Director Plowman and staff introduced the project before the committee entered a closed session under Wisconsin Statute section 19.85(1)(e) for deliberating or negotiating the purchase of public properties, investing public funds, or conducting specified public business when competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. Developers provided an overview prior to closed session and returned for the public vote. City documents in the packet show the site had been rezoned from retail business to a community design district and had been recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission in October 2024. The project is within an existing tax-increment (TIF) district and redevelopment area.

Randy Christiansen of Walter Wayne Development (the development team lead) told the committee the development team has worked with staff and the CDA since late 2022 and that “this project doesn’t work if we don’t have the TIF assistance.” He introduced Mark Ott of JLA Architects and Robert Proctor, the managing member of Monona Pines 2 LLC, who said the owners currently intend to hold the project but noted there are several members and investors involved. Proctor identified a management company, Dacis, and mentioned investor Bruce Bosman in the context of project management and investment.

Architect Mark Ott described the design details presented in the packet: a four-story building with two levels of parking (including a lower level with 34 spaces), a rooftop club room with outdoor occupiable roof area overlooking the golf course, private balconies, terraces with green roofs, a dog run, and a fitness room engaging the street. Ott explained the stormwater approach uses “blue-green” tray systems under planted roof areas to retain and slowly release water. Staff noted the project includes underground parking that meets parking requirements and community-room amenities.

The committee moved and seconded approval of Resolution 25-5-2806; the motion carried by roll call. The development agreement authorizes TIF and city involvement as outlined in the packet and allows the CDA and staff to finalize negotiated terms and proceed toward construction. Developers told the committee they expected to begin early site work within a week or two and that some site fencing is already in place.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Finance & Personnel Committee - May 5, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Finance and Personnel Committee approved a development agreement with Monona Pines 2 LLC for a 48-unit market-rate apartment on Monona Drive and authorized staff and the CDA to finalize terms including TIF assistance.","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},6247033,"Finance committee recommends Payne & Dolan low bid for February resurfacing project",67,479000,546000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3213474-cfd6f7917f067250ac5d764034eceb6a&start=479&end=546","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3213474-cfd6f7917f067250ac5d764034eceb6a/thumbnail_479000.jpg","/articles/6247033/Monona/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Finance-committee-recommends-Payne-Dolan-low-bid-for-February-resurfacing-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247033-18c98f3de28ba960306ec4ca93f41569/orig.mp4?Expires=1771190060&Signature=KWz0j0ObiJzPJllUZeMqrfV4Vq5yG3H2rf9BdC6EN8J4c2A8QctgGWiiBxm~FaIhnpMYtjQa7l0nkFQFi3KK14a7R3mJZZKyYRE2oSgbl~Z5MNSdE~UsvrdR5PI6aV8BwMeQ4yug5ypEyC6dJSoQnZ5FThSDhzg1nvnrp4WXls1lkrgg90PkKwfe9s~j8tthGoMFqRrhqKvhVt1TZ355wtZUkLVdNfN8PCOrfNj5xc4Z50RhiQfqpNWqaLOkIDZOIBeLVgwQU9PG9RExTECeB-pizav20LulDLi2OwPPq75rfMcTeMBMECSXtlh~aHDEJGs65LneyNW8daANX3m1Mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Monona Finance and Personnel Committee on May 2025 recommended awarding the February resurfacing contract (Resolution 25-5-2803) to Payne & Dolan, the low bidder at $161,281.90.

Public Works staff member Dan presented the packet information and bid tabulation, saying the bids were received April 3 and that the low bid from Payne & Dolan was $161,281.90. Dan outlined the proposed budget allocations: $2,400 charged to sanitary sewer work to raise manholes to the new surface; $76,379 from the street maintenance capital account; and $82,502.90 dedicated to the South Winnequil portion, which Dan said will be a full-depth replacement with base repair. He also reported the city received LRIP grant funding of $32,320 to assist with the Winnequil Road pavement replacement.

Dan told the committee the packet includes maps of mill-and-overlay locations and the fiscal note showing where budget allocations come from. He also stated the item appears before the City Council for first reading and will go to the Public Works Committee on Wednesday for further review. After questions, a committee member moved and seconded a recommendation; the motion carried by voice vote and will be forwarded to council as a recommended award.","The Finance and Personnel Committee recommended awarding the February resurfacing contract to Payne & Dolan, low bidder at $161,281.90.

City staff member Doug presented both applications to the committee, saying the Groupi solar project’s total cost is “just over 28 and a half thousand dollars” and that the applicants are seeking 50% of that amount. Doug also noted the project is eligible for tax credits “approximately 1/3 of project costs” and that the application is being presented based on pre-tax-credit amounts. For the Donaldson project, Doug said the total project cost is $111,719 and the request is “right on $50,000,” and that the scope includes a new bedroom, bathroom, office, workout space and related mechanical work.

Doug told the committee both applications meet Renew Monona program criteria and are within the program’s 2025 funding availability. He further noted the committee is reviewing applications using 2024 property assessment numbers because 2024 assessments are still subject to board of review adjustments. He also said projects at or below $50,000 do not require Community Development Authority (CDA) review and are handled at the finance level.

Alder DePula asked whether prior awards had factored tax credits into award calculations; Doug replied that tax credits have been similar in recent cases (about one-third of costs) and that, in a recent earlier award, the loan was presented as 50% of the full pre-tax-credit amount. The committee then moved, seconded and approved both loan requests by voice vote; the record shows the motions carried.

Doug told the committee staff expects proposed program revisions to come back for review soon, but that the current applications were evaluated under the existing program framework. The applicants were present for the meeting.

The committee’s approvals allow staff to proceed with processing the loan documents under the Renew Monona loan program and the applicants’ financing arrangements. No specific disbursement dates were stated during the meeting.","The Finance and Personnel Committee approved two Renew Monona loan requests: a 50% loan for a rooftop solar installation at 507 Frostwoods Road and a $50,000 loan for a basement remodel at 4806 Reagan Terrace.

Finance staff (Mark) said permit revenues are behind because some large permits have not yet been pulled (Topgolf and On the Pines expected to submit soon). Expenditures were described as generally on target. On the ambulance fund, Mark said revenues are tracking better than last year and that April numbers show about 41% (revenue tracking relative to budget), an improvement from last year’s position. On tourism funding, the packet showed about $77,000 available at the time the report was prepared; Mark said a recent payment of roughly $20,000 reduced the available balance to about $57,000. He explained the tourism commission typically spends room-tax receipts collected in one year in the following fiscal year and that the commission may need to adjust allocations for 2026 to preserve a conservative balance.

Mark reviewed the general fund invoices before the committee, noting standard items such as a Lakeside International plow truck chassis (partially received due to supply-chain backlog), Amazon and Lake Ridge Bank card charges, and professional legal bills charged to TIF accounts for redevelopment matters. The committee moved, seconded and accepted the quarterly financial report and the general fund invoices by voice vote.

Mark said staff will continue to monitor revenues and proposed that the tourism commission and staff review allocations and balances ahead of the 2026 budget cycle.","Finance presented first-quarter (March) reports showing revenues and expenditures generally on target, permitting revenues lagging until spring, an improving ambulance fund, and tourism funds reduced to about $57,000 after recent payments.
