with many positive comments.
On August 24th, The final order was issued for the revised New Load Management Program tariff with an
effective date of 9/1/21.
On August 26th, Co-Sup’t Kaltenberg received an email from Tim Heinrich from MEUW stating: “We
Energies plans to place wireless attachments used for its AMI system gas operations on municipal poles
in your area. You are receiving this email because your utility is one of 29 municipal electric utilities that
has been identified for the effort. In 2019, We Energies’ sister company, Wisconsin Public Service
(WPS), undertook a similar effort, and ten MEUW members collaborated to share the cost of developing a
pole-attachment agreement template each of them used with WPS. In fact, because of the time saved by
using a common agreement, WPS agreed to pay a substantial amount of the legal costs to develop the
template. Based on the success of that effort, MEUW is interested in developing a similar template
municipal utilities can use with We Energies. We plan to engage Boardman and Clark to develop a new
standard pole-attachment agreement for this circumstance, building off of the 2019 WPS agreement. If all
of the affected parties collaborate, the anticipated cost will be less than $500 per utility.” Co-Sup’t
Hammer and Co-Sup’t Kaltenberg agreed to participate.
On September 2nd, Co-Sup’t Kaltenberg filed the final order points for our Water Department Authority to
Construct an Advanced Metering Infrastructure System for PSC Docket 130-CW-101. Co-Sup’t
Kaltenberg was informed by the PSC we have completed all the requirements and the reports have been
approved and the final order points have been closed.
On September 17th, Co-Sup’t Kaltenberg filed the second request for disbursement for private lead service
line financial assistance program for $62,235.00. Out of the 39 lateral replacements scheduled for this

Committee of the Whole Meeting date: ___November 2___________________
Council Meeting date: ______________________________
ITEM: ____Review and Consider BCPL loan to purchase Tower Drive Property
SUBMITTED BY: __Matt Schreiber ______________________________________
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
With final approval of the city’s offer for the Tower Drive property the next step will be
securing funding before closing. The Board of Commission of Public Lands (BCPL) loan
program provides flexible financing that will fit the timeline for the project. The current
rates for the BCPL loans are: 5 years or less 2.5%, 6 to 10 years 3.0%, 11 to 20 years
4.0%.
Staff explored a few scenarios to see what the annual payments and interest costs
might be. The table below shows costs associated with a 5, 10, 15 and 20 year term at
the current rates offered by the BCPL.
Scenarios Annual Payments Total Interest Total Cost of Loan
5 Year at 2.5 % $47,917.88 $14,589.38 $239,589.38
10 Year at 3.0% $26,071.40 $35,714.01 $260,714.01
15 Year at 4.0 % $19,971.57 $74,573.61 $299,573.61
20 Year at 4.0 % $16,361.47 $102,229.38 $327,229.38
Under the BCPL loan rules the first payment for the loan would not be made until March
2023, so this project would not impact that the 2022 budget that you are currently
evaluating. There is no prepayment penalty with the BCPL loans.
With approval of the BCPL loan council will have to adopt a resolution at the November
16th meeting

ITEM:_Storm Water Utility Referendum Question _
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
As mentioned throughout the process of evaluating the viability of a Storm Water Utility, one
of the most critical elements of this process is a referendum that authorizes the Utility to
collect fees for storm water management without receiving a corresponding levy penalty.
The City Council has flexibility in how the referendum question is worded to ensure the
question is as clear and concise as possible so voters clearly understand the question and
implications.
Staff have developed the following question for discussion:
“Shall the City of Columbus Storm Water Utility be permitted to charge customers of
the Storm Water Utility for maintenance and operation of storm water management
facilities and infrastructure without reducing the levy limit for fees collected by the
Storm Water Utility?”
It is anticipated this question would appear on the ballot for the general spring election to be
held on April 5, 2022.
Once the question has been determined, we can present the formal Resolution to the City
Council to consider final approval of the referendum.
