PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1993
The meeting was called to order at 7:10 P.M. by Chairman
Sanders. Also present were Committee Members Schneider,
Woodard, Utility Superintendent Scott Kloskowski, Ald.
Schneider, Mayor De Angelis, Financial Consultant Seegar
Swanson, City Engineers Mike Campbell and Ken Ward, and those
per the attached list.
The Committee reviewed status of the following projects:
Hillendale-North of Hwy. L Sewer & Water Project - Mayor De
Angelis reported that he, Superintendent Loughney and
Superintendent Kloskowski had met with a representative from
Madison Underground, the bonding company, and the bonding
company's attorney to solve road conditions.
Valley/Lions/Pioneer Water Project - Restoration has started.
Southeast Sewer - Approval has been received from MMSD and the
DNR and the City Engineers have started design.
The Committee reviewed results of surveys received from
affected property owners in the Boxhorn/Ryan/Groveway areas as
to the need for sewer service. Surveys were mailed to 104
properties and returns were as follows: 42 "Yes" and 24 "No".
The Committee reviewed correspondence received from Waukesha
County Department of Health, dated May 19, 1993, which included
a list of the information found in their files for properties
on Boxhorn Drive and Groveway Lane. The soils in this area are
classified as having severe and very severe limitations for the
use of a soil absorption system. Private sewage systems
installed in this type of soil require more frequent pumping
and water conservation to maintain the system, however,
satisfactory long-term service cannot be expected. Ald.
Schneider moved to recommend approval of the design and
installation of the second lift station and collector sewers
for the Boxhorn/Ryan/Groveway area and to recommend approval of
the a Preliminary Resolution Declaring Intent to Exercise
Special Assessment Police Powers Under §66.60, Wisconsin
Statutes, as to Sanitary Sewer Assessment Area for
Boxhorn/Groveway/Ryan Sewer Project. Seconded by Ald. Woodard,
motion carried.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from Zimmerman
Engineering Corporation, dated May 12, 1993, which addressed
the City's request to locate the proposed flow restrictor
facilities on the force main, downstream of the McShane Lift
Station, with Representative Scott Anderson. MMSD has agreed
with the request. Ald. Sanders moved to authorize the Mayor to
sign the correspondence indicating that the City concurs with

the concept of installing flow restrictor facilities on the
force main downstream of the McShane Sewage Pump Station.
Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed correspondence from MMSD regarding
connection to floor drains in garages which states that garage
floor drains cannot be connected to the sanitary sewer. MMSD
also states that the City's Municipal Code should have a
section which prohibits this. Ald. Schneider moved to direct
the City Attorney to draft an ordinance incorporating MMSD
Rules and Regulations which prohibits anyone from running a
drain from a garage to a sanitary sewer in an area where a
separate system of sewers is required or is in use, catch
basins, foundation drains, downspout drains, floor drains
receiving unpolluted water, or any other fixtures or
appurtenances which do not carry or convey sanitary sewage
shall not be connected, directly or indirectly, to District
sewers, including intercepting sewers or branches thereof.
Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried.
Mr. James V. Miles, MSI General Corporation appeared before the
Committee to request sewer and water service for two possible
locations for the Muskego/Norway School District. Ald.
Schneider moved to request the City Engineers to review sewer
capacity and connection options for proposed administration
building and future school at Woods Road and Racine Avenue site.
Seconded by Ald. Sanders, motion carried. The District has
also requested permission to install a septic system for a
possible District Office at the Mill Valley Site since the
nearest sewer connection is 1300 feet away. Ald. Sanders moved
to deny request and direct that the site be connected to
sewers. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed request for determination of REC charge
for the following:
Overlook Bay Club House The Committee determined that a charge
of two (2) RECs will be given to start pending actual usage
history received from meter.
VFW Post The Committee determined that a charge of one and
one -quarter (1.25) RECs will be given as per Chart.
The Committee requests that the Sewer Utility Clerk provide the
Committee with a list of other existing club houses for their
review at the June meeting.
The Committee reviewed the proposed amendments to the Sewer
Assessment Policy. Seegar Swanson recommended that when
controlled access status ends, the assessment will be paid at
the rate of the original project's assessment, plus accrued
interest at the rate in the Final Resolution of the original
project. This would be uniform for both the Sewer Assessment

Policy and the Water Assessment Policy. The Committee will
further review at the June meeting.
Stan Potrykus appeared before the Committee to discuss sewer
connections to three lots on Mystic Drive and Woods Road for
Ludwig/Strampe. Ald. Sanders moved to allow lots 1 and 3 to
connect to existing manholes; one on Woods Road and one on
Mystic Drive, and lot 2 to be connected to an existing riser in
the main. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion carried. The
Committee determined that there would be no assessment for
Parcel 2 as it received an assessment as part of the Woods
Road/Mystic to Durham Sewer Project; there would be no
assessment for Parcel 1 as any sewer main installed on Woods
Road, west of Mystic Drive, will be put in by the developer;
there will be a theoretical assessment for Parcel 3 for the 120
ft. of frontage at the last project rate of $43.16; with the
understanding that if the landowner extends a sewer main south
on Mystic Drive, within the next five (5) years, the City would
reimburse the front foot assessment.
Utility Superintendent Kloskowski discussed with the. Committee
the status of Well Site Investigations. The Committee
determined that a letter should be sent to Waste Management
clarifying that there is a 400 ft. setback from center line of
Hillendale Drive. It is the City's intent to use the full 400
• ft. setback for a water storage reservoir site. Ald. Sanders
moved to direct the City Engineers to implement the first phase
of the geophysical study. Seconded by Ald. Schneider, motion
carried.
The Committee discussed with the Finance Consultant the
interest rate for MW6-88 Water Project. Seegar recommended
that the City does not attempt to adjust interest rates for
individual past projects and the Committee agreed.
The Committee was advised by the City Clerk that David Beierle,
W180 S7695 Pioneer Drive would appear at the meeting to request
water service. Mr. Beierle did not appear and the Committee
recommends that Mr. Beierle be contacted and advised of the
Committee's policy on receipt of a petition of 50% of the
participants requesting water service.
The City discussed PSC water rate proposed increase and will
review at the June meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 11:40 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
