Appointment – 2024 Election Officials Moved by Trustee L. Van Lankvelt, seconded by Trustee Van Deurzen to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Adopt Resolution 22, Series 2023 a CSM for 311 & 315 W North Ave Director Kittel presented a CSM for 311 & 315 W North Ave. The CSM was approved back in 2019 but was not recorded properly with County and coming back for reapproval. The development occurred after the approval of the original CSM. The Plan Commission did re-review the CSM and recommends approval by the Village Board. Moved by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt, Seconded by Trustee Peerenboom to approve Resolution 22, Series 2023 a CSM for 311 & 315 W North Ave Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Terrace Tree Petition Director McDonald presented a follow-up to adopt updates on the Terrace Tree removal policy. Mr. Paul Cooney, 629 Jefferson was available for comment and questions. Staff recommend approving the residents request to remove the existing crabapple tree and replace tree at the cost of the property owner, if they choose to move forward with the request. Trustee Van Deurzen asked Director McDonald his opinion if the tree should stay or be removed. Director McDonald stated the tree is healthy and should stay per our policy. Trustee Van Deurzen stated he agrees the trees are messy and understands the homeowners request for removal, he is concerned about setting a precedent for allowing residents to remove trees. Director McDonald stated the trees on Jefferson would not be replaced by the Village on the terrace due to lack of space. The options are for the Village to remove the trees when they become unsafe/dead as defined by the forestry manual or to accept the petition and allow the homeowner to remove the tree at their cost. Mr. Cooney stated he is requesting the Village to remove the trees that are dangerous and difficult to keep clean and safe. He feels the trees are dangerous to residents walking on the sidewalk. Director McDonald stated the homeowner would be responsible for removal using Village approved contractor. Moved by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt, seconded by Trustee L. Van Lankvelt to accept the petition with understanding the Village will not pay for the removal of the trees and following guidelines set by the forestry manual. Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Statewide Services Claim Denial Administrator Bernhoft presented a claim received over a flat tire. Statewide Services, the Village insurance provider recommends denial of the claim. Mr. Bruce Jansen, 950 W Florida Ave, spoke of the issues he’s had with flat tires on Holland Rd. He feels there is a lot of debris on the road and the Village should take responsibility for the costs of flat tires and motorcycle wheel replacement. Mr. Jansen provided pictures of debris he found on Holland Rd. Attorney Claringbole stated he recommends following the recommendation from the insurance provider. He will investigate appeal rights for Mr. Jansen. Trustee Peerenboom stated he does not believe the Village is responsible for this and motioned to deny the request allowing Mr. Jansen to seek out the responsible party. Moved by Trustee Peerenboom, seconded by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt to deny the claim. Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Site Plan Skid Steer Director Kittel presented the Site Plan for Skid Steer, this was presented to the Plan Commission, which recommends approval to the Village Board pending review comments by staff. Staff are reviewing comments and recommend approval of the site plan, pending final review comments. Moved by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt, seconded by Van Deurzen to approve Skid Steer Site plan pending final review and comments by Village Staff. Ayes 6, Nays 0, Motion Carried Discussion – Lead Level Exceedance Steps Mr. Jerry Verstegen, MCO spoke on the steps being taken for lead level exceedance and requirements set by DNR. Sampling is done every 3 years, 30 samples from 30 homes with lead services are sampled by the homeowner. The 90th percentile test is used (4th highest out of 30 samples) to determine action levels. The 90th percentile result was 17 ppb, which is above the action level of 15 ppb. Five results came in above the action level, they were resampled and all five came back under the 15-ppb action level. The DNR will only remove one of the samples which came back at 780 ppb, a number previously unseen in the Village of Little Chute. The sample was taken by the homeowner in a basement sink that had not been used for up to a year. The testing triggered the requirements set by the DNR. Mr. Verstegen discussed follow-up actions and history of lead in the village. Public Education and consumer notifications will be a priority and following guidelines/deadlines set by DNR. 81% of the customers in the Village are NOT affected by this. Additional information and education on this can be found at: https://www.littlechutewi.org/529/Water-Utility Trustee Van Deurzen asked if the sample collectors had instructions on how to properly sample the water. Mr. Verstegen stated they were given written and oral instructions, but the sampling is up to the homeowner. The 780 sample was taken by the son of a homeowner, who did not read the instructions prior to sampling. The remaining action-level samples were taken by older homeowners who do not use very much water. Mr. Verstegen will provide updates to the board in the future and will update if any public funding becomes available for the upgrades to our system. Discussion/Action – Splash Pad Design and Engineering Director McDonald presented the final 3-D renderings for the Splash Pad. Staff and Park Planning Committee researched other Splash Pads and came up with the design. Staff is recommending approval of the design and engineering as presented. Trustee Van Deurzen asked about the pumps in use by the Splash Pad. Director McDonald Stated it is a flow-through circulation. A representative from Parkitecture and Planning, Blake Theisen, stated it is a water pressure driven facility, no pumps or filtration systems are required. The operation of the splash pad would have set hours determined by Parks Department and within daily limits of water consumption. The splash pad is on a motion sensor, only in operation when in use by participants. Trustee Van Lankvelt asked about supervision of the splash pad. Director McDonald stated no staff would be supervising the splash pad. Staff will be making daily maintenance checks to ensure it is operational. The water is not recirculated as that would require choline and supervision. President Vanden Berg asked about costs associated with this plan. Director McDonald stated this was all within the CIP that has already been approved and established as well as the $750,000 for the construction of the splash pad. If approved Parkitecture and staff will take the rendered package and develop engineering plans. They will get the bid package ready to go out for public bid, likely January or February with construction to start early spring of 2024. Hopefully, to open Summer of 2024, weather pending. Mr. Brian, of Maplewood Drive, stated several residents in the area are concerned, or have no knowledge of the splash pad being built. He is concerned about the pavilion use and how renters will still be able to utilize the pavilions they have rented out for parties with splash pad traffic. He raised additional concerns about the snow removal on the existing sidewalk, will the splash pad interfere? He feels the public have not been informed or involved with the placement or design of the splash pad. Director McDonald responded with history of the splash pad location and site plan analysis that took place several years ago with a previous Parks Director. He also clarified the Pavilions are rented out, and only the pavilions are rented not the grass or surrounding area. The renter is required to take the rental form to the pavilion, signs are also posted when rented. A citizen raised concerns about a renter who arrives for an afternoon rental when splash pad users already have belongings on the pavilion tables, ect. It is unfair to put the pressure on renters to inform splash pad users to remove their belongings and getting upset. Director McDonald said staff will post permanent signage and communication around the shelter to ease concerns. Trustee Peterson stated concerns about starting a new water amenity when the pool still has issues and unknown costs. Moved by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt, seconded by Trustee Peerenboom approve the Splash Pad design and Engineering. Ayes 4, Nays 2 (L. Van Lankvelt, Peterson), Motion Carried Discussion/Action – MOUT Badger Books Clerk Decker presented a Memorandum of Understanding between the Village of Little Chute and Wisconsin Elections Commission pertaining to Badger Books. This has been reviewed by legal with staff recommending approval as presented. Moved by Trustee L. Van Lankvelt, seconded by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt to approve MOU for Badger Books as presented. Ayes 6, Nays 0, Motion Carried Discussion/Action – COTW Ordinance Amendment Administrator Bernhoft presented a staff recommendation to remove the Committee of the Whole from regularly scheduled committee calendar. Staff recommending updating and simplifying the ordinance and making the COTW more of an as needed meeting in the future. He recommends setting up a public hearing to amend the language in the ordinance. If an action item should arise a Special Board meeting would be called to ensure the public is aware. Moved by Trustee Peerenboom, Seconded by Trustee Van Deurzen approve staff proceed with public hearing to remove Committee of the Whole meetings from the calendar. Ayes 6, Nays 0, Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Hollanders Liquor License Clerk Decker presented a request for a Liquor License Change. Hollanders is changing ownership, this has been posted and all fees have been paid, change would be effective December 1st. Moved by Trustee B. Van Lankveldt, seconded by Trustee Peterson to approve Liquor License transfer. Ayes 6, Nays 0, Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Fire Department Donations Budget Adjustment Chief Nechodom presented a request to use a donation from sale of pizzas to purchase additional helmets. Moved by Trustee Peerenboom, seconded by Trustee L. Van Lankvelt to approve budget adjustment. Roll Call Vote Michael Vanden Berg Aye Larry Van Lankvelt Aye Brian Peterson Aye Don Van Deurzen Aye Bill Peerenboom Aye Brian Van Lankveldt Aye Ayes 6, Nays 0, Motion Carried Discussion/Action – LC North Estates Covenants Director Kittel brought back the discussion on amending the Little Chute North Estates covenants for a detached garage. Staff proposed changes to the covenants in section 5 regarding detached garages. Trustee Van Deurzen asked why the neighbors would be involved with the decision to allow a structure. Director Kittel stated the covenants are in place, they are additional restrictions on a subdivision and require adjacent property owners to be ok with the new structure. Trustee Peerenboom asked if this would allow for a detached garage and an accessory structure. Director Kittel stated this is correct but would still have to follow regulations. Trustee Peerenboom feels the max size of the structure is too big for the neighborhood and would like to see smaller garages in the area. Trustee Van Deurzen stated he does not like the requirement of neighbor approval. President Vanden Berg stated he would like the property owners to be notified of the changes and have a public hearing to discuss. The language on the covenants will be updated to remove “written approval from the adjacent property owner” with an appeal process to the Board. The maximum size will also be updated. No Action Taken Discussion/Action – Founders Estate Roadway Pavement Administrator Bernhoft presented an update on the pavement at Founders Estates. The developer is requesting to use asphalt pavement vs concrete. Trustee Peerenboom asked why consider asphalt pavement. Administrator Bernhoft stated this is a request coming from the developer. Mr. Phil Romenesko, with Romenesko Developments, stated concrete pavement is over 50% more than asphalt. Other developments in Little Chute have used asphalt and they are looking for the consideration and cost savings seen by other developers. The life expectancy of concrete is around 50 years and will last longer than asphalt. Trustee Peerenboom asked who is responsible for the reconstruction of the asphalt streets. The village is responsible for these costs. Mr. Romenesko stated asphalt was the original intention like recent developments in Little Chute. This is going to be a low traffic area. No Action Taken, will be discussed on future agenda Department and Officer Reports Department Heads and Officers provided progress reports to the Board.

The drone will be used to enhance our public safety mission by assisting with search & rescue efforts, suspect apprehension, crash and crime scene management and any other incidents or situations in which this resource may make us safer and more effective. .

Respectfully Submitted, Daniel M. Meister Chief of Police Item For Consideration For Board Review On: December 6, 2023 Prepared On: November 21, 2023 Agenda Item Topic: Radio purchase adjustment Prepared By: Fire Department Report: The Fire Department budgeted $30,000 to purchase radios through a regional grant administered by the City of Appleton. The original grant plan was for Little Chute to purchase 35 radios at a list price of $315,88.86 of which the Village local share was to be 5% or $15,794.04. The grant was awarded at a reduced amount of $132,378.48 reducing the number of radios to 18 but increasing the local share to 10% or $13,237.85. Motorola subsequently provided a discounted price for the 18 radios to $89,994.06. As per terms of the grant, Little Chute local share is 10% or $8,999.41. Due to the reduced price, the Fire Department requested another quote from Motorola to determine the cost of two additional radios. The quoted amount is $9,993.34. If the Village were to use the original $30,000 budgeted, the department can obtain four additional radios. Although this does not achieve the original request for 35 radios, it would bring our total to 22. Fiscal Impact: No additional budget dollars are needed. The Department is requesting The Village Board to use the remainder of the original budgeted match grant dollars to purchase four additional radios at the reduced Motorola quote. Recommendation/Board Action: The Fire Department is requesting approval to purchase four additional radios at the reduced quoted cost. The Fire Department had previously indicated it was not interested in purchasing additional radios at the higher list price but sees this as an opportunity to save the Village money in the long term.
