Regular Meeting
Thursday, February 3, 2011, 5:30 pm
City Hall, 31 S. Madison St., Evansville, Wisconsin
MINUTES
I. Call to Order. The meeting was called to order at 5:40 pm by Chair Mason Braunschweig. Present: Alderpersons Mason Braunschweig, Diane Roberts and Jim Brooks. Also present: Mayor Sandy Decker, Finance Director Lisa Novinska and City Administrator Dan Wietecha.
II. Approve Agenda. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to approve the agenda. Motion approved unanimously.
III. Minutes of January 6, 2011. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to waive the reading of and to approve the minutes as presented. Motion approved unanimously.
IV. Citizen Appearances. None.
V. Water & Light Bills. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to accept the Water & Light bills in the amount of $612,363.68. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
VI. City Bills. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to accept the City bills in the amount of $2,762,345.30. FLR questioned the Economic Development Committee’s decision to pay $1,000 to the Chamber of Commerce for business park identification. Under current budget and purchasing policies, it is within the EDC’s discretion to support business park identification rather than publication of the business directory. FLR noted that it hopes the business directory would still be published despite losing the city’s financial support. FLR noted its displeasure at paying the Chamber to hire its president for the work; if done by a city board, this would likely violate conflict of interest laws. FLR noted that it expects EDC to not divert moneys budgeted for the business inventory database. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
VII. Unfinished Business:
a. Contingency Budget. Wietecha noted a September-October 2009 article from Public Management magazine regarding financial policies and procedures. FLR agreed that the city already does much of the recommended policies, but some areas could be improved. The article will likely be distributed prior to a future Committee of the Whole meeting.
b. Assistant Aquatics Director. Wietecha explained that the recommendation from Park Board and the Aquatics Director was to essentially make the position an adult and have the senior staff rotate through it. FLR particularly appreciated the idea of having all senior staff rotate through the position during the season. FLR asked that the proposed changes be made to the written position description and brought back for consideration March 3.
VIII. New Business:
a. Sewer Connection Fees. Brooks and Braunschweig agreed to sponsor Ordinance 2011-02, Affirming Sewer Connection Fees. First reading will occur at the Common Council meeting on February 7.
b. Budget Amendments. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Braunschweig, to recommend to Common Council approval of Resolution 2011-01, Approving Year-End Amendments to the 2010 Budget and New-Year Amendments to the 2011 Budget. Wietecha reviewed the recommended amendments, including changes related to grants and fundraising, computer replacement, and training part-time police officers. The amendments are meant to recognize specific issues that should be reflected in the budget, not to true-up variances in the department budgets. Novinska noted that preliminary year-end financial statements would be distributed within the next week. Decker said the remodeling and construction of the Police Station and Police/EMS Garage still has an outstanding budget amendment from 2009. FLR agreed the Police/EMS project should be completed and asked that a final budget amendment be on the March agenda. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
c. Donations and Fundraising Policy. Wietecha noted some inconsistency in how and when departments are allowed to fundraise or take donations. Several budget amendments were needed to accommodate fundraising activities. For fairness to the departments and understanding by the public, he recommended a donations and fundraising policy. FLR said that fundraising may be appropriate for “outside the budget” activities but not for normal operations. FLR asked that best practices from other communities be researched.
d. Business Sponsorship of Baseball Program. Wietecha gave an overview of a proposed business advertising sponsorship for the youth baseball program. Sponsorships around $100 to $150 per team would allow registration fees to be reduced and provide funding for equipment replacement. It also plays to a “keep it local” sentiment. Words such as “saloon” or “tavern” would be prohibited since it is a youth program. Updated pricing for shirts is needed before completing the budget for the program, including calculations of sponsorship levels and registration fees. Park Board was favorable when the proposal was shared with them. FLR agreed the business sponsorship should proceed.
e. Youth Baseball Coordinator. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Braunschweig, to approve filling the Youth Baseball Coordinator position. Motion approved unanimously.
f. 535 East Main Street (former police station). FLR asked that the question of re-listing the former police station be held until the March meeting.
g. AP Accounting Class Project. Wietecha explained that Eric Busse had approached him about having the AP Accounting Class do a financial overview of the city similar to what they did last year for the school district. FLR indicated it could be a good learning experience for the students.
IX. Adjournment. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Braunschweig, to adjourn the meeting. Motion approved unanimously at 7:05 pm.

II. Approve Agenda. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to approve the agenda. Motion approved unanimously.
III. Minutes of December 9, 2010. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to waive the reading of and to approve the minutes as presented. Motion approved unanimously.
IV. Citizen Appearances. None.

VI. City Bills. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to accept the City bills in the amount of $316,068.68. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
VII. Unfinished Business:
a. Mailing Meter. Roberts made a motion, seconded by Brooks, to recommend to Common Council approval of a 63 month lease with MAILwaukee Mailing & Shipping for a mailing meter. Wietecha commented the lease was less than the current lease with Pitney Bowes. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
b. Contingency Budget. Wietecha noted this would continue to be an agenda item over the next few months.
VIII. New Business:
a. Eager Free Public Library. The library’s fundraiser for new materials purchase was very successful. They are carrying over $4517.48 from 2010 to 2011.
b. Assistant Aquatics Director. Wietecha explained that discussion about the Assistant Aquatics Director position should not be seen as criticism of the individuals that have filled the position the last few years, but some concerns were learned this past summer. There was an inherent disconnect in allowing a 16 or 17 year old to hold the position while requiring an 18 year old to be on duty during absence of the Aquatics Director. The position could be made eligible only for an adult, perhaps a teacher wanting part-time work during the summer. Another option for the position included eliminating it with other staff absorbing its work duties; this could improve some staff morale problems. The Committee asked that the Aquatics Director and the Park Board provide input on how these options might impact organization and operation at the pool.
c. City Council Compensation. Wietecha explained there is some confusion in the City Code regarding compensation of City Council and Citizen Committee members. Some committees are specifically identified as being paid, some committees are named as paid as determined by the City Council, and other committees are simply not listed. The Committee agreed that permanent standing committees should be compensated; while, ad hoc committees created for a temporary issue or without fixed number of members and fixed terms should not be compensated. Braunschweig and Roberts offered to sponsor an ordinance to clarify the City Code language.
d. Certificate of Deposit. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to approve non-renewal of $250,000 general fund ten-month certificate of deposit (CD) with Union Bank and Trust. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
e. Money Market. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to approve investment of $350,000 general fund balance into a money market account with Union Bank and Trust. The Committee noted the slightly better interest rate and liquidity of the money market. Motion approved unanimously on a roll call vote.
IX. Adjournment. Brooks made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to adjourn the meeting. Motion approved unanimously at 6:20 pm.

The TRACS system is still experiencing problems and continues to be a work in progress getting the “bugs” worked out.
The police department is working toward creating an “Evansville Emergency Monitoring System” or (EEMS). The system is an automatic dialer that residents have connected to their phone.
