Corinne Santoso

“I’m a native of Onalaska, Wisconsin. I graduated from Onalaska and attended UWL in Speech Theater. The purpose of my presentation today, my objective is to promote some of the community enrichment in the up and coming waterfront project in theater arts. I have had the experience and opportunity from previous places of employment such as Anoka Hennepin Community up North and the Cities for 3 years to have worked in theatrical projects, to have directed school aged children, and also adults as well in the area of foreign language and French. And I’d like to propose the possibility of this up and coming waterfront project from the previous presentation that I had attended tonight; a possibility of seeing some enrichment classes expand – not only in the school district-wide summer program, which I also took part of in co-directing, but as well with other age groups and various people of diversity – some people have potentially learning disabilities and what not. I’d like to see this taking place with the up and coming waterfront project as well as some possibilities to see community action taking place in let’s say the projected shelter that’s up and coming in the waterfront project that there would be maybe open air theater, this type of thing. And I understand that there are a lot of funds that are available through King Streets Fund, Wisconsin Fund, and Theater for Humanities – that kind of grant project. So I just leave it open to the council to possibly consider me if something like this were to be up and coming and to potentially be a part of the up and coming focus group in regards to this.”

Judy Rockwood

“I’d like to just propose support for the Eagle Bluff Project - the reconsideration of the TIF. As a local business owner and a citizen of Onalaska, I would like to support this project. The project would not only create upwards of 200 permanent jobs, it will also be a major boost to the construction industry. It will add a tremendous amount to the local tax base both directly and indirectly through increased traffic to the surrounding businesses. It’s hard to overstate the importance of the high visibility of this parcel from I-90. A well planned, integrated, aesthetic appearance of this large scale development will draw many local and out of town visitors. In the case of my business, Rockwood Gardens and Floral, I expect to be in a position to hire at least 5 new employees and with long term growth, I will be able to add many more. I am concerned that, if this project does not go forward, the 12 acres in question may well be subdivided into a hodge podge collection of unrelated businesses that will have no aesthetic continuity, reducing the draw of the whole area. Perhaps even more important, traffic flow would be a major concern if we add many new driveways off of Theater Road, which is already heavily strained. With the scale of an orderly flow through a fully integrated design and given the proven track record of the developer, the proposed project represents, in my opinion, a golden opportunity for the city and its residents. Thank you.”

“We’ve been in business here in the City of Onalaska for almost 30 years and I’m in favor of this development for one main reason – in construction right now, if people are aware, it’s a slow industry. We could use promising, future business outside of government. It’s a private development, and I think there are positive things to be seen here. With the current economy, we need some of this local support for good business, so I think it’s a good thing for everybody here.”

Ward Kyle

“I would like to commend both of the candidates for mayor and to congratulate Mike. I feel that the city is very fortunate that both of you are still involved in the city with Bob, you still being on the council. I’d like to thank you, Jim, for your leadership and service to the city, and I know the city will remember you for a long time. I can say this – I really hope to see you involved in public affairs soon. Thank you.”

Dave Fersoni

“I would be the masonry contractor on the Eagle Bluff, on the Theater Road project. I want to let you guys know that there would be a couple of different reasons why this would be good for the economy. I would have to hire 25 local men from the local area for approximately 18 months to do this work. That would be for their families, for themselves, and for the local businesses around as they would be going to lunch and different things like that. This would benefit the local economy – the men take pride in what they do and they would certainly patronize the businesses that they are building. On a personal level, my family would patronize the area businesses that would be in that area as taking pride in building projects of my own. I just think that would be an awesome idea for this development to go forward and for you to consider this. Thank you.”

Dale Walter

“I’m a local commercial banker in the area, and I wanted to speak in favor of the project – both as a resident and as a business person – primarily because we get to see developers throughout this 60-mile radius and how important it is for people to actually take a risk and stand up and make things happen and how difficult that is – put their equity behind it. I know there has been a lot of discussion about the use of the TIF financing, and frankly, we see a lot of that in other communities, and it’s very appropriate to use that as a spring board to make a development happen in a community like Onalaska. It just doesn’t happen itself – I mean these private developers need some incentive to make things happen in the area, and over time that creates not only the jobs, but a substantial amount of tax base for the area, so I think it’s critical to support this and hope that council agrees that it’s a critical project for the city.”

Mayor Bialecki called three times for anyone else wishing to address the council.

Item 5 - REPORT FROM THE MAYOR.

A. Mayor’s Farewell.

Mayor Bialecki said farewell, “I’m going to say it this way that I think you best judge a person publicly on how long they take to speak, and so I’m going to keep this somewhat short. And I would have to say going back over the years, who would have known in April of 1985 that the city, and for that matter, this region, would have become what it has. As I recall in the 80’s, you could sense the city was going somewhere, and we really thought we were 20 years ago. We built the brand new library that was going to last forever. We had a nice swimming pool. Coach Light Greens was our first major subdivision. We also had Cub Foods and Valley View Mall and nothing else on Highway 16, so obviously through the years there has been a lot of incredibly good things going on in the city. You learn a lot. I’ve been told a long time ago by other people that have done this for a long time to keep your mouth shut and your ears open and you’ll learn a lot, and how right they were. I would have to say that coming this far forward, it’s been an honor for me to become involved with the city and it’s been a commitment, but an honor seeing the results that are there.

I look at what’s here right now, where we’ve gone. The city in recent years has replaced practically all of its buildings – the swimming pool, City Hall, City Shop, expanded the Omni Center, the Library is about to take off. The only one we’ve missed on so far is the Tourism Building, and that we’re going to do because we want to redo the downtown project along with the Department of Transportation’s expansion to Highway 35. In addition to that I think our commercial as well as residential growth has been incredible and it speaks well for the community. I think a lot of this has to do with the quality of life that people see here. The current features on the Highway 16 corridor and the I-System being right near by and the fact that our fiber optics out there are some of the most current in the country at this time has had a lot to do with it.

So I’d also like to acknowledge that it’s been my pleasure to work with a lot of people, both publicly elected, publicly appointed, as well as citizen groups over those years. We’ve had a lot of interesting conversations and discussions. Some things have been good – some have not. I was asked a question earlier - Have there ever been any frustrating moments? And my first question back to that party was - When did you move here – 1991. And I’m thinking when I look at former Mayor Stellner and former Mayor Osterhout who is out in the audience – two mayoral candidates – there were a lot more controversial days with dog parks, water parks, crystal ball shops, but I think they weathered them all, and the right answers came out – we are where we are today.

I want to say that I’m also very happy that the City’s infrastructure and traditional Onalaska, I believe that 90% of that has been completed in recent years, and a real test to the recommendations brought from the public as well as professional staff here was last August when we had 7 inches of rain – that system held real well when it seems a lot of our neighbors had issues with floods, so I believe, in my opinion, it’s time for me to move on. I’ll also compliment Mike and Bob for their mayor’s race. It was certainly a good campaign and come next Tuesday night, I’m going to hand Mike the deed and the keys to the glass house. Good luck!

B. Reconsideration of the Eagle Bluff Centre Tax Incremental Financing District Proposal.

Mayor Bialecki reminded that if this is approved tonight, it does not fully approve the project, but rather will move the project on to the Joint Review Board which will consist of a member from the County, School District, a Citizen at large, as well as the city, and the other taxing authorities will consider the proposal as to whether they want to proceed with this or not.

Mayor Bialecki explained, “I believe that everyone has been given documentation last week on the project. If you’ll note, this is different than before because it’s not asking the city to finance this project – it’s developer financed, pay as you go, which certainly puts a different spin on it. I will point out in Item #7 in reading the calculations, it suggests that on the long haul in the term it might be up to 14 years to repay this – you might want to make that 16 years. The mil rate projections used over the years will have inflationary issues that will slant that differently and so the right years could be up to 16 years.

The other thing I’ll point out is there are a couple of lynch pins in here that usually make a development go. I’ll give some examples of Onalaska’s recent history. We saw Gundersen Lutheran expand their site. We saw Walmart come in. We saw Franciscan Mayo and usually when you have anchors like that come in, others will follow. Take the Walmart site right now where they’re located and all the business that came into that area. The same thought could happen here too, and that if you look at the proposed facilities there right now, to me the bigs in that are the hotel complex as well as a medical office building. Those types of entities and the activities going on there will certainly generate more traffic in the area and then along with a tall screen theater.”

Mayor Bialecki asked Jason if this would qualify them for a $750,000 grant from the Department of Commerce.

Jason agreed that there are monies available from the Community Development Block Grant for job creation which is $10,000 per job created.

Mayor Bialecki also noted that if this does go through that the City would consider signalizing that intersection.

Ald. Giese indicated that he would make a motion so the opportunity for discussion of this is not lost.

Motion by Ald. Giese to approve the reconsideration of the Eagle Bluff Centre Tax Incremental Financing District Proposal.

There being no second, the motion failed.

C. Proclamation for Municipal Clerks week, May 4 – 10, 2008.

Motion by Ald. Stellner, second by Ald. Smith, to approve the Proclamation for Municipal Clerk’s Week, May 4 – 10, 2008.

Under discussion, Mayor Bialecki, said, “I think it’s a good ordinance. I think you have been an extremely good clerk to us as are a lot of the other department heads, and so it’s an honor to give this as a last proclamation.”

Council members also thanked City Clerk Cari Burmaster for her service to the city.

On voice vote, motion carried.

Ald. Stellner reported this item is being moved to the City Council without a recommendation pending a review by the city attorney to consider the liability aspect.

Ald. Stellner referred this item to City Engineer Jarrod Holter for a report.

Jarrod reported that he did discuss this with the city attorney and this would be allowable with a street privilege permit that the city attorney would assist in drafting. Jarrod indicated that he reviewed where the sculpture would go with the pump house representative and it was decided that the sculpture would mainly be on Sue Kolve’s private property.
