WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.560 So, meeting for Tuesday, September 10th, or September 15th, 2026, 00:04.560 --> 00:09.520 please join with me in a moment. We have roll call. Mr. Gasper is absent and 00:09.520 --> 00:12.560 excused. Otherwise, all other older persons are 00:12.560 --> 00:16.560 present. Please join with me for the Pledge of Allegiance. 00:18.480 --> 00:22.800 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America 00:22.800 --> 00:27.360 and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God 00:27.360 --> 00:32.080 indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 00:32.880 --> 00:35.920 Thank you. That brings us into our agenda for this evening, which is our first 00:35.920 --> 00:38.960 agenda item is public comments and appearances. Remember that you have the 00:38.960 --> 00:42.080 opportunity to speak for up to three minutes for a maximum of 30 minutes 00:42.080 --> 00:46.160 tonight. Please remember to state your name and address. 00:46.160 --> 00:50.720 Okay. Tracy Finch, West Parkview Drive, Port Washington, Wisconsin. 00:50.720 --> 00:54.320 I've spoken at nearly every council meeting about issues affecting our 00:54.320 --> 00:57.840 community this past year. Recently, I focused on mental health, 00:57.840 --> 01:01.280 not as an abstract topic, but because residents in Port Washington have been 01:01.280 --> 01:04.560 dealing with stress, anxiety, and sleep disruption tied directly to the 01:04.560 --> 01:08.480 vantage data center construction. I've emailed the mayor asking for 01:08.480 --> 01:12.800 acknowledgement of these impacts and for the cities provide 01:12.800 --> 01:17.040 free mental health support to affected residents. I ask for leadership or even 01:17.040 --> 01:20.400 just a basic response, but there has been no reply, no public 01:20.480 --> 01:24.880 acknowledgement, and no visible steps taken to help the people who are still 01:24.880 --> 01:27.120 dealing with the consequences of this project. 01:27.120 --> 01:33.120 And that's silent matters because Mayor Nitsky is also the CEO of CESA 6, 01:33.120 --> 01:37.600 an organization that teaches leaders to listen, respond, and support people who 01:37.600 --> 01:41.760 are struggling. This organization emphasizes rapid feedback, strong 01:41.760 --> 01:45.840 community connection, and creating safe, thriving environments. 01:45.920 --> 01:49.360 These are leadership values he promotes professionally. 01:49.360 --> 01:53.280 Yet here in Port Washington, residents who have been struggling for months 01:53.280 --> 01:58.400 have received none of that leadership. Then based on what was discussed at 01:58.400 --> 02:02.160 the August Public Works Meeting, it appears the city has essentially tied 02:02.160 --> 02:06.000 its own hands while giving vantage free reign to do as they please 02:06.000 --> 02:09.200 because if the city disagrees, vantage threatens to sue. 02:09.200 --> 02:13.040 A clear example of is the well usage issue. 02:13.040 --> 02:17.360 So the city's own fact sheet Q&A is effectively meaningless, 02:17.360 --> 02:21.520 and because of that, residents are left wondering, and in some cases, believing 02:21.520 --> 02:25.120 that people may already be living in trailer city, regardless of whether 02:25.120 --> 02:30.080 that city claims it's true or false. Mayor Nitsky, you have failed as a leader, 02:30.080 --> 02:34.080 and you need to own up to this massive disaster you brought to Port Washington, 02:34.080 --> 02:38.080 both the city and the town. What's worse is that you have convinced some 02:38.080 --> 02:42.400 residents to turn against other residents simply because those residents 02:42.400 --> 02:45.680 have raised legitimate concerns about this project 02:45.680 --> 02:49.120 has been handled and the impact is on the environment. 02:49.120 --> 02:53.920 I'm asking again, publicly and on the record, Mayor Nitsky, will you 02:53.920 --> 02:58.000 acknowledge the mental health impact of vantage data center construction, 02:58.000 --> 03:01.280 and will you take the steps to provide free mental health support to the 03:01.280 --> 03:05.920 residents who were affected? You need to own the mistake you made. 03:05.920 --> 03:10.160 The storm you created in Port Washington, silence is not leadership. 03:10.160 --> 03:13.840 Residents deserve better because I got a reply back from Bantish 03:13.840 --> 03:16.800 that they are not going to do anything to help the residents 03:16.800 --> 03:21.200 of Port Washington for their mental health. 03:28.080 --> 03:31.120 Are there public speakers? 03:31.920 --> 03:37.680 Please state your name and address. 03:38.960 --> 03:44.240 Good evening. My name is Catherine Gardner. I live at 3689 East North Port 03:44.240 --> 03:48.240 Drive in the town of Port Washington. My comments are related to the 03:48.240 --> 03:53.200 vantage well permit application. I am concerned that vantage's use of 03:53.200 --> 03:58.080 groundwater will damage the water supply. My town neighbors and I depend on. 03:58.640 --> 04:03.840 It's not the 12,000 gallons per day vantage says it plans to use 04:03.840 --> 04:08.560 that is concerning. What is concerning is vantage's consistent pattern of 04:08.560 --> 04:12.800 stretching the limits. Throughout this discussion on well usage, 04:12.800 --> 04:17.600 we hear much the same language as we've heard in the past referring to plans and 04:17.600 --> 04:22.800 intentions not to commitments. So I remain concerned that their actual 04:22.800 --> 04:25.360 groundwater use will grow much higher over time. 04:26.320 --> 04:30.480 Based on the discussion at the August Board of Public Works meeting, 04:30.480 --> 04:33.600 it appears the city is relatively powerless to control 04:33.600 --> 04:38.720 vantage's groundwater use. However, to the extent possible, 04:39.280 --> 04:45.600 I urge you to require vantage to report its water usage to you monthly, 04:46.320 --> 04:51.680 to make this information publicly available, to ensure vantage caps these 04:51.680 --> 04:56.080 wells immediately upon availability of city water to its property, 04:56.800 --> 05:01.440 to define meaningful penalties for violation, and to hold firm when 05:01.440 --> 05:07.520 vantage comes back to you for more. Your decision tonight on the well permit 05:07.520 --> 05:12.080 may have negative consequences only for the town residents who depend on 05:12.080 --> 05:16.960 their wells for safe water. Please be a good neighbor to these town residents 05:16.960 --> 05:21.280 who shop at your stores and support your civic events. They are not just 05:21.280 --> 05:26.880 suffering the inconveniences of construction. Town residents who live close 05:26.880 --> 05:30.400 to the data center have had their lives and their properties 05:30.400 --> 05:35.280 permanently damaged by your decisions and disproportionately bear the negative 05:35.280 --> 05:39.680 consequences of this city business. Please don't pile more on. 05:40.640 --> 05:44.480 I also think this is an opportunity to show your constituents 05:44.480 --> 05:48.400 that you have the interest in and the ability to hold 05:48.400 --> 05:55.520 vantage accountable to reasonable standards. Public trust in AI and data centers is low. 05:56.480 --> 06:01.760 You brought this monster project into our community. Please demonstrate you have the 06:01.760 --> 06:08.400 ability to protect the public from its negative consequences. Making even a minor 06:08.400 --> 06:13.920 effort to control vantage's groundwater use would be a small step in the right direction. 06:14.640 --> 06:15.920 Thank you. 06:23.920 --> 06:25.360 Next speaker to name and address. 06:25.360 --> 06:45.760 Hi there. My name is Julianne Wanderer and you may remember having me arrested in December. 06:48.960 --> 06:52.880 As well as two others. I'm sorry Julie. Can you please also state your address for us? 06:52.880 --> 07:00.080 405 South Co Avenue in Port Washington, Wisconsin. 07:01.760 --> 07:05.440 You want to silence your critics but we will not be silenced. 07:06.320 --> 07:12.560 I think we are all familiar with the proverb with great power comes great responsibility. 07:13.120 --> 07:20.000 Each and every single one of you has the power to protect the waters of Lake Michigan. 07:20.720 --> 07:26.160 Each and every one of you has the power to protect our natural resources. 07:26.880 --> 07:33.280 Each and every one of you has the power to protect the health and the well-being of your 07:33.280 --> 07:42.320 constituents. Instead of exercising that power and your moral obligations therein. 07:43.280 --> 07:47.920 You allowed yourself to be swindled by multi-billion dollar companies. 07:48.480 --> 07:54.320 You handed our natural resources to these companies on a silver platter. 07:56.320 --> 08:01.120 Companies according to the experts who are operating at a financial loss. 08:01.680 --> 08:05.280 These companies are not even financially profitable. 08:06.080 --> 08:15.680 Throughout this process we have been lied to, kept in the dark and made to feel that our very 08:15.680 --> 08:20.080 real and valid concerns do not matter to any of you. 08:22.000 --> 08:26.160 Do you know and are you familiar with a thought experiment? 08:27.600 --> 08:35.120 Here's one for you. If a data center is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a boom for the 08:35.120 --> 08:39.680 economy, why isn't there a data center being planned in Door County? 08:42.240 --> 08:46.800 Maybe because the county officials place a higher value on their natural resources. 08:47.360 --> 08:54.160 Maybe because they know and recognize the countless inherent dangers associated with data centers. 08:55.120 --> 09:00.000 They understand the dangers that the data centers present to their natural resources 09:00.080 --> 09:05.920 and to their constituents. Maybe because they refuse to sell out to predatory companies. 09:06.480 --> 09:12.240 Maybe because they have common sense and they recognize that a data center isn't in their best 09:12.240 --> 09:15.760 interest. Maybe because they weren't blinded by greed. 09:17.120 --> 09:22.000 This city has become a laughing stock to anyone and everyone who's paying attention. 09:22.000 --> 09:26.640 They see the truth for what it is. Data centers are not good for the community, 09:26.640 --> 09:37.840 not good for the environment. These companies are grifters and you guys swindled. Shame on you. 09:45.680 --> 09:51.200 Hello, my name is Dean Wiegert. My address is 3708 East Northport Drive in the town of Port. 09:52.160 --> 09:57.120 I read the agenda item memorandum from the city engineer on issuing permits for 09:57.120 --> 10:04.960 vantage for the use of the wells and I was happy to see that the recommended motion to 10:04.960 --> 10:12.160 quote report monthly usage to the city. I do however think that the motion should have included 10:12.160 --> 10:19.440 the words on a monthly basis. This would clarify that the monthly usage will be reported each 10:19.520 --> 10:25.840 month instead of annually as the DNR permit stipulates. If we wait an entire year to find 10:25.840 --> 10:31.680 out what the monthly usage was, any infraction and monthly allowed usage won't be identified 10:31.680 --> 10:38.240 until the end of the year. Catching problems early can prevent more problems. I also would 10:38.240 --> 10:44.240 have hoped for a motion that included some language of inspection or verification by the city 10:44.240 --> 10:50.640 of the numbers reported. Unfortunately, I don't trust vantage to police themselves. 10:52.080 --> 10:56.880 And then finally, I would have hoped for a motion that would include language of penalties 10:56.880 --> 11:03.920 or consequences if water usage exceeds what has been approved. I'm not a city council member. 11:03.920 --> 11:08.720 I'm not even a city resident. I have no way of making these motions or suggesting it to my 11:08.720 --> 11:13.680 older person. And that I feel is one of the biggest problems with this data center project, 11:14.400 --> 11:20.400 the city annexed town land. And so now it is the town residents who are affected most but have 11:20.400 --> 11:26.720 no representation. Interesting fact, I was here on the night in December last year when several 11:26.720 --> 11:31.840 people were arrested. And earlier that night, we were lined up in front of the chamber doors 11:31.840 --> 11:37.520 waiting to get in when one of the police officers standing by the doors was asking us why are you 11:37.600 --> 11:42.320 still here? Why do you keep coming back? This is a done deal. We're tired of having to be here 11:42.320 --> 11:48.480 and we're tired of all the overtime. This is true. Someone spoke up and said that they were there 11:48.480 --> 11:53.600 because the people in the town had no say but are being impacted and feeling the worst effects 11:53.600 --> 11:59.200 of the start of construction. The police officer's response was, well, why don't they show up? 12:00.160 --> 12:05.920 Well, of course I had, though he didn't know me. And it convinced me that I needed to continue. 12:06.880 --> 12:13.200 So you can thank that police officer in part for my presence tonight. Thank you. 12:18.640 --> 12:19.600 Other public speakers? 12:25.200 --> 12:31.440 My name is Sebastian Elicher. I live in Ward 1, 136 East Cleveland Street here in Port. 12:32.240 --> 12:39.440 I want to start by confirming what Dean said a few minutes ago, what happened in December before 12:40.320 --> 12:47.920 three women were arrested, not to say brutalized in these chambers. I stood outside and I heard 12:47.920 --> 12:54.080 the conversation. So the first thing I want to say is it's true what Dean just said here. 12:54.800 --> 13:04.320 This did happen. There was aggressive talking by representatives of the police force towards 13:04.320 --> 13:12.800 citizens lining up. But I want to speak here with regard to TIT Project 5, which is on the agenda 13:12.800 --> 13:18.480 for tonight. We are slowly but steadily approaching property tax season. 13:18.480 --> 13:26.800 Excuse me, Sebastian. That is the tornado whistle. 13:30.560 --> 13:33.920 It just turned off. I apologize, Sebastian. I just want to make sure we didn't have to evacuate. 13:33.920 --> 13:38.880 No, that's okay. Go ahead. That's okay. I will allow his time. Thank you. 13:40.880 --> 13:47.040 So my first, my other common concerns, TIT Project 5, we are slowly approaching property 13:47.040 --> 13:55.200 tax, property tax season. And I think this is the first year where the city theoretically has 13:55.200 --> 14:02.880 the option of increasing its levy. So citizens would like to know what your plans are with regard to 14:02.880 --> 14:10.240 that. Especially since looking through the package for today, there is a very prominent project here, 14:10.320 --> 14:16.720 which is the Valley Creek restoration project. Alderman Gasper, who unfortunately cannot make it 14:16.720 --> 14:23.280 today, has been the leading figure behind that. And I think it's a great project. But there is a 14:23.280 --> 14:30.480 $10 million shortfall for this project. Vantage is paying us something to the extent of $2 to $3 14:30.480 --> 14:39.920 million. But the overall projects are $13 to $40 million. It's being stated in these chambers that 14:40.400 --> 14:46.720 the city will apply to federal programs. Those federal programs no longer exist. 14:47.840 --> 14:54.800 So my question is, how are you going to close that $10 million project? And do you anticipate 14:54.800 --> 15:03.440 raising the levy over having the Creek restored? My final point here is, as we are approaching 15:03.440 --> 15:12.880 the end of the first year of tit 5, are citizens going to see an overview of money that has been 15:12.880 --> 15:20.080 invested in infrastructure? In other words, how much money is left from the, I believe, $170 15:20.080 --> 15:28.480 million that Vantage invests in infrastructure here? When will that overview being shown to citizens? 15:29.120 --> 15:34.640 I imagine this should be at some point toward the end of the financial year. Thanks. 15:40.400 --> 15:41.280 Other public speakers? 15:48.320 --> 15:51.840 Kim Tydrick, 4465 Wildersway, town of Port Washington. 15:53.840 --> 15:58.000 I want to reiterate what some of these other people said. We don't want to keep coming back. 15:58.720 --> 16:03.120 But we have to, because you're not listening. You're not doing anything. 16:03.920 --> 16:12.960 I live in what is being called in Pennsylvania, a sacrifice zone. That is, the people that live 16:12.960 --> 16:20.720 around this data center that are making all the sacrifices. And guess what? Because we're in the 16:20.720 --> 16:28.880 town, we will see none of the benefits. None. There is nothing that I will receive from this 16:28.880 --> 16:36.800 that is benefiting me on any level. Okay? So we suffer every day with construction noise, 16:36.800 --> 16:44.960 construction traffic, the dirt, the fear of what's to come with the fact that there's still no 16:44.960 --> 16:51.440 electricity there and they don't have enough to power their almighty AI. So what's going to 16:51.440 --> 16:57.920 happen? Are they going to be allowed, as our almighty president says, to just run their generators 16:57.920 --> 17:06.400 24 seven and spew those micro chemicals and everything else into our air? And guess what? 17:06.400 --> 17:11.760 That's when the town or the city residents will start to be affected because those generators 17:11.840 --> 17:18.560 and that those micro, whatever that they're spewing into the air from those diesel generators 17:18.560 --> 17:26.560 are going to blanket the city. So then your constituents will really start to see what the 17:26.560 --> 17:32.560 rest of us have lived through because they are still now running generators for lights all night 17:32.560 --> 17:39.360 long. They idle trucks all the time. So that diesel is just polluting everything. 17:40.320 --> 17:47.600 And we live in what is already a very strange microclimate because of the way that the lake 17:47.600 --> 17:56.240 curves around here. Our air is already in a non-attainment zone. We will never be free of the 17:56.800 --> 18:05.120 cancer causing chemicals in the air, according to the DEA. And yet none of you seem to care that 18:06.080 --> 18:10.560 it's going to get worse. And what are we going to do? Little kids with asthma, 18:10.560 --> 18:19.200 seniors with heart conditions, who is protecting them? That's supposed to be your job. You chose 18:19.200 --> 18:27.040 to be on the board. You ran for elected office and you are all failing at that job. 18:28.480 --> 18:33.280 Failing because you are not protecting the citizens and the environment. 18:34.240 --> 18:39.440 So once again, those in the sacrifice zone, who by the way, it took my husband more than 20 18:39.440 --> 18:45.520 minutes to get on to 43 the other day. It used to take him that long to get to Brown Deer. 18:47.280 --> 18:53.920 So all your infrastructure improvements were too little, too late, and thank you. 18:53.920 --> 19:02.960 Thank you. Any other public speakers? 19:14.880 --> 19:17.920 Amber Chain, 1446, my second half. Thank you. 19:18.960 --> 19:23.680 As I stand behind this podium today, I wonder who in this room with authority and power 19:23.680 --> 19:28.960 actually cares about the impact we leave behind. The members of the City Council have expressed 19:28.960 --> 19:33.760 they believe this data center is a positive progress for this town. As a representative of 19:33.760 --> 19:38.960 the highest good, I do not agree. The council member state to the public that this data center 19:38.960 --> 19:44.160 will not be using lake water. However, while the water may not be directly pulled from the lake, 19:44.160 --> 19:49.200 if it is using ports water, it is lake water, because our water comes from Lake Michigan. 19:49.920 --> 19:54.800 As much as I would love to place entire blame on City Council, I know that is not true. 19:54.800 --> 19:58.880 Of the few meetings I have attended thus far, less than 20 people from the public have been in 19:58.880 --> 20:04.320 attendance, obviously not the case today. In a perfect world, the people who were voted into 20:04.320 --> 20:08.160 their positions would absolutely take into consideration the people that they are meant to 20:08.160 --> 20:13.440 represent. But as we know, we do not live in a perfect world. Therefore, it is imperative that 20:13.440 --> 20:18.080 the public hold the representatives accountable, especially when it comes to fighting for the 20:18.160 --> 20:23.680 rights of the environment. Lake Michigan does not have the opportunity to express its opposition 20:23.680 --> 20:29.040 to a data center being built five miles from its shoreline. It needs humans to speak on behalf of 20:29.040 --> 20:34.800 it. This council keeps referencing the economic growth that will take place. I am here to remind 20:34.800 --> 20:39.760 you, you cannot eat or drink money. And no matter how much you accumulate in this lifetime, it does 20:39.760 --> 20:45.440 not follow you into the next. As we are aware, water, air, the other creatures that inhabit this 20:45.520 --> 20:50.320 planet and the land itself are incapable of verbalizing its consent or dissent towards the 20:50.320 --> 20:55.760 policies humans enact. And hopefully, we are all aware that the policies humans enact either 20:55.760 --> 21:02.160 directly or indirectly affect all entities of existence. The silver lining is manmade policies 21:02.160 --> 21:08.400 in contracts is the silver lining and manmade policies in contracts is if man constructed it, 21:08.400 --> 21:14.320 man can also deconstruct it. It is never too late to do the right thing. God, Allah, Buddha, the 21:15.280 --> 21:20.480 the highest good whomever you go by is demanding you do the right by all creatures of existence 21:20.480 --> 21:23.200 and not just those who line your bank accounts. Thank you. 21:29.440 --> 21:35.440 Any other public speakers? Okay, we're going to move into the agenda then. The first agenda item 21:35.440 --> 21:39.520 is the consent agenda. Is there anyone willing to make a motion to approve the consent agenda? 21:39.520 --> 21:43.600 So moved. Moved and seconded. Any questions or concerns on the agenda item? 21:44.320 --> 21:48.240 All right, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? All right, that 21:48.240 --> 21:53.120 motion carries. It brings us into Mayors business. Today, I just wanted to thank the Wisconsin 21:53.120 --> 21:58.160 Historical Society for coming to the city of Port Washington today. They came and presented 21:58.160 --> 22:03.120 us with the 2026 Board of Curators Historic Preservation Award for the Port Washington 22:03.120 --> 22:09.920 North Breakwater Lighthouse Restoration Project. And the chair and CEO of the company came or of 22:09.920 --> 22:14.720 the Wisconsin Historical Society dropped off a letter and it's just a great congratulations 22:14.720 --> 22:20.080 to the city. Rob, I wanted to thank you for writing the grants and following through on that 22:20.080 --> 22:27.840 council for supporting that vision and city staff for ensuring that we finally brought our lighthouse 22:27.840 --> 22:31.760 or light pair up to speed. So I'm very grateful for that. Two million dollars came from the state 22:31.760 --> 22:35.200 and the federal government as a result of that hard work. So Rob, I really, really appreciate 22:35.200 --> 22:40.080 that as the city and we will hang this in place of honor. So congratulations to everybody for that 22:40.080 --> 22:45.360 happening. Also, this is the National Hispanic Heritage Month and I have a proclamation to 22:45.360 --> 22:48.880 recognize as such that will be sent to the schools and all of our public buildings. 22:50.880 --> 22:59.680 This month, National Hispanic Heritage Week was put in place by Lyndon Johnson, President 22:59.680 --> 23:04.640 Lyndon Johnson in 1968. And we have honored this for years in the city of Port Washington and we 23:04.640 --> 23:10.240 will send this proclamation to those in the city of Port Washington for it to be displayed in order 23:10.240 --> 23:15.040 for people to recognize the great contributions of the Hispanic and Latino Americans in both the 23:15.040 --> 23:19.680 city of Port Washington, Wisconsin and the United States. And we thank them for their contributions 23:19.680 --> 23:24.400 to our local culture. The second one is Diana, you want to pop up there? Well, 23:25.200 --> 23:32.880 one of my favorite visits every six weeks, eight weeks is to the Port Washington Senior Center. 23:32.880 --> 23:39.680 And this month is the Senior Center Month. We celebrate this in the month of September and it is a time 23:39.680 --> 23:44.480 to shine a light on our senior citizens showing the entire nation how vital they are to the health 23:44.480 --> 23:50.080 and well-being of our community. They offer a place for adults, older adults, to discover their 23:50.080 --> 23:54.240 unique interests, talents, and aspirations. Therefore, the national theme this year is 23:54.240 --> 23:59.120 powering connections. And whereas older Americans are significant members of our society, 23:59.120 --> 24:03.040 investing their wisdom and experience to help enrich and better the lives of younger generations, 24:03.040 --> 24:08.000 and whereas the Port Washington Senior Center has acted as a catalyst for mobilizing creativity, 24:08.000 --> 24:12.480 energy, vitality, and commitment of our older residents of Port Washington, Ozaki County, 24:12.480 --> 24:18.320 and Wisconsin. And whereas through a variety of services, programs, and activities with over 13,000 24:18.400 --> 24:24.880 and 66 visits last year, seniors have been empowered in our community to continue to contribute to 24:24.880 --> 24:28.800 all of the different ways that they can grow themselves with their own health, well-being, 24:28.800 --> 24:33.360 and the well-being of each other and fellow citizens of all ages. And whereas the City of 24:33.360 --> 24:38.080 Port Washington Senior Center affirms the dignity, self-worth, and independence of older persons by 24:38.080 --> 24:43.360 facilitating their decisions and actions, tapping into their experiences, skills, and knowledge, 24:43.360 --> 24:48.080 and enabling their continued contributions to the community. Now, therefore, I, 24:48.080 --> 24:53.520 Theodore Nitsky, Mayor of Port Washington hereby proclaim September 2026's Senior Center Month, 24:53.520 --> 24:57.840 and call upon all seniors and citizens to recognize the special contributions 24:57.840 --> 25:03.520 of both the Senior Center and our seniors in an effort to make Port Washington a better place, 25:03.520 --> 25:08.160 especially after last year with over 3,000 volunteer hours from our Senior Center. 25:08.800 --> 25:12.320 Thank you, Diana, for your leadership at the Senior Center and all seniors, and thank you 25:12.320 --> 25:17.600 for making it a vibrant place and bringing the Senior Center into the 21st century with great 25:17.600 --> 25:24.480 programming. Thank you. Thank you. So I know that you have a full agenda tonight, so I'll make it 25:24.480 --> 25:33.920 brief here. I just wanted to take an opportunity and summarize our 2025 charter goals and the outcomes. 25:35.200 --> 25:41.040 The Commission on Aging consists of seven members appointed by the Mayor and myself as the liaison. 25:41.680 --> 25:46.960 Alderman Pastel has served as the chairperson for the past year and done a fabulous job in 25:47.920 --> 25:55.440 in helping us to move the mission forward. One of the goals that we worked on is to increase 25:55.440 --> 26:02.400 class programming, especially events, by offering 14 or by adding 14 new offerings. 26:03.280 --> 26:11.840 We successfully met that goal by actually adding 23. Just to highlight a few that stood out 26:12.400 --> 26:19.040 kind of when I looked at the list, offering memory screenings in partnering with the 26:19.040 --> 26:25.120 Aging and Disability Resource Center. The dementia specialists, they're conducted those memory 26:25.200 --> 26:36.560 screenings and that is invaluable to folks to have early detection of dementia and downsizing 26:36.560 --> 26:43.920 decluttering. We know as seniors that becomes a challenge sometimes as we're moving into 26:45.120 --> 26:50.880 different living environments to know what to do with everything. So having a speaker on that 26:50.880 --> 26:59.040 was excellent. We were part of the community mural project and that was a really awesome 26:59.040 --> 27:06.160 partnership where folks who took part were able to do so indoors in a controlled environment 27:06.880 --> 27:12.320 and now are able to be part of Port Washington history as they drive through they can see a 27:12.320 --> 27:18.480 project that they were part of. We offered balance assessments from a physical therapy company. 27:18.480 --> 27:27.120 We had a successful open house back in October of last year. We added a new programming offering 27:27.120 --> 27:36.320 called Game Day that consists of both board games and card games. We partnered with St. John's the 27:36.320 --> 27:43.760 23rd to offer intergenerational bingo, which was very fun. And the kids were excellent bingo 27:43.760 --> 27:48.960 players. You would think seniors rock at bingo, but they they really showed us up. 27:49.920 --> 27:57.200 We added a new feature called the monthly short story discussion in partnership with the library. 27:57.920 --> 28:05.440 We added a journaling class of forest bathing and many more fun and exciting offerings. 28:06.160 --> 28:11.520 In 2026 our goal is to develop seven new well attended programs classes, 28:12.320 --> 28:17.760 presentations and special programming utilizing the seven dimensions of wellness. 28:18.880 --> 28:25.040 Our second goal is to develop or was to develop standard operating procedures for the senior 28:25.040 --> 28:32.720 center. The first part of that was to identify what areas we needed to have those operating 28:32.720 --> 28:40.960 procedures for identified 40 areas and had worked on that. We will be continuing that 28:40.960 --> 28:47.920 goal or have been continuing that goal into 2026. That was a pretty lofty goal to tackle, 28:48.560 --> 28:56.160 but we're definitely making progress in that. The third goal is implement a data tracking system 28:56.240 --> 29:05.600 at the senior center. The outcome is that that goal was met and that we did add a new data 29:05.600 --> 29:13.280 tracking system in 2025 at the end of the year utilizing rec desk, which is a program that 29:13.280 --> 29:21.680 the rec department had. So that allowed us to use it rather than purchasing a new data tracking 29:21.680 --> 29:29.840 system as a cost saving measure. And then starting with January 1 members received 29:29.840 --> 29:38.560 bar code cards, they look like this. They have our name and then it has a little one you can 29:38.560 --> 29:43.440 put on your key chain and one you can put in your wallet. So when folks come in now, 29:43.440 --> 29:49.920 there's a way that they just scan in and all of the daily activities are listed so they can 29:49.920 --> 29:55.680 click on what they're all there for. So if they're there, say for cardio drumming, 29:55.680 --> 30:00.480 Lakeside T, and then they're going to use the fitness center, they actually would all of those 30:00.480 --> 30:08.640 areas would be indicated. Prior to this, we were just basically the total number there that was 30:08.640 --> 30:14.640 mentioned. That's just how many times they entered the building. But this way, we're actually able 30:14.640 --> 30:23.280 to look at programming usage and really see what folks are taking advantage of at the frequency 30:23.280 --> 30:31.120 in many different factors. So prior to all of this as the mayor indicated, we were pretty much 30:31.120 --> 30:37.920 using a three ring binder type of system to track what people were participating in. And if they 30:37.920 --> 30:45.760 came for one activity, if they came for two, maybe they wrote times two maybe. And so we really 30:45.760 --> 30:56.000 were not capturing program utilization. And it was a very old and outdated and very labor-intensive 30:56.000 --> 31:05.360 process to track all of that very inaccurate. A lot of duplication of efforts as well. So this has 31:05.360 --> 31:14.560 been a huge step forward in our overall operations. Also this year, we allowed, it's kind of part 31:14.560 --> 31:21.760 of this goal, we incorporated the ability to register online for classes so people can do that 31:21.760 --> 31:26.960 either using their home computer or their cell phone, which has also been a huge upgrade. 31:28.080 --> 31:32.480 We also are now able to take credit card payment for the first time, which 31:32.640 --> 31:40.000 that's a huge bonus to people to be able to do that. Not very many people carry around a lot of cash 31:40.000 --> 31:47.200 or often have their checkbook. So we're kind of getting, I guess you could say, in the times now 31:47.200 --> 31:55.200 with how things are done. So that's a good thing. And then for 2026, we'll be continuing to look at 31:55.200 --> 32:02.960 this grant or this goal. But on a different twist to it that we're now going to be instead of 32:02.960 --> 32:10.960 implementing data tracking, now we'll be able to use the information that we obtained through that 32:10.960 --> 32:20.800 tracking to use it for purposes such as grant writing, evaluating programs, and having the 32:20.800 --> 32:27.040 demographics that go along with it to be able to use the information for a variety of purposes. 32:28.560 --> 32:34.000 Our fourth goal was to make the center a more welcoming environment for members and visitors. 32:34.640 --> 32:41.840 And that goal has certainly been worked on and I would consider it met. We did a revamp of the 32:41.840 --> 32:50.400 front lobby. We now have actually Susan's desk in our front lobby so that we have a welcome area 32:51.360 --> 32:57.760 so that when folks enter, there is a familiar face greeting them. They can assist with 32:58.800 --> 33:04.720 some of the things with the check-in process, answer some of the questions. So it's allowing 33:04.720 --> 33:12.160 a volunteer opportunity, but it's also a way to have a human connection when you walk in versus 33:12.160 --> 33:19.520 walking in and wondering where you go. So it's been a really good thing. We've done a considerable 33:19.520 --> 33:25.280 amount of cleaning and organizing in 2025. Volunteers and members of the Commission on 33:25.280 --> 33:32.880 Aging were instrumental in assisting with that project. When I hear people say the center is 33:32.880 --> 33:37.680 so welcoming and it's such a clean place, I'm like, that is music to my ears because that's 33:37.680 --> 33:44.560 exactly what we were going for. We want it to be a clean and welcoming space, but we also beyond 33:44.640 --> 33:50.080 the physical appearance, we want it to be a place where people feel welcomed. It's not just about 33:50.080 --> 33:57.920 clutter. It's about a feeling. It's about staff and volunteers and members of the center, 33:57.920 --> 34:04.480 a combined effort in making each person who walks in for the first time feel welcomed or that they 34:04.480 --> 34:13.360 belong. I love to hear people say, oh, it's such a friendly place. Oh, I felt instantly welcomed 34:13.360 --> 34:20.800 there. And I think that's exactly what a senior center should be. And I'm so proud that that's 34:20.800 --> 34:29.840 what it is. We will continue on that track into 2026 and actually have already met 34:29.840 --> 34:39.520 the 2026 goal that was to utilize rotary club center beautification grant that we received 34:40.240 --> 34:50.480 in amount of about $4,000 to continue creating that welcoming environment that interior painting, 34:50.480 --> 34:56.720 new wall decor, window coverings in the dining room in those types of things. The fifth goal 34:56.720 --> 35:02.000 was to create a fitness center that allows member to use the equipment during center hours to improve 35:02.000 --> 35:07.440 their physical health and wellness. And that goal was achieved. The fitness center was cleaned, 35:07.440 --> 35:13.920 revamped, and it is now open Monday through Friday 8.30 to 4, which are our center hours, 35:13.920 --> 35:19.360 so it makes sense that it would be open the entire time. The sixth goal was to increase 35:19.360 --> 35:29.280 center membership by 10%. We actually increased it by 25% by adding 85 new members and offering 35:29.280 --> 35:37.120 them the benefits of being a member of the center. And this goal will continue into the new year. 35:37.440 --> 35:42.480 I feel that having the goal of increasing membership is important and should be ongoing. 35:43.600 --> 35:49.200 The seventh area was to increase community awareness of the senior center by increasing 35:49.200 --> 35:57.360 community outreach. Quite a lot of work was done on this goal during the year. Speaking at civic 35:57.360 --> 36:02.880 groups, having a booth at the farmers market to promote the center and the center survey, 36:03.840 --> 36:11.360 adds our information in the Ozaki press letter to the editor appeared. We had the open house 36:11.360 --> 36:20.720 that I mentioned back in October of 2025. We had 45 individuals attend and added that number 36:20.720 --> 36:26.080 approximately 20 of those individuals signed up to become members during the open house. 36:26.960 --> 36:34.240 In August of 2025, we held a large community event called concert in the park. We had about 36:34.240 --> 36:41.280 180 people attend that event, and it was a wonderful gathering of not only members of the senior 36:41.280 --> 36:47.680 center, but members of our community of all ages, grandparents there with their grandchildren, 36:47.680 --> 37:00.000 or a group home with some folks with disabilities and just a wide range of community members 37:00.000 --> 37:06.800 all coming together to enjoy music. We had some great sponsorships. So all in all, it was 37:07.680 --> 37:14.400 like a way for us to get our name out there, a way for us to promote the senior center. We had 37:14.480 --> 37:19.360 memberships signed up information, so a very nice opportunity. 37:22.880 --> 37:28.880 Another thing that we have really increased our community outreach is getting the newsletter 37:28.880 --> 37:35.120 out to different community sites. We now have the newsletter available in 20 sites throughout 37:35.120 --> 37:43.360 the county as well as at the center, and it's also available online as well as on Facebook. 37:44.400 --> 37:50.640 Also during the year, we have increased social media presence. I also do regular Facebook post, 37:52.000 --> 38:03.200 and try to get as much interaction there as you can using the social media, and we have 38:03.200 --> 38:09.840 increased our followers in the social media area considerably over the past year. I'm an active 38:09.840 --> 38:14.960 member of the Wisconsin Association of Senior Centers, and last year we received an award 38:14.960 --> 38:23.680 at the state conference. It was the Edison Bell Einstein award for creative programming, 38:23.680 --> 38:31.280 so that helps to get the word out to and connect folks to what we do. So increasing our community 38:31.280 --> 38:38.240 outreach is very important, and I think continuing toward that goal into 2026, obviously we have 38:38.240 --> 38:46.560 been doing. I think the possibilities are literally endless on ways we can connect and 38:46.560 --> 38:53.600 share the work that the senior center is doing. Our eighth and final goal was to determine community 38:53.600 --> 38:59.280 needs by completing a public survey, and that goal was what we met. We completed that at the end of 38:59.280 --> 39:08.560 September. We had 181 survey respondents complete that survey, and those results were 39:08.560 --> 39:16.080 prepared and made available. We, you know, of course, dissected it and looked at what did we 39:16.080 --> 39:23.440 gather from it, and are using that to, you know, make some adjustments in programming and ways 39:23.440 --> 39:31.120 that we communicate about the offerings available. So, yeah, so those are the goals 39:31.920 --> 39:36.800 both for 2025, and then what we've been working on for 2026. 39:38.400 --> 39:42.640 Dana, at what age can you join the senior center? 55 or better. 39:43.200 --> 39:49.200 And what are the, what are the dues? That depends on if you're a resident, if you're a resident, 39:49.200 --> 39:54.560 it's 25, and if you're not a resident, it's 45, and then there is also a couple, right? 39:55.280 --> 40:00.160 And what's your most recent news from the Wisconsin Association of Senior Centers? 40:01.520 --> 40:11.600 Well, two things. One is I'm going to be the delegate for our area for 2027 for a two-year term, 40:12.240 --> 40:19.120 and then I just was notified on Friday that I will be receiving an award at the state 40:19.120 --> 40:25.840 conference. The name of the award is the Rising Star Award, and it's for senior center directors 40:25.840 --> 40:32.240 that have been in their role at their senior center for two years, unless, or excuse me, 40:32.240 --> 40:36.240 three years or less. That is excellent. Congratulations. That was very cool to see. 40:36.240 --> 40:39.440 Thank you. Yeah, we're very proud of you for that, and thank you for all you do 40:40.240 --> 40:45.280 for our seniors, all the warm and pastel that you have anything you wanted to add as chair of the 40:45.280 --> 40:50.800 COA. I just wanted to say that the senior center is full of energy. It's hopping all the time. 40:51.360 --> 40:56.640 People are happy. If you're 55 or better, and you don't belong to the senior center, 40:56.640 --> 41:01.440 consider it. It's pretty cool. Thank you. Any other members from council? Any 41:01.440 --> 41:06.640 wonders or questions? Excellent. Thank you very much. We're very proud of you. 41:06.640 --> 41:09.520 Thank you so much. 41:12.400 --> 41:15.360 All right. That then brings us to the last agenda item under mayor's business. The 41:15.360 --> 41:20.080 appointment of the city clerk, Susan Westbeck, as our cemetery commissioner. Is there anyone 41:20.080 --> 41:27.040 willing to make that motion? Motion by all the person bending, seconded by all the person 41:27.040 --> 41:30.720 pastel. Any questions or concerns on that appointment? Seeing none, all in favor, 41:30.720 --> 41:36.080 signify by saying aye. Opposed? All right. Motion carries. That brings us into officer and staff 41:36.080 --> 41:40.000 reports. The next is the presentation on the TID number five projects. 41:42.000 --> 41:48.480 Okay. With this tonight, we have Ben Wood from Strand Associates and Aaron Grohl from Kapoor. 41:48.480 --> 41:56.720 They were in front of the council back in April, providing an update on the status of 41:58.000 --> 42:02.320 tax and incremental district number five project planning. And so they are with us here 42:03.200 --> 42:10.160 tonight to make an updated presentation. If anyone either following along or wants 42:10.160 --> 42:22.960 to look at it later, it's available on the website. It's part of the agenda packet for this evening. 42:22.960 --> 42:34.160 Okay. Thank you, Rob, for that introduction. My name is Ben Wood, engineer with Strand Associates, 42:34.160 --> 42:40.800 along with me is Aaron Grohl from Kapoor. As Rob mentioned, we're going to be giving an update 42:40.800 --> 42:46.720 from information that was shared in April. One of the reasons that we're back here tonight is 42:46.720 --> 42:53.920 it's been a mission of city staff to provide regular updates for the sake of working together 42:54.560 --> 43:00.800 with the community and across the community, including many touch points with stakeholders, 43:00.800 --> 43:08.000 both with various departments within the city and other stakeholders within the community. 43:10.000 --> 43:15.680 Tonight, we're going to cover an overview of the TID project plan. We're going to look at broad 43:15.680 --> 43:20.560 project maps and schedule. We're going to spend most of our time getting into the individual 43:20.560 --> 43:27.600 project descriptions and follow up with the summary. As a brief overview of the TID project plan that 43:27.600 --> 43:33.200 was put together by ELLERS, the city's financial consultant, this is a developer finance TID 43:34.160 --> 43:39.600 that contains in total approximately $180 million of city-led infrastructure projects, 43:40.160 --> 43:45.680 all of which have the basis of need under the categories of expanded service area, 43:45.680 --> 43:55.360 redundancy and resiliency and capacity. This map shows that overview of the TID and the TID projects 43:56.800 --> 44:02.960 many have seen this map or variation of it before, but I want to break down just what we're looking 44:03.040 --> 44:11.120 at here. The yellow area is the current vantage data center development area. The pink is a 44:11.120 --> 44:17.280 future phase of that under common ownership. The blue areas that are kind of around the 44:17.280 --> 44:23.360 south tip of the yellow, that is unincorporated Canalsville, an area within the town of Port 44:23.360 --> 44:29.280 Washington, that the city has an obligation through past inter municipal agreements to provide 44:29.920 --> 44:36.160 water and sewer utilities to that area. Then the green areas that kind of flank both the 44:36.720 --> 44:45.360 east and the west of the TID 5 data center area, those are areas that once water and sewer utilities 44:45.360 --> 44:53.120 get expanded up that direction could conceivably at some point in the future expand. It's not 44:53.120 --> 44:58.960 a promise or an obligation, but rather this planning has to be done in conjunction with the 44:58.960 --> 45:05.760 southeastern Wisconsin regional planning commission and they encouraged that the city 45:05.760 --> 45:11.920 consider what logical adjacent areas could get on utilities at any point in the future 45:12.720 --> 45:18.800 just to plan for that scenario. Individual projects are labeled on here. I understand 45:18.800 --> 45:25.360 that you can't see them, but I just wanted to provide some context here that there are projects 45:25.440 --> 45:33.440 on the north side of I-43 in the TID area directly that serve the TID area and there are projects 45:33.440 --> 45:41.120 within the existing or preexisting city limits that are necessary to increase capacity or improve 45:41.120 --> 45:49.760 redundancy and resiliency in order to serve that area with utilities. This is an updated 45:49.760 --> 45:58.400 Gantt chart schedule of the known, I shouldn't say known, I should say the city TID projects 45:58.400 --> 46:06.080 that are actually progressing at this time in order to serve the part of the TID that's under 46:06.080 --> 46:11.680 construction right now. Again, I know that there's a lot here and we're going to go through each 46:11.680 --> 46:16.160 of these projects line by line in future slides and then I'm going to show this slide again at the 46:16.160 --> 46:21.760 end, but I just want to let you know that each of these projects is being planned out, 46:22.800 --> 46:29.040 being cognizant of how the different projects may overlap or intersect one another. 46:31.120 --> 46:39.680 The overall bar or the arrow represents the total duration of the project starting at design, 46:39.680 --> 46:45.600 going through permitting, all the way through construction completion. The star on each line 46:45.600 --> 46:50.400 represents when those projects would go out to bid to a contractor and be awarded, 46:50.400 --> 46:56.160 at which point some actionable items would come back to public works on the council. 46:57.200 --> 47:04.080 And then the hatched crosshatch bars here represent when we expect active construction to take place. 47:06.880 --> 47:13.280 The first project is 26-1 and I'm going to turn it over to Erin to explain the first couple of 47:13.280 --> 47:20.080 projects. Thanks, Ben. Good evening, everybody. Thanks again for having us. As Ben stated a little 47:20.080 --> 47:25.920 bit earlier, you've seen different variations of this and these are updates to what you've seen in 47:25.920 --> 47:33.280 the past. So this is what we call 26-1, it's water and sewer extension. This runs along 47:33.280 --> 47:39.760 Mink Ranch Road to the west of Kontrunk Highway H, also on Highland Drive to the east of H and 47:39.760 --> 47:48.240 then up Kontrunk Highway KW, approximately to the boat storage facility. This has over 47:48.240 --> 47:56.560 8,000 feet of water main and 3,000 feet of sanitary sewer and this serves the Canalsville parcels. 47:56.560 --> 48:04.160 The main project purpose for this is to provide looping for water and sewer up to the 48:05.040 --> 48:10.240 TID-FRI projects, but also to serve the Canalsville obligation area. 48:11.840 --> 48:18.720 The project schedule is the construction, the design is complete. We have already gone out to 48:19.360 --> 48:25.760 bid and received bids from contractors and we anticipate on recommending award, 48:25.760 --> 48:33.040 potentially recommending award in October. The projects are currently under review by the 48:33.040 --> 48:42.800 city attorney. As far as construction is anticipated, we expect from January through 48:42.800 --> 48:48.000 October of 2027, pending DNR and PSC approvals. 48:51.600 --> 49:00.400 26-2 is water main extension only, no sanitary sewer and this runs along Kontrunk Highway KW 49:00.400 --> 49:07.040 up to Lake Drive and then connects into the TID-FRI projects for a second connection for 49:07.040 --> 49:14.240 water main, a redundancy connection point. This is about 11,000 feet of water main. We're planning 49:14.240 --> 49:21.680 on utilizing trenchless water main installation. The reason for that is to try to minimize impacts 49:21.680 --> 49:29.200 to the property owners, business owners that are along KW and up through Lake Drive. 49:30.000 --> 49:35.200 We'll have open cuts for where the hydrants are and we will be installing a pressure-reducing 49:35.200 --> 49:40.880 valve up on Lake Drive and then also automatic flushing hydrants in two different locations. 49:41.840 --> 49:47.760 Again, as I just stated a second ago, the purpose is to loop to the north connection point and also 49:47.760 --> 49:52.720 to serve the Canalsville obligation area. We also received bids at the same time as when we went 49:52.720 --> 49:59.920 out for bid for 26-1. They're under review by the city attorney and we anticipate recommending 49:59.920 --> 50:09.440 award in October. This schedule also is anticipated from January to October of 27, pending DNR and PSC 50:09.440 --> 50:21.280 approval. As far as key considerations, coordination with the agencies, coordination with neighboring 50:23.440 --> 50:30.160 communities within the town, also coordinating with a DOT. This map to the right side just shows 50:31.600 --> 50:39.360 detour routes. Just for instance, a lot of the collaboration that are the city staff, our staff 50:40.880 --> 50:49.040 working with the town, working with the county, working with WISTOT to gain permits to make sure 50:49.120 --> 50:55.680 that what we're presenting here and as far as traffic control detour routes, all will work as 50:55.680 --> 51:02.320 best as possible for the residents in this area. We're cognizant that this makes impacts to those 51:02.320 --> 51:07.440 that drive through here. We want to try and make sure that we construct these projects in a way 51:07.440 --> 51:12.960 to minimize the amount of impacts that they have. So that's a key part to our design. 51:13.840 --> 51:21.200 The next project is 27-2. This is sewer and water extension as well. This is a long 51:21.200 --> 51:28.080 kind of trunk highway H basically from the intersection of H and KW and Highland Drive and 51:28.080 --> 51:35.440 Minkeringge Road. So this extends basically up to the railroad tracks and it has about 2,400 feet 51:35.440 --> 51:41.440 of water main and 1,800 feet of sanitary sewer. Again, purpose for this is to serve the obligation 51:41.520 --> 51:46.480 area in Canalesville and also to provide a secondary loop to the water main that will be 51:46.480 --> 51:53.920 extended on county trunk KW. The design is ongoing for this project. We anticipate on bidding this 51:53.920 --> 52:04.160 winter with 2027 construction in the second quarter towards through the end of the season next year 52:04.960 --> 52:07.440 and we are pending permits for this project. 52:07.440 --> 52:11.360 With that, I'll turn it back over to Ben. 52:15.360 --> 52:22.000 All right. The next project is wastewater treatment plant planning. This is ongoing 52:22.000 --> 52:28.160 currently and anticipated to go through roughly the middle of next year. There are actually two 52:28.160 --> 52:33.440 plans that are happening concurrently right now. The first one is the wastewater treatment plant 52:33.440 --> 52:41.680 facility plan. This is a plan that's required by DNR when forecasted demands are approaching 52:41.680 --> 52:49.520 80% of the current plant capacity. They require this so that you can address how you might upgrade 52:49.520 --> 52:57.520 or expand the plant proactively. The scope of this plan includes reviewing options for expanding 52:57.520 --> 53:03.360 the plant. You can see that the site down there in the lakefront right now is pretty tight. 53:04.240 --> 53:13.040 So we're looking at ways and creative processes to try to see if that plant needs to be expanded 53:13.040 --> 53:19.600 how that could be done most effectively. The second plan that's going on right now is the 53:19.600 --> 53:26.480 sanitary sewer service area plan update and that encompasses the areas that you see in the color 53:26.480 --> 53:33.040 coded map to the right there. That plan is actually something that is authored in a process 53:33.040 --> 53:40.320 that's led by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. They're on track for a second 53:40.320 --> 53:49.920 quarter 2027 completion of that plan. Next is the water booster station, water facility, 53:49.920 --> 53:55.760 and associated water means. There's a lot of information on this slide but know that 53:55.760 --> 54:07.120 Strand was involved in doing a comprehensive water system study in 2023 and 2024. One of the 54:08.720 --> 54:16.560 outcomes, I'm sorry, 24 and 25. One of the outcomes of that study brought to light that the existing 54:16.560 --> 54:20.720 booster stations out in the system, one of which there's a picture of the interior, 54:21.600 --> 54:27.440 is significantly aged and passed the typical useful life. They're still serviceable but the 54:27.440 --> 54:32.880 equipment is at a point where it needs to be replaced. As a matter of fact, one of the booster 54:32.880 --> 54:40.880 stations had a catastrophic failure within the last year and a motor had to be replaced. 54:41.520 --> 54:49.840 We looked at this situation and recommended replacing the two existing aged booster stations 54:49.840 --> 54:57.840 with one new consolidated booster station. The top middle graphic just demonstrates that we did 54:57.840 --> 55:05.440 a siting study, evaluated seven different sites within the city that would be suitable for a 55:05.440 --> 55:11.920 booster station and the selected site that is shown on the upper right is on Oakland Avenue and 55:11.920 --> 55:20.720 it's actually adjacent to one of the existing two booster stations. The graphic on the bottom 55:20.720 --> 55:28.640 has that recommended site highlighted in the darker blue and then because the station is going to 55:28.640 --> 55:34.320 be consolidated, it'll have more pumping capacity in one location in the city than the previous 55:34.320 --> 55:41.280 station did and so we're recommending upsizing water means along the yellow route that provides 55:41.280 --> 55:47.280 necessary hydraulic capacity in the pipe on the suction side and discharge side of that station. 55:47.920 --> 55:53.520 I want to call your attention back to the top middle graphic. You can see that map is shaded 55:53.520 --> 55:59.280 with some purple area and some green. Those represent the different hydraulic pressure zones that the 55:59.280 --> 56:06.160 city's water distribution system operates under. The water treatment plant from the lake 56:06.800 --> 56:12.880 pumps directly into the main zone which is highlighted in purple and then these two existing booster 56:12.880 --> 56:19.840 stations boost that to a higher pressure to serve the higher elevation areas of the city as you get 56:19.840 --> 56:26.880 farther away from the lake. TID 5 is in that green or elevated booster area and therefore this 56:26.880 --> 56:33.120 project is TID eligible because it also helps supply water to the TID 5 site. 56:36.080 --> 56:44.640 This project we are hoping to start design on the booster station yet this year with bidding 56:44.640 --> 56:50.880 by quarter three of twenty twenty seven. We anticipate multiple bid packages that the booster 56:50.880 --> 56:56.400 station and facility might be a separate package than the water mains and the water mains themselves 56:56.400 --> 57:04.000 could be broken up into multiple bid packages to time those projects well with other construction 57:04.000 --> 57:10.320 projects that the city may have going on. Booster station is complex with a lot of electrical 57:10.320 --> 57:15.120 equipment and controls that have some longer lead times. So we're actually showing five 57:15.120 --> 57:19.920 quarters of construction with the hope to wrap that up by the end of 2028. 57:20.560 --> 57:29.920 The next project here is the Valley Creek restoration. Rob and his team have been in front of 57:31.680 --> 57:36.880 the council on a couple of occasions explaining the background and overview of this project 57:36.880 --> 57:42.480 which is shown in the graphic here on the right. This is a stream restoration project that helps 57:42.560 --> 57:49.920 with flooding control and particularly with treatment plant resiliency. Rights down on the 57:49.920 --> 57:54.880 waterfront of course are the wastewater plants. There's a park that separates it from the 57:55.440 --> 58:01.840 drinking water treatment plants. It's a tight area down there and the plants have been impacted by 58:01.840 --> 58:08.000 flooding in the past and it is projected that the stream restoration project will help kind of 58:08.000 --> 58:15.680 restore some of the natural ability of the waterway to handle the flood events better. 58:16.640 --> 58:22.880 The design of this is in progress. This project is partially not entirely but partially funded 58:22.880 --> 58:29.600 by TID and the city has applied for partnership funds that they expect to hear back on whether 58:29.600 --> 58:36.640 or not the applications were successful in approximately the next month or so and just know that 58:37.600 --> 58:46.960 as a key consideration here that Aaron's team, my team and the team that's designing the stream 58:46.960 --> 58:55.280 restoration or in coordination to kind of sequence the projects in a way that will minimize disruptions 58:55.280 --> 59:00.640 for example to the inner urban trail but also will be done in a logical sequence 59:00.960 --> 59:05.600 relative to the various projects the city has going on. 59:09.440 --> 59:16.880 The next project is the Jackson Street Interceptor. Survey is underway for this. Design will be 59:18.240 --> 59:26.400 ongoing. It's not because the design is overly complex but because we wanted to program this 59:26.480 --> 59:33.920 project for the bulk of the actual construction work to take place in 2028 city staff advise that's 59:33.920 --> 59:40.080 where it would fit in well relative to other projects that are in the normal capital improvement 59:40.080 --> 59:48.720 plan. This will upsize approximately 700 feet of 15 inch sanitary sewer to 30 inch. It is 59:49.520 --> 59:58.080 not on the direct interceptor route that serves TID 5 but it's adjacent to it and ties into the 59:58.080 --> 01:00:06.320 same downstream pipe near the treatment plant site and upside the sizing the sewer provides 01:00:07.200 --> 01:00:12.880 extra capacity in the overall collection system and provides some surcharge relief from events 01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:16.160 that have historically happened on Jackson Street. 01:00:19.680 --> 01:00:27.040 That brings us to the sanitary sewer upsizing that actually more directly serves the TID 5 project 01:00:27.040 --> 01:00:34.800 area. The entirety of that route is shown in the map in this pink line as the Gantt chart implies 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:43.200 that's being broken up into three different bid packages with the first package that is going 01:00:43.200 --> 01:00:52.240 to be designed to go out to bid is the lowermost portion the 27-1 that is closest to the treatment 01:00:52.240 --> 01:01:01.120 plant. The second project is the furthest upstream and then the middle project 30-1 at this time we 01:01:01.200 --> 01:01:07.680 do not believe that part of the interceptor needs to be upsized. We believe that it has 01:01:07.680 --> 01:01:15.360 adequate capacity right now. We learned that after studying it further after the TID plan was finalized 01:01:16.160 --> 01:01:21.520 so there's budget for that in the TID plan but we don't think that we're going to need it. The 01:01:21.520 --> 01:01:29.920 reason why is when this whole stretch is completed segment 28-2 will be 21 inches. 01:01:30.560 --> 01:01:36.720 Segment 30-1 is already 21 inches and then segment 27-1 will be 01:01:37.680 --> 01:01:47.840 upsized even further to 30 inches, 30 and 36 inches as it gets closer to the plant. 01:01:48.720 --> 01:01:57.120 The purpose of this is to increase capacity, mitigate surcharging and we expect to, 01:01:58.080 --> 01:02:03.920 the core team is already under design and their portion of this strand will be designing the 01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:09.120 portion that's actually on the grounds of the treatment plant and we expect to get started on 01:02:09.200 --> 01:02:10.480 that yet this year. 01:02:16.160 --> 01:02:23.200 Shown here are obviously five different projects. They're in all under the broad category of utility 01:02:23.200 --> 01:02:33.920 looping. On this map these include the water main projects that continue on the east side of TID 01:02:33.920 --> 01:02:44.320 5 and loop north and just back around west. Also shown are the sanitary sewer extensions that 01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:52.000 are necessary to serve the remainder of the areas of Canalsville. Note that in the far upper right 01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:59.120 here all these projects are under the caption development dependent. There have been no site 01:02:59.120 --> 01:03:06.000 specific development plans brought forth for the pink area or the northern phase of the 01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:14.640 lands owned by Vantage but the logical layout and timing of some of those projects will likely be 01:03:14.640 --> 01:03:23.440 intertwined with the timing and how that were to develop. So we've pushed most of these projects 01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:30.640 out a couple of years before design starts so these are kind of our best guess at this time. 01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:37.600 The light blue and dark blue projects I will point out do provide service to 01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:45.360 the obligation areas within Canalsville. So far Canalsville has been open to kind of 01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:52.640 deferring some of those projects until a higher level of confidence of exactly how to design them 01:03:52.640 --> 01:04:01.360 and for what is determined. So in summary specific city-led projects are being 01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:08.880 refined and are becoming actionable. Contract award and agreement actions will be upcoming 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:15.280 as soon as the October meetings as Aaron stated. What we presented here tonight represents 01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:22.560 approximately $100 million of city-led TID 5 projects that will likely take place over the 01:04:22.560 --> 01:04:29.280 next five years. Reminder that financing is by the developer. There's extensive project 01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:34.720 coordination ongoing between projects, governments and departments, community and organizations. 01:04:35.520 --> 01:04:39.280 Overall this plan will be revised as the projects progress. 01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:48.160 Showing one more time. This overall schedule. And now they have a little more background and context. 01:04:48.160 --> 01:04:54.000 You can see how they all line up. But other than that we would just like to open it up for any questions. 01:04:55.840 --> 01:05:00.400 Council any questions or wonderings? All heard from Spassel? 01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:06.480 First, Strand and Kupur, thank you very much for putting this together. I do have one clarifying question. 01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:14.720 On your slide number 16 it says 4300 feet of 21 inch sewer near Terrace Drive. 01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:22.400 Will Terrace Drive actually be impacted by this? Will you need to upsize on Terrace Drive? I'm 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:29.280 asking primarily for the residents that live on that street. Yes that is the intent. So it is 01:05:29.840 --> 01:05:35.280 intended to upsize all the way up to the far north end of the current dead end of Terrace Drive. 01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:42.480 And while that project also is designed we don't have the full design constraints quite yet. 01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:46.800 But we anticipate that there will be road reconstruction, repaving other things 01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:53.360 which to be determined but if certainly it will go to the end of the north end of Terrace Drive. 01:05:54.320 --> 01:05:56.000 Yep. Thank you. 01:05:58.560 --> 01:06:04.880 So I have like three separate questions for you. I want to thank you again for presenting 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:09.280 this. This is the second time I've had the opportunity to hear this. And the last time I 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:14.800 asked you questions that were really more focused on the city but tonight we have packed house 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:18.800 with town residents. So I want to address some of the comments that they made. 01:06:19.680 --> 01:06:26.800 And I know the city of Port in our contract with the town are giving them 150,000 a year 01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:34.240 for the next five years to the tune of 750,000 dollars that will reduce their tax obligation 01:06:34.240 --> 01:06:38.480 or provide this town to be able to provide more services for them. 01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:51.120 So along with the opportunity for town residents to hook up to city and water should they choose 01:06:51.120 --> 01:06:57.200 and still not annex which is usually what happens when you offer a city and water and sewer that 01:06:57.200 --> 01:07:03.200 they can do that without it. Do we know if the town hall will be part of that project? 01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:12.800 Yes. So far the design team has had conversations with the town chairman and the intent is that 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:18.160 the town hall is interested in connecting to municipal utilities as soon as they're available. 01:07:18.160 --> 01:07:22.320 Okay. So do you know if they're going to pay for that or we're just doing it 01:07:22.320 --> 01:07:29.760 gratis or do you not have any idea? I'll tell you the best of what I know right now and that is 01:07:29.760 --> 01:07:35.600 all of the infrastructure in the public right of way which would include the water main, 01:07:35.600 --> 01:07:41.520 the sewer main, the water service lateral to the curb stop and then a portion of the sanitary 01:07:41.520 --> 01:07:47.600 lateral usually to the property line. That is all part of the vantage paid for 01:07:49.200 --> 01:07:55.360 TID projects. I don't know that it's been hashed out yet the private portion of those 01:07:55.360 --> 01:08:01.040 laterals how those are getting paid for. Okay. It has. So so the city's obligation is to do 01:08:01.040 --> 01:08:05.280 the public right away and then the private the property owners it is their decision whether or 01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:11.200 not to hook up to those laterals including the town of Port Washington and just for clarification 01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:15.040 this is through Canelesville not the entire town of Port Washington. Yeah thank you. 01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:23.680 And then do we know of any other benefits that the town of Port residents will receive due to 01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:28.960 all these projects that we are our city taxpayers are going to be paying for. 01:08:30.400 --> 01:08:37.680 I'll just speak to the benefits directly tied to the projects and that is and I'm going to 01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:44.320 back up to the overview figure for that actually. So as as the mayor pointed out 01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:54.160 Canelesville which is in the blue shaded areas on this map the city is obligated to provide service 01:08:54.160 --> 01:09:00.880 to Canelesville and that will be met and then just by nature of needing to loop the utilities 01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:07.520 even further it's actually more properties than originally intended by those agreements 01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:12.320 that will have the opportunity to connect to municipal utilities if they so choose 01:09:13.120 --> 01:09:18.320 to do so those will be available to them. Thank you and then Miss Miller can I just address 01:09:18.320 --> 01:09:22.720 your question because there's some things they don't know about so in that in the last agreement 01:09:22.720 --> 01:09:27.520 with the town of Port Washington we had negotiated a reduced fire service contract as a result of 01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:34.320 this agreement as well as all of the water etc and then we had put in place a more firm boundary 01:09:34.320 --> 01:09:40.000 agreement about further annexation and almost uh you know not continuing to annex certain 01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:47.600 properties within the within the town. Thank you and second follow up is the the grant was 01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:53.280 mentioned mentioned by another individual for the Valley Creek project and you or Rob might be 01:09:53.280 --> 01:09:59.360 able to address this the grant that we've been writing about and we'll be applying for still 01:09:59.360 --> 01:10:08.480 exist still has dollars available. Yes it does so that was we made our application in June and we 01:10:08.480 --> 01:10:15.280 anticipate in October finding out if we are awarded our three point if we are awarded 3.8 01:10:15.280 --> 01:10:21.200 million dollars from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation National Coastal Resiliency Fund. 01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:28.560 Yeah that that fund is alive and well. Thank you and my last question is how flexible is this 01:10:28.560 --> 01:10:37.120 plan especially with you didn't know it specifically 27-1 28-2 and 30-1 that those were 01:10:37.120 --> 01:10:45.200 development dependent. Describe what a development dependent issue might arise that would change 01:10:45.200 --> 01:10:54.160 that. Yeah I'll answer this in a couple of parts. I would say um the higher degree of confidence 01:10:54.160 --> 01:11:00.880 is for the projects more at the top of this chart in the top of this plan as Aaron mentioned 26-1 and 01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:09.280 2 have actually already bid. 27-2 is at approximately a 90% design. The wastewater treatment plant 01:11:09.280 --> 01:11:17.600 and sewer service area plans are probably 50% of the way along and the other projects kind of in 01:11:17.600 --> 01:11:23.440 the black and gray there are are about ready to kick off except for the Valley Creek project which 01:11:23.440 --> 01:11:32.320 is also Rob I would say is at about a 90% design stage. Yep being September 15th we received the 01:11:32.320 --> 01:11:40.880 the 90% plans today. There you go. Yeah perfect. And then 27-1 design has started on that and 01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:46.000 that's kind of at the middle of this page and then all the rest of them on the way down is kind of 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:52.640 how we see them kind of shaping up with the best that we know now but we'll undoubtedly be back 01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:58.000 with an update on those projects. Now the second part of the question which is what's an example 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:04.560 of a developer dependent project? This is a great question where I can kind of nerd out on the 01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:15.520 engineering a little bit. So the pink areas here that are in TID 5 as I mentioned we have not received 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:23.200 any site specific development plans depending on how that develops. The lay of the land generally 01:12:23.200 --> 01:12:32.080 flows toward the lake right and water rolls downhill. So there's actually a split in the pink lands 01:12:32.080 --> 01:12:38.560 where where two-thirds of it kind of toward want to flow toward the east and that's how you would 01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:46.160 logically try to route a sewer interceptor to kind of serve that area with sewer but the other 01:12:46.160 --> 01:12:53.760 western third of that depends on how they develop the site. That sewer could flow all the way from 01:12:53.760 --> 01:13:01.440 west to east and then south through an interceptor or instead of that it could just go south and 01:13:01.440 --> 01:13:09.120 that's in until we know that we don't know okay should sewer be extended up KW first and when 01:13:09.120 --> 01:13:18.000 or should sewer go all the way around county LL first and when exactly. That's honestly really 01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:24.000 at the core of why those are developer dependent is we would want to really wait and see how they 01:13:25.440 --> 01:13:31.280 lay out their buildings and would want sewer service. So like any project whether it's small in your 01:13:31.280 --> 01:13:38.080 own home sometimes when you get halfway through it you realize it's far more complex or you have 01:13:38.080 --> 01:13:43.440 a whole lot more issues than you thought you would have and so you have to pivot so it's not a lie 01:13:44.320 --> 01:13:50.640 that this was our plan but sometimes things have to change. So it's not misspeaking. 01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:57.600 It is dealing with problems in an adult fashion. So I thank you for your time. 01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:04.320 Sure yes and Aaron and I of course are happy to be here and your staff has been great to work 01:14:04.320 --> 01:14:14.240 at work alongside. I do just want to also point out that at the time the TID project plan was put 01:14:14.240 --> 01:14:22.160 together I would say there was that was what we would refer to as like a concept level design 01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:28.160 just looking at existing ground contours you could sewer it this way or that way 01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:36.000 but both options are covered in the TID project plan. So we're kind of at a phase where obviously 01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:42.000 these projects are taking shape as we build that confidence and the scope is getting better refined 01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:47.840 and just to reiterate your own point like once we learn more they'll get refined even more and 01:14:47.840 --> 01:14:53.440 there are some things that could change but it's all under the umbrella of what was planned for 01:14:54.240 --> 01:14:59.120 in the TID. Thank you. Any other questions or wonderings? 01:15:01.280 --> 01:15:04.800 I'm sorry. We don't engage with the community. Thank you. 01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:12.560 Council? Okay all right that brings us into the next agenda item which is the and thank you 01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:16.160 gentlemen for that report and extensive work on that. Appreciate a good Gantt chart. 01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:22.960 Our monthly department reports were presented to us. I just wanted to point out and say thank you 01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:26.640 to the teams supporting that together. Again community if you have the opportunity to review 01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:31.200 the amazing work that's being done by every department in the city I think that's really 01:15:31.200 --> 01:15:38.160 important to go through there and I just wanted to give a special shout out to one of our firefighters 01:15:38.160 --> 01:15:44.480 Tom Shabruno who is celebrating his 44th year of service to the fire department with all of the 01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:49.360 other anniversaries. I think that's fantastic. That brings us into the city administrator update 01:15:49.360 --> 01:15:54.080 and she is not here this evening for that which then brings us to the city clerk for hopefully 01:15:54.080 --> 01:16:01.040 some election updates. Yes thank you. I just want to let everyone know that the ballots have been 01:16:01.040 --> 01:16:08.240 printed for November and have arrived and the first mail out of all absentee ballots to those with 01:16:08.240 --> 01:16:14.960 applications on file will be this Thursday. Absentee ballots can be requested by mail through 01:16:16.240 --> 01:16:24.400 from this point forward if you haven't already through October 29th. If you are doing mail out 01:16:24.400 --> 01:16:31.520 absentee I would recommend knowing for many years working with this program that you need to allow 01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:37.760 at least one week minimum to receive the ballot and one week to return it if you are out of state 01:16:37.760 --> 01:16:43.120 or out of country of course that's extended substantially. If you're interested in person 01:16:43.120 --> 01:16:48.480 early voting which is also absentee voting but it doesn't have the mail component to it. 01:16:48.480 --> 01:16:55.040 We will be holding that here peroition city hall in this room from October 20th through the 30th 01:16:55.920 --> 01:17:01.200 and that will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the exception of the final day on October 30th it runs 01:17:01.200 --> 01:17:08.640 until 5. Election day is November 3rd. Polls open at 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. If anyone has any 01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:14.080 questions is interested in voter registration because they haven't completed that yet or has 01:17:14.080 --> 01:17:18.800 questions on absentee voting. Please contact City Hall and we'd be happy to help you. 01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:23.760 Thank you Susan. Thank you to all the volunteers and your team that does a great job every single 01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:28.480 election. Appreciate it. All right that brings us into the next oh I do want to back up to one 01:17:28.480 --> 01:17:33.200 thing I forgot under mayor's business and I wanted to thank Roger for working with 01:17:33.200 --> 01:17:36.880 vantage in the Department of Transportation. I would agree that the north side of Port 01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:42.240 Washington right now is ridiculous with the stoplights not being timed together as well as the 01:17:42.240 --> 01:17:46.640 attempt to try to make those roads better that is very difficult for everyone on the north side 01:17:46.640 --> 01:17:51.440 of town so thank you for reaching out to them and working with them to expedite that being cleaned 01:17:51.440 --> 01:17:57.680 up. Okay that brings us into the agenda items under general governance and finance committee. 01:17:57.680 --> 01:18:00.480 The first agenda item is consideration of possible action 01:18:02.960 --> 01:18:10.880 on an ordinance 2026-03 in ordinance repealing and recreating 415-03 lead and galvanized 01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:17.040 service line replacement requirement. This is the second reading for this and I'm going to turn 01:18:17.040 --> 01:18:26.720 that over to Roger. All right as as mentioned this is the second time this has been 01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:35.440 before council for for reading and essentially this this makes lead service line replacement 01:18:36.240 --> 01:18:43.120 mandatory underneath the conditions outlined in the memo. This was approved at the general 01:18:43.120 --> 01:18:48.320 government finance committee on August 4th and we recommend approval of the ordinance. 01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:50.240 Any questions? 01:18:52.320 --> 01:18:53.600 I'm wondering Mr. Benning. 01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:55.840 I'll move to approve. 01:18:56.560 --> 01:18:58.160 There's a motion to approve. Is there a second? 01:18:58.960 --> 01:19:02.960 Moved and seconded. Any questions or concerns on that motion? All right seeing none all in 01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:08.880 favor signify by saying aye. Opposed? All right the motion carries. Thank you for that. The next 01:19:08.880 --> 01:19:12.720 one agenda item is consideration of possible action of alcohol premise extension for Port 01:19:12.720 --> 01:19:16.640 Washington Main Street for the fall festival. The issue is should the common council 01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:20.960 recommend approval of a one-day extension of alcohol licenses for Sir James Pub, 01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:26.480 Twisted Willow, Verbosity, Book House, John's pizzeria, the plaid cardinal schooner pub, 01:19:26.480 --> 01:19:29.920 the steerage dining saloon, Bernie's fine meats, fork and tap, 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:34.560 dino orchards and moonlight tavern to allow participation in the fall festival. 01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:40.320 The staff is recommending approval as presented for the establishment solicited on the attachment. 01:19:40.400 --> 01:19:40.800 Susan. 01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:48.800 Unless any of you have questions this festival runs annually is put on by Port Main Street in 01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:53.440 the downtown area. There is closures on Franklin Street and a few of the side streets 01:19:54.240 --> 01:20:00.080 to accommodate that that festival on that day. The extension of premise includes the 01:20:01.040 --> 01:20:06.800 beer and wine service from these establishments in plastic cups only and they would be able to 01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:13.120 be consumed within the grounds. All the paperwork and fees have been paid everything is in order 01:20:13.120 --> 01:20:17.520 so we're recommending approval. Fantastic day in Port Miss Miller. 01:20:17.520 --> 01:20:24.720 Just a curiosity do is it one bulk with all of these like they pay one fee or did each 01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:32.720 business have to pay at separate fee? The extension of premise that you're proving are for businesses 01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:39.680 that have annual alcohol licenses and the state statutes handle those differently than temporary 01:20:39.680 --> 01:20:47.840 licenses for festivals such as nonprofits. So they they have to provide the product 01:20:48.400 --> 01:20:54.880 within their own establishment as allowed by law and it can be carried outside of their 01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:58.480 establishment off their premise. So that's what you're proving. 01:20:58.480 --> 01:21:04.240 But if the fee is $5 is a $5 for all of them or did each business have to pay $5? 01:21:05.440 --> 01:21:11.600 That's what I'm asking. Those are the temporary licenses that we issue to the non-profits. 01:21:11.600 --> 01:21:15.360 That's a $5 or $10 charge. Is that what you're thinking? 01:21:15.360 --> 01:21:16.960 I don't know what the charge is. 01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:21.200 Yeah. Did Bernie's pay $5 or just Main Street pay the fee? 01:21:21.200 --> 01:21:26.000 And Main Street would pay for theirs. Yes. And Main Street handles. 01:21:26.160 --> 01:21:31.520 So what I'm hearing is that each business had to pay whatever the fee was. It wasn't like one, 01:21:32.400 --> 01:21:37.600 this group of people only paid for one. The each had to pay a fee. Is that what I'm hearing? 01:21:37.600 --> 01:21:41.920 No, they do not. Okay. They're there. That's paid by Main Street. 01:21:41.920 --> 01:21:44.480 I understand what you're saying now. I apologize. Thank you. I'm sorry. 01:21:46.080 --> 01:21:48.800 Other questions or is there someone willing to make a motion? 01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:51.760 Make a motion to approve. There's a motion to approve. Is there a second? 01:21:51.760 --> 01:21:53.760 I'll second. Oh, go ahead. 01:21:53.760 --> 01:21:57.440 Mary Lou, you get the second. Any questions or concerns on the motion? 01:21:57.440 --> 01:22:01.760 For October 3rd Fall Festival, seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye. 01:22:02.400 --> 01:22:04.560 Opposed? Motion carries. 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:10.080 That takes us into consideration and possible action to approve the use of water utility reserves 01:22:10.080 --> 01:22:15.120 to fund the East Path Improvement Project in 2026. The issue is, should the Common Council 01:22:15.120 --> 01:22:19.360 approve the use of water utility reserves to fund the East Path Improvement Project and the staff 01:22:19.360 --> 01:22:24.000 is recommending the approval of the water utility reserves to fund the East Path Improvements 01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:28.080 in 2026? Who's taking this one? 01:22:28.080 --> 01:22:30.080 I'll get it started and then. All right. 01:22:30.080 --> 01:22:35.360 Dan, technical question. We reviewed this in the General Government Finance Committee. 01:22:36.800 --> 01:22:42.800 Went through the financials piece of it. Mark assured us there's money in the reserves. 01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:49.280 This was planned for 2027. We're moving up to 2026, kind of end of the year, 01:22:49.280 --> 01:22:53.680 take advantage of some synergies with the contractors that are already on site. 01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:57.920 So that's really what the action tonight is about. 01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:00.080 Dan. Excellent. Dan. 01:23:00.080 --> 01:23:04.800 Yep. Thank you. I learned, Beni. This is a, I just wanted to give a visual of what this is 01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:08.640 going to look like. This is from the South Newport Shores Park in Latin looking North. 01:23:09.280 --> 01:23:13.920 The bump outs to the East are where our shore well tanks are. 01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:22.080 So the southern portion of this path gives the utility better access to the west part of the 01:23:22.080 --> 01:23:28.080 east part of the building and then our underground tanks were in the past. We had a pretty 01:23:29.760 --> 01:23:34.800 tough time accessing these tanks and then the south part where you see the brick work on the 01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:41.840 building that's actually the new tank. So this allows better access for utility as far, 01:23:41.840 --> 01:23:48.000 and then as well as emergency vehicles if they need to get to the path to get to the park or the 01:23:48.000 --> 01:24:00.080 rotary. I'm going to go. This is from the north looking south. So the north part portion of this 01:24:00.080 --> 01:24:08.320 is more open for residents and visitors. So we're planning on giving a little bit more green 01:24:08.320 --> 01:24:14.080 space back than what was previously there. There used to be a pretty large hill for where the 01:24:14.080 --> 01:24:20.000 grass met the rocks. So the plan is to kind of level that out. It's about 22 feet of green space 01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:27.040 before it hits the path. And the path is going to be about 14 feet wide. So we're taking the path 01:24:27.120 --> 01:24:32.480 a little bit more towards the plant, widening it a little bit, and then giving more green space back. 01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:41.360 I just I have one wondering for you or a request and that is at the beginning of that pathway, 01:24:41.360 --> 01:24:46.640 will there be a planter or a bawler that's going to stop the ability for vehicles to pull in there 01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:51.680 or a temporary one that can be pulled if you do have to bring in vehicles? Yeah, and also the curb 01:24:52.320 --> 01:24:57.200 getting into the path will still remain. So there's still going to be a curb. But yeah, okay, 01:24:57.200 --> 01:25:03.920 just for safety. Awesome. Other questions? I just have two comments. So we had discussed this 01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:10.080 pretty well in public works. And part of the reason why the path is so wide is so that emergency 01:25:10.080 --> 01:25:18.240 vehicles could get back there. So we need something removable. And then secondly where it ends is where 01:25:18.320 --> 01:25:24.560 Valley Creek would be daylighting. So we wouldn't be ripping out anything new. It would just be 01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:32.000 up to that point. Correct. Is that a motion? Sure. I'll make a motion to 01:25:33.200 --> 01:25:38.160 approve the recommendation of the staff. Which would be for the water utility reserves to fund 01:25:38.160 --> 01:25:42.480 the pathway. Is there a second on that motion? Seconded by Alderman Benning. Any questions or 01:25:42.480 --> 01:25:47.520 concerns on the motion? All right, seeing none. All in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed? 01:25:48.240 --> 01:25:51.200 All right, that motion carries. That takes us into the next agenda item. 01:25:51.760 --> 01:25:55.520 Get from the planning commission consideration and possible action on well permits for the data 01:25:55.520 --> 01:26:00.080 center. The issue is should the city grant private well operating permits at the data center and 01:26:00.080 --> 01:26:05.040 the staff is recommending the city grant the well operating permits for the existing wells. Roger. 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:17.040 All right. This has been addressed to previous public works meetings in the board of public works. 01:26:18.480 --> 01:26:21.840 Recommended approval of the well permit for operating purposes. 01:26:22.960 --> 01:26:28.080 Essentially the purpose of our ordinances to prevent cross connections into our water main. 01:26:28.880 --> 01:26:34.640 These wells are in compliance with that and therefore we recommend approval of the operating 01:26:34.640 --> 01:26:38.240 permit. Okay. Any questions for Roger? 01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:45.360 Sir. The permit only last five years. Is that correct? 01:26:46.320 --> 01:26:51.840 Yes, our ordinance specifically states five years. And then clarification around the monthly 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:55.680 reporting usage on an annual basis and on a monthly basis. What was the rationale there, Roger? 01:26:58.480 --> 01:27:07.280 It's very easy for us to get monthly readings on that. I'll have to discuss with PSC 01:27:08.080 --> 01:27:12.960 whether we can report that because typically we're not allowed to report specific users 01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:18.560 water amount. But since they're not drawing water or paying us for that water, 01:27:19.360 --> 01:27:24.400 I think we're able to make the data public. But that's something I have to look into. 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:31.040 Miss Miller. So just a little clarification. This monthly report will be given to us 01:27:31.040 --> 01:27:38.160 monthly or we will receive 12 months at the end of the year. We'll we'll take specific monthly 01:27:38.160 --> 01:27:43.200 readings. So yeah, they have they have meters on their well. He's easy enough for us to get a 01:27:43.200 --> 01:27:48.960 reading. And we're allowed to go on their property and do that. Yeah. And we're going to do that 01:27:48.960 --> 01:27:56.880 at a condition. Okay, great. Roger, I have a question. Are there are there stipulations for 01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:04.240 this in for like businesses in the town or other people who have wells? I'm totally in favor of 01:28:04.240 --> 01:28:13.840 monitoring it. No, there are any any city properties that have wells. There's a handful. So they do not 01:28:13.840 --> 01:28:20.080 report their usage on the well or or we just do a five year inspection to make sure that they are 01:28:20.080 --> 01:28:25.920 not connected into the public system. And then just for my own assurance for the public, this 01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:33.280 this is only for usage to for you know, water use for drinking water, toilet flushing, etc. This 01:28:33.280 --> 01:28:38.320 is not being used for anything else. They're not pulling for concrete batching, etc. That is 01:28:38.320 --> 01:28:43.840 correct. And in that area, in the town of Port Washington, where would the nearest large capacity 01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:53.120 well be to the to that property? If you go east on Lake Drive past L.O. 943, there's there's a I 01:28:53.120 --> 01:28:59.200 believe it's a goat dairy and they they have a permit for high capacity. Well, okay. All right, 01:28:59.200 --> 01:29:02.880 thank you. And I do appreciate the monitoring. And if we can share that publicly legally, 01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:08.240 we should. Are there any other questions? Yeah, all the room pastel. 01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:16.880 And there's monitoring of water usage. Is there anything that is done as far as the sewer use, 01:29:16.880 --> 01:29:21.840 holding tanks, anything like that that might be monitored? Or is it strictly water usage? 01:29:22.080 --> 01:29:33.440 Well, the typical is that we monitor water and then sewage is the same amount. They do have 01:29:33.440 --> 01:29:39.680 holding tanks that they're using. And my understanding is once in a while, they'll take that to a 01:29:39.680 --> 01:29:44.720 remote site to dump. But I believe that they take it to a different wastewater treatment plant item. 01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:49.920 I guess I don't have knowledge of which other plants they go to. 01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:55.280 All right. Any other questions? 01:29:56.320 --> 01:29:59.600 Is there anyone willing to make a motion on the staff recommendation? 01:29:59.600 --> 01:30:05.120 And I should say, if they do remote dump at our site, we do track that volume and record it and 01:30:05.120 --> 01:30:09.760 send a bill for it. Yeah, let's clarify remote dump because that just sounds like they just get 01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:14.640 to put it wherever the heck they want to. That's that is. So we have a remote receiving station 01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.480 for the city of Port Washington. Yeah, before we bring in a lot of 01:30:19.280 --> 01:30:23.360 right, we bring in a lot of sewage from around the region as an opportunity for not a lot, 01:30:23.360 --> 01:30:26.320 but we bring in sewage from around the region or the potty haulers. 01:30:27.120 --> 01:30:31.120 And it's a revenue source for the city of Port Washington. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Because remote 01:30:31.120 --> 01:30:35.920 dumping just sounds like that doesn't sound good. All right. Is there anyone willing to make a 01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:43.280 motion then on the staff recommendation? I'll make the motion. There's a motion. Is there a second? 01:30:44.160 --> 01:30:47.440 That's it. Moved and seconded. Any questions or concerns on the motion? 01:30:49.040 --> 01:30:54.400 All right. All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? No. All right. The motion carries. 01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:59.600 That takes us into the next agenda item from the Planning Commission, which is consideration 01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:04.480 possible action on amendment of a conditional use grant. We will be delaying this decision 01:31:04.480 --> 01:31:10.400 for this evening. We have to repost this for a public hearing. So if you're here for that agenda 01:31:10.400 --> 01:31:14.160 item tonight, that and council, we will be delaying that item. So that's going to bring us 01:31:14.160 --> 01:31:19.520 on to agenda item number 10, which is a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the city 01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:24.240 of Port Washington's Comprehensive Plan 2035. I'm going to call that hearing to order. The 01:31:24.240 --> 01:31:30.880 purpose of the design of this is the designation of 1.4 acres of land located at 365 North Wisconsin 01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:35.680 and 104 West Washington Street as mixed use traditional neighborhood on the city of Port 01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:41.040 Washington future land use map for proposed residential development. Notice is given that this 01:31:41.040 --> 01:31:44.880 hearing is to accept public comments on the proposed amendment to the city of Port Washington's 01:31:44.880 --> 01:31:52.080 Comprehensive Plan 2035. Are there any speakers on this for this public hearing? Any speakers 01:31:52.080 --> 01:31:57.760 for the public hearing? Any speakers for the public hearing? Okay. I'm going to close the hearing. 01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:02.560 That brings us into the subject agenda item, which is consideration and possible action on 01:32:02.560 --> 01:32:10.160 ordinance 2026-07 in ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan future 2035 land use plan map 01:32:10.160 --> 01:32:15.680 for the purpose of designating approximately 1.4 acres of land located at 365 North Wisconsin 01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:20.160 Street and 104 West Washington Street as mixed use traditional neighborhood on the city of Port 01:32:20.160 --> 01:32:25.120 Washington future land use map for proposed residential development. The city of Port Washington is the 01:32:25.120 --> 01:32:30.560 applicant. This is the second reading, which means we can take action and the council is being asked 01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:35.440 to review and adopt an ordinance amending the city's comprehensive future land use map to designate 01:32:35.440 --> 01:32:41.040 approximately 1.4 acres of land from government institutional and utilities to mixed use traditional 01:32:41.040 --> 01:32:47.440 neighborhood to accommodate a proposed residential townhome development. Mr. Harris. So this is 01:32:48.480 --> 01:32:56.000 part of the process of lining up the former police and fireblock for that townhome residential 01:32:56.000 --> 01:33:02.880 development that you have all seen previously. This is the first step to rezone that property 01:33:02.880 --> 01:33:09.120 from public utility lands because it was the police and fire station and it is to change the 01:33:09.120 --> 01:33:15.680 land use map from public utility over to the down to a traditional neighborhood mixed use 01:33:15.680 --> 01:33:21.920 traditional neighborhood on the city's future land use map. So this is the first step and this 01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:29.200 will allow for a future rezoning to rezone it to be for and allow for that townhome development 01:33:29.200 --> 01:33:36.880 to move forward. Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Harris? Hold on one pastel. Just clarification 01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:43.440 regardless of who's building on this. This rezoning needs to be done, correct? Yes, correct. Thank you. 01:33:43.600 --> 01:33:45.600 Thank you. 01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:46.080 Other 01:33:46.080 --> 01:33:51.760 wonderings? Are we willing to make a motion? I will make a motion to adopt ordinance 2026-07. 01:33:52.640 --> 01:33:54.800 There's a motion. Is there a second? Second. 01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:57.280 Moved and seconded. Any questions or concerns on the motion? 01:33:57.920 --> 01:34:00.880 All right, seeing none. All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. 01:34:00.880 --> 01:34:07.120 Opposed? All right, that motion carries. That takes us into agenda item 10-3 which also needs 01:34:07.120 --> 01:34:12.480 to be delayed until we can post for a public hearing for that. So that takes us to number four 01:34:12.480 --> 01:34:16.080 which is consideration and possible action on an easement agreement with the town of Port 01:34:16.080 --> 01:34:20.880 Washington for sewer and water utilities to be provided by the city of Port Washington. 01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:25.040 The issue is should the city approve an easement agreement for sanitary sewer and water 01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:29.440 main installation from the city of Port Washington into the town of Port Washington. The staff is 01:34:29.440 --> 01:34:34.240 recommending approving the easement agreement to provide utility services to the town of Port 01:34:34.240 --> 01:34:42.160 Washington. Mr. Strahm? Yeah, so you heard on the tip to presentation is this would be 01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:54.800 a part of project 26-1. The best route for sewer and water is the cut through the parking lot of 01:34:54.800 --> 01:35:02.000 the town hall. That involves the most efficiently serve that little community down there. 01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:06.320 So 01:35:12.000 --> 01:35:19.360 I guess I had a discussion with the town chair right before this meeting and their attorney would 01:35:19.360 --> 01:35:27.680 like to make a change to condition number eight on the easement. So the recommended motion would 01:35:27.680 --> 01:35:34.400 change to approve the easement agreement for sanitary sewer and water made to the town of Port 01:35:34.400 --> 01:35:42.640 Washington subject to the attorney's agreement on the easement language. This easement was prepared by 01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:45.440 Chris Smith of von Breason. So 01:35:47.760 --> 01:35:49.760 I need to have a discussion with him regarding it. 01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:56.080 Yeah, so the approval would be continued upon that there's some semantics in there that they 01:35:56.160 --> 01:36:00.960 want to adjust. Nothing that changes the scope of the contract at all in any way. We've done that 01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:09.440 before contingent upon final attorney approval. Any questions upon this issue? Was there anyone 01:36:09.440 --> 01:36:12.720 willing to make a motion to approve the easement agreement between the town and the city of Port 01:36:12.720 --> 01:36:17.760 Washington so we can run water and sewer? There's a motion. Is there a second? Second. 01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:20.240 We've been seconded. Any questions or concerns on the motion? 01:36:21.120 --> 01:36:24.560 The motion does include the it is what you read. 01:36:26.560 --> 01:36:31.600 Condition upon an attorney approval. Okay. All in favor signify by saying aye. 01:36:32.400 --> 01:36:37.680 Opposed? All right. That motion carries. That takes us into agenda item 10's 5. 01:36:37.680 --> 01:36:42.080 Consideration and possible action in stormwater maintenance agreement for Highland Point North. 01:36:42.080 --> 01:36:45.520 The issue is should the Common Council approve a stormwater maintenance agreement with Highland 01:36:45.600 --> 01:36:50.080 Point North LLC and the staff is recommending that the council does approve the stormwater 01:36:50.080 --> 01:36:57.760 maintenance agreement? Roger. All right. So this also is a pretty typical agreement that we make 01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:02.800 with with any development that occurs that is required to put some stormwater detention 01:37:02.800 --> 01:37:09.680 pond or or other treatment or flood control device for stormwater on our property. This 01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:15.440 essentially ensures that they will maintain it. If they don't maintain it, the city has the right 01:37:15.440 --> 01:37:18.560 to go on to the property and maintain it and send them a bill for the work. 01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:28.400 So our recommendation is to approve. Any questions? Mr. Benning. 01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:34.480 There's a motion to approve. Is there a second? Second. There's a second on the motion. Any 01:37:34.480 --> 01:37:39.040 questions or concerns on the motion? Seeing none. All in favor signify by saying aye. 01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:45.360 Opposed? All right. The motion carries. That brings us into agenda item number 10-6. 01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:51.200 Consideration and possible action on a resolution 2026-09 accepting the 01:37:51.200 --> 01:37:55.840 dedication of public infrastructure on Highland Drive and Lake Drive. The issue is should the 01:37:55.840 --> 01:38:01.440 Common Council approve resolution 2026-09 accepting the dedication of rectangular 01:38:01.440 --> 01:38:06.400 rapid flashing beacons from vantage data centers management LLC and the staff is 01:38:06.400 --> 01:38:14.240 recommending approval of resolution 2026-09. Roger. All right. We're going to start tonight. 01:38:16.640 --> 01:38:22.240 One of the conditions that that we put on advantage when they were they were doing work on Lake 01:38:22.240 --> 01:38:30.400 Drive and then this also included Highland Drive and it was in the overall language also from 01:38:30.400 --> 01:38:36.880 DOT for all the other intersections they were doing was that they put these rapid flashing beacons 01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:44.880 where the inner urban crosses roads in their jurisdiction. I guess so they've installed 01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:51.840 the rapid flashing beacons. They've been inspected. They're operating and since they're in the city 01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:58.320 right away they essentially they are handing those beacons over to us. 01:39:00.160 --> 01:39:06.000 Roger, I had a question and it may have been reviewed in committee but is there an anticipated 01:39:08.240 --> 01:39:12.800 liability to the city for costs for maintenance of this down the road and do we know what that is 01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:18.960 and is it significant? It would be relatively minor.
