New Business regarding the bid analysis recommendation from Foth &
Van Dyke for Lift Station upgrades. He expressed concerns regarding
high nitrate levels greater than 10 milligrams per liter. Mr. Zahorik
questioned if the City of Delafield residents in Valley Road subdivision

7. New Business
a) Approve bid analysis recommendation from Foth & Van Dyke for
Lift Station Upgrades
Jim Koskiniemi of Foth & Van Dyke and Carl Scharfe, Project Manager,
reported to the Council their analysis recommendation for the lift station
upgrades. The improvements affect 22 lift stations, three in Nashotah.
Five bids were received, which is considered a good return rate.
J. Koskiniemi provided background and historical data regarding the project,
its funding and bidding process. It appears that Advance Mechanical
is the low bidder. The Council received detailed information on the
five bids and J. Koskiniemi reviewed them with the Council and the citizens
present.
Council Members asked questions regarding the amounts and how they
were determined. J. Koskiniemi explained the loan process and payment
for work. There exist several outstanding issues:
1. No DNR Permit. C. Scharfe has been in contact with the DNR
and is working on this issue.
2. Lift Station 12. A variance will be needed since this lift
station is located on private property. The owner will need to get
the variance. It was recommended that this lift station work be put
on hold and that other work begin while the variance is being processed.
The Mayor and Council Members asked questions about expenses, the loan
process and the ability to start the project. Discussion focused
on when to procure the loan and deadlines. J. Romanowski suggested
that Council Members be mindful of not going beyond the 90-day period for
fear of raising project costs. Mayor McAleer asked that M. Carlson finalize
an agreement with Nashotah while project is pending. Discussion ensued.
b) Ordinance regarding overnight parking in Fish Hatchery lot.
This item was tabled for discussion until M. Carlson could be present.
c) SIP approval - Purity Office Building.
J. Romanowski received a set of architectural renderings. He
provided the Council with background information and the current plans
for the building and landscaping. There does not appear to be anything
contentious at this point. This is a very high quality building that
will provide a great tax base for the City.
MOTION TO APPROVE SIP SUBJECT TO PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE AND CITY
ENGINEER REVIEW AND UPON REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT AND CONFORMITY
WITH OTHER MINOR ITEMS. (SCHUMAN/ROMANOWSKI). MOTION
CARRIED.
d) Resolution to consider allowing the Waukesha County Housing Authority
to exercise its powers to issue revenue bonds to provide financing for
a proposed housing facility for senior citizens.
P. Schultz would like to get a beneficial interest rate approval to
exercise powers in relation to a revenue bond. Mayor McAleer suggested
that this information be sent to the City Attorney for feedback as to how
Statute fits into this. There should be a decision by the next Council
meeting. P. Schultz would give preference to residents from Delafield.
P. Schultz also explained income guidelines for residents and how units
are marketed. The building site has been determined and reviewed
by the Plan Commission and the Public Works Committee.
