Reid Rocheleau took the podium to mention his thoughts on the Parking Lot 12 - 1100 Clark Street by the Library

2. Consideration/Action to
award the 2008 Commuter Trail Under I39 Project #01-08 to Shulfer Enterprises out of Plover, WI in the amount of
$170,942.10; (Attachment)
Director Euclide wanted to add as mentioned in his report; we are waiting for approval from the Department of Transportation
before we can award this contract. They are concerned with them meeting their DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
Goal. If we don't have DOT approval by next Monday, Director Euclide recommends that we hold off on this until
we get it.
Alderperson Stroik moved, seconded by Alderperson Walther to award the 2008 Commuter Trail Under I39 Project #01-08
to Shulfer Enterprises in the amount of $170,942.10 once the DBE issue through the DOT is reviewed and approved.
Ayes all; nays none; motion carried.
3. Consideration/Action to
award the 2008 Goerke Field Site Development Project #11-08 to Mondo U.S.A. in the amount of $1,056,422.00; (Attachment)
Director Schrader and Jeff Bahling with Rettler Corporation came up to the podium to explain the bid tab that was
handed out at the beginning of the meeting. Jeff stated three bids were received, all reputable companies throughout
the state of Wisconsin. The low bid was from Mondo U.S.A in the amount of $1,056,422.00 for the synthetic turf
system for the field. There were also bids for the infrastructure of a future dome (Alternate "A1") which
upon the committee's review was not selected due to cost and timing of the project.
Director Schrader mentioned that it's not that the dome infrastructure has been dropped; it's that we could come
back later and install the dome.
Alderperson Stroik questioned if we would have to tear up the field to put in footing for the dome at a later time,
how much extra would that cost? Director Schrader responded; we looked at that and the bid to put the footings
in now with the vault boxes (for HVAC) would be around half a million dollars and not knowing the final numbers
on the dome, it wouldn't be a wise investment to do it at this time. It would be about $80,000.00 to cut the surface
of the tarp and put the footings back in vs. letting that money sit in the ground.
Mayor Halverson stated $100,000.00 up front will be City levy tax dollars invested into this capital project and
there's $50,000.00 per year for the next 10 years of room tax. C/T Schlice stated the payments will more than cover
the amount we will have to pay for debt service each year.
Alderperson Myers mentioned his disappointment with parking in that area at this time and going ahead with an expansion
without having something in place for parking doesn't seem right. Mayor Halverson stated we are now specifically
dealing with the turf but, it's possible that parking will be an ongoing and continuing conversation.
Alderperson Stroik moved, seconded by C/T Schlice to award the 2008 Goerke Field Site Development Project #11-08
to Mondo U.S.A in the amount of $1,056,422.00.
Ayes all; nays none; motion carried.
4. Airport Manager's Report;
(Attachment)
There were no questions regarding the Airport Manager's Report.
Alderperson Wiza wanted to mention he attended the fly-in last weekend and it's one of the best he's seen in a
long time. He even received comments from some of the residents that live in the area and didn't attend but were
able to sit in their backyards to watch the planes fly overhead. It was great all around!!! Director Euclide said
he would pass that along to the Pilot's Association. Mayor Halverson mentioned there were over 6 to 7,000 people
that attended.
Alderperson Walther moved, seconded by Alderperson Heart to accept the Airport Manager Report and place it on file.
Ayes all; nays none; motion carried.

Alderperson Heart asked about the Fire Station #2
Project and if it was going on schedule with the June 13, 2008 as the deadline? Director Euclide responded; everything
is on schedule, they will be meeting their deadline.
Alderperson Heart asked about the Patch Street Project when we will be painting the lines for bike riders. Director
Euclide responded; they have started and will finish as soon as possible. Some of that crew had to be pulled to
work on other projects. Mayor Halverson also mentioned that we will be getting to it as soon as possible.
Alderperson Brooks commented on the great job at the Church Street underpass.
Mayor Halverson moved, seconded by Alderperson Walther to accept the Director's Report and place it on file.
