Discuss 2020 Storm Water Utility Capital Budgets and Projects (Justin Gierach and Dan Gabrilska)
Mr. Gabrilska started the discussion on funded CIP projects:
Oregon Street from 21st to 28th </Storm sewer portion budgeted at $1.6 million
Snell Road reconstruction: Storm sewer portion budgeted at $766,000 for Snell Road, plus Main Street storm sewer at $1.8 million.
Smaller miscellaneous storm sewer projects from street repairs and other utility projects.
Parkway Ave. Detention Basin still on hold but budgeted for 2020 if RR approval can be obtained.
Westowne Basin: land acquisition is budgeted for 2020.
Vegetative planting for Libby / Nicolet and Oshkosh Corp basin.
Citywide SWMP Update: budgeted at $80,000 (total project ~ $165,000 with DNR grant funding the difference.)
Mini-storm projects ($650,000). Mr. Janty asked how many people were on the list. Mr. Gierach estimated about 50 residents which will likely require the full budget amount or, may
exceed the budget.
Ms. Muldoon asked how lower scoring projects get approved. Mr. Clark replied that the score is a compilation of different infrastructure needs. Mr. Gierach added that the scoring is
relative to other projects. Mr. Gierach added that the City Manager does the actual scoring. <
Mr. Janty questioned why CIP is being used for a vegetation planting project. Mr. Janty believes the budget for this work should not be borrowed. Mr. Gierach replied that he understood
the concern and will discuss with Public Works management.
Discussion / Presentation: Overview of City’s Stormwater Management Program (Jim Bachhuber and staff)
Mr. Bachhuber provided an overview of the various levels of stormwater management analyses that occur within the City’s program. The overview started with the broadest scale planning
(City-wide planning) and continued with Basin Planning, CIP / Road Project Modeling, and Site Plan review.
Ms. Muldoon brought up the issue regarding changing rainfall patterns and how the City may incorporate this uncertainty into current and future stormwater modelling and infrastructure
sizing.
Mr. Bachhuber will put together information comparing past and current rainfall design storm information and how the City might move forward properly sizing future stormwater infrastructure.

Update on Inlet Marking (Medallions) Project (Dan Gabrilska)
Mr. Gabrilska provided an overview of the medallions and examples. City staff conducted an informal field survey of medallions and found them fixed to both the curb (concrete) and inlets
(metal). Of the areas surveyed, a high per cent of medallions were found still in place from the locations that were installed in the last couple of years. Older locations <had less
medallions found, and it is presumed these have come off the inlet.
Ms. Muldoon expressed she is not in favor of putting medallions out if they don’t last.
Mr. Clark recommended that the program return to a stencil or some other marking approach.
Mr. Gabrilska stated that this program needed further discussion.
