ROLL CALL Members Present: Nick Ledin, Garner Moffat, Tylor Elm, Joe Radtke City Staff Present: Chris Carlson, Kara Czapinski, Jim Paine, Dave Pollock, Others Present: Brent Gunderson, Shelley Nelson, Dan Olson, Bill Fennessy, Jeff Goetzman 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 2.1. Public Works Committee (Meeting held April 2, 2026) MOTION by Moffat, second by Elm and carried to approve the minutes from April 2, 2026. 3. OLD BUSINESS 3.1. Discussion of a report submitted by Raftelis Financial Consultants evaluating the acquisition of utilities operated by Superior, Water, Light & Power. Mayor Paine reported that there have been no major updates since the last meeting concerning the evaluation by Raftelis Financial consultants on the acquisition of utilities, and this topic will continue to be a regular agenda item for updates. He announced plans for a series of public information sessions, including town halls and informal debates, to communicate findings to the public, with an initial emphasis on the water utility due to the complexities and incomplete nature of the electric and gas reports. Paine noted that the acquisitions of electric and gas utilities are more intricate than that of water, citing factors such as supply sources, the scale of the network, and infrastructure that extends beyond city boundaries, which contribute to a longer timeline for the final reports. The committee deliberated on whether to conduct joint or separate public meetings for all three utilities, with Paine underscoring the importance of obtaining council input and additional information before making any recommendations. 3.2. Recommendation to approve Chapter 58, Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials Ordinance revisions. Director Carlson indicated that the revisions to the ordinance clearly specify that polystyrene foam is not recyclable and detail which plastic numbers are excluded, thereby ensuring the city's recycling program complies with state regulations. These modifications primarily serve to clarify existing documentation and do not change the current recycling practices. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 2 of 4 *Attended virtually MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to approve Chapter 58, Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials Ordinance revisions. 4. NEW BUSINESS 4.1. Election of Officers 4.1.1. Election of Chair MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to nominate Nick Ledin as Chair. 4.1.2. Election of Vice-Chair MOTION by Ledin, second by Elm and carried to nominate Garner Moffat as Vice-Chair. 4.2. Recommendation to award the Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements project to Pember Companies for $678,221.60. Dave Pollock indicated that the project entails the replacement of approximately 1,800 linear feet of deteriorating sanitary sewer across four segments. This initiative faces several challenges, including narrow streets, limited right-of-way, and the need to maintain traffic flow. MSA Professional Services has proposed a trenchless pipe bursting method, which is advantageous for minimizing pavement disruption and is well-suited to the area's clay soils and curved sewer alignments. During discussions, members expressed concerns regarding the choice between patching small pavement areas and implementing full overlays. Staff clarified that any patched sections would be restored to meet city standards, with the possibility of future overlays if necessary. The committee also reviewed competitive bids and noted that the chosen contractor employs a different subcontractor for the pipe bursting process. Staff assured that this subcontractor has a history of satisfactory performance, alleviating any concerns about the selection. The new pipes are anticipated to have a lifespan of 50 years or more, significantly improving upon the original infrastructure, which dates back to the 1920s, and building on recent sewer replacements in the vicinity following previous collapses. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to award the Woodstock Sanitary Sewer Improvements project to Pember Companies for $678,221.60. Bill Fennessey left the meeting at 5:22 p.m. 4.3. Recommendation to award Sanitary Sewer Televising Services 2026 Sanitary District 1 & 2 to Absolute Pipe for $37,488.00. Pollock indicated that the regulations set by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources mandate an annual inspection of 7.2 miles of sewer lines, with a comprehensive review required every ten years across all districts. This particular contract pertains to a section that is due for inspection and is also affected by forthcoming bridge construction. The committee PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 3 of 4 *Attended virtually deliberated on the possibility of conducting these inspections internally; however, staff highlighted that only minor, reactive inspections are feasible in-house due to constraints related to equipment and staffing. MOTION by Moffat, second by Ledin and carried to award Sanitary Sewer Televising Services 2026 Sanitary District 1 & 2 to Absolute Pipe for $ 37,488.00. 4.4. Recommendation to award the 2026 Sidewalk Replacement contract to Duluth Concrete LLC. for $270,816.15. Director Carlson announced that the contract encompasses sidewalk replacements throughout the city, focusing on key connections at Hill Avenue and Henry Cohen Drive, along with enhancements to bus stop accessibility. The selection of sidewalks for replacement is based on their condition ratings, the need to close gaps, prioritization of high- traffic areas, and feedback from the public. Residents are encouraged to report any sidewalk issues for evaluation. Additionally, a separate initiative will tackle tripping hazards by grinding down uneven sidewalk edges, particularly in the Tower Avenue vicinity, with a contractor set to undertake this work during the summer. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to award the 2026 Sidewalk Replacement contract to Duluth Concrete LLC. for $270,816.15. Brett Gunderson left the meeting at 5:27 p.m. 4.5. Recommendation to approve the revised State Municipal Financial Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the 2032 Tower Avenue Improvement project from N64th Street to Belknap Street. Director Carlson announced that the 2032 project encompasses a mill and overlay, concrete repairs, sidewalk replacements, and upgrades to traffic signals, with the agreement subject to ongoing modifications as design specifics are finalized. This state-managed initiative will see the Department of Transportation oversee the bidding and construction phases, while the city will bear certain expenses related to parking lanes, sidewalks, and landscaping, with cost distributions being adjusted as the project evolves. Public feedback highlighted worries about the worsening condition of roads and the possibility of accelerating repairs ahead of bridge closures. City staff addressed these concerns, outlining the difficulties in hastening the work and the potential for transferring financial burdens from the state to the city. Mayor Paine acknowledged that an interim project could be feasible if conditions deteriorate further, but emphasized that it would necessitate prioritization and budget adjustments from the council, noting that the city has previously undertaken similar projects when required. MOTION by Moffat, second by Elm and carried to approve the revised State Municipal Financial Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the 2032 Tower Avenue Improvement project from N64th Street to Belknap Street. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 5/07/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 4 of 4 *Attended virtually 4.6. Recommendation to approve the State Municipal Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for Carbon Reduction Program funding to support Emergency Vehicle Preemption. Director Carlson announced that the city has secured a grant from the Carbon Reduction Program, which will cover the materials needed for Emergency Vehicle Preemption at 21 intersections. The city will finance the installation of the required signal equipment. This arrangement will guarantee full preemption for police and fire vehicles, with secondary priority access granted to transit and other eligible vehicles. MOTION by Elm, second by Moffat and carried to approve the State Municipal Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for Carbon Reduction Program funding to support Emergency Vehicle Preemption. 4.7. Notice of Surplus Equipment Auction Sales. – Received and filed. 5. RECURRING BUSINESS 5.1 ESD Director’s Update – Received and filed. ESD successfully managed a significant rainfall event without any overflows, thanks to efficient emergency operations and infrastructure management. The primary concern arose at Elm St., where a deteriorating culvert led to localized flooding. Plans are in place to replace this culvert in the upcoming budget cycle to mitigate future issues. Director Update – 5.1.1 Bids for the replacement of lead service lines in the Midtown area are due May 8th. This project operates under a tight schedule, necessitating direct approval from the council by May 31st to meet grant stipulations. 5.1.2 Tower Avenue, situated between Belknap Street and North 28th Street, is progressing well ahead of the planned overlay. The plan is to have the contractor address the lead service line installation before proceeding with this work. 5.2 Future Agenda Items 5.2.1 Discuss Water Utility Acquisition 5.3 Confirm the next meeting date as June 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 204 of the Government Center. 6 ADJOURNMENT Councilor Ledin announced the meeting adjourned at 6:01 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Kara Czapinski Memorandum of Recommendation DATE: February 25, 2026 TO: Mayor Jim Paine and the Common Council FROM: Chris Carlson, Assistant Public Works Director RE: Ordinance Revision: Chapter 58 Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently conducted a periodic audit of our recycling program. Part of the audit was a review of our Chapter 58 recycling ordinance. The stated purpose of Chapter 58 Article IV is to, “stress source reduction, recycling and composting in a cost effective and efficient manner as the highest priorities in the development of an effective recycling program”. As a result of the review, the DNR suggested a few changes with Chapter 58 Article IV. The changes bring our ordinance into agreement with current state requirements. The requested changes are included in the red-lined ordinance draft following this memo. The revised ordinance also includes minor formatting and grammatical clean-up performed by staff. The two substantive changes requested by the DNR to the proposed ordinance are: 1. Sec. 58-105 – Correction of statute code reference from Wis. Stats. § 287.05 to 287.11. The latter is the correct code reference governing effective recycling programs for municipalities. 2. Adding references to foam polystyrene packaging (Styrofoam) into the ordinance noting that it is not a recyclable material and is to be placed in the garbage. Adoption of the proposed Chapter 58 ordinance revisions will satisfy the DNR’s audit and ensure that our recycling ordinance remains contemporary and enforceable.

Sewer Use Ordinance 4.1 Did your community have a sewer use ordinance that limited or prohibited the discharge of excessive conventional pollutants ((C)BOD, SS, or pH) or toxic substances to the sewer from industries, commercial users, hauled waste, or residences? Yes No If No, please explain: N/A 4.2 Was it necessary to enforce the ordinance? Yes No If Yes, please explain: We had two industries who exceeded conventional pollutants and who were charged surcharges. We had one industry who was in violation of local limits, resulting in a Notice of Violation but corrected the action immediately. In addition, we had one industry who failed to report monitoring results which resulted in significant non-compliance. 5. Septage Receiving 5.1 Did you have requests to receive septage at your facility? Septic Tanks Holding Tanks Grease Traps Yes Yes Yes No No No 5.2 Did you receive septage at your facility?

Plant performance does not appear to be affected by hauled waste as it is a small percentage of the total loading to the plant. It is possible that toxic agents may enter the treatment process through hauled waste but there were no proven instances of this in 2025. The hauled waste station contains the waste, aerates it, and bleeds it into the main plant flow. 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? Page 2 of 32 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Superior Sewage Disposal System Last Updated: Reporting For: 5/22/2026 2025 Yes No If yes, describe the situation and your community's response. N/A 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. We accepted hauled industrial waste from a remediation project after they completed an application and provided representative lab results. In addition, we accepted industrial waste from a facility via hauler after lab results were provided and approved for discharge. We also received sewered leachate from Duluth Superior Landfill (an industry monitored through the City's Industrial Pretreatment program) and the City's municipal landfill. The City's municipal landfill controls flow during rain events (as needed) and monitors its leachate and discharges through its own DNR permits.

Maintenance activity calculations are based upon a sanitary and combined sewer system of 145 miles and 2545 manholes. Significant rain events are taken into consideration when evaluating the reported number of Basement Backup Occurrences and the reported Number of Complaints. During significant events the design capacity of the sewer system is exceeded. The system meets the performance standard as stated in the definition for Number of Complaints. Calls received from customers during these periods are not related to a performance issue. Additionally, during these events it is indeterminate whether a basement backup or complaint is generated due to surcharging of the municipal collection system, due to private plumbing concerns or due to a combination of both. For these reasons of performance and accurateness, the Basement Backup Occurrences reported and the Number of Complaints reported excludes those occurring during significant rain events. 3. Performance Indicators 3.1 Provide the following collection system and flow information for the past year. 23.32 Total actual amount of precipitation last year in inches 31.73 Annual average precipitation (for your location) 145 Miles of sanitary sewer 16 Number of lift stations 0 Number of lift station failures 0 Number of sewer pipe failures 0 Number of basement backup occurrences Page 27 of 32 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Superior Sewage Disposal System Last Updated: Reporting For: 5/22/2026 2025 13 Number of complaints 3.70 Average daily flow in MGD (if available) 7.12 Peak monthly flow in MGD (if available) 244.8 Peak hourly flow in MGD (if available) 3.2 Performance ratios for the past year: 0.00 Lift station failures (failures/year) 0.00 Sewer pipe failures (pipe failures/sewer mile/yr) 0.01 Sanitary sewer overflows (number/sewer mile/yr) 0.00 Basement backups (number/sewer mile) 0.09 Complaints (number/sewer mile) 1.9 Peaking factor ratio (Peak Monthly:Annual Daily Avg) 66.2 Peaking factor ratio (Peak Hourly:Annual Daily Avg) 4. Overflows LIST OF SANITARY SEWER (SSO) AND TREATMENT FACILITY (TFO) OVERFLOWS REPORTED ** Date Location Cause Estimated Volume 0 8/4/2025 1:00:00 PM - 8/4/2025 3:30:00 PM 2335 Missouri Avenue Plugged Sewer 75 ** If there were any SSOs or TFOs that are not listed above, please contact the DNR and stop work on this section until corrected. What actions were taken, or are underway, to reduce or eliminate SSO or TFO occurences in the future? Staff were dispatched to the SSO location, an easement Jetter was used to open the line and clear grease blockage. This line has since been televised and added to routine cleaning program. 5. Infiltration / Inflow (I/I) 5.1 Was infiltration/inflow (I/I) significant in your community last year? Yes No If Yes, please describe: The City of Superior collection system includes a publicly separated sanitary system as well as a combined sanitary and stormwater system. In the separated sanitary system the public sources of inflow were addressed by sewer separation, but private sources were not. Consequently, the City experiences significant contributions to inflow and infiltration from private sources such as foundation drains as well as from aging, non-watertight building sewers. 5.2 Has infiltration/inflow and resultant high flows affected performance or created problems in your collection system, lift stations, or treatment plant at any time in the past year? Yes No If Yes, please describe: 5.3 Explain any infiltration/inflow (I/I) changes this year from previous years: Efforts as described below continue to identify, measure, and mitigate the impacts of inflow and infiltration to the collection system. 5.4 What is being done to address infiltration/inflow in your collection system? Page 28 of 32 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Superior Sewage Disposal System Last Updated: Reporting For: 5/22/2026 2025 Control of inflow and infiltration begins at the design level and continues through the construction, inspection, maintenance and operation of collection system facilities. Project planning and specifications for City construction projects adhere to applicable state and federal rules governing sewer construction methods including State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway and Structure Construction as well as conform to Standard Specifications for Sewer and Water Construction in Wisconsin. Plans and specifications for construction include inflow and infiltration prevention measures to exclude clear water from the sewer system. Construction activities are inspected and monitored to ensure compliance with plans and specifications throughout the construction phase. CCTV inspection of the circular combined and sanitary sewers less than or equal to 48 inches in diameter once every 10 years and inspection of all combined and sanitary manholes once every 15 years coupled with a smoke testing and flow monitoring program all work to investigate and identify areas of I/I needing to be addressed. A Stormwater Flood Control Program (SFCP) initiated and managed by the City is part of a long term approach for planning how the City manages stormwater runoff in an effort reduce inflow and infiltration and to protect public health, safety, and the environment. The program addresses private sources of inflow and infiltration by educating property owners and providing technical and financial assistance with removal of clear water sources from the sanitary sewer. Flow monitoring and analysis of collection system capacity coupled with a developing hydraulic & hydrologic model demonstrate where inflow and infiltration sources are significant and are impacting sewer capacity. Information provided by the model will aid in planning of sewer system modifications. Public education programs are designed to inform of the environmental and fiscal impacts of inflow and infiltration. Programs include, but are not limited to, rain barrel workshops and rain garden demonstration areas.

The SSO issued from MH060523 on 8/4/2025 after a grease blockage occurred in the sewer segment downstream. The affected segment was cleaned using an easement jetter and debris was removed from the site. To prevent reoccurrence, this line segment has been added to the routine grease cutting list. Also, in early 2026, Collection System staff inspected the line that was involved in the SSO and found a utility penetration that had caused damage. This may have been a factor in the SSO, but we are unaware of when the utility damage occurred. The utility contractor is currently planning to repair the damage section of pipe the week of May 24th, 2026.
