CITY OF CHIPPEWA FALLS BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETING MINUTES MONDAY, MAY 11, 2026 – 5:30 PM The Board of Public Works met in City Hall on May 11, 2026 at 5:30 pm. Attending were Mayor Jason Hiess, Vice-President Tom Hubbard, Director of Public Works Brandon Cesafsky, Alderman Tim Normand, and Mike Tzanakis.

MOTION CARRIED. 2. Cesafsky provided the background on the request to amend the ordinance for the City owned parking lot on the north side of Spring Street, between Bay and Bridge Streets. The request came from Teri Ouimette at Main Street after hearing local businesses were having a hard time with the 2 hour parking with longer appointments at the hair salon and tattoo shop. The ordinance drafted by Engineering follows the request from business owners and would change the lot to a 4 hour parking lot. Motion by Hiess, seconded by Hubbard to recommend Common Council approve an ordinance changing the parking lot on the north side of Spring Street, between Bay and Bridge Streets, to a 4 hour lot. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED. 3. Cesafsky provided the background on the ordinance to change parking restrictions in front of the Market on River building along River Street. Cesafsky explained that the Market on River recently completed a large concrete sidewalk project which eliminated a driveway and also provided a large bump out which now gives Island Street drivers better vision of River Street Traffic. The no parking would go from a 136 foot distance down to a 73 foot distance from the west corner of the building. Motion by Normand, seconded by Hubbard to recommend Common Council approve the ordinance changing the no parking area in front of Market on River from 136 feet from the east side of the Island Street right-of-way to 73 feet from the east side of the Island Street right-of-way. All present voting aye. MOTION CARRIED. 4. Cesafsky provided an update for the South Avenue Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP) funding that City Engineer Bill McElroy applied for and was awarded.

Plan performance with the above influent was stressing at times with recent changes in the Chippewa Falls system. Fats Oils and Grease (FOG) service area in 2025 was reduced to the 54729 zip code to reduce the amount that our facility was receiving from surrounding communities. The FOG that were were taking at the plan was causing issues with equipment and the maintenance of that equipment. After making the change to the FOG service area, we saw a large improvement. 6. Pretreatment 6.1 Did your facility experience operational problems, permit violations, biosolids quality concerns, or hazardous situations in the sewer system or treatment plant that were attributable to commercial or industrial discharges in the last year? Yes Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Chippewa Falls Wwtp Last Updated: Reporting For: 6/4/2026 2025 No If yes, describe the situation and your community's response. 6.2 Did your facility accept hauled industrial wastes, landfill leachate, etc.? Yes No If yes, describe the types of wastes received and any procedures or other restrictions that were in place to protect the facility from the discharge of hauled industrial wastes. The City received 117000 gallons of leachate in 2025. The plant was monitored for our discharge limits and although we had difficulties at times, managed the load of leachate.
