Prepared by: Stacy Gilmeister, Utility Clerk
Swenson provided an updated SOP report to the committee.
Mumper asked about the long-term plan for Well 3. Swenson stated it will be
repurposing our current temporary treatment that’s in there, that’s treating Well 4. We
will be upgrading the well house to fit the temporary treatment we currently have. We
will be using a Green Sand used as a media that will treat the iron and manganese
through that. After that it will run to the treatment plant where it will have the permanent
PFAS removal, where Well 4 will also be coming into that and then it will go into our
clear well and then into our distribution system.
Zeyghami asked the approval for Well 4. Wodalski stated that we submitted the Safe
Drinking loan application with the design with the DNR with an appointment this coming
Friday. Wodalski stated our project scored well due to the PFAS treatment.
Zeyghami questioned the treatment of iron and manganese. Wodalski explained Well 3
the temporary PFAS treatment couldn’t handle Well 3 due to the iron and manganese
content, where Well 4 has zero iron and manganese. Therefore, Well 3 stayed off and
Well 4 is back online. The PFAS could be removed without being clogged with iron and
manganese particles. Well 3 will have a special iron and manganese plant added to it.
Mumper questioned the status of the rental agreement. Wodalski stated the rental
agreement has the option to purchase at the end of the rental agreement with the plan to
purchase and use it for the removal of iron and manganese for Well 3.

commitment throughout of his years with the Village of Weston.
15. Remarks from Staff
Wodalski wanted to add to Josh’s report regarding Stacy creating workorders. Stated that
we need to celebrate the corrections that we are getting things corrected and taken care of
on the billing side of things. It hasn’t been an easy spot for her to take over and help get
things corrected. Stacy is doing great. It’s a good thing for Utility to help get that taken
care of. Wodalski stated News Channel 7 called today regarding our water detection
software. Our other new hire Raechel Tessen in the Clerk’s office is proactive in posting
things. We’ve had Aquahawk since 2019 and had the news media call today asking about
this new system that’s being implemented. Although it’s not new, it’s great to have
somebody keep being proactive with communication, letting people know what we do, what
we have to offer, what people can do to track their water usage, leaf pick up, or whatever it
may be.
Lopes-Serrao stated how incredibly important it is to keep people informed through the
website and social media. The biggest problem that we run into is when people are
misinformed or confused about something then things spread around on social media
creating more misinformation. Keep communicating and educating is helpful.

Water and Sanitary Sewer have been installed from Ryan St to Progress
Way East and this section is currently being paved. This is approximately
1.35 miles of roadway. Integrity will then be working on Progress Way to
CR-J which is primarily just street work until they get closer to CR-J. This
is roughly 3/4 of a mile.
Design on the west end (CR-X to Ryan) is continuing with the goal of
having a plat ready in early Fall so we can begin the real estate process. I
had a review meeting with AECOM last week and we have the goal of
getting a draft plat done for the October meeting so we can begin the
ROW process. We’re still going over some design modifications as well to
reduce ROW impacts as much as possible.
2. Weston Ave (Alderson to Birch):
Construction scheduled for 2024
Consultant: MSA
Final design is progressing on this item with an anticipated construction of
next year. I’m told the ROW plat should be finished by the end of the
month so we can get started on any acquisition that may need to take
place. Primarily we’d have some property at the Weston Ave/Alderson St
intersection.

3. E Jelinek and Von Kanel:
Construction scheduled for 2024
Consultant: Clark Dietz
Survey work was completed this past month. Had a preliminary design
meeting to go over planned typical sections and review any known
drainage, traffic, utility, etc. issues along the corridor. There is some ROW
questions that we need to get verified as well.
The pedestrian accommodations also were discussed. The original
thought is we’d look at sidewalk on both sides of E Jelinek from Camp
Phillips to Kirk St and then transition to a multi-use path from Kirk St to
Von Kanel. On Von Kanel itself, from Schofield Ave to E Jelinek there are
wetlands and a larger drainage way, so we may only be able to place a
sidewalk or path on one side of the road and then as we head south to
Barbican to connect to the sidewalk there and existing sidewalk on Crest
Ridge Dr., it may make sense to just place sidewalk on the west side of
the road due to grade and wetlands on the east side.
We’ll be looking to hold a Public Information Meeting the week of October
9th, perhaps that Wednesday, would like to get feedback from the
Committee Monday on if that would work. After the Public Information
Meeting we should have better feedback from those in the area and can
then proceed with final design elements.
4. Jelinek Ave (Machmueller to Alderson):
Construction scheduled for 2024
Consultant: Clark Dietz
Reviewed 60% plans with Clark Dietz this past week. This project is
mainly repaving with replacement of existing curb ramps to make sure
they’re ADA compliant, replacing existing storm inlets to add sumps for
better suspended solids removal and there will be several water valves
replaced as we had begun replacing failing valves along this roadway in
previous years and want to ensure we don’t repave the road just to dig it
up to replace a bad valve.
5. Ross Ave (Metro Dr/Pine St to Alderson St):
Anticipate Construction in 2027 per DOT agreement
The Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent out earlier this month with
proposals being due at the beginning of October. This is a joint project
with Schofield which we’ve received a grant from the Wisconsin DOT for
$2,635,011.
6. Birch St Reconstruction (Shorey Ave to Cross Pointe Blvd):
Construction: Substantially Complete
Consultant: Becher Hoppe
REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION

7. Ross Ave and CR-X Intersection:
Construction Year: ~2026 (Dependent on Grant Funding)
Consultant: TBD
Proposals from 3 firms were received for design services. In the process
of reviewing proposals with the County. This would include reconstruction
of CR-X from Sternberg Ave north to Eau Claire Ave.
8. Schofield Ave and Mesker St:
Construction Year: 2024
Consultant: MSA
MSA was awarded the design on this project last month and we’ll be
working on design yet this month.
9. Ross Ave (River Bend to Pauls):
Construction Year: TBD
Consultant: TBD
Will be submitting a grant application for this project as part of the Surface
Transportation Project – Urban funding this fall through the Department of
Transportation (DOT) as well as through the Local Road Improvement
Program. This would be a joint project with the Town and include
improvements at the Ross/Kramer intersection.
10. Business 51 (Volkman St to Schofield Ave):
Construction Year: 2028/29
Consultant: Becher Hoppe
DOT has indicated this project has shifted now to a 2028/2029
construction year. The road is the DOT’s but this project involves a
replacement of our watermain and sanitary sewer main underneath the
roadway.
- Utility Projects:
1. Wells 7 and 8:
Construction: Substantial Completion is 12/23/2023, Project is ~90%
Complete
Consultant: AECOM
Construction of the pump house is continuing. The epoxy flooring should
be completed by 9/15 and Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing work will
need to be touched up after flooring. It looks like that is going to stretch
out now to the end of September. Wells may not be up and running until
early October.

PFAS treatment and now that the budget is approved, we’ll be looking at
that funding potential as well.
5. Ryan St and Trotzer Lift Stations:
Construction: Substantially Complete
Consultant: Clark Dietz
Some punch-list items remain. Also will be working on getting some site
improvements completed outside of the construction contract (fencing,
paving of Ryan St lot, etc.)

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Public Mtg/Date: Public Works Committee – 9/11/2023
Description: Weston Ave (Ryan St to CR-J) Change Order #1
From: Michael Wodalski, Director of Public Works
Question: Should the Public Works Committee Recommend the
Village Board approve Change Order #1 for a deduct
of $15,967.40?
Background
Attached is Change Order #1 for the Weston Ave (Ryan St to CR-J) Project. This
change order is for a reduction in total contract price of $15,967.40.
As we are getting closer to restoration on the site, it was noticed there was a large
amount of erosion mat called out for in the plans. We took a second look at the plans
and identified that only 3,000 of the 69,452 SY of topsoil restoration requires erosion
mat due to the slope of the ground.
Instead of erosion mat, a crimped mulch will be used on the slopes for seed protection
and soil stabilization. This reduces the majority of the square yardage price from $1.20
for the original erosion mat to $0.75/SY for the mulch. There is an additional
mobilization for the specialized mulch equipment to be brought to the site.
Attached Docs: - Change Order #1
______________________________________________________________________
Committee Action: -
Fiscal Impact: - The contract price would be reduced by $15,967.40
_______________ ___________________________________________________________
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval
Recommended Language for Official Action
I move to recommend the Village Board approve Change Order #1 for a project
deduct of $15,967.40 for a new contract price of $6,697,732.17.

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION
Public Mtg/Date: Public Works Committee – 9/11/2023
Description: Resolution 2023-015 – A Resolution Approving the
North Central Wisconsin Stormwater Coalition
Cooperative Agreement
From: Michael Wodalski, Director of Public Works
Question: Should the Public Works Committee Recommend the
Village Board approve Resolution 2023-015?
Background
The Village has been and currently is a member of the North Central Wisconsin
Stormwater Coalition. The purpose of the coalition is to develop and implement a single
information and outreach program for all participating members to help the communities
meet the requirements of the Wisconsin Administrative Code to increase awareness of
stormwater impacts on waters of the state.
This approach has worked well in keeping costs down and has allowed our communities
to pool our funds and efforts together to have a better regional reach along the
Wisconsin River Watershed. In the past the coalition has worked together to updated
storm water ordinances, provide educational workshops and literature, broadcast public
service announcements regarding stormwater and has sponsored various water clean
up efforts.
Attached Docs: - Resolution 2023-015
______________________________________________________________________
Committee Action: - Village Board Previously approved Resolution 2018-041 to
extend the Village’s involvement in the Coalition through
1/31/2024. This Agreement will extend the Village’s
involvement with the Coalition for another 5-years.
Fiscal Impact: - Annual fees have ranged from $1,500 to $2,000 per year.
These costs are likely less due to the Village being a part of
the coalition as compared to trying to comply with the
stormwater requirements on our own.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval

I move to recommend the Village Board approve Resolution 2023-015.
