matter. He noted that in the Public Safety
Committee meeting minute of June 7th, a denial was made in this
matter. Radermacher clarified that the
Committee denied the request for a pedestrian sign in the middle of the road,
and O’Malley noted that was due to the fact that St. Croix Street is an
emergency route. Radermacher indicated
that the Committee instead agreed to repaint the crosswalk and ensure adequate
signage.
MOTION
by O’Connell, seconded by Wyland, to approve repainting the crosswalk at Third
and St. Croix Street, with adequate “Pedestrian Crossing” signage. All ayes,

VALLEY ECOWATER: darnold
indicated that this lot was one of three created in the St. Croix Business Park
near the GM facility. St. Croix Valley
Ecowater would occupy part of the initial building and possibly lease the
remaining space. The Plan Commission
was recommending approval of the final development plans with the conditions
noted on the issue sheet. Darnold
stated that this was a two-phase project and the landscaping was only for the
first stage. Phase 2 would be subject
to the same review process as Phase 1.
Brian Hinz of Elliott Architects was present to answer questions. Wyland asked about the timing of Phase 2,
and Darnold stated that there was no specific timeline, but it may happen
within three years. Wyland asked about
lot maintenance of the undeveloped portion.
Darnold indicated the undeveloped area would be maintained in a similar
fashion to other undeveloped areas in the St. Croix Business Park. O’Malley asked Mr. Hinz whether he felt the
parking layout would accommodate 18-wheelers.
Hinz stated that he didn’t see a problem and noted that vehicular
traffic would consist almost exclusively of single-axle trucks and regular
vehicles.

seconded by O’Connell, to approve the final development plans for a 10,032

FREESTANDING SIGN ON STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AT 900 CREST VIEW DRIVE, PRAIRIE
POINTE PROFESSIONAL CENTER/MARK ERICKSON:
Darnold
reviewed the recommendation from the Plan Commission and noted this was an
usual request due to the large right-of-way width in the area. O’Malley discussed the striping of parking
spaces for the project.
MOTION by O’Malley, second by
Radermacher, to approve the placement of the identification sign proposed by
Prairie Partners of Hudson for the Prairie Pointe Offices, 900 Crest View

replacement of the sign if maintenance or construction of utilities are
necessary within the right-of-way, with the agreement being prepared by the
City Attorney, and that final plans are to be reviewed by the Plan Commission
prior to construction. All ayes, (6) MOTION
CARRIED.
APPLICATION OF J L & M, inc. for class b beer and
class b liquor license d/b/a twisted grille, 501 second street, for the period
of 7/1/06 to 6/30/07: City Attorney Munkittrick indicated
that the Wisconsin Department of Revenue has indicated that no license can be
voted on for these premises until issues with the DOR can be resolved. It was noted that this license was for the
period commencing July 1st and that the license for the remainder of
June was approved at the last meeting pending resolution of the matter with the
DOR.
MOTION by O’Malley, seconded by
O’Connell, to postpone action on this application until such time the issues
with the Department of Revenue are resolved to the satisfaction of the City
Attorney. Melissa Dahl, representing J
L & M, Inc., was present and asked if the license could be approved based
on a contingency. Munkittrick indicated
that it could not. It was noted that
there may be a Special Council meeting yet this month concerning another
license issue, and it may be possible to handle both items at this time, if the
DOR has the matter resolved. All ayes
(6), MOTION CARRIED.
APPLICATION OF darla’s holding CO. for class b beer
and class c wine license d/b/a darla’s uptown grill, 840 carmichael road, for
the period of 7/1/06 to 6/30/07:
Attorney
Munkittrick indicated the Municipal Code prohibits issuance as long as there
are outstanding City claims. She
indicated that the Council’s options were denying the license, or denying the
license unless the payments are made by June 30th and the applicant
requests a special Council meeting to act on the matter.
MOTION by Morrissette, second by
O’Malley, to deny the application of Darla’s Holding Co. for a Class B Beer and
Class C Wine license for Darla’s Uptown Grill, 840 Carmichael Road, for the period
7/1/06 to 6/30/07, unless all City claims are paid by June 30, 2006, and the
applicant requests a special Council meeting to act on the matter. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.
REQUEST
OF MARK CHRISTOFFERSEN (D/B/A GOLF LINKS) FOR AN ORDINANCE TO CREATE A NEW
CLASS OF BEER LICENSE FOR HIS ESTABLISHMENT: Attorney Munkittrick explained that the City’s Code
differs from State law by establishing a requirement for Class B Beer license
holders that 50% of their sales be for food, which is also the State requirement
for Class C Wine licenses.
Christoffersen has requested a change in the City ordinance. Munkittrick noted that the original license
was issued in error, as he did not meet the 50% food requirement. However, the
City cannot continue to issue the license because it violates the Municipal
Code. Munkittrick emphasized that
legislation cannot be made specific to one individual or corporation. She also stated that no action could be
taken that evening and that she was simply looking for direction from the
Council.
Morrissette noted that there was no
public nuisance with this facility, and he hoped that a license could be
issued. Attorney Munkittrick
reemphasized that the non-issuance was not related to the facility, but that he
did not meet the requirements. Breault
stated that he was concerned about creating too many different types of
licenses. O’Malley concurred with
Munkittrick’s comments that Christoffersen did nothing wrong and did not
mislead the Council at the time of the original issuance of the license, but
rather it was a City error.
MOTION by O’Malley, seconded by
O’Connell to deny the request to make changes to the Municipal Code related to
Class B Beer licenses. Two (2) Ayes
(O’Connell, O’Malley), Four (4) Noes: (Koch, Morrissette, Radermacher, Wyland),
MOTION FAILED. Morrissette asked
whether language could be crafted for this type of business and Munkittrick
reiterated that legislation couldn’t be specific to this business. Christoffersen spoke briefly and stated that
he was hopeful something could be done.
Koch stated that even if the restaurant restriction were lifted, the
Council would still have the ability to deny a license based on its
merits. Radermacher indicated his
agreement and asked whether this could be done as a seasonal license. Breault requested that Munkittrick
determine what options were available and report back to the Council.
APPLICATION
OF WARD MANAGEMENT OF HUDSON, FOR RENEWAL OF CLASS B BEER LICENSE D/B/A PIZZA
HUT AT 1550 CREST VIEW DRIVE, FOR THE PERIOD 7/1/06 TO 6/30/07: MOTION

Review BIDS AND CONSIDER AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
PURCHASE OF 340 PARKING METERS: Sergeant Jensen
presented the bids and provided examples of the two parking meters being
considered. After reviewing the bids,
Sgt. Jensen recommended that the Council accept the bid from Parking Meter
Services. He stated he believed the
Duncan meters with metal housings would be more durable, and the reconditioned
meters proposed would have the same warranty as new Duncan meters. The reconditioned meters would provide a
cost savings of approximately $15,000.
MOTION by O’Malley, second by
Morrissette, to approve the bid submitted by Parking Meter Services of $40,740,
for 340 Duncan electronic meters, 55 Duncan single housings, 20 double meter

STORMWATER UTILITY ENGINEERING
INFORMATION: O’Malley stated that the Public Works Committee
had discussed with Angela Popenhagen, the City’s engineer from Bonestroo &
Associates, the cost of a Feasibility Study to create a Stormwater
Utility. O’Malley noted that the
Utility would be similar to the Water and Sewer Utility whereby costs to
maintain the stormwater system would be removed from the tax roll and charged
to customers, based on their contribution to the stormwater system. Popenhagen
and Eulberg will bring a cost for the study back to the Finance Committee for
consideration. Wyland asked Popenhagen
whether the Utility would cover the whole City or just new development;
Popenhagen indicated it would cover the entire City. She also addressed Wyland’s question about the rate structure,
noting that existing utilities develop classes of customers based on average
amounts of runoff each type of user places into the stormwater system.
emergency
repair estimate re: walnut street/6th
street washout: resolution 8-06: O’Malley noted that a section of
Walnut Street was in immediate need of repair.

allow the City to proceed with the repairs.
MOTION by Morrissette, second by O’Malley, to suspend the rules to allow
immediate action on Resolution 8-06.
All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.

MOTION by
O’Malley, second by Radermacher to approve the quote of Zappa Brothers in the
amount of $28,886.00, to make the emergency repairs at Walnut Street and 6th
Street, with the funds coming from the Contingency Fund. Wyland asked if the repairs would send the
stormwater to the south side of the road and away from potential erosion
areas. O’Malley and Popenhagen indicated
that there would be a swale on the south side of the roadway to divert the
water. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.
HANLEY ROAD STORM SEWER PROJECT
– REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS:
O’Malley explained that this project would be funded by the escrowed dollars
paid by property owners in the area. MOTION by O’Malley, second by Morrissette,
to approve the plans and specifications for the Hanley Road Storm Sewer Project
and authorize the advertisement for bids for the project. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.
PURCHASE OF BOOM TRUCK: O’Malley noted that this was an information only item. The used boom truck the City owns is no
longer usable. The City is currently
leasing a truck at a cost of $2,700 per month, and the cost of a new vehicle is
approximately $150,000. The funds
allocated in the 2005-2006 bond issue were utilized for the Coulee Road Storm
Sewer Repair Project. The Public Works
Committee will be requesting this amount in the 2007 budget. It was noted that there was a six-month wait
for such a vehicle from the time of order.
Discussion of purchasing used versus new vehicles took
place. According to Eulberg, the
current truck used by the City is not tall enough for all of the City’s
needs. Breault asked whether we could
use an Xcel Energy truck, and Eulberg stated we could not. Breault also suggested contacting the City
of River Falls to see what they utilize.
Radermacher asked if there was funding for the $2,700 monthly lease, and
Administrator Willi indicated there was not.
Breault asked about a portable unit he had discovered. Eulberg again indicated it wouldn’t fit our
needs, but that the supplier was checking on alternatives.

received a 3.72 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

score from 4.0. MOTION by O’Malley,
second by O’Connell, to suspend the rules to allow immediate action on
Resolution 7-06. Wyland asked if time
was of the essence or whether first reading would be allowable. Schreiber indicated that the report was due
to the State of Wisconsin by June 30th. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION by O’Malley, second by Wyland, to adopt the following

storage needs at st. croix
rowing club: O’Malley
indicated that this was an information only item. The St. Croix Rowing Club has outgrown the building they rent
from the City for boat storage near the St. Croix River. They approached the Public Works Committee concerning
additional storage. The other building
in this area is currently utilized for storage by the Hudson Booster Club and
by the City. The Committee will be
considering construction of an additional building near Grandview Park for use
by the City and the Boosters, which could free up storage buildings near the
river.

reserved stalls in the Public Safety lot, with appropriate signage, for EMS
staff. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.
SAFETY ISSUES ON VINE STREET AT DIAMOND DRIVE:
Radermacher stated that the Public Safety Committee was recommending the
placement of stop signs on Vine Street at Diamond Drive to make the
intersection a four-way stop. Discussion
ensued concerning other intersections in the area with four-way stops, the
diversion of traffic on to residential streets to avoid the stop signs, and the
issue of the failure by vehicular traffic to yield the right-of-way to
pedestrians at all intersections.
Discussion also took place regarding the placement of a temporary
free-standing stop sign in the middle of the intersection, until motorists
become used to the new sign.
MOTION by Radermacher, second by Morrissette, to convert the Vine
Street/Diamond Drive intersection to a four-way stop, to include pedestrian
crossing paint on Vine Street in both directions, and to place temporary
free-standing stop signs in the middle of Vine Street to alert drivers to the
new signage. Discussion took place
concerning the installation of solar, flashing stop signs. Costs were to be determined, but at this
point, the signs would be regular stop signs. All ayes (6), MOTION CARRIED.

analysis had been completed for the triple left-turn lane from Crest View Drive
onto Carmichael Road. A discussion was
held concerning the private drive off Vine Street south toward Knolls Ridge
subdivision; Darnold indicated they are continuing to work on the issue. Radermacher asked Popenhagen whether the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation had made a decision on the triple
left-turn lane. Popenhagen indicated
that she believed if the DOT were satisfied that the project would handle the
traffic, they would approve it.
