Members present: Coenen, DeCoster, Driessen, Leon, McGinnis, Meyerhofer (via phone), Penterman, and Roehrig. Also present: Mayor Rosin, DPW/Eng. Sundelius, Atty. Davidson, Police Chief Manion, Fire Chief Hirte, Planner Jakel, Rec. Dir. Malloy, Eng./GIS Spec. Neumeier, and interested citizens. 1. DPW/Eng. Sundelius explained that they had a meeting with the Wisconsin Departmen t of Transportation, Fox River Navigation System Authority, and East Central Regional Plan Commission on January 9th regarding the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The City explained their situation of having to pay an unproportionate share of the cost to rehabi litate the Veterans Memorial Bridge. Anticipated project costs are over $2,000,000 with only $880,000 of federal/state funds. Fox River Navigation System Authority will attempt to set up a meeting with the governor’s office to explain the situation and determine if any other aids are available. The rehabilitation project is in jeopardy if no additional funds become available. 2. DPW/Eng. Sundelius explained that the Mayor received a letter from Brian Helminger, Director at Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District, explaining the issues that may affect rate structures and the significant rehabilitation or replacement of the interceptor that lays in the bed of the Fox River. This is the initial update and as options are explored and plans are made they will stay in touch with the member communities. 3. Rec. Dir. Malloy questioned when the city run youth baseball program should start. His understanding was that once Kaukauna Youth Baseball was at their new facility in the Village of Harrison, we would start our program but funds were budgeted for 2018. Kaukauna Youth Baseball is forming their leagues now for 2018. Would players be available for a 2018 league if these kids are committed to Kaukauna Youth Baseball already. The age groups for a city program would be 5-6 year olds, 7-8 years olds, 9-10 year olds, and 11-12 year olds. Each age group should have at least 4 teams with 13 kids on each team for a total of 52 kids. The other things to consider are our facilities and obtaining coaches for these teams. Ald. Coenen stressed that eventually Kaukauna Youth Baseball will have to know that our games will use our facilities. Motion by Coenen, seconded by Driessen, to set up a summer league as a recreation program for 2018. Motion by Meyerhofer, seconded by Coenen, to table this motion. All Ald. voted aye. Motion carried. 4. Motion by Coenen, seconded by Roehrig, to move forward with starting a recreation program for youth baseball for 2019 and Recreation Director will let the Board know of his progress in August. All Ald. voted aye. Motion carried. 5. Motion by Penterman, seconded by Coenen, to authorize the Engineering Department to seek bids for Project No. 2-18, Quinney/Metoxen Utility Relay Phase 2 of 2. All Ald. voted aye. Motion carried. 6. DPW/Eng. Sundelius informed the Board that right-of-way acquisition has started for the 2020 reconstruction of Green Bay Road/STH 96.
