Cecil to Hillcrest), Green Meadows Street (Meadowview to End) and Hillcrest Place (Meadowview to End) was presented. A. MS Ramos/Pollnow to adopt Resolution No. 2015-02. B. Ald. Bates asked for an explanation of the “preliminary” resolution. C. Dir. Kaiser explained that a preliminary resolution is the first step in the

special assessment process. It develops the costs for a planned street project and projected assessments for the work. It gets the ball rolling on the projects.

D. Ald. Lendrum asked for an explanation of the entire approval process for street improvements.

E. Dir. Kaiser explained that the process begins with approval of the preliminary resolution; assessment reports approved by PSSC; notices are sent to property owners regarding the assessment amount and date of the related public hearing; public hearing is held before the Council; and final resolution approval by PSSC and Council.

F. Mayor Kaufert reminded the Council that the residents petitioned for these improvements.

G. Ald. Hamblin asked for an explanation of the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 policy regarding street improvements.

H. Dir. Kaiser advised that the assessment policy has been that the residents on each side of the street pay 1/3 of the costs and the City picks up 1/3 of the cost. The City also picks up costs for intersection work and non-assessable frontage. This policy is in place for reconstruction of existing city streets. It does not apply to new street construction in new subdivisions.

I. Mayor Kaufert asked when the decision would be made regarding rolling curbs.

Council Minutes January 21, 2015 Page 4 of 5

J. Dir. Kaiser advised that the engineers have found that they can make the standard curb work in this area. Public Works Superintendent Freese prefers the standard curb for snow plowing. It was put in the design for the street with standard curbs.

K. Mayor Kaufert expressed concern that the residents seemed to want the rolling curb. He asked when that should be addressed if that is the desire of the Council.

L. Dir. Kaiser advised that this would be the time to change that if it was the desire of the Council.

M. Ald. Lendrum questioned why the standard is preferred for snow plowing. N. Dir. Kaiser indicated the standard curb creates more of a barrier for the plow

blade. It also protects the grass on the terrace and rutting in the front yard if vehicles are parking on the lawn. There is not much of a cost difference. When there is a grade or drainage issue, the rolling curb would be used over the standard curb.

O. Ald. Kunz indicated he puts stock in what staff decides. They are the engineers and know what is best.

P. Ald. Pollnow expressed concern over offering the homeowners an option indicating we should go with the recommendation from Dir. Kaiser with the standard curb.

construction on Bridgewood Drive (Cecil to Baldwin), Elmwood Court (Henry), Jean Street (Western to John), Green Street (Third to Fourth), Meadowview Street (W. Cecil to Hillcrest), Green Meadows Street (Meadowview to End) and Hillcrest Place (Meadowview to End) was presented. A. MS Bates/Pollnow to adopt Resolution No. 2015-04. B. Ald. Bates questioned why the street work is split out from the sanitary sewer

work. She questioned why they are split up and not grouped together. C. Dir. Kaiser indicated the work is typically split. Sidewalks are also split up not

included with the street or sanitary sewer work. D. Motion carried, by the RollCall-Pro System, all voting aye.

V. Preliminary Resolution No. 2015-05 for the installation of concrete

sidewalk/bituminous trail on Alexander Drive (Bruce to Commercial), Bruce Street (Parkwood to Castle Oak, Marathon Avenue (Parkwood to Castle Oak) and Castle Oak Drive (Industrial to Marathon) was presented. A. MS Ramos/Hillstrom to adopt Resolution No. 2015-05. B. Ald. Pollnow opposed the resolution because of the residents in the

F. Dir. Kaiser indicated he would provide that cost comparison. G. Motion carried, by the RollCall-Pro System, all voting aye.

Development Agreement with Menasha Corporation All members of the Common Council had been present for the Special Finance & Personnel Committee and/or the Special Board of Public Works meeting that preceded the special council meeting. Both bodies recommended approval of the Development Agreement with Menasha Corporation for the construction of their Global Headquarters at 1645 Bergstrom Road. Dir. Haese briefly outlined the project, which will include removal of the existing office space and construction of a new 101,000 square foot office building that will serve as the Global Headquarters of Menasha Corporation. The overall investment by Menasha Corporation will be in the range of $28 million. In addition, 25 new jobs will be added. The proposal is to assist Menasha Corporation with infrastructure, storm water management, site clearance and development costs in the form of a Developer Financed TIF Agreement that will pledge up to $1.55 million TIF funding from the newly created TIF District #9. As part of the agreement, the City will commit to constructing new turn lanes along Bergstrom Road in 2015 for an estimated cost of $100,000. Additionally, the City will commit to constructing a pedestrian facility with associated lighting from Breezewood Lane to the new building in 2016 for an estimated cost of $300,000. Demolition is slated to begin in spring 2015 with building occupancy in August 2016. Tom Rettler, Menasha Corporation Senior VP & CFO extended his appreciation to the City

for consideration of this project. He advised the Council that they have considered other alternatives and felt this was the best option due to the fact that their in place workforce is outstanding & they would like to keep them embedded in the community and because of the strength and prosperity of the Fox Valley.

Dir. Easker advised Ald. Bates that $9 million would add one more year to potential closing date.

Special Council Meeting Minutes January 27, 2015 Page 2 Tom Rettler responded to Ald. Lendrum regarding job creation. He indicated the project

was not designed around job creation. They are sizing the proposed facility to support growth and it can support growth of 100 employees. He responded to Ald. Lendrum indicating out of state support positions will be relocated here.

Ald. Bates questioned whether we have looked into continuing the sidewalk to CTH G. Dir. Kaiser advised they did not look real hard south of the freight driveway. Long term,

the sidewalk/trails map lays out the facility along CTH G and this would tie into that. He assured Ald. Bates that he would look into the possibility of using LED lighting.

Ald. Hillstrom supported the Development Agreement. He asked who would own the lighting.

Dir. Kaiser advised that the budgeted number was for a WE Energies lighting system, with a standard pole and high-pressure sodium fixture.

He noted that it is his understanding that other homeowners in the fence-restricted area have tried to install fences and were prohibited from doing so. Director Haese provided background on the planning of the Nature Trails Subdivision and the purpose of the restriction. There was a concern that a 6-foot tall sight-tight fence, such as would typically be allowed on the rear lot line, along both sides of the trail would create an alley feel and a real or perceived safety problem. Users of the trail would not have an escape route if a problem arose. The City required the restriction as part of the development agreement and the restriction is noted on the face of the plat. A change would require the sign-off of the City. He suggested that the matter be referred to staff for consideration. Todd Stevenson, 1341 Blueberry Lane, addressed the Committee to state that he had several contacts with a similar request when he served as an alderman in that district. Mayor Kaufert also suggested that it be referred to staff for review and a recommendation be brought to a future Committee meeting. Joshua Arthur addressed the Committee with the concern that the restriction is focused on people using the path where he is concerned with keeping his family in the yard. Following discussion, Motion/Second/Carried Lendrum/Bates to direct staff to review the request and bring options to a future Committee meeting. All voting aye Glenn Schroeder, 2406 Forest Manor Court, addressed the Committee regarding the proposed sidewalk on Marathon Avenue. He provided the Committee with photos showing property line stakes and sidewalk sections through several driveways. He noted the location of the property lines is well away from the street and doesn’t feel that sidewalk should be

Public Services and Safety Committee Meeting Minutes January 27, 2015 Page 2 installed that close to the houses. He also noted the poor condition of some of the sidewalk blocks located in the driveways and expressed the need for their replacement. He also stated a concern for the impact of trees if the sidewalk were placed at the property lines. He stated that, while he is not in favor of a sidewalk installation on Marathon Avenue, if it is done consideration should be given to placing it in a way that has the least impact. Ann LaFond, 2424 Marathon Avenue, addressed the Committee to note that if the sidewalk were placed at the property line, it would be 4 or 5 feet from the front walk to her house. Deb Shaffer, 2412 Marathon Avenue and 2433 Woodland Terrace, addressed the Committee to express opposition to sidewalk on Marathon Avenue. She feels that counts and surveys need to be done to make case that establishes the need for sidewalk. Motion/Second/Carried to move item V.D.2 Public Works General Construction and Department Activity forward to allow Director Kaiser to review his update on the Marathon Avenue sidewalk. All voting aye. Director Kaiser informed the Committee that staff had performed a topographic survey of the east side of Marathon Avenue between Castle Oak Drive and Parkwood Drive. From that, several sidewalk alignment alternatives were prepared to develop costs and to evaluate impacts on trees and driveways. The baseline alternative placed the sidewalk at the right-of-way line. A second alternative moved the sidewalk closer to the road but attempted to match the sidewalk sections at each of the driveways to minimize driveway repairs. A third alternative placed the sidewalk in a way to maintain a 6.5-foot standard terrace to the maximum extent possible while attempting to also avoid trees. Layouts are being reviewed with City Forester Trevor Fink. Since the selected alternative impacts the calculations for the Assessment Report, he plans to bring the alternatives to the next Committee meeting for review. COUNCIL REFERRALS: None UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: Parks and Recreation: None Police Department: None Community Development Department: 2014 Annual Building Permit Report: Director Haese reviewed the City of Neenah 2014 Annual Building Permit Report. Mayor Kaufert noted the reduction in Industrial building activity in 2014 and stated that we are experiencing similar issues to other communities. Director Haese noted that Neenah has about 100 residential lots available when that should be closer to 200 lots.

Ald. Lendrum raised a concern with the Winneconne Avenue/Zemlock Avenue pedestrian crossing. She would like staff to evaluate the location to see if there are measures that can be taken to improve safety at the crossing. Mayor Kaufert noted that he had spoken to Police Chief Wilkinson on the matter and that they will do additional monitoring in that area. Ald. Bates requested that staff check the pedestrian crossing signal at Winneconne Avenue/Harrison Street.

DATE: 6/27/03 EFFECTIVE DATE Immediately POLICY NO: 2003-01

TITLE: Position Vacancies Policy

ISSUER: Human Resources

COVERAGE: All City Departments; Regular Positions.

AUTHORITY: Common Council, 6/18/03; final language approval, 7/2/03, Revised February 2015

DURATION: Indefinite

SYNOPSIS: Process for filling vacant authorized positions and creating new City positions

INTRODUCTION

This Position Vacancy Policy intends to outline the procedure for filling vacant, budgeted positions and proposing the creation of new positions, and shall include both regular full time and part time positions. It is not intended to replace or change any policies regarding position authorization in the annual budgeting process.

POLICY

A. Budgeted Positions

1. When a vacancy occurs in any city department, the Department Head shall examine departmental operations to determine if department operations can be maintained without filling the position. The Department Head shall examine the position duties and determine whether those duties can be accomplished through reassignment to other employees within the department, departmental reorganization, or through subcontracting the duties with outside vendors. Care should be taken to insure that any decisions regarding duty reassignment or subcontracting of duties to private firms not violate existing City agreements with its unionized employees. The Department Head should consult with the City Attorney to determine the impact of duty reassignment or subcontracting on existing agreements.

2. After analyzing the need for the position, if the Department Head determines that the position does not need to be filled and can be handled through reassignment of duties without reorganization or subcontracting, the Department Head shall report the decision to the Mayor and Human Resources Director and to the Finance and Personnel Committee. No further action will be required.

3. If the Department Head determines that the position needs to be filled, s/he shall initiate the “Fill Vacant Position Request” Form on the City’s Intranet. Once the form is initiated,

CITY OF NEENAH Office of the City Attorney Position Vacancies; Pol. No. 2003-01 June 27, 2003 – Page 2

HR will receive the request, and will forward the job description to the Department Head for updates. The Department Head will then detail the justification for filling the position in a memo to the Mayor. The memo shall include a summary of the analysis taken by the Department Head and resulting justification for filling the vacancy. .

4. The Mayor shall review the Department Head’s justification for filling the position, consulting with the Human Resources and / or Finance Department as needed..

5. The Mayor shall forward the Department Head’s request to fill the vacant budgeted position and the current job description on to the Finance & Personnel Committee with a recommendation on whether the position should be filled.

6. The Committee shall review the Department Head’s request and the Mayor’s recommendation and decide whether to authorize filling the vacancy. The Committee’s action shall be final. This process should be followed for both union and nonunion positions. For union positions, authorization to fill the vacancy should be obtained prior to posting the position in accordance with union contracts. Non-union positions and positions posted externally may be advertised for to begin receiving applications, but no offer of employment may be made prior to approval from the Finance and Personnel Committee.

In the event an employee separates during their 12 month probationary period, a second approval will not be required by the Finance Committee, however, the Council shall be notified via memo of the separation and basic circumstances.

B. Unbudgeted Position Creation

1. In the event that a Department Head determines that departmental needs have changed sufficiently to warrant the addition of a new position, the Department Head shall propose the new position in writing to the Mayor and Human Resources Director, providing justification on the need to create the position. Additionally, a draft job description should be included.

2. If after review, the Mayor concurs that the position should be created, Human Resources will forward the proposed position to the City’s salary plan consultant for recommended placement on the salary plan. Once the recommended grade has been received, the Department Head shall initiate the “Fill Vacant Position” form on the intranet, and follow the steps to request to bring the vacancy before the Finance and Personnel Committee, as detailed previously.

3. If the committee concurs with the recommendation, the committee shall forward its recommendation to the Common Council for action.

4. If the Mayor recommends against creating the new position, the Department Head’s proposal shall be sent to the Finance and Personnel Committee with the Mayor’s

CITY OF NEENAH Office of the City Attorney Position Vacancies; Pol. No. 2003-01 June 27, 2003 – Page 3

recommendation for review. If the committee concurs in the Mayor’s recommendation not to create the position, the proposal shall not proceed further.

5. If the Finance and Personnel Committee disagrees with the Mayor’s recommendation and recommends the creation of the new position, Human Resources will forward the proposed position to the City’s salary plan consultant for recommended placement on the salary plan, and that recommendation shall be forwarded to the Council for action.

C. Library & Water Utility Employees

Throughout this policy, where newly created library positions are involved, the Library Board shall be substituted for the Finance Committee and Common Council respectively; and where water utility positions are involved, the Water Commission shall substitute for the Finance and Personnel Committee.

*AMENDED MINUTES OF THE NEENAH PLAN COMMISSION* Tuesday, January 27, 2015

4:15 p.m.

Present: Mayor Dean Kaufert, Members Kate Hancock-Cook, Tim Hamblin, Gerry Andrews, Karen Genett, Chris Kunz, and Gerry Kaiser. Also present: Deputy Director of Community Development Brad Schmidt, Office Manager Samantha

Jefferson, Alderman Bill Pollnow and members of the public. Minutes: MSC Andrews/Kunz to approve the December 9, 2014. All voting aye. Public Appearances: None

Public Hearings: None. Consideration and recommendation of the City acceptance and conversion of two private streets – Dogwood Trail and Buttonbush Way – within the Cottages at Woodside Green subdivision:

Deputy Schmidt explained that the owners of property in the Cottages at Woodside Green subdivision would like the City to accept two private roads within the subdivision – Dogwood Trail and Buttonbush Way – as public roads. While the Subdivision Ordinance requires public streets contain a minimum 60-foot right-of-way width and these roads have only a width of 24 feet, the Public Services and Safety Committee reviewed the request and has recommended the Council approve this petition. Also, the request is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Member Hancock-Cook asked about the ramifications of approving this petition regarding long-term maintenance. Member Kaiser explained that currently, there is no curb and gutter on these roads and that would not need to change due to the unique stormwater management plan that exists in the subdivision. Leon Church, the developer of the Cottages at Woodside Green, explained that tiny recycled pieces of glass were put into each driveway in the subdivision. This has diverted rainwater from the roadway and ultimately allows the rainwater to be soaked back into the ground. Member Gennett exhibited hesitation and pointed out that this might set a precedent for the City to accept other private roads as public. Member Kaiser explained that accepting these roads would in no way hold the City to some obligation to accept any other private roads as public roads and that each situation would be considered on a case-by-case basis. Member Andrews asked whether or not parking would be allowed on-street. Mr. Church answered that no parking is allowed on any of the streets in the subdivision, so the width of the street would not be a concern when it comes to that. Member Kaiser also explained that the residents of those roads know that road reconstruction will be 100% assessable and that the road will not be reconstructed until most of the expected construction of the subdivision area to the North is completed (it is expected that these roads will be utilized by construction vehicles). Mayor Kaufert asked about the current condition of these roads. Member Kaiser said that there are minor issues but none that would require immediate fixes. MSC Kunz/Genett, the Commission recommends Council approve a resolution authorizing the land transfer of Outlot 1 of the Cottages at Woodside Green subdivision to the public subject to verification of the owner of Outlot 1 on the transfer deed. All voting aye. Consideration and recommendation of Ordinance #2015-01 regarding the annexation of 10.0 acres on the southwest corner of Olde School Road and South Commercial Street (Lakeview School):

Deputy Schmidt brought before the Plan Commission the proposed annexation into the City of Neenah of 10.0 acres of which is currently operated as Lakeview School. The City’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map identifies this land as appropriate for school use and upon annexation, the property will be zoned R1. The area to be annexed is within the City of Neenah’s Growth Area but will create a Town island. However, the Town and the City have agreed not to protest Town islands. Along with this, the Department of Administration has found this annexation to be in the public interest as defined by State Statutes. In the memo detailing this annexation, it was originally described that the school will connect to City water after the annexation. But in fact, the school will remain on well water until ten years have passed or the well fails. MSC Genett/Kaiser, the Commission recommends Council approve Ordinance #2015-01 regarding the petition for annexation of 10.0 acres on the southwest corner of Olde School Road and S. Commercial Street (including S. Commercial Street/CTH A right-of-way) be accepted. All voting aye.

Plan Commission Minutes January 27, 2015 Page 2 Consideration of a 2 Lot CSM proposed by Habitat for Humanity on Meadowview Street:

Deputy Schmidt outlined the petition of owner Habitat for Humanity to split a lot that they own on Meadowview Street. Both lots would meet the minimum design standards as outlined in the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. The Commission asked if these lots would be used to build two Habitat for Humanity homes. Director Schmidt did not ask what the purpose of dividing the lots would be as any normal property owner would not be asked. There was some discussion on the neighborhood and whether or not Habitat for Humanity homes would fit in there. Member Kaiser said that the look and square footage of the Habitat for Humanity floor plans would not be atypical in this neighborhood. Member Genett pointed out that many of these petitions have been granted in the past with plans for even smaller lot sizes. MSC Kaiser/Hancock-Cook, the Commission recommends Council approve the 2 Lot CSM proposed by Habitat for Humanity on Meadowview Street. All voting aye. Consideration of a 2 Lot CSM proposed by Menasha Packaging on Gillingham Road:

Deputy Schmidt explained the 2 Lot CSM that has been proposed by Menasha Packaging. They have purchased a portion of land from Industrial Towel and Uniform, Inc. and would like to add it to the Menasha Packaging Property. All of the land lies within the same zoning district. A portion of the land along Apple Blossom Drive will be dedicated to the public to match the existing right-of-way lines. MSC Andrews/Genett, the Commission recommends Council approve the 2 Lot CSM proposed by Menasha Packaging on Gillingham Road. All voting aye.

Announcements and future agenda items:

The UW Extension will hold Plan Commission Member Training on March 5 at the City of Neenah Library from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Plan Commission members from many municipalities around the Fox Valley will be attending. The training will outline the responsibilities of members of Plan Commissions. Future agenda items include the Development Agreement for the Castle Oak IV subdivision and the development of an assisted living facility on the lot behind Applebees. Adjournment: The Commission adjourned its meeting at 5:15 P.M.

Respectfully Submitted, Samantha Jefferson Office Manager of Community Development

This Change Order is based on final project quantities and is the net of all project accounts some that exceeded the original allocation and others that came in below the allocation. The work that contributed to this change order was the removal of poor soils in several areas on the two intersections. This lead to increases in the Unclassified Excavation quantity and the Crushed Aggregate quantity. Dir. Kaiser indicated he is disappointed in this matter, as he did not properly apprise the Board and Council of the issues they were encountering. He and staff have discussed the need to more fully communicate these matters I the future. He recommended the funding sources outlined in his memo to fund this change order. The original contract amount was $1,011,119.32 therefore this change order is only 6% increase and does not fall under the 15% escalator to require Council approval. City Atty. Godlewski made a friendly amendment to include the funding sources outlined by Dir. Kaiser in the motion indicating adding the funding source would require the motion to be approved by Council. Both Dir. Kaiser who made the motion and Dir. Haese who seconded the motion were okay with the friendly amendment. Mayor Kaufert commented that the Dixie Road project was completed $57,000 under budget. The motion to approve Change Order No. 1 for Contract 2-14 concrete pavement construction at Winneconne Avenue and Harrison intersection, Green Bay Road and Main Street intersection and Dixie Road realignment to Vinton Construction Company, Manitowoc, in the amount of $55,266.57 and to approve the funding source as outlined by Dir.

RESOLUTION NO. 2015-07

A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PROSPERITY: AN AGENDA FOR A COMPETITIVE 21ST CENTURY WISCONSIN

Whereas, the state Legislature and the Governor understand that job creation

and economic growth is a top priority; and

Whereas, municipalities are the foundation of Wisconsin’s economy and local leaders share the same goal of job creation and economic vitality;

Whereas, the state should focus its support and limited resources for local government on incorporated communities, which are the economic engines of the state as evidenced by the following:

Wisconsin’s metropolitan regions already account for 75% of the state’s Gross Domestic Product.

Wisconsin’s cities and villages are home to 70 percent of the state’s population, 87 percent of all manufacturing property, and 89 percent of all commercial property.

Most of the small businesses created in Wisconsin get their start in cities and villages.

Cities and villages are where nearly all technology-based entrepreneurship is occurring in Wisconsin.

Startups and other knowledge-based economic activity occur almost exclusively within cities and villages.

Whereas, to compete globally, Wisconsin needs to develop and maintain quality communities that can attract and retain talent and enterprise and spur job creation;

Whereas, for the state’s economy to flourish, state and local leaders must work collaboratively;

Whereas, the League’s Partnership for Prosperity legislative agenda recognizes that thriving municipalities are critical to a successful state economy and calls for a new state-local partnership to drive the state’s economy forward and spur job creation by:

1) Helping communities continue to provide quality local services while holding the line on property taxes.

2) Investing in local transportation infrastructure.

3) Enhancing and promoting economic development best practices, like the expansion of the historic tax credit that was accomplished in the 2013-2014 legislative session.

Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the City of Neenah Common Council urges the Governor and the Legislature to work collaboratively with municipal leaders to accomplish the critical goals of job creation and economic growth.

Be it Further Resolved, that the City of Neenah Common Council urges the Legislature and the Governor to enact the League’s Partnership for Prosperity agenda (copy attached).
