Alderman Ebersohl and Hejna were not in attendance at this meeting.

Municipal Building, Property and Capital Improvements

• Senior services Relocation update

After reviewing four locations not including the YMCA part of the Traube Tent building is under consideration for the location of this program. Other locations did not meet certain requirements such as handicapped bathrooms and other improvements needing to be done before they could occupy the building.

The council then discussed if they negotiate a lease for the building and then the program asks the city for additional money as they have in the past on top of the monthly rent the city provides them with. It was decided Pat who runs this senior program will need to talk with the council. A motion was passed to allow Paul Ellis to begin negotiating a lease agreement for the council’s approval.

Mayor Hutchinson noted he has spoken with Representative Reitz regarding money for such a program.


• Shoemaker Schoolhouse update

A punch list has been made to restore the building completely. Paul Ellis is looking for grants to complete the work in the neighborhood of $50-60K. The city will need to consider the long term costs of staffing the facility if it will be a tourist information type of facility.


• Oak Street building

Paul Ellis presented a 5-year plan for the building to get more of it tenant ready, replace the parking lot, and expand some of the current tenant base to raise the revenue created by this building. Most if not all of the revenue generated by the tenants will be invested back into the building to attract more tenants and provide a better facility to the current tenants.

• Police Department roof

The roof is scheduled to be replaced by Lakeside roofing as soon as the can get it on their schedule, which looks to be mid to late July. The work will cost roughly $34K and consist of a new sloped roof with 1/8” of slope per a foot, gutters, and downspouts. Currently the roof is flat and has no gutters and downspouts.



Committee of the Whole

• Legal RFQ Submissions

This meeting was scratched as the council would like more time to review the RFQ’s that have been submitted.
