2. Citizens comments on items pertaining to this agenda

Mr. Hans Huber questioned if public hearing would be held on water system. Mr. Romanowski replied that two public meetings were held. Mr. Huber's concern was that study did not give any credibility to the contamination of private wells.

b. Plan Commission Alderman Romanowski reported that Plan Commission met July 26, 2000. The next meeting August 30, 2000. An application was submitted for additional cell phone tower in Cushing Business Park. He stated more research is being prepared and it and will be coming back for conditional use permit hearing. Matt stated park is limited to B1, B2, B3 uses. Without change to his conditional use, he would not be permitted to have any other use other than B1, B2 or B3. Owner needs amendment to his conditional use which opens his business park up for different kinds of uses. The cell tower company needs its own conditional use to install cell tower. The direction that the Plan Commission asked the Council to go is to ask the City Attorney whether or not this is spot zoning, and he responded that it is not spot zoning. The second follow up was to ascertain the fiscal impact of the cell tower. Mr. Carlson communicated with Jerry Baneck from the cell tower company asking him if he would be willing to pay for the cost of the fiscal impact study and his response back is that they are still considering what their options are. The Mayor then stated the public hearing is tentatively scheduled for August 30.

c. Lake Welfare Committee

d. Park and Recreation Commission Alderperson Aldridge reported there is one candidate for the Park and Rec coordinator. Has experience working for the Oconomowoc Park & Rec department, however Matt indicated a very recent development is that person received a full-time teaching position so we may have unfilled position. Budget priorities presents challenge but still working on it. K. Aldridge also stated a person has volunteered to architectural work for the Valley Road Farms and Copperfield Park.

e. Public Works Committee Ald. Romanowski stated the committee is still trying to take care of old business, i.e. ULS driveway construction, working with consults to complete plant on Hwy 83. DOT plans have been submitted but missed deadline for submitted plans for left turn at Heritage Ridge. Matt Carlson was going to follow up with consultant. In cooperation with Bob Hyde to test hydrogen sulfide control system at the Parquelynn Village lift station. Bob has donated a pump and tanks for storage of chemical and Mike has ordered 400 gallons of chemical to feed into Parquelynn Village Lift Station.

f. Del-Hart Commission Ald. Quartaro reported the commission voted to raise RV dump fees to $3.00 and are going into additional planning for the year 2020. A letter was sent to neighboring communities to give them an opportunity to plan along with us and lastly, talked about the hydrogen sulfide problem.

g. Recycling Committee

1) Dumping at Public Works Recycling Center Ald. Mathey has been in contact with Glen Huebner and he has reported he is finding trash dumped after hours. Something must be done, sign for fine should be installed perhaps a $75 fine. Chief Arndt indicated the city probably has an ordinance adopting the state statute. The fine would probably amount to approximately $73.90, not $500.00. Mayor indicated this could be researched and brought back to Council for consideration. Ald. Mathey suggested there be a 1st time warning and then a fine for the 2nd offense.

h. Police and Fire Commission Ald. Mathey stated a meeting will be held August 16.

k. Other committees

5. Old Business

a. Request for direction for water system John Isleb distributed final report on water supply treatment and distribution system. He stated that Public Works had asked for background on file with the City with regard to the search on the potential contamination sites.

Mr. Carlson stated Mr. Huber asked about the contamination issues earlier in the meeting and asked if he could explain that before getting into the details of his presentation. Pat Plankton explained final study, direction of financing and asked for direction to proceed. John Isleb discussed background of contamination search including the water supply history of the city, water supply needs, issues on study, and the TIF formation. He described the master planning, overall master plan, focus on study, extension to downtown area, how it fits into larger plan and showed example of financial analysis, cost estimates, used public service commission's cost of service.

The project would be started next year. The connection fee will be $1500 per unit with 70% of given area connected.

It makes sense to connect to system at I-94 and 83. It would be cost effective to extend existing into downtown. The east service area by Nagawaukee Park and lake could be serviced by Hartland. Most practical way would be to respond to need in new development. It was asked how many dollars from TIF available to contribute to water system.

As far as extension policy, consistent with sewer facilities, the mandatory hookup would be within one year with a 10 year connection fee repayment plan. Private wells could be abandoned or a permit could be obtained to keep private well. It was questioned whether or not the City could require new development to install water.

Implementation plan is as follows: § establish schedule § select water main routes § quantify connections § submit to PSC § coordination plan § well site investigation

Ald. Mathey asked if it is only downtown where water system is proposed. Residents are calling him with complaints. Mayor asked about finances. Would the hook up fee be $1700 for single family resident? Ald. Mathey asked what happens when the well goes bad. The water treatment is built into the system. TIF revenues, assessment or connection charges, and quarterly bill are the three pieces of how we pay for system. Range of numbers looked at is $1000 to $1700. People still have expense to hook into system. The lateral charge is approximately $12.00 per lineal foot to hook up. Ald. Craig questioned mandatory hook up. People with good wells might not want to hook up. May have updated their wells. Why does City force to hook up. The Mayor replied it must be mandatory because if only 50% hook up, it would be more costly to the other 50%. If we let the TIF hit 10 year mark without using it, downtown has to have water. Ald. Romanowski stated most communities have mandatory policy and feels it's going against principal of choice. He also says it it is responsible to make utility solvent. TIF was made to provide water to downtown. There is a history of failed wells downtown. M. Carlson stated three main reasons for water: water quality, quantity, and fire protection. nt. Most homes are not built with standpipes to handle pressure.

Ald. Craig stated he would personally probably hook up to water and people should have the right not to hook up. Water downtown has to be paid by the TIF.

Mr. Plankton spoke regarding the Village of Plover. Residents had mandatory hook up but could still continue to use their own well.

Ald. Schuman stated new wells can go out anytime. Well water can be tested pass one month and failed the next and asked what kind of numbers are they talking about. M. Carlson stated if extending the Hwy 83 and 94 system, there would be a $1500 connection charge, and would require connection with one one year with a 10 year payback. The City could pursue water agreement with Hartland, and extend the system when large developments occur or quality require action. Once the ten year period ends, the system would be turned over to City. Regarding existing wells, one option would be to abandon wells, or get permit to operate wells with condition permitted by DNR.

Water system would be built in downtown first. Mayor noted when conditional use was granted for Waters Edge Condos, they might be hooking up to water.

Public Service regulates established rate for using Hartland water. Ald. Romanowski agrees with most of policy.

The lateral line from road to house is contracted cost and is not part of public works costs.

Motion to accept recommendation to downtown hook up with respect to policies. Aldridge/Schuman. Carried. Roll call: Mathey-No, Schuman-Yes, Craig-No, Lieblang-Yes, Quartaro-Yes, Aldridge-Yes, Romanowski-Yes. Carried.

Dave Anderson of Ehlers & Associates did a financial presentation. He presented three different scenarios for the TIF district and stated the bond issues are better to split between 2000 and 2001.

Postponing any downtown improvement on streets until decision is made about water.

Motion to proceed with preparing bond ordinance and financing plan based upon presentation made by Ehlers. (Romanowski/Quartaro). Carried.

6. Mayor's Report

a. Appointment of Linda Quartaro to LACS

Motion to appoint Linda Quartaro to LACS (Craig/Lieblang) Carried.

Draft letter of appreciation to Norm Ream.

7. New Business

a. Well abandonment and well operation permit/proposed ordinance Housekeeping ordinance that was reviewed. Basically makes municipal code

Moved to approve (Quartaro/Romanowski). Carried.

b. Ordinance amending Chapter 12.04 (Dog Licensing and Regulation) to include cats Ald. Schuman questioned the need to do this and how do we grandfather existing number of cats in each house. Mr. Carlson stated there are sections of code regarding the issue of animals and spoke to someone in Waukesha County Animal Welfare department that investigates animal cruelty. Other communities do not regulate number of cats. The City has a kennel ordinance for dogs. Mukwonago has a licensing requirement, and provides live traps for residents to catch cats, and other small animal and has a contract with the humane animal welfare department.

M. Carlson wants to get advice of veterinarian. Costs more to generate license. He suggests licensing be consistent with dog licenses.

Suggestion to regulate the number of cats and if over the limit, then must get license similar to kennel license. The Council suggested more research be done and brought up at a future meeting.

c. 1999 Police Department Annual Report (Jack Arndt) Chief Arndt presented annual report.

d. Approve engineering consultant (Foth & Van Dyke) agreement for lift station rehab project

8. Administrator's Report

a. Resolution to create Lake Welfare Committee (transmittal) Phil Schuman wanted to see what created the committee. Mayor would like to see new resolution with review of setbacks of lake regarding boathouses, etc. similar to that of plan commission. Romanowski suggested watershed, would like to see committee educate residents about shoreline rehabilitation.

b. Request for guidance regarding light fixtures Matt Carlson discussed light fixtures are going to be used for Genesee and Milwaukee Street replacements. Intent is to get process to get conclusion on this. Sub-committee, ideas from developers, chamber of commerce. How to define what kind of light fixtures to get. Subcommittee can go to downtown businesses. DPW and tourism council should be involved. Jim Romanowski suggested plan commission be involved and submit at next plan commission meeting.
