If received, the Health Department intends to use the funds to help reduce lead hazards in Menasha homes. Their plan is to enhance a data base with the ages of homes to assess lead risks, provide education to families on lead hazard in homes, collaborate with medical personnel to increase the number of children receiving blood lead level testing, maintain the home water filtration program, and conduct a cost benefit analysis of integrating the project into current health department programs. PHD McKenney stated this is a very competitive grant, however there is compelling reason to apply for funds, given the statistics the Health Department has gathered in Menasha.

D. PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANY ITEM OF CONCERN ON THIS AGENDA 1. Sandra Dabill Taylor, 545 Broad Street – noted the following items: the election of officers should take place on the annual meeting on the first Tuesday of May of each month and year; noted that Ahnaip Street is a gateway to Menasha and should be taken into consideration when looking at future developments; and cautioned the RDA to make sure that prior to marketing the property that they are very specific to the what they wish to accomplish – value, materials, size, etc.
Public comment in regards to Banta/RR Donnelley Property at 460 Ahnaip was taken at the time of discussion.
E. DISCUSSION / ACTION ITEMS 1. Election of Officers a. Chairperson CDD Schroeder opened the floor for nominations. Comm. Kennedy nominated Comm. Vanderhyden as Chairperson of the RDA. Having no other nominations CDD Schroeder closed the nominations. All voted aye.
Comm. Vanderhyden took over as Chairman
b. Vice-Chairperson Comm. Vanderhyden opened the floor for nominations. Comm. Vanderhyden nominated Comm. Golden. Having no other nominations, Comm. Vanderhyden closed the nominations. All voted aye.
2. Renewal of Listing Agreement, Lake Park Villas – Richard DeKleyn, Coldwell Banker CDD Schroeder gave a brief history of the Lake Park Villas and indicated that the RDA still owns 48 lots within the development.
The commissioners had a general discussion about Lake Park Villas and felt that our realtor was doing a good job and now that he has been marketing the lots for a year he will know how to better market them in the future.
Comm. Kennedy made a motion to renew a one year listing agreement with Richard Dekleyn, Coldwell Banker. Motion was seconded by Comm. Golden. The motion carried.
3. Presentation – Fish Fry Properties, Banta/RR Donnelley Todd Parker, president of Fish Fry Properties having shown interest in property over the last several months presented an overview of conceptual ideas for the entire property and specifically to the 4 story tower on the southwestern part of the property. Seeing the public’s interest in the preservation of this portion of the building, Mr. Parker felt that it would be a great fit for an apartment style development with enclosed parking and requested that the RDA consider granting him and Gries Architect an exclusive due diligence period to do further investigation and feasibility of redeveloping the 4 story tower.
General discussion ensued over the presentation between Todd Parker, the commission, and the public attending the meeting. The Commission discussed their overall vision of the property and how that fit with Mr. Parker’s proposal. Concerns were raised about what type of commitment the RDA would be giving to Fish Fry Property if they were to grant a due diligence period. It was noted that after the due diligence period the RDA would still need to accept/negotiate any terms within a purchase and sales agreement which at that time could alleviate any concerns.
Ald. Nichols motioned to grant Fish Fry Properties request allowing them to bring back a draft memorandum of understanding giving an exclusive due diligence period for 90 days at which time, Fish Fry Properties may present their findings and a purchase/sale contract, but in no way is this commitment to a future contract. Motion was seconded by Comm. Stevens. The motion carried.
4. Banta/RR Donnelley Property – 460 Ahnaip Street Discussion continued from the previous item and more broadly discussed overarching themes of the future development. In addition, the RDA discussed staff’s recommendation to continue the conversation of redeveloping the parking lot south of Ahnaip Street with Row/Town housing and define criteria to that could be included as part of an RFP. Staff explained that the overall property leans itself well to some phased development and encouraged the RDA to continue making stepped progress. It was also noted that if the RDA chooses to look at Fish Fry Properties redevelopment concepts, that this property would not need to be the first phase.
General discussion ensued with public feedback throughout the discussion.
F. ADJOURNMENT Comm. Kennedy made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Comm. Golden. The motion carried. Adjourned at 6:32 PM
Minutes respectfully submitted by AP Joe Stephenson.
City of Menasha ● Office of the Mayor Donald Merkes, Mayor [email protected]
MEMORANDUM
TO: Common Council FROM: Donald Merkes, Mayor DATE: 31 May 2018 RE: Protocol Committee
In response to several questions during the last Common Council meeting regarding protocol:
1. A comment was made that the Protocol Committee meeting minutes and agendas are not available to the public online. Protocol committee agendas are posted as required by Wisconsin state law. Minutes are taken at the meetings and are all available at the office of the city clerk or online on City’s website at:http://www.cityofmenasha- wi.gov/residents/government/agendas_minutes_and_televised_meetings/protocol_co mmittee_(ad_hoc).php
2. A question was raised as to the process for removing items from the agenda. A motion was made and approved at the November 20th Protocol Meeting stating that no items may be removed from an agenda without approval from the chairperson after the initial approval of the agenda by the chairperson. In addition, the Common Council’s Rules of Order at paragraph 1.06 provide: “1) No items may be removed from an agenda without approval from the chairperson after the initial approval of the agenda by the chairperson.”
3. A statement was made that any alderman can add an item to agenda. Not necessarily. It depends. The City of Menasha has developed rules of order and does have a few ordinances dealing with placing certain items on an agenda. SEC. 2-2- 16(b); SEC. 2-2-5(f); SEC. 2-2-15. As a matter of course any alderman can ask at a meeting to have an item placed on the next agenda. It may or may not require a vote by the committee or council to place an item on the agenda. Items previously adopted and items meant to intimidate or otherwise serve no legitimate purpose should not be placed on an agenda. Some items require certain statutory notifications be given prior to being placed on an agenda.
4. A statement was made that the Protocol Committee had decided that Aldermen were allowed to speak as citizens during the public comment period of Common Council meetings. The Protocol Committee actually took no action on this topic. A motion was made to create a rule regarding elected officials speaking as a citizen from the gallery stating: Given that members of government bodies have ready access to agendas of the body, use of the Stat 19.82(4) exception by aldermen to discuss unnoticed matters from the gallery will not be allowed as it may be seen as an impermissible attempt to circumvent the notice requirements of the open meetings law. However, the motion died due to the lack of a second (See also attached League of Wisconsin Municipalities FAQ).

TO: Common Council FROM: Donald Merkes, Mayor City of Menasha Sustainability Board DATE: 31 May 2018 RE: Spring Electronics Recycling Event
The City of Menasha Sustainability Board hosts two electronics recycling events annually at the Menasha Utilities building on Milwaukee Street. At the most recent event on May 19th there were 332 participants (107 more than our previously most successful event), and 21,223 lbs. of recyclable electronics were kept out of the landfill. This compares to 10,593 lbs. from the fall 2017 event.
The next recycling date is October 13th from 8AM-Noon. The committee also collects donations for St. Vincent de Paul as an additional measure to keep items out of the landfill.

ISO 14001:2015 Certified #A102908 Wis. DNR License 12843 121 N. Linwood Ave. – Appleton, WI 54914 ADS 5/24/2018 Rating of Racine St. Bascule Bridge (B-70-0001-02)
Racine Street over Fox River City of Menasha Winnebago County
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires all states to have an accurate, up-to-date load rating file on record for all state and local owned bridges. FHWA also mandated that State DOTs evaluate all bridges for a newly-defined suite of load posting vehicles, termed Special Haul Vehicles (SHVs). This evaluation had to be completed by December 31, 2017. Structures falling below a certain rating level needed to be checked for a load posting based on these SHVs.
It was this evaluation of SHVs that caused the Racine St. Bridge to be load posted at 30 tons, due in part to the age of the structure and the changes made in design philosophies over time. The end floor beam member of each bascule span (shown below) controls the structure rating. The load posting is a result of the analysis of the newer posting vehicles, not an indication of a structural deficiency or poor design.
An effort was made to conduct a more rigorous analysis using 3D computer techniques. This did improve the overall load rating results, but did not ultimately remove the structure from needing a posting.

The approach spans are multi girder steel plate girder sections. Span 9 has a FC 2- girder section. The bascule portion of the bridge is located in span 10 and consists of 4 fracture critical haunched girders. INSPECTION FREQUENCY: 24 month EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: Reach-All Inspection vehicle INSPECTION STAFF: 3 persons TRAFFIC CONTROL: Inspection requires a flagging operation on the bridge. (Winnebago County Hwy Dept) FC DIAGRAM: See attached MEMBERS TO INSPECT: Haunched steel bascule girders and 2-girder section in span 9. AREAS OF CONCERN: Monitor distortion caused by pack rust at girder stiffeners and connection areas. INSPECTION PROCEDURE: A hands-on visual inspection is required on all surfaces of the four steel bascule girders. In addition, special attention should be given to all connection details on the steel superstructure such as butt welds, stiffeners, lower lateral connections and bracing connections. Observations and measurements are taken to identify any changes from previous fracture critical inspections. If any suspect areas are found, then non-destructive testing procedures should be performed to determine the extent of the problem.

(Winnebago County Hwy Dept) FC DIAGRAM: See attached MEMBERS TO INSPECT: Haunched steel bascule girders and 2-girder section in span 9. AREAS OF CONCERN: Monitor distortion caused by pack rust at girder stiffeners and connection areas. INSPECTION PROCEDURE: A hands-on visual inspection is required on all surfaces of the four steel bascule girders. In addition, special attention should be given to all connection details on the steel superstructure such as butt welds, stiffeners, lower lateral connections and bracing connections. Observations and measurements are taken to identify any changes from previous fracture critical inspections. If any suspect areas are found, then non-destructive testing procedures should be performed to determine the extent of the problem.

NBI Ratings File New Deck 6 6 Superstructure 5 5 Substructure 5 5 Culvert NN Channel 8 8 Waterway 8 8 Structure Specific Notes The routine underwater inspection of Bridge B-70-01 (Racine St. over the Fox River) was completed on November 29, 2016. The underwater inspection was conducted from a 20 ft boat. The inspection was conducted by a team consisting of one ADCI certified PE- Diver with WisDOT Team leader experience (TL #9534), one engineer diver and one technician. The inspection utilized commercial SCUBA equipment in accordance with OSHA regulations. Soundings were obtained with a continuously recording fathometer operating at 200 kHz and linked to a WAAS enabled GPS receiver. Additional soundings were obtained around the piers with a survey rod. Current flow conditions can be found at http://waterwatch.usgs.gov. U.S. Coastguard notification is not required for a local notice to mariners announcement at this bridge since it is not located on navigable waterway per USCG. Local law enforcement was notified for security considerations of the diving operations prior to inspection at: Winnebago County Sheriffs Dept. (920) 727-2888. The US Army Corps of Engineers operates the Menasha Dam located immediately downstream of the bridge and they can be contacted at (920) 380-7101. The bridge elements to be inspected consist of 12 reinforced concrete columns and 2 concrete abutments, one concrete pier wall and one timber fender system. According to plans dated 1949, Piers 1 through 9 are founded on spread footings. Therefore, inspection procedures should follow FHWA guidance and the WisDOT structure Inspection Manual with channel bottom probing to search for bottom of foundations. The routine underwater inspection frequency is recommended to remain at 60 months based on those findings and risk factors. Also, inspection procedures should continue to follow the above approach and standard guidance with 100% Level I and 10% Level II intensity efforts. Inspection Specific Notes

The approach spans are multi girder steel plate girder sections. Span 9 has a FC 2-girder section. The bascule portion of the bridge is located in span 10 and consists of 4 fracture critical haunched girders. INSPECTION FREQUENCY: 24 month EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: Reach-All Inspection vehicle INSPECTION STAFF: 3 persons TRAFFIC CONTROL: Inspection requires a flagging operation on the bridge. (Winnebago County Hwy Dept) FC DIAGRAM: See attached MEMBERS TO INSPECT: Haunched steel bascule girders and 2-girder section in span 9. AREAS OF CONCERN: Monitor distortion caused by pack rust at girder stiffeners and connection areas. INSPECTION PROCEDURE: A hands-on visual inspection is required on all surfaces of the four steel bascule girders. In addition, special attention should be given to all connection details on the steel superstructure such as butt welds, stiffeners, lower lateral connections and bracing connections. Observations and measurements are taken to identify any changes from previous fracture critical inspections. If any suspect areas are found, then non-destructive testing procedures should be performed to determine the extent of the problem.

The underwater inspection was conducted from a 20 ft boat. The inspection was conducted by a team consisting of one ADCI certified PE- Diver with WisDOT Team leader experience (TL #9534), one engineer diver and one technician. The inspection utilized commercial SCUBA equipment in accordance with OSHA regulations. Soundings were obtained with a continuously recording fathometer operating at 200 kHz and linked to a WAAS enabled GPS receiver. Additional soundings were obtained around the piers with a survey rod. Current flow conditions can be found at http://waterwatch.usgs.gov. U.S. Coastguard notification is not required for a local notice to mariners announcement at this bridge since it is not located on navigable waterway per USCG. Local law enforcement was notified for security considerations of the diving operations prior to inspection at: Winnebago County Sheriffs Dept. (920) 727-2888. The US Army Corps of Engineers operates the Menasha Dam located immediately downstream of the bridge and they can be contacted at (920) 380-7101. The bridge elements to be inspected consist of 12 reinforced concrete columns and 2 concrete abutments, one concrete pier wall and one timber fender system. According to plans dated 1949, Piers 1 through 9 are founded on spread footings. Therefore, inspection procedures should follow FHWA guidance and the WisDOT structure Inspection Manual with channel bottom probing to search for bottom of foundations. The routine underwater inspection frequency is recommended to remain at 60 months based on those findings and risk factors. Also, inspection procedures should continue to follow the above approach and standard guidance with 100% Level I and 10% Level II intensity efforts.

Subject Crash Analysis Technical Memorandum
From AECOM
Date March 5, 2015
Introduction The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region is evaluating alternatives for rehabilitating or replacing the Racine Street Bridge over the Menasha Branch of the Fox River in Winnebago County. The bridge is one of two structures in the city of Menasha that provides access between the central business district and Doty Island and enables north-south movement through the city.
Figure 1: Project Overview Map
Little Lake Butte des Morts Racine Street Bridge
Fox River
Lake Winnebago
As part of the Racine Street Bridge project, an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) report is being conducted on two intersection locations within the project limits. One aspect of the ICE report is the intersection crash analysis. This crash analysis technical memorandum includes a brief summary of trends at each individual intersection and crash data in spreadsheet format.
Those intersections are: 1. Racine Street and Main Street 2. Racine Street, Ahnaip Street and Keyes Street
The existing intersection of Racine Street and Main Street is located directly north of Racine Street Bridge. This is a signalized intersection with a posted speed of 25 mph in an urban setting. The existing intersection is substandard with narrow lanes and inadequate horizontal curves. Additionally, this intersection has insufficient sight distances due to the location of the movable bridge operator’s house.
The existing intersection of Racine Street, Ahnaip Street and Keyes Street is located directly south of Racine Street Bridge. This is a controlled one-way stop intersection with a posted speed of 25 mph in an urban setting. The existing intersection is substandard with narrow lanes and inadequate horizontal curves. Additionally, there are public and private access points to buildings and public parking at this intersection. There are insufficient sight distances at this intersection as well.
Crash Data Source The 2009-2013 crash data was provided by the WisDOT Northeast Region. The crash data was separated by City of Menasha Municipality in Winnebago County. There were 29 crashes that occurred in this corridor during this time period. Furthermore, the City of Menasha Police Department noted that approximately 25% of vehicle crashes in the city take place on Racine Street in the vicinity of the bridge.
Intersection Entering Volumes “Intersection entering volume” is the number of vehicles that enter the intersection from each direction in a day. This value is used to compute the intersection crash rate, typically expressed as crashes per one million entering vehicles. For the two intersection locations, 2010 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) traffic counts were provided by means of a WisDOT Traffic Forecast Report. A copy of this Traffic Forecast Report can be found in Appendix A.
Crash Rates The number of intersection crashes and crash rates are summarized in Figure 2. Both
intersections are classified as City Street Urban. The five year average crash rate for each intersection per one million entering vehicles is below. Each intersection average crash rate was less than 1.00 crashes per one million entering vehicles.

Crash Severity Figure 3 below provides a summary of the crash severity the project corridor. The severity levels include Fatal (killed), Injury A (incapacitating), Injury B (non¬incapacitating), Injury C (possible injury), and Property Damage. The breakdown shows there were no fatality or incapacitating injuries in the project corridor, which is conducive to the low traveling speeds. Property damage resulted in approximately 70% of the crashes involved in the project corridor.

Results The crash data from both intersections suggest that most accidents were single vehicle or rear end collisions occurring during dry conditions at PM peak hours. Upgrades in intersection geometry design and access control should help reduce these crashes. Additionally sight line and horizontal curve improvements could potentially reduce crashes by the traveling public. Speed and weather conditions will always be a factor with these intersections due to the urban setting and variety of Wisconsin weather that drivers face.

Mayor Don Merkes, SENT VIA EMAIL City of Menasha City Hall 100 Main Street, Suite 200 Menasha, WI 54952
Dear Mayor Merkes,
Thank you for reaching out to East Central regarding our opinions and insights on the future replacement of the Racine Street Bridge facility. As we understand this project, as approved by WisDOT, would replace the current bridge on a new alignment with roundabouts at both ends as well as new bike/pedestrian accommodations. To date, East Central has been involved in this effort in several ways, including:
Generation of Travel Demand Model traffic forecasts for the future facility; Recognition of the project’s need as part of our official Long-Range Transportation/Land Use Plan for the Fox Cities TMA, and; Recognition of this facility as a key regional connector for bicycle and pedestrian traffic as part of our Appleton (Fox Cities) Transportation Management Area & Oshkosh Metropolitan Planning Organization Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan.
While we cannot speak to the pros/cons of facility ownership and operations after construction (as that is purely a local decision), we can offer support for the construction of the new bridge facility as proposed by WisDOT, with the inclusion of new bike/pedestrian accommodations – regardless of who ultimately owns/operates the facility. Many reasons can be cited for this support including the short and long term benefits associated with:
Safety – There is no doubt that the proposed facility design will improve safety for cars, bikes and pedestrians who regularly use this facility as compared to the current one;
Community Identity - The bridge is one of only two connection points between downtown Menasha and Doty Island and from an aesthetic perspective, any new facility should be looked at as an improvement to the identity of the community and its renewed focus on the riverfront.
Community Connectivity - The City has already invested funds in the creation of riverwalk paths on both sides of the river. The new bridge, with bike/ped accommodations would fill a critical gap in this planned trail system as well as provide a regional linkage to other trails. Furthermore the location of the bridge
in relation to existing school facilities would certainly benefit students who walk to/from Nicolet Elementary School or the Menasha High School;
Housing Development – The housing stock on Doty Island should be of great importance to the City with respect to its proximity to downtown Menasha. Improving the bicycle/pedestrian accommodatioons on the Racine Street Bridge would further the connectivity between the two areas and may ultimately make this neighborhood even more desirable. This may, over time, increase property values.
Business Development – Development potential for the Gillbert/Banta properties on the south side of the new bridge would be greatly enhanced. Thee new facility, with bike/ped accommodations may help to attract development as it would improve connectivity of this redevelopment area with downtown and the rest of Menasha.
Health – Although not measured, the health benefits of a new multi-modal bridge facility would certainly increase. Providing the option for residents to bike or walk to work or school not only reduces congestion, but also promotes a healthy lifestyle.
In summary, the design of the future bridge should be considered critical to the future of downtown Menasha and its riverfront as this facility will be in place for the next 75 to 100 years. I or my staff would be happy to meet with the City Council or other City Staff in the future as needed to further discuss this project and its potential benefits to City and area residents and businesses.
Sincerely,
Eric W. Fowle, AICP Executive Director c (via email): Walt Raith, Transportation Pgm. Director Melissa Kraemer-Badtke, Principal Plannner Kim Biedermann, Regional Bicycle & Pedestrian Coordinator City of Menasha ● Office of the Mayor Donald Merkes, Mayor [email protected]
MEMORANDUM
TO: Common Council FROM: Donald Merkes, Mayor DATE: 31 May 2018 RE: Status of Racine Street Bridge Funding at the State level
During the May 21st Common Council Meeting Ald. Taylor commented that both our state representatives as well as the Secretary of Transportation were uncertain if the Racine Street Bridge project would move forward. That information was directly contrary to information that I had previously received from our elected officials and the state. Contacting each of them I received the following information:
I spoke to Amanda Stuck regarding the Racine Street Bridge project on May 22nd, it was her understanding that funding for the project was in place and the project was moving forward based on the engineering that DOT has completed. She has authored legislation to exempt the Racine Street Bridge from requirements of 84.10.
I spoke to Michael Donatello at Roger Roth’s office on May 30th regarding the Racine Street Bridge Project. It was their understanding that everything remained in place for the project to begin construction in 2020 and that the funding remained in place. Senator Roth has been in contact with the Secretary of the DOT regarding available options for the project.
I spoke to Will Dorsey at the Wisconsin DOT regarding the Racine Street Bridge Project on May 30th. The project is in que for construction beginning in 2020. While there have been conversations at the State level because of the ongoing debate at the City level. He was not aware of any changes in the Secretary’s position.
Being that the information that I received from each of the three offices was directly contrary to statements at the last meeting, I believe that it is important that this information be shared with members of the Common Council.
