FOR MEETING OF: May 3, 2022
REQUEST FROM/DEPARTMENT: Recreation Department
AGENDA ITEM/REQUEST: Meister Park improvement from CSA
***************************************************
DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT/ITEM WITH KEY ISSUES NOTED:
The CSA (Columbus Softball Association) seeks approval from City Council members to allow
their association to fundraise for lights in Meister Park; specifically around diamond one.
The Recreation committee discussed this project at our last meeting; all members are in support
of their efforts for park improvements. The Recreation committee is thrilled for an addition such
as this because it can open up opportunities for adult softball leagues for evening play.
The CSA has successfully fundraised for two scoreboards, fence capping and a flagpole at
Meister Park previously.
Teddy Decker (CSA President) has been working with Dave from Water & Light to formulate a
plan. Should council members approve the project, a light study will be organized to best
determine the costs and will allow planning of electrical needs for this project.
Enclosed is a map where light poles may positioned; a light study will best determine those
needs. When the light study is complete, financial findings will be shared with city council
members.

FOR MEETING OF: May 3, 2022
REQUEST FROM/DEPARTMENT: DPW & Recreation
AGENDA ITEM/REQUEST: MOU approval for the Fourth of July committee
***************************************************
DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT/ITEM WITH KEY ISSUES NOTED:
Here is a little history on the rental contract with the Fourth of July committee.
In 2018, the Recreation Committee requested of council that the Fourth of July committee have a
separate park rental contract specifically for their Fourth of July celebration. Prior to this suggestion, only
a Pavilion contract was submitted for approval; not only was the Pavilion being used but the open shelters
and grounds were as well. Council approved the park rental contract drafted by Attorney Johnson. Prior
to 2018, no monetary payment was made to the city for their use of the shelters and grounds. Instead,
the committee made many large donations of picnic tables and benches to City of Columbus parks. At
the same meeting, council also approved the recommendation from the Recreation committee that
payment of $500 be made to the city for their use of the park. Discussions with the Fourth of July was
executed before any items were brought to council.
In 2020, the Recreation Committee recommended an increase in costs for use of the open shelters and
grounds. The committee acknowledged that the group provides an event for our community that many
people have come to love and we felt a gradual increase in costs was fair; we did recommend to council
that year 2021 payment of $1,000 be paid and year 2022 payment of $1500 be made to cover the costs
of utilities.
At this particular meeting, council agreed to move forward (approve) the $1,000 cost increase for 2021,
but wanted more information on utility costs. Amy Jo agreed to work with Water and Light to get those
numbers. This was the year of COVID; agendas were long and were zoom. The agenda item was
pushed back to the first of the year (2021) and for whatever reason the request of the $1500 fee was
never brought back for approval.
Current year 2022. Jerry from DPW has worked with the Fourth of July committee to create a MOU that
specifically puts in place an understanding of the committee’s obligations and the city’s. Attorney
Johnson thought combining the MOU and the approved Park rental agreement was wise. Tonight we are
asking for approval of the MOU and for the rate increase of $1500 be approved for future years.
Enclosed are the findings from the 2019 study. Water and Light continues to charge the same amount for
usage in 2022 as they did in 2019.

Council Meeting date: ____________
ITEM:_Remote Meeting Attendance Ordinance_
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
During the Pandemic, Zoom has become a routine way for members of the City Council
to attend and participate in meetings. The League of Wisconsin Municipalities has noted
that: “While communities are not legally obligated to allow governmental body members
or the public to attend meetings remotely, many have chosen to do so because of
positive experiences with remote attendance during the pandemic. Municipal governing
bodies may adopt ordinances or policies outlining the circumstances under which
governmental body members and the public may attend meetings remotely.” If the City
would like to continue offering this option to the City Council, the League recommends
adopting an Ordinance to formally establish this practice outside of any emergency or
temporary Orders.
Attorney Johnson has drafted an Ordinance for the Council’s review, and will be
available to discuss any questions the Council may have.

ITEM: _Zoning Map Amendment for parcel 11211-1508.13___________
SUBMITTED BY: __Matt Schreiber _____________________________
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Columbus Community Hospital Inc (DBA Prairie Ridge Health) has applied for a zoning
map amendment for parcel 11211-1508.13. The amendment would change the zoning
from RD Rural Development to B2 Highway Commercial.
Parcel 11211-1508.13 is an 8.2 acre parcel of land that is adjacent to the Prairie Ridge
Hospital located at 1515 Park Ave (parcel 11211-1192.1). The applicant has applied to
combine parcels 11211-1508.13 and 11211-1192.1 into one parcel via a Certified
Survey Map (CSM). The zoning designations for the properties are different and before
a CSM could be approved it requires a zoning map amendment. As a result the
applicant has applied to change the zoning on parcel 11211-1508.13 to be consistent
with the zoning designation for parcel 11211-1192.1.
The plan commission has reviewed this application and recommended approval at the
April 14th meeting.
Please note that the applicant has no immediate plans for this property. The applicant
has received a variance previously for lot coverage requirements. The completion of
the zoning map amendment and CSM would allow them to meet code.

March 14, 2022,
The Subcommittee has worked diligently over the past few months contacting Architects, site showings,
and providing a list of needed improvements. We appreciate all the time put into this by the Architects.
We received all the final proposals. We had our subcommittee meeting March 3, 2022, we went through
each proposal. We compared pros, cons, and figures of each Proposal.
Our recommendation is Design Coalition, for the Architect work on the Rest Haven Project.
Design Coalition & Roger Smith has worked for the City of Columbus and CHLPC on the Pavilion ADA
project. Their Proposal was most reasonable for services rendered.
Respectfully submitted,

PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
Remodeling for RestHaven Facility
1049B Park Avenue
Columbus, Wisconsin
Carolyn Fredericks and Ruth Hermanson
CHLPC Columbus, Wi
Carolyn and Ruth,
Thank you for inviting us to provide you with a proposal for architectural services for
the RestHaven project. I enjoyed meeting with you, and discussing ideas for the
project. We would certainly welcome the chance to work with you and CHLPC again.
Below we provide descriptions for our architectural services based on our on-site
meeting and our understanding of the project scope.
To summarize what I understand to be the scope of service you require: architectural
design and planning services for accomplishing the project scope we discussed on site
and which you describe in your 4/8/21 list (not repeated here), for remodeling the
existing toilet/shower rooms and aspects of the other existing spaces at the RestHaven
facility, with provision of stamped architectural drawings and specifications for
obtaining a building permit and executing construction of the work. Also included will
be a formal bidding process with all of the relevant City of Columbus guidelines, the
selection of a builder with the architect’s assistance, and construction administration
services through to the project’s completion.
In more detail...
We’re understanding that this scope includes these architectural services:
• Investigation and measuring of existing conditions, and preparation of to-scale
base drawings of the existing building for design work;
Proposal to CHLPC Remodeling for RestHaven Facility Jan 11, 2022
Design Coalition Architects, Madison, WI !1 of !4
6 of 14
• Research and analysis of applicable zoning and building codes, and
communications with government officials on your behalf to identify the relevant
issues that will impact your project;
• Preparation of design level drawings and outline specifications with material
selections for review with you and for your feedback, prior to proceeding;
• Preparation of construction drawings and specifications, to be the basis of the
construction contract with a general contractor;
• Preparation of the bidding packet, including a sample Owner-Contractor
Agreement, and conducting the formal bid process (advertising, coordination
with plan services, distribution of materials, issuing addenda if needed,
coordinating bid opening, etc). Process also anticipates a City Council review
process similar to the Fireman’s Park Pavillion project;
• Submittal and communications necessary to secure a building permit from the
State of Wisconsin. We understand that the building is on the National Historic
Register, and as the proposed scope of work is interior, we anticipate a
straightforward review and approval process similar to that for the Fireman’s
Park Pavilion. Our proposed fee does provide limited time for review and
approval of new windows if necessary;
• Communications with you, other CHLPC folks who you identify, construction
team members, and City officials. 9 hours of meeting/communication time is
included in our proposed fee;
• Structural design and consulting is not anticipated to be required, and therefore
is not included in the architectural fee;
• Construction-phase administration & observation by a registered architect during
the construction phase of the project. This includes services such as:
-regular communication/meetings with you and construction team members
(e.g. the general contractor, vendors/suppliers, etc.);
-observation of the construction via regular site visits (frequency to be
determined, based on stage of the construction progress);
-coordination of shop drawings and other submittals; processing of change
orders (if any), and payment requests from the General Contractor;
-submittal of completion/compliance statements to the City.
Proposed Fee: $8,800

Assumptions and some services not included in Proposed Fee: Our description
above of the project scope and our estimate of fees follow the assumptions as we
discussed them together in mid-December. The estimate above also includes the
following assumptions:
• Existing kitchen is to remain as is and is not part of the scope of work.
• Alterations to existing roof cavity (insulation and ventilation) is not part of the of
project scope. Services to analyze and design improvements to existing conditions
will considered as additional service.
• Heating/Ventilating/Air Conditioning, electrical, plumbing, and other systems will be
designed, specified and submitted for permits by the installing subcontractors in
communication with you and us. Design costs for those systems are therefore not
included in the architectural fee. We’ve assumed that subcontractors with knowledge,
integrity and experience will be selected, and we have accordingly included in our fee
reasonable coordination and communication time with the subcontractors and
general contractor to facilitate this. Concept descriptions of one or more heating
systems, as well as specific plumbing and lighting fixtures will be included in our
specifications for bid, and is part of our proposed fee.
This common process —usually dubbed “design-build”— means that detailed planning
for portions of the project is actually started only after the builder is identified and
under contract, and is appropriate for straightforward and limited projects such as
this one.
• Evaluation of the existing heating, cooling and ventilating equipment and
requirements, and all energy calculations, submittals and permits will be handled by
the HVAC subcontractor as part of their design-build responsibilities. Therefore these
services are not included in the architectural fee.
• We understand that it is only building contractors, not architects, who have a daily,
working knowledge of current construction costs; this is especially the case in
design-build situations. Accordingly, we do not provide preliminary construction cost
estimates.
• Unforseen and unknown issues outside of the basic project scope as presented
above, which present themselves during the course of the project and involve
significant re-designing, additional meetings and so on would be handled as
additional services.
• We anticipate using the Standard Owner-Architect Agreement form (AIA B104), and
for construction, the Standard Owner-Contractor Agreement form (A105) and
General Conditions (A205), which are appropriate for this scale of project.

Services following are not included in the proposed fee, and if you need them from us
they would be handled as additional services, billed on the normal hourly fee basis:
• Services made necessary by re-designs due to the requirements of governing
regulations, or changes in your requirements due to budget or other constraints, or
modifications proposed by building contractor(s); multiple bidding processes and/or
negotiations with building contractor(s).
• Assistance to you in applying for additional zoning and other entitlement permits,
including preparation of submittal materials, communications/meetings with
government staff, revision of materials, etc,.
• Preparation of 3D computer and other models.
• Site design, playground design and/or landscape architecture, land surveying,
geotechnical, civil engineering, utility coordination, and similar services.
• Such special systems as building security systems, communications/intercoms/AV/
computers as required, will be designed and specified by the installing
subcontractor(s) in communication with you and us.
• Presentations to and meetings with regulatory bodies, citizen groups, etc.
Our current hourly fees are: $108 for Registered Architect, $80 for Draftsperson; direct
costs such as postage and drawing reproductions are billed as reimbursable expenses,
with 10% added to direct costs for bookkeeping. Mileage will be billed at $0.55 per
mile, with travel time billed at half rate.
Agreement Form
If this proposal seems acceptable to you, please let me know and we can proceed to
draft an Owner-Architect agreement form for you to look over.
Carolyn and Ruth, I would very much look forward to the opportunity to work again
with you and CHLPC. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about
this proposal or the attached materials.
Respectfully submitted,
Roger Smith, Architect

CHLPC
c/o City of Columbus Paul A. Pyfferoen, AIA
Fireman’s Park Arts and Crafts Rest Haven 435 South Main Street
Columbus, WI 53925 Columbus, Wisconsin 53925
I am pleased to have the opportunity to put in a proposal to design an ADA upgrade to the bathrooms which are
located within the 1923 Fireman’s Park Arts and Crafts Rest Haven, along with other required updates. I propose a
fixed-fee of $3,145.00 (three-thousand one hundred and forty-five dollars).
Please find the following detailed proposal for your consideration.
Description of Project:
It is understood that the project is as follows:
Developing “As-Built” drawings for base drawings of Fireman’s Park Arts and Crafts Rest Haven:
Creating Construction Documents (Drawings and Specifications) for ADA updates, to both interior and exterior – of
the 1923 Fireman’s Park Arts and Crafts Rest Haven.
Interior:
Updates to existing toilet rooms:
o Re-design/re-configure toilet room/s layout, to facilitate both ADA (Americans with Disability
Act) compliance, and functionality for “family-assisted” stalls;
o Upgrade plumbing fixtures to be ADA compliant;
o Employ long-lived toilet room partitions, which require low levels of maintenance (i.e., stainless-
steel materiality);
o Remove, salvage, and safely store existing hand dryers for reinstallation;
Design for existing windows (of unknown materials), which are covered, to be exposed; consider methods
for keeping glass free from vandalism;
Design considerations for new lighting fixtures (in the style of “Arts and Crafts”) to be implemented in
keeping with the original design of the building, and considering methods to keep them free of vandalism;
Design considerations for “Auto-on/Auto-off” lighting fixtures;
Re-design/re-configure existing storage room;
Design considerations for new electrical outlet locations;
Design considerations for ADA (electric powered doors);
Prepare construction documents outlining possible methods to repair:
o Great Room Ceiling;
As unknowns occur, there may be miscellaneous items that need to be addressed – and the nature of
“unknown”, they are not able to be precisely planned/designed for (i.e. any replacement door that is in
poor shape, or wood structure under soffit areas, etc…)

Exterior:
Prepare construction documents outlining possible methods to:
o Cleaning and filling of exterior joints between concrete sidewalk and building and design
considerations for repairing and painting soffits.
