Management/Financial Reports: There is nothing to report at this time.

Landscape Plan for Green Space at Administration Building North Parking Lot: Mr. Struck updated the committee that the work has been largely completed. The plantings and trees have been put in as set forth in the landscape plan. The cover crop is what is seen coming up this year and the prairie cover will take a couple of years to develop. The grading has been done for the possible observation deck. Mr. Struck further reported that they are maintaining the storm water onsite within the rain garden.

Mr. Struck stated that there is 16 feet elevation difference between the top corner and Mr. Fenney’s property. Mr. Joseph Fenney, a Port Washington resident who owns a home across the street from this area, addressed the committee stating what a wonderful job and the beautiful view that has been created. His request to the committee is for the removal of the two oak trees that were planted or to replace them with shorter trees so as they grow there won’t be an obstruction of the view for himself, the neighbors and people who watch the fireworks from that intersection. Mr. Fenney did provide Mr. Struck with a list of people that he contacted as to whether the county had notified them of this project. Mr. Struck stated that there was an effort to notify the neighbors but not all neighbors were directly notified. There were meetings with the Public Works Committee and the Park and Recreation Board for the City of Port Washington to present the plans. Key officials in the City government were also given plans. There have been communications from some of the neighbors who have supported the plan.

Mr. Struck further reported that the landscaper does not recommend removal and will not guarantee the trees. He further stated that there are ways of managing the trees. The landscaper did suggest some alternatives such as 1) pruning and trying to created the view shed, 2) prune and treat the trees with a growth regulator, 3) remove one and go with a single tree, 4) removal and replacement with another native species which as a note, is not available in the budget.

Discussion on the growth of the trees. Supervisor Rothstein stated the view was not there three years ago. This was done on a temporary basis and that from the beginning this was not meant to be a flat field and that there is an aesthetic component and an obligation to the entire community to do something with this area. Further discussion with Mr. Fenney. Mr. Struck stated that Officer Schmeling from the Port Washington Police Department was kept abreast of the planning as the Police Department’s concern was any low lying shrubs and trees that may block the view of the intersection. Supervisor Grosklaus stated that Mr. Struck and his staff have done a wonderful job and they have addressed the concerns of the City of Port Washington at a considerable expense. The view in question is not blocked as much as it was before. Mr. Fenney stated that he asked Mr. Struck to move the trees before they were planted. Mr. Dreblow stated that this landscaping plan was approved by this committee and that Mr. Struck would not have had the authority to move the trees in question. Mr. Fenney was excused.

Mr. Meaux stated that he received comments from some of the neighbors who liked the trees and another supported the trees but felt pressure to sign the petition.

Chairperson Kaul would like to give Mr. Struck a vote of confidence. Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to confirm the landscape plan as is. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Policy Regarding Private Use of Liquor at Hawthorne Hills Club House: Mr. Lesar explained that he has had requests to allow private parties or golf outing banquets to self-serve liquor to their own guests inside the clubhouse restaurant. Mr. Lesar further stated that some outings or private parties have gone elsewhere because liquor cannot be served. At this time the clubhouse only can sell beer and wine. Corporation Counsel reviewed the request stating that a liquor license is only required if we sell the liquor. These outings or parties would not be able to sell it. Mr. Lesar is recommending a pilot program at Hawthorn Hills for the remainder of 2007. Discussion on including Mee-Kwon.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Rothstein to permit private use of liquor at Hawthorne and Mee-Kwon golf courses for the remainder of 2007 subject to further legal review from Corporation Counsel. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Status of Interurban Trail Bridge Project: Mr. Dreblow reviewed additional statements from the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding the alternate bid. DAAR Engineering responded that the State will fund the lower cost alternate. If you want the higher cost you would have to pay the difference at 100%. Right now the estimates are 100,000-120,000 difference. DAAR also stated that if you redesign the steel bridge and bid it out there is no way for a December/January LET. Their suggestion is to proceed and bid in November 2008 and build in spring 2009. Mr. Dreblow further reported that Bloom Consultants want payment for the additional engineering fees. There is no answer yet as to whether the money has to be paid back if the project is dropped. Discussion.

Chairperson Kaul took a moment to recognize Ronald Moths for 15 years of service with the County. The committee extended their congratulations on a job well done.

Mr. Dreblow stated that this was information only and the next step would be for Mr. Struck to call a meeting of the Trail Advisory Committee to update them and deal with the issues of "what if" project comes in over budget and possible payback. Then they will need to meet with the DOT and Bloom Consultants.

Management/Financial Reports: Mr. Lesar reported that the enterprise fund for the golf courses is right on track and that the rounds of golf and revenue are slightly better.

Mr. Struck stated that the policy for firewood at Waubedonia Park is that it has to be bought onsite because of the Emerald Ash Borer. This policy is also adopted by the Department of Natural Resources at the State parks.

Management/Financial Reports: Ms. Seidl provided the monthly update stating there was one driver incident and two complaints regarding the "no show" policy. Ms. Seidl stated that she has reviewed the no show policy with Specialized Transport Services (STS) as to how to administer the policy and a plan has been created. Mr. Dreblow, Ms. Seidl and Steve Johnson and Suzanne Plant from STS also met with about 15 case workers from Human Services to go over transportation issues. Discussion. The June ridership and operations reports were reviewed for the Ozaukee Express, Shared Ride and the Shuttle. The ridership reports at this time do not include the festivals. Historically there is a slight drop in ridership over the summer months.

Consideration of Change Order No. 2 for Waubeka Shop Regarding Well Drilling and Abandonment of Old Well: Mr. Dreblow reviewed the changes citing the extra depth of the well at a depth of 14.5 feet plus the steel casing and the drill for a total of $3,831. The original intent of this plan was to retain the old well for non-potable uses. There was an exception of standards on the location of the new well and retain the old well. The state approved the location of the new well but not on keeping the old well, so the abandonment of the well is $1,133. Also on the south elevation there was a problem with moisture behind the parapet wall. The additional exterior painting on the sandblasted areas and corresponding elevations is $1,999. For a grand total of $6,963. This is still within budget. Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve change order #2 in the amount of $6,963. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Equipment Purchase-Purchase of Used Truck to Replace Cube Van: Mr. Dreblow explained that this is replacing 1986 Ford cube van. The purchase requested is a 19 ft. 2003 Ford cargo van. This is a used vehicle for $17,000 which also includes a 2500 lb. hydro lift gate. The amount budgeted was $25,000. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to approve the purchase of the 2003 Ford cargo van with lift gate for $17,000. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Replacement of Large Format Printer: The printer is in the County Surveyor’s office. The current printer is outdated and they can not get replacements parts or service. The replacement is HP Design Jet 1000 Plus which includes 3 year next date onsite warranty for $7,955. There are funds available for the purchase in the Surveyor’s budget.

Recommendation Regarding Interurban Trail Bridge Project Alternatives: The sole bid received for the Interurban Trail Bridge project far exceeded the budget and was therefore deemed unresponsive. The engineers on the project presented six alternatives, five of which include putting the project out for re-bid and the last one is to drop the project. The first five alternatives are as follows:

First, re- bid the project with a few minor changes.

Second, narrow the bridge from 12 feet to 10 feet. Mr. Dreblow advised the committee that this is not possible due to the State Department of Transportation requirements.

Third, drop a pre-cast concrete structure and go with a pre-fabricated/pre-engineered steel truss bridge.

Fourth, re-bid with a twelve feet wide structure, cast in place concrete with an alternate bid of the steel truss.

Fifth, re bid with a redesign to narrow both to ten feet wide, cast in concrete with a steel truss, and bid as alternates.

It was also suggested that the approach be changed from concrete to asphalt, which would be done by the Highway Department at a cost savings of $9,000.

There would be additional engineering fees to redesign with no alternate bids would be an additional $47,000.; with alternate bids there would be an increase of $20,000. This would be a total of $67,000. for additional engineering costs. Discussions will be held with Bloom consultants to eliminate these fees if the re bid results in costs that exceed the County’s budget.

The sixth and final alternative is to drop the project. The committee feels this is unacceptable, as the county has come too far along with the project. Ozaukee County may be 100% liable for all costs incurred, which is about $200,000, at the present time. Mr. Dreblow will contact the State to see if Ozaukee County can get a relief date of September 1 for a December/January let date.

Motion to proceed with re-bidding the project with an alternate to include the steel truss with a let date of December/January, made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (4-0)

Approval of Group Use at Covered Bridge and Pioneer Village Out Lot for a Bike for Wisconsin Ride by the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin: The Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin is requesting approval to use the out lots at Covered Bridge and Pioneer Village for their annual Bike for Wisconsin Ride.

Motion to approve the Group Use at Covered Bridge and Pioneer Village out lot for a Bike for Wisconsin Ride by the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin, made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Rothstein. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (4-0)

Management/Financial Reports: Mr. Struck passed around an article that appeared in the News Graphic about picnicking in Ozaukee County. He also reported on the event held at River Edge Nature Center in Newburg on June 24. The County allowed them to use the Covered Bridge Park as a rest stop for their River Edge/River Valley ride. They had 1,233 riders, raising over $32,000. during this event. They wanted to thank Ozaukee County for the use of the park.

CTH W-STH 167 to Glen Oaks – Funding of Reconstruction: Mequon City Administrator Lee Szymborski is now present. Mr. Dreblow, Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Szymborski all met prior to this meeting to talk about the appropriate cost estimate. Based on what they know the cost estimate for the project is $10 million. Mequon has $6.5 million in entitlements to put on the project. Mr. Dreblow is optimistic that there will be enough entitlements, but clarification is still needed from the Department of Transportation (DOT) as to how many entitlements are applied to the Pioneer Road project. Mr. Szymborski stated that once clarification is received there will be a clearer cost estimate to take to the Mequon Common Council. Mr. Dreblow stated that at this time it appears that the City of Mequon has intended to use its $6.5 million in entitlements plus the County’s entitlements of $2.5 million. The Port Washington Road project needs $8 million, which would leave the City with $1 million to apply to the Wausaukee Road project and to self-fund the Pioneer Road project of approximately $900,000. This is the proposal, but note that Mequon has not agreed to this as of yet. Mequon would then convey their jurisdiction of Pioneer Road to the County. There has to be a decision on the small portion of Pioneer Road that is east of I43 to convey that to the County in addition to the rest of Pioneer Road. Chairperson Kaul clarified with Mr. Szymborski that the Council still needs to approve the funding for the Pioneer Road project. Mr. Szymorski stated that was correct. Mr. Dreblow further stated that he needed to provide a detailed work plan as to what the estimate for Pioneer Road includes to Mr. Szymborski. The Port Washington Road project is scheduled for 2009.

Chairperson Kaul reverted back to the order of the agenda.

10:15 AM Supervisor Stern excused.

Approve Purchase of Used Fork Lift: Highway Shop Superintendent Bill Leppla presented the bid analysis for a forklift. Three different bids were received with one not offering any used equipment. $25,000 has been budgeted.

Mr. Dreblow stated he received notification of a public informational meeting regarding the paving of Wauwatosa Road to Pioneer Road scheduled for Wednesday, June 27th 5-7pm at Mequon City Hall.

Mr. Dreblow informed the committee that he had attended a pre-construction conference regarding the Port Washington and Highland Road intersection. This project is scheduled to start July 9th and ending by Labor Day. At that meeting he learned that the Mequon Planning Commission had overruled the city staff and removed the lighting from the plan. Bill Hoppe will take it back to the committee to have it reinstated. Mr. Dreblow reminded Mr. Hoppe that the final set of plans showed there was lighting. These were the plans that were approved by the County.

Mr. Dreblow reported that at the Highway Conference there was discussion regarding the changes in force account work. Force account work cannot be done unless it is entirely done by the County (no subcontracting); this only applies if funds are state or federal monies.

Discussion Regarding Disc Golf Fees at Tendick Nature Park: Mr. Struck provided the background information stating that this came about when there was discussion about doing improvements and regular maintenance. The budget proposal was to consider a pay for play fee with the revenue used to upgrade the course. Tendick is an 18-hole disc golf course. Mr. Struck presented several comparable courses, associated fees and other conditions within the region and State. Mr. Andrews talked about tournament play, minimum maintenance costs and the low impact on the environment. The earlier budget proposal for revenue is $3.00 per round or a $45.00 seasonal pass with anticipated revenue of $10,000 annually. Charlie Radtke, Caretaker of the course at Lime Kiln Park in Grafton spoke in support of pay to play citing revenue for maintenance costs and elimination of uninterested players who tend to not respect the park. Discussion on enforcement. Mr. Andrews also stated that pay to play brings the sport to a higher level and higher maintenance quality. Supervisor Walerstein spoke against the pay for play citing enforcement, no fees charged for other sports such as tennis, basketball, etc. and minimum maintenance costs. Supervisor Wirth stated that there are free courses, but with Tendick the idea is to take the course to a higher lever. Mr. Lesar suggested obtaining sponsorships on the holes as a way to provide off-setting revenues. Supervisor Uselding spoke in support of the improvements, but against proposed fees. Mr. Andrews stated that there is possible funding for course improvements from the disc golfer groups. Discussion on group use at the disc golf course. Mr. Struck suggested looking for donations for the improvements that are going forward this year, track the additional maintenance costs and revisit any vandalism problems.

Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti that there will be no permanent "pay for play" fees. Vote taken. There being a tie vote. Motion fails. (2-2) Kaul, Rothstein opposed.

Motion made by Supervisor Rothstein, seconded by Supervisor Kletti that there will be no "pay for play" fees this year, but to revisit the issue next year with figures on donations received, maintenance costs and any vandalism issues that arose. The majority of members present voting aye. Motion carried. (3-1) Kaul opposed.

11:30 AM Supervisor Walerstein and Wirth excused.

Hetzel Pit – Post Mining Reclamation and Restoration Plan: Mr. Dreblow explained that this was a continuation of a discussion at the last meeting. That in order to do the final reclamation and restoration plan, a final stated land use for the property needs to be decided. Suggestions of the final land use are: 1) public open space/park property – owned by the County or the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), 2) divide off part of the property and convey to the DNR for public access to the bog and sell the remaining parcel or 3) sell the entire property. Mr. Dreblow stated that the costs to date were approx. $27,000 invested in professional fees. The intent, through the sale of the sand that is to be mined, was to recover that amount and also pay for the reclamation and restoration. Supervisor Rothstein reviewed the meetings that were held with the DNR and further stated that the County owns the land and there are no acquisition costs. Supervisor Rothstein would like the property restored with the idea for it to be a public natural area. Mr. Struck stated that this area of the bog itself is part of a County adopted Regional Natural Areas plan and the Ozaukee County Park and Open Space Plan and the County is recommended as an acquiring agent of this natural area. Mr. Struck further stated that there is no park in the Town of Fredonia and all residents should have access to quality parks. Mr. Dreblow stated that the reclamation and restoration plan required by the State and County requires the County to state future land use. Further discussion. Motion made by Supervisor Rothstein, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to designate the Hetzel pit’s future land use as public land. The majority of members present voting aye. Motion carried. (3-1) Kletti opposed.

Courthouse Renovation Architectural Services: Mr. Dreblow reported that there were Requests for Proposals sent out to six firms. A pre-proposal meeting was scheduled and there was no one in attendance. There are two areas requested for the proposal – the outside work to develop plans and specs for tuck pointing on the tower and for the interior work- sprinkling system, lighting, electrical, sound system and interior design services. One proposal was received from The Kubala Washatko Architechts, Inc. (TKWA) This proposal would use subcontractors under the direction of the Project Manager Donna Weiss-Priebe.

The lump fee for the Courthouse tower is $29,500. This would include the preparation of plans and specs for public bidding and prequalification of contractors which is allowed under state law. This proposal is for professional services not construction. Motion made by Supervisor Kletti, seconded by Supervisor Rothstein to approve the spending of $29,500 and to authorize the County Administrator and the Public Works Director to negotiate with TKWA for the interior restoration services. Discussion. Mr. Hicks explained how the wrong components were used in the repair of the entire tower and that the materials used did not let the water out so when it froze it caused lifting. Vote taken on the motion. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Modifications to Disabled Parking at Administration Center: Mr. Hicks presented his request to allow more disabled parking in front of the building and eliminate some of the disabled parking spaces in the parking lot.

The grading plan will accomplish possible erosion issues, safety and native landscaping. The plan will handle the water and there will be minimum maintenance. The landscape will be 80% native prairie with the typography allowing for diversity in the planting. This will be seeded with approximate three year establishment. Motion made by Supervisor Rothstein, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve the concept plan and to request a fund transfer from the General Fund for $16,700.

Request to move ahead in the agenda. There were no objections.

CTH W-STH 167 to Glen Oaks-Funding of Reconstruction: City of Mequon Administrator Szymborski is now present. Mr. Dreblow reviewed the original proposal regarding Pioneer Road and the remaining Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds of approximately $2.5 million allocated against the Port Washington Road project. Mr. Szymborski stated that the Mequon Council had reaffirmed their interest in all three projects including Wausaukee Road. The City is interested in the proposal for Pioneer Road. Mr. Dreblow will provide a written estimate and plan. The City wants to work with the County to get Pioneer Road done in 2007 if possible to show earnest in taking the county up on their offer. There is still a funding gap on Port Washington Road. Mr. Szymborski stated that there are two points to address: 1. What additional STP funds from Pioneer Road can be allocated to Port Washington Road. 2. To clear up the misunderstanding that there is a cap on STP funds that can be allocated to the Port Washington Road project. The city will need to go back to the state to amend the plans to increase their STP funds that they could dedicate. The city will work with Mr. Dreblow to fine tune the numbers.

Mr. Szymborski stated that the Council would like to know if whatever the gap in funding which is approximately $2.2 million, will the County split the difference? The city needs to cost out long term borrowing for all three projects. The city’s proposal is for the city to do the borrowing and the city and county split the difference. Mr. Dreblow stated that the city should pursue with the Department of Transportation (DOT) what their current funds were in 2006. The DOT currently shows Mequon at $6.5 million which are currently assigned to projects. Mr. Szymborski replied to Mr. Dreblow that there were no other projects besides the current three that have been assigned funds. Mr. Dreblow reiterated that he should pursue with the state as there may be more dollars that could be assigned.

A question was asked regarding the billing of the Pioneer Road project. Mr. Dreblow stated that a work plan will be put together that will identify and assign an estimate value. An agreement will then be signed between the county and the city and then work will proceed. Pioneer Road will be brought to the standards that are utilized on a county road. Highway Superintendent Banton provided a description of the project. Discussion. Mr. Banton questioned as to what part of Pioneer Road jurisdiction would be conveyed. Mr. Szymborski stated that would need to be discussed, but he understood it to be that part of Pioneer Road between Green Bay Road and Klug Lane.

Mr. Dreblow stated that the original request was for the county to go into debt on their STP funding and to commit the next cycle out. The county had agreed to go out through 2011. Mr. Szymborski stated that the proposal was brought forward with a 5-4 vote. The negative votes wanted to know what the cost was. He will need to go back to them as their thought was that the city was putting in a lot and could the county participate more. Mr. Szymborski will need to work with the county to look at the numbers and work plan from the county and go back to the Council to show the borrowing. There is a need to educate the Council as to why the county is involved and why there is so much money involved. Mr. Dreblow cited State Statue 83.05 on county roads going through a municipality and what the county and the city’s responsibilities are. The 10% county share is representative of the specifically authorized of the 22 foot center. Supervisor Rothstein stated that Mr. Szymborski should share with the Council and come back to this committee with comments if any. Mr. Szymborski would like to confirm to the Council the proposal, although vague at this time would be that the county and city would split the cost. It is the consensus of the committee that there is not money available from the county to do that so the county will not split the cost.

11:03 AM Supervisors Walerstein and Stern excused.

Request to move ahead in the agenda. There were no objections.

Transit Services Items:

2007 Vehicle Purchases: Transit Program Supervisor Seidl explained the projected costs of the vehicles. There were no vehicles purchased in 2006 and the funds were brought forward.

For National Clean Beaches Week there will be a beach cleanup at Lions’Den. Mr. Dreblow reviewed a list of fairground items that will need attention before the fair begins per request from the fairgrounds committee.

Hetzel Pit-Report on Gravel Quantities from Northern Environmental Study: Mr. Dreblow reported that Northern Environmental had quantified the amount of gravel. There are approximately 32,000 cubic yards of gravel material that can be used for hot mix above the water line and approximately 9500 below the water line. Some of the 32,000 yards is in an area that can be graded but not mined. The next step is to meet with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Northern Environmental to obtain the scope of the permits needed to pursue the sand and gravel above the water line.

Mr. Dreblow stated that he referred to the Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines manual and these locations would not meet warrants for this signage.

Radio System Upgrade-Buildings Contract Payment Request: Mr. Dreblow stated that this has to do with the pre-cast concrete buildings, which were recently fully completed. Henry Erfert from CII is the Construction Manager working for the County who has negotiated an accepted proposal settlement with Old Castle for liquidated damages. The settlement penalized for 24 days late for delivery, a reasonable standpoint of 3 days per building for setup. The settlement proposes to suspend the contract time from December 19 to February 5, charging damages from November 25 to December 19, and from February 5 thru February 14. This would be a deduction of $16,500 from the contract. Recommended fair settlement by CII is $320,791.07 final price. Old Castle has reluctantly agreed to the settlement. Change order #2 would establish the liquidated damage charges. Request for lien waivers from Old Castle and the four sub-contractors before the final check will be released.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to approve change order #2 and approve final payment of $320,791.07 to be released subject to lien waivers from Old Castle and the four sub-contractors. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Request to move ahead in the agenda. There were no objections.

CTH W/Highland Road Intersection Improvements and Approval Status: Mr. Dreblow explained that the committee had approved the proposed improvements to the CTH W/Highland Road intersection and that one of the conditions of the approval was that there would be accommodations for two bus stops that would include a concrete pad and shelter. Mr. Dreblow stated that when the project was bid out the shelters and pads for the bus stops were bid as an alternate. St. Mary’s Ozaukee Hospital has indicated an objection to paying for that improvement.

9:15 AM County Administrator Meaux now present.

Mr. Dreblow stated that Mr. Hoppe is here today to ask the committee to alter their approval to preclude the installation of the slabs and shelters. Mr. Hoppe explained that there are hardened areas on the road for the bus to stop. He further explained that there is no permit, no work has been done and the contract has not been awarded. The cost to put the slabs and shelters would be $20,000. Mr. Dreblow responded to a question that the bus shelters were not identified in the grant application but could do that in a future budget year. Mr. Hoppe stated that he wrote the contract up. Mr. Dreblow said that in the original design the shelters were not in. He contacted Mr. Hoppe who was out of town so Mr. Dreblow called and instructed Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer & Assoc. (GAS) to include it in the bid. Mr. Hoppe stated that St. Mary’s Hospital’s Facility Manager would not pay for those because it is not part of the intersection improvement and it does not accommodate traffic movement as was agreed to. It was put into an alternate bid with the expectation that the County operates the transit system and if the County really wants it they will pay for it. Mr. Dreblow commented that it was never conveyed to the County and they should have been advised of St. Mary’s decision to not pay for them.

Supervisor Rothstein questioned the funding. Mr. Hoppe replied that the cost projection is based on travel movement. The cost being $560,000 with about 9% funding from Advanced Healthcare and the balance paid by St Mary’s Hospital. Mr. Dreblow reviewed his correspondence when the plan was first reviewed on January 19 and his comments that were conveyed. Supervisor Rothstein suggested that the cost be split between the County and City of Mequon for the bus shelters. Street lighting came to question. Mr. Hoppe was not sure if it was included. He was instructed to bring back to the committee the lighting concerns to clarify as Mr. Dreblow stated that the plans showed the lighting. Supervisor Rothstein questioned Mr. Hoppe if he has the authority to agree to a split cost, he replied that he did not.

Motion made by Supervisor Uselding, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to table this until the next meeting. Discussion. Mr. Hoppe stated that the deadline for awarding the contract is the end of May.

Motion made by Supervisor Rothstein, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to authorize the issuing of the permit without the bus shelters contingent upon the City of Mequon agreeing to split the cost of the slabs and the shelters. This would include the cost of the County putting in the slab, purchase of the shelters and installing them with the total cost split in two.

Supervisor Uselding withdraws his motion to table, Supervisor Kletti regretfully agrees. The vote is taken on the motion by Supervisor Rothstein. Majority of the members present voting aye. Motion carried. (3-2) Uselding, Kletti opposed. Mr. Dreblow requested from Mr. Hoppe a final set of plans. Mr. Hoppe stated that the bid documents have not changed. Mr. Dreblow cites his failure to not put in writing his review. There was also a failure to communicate from the design group.

Mr. Hoppe stated that this will be better as after the fact they can have the bus shelters approved by the Planning Commission. Discussion as to what happens if it isn’t approved at the commission. Committee wants Mr. Dreblow to have a written agreement before the permit is issued. Mr. Hoppe agrees to that. Mr. Meaux stated that our County Attorney has advised us that he does not think we need to have Planning Commission approval. Mr. Hoppe stated that from an engineering aspect he totally agrees that it does not need Planning Commission approval.

Chairperson Kaul asked Mr. Hoppe about the Pioneer Road and Hwy W project as the committee hadn’t heard anything from the City of Mequon. Mr. Hoppe stated that he is still waiting for an estimate from the County. Mr. Dreblow stated that an estimate was provided, Supervisor Rothstein stated that she also talked with the City Administrator Lee Szymborski about the $900,000 and that has been out there for about two months. Mr. Hoppe stated that he has not received anything as to where the County is applying their entitlements. Supervisor Grosklaus reiterated that the County is giving all of their entitlements to Mequon through 2011 with conditions regarding Pioneer Road. Mr. Hoppe stated that he was waiting for documentation that the County was doing Pioneer Road and the estimate. Supervisor Grosklaus stated that the County has been waiting for Mequon to agree to the conditions. Supervisor Rothstein stated that she talked with Mr. Szymborski, left something with Mayor Nuernberg, and called Alderperson Pam Adams 6-8 weeks ago. Ms. Adams did not know anything about it but stated that the City Engineer is up to date and has the latest information. Discussion on who should have called whom. Supervisor Rothstein directly asked Mr. Hoppe if Mr. Szymborski never conveyed this information to him about the conversation she had with Mr. Szymborski about the estimated cost of $900,000 for the County to do the work. Mr. Hoppe replied that he never got any documentation of what the cost of the project is. Mr. Hoppe further stated that Mr. Szymborski told him two days ago that he got an estimate for Pioneer Road of $1,000,000. Supervisor Rothstein stated that this committee made this offer in February and that she talked with Mr. Szymborski about two months ago. Mr. Dreblow also provided the time scenario that transpired with this information.

Port Washington Shop Proposed Resolution of Petroleum Environmental Cleanup Fund (PECFA) Claim: Mr. Dreblow explained that several years ago the county had a leaking underground storage tank at the gas pumps. Graef, Anhalt, Schloemer & Assoc. (GAS) was retained to tear out the old tanks and excavated the contaminated soil. There was a plume of contamination in the groundwater, the committee had GAS put in monitoring wells. It was all PECFA eligible. The county paid the deductible of $10,000 and then about 5% of all these costs. The work was stopped as too much money had been spent and the clean up was not getting done. Same thing was done at the Waubeka site. Years later when closure requirements were easier Northern Environmental was retained and through natural attenuation the Waubeka site was closed. These old sites have been turned over from the DNR to the Department of Commerce (DOC). That resulted in a lower threshold of what is acceptable for closure. Beth Erdmann from the DOC contacted Mr. Dreblow about closure. She stated that the records through 1995 showed the county spent about $107,000 of clean up money on the site with about $81,000 reimbursed thru PECFA. This should be an easy closure, no deductible just 5% of the closure costs which are estimated to be about $5,000-$10,000. Mr. Dreblow contacted Northern Environmental to have them contact Ms. Erdmann and do a scope of work to find out what it would take to close this site. Mr. Dreblow received a proposal from Northern Environmental anticipating project completion within four weeks after receiving authorization to proceed. There are still five wells there. This is a two step phase. Northern Environmental would prepare a report to DOC on the wells, collect water level measurements and prepare a summary letter of what has been done to date. This first step estimated cost of $2200. PECFA will reimburse the costs and the estimated local share would be about $300 of which is 5% of usual and customary charges.

Motion made by Supervisor Rothstein, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve the proposal from Northern Environmental for $2,200 to develop the work plan for environmental cleanup at the Port shop PECFA site. Discussion. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Mr. Dreblow stated that the rooms are reserved for the summer conference. The depot improvements are done in Cedarburg and a temporary employee for the Account Clerk II on medical leave will start on June 4 until about middle of August.

Mr. Meaux stated that the SEWRPC Regional Use Plan for 2035 has been received and a presentation will be given on June 20 to the County Board.

Next meeting date: June 7 at 8:00 AM

Mr. Knight requested approval for a $25,000.00 fund transfer for additional money to purchase a pond liner. He presented three proposals for a pond liner.

Update on Status of Approvals for the Interurban Trail Bridge over I-43: County Board Chairperson Brooks stated that Mr. Meaux, Mr. Dreblow and himself met after County Board to go through all the information. The results being that the state was not providing all the information to the staff. The first issue that came up was that the Board taking action to use STP funds now made it a state let project which would put the project to be built in 2008. Second issue was that the DOT would not approve the amendment for engineering additional costs of approx. $40,000. Third issue was the local share of $200,000 of work by the highway department was not going to be allowed by the state.

Board Chairperson Brooks, Mr. Meaux, Mr. Dreblow and Mr. Struck met with DOT representative Jay Neider, representatives from Dahr Engineering and others. In discussing the first issue clearly it was a state LET project but the DOT will make an exception and shorten the review process. Mr. Dreblow publicly complimented the DOT in coming forward in a cooperative manner in an effort to get this project done and for the effort that County Board Chairperson Brooks put forth to deal with this. Regarding the second issue the State still believes that Bloom Consultants, Inc. should have designed it to the DOT standards. Mr. Neider agreed to approve the amendment for the $40,000 to Bloom Consultants with the exception that all the extra work that needs to be done because of the state LET project will have to be done in a very short period of time. The third issue discussed was whether the project could be split into different sections so that the Highway Department could do the local share. The project could not be split but that Mr. Neider assured them that he would carve out our $200,000 of work that the county would then be able to do even if it exceeds the cap.

The county agreed to stay with the original design of 12 feet wide. Mr. Struck is meeting with Bloom Consultants this morning to tighten up the amendment with regards to the structured deadline, scope of work and the dollar amount which is capped at the dollar amount of the amendment that was previously approved.

Discussion on appeal and alternate funding sources. Corporation Counsel Kenealy now present gave an opinion on private funding and what would happen if project was abandoned.

Supervisor Rothstein acknowledged the work that Board Chairperson Brooks, Mr. Meaux, Mr. Dreblow and Mr. Struck have done. Publicly thanking them and the representatives at the DOT for their assistance in putting this together.

Supervisor Rothstein made several comments on the lack of language in the agreement that would protect the county. Also stating in the covenant regarding transfer of property in section 4.02, the first line with these corrections…

"Owner shall have the right to assign or transfer all of any portion of its their interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement or in the Property to a third parties party acquiring an interest or estate in the whole of the Property or any portion thereof."

Supervisor Rothstein further stated that the owner can not sell a portion of the property without coming back to this committee before the sale to show that he is retaining the responsibility of closing it. Further on in the same paragraph…

If all or any of the portion of the Property is transferred by Owner to any person or entity, the transferee shall succeed to all of Owner’s rights, and the transferee shall automatically assume all obligations of Owner hereunder which relate to the property."

Again Supervisor Rothstein stated that the language must be changed to reflect the interest of the County and that the owner maintains the responsibility of paying for the closing of the median. Ms. Roat stated that she will define the process more clearly on the covenant. Further discussion on who needs to be involved in the recommendation to close. Mr. Dreblow also recommended changes to the reconstruction boundary description. Ms. Roat stated that under "Premises" the second paragraph could read…

"On September 21, 2006, the Public Works committee of Ozaukee County approved project plans for the reconstruction of STH 60 from CTH W to the I-43 ramps and CTH W from STH 60 to ½ mile north (the "Project Plans"),"

Mr. Dreblow further stated in the latter part of the same paragraph…..

"subject to the provision that the median north of Hwy 60 and east of the Property remain open until it becomes an access safety problem, pursuant to the following resolution is ordered to be closed by the Public Works Committee:"

Supervisor Grosklaus stated that the county needs to make the final decision. Mr. Dreblow questioned Ms. Roat as to the understanding that was stated regarding the recommendation from both the Village of Grafton Traffic Safety Committee and the Ozaukee County Traffic Safety Commission. Ms. Roat stated that it was her understanding the both committees had to recommend closing. Discussion.

Supervisor Rothstein reiterated again that the county is not protected in this agreement and that the agreement needs to be revised. Further stating that this committee reserves the right to have the County Corporation Counsel review the document before this committee will vote on it.

Chairperson Kaul requests to revert back to the original order of the agenda. No objections.

Discussion on a potential project bridge across a ravine at the Lions Den. Mr. Struck reported that a possible Wisconsin Coastal Management grant opportunity may enable this to be done.

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

Request for Additional Funding for CTH W-STH 167 to Glen Oaks: Mr. Hoppe thanked Mr. Struck on his assistance with the City of Mequon’s floodplain maps. Mr. Dreblow gave a brief history on the project and the insufficient dollars that are not there to fund the project at this time. Due to time, expense and design changes this has now become a more expensive project. An additional $4 million in STP entitlements is needed to allow the project to proceed. Under the agreement signed by Mequon and the County when the project was initiated, it was Mequon’s obligation to provide the STP entitlements to qualify the project for 80% funding. The remaining 20% was to be divided equally between the County and the City of Mequon. Mr. Hoppe further explained that Mequon does not have the additional Surface Transportation Program (STP) allowance balance to keep the project eligible. They would like to propose that the County put their STP Urban allowance balance to the Port Washington Road project. Mr. Szmboryski stated that he would propose that when the improvements to Pioneer Road between Klug Lane and Green Bay Road are completed that, as Mr. Dreblow requests, the jurisdiction would then be conveyed to the County. It has been a long standing recommendations from SEWRPC in the Jurisdictional Highway Plan that Pioneer Road should fall under the jurisdiction of one government entity. When the state conveys a road to the county, then the county brings it up to like standards and the county would ask the same of the city. Mr. Hoppe stated that he is prepared to go with the 12 foot travel lanes, 3 foot paved shoulder and 4 foot gravel shoulder and the turn and bypass lanes.

Mr. Dreblow stated that the Port Washington Road project has been pulled from the 2007 bidding schedule and possibly 2008. Real estate acquisition is almost finalized. The County’s STP balance would be just under 3.3 million dollars through 2011. Although the County’s entitlements are not committed to a specific project, there may be some competing needs for the entitlements.

Mr. Hoppe stated that the City of Mequon will send a formal letter of request for the use of the County’s remaining and future STP balance allowance.

Mr. Dreblow reiterated that the city could adjust their funding on the Wausaukee Rd project in order to be able to do the Pioneer Road project to the typical county standards and then the city would convey the jurisdiction of Pioneer Road to the county and in return the county would commit STP funds for the Port Washington Road project. This would have to go to the city council by resolution for approval, and a formal agreement reached between the City and County. The county will need to submit their letter requesting the future funds to the state before the end of the current year if the project is to proceed.

Mr. Szymborski and Mr. Hoppe will return at the November 16 meeting after all their necessary city meetings.

Chairperson Kaul reverts back to original order of the agenda.

There was also an issue with a stolen farebox money. Mr. Johnson reported on hours and the possible increase proposed in the 2007 budget. Mr. Dreblow stated that the 2007 budget request does reflect a minor increase in hours.

WURTA Conference: Mr. Dreblow stated that he and Ms. Seidl had attended the Wisconsin Urban & Rural Transit Association conference and gave his report. This conference is held jointly between Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Public Comments/Correspondence/Communications: There were no public comments at this time.

Mr. Dreblow reminded the committee of the Fall Commissioner/Committee Meeting for Southeast Region on October 31, 2006 in West Bend.

Mr. Dreblow stated that tentatively at the October 5 meeting will be a discussion on funding for the Port Washington Road project with City of Mequon Administrator Lee Szymborski and Engineer Bill Hoppe.

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

Additional Bus Service to Bay Shore Area: Ms. Seidl explained this request for this particular property and the request she had from the Continental Developers and Village of Grafton regarding the Costco property bus stop inclusion in the site plan. Ms. Sullivan explained the development going on at Bayshore Mall. They are hoping to attract workers and shoppers from Ozaukee County. Discussion. Mr. Kletti questioned as to whether or not we would have to add more buses. Possibly one or two depending on the frequency, this has yet to be worked out. Mr. Dreblow stated we would be eligible for some aid but there would probably still be a local share. Potential user study would have to be done, how much of a service, marketing, starting and stopping spots all have yet to be looked at. This is informational only.

Informational item- Mr. Dreblow reported on the results from the auction.

Request to move ahead in the agenda by Chairperson Kaul. No objections

Review of Status of Hetzel Pit Approvals, Review and Approve Agreement with Northern Environmental for Wetland Permitting Activities: Mr. Dreblow attended a Town of Fredonia Board meeting & public hearing on September 14. On September 7 the Town Planning Commission reviewed the conditional use permit and recommended for approval to the town board. The town conducted a public hearing on the zoning and later in the meeting initially approved the conditional use. The conditional use and rezoning has now been approved for mining. The next step is to get the county permit from Planning, Resources and Land Management and the permit from the DNR. If there is any mining being done within 300 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the bog a permit is needed. Also any mining that will result in a body of water in the area of 300-500 feet of the ordinary high water mark requires a permit. As part of the plan we will wind up with a body of water so that will require a permit. Mining can start now as a body of water will not be created at this time. Mr. Dreblow has asked for a proposal from Northern Environmental for the wetland permitting. This proposal for a cost of $9,000 to prepare the erosion control management plan which is a required submittal, the chapter 340 permit application and then ultimately do the joint wetland application. Discussion. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to approve the agreement with Northern Environmental for wetland permitting activities for $9,000. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Chairperson Kaul reverts back to the agenda order.

Review of Status of DOT Projects, appearance by WisDOT Representative Aziz Aleiow and Mohammad Hossain: Mr. Aleiow and Mr. Hossain, now present to give an update on current projects. Mr.Hossain explained the Wauwatosa Rd/Hwy 181 project from Mequon Rd to Pioneer Rd. This is a City of Mequon connecting highway resurfacing project with 2-12 ft. lanes and 5 ft. shoulder for bike accommodation. Construction to begin in spring 2009. Mr. Grosklaus raised the question as to the four lanes which were originally promised. Mr. Dreblow stated that with the repaving of the road it will have a 12-15 year life so four lanes would not be forthcoming. They will be looking at a traffic study to see if a signal is warranted at Highland. Mr. Dreblow recommends that the City of Mequon convey the jurisdiction to the DOT as a requirement of doing this project. Discussion. Mr. Dreblow also questioned a stormwater management program that the Village Thiensville will be doing that will require raising the grade of Wauwatosa Rd. and is that being coordinated with the project. They are not aware of it but will look into that.

Mr. Hossain went on to explain the next project on Wauwatosa Road/181 from Western Road to Bridge Road. This involves reconstruction of the intersections of Western and of Bridge. There will be a shared use path along west side of STH 181 from Prairie View access to Western and along east side of STH 181 from Western to Bridge Rd. Construction to begin in 2010. Discussion. Questions regarding funding issues would have to be addressed at another meeting.

Mr. Dreblow stated that there is a maintenance standard that the counties have to adhere to in maintaining the state roads and the state pays them for doing this. This same standard is not applied to the municipalities that the state pays to maintain State roads under the connecting highway designation. As a result the roads are not being maintained properly by municipalities, with no standards enforced therefore creating deteriorating conditions for motorists.

The final project is STH 33 from Newburg to Saukville Road. This is a resurfacing preventative maintenance project with construction to begin in spring 2008. Mr. Dreblow stated that traffic coordination will be needed with this project and the county project on Hwy I and 33. The railroad crossing will be replaced so there may be a need for some detouring.

Mr. Aleiow stated that the cable guard project on I43 should be completed in mid November. There will be $20,000 of stock material for the county for repairs if the railing is hit.

Review of Agreement to Allow Median Opening on CTH W North of STH 60: Discussion only. No agreement at this time.

Next meeting date: October 5 at 8:00 AM

Adjournment: Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to adjourn. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0).

Approve Courthouse Fund Raising Event-December 2, 2006: Mr. Meaux explained the fund raising event, which is similar to the one held last year.

Operating/Management/Fiscal Reports: Mr. Knight gave the financial report. He also stated that the County tournament was very successful. Motion made by Supervisor Kletti, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to accept the Parks financial report. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Discussion/Action: Resolution 06-27 – Controlled Substances Testing Facility Review Practices: Mr. Dreblow stated that this was the policy that was adopted at a previous meeting and now it needed to be in resolution format. The FTA requires the policy to be adopted by the County Board. Supervisor Uselding questioned what the Highway Dept. pays for their testing. Mr. Dreblow will provide that information. Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to adopt Resolution 06-27 as presented. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Operating/ Management/Fiscal Reports: Mr. Dreblow stated that he received correspondence from Supervisor Wirth commenting on his satisfaction of the taxi service. Mr. Wirth spoke with the driver and there were some questions regarding the use of snow tires. Mr. Dreblow will respond to that.

Transit Program Supervisor Seidl, now present, explained a request she received from Milwaukee County in regards to splitting the cost on a grant for providing services to MATC in Mequon. About 2 years ago MATC approached Ms. Seidl and Mr. Dreblow expressing great interest. Options were presented to them and more information was requested. At that time there was no follow up by MATC. MATC has approached Milwaukee County now requesting service to the Mequon campus. It looks like this may cost an extra $240,000 per year. There is a grant that would cover 50% of the costs up to 3 years beginning in Jan. 2007. This is not incorporated into the 2007 budget. Mr. Dreblow feels that there needs to be further evaluation of this request. The local share would have to either be paid for by the county or MATC. This is informational only at this time.

Chairperson Kaul requests to defer the next item on the agenda until later. There were no objections.

Access Control Code Interpretation Regarding CTH T Access for Prairie View Subdivision: This is a subdivision in the City of Cedarburg. About 6 months before the adoption of the access control ordinance the property was divided and an area was separated from the division that was around the homestead. Now they are subdividing the property and a street needs to be put in. There is one problem with an adjacent property owner regarding their driveway. With regards to our ordinance the driveway would have to be moved in order for a street to be put in. The developer has tried unsuccessfully to work with the landowner. Discussion. Motion made by Supervisor Kletti, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to deny access to the developer. Further discussion. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

CTH W-STH 167 to Glen Oaks, Request for Traffic Signal at Eastbrook Drive: Mr. Dreblow stated that he has received more letters requesting a signal light at this intersection. He spoke with the engineer Paul Stankovic from Kapur and Assoc. who responded in a letter stating that a traffic signal investigation study report would cost about $3,000. This would determine whether a signal is warranted at this time. There are several things that can occur after construction that may not warrant a signal. Motion made by Supervisor Kletti, seconded by Supervisor Grosklaus to wait until after construction is finished based on recommendation by Kapur and Assoc. Design Engineers to defer any further pursuit until such time as roadway is built. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Chairperson Kaul request to revert back to the deferred item in the agenda as all parties concerned are now present.

Review of Conceptual Design for CTH W from STH 60 to Approximately 2500 Feet North, Including Determination Regarding Median Openings: Now present at this time are Rick Schmit, Gene Schmit, Sue Barker from Crispell-Snyder, Dave Murphy- Engineer from Village of Grafton and John Bieberitz – Engineer with Traffic Analysis and Design, Mr. Murphy explained that the traffic study was now completed on the Target/Home Depot Center and the new pavilion across the street. Mr. Bieberitz who is with a consulting firm that was hired by the Village of Grafton to do the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Costco/Continental Properties development gave a brief summary of the results of the TIA, which includes recommendations to close the first median openings both north and south of STH 60. Based on the information received as a result of the TIA, a traffic signal is warranted at the Target/Home Depot Center entrance, if the first median opening south of STH 60 were closed. Mr. Dreblow questioned as to whether this signal could be incorporated into this project so it can all be done at once. Mr. Murphy stated that it would have to be taken back to the Village Board for funding and for concurrence on the signal. A recommendation from this committee would be needed. Question was raised on the money that was budgeted for this and if more will need to be budgeted for this addition to the project for the county share. Mr. Dreblow stated that the original estimate of the project, which at the very beginning did incorporate a signal at the Target/Home Depot center, was approximately $230,000, which was the 10% county share of the project. The money would be carried over into the 2007 budget. Mr. Murphy stated the if there was a need for more funding of the county share the village could do the project and allow the county to budget any balance into the 2008 budget.

Mr. Dreblow stated that given the development of the Schmit property across from the Target /Home Depot Center and commercial/residential development to the south he supports the closing of the southern median, installing a traffic signal and incorporating that into the project. Mr. Bieberitz stated that there would be installation of the signal and no other modifications to that particular intersection. A capacity analysis was also done which showed operational problems for left turn if no signal is installed. Discussion.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to close the southerly median opening and to include a traffic signal at the first median south of Hwy 60 as recommended in the Traffic Impact Analysis. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0).

The second issue on this project is the closing of the first median north of Hwy 60. Mr. Murphy stated that the traffic impact analysis showed that this median should be closed at this time. Mr. Murphy gave a review of the project and Mr. Bieberitz explained the turn lanes. Discussion on acquiring more right of way in order to make the road wider and not have to close the median.

10:02 AM Supervisor Wirth now present.

The Village Board approved building the roadway cross section as the TIA stated except that they wanted the medians kept open to serve the Gall gas station entrance and exit. Discussion as to what criteria would be used to close the median and who would make that determination. Mr. Bieberitz explained that there are also safety issues and that the intersection and median spacing has to be designed safely. They would keep it open for a business but if it becomes an access safety problem it will be ordered closed by the village or county at the expense of the business owner. Atty. McIlnay made some further comments with Ms. Barker responding regarding the widening of the road. Discussion. Mr. Gall, the property owner, addressed his concerns with the internal traffic problem that will occur on his property as a result of closing the median. Further discussion on the possibility of a right in only entrance for another location of a driveway on Hwy 60.

Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Uselding to leave the median north of Hwy 60 open at this time. Upon the recommendation of the Village of Grafton Traffic Safety Committee and a recommendation from the Ozaukee County Traffic Safety Commission, the Ozaukee County Public Works Committee would make the final decision to close the median at some future date and provided there is a closure agreement with the current and any future property owner to pay all costs incurred to close the median. Vote taken. (4-1) Motion carried. Rothstein opposed.

Atty. McIlnay would like to look further into the right in only installation of a driveway on STH 60 to replace the median opening on CTH W. He would like the design engineers to evaluate that alternative. Mr. Dreblow questioned as to who would prepare the necessary documents that would be required per the action of the committee. Atty. McIlnay said that he would provide a draft document at the September 7 meeting for the committee to review and approve.

10:25 AM Supervisor Richart excused.

Chairperson Kaul reverted back to the original order of the agenda.

10:40 AM Supervisor Wirth excused.

Future Rehabilitation of Hot Mix Plant: Construction Superintendent Banton and Foreman Bill Janeshek now present. Mr. Dreblow stated that this was the start of planning to keep the hot mix plant functioning. About a year ago an estimate was given at about $1.7 million to fully replace the plant. Mr. Banton explained that he had a representative come from Astec to go thru the plant to analyze what is there and fix or replace what is needed. The dryer is bad, bag house just needs to have ductwork upgraded, and the drag and silo is in good shape. Need to replace the bins, weighbridge, dryer, burner and some computer updates to utilize computer system to its capacity. Working on fixing the control house by staff. The cost of this came to $586,540. Discussion on funding and contracting it out. An analysis done two years ago indicates that the County should continue to maintain the plant. This is informational only at this time.

Chairperson Kaul asked if the committee would like to reaffirm their commitment to keep the hot mix plant going. All were in agreement.

Hetzel Pit Status: Mr. Dreblow attended the Town of Fredonia Planning Commission meeting where they unanimously voted in support of granting a conditional use permit and rezoning the property. The reclamation plan has since been completed and submitted. The next step is to go before the town board to rezone the property and approve the conditional use permit. Mr. Dreblow further stated that a DNR permit will still be required and that Northern Environmental has started this application process.

Interurban Trail Bike Bridge Status: Mr. Dreblow stated that Corporation Counsel sent a letter to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to find out what the appeal process is for the determination that the bridge had to be treated like a sidewalk. Correspondence has also been sent to Congressman Sensenbrenner. Mr. Meaux explained that there was no CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation Air Quality) money available from an existing project. The only alternative would be to apply for the money in the next year.

Early Retirement Policy: Mr. Dreblow explained the county retirement policy. A long-term employee is requesting a deviation from the policy. Discussion. Motion by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to recommend to the Administrative Committee that for the purpose of early retirement supplement the individual should be considered eligible based on cost savings. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0)

Next meeting date: September 7 at 8:00 AM

Adjournment: Motion made by Supervisor Grosklaus, seconded by Supervisor Kletti to adjourn. All members present voting aye. Motion carried. (5-0).
