CITY OF CHIPPEWA FALLS BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETING MINUTES MONDAY, JULY 13, 2026 – 5:30 PM The Board of Public Works met in City Hall on July 13, 2026 at 5:30 pm. Attending were Mayor Jason Hiess, Director of Public Works Brandon Cesafsky, and Mike Tzanakis. Absent was Vice-President Tom Hubbard and Alderman Tim Normand. Also attending was Alderman Paul Nadreau, Deb Schemenauer of HPE, and resident Mike Dubiel. 1. Motion by Tzanakis, seconded by Cesafsky to approve the minutes of the June 22, 2026 Board of Public Works meeting. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED. 2. Cesafsky provided the background on the process for repaving alleys. He explained that the process is to have property owners abutting the alleys to fill out a petition to repave the alley. At that time, council votes and if there is a majority of the property owners on the petition, the council approves the Engineering Department to add the alley projects to their design schedule. Cesafsky explained that last fall was a bit tight with the schedule so these two alleys are coming in 2026 with the intention to pave them in 2027. Mayor Hiess asked about utilities in the alleys. After checking, Cesafsky stated that he was mistaken and that there were utilities in the Poplar Street alley and that Engineering would assess them during design. Motion by Tzanakis, seconded by Hiess to recommend Common Council approve the petition to repave the alley in Block 25 of Mansfield Addition known as Poplar Street and to have Engineering start the design process for the alley. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED. 3. Cesafsky provided the background on another alley paving petition. This alley has an executed petition with majority of property owners signing it and is located in Block 13 of the Mansfield Addition between Macomber Street, Dwight Street, Huron Street, and Eagle Street. Motion by Hiess, seconded by Cesafsky to recommend Common Council approve the petition to repave the alley in Block 13 of Mansfield addition between Macomber Street, Dwight Street, Huron Street, and Eagle Street and to also have Engineering start the design process for the alley paving. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED. 4. Cesafsky provided some background on the request from HPE for an easement across City owned property south of Olson Drive and east of STH 178. The easement area is 40 ft x 120 ft and it is for an equipment expansion project at HPE. Cesafsky stated that he would work with the City attorney to tighten the scope of the easement and would also verify with Xcel to see if the easement couldn’t be smaller. The value of the easement which was provided by HPE was $1,260 or $0.25/SF. Motion by Hiess, seconded by Cesafsky to have Cesafsky work to tighten up the lease language with the City attorney, make the needed changes to the area after speaking with Xcel, and to recommend Common Council approve the lease for a price of $1,260.

Brandon Cesafsky Secretary, Board of Public Works MEMORANDUM Department of Public Utilities 30 West Central Street, Room 209, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 715.726.2741 | 715.726.2750 fax | www.chippewafalls -wi.gov Date: 8/20/26 To: Board of Public Works From: Director of Public Works & Utilities Subject: Wastewater Sewer Siphons The Engineering Department opened bids for the City of Chippewa Falls Sewer Siphon Project on May 21st at 2:00PM. Bids were received from Haas Sons, Inc. in the amount of $2,095,928.61. After reviewing some comparable projects and contacting a municipality to inquire about their comparable project, the difficulty, and subsurface conditions, the Engineering Department feels like the bid amount is competitive and there is an opportunity for some value engineering to reduce the construction cost of some of the bid items. The Engineering Department recommends that the bid from Haas Sons, Inc in the amount of $2,095,928.61, for the City of Chippewa Falls Sewer Siphon Project, be awarded and constructed this fall.
