PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Minutes
September 1, 2022 Regular Meeting
The meeting was called to order by Chair Van Sickle at 5:00 pm on September 1, 2022 in Government Center Room
204.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Jenny Van Sickle, Ruth Ludwig, Nick Ledin, Tylor Elm
1. ROLL CALL
Members Present: Nick Ledin, Jenny Van Sickle, Ruth Ludwig, Tylor Elm (alt)
City Staff Present: Todd Janigo, Jodi Saylor, Lee Sandok-Baker, Thor Trone
Others Present: Shelley Nelson
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
2.1. Public Works Committee (Meeting held July 7, 2022)
MOTION by Ledin, second by Ludwig and carried to approve the minutes from the
July 7, 2022 meeting.
3. OLD BUSINESS
3.1. Snow removal discussion on a citation scale for repeat offenders
Trone entered the meeting at 5:02pm
This discussion was continued from previous meetings. Sandok-Baker, Code Enforcement
Officer suggested that rather than doing a sliding scale, where she would keep track of each
offense, and increasing either admin fee, she is proposing changing the snow abatement fee
from its current $75 back to $150. It was dropped to $75 when the City decided to become
more aggressive with enforcement. Every other abatement service has a $150 fee. Keeping
track of repeat offenses would be more difficult to track due to the different timelines which
can change if we get multiple back to back days of snow. She would also would utilize the
citations more frequently. Right now, she typically goes out and has the offending property
abated.
Director Janigo stated that there are many situations in which Sandok-Bakers has to use her
discretion and he would like her to maintain that ability. Examples would be if she knows
someone is out of town or has a valid reason for not clearing the snow, she can use her
judgement in those situations.
The Committee decided to revisit this discussion in January once we have had some snow
and see how it is going at that point.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to table this item until the January
meeting.

Lee Sandok-Bakers left the meeting at 5:53pm
3.2. Councilor Graskey: Review of traffic concerns at North 6th Street and Grand Avenue.
Lieutenant Trone was out in this area today and put another pedestrian sign there.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to table this.
3.3. Councilor Van Sickle: Review of traffic concerns at North 12th Street and Birch Avenue.
(Held from July 7th meeting)
Lieutenant Trone has been out in the area and spoke with a couple residents that thanked
him for the speed signs. Officers have also been in the whole stretch between Catlin and
beyond Poplar to make a presence. This stretch is used as a thoroughfare for people to avoid
Belknap. The average speed is around 5 miles in excess of the speed limit. Citywide 624
traffic stops from July 1 to today. They are trying to be in all of the spots that have been
problem areas.
Janigo on 12th, with the bridge and can of worms projects, there is increased traffic through
this area. It is likely a temporary issue until the projects are completed. Because it has
always been used and promoted as a bypass, which is why the stop sign at 12th and
Hammond was added. A long term traffic calming effort would likely be good in this area.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to table this item.
4. NEW BUSINESS
4.1. Request from Stack Brothers to purchase up to 2.0 credits from the City of Superior
Compensatory Wetland Mitigation Bank.
This mitigation bank and SAMP are there to encouragement development. Credits are used
at about 3 per year. The City will be receiving more credits as mitigation sites mature. Stack
will be required to pay for them which goes back in to SAMP program for other mitigation.
MOTION by Van Sickle, second by Ludwig and carried to approve the request from
Stack Brothers to purchase up to 2.0 credits from the City of Superior Compensatory
Wetland Mitigation Bank.
4.2. Airport Management Agreement Extension
Bill Amorde has been at the airport for around 45 years. The current terminal building is
named after him. His standard contract, going back to 2007/2008, is a $500 increase every
year. The City owns and operates the airport, however, some funding is received from the
Bureau of Aeronautics for projects and maintenance, there in income from land leases for
the hangars, and there is a small general fund budget that we try to offset with it. There is a
personal property tax on hangars/land leases and so it is fairly close to being a wash.
MOTION by Ledin, Ludwig to approve the Airport Management Agreement
Extension.

Auction Removals.
4.5. Surplus City Equipment
There are two Police Department (PD) vehicles and 3 Fire Department vehicles that the City
is look for approval to sell. These may bring over $5K or may not. Ordinance would require
approval from Public Works and the City Council. The two PD vehicles were from seizures.
The profit from that sale will go to the Library and school funds.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to approve the Surplus City
Equipment sales.
5. RECURRING BUSINESS
5.1. ESD Director’s Update
Received and filed
5.2. Director’s Update
5.2.1. JMF finishing up sidewalks soon. Next year, hope is to be digging more, spreading
out a little more and getting more into high priority corridors. There were some
priority gaps in the Active Transportation Plan and so we can move from the focus
being more efficiency to filling in some of these high priority gaps.
5.2.2. Pavement marking crew will be back in town in next few weeks. They will do
everything that was paved this year as well as anything paved last year that did not
get painted.
5.2.3. Looking for support when CIP is being worked on for the Toole Design Bus Shelter
Evaluation and Replacement Project. We are holding off on this one until there is
CIP funding.
5.2.4. Hammond design is at about 90% working on some utility conflicts. Major one is a
12” gas main running down middle that is not real deep. This is creating some
challenges as we are creating some new elevations and working on water flow.
5.2.5. Working with AECOM for new road diet on Tower Avenue from 21st to 28th
Streets. Hoping to have something approved by the end of the year.
5.2.6. Public Works now has a schematic for the Arch. Northland Consulting is putting

together preliminary estimate now. The City can then make the decision on moving
forward and get further into the design phase.
5.2.7. SOGL we are finishing up the earth work and putting gravel in parking lot. Asphalt
should be going in by end of last week. There has been a shortage of hydro mulch
which chokes out weeds.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 23, 2022 Council Agenda Date: Sept 20, 2022
TO: Mayor Jim Paine and the Common Council
FROM: Todd Janigo, Public Works Director
RE: Airport Management Agreement Extension
I am requesting that the Common Council approve the contract extension for Airport
Management at the Richard I. Bong Memorial Airport to Twin Ports Flying Service, Mr. Bill
Amorde, President.
1. Introduction
The City contracts for airport management services at the Richard I. Bong Memorial
Airport and sought proposals from interested parties in 2012 for a five year contract,
with a five-year option. An extension was granted in 2017 with an additional five-year
option as part of the agreement. Twin Port Flying Service was awarded the initial five-
year contract 2012, an extension in 2017 and we are seeking an additional extension.
2. Background
The Airport Manager is responsible for airport operations, including management of the
day to day operations at the airport, preparing monthly activity and financial reports,
enforcing applicable regulations of airport activities, coordinating public functions such
as fly-ins and meetings, and to be a liaison for the pilots, visitors and customers of the
airport. The manager is also responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the buildings,
plowing, security, and conducting daily inspections of the airport physical properties,
including runways, taxiways, lighting systems and navigational equipment.
Mr. Amorde has excelled as our airport manager for approximately 45 years and
possesses all of the qualifications and experience requested, and is well-known in the
aviation community. He has been an excellent ambassador for the City and is our “public
face” for the customers and the public. Mr. Amorde also assists with project planning
and coordination, and ensuring that we maintain compliance with regulations and FAA
requirements.
3. Fiscal Impact
The proposal includes increasing the current annual management fees by $500 annually,
equal to the increase during the original contract and first extension to offset the cost of
liability insurance that Mr. Amorde is required to maintain. Annual contract costs are as
follows:
2023 $43,138.00
2024 $43,638.00
2025 $44,138.00
2026 $44,638.00
2027 $45,138.00
In addition, the City will continue to pay for actual snow removal and lawn mowing
expenses, which were approximately $2,500.00 last year. Terms for the five-year
extension are a continuation of the previous contract.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, the Public Works Department and Airport Division are requesting that the
Common Council approve the contract extension for airport management at the Richard
I. Bong Memorial Airport to Mr. Bill Amorde.

City Staff Present: Todd Janigo, Chris Carlson, Jodi Saylor, Thor Trone, Lee Sandok-Baker
Others Present: Shelley Nelson, Dustin Mishler*
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
2.1. Public Works Committee (Meeting held June 2, 2022)
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to approve the minutes from the
June 2, 2022 Public Works Committee Meeting.
3. OLD BUSINESS
3.1. Councilor Ludwig: Discussion on how to keep our sidewalk crossings clear of snow in the
wintertime. (Held from June 2, 2022 meeting)
Lee Sandok-Baker, Code Enforcement, was present to walk through the process for making
sure sidewalks and corners are cleared. City Ordinance allows for enforcement after 48
hours and sometimes in that 48 hours, there is more snow which can be tricky. Generally,
when she receives a complaint she will go out and check not only where the complaint was
but the entire area around there. If an area is not cleared, she orders it to be abated which
means a contractor is sent to clear the area and the business or resident is then invoiced for
that as well as cited a $75 administrative fee. She focuses on the high pedestrian areas
around the City as well as the complaints as they come in. The City crews do clear certain
areas of sidewalks such as Belknap and Tower and Lee stays in touch with the Street
Superintendent to know where they crews are clearing as she responds to calls.
The committee discussed different ways to help educate residents and businesses on what
they are responsible to clear. They also discussed the fee schedule. Right now, those that
violate City ordinance are charged the abatement cost plus a $75 administrative fee. The
committee discussed instituting a sliding fee for repeat offenders. Lee will work on drafting
a proposed fee schedule and bring that back to the committee at a later date.
Lee Sandok-Baker left the meeting at 5:55pm.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to suspend the rules and hear
agenda items out of order.

3.2. Councilor Graskey: review of traffic concerns at North 6th Street and Grand Avenue. (Held
from June 2, 2022 meeting)
Ludwig left the meeting at 6:18 and returned at 6:21 at which time Tylor Elm acted as alternate
to vote.
MOTION by Ledin, second by Elm and carried to hold this item until the August Public
Works Committee meeting.
Officer Trone gave a report on information he collected in this area. When this concern came up,
he placed a pedestrian stanchion in the area on May 14th. That was stolen within three days and
not recovered. Speed signs were then place there May 17th – June 10th. Those signs showed there
are around 720 vehicles that go through the area per day. The greatest majority of those were
compliant or only slightly over the speed limit. All in all, they did not see as big a volume of
speeders as they expected to see. The Police Department will use the information they collected
to apply more enforcement to that exact areas where they did see speeding. Officer Trone plans
to put the pedestrian stanchion back up around the time Headstart starts again for the school year
and they will continue to monitor the traffic through the area.
4. NEW BUSINESS
4.1. Councilor Van Sickle: North 12th Street and Birch Avenue traffic concern (Kayla
Dietzmann)
Councilor Van Sickle requested that this item be held until the next meeting as Kayla
Dietzmann was not able to attend the meeting. Director Janigo said they did find a section in
this area where there was no sidewalk. He has already contacted Superior, Water, Light and
Power about relocating a power pole so that during the 2023 sidewalk paving this missing
area can be paved.
MOTION by Ledin, second by Ludwig and carried to hold this item until the August
Public Works Committee meeting.
4.2. Councilor Elm: Ogden Trail Proposal from Dustin Mishler (3065 South Cty Rd E, South
Range, WI) (after 3.1)
4.2.1. ATV Referendum Results (bottom of second page on attached)
Dustin Mishler is a resident of South Range with a business he recently moved to
Superior. His new location is 1226 Ogden Avenue. He is requesting that the section of
Ogden Avenue from Winter Street to Belknap Street be made an approved ATV/UTV
Route. He believes this would make it more convenient for his customers to get their
vehicles to his shop by riding instead of having to trailer them. He did speak with the
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE –7/7/22 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 2 of 5
*Attended virtually
other businesses in the area and received signatures from several in support of his
request.
Councilor Van Sickle explained that in the past, there was a somewhat piece meal
approach to establishing and legalizing ATV/UTV routes in the City. These had always
been in the Osaugie Trail area until that point and the initial route passed with seasonal
caveats. In 2020, the issue was sent to a citywide referendum. In every precinct the
proposed ATV/UTV route was voted down.
The committee discussed the request and felt this was settled during the 2020
referendum vote when 60% of Superior voters said no to all ATV/UTV on all city
roads. There was concern that approving this request would set a precedent, opening
doors for others to request ATV/UTV routes, which goes against what the vote showed.
MOTION by Ledin, second by Ludwig and carried to deny request to add a trail
section on Ogden Avenue.
Dustin Mishler left the meeting at 6:17pm.
Officer Trone left the meeting at 6:28pm.
4.3. Recommendation to award the design contract for the Bus Stop Shelter and Accessibility
Improvements project to Toole Design at the proposed cost of $113,706.
Toole Designs helped complete the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) that was adopted by
the City. This will be a really important second part of that work. They are very plugged in
to our City and Councilor Van Sickle is happy to see them take us to the next phase.
Director Janigo believes that with the Better Bus Blueprint coming out, it is even more
important that we look at a consultant like Toole Design who has laid out and worked with
transit locations and has worked with the ATP and where the people are moving and
walking as that will all change with the new blueprint coming out. They are dialed in to
what the patterns are and where they will be needed the most. The other piece with Toole is
the DOT experience with grant programs. This is a WIS DOT Grant with requirements from
day one through completion in order for the City to be reimbursed properly. Everything has
to be DOT compliant. Having someone that has gone through that process many times, will
be of benefit to the City.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to approve the recommendation to
award the design contract for the Bus Stop Shelter and Accessibility Improvements
project to Toole Design at the proposed cost of $113,706.

4.4. Recommendation to award the bid for the Digester Cladding Project to Michels
Construction in the amount of $195,349.
This project is to repair the cladding on the outside of the digesters located at Environmental
Services Division. This will increase the longevity of the digester walls. The funding will
come from the Waste Water CIP Budget.
MOTION by Ludwig, second by Ledin and carried to approve the recommendation to
award the bid for the Digester Cladding Project to Michels Construction in the amount
of $195,349.
5. RECURRING BUSINESS
5.1. ESD Director’s Update include in minutes
Received and filed
5.2. Director’s Update
5.2.1. Update on Blatnik – July 21 is last day for comments from the public. They are
looking at the existing alignments and whether the bridge will go east, west on
alignment or use some type of combination. The least impact would be on
alignment. The biggest question for Superior is the landing on this side of the bridge.
There are four options there and Director Janigo has been working with them on
other options as currently, none of them are ideal. There is concern with traffic
getting on to Hammond too easily because traffic does not tend to slow down. He
discussed some different ideas he has. He believes there should be an easier
connection from state highway to state highway with Hammond being a secondary
connection. He will work on having someone present this information at the next
City Council meeting on July 19th.
5.2.2. Currently in a lull with the sidewalk contract. The contractor will be back in 2-3
weeks to start up again. That program is about 75% complete right now.
5.2.3. Line painting round one is completed.
5.2.4. Hammond Ave design is still being worked on. There are some pretty significant
trees that need to be dealt with for various reasons. The Parks, Recreation and
Forestry Department had an evaluation done of all the trees in the City. That
evaluation found that some of the trees on this route happen to be poor quality and
could be taken down and replanted. The ones staying will be protected during the
construction. The next Public Input Meeting is planned for August 10th. At this
meeting, the public will be introduced to the design being proposed.

5.2.5. The City received feedback recently on a proposal being putting out for the design
concept for the Municipal Service Building. An RFP is being completed for
professionals to give design ideas dealing with some identified issues such as
making the second floor accessible and working on some restroom and locker room
issues.
5.2.6. Tower Avenue Road Diet proposal - WI DOT will be working on Tower Avenue
from Belknap Street to 64th Street in 2027. We are working on Belknap to 28th and
looking at doing more of a retrofit than a full reconstruct. The pavement is in good
shape so no need to redo that. We are trying to coordinate the project so the DOT
still does their portion of it. We received a price today from AE Con? who was
working through NW Regional Planning doing an evaluation on the corridor study
for 21st Street to 28th Street.
5.3. Future Agenda Items
5.3.1. Snow Removal continued discussion on a citation scale for repeat offenders and
establish system/policies.
5.3.2. Councilor Graskey: review of traffic concerns at North 6th Street and Grand Avenue.
5.3.3. Councilor Van Sickle: North 12th Street and Birch Avenue traffic concern (Kayla
Dietzmann)

day to day operations at the airport, preparing monthly activity and financial reports,
enforcing applicable regulations of airport activities, coordinating public functions such
as fly-ins and meetings, and to be a liaison for the pilots, visitors and customers of the
airport. The manager is also responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the buildings,
plowing, security, and conducting daily inspections of the airport physical properties,
including runways, taxiways, lighting systems and navigational equipment.
Mr. Amorde has excelled as our airport manager for approximately 45 years and
possesses all of the qualifications and experience requested, and is well-known in the
aviation community. He has been an excellent ambassador for the City and is our “public
face” for the customers and the public. Mr. Amorde also assists with project planning
and coordination, and ensuring that we maintain compliance with regulations and FAA
requirements.
3. Fiscal Impact
The proposal includes increasing the current annual management fees by $500 annually,
equal to the increase during the original contract and first extension to offset the cost of
liability insurance that Mr. Amorde is required to maintain. Annual contract costs are as
follows:
2023 $43,138.00
2024 $43,638.00
2025 $44,138.00
2026 $44,638.00
2027 $45,138.00
In addition, the City will continue to pay for actual snow removal and lawn mowing
expenses, which were approximately $2,500.00 last year. Terms for the five-year
extension are a continuation of the previous contract.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, the Public Works Department and Airport Division are requesting that the
Common Council approve the contract extension for airport management at the Richard
I. Bong Memorial Airport to Mr. Bill Amorde.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 23, 2022 Council Agenda Date: Sept 20, 2022
TO: Mayor Jim Paine and the Common Council
FROM: Todd Janigo, Public Works Director
RE: Purchase of Replacement Garbage Carts
1. Introduction
Garbage carts were recently ordered to refill our stock of carts used as replacements for
unrepairable carts. The purchase is exempt from the purchasing requirements of
ordinance due to being a patented product and made under a state contract bid
(Sourcewell).
2. Background
The City of Superior picks up household refuse in approximately 12,000 garbage carts
each week. These carts break, lose wheels and lids disappear. Carts are repaired until
they no longer function for the customer and are then replaced. In a typical year, from
500 to 750 carts need to be replaced. This cart order will cover the replacements
through mid-2023.
3. Discussion
The City of Superior began purchasing 96 gallon automated carts from Cascade
Engineering in about 2010 with the goal of a new standard cart after the old standard
was discontinued. Several carts from different manufactures were tried and the Cascade
brand cart was selected. Lids, axles and wheels are not interchangeable between the
different brands, so multiple brands in circulation is not the best option.
Cascade Engineering holds patents on multiple features of their 96-gallon automated
cart including the injection molding process and wheel assembly. The carts are available
through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract and are the highest ranking
cart available through that bidding process.
3. Fiscal Impact
The purchase of 530 carts in the amount of $31,683.40 is budgeted for in the Landfill
Enterprise Fund, Refuse & Garbage Collection account.
4. Conclusion
This memo is to inform the Public Works Committee and Council of the purchase under
section 2-378 of City of Superior Code of Ordinance. No action is required for this
purchase.
