C-9
Discussion of Snow Plow Operations.
A public hearing was held.
• David Bogdala, 7101 96th Avenue, Alderman of the 17th District, said the
committee should be looking at snow plow operations as a whole right now and
there needs to be several corrections to the operation. Ring Road should not be
a priority road. The plow map has huge deficiencies when it comes to newer
subdivisions. The grid areas of the city are easier to clear than subdivisions. He
doesn't feel that the city is taking care of all citizens the same and plowing is not
being done equitably. He showed the committee a screen print of the GPS
system showing areas that are being completely neglected. He would like a
budget review because the committee needs to know where we are at, he was
told that budget information is not available.
The public hearing was closed.
• Alderman Bostrom said he appreciates staffs efforts. He looked at the GPS
system during the 2/26/13 snow event and only saw two trucks east of Hwy 31.
He feels that this issue should be tackled now.
• Alderman Ruffolo said he has had issues on the north side of town. He has had
to call John Prijic in the past after citizen complaints. He said the plow map has
not been updated with newer neighborhoods (20 years or less). During last
weeks storm he saw the downtown area was cleared with streets in other areas
not touched.
• Alderman Michalski said there is a hierarchy to the operation and he takes issue
with those saying that everything east of Green Bay Road gets done first.
It was then moved by Alderman Michalski, seconded by Alderman Gordon to open the
public hearing back up. Motion passed 5-0.
• Alderman Bogdala said full residential plow runs after four inches of snow has
fallen is a problem. He feels it should be two inches because cars on snow
routes get ticketed after two inches has fallen but the street is not plowed.
Smaller snow storms can cause hard pack snow on streets that then cannot be
navigated. He would like to see the four inch rule change. When smaller snow
storms within a few days accumulate four inches a plow run should be done.
Make sure the right equipment is in the right place ie cul-de-sac or curve areas
should have loaders in those areas.
• Mayor Bosman said safety is job one during plowing operations. The streets are
done according to the manual but may not be done to residents expectations.
The city is covered equally during plow runs. Since January 1, 2013 the city has
had 36 inches of snow fall and we still have November and December to get
through. The committee can change the plowing operations but there will be a
cost to do so.
The public hearing was closed.
• Alderman Ruffolo said it seems like cars are not being towed like they used to
during snow events. He feels the wrong equipment is being used on main roads
that should be used in neighborhoods with narrow streets.
• Alderman Haugaard said some routes may have an inequitable balance. He
asked John Prijic what can be done now. John said he is willing to do anything
the committee would like but with the equipment the city has, it takes 16 hours to
plow every street one time. The last plow run took 50 hours straight, the average
is 36 hours. John said there is a problem with citizens and contractors blowing
snow into the street. The police department cannot do anything about that
unless they catch the person in the act. He also said the police department is in
charge of towing not plowing staff. He advised the committee that the reason for
alternate side parking is with so many stop signs and hills having to be salted,
the plows have to be able to get down the street. John also provided the
committee with some costs, salt runs cost $22,000/run and plow runs cost
$92,000/run. Alderman Haugaard then asked staff how to be more effective.
Mike Lemens said staff is bringing forward brine making equipment to help with
operations. He said there are some limitations depending on snow type and
adjustments are made as necessary. He advised the committee that the plow
map was looked at last year for some changes but was not completed. He
would like to have the committee look at the plow map at the next meeting taking
all comments made tonight into account. Alderman Haugaard asked John if we
can make some changes to priority routes. John said some can be changed but
the downtown area has always been a priority.
It was then moved by Alderman Bostrom, seconded by Alderman Ruffolo to open the
public hearing back up. Motion passed 5-0.
• Alderman Haugaard disagreed with John Prijic over comments made regarding
snow route 6.
The public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Alderman Michalski, seconded by Alderman Gordon to receive and
file. Motion passed 5-0.

Resolution by the Mayor – To Approve the Route of the Streetcar System Expansion
and to Commence Project Design and Engineering. (Transit Commission approved –
Ayes 5: Noes 1) (referred from Council on 8/5/13)
A public hearing was held. Mayor Bosman presented his proposed streetcar route, he
explained the use of the money matching grant and what it covers and also explained
additional money in the CIP will be used for street repairs.
John Doyle, Western Springs, IL, spoke in favor.
Don Olsen, Beach Park, IL, spoke in favor.
Robert Faelak, Kenosha, WI, spoke in favor.
Kurt Wicklund, Kenosha, WI, spoke in favor.
Edward Rosengren, Addison, IL, spoke in favor.
Lou Molitor, Kenosha Chamber of Commerce Director, spoke in favor.
Virginia Hoekstra, Kenosha, WI, would prefer to see expansion up 52 nd Street to airport
and proposed future casino.
Lou Rugani, Kenosha, WI, spoke in favor.
Paul McDonough, Kenosha, WI, representing BID business, spoke in favor.
Violet Richer, Kenosha, WI, Director of Downtown Kenosha, spoke in favor.
Shanon Molina, Transit Commissioner, commented on 150 surveys conducted showed
there was 50-50 support.
Hans Schneider, Kenosha, WI, supports plan to put funding into downtown but
questions the dollar amount, he feels money would be better spent on buses to other
areas of the city and he doesn't see many people riding the streetcar.
Mary Johnson, BID Board member, spoke in favor.
Mary Dixon, Kenosha, WI, spoke against. She commented on operating costs and
would rather restore buildings and route will only showcase empty buildings. She
asked how many trees and how much right-of-way acquisition will be required.
Merike Phillips, Kenosha, WI, spoke against. She is an owner of historic property and
does not want the streetcar in historic Library Park because she feels it would detract
from the historic nature of the area.
Scott Page, Kenosha, WI, spoke against. He commented that Kenosha is much
smaller than cities used in comparison.
Mayor Bosman spoke again explaining that the cost of expansion is $5 million per mile
so it would cost $12.5 million to get route to Carthage. The current proposed route
would not add operating expenses because there would only be one car in the loop.
•
Rita Roselli, Kenosha, WI, spoke in favor.
Alderman Juliana asked Ron Iwen if the city can put switches in for future use going
west. Mr. Iwen replied that will be determined by Engineering. He commented that the
opposition he has heard did not come to this meeting. He feels people like to ride the
streetcar and believes what the Mayor said about 80% tourism and 20% mode of
transportation.
Alderman Michalski agrees with the Mayor and likes the streetcar but is not in favor of
this proposed route. He would like to see it expand to Roosevelt Road to connect to
uptown area as 63rd Street is built to accommodate the streetcar.
Alderman Gordon commented that he heard from only one constituent and they were in
favor. He feels the expansion has potential as the downtown is the city's crown jewel.
He feels downtown businesses need the trolley to bring it back and need the project
now.
Alderman Haugaard commented that this vote is more about the design and
engineering to start working on the project. The grant money must be used on
qualifying expenses, the money is limited so it cannot just go anywhere.
It was moved by Alderman Gordon, seconded by Alderman Juliana to approve. Motion
passed 3-1 with Alderman Michalski voting no.
ADJOURNMENT - There being no further business to come before the Public Works
Committee, it was moved, seconded and unanimously approved to adjourn the meeting at
