along conditions and restrictions. Uh
it's for an auto body automotive
[1:56]

parking at Midwest Fleet Maintenance and
[2:02]
it is located at 6925 South 6.
Katherine, you want to properly read
[2:07]
that? [laughter]
>> Certainly. Public hearing number one is
[2:10]
to review a conditional use permit along
with conditions and restrictions for an
[2:14]
auto body automotive mechanical repair
with truck and trailer parking at
[2:18]
Midwest Fleet Maintenance, a proposed
business to be located at 6925 South 6th
[2:23]
Street, Sweet 100. Applicant is Dave
Parker, Midwest Fleet Maintenance LLC.
[2:28]
Property owner, Cross West Beach, Oak
Creek LLC. There follows the legal
[2:33]
description. Date of notice, August 5th,
2026.
[2:37]
» Thank you, Catherine. Christine.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor, members of the
[2:41]
common council. Christy Lane, community
development director. Uh this is for a
[2:45]
property that is just a little bit north
of Fire Station 3 on Sixth Street on the
[2:49]
west side of the road. Uh it's a
property that um is zone manufacturing.
[2:54]
Uh that general area is and they're
proposing a particular tenant, a new
[2:59]
tenant is proposing to occupy suite 100
and take up approximately 13,000 square
[3:03]
ft of the existing building. They're
requesting uh technically two
[3:08]
conditional uses. One for outdoor
storage of vehicles and the second for
[3:11]
an auto body automotive or mechanical
repair type of business. Um this is the
[3:18]
viewpoint from the public rightway. You
can't see the building. You can't see
[3:21]
the parking lot in the back. Um it's
very secluded uh and heavily wooded on
[3:26]
the eastern boundary along Sixth Street.
Uh so the first component of the
[3:32]
conditional use request is to store 14
semi-trailers and uh 14 semi-tractors
[3:39]
and 13 semi-trailers in the eastern
one-third of the rear parking lot. Uh
[3:44]
again, this is Sixth Street here, so you
cannot see any of this site from the
[3:49]
public rightway. It's very heavily
wooded here. Um this particular tenant
[3:54]
uh requires 46 parking spaces, excuse
me, requires 39 parking spaces per code
[3:59]
and 46 are provided. So there's
sufficient parking on the site. And then
[4:04]
the second component is uh they would
like to conduct auto body and automotive
[4:09]
mechanical repair uh for their
particular fleet. They would do
[4:13]
inspections, oil, fluid changes, your
standard maintenance uh for their
[4:17]
trailer fleet. And that portion would
take up about 6,800 square feet of the
[4:21]
maintenance shop.
Uh you have we have our standard
[4:26]
conditions and restrictions associated
um with this particular use. But then we
[4:30]
have three that stand out for this
particular type of conditional use
[4:35]
permit. One uh is that only the
designated area which was shown on the
[4:39]
site plan just a few slides before uh
was is for the outdoor storage of
[4:43]
vehicles. Uh two is that the storage is
limited to a maximum of 14 semi-trail
[4:50]
tractors and 13 semi-trailers
and then their hours of operation uh are
[4:55]
24 hours a day Monday through Friday.
Uh these are the standard re review
[5:02]
criteria if the county council would um
uh have a negative vote or action in the
[5:09]
request this evening. The plan
commission did review this and they
[5:13]
recommended approval at their July 28th
meeting. Um, that concludes my portion
[5:18]
of the public hearing summary. If you
have any questions, I'm happy to answer
[5:22]
them.
>> Thank you, Christie. Uh, as this is a
[5:27]
public hearing, I'll make three calls.
Anybody wishing to speak on the subject,
[5:30]
uh, please approach podium. Give your
name and address will be the first call.
[5:40]
Second call. Anybody wishing to speak?
[5:46]
If you'd like to say something, sir,
please approach podium. Are you
[5:52]
okay? We're going to need you on the
mic. So, I'll finish public hearing and
[5:56]
if there's questions, we'll have you.
Thank you.
[6:00]
Third and final call.
[6:05]
Okay, we will now close the public
hearing and move on to consideration of
[6:10]
a resolution for a conditional use
permit with conditions and restrictions
[6:14]
for the auto body automotive mechanical
repair the truck and trailer parking at
[6:18]
Midwest Fleet Maintenance is a proposed
business to be located at 6925 South 6th
[6:25]
Street. up to the council for questions,
comments.
[6:30]
Greg and um I was not at planning that
day. Was anything anything special
[6:36]
discussed here?
>> No, I think the only question that came
[6:38]
up was the storage and I believe the the
response was it's uh vehicles awaiting
[6:45]
maintenance to be done on them.
[6:50]
» Yeah, Greg, I'm not sure either of this
came up. Uh Christie, um I saw the
[6:55]
satellite picture look like there's
existing similar activity given the
[7:00]
amount of trailer parking in this
facility.
[7:05]
» Yes, correct. Off the top of my head, I
don't know who the particular tenant is,
[7:08]
but correct. And there was a similar
user Safeway um buses had the similar um
[7:15]
conditional use permit for this exact
same property. Um so yes.
[7:19]
» All right. And then remind me or Melissa
may have to remind you the conditional
[7:22]
use permit does that go with the
property or the tenant
[7:25]
» property
>> property.
[7:27]
We typically give a change of control
condition in there or uh ownership
[7:33]
change or anything on the property or a
term. Do we review them?
[7:36]
» We don't um conditional use permits we
are in ending date on conditional use
[7:42]
permits are are a challenge to manage at
the staff level. So, but uh if if if it
[7:49]
becomes problematic, uh a revocation is
always an option.
[7:55]
» Anything like that come up during this
discussion, Greg?
[7:58]
» No. Okay.
[8:04]
Sir, do you want to make a statement? If
you'd like to say something, you're more
[8:08]
than welcome.
>> Okay. Jim, anything? Okay. Uh seeing no
[8:14]
discussion, motion on five, please.
Mark moves to adopt resolution number
[8:19]
12721-090126,
[8:22]
a conditional use permit with conditions
and restrictions for auto body
[8:26]
automotive mechanical repair with truck
and trailer parking at Midwest Fleet
[8:30]
Maintenance. A proposed business to be
located at 6925 South 6th Street, Sweet
[8:36]
100.
>> Second.
[8:38]
» Roll call. Alderwoman Marshall I. Hale.
>> Hi.
[8:42]
» Kakowski. Hi.
>> Lauri.
[8:45]
» Ritz. Hi,
>> thank you. Good luck.
[8:50]
» Um, under new business, uh, item six is
a presentation. It's our 2026 midyear
[8:56]
budget monitoring report. And Max will,
uh, walk us through that. Welcome, Max.
[9:02]
» Yeah, thank you, Mayor and Common
Council. Max Gage, deputy city
[9:05]
administrator, finance officer. Uh, so
before you tonight is our midyear uh,
[9:10]
budget monitoring report. So it really
uh is looking at what are the city's
[9:15]
actual expenditures through six months,
how is that compared to budget uh and
[9:19]
then to provide context, how does that
look relative to where we were last
[9:23]
year. So uh really focusing on our
operating budget and our major funds. So
[9:29]
those major funds being the general
fund, solid waste fund, health insurance
[9:33]
fund, EMS fund, capital improvement
fund, and then our consolidated dispatch
[9:37]
fund.
Uh so this slide is just showing you our
[9:43]
general fund at a very high level. So
you can see we've collected just under
[9:47]
60% of our revenues relative to budget
for 2026 and that uh was a little bit
[9:54]
less in 2025
at 54%. Um on the next slide I'll talk
[9:59]
through some changes once we get to some
details. Then you can see expenditures
[10:03]
were at 42.3% spent through 2026 and
that was just under 40%.
[10:13]
So here's a little bit more detailed of
a breakdown looking at general fund
[10:17]
revenues um and where their collections
are this year versus last. Um you
[10:23]
there's some you'll see that are very
similar from one year to the next. So
[10:26]
things like property taxes collections
are very stable. uh you see them at
[10:31]
pretty regular intervals year after
year. So 89 90% is pretty common. Same
[10:37]
with state shared revenues. They're
distributed uh at very specific points
[10:41]
in time whether it's May, July.
So uh those are the ones that are pretty
[10:47]
consistent yeartoear. Uh the ones that
do have some variance. One I just want
[10:52]
to ref or mention is you'll see other
taxes pretty significantly increased uh
[10:57]
between 26 and 25. So, you know, one of
the things we've changed is uh just when
[11:02]
the utility remits the pilot payment to
the city. So, that was being done
[11:07]
previously in August at final tax
settlement. And that's because we used
[11:11]
to physically exchange checks when we
were two systems. And now that we're on
[11:15]
one system, uh we moved it to January
31st, which is when all other property
[11:20]
tax owners pay their property taxes. So,
that is showing the the sharper change
[11:26]
there. Uh other things you'll see is uh
license permit revenue were about 60%
[11:32]
collect. So again very good on a
straight line budget but trending a
[11:35]
little bit less than where we were last
year. Uh and very similar for charges
[11:39]
for services.
And then lastly on commercial revenues
[11:42]
as well. But you know the commercial
revenues is a little bit of a hidden
[11:46]
story there. So that's where like our
interest earnings fall within the budget
[11:50]
categories. Actual interest earnings are
up three and a half% year-over-year. So
[11:54]
very strong. um just we have more cash
rates are strong. Uh the one thing we
[12:00]
are seeing is unrealized losses in the
market. So not going to explain it here
[12:05]
very challenging concept but essentially
if you have a fixed investment and then
[12:09]
interest rates rise you have to mark
tomarket book a loss essentially because
[12:14]
if you were in a variable market
investment you would have earned. So we
[12:19]
are seeing unrealized losses because
interest rates have been going up the
[12:22]
last six months.
[12:28]
And next uh so looking at general fund
expenditures. So these are the
[12:32]
categories that are adopted by state
statute uh for the general fund budget
[12:36]
for general government, public safety,
health, public works and services. So
[12:41]
you can see everything is under a 50%
straight line budget like what we'd like
[12:44]
to see other than leisure services which
I I'll go into a little bit more detail
[12:48]
on the next couple slides. Uh but you
can see general government, public
[12:53]
safety, health, public works slightly
above where it was last year. You know,
[12:57]
one thing I can tell you that has
changed that does impact all the budgets
[13:01]
is that um our workers comp premiums are
now due all annually in January where
[13:07]
they used to be due quarterly. So that
does kind of shift uh some of the cash
[13:11]
flow and and the modeling.
[13:16]
Uh so here is just uh charts taken from
the actual financial report that was
[13:21]
provided to you. Um you know one of the
things I wanted to do this year is also
[13:26]
highlight um anything that is 40% or
less spent. So those are in yellow
[13:32]
you'll see because I do think it's
important that the council is aware as
[13:36]
to what is happening for budgets that
are unders spent because as you know
[13:40]
budgets become more difficult we want to
make sure that we're delivering the
[13:45]
programs and services you expect. So uh
you'll see general fund uh is pretty
[13:49]
underspent. The one thing is we have a
contingency there that generally goes
[13:53]
unspent each year. So uh that is to be
expected to be uh well underspent each
[13:59]
year. Uh you'll also see city
administrator's offices are carrying a
[14:04]
vacancy right now for a management
assistant position and the city
[14:08]
attorney's office were carrying uh some
uh excess funds for like outside
[14:13]
litigation and we uh had litigation last
year Bucky's lawsuit that fighting
[14:18]
issues realizing savings there. uh in
the finance department. Uh one of the
[14:24]
things we started a few years ago was uh
all the work that myself and our finance
[14:29]
accounting manager do related to the
utility, we directly charge it to them.
[14:34]
Uh and but we still fully budget them in
the so that's one of the things we're
[14:39]
trying to rectify with the cost
allocation plan you guys approved a few
[14:42]
months ago. Uh as well as I know some of
the audit bills generally come later in
[14:48]
the year the audit was issued. you'll
see those final bills probably in July
[14:53]
and then
and then lastly emergency operations you
[14:57]
can see at three% spent uh again we
haven't
[15:02]
see so would expect that to be
underspent but you can see everything
[15:06]
else trending very close to 49%
48% 45 so uh what we would be to expect
[15:13]
for this share
[15:18]
and then looking at uh the latter half
of departments. The only one that really
[15:22]
under spent right now is the engineering
department who's had a few vacancies in
[15:26]
the first six months. One with an
engineering tech and then deputy city
[15:31]
engineer. Uh and then you'll see lastly
recreation has spent at 100%. So uh we
[15:37]
have two payments that go to the school
district for the recreation program.
[15:40]
Those occur in January. So again going
back to a couple charts we were showing
[15:45]
leisure services at 50% spent primarily
due to 100% being spent recreation but
[15:52]
otherwise you can see many departments
49% 45% so what I would expect uh for
[16:00]
those departments and probably not
seeing major vacancies there either that
[16:04]
realizing savings.
[16:09]
So this next chart is just showing uh
the revenue trends for our major funds.
[16:13]
So those funds I listed at the beginning
of the presentation uh and where those
[16:17]
are at. I'll just go through those ve at
a very high level. Uh you'll see that um
[16:23]
general fund is outpacing where it was
last year. Solid waste is basically
[16:28]
where it is last year that most of that
budget is funded through the tax levy.
[16:33]
Actually 5% of it is. So that's
following tax collection very closely.
[16:38]
So that's what I would expect there. Uh
health departments at 46% which uh is a
[16:44]
little bit lower than last year but
that's actually not a bad thing. So last
[16:48]
year we had some higher cost claims some
stop-loss reimbursements. So it was
[16:52]
actually pushing revenue up higher which
uh from a stop-loss perspective not
[16:56]
great because that means there's a
corresponding expense on the other side.
[16:59]
You'll see EMS fund very consistent to
past years again predominantly levy
[17:05]
funded operation outside of ambulance
fees. You'll see the CIP fund at 42% and
[17:11]
dispatch at 79%. Again very uh
very uh heavily funded with property
[17:19]
taxes at least the city's portion and uh
our two partners
[17:23]
funded as well.
[17:27]
the major expenditures for uh those
funds. So everything trending uh what we
[17:33]
would expect uh general fund is trending
a little bit higher but again I think
[17:37]
part of the shift in that worker comp
premium beginning of the year is leading
[17:41]
to some of it um but you can see solid
waste right on track where we were last
[17:45]
year. Health insurance is actually down
at 47% so had a good year so far. Uh you
[17:52]
can see MS fund a little bit higher than
last year but still at 43%. So under a
[17:57]
50% straight line budget capital
improvement fund you can see at 17% last
[18:02]
year it was really highly spent. So the
capital improvement fund's a little
[18:06]
tricky because uh you might budget for a
capital project in one year and then it
[18:10]
takes multi-year to so for example if
you were to look at uh the lakefront
[18:16]
bluff stabilization project you know you
budgeted $10 million for that say in
[18:22]
2022 or 2023 and then it got it took 23
24 25. So you might see a lot of
[18:27]
expenditures in 25 that's what happened
that project but the budget was actually
[18:32]
in. So that kind of explains some of it.
You know the other part of it is I don't
[18:38]
believe we had any of our um we hadn't
paid any bills yet for our street
[18:42]
improvement program yet and that's a $4
million project. So that's also bringing
[18:47]
this down. But uh you know we'll expect
that we'll be closer spent closer to
[18:54]
year end than dispatch very similar last
year.
[18:59]
And then lastly you know one of the
things we like to hit on is just you
[19:03]
know what are some of our larger
operating line items. So those are
[19:06]
usually utilities and fuel. So you can
see where those are trending right now.
[19:11]
Uh electricity very similar last year
well under 50%. So we're in pretty good
[19:16]
shape there. Uh you can see water and
sewer utilities 66%. So it is trending
[19:22]
higher than last year. Uh but when you
look at it, it's really cyclical in
[19:26]
nature and how bills fall. So you know
because you're build quarterly, it's um
[19:31]
you know it has a cyclical nature to it.
But uh you know when I looked at this
[19:36]
over the last few years, we would always
end up within budget. So I think just we
[19:40]
have some large facilities who have
large water bills that probably fall in
[19:44]
the first half of the year.
Second half of the year uh you'll see
[19:49]
natural gas is trending higher than last
year. Uh but it's at 45%. So under
[19:54]
budget natural gas again very tricky
budget because uh it's really weather
[19:58]
dependent. So it's cold December J
February and you actually see most of
[20:04]
your natural gas costs in January
February and then December. So, you
[20:08]
know, two of the three cold months where
you see the most natural gas usage
[20:12]
actually passed so far. So, uh I again I
feel pretty good about where that
[20:17]
budget's at.
Much pressure there. Uh and then lastly,
[20:22]
fuel budget. So, you can see the fuel
budget has been 44% spent uh through
[20:28]
June. Uh which is actually really
reassuring given the pretty significant
[20:33]
increase in fuel rates. Uh last year it
was at 34% spent. So, uh, you know, we
[20:38]
were just in a position where especially
we've been changing out the fleet and
[20:42]
getting newer vehicles. They're more
fuel efficient.
[20:46]
Had realized savings in that fuel budget
the last few years, but given high
[20:51]
prices and not sure when they will
recede. I think we're still in a good
[20:57]
position. So, I know many communities
are are struggling and having to find
[21:02]
money in the budget to increase their
fuel for next year uh because they're
[21:06]
underbudgeted. I think we're in a good
position. So, that is reassuring.
[21:12]
Um with that, I'm happy to answer any
questions you have.
[21:16]
» Thank you, Max. Questions for Max.
Buddy, Greg, nice job. Very well
[21:23]
prepared.
>> Personal personal finance
[21:29]
No. Very good. Very good. It's good to
see we're on track. We appreciate it.
[21:34]
Okay. Um, moving on, we'll go to public
works and utility item seven and we'll
[21:40]
consider a motion to reject the bid for
the Avenshine Beer Garden Prep work
[21:44]
construction project.
>> Chitting on that one, Dan. Mayor Dan,
[21:48]
» you got it?
>> Yes.
[21:49]
» Okay.
>> Doing my best to pinch, so bear with me.
[21:51]
Um, in regards to the Aenshine beer
garden prep work project, um, we
[21:56]
actually split the beer garden project
into two separate bids. One for the prep
[22:00]
work, the site work, um, and then
another for the actual construction,
[22:05]
fabrication, assembly, and, uh, delivery
and assembly on site of the canisters
[22:10]
themselves. Um, we have had to shift
gears on this project a little bit, um,
[22:17]
since probably May time frame. uh we
knew that some of the work we were going
[22:22]
to perform with the DPW could we could
no longer do that in in-house uh a
[22:29]
combination of staffing transitions and
uh losing some of our more senior uh
[22:34]
leaders and ski in the skilled trades
too that were going to be helping with
[22:37]
those projects um to the utility. So,
not too far. Um, but um, not having
[22:42]
those uh, those experts on our crews um,
made us second guess that along with
[22:46]
having to transition the coordination of
the project with our DPW director
[22:50]
leaving. So, we knew uh, there's going
to be a gap, a small gap in this
[22:54]
project, but when we opened the bids a
few weeks ago for the site prep work,
[22:59]
um, we were, you know, taken aback by
the costs. um one bidder a cost of a
[23:04]
million dollars which was about three
times what we had planned including a
[23:08]
higher estimate for not performing the
work in house that we have been
[23:11]
contemplating for a few months. So with

get some better pricing for you in a few

being is had a chance to look at this
[24:36]
agreement. Um this is simply that the
relocation of water mane for the Creek 2
[24:42]
development. Uh this is in Creekide
Corporate Park. uh 190,000 square foot
[24:49]
building is planned. This agreement um
really is the culmination of reviewing a
[24:54]
lot of the title history. There's a
number of declarations, covenants, and
[24:58]
restrictions. So, from the time that the
public water man was installed in 2001,
[25:04]
there is an adjustment that needs to be
made for this project. So, the water man
[25:08]
is going to be abandoned and then
realigned to facilitate this
[25:12]
development. Happy to answer any
questions.
