3) University of Wisconsin–Green Bay ALPR camera in city right-of-way — Committee approved installation subject to execution of a revocable occupancy permit (ROP), hold-harmless agreement and proof of insurance. Staff recommended approval; motion carried.

4) Utility easement along former South Oakland Avenue right-of-way (Seymour Park) — Committee approved establishing a recorded utility easement to accommodate a fiber upgrade by Turnkey Network Solutions (TKNS); parks department agreed to the corridor. Motion carried.

5) Developer’s agreement (Parcel 6H-1247-3) — Committee approved entering into a developer’s agreement with Safener Trust for pavement and utility work (cul-de-sac extension, sewer, water, streetlight) for the described lots; staff recommended approval.

6) Pilot: full sanitary sewer lateral replacement during reconstruction (I&I areas) — Committee approved a targeted pilot (see separate article).

7) Purchase of Iteris video detection cameras and signal controllers — Committee approved purchase of 22 Iteris video-detection camera systems ($402,028) from Mobotrex and controllers, cabinets and database conversion systems ($684,554) from Traffic Control Corporation as part of a WisDOT traffic signal controller upgrade project; project cost-sharing with WisDOT was described as 90/10 and staff said the overall project cost is approximately $1.125 million with the city’s outlay noted in the packet.

8) Equipment purchases (Bobcat Toolcat and attachments) — Committee approved purchases from cooperative contracts: one Bobcat Toolcat (Sourcewell contract) for $76,769.09, two Erskine snow blowers ($7,954 each), and two Erskine V-plows ($3,000 each) for a net total of $98,677.09 including delivery, setup, warranty and operator training.

9) Parking rate resolution for 2025 NFL Draft — Committee adopted a temporary ramp-rate increase (see separate article).

10) Award: West Side Salt Storage Shed concrete repairs — Committee reported the low responsive bidder as Restoration Systems; the packet line-item listed $78,009.40 but the staff comment referenced a low bid of $78,940. Committee approved the award and staff recommended the low bidder be selected; staff noted experience with the contractor.

11) Report: award of ramp PT repairs to Saigon (approx. $238,998) — Committee received the report of award; funds are in the parking division capital program.

12) Licenses and routine reports (sidewalk builders etc.) — Committee received and placed on file multiple license reports.

13) Award: Water contract asphalt paving 2025 to MCC Inc. — Committee approved award to MCC Inc. in the amount reported in packet: $745,179.

14) Award: Pavement repair 2025 to Martel Construction — Committee approved award to Martel Construction for $1,871,967.50 for pavement repair work (primarily concrete work); staff noted over 90% of this contract is invoiced to third parties that open excavation permits.

Why it matters: the approvals advance capital repair and maintenance projects, implement equipment upgrades tied to a WisDOT grant, and establish easements and agreements that allow utility, developer and public-works work to proceed. Several approvals depend on later contract execution or council action (where noted).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Improvement & Services Committee 4-9-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved multiple routine and project-specific items, including bridge maintenance coordination with WisDOT, utility easement for fiber, developer and pavement contracts, vehicle and equipment purchases, camera/controller purchases for signal upgrades, and awards for concrete and ramp repairs.","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},6079722,"Green Bay to raise ramp rates for 2025 NFL Draft, adjusts DPW operations for event week",1349,1452000,2801000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6&start=1452&end=2801","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6/thumbnail_1452000.jpg","/articles/6079722/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Green-Bay-to-raise-ramp-rates-for-2025-NFL-Draft-adjusts-DPW-operations-for-event-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079722-0afbfab86ab92ad55fc2b1b4a3b99948/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152467&Signature=oCKrR3snbhS4P~jfDZ~P1~OJrvt-xTBgR1s9wsnBUwiX~DTKkUsTo5otAmio3vBTXLPf1K61Fhd4qwX7q~UETT8d0qtEJtIdt-9AN7tbst34o9PDc-Qhvvzbj-Y6HqChfFcC7oQUHyPFWsFUPHrEUeNMYiuryExVYUFNkAS~56dV9UDt0oga-S2s7Y5eXU2SaofURWqZ-lGkhVIweJR75G2lSOiBrxk8KpRbZ0nV0z7Llvcah28DECzp2fsOMBG2VZ9jWZJP~CTEbDvYyAhOWJK3~-0DclpQizrD6tgbIo01plGuD1zQ8jDkEWHbkezj7W8Mv9yRKdNMOICIvBH8iA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Improvement and Service Committee approved a resolution to increase hourly parking ramp rates for the 2025 NFL Draft and received an operations briefing on how the Department of Public Works will staff and manage downtown and stadium-district services during draft week.

Staff recommended increasing hourly ramp rates from $1 per hour (up to $12 per day maximum) to $2 per hour with a $24 per day maximum for the duration of the draft. Staff said the change is short-term (three days) and intended to recover additional costs for enforcement, security and monitoring of ramps; monthly prox‑card monthly parkers are not affected. The committee approved the rate increase by resolution.

DPW staff gave a detailed report on operational preparations for the draft. Highlights:
- Staffing and cleaning: Operations will run about 40% of staff on regular business hours and flex 60% for overnight cleanup. The city plans night-time litter pickup and expanded street sweeping in high‑use areas (Stadium District and downtown) to reduce grit entering storm sewers.
- Parking controls: The city will not grant new on-street parking exemptions for the draft; previously granted standing allowances will be honored. Staff urged that on-street parking limitations facilitate street-sweeping and cleanup.
- Event logistics: Staff and regional partners (Village of Ashwaubenon, Brown County, WisDOT, State Patrol) have coordinated traffic-management plans, and staff are addressing issues such as charter-bus staging. City employees will assist in certain event operations, and organizers will provide trash receptacles and portable toilets at event entry points.

Committee members asked that signage clearly communicate temporary ramp rates. Staff said temporary signage is in place or will be confirmed before the event.

Why it matters: The NFL Draft is expected to create concentrated demand downtown. The rate increase is intended to recover direct costs of extra staffing and services and to encourage parking turnover during a short, high-demand event.","The committee approved a temporary increase in ramp hourly rates for the 2025 NFL Draft and heard a detailed operations report on staffing, parking controls, street sweeping, and sanitation during draft week.",{"_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},6079727,"Committee approves pilot to replace full sanitary laterals during street reconstruction in known I&I areas",181,823000,1004000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6&start=823&end=1004","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6/thumbnail_823000.jpg","/articles/6079727/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-pilot-to-replace-full-sanitary-laterals-during-street-reconstruction-in-known-II-areas","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079727-e8e4cae9677487925ad20fa631ead6c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152467&Signature=NqVEfZ-lc6CVeWEyVRs3xlaERG4xkP6MZX9IibEMOQsLraeJnHw~M2nyFyAyQgtkJ4CWFkZRpfmZf22IJLmfLECPcaqIttXp17-NRSd5UvvCOtRKuWpAql12jU7aFA8iUlD6to503RCrL2wbnpR~uxXUaD~9xxggn-vH2aZAxCpExCcXQjrvdXEihQKUEUOHFiG4Z9xGMm3GJL~cNvr3Q91HLg09S1UojemVMtG-ggB84zAWoxNn00BVmVI8O9fc3rRYvAcNmyjZePTUeMC7hzGbgyWlF-9nkHfl3rRxaKymHCvGpuFFa965dCoVrcHiXMyMoNvNWJd0sYweHyXG7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Green Bay Improvement and Service Committee voted to approve a pilot program proposed by the Department of Public Works to replace full residential sanitary sewer laterals (from the main to the home) during street reconstruction projects in areas identified with infiltration and inflow (I&I) problems.

Public Works staff explained that the city’s longstanding practice is to replace laterals from the main to the property line or terrace during reconstruction and leave the private portion—usually from the right-of-way to the home—under property-owner responsibility. Staff said aging laterals allow groundwater and stormwater (I&I) into the sanitary system, increasing treatment costs and creating capacity problems at the wastewater plant.

The pilot would allow the city, on reconstruct projects in areas already known to have I&I problems, to offer to replace the private portion of the lateral to the structure rather than stopping at the right-of-way. Staff said the program is not a citywide standard and is being proposed only for targeted areas to reduce I&I and the volume of clean water routed to the wastewater plant.

Committee members asked for clarification about the geographic focus; staff identified Colvin Park as an example area under consideration. The committee passed the proposal on a motion by Alder Gallego, second by Alder Eck.

Why it matters: replacing private laterals can reduce clean water that must be treated as sanitary sewage, lowering treatment costs and reducing plant load. The pilot shifts upfront cost considerations: staff emphasized the city will limit the program to targeted reconstruction projects and is not yet adopting a citywide policy or funding commitment.

Next steps: staff will implement the pilot on selected reconstruction projects, send notice letters to affected property owners as described in the packet, and report back on uptake and I&I results.","Department of Public Works will offer full sanitary sewer lateral replacement to property lines during street reconstruction in areas with known infiltration and inflow issues; program is a pilot limited to selected areas and will not be citywide initially.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6079731,"Committee approves streetlight study request for Wisconsin Avenue after resident testimony",283,58000,341000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6&start=58&end=341","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2954643-5290bb89a283056e0b71aecffc4598d6/thumbnail_58000.jpg","/articles/6079731/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-streetlight-study-request-for-Wisconsin-Avenue-after-resident-testimony","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079731-9006cab6839dcb5be3c1fa547f17c1e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152467&Signature=hqko33meu5QxIO33FGEr07fof4ryfrVz6B-JC2tSPKcw637QlX9aG-g06hjhGi5ijly7QiENowSrBPyctpcDfbOeFBOvzMwoPgrQhcoUye7~dYTKi1Xf-deziSVESuPF7qDAiBi6kkORJACzmQJX6yVN2qd~YHjUG0YFadBZLpquYd-kR6YvKvtZIlO6cgq1S~-ithO9uBEATBFhMj09rg3JquOVUCr8nasY3BLxau9bSe1avNmSaUYDkd7VIqhWX87eQ14AoXKL-tJYnQRoDjJIEzqxtMdRPD-APqsYb4mYN~Wl4ah0lVCLarYyWu6LW8IWhGSAZN1vlnUXuFTwhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Green Bay Improvement and Service Committee on an unspecified April meeting date voted to recommend to the Common Council a request from Alder Presley to conduct a streetlight study and approve installation of a streetlight on Wisconsin Avenue.

Public Works staff told the committee the request does not meet the city’s standard streetlight spacing policy and that staff \"cannot actively support this\" because it would be inconsistent with citywide spacing. Staff said the spacing standard is roughly 300 feet (one speaker said 250 feet), and the proposed pole location would be about 65 feet from the existing light at the East Shore Drive intersection.

A resident who identified themself as living near the proposed location told the committee they have lived on Wisconsin Avenue for 25 years and said the section is “very dark” at night. The resident described traffic turning into the neighborhood to reach the yard-waste drop-off, including large trucks with trailers, and said limited visibility leads drivers to cut across residential yards to turn around. The resident told the committee that two of three affected households contacted were in favor of the light.

Committee members heard staff advice that the committee has the authority to make exceptions to spacing policy. After public comment the committee opened and closed the floor to public remarks and voted to approve the request for study and to forward the item to the Common Council for final decision.

The committee record shows a motion to approve by Alder Daley and subsequent second; the committee carried the motion and will transmit the recommendation to the council for final action.

Why it matters: residents said the location’s darkness contributes to safety and access problems at night; staff urged consistency with spacing policy but noted committee discretion for exceptions. The Common Council will make the final determination on placement and any funding or installation steps.","The Improvement and Service Committee voted to recommend adding a streetlight on Wisconsin Avenue to the Common Council, following resident testimony that the area is dark at night; staff noted the request departs from standard spacing policy.","actionData","errors"]
