Because of the life expectancy of these items a General Obligation NOTE was used as the financing tool. Initial quotes for the dump trucks which were also outfitted with plows was $440,000. When the trucks were purchased the City was able to negotiate a lower cost for the purchase and package for the plows leaving $108,000 of unused NOTE proceeds. Action The City Council at the Ad Hoc Financial Policies meeting of April 25, 2018 reviewed the various options for the use of these funds remaining within the restrictions set by the bond resolution. The following items were identified as approved uses of these remaining funds with bids as approved by Council: Public Works Department – Utility Vehicle Public Works Department – Truck (Parks Use) City – Facility Study Other Funding Sources The City Council also recognized that the Public Works Department, as noted in the 2018 Capital Projects adopted budget, had a mower listed as well. It was determined that with the upcoming sale of excess Public Works equipment and vehicles the money from the sale could be used for the purchase of a mower and aid in the purchasing of the truck for Public Works, if necessary. Any sale proceeds over and above the amount needed to purchase the truck and mower would then be placed in an account for use by all based on needs approved by Council. The City Council also recognized the grant recently received by the Columbus Public Library, written by Library Director Cindy Fesemyer, which would help to fund the cost of the facility study totaling $25,000. May 1, 2018 Committee of the Whole Meeting Item #9 ORDINANCE NO. 741-18 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 102-269(b)(1)a. CONCERNING TOTAL PHOSPHORUS AND TO REPEAL AND RECREATE SECTION 102-328 REGARDING AMOUNT OF USER CHARGES WHEREAS, the City of Columbus Sewer Utility in striving to meet the stringent requirements placed on it by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency has been proactive in reviewing its levels of phosphorus being treated at the wastewater treatment plant, and WHEREAS, in 2015 the phosphorus level was reduced to begin the process of bringing the overall phosphorus treated by the wastewater plant into an acceptable level and to encourage users to review processes and procedures to eliminate or reduce the phosphorus being released into the system, and WHEREAS, the Common Council has reviewed the current levels for high strength phosphorus with the City Engineer and recognizes that the City will need to take another step in encouraging the reduction of the level of phosphorus being treated at the wastewater treatment plant. WHEREAS, the City of Columbus Sewer Utility last revised its rates in the years 2007 and 2008, since that time the user rates contained within this ordinance have remained unchanged, and WHEREAS, the City of Columbus Sewer Utility recently completed a sewer rate study which indicated that the current rates are insufficient to sustain the Utility’s operating and debt service requirements; and WHEREAS, on February 20, 2018, the Common Council adopted Ordinance 738-18. However, it has now been determined that a typographical error was present in the original Ordinance and the Common Council now desires to amend the prior Ordinance to correct the error. NOW, THEREFORE the City of Columbus Common Council does hereby ordain as follows: 1. Section 102-269(b)(1)a. is amended to now read as follows: (1) Total Phosphorus a. If the Total phosphorus strength of the wastewater is between 7 and 15 mg/L, require payment to cover the added costs of handling and treating the waste not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges. 2. All other provisions of Section 102-269(b) remain in full force and effect unless modified by the terms of this Ordinance. 3. Sec. 102-328. - Amount of user charges is repealed and recreated to now read as follows: (a) User charge system. The user charge system for the city shall be in accordance with standard methods and procedures. A copy of the current report is on file in the office of the city clerk and available for inspection during normal business hours, and adopted in this section by reference. (b) Minimum monthly charge (fixed charge). The minimum monthly charge for all users shall be based upon the size of their water meters in accordance with the following table. Deduct meters are not included in the fixed charge. 2018 Meter Monthly Size Charge 5/8 ″ $15.70 ¾″ 15.70 1″ 21.00 1¼″ 25.00 1½″ 29.00 2″ 39.00 3″ 62.00 4″ 94.00 6″ 177.00 2 G:\Administration\City Council\ORDINANCES\ORD 2018\Ord 741-18 Phosphorus.docx Master Units $7.25/unit (c) Variable monthly billing (volume charge). The volume charge for users discharging wastewater having normal strength shall be based on the volume of water discharged to the sewerage system. The volume charge for users discharging wastewater having normal strength shall be as follows: Volume per 100 cubic feet (ccf) March 1, 2018 - $5.65 per ccf (d) User charge for high-strength wastewater. The user charge for high-strength wastewater shall be calculated as follows: User Charge = (A) + (B) + (C) + (D) + (E) where: (A) = (Total flow × flow charge/1,000 gal.) (B) = (Total BOD loading greater than domestic strength × BOD charge/lb.) (C) = (Total SS loading greater than domestic strength × SS charge/lb.)

Resolution Authorizing Implementing Municipal-wide Energy Management Policy Dear City Council, On December 18, 2007, the City of Columbus approved Resolution No. 30-07, a Resolution Approving Implementation of Community Wide Energy Program, attached. This resolution set an electric energy reduction goal of 10% and was entered into as part of a broader Green Cities initiative. Setting this resolution made Columbus eligible for bonus energy efficiency grants through WPPI Energy. Attached, please find a summary of progress towards, and beyond, the electric goal of a 10% reduction. The city of Columbus exceeded their goal by 2011. The WPPI Energy Utility and Municipal Buildings Program (UMBP) offers cash incentives for WPPI Energy communities to install energy efficient technologies. In order to qualify for funding Member communities must set energy goals. The following language was pulled from the UMBP Official Service Document, which outlines the rules associated with the program: To be eligible for enhanced efficiency improvement incentives, local governments (e.g., city council, village board or utility commission) will be expected to view energy efficiency as an important issue for their community, and commit to reducing energy waste in municipally-owned facilities with a formal resolution or proclamation. At a minimum, members must set a measurable performance goal for electrical energy reductions (e.g., 10% reduction in energy use in municipal facilities within three years) as part of the commitment. In 2018, WPPI Energy required that all members reevaluate their energy reduction goals in order to continue to qualify for UMBP funding. That is why we are bringing this resolution to you at this time. At the March 16, 2018 Special Commission Meeting the Columbus Water & Light Utility Commission approved Resolution No. 2018-001, a Resolution Authorizing Implementing Municipal-wide Energy Management Policy, attached. This resolution sets an electric energy reduction goal of 5% between 2017 and 2025. The Columbus Water & Light Utility Commission brings this resolution for approval by the Council at this time as it will make Columbus eligible for additional funding for energy efficiency projects. The City of Columbus is currently investigating LED lighting upgrades at the City Hall; an LED lighting upgrade at City Hall would be eligible for this funding. Other city facilities may be candidates for UMBP funding as well. Approving this resolution would be the first step in qualifying for said funding. Therefore, the Utility Commission and I recommend approving this resolution. Thank you, Anna Stieve, P.E.

Name: Title: Attest: Name: Title: 2018 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __ May 1, 2018______ Council Meeting date: _____May 15, 2018 ______ ITEM: _ Hall Road Construction Review Services DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: Attached for your review is a cover document for consultants interested in acting as construction inspectors for the upcoming Hall Road Construction in Columbus. This item is a continuation of a desire expressed by the City Council to allow for the competitive bidding on the construction review side of a road project, as opposed to the design side. This process allows, in short, for two engineering companies to be involved in a road construction project – one to plan and design and one to see the construction as it takes place to ensure it is built per plan. Also attached to this process is a contract, which will be necessary with the consultant that is the ‘winning’ bidder. The contract lays out the project and its expectations to the consultant. I have asked Atty. Johnson to review the draft contract and provide feedback, which he is in the process of doing. The request for proposal cover document and the contract takes from other Wisconsin municipalities who follow this concept. The Hall Road project is in final design by City Engineer Jason Lietha and preparations are taking place for bidding it out. One of the bigger hurdles for proceeding was awaiting the decision by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation on the TEA Grant, of which we were recently awarded. At this time, it is expected that the construction of Hall Road will take place mid-summer this year.

AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __May 1, 2018 ______ Council Meeting date: _____TBD______ ITEM: _ Discussion of Proposed Ordinance Regarding New Liquor License Type DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: In an attempt to foresee the growth and development of the City of Columbus, it has been brought up that the liquor license quota could potentially cause businesses to seek other municipalities if a license is not available/clearly defined in the Code. Wis. Stats. 125.51(4) provides for the Quotas on Class B Licenses and Wis. Stats. 125.51(4)(v) allows for municipalities to issue a license for “A full-service restaurant that has an interior, permanent seating capacity of 300 or more persons” as well as two other business types with requirements (the statutes are attached). The City received direction from the Department of Revenue that stated no Ordinance is required to issue these “above quota” licenses however, we would ask for this license type to be included in the City’s Code and the “interior, permanent seating” portion to be defined. This item was discussed at the April 10, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting. City Attorney Johnson has drafted an Ordinance for your review and consideration. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Discuss and review proposed Ordinance regarding new liquor license type for the City with definition of what qualifies as “interior, permanent seating.” 2018 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __ May 1, 2018 ______ Council Meeting date: _____TBD ______ ITEM: _ The Class B Liquor/Beer Quota with New Business Interest in Columbus DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: There have been recent communications between the City and Capitol Real Estate Management, the company is that is the owner of the formal Cardinal Ale House & Bowl on Industrial Drive. Recent news reports have shared that there are plans for Sprecher, who is connected to Capitol Real Estate Management, to re-open the restaurant and bowling alley using the name Fastlanes. Representatives from Capitol Real Estate Management have recently inquired about obtaining a liquor license for this establishment. Currently all of the City’s “Class B” (liquor & fermented malt beverage) licenses as determined by state statutes have been granted. Based upon our population, the City of Columbus is allowed to approve 13 of these licenses, along with 2 reserve licenses, which come with a $10,000 fee attached to them. Four of the 13 establishments that hold these licenses are currently not in operation. They include: La Tolteca, Chef’s Corner, the former VFW, and Cercis Brewing Company. Given this information, in order to grant Capitol Real Estate Management a license, one of two things would need to happen. They could agree to pay the reserve license, at that cost of $10,000, or be granted a license from one of those currently not in use. Tied to latter option is to review the status of the licenses that are currently not meeting the requirements as a “Class B” license holder, and potentially prevent efforts to renew. The non-renewal question would require the City to follow a process to non-renew licenses from those establishments who are not currently in business. Atty. Paul Johnson can explain in more detail at the meeting on Tuesday, but essentially, the City would need to send notice to the entities of a non-renewal and a hearing date would be set. At the hearing, the affected proprietors would have the opportunity to appeal to the Council the reasons their license should be retained. At that point, the Council could then render a decision. The affected proprietors would then be able to appeal to circuit court if they desired to do so. Capitol Real Estate Management has indicated they are working towards a June opening for their Fastlanes restaurant, but it is dependent upon the acquisition of a “Class B” liquor license. If a decision to work toward a non-renewal process on Tuesday is made, it the process could be completed within this timeframe. Below is the text from City Code Section 6-44(e) which explains the requirements and responsibilities of the license holders: Minimum license use requirement. A licensee shall be open for business with adequate stock and equipment for at least 125 days during the term of the license. In the event that a licensee is not open for business for at least 125 days during the license period, or the premises is closed or not operating for any period of 90 consecutive days or more, the common council may commence an action for suspension, revocation or non-renewal of the licensee's license pursuant to Wis. Stats. § 125.12. In deciding to suspend, revoke or non-renew the license, the common council may consider such factors as: Damage to the premises rendering it temporarily unfit for safe operation under the license; closing for reasonable periods to alter, repair, remodel or redecorate the premises; seasonal operation of the licensed business; acquisition of licenses by commercial lenders incidental to a foreclosure proceeding or deed in lieu of foreclosure; or any other closing for periods beyond that permitted by this section due to unusual circumstances not under the control of the licensee. I have also attached the statutory documentation related to this process for your review. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: State Statute Ch. 125.12 ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider Class B License quota and process 2018 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: __May 1, 2018 ______ Council Meeting date: _____May 15, 2018_____ ITEM: _ Items #14 and #15 Committee of the Whole DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: Here are some notes for the final two items on the COW: #14: Council Listening Session Typically, the City Council has held 1-2 Listening Sessions in the community each year at rotating locations (Library, Fire Station, and Pavilion). There was a suggestion at the last Council meeting to schedule another session soon, as the last one was on June 14, 2017 at the Columbus Fire Station. Hopefully we can settle on a date and location at the meeting on Tuesday night. #15: May 15th Council meeting The Columbus Middle School Spring Music Concert is scheduled for 6 pm on Tuesday, May 15th. With children who participate in the music program, Mayor Thom and I would respectfully ask if the meeting could be moved off of that date to another day within that week. From a practical standpoint, moving the meeting to Wednesday May 16th, would be better because it better conforms to the noticing requirements of the recently submitted chicken permits, per City Clerk Megan Moen. However, like the above item, hopefully a resolution can be made here as well. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: None. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider a date for a Council Listening Session and an alternate date for the May 15th City Council meeting.
