Max Geegan, deputy city administrator and finance officer, presented the CIP and told the board the plan totals just under $9 million, with project lists organized by department and funding source. He said $2 million in recurring capital cash is available to fund requests, $345,000 in cash on hand would be used, and that staff recommends starting an annual transportation debt issuance to boost surface-treatment and sidewalk work. Council direction increased the proposed transportation borrowing from an original $3 million to $4 million to better address roadway deterioration and sidewalks.
Geegan said the annual transportation debt issuance would be amortized over 10 years and is treated as debt service that is exempt for levy limit computations; the plan assumes a 10-year issuance to keep tax impacts level. He told the board that boosting transportation funding would allow the city to expand surface treatments, mill-and-overlay work, some reconstruction, and sidewalk projects identified in recent planning efforts.
Engineering staff described several priority projects in the CIP: a County Line Road culvert replacement to address failing box culverts in the southwest part of the city and an upcoming emergency repair to a failing culvert on Oakwood; Montana Avenue storm sewer reconstruction to replace failing steel culvert pipe; and a stormwater pond maintenance program covering city-owned ponds and inspection of private ponds required under the department’s DNR permit. Shepherd Avenue work has stalled after flooding, a failed water sample and a restrainer cap failure; staff said they will reclorinate and retest the segment overnight.
Board members asked questions about levy limits, debt service, proximity of culvert work to the railroad crossing, and the proposed $250,000 sidewalk and trail improvements program. Staff said the sidewalk allocation seeks to address trip hazards and missing connectivity segments, including areas identified in open-space planning, and that the program will include both minor hazard shaving and larger replacement segments.
The board moved and approved a recommendation that the Common Council include the CIP items in the 2026 budget. The motion passed by roll call at the Sept. 16 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works & Capital Assets - September 16th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board recommended the $9 million 2026 Capital Improvement Plan to the Common Council, endorsing a $4 million annual transportation debt issuance for roads and sidewalks and discussing stormwater, culvert, and sidewalk priorities.","taxTitle","Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",66971,"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},5982574,"Board approves $34,920 purchase of 16 filter-rate controllers",50,565000,615000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793810-e32070ca86b6ce3ed3e734f3262e4672&start=565&end=615","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793810-e32070ca86b6ce3ed3e734f3262e4672/thumbnail_565000.jpg","/articles/5982574/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Board-approves-34920-purchase-of-16-filter-rate-controllers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982574-ae6b44403ff7596b8ef7b47178a1986e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102161&Signature=eMzSyZUQUpEwYJsfY-gZLdCpsETcWKI~YSxgqy2HET0IZNkYrPeyHUNCuKT-ksinyp9Ip1GoZKM03835xSaEy4tL8eSy-QtL8XC7grfQhOtjj5b9nJiT-74LYH1ygQZqAcKJVQbGW3BUVMwJrWzFEYkcQLD9oRnXgEpCovLOXid6PJFXy1JZ~xWTX1LUYooRchPkBJLfM-hZSt-Mz3S-cGMUXAlK8xrvnsICRhv2fgtrSuKmXNUbk5cINbeUj3gWZqBECwukv-r1EiTi89Tspl1hZDlQsTaLKDq~ycbYAAo~mN5lq6s~DUNyJ25J90Ggvu0XLpZGMRpsg1Yf~xXuqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works and Capital Assets approved an agreement with J and W Instruments Inc. to purchase 16 filter-rate controllers for $34,920 to replace worn rate-control devices at the water treatment plant.
Staff said existing controllers had deteriorated and some controls were failing; six units had already been replaced and the purchase would complete the replacement of the remaining units. The controllers monitor and control filter backwash timing and turbidity, functions staff said are important for optimizing water treatment and saving water.
A motion to enter the agreement passed by roll call on Sept. 16. Staff reported satisfaction with the product selected and noted the purchase will allow operators to better tune backwash cycles and reduce unnecessary clean-water waste during filter maintenance.","The board approved an agreement to buy 16 filter-rate controllers from J and W Instruments Inc. to replace worn components that control filter backwash timing at the treatment plant.",{"_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},5982577,"Board approves final payment for Garden Place force main relay project",43,499000,542000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793810-e32070ca86b6ce3ed3e734f3262e4672&start=499&end=542","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793810-e32070ca86b6ce3ed3e734f3262e4672/thumbnail_499000.jpg","/articles/5982577/Oak-Creek/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Board-approves-final-payment-for-Garden-Place-force-main-relay-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982577-1044327b20078eea4df0071f48d5dc71/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102161&Signature=YuRYEFMMeHh8bTOIUIgb9mFjRIfn-UwUW~qFo4T4SvnH-HUhAqhZFqyOFBX2sE8j5h4nZXpq6Rfo5z3eOJg9c-s~1jTgtAwld2Met0q8abYaL9v0LIe3v3088LEB0rSygXeMJgWPS4PRkjjeMxOJH7Z7r9~F8YH0TILpWJQ5Vs-QDmiYNtsVofVc2QhX0hznQaTwRkq3hbu3EdRcxnBgE6ELHwMKCB2rNADhHQpEkZJfc5Ws4izKwV8qI7kXP9WfB69JebsfgfP57gmlIh8ihNkmKl~hnG2LzT6bpkGImhtmun5d-6NxKM31mVvZ5QuZjWuQOBpKjtZvltzU20ERew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works and Capital Assets approved final payment to the contractor for the Garden Place force main relay project after staff reported the project was completed on budget.

The project, designed by Rinca Architects, would create a roughly 10-by-10 office by removing a single cubicle to provide a private space for confidential meetings and interviews. The board voted to approve the award during its Sept. 16 meeting and directed staff to proceed using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds the Health Department has available.
Matt Sullivan, assistant city administrator and city engineer, told the board the Health Department currently handles private meetings at a cubicle and lacks appropriate privacy. “Right now they’re currently working on the floor in a cubicle, which really doesn’t provide that space for…confidential and privacy,” Sullivan said, explaining the project scope and design. He said the bid — about $100 per square foot — was within current market ranges for a small office renovation given recent price increases in construction since 2020.
Sullivan said the project was put out to bid and only one contractor responded. He and Rinca discussed the submitted price and determined it aligned with market expectations for a small-to-medium renovation that includes wall construction and associated mechanical adjustments. The project will be paid from ARPA funds available to the Health Department; Sullivan said the grant has sufficient remaining funds for this work.
Board members had no substantive objections at the time of the vote. The board approved the motion by roll call; the minutes show multiple members voting \"aye.\" The contract award authorizes staff to begin contract execution and scheduling with the selected contractor.
The work is limited to the interior build-out described at the meeting and does not expand the Health Department’s footprint. The timeline for construction and an expected completion date were not specified at the meeting.","The Board of Public Works and Capital Assets voted to award a contract for a small private office in the Health Department, funded with ARPA grant dollars; only one bid was received.","actionData","errors"]
