Number six, comments from public limited
to items not on the agenda.
Please state your name and address, limited to five minutes.
Board's roll is to listen and not discuss.
Personnel issues cannot be discussed.
Board is not able to take action at this meeting.
I invited Mr. Metz to come to the meeting.
My name is Dennis Metz, I live at 1390 Fernando Drive,
De Pere, well De Pere, Wisconsin, but we're Ashwaubenon,
thank goodess, I guess.
About a year and a half ago, I approached the count board
with a petition asking that truck road be removed from
Fernando Drive because it's a residential area and with
Main Street changing hands
between the Village of Ashwaubenon,
the Main Street, West Main Street, De Pere, would eliminate
trucks going through a residential area which is
Fernando Drive, from Main Avenue to Packerland.
And the other day I got home and the wife says to me,
she says, "you notice a little more truck traffic?"
and I says, "well, no I haven't been home," and the results
were that there was a sign at one time in the
corner of West Main and Fernando Drive.
That sign is no longer there, the no truck sign.
I don't know what happened to it, but it was there,
if it wasn't removed intentionally, you know,
if a plow hit it or whatever, but it did
increase the truck traffic noticeably.
When we did do the signage, we had a reduction,
and I would say last summer, probably of about maybe 60%,
65% less truck traffic.
I understand that signs can only be a suggestion,
you can't enforce signs and you can enforce drivers to do
what they are going to do, but I have stopped drivers,
asked them why they're on a route that's clearly marked,
and they say it's not clearly marked.
Many of them are going by their GPS, which obviously
is not up-to-date, but I says, "besides your GPS you still
have to abide by the rules of the road."
Item number two: most of the truck traffic is going to the
south end of Packerland Drive to the warehouses that are
out in that area, that are out there, I don't know for sure
exactly what they all are but there's heavy
truck traffic going to those areas.
When they come back, and they're on northbound on
Packerland Drive, when they are waiting for
the light to change, if they intend to turn right,
once they've turned right, they're committed.
The No Truck Route sign is on a, I believe, a light pole,
probably 60 feet, 70 feet east of the inersection,
so if they turn, if they're looking at the lights and
they want to turn right, they're not gonna know that
that's not on truck route until they've
already committed themselves.
What I'm here to ask is for suggestions to go to a
Plan-B, would it be possible to put on the southeast
corner of Packerland Drive and Fernando Drive,
a no-truck route with an arrow pointing right so that
besides looking at the light changing,
they can see that the sign, obviously before
they have committed themselves, if that possibly
could be done to help the truck traffic.
It's not all on the drivers, I think part of it is probably
better signage, I don't know what it would cost the village,
but it's only a suggestion, you know, I'm not,
I did what I had to do, the residents backed me, well it
was a collective effort, obviously, but the area is becoming
younger and the reason for removing the truck traffic
was for safety purposes so if you have any questions,
and I do appreciate the committee's opportunity
to let me address you, thank you.
Mike if it's alright, Mr. Metz, if you want to give us
a call we can actually, we'll meet you out there
one of these days and we can see what works.
Okay, I did leave a phone message with
Mr. Vanderzel... Vander--
Vander Nelson
Vander Nelson
Yes, he's our street operations supervisor
Right, I left a message yesterday explaining
to him the situation, asked him to call me back,
and of course, I mean I'm sure he's a busy man, and I have
not heard from him yet.
Sure
So I would appreciate that and we can, you know,
we can look that over but the main thing is there's one
sign that's missing, that was there one time and the
fact that the other sign on the corner of
Fernando Drive and Packerland
is kind of like a "gotcha" sort of a thing.
You already turned right, oh well guess what, there's a sign
there now that I've already committed myself, now what
am I gonna do, so.
Yeah, and what we can do is if there's something
that you're seeing that would work out there then we can
take that--
I would appre-- I would--
Talk it over with the county 'cause Packerland's a county
roadway, we'd just have to get their blessing
on where we put signs.
Sure
Not a problem
Any help that you can give us would
be greatly appreciated, thank you.
So who do I want to call?
Okay. Thank you very much, any other questions?
Nope, that should do.
Alright.
Thanks for coming down.
Thank you, again.
You bet.
Agenda Item Seven: Action items, discussion
and possible action on a 2018 4-wheel drive
three-quarter ton pick-up with plow.
Alright, item before you tonight is in regards to the
possible purchase of a new three-quarter ton pick-up truck.
We solicited quotes from seven dealerships in the area
and received three quotes back.
Those are attached to the agenda here.
The low quote coming from Whit Family Ford
out in Polaski in the amount of $33,377.82.
That does include the plow package that comes with it.
The item to note is the budget item that we had for this was
$30,000 so the $33,000 does exceed the budget.
Couple things to consider, I guess, you know, I kinda
noted that in the green sheet, that we had a couple
dump trucks that came in under budget this last year
so there's some funds available in the replacement,
capital replacement fund, vehicle replacement fund.
The other option we could do is wait on the plow package
and purchase of the truck this year, so I just wanted to
bring that forward, get any, answer any questions or get
any feedback from the committee.
Are one of the trucks going to be sold?
Yes, this replaces a 2001 GMC river cab pick-up truck
so that's definitely seen its useful life.
So it may be a wash with the $3,000 over anticipated cost?
Yep, that vehicle will be sold on a public surplus
site, I would think we could get that amount for sure.
Okay.
Make motion that would approve the bid from
Whit Ford for $33,377.82.
Second that motion.
We have motion and a second to award the bid to
Whit Family Ford for $33,377.82.
All in favor?
[Many] Aye.
Aye. Motion carries. Mary.
Mike, I would just like to make a comment that,
you know, they're replacing a 2001 truck with a 2018.
Kudos to our public works guys for having a truck to use
for this for 17 years, that you know, our guys do a
great job and in the shop and out there in the big barn,
as I call it, so great guys out there.
And it's true, next to me
you have the oldest pick-up trucks.
(laughter)
That was good, thank you.
Now, any items for next agenda?
I've had two phone calls that I just wanna throw
out there, and I don't know if you wanna put it on a
village board agenda, or staff, or whatever,
I think they might be looking at it already,
one is the corner of Pioneer and
Ponderosa, for stop signs there and the second one is
the signs that we put on Cormier Road for crossing for
pedestrians we've got a request to put one on Shady Lane
where Sherwood Forest is there where they go from
side to side across Shady and I don't know if any
of you know of that so, I think I did talk to Allison
about that as well, so.
Okay
That was a request by a former Ashwaubenon police officer.
Okay. Do we want it on the agenda?
Well I just wanted--
Or is that gonna go to the board, regardless?
I don't know.
What we can do is look into it and get a cost and
typically on those requests we bring them through at
budget time to be discussed.
Okay.
So if that's alright we'll put that one on and you'll
see it at budget time then.
Okay, sure. Okay.
Adjournment.
Make a motion to adjourn.
We have a motion to adjourn, do we have a second?
Second
We have motion and a second. All in favor?
Aye.
Aye. Motion carries. We stand adjourned.
