ANNOUNCEMENTS
- None
PUBLIC APPEARANCES
- None
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES AT 655 SUNSET CIRCLE
S. Gehin:
- Request has been submitted by the property owner at 655 Sunset Circle for approval of two
additional driveway entrances at the northwest corner of the site. Property Owner, Alex
Miskella, was present to answer any questions from the Committee.
- Has reviewed existing site conditions and location of proposed driveways and doesn’t
believe improvement to have be impairment and/ or nuisance to neighbors.
- Glad to see eastern most driveway was moved away from east lot line, creating a greater
buffer from neighbor’s driveway.
Discussion:
- Enough space with the amount of frontage & many homes in the area have multiple
driveway entrances
- Street is very narrow to begin with
- Standard driveway apron
- In the future does the code need to be amended to special assess driveway entrances that
are greater than one?
Lefebvre/Collison moved to approve the permitting the additional driveway entrances at
655 Sunset Circle. Motion carried.
SANITARY SEWER UTILITY RATE INCREASE
S. Gehin:
- The sanitary sewer utility rate increase for 2025 was discussed at the May 19th
Finance/Personnel Ad Hoc Committee meeting. The consensus of the committee was to
recommend that the Village Board approve an increase to the rates effective with the June
2025 usage billed in July.
- In 2024, Ruekert-Mielke was contracted to perform a rate study of the Allouez sanitary
sewer utility. Prior to this, the sewer utility rates were last updated in 2022.
- The rate study completed by Ruekert-Mielke proposed an increase to rates along with a
recommendation to consider yearly and/or every other year rate increases.
- The consensus of the Village Board last year was to implement annual rate increases.
- The proposed rate increase was reviewed.
*The above results in a monthly increase of $2.32 for a customer using an average volume of
3,000 gallons of water per month.
Discussion:
- Fixed vs. volume charges (NEW Water)
- Smaller annual increases as opposed to large increases in future years
Collison/ Lefebvre moved to recommend to the Village Board approval of the proposed
sanitary sewer rate increase. Motion carried.
AL-25-01 STREET RECONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER
a. IROQUOIS AVE. STORM OUTFALL REPAIR
S. Gehin:
- A repair to the Iroquois Ave. storm outfall at the Fox River is required. The deteriorated
outfall varying in pipe size dates back to the railroad.
- The movement of pipe at an existing joint has led to an existing sink hole near the edge of
the Fox River Trail.
- In an attempt to make the repair ahead of the upcoming Fox River Trail resurfacing project
(June 9th) and for safety reasons, staff moved to change order storm sewer project to an
existing Village Contract.
- Quotes from three Village Contractors were obtained. DeGroot Inc. provided the lowest
quote in the amount of $67,853.
Lefebvre/Genrich moved to recommend to the Village Board to award the Iroquois Ave.
Storm Outfall Repair Project to DeGroot Inc. in the amount of $67,853 and to change order
work to the AL-25-02 project. Motion carried.
HAVEN WAY CONDOMINIUM ENGINEERING AGREEMENT
S. Gehin:
- Owners of the property will be constructing 48 condo units at the corner of Libal Street and
St. Joseph Street
- The proposed sanitary sewer and watermain to be owned and maintained by the Village.
Owner agrees to transfer and dedicate ownership to the Village after the successful
installation of the utilities.
- Storm sewer to be private.
- Gave an overview of the agreement, owner responsibilities, and layout of the property.
Proposed: Allouez NEW Water Total
Fixed charge/month (based on ¾ meter) $4.50 $9.00 $13.50
Variable (volume) charge/1,000 gals $2.81 $5.65 $8.46
Current:
Fixed charge/month (based on ¾ meter) $4.50 $8.00 $12.50
Variable (volume) charge/1,000 gals $2.56 $5.46 $8.02
WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM – WATER VOLUME
S. Gehin:
- The Water Department is currently monitoring flow data for a potential leak in the system.
- The difference in volume between the bulk water purchase and the billed consumption
shows signs of a significant leak and/or leaks in the system.
- The leak has not come to the surface yet.

2025 Water Utility Rate Case
In the coming weeks the Village Water Utility with the assistance from a local consultant will begin a
water rate study. The rate study will determine if water rates are adequate to meet utility operational
and maintenance costs. Outcome will likely lead to an application to the Public Service Commission to
raise rates.
A study is necessary due to the increased cost to operate the Village’s water distribution system and
repair of aging infrastructure. The last water rate case was completed in January of 2022.
The sanitary sewer and stormwater utility rates were last raised in June of this year and May of 2024,
respectively.

LIBAL STREET RESURFACING PROJECT – ENGINEERING SERVICES
The Village of Allouez has received a Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) for the resurfacing of
Libal Street from LeBrun Street to Hoffman Road. The estimated construction cost is $1,424,100 with
federal funding of $1,139,280 (80%) and local share of $284,820.
The program funding does not cover design, r/w acquisition and public utility improvements (sanitary
sewer and watermain).
In general, the proposed street project includes:
• Mill and resurfacing of the existing pavement
• Spot repair of defective curb and gutter and sidewalk
• Upgrading of curb ramps to ADA standards
• Spot repair of storm sewer
• New sidewalk along the east side of Libal St. from LeBrun St. to Longview Ave
• Addition of marked bike lanes. Parking on one side of the street will be eliminated to
accommodate the marked bike lanes.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) has been sent to a handful of civil engineering consultants to provide
design for the federally funded street improvement project. Those firms include Ayres, JT
Engineering, Graef, Mead and Hunt, and RaSmith. The RFP is attached for your review.
A selection committee will rank the firms in order of preference based on qualification criteria, not by
price. The consultant’s price will be negotiated after the selection process.

Libal Street
LeBrun St to Hoffman Rd (CTH XX)
Village of Allouez, Brown County
Anticipated Design Start Date:
October 2025
Anticipated Design Completion Date:
January 2028
Project Purpose and Need
Existing Facility
Libal Street is a 2-lane urban collector with a pavement width of 41-feet. The existing right-of-way width is
80 feet. Libal Street was last improved in 2003 from LeBrun St. to Vande Hei Rd and in 2005 from Vande
Hei Rd to Hoffman Rd (CTH XX). The existing asphalt surface with areas of longitudinal and alligator
cracking, is in fair condition with a PASER rating of 6. Overall, the existing concrete curb and gutter is in
good condition. There is existing sidewalk on the westside of street from LeBrun St. to Longview Ave. and
on both sides of the street for the remainder of the project. The existing curb ramps do not meet ADA
requirements. Existing Bike accommodations are not currently marked. There are no railroad facilities
located within 1,000 feet of the project limits.
Proposed Improvement
To extend the service life of the existing pavement it is being proposed to mill and resurface the 0.7 mile
street segment. To improve pedestrian and bike accomodations, new sidewalk is being proposed on the
eastside of the street from LeBrun St. to Longview Ave. and parking on one side of the street will be
eliminated to allow for marked bike lanes. The street lighting system to remain without change. Aquistion of
temporary limited easements in total of less than ½ acre is anticipated for the project.
This project has received State Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding through the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation and Brown County MPO. This project has a scheduled let date of 3/14/2028,
with final PS&E of November 1st, 2027.
Project Description and Scope of Services
The Village-selected consultant will provide preliminary and final design services for this improvement
project. The project will follow the Wisconsin DOT Local Program design and PS&E process.
The consultant should develop a design proposal with an understanding of the following. The selected
consultant to review and verify design considerations for the maintenance of the pavement, street widths,
sidewalk and curb & gutter repair, bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.
General Design Considerations
LeBrun St. to Hoffman Rd. (CTH XX)
To prolong the service life of the existing pavement, it is the Village’s intent to mill and resurface the
existing asphalt (2-inches) and spot repair defective curb and gutter. Some base patching of the
lower layer of asphalt is anticipated.
The existing sidewalk constructed in the 1970’s is in fair condition. The structural condition and the
ADA accessibility of the sidewalk to be inspected. Moderate spot repair will be required.
To improve pedestrian and bicycle accommodations new sidewalk on the eastside of the street from
LeBrun St. to Longview Ave along with marked bike lanes is being proposed. Non-complaint curb
ramps to be improved to ADA requirements.
The proposed typical section includes a shift of the pavement crown, 12-foot lanes, marked bike
lanes, and on-street parking (limited to one-side).
The existing storm sewer and storm laterals installed in the 1970’s to be analyzed for integrity, with
moderate spot repairs expected. The Village to televise the existing storm sewer and storm laterals
for Village and Consultant review. The location of the storm laterals as provided for in the televising
to be shown and labeled on the plans. The hydrologic and hydraulic condition of the existing storm
sewer from Kenny St. to Longview Ave. to be analyzed.
The existing watermain and sanitary sewer relayed in 2002 and 2005 are assumed to be in good
condition. A review of the sanitary sewer and watermain to be completed by the Village during the
design. The selected consultant to incorporate the adjustment of manholes and valves into the
project plans and specifications. The location of existing sanitary and water laterals to be shown
graphically on the plans. An as-built to be provided describing location of sanitary laterals.
Topographic Survey and Base Mapping
The survey to include the location and depth of the existing watermain (Village to provide depth of
watermain), storm and sanitary sewer. The existing watermain, storm and sanitary sewer to be
drawn and detailed in the profile view of the existing base mapping.
An inspection of the existing storm manholes and inlets to be completed to include picture, structure
number, pipe sizes and condition of structure. A copy of the Village’s inspection report to be
provided.
Utility Coordination
Existing private utilities shall be identified, and utility relocations avoided when possible. The
consultant will perform all necessary utility coordination.
Right-of-Way
Acquisition of temporary limited easements is anticipated for the project. The consultant will provide
necessary plat and right-of-way acquisition documents. The Village plans to contract directly for real
estate negotiation services.
Environmental Documentation and Agency Permitting
The consultant will make all coordination with local, state, and federal agencies as required for this
type of project. This may include County and/or local zoning, WDNR, USACE, and other agencies.
Deliverables
The selected consultant will complete these deliverables following the typical WisDOT PS&E process:
topographic survey, design reports, utility coordination, agency coordination and permitting, right-of-way
plat, preliminary and final plans, public involvement meeting(s), project specifications, and construction
estimates.
Final plans are expected to include: title sheet, general notes, construction details, erosion control plans,
temporary traffic control and detour plans, road plans, catch basin lead profiles (spot repair), signing and
marking plans, miscellaneous quantities, plat, road and utility plan & profile, earthwork quantities and cross-
sections.

5/5/2025 Chlorine Leak Incident Report
Village of Allouez Waterworks
Vande Hei Pump Station
141 Vande Hei Rd., Green Bay, WI 54301
07/30/2025
Overview:
The Central Brown County Water Authority (CBCWA) is the supplier of drinking water to the Village
of Allouez. Lake Michigan is the source of our drinking water. It is treated, chlorinated and pumped
by the Manitowoc Public Utilities. On a seasonal basis (spring and fall), conditions may warrant the
need for the Village to add chlorine to the drinking water. The Village adds chlorine to the incoming
water when chlorine levels drop below 0.65 mg/l.
Summary:
On 5/5/2025 at 10:49 am a chlorine gas leak began in the chlorine room of the AZ-2 Water
Connection Station located at 141 Vande Hei Rd, Green Bay, WI 54301. One Water Department
Operator was present in the room at the time of the leak. Once the Operator evacuated the chlorine
room 911 was contacted. Green Bay Metro Fire Department HazMat team was deployed to the
scene to contain the situation. A timeline of events leading to, during, and after the leak are
detailed below.
Pre-incident Timeline of Events (5/5/2025):
• The residual chlorine of the incoming water (from CBCWA) dropped below 0.65mg/L around
1:00 am on 5/5/2025. This prompted the chlorine booster pumps to activate.
• A water department operator arrived at the AZ-2 connection station (141 Vande Hei Rd) at
7:15 am to perform the daily rounds at the station. Upon arrival he noticed that the chlorine
booster pumps were running, but no chlorine was being added.
• Upon investigation, the operator noticed that the manually operated valves on chlorine gas
tanks were in the closed position.
• The operator manually turned the operating valve on chlorine tank 2 a quarter turn to the on
position.
• The system began to pump chlorine as normal.
• The pre chlorine level reached 0.75mg/L at 8:05 am and automatically turned off the
chlorine booster system.
• The Operator returned to AZ-2 to investigate a slight chlorine smell around 10:30 am. The
Operator began investigating the leak using a bottle of ammonia.
o Ammonia vapors are wafted around the chlorine system connections. If chlorine
gas is present, a visible vapor will form when the ammonia and chlorine gas
combine.
• A leak was detected at the connection point between the Regal Automatic Switchover Gas
Chlorinator and the Chlorine Gas Cylinder Valve.
• The Operator turned to grab a wrench that was located on the windowsill behind him (south
wall of the chlorine room). At this time the chlorinator disconnected from the cylinder valve
and began leaking chlorine gas.
• The Operator immediately left the room and called the water utility foreman.
Chlorine Leak Timeline 5/5/2025:
• 10:49 am – The Operator calls the water utility foreman to inform of chlorine leak. The
foreman sends another operator to the site and prepares to alert emergency response.
• 10:55 am – Water Utility Foreman calls 911
• 11:15 am - Emergency response team begins to arrive onsite (141 Vande Hei Rd) and begins
setting a perimeter of the area.
• 11:35 am – Green Bay Metro HazMat team contains the leak and begins monitoring ambient
air.
• 12:10 pm – The Operator is transported via ambulance (non-emergency) to Aurora BayCare
Medical Center for further evaluation.
• 2:00 pm – The Operator is released from Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Post Incident Investigation (5/6/2025):
• It was discovered that two lead seals were present at the connection point of the
chlorinator and the chlorine cylinder valve. It is believed that this caused an insufficient
