Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Public Hearing – Village North Covenant Updates Moved by Trustee, seconded by Trustee Elrick to enter Public Hearing at 6:03 p.m. Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Director Kittel stated notice was placed in the paper, a letter was sent to all residents with a lot in the subdivision, no feedback, complaints, or concerns were received in regard to detached garages and the proposed changes. Trustee Van Deurzen asked if everyone was aware of the option to build a detached garage in the subdivision. Director Kittel stated everyone received the letter and is aware.  Moved by Trustee Elrick, seconded by Trustee Van Deurzen to Exit Public Hearing at 6:34 p.m. Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Village North Covenant Trustee Elrick asked for clarification on the size, 500 or 600 sq ft. Director Kittel stated it is up to the board to decide, or no size restriction should they choose. A motion was made by Trustee Elrick, seconded by Trustee Van Deurzen to change the Village North Covenants to allow for detached garages not to exceed 600 square feet. Trustee Peerenboom stated he would like the line removed about notifying adjacent property owners, this is not required any other place in the village and doesn’t see why the additional stipulation is included. Trustee Van Deurzen agreed with Trustee Peerenboom and wanted clarification on if permission is required from adjacent property owners. Trustee Peerenboom would like to follow Village procedure on this issue and not require Community Development Director approval or notification of adjacent property owners. Director Kittel did not see any concerns about the changes and simplifying the language. Moved by Trustee Elrick, seconded by Trustee Van Deurzen to change the Village North Covenants to allow for detached garages not to exceed 600 square feet, and remove the sentence, “Detached garages are only allowed by permission of the Community Development Director and notification of adjacent property owners in in the subdivision.” Ayes 6, Nays 0 – Motion Carried Discussion/Action – Fire Department Rescue Squad Purchase Administrator Bernhoft presented a request to proceed with the purchase of a new rescue squad truck from Pierce Manufacturing. The Fire department had reached out to three qualified manufacturing companies for quotations. Pierce was the only responder with a price of $1,234,000 and provided a purchasing agreement. Staff and legal have reviewed the agreement included in the packet. Time to complete is 43 – 46 months. Fire Chief Nechodom is currently employed with Pierce Manufacturing but holds no direct benefit from this purchase. Trustee Van Deurzen asked when the agreement needs to be signed to get the price. Administrator Bernhoft stated January 1, 2024. Van Deurzen asked for a representative from Pierce or Chief to discuss what is included in this purchase and why it costs this much money. He does not feel comfortable voting on this without knowing what is included on the truck. Administrator Bernhoft stated Fire Chief is sick and unavailable to attend this meeting. He stated the board is the voting body on this, if they need more information that is fine, however we are running on a very tight deadline. If the direction of the board is to gather more information he can reach out to the Fire Chief and Pierce to get a representative and hold a special meeting. President Vanden Berg stated he would like more information, perhaps a virtual tour of the vehicle. Trustee Peerenboom stated he would like to hear from someone on the fire department about the purchase. President Vanden Berg stated he would like to see if Pierce can extend the deadline to January 31st to allow time for discussion. Administrator Bernhoft stated he would reach out to Pierce to see if they can accommodate a later date and schedule a Special Board meeting. Trustee Elrick asked why the Pierce proposal was received on November 7th yet no other manufacturers were contacted until December. Administrator Bernhoft stated that is correct, the fire department was working directly with Pierce on this, they worked with staff who reminded them to reach out to get additional quotes. Elrick asked how long Pierce had to get the proposal together, the other companies had less than three weeks. Bernhoft stated the process started in 2023, allowing Pierce to work on the spec for a year. Elrick stated he is in agreement; the board needs to wait and is troubled with the scenario. Trustee Van Lankvelt stated in talks with the Chief the other manufacturers were not interested in bidding. Elrick would like to see documentation on their intent to bid. Trustee Elric stated the timeline of spec requests was unrealistic, emailed on Dec 4 with a deadline of December 13. President Vanden Berg agreed with the statements and asked Administrator Bernhoft to reach out to Pierce and provide feedback to the board. Trustee Peerenboom would also like clarification on whether the correct procedure on going out for bids was followed, how one company was giving such an advantage on this project. Was competitive bidding process followed, who was invited to bid and when. Trustee Elrick wanted to know where in writing this was only good until the First of the year. Administrator Bernhoft said he would find that information in an email and would share it with Trustees. No action taken. Discussion/Action – State Municipal Financial Agreement for State Let Highway 41 Project Administrator Bernhoft presented a financial agreement between the state and municipalities for the Rosehill Rd overpass reconstruction that will be occurring during the I41 project. The Village would be responsible for $23. This agreement is a formality. More agreements may come as the project progresses. He then asked Finance Director Remiker-DeWall for her input and additional comments. Remiker-DeWall stated she did a quick review, a few points and concerns that stood out include: The top 3 items include a 100% from municipal funds (highlighted in packet) which can be subject to federal and state grants, any amount over would be subject to local funding and could be deducted from transportation needs, she wanted board to be aware of this inclusion. Under item 8: The agreement be revised as necessary as the project progresses, all costs are approximate and subject to audit, under comments some issues may need to be amended as some issues have not been fully evaluated or resolved. She reminded the board we ran into issues with Mill St bridge where grants were capped and took years to resolve. Director Taylor stated she is correct and he is in agreement. At this point we owe $23 and cannot predict what the future will bring. At this point there is no utility relocation at any of the overpasses. We haven’t seen the plans for the straight-line road, there are 3 situations where we have roads that go under 41. He is confident the board can approve it at this point in time. Trustee Van Deurzen asked what would happen if we were to disagree with the agreement and not sign it. Director Taylor stated if no agreement is reached, we send it back to state and additional discussion will take place, he believes it is negotiable but cannot speak for the state. He recommends the board signs and approves it. Trustee Van Deurzen raised concerns about surprises and additional costs the way it is currently written. Director Taylor stated other communities were in agreement with this and would be signing off as well. Trustee Elrick stated he is not comfortable with the agreement as written and would like the 100% from the first three lines changed to 0% and then he is favorable. Trustee Van Deurzen stated he agreed but wonders if the state would agree with this and wants to know where we stand on this. Director Taylor stated discussions with the state would have to take place if changes are made to the document, there is a deadline for submission. President Vanden Berg stated he would like to find out what the numbers actually mean before signing the document. Board members were in agreement and directed Taylor to inquire more about the agreement. Department and Officer Reports Department Heads and Officers provided progress reports to the Board.

Evergreen Drive Reconstruc on Department of Public Works Engineering Division 108 W. Main Street – (920) 423-3865 The Village of Li le Chute Department of Public Works-Engineering Division is proposing to reconstruct W. Evergreen Drive between Holland Road and Vandenbroek Road, comple ng a mul -year road reconstruc on and urbaniza on program along W. Evergreen Drive. Project Need W. Evergreen Drive between Holland Road and Vandenbroek Road is the final remaining segment of W. Evergreen Drive, that remains a rural sec on u lizing ditches. The roadway has experienced an increased amount of truck traffic over the past few years, which has resulted in significant cracking throughout the asphalt pavement. The proposed reconstruc on project will widen W. Evergreen Drive to an urban concrete roadway with curb and gu er, matching the previous two phases of road urbaniza on between Freedom Road (CTH “N”) and French Road. Pavement The proposed concrete roadway will include integral concrete curb and gu er with two 12-foot travel lanes and one center turn lane, which will allow le turning vehicles to pull out of the travel lane in both direc ons. The total street width will be 38-feet from face of curb to face of curb. The project will also include the construc on of a paved 8-foot wide shared use trail which will connect to the exis ng trail system east of Vandenbroek Road and will eventually connect to the trail system on Cherryvale Avenue. The trail is proposed on the north side of W. Evergreen Drive, offset approximately 5-feet from the back of curb at most loca ons. Sidewalks will not be constructed as part of the project, however, the terrace behind the back of the curb on the south side of W. Evergreen Drive will be graded to allow for construc on of sidewalk at a future date, if needed. Sewer and Water Construc on Sanitary Sewer The exis ng sanitary sewer main is in good condi on and will remain in place. The project will involve minor rehabilita on/repair work to the sanitary main, as needed, and will include adjustments to the manhole structures to match the new roadway eleva ons. The majority of the sanitary sewer laterals are also in good condi on and will remain. A few exis ng sanitary laterals with leaks will be repaired/replaced as part of this project for your use if/when you choose to connect to the sanitary sewer system. Storm Sewer The exis ng storm sewer main is undersized and will be either removed or abandoned as part of the project. New, larger storm sewer will be installed along the project length to help improve drainage in the area; storm sewer inlets and manholes will also be installed. Exis ng ditches will be removed where possible, however, there are a few loca ons where shallow ditches will remain. Field inlets will be installed to carry stormwater from the remaining shallow ditches into the new storm sewer main, where needed. At residen al proper es with basements, storm sewer laterals will be installed to the right of way line for use if/when you ever choose to connect to the Village storm sewer system. Watermain The exis ng watermain is in good condi on and will remain in place. Exis ng copper water services will be replaced with poly water service piping as part of the project. For the contractor to replace the water service, the service will temporarily be shut down during the replacement. You will be no fied of the date and mes of this shutdown in advance so you can plan your day accordingly. This temporary interrup on of service will only occur if you are connected to the municipal water system. Traffic Impacts W. Evergreen Drive will be closed to thru traffic during the length of the project but shall remain open to local traffic and emergency vehicles. Depending on construc on opera ons, traffic may be reduced to a single lane in one direc on at mes. Lawn Restora on As part of the project, you will likely have some areas of lawn that will be impacted. Lawn areas will be restored with topsoil, seed, fer lizer, and either hydro-mulch or erosion mat at the comple on of the project. Project Schedule It is an cipated that u lity construc on will begin in April or May with pavement construc on beginning in July. Final project comple on is an cipated in late September/early October. Construc on Updates Construc on updates and informa on will be posted on the Village of Li le Chute’s website under Road Projects. The website link is www.li lechutewi.org.

Evergreen Drive Reconstruction How much is this street improvement going to cost me? The proposed project will not involve any special assessments or costs to property owners. The Tax Incremental District, otherwise known as TID, will cover all costs associated with the project. How long will the project take? Depending on the project complexity and weather, it will take approximately 23 weeks to complete construction. There may be times during this period when you will be inconvenienced by construction equipment and delays. We realize this will be an interruption to your normal routine; the Village appreciates your patience and thanks you in advance for your cooperation. What are the typical hours of construction? Construction hours are from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. Some exceptions may occur due to weather conditions or approaching deadlines. There may exist the need for saw cutting of the newly paved concrete street after the typical construction hours. The timing of this sawing is critical to control/reduce random cracking from occurring. We apologize in advance for this inconvenience, but it is necessary to protect the integrity of the newly constructed concrete street. Do I need to do anything before construction starts? Please remove any irrigation, landscaping, walls, rocks, electric pet fences, and other items within the right of way you want preserved during construction. If items are not removed, the Contractor will remove and dispose of them. Also, contact the Village if those items reside on your property to minimize impacts. Finally, please try to attend the on-site, walk through public informational meeting to be held in the Spring of 2024. This meeting provides an opportunity to meet with the Village engineering staff to discuss the project and any questions that you may have specific to your property. The Village will provide notification of this meeting, which will occur prior to the start of construction. How will garbage and recycling pickup be affected? The Village will endeavor to maintain your regular garbage pick-up schedule. However, depending upon the stage of construction, pick-up may be delayed by a day or two. Unless notified otherwise, please leave your polycart out until it is emptied. If you experience problems or have questions during construction, please contact Public Works at 920-423-3865 (for garbage issues) and LRS at 920-759-0501 (for recycling concerns). What will happen to mail delivery and my mailbox? The contractor will be required to maintain mail service during construction. The contractor will also be responsible for the re-installation of any mailboxes that are removed during construction of the project. How will this affect emergency services? There should be no impact to emergency services. They are informed daily and instantly if changes in traffic occur. Construction equipment will provide access and move out of the way if emergency services are seeking access. What kind of access can I expect during construction? Driveway access will be temporarily restricted throughout the project. This will occur when work is being completed in front of or adjacent to the property. Driveway access will be restored at the end of each construction day, whenever possible. Driveway access will be restricted for an extended period during the construction of the street pavement, driveway approach and any sidewalk through the driveway. Advance notice will be provided to the residents prior to closure. Where should I park? Your new concrete street will be constructed in phases, typically one direction of travel at a time. Once the first lane is paved, the concrete requires seven (7) days of cure time before driving on. There are several properties on the project that have multiple access points. One access point will be maintained during paving of the street at these locations. Additionally, adjacent side streets are available for parking during construction. Please be advised that during normal construction hours vehicles are required to be located outside of the public right of way. What if I need special access to my property? Simply call the Village Public Works Office to discuss your accommodation needs during construction. The earlier the advance notice is made to the Village, the more likely the Village can help to accommodate these needs. If something comes up without notice, the Contractors will be informed to assist as much as possible to avoid harm to either person or property. If you have any special needs for accessibility or for any other considerations, please notify the Village as soon as possible. Will my utilities (water, sewer, phone, cable, etc.) be affected? The Village anticipates minor interruptions to your water on Evergreen Drive during replacement of the water services. You will be notified of the date and times of this shut-down in advance. No interruptions to your municipal sewer utilities are anticipated. However, it is typical for private utilities, such as gas, electric, or communications to schedule work either prior to or during the same time period. Will my driveway be replaced? For reconstruction projects, the driveway approach, including the sidewalk section through the driveway will be replaced, or constructed if you do not already have a concrete apron. This is the portion of your driveway that resides in the public right of way. Can the Contractor perform work on my private property? The Village does not get involved with coordinating construction on private property. You may contact the Contractor individually to contract work with them privately. Minimal transition work in lawn areas should be expected but if the property owner requests an easement one can be provided to document the extent of disturbance and the duration of the temporary construction easement. Because this work is considered to be a benefit to the property owner it is the Village’s policy that no cost for the easement will be provided to the property owner. If permission to access the property is denied the construction work will end at the property line and the property owner will be required to complete the transition work using the established design elevations at the Right of way. There are a few locations on this project where storm sewer field inlets are proposed to be installed outside of the right of way on private property, to help aid in drainage. The Village will be in contact with the property owners at these locations, to seek sewer easements for future maintenance needs of these field inlets. What happens if I witness something dangerous in the construction zone? Please inform the project inspector or the Village offices as soon as possible. Appropriate staff will attempt to remedy the situation. If it is an emergency, contact 911. Dust and Noise Street construction is a process during which you can expect to endure a fair amount of noise and dust. Methods are in place to help limit dust, but elimination of all construction related dust is not possible. We ask for your patience and understanding as we make the necessary improvements to your street. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. What should I expect after construction is completed? The Contractor will have top soiled, seeded, and mulched all areas disturbed by the construction. It is the property owner’s responsibility to water the seeded areas and cut the newly established grass. By providing the same lawn care in the right of way as the property owner’s lawn will ensure the grass seed will germinate and grow while preventing weeds from taking over the area. Please do not use weed killer during the first year of lawn development. Communication Updates The Village will use a variety of methods to communicate with you. Public meetings, the postal service, and/or doorstep memos and notices are standard. Once construction has started, bi-weekly updates will be posted on the Village website at www.littlechutewi.org. Of course, we are always available by telephone if you should have questions that arise during the project. In the event of an emergency, please dial 911.  VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE VILLAGE BOARD NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AMENDING SECTION 18-19 AND 18-58 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Public Hearing will be held on January 3, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. by the Village Board, for consideration of amending Sections 18-19 and 18-58 “Fire Prevention and Protection” of the Municipal Code, for various code reference updates and current staffing numbers.
