e. Public Works Committee. Ald. Romanowski reported there is some carryover business from the last Council meeting, which is awarding the contract for the year 2000 Street Improvements.

5. Old Business

a. Street bids Administrator Carlson stated that two issues were outstanding on the contract.

1) Whether the wider street bid for Price Road should be taken. This issue is now resolved.

2) The question about whether to award the contract for Campbell Trace. Adm. Carlson approached the Village Administrator of Hartland and he expressed that Hartland was not interested in sharing the cost for the improvement of Campbell's Trace and in the alternate Hartland would like to amend the municipal boundaries between Delafield and Hartland and make the municipal boundaries reflect the center line of Hwy 83. Thus, legislation will be worked out for both the Village of Hartland and the City of Delafield that would accommodate. Therefore, the question before the Council is whether to go ahead and do the road this year and then make the boundary change or make the boundary change first and then come back and replace the road next year. Adm. Carlson stated the cost for repaving the road is $46,657.80, and he asked Mike Scaff about delaying Campbell's Trace and the comment was the project could be delayed another year.

Upgrade will bring a state-of-the-art cable television system, which will provide more channel capacity, greater reliability of the system, better picture quality and new services. Upgrade will include greater use of fiber optics and new electronics throughout the whole cable system. During the upgrade, communication with customers will be done via postcards, letters and door hangers. Discussion. The cost of Basic will remain the same $10.25 plus franchise and tax fees. Adm.

Ordinance 467 establishing speed limit on Oakwood Drive Adm. Carlson stated Oakwood Dr. is a 25 m.p.h. zone at one time it was 35 m.p.h. Because of construction in the area, it was reduced to the 25 m.ph. Ald. Plotz requested the area be revisited.

Adm. Carlson stated that one speed limit was not offered for the Council's consideration-Genesee Street is a County highway and there are inconsistencies in the speeds coming into town and going out (25-35). Adm Carlson stated he would like to get approval from the Council to approach the County and request that it conduct a speed study for Highway C/Genesee Street for the short stretch from the bridge near the pond north to Arlington and also ask the County to make the speed limit consistent and lower the speed limit in that stretch.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST TO THE COUNTY TO CONDUCT A SPEED STUDY FOR HIGHWAY C/GENESEE STREET FOR THE SHORT STRETCH FROM THE BRIDGE NEAR THE POND NORTH TO ARLINGTON AND ALSO ASK THE COUNTY TO MAKE THE SPEED LIMIT CONSISTENT AND LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT IN THAT STRETCH. (ROMANOWSKI/SCHUMAN) CARRIED.

e. Ordinance 469 prohibiting parking on Third Street Adm. Carlson stated this ordinance requests prohibition of parking on the west side of Third Street. He further stated that Ald. Romanowski explained that at the last Plan Commission, the Morgan's Pub requested to convert to a restaurant and the residents present at the meeting expressed concern about parking on Third Street. Thus, the police department went out to Third Street and apparently at some point there were signs posted there that prohibited parking, but no ordinances were found that gave the authority to enforce the parking restrictions. Therefor this ordinance gives the authority to post the no parking on the west side of Third Street to accommodate the residents' concern about the increased activity with the new restaurant that's replacing Morgan's Pub.

MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 469 PROHIBITING PARKING ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIRD STREET. (ROMANOWSKI/SCHUMAN) CARRIED.

f. Ordinance 470 prohibiting parking on Moraine End Adm. Carlson stated that at one time the City had a parking problem with semi-trailers up and down Moraine End located near the new Kettle Ridge Condominium project at the intersection of Cross Roads Court. Adm. Carlson received a call from a resident that expressed a concern about parking in the intersection of Cross Roads Ct. with Moraine End. Police Chief Arndt was asked to take a look at the site and review. Report that there was a problem in the intersection of Cross Roads Court with Moraine End. Therefore, the Police Chief recommends posting no parking on both sides of Moraine End including the intersection with Cross Roads Court.

MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 470. (ROMANOWSKI/SCHUMAN) CARRIED.

8. Administrator's Report.

Adm. Carlson called attention to an item in the paper regarding an incident with the police department. In an effort for the City to explain that this incident does not reflect the overall quality of the police department, Adm. Carlson asked Police Chief Jack Arndt to talk to the Council regarding the incident and steps that have been taken for improvements. Police Chief Arndt explained the situation with an arrestee absconding. Since that time, the police department has taken some appropriate disciplinary action within the department and reviewing the policies in place regarding two officers handing prisoners and transporting, restraining. He felt that the policies were adequate, but shored-up up the polices with some additional language and additional guidelines when transporting someone to the Delafield facility where secure detention facilities are very limited. More security detention items will be obtained. The party was recaptured without incident and will be charged. Adm. Carlson stated the good end of the story is that the Delafield P.D. broke a shoplifting case that the absconder allegedly shoplifted from a number of stores in the region, i.e., Town of Brookfield, City and Village of Pewaukee, Delafield.
