1 MINUTES - SHOREWOOD BOARD OF TRUSTEES Committee of the Whole Meeting November 19, Call to Order President Rozek called the Committee of the Whole meeting of the Village Board to order at 6:08 p.m. in the Court Room. 2. Statement of Public Notice Clerk Bruckman stated that the meeting had been posted and noticed according to law. 3. Roll Call President Rozek called the roll. Present: Trustees Davida Amenta, Tammy Bockhorst, Jessica Carpenter, Michael Maher, Ann McKaig and Wesley Warren. Others Present: Village Manager Rebecca Ewald, Assistant Village Manager Tyler Burkart, Finance Director/Treasurer Mark Emanuelson, Customer Service Director/Deputy Clerk Diane DeWindt-Hall. Guests: Dr. Bryan Davis, Shorewood School Superintendent; Dr. Paru Shah, Shorewood School Board President; Mr. Ted Knight, Chief Advancement Officer; Mr. Patrick Miller, Director of Business Services & Human Resources; and Ms. Michelle Weiberg, Financial Consultant, PMA Financial Network. 4. Presentation from Shorewood School District on proposed referendum. Dr. Davis outlined the scope of the presentation. Shorewood School Board President Dr. Paru Shah will provide the overview of the work leading up to this point; Mr. Patrick Miller will discuss the project schedule; Ms. Weiberg will discuss the impact on taxpayers. Dr. Shah shared highlights from the slide presentation (attached). She discussed the process over the past two (2) years leading up to the survey regarding the referendum, including researching the needs of the community, developing a plan, identifying priorities Maintenance, Safety & Security, ADA Compliance and Classroom/Support Areas, understanding costs, various community engagement activities and formulating the Facilities Advisory Community Team (FACT). The District is proposing to request, through referendum, support for $275,000/year for capital maintenance projects and support of $55 million for infrastructure for all four (4) school buildings. Once the results of the survey are tallied and reviewed, the School Board will have between January and April to determine whether a referendum will be placed on the ballot. Mr. Knight commented on the survey process. The initial mailing had missing households/residences. Those missing residences/households were identified and will be mailed a survey in early December and given three (3) weeks to respond. Mr. Miller discussed the schedule for projects IF the School District moves forward with the referendum and it is approved. Post-referendum schedule: Schematic designs (2-4 months); Design development (2-4 months); Construction documents (2-4 months). (The schedule is feasible because of the pre work that has been done over the last year.) After this the bids are let; the District will oversee this process with assistance of a construction manager. Construction is anticipated to be completed over a two-year 1

2 period, with the majority of the work being done in the summer months when school is not in session. Initial borrowing will start immediately, with other borrowings phased in as needed. Ms. Weiberg discussed the impact to tax payers. Not all options were included in the survey, however, there was a link in the survey to the full document. The tax impact was based on the difference after retiring some current debt payments. The Village Board had some concerns about the how long it would take to pay off this new debt (24 yrs.) and resident s strong desire to limit tax increases balanced against recognizing that our schools are a big reason people move to the community, the need to keep our schools strong and the need to keep living here affordable. Mr. Miller clarified that the $275,000/year for capital maintenance is a dedicated fund with fund balance carryover capability. Mr. Miller also noted that the District recognizes the importance of not replacing everything at once, specifically the roofs, and stated that only Atwater would have a complete roof replacement and that regular maintenance of the other roofs would continue. The Village Board inquired about the communication plan if the referendum moves forward; the $55M for all for buildings; the wording of the survey with regard to tax impact; construction management. District representatives responded that outreach to the community will be all encompassing; the majority of the $55M is infrastructure, technology and safety/security upgrades; was trying to keep the survey as clear and concise as possible; and the District will oversee the project with assistance from the construction manager. The final decision will ultimately be up to the community whether or not to go forward with the referendum. President Rozek opened the floor to public comment. Katherine (Katie) Casper, 4330 N Alpine - The survey did not address the impact to the mill rate if the referendum did not pass. What is the specific charge of the consulting firm the school district hired in conjunction with validating this referendum and what is the plan to clarify that to the general public? Ms. Weiberg agreed that taxes would go down if the referendum did not pass. Answering the second question, the survey was trying to get to one answer; the more information on a survey, the more confusing in general. There was a link in the survey to more data for additional information. With regard to the charge, there is no fee unless the referendum is successful. Point of clarification: the borrowing will be phased over a course of 5-years not two, based on need. Paul Zovic, 2504 E Newton - Commented on the Village s upcoming capital plan for sewer projects for the combined sewer area in the next few years. Wanted the District and Village to think about sequencing and scheduling all projects (school and village) to help minimize the impact to taxpayers. Pat Wilson, 4451 N Ardmore - Acknowledged and appreciated the District s hard work in behalf of the children. However, it s difficult to understand from the survey whether the numbers are reasonable or not. As a percentage of total budget, what is normal to be paying for debt load? Noted the increase from $1.4M to $4.5M in the school s debt load over the past few years. Ms. Weiberg noted that about 20% of the total levy is for debt service, which puts Shorewood in the middle of K-12 schools in Milwaukee County. The debt service levy will not change much with the referendum for $55M because we are currently prepaying debt now. Katy Casper, 4330 N Alpine - What sort of accountability is in place for this sum money once the referendum is approved? In other words, who is managing the funds; being held to budget and making sure it is used to pay for the things it s supposed to? The additional amount being raised in the referendum for maintenance is to be exclusively used for maintenance, what prevents the school district from reducing the regular maintenance budget?

3 Ms. Weiberg IRS regulations would make sure the funds are spent correctly because you are using tax exempt debt as such they have stringent rules that you are spending them on the public purpose specified at referendum as well as bond counsel who scripts the question for the referendum on the ballot that only those projects are being paid for. If there are borrowed funds remaining from a project for whatever reason, Ms. Weiberg noted that these funds could not be used for projects other than those public purposes referenced in the approved referendum. You could use it for a different improvement as long as it was covered in the approved referendum or you can start prepaying the loan as well. Internal audit functions are built into the process. Mr. Miller acknowledged that the $275,000 is big ticket capital projects usually summer projects. The $480,000 budgeted for maintenance is day-to-day issues broken toilets, lawn care, painting. The $275,000 is to allow the District to do capital maintenance that will prevent higher expenses in the future, i.e. tuck pointing versus chimney replacement. 5. Tr. McKaig moved, seconded by Tr. Maher to adjourn the meeting at 7:35 p.m. Motion passed 5-2 with President Rozek and Tr. Amenta voting nay.

Consider Ordinance 2096 to amend regulation of solar energy systems. Mr. Griepentrog presented his memo: the Plan Commission has recommended approval of the proposed ordinance. The proposed ordinance amendment would split the review of wind energy systems and solar energy systems into two code sections. The corresponding definitions would be relocated to Article II of the Zoning Chapter alongside all other definitions. Wind energy systems would be maintained as a conditional use in all districts, subject to review and approval of the Plan Commission with a public hearing. Solar energy systems would be maintained as a conditional use as well, but the authority to review and approve would be granted to the Planning and Development Department upon notice to adjacent property owners and review of the authority to restrict such items, as specified within the code, as follows. Wisconsin statutes dictate that any restriction or alteration (such as a change of location of solar panels) that the Village would impose on a solar energy system must conform to one of the following three conditions:

7 a. Serves to preserve or protect the public health or safety. b. Does not significantly increase the cost of the system or significantly decrease its efficiency. c. Allows for an alternative system of comparable cost and efficiency. Village Board discussion ensued on potentially waiving the fee in the future. Tr. Maher moved, seconded by Tr. Bockhorst to approve Ordinance 2096 to amend regulation of solar energy systems. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. g. Consider Ordinance 2097 to amend regulation of loading zones. Mr. Griepentrog explained his memo: this would rescind the two current approval processes and allow loading zones to be approved by a special privilege permit on an annual basis subject to a fee as noted in the fee schedule. Mr. Griepentrog clarified it will come to the Village Board for annual approval. The Village Board discussed not implementing the fee to the library or school district. Tr. Maher moved, seconded by Tr. Carpenter to approve Ordinance 2097 to amend regulation of loading zones effective May 1, 2019 and an amendment to 50-24(d) that no permit shall be issued unless a fee is paid to the Village Clerk in accordance with the Village Fee Schedule and the fee is waived for governmental entities. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. h. Fee Schedule updates 1. Consider Resolution update fee schedule for the drop-off service charges for general disposal, electronic devices and other DPW fees. Ms. Butschlick requested to strike the $20 for appliances as our contractor does not charge the Village to dispose of them. Tr. Amenta moved, seconded by Tr. Warren to approve Resolution update fee schedule for the drop-off service charges for general disposal, electronic devices and other DPW fees and to strike the fee for appliances a $20 charge. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. 2. Consider Resolution update fee schedule for Engineering/Staff review fees, special privilege permits fees related to loading zones and parklets, and other Planning Department fees. Tr. Maher moved, seconded by Tr. Amenta to approve Resolution update fee schedule for Engineering/Staff review fees, special privilege permits fees related to loading zones and parklets, and other Planning Department fees. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. Tr. Bockhorst was excused at 9:30 p.m. Tr. Bockhorst returned at 9:35 p.m. i. Update on funding levels for 2019 road related projects. *For general public knowledge, this portion of the minutes has been reinstated from the memo included in the Village Board packet dated 11/19/18 The Village Board was previously informed that the Wilson Drive construction costs were going to exceed bid contract amounts by $100,000 based on pay requests through 9/26/18 due to various construction factors with some potential cost savings that could lower the net impact of the overages down to $40,000 $50,000. Those overages are now expected to exceed $250,000 with about $100,000 of cost under runs, for a net project variance of about $150,000 more than the contract bid. Related to these overages, staff also indicated to the Village Board at the 10/1/18 meeting that there may be a need to consider reducing the amount of planned funding for the remaining

8 2019 roads related bonded projects, as any Wilson Drive project overages would reduce the amount of the remaining bond proceeds that would be available to fund the remaining 2019 roads projects. However, due to some additional analysis, staff no longer believes that this course of action will be necessary. First, not all of the cost overages for this project were roads relates, some of them were related to the stormwater components of the project. Secondly, when a project update schedule was recently sent to MMSD related to the anticipated eligible storm water management costs associated with the Village s pending request for Green Solutions funding, it became apparent that the original bonding project cost allocation for storm water related construction, did not include about $70,000 of the costs associated with the installation of the Bio filtration basins within the project area. The impact is that these items were therefore, by default, designated by the Finance Department as road related costs in the Village s original estimate of the bonded funding amounts that would be necessary for the road related portion of this project. As these materials are necessary to the function of this type of storm water infrastructure, it is appropriate they be included as storm water costs. To correct this issue, staff will re designate those costs as storm water related, as well as adjust for these items in the project cost sharing allocations between the roads and stormwater component costs. After making this adjustment staff believes that the final project cost allocations for the road related activities will now be within a relatively modest variance of the original bonding estimates. However, the inverse implication of this adjustment is that this will now create a funding shortfall within the sewer utilities funded portion of this project. Please see the attached fiscal note table and notation #3 for more information. While Sewer Utility reserves are sufficient to absorb this overage, it should be noted that the use of Sewer Utility reserves to cover this bonding shortfall may limit the utilities ability to cash fund other annual capital project costs in the future. j. Consider Resolution Milwaukee County All Hazards Plan adoption. Police Chief Nimmer presented his memo: this is an update to the previous Hazard Mitigation Plan that was adopted by the Village of Shorewood in The adoption of this plan does not obligate Shorewood to complete or initiate any mitigation projects; however, it does allow Shorewood to be eligible to apply for FEMA mitigation grant funds for the next 5 years if desired or needed. Tr. Maher moved, seconded by Tr. Bockhorst to approve Resolution Milwaukee County All Hazards Plan adoption. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. 10. Reports of Village Officials a. Village President updated everyone that the Menorah will be present at the tree lighting and Milwaukee County Transit has a bus app individuals can use for bus information. b. Village Trustees - Trustee Amenta updated everyone that the BID agreed to set space aside for a booth and the Jewish Day School is organizing volunteers for activities at the booth at the December 1 event. Trustee Maher updated everyone that the Shorewood Historical Society met on November 12, 2018, they were awarded a Shorewood Foundation Grant to enhance the Sheldon Research Room. c. Village Manager - None 11. Items for future consideration Tr. Maher requested the third quarter financial report at the December 3, 2018 meeting

9 Tr. Bockhorst and President Rozek were approached by the Wisconsin Normal group and discussed the decriminalization of marijuana. 12. Closed Session The Village Board will adjourn into closed session pursuant to 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchasing of public property regarding the Village fire station. Tr. Bockhorst moved, seconded by Tr. Maher to adjourn into closed session pursuant to 19.85(1)(e) to deliberate or negotiate the purchasing of public property regarding the Village fire station at 9:52 p.m. Motion carried 7 0 by a roll call vote. 13.

10 Shorewood School District Facilities Planning Process November 19, 2018

11 What is the purpose of the Facilities Planning initiative? The Facilities Planning process is intended to identify near-term and long-range needs for facility improvements within the Shorewood School District, and to implement a plan to address these needed improvements.

12 February 2016

13 November 2017 District Staff Led February 2016

14 Priorities We seek to improve our historic buildings by addressing: Capital Maintenance Safety and Security ADA Compliance Classrooms and Support Areas

15 November 2018 Board Led November 2017 District Staff Led February 2016

16 What is the role of the FACT? This group of community volunteers will review preliminary potential solutions and cost estimates and provide valuable, responsive feedback to the School Board about facilities projects that are most appropriate from the community s perspective.

17 POTENTIAL OPERATIONAL REFERENDUM QUESTION Funding Support for Ongoing and Annual Maintenance Despite ongoing budget challenges due to the current state funding formula, the District s top priority has remained constant: provide the best education possible for all students by ensuring adequate funding for programs and services. As a result, funding for ongoing facility updates (e.g., roof section replacement, flooring and finish updates, lighting improvements) and routine annual building maintenance (e.g., repairs, floor waxing, painting) has been limited. To adequately address the District s ongoing and annual maintenance needs and not negatively impact our high quality programming, an additional $275,000 per year is needed in funds statutorily restricted for facilities maintenance. Shorewood voters would have to approve an operational referendum to fund this increase. If voters support an operational referendum, the District will be able to address ongoing and annual maintenance. If voters do not support an operational referendum, the District will need to further postpone ongoing and annual maintenance projects or cut programming/staff to support these expenses.

18 POTENTIAL CAPITAL REFERENDUM QUESTION The Board identified a Base Plan to address the District s most critical infrastructure needs at all four schools. Base Plan: Critical Infrastructure Projects for All Schools Safety & Security Renovate main building entrances to improve safety and security and better control visitor access Replace exterior doors and locks Upgrade fire alarm and emergency lighting systems Estimated cost: $9.4 million Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Install wheelchair accessible ramps at main entrances Renovate restrooms Eliminate floor elevation changes Modify classroom doors and hardware Estimated cost: $9.6 million Building Infrastructure and Systems Upgrade/renovate classrooms and technology infrastructure Repair/replace ceilings, flooring, lighting and cabinetry Replace playground equipment and improve outdoor spaces Replace identified windows Repair building exteriors Upgrade heating, plumbing and electrical systems Improve stormwater management Estimated cost: $36 million

19 Elementary/Intermediate Academic Projects

22 High School Campus Academic Projects

23 Renovate Main Academic Building The building was built in 1924 and has had minor renovations over the years, with the most recent renovation completed in The project would: A Create a two-story addition to expand the library and Student Support Services space. B Create a main visitor entrance for the High School campus. C Renovate the existing building to address classroom size deficiencies, improve student resource space, update furniture and create small group and student collaboration spaces. Estimated cost: $9.6 million

24 Renovate/Expand Performing Arts Building The building was built in There have been no additions to this building, however it was repaired and renovated due to fire and water damage. The project would: A Create a commons/multipurpose space for student activities, large group instruction and community events. B Add band and choir classrooms with appropriate acoustics and storage. C Renovate/expand drama and music department rehearsal spaces. Estimated cost: $10.6 million

25 Renovate High School Art & Science Building and Create a Student Union The building was built in 1929 with a pool addition in 1975 and a science addition in The project would: A Create a central Student Union by expanding the lobby of the Art & Science/VHE Pool Building. B Create a 2nd floor connection between the Art & Science Building and the Main Academic Building and relocate food services to the new Student Union. (Note: The existing cafeteria/kitchen in the lower level of the Arena Building would be repurposed to create a fitness and multi-purpose space, which is not shown). C Renovate classrooms to address size deficiencies, improve special education spaces, update furniture and create small group and collaborative learning spaces. Estimated cost: $8.4 million

26 Funding Support for Operational and Capital Referenda

27 Given the cost, the work may need to be completed in phases, based on the priorities of the community and its willingness to financially support the projects. The following table shows the potential impact to the school portion of your local property taxes for the preliminary operating referendum AND capital referendum amounts. As mentioned, the District s existing levy for debt service is expected to drop in 2020 and the projected tax impacts below take that drop into account.
