It looks as though it may be vacant for 2 years. At the request of Village Hall, Public Works has designed flower beds that will help block traffic noise and make the corner more usable as a public area. The flower beds will be built out of railroad ties instead of raw cut timbers seeing the ties are half the price of rough cut timbers. The vacant lot can support three double flowers beds and one single bed as shown in the attached sketch. The flower bed wall will have three walkways through it to allow people to enter the area. The beds are 3’ x 8’ x 35” tall and joined by a railroad tie wall between the beds. This will give the effect of one solid wall as vehicles drive by. Once plants are planted in the planter next spring, areas of the wall will be over 4’ tall. All aspects of the wall will help block street noise from entering the park. Financial Cost Currently, Railroad ties from Menards are 15.09 each and are a better quality than Home Depot. The beds will need a total of 110 railroad ties and hardware for construction. The ties will cost $1659.00 and an estimated $75.00 in fasteners. For a total price of $1735.00 Discussion Approve the cost of up to $2000 to construct and install the flower beds for the vacant lot at 1st and Main. Respectfully submitted, James T.

We are reaching the height of new cases seen in May in our jurisdiction, with no signs of slowing down. This trend is occurring not only in our jurisdiction but also in much of southeast Wisconsin. If we do not stop the virus now, this may impact the ability of schools and businesses to operate safely. As permits and requests come to your municipalities to hold events, we strongly urge you to NOT approve these as the current recommendation is to cancel or postpone indoor and outdoor mass gatherings. This recommendation includes festivals, carnivals, fairs, concerts, parades, etc. For most public events, it is nearly impossible to ensure that the health department can perform contact tracing if there is a case at an event. If we cannot perform contact tracing, we may need to do a public notification to identify contacts, and this is not our preference. Similarly, for outdoor social gatherings, we recommend 25% capacity or 10 or fewer people, whichever is less, plus wearing a face covering and maintaining physical distance. For indoor social gatherings, we recommend 10 or fewer people, wearing a face covering and maintaining physical distance. For private events with no public access, please call us if you have questions. We are closely monitoring the situation and will let you know when the case count starts to go down again. Thank you for helping ensure the safety and well-being of your residents and the community. Serving Caledonia, Dover, Mt. Pleasant, North Bay, Norway, Raymond, Rochester, Sturtevant, Union Grove, Yorkville, Town and Village of Waterford, Town and City of Burlington
