 approve a proposal from TKDA to submit an application 481 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320 for a US Department of Transportation, 482 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,720 Federal Railroad Administration, 483 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,720 Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant. 484 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:48,720 Seriously? 485 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,200 For the purposes of taking the interurban trail 486 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,760 off of Oakland Avenue and Park Street 487 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,080 and constructing an off-street connection 488 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,520 under the railroad tracks with the we energies right of way. 489 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,800 Staff is recommending approving the proposal 490 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,440 from TKDA to submit an application 491 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,480 to the United States Department of Transportation, 492 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,680 Federal Railroad Administration, 493 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,040 Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program 494 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,120 for the purposes of taking the interurban trail off 495 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,640 of Oakland Avenue and Park Street 496 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,880 and constructing an off-street connection 497 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,400 under the railroad tracks with the we energies right away. 498 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,280 Rob, I appreciate the creativity of this. 499 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,120 You have the floor. 500 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,720 Thank you very much. 501 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,920 So this is listed under Board of Public Works. 502 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,160 It's now been to Board of Public Works last week, 503 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,800 which approved it unanimously 504 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,800 and then went to GGF before this meeting, 505 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,400 which did received a two to one vote against. 506 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,400 So that's the background on the support 507 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,600 or lack of support for it so far. 508 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800 But this project is something we've been working on 509 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,720 and what came up in GGF. 510 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,560 And I have to apologize for it. 511 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,080 This project is new to some people on the council. 512 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,680 I think the only person that hopefully it's familiar to 513 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,000 is Alderman Neumeier because we applied for a grant 514 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,280 in 2005, which we received, 515 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,440 but ultimately transferred the funds 516 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,400 to complete a section of the bike trail 517 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,320 on the north side of the city 518 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,660 where the bike trail used to spill out on LL. 519 00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:24,560 We use that money for the county to pave 520 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,400 an off-street trail on the north end 521 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,400 from the hotel on LL to the bike trail 522 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,160 just north of the town hall. 523 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,120 So that was done with the funding we received back again 524 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,440 in 2005. 525 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,760 Since then, the counties continued to work on 526 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,120 making this dream a reality of taking this, 527 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,240 this section of road section of path, 528 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,480 which is the outside of downtown, 529 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,320 the only on-street portion of the bike path 530 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,680 and unfortunately, this portion is also 531 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,920 without a sidewalk either. 532 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,560 So pedestrians have to walk on the road 533 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,720 for at least a portion of it. 534 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,920 But in any case, it's something that we've always had 535 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,920 in the back of our minds, 536 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,800 but have not put in the 10-year plan 537 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,720 because it does come with a large price tag 538 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,760 anytime you work at the railroad 539 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,840 that has a strong impact on the cost. 540 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,880 And so it's something that, again, we've had in mind 541 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,920 as we are currently putting in our sanitary sewer relay 542 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,840 in that area, we have been kind of preparing the grade 543 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,040 for a potential crossing at some point. 544 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,760 And we had communicated the TKDA, 545 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,760 our desire to put in a railroad crossing there someday 546 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,360 and started having initial conversations with them. 547 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:54,240 And during these conversations, 548 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,040 they approached us with this grant opportunity, 549 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,600 which is part of a five-year grant program. 550 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240 Unfortunately, this is the fifth year of the program. 551 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,640 We were not aware of it. 552 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,360 And so that's why we have a timeline 553 00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:11,880 that I know some of the members of GGF were uncomfortable 554 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,400 with it, again, we only became aware of the grant 555 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920 at the end of April and it's due June 8th. 556 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,680 So this is, the reason staff is recommending it 557 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,760 and Board of Public Works is recommending it 558 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,480 is because it takes a nearly half mile on-street portion 559 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,480 of the trail which crosses railroad tracks at grade 560 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,600 and puts it below grade, creating a safer crossing 561 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,200 for bikes and pedestrians and also cuts that section 562 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600 of the trail almost in half. 563 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,200 And so we feel that this is a good amenity. 564 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,920 It comes with a 20% local share. 565 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,920 Again, there was concern by GGF, 566 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,920 regarding the commitment to that local share 567 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,480 that could be anywhere we estimate 568 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,480 between $260,000 and $400,000. 569 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,960 The grant, I did get confirmation, 570 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,960 the one-point, they're currently estimating it 571 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,120 at $1.3 million without contingency. 572 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,360 That's in 2020, $26. 573 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:23,480 So when we would apply for the grant, 574 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280 we would apply for it for a dollar figure 575 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,360 that fit what we would think would be 576 00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,080 the construction schedule, whether that's three years 577 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,720 or four years or five years. 578 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,280 We would tack that onto the contingency 579 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,640 if we were to apply. 580 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,920 I guess I've said a lot about it already now at two meetings, 581 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,680 so I won't say much more, but if there's any questions, 582 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,200 I can certainly do my best to answer them. 583 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:56,560 Oh, okay, any questions for Rob or comments? 584 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,480 Well, comments. 585 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,320 Mr. Benning. 586 00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,960 We'll follow on what Rob talked about. 587 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:05,040 And the discussion in GGF was because the short timeline 588 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,880 that this came to us, we weren't sure where this fit 589 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,880 with our 10-year plan and capital plan, 590 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,240 what would have to give, what would have to move down 591 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,160 in priority for this project to be funded. 592 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,840 We talked a lot about getting funding 593 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,240 through the county or donations or other things like that. 594 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:34,240 We don't have those in hand, so we can't count on that one. 595 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,320 But we're struggling with committing future councils 596 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,200 to, I'll say 400, but if the inflated dollars 597 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,720 are more than that, we're just uncomfortable 598 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,680 committing that kind of money at this point 599 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,840 on such short notice. 600 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,360 So, conceptually, I think, and I'll let the others 601 00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:57,400 on GGF speak, but I think we like the idea of the project. 602 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,920 We're just uncomfortable with how it's gonna be funded 603 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840 for our share of it, which, you know, 604 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,800 we've talked 400,000, but it probably more than that 605 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,040 at this point, so I'll let Deb or Jonathan 606 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,880 cover other questions or concerns. 607 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,760 Yeah, we talked also about shifting priorities. 608 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240 I'm sure Alderman Numier would not wanna give up 609 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,800 fixing alleys to allow this to happen before. 610 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,640 We have a list of priorities, so in order to evaluate 611 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,200 this project from a financial perspective, 612 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,560 we would need to find out where we would slot this in. 613 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,560 So, we need a little bit more time and more information. 614 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,960 Yeah, Mr. Player, I think all their men bending 615 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,760 kind of said it pretty well that we have to remove 616 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,160 some other things from the priority list. 617 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840 So, I think as soon as we know, Rob, 618 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,680 when we're awarded the grant, 619 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,880 when we wanna start the project, 620 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,320 we'd have to push those things back or cancel them 621 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,720 or move things down the priority list. 622 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840 So, I think, for me, having a proactive dialogue this fall 623 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,360 when we do budget and capital planning 624 00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:04,880 for the next five years, 10 years, 625 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,840 when we hone in on that plan, 626 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,680 I wanna make sure that we sort of start to delineate 627 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,720 what those priorities are, 628 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,640 so we can potentially kick some of them down, 629 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,560 because that's what this essentially means for us, 630 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,600 is that we have to move $400,000 project 631 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,880 to later in time. 632 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,480 Well, I guess I would say not necessarily. 633 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Not necessarily. 634 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,880 I mean, we would certainly work, 635 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,800 we feel that we have commitment from the county 636 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,360 that they would work with us to try and raise the local share. 637 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,680 They have a proven success rate with getting grants. 638 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,440 We would continue to pursue grants, 639 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,760 we would continue to pursue donations, 640 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,520 whether they're corporate donations or private donations. 641 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,840 I know that the biking community has donated 642 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,800 to other things in the past, 643 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,440 so we wouldn't give up on that. 644 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,920 And I certainly don't wanna be, 645 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,080 say that $400,000 is a trivial amount. 646 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,400 It doesn't buy as much as it used to buy, 647 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,400 and so that can $400,000 could be the delta on a project, 648 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,080 as I said downstairs. 649 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,920 For instance, we're tracking to come in 650 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,760 much more than $400,000 under on the police and fire building, 651 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,960 other commitments that we have in the future, 652 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,560 whether it's the bluff or the street department 653 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,440 or a road construction project, 654 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000 those projects could come under it, they could come in over, 655 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,080 but we could bring a grant for another project 656 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,720 that we weren't expecting another grant opportunity 657 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,440 where we have more funding. 658 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,440 And so I guess I feel it's worth the risk 659 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,440 to commit the local share towards getting the money, 660 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,920 so that a future council has the opportunity 661 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,280 to build this project. 662 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,440 And again, I wish it was on the, 663 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,280 it's in the bike and plan. 664 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,600 This is all kind of happening at once. 665 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,360 We certainly didn't anticipate that we would be dropped 666 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:11,360 into the last year of a $1 billion funding cycle, 667 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600 but I guess that's where we are. 668 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,320 And so we wanted to bring this grant opportunity 669 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,160 to the council and see if there was interest in doing it. 670 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:24,120 Other questions, Mr. Beasture? 671 00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,480 I just want to, not a question, but a comment. 672 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,400 I just want to reiterate what I said in public works. 673 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,280 This kind of spills out in my neighborhood, 674 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,400 and since I moved here, I've felt like 675 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,560 that's kind of an unsafe section of the bike trail 676 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,280 for families in chain and acres. 677 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,560 So, and having learned a couple of years ago 678 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,760 that the inner urban train actually used to run 679 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,040 under the other train there, 680 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,480 it's, I think it's a cool project. 681 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,160 So to me, there's no issue with pursuing a grant 682 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,200 and seeing where it goes, 683 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,480 and then answer the other questions later. 684 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,520 So thank you for working on it. 685 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,720 Ms. Miller? 686 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,520 I agree with all their Beasture, excuse me. 687 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,280 This is something that we talked about in Port Moves, 688 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,160 and at our public works, 689 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,280 and I think this is an excellent way to go about it. 690 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,320 And we could be denied. 691 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,480 So it could be, you know, nothing lost, but nothing gained. 692 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,560 So, and also give you the experience 693 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,840 when the next time it comes around to write a grant. 694 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,920 So I think this is a worthwhile effort to proceed, 695 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,360 and that's where I would like to see us go. 696 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,080 Mr. Gasper? 697 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,480 Yeah, I also think it's worthwhile 698 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,840 going after this grant. 699 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,320 This area of the city, because of railroad tracks, 700 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,320 does not have good connectivity through, 701 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,320 and this really offers a chance 702 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,080 to connect neighborhoods back together. 703 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,680 When you build, have this underpass, 704 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,520 you know, you're not just connecting the bike trail 705 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,920 through, you're likely also connecting, say, 706 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,880 from the end of linking and Madison down through to, 707 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920 making those neighborhoods that much closer to everything 708 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,480 without having to go over to Grand Avenue, 709 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,640 which is a heavily trafficked street, 710 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,720 or over to Oakland, which doesn't have sidewalk, 711 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,960 and is an industrial area, and you have to dodge the semi-trucks. 712 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,440 As far as the planning for it for the spending, 713 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,160 this wouldn't be the first time we went after a grant 714 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,000 without having a definitive funding source 715 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,840 down in the future as to how we were gonna pay for something. 716 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520 The Valley Creek grants we got for it. 717 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,240 There was some promise of federal funding 718 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,840 that might come thereafter, 719 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,360 but that was before we had any dream of a TIF-5 720 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,760 that was gonna be able to come and pay 721 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,520 for a huge portion of it. 722 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,840 So we've done stuff like this before, 723 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,480 and sometimes when the opportunity comes up, 724 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,280 I think we're best off jumping at the opportunity 725 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,920 and then figuring out, you know, 726 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,840 what funds are we gonna shift around later? 727 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,640 And, you know, saying that, 728 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,200 it's not a foregone conclusion 729 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,240 that we're gonna win the grant, 730 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,920 and if we do win the grant, 731 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,600 we still have to deal with Union Pacific, 732 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,000 who's a good chance Union Pacific comes 733 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,440 and just says absolutely not, 734 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,440 because they're Union Pacific. 735 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,400 So there's a lot of obstacles that have to be overcome 736 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,160 before this actually would come to fruition. 737 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,000 And I think on the off chance 738 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,720 that we can bring it to fruition, 739 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,000 I think it's worth going after the grant now. 740 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,640 And, you know, I'm not convinced it'll actually happen, 741 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,920 but, you know, if we don't try, 742 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,040 it'll be, we won't make it happen. 743 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,600 And, you know, we're likely to be back on this same path 744 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,120 five, 10 years from now trying to achieve it again 745 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,560 when the opportunity comes up, 746 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,440 and it's gonna cost a lot more. 747 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,320 So, I'm in favor of going forward with the grant 748 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,160 at this time. 749 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,360 Rob, I have a couple of questions, 750 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,760 and Matt's kind of prepped for this as well, 751 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,840 but did we look at the potential use of impact fees 752 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,920 through park for this project 753 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,240 and a potential of increasing those impact fees slightly 754 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,960 to offset the costs because of the significant amount 755 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,440 of impact of a certain project in Port Washington 756 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,680 that would offset this by a couple of dollars? 757 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,840 I have not had the opportunity to do that yet, 758 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,280 but that is something that we've considered, 759 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,720 and because this is a recreational amenity, 760 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,480 I would leave this up to Matt 761 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,040 and our people who write these plans, 762 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,080 but it seems like because it is a recreational amenity 763 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,880 that is something that could be eligible 764 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,000 for a recreational impact fee. 765 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,280 And again, I normally would not be a big proponent 766 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520 of increasing impact fees. 767 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,080 However, because of one project that is maxing out 768 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,440 on the impact fees, and it would not necessarily impact 769 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,600 anyone else building a home or a property, 770 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,640 it's just a wondering. 771 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,080 Yeah, I think certainly, you know, 772 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,320 I don't know about raising impact fees or anything like that, 773 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,880 but certainly this would be a project 774 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,000 that park impact fees would be something 775 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,240 that we could contribute financially to this project. 776 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,880 Melissa? 777 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,680 Just to note, park impact fees are not charged 778 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,120 on development that are not residential, 779 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,360 so keep that in mind. 780 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,520 I don't know if we'd change the ordinance. 781 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,640 Okay, Mr. Neumayer? 782 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,160 Then I have one more question. 783 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,560 I fully support this, I understand the liability 784 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,520 of having to come up with the funds later on, 785 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,400 but when we bypassed this back when I first came on council, 786 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,840 I was very disappointed in it 787 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,800 that the area of the bike path is pathetic. 788 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,680 I have friends that ride it and they bemoaned 789 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,000 what port does, they claim our bike system, 790 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,200 that area isn't very good and it isn't. 791 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,840 But as Altriman Gaspard said, 792 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,960 we've done this before where we've applied for a grant 793 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,720 and looked how we could fund it, 794 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,480 our portion of it later on. 795 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,280 I would put a lot of faith in the county. 796 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,080 They've been very good at writing grants, 797 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,400 phenomenal as a matter of fact, 798 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,640 so I think it would be a big improvement. 799 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,680 I am a big advocate of fixing our alleys, 800 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,360 so I'm stand corrected on that. 801 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,240 So I would support this, so thank you. 802 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,680 One other question I had, 803 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,120 putting on my old hat here, 804 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,760 is did we talk to the school district at all about this? 805 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,000 What the impact is for them? 806 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,640 Because in the state of Wisconsin, 807 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,080 the way the statutes work is if there's a railroad crossing, 808 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,960 it automatically pulls the lever back for busing. 809 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,040 And then there are radiuses and ranges 810 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,920 of which you can ask walkers 811 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040 if there's no safe way to cross a railroad track, 812 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040 that is a thing in the state of Wisconsin. 813 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,640 This would then provide the safe passage 814 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,880 underneath or past that. 815 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,720 So I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind 816 00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:53,680 also checking with the district on that, 817 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,400 because the young people who live in that area 818 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,800 likely go to Dunwoody on the east side. 819 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,120 And on the west side, if they go to the high school 820 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,400 and they're under the age of 16, 821 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,880 they qualify for busing as well 822 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,000 because there's no safe way across the railroad track, 823 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,280 and this would provide that safety. 824 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,160 So there could be some efficiencies 825 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,220 for our other taxing partners. 826 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,040 That's all I had. 827 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,040 So is there anyone, 828 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,800 is there any other discussion on this? 829 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,160 Can I just ask one? 830 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,920 One anecdote following up on 831 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,800 why you said having gone to Dunwoody 832 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,080 and having friends who lived 833 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,320 east of the railroad tracks 834 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,160 and walked to Dunwoody every day, 835 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,480 because at that time at least 836 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,920 I don't think busing was offered for them. 837 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480 But they, I don't think any of them 838 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,760 that I knew ever actually walked Grand Avenue, 839 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,520 they always either did Oakland 840 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,480 where there wasn't sidewalk 841 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,240 or they just went and cut across the tracks 842 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:45,240 where it was convenient anyway, 843 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,640 which would be approximately 844 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,680 where we want to put this overpassed in. 845 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:50,840 Right, yeah. 846 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,120 Can't help the route to school, 847 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,000 you can only make a safe one. 848 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,520 But I appreciate the creativity and the work on this 849 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,160 and with discussion looking to come to a close, 850 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,400 is there anyone willing to make a motion 851 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,640 for the consideration action? 852 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,160 There is a recommended motion 853 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,560 to approve the TKDA proposal 854 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,640 to submit an application 855 00:36:07,640 -->

Wii Energies right of way. 864 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,480 I would move staff's recommendation for that project. 865 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,320 There's a motion. 866 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,160
