Item 3 - PUBLIC INPUT: (limited to 3 minutes/individual)
Mayor Bialecki turned the agenda item over to anyone wishing to provide
input.
George Osterhout, 289 Walnut Drive, Onalaska, addressed the Common
Council. Mr. Osterhout said, “I’m here
tonight to address the item on the Planning Commission portion of the meeting
for the sports bar. I’ve been to some of the Planning Commission meetings and
subcommittee and spoke there.
“I am not real thrilled with the idea of that
going in over there on Highway 16. I live in the group of homes across the
highway. There’s 16 homes in there. More than half of the people that are in
there have lived there in excess of 30 years so you can guess that most of them
are not as young as I am.
“We have a hard time now getting out on the
highway because of the amount of traffic and that. You put a large number of
cars that’s going to go to this type of business with the ingestion of alcohol
and one thing and another I think we’re looking for trouble out there.’
“It’s just not the kind of business we have out
there now. I think in order to develop the residential area out there you would
be making a mistake to do this because it’s going to get harder and harder to
get out on that highway. And to have a large business like this with the
problems that sometimes these businesses bring would kind of slow up the
development of the homes in the area.
“We’ve only got a couple lots left in the
business park there. And the businesses that are out there now are great
businesses. I don’t think we have any major complaints with anything they do
over there and we’d like to see that stay the way it is and not get the kind of
problems that a really active bar like a sports bar would bring to the area…
“I think I’ve expressed myself at all the
meetings that I’ve talked at. I’ve talked to each of the aldermen and the
mayor. I’m speaking for a lot of the older residents who can’t get out after
dark. They have trouble walking and missing the cracks in the sidewalks, some
of them…
“I did bring in a number of letters, which were
copied and should have been distributed to all of you that people that were in
opposition to this. I think there was five or six letters there.
“Thank you very much for listening”.
Mayor Bialecki called again for anyone wishing to address the Common
Council.
Brad Johnson, 5110 Grandwood Place, La Crosse. Mr. Johnson said, “I’m the
owner of the land right next to the proposed sports bar. As the land currently
is, I’m the only business that would be currently affected by it.
“I share George’s
opinions on the traffic problems. They’ve talked about a light up the right.
Realistically I’m hearing that at the best point it would be five years down
the road. That’s four and a half, five, years of accidents and people being
injured.
“The secondary issue is
parking. If you go by most any restaurant in and around our city, La Crosse,
overflow parking is a problem. And, when it’s a shared lot in a strip mall or
an open commercial area it’s not as big of a problem. In this area where it’s
independent businesses, overflow becomes much more of a problem. The last thing
that I want to do is to have a nuisance business next to me where I’m towing
vehicles for my customers that aren’t going to have places to park.
“Features Restaurant in West Salem has
approximately – talking to the owner – 7,100 square feet. They have 140 parking
spaces on site, 20 on their frontage road, and they lease an additional 30 from
a bank. Ciatti’s Restaurant, which is 4,700 square feet, they pay CAM, Common
Area Maintenance, for the mall area there on 135 spots. The size of this
proposed place at 16,000 square feet, with a proposed parking spots, if it is
successful, would create a nightmare. If it’s not a successful business, it won’t
be a problem. But, I think everyone that opens a business hopes it will be
successful. And to be able to operate and make that large of a building cash
flow, you’ve got to be turning people and there’s got to be a lot of people
coming through there.
“Onalaska has done a good job of growth. They
haven’t pushed the envelope. They haven’t gotten to the point where they’re
accepting anything and everything for businesses. And, in this case I hope that
they take those different opinions and consider it.
“It may not fill up within six months or a year,
but within a short period of time that corridor will be full, and I hope it’s
with businesses that are appropriate for the area.
“Thank you”.
Mayor Bialecki called again for anyone wishing to address the Common
Council.
Tony Torgerud, 517 14th
Avenue North, Onalaska. Mr. Torgerud said, “My family is obviously looking to
put this restaurant together, and entertainment complex.
“(The) size of it, as we’ve all heard, I
relatively large, but it’s because of the entertainment aspect that’s inside of
it – it’s required. We’re looking at multiple stock car simulators and golf and
hockey, basketball, baseball-type simulators inside this facility, which take
up a lot of square feet, and some party rooms, which require a decent amount of
square feet. So, the actual restaurant size, or capacity, is shrunk down by – I
guess the actual restaurant size is around 6,000 square feet, instead of
16,000. So, it’s not a whole lot bigger necessarily than Features inside of it,
except for the fact that it has some extra rooms off to the sides of it and
holding on to the entertainment aspect of it to give a family entertainment
venue, which this area really needs. There is just nothing here for families to
go out and do, enjoy. It’s not going to be a place that’s catering to drunken
brawls. That’s not what we’re building. You don’t build a $2 million building
to house something that’s going to create all kinds of havoc for the
neighborhood. That’s not what the goal is.
“We want to have a successful business on a
platform that is family oriented. I come from a family of nine kids and nothing
is more important to our family than family. So, we want to cater to business
professionals and families and make a place that they can go outside of Chuck
E. Cheese”.
Mayor Bialecki called twice more for anyone wishing to address the Common
Council. Hearing none, Mayor Bialecki continued on with the printed agenda.
Item 4 - REPORT FROM THE MAYOR.
A. Appointment to the Library Commission – Tom Smith, 1502 East Avenue North.
Motion by Ald. Wulf, second by Ald. Olson, to accept the Mayor’s
recommendation to appoint Tom Smith to the Library Commission. On voice vote,
motion carried.
B. Update on Onalaska/La Crosse Joint Cooperative Commission.
Mayor Bialecki reported that the group met in January. Officials from
West Salem and Holmen were in attendance. It was agreed that the group would
meet again in April 2006 to consider Metro Policing.
Mayor Bialecki reported that the Joint Cooperative Commission would meet
on Thursday, March 30, 2006 at the La Crosse City Hall for the purpose of
reevaluating the agreement with the Industrial Park, and also to discuss the
Water Service Area agreement.
Mayor Bialecki noted that the La Crosse City Hall would prepare the
meeting agenda. Mayor Bialecki stated that he would copy the Common Council
members on that agenda.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVAL
AND/OR POSSIBLE ACTION FROM THE FOLLOWING COMMITTEES/COMMISSIONS/BOARDS:
Noting that John and Sophia Staut were in attendance at this meeting with
an interest in Agenda Item 15B, and noting that Mr. & Mrs. Staut had
another meeting to attend, Mayor Bialecki recommended addressing that item
next. There was no objection.
Item 15 – TOURISM COMMISSION:
B - Advertising/Marketing opportunity – mayor.tv.com.
Mayor Bialecki noted that John & Sophia Staut were representing
Centering Onalaska. Mayor Bialecki reported that mayor.tv.com is offering a
promotional opportunity to the City that would be at no cost to taxpayers.
Mayor Bialecki reported that part of the mayor.tv.com opportunity is a
banner program. Mayor Bialecki noted the Centering Onalaska currently is
working on a banner program. Mayor
Bialecki said, “I just want to make sure that if we move forward, we’re not
colliding with your group’s efforts”.
Mayor Bialecki recognized Land Use & Development Director Jason
Gilman.
Jason explained that those in attendance would view a presentation from
the mayor.tv.com server. Mayor.tv.com provides video productions that promote
economic development. The videos would be linked from the City’s website, but
run off of the mayor.tv.com server.
Jason presented an example video from Neenah, Wisconsin.
Jason reported that the productions are paid for by banners that are
sponsored by businesses. The business
has a small space at the bottom of each banner. Mayor.tv.com enters into an agreement with participating
communities that addresses the number of banners and the placement of the
banners.
Mayor Bialecki reported that this item had been presented to the Tourism
Commission and comes forward without recommendation pending consideration by
Centering Onalaska.
In response to a question from Ald. Giese, Jason reported that the
banners are not Internet banner ads, but rather physical banners that are hung
from the light poles within the community.
Mayor Bialecki noted that businesses that sponsor the banners also are
included on the corresponding city’s website.
In response to a question from Ald. Gonczy, Jason reported that mayor.tv.com
would not change the City’s website, but would include a link to the
mayor.tv.com site.
In response to a question from Ald. Gonczy, Mayor Bialecki reported that
mayor.tv.com handles the banner sales.
In response to a question from Ald. Gonczy, Mayor Bialecki reported that
mayor.tv.com does not require a retainer and if no banners are sold, there
still would be no cost to the City.
In response to a question from Ald. Giese, Mayor Bialecki reported that
the banners would be installed on City light poles at no cost to the City.
Mayor Bialecki reported that the City of La Crosse plans to contract with
mayor.tv.com
Mayor Bialecki recognized John Staut, President Centering Onalaska.
Mr. Staut said, “The brief (video) that we saw here certainly fits into
our mission, which is to promote and build pride and participation in the City.
It seems like there’s an advantage here, that we have another avenue to promote
Onalaska.
“The nature of the banners, I’m not sure, we have
been instrumental for the last eight years or so providing the banners. Raising
the funds for those is not exactly fun, but it’s part of what we do. And, we
try and make our banners unique to the area.
“Joyce Diveley couldn’t be here tonight, but she
said she did go to the website and took a look at the offerings. We’d like to
participate at least in the decision-making process to pursue that. Her terms
were, ‘The banners seemed a little plain-o, compared to some of the stuff that
we’ve been putting up seasonally’. That’s not an objection because we always
need to look at alternatives for doing what we’re trying to do. This seems like
a viable alternative to accomplish several things. So, we would at least
support moving forward to look into whatever commitments we would make as an
organization or as a city and go from there.
“We’re not objecting to anything. It just seems
to be another avenue that we can use to promote our city”.
In response to a question from Ald. Gonczy, Jason stated that it is his
understanding that the City would have rights of final approval on all video
and web content and banners.
Jason reported that the mayor.tv.com web address is www .elocallink.com
In response to a question from Ald. Gonczy, Jason stated that he has not
checked on which Google page the link would appear.
Motion by Ald. Gonczy, second by Ald. Giese, to move forward with the
mayor.tv.com program proposal, contingent upon a final plan being approved by
the Common Council, with the understanding that participation in the program
will be at no cost to the City of Onalaska, and with the understanding that
Centering Onalaska shall be involved in the process. On voice vote, motion
carried.
Item 6 – FINANCE COMMITTEE:
A.
Resolution 16-2006 – Resolution Authorizing the Sale of $3,105,000
General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds.
Ald. Smith recognized Mark Slesar of Robert W. Baird.
Mr. Slesar referred to copies of
the Financing Summary for the bonds addressed in Agenda Items 6A and 6B.
Mr. Slesar noted that the Water Bonds (Agenda Item 6B) originally were
approved for $3,650,000 but because of lower interest rates, the actual bond
amount would be $3,640,000.
Mr. Slesar said, “The good news is, the financing results were better
than what we had previously shown you by a lot”.
Mr. Slesar reviewed the report:
-
The competitive
bids were taken at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 14, 2006.
-
Griffen, Kubick,
Stephens & Thompson won the bid with a bid of 4.12% overall interest rate.

-
Annual Debt Service

-
Total Debt Service
will be approximately $170,000 less than originally estimated.

Mayor Bialecki noted that the debt retirement is based on a 3.5% growth
rate for the City. Approximately 5%
growth is anticipated for 2006.
Jason noted that a 3% growth rate has been the average over the past 20
years.
-
Moody’s Report:
-
General Obligation
Bonds = rated A-1 with a positive outlook.
-
Water Revenue Bond
= rated A-3. Revenue bonds typically
are two grades below the General Obligation Bonds rating.
Ald. Giese asked how the A-1 and A-3 ratings for the City of Onalaska
compare to other comparable cities in the State of Wisconsin.
Mr. Slesar responded, “Very favorable and Moody’s has maintained the
positive outlook. We were hoping we would get upgraded. It didn’t happen this
time. Hopefully it will happen next time”.
Mayor Bialecki said, “In our conversations with Moody’s in the follow up
and of course with Brad Viegut, Moody’s is not changing anything in the State
of Wisconsin because of present conditions in Madison with freezes and the
unknown future. I think that has influenced that a lot because we were looking
to get upgraded this year”.
Mr. Slesar stated that is correct.
