Ditch said the impacted line had been scheduled for root-treatment maintenance later in 2025 and that the overflow happened about three months earlier than planned. Staff pumped affected basements and said the obstruction was addressed; Ditch stated that the city responded and notified DNR.

The director also outlined extensive traffic-management and public-service planning for the upcoming NFL Draft. Highlights included:

- Coordination with Discover Green Bay, the NFL, C3, the Village of Ashwaubenon, Brown County Highway Department, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Wisconsin State Patrol on traffic flow and security.

- A surge in expected charter buses: Discover Green Bay’s count for Thursday rose from about 40 to 152, prompting staff to identify a large parking area (including evaluation of Lombardi Avenue and nearby lots) to hold buses so attendees can find them after the event.

- Parking and street operations: the city will maintain a 3 a.m.–5 a.m. overnight parking ban during draft events to allow street sweeping and garbage collection; staff will swap collection routes (for example, moving Thursday routes to Monday) to avoid working in high-concentration areas.

- Garbage handling: staff will increase patrols and street sweeping in neighborhoods expected to receive overflow parking and tailgating; the city will pick up early set-outs but expects an early-setout charge (cited in the meeting as $38) for some collections.

Ditch said the traffic-management team has been meeting weekly for two months and that the city is ‘‘further ahead’’ on traffic planning than some comparators. He asked staff to draft clear driving directions for four lawn-parking zones and to produce GIS maps to be shared with Discover Green Bay and tied into the NFL One Pass app.

Committee members voted to receive the director’s report and place it on file. Staff said additional media outreach, press releases and social-media notices will follow as plans are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Improvement & Services Committee 3-12-2025","oneSentenceSummary","City Department of Public Works told the Improvement and Service Committee it responded to a sanitary-sewer discharge caused by root intrusion and is coordinating detailed traffic, bus parking and garbage plans for the upcoming NFL Draft, including a predicted 152 charter buses and temporary garbage-collection changes.","taxTitle","Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin","taxId",2853,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6278077,"Improvement and Service Committee approves downtown sign permit and five public-works contracts",279,51000,330000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2643103-3c65e72975feb530355b02f3214aa990&start=51&end=330","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2643103-3c65e72975feb530355b02f3214aa990/thumbnail_51000.jpg","/articles/6278077/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Improvement-and-Service-Committee-approves-downtown-sign-permit-and-five-public-works-contracts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278077-b13611d0d532b062c7719e8bf726374c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131426&Signature=EoH2EGm~5Lf7s4PLKWhsQsBSNlaK0jj3Ci0na5FVZ~vc11xI2qbJs7XHUXvS9Fri8BbYn~87gMeZxQb4QDMKTwM1nN569ai8HaUlS2nnnTSUMobxXVAAwnxUQc25m20T6HtofvJlZR1RS7wv-fvDlkZaaygytZi-vPivaxX~zCXIkCVE-v-hwLD5oNtmU3X6nX4g8xAKahyfp-skMWoXH~B9IFcmAqbYAAVuvgHFEN9xuFQLgI9UlAInX~QNejvMWu1eSXI7fP4tRVL5aMmHTbBQNav6n8H2IQst8-0yCgHWWadQgTM0VsNbKf~AJVnCP73uKAN2vOLol4pAbCPNBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Green Bay Improvement and Service Committee on March 12 approved a wall-mounted sign and awning for Black Saddle at 21 North Washington Street, authorized staff to award a ramp repair contract and reported several contract awards for parking-ramp, bridge and sanitary sewer work.

The permit for Black Saddle was approved subject to a hold-harmless agreement and proof of insurance and authorizes the mayor and city clerk to execute the agreement. Committee members heard that revocable occupancy permits of this type are commonly issued and that staff plans to amend the city ordinance to make clear these permits can be handled at the staff level going forward.

Staff asked the committee for authority to award, at the staff level, the annual prestressed concrete ramp repairs at 225 Pine Street, with the award to be reported at the next Improvement and Service meeting. Committee members approved letting staff make the award and report back.

The committee also approved awarding the following contracts as recommended by Department of Public Works staff:

- Western Construction Group: parking-ramp repairs (GramA 125) — $598,150. Staff said Western was the low responsive, responsible bidder of six bids received.

- Zenith Tech Inc.: Seventh Street bridge (P 0 5 7 1 8) rehabilitation — $173,419.20. Staff described a concrete-overlay and approach replacement to extend the structure's useful life and estimated completion roughly by August.

- Peters Concrete Company: Finger Road sanitary sewer and water-main extension — $422,866.55. Staff said the project will extend sewer and water toward Northview Road and will support nearby development.

All motions were approved by voice vote. Where members named motions or seconds in the record, those were recorded in the meeting minutes; the committee did not record individual roll-call tallies on the contract approvals in the transcript.

The committee received a report of actions taken by the Department of Public Works (sidewalk, tree and brush work) and moved to place that report on file. The items approved by the committee will advance to the common council for final action next week. The committee’s next meeting is scheduled for April 9.","At its March 12 meeting, the Green Bay Improvement and Service Committee approved a downtown sign and awning permit, authorized staff-level award of a ramp-repair contract, and awarded four construction contracts including parking-ramp, bridge and sewer projects.","actionData","errors"]
