DIVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM
May 11, 2012
TO: City Council
FROM: David M. Botts, P.E., Utility Director
SUBJECT: Action on a Proposed Resolution Acknowledging Review of the
Wastewater Utility 2011 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (File
Res. 2012-916)
Summary
All cities, villages, and sanitary districts in the State of Wisconsin that operate
wastewater treatment facilities must prepare and submit Compliance Maintenance
Annual Reports (CMAR) to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR).
These reports evaluate the overall condition of a community’s treatment facility and may
be used as a basis to recommend or require corrective actions to deficient facilities.
Department Recommendation
The Wastewater Utility staff prepared this report and recommends that the City Council
adopt the proposed resolution.
Manager’s Recommendation
The City Manager concurs with the Utility staff’s recommendation.
Suggest Motion
Move to adopt Resolution Number 2012-916 acknowledging the Common Council’s
review of the 2011 Compliance Maintenance Annual Report.
Analysis
The WDNR developed the CMAR Program to provide a uniform method to measure the
overall condition of Wisconsin’s treatment facilities. The grading scale is similar to those
used in many high schools and colleges. It is based on a 0.00 to 4.00 point scale with
the final number converted to a letter grade (A through F). When communities receive
low grades the WDNR can require those communities to improve their treatment
facilities.
Grade Corrective Actions Additional Actions
A or B Voluntary None
C Recommended Response to WNDR outlining
community action to correct
D or F Required
deficiency.
The City of Janesville received an A/B for the 2011 report. In September the treatment
plant experienced an equipment malfunction which caused a clarifier to fill with sludge
and started to release. Once identified, the problem was isolated and cleaned up, but
this discharge caused us to get a B grade in that section of the report. The nine other
categories used by the WDNR to evaluate the collection and treatment of wastewater
within the City of Janesville all received a grade of A.
A second part of this process requires the passage of a supporting resolution by the
City Council. This resolution (No. 2012-916) indicates that the Council has reviewed the
Compliance Maintenance Annual Report. The resolution is similar to those used in past
years and has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

RESOLUTION NO. 2012-916
A Resolution acknowledging the Common Council’s review of the Compliance Maintenance
Annual Report of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
WHEREAS, the City of Janesville is required by State regulation to annually prepare a
Compliance Maintenance Report that describes the physical conditions and performance of the City’s
wastewater treatment and collection facilities; and,
WHEREAS, as part of the report preparation process, the Department of Natural Resources of
the State of Wisconsin (WDNR) requires the Common Council to adopt a resolution acknowledging
that it has reviewed the Compliance Maintenance Report; and,
WHEREAS, the Utility Director has submitted the Compliance Maintenance Annual Report of
the City of Janesville Wastewater Treatment Plant, dated April 30, 2012, to the Common Council for
their review.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Janesville
that they have reviewed the aforementioned Compliance Maintenance Annual Report and find that no
action by the Common Council is necessary at this time to maintain compliance with current effluent
limitations.

City Manager’s Office Memorandum
May 29, 2012
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Al Hulick, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Action on a Proposed Resolution authorizing the City of Janesville
to enter into an Agreement with the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources to become a Green Tier Legacy Community.
(File Resolution 2012-917)
Summary
In June 2010, the City Council endorsed the Sustainable Janesville Committee’s
(SJC) priority project of creating a Green Action Plan for the City of Janesville. In
order to accomplish that goal, the City Administration and Sustainable Janesville
Committee seek Council approval to join the Green Tier Legacy Program through
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to create a sustainably plan for
the City.
Staff Recommendation
The Sustainable Janesville Committee recommends the City Council approve
File Resolution 2012-917 authorizing the City Administration to join the Green
Tier Legacy Program with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
City Manager’s Recommendation
In weighing the pros and cons of moving forward in becoming a Green Tier
Legacy Community, I believe it would benefit the City long-term by creating a
closer relationship with the DNR that would enable the City to gain enhanced
resources in becoming a more sustainable City.
Even though I believe the positives outweigh the negatives, one negative to be
aware of is that the City would need to enter into an agreement committing to
moving forward with some form of sustainable action plan.
Background
On June 14, 2010, the Sustainable Janesville Committee and City Council held a
joint study session to discuss the role and goals of the SJC. At the conclusion of
that meeting, the Council and the SJC agreed upon three priority projects that the
Committee could complete within the next 12-18 months.
One of the final priority projects yet to be completed was the creation of a Green
Action Plan. This plan would then be used to guide future decisions to ensure
the goals objectives of the City’s Eco-Municipality Resolution (2008-508) are met.
The creation of this action plan was to be funded through a portion of the City’s
2009 EECBG Allocation ($25,000). These funds were obligated for this purpose
in September 2011, and must be fully expended by September 2012.
In May 2011, the SJC and City Council hosted a presentation by Mr. Steve
Hinkier, Executive Director of 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, regarding the Green
Tier Legacy Program. That presentation provided the SJC and the City Council
an overview of the program. At the culmination of this presentation, the SJC
agreed that the Green Tier Legacy Program would satisfy the committee goal of
creating a Green Action Plan while receiving direct benefits and consultation from
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources during the planning and
implementation process.
At that time, the Green Tier Legacy Program was not able to accept new
communities to participate. However, in January 2012, the Executive Committee
of the Legacy Program agreed to expand their program to serve additional
communities and would consider Janesville’s inclusion in the program upon the
City Council’s adoption of a resolution authorizing their commitment to the
program.
Program Background
The Green Tier Legacy Program is a collaboration between the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), the Wisconsin League of
Municipalities, the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation, the UW Center
on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS), 1000 Friends of Wisconsin and five Wisconsin
municipalities. The program is designed to foster and provide technical
assistance for sustainable practices implemented in participating municipalities.
In return for their participation, communities receive recognition, technical
assistance and regulatory flexibility from the WDNR through their Green Tier
program.
The program was launched in December of 2010 with five communities
participating: the cities of Appleton, Bayfield, Fitchburg and Middleton and the
village of Weston. The cities have pledged to implement sustainable practices as
outlined in the charter and its appendices. In January of 2012, the GTLC was
opened to allow more communities to participate.
Participating communities select the policies and strategies that fit within local
priorities and needs. Progress is marked by change within the individual
community, not by comparison with other Legacy communities. However,
communities meet regularly to discuss policies and what barriers may exist that
impede progress. Program participants meet quarterly to share strategies, learn
new and developing sustainability practices, and develop strategies with the
WDNR that reduce paperwork and streamline regulatory actions.
By participating in the Green Tier Legacy Program, local governments commit to
the goal of meeting the economic and infrastructure needs of today's residents
while conserving resources so that future generations can enjoy the same
community benefits. Actions within this program can address a broad range of
“variables” that could include reducing municipal energy use, developing and
implementing a transportation system that provides energy-efficient travel
choices, supporting local business development such as increased access to
local foods and other products and services, etc (See Attached Program
Baseline Checklist). Communities establish a baseline of these “variables” and
then create a Sustainability Implementation and Monitoring Plan.
By agreeing to perform this baseline analysis and creating a Sustainability
Implementation and Monitoring Plan, the City will be assigned a liaison from the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources who will work directly with the City
to help establish the baseline information and create the Implementation and
Monitoring Plans. In order to continue to receive this hands on assistance from
the WDNR, the City would have to agree to sign an agreement with the WDNR
that they would indeed establish this baseline information, create the
Implementation and Monitoring Plan, and continue to show those plans are being
followed and implemented accordingly.
The only costs associated with this program would be the additional staff time
required to collect, analyze, and establish the baseline information. This
additional staff time would be paid for through the City’s approved 2009 EECBG
Work Plan.

Community Development Department Memorandum
Date: May 29, 2012
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Gale Price, Building & Development Services Manager
SUBJECT: Report on status of property located at 101 North Franklin Street (old gas
station) and direction to staff.
_____________________________________________________________________
I. RECOMMENDATION
Following discussion on this matter by the City Council, the Administration requests
the Council provide the staff with direction regarding proceeding with repairs and
maintenance of the service station structure located at 101 North Franklin Street.
II. CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
As the Council may be aware, the historic service station that is situated next to the
Police Station is currently deteriorating. This building was initially purchased with
the intent of demolition for future expansion of the Police Department. A group of
citizens at the time brought forward concerns with demolishing the building with the
hope of finding an alternative viable use for the structure.
Due to the deterioration at this time, I believe that it will either be necessary to make
certain repairs at a cost of between $50,000 and $95,000 or to move forward with
demolition.
If the City chooses to move forward with repairs, two possible viable future uses
would be to tie it into future uses of a Police station expansion or to utilize it for
Leisure Service activities and/or storage.
Either of the above renovations would cost more financially than a demolition, but
the tradeoff would be moving forward with a historical building and establishing a
use in the future of benefit to the city.
III. REQUEST
The City of Janesville owns the former service station located at 101 N. Franklin
Street. In March of this year Staff evaluated the north parapet, a portion of which is
failing from the vacant building. The building was originally purchased with the
intent to demolish the structure for future expansion of the Police Services Building
located at 100 North Jackson Street, which is contiguous to the vacant service
station. The building is in need of significant repairs and the Administration is
requesting direction as to how to proceed with the structure.
IV. ANALYSIS
A. The former service station includes a 7230 square foot parcel with a 2815
square foot building. The site was purchased by the City in November, 2007
with the intent to demolish the building to provide for additional land area for
future expansion of the Police Service Building, which is contiguous to the site.
The Police Department has been utilizing the building for storage.
B. The building was purchased for $92,000 and the Administration anticipated a
cost of $25,000 for demolition of the building. All costs for acquisition and
demolition were to come from TIF 9.
C. In February, 2002 the Janesville Historic Commission reviewed the potential for
adding this building to the National Register of Historic places and at that time
determined that it was not eligible for recognition on the national register.
There are opinions that the building is eligible, but at this time the building is not
listed in any historic district or historic register (State or Federal).
D. When the building was purchased in 2007 the City Council agreed to delay the
demolition of the building for 6 months while a Leadership Development
Academy class explored options to reuse the former station. Potential re-uses
for private sector businesses were identified but no party to redevelop the
building has come forward. In January 2009 the City Council authorized an
application for a grant to develop an adaptive reuse plan. That grant was not
awarded and development of a plan for the reuse of the building has not moved
forward.
E. With the assistance of a private contractor, Staff has identified major areas of
work that would need to be done in the near term to preserve the building.
Estimates were provided by contractors. The repairs include reconstruction of
the parapet wall, tuckpointing, infilling of missing bricks, repair of the chimney
and coping on the top of the wall. The roof membrane would also need to be
replaced on the structure due to the collapsed parapet. The wall and chimney
repairs are estimated to be $47,500 while the roof repair is estimated to be a
minimum of $35,000 for a total of $82,500. If the exterior paint on the building
is lead based, there will be an additional $15,000 expense to mitigate the paint
for a total cost of $97,500.
F. The near term expansion of the Police Services building would include
expansion of the parking garage, but that will be to the north of the structure.
When administrative areas of the building would need to be expanded, the
service station site would be the most logical location given the configuration of
the structure.
th
G. The building is an excellent example of an early 20 century service station.
Unfortunately older buildings require maintenance and this structure is currently
in a state that significant maintenance is required in order to preserve the
structure.
VI. SUMMARY
At this time is appears there is not a viable private sector business willing to enter
into an agreement for reuse of the building. Without any adaptive reuse of the
structure it would be appropriate for the City to relocate some business activity
within the building. With any reuse, there will be additional cost to prepare the
building for the reuse. The costs for such a reuse are dependent upon what the
specific use will be. The Administration requests direction on how to proceed
with the building, either to repair the structure to continue its preservation or
proceed with removal of the building.
