Public Works Director Dan (last name not specified) told the council the city received bids on April 3 and that the project will be divided into three funding accounts: a sanitary sewer portion that covers manhole adjustments (approximately $2,400); a street maintenance portion (about $76,379) where most asphalt work will occur; and a full-depth mill-and-overlay for South Winnetka from Bridge Road to Bartels (about $82,502). The city is receiving $32,320 in Local Road Improvement Grant funding for the Winnetka segment, the director said.

The bid tab with street lists (including Lamboli, Owen Road at Winnetka Road in Midmore, Owen Road at Pheasant Hill, and Winnetka Road from Bridge Road to Bartels) was included in the council packet. The public works director said the finance committee met earlier and recommended the council approve the project; the transcript shows this was presented as a first reading and no final council vote on contract award was recorded at the meeting.

Councilors asked why only the Winnetka segment received the local road grant funds; the director said the city applied during a prior funding cycle and the Winnetka segment was the highest‑priority road in that application.

If the council moves forward, staff indicated the recommended low bid and related contract award will be brought back for formal action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - May 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Monona Common Council received a first reading Monday on the 2025 street resurfacing project, which splits work among sanitary adjustments, general street maintenance and a full-depth mill-and-overlay on South Winnetka Road.","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},6250391,"Council reviews Monona Pines 48-unit development; TIF assistance discussed, no vote taken",3699,399000,4098000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3202897-d3f274bed5b31c744e784b20a66945a8&start=399&end=4098","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3202897-d3f274bed5b31c744e784b20a66945a8/thumbnail_399000.jpg","/articles/6250391/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Council-reviews-Monona-Pines-48-unit-development-TIF-assistance-discussed-no-vote-taken","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250391-159383f8c3a21186155c133143226669/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176040&Signature=Xt79vF378fD1ci9dPp1kv5U05xcCfXuUJXTcXsIsE2UQjhykE0lGsip-X9AWRgxm5NVitr6nSjx9IxQCGRFH4ZQVmXGN8Dmhh3FvYA8yoC6-gSUbndHIkLxtoWKTipG-8MPfWsvh1-TXt5BwHacdOhejUA8JbLnKZrbmm0MmzBJ4Lj0ezuSFBNKiRz5yi2xfBiOazp5P1EOSL0YPVJX-YyNKBtchD3mn3zekGhpqEenN68e~H~Uwr1t7NTyIjm4I7BD4-wljJJZtb0thGbwguL-vK6xMcVzNNWY6EqdwX~KbYbI6BQFo1ty6jFZxr9eLbhXrbRIe0naXQdPGiyFKOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monona Common Council heard a developer presentation Monday about Monona Pines, a 48-unit market-rate apartment project proposed for the 5103–5105 Monona Drive parcel that developers say relies on tax-increment financing to proceed.

City staff opened the discussion by describing the proposal as “48 market rate units of residential units with [a] ground floor fitness center” that received planning approvals last fall. Randy Christiansen, the developer’s representative, told the council the project “is a TIF assisted project, which … it doesn't work without the TIF assistance.”

The project, presented by the development team including architect Mark Ott and managing member Robert Proctor, calls for a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, roughly 63 parking stalls (mostly enclosed or underground), and multiple green roofs — the team said approximately 90% of the main roof will be a green/blue roof system to meet stormwater requirements. The development plans also include a fourth-floor occupiable roof terrace and a first-floor fitness room with storefront windows facing Monona Drive.

Councilors and developers discussed whether the front-level fitness space could be operated commercially as well as serve residents; the development team said the space could be used for resident amenity classes and by an identified instructor, but that more typical commercial uses (coffee shop, restaurant) would be difficult given limited parking in the immediate area. City staff and plan commission notes referenced earlier rezoning and consistency with redevelopment-area plans approved by the council in late 2024.

At the meeting the council suspended rules to move the development agreement discussion into closed session under Wisconsin Statute § 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate negotiating the purchasing of public property and other specified business; the council then entered closed session. After returning to open session the mayor noted that consideration of resolution 25-5-2806, the development agreement between the City of Monona, Monona Community Development Authority and Monona Pines 2 LLC, had its first reading and that “there's no action taken on that tonight.”

Councilors asked about a reported $1.2 million TIF assistance figure; the transcript shows one councilor raising the amount when discussing what information is relevant to their decision. The record shows no final action on the development agreement at this meeting.

If and when the council takes formal action, the development agreement and any TIF commitment would return for a subsequent reading and vote.","The Monona Common Council heard a developer presentation Monday about Monona Pines, a 48‑unit market‑rate apartment project proposed for 5103–5105 Monona Drive that developers say requires tax‑increment financing to proceed.",{"_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},6250370,"Council appoints Rebecca Holmquist as citizen co‑chair of Landmarks Commission",42,4872000,4914000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3202897-d3f274bed5b31c744e784b20a66945a8&start=4872&end=4914","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3202897-d3f274bed5b31c744e784b20a66945a8/thumbnail_4872000.jpg","/articles/6250370/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Council-appoints-Rebecca-Holmquist-as-citizen-cochair-of-Landmarks-Commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6250370-9efb0982b7e4f12febe68b9d5e52b299/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176040&Signature=Ykwyrox7zHuLBQRvXu4As28Xs5fv7C0X7ZUQm~grfpSIjW1x0NeCl0htQPIztC4euWb5RHrust29VL0voLPwGk-nPOM8QwUGpZz2Cx-BRIk4dBQAc9spIAtOVbKy~g~m1nhQLbBi1IRRX9Jv5qPLIng2SXzjAHXwR4ha9VaacOdsBRiB0rg-~TDbKVq8HxmeoTTge7jwDPJKToQM3lThngSxgHt2L1L02nT3InmGhwzOJEL8N0vGU9ATRZPbzUgHoErhWWou5Vmo7JGk2R0tYtwawseBQIPwc03-RwCz8AADvbZRECaqwJTACiNWW26TUd5wGOaEedrYxA86mfeprw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monona Common Council approved the mayor’s appointment of Rebecca Holmquist as citizen co‑chair of the Landmarks Commission Monday.
