Murawski, P.E. REPORT DATE: December 19, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW / COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report ___________________ See additional comments attached ________________________ EXPLANATION: On December 13, 2018 bids were opened for the 2018 December Utility Projects, Contract Number 2018004. The utility extensions and water main relay are located on Bohm Drive (water relay) and Buchanan Road (sanitary and water extension). Six bids were received for construction ranging in cost from $705,471.15 to $879,464.26 for the base bid. The bid tabulation is attached for your review. The low bid was submitted by Donald Hietpas and Sons Inc. of Little Chute, WI in the amount of $705,471.15 as compared to the original Engineer’s Cost Opinion for construction of $901,710.50. This contractor appears to be a responsible bidder and qualified to perform the work. A cost breakdown for individual projects are as follows: Bohm Water Main Reconstruction …………………$ 363,590.95 Contractor $370,000.00 CIP Buchanan Sanitary Sewer and Water Extension….$343,880.20 Contractor $531,710.50 Opinion Alternate No. 1 from Donald Hietpas and Sons Inc. was provided to replace a number of defective concrete panels in Bohm Drive (500 S.Y.) for the amount of $31,399.45. These panels are adjacent to the water main relay work and it would be cost effective to replace them at the time of pavement restoration for the water main relay. This work would place the Bohm Water Main relay project over budget and would require adjustment to the 2019 CIP budget. Alternate No. 2 from Donald Hietpas and Sons Inc. is in the amount of -$7,083.80 for an alternate alignment on the west side of the right of way to extend the sanitary sewer in Buchanan Road. This is required because full access to the right of way is not attainable at this time. RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Village Engineer to award the contract for the 2018 December Utility Projects, Contract No. 2018004 to Donald Hietpas and Sons Inc. of Little Chute, WI. It is also recommended to Include Alternate No. 1 and Alternate No. 2 for the total amount of $729,786.80.  VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE RESOLUTION NO. 41, SERIES OF 2018 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE 2018 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND FOX VALLEY METRO POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL REVENUE BUDGET WHEREAS, the 2018 appropriations need to be adjusted for the General Fund Budget and Fox Valley Metro Police Department Special Revenue Fund Budget; and WHEREAS, increased appropriations in the amount of $110,000.00 are required in the Fox Valley Metro Police Department Budget in the vehicle replacement line, legal line, and overtime line, appropriations from the 2018 General Fund fund balance are required in the amount of $110,000.00. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Little Chute, Wisconsin, that: The budget adjustments as stated above are hereby budgeted and appropriated in 2018, as applicable. Introduced, approved and adopted: December 19, 2018 VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE By: Michael Vanden Berg, Village President Attest: Laurie Decker, Village Clerk  Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: 2018 Audit Engagement Letter – Kerber Rose Certified Public Accountants PREPARED BY: Valerie Clarizio, Finance Director REPORT DATE: December 12, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report ___________________________________ See additional comments attached __Additional Comments in Bold under Explanation___ EXPLANATION: Attached please find the 2018 Audit Engagement Letter proposed by Kerber Rose Certified Public Accountants. The fee proposed is $41,000, a 3.5% increase over the prior year. It is my understanding the Village has contracted with Kerber Rose for at least a decade. Administrator Comments: The village has a longstanding relationship with Kerber Rose, which is beneficial when it comes to audits, particularly when a new Finance Director is getting up to speed in their role. After discussion with the Finance Director, it would be our recommendation to approve the 2018 Audit Engagement Letter with Kerber Rose with the intention that we may look at an RFP process for the 2019 audit. This would ensure that from a cost perspective, we are in a good position. RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve the attached 2018 Audit Engagement Letter with Kerber Rose Certified Public Accountants.  Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion – Traffic Study on CTH OO and French Road PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: November 9, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: ( See Below ) EXPLANATION: In the spring of 2018, the Village was presented with proposals for numerous County projects, including CTH OO and French Road, from the Outagamie County Highway Department. Since that time, we incorporated a temporary light project for 2019 at CTH OO in our own CIP. In the recent weeks, the County Highway Department has contacted the Village with the idea of delaying the 2019 temporary light project and conducting a more thorough study as it relates to French Road, CTH OO and future impacts with regards to Interstate I-41. For your review, the updated proposal from the County Highway Department is attached for your review. A few things to consider when reviewing this information after a number of conversations with County Highway Staff: 1. The traffic study would be conducted by an outside firm. 2. This is a multijurisdictional road (Grand Chute, Appleton and Little Chute). 3. While the problems may be fairly obvious, a study will take into account all options, including traffic counts, future growth and the direction of the future growth and traffic into the results. Finally, the County Provided the following information regarding this study: “We have been monitoring traffic crashes and operations over the past several years at the intersection. Crashes at or near the intersection have gone up significantly over the past few years, compared to when I first started monitoring. A copy of my data is below. 2018 data that was available so far was 4 crashes, 1 level C. Crash injury severity increases C-B-A-K (fatality). The uptick in crashes corresponds with new housing around the JJ/French Rd area that have been built since 2014. We believe many people use French Road to get to/from 441 and 41 then using Ballard Road. Demand definitely exists for certain movements (mostly eastbound left turns to go north on French, and southbound right turns to go towards 441), and backups are common during AM and PM peak hours. The study will look at how traffic is using French road between STH 96 and CTH JJ, and what impacts are there to the transportation network if French Road were removed, if some movements were restricted at CTH OO (say only allow left in, right in/out for French), or if a signal (or other improvements) were installed at CTH OO to accommodate all traffic. Do note that some of these crashes reported are at the driveway to Cedar Creek off of CTH OO. Whatever we do at the intersection of French, we also need to plan what happens to the median opening for Cedar Creek. If OO/French is signalized or restricted in other ways, we should close the median opening, which then creates other issues. The study will also look at the feasibility of which municipality would best be able to service the Grand Chute parcels south of 41 north of CTH OO long term, which may lead to a transfer of the roadway to another municipality. Other items will also be reviewed, such as long term plans for landfill and dog exercise park as two examples.” Cross CTH St 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 OO French 3 2 2 1 3 1 7 3 7 RECOMMENDATION: Provided for information/presentation with no action at this time.

The existing intersection is experiencing safety, capacity and delay issues. A planning study of French Road is required to understand improvements at CTH OO. The proximity and uncertainty of the future of STH 441 may impact the intersection and roadway long term. The first step is a comprehensive study of French Road between STH 96 to CTH JJ, to help determine the future purpose and need for this roadway in relation to the entire transportation network. The cost share estimate shown is for the planning study only. Intersection design and construction to be determined at a later date.

Meister REPORT DATE: December 13, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: EXPLANATION: A review of the current fines for parking violations has revealed that our current fines are well below neighboring communities’ fine amounts and really don’t reflect a forfeiture amount that might serve as a deterrent for violators. I have attached a document that shows our current fine amounts and what I am proposing the new fine amounts to be. In addition to the initial fine amounts, there is a “past due” amount. Those have been changed as well Below are examples of surrounding communities and their current parking fines. Our proposed increases would be more in-line with these communities but still below their fine amounts. . Kaukauna: Average maximum fine amount $40.00. Handicap parking: $300.00 Grand Chute: Average Parking fine: $35.00. Handicap Parking: $300.00 Appleton: Average Parking fine amount $35.000. Handicap Parking: $300.00 RECOMMENDATION: Approve the proposed fine increases regarding parking violations under Sec. 26 of the Little Chute code of municipal ordinances.

Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: November 9, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: ( See Below ) EXPLANATION: Attached to this memo is a calendar drafted by Clerk Decker for the Village Board and committees/commissions. We ask that you approve the attached schedule with the exception that the Committee of the Whole meetings are only listed for an as needed basis. Essentially, unless a schedule issue is apparent, we will NOT be holding Committee of the Whole meetings in 2019 except in the case of budget workshops. Another item for your information as it relates to scheduling for 2019 is that various department heads will be selectively scheduled so that attendance at one meeting per month is required. A few department heads will not be impacted by this effort, as they are either required to attend each meeting (Clerk) or simply want to attend all meetings. As we finalize this effort, we may also look to make administrative changes to other areas of board meetings. A final update on attendance will be provided in the future. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and approve the 2019 meeting schedule.
