September 26, 2001- 4:30PM to 5:39PM

1) Call to Order – Bill Strawn

2) Roll Call & Announcements

Present: Randy Ealy, Bill Strawn, Jerry Polzin, Richard Hartwig, Diedre Landon

Absent: NONE

3) Proposed Recycling Center:

We reviewed the proposed design for the facility to be located at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Then we looked at the cost breakdown for the proposed location, the numbers are only approximate costs, but it will give a pretty good idea of what we are looking at.

Material		Labor
Price	Description	Price
$ 1,700	Gravel	$ 3,400
$ 6,175	AC	$ 1,000
$ 500	Gate	$ -
$ 1,700	Fence	$ 500
$ 1,500	Misc.	$ 3,000	*Total*
$ 3,425	Additional	$ 100	*Estimated Cost*
$ 15,000	+	$ 8,000	=	$ 23,000

1) Bill will be touching bases with Nancy Spieler of SOLV to finalize some concerns. Such as:

o Is the site flexible or set, once the grant has been obtained? Can we relocate the recycling center, or do we have to build it where it was originally proposed?

2) Should we contact SafeAct and/or Boosters before the grant application is submitted? (October 1, 2001 is the grant deadline.)

o Are there any insurance or liability issues with the proposal of weekend volunteers working on-site at the center? The volunteers can work on-site periodically throughout the year and petition to receive portions of the profit once a year when the City is reimbursed for their recycled supplies.

3) Can we build a catwalk? It was not a part of the approximate cost. That will need to be added and the cost estimate revised. The containers are 9’ tall.

4) How do we regulate the placement of recycling center boxes around town? Can we pass an ordinance to regulate this?

5) Main Street Re-Alignment

We reviewed the proposed design for the Main Street Realignment and discussed how it will affect the surrounding businesses.

6) We looked at the proposed path and discussed whether it would be helpful or detrimental for the business in question. A majority of the businesses should see a positive change from the proposed change. It would allow an easier path of access for their locations while also increasing the traffic flow driving by their businesses.

We looked at what would need to be done to acquire some additional property in order to make the proposed design work. We would be vacating 5^th Avenue in front of the Fire Department, so this land would be available to use for trades, incentives, etc.

7) We would need to acquire a small portion of the TEXACO lot corner. This would be needed to realign the road correctly. We should be able to offer them a portion of the vacated road in exchange for their property corner.

8) We would need to acquire a strip of land from the Bresco Oil Company, which would require the relocation of their office trailer. We entertained the idea of trading them some of the vacated road in exchange for a strip of their land.

9) Any remaining portion of the vacated land would be given to the Fire Department.

Richard Hartwig mentioned that he had spoken with the owner of Bresco Oil and that the owner was concerned with the proposal. He had seen information about it in the Transportation System Master Plan. The group decided that it would be a good idea to take some time to sit down with the owner and explain the proposal to clarify any concerns he may have, before proceeding to far with the project.

10) Wade Street – Stop Signs

After the community meeting with the neighborhood Randy Ealy and Richard Hartwig were proposing that we add a few additional stop signs to the area, to protect the school children that are walking along 2^nd Avenue.

Bill Strawn suggested that we relocated the signs that are stopping traffic along 2^nd Avenue and rotate them so that 2^nd Avenue is a steady flow of traffic, but that Wade and Zobrist are stopped. This would allow better safety for the children, while also slowing down traffic in the area. Bill offered to draw a diagram of this proposal to send out to the residents in the area, along with a memorandum from Randy Ealy.

Richard Hartwig asked if there were moveable speed bumps so that we could do a speed bump analysis. This would allow us to determine the best and most effective location for a speed bump in that area. Diedre Landon mentioned that she had seen recycled plastic speed bumps. These could probably be relocated and removed if necessary.

11) Member Recruitment

They would like to recruit at least one additional member to be a part of the infastructure committee. No one had any suggestions at the meeting. Each member will keep their eyes and ears open for a potential team member.

12) Agenda for Next Meeting

No one had any specific topics by the end of this meeting. If anyone comes up with a topic that they would like to see brought up at the next meeting, they will contact Diedre Landon via phone, fax or e-mail. She will see that it is put on the agenda.
