For additional information please go to the City Website

MONDAY, MARCH 3, 2014
Finance & Personnel Committee
Canceled

CITY COUNCIL
MONONA PUBLIC LIBRARY MUNICIPAL ROOM
7:00 P.M.

Consideration of Resolution 14-02-1958 Amending the 2014 Capital Budget to Combine Storm Water Engineering Funds and Approving a Proposal from Strand Associates for Construction Design, Administration, and Observation Services for Storm Water Project (Public Works Committee). 
-this is a straightforward time to combine multiple projects into one - potential savings overall and easier for staff to manage.

Consideration of Ordinance 2-14-657 Permitting the Outdoor Consumption of Alcohol (License Review Committee). 
-this originated with a request from a business to the Plan Commission regarding the addition of outdoor seating.  The current proposal would allow food and beverage consumption in a "patio" space...see the meeting packet for more details.  I support this proposal.

Consideration of Ordinance 2-14-658 Pertaining to Commercial Quadricycles (License Review Committee). 
-this is in response to a new state-law changing...At this time I support the ordinance of not allowing these items to operate within the city - however, if there was a business that wanted to operate, we could hear their plans and make modifications in the future.

Consideration of Ordinance 3-14-659 An Ordinance Concerning the Water Utility (Public Works Committee).
-this will be the first-read of this item.

Appointments.
Rebecca Holmquist to the Landmarks Commission (effective March 2014–May 2016).
-I will abstain due to the relationship

Convene in Closed Session under Wisconsin Statute section 19.85(1)(e) Deliberating or negotiating the purchase of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session (Discussion of Potential Purchase of Property for Economic Development).

Public Works
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
6:30 p.m.

Review bid for Tonyawatha Trail intersection and storm sewer structure replacement
-looks like this item may be under-cost estimates by about 20K.  Look forward to hearing more details when presented to the council.

Update on Frozen Water service issues
-no additional information was provided in the packet...I suspect this will be a review of the current status and continued discussion about getting the word out for folks to run water to help prevent frozen pipes, even when the weather begins to warm (it will take longer for the ground to thaw)
