Dodge County Highway Commissioner – The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that Dodge County is liable in an accident where the view of a stop sign at the intersection of a town road and county trunk highway (with the stop sign on the town road) was obstructed. Although the stop sign was on private property, it controlled access to a county trunk highway and required maintenance by the county highway department.

Corporation Counsel Kenealy – Dreblow read Kenealy’s response to the town of Fredonia’s request that the county assume responsibility for the maintenance of Shady Lane.

Hawthorne Dr. (CTH ‘Y’). The committee discussed the fact that the county does not have a written policy regarding directional signs but that currently such signs are discouraged.

Moved by Kletti and second by Hilber to grant the access variance, to the Waubeka Fire Dept., with the condition that a reversionary clause be included. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Dreblow requested authorization to fill the vacant equipment operator position. The committee questioned the need for filling the position at this time. Dreblow and Tackes explained that the Port Washington crew has been reduced by moving Fritz Koehler to an I-43 section and moving Rob Wetor to the Waubeka crew.

Meaux left the meeting at 11:00 a.m.

Marty Zens and Tom Strecker, representing Badger Truck Center, appeared before the committee. Zens apologized for his error in ordering the wrong tri-axle chassis, which led to the second bidding of the truck. He explained that the change in the production date of the second chassis was beyond the control of Badger Truck Center. Stecker proposed keeping the truck in the production schedule and delivering it in 2003. The committee explained that the funds budgeted for 2002 have been used for another purpose and that the 2003 budget will not be approved until the end of November.

Chairman Kaul called the Ozaukee County Highway Committee meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. Present were committee members Kaul, Hilber, Grosklaus, Uselding and Kletti, Commissioner Dreblow and Office Manager Carroll. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Van Sluys and Dave Van Camp and Bob Moore of Earth Tech. Moved by Kletti and second by Grosklaus to approve the minutes of the May 2, 2002 meeting as printed. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted. The committee signed the April conference attendance report.

The committee agreed to address the agenda item "CTH ‘T’ and CTH ‘W’ intersection reconstruction". Dreblow reviewed the public informational meeting held May 9^th. Mr. and Mrs. Van Sluys addressed the committee with their concerns. The need for a dedicated eastbound left turn lane on CTH ‘T’ was reviewed. The current plans call for moving the centerline of CTH ‘W’ west 34 feet and the center line of CTH ‘T’ south 12 feet. The engineers displayed tentative plans eliminating the dedicated left turn lane and incorporating curb and gutter on the east bound right turn lane on CTH ‘T’. If this plan were to be used for the road design, right-of-way needs would be reduced by approximately 10 feet, and there would be less right-of-way taken from the Van Sluys property. Moved by Grosklaus and second by Kletti to direct Ayres & Associates to revise the right-of-way plat and to redesign the roadway, eliminating the east bound dedicated left turn lane and gravel shoulder on CTH ‘T’. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted. Dreblow advised the Van Sluys’ that a public informational meeting would most likely be scheduled for early July. Mr. and Mrs. Van Sluys, Mr. Van Camp and Mr. Moore left the meeting.

Mr. and Mrs. John Paulus joined the meeting. The Paulus’ requested that the Highway Committee approve a variance to the county access control ordinance allowing installation of a driveway, 224 feet east of the existing east driveway to their property. This would allow three access points to the property. The committee discussed reasons for the established distances between access points. The committee indicated its reluctance to grant a variance for a third access point. Dreblow suggested that if one of the existing access points were eliminated, it would make approving a variance more likely. Moved by Uselding and second by Grosklaus to table the variance request until the meeting of May 30^th. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted. Mr. and Mrs. Paulus left the meeting.

County Board Chair Wirth and Administrative Coordinator Meaux joined the meeting.

Dreblow reviewed correspondence and communications.

Fond du Lac County – Notice that Pauline Parker is no longer on the Walworth County Highway Committee. The seat she held as District #2 Committee person on the WCHA Board must be filled by appointment. Dreblow asked if any member of the Highway Committee is interested in the position? Any appointee would most likely be elected to fill the position permanently. Kletti indicated that he might be interested and would discuss it with Dreblow at a later time.

Fond du Lac County – There are three rooms available at the host hotel for the summer highway conference. Kaul, Hilber and Dreblow confirmed that they would attend the conference.

Wayne Denow – Dreblow read Denow’s letter of resignation. Denow has been an equipment operator since August 1963. The position has been offered to current employees. The eligibility list will be used to fill any vacant position.

Shop Superintendent Leppla joined the meeting.

Dreblow reviewed other construction projects.

CTH ‘I’ – Dreblow met with engineers from Gremmer & Associates, on May 14, 2002, to discuss the progress of the project. Realignment of the intersection of STH 33 and CTH ‘I’ is included. The Emerald Hines dragonfly, wetland impact and mitigation and groundwater impact are no longer issues. WisDNR has given preliminary approval to the environmental document, with some changes requested. When final approval from WisDNR and WisDOT is received, right-of-way acquisition plans can proceed.

Dreblow, Wirth and Meaux discussed the SEWRPC Transit Advisory Committee public hearing that was held on May 15^th. An additional public hearing will be held to review Chapter 7 of the report. The three main topics of discussion were:

County Transit Center – The needs, benefits and location will continue to be studied.

Proposed Mequon Park and Ride Lot – Rental of space at a local business does not seem feasible. WisDOT right-of-way on the NE corner of the I-43 and STH 167 involves wetlands and needs WisDNR approval. The cost of property on the SE corner of the interchange would cost approximately $1.4 million. It has been suggested that use of Venture Court right-of-way, might be a possibility. Study of the proposed lot will continue.

County Taxi maintenance and dispatch – SEWRPC has recommended that maintenance of the automobiles be done at the County Highway shop and that the dispatch office also be at that location. The requests for proposals for taxi service include this option.

Wirth and Meaux left the meeting.

Leppla reviewed proposals for painting of buildings at Cedarburg and Port Washington as follows:

All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Grosklaus was excused from the meeting at 11:50 a.m.

The committee agreed to reschedule the June 13^th meeting for June 14^th due to the conflict with the summer highway conference.

Leppla advised the committee that he had inspected the tri-axle truck bid as an alternate by Badger Truck. This truck does not meet all the bid specifications. Leppla recommended accepting the Badger Truck bid for a 2003 Sterling LT 9500 at a cost of $63,440.00 with a delivery date of 90 days. Moved by Kletti and second by Hilber to accept the bid of Badger Truck as recommended by Leppla. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Dreblow reported on the Commissioner’s Training held April 9^th – 11^th in Hayward. The federal bridge inspection standard was discussed. The latest interpretation of the law requires inspection within a twenty-four month period, not at a two-year interval. This leads to a shorter time between inspections. WCHA will work toward having the wording of the law changed. Counties have been asked to keep detailed records of accidents involving work zone traffic control devices (Message Boards). The LRIP program was reviewed. Changes in erosion control regulations do not affect counties at this time. WCHA is working with WCA to contract for administrative services. This item may be on the agenda of the summer highway conference.

Dreblow reviewed construction projects as follows:

CTH ‘T’ and CTH ‘W’ Intersection – The draft of the right-of-way plat is nearly complete. Dreblow will meet the engineers and right-of-way consultant on April 24^th.

CTH ‘W’ from STH 167 to Glen Oaks – The environmental analysis is complete. The finding of no significant impact is in process. The need to modify storm water handling may cause a schedule impact. It appears that construction could begin in 2004.

County Bicycle Trail – At this time the original route along Ridgewood Road will be used. Kaul suggested that CTH ‘W’ be used as the route south of East Sauk Road. Dreblow will investigate this possibility.

Dreblow informed the new committee members that the summer highway conference would be held June 10^th, 11^th and 12^th in Janesville.

Also in attendance were Administrative Coordinator Tom Meaux and Journal/Sentinel reporter Jeff Cole. Moved by Eckert and second by Myers to approve the minutes of March 21, 2002 as printed. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

v Correspondence and Communications

Ø City of Mequon - The Office of the Commissioner of Railroads has denied the city of Mequon petition for a crossing at the bicycle trail, south of Bonniwell Road. The city was advised that the five- year lease agreement with Wisconsin Electric did not meet the standards required for a public crossing.

Ø Speed Limit Ordinance – The County Corporation Counsel has prepared a speed limit ordinance for CTH ‘W’ from the south county line to the intersection with STH 57, north of Saukville and for CTH ‘I’ from Oxford to the north limits of the city of Cedarburg. Dreblow reviewed the proposed ordinance for CTH ‘I’. Moved by Kaul and second by Eckert recommending adoption of a 35mph speed limit on CTH ‘I’, from Oxford to the north limits of the city of Cedarburg, and forwarding the recommendation to the County Board for action. Kaul, Myers, Grosklaus and Eckert voting aye and Uselding voting nay, the motion was adopted. Dreblow reviewed the proposed ordinance pertaining to CTH ‘W’. Moved by Uselding and second by Myers recommending adoption of a 35mph speed limit on CTH ‘W’ from the south county line to Glen Oaks Lane in the city of Mequon, a 45mph speed limit from Glen Oaks Lane north to the village of Grafton, a 35mph speed limit within the village of Grafton corporate limits and 45mph from the north limits of the village of Grafton, through the village of Saukville to the intersection with STH 57, and forwarding the recommendation to the County Board for action. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Ø City of Port Washington – The city will undertake the reconstruction of CTH ‘LL’ (Seven Hills Road) as a four lane urban section from the Burger King entrance driveway to the east limits of the Country Inn property.

City of Mequon Utility Engineer Scott Stanley joined the meeting. Scott explained that due to the need for additional surface drainage, it may not be possible to meet the schedule set for completion of plans for the reconstruction of CTH ‘W’, from STH 167 to Glen Oaks Lane. Mr. Stanley left the meeting.

v Construction Projects

Ø County Fairgrounds - Dreblow discussed the plans for municipal water and sanitary sewer at the fairgrounds.

Mr. Cole left the meeting.

v Equipment Purchases (Superintendent Leppla joined the meeting.)

Ø Tri-Axle Dump Truck Chassis – Leppla advised the committee that Badger Truck has delivered the truck chassis. Upon inspection it was determined that the truck did not meet the specifications. The wheelbase is too short. Badger has offered the county a one-year old demonstrator truck that exceeds specifications, at a cost of $60,000. The truck has 5,000 miles on it. It does not appear to be cost effective to accept the older truck. Moved by Uselding and second by Grosklaus to advise Badger Truck Center that the county will not accept the truck as delivered. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted. The committee discussed options. Moved by Uselding and second by Grosklaus to re-advertise for bids for a tri-axle truck chassis. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Ø Painting of County Equipment – Leppla reviewed a proposal from Dairyland Truck for painting the Vac-All truck at a cost of $4,375.00. The committee agreed that the truck was scheduled for replacement and therefore painting at this time is not necessary. Leppla reviewed a proposal from Dairyland Truck to paint the Grove Crane at a cost of $2,125.00. The committee directed Leppla to accept the proposal.

Leppla left the meeting. Uselding left the meeting.

Jefferson County – The County is in the process of conducting a survey of state counties using a 4-day summer work- week.

Town of Grafton – The town forwarded a letter from Dr. Zeeman regarding the speed limit and amount of traffic on CTH ‘C’. Dreblow will respond to Dr. Zeeman.

Village of Grafton – Chairman Kaul has received correspondence asking him to participate in the Walkable Communities Initiative. The village will pilot a program sponsored by WisDOT to develop a model for pedestrian friendly design. A workshop will be held on April 19, 2002 at the village.

Journal/Sentinel reporter Jeff Cole joined the meeting.

Construction projects were reviewed as follows:

STH 32 and STH 57 – Dreblow reported that the STH 32 project has been moved forward. The bid letting date will be October or November of 2002, with construction in 2003. Completion of the northbound lanes of STH 57 south of CTH ‘H’ has been postponed until 2004. The southbound lanes south of CTH ‘H’ and the northbound and southbound lanes north of CTH ‘H’ should be competed this fall and opened to traffic. Northbound traffic will travel on the old pavement during 2003. Traffic will then be rerouted with both directions of traffic using the west most lanes until replacement, of the northbound lanes, is complete in 2004. Dreblow met with WisDOT Project Manager Duquaine and County Supervisor Leider to discuss the new schedule. If time permits, construction of the Park & Ride lot could begin in 2002.

CTH ‘W’ and CTH ‘T’ Intersection Reconstruction – Dreblow met with Scott Solverson and Dave Van Camp of Earth-Tech to discuss the progress of right-of-way acquisition plans. A preliminary informational meeting will be scheduled with property owners in late spring. Construction should take place in 2003.

Mequon Bicycle Trail – Earth-Tech is designing the Mequon portion of the County Bicycle Trail and Dave Van Camp is the WisDOT project engineer for the entire trail. Van Camp gave Dreblow a status report on the Mequon segment. Earth-Tech is waiting for WisDOT approval for the bridge designs. Construction of the 5 bridges should begin in June. Approval by the Office of the Commissioner of Railroads is expected for changes to the Wisconsin Central Limited grade crossing. The historical documents have been completed and the environmental documents are in the approval process.

Pete Holtz and Project Manager Paul Katers, representing American Transmission Co., met with the committee. American Transmission will be replacing electric transmission towers within part of the inter-urban right-of-way between Milwaukee County and Saukville, beginning in October 2002. The old lattice type towers will be replaced with single poles. Dreblow advised them that the Mequon Bicycle Trail would be constructed within this right-of-way during the summer of 2002. Plans for both projects were reviewed. Dreblow recommended that American Transmission contact the city of Mequon and advise them of the possible conflict as soon as possible. Holtz assured the county that if restoration would be necessary American Transmission would restore the damaged areas. Replacement of other sections of electric transmission towers within the county will coincide with replacement of the Port Washington Wisconsin Electric Power plant. Holtz and Katers left the meeting.

Dreblow and Myers reported on the Traffic Safety Committee meeting held on March 20, 2002. Representatives from WisDOT advised the committee that a cable rail would be installed in the median of I-43 from Good Hope Road to STH 167. The Median Crossover Study concluded that there are no design deficiencies in this section of highway and that most accidents have been caused by driver error. Dreblow reviewed the posted speed limits on CTH ‘W’ from the south county line to STH 57, north of Saukville. A speed study indicated that in areas where the speed limit is 55 mph, motorist average 52 mph. Currently there is no county ordinance regulating speed on CTH ‘W’, therefore the current posted limits are not enforceable. Dreblow recommended that the Highway Committee adopt a speed limit ordinance for CTH ‘W’ reflecting the current posted limits and reducing non-posted segments to 45 mph. Dreblow was directed to request Corporation Counsel Kenealy to prepare an ordinance for County Board consideration. Dreblow reported that the city of Cedarburg has posted the speed limit on CTH ‘I’ within the city limits as 25 mph. County ordinance sets the limit at 55 mph. The Traffic Safety Committee has suggested that the speed limit from Oxford to the city limits be set at 35 mph. The Sheriff Department has completed a traffic study of the intersection of CTH ‘D’ with CTH ‘LL’. Traffic signals are not warranted at this time.

Reporter Cole left the meeting.

Accounts payable in the in the amount of $54,505.49 were audited and approved for payment. The labor payroll of March 15, 2002 in the amount of $84,910.56 was approved.

Moved by Grosklaus and second by Myers to adjourn the meeting at 11:40 a.m. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Dreblow advised the committee that he has been asked to help prepare plans for the water supply and sanitary sewer at the fair grounds.

The installation of the bicycle trail bridge over the Milwaukee River was completed on schedule. There are some questions regarding additional erosion control. Mr. Dommer has declined to sell the strip of property needed to route the trail off-road between East Sauk Road and Ulao Rd. It appears that the original route through the Ridgewood Subdivision will be used unless WisDOT will allow construction within the I-43 right-of-way.

The city of Mequon schedule for construction of their portion of the bicycle trail was reviewed. There are three bridges in their portion of the project. The bridge plans have been sent to WisDOT for approval. The scheduled start date for trail construction is June 15^th, 2002. The department has been asked to do the actual trail construction.

Dreblow reviewed a cost reimbursement contract from WisDOT for Ozaukee County to mill and resurface paved shoulder on I-43. The contract amount is $299,766.34. Moved by Grosklaus and second by Myers to sign the contract. All members present voting aye, the motion passed.

Dreblow reported on the meeting of the Transit Advisory Committee. He reviewed the proposed SEWRPC Transit Plan. There are a number of sites being considered for the Grafton Transit Center. The construction of a park and ride lot in the city of Mequon is still being considered. Mequon is not if favor construction of the parking lot. Dreblow pointed out to the advisory committee that construction of other county lots did not need municipal approval and he believes that WisDOT should proceed with construction of a park & ride lot on WisDOT I-43 right-of-way. The SEWRPC plan recommends that maintenance of the county taxis and buses be transferred to the Highway Department if inside storage is provided for the vehicles.

The committee approved the fund transfer request to carry over 2001 construction balances.

Superintendent Leppla joined the meeting. Leppla reviewed the February 21^st bids for purchase of a 4x4 pickup (both bi-fuel and no-lead options) and the purchase of a one-ton truck chassis.

Moved by Grosklaus and second by Eckert to approve the minutes as corrected. All members present voting aye, the motion passed. All members present voting aye, the motion was adopted.

Superintendent Banton reported on the status of the bike trail bridge over the Milwaukee River. The early thaw and ice dams are causing problems. It was necessary to construct a tracking pad, using 14 loads of 3" stone for a base, in order for the contractor’s equipment to reach the bridge sight. At this time water is rushing over the temporary installation and the contractor is unable to unload the bridge structures. The county costs will be tracked and billed to the bridge contractor. Banton left the meeting to re-inspect the bridge site.

Dreblow advised the committee that Mr. Dommer is requesting that the county construct a driveway to access the land locked out-lot on the west side of the WEPCO right-of-way. If he does not modify his request the county will withdraw its offer to purchase the property needed for the bike trail. WEPCO has only agreed to allow access if the needed strip of land is sold to the county.

The following correspondence and communications were reviewed:
