Ladies first.
[clears throat]
[0:38]
» Ellen Walber, 606 Windsor Terrace. Um, I
just wanted to make a comment on the um
[0:44]
resolutions regarding data centers. Um,
first of all, I think it's definitely
[0:49]
the right thing to do to be putting
these um regulations in place prior to
[0:56]
um anything coming forward in the
future. Uh, but as I looked at the um
[1:02]
language, I thought one um thing that
could be potentially changed under it's
[1:10]
1.0, I know it's on page seven. Um,
point C, all buildings shall be located
[1:16]
a minimum of 250 ft from residentially
zoned property. 250 ft to me is awfully
[1:24]
small for putting up a big data center
next to somebody's house. So, I would
[1:28]
like to see you consider having that be
uh a longer distance. And then um if you
[1:37]
should start considering a a proposal
from a data data center that there be a
[1:42]
lot of transparency right from the
get-go so that citizens do have the
[1:46]
opportunity to voice their opinion
because we've certainly seen what's been
[1:50]
happening in a lot of the other
communities um where this has been
[1:54]
happening. That's all I wanted to say.
Thank you.
[1:58]
Anyone
else?
[2:07]
» Good evening. Good evening everybody.
I'm Jason Marin and 4750 Pop Road in
[2:11]
Jefferson, Wisconsin. Uh I'm up here
today and I was thankfully here earlier
[2:16]
to hear some of the ordinance proposal
for the street closure. I there's a
[2:20]
couple of points that were in there that
I thought were um at least good for
[2:24]
conversation and thankfully uh Alderman
Overberger was able to address two of
[2:28]
them. So the back side of this document
we can just ignore uh the front side of
[2:32]
it when I looked through the definition
of the applicants and the way the
[2:36]
ordinance was at least drafted into the
initial part of it. It made it sound
[2:40]
like the person that was signing that
document would hold a lot of the
[2:43]
liability for the for the event itself.
And I think that dropped off enough
[2:48]
documents in the last couple of years
here. I look at that and think if I were
[2:52]
to have to sign my name on a document
and then I personally be held liable for
[2:55]
any potential whatever that could happen
in an event. I don't carry that kind of
[2:59]
liability insurance. I know the
organizations do for the events and so
[3:02]
that's what I kind of put on the front
side of this document. I do apologize. I
[3:06]
don't have enough for everybody that's
up here. There's definitely enough for
[3:08]
each of the other persons. So just the
one side like I said the back side
[3:13]
already had those ideas kind of out
earlier but if there's a chance that
[3:17]
that language could be traum somewhat
changed not that it has removed the
[3:22]
liability but just make sure that
liability falls squarely on the um on
[3:27]
the organization that's holding it and I
know we talked about the liability
[3:29]
insurance as well previously and
presumably each of the organizations
[3:33]
have that liability insurance and so I
just hope that that would get thrown in
[3:37]
consideration if that ordinance were to
move forward.
[3:40]
So that's it.
>> Thank you. Thank you, Jason.
[3:46]
[clears throat]
Anyone else?
[3:52]
» Is there anyone else?
>> Okay.
[3:58]
» Hello everybody. Um Julia Chi,
[clears throat and cough]
[4:00]
» excuse me. Is that is that light on
there? Can you please press the button?
[4:07]
» There you go. couldn't you? Um Julia
Shady, 214 East Greenwood Street in
[4:13]
Jefferson. And um I just wanted to
um the ordinance for the street closure.
[4:21]
Just wanted to bring up a couple a
couple thoughts. I think most of them
[4:25]
were already um addressed, but the
definition of the city property also
[4:31]
includes parks and streets, not just the
um the main streets, which I could see
[4:37]
them posing a problem for the Kikan
picnic, the car shows that we do down
[4:42]
there, the meat pipes event that's host
hosted at Rotary Park. Um I could see
[4:48]
because we closed that road down right
back here that that would be applied as
[4:52]
well. So if that's not part of it, the
language needs to get changed on that
[4:56]
too.
That make sense?
[5:03]
Oh, you guys can't answer me. So
hopefully that makes sense. But the
[5:05]
language should be clearly in there that
when the Rotary Park is closing that
[5:10]
street right in front of Rotary Park
because that's where they put the
[5:13]
vendors and the car shows and um you
know so music in the park get the way
[5:18]
it's written now music in the um park
could get um affected people could be
[5:23]
affected and those other events that we
don't want to have penalized for it. So
[5:28]
I just wanted to make sure the verbiage
got was put in there to protect those
[5:31]
events as well.
>> Thank you.
[5:36]
Anyone else?
[5:40]
Is there anyone else that would like to
address the council?
[5:45]
Um, hearing no. And I have uh something
I'd like to share. But first, I'm
[5:49]
because of uh recent uh questions about
the intersection of South Main Street
[5:55]
and Highway N. I'm going to ask Director
of Public Works Todd Clark to address
[6:00]
that and give an update on it so that we
can get um accurate information.
[6:06]
» Thanks, Mayor. Uh so, for those of you
that don't don't know, the reason those
[6:10]
lights are out is uh a subcontractor
that was directionally boring bored
[6:14]
through some of one of the conduits for
the cable there. Uh caused major
[6:19]
electrical damage in the control box. Um
we're lucky we got it going the way it
[6:24]
is with a four-way stop. uh was
submitted to insurance and just last
[6:29]
week we got approval from the insurance
to move ahead to order the new
[6:34]
equipment. Uh the equipment will be new
and updated equipment.
[6:39]
Uh it will be the camera system. So now
we will be able to move that stop bar
[6:43]
back further. It will be able to
identify cars, motorcycles, whatever
[6:48]
without having to pull so far forward.
So kind of a I guess happy accident that
[6:53]
uh this is going to be uh improve that
intersection uh quite a bit and and
[6:59]
update the equipment at the same time.
[7:04]
» When you talk about church, you're
talking about our insurance policy,
[7:07]
right?
>> Correct. That we made a claim against
[7:10]
the
[7:17]
» Okay. And um at such point when the the
lights are fixed and brought back to
[7:23]
full working order again, uh the city
would have the option of that at that
[7:28]
time. If they wanted to just make a
flash red, they could do that. Or if
[7:33]
they wanted them to go through the full
cycle like they have for many years cuz
[7:38]
some people have expressed a preference
for keeping it the way it is. There's
[7:42]
probably some good reasons for for doing
that. There's probably some good reasons
[7:46]
for uh maintaining a fully controlled
intersection, especially if it's
[7:50]
upgraded with uh modern technology.
>> Correct. Because there's pros and cons.
[7:57]
People feel they like the four-way stop
better. Uh there's also concerns when
[8:03]
traffic is heavier volumes. It creates
no breaks in the traffic for say
[8:07]
Plymouth Street. Uh trying to turn turn
left out of there becomes impossible in
[8:12]
the afternoon. So,
there's pros and cons, but uh you know,
[8:16]
Nestle is going to be having their drop
lot uh back where the Wisconsin Drain
[8:21]
Tile Company used to be. So, there's
going to be a lot more truck traffic,
[8:24]
semi traffic coming off of Plymouth. Um,
so right now, uh, my feeling is I don't
[8:31]
know if we can keep the four-way stop,
but like I said, it's going to be a much
[8:35]
improved traffic system that's going to
be at that intersection and make make it
[8:40]
a a better intersection for being able
to control it. We can obviously have a
[8:45]
little more flexibility on the timing
and everything with new equipment as
[8:48]
well.
>> Thank you for that information, Todd. I
[8:53]
have one other communication I'd like to
share uh with the council and the public
[8:57]
here tonight. Hello, Mayor Mayor. My
name is
[9:02]
My name is Phil Ellis, outreach
coordinator for Lifeline Pilots.
[9:06]
Recognizing the desire of city mayors
and managers to serve their community. I
[9:11]
wanted to tell you about our nocost air
travel. This service is for
[9:15]
non-emergency patients who require care
at specialty hospitals like the Mayo
[9:20]
Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson,
University of Michigan Medical Center,
[9:27]
Cincinnati Children's Hospital, etc. We
cover 10 states in the Great
[9:32]
Lakes/Midwest
area and partner with similar
[9:35]
organizations across the US, enabling us
to fly from anywhere in Wisconsin to
[9:42]
destinations across the continental US
is in reach. We are a volunteer-based
[9:48]
organization. Pilots who cover all
travel costs for patients as a
[9:52]
humanitarian gesture. Our pilots will
pick up patients in their local
[9:57]
community, fly them to their medical
destination, and bring them home, all
[10:01]
free of charge. These volunteer pilots
build the mission of lifeline pilots
[10:06]
every day, helping those in need reach
their destination for special care and
[10:12]
eliminating the burden of commercial air
travel. I [clears throat] hope you can
[10:16]
share this service with your community
officials and residents when patients
[10:20]
face these lifethreatening situations
knowing that their air travel burden
[10:25]
will be eliminated thanks to the
coordination of local city officials.
[10:30]
Everyone wins. I would like to connect
with you by virtual meeting and a time
[10:34]
to discuss this. [clears throat]
So that's lifeline. If anyone has any
[10:39]
information, uh, you can come to city
hall and get specific [clears throat]
[10:44]
information if you know of someone
that's in this situation and needs
[10:48]
non-emergency
transportation
[10:51]
uh, to remote locations.
That's all we have for communications
[10:56]
[clears throat] tonight. We'll move on
to uh proposed ordinance number 1-26,
[11:02]
an ordinance to repeal or replace
section 240-8 of the municipal code of
[11:08]
Jefferson concerning the temporary
[clears throat]
[11:11]
closure of public rightways in the city.
Alderman trader, please.
[11:16]
» Mr. Mr. Mayor, whereas the city of
Jefferson has adopted the an ordinance,
[11:19]
namely 240-8
regulating the temporary closure of
[11:24]
public rights away within the city. And
whereas the city has recently
[11:28]
experienced an increase in applications
to close public rights away, telling the
[11:33]
city to clarify the procedure for
processing these applications. Due to
[11:38]
its length and in lie of reading the
entire ordinance, a copy is available
[11:43]
for inspection in city hall during
regular business hours. This is a first
[11:48]
reading.
>> Thank you. And there was a uhformational
[11:53]
discussion uh on this at the committee
the whole tonight. uh the comments that
[11:58]
were offered there [clears throat] will
be taken into consideration
[12:02]
uh by city attorney Rogers and staff uh
and we'll uh come back and bring this
[12:08]
back for a second reading at a future
meeting. Next ordinance-2-20
[12:15]
an ordinance to repeal and replace
sections of subsection 300 of the
[12:19]
municipal code of the city of Jefferson
regarding signs to please.
[12:24]
» Thank you honorable mayor. Whereas the
city [snorts] of Jefferson, Wisconsin,
[12:28]
the city has previously enacted signed
usage regulations as part of its zoning
[12:32]
code. And whereas the common council,
the city hereby finds that is in the
[12:36]
best interest of the city to clarify
certain portions of its sign usage
[12:41]
regulations. Due to its length in lie of
reading the complete text of this
[12:45]
ordinance, a complete copy is on file at
the city of the office clerk and is
[12:49]
available for public inspection.
>> Thank you. Tim, can you please offer
[12:55]
some uh additional comments
[clears throat]
[12:58]
with regard to this if you would just
kind of summarize the intent of this
[13:02]
because it was brought forward at the
request of local business and uh we
[13:07]
believe that it's appropriate to revisit
our [clears throat] our policy at this
[13:11]
point.
>> I can indeed do that. Um uh I would say
[13:16]
this matter comes to you uh on
recommendation of the plan commission.
[13:21]
they have been um [cough]
uh looking at this matter and uh the
[13:26]
mayor is correct. Uh there was actually
more than one. We've had a a couple of
[13:31]
these instances
which um this ordinance hopefully will
[13:36]
help the city address. Um
[clears throat]
[13:39]
this is a amendment to the city's zoning
ordinance.
[13:44]
uh [cough] the city's uh sign permit
regulations inside that zoning
[13:51]
ordinance. [clears throat]
So that does require a public hearing.
[13:55]
Uh that is anticipated to occur at uh
the second meeting of the commission in
[14:00]
January. That would be [clears throat]
uh the fourth Tuesday. I don't know what
[14:05]
date that is off hand, but
[clears throat] it's the fourth Tuesday
[14:08]
in January. Uh the change that uh is
being recommended that uh has been uh
[14:16]
addressed in uh this amended ordinance
uh deals with pylon signs. Uh pylon sign
[14:25]
is a sign that is on some kind of pole
elevated off the ground usually 8 10 12
[14:32]
ft. Uh those are no longer permitted in
the city. Um we have lots of them. So
[14:39]
they're like legal but nonconforming
signs. Uh in lie of that, the city
[14:45]
permits monument signs and you're
starting to see [clears throat] quite a
[14:49]
few of those. But we also have quite a
few of these legal nonconforming pylon
[14:54]
signs. And um in in several cases uh the
owners of those signs wanted to change
[15:04]
out uh the manual reader reader board
component of those signs changeable copy
[15:10]
with electronic reader boards and uh our
code would not allow for that because of
[15:16]
the uh non-conforming status. So
[clears throat] what this proposed
[15:21]
amendment does allow is that uh for
owners of legal but non-conforming signs
[15:30]
that want to make such a change,
changing out the reader board component
[15:36]
from manual to record. As long as
[clears throat] the size of the sign
[15:39]
face isn't changed, uh that would be
something that could be permitted. uh
[15:44]
the plan commission would be the one
typically reviewing that application and
[15:48]
granting that request if this amendment
is made.
[15:52]
» Okay.
>> Thank you, gentlemen. Really, this is an
[15:55]
updating of the ordinance to uh respond
to current [cough and clears throat]
[16:00]
technology
or that be
[16:03]
» video based signs.
>> Okay. And that will come back for a
[16:08]
second reading in a future meeting as
well. Ordinance number 3-26, an
[16:13]
ordinance amending the city's zoning
code in order to regulate construction
[16:18]
and operation of data centers. Paul
Wenberger, please.
[16:22]
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Members of the
common council, citizens of Jefferson,
[16:26]
whereas it has come to the attention of
the city's common council that data
[16:29]
centers have become frequently more
common in the state of Wisconsin.
[16:32]
[snorts] And whereas there is no mention
or reg or regulation of data centers in
[16:36]
the city's zoning code and whereas the
city's common council have come to the
[16:40]
conclusion that it is in the best
interest of the city that the city's
[16:43]
zoning code be amended so the city will
be prepared should there be a proposal
[16:47]
to construct the data center inside the
city's legal boundaries due to the due
[16:52]
to its length [clears throat] in l of
reading the complete text resources or
[16:55]
resolution. A complete copy is on file
to the office of the city clerk and is
[16:59]
available for public inspection. This is
the first reading of this proposed
[17:03]
ordinance.
>> Thank you. And Jim, could you please
[17:07]
once again provide a brief uh
explanation of the reason for this uh
[17:13]
issue? [clears throat]
>> Sure. Uh this matter also is coming
[17:16]
before you tonight on the recommendation
of the plan commission. Uh again, it's
[17:21]
an amendment of the city zoning
ordinance that requires a public hearing
[17:24]
held at the plan commission level. That
public hearing is also set for that
[17:30]
fourth Tuesday in uh January. After that
public hearing and plan [clears throat]
[17:36]
commission action, uh it will come back
uh as a second reading. Um here's the
[17:42]
the quick skinny on this. Uh per my
friend Ellen's comments, um the city
[17:48]
does not have specific means to regulate
data centers. Um this is a practical
[17:58]
first step to allow the city to regulate
them should at some time in the future
[18:03]
there be some uh proposal or application
to develop one within the within the
[18:08]
city. There there is [snorts] no such
application now. Um [clears throat]
[18:14]
the key I would say is that if the city
got an application tomorrow, the city
[18:20]
would try to enforce that under its
existing zoning ordinance which doesn't
[18:25]
recognize data centers. So we would try
to regulate under some industrial or
[18:32]
manufacturing zoning district. What the
change, the proposed change essentially
[18:39]
does, it requires data centers to locate
in the city's
[18:45]
heavy industrial district. Now, we
provide for that zoning district, but
[18:50]
there are no properties currently zoned
heavy industrial in the city of
[18:55]
Jefferson. Now, if you're thinking, why
does the city why doesn't the city just
[19:01]
prohibit them altogether? You can't do
that legally. you have to provide for
[19:06]
them [clears throat]
uh for a place to go. We're choosing to
[19:09]
do it in the heavy industrial district
which the city can regulate to the
[19:14]
greatest extent that it can. And again,
we have that district, but we don't have
[19:19]
a single property in the city that is
zon heavy industrial. So, uh, an
[19:24]
application, uh, or a developer that
wants to do one would have to come in,
[19:29]
ask for a reszone on the property to
that heavy industrial district. And the
[19:36]
city has really no legal obligation to
grant that zoning should it choose not
[19:42]
to to do so.
>> If I could add, Mr. Pay, um, with this
[19:48]
zoning change, a public hearing would be
required. Yeah, absolutely.
[19:53]
» Yes.
>> Thank you, Ch. Next up, uh, resolution
[20:00]
number 83. Tonight's consent agenda

[23:31]
I so moved.
>> It's been moved. Is there a second?
[23:34]
» Second. Second by Alman Schrader. Uh we
have Chless tonight.
[23:42]
Anything else you'd like to share about
this piece of code?
[23:44]
» Um it pretty much spells it all in the
resolution. This is a budgeted item in
[23:49]
the 2026 capital improvement plan. Um
the you do have in within your packet
[23:55]
the three competitive bids that were
given and so we will be under that
[24:00]
59,825
for the purchase of that. Um the two
[24:03]
implements I can tell you one includes a
brush and one will also probably include
[24:07]
a snowblower attachment. Um the city
parks department is responsible for
[24:13]
removing snow in any city rightway area.
That includes out here for city hall.
[24:17]
that includes any of the bridges within
town, the sidewalks that exist. And then
[24:22]
obviously we have places like the VFW,
the senior center, um, and we also have
[24:27]
the conservancy path and we also have
the path blue park that also has to be
[24:32]
removed. So by having that articulating
Bobcat with those functions on it, it
[24:36]
allows us to be more efficient with the
snow removal in those areas. In
[24:40]
addition, we also use that articulating
Bobcat for things like um tree removals
[24:44]
when we take down trees and we have to
load them in the back of the
[24:47]
» [clears throat]
>> that equipment is also purpose for that
[24:50]
as well. So, it's a very important piece
of mach machinery for us um in our
[24:54]
future work.
>> Are there any questions or comments from
[24:59]
the council?
>> What were we using before?
[25:02]
» Well, so we do have a L28 articulating
Bobcat now that's been in that's been
[25:07]
commissioned for probably [snorts] three
or four years already and because of its
[25:11]
use
>> eventually it's one of those things
[25:14]
where we have to start looking at
cycling them out. Um, so having two of
[25:17]
them available makes our work a lot
better.
[25:21]
» Any other questions or comments?
>> Thank you, Chad.
[25:26]
» Hearing none. All in favor of resolution
number 84, please signify by saying I as
[25:31]

>> Stman,
[25:33]
» I ter

[25:37]

>> Hi.
[25:40]
» It's unanimous. Thank you. Resolution
number 85, a resolution approving cost
[25:45]
reimbursement for additional
installation depth of sewer main for the
[25:49]
Jefferson Hills condominiums project.
[laughter] A woman buyer, please.
[25:54]
» Honorable mayor, council members, and
citizens, whereas the city of Jefferson
[25:58]
intends to extend sewer at the later at
a later date yet to be determined to un
[26:05]
undeveloped area east of Jefferson Hills
condominium project. And whereas this
[26:10]
requires the sewer main to be installed
at the depth and cost greater than the
[26:16]
required for the Jefferson Hills condo
project and where thou fair thou fit
[26:22]
there be it resolved by the common
council of the city of Jefferson
[26:25]
Wisconsin that earn re approves the
reimbursement to the Jefferson Hills
[26:31]
Condominiums LLC in the amount of
$49,000 for additional costs including
[26:38]
bench engineering. ing and installation
and be it resolved that by the common
[26:43]
council of city of Jefferson that the
city administrator is here and
[26:47]
authorized and directed to execute any
contract or document associated with the
[26:53]
above action on behalf of the city of
Jefferson following its review by the
[26:58]
city attorney. I would so move.
>> It's been moved. Is there a second?
[27:02]
» Second. Second by alderman.
Um Todd, would you please
[27:07]
a brief explanation of this and just
describe uh where this is located and
[27:13]
why it's necessary to uh provide
additional depth.
[27:18]
» Sure. So, this uh project is out by uh
the hotel on the north side of town on
[27:23]
the north uh north main business highway
26 and Junction Road. Uh the sewer right
[27:29]
now uh you may have seen some of the
construction uh right along the turn
[27:34]
lane onto Junction Road. That is where
the manhole is that they tied into. They
[27:39]
are extending sewer uh to the east end
into their project. Uh this is the
[27:45]
project as you can see right on the
screen right now. Uh they also have a
[27:50]
roadway that is proposed to be built and
just kind of deadended or hammerheaded
[27:55]
uh to the east. Uh like the ordinance or
the resolution said, they don't need to
[28:02]
put it in this deep to serve their
project, but we would like to make the
[28:05]
area to the east uh developable with uh
by putting the sewer in at additional
[28:13]
depth. So
the area in orange is by putting this in
[28:18]
about 6 ft deeper uh the engineering the
additional depth on the manholes uh
[28:24]
it'll allow us to serve this entire
property all the way over to the
[28:27]
railroad tracks. Some of it's not even
in the city yet it would have to be
[28:31]
annexed in. Uh and all these utilities
that they put in will be dedicated back
[28:35]
to the city at some time become part of
the city property.
[28:39]
» Thank you Jim.
Right. Um, the only thing I'd add to uh
[28:46]
Todd's comments is the alternative is to
extend service eastward on Junction
[28:53]
Road. Lot more expensive than
oversizing, putting a little deeper uh
[28:59]
to get gravity flow on that big orange
piece. Um, and as Todd mentioned, uh,
[29:07]
without mentioning any names, uh, there
is a single family development proposed
[29:13]
on, uh, the piece of ground immediately
to the east of, uh, the Jefferson Hills
[29:20]
uh, condominium uh, complex. And then
there's one more piece that is not
[29:25]
within our corporate [clears throat]
that takes us over to the railroad
[29:29]
tracks. Once you get on the other side
of the railroad tracks, then I think
[29:33]
service is coming from the south, either
up along Dwey or some other route. But
[29:40]
um our goal is to get to the railroad
tracks for future planning as cheaply as
[29:45]
we can. So I I think it makes a lot of
sense. The one thing I would say to you,
[29:51]
Chris, um, [clears throat] is that if
the council approves the resolution, I
[29:56]
think you and I would need to develop
uh, a simple agreement with the
[30:02]
developer out there that basically says,
look, you oversize the sewer, you put it
[30:09]
deeper, we'll we'll we'll pay for it at
that $49,000.
[30:14]
» Be a problem.
[clears throat]
[30:16]
» Thank you. Does anyone have any
questions of Todd, Tim, or Chris?
[30:25]
None. Okay. Call the role on resolution
number 85. All in favor, please signify
[30:32]
by saying I. As your name is called, if
you're opposed,
[30:35]
» I
>> I
[30:41]
unanimous. Thank you. I'll entertain a
motion to adjourn.
[30:45]
» I so move. It's been a move. Is there a
second
[30:50]
on our voice? All in favor of a journal,
please signify by saying I. I. You.
[30:55]
Thank you. We are journ. Have a good
night.
