CROIX COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MINUTES Page 2 August 5, 1999 Announcements and Correspondences: Fedderly noted several upcoming meetings scheduled. The District 6 golf outing is scheduled for August 9, 1999 at the New Richmond Golf Course. The August 11, 1999 Jurisdictional Study meeting has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for September 8, 1999 at 12:30 P.M. (after the next Transportation Committee meeting). The Fall District 6 meeting is scheduled for October 29, 1999 in Dunn County. The CTH "A" Willow River Bridge pre - construction meeting is scheduled for 1:00 P.M. on August 11, 1999. King and Fedderly reviewed a CTH "C"/CTH "CC"/210th Avenue newspaper article. The safety enhancement/improvements recently made at that intersection were discussed. The group discussed several intersections in the county; CTH "UU" and USH 12 traffic congestion, and USH 63 and USH 12 traffic congestion. Fedderly reviewed the "incident management" process and database being developed by the Highway Department at this time. CTH "UU" Project Status: Fedderly reviewed the background and history of the CTH "UU" project in Hudson from Jacobs Lane to Wisconsin Street. The group discussed needs, safety, statutory responsibilities and obligations, fairness, consistency, and funding. Statutorily, the county is only responsible for the center 22' of any county highway that lies within city or village limits until the municipality takes jurisdiction over the entire highway. This rule has been applied by the Transportation Committee consistently throughout the county. CTH "UU" in this area is in need of an overlay next year. If the City of Hudson desires to address the roadway in a broader scope at the same time, a definitive project scope and costs are needed from the city so the Transportation Committee can negotiate cost participation issues with the city. If the City of Hudson has no desire to address their portion of the roadway next year, then a typical county trunk system overlay will be scheduled for year 2000. Bieraugel will check with the City of Hudson and more discussions may be able to take place at the September 8, 1999 scheduled meeting. Review Gravel Pit Land Negotiations: Fedderly noted that Daniel Casey is investigating a few alternatives and has not received word from him yet. Review CTH "CC" "No Parking" Signage Request: King noted that the Town of Star Prairie has not requested "No Parking" signs yet. The speedway needs to submit the request and pay for the signs. The Town of Star Prairie Chairman has requested that the Sheriff's Department patrol and ticket all vehicles parked on the shoulder of the road during the next speedway event. UNOFFICIAL ST. CROIX COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MINUTES Page 3 August 5, 1999 Fedderly will speak with the Sheriff's Department regarding illegal pedestrian activity on the CTH "CC" bridge as well as other enforcement issues that have come up. Review Salt and Chloride Request for Proposals: Fedderly and Schofield handed out and reviewed the salt and chloride proposals ready to be sent out for August 12, 1999 opening. The proposals indicate 2,750 ton of salt with an 80% purchase guarantee by the county and a 120% availability guarantee by the vendor. Review Preliminary 2000 Budget: Fedderly reviewed preliminary bottom line figures for the 2000 budget. Concrete figures need to be received from various sources to determine any solid budget numbers. The federal -aid urban, federal -aid rural, and bridge -aids all have an 800/20o impact on the Highway Department budget. In an effort to keep the overall Highway Department budget in -line and the county commitment consistent. The anticipated overall increase would only reflect possible increased cost of service at the same level of service. Closed session for reviewing employee compensation strategies: A motion was made by King, seconded by Jacobson, to remove the closed session from the agenda. Motion carried. Other Business: The Committee viewed various projects in progress. Adjournment: A motion was made by Jacobson, seconded by Grant, to adjourn at 2:35 P.M. Motion carried. -------------------------------- SECRETARY MINUTES OF THE ST.
