COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLEMoved by Petty, seconded by Wedekind to enter Committee of the Whole to discuss an update on theFire Department Project.
Adm. Bradley explained that with the initial design process, they have been touring various Fire & EMSstations. One of the things we have run into with the initial layout of our building is the size of thebuilding at 58,000 sq. ft. By removing training areas, we are now at 55,000 sq. ft. Typically, with astation this size, they start looking at two stations. Verona, the station closest in size at approximately40,000 sq. ft, advised that they wish they had built smaller, and two stations to begin with. Adm.Bradley predicts that at some point in the next 3-5 years we will be looking at adding a substation on the
8 of 195 8
City of Baraboo Council Minutes May 24, 2022 Volume 44 Page #11
east side of town. Based on population, we are right on the verge of two stations. We are not addingany additional equipment, it would be split between the two stations with the same square footage. Atthis time, he is projecting an engine and a tender, which would eliminate one bay at the primary station,and two ambulances at the substation. At the 58,000 sq. ft, we are looking at a project cost of between$16-$17M. The developers believe they could keep it below $20M for two facilities. Our currenthousing study shows that in addition to the current development projects, Redevelopment Resources isprojecting 3,130 total homes over the next 5 years. Based on the average household in Baraboo of 2.3,we are looking at an estimated population increase of 7,000 if the housing demands are met; a 50%increase in population.
Ald. Petty concurs with Adm. Bradley. The expansion on the east side is going to continue to grow andresponse time could become a concern. The facility on the west side will be larger and the main station.He feels is makes sense to build both now with a capitation of $20M for both facilities.
Ald. Sloan questions the satellite station being a pole building rather than a brick building? Adm.Bradley notes that along with the fire apparatus, the satellite station would be staffed with ambulancestaff and therefore would include sleeping quarters and a kitchen.
Ald. Kolb confirms that the $20M does not include a land purchase.
Ald. Hazard recommends that with any land purchase and building design, to plan for expansion.
Chief Stieve noted that if you build a big box station and then estimate another station in 3-5 years, youare going to have part of that big box empty. If you can plan it out between the two stations now, theremight be some scale of economy with a contractor that comes in to build them both.
Ald. Thurow feels that due to the east side expanding, it makes sense given the response time to have astation located there.
Ald. Kent feels there is a redundancy factor to this. If something should happen to one station, we stillhave one available to respond.
Ald. Kolb questioned the urgency to this with site selection of the second station. Adm. Bradleyexplained that some of that data needed to determine the site is already available to us. Ald. Kolb notedthe increase of price to $20M. Where is the additional $5M coming from? Adm. Bradley stated wewould borrow more.
Ald. Ellington questioned if the old facility was an option. Based on staff recommendation, they feelthis is the worst possible location for the second facility.
Ald. Sloan questioned data on the cost of operating two stations. Adm. Bradley does not feel the cost ofoperating will be significantly higher as the square footage will remain the same.
Based on the agreement we have, the City of Baraboo is responsible for the cost of constructing the newstation(s). The operational costs will be shared.
Ald. Sloan questioned where we sit with the budget on one station. Adm. Bradley noted that it wasroughly calculated at $300 per square foot, or north of $16M. For $4M, we won’t have a $5M/$6Mexpense in a few years. They are estimating 35,000 sq ft in the main facility and 12,000 sq ft in thesecond facility.

City of Baraboo Council Minutes May 24, 2022 Volume 44 Page #12
Ald. Sloan noted that a study was done regarding the response time from the original desired location.And now three months later we are saying we are not happy with it? Was the study wrong? Adm.Bradley notes that the study did not take into consideration the growth on the east side. Response timehas not yet changed, but it’s going to change.
Ald. Thurow feels we need to be proactive on this; hopefully saving the taxpayers money in the longrun.
Mayor Nelson questions the anticipation that if the growth does happen, that we wouldn’t needadditional apparatus at that time? If we will need to expand either building, why the concern overempty space? Adm. Bradley noted they would not need to add additional equipment until there is evenmore growth.
Ald. Kolb questioned if we should be concerned about jumping into this without a currentComprehensive Plan. Adm. Bradley notes that what we are planning is consistent with what weenvision in that area.
Chief Stieve notes that the planning of response is currently being looked at. Eventually the goal is tohave this service cross trained.
Ald. Sloan is requesting information on what this is going to do for property taxes. Adm. Bradley notesthat because of the over levy, regardless of what option Council decides, the levy is still going to godown.
It is determined that Council would like to view the proposal for both options; two stations vs onelarger station.
Moved by Kolb, seconded by Kent, to rise and report from Committee of the Whole and return toregular session.
ADMINISTRATOR AND COUNCIL COMMENTSAld. Thurow noted that on Saturday at 9:30am Circus World Museum is holding a memorial service andall veterans or active service members get in free with their families.
Ald. Ellington noted a tree planting on Thursday at Badger in memory of the people that died from thecauses of what Badger did.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT POLICY
MAP-21 and Safety Management Systems (SMS) Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) granted the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) the authority to establish and enforce a comprehensive framework to oversee the safety of public transportation throughout the United States. MAP-21 expanded the regulatory authority of FTA to oversee safety, providing an opportunity for FTA to assist transit agencies in moving towards a more holistic, performance-based approach in Safety Management Systems (SMS). To ensure transit safety and in order to comply with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, Abby Vans has developed and adopted this Safety Management Policy to address FTA regulations established by Section 5329(d) of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 6, 2012. Abby Vans is committed to Safety Management Systems (SMS) as a systematic and comprehensive approach to identifying safety hazards and risks associated with transit system operations and related maintenance activities. Abby Vans has adopted a Safety Management Systems (SMS) framework as an explicit element of the agency’s responsibility by establishing a safety policy; identifying hazards and controlling risks; goal setting, planning and measuring performance. Furthermore, Abby Vans has adopted SMS as means by which to foster agency-wide support for transit safety by establishing a culture where management is held accountable for safety and everyone in the organization takes an active role in securing transit safety. Safety Beliefs
1. Safety is a core business value; 2. Safety excellence is a key component of our mission; 3. Safety is a source of our competitive advantage; our business will be strengthened by making safety excellence an integral part of all our
public transportation activities; and 4. Accidents and serious incidents are preventable and do not occur out of the blue; they are preceded by precursors (events, behaviors, and
conditions) that can be identified, assessed and mitigated through physical, administrative and behavioral defense strategies. Safety Culture Abby Vans believes safety promotion is critical to the success of SMS by ensuring that the entire organization fully understands and trusts the SMS policies, procedures, and structure. It involves establishing a culture that recognizes safety as a core value, training employees in safety principles, and allowing open communications of safety issues. Positive safety culture must be generated from the top-down. The actions, attitudes, and decisions at the policy-making level must demonstrate a genuine commitment to safety. Safety must be recognized as the responsibility of each employee with the ultimate responsibility for safety resting with the CEO of Abby Vans. Employees must trust that they will have management support for decisions made in the interest of safety while recognizing that intentional breaches of safety will not be tolerated. Safety Reporting Abby Vans is committed to the safest transit operating standards possible. To achieve this, it is imperative that Abby Vans has uninhibited reporting of all incidents and occurrences which may compromise the safe conduct of our operations. To this end, every employee and contract service provider is responsible for the communication of any information that may affect the integrity of transit safety. Such communication must be completely free of any form of reprisal.
The City of Baraboo is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from, participation in, denied the
benefits of, or otherwise subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, sex,
age, religion, income status or limited English proficiency (LEP) in any and all programs, activities or services

Public Involvement Plan
The purpose of the Public Involvement Plan is to establish procedures that allow for, encourage, and
monitor participation of all citizens within the City of Baraboo service area including but not limited to
low income and minority individuals, and those with limited English proficiency (LEP).
While traditional means of soliciting public involvement may not reach such individuals, or might not
allow for meaningful avenues of input, the intent of this effort is to take reasonable actions to provide
opportunities for historically under-served populations to participate in transportation decision making
efforts.
Goal
The goal of public involvement is to offer real opportunities for the engagement of all citizens within the City of Baraboo service area to participate in the development of plans, programs, and services.

area residents including, but not limited to, low-income and minority members
of the public.
▪ Employ different meeting sizes and formats
▪ Provide avenues for two-way flow of information and input from populations
which are not likely to attend meetings.
o Make public information available in electronically accessible formats
o Use social media in addition to other resources to gain public involvement

As a recipient of federal financial assistance, the City of Baraboo s required to prepare a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan to address its responsibilities relating to the needs of individuals with limited English language skills. This plan has been prepared in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C 2000d, et seq, and its implementing regulations which state that no person shall be subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Executive Order 13166 “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency”, issued in 2000 clarified Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It stated that individuals who do not speak English well and who have a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English are entitled to language assistance under Title VI in order to access public services or benefits for which they are eligible. While most individuals in Wisconsin read, write, speak, and understand English, for some individuals English is not their primary language. If these individuals have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English, they are considered Limited English Proficient (LEP). The US DOT “Policy Guidance Concerning Recipients’ Responsibilities to LEP Persons” discusses the concept of “safe harbor” with respect to the requirements for translation of written materials. The Safe Harbor Threshold is calculated by dividing the population estimate for a language group that “Speaks English less than very well” by the total population of the county. The LEP Safe Harbor Threshold provision stipulates that for each LEP group that meets the LEP language threshold (5% or 1,000 individuals, whichever is less, of the population to be served) the City of Baraboo must provide translation of vital documents (e.g., Notice of Nondiscrimination, Complaint Procedure and Complaint Form) in written format for non-English speaking persons. Recipients of federal financial assistance are also required to implement LEP plans in accordance with guidelines of the federal agency from which the funds are provided. FTA Circular 4702.1B – Title VI Requirements and Guidance for FTA Recipients provides guidance and instructions for LEP Plan development.
Plan Summary
The City of Baraboo has developed this Limited English Proficiency Plan to identify reasonable steps for providing language assistance to persons with limited English proficiency (LEP) who wish to access services provided by the City of Baraboo. This plan outlines how to identify a person who may need language assistance, how to inform LEP persons language assistance is available, the ways in which assistance may be provided, and staff training.
As a recipient of federal US DOT funding, the City of Baraboo is required to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to programs and activities by LEP persons. This plan includes the following elements:
1. The results of the Four Factor Analysis, including a description of the LEP population(s), served.
2. A description of the following:
✓ How language assistance services are provided. ✓ How LEP persons are informed of the availability of language assistance services. ✓ How the language assistance plan is monitored and updated. ✓ How employees are trained to provide language assistance to LEP persons.
Meaningful Access - Four Factor Analysis
To prepare this plan, the City of Baraboo conducted a four-factor analysis which considers the following:
Factor 1 - Demography
Number and proportion of LEP persons who may be served or are likely to encounter a City of Baraboo program or service.
This plan uses US Census Bureau – American Fact Finder (2011-2015) language data available at the Wisconsin county level. More data is available on the US Census Bureau ACS website.
The US Census Bureau – American Fact Finder (2011-2015) data shows there are numerous languages spoken in Sauk County. Some of these languages include Spanish, German, Russian, Polish, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. After English, the second largest language group is Spanish. The Safe Harbor Threshold is calculated by dividing the population estimate for a language group that “speaks English less then very well” by the total population of the county. The LEP Safe Harbor Threshold provision stipulates that for each LEP group that meets the LEP language threshold (5% or 1,000 individuals, whichever is less), the City of Baraboo must provide translation of vital documents in written format for non-English speaking persons. US Census data shows that in Sauk County with a population estimate of 59,078, 494 people have identified themselves as Spanish speaking and “speaks English less than very well”. This language group is less than the 5% or 1,000 person threshold of the population to be served. This means City of Baraboo is not required to provide written translation of vital documents. All other language groups listed above are also below the Safe Harbor Threshold. This means, at this time, the City of Baraboo is not required to provide written translation of vital documents in these languages. In the future, if the City of Baraboo meets the Safe Harbor Threshold for any additional language groups, it will provide written translation of vital documents in such languages and consider measures needed for oral interpretation.
Frequency of contact with LEP persons. The City of Baraboo provides transportation service in the City of Baraboo. The City of Baraboo reviewed the frequency with which its staff, city council, and its contractor has or could have, contact with LEP persons in the conduct of the City of Baraboo activities. This includes a review of documented phone inquiries, office visits, and encounters at public meetings and community events. Within the last year, the City of Baraboo staff, city council, and its contractor have had (0) zero requests for interpreters and (0) zero requests for translated program documents in any setting. The City of Baraboo staff, city council, and its contractor will be trained on what to do when they encounter a person with limited English proficiency. The City of Baraboo tracks the number of encounters and considers adjustments to its outreach efforts to ensure meaningful access to all persons and specifically to LEP and minority populations of the City of Baraboo’s programs and services. The Log of LEP Encounters is a tool to help track LEP encounters.
Log of LEP Encounters
If a language barrier were to exist, the City of Baraboo would work to provide a reasonable
accommodation. The “I Speak” Language Identification Card listed shown below is a document that can
be used by the City of Baraboo staff to assist LEP individuals. Additional languages can be added, as
needed, to match the demographic changes of the City of Baraboo’s service area. The languages
included in the “I Speak” Language Identification Card below represent many of the languages spoken
within the City of Baraboo service area.

Factor 3 – Importance
Nature and importance of program to LEPs.
The City of Baraboo receives federal financial assistance to provide transportation service in the city of Baraboo, located in Sauk County. The City of Baraboo understands an LEP person with language barrier challenges also faces difficulties obtaining health care, education, access to employment and nutrition meal sites, recreational services, and socialization. Transportation services provides a key role in connecting LEP persons to these essential services.
Factor 4 – Resources and Costs
Resources available and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.
Given the small size of LEP encounters and small LEP populations, full multi-language translations of our programs and services related to transportation services is not warranted at this time. However, this information can be made upon request. The City of Baraboo will contact state and local units of government and community resources for assistance in translation services. Even though the City of Baraboo does not have a separate budget for LEP outreach, it continuously explores ways to implement low-cost methods of notifying LEP persons of transportation services. Outreach efforts include maintaining a website, utilizing social media, developing and printing brochure/materials and having a visible presence in our community (e.g., participating in job fairs, parades, community events, etc.) to promote transportation services. Additional low-cost outreach methods to reach LEP communities include but are not limited to activities such as visiting ethnic
stores/markets and restaurants, community centers, libraries, faith-based institutions and local festivals. The cost is relatively low but the ability to reach the LEP population is high.
Language Assistance Services
Overview - Language Assistance Services
If a person does not speak English as their primary language and is LEP, that person may be entitled to language assistance with respect to the City of Baraboo’s programs and services. Language assistance can include interpretation and/or translation from one language into another language. The City of Baraboo will take reasonable steps to provide the opportunity for meaningful access to LEP individuals who have difficulty communicating in English. The City of Baraboo strives to offer the following measures:
✓ When encountering LEP persons directly, the City of Baraboo staff use the “I Speak” Language Identification Card or posters to identify the language and communication need of LEP persons.
✓ Maintain a Log of LEP Encounters to capture information on the frequency of contact with LEP individuals to determine whether additional language assistance services are needed.
✓ Make translated versions (or provide for the interpretation of relevant sections) of all documents/publications available upon requests, within a reasonable time frame.
✓ Work with translation services as necessary to assist with the development of bilingual outreach materials.
✓ Utilize Wisconsin Relay 7-1-1, the state of Wisconsin resource to assist with communication needs http://www.wisconsinrelay.com/ and http://www.wisconsinrelay.com/features
✓ Utilize online resources such as Google Translate to assist with the translation of documents. The main downside of this approach is accuracy. As such, this option will be used by the City of Baraboo on limited basis. Instead, the City of Baraboo will seek assistance from fluent speakers.
✓ Prioritize the hiring of bilingual staff, as needed.
Public Outreach – Informing LEP Persons of Language Assistance Services
The City of Baraboo uses the following steps to inform LEP persons of the availability of language assistance services:
✓ Posts the Title VI/LEP Notice of Nondiscrimination on its website. The notice includes a sentence written in Spanish providing instructions on how to contact the City of Baraboo to request information in another language.
✓ When encountering LEP persons directly, the City of Baraboo will use the “I Speak” Language Identification Card to identify the language and communication needs of LEP persons. The City of Baraboo may not be able to immediately accommodate or assist individuals self-identifying as a person not proficient in English but will seek means to follow up with the individual to address their needs in the language requested as soon as possible.
✓ Review outreach activities and information gathered from the Log of LEP Encounters on the frequency of contact with LEP individuals to determine whether additional language assistance services are needed.
✓ Develop and maintain cooperative relationships with key agencies/community organizations that serve LEP populations in the area or region. These entities can assist in providing or verifying translations and/or identifying gaps in assistance to persons with LEP needs.
✓ Utilize translation services such a fluent speaker on staff, seeking out language assistance from community organizations, Wisconsin Relay 7-1-1, the state of Wisconsin resource to assist with communication needs http://www.wisconsinrelay.com/ and http://www.wisconsinrelay.com/features
Monitoring, Evaluating and Updating the Plan
The City of Baraboo will review the LEP Plan on an annual basis. Review and updates will include the following:
✓ The number of documented LEP person contacts.
✓ How the needs of LEP persons have been addressed.
✓ Determine whether the need for translation services has changed.
✓ Determine with existing language assistance services are effective and sufficient to meet the
needs of LEP persons.
✓ Determine whether complaints have been received concerning the City of Baraboo’s failure to
meet the needs of LEP individuals.
✓ Sufficiency of staff training.
✓ Review of any new opportunities for LEP communication.
✓ Determine whether financial resources are needed to fund language assistance services.
Training Staff
The following training will be provided to the City of Baraboo staff:
✓ Information on the City of Baraboo’s Title VI Non-Discrimination Plan and LEP responsibilities.
✓ Description of language assistance services offered to the public.
✓ Use of the “I-Speak Card” as a tool to assist LEP individuals.
✓ Documentation of language assistance requests using the Log of LEP Encounters.
✓ How to handle Title VI Non-Discrimination and LEP complaints.

Background: City staff have been in discussion with Enterprise Fleet Management forthe past several months. Under their program, Enterprise coordinates the purchase andsale of vehicles in order to maintain a current and efficient fleet while maximizing resalevalue. They also offer an option to schedule and reimburse all regular maintenance,offering additional savings. The vendor has estimated their program could save the City$1,148,973 over our current fleet management practices over a 10-year period. Thisnumber could fluctuate given market conditions, but we anticipate that the savings justfrom improved fuel efficiency and timely maintenance would be significant.
After lengthy review, department heads have unanimously requested that we moveforward and transition our passenger vehicle fleet to this program. Each vehicle wouldrepresent an individual contract, so we could start with a small sample and increase ourparticipation as it proves successful.
The vendor’s saving estimate is projected on the city’s current fleet of 46 passengervehicles. CDA has requested adding an additional truck for their staff to utilize formaintenance needs. Currently their staff utilizes their own personal vehicles to do this.
This request would be for authorization of the City Administrator and City Clerk to executelease agreements with Enterprise Fleet Management and replacement of up to 47 vehicles.
Fiscal Note: [ ] Not Required [ x ] Budgeted Expenditure [X ] Not BudgetedComments:
Resolved, by the Common Council of the City of Baraboo, Sauk County,Wisconsin:
The Common Council hereby authorizes the City Administrator and the City Clerk toexecute the necessary lease agreements with Enterprise Fleet Management for a total of upto 47 fleet vehicles. If the prices change more than 5% before all leases are executed, theCity Administrator will bring this back to council for further consideration.
Current fleet of 45 NON CDL Vehicles 31% of the light and medium duty fleet is currently 10 years or older
7.5 years is the current average age of the fleet
10 years – time it would take to cycle this entire segment of the City’s fleet at current acquisition rates
Older vehicles have higher fuel costs, maintenance costs and tend to be unreliable, causing increased downtime, highermaintenance costs, and loss of productivity.
17 different vehicle types that cover 45 total vehicles
THE OBJECTIVES
Identify an effective vehicle life cycle that maximizes potential equity at time of resale Shorten the current average vehicle life cycle from 10 years closer to 3.5 years
Provide a lower sustainable fleet cost that is predictable year over year
Significantly reduce Maintenance by up to an estimated 65%
Reduce the overall fuel spend through more fuel-efficient vehicles by an estimated 24% while improving the carbon footprint
Leverage an open-ended lease to maximize cash flow opportunities and recognize equity after sale of vehicles
Review program with dedicated local account team from Enterprise
Additional Benefits Improved Safety and Risk with newer vehicles and up to date safety technology
Less downtime and more time for city mechanics to focus on larger, more expensive vehicles/equipment/tasks
Replacing vehicles more frequently offers the best vehicles for the job and most cost-effective options consistently
Each department will have the perfect vehicle type for the application without having to hand me down
THE RESULTS
By partnering with Enterprise Fleet Management, the City of Baraboo will be better able to leverage its buying power, implement atighter controlled resale program to lower total cost of ownership and in turn minimize operational spend. Leveraging an open-endedlease maximizes cash flow and recognizes equity from vehicles sold creating an internal replacement fund. Furthermore, the City ofBaraboo will leverage Enterprise Fleet Management’s ability to sell vehicles at an average of 115% above the commercial/Black Bookvalue. By shifting from reactively replacing inoperable vehicles to proactively planning vehicle purchases, the City of Baraboo will havea much more sustainable and predictable budget moving forward.

The City of Baraboo is soliciting competitive Proposals for comprehensive design services for a new Fire/EMS Building, including but not limited to: site planning, alternative development, programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding assistance, and construction administration for a new Fire/EMS Building. Interested firms are invited to submit a Proposal. The deadline for submitting Proposals is 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Award of contracts for professional services for any phase of the work does not constitute a commitment for future phases of the work.
PART ONE INTRODUCTION, GENERAL INFORMATION, AND SPECIFICATIONS
1 INTRODUCTION This document constitutes a request for competitive, sealed Proposals from qualified
firms to serve as consultants as well as provide architectural/engineering services. Those services shall include information gathering, analysis, evaluation of data, and preparing reports and recommendations regarding programming, project scope, and project parameters for the location, size, design, and construction of a high quality, state-of-the-art, energy efficient Fire/EMS Building.
2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Baraboo Fire Department and the Baraboo District EMS occupy the former City Hall
building at 135 4th Street. That building, which was constructed in 1967, replaced the original 1927 City Hall building on the same site. The fire apparatus bay was added to the original City Hall building in 1957. To satisfy the need for additional space, the neighboring building was purchased in 1979 and the open space between them was enclosed. These combined buildings, together with a couple of subsequent additions to the rear of these buildings for the Fire Department is what exists today. The Fire Department and Baraboo District EMS also share the adjacent Alma Waite Annex at 120 5th Street, a 50’ x 112’ building.
A summary of the existing space and the corresponding floor plans for these buildings
The need for a new Fire/EMS Building has been well documented over the last couple of decades. In 2007, Zimmerman Architectural Studio and MSA Professional Services completed a Police, Fire and Ambulance Service Facility Study, a copy of which is included as Appendix “C”.
During the interim, the respective space needs for the Fire Department and Baraboo
District EMS were programmed. The most current version of each program is included in Appendix “B”.
The City has reviewed financing options for this project based on an anticipated cost of
$10 Million to $13 Million, which must include all “soft” and “hard” project costs. The City intends to fund this project with a long-term loan from the USDA.

Discussion Items:a. Legal Counsel Options
Ald. Petty explained that he made this request as an attempt to get some structure. There has been conversationregarding revisiting an in-house attorney. Some staff feels it would be more advantageous to have an attorneyhere in the office, at least a few days a week. Contracting for this service gives us access to multiple levels ofspecialties. It is the committee’s recommendation that the attorney review’s the Council agendas and to request
181 of 195 181
an attorney attend all future Council meetings. This can be done by Teams and does not require the attorneybe here in person. The other issue is Council’s access to the attorney. Council members are advised to takeany concerns to the City Administrator or the Mayor for resolution prior to contacting the attorney. This willbe brought back to Committee at a later date.

Powered Up Baraboo is a non-profit looking to increase sustainability and renewableenergy in the City. This specific project would replace all LED lights at the Civic Center for a savings of about$9,000 per year. If Powered Up Baraboo would donate the money for this project, is there someway the Citywould be able to set up a fund for any future energy savings this project creates and use this money to fundfuture energy efficiency projects. These savings could potentially allow for future energy cost saving projectsin other City buildings; it is their goal that the City will realize the benefit of these cost savings. The moneythat is saved with this project would be placed into a revolving fund with requirements as determined by theCommittee. As the donor, Powered Up Baraboo can include a stipulation as to what the funds would be usedfor. As for savings placed in the fund, a future committee could change the requirements of the fund. PoweredUp Baraboo will do some more research and bring this back to the Finance/Personnel Committee.

to the Committee. He said that staff has periodically discussed and there is a consensus that the Water Utility should be compensated for

Information Items
Reports
a. Utility Superintendent’s Report
i. Staffing Updates – No report.
ii. Old Business Update – Nothing has happened with West Baraboo agreement in the last month.
iii. Reports - Peterson said that the City Administrator has inquired above moving all the Public Fire Protection fees to the Utility bills.
He said that presently the City pays $289,000 of the fee and $312,000 is paid for by the utility customers. Peterson gave a very
detailed presentation regarding a memo that was submitted to the Finance Committee. He stated that theoretically the fire protection
would double for residents. He said that at this time, the Administrator is trying to move forward to move that off the City and on to
the utility bills. Peterson estimated increases, a residential could range anywhere from $32 to $80, for non-residential increases
could range from $79 to $3944. He said all the City accounts would go up approximately $13,500. He said that the Utility is the
fourth highest taxed entity within the City. Peterson is praying that we do not do this. He said that it has been less than one year that
water rates increased. He said that originally he was to understand that the $289,000 was going to help offset the 2023 Operating for
the City, at the last Finance Committee meeting the Administrator said that it would not do that, that they would collect the $289,000
and use it for capital projects in the future. Peterson said that he is very passionate about this and really hopes the Committee
reconsiders and do not pass this on to the utility customers. Peterson said that if this goes through it would be moving the amount
from the tax bill to the utility bill, which no one would get credit for. Kolb requested that this be placed on the agenda for the May
23 PSC meeting.
iv. Project Updates –Peterson said that the Utility received a Private Lead Service Grant for $182,500. Peterson said that the auditor was
here, Jan and Kelly did a great job putting the data together, and all data looked good so far. Peterson said that rehabilitation of Hwy
A water tower scheduling is not coming together very well. He said that U.S. Cellular is not able to get equipment off until mid-
June. Televising sanitary sewer lines will be starting in mid-May. Peterson said that the R/R bridge (trussell at 1055 Lake Street). He
said that there is a 12” sewer line under the bridge (attached to the structure) and temporarily during the reconstruction, it has to be
removed, and they are adamant that we will never be able to put it back up again. Therefore, Peterson said that he has to find a way
to get 60,000 of sewage from one side of the bridge to the other. He said if he goes by their wishes, this would happen in the next 60
days. Peterson said that they have been working with Wisconsin Rural Water Association on creating a plan to protect the areas
around our five wells.
b. Street Superintendent’s Report
i. Staffing Updates – Gilman said that as of 3/14, all DPW staff has been operating on a 7:00-3:00 Monday thru Friday schedule. He
said that certain tasks upcoming will be moved to a 6:00-4:00 Monday thru Thursday in order to have the opportunity to utilize the
machinery on Friday.

iii. Project Updates – Gilman said that he had nothing new to report regarding the equipment tracking capabilities.
iv. Informational – Gilman said that in an effort to further reduce costs without a loss of services, we have been discussing methods to
improve efficiency. He said that things being looked at is brush collection methods, refuse/recycling collection, and snow
plowing/removal. Gilman said that he would be checking costs, etc. to see if it would be advantageous to have the brush site open
certain hours. He said that he would be putting together an RFP for refuse and recycle collection and see what prices come back so
that a comparison can be made. He said that plow routes would also be evaluated to determine the most efficient means of
accomplishing the routes to provide the level of safety needed, in the most effective manner. Gilman then discussed the600 block of
Ash Street parking across from the Fire Department. He said the north half of the block has a 4-hour parking and the south half is no
parking anytime due to Fire Department needing space for the vehicle exist and entry of their facility. He said that several times
vehicles are parked beyond the 4-hour limit and there is a 24-hour parking lot across the street; therefore, he is recommending that
Ash Street parking be prohibited from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Kolb asked this item to be placed on the May agenda.
