Staff presented the draft and said the revision merges previous duties into one role and adds specific code-enforcement and property-maintenance responsibilities pulled from municipal ordinances. “Discussions with the mayor today did wanted to maybe specifically add property maintenance into number 4,” staff said, recommending property maintenance be a standalone duty in the new description.

Council members noted the position will report to the chief and that the merged assignment is intended to increase efficiency and community outreach. Doug (council/staff) emphasized the change dovetails with a recent ordinance amendment that gives the position the authority to issue citations for certain code violations. Staff said the new position would cap code-enforcement hours at about 20 per week and that the salary range was adjusted following a compensation study to reflect the added duties.

There was no formal action; the item was returned to staff for finalization and implementation planning. Council members expressed support for clearer, more specific language about property maintenance and asked staff to finalize the position description ahead of recruitment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Finance & Personnel Committee - April 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council members reviewed a revised community service officer job description that merges two positions, adds code-enforcement and property-maintenance duties, and sets the role at about 20 hours per week with a modest salary-range adjustment.","taxTitle","Monona, Dane County, Wisconsin","taxId",70921,"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},6087001,"Monona approves one Renew Monona owner-loan; another pulled from agenda",178,1850000,2028000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4&start=1850&end=2028","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4/thumbnail_1850000.jpg","/articles/6087001/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Monona-approves-one-Renew-Monona-owner-loan-another-pulled-from-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087001-2e45dc5ba17d6b2d36979f7f773ef3c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172889&Signature=b3nH43ZnCwQQYJlA8Qac6eKhU4eg8XU2ozZyU9xl~3RVPjAeiqDEdxsdtLLDaxm4~l7YQTjtros5OKN24IDn1wvr6BvHQRzd20ZDGw7V~h53n4-0gagFWJjiGM9o1JGFFA1ZJoYnUlaAVDAXcE5s6JlG3e-DQb6q6TRdTdVf4tLorRqX~JrgwQvqtFVupUT7C-QU5WvJSRIGFC1uOszgiqAhnEWJdwcD6WabWZ-dkb8T-J5gk6-azw0heh~xkoOWC0O6gY1fc6uBjllI5J~9150hOsYju1sJMZ0dPEtINnnxO87HcjcRArAvDLoAVXcCAL40mpLhkiGM17r6lY0VXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council on April 8 considered two Renew Monona owner-loan requests.

The council approved a Renew Monona major home-rehab loan for 4606 Midmore Road, applicants Alexander Gano and Ashley Bergeron. Staff said the total work cost for the kitchen remodel is just under $78,000 and that the Renew Monona program’s maximum loan amount is 50% of total eligible project cost. Staff corrected a typo in the application: the loan amount should be $38,912.10 rather than $39,000. Staff reported the applicants will use personal savings for their share and that work is scheduled to begin in June, all being well.

The motion to approve the loan passed on a recorded voice vote.","The council approved a Renew Monona major home-rehab loan for 4606 Midmore Road with a corrected loan amount of $38,912.10; a separate Renew Monona request for 5516 Pheasant Hill Road was pulled by staff and received no action.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6087006,"Council approves routine procurement awards, chip-seal project and accepts accounts-payable checks",141,1327000,1468000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4&start=1327&end=1468","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4/thumbnail_1327000.jpg","/articles/6087006/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Council-approves-routine-procurement-awards-chip-seal-project-and-accepts-accounts-payable-checks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087006-33fa1c837e276c3a4b61c308f439131e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172889&Signature=mMPRSQ-mMN7E39CN9F7EtDxn7aTPNeVQyEd5CRp-itQcTi12ThJlwVT45Kqy3nYVwuqYMtuMCnAMCGaMU7NQTEuoeVrE6EM02FAT~PMluFeP~le~l5iii7wMuBdbo5bRsy8NRy1DwyfiyHOFnY~1G3sZUQv72FHh9fSLRHRp03ZPdRdvc4Gqvt0ACr2iPncKtjZwWUyxOeCDZvEwlWk7zTXHREGI8C2DSONO~QftG2mBwHarDr8kOlnJdZ5Uq3Kfjbd3n74zzQ94A62FxS6aZ6TN1Jb98bNKnH4a9rl0igj7spCQwdBST2eGU7e13v2GMag4Ur3DMauIIm8rnAy5Vg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monona Finance Committee and Common Council on April 8 approved several procurement and routine-approval items on the consent calendar.

The low bid presented at the meeting was $510,593.90; the public-works presenter noted the bid was well below the project budget and recommended approval. The motion passed.

2025 chip-seal project: Staff reported bids for the annual chip-seal program covering about 43,000 square yards across 17 streets. Farner Asphalt provided the low base bid at $135,378.98; the council approved the award and staff said they will return to the May meeting with the separate street-resurfacing bid award.

Accounts payable: The council accepted general-fund accounts-payable checks dated March 14 through April 3, 2025. Staff noted routine operating expenses and several donation-funded payments (for example, library donation accounts) and development-agreement final payments; the acceptance motion passed.

The resolution allows the advisors to solicit and report pricing, with the council scheduled to consider an official sale at a future meeting when rates are finalized.

Mark (Finance staff) explained the resolution: “this is authorizing our financial advisors, Huntington, to go to the bond market.” He said the formal approval of the official sale will return to the council once market rates are known.

Mark walked the committee through adjustments that led to the $3.3 million figure, saying he compared the approved capital budget to current project needs and identified items to subtract or defer, including a $400,000 city campus design allowance that staff now expect could be postponed or folded into a later borrowing. He said certain bands are coming due in 2025 and will need refinancing into longer-term notes, and that the city will present final rates for approval at the next meeting.

A motion to approve the resolution was seconded by Patrick and passed on a voice/roll call vote.

Councilors and staff noted the financing step is procedural: the authorization lets advisors solicit bids and return an official sale for council action once pricing is known.","Council authorized the city’s financial advisor, Huntington, to go to market to sell $3.3 million in general obligation promissory notes, with the official sale to return to council for approval once rates are known.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6087016,"Monona approves Kelly Place stormwater budget amendment, contracts awarded to proceed",1166,54000,1220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4&start=54&end=1220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2892589-36341c374647d45406f396a0150612b4/thumbnail_54000.jpg","/articles/6087016/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Monona-approves-Kelly-Place-stormwater-budget-amendment-contracts-awarded-to-proceed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6087016-9c1522c039307dfce64acec23a35fd38/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172889&Signature=Y66ZaFhNXLKhmAwg1Jc2mPDCz60VFOLM7~IEpZhoVKF~x3KtpNCxrNYboB9V9fcClhKYonvdihTaHKmB7~RoElkjV5BVmNgjY43qpAHErL5FwG~gNE8sMwNLMMZDEaMld9nqLUAmc-6U~HADFGqghQIZf9TYAd9DpctcfSOxOuyE~4l--CfAQ5FSNUx009tqqoL2hNk2czYNA9h~fg1Z9RCfaNv4DDeMu8QP35yZbWQ4Dczu1UdEywMTS67NWqnBv26rsWpX~T6mfq6qi0UMHCNT-VDyq0kf5TBmrGXboHcVrHbDVFX5taPOfEPaBKu3JRjK3CXBPGQ73Z44ifR~QQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monona Finance Committee and Common Council on April 8 amended the 2025 capital budget for the Kelly Place stormwater project and approved a construction contract, after staff and council members debated contingency sizing and funding sources.

Dan (Public Works staff) told the committee the city had $1,860,000 budgeted for Kelly Place but that construction bids arrived higher than the estimate. “The bids came in at $1,965,883,” Dan said, and he asked for an additional $328,000 to cover the apparent low bid plus construction-management costs.

The request prompted debate over contingency levels. Mark (staff finance) explained why staff put a $50,000 contingency in the fiscal note and said the city could wrap additional costs into a future borrowing if necessary. Neil (staff/consultant) and other members urged the council to give the administrator a clear funding path so projects can proceed without repeated emergency meetings. “If we only have $50 and the cost of the item exceeds $50, then we have to stop the project and then we have to have an emergency meeting,” Dan said.

After discussion, the council adopted an amendment to the capital-budget resolution that reduced the stated contingency to $50,000 but authorized the city administrator to use up to $110,000 from the city’s fund balance if needed. The motion passed on a recorded voice vote.

The council then moved to the separate, related resolution awarding the construction contract. Brad (project staff) said the city received two bids and that Speedway Sand and Gravel was the apparent low bidder. Brad recommended awarding the contract to Speedway. Earlier staff comments gave the low bid as $1,965,883; Brad read the apparent low bid amount during the award presentation as approximately $1.90 million, creating a discrepancy between the two figures in the meeting record. The award motion passed.

The project will be paid upfront by the city; Dan noted the city expects approximately $1,150,000 in grant reimbursements after project completion from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Dane County stormwater grant programs. Dan also described project-specific cost drivers that increased the bids from the April 2024 estimate, including a 60-inch bypass storm main, engineered liners for the storm trap system, fencing and pavers, and the need for new imported backfill rather than reuse of existing soil.

Councillors and staff said they believed the design and construction plan were sound but emphasized the need for a funding mechanism that lets staff act quickly if unforeseen subsurface conditions arise. The council’s action combines a short-term authorization to proceed with a funding backstop from fund balance while preserving the option to include larger amounts in upcoming borrowings if needed.

Votes at a glance: the capital-budget amendment (resolution 25-4-2796) as amended passed; the construction contract award (resolution 25-4-2797) to Speedway Sand and Gravel passed.

Budget and next steps: staff said construction management services are budgeted at about $60,000 and that final grant reimbursements would be claimed after project completion. The city will proceed with contract execution following the council’s award vote.","City council amended the 2025 capital budget for the Kelly Place stormwater project—cutting the on-paper contingency to $50,000 while authorizing the city administrator to use up to $110,000 from fund balance—and awarded the construction contract to Speedway Sand and Gravel after bids exceeded the original estimate.","actionData","errors"]
