ITEMS OF NOTE FOR FEBRUARY
Firefighter Devin Carroll successfully completed his one year probationary period on
February 21.
A trailer for technical rescue equipment was purchased and put in service. It’s a 2012, 16-foot
enclosed trailer that was purchased from the Holmen Fire Dept. It now holds equipment for
water/ice rescue, grain bin rescue, confined space rescue and other equipment. Prior to this, the
equipment was stored in the station wherever we could find space. In the event of a call, we
would have to find space on a truck and take the time to load it. Our inflatable boat is now
kept inflated in the trailer which is a huge time saver as opposed to inflating it on scene. The
only drawback is that the trailer has to be stored at the Old Countryside Ford until a new station
can house it. The purchase was completely made with miscellaneous donations from over the
past several years.

2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __March 20, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______
ITEM: _ Construction Services for Public Infrastructure Projects
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Following discussion at the March 6th Committee of the Whole meeting, this item returns
to the agenda for some follow up. Mayor Thom, Alderman Kenney and I had a
productive discussion regarding how the City should approach engineering construction
inspection for our public infrastructure projects now and going forward.
Accounting for some of the timing challenges we are facing with the upcoming 2018 City
Street project, we would like to discuss the optimal approach of having construction
inspection remain under the purview of Ruekert-Mielke. Matt made a very good point
that a potential construction inspector would be much more useful if they were involved
in the planning of the project earlier in its development. However, as pointed out in the
memo from the March 6th COW, taking actions to ensure that we are receiving the most
reasonable prices for the best service is what we should always try to do. To have a
separate firm review construction is a departure from what has been done in recent
years and making this change midstream with coming City project is too great a hurdle.
A better test of this new approach is to review the RFQ document shared in the last
packet to ensure it covers all issues and concerns, and look at utilizing it for the coming
TID #4 Hall Road project. The Hall Road project brings a lower impact to property
owners and is in more of the beginning stages of development. It will also provide the
City with a good exercise to test what other consultants could bring to the table in public
infrastructure projects.
We hope to have a more productive discussion on this Tuesday night incorporating
some of the thoughts that came out of the meeting I mentioned above.

2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __March 20, 2018______
Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______
ITEM: _ Special Assessments – 2018 City Street Project
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
This item is on the Committee of the Whole to present the status and procedural plan for the Special
Assessments for the 2018 Street Project. Previously, the City Council authorized the City Engineer to
prepare a preliminary report of assessment, and that report is complete. In working with City Clerk
Moen and City Attorney Johnson, I would like to outline the timeline of events for the process on this
issue.
The Clerk is responsible for preparing a notice - stating the nature of the proposed work, the boundary
lines of the assessment district, sharing the time and place for which the report can be inspected and
the place and time of the public hearing.
- This notice shall be published as a Class 1 notice, meaning it must be done at least 10
days from the public hearing
- The notice should be mailed to all interested persons within that 10 day period. The
‘interested persons’ are all those affected private owners and occupants of the properties
within the district.
The public hearing then takes place – and the City Council can choose to take action at that meeting
or address the report at any subsequent meeting.
The information above lends me to two questions for the Council.
1) What date should the public hearing on the Preliminary Report of Assessment take place?
- In reviewing the timing of the Council meetings, the spring election and the timing of the
project itself, my suggestion would be to hold the public hearing on Monday, April 9th. The
main reason for this date is that it would be a meeting that would include all current
members of the Council. Any newly elected Alderpersons will not take office until the 2nd
meeting in April, or April 17th.
- Also, if the Council so chooses, an agenda item could be added to the April 10th Council
meeting to address the report if desired, a meeting that would also include the current
members of the Council.
- Note – the meeting does not have to take place on April 9th, nor does it have to take place
before the new Council is seated, but my sense is that this may be a valuable element to
consider.
2) Materials provided to the property owners. During the 2016 City Project, each affected property
owner was mailed a full Preliminary Report. This is not required as part of the notice. I am hoping for
some clear consensus as to whether we should repeat this process with the affected property owners
in the 2018 project, or encourage inspection of the report as stated in the notice.

2018 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __ March 20, 2018 ______
Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______
ITEM: _ Hydro Street Collateral
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Some on the Council will remember that the City had seized a number of items from the
former Hydro Street Brewing Company as collateral from the defaulted revolving loan
fund (RLF) back in fall of 2015.
The remaining items were initially housed in a building in Columbus Hillside Cemetery.
When the City purchased the Old Countryside early last year, the materials were
transported to that building because there was more space and clearly it would be more
conducive to plans for dispensing of the items through either an auction or rummage
sale or some sort. These options were in the plans for this year – as staff was
reviewing an option to hold a rummage sale that would coincide with the Community
Garage Sale weekend in early May.
Those plans changed when GD Roberts approached the city to lease the building –
making the movement of the collateral items more of a premium. Currently, the items
are located in a spot within the building that Nathan Roberts is not planning to utilize this
year so timing isn’t as vital, but it is still important for the city to finalize plans for
dispersion.
In light of this greater sense of urgency, I asked Director of Planning & Development
Matt Schreiber to investigate the costs of holding an auction for the items vs. the
rummage sale. My thought was that an auction would likely cost the City a little, it could
be done more efficiently than a rummage sale, which could very well leave us with
materials to eventually dispose of.
In speaking with a local auctioneer Don Bleich, Matt found that the items could be
auctioned off at no cost to the city, as a community-service type gesture. Mr. Bleich also
had confidence that he could assist the city in selling all of the available items.
While this seems to be an optimal option for the city, I don’t want to discount the
possibility of a rummage sale yet if there are strong feelings on the Council to take that
approach.
The bottom line for this agenda item is for the Council to be made aware of the status of
this issue and derive consensus on a method to move forward.
