Below are the three policy options moving forward with basic data provided on each option: Existing Conditions: ● The library is funded at the municipal level based on the joint agreement formula currently at 62% Village of Little Chute and 38% Village of Kimberly ● At the discretion of the library board, services (collections, labor, programs) have been distributed to each location at approximately 50% per location ○ 2017 Books added Kimberly 3,160, Little Chute 2,918, Audio added Kimberly 131, Little Chute 128 Video added Kimberly 584, Little Chute 601 ○ 2018 Programs Kimberly 210, Little Chute 193 ○ February 2019 scheduled Part-Time Staff Kimberly $9,218 (572 hours), Little Chute $8,419 (495.5 hours) OPTION 1 - Modify Services to reflect current formula 62/38 ● Maintain mutual benefits of a joint library ● Based on the contribution level of each community, Library Board will determine services at each (hours, books, programming) ● Mutual agreement (library board, director, administrators) on how the county reimbursement is part of this equation must be completed OPTION 2 - Consolidate to a single facility ● More effective staffing, potentially lower utilities and phone costs. Each community would still have the former library facilities to maintain. ● Combined collection may reduce duplication. ● Lower costs of copier/printers. ● 2a - First step - Select a village for the single facility ○ Move to one existing facility within the first year ○ Keep one existing facility for 3-5 years to gather baseline data required to create a concept/design/layout of a new single facility ○ Begin a capital campaign project to build new facility/campus within 5 to 10 years ● 2b - Agreement on the single facility to include an exit strategy option within first 5 years for each communities benefit OPTION 3 - Discontinue the Joint Library ● Each community fund at desired level ● Discuss associated timing to dissolve and division of materials at a later date if this option is still viable Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Legion Field 3 Fence PREPARED BY: Adam Breest, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director REPORT DATE: March 15, 2019 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report: ______________________________ See additional comments attached: _________________________________ EXPLANATION: In 2015, the Little Chute Diamond Club began an effort to improve Legion Field 3 at Legion Park. Field 3 is the baseball field located on the south east side of Legion Park nearest to the school. In 2016, the Village and Diamond Club finished the infield, backstop fencing, and other site improvements. In 2018, the Village graded and seeded the outfield to provide a better playing surface and provide improved drainage. Now, in 2019 the Village plans to install the outfield fence to finish the playing area of Legion 3. The Diamond Club is planning on installing the dugout roofs for both of the dugouts on field 3 this year as well. The Village Engineering department has worked with the parks department to complete the design for the fence. The fence will be 8’ tall to match the other two fields at Legion. The fence will be partially located in a Village easement on the School Districts property. The school district has accepted our layout and design as attached. This layout was recommended by both the Park Planning Committee and the Plan Commission. The department currently has requests for proposal out to several fence companies. This projected was budgeted at $8000 within the 2019 budget.
