Osterbrink is working on submitting a grant. The Resolution will allow him to submit the grant
and give him the approval to sing any necessary documents needed for the grant. Guild
mentioned that neighbors are concerned about the human defecation that currently happens
at the site. Neighbors asked if a Porta Potty could be put on site. They also asked about a
privacy fence. Guild mentioned the Village is in the process of fundraising for the project and if
enough funds are raised he does not see an issue with putting in a privacy fence.
*M/S/P: Berger/Esker approve the resolution.
2. Prohaska Tree Farm, Acquisition Grant Resolution
The Resolution will allow him to submit the grant and give him the approval to sing any
necessary documents needed for the grant. Guild mentioned the Village has been approached
by Mr. Prohaska to sell the Village 77 ½ acres of property on the corner of Ryan Street and
Weston Avenue. He has offered to sell the Village the property for $490,000. The original price
he offered the Village was lower. A grant application was filled out and submitted to Marathon
County Environment Impact Fund for the lower amount and the Village was awarded half of the
cost for the lower amount. We are trying to look at different grants and fundraiser
opportunities. Guild mentioned this project may be a room tax eligible purchase.
*M/S/P: Berger/Esker to approve the resolution.
3 & 4. Arbor Day Proclamation and Bike and Walk to Work Week Proclamation
Osterbrink mentioned the Arbor Day proclamation is a requirement for our Tree City USA
status. We will have an Arbor Day observance. On May 15th we will do some planting to
celebrate Arbor Day.
Bike and Walk to Work Week is the week of May 11 – 15th. It’s a national week where people
should try to influence their self and others to bike or walk to work to conserve energy, etc.
*M/S/P: Berger/Esker to approve both Proclamations.
5. Purchase of a Ball Field Groomer
a. Osterbrink stated the current machine we have is a 1999 machine that was purchased from the
Wausau School District in 2009. In 2010 the Village rebuilt the motor and replaced the hydraulic
pump. It still has a variety of issues. The main concern is it not a reliable machine. There is
money budgeted for 2015 for the machine. Shawn received quotes for 2 difference machines.
He investigated both machines.
*M/S/P: Esker/Berger to approve the quote from HORST Distributing, Inc. with the three wheel
drive option for $15,095.
E. Department Reports.
Report from Aquatic Center Manager Brad Mroczenski. (Osterbrink gave update).
Currently working on in person and phone interviews.
Last Saturday the Village held Lifeguard Water Testing at the DCE Senior pool. The turnout
was not great. There were only 5 Lifeguards that came, which were new applicants. This is a
great tool so they know what skills to work on with each lifeguard.
Changed the layout of the Personal Manual for the Aquatic Center. Formatting it to fit into a
chapter into the Village manual.
We have been working on other details to make sure we are all set to go for the start of the
season.
Osterbrink has been taking calls at the Park Office for birthday parties, private parties etc.
Discussion on equipment that needs to be replaced.
Report from Parks Director Shawn Osterbrink.
We have been working on replacing the banner brackets on the Weston banners.
Jessica Falkowski has been trimming street tree’s.
Street Department has been blowing and sweeping all the medians.
Has been in contact with Mark Roffers about the River Access Plan. Administrator Guild and
I met with the Greenheck Foundation and the Community Foundation and discussed ideas
of what is available for funding, etc.
F. Report from Administrator on matters related to parks and recreation.
The Canoe and Kayak launch project was in the 2015 budget, even before we were awarded the
grant. $73,000 is approximately half of what we anticipate the project to cost. We are working
on a May 1st application for funding from the DNR, and a June 1st application for the Community
Foundation and Greenheck Foundation. Approved CWE to proceed with the design documents.
Eau Claire River Trail master plan. The idea is to have a document to share with different
foundations, our neighbors, etc..
Working on Yellowbanks and Kellyland master plans. We should be planning projects, then
announcing the projects to neighbors, etc. and then fundraise. It would be nice to have huge
signs up about new projects. The Foundations suggested we need to do more to alert the
community about our plans. We need to do more “pop”. I will reach out to the sign companies
for quotes.
The Prohaska purchase contract will be brought to the next Village Board meeting.
Dates to remember: Strategic Planning Workshop on Monday June 29th; follow up event on
August 31. November 16th potential date for Budget Hearing.

the 3 full time Park employees, were drafted with the help of their individual JDQ’s.

acknowledgment signing part and none of the others do. Osterbrink stated that the template
for the Director’s position was the only one with a signing page.

Arbor Day Proclamation
Arbor Day Proclamation
Whereas, In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a
special day be set aside for the planting of trees, and
Whereas, the holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a
million trees in Nebraska, and
Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, lower our
heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce
oxygen and provide habitat for wildlife, and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our
fires and countless other wood products, and
Whereas, trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of
business areas, and beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal,
NOW, THEREFORE, I _____________________ President of the Village of Weston, do hereby
proclaim Friday, May 15th, 2015 as
Arbor Day
In the Village of Weston, and I urge all citizens to celebrate
Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and
Woodlands, and
Further, I urge all citizens to plant and care for trees to gladden the heart and promote the
well being of this and future generations.

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
AGENDA ITEM DSCRPTN: PURCHASE OF BALL FIELD GROOMER
FOR CONSIDERATION AT: PARK AND RECREATION COMMITTEE; MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2015
LEGISLATION TYPE: ACKNOWLEDGE | MOTION | ORDINANCE | POLICY | RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION TO: Purchase the Smithco Superstar Field Groomer, 3 wheel drive version from Horst
Distributing and to trade in our 1999 Smithco Superstar.
REPORT PREPARED BY: Shawn Osterbrink; Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry
BACKGROUND: During development of our Capital Equipment Plan staff prioritized the
replacement schedule of equipment in the various departments. One of the
higher priority items for the Park Department was the replacement of our 1999
Smithco ball field grooming machine. This used machine was purchased jointly
with Everest Youth Baseball from the Wausau School District in 2009. In spring
of 2010 the motor was rebuilt and the hydraulic pump was replaced. Youth
Baseball cost shared in the motor rebuilding and hydraulic pump replacement.
The Village currently has budgeted $20,000 for the replacement of this piece of
equipment. In February of 2015 I attended the Board meeting for Everest Youth
Baseball to discuss the current ball diamond machine due to the joint purchase. I
asked them about trading in the old groomer for a new one. They stated that we
should go ahead and trade the old machine in on a new one. I also talked briefly
to them about possibly cost sharing on the new machine. They stated that they
are currently not in the financial position to assist with the purchase but are
hoping that by this fall that they will be able to fund additional improvements on
the diamonds at Kennedy Park. This machine continues to have continues to
have mechanical issues and we would like to move forward with the purchase
that has been budgeted for 2015.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Shawn Osterbrink, Park Superintendent
DATE: Thursday, March 19, 2015
SUBJECT: Park Project Update
1. Canoe/Kayak Launch Ross Avenue – I have now met with Central Wisconsin
Engineers to discuss drawing up plans, putting together a bid package and
construction management costs estimates for this project. The estimate was
completed and delivered to the Village for review. Administrator Guild and I met
with both the Community Foundation and Greenheck Foundation to discuss
opportunities available through those organizations that may be used for the
development of this launch. It sounds as if both organizations have opportunities
available that we can submit requests to assist in the development of this launch. We
have received an Environmental Impact Grant of just over $73,000 for the
development of this launch. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant. I am also working
on filling out a grant request to the Department of Natural Resources for this project.
2. Park Master Plans for Kellyland and Yellowbanks – I have met with Central
Wisconsin Engineers and have instructed them to move forward with the
development of the Master Plans for these two parks. Funds for these plans were
budgeted for 2015.
3. Prohaska Property – We have met a few times with the Prohaska’s over the last
several months to discuss the purchase of the 78+ acres we have dubbed the Prohaska
Tree Farm on the Northeast corner of Weston Avenue and Ryan Street. Throughout
our discussions we had come to an initial agreement for the purchase price of
$350,000 for this property. We presented them an intent to purchase that included the
negotiated price but they stated shortly after that it was not sufficient. We have now
received an updated price from the Prohaska’s. Their current asking price is
$490,000. Administrator Guild is working with Attorney Yde on an updated intent to
purchase agreement.
The initial paperwork has been sent to the WDNR that allows us to submit a grant.
Grant needs to be completed and submitted prior to May 1st. Grants are typically
announced late summer with funding available in early fall.
The initial appraisal of the property has been completed. We have discussed the
project with our Community Service Specialist Beth Norquist at the WDNR. We also
received a letter of retroactivity from the WDNR back in 2014 that is good through
2015 in the event that we would purchase the property prior to receiving a grant for
the purchase.
We have received an Environmental Impact Grant of $175,000 through Marathon
County to use toward the purchase of this property. The grant is a 50/50 matching
grant.
The next steps in the acquisition of this property is to submit a Second Appraisal
Request Form to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. They must request
the second appraisal for the property. They can either order the appraisal on their own
or they can request that we order another appraisal. I am currently working on
assembling and filling out the necessary paperwork for the second appraisal request
and the grant request itself.
4. X-Fest 2015 – We have had an initial meeting with Jeff Tarras from the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and they would like to plan two events again this year. A tentative
schedule of July 18th and 19th from 11:00 to 3:00 has been set with registration
beginning at 10:00 each day. There will be a skateboard event with competition and
instruction on the 18th and a bmx bike event on the 19th to include competition and
instruction. We will also be working to get food vendors lined up and Jeff is working
on getting sponsors for the events. The approximate cost is $5000 for both days.
Unfortunately Jeff has lost the sponsorship from Thrivent Financial so more funds
will need to be acquired to host these events this year. We will probably see a room
tax request to fund these events this year. Jeff is currently working with other groups
in the area to assist with the development of these events so we have not had
additional meetings regarding X-Fest.
5. Fletcher Property (Callon and Hwy J) – I have discussed the purchase of this property
with a WDNR Real Estate Specialist Lynne Tomlinson. The WDNR had contacted
the County a couple of months ago to see if they were interested in the property. The
county is not but they contacted us to see if we may be interested. Originally the
WDNR thought they be interested in this parcel and possible cost sharing for the
property. Unfortunately after discussions with their Fisheries Biologist Division they
determined that they do not have any interest in the property for a boat launch/parking
area due to the size of the parcel (1/2 acre). I have contacted the Fletchers and they
are currently out of town for the winter. I briefly discussed the property with them
and they are currently not marketing the property and have not come up with an
asking price. I stated that they should contact us when they have put together a price
or when they return to the area so we can discuss further. They stated that they would
rather just have us put together an offer and present to them and then we could
discuss.
6. Develop River Trail Master Plan – I have contacted Mark Roffers to discuss the
development of a River Trail Master Plan and have requested that he put together a
scope of services to develop this plan along with a cost estimate. We would like to
develop a plan that discusses our ideas and identifies sites for potential locations
throughout the county. This plan will be used to help present our ideas to different
organizations when we make presentations for grants, etc. Unfortunately this process
is moving slower than anticipated and I need to touch base with him again as he has
not contacted me as promised since our initial communication.
7. Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan – The new CORP has now been completed
and approved. The Planning and Development Department is assembling a hard copy
of the plan that will be sent to Elizabeth Norquist our Community Service Specialist
with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. We would also like to see a
portion of our new CORP get included in the Marathon County CORP. I have sent
and initial communication to Bill Duncanson and Peter Knotek from the Marathon
County/Wausau Park Department to see if this will be possible and what the process
may be to get this to take place. To date I have not heard back from them.
8. Aquatic Center Dates 2015 –
a. Lifeguard applications were due March 13th with testing on March 21st from
12:00 to 2:00 at D.C. Everest Senior High Pool. Brad Mroczenski began
interviewing candidates the week of March 16th and will continue over the
next two weeks.
b. Teen Nights – Will be held on June 26th and August 7th from 7:00 to 10:00
p.m. I have arranged for the DJ and advertising through WIFC for these two
events.
c. Swim lesson dates are set (June 15-26, July 6-17 and July 27 through August
7th)
d. The pool will open for the season on Saturday, June 6th. We will have regular
hours on the 6th and 7th but on the 8th and 9th we will open at 3:00 due to kids
still being in school. Regular hours of 11:00 to 7:45 will return on June 10th
through the remainder of the season.
e. We currently have three pre-season rentals scheduled. They are June 5th, June
8th and June 9th. We also have one group scheduled at this time on June 10th. I
have also had contact with at least two individuals that would like to schedule
night rentals during the season.
