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.

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. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: None.

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.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Discussion/Consideration of timeline for the 2018 City Street Project – Special Assessment review and approval process 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.
