Review of Conceptual Design for CTH W from STH 60 North: Mr. Murphy explained the Continental Development with Costco as their main tenant. They expect to have Costco up and running late summer 2007. To facilitate the amount of traffic that will be generated by this development a traffic impact analysis (TIA) was done. The intersection will have to be rebuilt. Ms. Barker explained the preliminary design signals at both off ramps from I43, reconfiguration of traffic lights, addition of dual left turn lanes, two access points to the Costco development and raised median. Discussion on safety issues regarding the median openings and existing commercial property owners. The village board would like to keep the median open until the traffic is there and needs to be closed. Mr. Rick Schmit, a property owner has an agreement with the village to pay for the costs to close the median at a later date from construction when deemed necessary. Mr. Dreblow stated that the original design that he saw reflected what the village board wanted, leaving the medians open until the traffic warranted it. Once he reviewed the traffic impact analysis for improvements in 2007, it called for closing both of those median openings. The determination on whether or not the medians are to closed is under the County’s authority, not the Village of Grafton. The TIA says it should be closed so Mr. Dreblow directed the engineer to prepare a plan that met the recommendations that were contained in the TIA. That is his recommendation. Further discussion. Atty. McIlnay commented on the TIA and the property owned by Mr. Gall. Supervisor Richart commented further. Discussion of possible future development in the area.

Mr. Rick Schmit spoke on the existing south median opening at the Target Center and that it should be included in the plan for analysis as a potential traffic signal improvement. Mr. Murphy state that the Village Board indicated that they would not look at that part of the intersection at this time. Mr. R. Schmit would like the County to instruct the Village to include this in the plan. Mr. Dreblow agrees and will follow up. Further discussion.

Supervisor Wirth commented on grandfathered items and inverse condemnation. Mr. Dreblow commented that there is no requirement to grandfather anything in. Discussion. Mr. Gall commented on the access to his property and concern on illegal u-turns.

The County will incur 100% of the cost to close the median at a future date. Ms. Barker cautioned the committee in allowing those median openings for left turns to remain open citing safety issues. They should be closed off when intersection is done not later. Further comments from Mr. R. Schmit. Mr. Dreblow states that good engineering design would indicate that those two medians should be closed as part of this design and the impact of closing the southern median should be evaluated for a potential signal.

Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to the keep the median openings to the north and to the south open contingent upon Doug Gall, the property owner agreeing to pay for the closing at the time needed. Discussion. Supervisor Uselding withdraws the motion.

Operating/Management/Fiscal Reports: Mr. Knight gave his report on the golf courses, competition in the industry is high. Mr. Dreblow questioned going back further than one year on receipts to get a better history. Good to know for planning purposes and what the trend is. Mr. Knight will look into doing that. Questions raised on the feasibility of a continuous cart path. Advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Lesar commented further.

Mr. Dreblow has rewritten the RFP for the architectural services for design of the maintenance building at Mee-Kwon. Supervisor Rothstein commented on her tour of Mee-Kwon and the area in question. The new RFP states that the barn will stay and to be evaluated. Potential use of the building is for maintenance. Analysis of existing repair shop and any potential use of it. They modified the RFP to include this.

Questions on the vandalism at Lions Den. Mr. Knight commented.

Mr. Lesar suggested looking at the possibility of purchasing the piece of land in front of the maintenance building. This could be a long range plan.

Mr. Struck reported that he has been contacted by letter, phone and also from WE Energies with regards to farmers driving their equipment on the trails. Mr. Knight, Mr. Tackes and Mr. Struck will look at the trail next week. Also some concern about poison ivy from the Village of Belgium.

Lions Den update – continue chipping trails, looking at putting up a railing along the boardwalk where the culvert had been removed for the wetland restoration.

Transit Items:

Operating/Management/Fiscal Reports: Ms. Seidl now present to give her report. Ozaukee Express ridership was at 6,944 for April, taxi ridership at 5,140 and shuttle ridership at 577.

Ms. Plant from STS also present explained that the drop on cancellations may have to do with education and the difference in the days such as amount of work days, holidays etc. No shows have dropped but the reports don’t show any consistency with any certain person.

Ms. Seidl explained that on the overall year to date information, the cost per trip is showing a slight decrease which is good. Budget wise the taxi is over a little in hours of service. Ms. Plant is working aggressively to stay within budget.

FTA Triennial Review-Corrective Actions: Nothing to report at this time.

Chairperson Kaul request to move ahead in the agenda. There were no objections.

Hetzel Pit Status – Consider DNR Access Agreement: Mr. Dreblow stated that Northern Environmental was starting the process of developing a revised restoration plan. Part of that process is the meeting with the adjacent property owners. He further explained the Winter property appraisal overview. The DNR has the option to purchase 77 acres but must get their board approval. Dale Katsma, DNR Senior Wildlife Biologist now present explained the issue of public access to the portion of the bog that is on the County property. The Winter’s are interested in selling but don’t want public access across their property. Mr. Dreblow stated that in order to accomplish this there is some conflicting issues as the county hopes to be mining the gravel and the general public can not be in the area of the mining. The DNR does not have a problem with the mining as long as there is no impact on the bog. One of the proposals being brought forth is that the DNR would fence off a portion of the bog on the County property providing we allow public access. PRLM Director Holschbach, also present, explained the significance of what the DNR is trying to do. Mr. Struck explained that the bog is in the park and open space plan. Potential acquisition for the natural area was proposed as County acquisition for the southern part and DNR acquisition for the northern part. The DNR is moving towards acquisition are looking for immediate access. DNR is also interested in long term protection, so they have drawn up a Right of First Refusal document.

Mr. Katsma explained the purchase and putting up a fence to separate the future gravel operation from where the public would be allowed to walk in. There would be walk in access only. Parking along side the road. Mr. Katsma also stated that if the state does put up a fence, they would propose some language for maintaining the area north of the fence in the agreement. Discussion on where the fence would be located and concern was raised on visibility of trucks coming out with cars parked on the side of the road.

Mr. Dreblow explains that the DNR is asking for the Right of First Refusal to purchase any or all of the property should the county decide to sell and the Public Access and Fence Agreement. Mr. Dreblow further stated that he has no objections to any of it but in return would like the necessary DNR permits to mine the site.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Rothstein indicating a willingness to cooperate with the DNR to achieve an access agreement to establish public access and a willingness to grant a right of first refusal for the county property known as the Hetzel pit. Vote taken. Motion carried (4-1) Supervisor Uselding opposed.

Chairperson Kaul reverting back to the order of the agenda.

Status of DOT Audit of G & G: Mr. Dreblow handed out the financial summary. A letter was received from the DOT that they made adjustments based on a second appeal by G & G for the 2003 audit. It appears that there is no change to the 2002 amount based on the final appeal. The loss to the county was $113,805. The final appeal for 2003 shows the adjustment of $11,131 which a check was received by the county for the adjustment that was made. Overall loss to the county is $35,369. Looking to recover for 2004 $114,829. The county is still pursuing recovery for all amounts.

Distribution of FTA Transit Assistance Funds for Milwaukee Urbanized Area: Mr. Dreblow explained that the dollar amount is going down and SEWRPC is reexamining the formula. We are expecting to see the preliminary final which has not come in yet. Mr. Dreblow expects that the 2006 allocation will be down. That money is used to pay for our capitalized projects including vehicle maintenance.

CTH I Real Estate Acquisition – Contract Revision for Miesbauer Agreement: Mr. Dreblow explained that we have an agreement with GJ Miesbaur and Assoc. They are the negotiators for the acquisition real estate for the Hwy I project. There will be a public informational meeting for all property owners on June 28 at the Highway Department. The agreement needs to be amended to add two more parcels. Parcel #45 was added and parcel #22 was not originally included. Based on the acquisition contract the total would be $4400. Which brings the revised contract amount from $99,840 to $104,240. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve the amendment of the Miesbauer agreement in the amount of $4400 to include parcels #45 and 22 of the project I acquisition. All members present voting aye. Motion carried (5-0)

Review Status of STH "33" Project-Appearance by Gary Metzer of WisDOT: Mr. Dreblow stated that as a result of a meeting between Sheri Schmidt, Dewayne Johnson, Fred Kaul and himself, was that periodically there would be people from the DOT that would keep the committee abreast of project statuses. Gary Metzer, Project Manager and Aziz Aleiow, Project Development Supervisor of Wisconsin DOT now present to give an update. Mr. Aleiow stated that the purpose of this meeting is to strengthen the communication, listen to the concerns and offer feedback. Mr. Metzer gave a review on the following projects:

STH 167 & Wausaukee Road – This is an intersection reconstruction, hoping to build in summer or fall 2007. There is a two mile section project with the City of Mequon, hoping to do both sections at the same time. Two recommended designs, roundabout or signalized, meeting with locals on May 26th to discuss. Soil borings ordered. Currently working on submitting data for pre-section 106 which is a term for the archeological and history that is done on all projects. Discussion.

STH 32 (Grand Ave. to IH-43) - Pavement reconstruction. Project going well, no issues from a design standpoint. Discussion.

I43 (STH 32 to North Co. Line) – pavement resurfacing. Plans are 30 % complete.

Chairperson Kaul took a moment to present Rob Weter with a pin for 5 years of service with the County.

STH 33 (Milwaukee River Bridge to I43) – Pavement reconditioning. This project is one project but is being looked at in smaller sections. This particular part of the project is a little behind. Currently working with Village of Saukville and consultant to incorporate signals at Foster and Southbound off ramp and restrictive medians at Plaza and Northwoods Road. Discussion. Mr. Dreblow’s raised the issue as to how valid is that agreement. How can the village agree to block a right of way of a roadway which is not entirely under their jurisdiction. The committee strongly voiced their concerns on being left out of projects; the response from Mr. Aleiow was that because of that, is the reason for the DOT being here. The committee further stated that they were not included in discussions of some projects and they should have been. Mr. Metzer stated that was an error on part of the DOT.

STH33 (I43 to South Tower Drive) - Construction on this project will not start until 2010. Mr. Dreblow stated his concerns as it was to start in 2009. He would like this project moved up sooner. Mr. Metzer explained the problem that they have at this point has to do with the real estate that needs to be purchased to move the utility. Mr. Dreblow stated that their time frame of 2 years plus for acquiring real estate was too long. It could be accomplished in one year. Suggestion to them was that they hire real estate people to handle that as oppose to their own staff, set up a timeline and stick with it. The project was originally going to be done in 1998 and has continued to be extended. The County Highway Department held off on maintenance on that segment from the start to the end of the ramps. These ramps are now in horrendous condition. The cost at that time was $350,000 when they held off as the project was supposed to start in 2003. Mr. Metzer stated he hoped it would be done in 2010 possibly 2011. There are issues between the City of Port Washington and the Village of Saukville that can not be agreed upon in a timely fashion. Mr. Dreblow asked if there was any change to the location of the off pavement bike path. The City of Port Washington and the County can not agree on where it should be located Mr. Dreblow would like the DOT to separate the connecting highway project from Summit to Martin and build that now. Then do the state highway project from Martin west. This was proposed to Ms Schmidt and she said no but they would move the project up. Further discussion. Mr. Banton explained the problems with those off ramps and putting money into a project that will be tore up in four years and when looking for answers from the DOT he receives none. Mr. Aleiow would not commit today but will work on Mr. Dreblow’s concern to separate this project. He further suggested to submit project as recommended for 2009. Mr. Metzer said there needs to be a back up plan if this project can not be moved up. Mr. Aleiow made a final statement that he will promise to strengthen their communication and work together on these issues and move that project in advancement. Promise today to correct the situation, we will work together on that and build the trust between the County and the DOT.

Question raised on the rebuilding of Pioneer Road in the Mequon section. The budget is substandard to build a road that does not meet our requirements. Where is the standard with the state that all connecting roads are not the same standard?

July 20 meeting will be the next time the DOT representatives will be there.

Consider Resolution to Convey Land to the Town of Fredonia: Mr. Dreblow stated that Corporation Counsel suggested putting a time period on reversionary clause. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve the resolution and forward it to the County Board. Discussion. This is just the authorizing resolution; Corporation Counsel could come up with a specific legal document. Delete "within five years of the date of conveyance to the Town of Fredonia." Supervisor Uselding offers a "friendly amendment" to the motion to approve the resolution as amended. Supervisor Grosklaus accepts the friendly amendment. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0).

CTH "I" Project – Relocation Order: Mr. Dreblow states that the relocation order defines the limits of the project for the purpose of taking of the real estate to build the job. Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to adopt the relocation order for CTH I. Discussion. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Vote taken. (4-1) Rothstein opposed. Motion carried.

Chairperson Kaul requested to revert back to order of original agenda.

Purchase of Asphalt Mill and Skid Steer Loader: Highway Shop Superintendent Bill Leppla now present stated that $85,000 was budgeted for a Zipper but after looking at a demonstration it was decided that a Skid Steer and Cold Planer would be more beneficial. Mr. Leppla’s recommendation is to go with the low bid from Kelbe Bros. for the New Holland L185 for a cost of $26,240, counter weight options $440, pallet forks $525 for a total cost of $27,205. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Rothstein to authorize the purchase from Kelbe Bros. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Mr. Leppla asked for proposals on the Cold Planer. Mr. Tackes and Mr. Banton looked at what Sheboygan County had and they were not real impressed with it. A demo was done on the Zanetis, of which they were more comfortable with. Mr. Leppla’s recommendation is to go with Miller-Bradford & Risberg for purchase of the Zanetis CP 30" at $15,565 and the Zanetis CP 18" for $13,550, option – electric hand control $550 for a total cost of $29,665.

The Highway Department started the work on the hillside in the North parking lot. All trees have been removed and the stumps will be next. Mr. Dreblow explained the desire to create a plateau area on the top and the wall or possibly two walls on the bottom. Mr. Meaux and Mr. Struck are working with the neighbors to come up with an acceptable landscape plan. Supervisor Uselding questioned when the plan had been changed, final design plan coming to this committee, extra cost and where the extra money will come from. Mr. Dreblow stated that the neighborhood wanted more than just the wall and a slope.

FTA Triennial Review-Status: Mr. Dreblow reported on the FTA (Federal Transit Authority) which was in last week to do their review. The audit is done on 23 different areas. The area lacking in is the need to develop more formalized written policy program. The areas noted were Financial – the use of FTA dollars for capitalized costs, a written policy is needed for how we draw down these ECHO funds. Technical area – the need to develop a written procedure for the administration of grants; conduct an annual review of our contractors. Equipment Records area – conduct an annual inventory of all equipment that was purchased with federal dollars, revise the vehicle maintenance plan. These four areas have a September 25 deadline. Regarding procurement – there has to be a written procurement policy that outlines all the federal requirements for purchases. They also want us to document and monitor the vendor and that they are in compliance. Immediately we also have to offer half-price fare for the shuttle for the elderly and handicap by law. This has been instituted. This audit was for 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Authorize Attendance at FTA Training and UW Center for Transportation Education and Development Seminars: Mr. Dreblow explained that this first one is a two day seminar in Wisconsin Dells. It is Initiatives for Transportation Brokerage and Coordination. Motion by Supervisor Kletti, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to approve Ms. Seidl’s attendance at this seminar. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

The National Transit Data Base, an area that we have weakness in on the financial side in reporting the expenditures and revenues. The National Transit Data Base provides training specifically in these areas. These federal training seminars can be anywhere in the country. Funding comes from the federal government at 80% reimbursement. Discussion. The committee made a recommendation that Mr. Dreblow, Mr. Meaux and Finance Director Lamb go through this information and report on it at the May 18 meeting.

Operating/Management/Fiscal Reports: Update given by Mr. Dreblow on what is being done with the SEWRPC Committee. The money received from the FTA is part of the 5307 funding. Dreblow handed out a summary of the allocations for the last 15 years. SEWRPC is the designated planning agency. Milwaukee County requested SEWRPC to look at the method that was used for allocating funds. There are different tiers of transit operators. A- Milwaukee County, urban areas of 200,000 or more. B- 50,000 – 200,000. C – 50,000 or less. Tier A can only use their funds for operating expenses. Tier B can use them for operating and capital expenses. We can bank what we don’t use of our full allocation so that we can build a vehicle maintenance building. The state would like to see monies used strictly for operating and we would have to go into a pool of applicants for capital projects. Dreblow further explained the summary figures. SEWRPC is looking at long term implications.

Suzanne Plant and Steve Johnson from STS now present. Month of March total bus ridership of 8,268 was stable. The bus and taxi ridership and operations reports were presented and copies of invoices that have been paid. Taxi was down a little from the previous year, there is doubt that last years records are accurate. Ms. Plant explained that we have a new reporting system now that should be more accurate than the system she uses now. Once the numbers for April are confirmed she will go back and check the previous months this year. Taxi report showed 6,523 total trips for the month of March, no shows being 207 and 189 trips cancelled. Discussion. Ms. Plant further explained that there were 214 new clients in April due to advertising. She also explained the on time performances and rides per hour.

Status of Design/Construction of CTH C-Klug Lane to Green Bay Road (City of Mequon Project): Tammy Kuehlmann from Donahue & Associates now present to give an update. The intersection of Green Bay Rd and C is operating very well and the recommendation was to operate as is with no need for a traffic signal. They look at the accidents over the past five years and the finding is that the amount of accidents is very low for that type of road. There will be some right-of-way purchases. The major changes are they are taking the road to a 12 ft. wide lane and a 6 ft wide shoulder with 3 ft. of that paved. Proposing a two lane road, DOT standards do not warrant a four lane road. Discussion. This is budgeted to essentially be that they are going to widen it, take care of some intersections and pave the road. The original budget was $900,000; the delay in this project is that the budget is now at $1.4 million. A major issue that has yet to be resolved is that there are 22 curves of one way or another, 8 of those curves do not meet curved road standards and also a slope on the road that does not meet roadway standards. The intent of this project is not to reconstruct this entire road. Mequon is working with the DOT to justify their costs. Funding is an 80% federal funds and 20% local split.  The committee voiced their concerns and strongly objected to the proposed 6 ft. wide shoulder, instead of the 8ft. wide shoulder that they would recommend.  Chairperson Kaul requested that Ms. Kuehlmann convey this information to the DOT.

Chairperson Kaul request to move forward in the agenda. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to move ahead in the agenda. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Consider Request from Town of Fredonia Regarding Pinnacle Site: This is a request from the Town of Fredonia to construct a town hall. The Pinnacle site is one that they are looking at. Mr. Dreblow explained the use of this sight at the present time. They are interested in a 3 acre parcel of the total 40 acres. Mr. Dreblow met with the Town of Fredonia committee. Mr. Lederer would like to acquire the parcel and would the County consider a reversionary clause that it would revert back to the county if it was not used for public purpose.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to authorize the staff to prepare a resolution and necessary exhibits to allow the county board to act on the request to convey to the Town of Fredonia approximately three (3) acres with the reversionary clause. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

The resolution should be ready for the May 18 Public Works meeting and presented to the County Board at the June 7 meeting.

Chairperson Kaul requested to revert back to order of original agenda.

Information received from the City of Mequon, this intersection was going to be in need of modifications, providing turn lanes and signals. The need for those signals is established because of the expansion of St. Mary’s Ozaukee Hospital. The City of Mequon through their site plan and development, St. Mary’s will be responsible for the costs of those modifications. To deal with the request once the plans for the intersection are developed, the County would have approval authority. The County would work with the City of Mequon and St. Mary’s to accommodate buses at that location. Currently there is a bus stop, but it is in need of some enhancements.

Motion by Supervisor Egelhoff, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to direct staff to work with the City of Mequon to establish bus stops on the NW and SE quadrants of the intersection. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (4-0)

STH 33/CTH LL Access Issues: Mr. Dreblow handed out a drawing showing the proposed roundabout and further explained the project. The existing driveways along 33 would be eliminated, median opening at the ramp. Eernisse and the County would have to work out a temporary easement across County property to the ramp so that the entrance and exit for that property would be at the ramp. The concession to the DOT, the median opening would be temporary until such time as Martin Drive is extended north. Then Eernisse’s driveway would be shifted at that point and the median would go away depending on the use of the County’s vacant land. The initial driveway going into Eernisse, the median opening and the elimination of the driveways on Hwy 33 would be paid for by the State as part of the HWY 33 project. If Martin Drive is extended to the north because of development, the City of Port Washington through its development agreement authority would have that developer pay for providing that roadway and the connection to the Eernisse property and the elimination of the easement area.

Follow up on Northwoods Road - Mr. Dreblow read an email from the DOT Project Manager Gary Metsker stating that the Village of Saukville has agreed to the median and the DOT is done revisiting this issue.

Another segment of the bridge needs to be added to accommodate the slope for ADA. The State has interpreted this as a sidewalk, not a shared ride trail.

4. Selection of design concept for Interurban Trail Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over I43 – Yan Nenaydykh reviewed the project history. The budget for the proposed bridge construction and trail relocation is $1.25 million. If the WE Energies right-of-way was followed and the abutment locations of the old interurban bridge used, the length of the new bridge would approach 750 ft. and cost approximately $2 million. Therefore, other alternatives for the bridge location were studied. The most logical and cost effective site would be an east-west right angle to I-43 and then northerly along the east fence-line of I-43 to the WE Energies right-of-way.

Nenaydykh then presented three bridge design alternatives as follows:

Alternate #1 – A Post-Tensioned Cast-in-Place Concrete bridge (Snake Bridge) with a span configuration of 120’ + 190’ + 120’ for a total length of 430 ft. Estimated Bridge Cost: $1,015,000.

Alternate #2 – A Post Tensioned Cast-in-Place Concrete bridge (Pearl Bridge) with a span configuration of 120’ + 190" – 120’ for a total length of 430 ft. Estimated Bridge Cost: $1,037,000.

Alternate #3 – A Pre-Manufactured Steel Truss Bridge with three equal 105 ft. spans for a total length of 450 ft. Estimated Bridge Cost: $970,000.

The committee questioned Nenaydykh regarding each alternate. Struck advised the committee that the Trail Advisory Council favored Alternate #2. Grosklaus stated that he was in favor of Alternate #3. Uselding questioned whether there is enough budgeted for Alternate #2. Meaux believes that there are sufficient budgeted funds. The committee was advised by Struck, that P.L.R.M. is applying for additional grant funds. Motion made by Supervisor Egelhoff and second made by Supervisor Kletti to approve the selection of Alternate #2 for the design concept for the Interurban Trail Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over I-43, to be built at the location of the final alignment alternate, at a right angle to I-43. Motion carried (5-0).

5. Adjournment - Motion made by Supervisor Egelhoff and second made by Supervisor Grosklaus to adjourn the meeting at 9:30 a.m. Motion carried (4-0).

b. Request for Variance to Access Control Ordinance for property at CTH D & CTH KW in the Village of Belgium. Appearance by Leider – Leider explained where he would like to put the access to the proposed corner lot at CTH ‘D’ and CTH ‘KW’. He provided a drawing and pictures to the committee. He explained that the only reason the lot had not been separate from the homestead is that his father did not want to pay two separate tax bills. Plans had been in place since the 80’s to sell off the corner lot. Dreblow explained that if a variance was granted it would result in a non-conforming access. Leider argued that the lot directly across CTH ‘D’ from his proposed access is already non-conforming.
