CONSENT AGENDA ITEM A: ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
SANITARY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS FOR CWWTP AND SWWTP — SEC GROUP
IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $521,709
In attendance was City Engineer Steve Cieslica of SEC Group.
Alderman Peterson asked for an explanation of the proposed engineering
services agreement for the improvements to the CWWTP and SWWTP as proposed by
SEC Group.
Mr. Cieslica noted page 2 of the agreement outlined the scope of services, page
4 summarized the engineering and design services to be provided, and page 10
provided a breakdown of the man-hours required as well as a summary of the proposed
fees to be incurred.
City Administrator Maxeiner stated the City requested evaluation work be
included in the agreement, particularly as the CWWTP equipment is obsolete and
decaying.
Alderman Peterson noted many companies do this type of work and inquired why
no bids were sought to provide the work for the City. Mr. Cieslica responded there are
perhaps five companies which could complete the work being requested.
Alderman Glab inquired as to the estimated cost for the project. City
Administrator Maxeiner responded approximately $3.5-$4 million. Alderman Glab
recalled that data was previously accumulated regarding this project. He suggested the
old data could be updated and thereby reduce the cost of the engineering services
agreement. City Administrator Maxeiner responded previous data anticipated the

abandonment of the CWVVTP. The evaluation being sought at this time includes ten
additional years of service for the CVW TP.
Alderman Murgatroyd inquired if the agreement amount was a not-to-exceed---
figure. Mr. Cieslica responded in the affirmative.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Murgatroyd, to accept Staffs recommendation
to enter into an Engineering Services Agreement for sanitary system improvements of
the CWVVfP and SWVVTP with SEC Group in an amount not-to-exceed $521,709.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.

NOTHING— RIVERVIEW THEATER COMPANY
Assistant City Administrator Hobson stated a request was submitted by
Riverview Theater Company for a special use permit to host six performances of

March 30,2009
Page 6
The request also includes posting of a temporary banner on the chain link fence --,�
adjacent to the park entrance from July 20th until July 26th. Staff has reviewed the
request and supports the granting of the temporary use as presented.
Alderman Santi stated he looks forward to more events of this type being held in
the City.
Alderman Glab noted the established $300 fee might not be adequate to cover
the cost of providing City services over the six-day span of the event.
Alderman Schaefer concurred with Alderman Glab. He suggested fees for
temporary use in City parks be addressed at committee level.
Alderman Murgatroyd noted current fees are based upon the number of people
expected to attend an event. He opined once preparations to host the event have been
completed, the number of days an event occurs is immaterial.
Alderman Wimmer concurred with Alderman Murgatroyd.
Alderman Condon inquired if there were any issues with the hosting of the event
last year. Assistant City Administrator Hobson replied there were no issues brought
forward due to the hosting of the event.
Motion by Santi, seconded by Condon, to accept Staffs recommendation to grant
a temporary use permit for the use of Petersen Park for the presentation of
Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing on July 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26, 2009 as
requested by Riverview Theater Company and to allow the posting of a temporary sign
banner on the park's chain link fence advertising the event, as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT FOR REPAIRS OF ICE-DAMAGED PIERS AT
RIVIERA MARINA— REINWALL REPAIRS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $8.000
City Administrator Maxeiner stated as Council will recall, D's Marine Service
leases the City's Riviera Marina property, on an annual basis. The owner of the
business, Jerry Danko has informed the City there was substantial pier damage
incurred as a result of the harsh winter. Staff solicited quotes for pier repairs with the
lowest quote being submitted by Reinwall Repairs in the amount of $8,000. It is
therefore Staffs recommendation to authorize Reinwall Repairs to repair the damaged
piers in the amount not-to-exceed $8,000.
Alderman Santi noted the repairs must be done.
March 30,2009
Page 7
Alderman Glab inquired if the piers were removed from the water during the
winter would the repair costs be reduced. City Administrator Maxeiner stated Staff
investigated and found the cost of removing the piers and replacing them for the
spring/summer season would be about the same as providing new piers.
Alderman Wimmer concurred with Staffs recommendation noting Reinwall
Repairs has always done a good job in the past for similar projects.
Motion by Santi, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staffs recommendation to
authorize the repair of the piers at Riviera Marina by Reinwall Repairs in an amount not-
to-exceed $8,000.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Murgatroyd, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.

FIELD LIGHTING AT PETERSEN PARK FIELD #2 — CHANGE ORDER #1 IN THE
AMOUNT OF $30,000
City Administrator Maxeiner stated the contract for lighting Petersen Park Field
#2 was awarded to Ridgeview Electric by Council at its February 9, 2009 regularly
scheduled meeting. Staff was notified on March 25th that the contractor has
encountered difficulties in providing the needed 15' concrete base at existing locations.
Consequently, with the relocation of the concrete base for standards, an additional
$30,000 is anticipated for the complete of this portion of the project. City Administrator
Maxeiner noted funding for the additional expense would come from the Parks
Developer Donation Fund.
Alderman Condon stated the City is committed to the project and expressed
disappointment with the added cost, but acknowledged the City should continue to
move forward with it.
Alderman Santi inquired if the anticipated $30,000 could be a not-to-exceed
amount. City Administrator Maxeiner responded if the cost exceeds $30,000, Staff
would come back to Council for authorization.
Alderman Murgatroyd reiterated that the Parks Developer Donation Fund must
be used for park-related items.
Alderman Peterson requested clarification regarding the need for the change
order. Steve Cieslica of SEC Group detailed the engineering technique required for
placement of light standards and the concrete base to be installed to support the
standards.
