be reached regarding the purchase. Ald. Werner moved to recommend approval.
Ald. Fiedler seconded; motion carried.
Discuss Historical Society Request Regarding Repair of Barn
The Mayor stated that Ald. Borgman and Historical Society President Jerry Hulbert were
present. They gave the following update:
The barn roof must be replaced.
Estimate received from Tri-County Roofing is for $5,400.
Only the center portion (where the holes are) would be replaced. The repairs
must be done this year, or the truss structure will be lost.
The Historical Society would like the City to split the cost.
The Mayor stated that the City Engineer and Public Works Superintendent Delikat do
not believe the City should invest any money at this time because there are still
structural issues with the support beams underneath the roof. She is suggesting that
the Historical Society pay the entire $5,400 up front and once the structural issues are
addressed, the City could reimburse the Historical Society. The Mayor stated that the
City does bear some responsibility because it does own the building. Ald. Borgman
stated that the Society would look for assistance from a student from MSOE regarding
the structural issues. That probably will not happen until the students are back in school
in fall.
Mayor Chiaverotti stated the historical significance of the building is debatable; however
historical items are stored there.
Mr. Hulbert stated there are several options regarding the building. It cannot be used by
the public because of the structural issues. The building can be repaired, which would
probably cost $100,000. Given that expense, a new building could be constructed. The
question is where the money will come from. The other option is that the building can
be left as it is and be used for storage. However, the roof still needs to be repaired.
Repairing the roof will not affect addressing the structural issues. Ms. Mueller stated
that the money could be taken from Capital Expenditures. Ald. Werner moved to
approve that the City contribute an amount not to exceed $3,000 for repair of the
barn roof. Ald. Schaumberg seconded; motion carried.
Recommendation Regarding Hazard Mitigation Grant Application and
Appropriation of Funds for Acquisition and Demolition of S76 W18109 Janesville
Road
City Engineer Dave Simpson requested authorization to apply for a DNR grant under
the Hazard Mitigation Program. He stated that the property located at S76 W18109
Janesville Road has experienced repeated flooding and would qualify for the grant. Ald.
Werner and Fiedler expressed their support. Ald. Fiedler moved to recommend
approval. Ald. Schaumberg seconded. It was noted that the City’s share for the
project of $21,000 could be reduced by funding from MMSD. Motion carried.
VOUCHER APPROVAL
Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend approval of Utility Vouchers in the
amount $50,743.31. Ald. Fiedler seconded; motion carried.
Ald. Schaumberg moved to recommend approval of General Vouchers in the
