PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2013
Ald. Neil Borgman called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. Also present were Ald. Robert
Wolfe, Ald. Eileen Madden, and Public Works Director David Simpson.
Ald. Borgman led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The meeting was noticed in accordance with the Open Meeting Laws on March 15, 2013.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 18, 2013
Ald. Madden moved to approve the minutes of February 18, 2013. Ald. Wolfe seconded.
Motion carried 3-0.
STATUS OF PROJECTS
Director Simpson gave updates on the following projects:
Janesville Road Reconstruction – Utilities moving ahead smoothly.
Racine Avenue Recreational Trail – Final plans should be ready by next meeting.
Annual Road Program – Should have plans together by next meeting.
Floodproofing of structure on Saroyan Road – Home on Saroyan experienced some flooding
in the past. A grant from the DNR will be used to elevate the home out of the flood zone.
The City’s share will be 10-20% of 100,000. There may be a chance to recoup the City’s
share from MMSD.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Moorland Dental Center Request for Refund of Sanitary Sewer Charges – Director
Simpson explained this item was deferred at last month’s meeting and new
information has been received. MMSD has agreed to a refund of $859.36 basing it
on the 2nd quarter usage of 33,000 gallons. The Committee agreed that because Dr.
Thompson brought the bill to the City’s attention before it was due and because he
paid for the water that was used he should not have to pay for sewer that he didn’t
use. Ald. Madden moved to follow MMSD and charge sewer usages based on
the 2nd quarter billing. Ald. Wolfe seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Moose Lodge’s request for reduced interest payment related to a deferred
sanitary sewer assessment – Director Simpson explained the City received a
request by the Moose Lodge for a reduced deferred assessment payout. The
original assessment in 1992 was $5,287.10. Currently the assessment, with
interest, it is now $13,879.68. Assessments are in place so that a property owner
with a large property will not be required to pay a large assessment until the property
is divided. The Moose Lodge is offering to pay $6,300 in exchange for the City
considering the deferred assessment completely satisfied. Members of the Moose
Lodge were present and explained there is a slim likelihood that the Moose Lodge
would ever sell or divide the property, but they would like the peace of mind that for
future generations this would not remain on their books.
After discussion the Committee agreed there should be separate discussion relating
to a sunset on deferred assessments. Ald. Madden moved to defer while the
Committee looks into the policy. Ald. Wolfe seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Public Works Minutes
March 18, 2013
2
Approval of Janesville Road Reconstruction (Lannon to Racine) Stormwater
Management Plan – Director Simpson explained this plan requires the construction
of a new retention pond near the intersection of Janesville Road and Park Drive.
Three outfalls along the project route will be through the retention pond that releases
to the lake, an outfall to Pilak Creek, and a storm sewer connection on Lions Park
Dr. There will be a minor increase of runoff intensity at Lions Park Drive and zero
increase at the creek where there have been flooding issues. Director Simpson
noted the State also had to sign off on this project. Ald. Wolfe made a motion to
approve the Janesville Road Reconstruction (Lannon to Racine) Stormwater
Management Plan. Ald. Madden seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Discuss revised prioritization of recreational trail construction and potential
authorization to proceed with consultant engineering assistance for 2014 projects –
Director Simpson explained the Park and Recreation Board has completed their
discussion of the revised 2014 recreation trail construction plan. This plan includes
the addition of the segment of trail along Lannon Drive from Janesville Road to
Martin Drive. Staff is requesting assistance from a consulting engineer for the
survey and design of the Lannon Drive segment. Hardtke Drive and Woods Road
from Racine Avenue to Plum Creek are also scheduled for 2014 and will utilize in
house staff for survey and design. Ald. Madden expressed concern over the
Durham Drive/Hwy 36 trail being put off while new projects are added. Ald. Madden
stated residents in this area need a trail and are not happy. A resident of
Champions Village was in the audience and explained they have no place to walk or
ride their bikes unless they take the path to Wind Lake or ride on “OO”, which isn’t
safe. Ald. Soltysiak was also present and explained at the Park & Recreation
meeting they used density and which areas would get the most use as the rationale
behind making these decisions. Ald. Madden requested this be sent back to the
Park and Recreation Board and residents be invited to attend. Ald. Madden made
a motion to deny the request to hire a consultant for the survey and design of
the Lannon Drive trail segment. Ald. Borgman seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Staff was directed to request this item be placed on the next Park and Recreation
Board meeting.

Subject: Discuss drainage issue at W174 S6802 East Drive
Date: April 12, 2013
The homeowner of W174 S6802 East Drive has expressed great concern related to
storm water runoff coming from City owned conservation land onto their property. The
attached construction drawing from 1991 shows how this issue was addressed when it
was first brought to the City’s attention. There is a storm inlet and berm system that
was designed and installed to collect runoff from the conservation land. This inlet has
become clogged during past rain events and the water then spills over the berm and
down the property line between the City owned land and W174 S6802 East Drive.
These pictures show how the water flows when the inlet becomes clogged or
overwhelmed.
Above: Drainage Down Approximate Lot Line
Above: The white stake is the clogged inlet Above: Flowing water on City’s land
The resident would like the City to solve this issue so that the water from the City owned
land does not spill onto her property. There are two options as I see it to potentially
resolve this issue. The first would be to install an end section out of the existing field
inlet to prevent the existing inlet from becoming clogged with leaves. The second option
would be to install the end section and also construct an overland relief path (swale)
down the City’s property to East Drive. If the second option were chosen, many mature
growth trees would need to be removed from the City’s conservation land. If this option
is chosen, I think that it would be prudent to refer this issue for discussion at the
Conservation Commission as this is deemed conservation land.
Recommendation:
Direct staff to install and end section on the existing inlet to prevent clogging and discuss
the possible referral of the installation of a swale to the Conservation Commission if the
Committee desires a higher level of protection.

Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss drainage from Tess Corners School to Cornell Drive
Date: April 12, 2013
During the heavy rain event of July 22, 2010, the City experienced multiple locations
where localized flooding caused damage to homes in the City. One of those problem
areas were homes near the intersection of Cornell and Catalina. The City expedited
a work plan to install a relief sewer that would reduce the likelihood of future
flooding of the intersection. The project was budgeted, designed, and installed by
the fall of 2011.
A resident along the north side of Cornell Drive had also requested that the City
look into the possibility of installing a storm sewer through side yards from Cornell
Drive north to the Tess Corners Elementary School Property to reduce the amount
of overland drainage through the side yards. During initial design, the Public
Works Committee, on March 28th, 2011 (minutes and memo attached), voted to add
this section of pipe to the project for an estimated cost of $22,500 (not including
easements or grading on school property). Design progressed and more detailed
cost estimates were produced by GRAEF. The project was severely over budget and
the decision was made by the Public Works Committee, on July 28th, 2011 (minutes
and memo attached), to reroute the main pipe and remove the section of pipe
between the homes to the north of Cornell Drive.
Alderman Harenda has asked that this item be added to the agenda for
reconsideration. Given that the City’s project met its goal of providing protection
against flooding I do not feel that we should address this issue further. Perhaps the
school district would be willing to discuss this further with the homeowners as this is
runoff from school owned land.
Recommendation for Action:
Recommend not moving forward with any further storm sewer in this area.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: Engineering Department, David Simpson, P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Catalina Storm Sewer Design- Cost vs. Benefit Matrix
Date: March 24, 2011
GRAEF has been working on the design of the Catalina Storm Sewer Project since
the project was awarded. Some work was on hold until enough snow had melted to
obtain good survey data. GRAEF has completed the cost/benefit analysis for the
design (see attached sheets). Two analyses were completed, specifically, one for the
100 year event, and one for the July 22, 2011 event (which was greater than the 100
year event). There are two types of pipe shown, Reinforce Concrete Pipe (RCP) and
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The City has historically utilized RCP on
projects, however, HDPE has now become accepted industry wide and would be a
good fit for this job. The matrix shows the different levels of protection based on
the different pipe sizes and storm events.
Also, as requested, a cost estimate was put together to add a storm sewer between
the homes on the north side of Cornell in order to capture storm water on the school
site as opposed to it running overland. The added cost for this (assuming the
residents voluntarily give an easement to the City) would be approximately
$22,500.00. The need for this pipe segment can be discussed further.
Recommendation for Action:
Recommend designing the project with a 48” HDPE pipe. Direct staff regarding the
additional pipe segment to the north.

Presentation and Discussion of report entitled “Results of Water Stage Monitoring for Big
Muskego Lake South Inlet Ditch” - City Engineer Simpson stated the City of Muskego
commissioned a study as a result of receiving complaints along a tributary to Big Muskego
Lake that begins at Union Church Drive and empties into Big Muskego Lake. Ken Ward
from R&M did a presentation of findings (about two years), discussed and answered
questions from residents. Ald. Borgman made a motion to direct staff to install the
recommended culvert and continue staff monitoring where possible. Ald. Harenda
seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Review request from Mike Birkley regarding required improvements to Summertime and
Laura Lane – City Engineer Simpson advised Mike Birkley submitted a request for having a
gravel road within public right-of-way in conjunction with a proposed land division. He made
a similar request in November 2009, only contemplating one additional lot at the end of
Laura Lane without dedicating additional right-of-way. At this time he is contemplating two
additional lots on the end of Laura Lane and three additional onto Summertime Lane. As
with any land division, we are charged with ensuring that public improvements are adequate
to serve said division. Had discussion with Mr.Birkley, Laura Lane residents and
Committee. Ald. Borgman made a motion for Summertime recommending to require full
City street improvements from the intersection of Schultz to the end of Lot 4 with a cul-de-
sac that’s adequate for emergency vehicles. Ald. Harenda seconded. Amendment to
motion.Ald. Borgman made a motion for Summertime L ane recommending to require full
City street improvements from Schultz Lane to the end of Lot 4 with a cul-de-sac and the
decision of curb and gutter or ditches left to staff. Seconded by Ald. Harenda. Motion
carried 3-0.
Ald. Borgman made a motion to improve Laura Lane to require full roadway improvements
at the Developer’s cost to City standards from Shultz Lane to the terminus of the roadway.
Ald. Harenda seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Approval of work plan development and policy for Private Property Infiltration & Inflow
Reduction Program and Private Property Sanitary Sewer Back Up Prevention Policy – City
Engineer Simpson advised that MMSD has approved the policy document necessary to
complete the City’s PPII Reduction and Sanitary Sewer Back Up Prevention Plans. Work
Plan #1, an agreement to provide services by Brown and Caldwell through the MMSD’s PPII
Reduction Program funds is approved through the district. City staff would like to finalize the
policy statements with MMSD and begin mailing letters to the “at-risk” properties. The City
will pay for a portion of the backflow preventer’s cost. Ald. Borgman made a motion to
approve the scope as outlined in the attachment and direct staff to mail letters to “at-risk”
properties as soon as possible. Ald. Harenda seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Review cost vs. benefit matrix for Catalina Storm Sewer Project design – City Engineer
Simpson stated GRAEF has been working on the design of the Catalina Storm Sewer
Project since the project was awarded. There were three homes with flooding. GRAEF has
completed two cost/benefit analyses for the design – one for the 100-year event and one for
the July 22, 2011 event. There are two types of pipe – Reinforce Concrete Pipe (RCP) and
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE has become accepted industry wide and would
be a good fit for this job. For no ponding in the street during July 22 event you would have
to go with the 48” sewer, if you want one foot of ponding in the street you would go with the
42”. Also a cost estimate was put together to add a storm sewer between the homes on the
north side of Cornell in order to capture storm water on the school site as opposed to it
running overland. The added cost for the would be approximately $22,500.00. Ald.
Borgman made a motion to recommend designing the project with a 48” HDPE pipe and add
the additional pipe segment to the north. Seconded by Ald. Harenda. Motion carried 3-0.

Request to vacate a portion of College Court right-of-way – City Engineer stated Veolia at
the end of College Court got a variance for the building they put up and wish to make it
conforming. We suggested they do it through this process requesting a vacation of right-of-
way and moving the cul-de-sac north. There is sanitary sewer and storm water ditches
located in the existing right-of-way so easements would be required. Ald. Harenda made a
motion to recommend vacating of a portion of the College Court right-of-way with all costs
related to said vacation process being paid for by the petitioner. Seconded by Ald.
Borgman. Motion carried 3-0.
Review Durham Drive Reconstruction bid amount and pertinent effects on assessment roll
for the Durham Drive Sanitary Sewer project – City Engineer Simpson advised the City has
levied special assessments against certain properties that will benefit from the extension of
sanitary sewers as part of the Durham Drive Reconstruction project. These assessments
were levied based on an Engineer’s Estimate prior to actual bidding of the project. Bids
were opened March 15th and resulted in actual bid amounts (for the sanitary sewer portion
only) higher than the Engineer’s Estimate used to complete the current assessment roll.
Bids were substantially higher than estimated because of extensive dewatering that the
Contractors feel will be necessary to construct this project. The Committee must consider
and recommend these one of these options – 1. City Sewer Utility would pay for additional
costs which would amount to approximately $236,263.54. 2. Revise the special
assessment roll to require the Sewer Utility pay for the per unit cost differential which would
require a Public Hearing. 3. Revise the special assessment roll to require the residents to
pay for the entire cost difference between the original estimate and Engineer’s Estimate. 4.
Cancel the sanitary sewer extension project. Ald. Borgman made a motion recommending
Alternative 2 revising the based on the assessed amounts presented and to schedule a
Public Hearing as soon as we possibly can do it. Ald. Fiedler seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Recommendation of award of bid for the Durham Drive Reconstruction Project – City
Engineer Simpson stated the project’s low bid was below the original Engineer’s Estimate
and well within budget for this project. The low bid was received for C.W. Purpero. Ald.
Borgman made a motion to recommend award of bid to C.W. Purpero in the amount of
$2,757,316.70. Ald. Harenda seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Recommendation for approval of contract management services for the Durham Drive
Reconstruction Project – City Engineer Simpson advised he asked five consulting
engineering firms to submit proposals for construction management services of the Durham
Drive Reconstruction. I asked for resumes of key individuals that would be involved with the
project, and to provide a lump sum fee for the completion of as-built record drawings, and a
project web-page. A major component of this review is based on past successful experience
with City of Muskego projects and knowledge of City specifications. Based on all of the
factors reviewed I recommend Foth. Ald. Borgman made a motion to recommend approval
of construction management services by Foth. Seconded by Ald. Harenda. Motion carried
3-0.
Recommendation of purchase of Department of Public Works Patrol Truck – Public Works
Superintendent Delikat stated he would recommend taking the low bid of the bid summary
for the plow truck which would be Lakeside International LLC. Ald. Borgman made a motion
recommending to approve the plow truck purchase. Ald. Harenda seconded. Motion
carried 3-0.
4
Recommendation of purchase of Department of Public Works Vacuum Truck –
Public Works Superintendent Delikat stated after budget time vendor brought out a
truck and it would not even pick up a pile of leaves. So we went back to our original
vac. He talked to Sharon and there is extra money in capital funds budget. Ald.
Borgman made a motion for the purchase of Department of Public Works Vacuum
truck be moved to Council. Seconded by Ald. Harenda. Motion carried 3-0.

Staff Report to Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: Engineering Department, David Simpson, P.E., City Engineer
Subject: Cornell Storm Sewer Design
Date: July 15, 2011
As discussed at the previous Committee meeting, the engineer’s estimate for the
original proposed storm sewer route was much more than originally budgeted. The
original route was planned to go through Kurth Park and would have allowed the
option of adding a retention pond in the future. As design was nearing completion,
we found that the original cost estimate of $250,000 was going to be exceeded by
more than $250,000. Around this same time, State law requiring Cities to reduce
their TSS by 40% was rescinded. This gave us the opportunity to look into other
options.
GRAEF was able, at their own cost, to resize and relocate the proposed route
straight down Cornell Drive (see attached exhibit). We also eliminated the extra
pipe between the homes north or Cornell (as it is not necessary to reduce flooding)
and reduced the size of the relief pipe by calibrating the flood model to the July 22,
2011 rain event. We also intend on keeping the existing pipe and making any spot
repairs as needed. The attached cost estimates reflect two options. The first is a 21”
pipe that will protect against the July 22, 2011 rain event for an estimated cost of
$193,000. The second is a 24” pipe that will provide added protection for a cost of
$214,000. Also attached is a schedule that GRAEF has put together showing that we
can still build this project this year. There will be additional cost for the redesign in
the amount of $11,900 (see attached).
Recommendation for Action:
Recommend moving forward with survey, design, and bidding of a 24” storm sewer
down Cornell Drive per the attached proposal.

NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Modified Design & Associated Costs for the Catalina Storm Sewer Project – City
Engineer Simpson stated as was discussed at previous meeting, the engineer’s estimate for
the original proposed storm sewer route was much more than original budgeted. The
2
original route was planned to go through Kurth Park. As design was nearing completion, we
found that the original cost estimate of $250,000 was going to be exceeded by more than
$250,000. GRAEF resized and relocated the proposed route straight down Cornell Drive at
their own cost. We also intend on keeping the existing pipe and making any spot repairs as
needed. There are two options - the first is a 21” pipe that will protect against the July 22,
2011 rain event for an estimated cost of $193,000. The second is a 24” pipe that will
provide added protection for a cost of $214,000. Ald. Soltysiak made a motion to move
forward with design and bidding of a 24” storm sewer and the additional cost for the
redesign. Ald. Werner seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Recommend Award of Bid for Luehring & Hillview Drive Drainage Project – City Engineer
Simpson stated bids were received July 7, 2011, for the Luehring and Hillview Drives
Drainage Improvements and Road Reconstruction Project. We received six bids. Musson
Brothers was the low bidder. The low bid falls within our budgeted scope of which we
estimated $250,000, which also includes inspection and design work. Musson Brothers is a
large company and do State work. They have plenty of equipment and plenty of experience
for this type of job. Ald. Werner made a motion to award the Luehring Drive and Hillview
Drive Drainage and Road Project to Musson Brothers. Seconded by Ald. Soltysiak. Motion
carried 3-0.
Recommend Award of Bid for 2011 Road Improvement Program – City Engineer Simpson
advised bids were opened July 14, 2011 for the 2011 Road Improvement Program. We had
three bidders. Bids came in very low. Payne & Dolan was $477,890. The actual budget
was $625,000, which includes inspection and design work. Most of design work was done
in house. We will have extra money in this years budget to add additional road work. Ald.
Soltysiak made a motion to award the 2011 Road Improvement program to Payne & Dolan
and use staff discretion to bring the next on the list road projects with the balance of the
funds. Ald. Werner seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
Discuss City’s Position on the Tess Corners Creek Pond Project – The Mayor received a
letter from the City of New Berlin dated June 14, 2011. It discusses the Tess Corners Creek
Pond project that was originally discussed in 2000 per City Engineer Simpson. This project
was intended to be built in New Berlin and serve both New Berlin and Muskego. Essentially
the pond would act as water quality pond for New Berlin and water quantity pond for the City
of Muskego. This would reduce the storm event flows by approximately 37%. Back then a
grant was given, but expired and was revoked by the DNR. New Berlin backed out in 2004.
They said they would keep it in their plan and developers would build a plan in the future.
They thought by 2008 it would be part of a development area. Nothing has developed. New
Berlin is now saying that the reduction in total suspended solids is not cost effective for them
and that they do not feel that moving forward with the project is cost effective for that
reason. It would be a very costly investment, but one that the City may wish to make at
some point. Recommend staff to write a letter to New Berlin regarding considering mutually
beneficial projects.
NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE
None.
COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Ald. Borgman requested reviewing projects of major areas hit by storms. He would like to
take a look at those.

CITY OF MUSKEGO
Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Request to amend Linnie Lac sewer service Inter-Municipal agreement with New Berlin
Date: April 12, 2013
The City of Muskego and the City of New Berlin entered into an agreement to provide a limited number
of New Berlin residents with a limited number of sanitary sewer services. The original agreement was
entered into in 1974, with the last amendment being approved November 30th, 2009 (see attached
agreement). In this agreement, it specifically states that no additional connections are to be allowed
within the area referred to as exhibit A (see attached). The City of New Berlin is requesting that the
City of Muskego consider one additional connection to a parcel within this area (see attached letter
forwarded by New Berlin staff).
Should the City of Muskego tentatively approve this request, the existing agreement must be amended
and approved by the Common Council. Staff feels that the addition of this connection in this area
would promote the overall environmental health of this area. Given that these lands drain into
Muskego, it is in the best interests of the residents of Muskego to eliminate or prevent the installation of
private treatment systems.
Given these facts, we recommend working with New Berlin toward an amendment to the current
agreement. In order to ensure that the agreement is written properly, the City of Muskego will need to
expend monies to have the City Attorney involved in this process. Given that the City of New Berlin
has offered to reimburse us for all legal fees, I would recommend that we send the draft agreement to
the City Attorney for comments and bring forward a final version (with Attorney approval) to Common
Council for final approval.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Recommend approval of the “Agreement to Amend the Linnie Lac Sanitary Sewer District By
and Between The City of Muskego and the City of New Berlin” pending approval by the City
Attorney.

To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Review vision corner encroachment request for monument sign for a new
commercial building at the Northeast corner of Moorland and Janesville.
Date: April 12, 2013
Muskego Retail Center is requesting that their proposed monument sign be located
within the City’s standard vision setback area. This area is described and shown on the
attached code section and sketch of the proposed sign location. Given the geometrics
of this intersection (signalized four land divided in all directions), there is no need to
enforce the vision corner setback in this situation. Per City code, Vision Setback Area
variations may be allowed by the Public Works Committee.
Recommendation:
Allow placement of the monument sign in the vision setback area as shown on the
attached sketch.

Public Works Committee
To: Public Works Committee
From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Subject: Discuss revised Prioritization of Recreational Trail Construction and
potential authorization to proceed with Waukesha County engineering
assistance for CTH OO recreational trail design
Date: April 12, 2013
The Parks and Recreation Board has completed their discussion of the attached revised
recreational trail construction plan. This plan is meant to be a guideline for future trail
design and construction efforts.
The plan for 2014 construction includes the segment of trail along CTH “OO” (North
Cape Road) from Durham Drive to STH 36 (Loomis). This plan has been put together
with the idea that staff will rely on assistance from consulting engineers for many of
these sections of pathways. I would like to utilize Waukesha County for survey and
design of the CTH “OO” segment. I would like to move ahead with a design agreement
with the County that would be taken to a future Finance Committee and Common
Council Meetings for approval as the design dollars are not currently in the 2013
budget. However, by allowing design to start now, we will have enough time to utilize
County staff and ensure proper communication with the residents throughout the
process.
I am proposing we utilize in house staff for the survey and design of the Woods Road
and Hardtke Drive segments. Hardtke Drive will be constructed in conjunction with
the road’s rehabilitation while the Woods Road and CTH “OO” segments will be stand-
alone projects.
Recommendation for Action:
Approve moving forward with a design agreement with Waukesha County for the
survey and design of the CTH “OO” trail segment which will be brought before
Finance and Council for final approvals for a 2013 expenditure.
