Spring Safety Newsletter.

from Fern Bridge Gardens for the Highway Department's "Adopt -A -Highway"
display at their recent Hudson Earth Day Celebration; and a Stillwater
Bridge status letter from Al Steiger of F.H.W.A.; and a response letter
to F.H.W.A. from the department.
Discuss New Somerset Shop: Fedderly handed out and discussed reports
regarding the computerized model of all the Highway Department's road
maintenance routes completed a few years ago. The reports detail the
level of service and efficiencies for county, state, and local routes
that the Highway Department serves.
Growth factors, road construction changes, traffic counts, response
times, etc. were considered in the plan as a basis in determining shop
location alternatives, equipment needs, and staffing needs for the
future. The study shows that the Somerset shop alternative meets all
response time criteria in the model while at the same time merging two
shops into one.

Review Gravel Pit Land Negotiations: Fedderly reviewed his discussions
with Ralph Olson regarding the purchase price of his gravel pit. Mr. &
Mrs. Olson offered to sell the 120 acres including buildings for
$350,000.00. After considerable discussions, a motion was made by

acres allowing the Olsons to live in the house rent free for up to two
years while their new house is built. Motion carried.
Review "1998 Reports of Financial Operations": Ramberg and Fedderly
summarized the "bottom line" of the 1998 Highway Department's financial
activities.

interests with improvements to CTH "UU" within the city.
Review and Discuss WisDOT D.M.A. Contracts: Fedderly reviewed two
Discretionary Maintenance Agreement (D.M.A.) contracts drawn up by
WisDOT for I-94 culvert liner installations and various asphalt
overlays needed in 1999.
These contracts are for special work on strategically located projects,
which are not included in the Routine Maintenance Agreements (R.M.A.)
previously approved. A motion was made by Dowd, seconded by King, to
approve the WisDOT D.M.A. contracts and authorize Fedderly to sign the
three copies of each on behalf of the Committee. Motion carried.

$25,000.00 worth of Hazardous Elimination Funds (HEF) at the CTH

was made by Larson, seconded by Jacobson, to approve and sign the
$25,000.00 CTH "C"/CTH "CC" intersection HEF contract. Motion carried.
Review and Approve WisDOT Budget Resolution: Fedderly handed out and
reviewed a WisDOT Budget Resolution draft drawn up by WCHA Board of
Directors. The resolution notes that the local road funding increase
is disproportional to the state road funding increase in the state
budget. A motion was made by King, seconded by Dowd, to support WCHA
WisDOT Budget Resolution. Motion carried.
Review and Approve State Trunk Highway Plan Resolution: Fedderly
reviewed and handed out a WCHA Board of Directors resolution regarding
the WisDOT State Trunk Highway Plan.
The resolution notes that this WisDOT 20 year highway improvement plan
is a good long range planning tool, BUT it reflects a FOUR BILLION
DOLLAR shortfall in funding for the projects involved and does not
address LOCAL HIGHWAYS. The resolution calls for more local road
recognition and a plan that is more comprehensive in nature.
A motion was made by Dowd, seconded by Jacobson, to support the WCHA
State Trunk Highway Plan Resolution. Motion carried.
