Roll Call: Present: Evan Touchett, Chad Kemp, and Sarah Gaskell. Also present: Theran Jacobson, Public Works Director; Jeff Montpas, City Engineer, AECOM. 3. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Gaskell, to approve the minutes of the April 22, 2019 meeting of the Public Works/Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 3-0. 4. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kemp, to recommend approval of contract with Payne and Dolan for Project 2016-123 CTH PD expansion from Woods Road to CTH M, not to exceed $1,479,552.75. Motion carried 3-0. 5. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Gaskell, to recommend approval of Amendment No. 2 with MSA Professional Services for Land Acquisition in regards to Project 2016-123 CTH PD expansion from Woods Road to CTH M, not to exceed $15,000. Motion carried 3-0. 6. Mr. Jacobson provided an update to committee on Water Rate Case submitted in July of 2018. Public Service Commission of Wisconsin – Water Division has completed the revenue requirement and is working on the rate analysis currently, Mr. Jacobson noted we are nearing the end of the rate case and more details will follow in the near future on rates. 7. Mr. Jacobson noted an analysis was completed by the Auditors on the revenue requirement for our fees from the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. Jacobson noted the following: • City approved ordinance no. 16-876 amending Title 9 Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances on June 27, 2016. The significant cost to the utility each year is from Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District for the treatment of the City’s population raw wastewater. Language within the ordinance allows the Director of Public Works to automatically adjust the sewer rate for the annual increases from MMSD. The MMSD rate change is a complex calculation with multiple variables and inputs therefore staff engages with our Auditors with the rate change. • Our Auditors recommend a rate change of 3.4% to satisfy the MMSD increases from 2017 base rates to 2019 new rates, therefore:  Volume rate change from $3.54 to $3.71 per 1000 gallons  ¾-inch residential quarterly meter charge from $40.11 to $40.35.  Other meter sizes are identified below: Mr. Jacobson noted the increase would be in effect for 2nd quarter billings in 2019 and be shown on bills received dated June 30, 2019. No action. 8. Mr. Jacobson provided an update on the schedule for Tower 1 maintenance on W. Verona Avenue.

Verona Avenue. Motion carried 3-0 9. Mr. Jacobson provided an update on ongoing public works projects. 10. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kemp, to adjourn at 5:58pm. Motion carried 3-0.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Touchett at 5:21pm. 2. Roll Call: Present: Evan Touchett, Chad Kemp, and Sarah Gaskell. Also present: Theran Jacobson, Public Works Director; Jeff Montpas, City Engineer, AECOM; Adam Sayre, Interim City Administrator; Carla Fischer, AECOM; Bill Dunlop, JSD; Tomas Toro, JSD; Fred DeVillers, FDG. 3. MOVED by Touchett, seconded by Kemp, to approve the minutes of the April 8, 2019 meeting of the Public Works/Sewer and Water Committee. Motion carried 3-0. 4. Mr. Jacobson stated that Construction Related Services for transportation improvements adjacent to west side Verona High School campus was outside of the staff ability for the City to handle, and that the City would contract this out and act as a pass-through for this project, and pass the costs along to the VASD. Mr. Jacobson detailed the research the city has done to review the possible contractors and recommends KL Engineering. Mr. Jacobson informed the VASD last month and previous Friday that the City would be contracting this out, and he had not heard back from VASD regarding this. MOVED by Gaskell, seconded by Kemp, to recommend approval of professional services agreement for Construction Related Services for transportation improvements adjacent to west side Verona High School campus with KL Engineering, contingent upon legal review by the council, and not to exceed $293,884.00. Motion carried 3-0. 5. Mr. Jacobson listed a review of past discussion items concerning Whispering Coves Subdivision, including minimum right-of-way widths, school site location/traffic and road adjacent to the school and storm water management facilities. Review of most current submittal from Mr. Dunlop: • Only one retaining wall SE corner near pond between Kettle Creek North • Working with landowner to south to combine basins • East 40 basins resized larger to handle events so there is no requirement for individual lots; volume control, treatment and infiltration for back-to-back 100 year events can be handled by the basins • Likely basins will be combined to circle the conservancy • Includes control for school site and east 40 • Pump station operations three modes: o Continual flow to have an amenity. o Need for infiltrate because of a storm event, pump either into that amenity which would run through different infiltration ponds or into a specific filtration pond through valving. Valving would be controlled from the panel at the pump station. o After catastrophic event, after infiltrate for 48 hrs, give the basins a rest and pump excess to west to the dry trib. • Currently doing a sensitivity analysis to determine how much of the development they can construct without having to construct a force main to the west • Experience in Stoughton: they were able to do phase I and II before needing the emergency element • No sense putting force main in before needed Mr. Touchett: Will you cover insurance policy for basements that flood after first two phases are built? Mr. Dunlop: The analysis has been done that shows basement elevations are two feet above back-to- back 100 year events. Stoughton example increases confidence. Sensitivity analysis will provide force main construction information. Mr. Jacobson: What storm event will get to within two feet of freeboard requirements without pumps? 4”? Mr. Dunlop: We will do that sensitivity analysis with pumps running and with pumps failing. There were several continued questions and clarifications by Committee members on timing. Mr. Touchett: What’s the impact on the Backus property? Will that be part of analysis? Mr. Dunlop: Yes, that analysis has already been done and Carla Fischer can talk to that. Both 100 year event and back-to-back 100 year events stay under elevation of existing property. Continued discussions on 500-year or worse events, number of pumps, pump noise levels. Public Works Committee indicated they would likely not support channel and continuous pumping. Costs of additional wear and tear on pumps and lift stations for a visual amenity should not be supported by rate payers. Mr. Jacobson: In order to meet infiltration requirements, developers will have to move water around on-site. Mr. Dunlop: Yes, we will have to. Eastern 40 of residential area drains to basins and there is no soil there that can infiltrate. We will have to pump it up to infiltrate. Ms. Fischer: How big will the main infiltration basin have to be to meet the requirements without re- circulation? 4x? 2x? Mr. Dunlop: Physically I don’t see how that’s going to work. If I remember from Cory’s analysis, it’s a function of topography of the lot and there’s not enough area of soil to do what you want to do, and everything to the east is already downstream of that spot, so we already have to pump it there anyways just to get the infiltration requirements for that portion, which is roughly 80 acres. Mr. Toro: What we are trying to do here is use a resource that we have that would otherwise be dry. Once a storm is over, the water that would naturally reach that area will dissipate, and instead of pumping excess water elsewhere to the dry trib, to pump it here instead. Continued discussions on environmental waste of constant pumping, and not using more natural draining processes. Ms. Gaskell: Amenity not needed. No need for the City to set a precedent of coming to an agreement with a developer for having an amenity. • School road width did not change, right-of-way to stay within 66’ minimum. School site is still in limbo. Ms. Gaskell: From the trail perspective, can we run it from where it’s popping into the school site on the north there, out to McKee as well? Mr. Dunlop: There are some significant grade issues there, we could not get it ADA accessible. That’s why we show the path along the roadway, the grades even out. It would be a more suitable route. Continued discussion on switchbacks and kids on bikes, snowplowing operations, pathway networks, sidewalks maintained by PW must be at least 6’. • Mr. Jacobson: Intersection approaches are still showing sweeps, that’s a racetrack. Design standards that the FDM has that Montpas can provide, there should be a 13 degree skew Mr. Dunlop: We are trying to keep that feature in there to keep the traffic flowing. Mr. Jacobson: We use the standards on urban streets in Verona, and they slow people down. No one will yield otherwise. It will accommodate pedestrian crossings. Ms. Gaskell: We are more concerned with safety than keeping traffic moving, especially near schools. I have no problem with people stopping there. Mr. Jacobson: I still don’t like the geographics of these intersections, I’d rather see less of a skew. This is probably more like 40 degrees. Less will slow drivers down. No action taken. Touchett left the meeting at 6:00pm. 6. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Gaskell, to adjourn at 6:16pm. Motion carried 2-0. Public Works Committee May 28, 2019 Item (4) Awarding Contract for Project 2016-123, CTH PD expansion from Woods Road to CTH M.

The following bid items provided a significant reduction as compared to the estimate: • Hot mix asphalt • Curb and gutter • Mobilization Payne and Dolan has provided work in the City of Verona as a subcontractor to other prime contractors in previous years’ projects for the City of Verona with the most current being in 2018. Based on past work performed in the City of Verona and references checked, Public Works Staff is of the opinion that Payne and Dolan has the personnel, equipment and financial assets necessary to complete the 2016-123, CTH PD expansion project. Item (5) Awarding Contract for Project 2019-102, Amendment No. 2 with MSA Professional Services for Land Acquisition in regards to Project 2016-123, CTH PD expansion from Woods Road to CTH M MSA professional services is under contract for providing land acquisition coordination and execution for the CTH PD road expansion project from Woods Road to CTH M. Amendment No. 2 is for additional services such as: extended duration of project; level of complexity; increased parcel count; negotiation time; coordination with property owners, legal counsel, and staff; and executing the final land negotiation. Contract is a time and materials not to exceed. • Original contract value (approved 12/12/2016) = $45,000 • Amendment No. 1 (approved 9/25/2017) = $7,000 • Amendment No. 2 = $15,000 Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 with MSA. Item (6) Verona waterworks rate case update. Baker Tilly our City Auditors and City staff (Utility) submitted the water rate case to Wisconsin Public Service Commission in July of 2018 after recommendation for Public Works Committee on July 23, 2018. The rate case is nearing the final stages after multiple data requests from PSC staff, coordination with Auditors and PSC staff, and data request responses by staff and Auditors. Utility received a response from PSC staff on May 15, 2019 that PSC staff has analyzed the rate case based upon information provided by Utility and Auditors. Utility and Auditors reviewed the PSC letter. Utility responded on May 21, 2019 to the letter that the Utility is in agreement. The next steps are within PSC staff control as they will develop the cost of service study and a proposed rate design. PSC commission will ultimately act of the case at a date to be determined and then Utility / City will act for any changes necessary to rates and codes. Item (7) Verona Sanitary Sewer Rates The City approved ordinance no. 16-876 amending Title 9 Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances on June 27, 2016. The significant cost to the utility each year is from Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District for the treatment of the City’s population raw wastewater.

Services between City of Verona, Wisconsin (CITY) and MSA Professional Services, Inc. (MSA) for Reconstruction of CTH PD (Woods Road –CTH M) This Agreement, made and entered into on December 19, 2016, is hereby amended as follows and is made part of the original AGREEMENT. Amendment is required because: a. When the original agreement was signed, the schedule for the real estate acquisition work was assumed to be from July – December 2017 with an April 2018 construction schedule. The City of Verona was pursuing a possible alternative funding source for construction of the project. The actual timing of the acquisitions was delayed and the majority of the Offering Price Reports were approved in January 19, 2018. The duration of the project increased by approximately 6-8 months. b. The level of complexity for the parcels has increased since the time of the original agreement for the Right of Way required for the project. Significant amount of additional negotiation time due to increased development in the project area, resulting in higher land values from the time the appraisals were prepared, landowners not responding in a timely manner to continued follow up on the project, and attorney involvement on many of the parcels. c. The City of Verona’s desire to reach a negotiated settlement without using the Eminent Domain process extended the negotiation and increased offer approval time. d. Due to a change in WisDOT policy and to the process for lending institutions involved, the number and complexity of obtaining the Partial Releases of Mortgages required more time than the assumed requirements in the original agreement. e. The original contract included up to one meeting per parcel owner. The actual number of meetings per parcel owner was significantly higher. f. Parcel 8-Integra Investments, LLC sold part of their land to Parcel 10-North Neighborhood, LLC, requiring a plat revision, additional title reports, coordination with the City of Verona, City of Verona Attorney & representative and AECOM. g. Annexation Agreement-extended the acquisition process for Parcels 8 & 10. Parcel 8- continued tenant relocation follow-up due to the land not being transferred to the City of Verona, therefore not requiring a notice to vacate to be provided to the tenants. h. Added litigation work relating to Parcel 11-Gerald & Linda Endres parcel. The City of Verona desires to reach a Negotiated Settlement for the land previously acquired by an Award of Damages for the CTH M project and the land rights required for the CTH PD project. If a negotiated settlement is not achieved, Parcel 11 on the CTH PD project will be acquired through the Eminent Domain process by an Award of Damages. Legal counsel will need litigation assistance to defend the City of Verona as court proceedings continue. (Time & Materials). BY THIS AMENDMENT: 1. For items a – g above, this Amendment #2 changes the total contract amount from the Original Contract and Amendment #1 from $56,200 to $61,500 (increase of $5,300). 2. For item h above, this Amendment #2 adds a Time and Material cost item for litigation assistance work relating to the (Endres parcel) as requested by the City. Compensation will be Time and Material basis. Estimated fee of $10,000 is based on approximately 80 Page 1 P:\9200s\9280s\9286\09286014\Contract\Amend #2\9286014 Verona-CTH PD- Amend_2 -2-20-19 Beth.doc – 90 hours. As the work progresses, MSA will notify the City if the work required is projected to extend beyond this amount. 3. TOTAL cost of this Amendment #2 is $15,300.

Box 7854 Mike Huebsch, Commissioner Madison, WI 53707-7854 May 15, 2019 Mr. Theran Jacobson, P.E. Verona Water Utility 410 Investment Court Verona WI 53593 Ms. Kate Hanson, Staff Attorney Citizens Utility Board 6401 Odana Road, Suite 24 Madison, WI 53719 Re: Application of the City of Verona, Dane County, 6100-WR-103 Wisconsin, as a Water Public Utility, for Authority to Adjust Water Rates Dear Mr. Jacobson and Ms. Hanson: Public Service Commission (Commission) staff has analyzed the Verona Water Utility’s (Utility) application for a water rate increase. The application was received on July 31, 2018. On November 30, 2018, the Utility requested an extension to January 9, 2019, to respond to Commission staff’s initial data request, mainly due to Utility staff back log and its transition of accounting software packages. (PSC REF#: 354055.) On January 11, 2019, the Utility proposed several adjusting entries to address the accounting for impact fees along with several other PSC Annual Report adjustments. (PSC REF#: 357384.) A reconciliation of the proposed adjustments was e-mailed to Commission staff on May 1, 2019 and filed on May 7, 2019. (PSC REF#: 366124.) This document summarizes all adjustments to Utility Plant and related accounts that were proposed in this rate proceeding. After all proposed adjustments are made the net contributed plant variance is $221,446, which Commission staff considers reasonable. This difference is similar to the amount that is still expected in impact fee collections. Commission staff also reviewed each of the proposed adjustments in this rate proceeding and reflected these adjustments in the proposed revenue requirement for the 2018 test year. The attached contains Commission staff’s proposed 2018 test year revenue requirement exhibit (Exhibit) and will serve as the basis for the cost of service study. Alex Hanna, Rate Analyst, will soon develop the cost of service study and a proposed rate design. A copy of that exhibit will be sent separately upon completion. Commission staff will submit both proposals at the public hearing, which will be scheduled at a later date. Telephone: (608) 266-5481 Fax: (608) 266-3957 Home Page: http://psc.wi.gov E-mail: pscrecs@wisconsin.gov Mr. Theran Jacobon, P.E. Docket 6100-WR-103 Page 2 Please note the Commission staff proposal is based on a 5.30 percent return on net investment rate base. This rate of return is the current benchmark for municipal rate cases at the time the revenue requirement was finalized. Based on the Utility’s capital structure and debt payment schedules, 5.30 percent return provides adequate debt service coverage. Attached as Schedule 4 is the list of depreciation rates that is the basis of Commission staff’s estimated depreciation expense for the test year. Please note that some rates may be different than previously authorized. When the final decision is issued in this docket, these depreciation rates will be certified for use by the Utility effective January 1, 2019. Please note that the general service and public fire protection rates are typically effective within 90 days of the final decision. During the review of the Utility’s rate application, several items that resulted in additional review are important to note. • In 2001, the Utility constructed the water tower, booster station, and mains and recorded the entire $2,403,676 as Utility Financed Plant. The Utility transferred $1,273,574 of these capital assets from Utility Financed to Contributed Plant from 2001-2010. Based on the 1995 Impact Fees – Public Facilities Needs Assessment (Assessment), the Utility intended to construct these assets partially to serve new development. (PSC REF#: 357421.) However, the Assessment was updated in a letter dated April 28, 1997 from Mr. Robert E. Gundlach, P.E. with Rust Environment and Infrastructure Inc. (PSC REF#: 364566). These changes were reflected in the 1997 Report on Water Impact Fees (PSC REF#: 357383). Facilities that are based on impact fee studies and constructed to serve growth shall be recorded as Contributed Plant. The Utility proposed adjusting entries in this rate proceeding to correct the accounting for impact fees along with the associated adjustment to Accumulated Depreciation and Unappropriated Earned Surplus (216.2). The summary of the adjustments that were made are as follows. o Adjustment 1 reclassified $1,130,102 from Utility Financed Plant to Contributed Plant based on capital assets that were financed by impact fees. o Adjustment 2 reclassified $1,034,037 from Contributed Plant to Utility Financed Plant to move projects that were not funded by impact fees. o Adjustments 4 and 5 reclassified $393,887 from Capital Paid-In to Unappropriated Earned Surplus - Contributed Plant for 2005 developer contributed projects. o Adjustments were also made to Accumulated Depreciation and Unappropriated Earned Surplus associated with these above adjustments. Mr. Theran Jacobon, P.E. Docket 6100-WR-103 Page 3 The Utility shall also make these proposed adjustments in the books that were closed for 2018, report the adjustments in the 2018 PSC Annual Report, and refile that report. (PSC REF#: 366124.) • In 2010, the Utility was reclassified from a Class C to a Class AB utility. Pursuant to PSC § 185.43(2), Class AB utilities are required by the Uniform System of Accounts to institute a perpetual inventory of their assets known as Continuing Property Records (CPR). The Utility’s CPR shall maintain: o a system of plant accounts as prescribed by the Uniform System of Accounts o that all property units will be described in sufficient detail to permit identification and will have the location information to allow verification of their physical existence; o that all property units will be identified with construction costs to establish their original cost for capitalization and retirement accounting o that the age and service life of property units will be calculable for depreciation studies (original cost, description, age, and proper retirement unit); o that source documents supporting the original cost and quantities of property units will be preserved for a period of 6 years after plant is retired; o that maps may be part of the CPR if they contain a description of the unit, their location, and the year of construction. Commission staff recently requested additional information about the condition of the Utility’s CPR in this rate proceeding and noted that the Utility’s CPR has not been fully developed. Commission staff recommend that a requirement be added to the final decision in this rate proceeding regarding improvements to the CPR and timelines for the Utility to make such improvements. • The Utility included capital assets of $2,500,000 in the 2018 test year for the Well No. 6 project, approved by the Commission in docket 6100-CW-105. Commission staff removed this project from the revenue requirement due to updated information from the Utility indicating that construction will not begin until 2019 and be completed in 2020. Only those projects which are expected to be in service within the test year are included in the 2018 test year revenue requirement. • Several other smaller adjustments were also discussed through the data request process. The adjustments include several expense adjustments, including tower painting, membership dues, and labor. All other adjustments are described in further detail in the Exhibit. After reviewing, please confirm by Electronic Records Filing (ERF) that the Utility and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) respectively are in agreement with Commission staff’s revenue requirement proposal as set forth in the Exhibit within 14 days of the date of this letter. Please Mr. Theran Jacobon, P.E. Docket 6100-WR-103 Page 4 identify the document type in ERF as “Exhibit Offered.” If the Utility or CUB are not in agreement with any individual component(s), please contact Commission staff for further discussion. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me. If you have any questions regarding the status of the rate case, please contact Alex Hanna at (608) 267-2336 or by e-mail at Alex.Hanna@wisconsin.gov.
