Officials seek extra access to West End

Gorrell: Second road
to proposed H.S. site
makes sense
SCOTT GIRARD
Its not quite a roadblock

to the Verona Area School
District referendum planned
for April, but getting it
settled would be a plus.

VASD officials are working to find space for a road
to connect a proposed high
school campus on the West
End property with Paoli
Street with the City of Verona and the state Department
of Transportation. The state
Department of Transportation controls the access
points from Paoli Street
onto the West End land.
While VASD superintendent Dean Gorrell said

getting the road approval
which is going to be subject
mostly to the DOT and its
policies is not necessary
for the referendum to go
forward, it would be helpful.
Two ways out of a large
institution is always better
than one, Gorrell said.
The district is working
toward an expected April

referendum to ask voters
for around $200 million
to build a new high school
campus on the West End
and renovate other buildings. That $200 million
was the initial estimate and
could still be decreased by
the school board.

Historical society cemetery discussion draws 50

JIM FEROLIE
More than 50 people

packed the Verona Public
Librarys Community Room
Wednesday, Aug. 17, for a
discussion on the Badger
Prairie cemetery organized
by the Verona Area Historical Society.
It was one of the biggest
turnouts the group has had in
its 10-year existence.
Verona Press editor Jim
Ferolie and Melissa Seymour, who worked together
on a 2008 story about the
cemetery, led the discussion
with a presentation about
their research.
A few of the sources of
that story took part in the
discussion, including Gladys Behnke, who worked for
years at the Badger Prairie
Health Care Center, once
called the Dane County Hospital and Home and before
that, the Dane County Asylum

residents who might have
been buried there, including
teens who had run away from
arranged marriages or gotten

The facilities changed
dramatically over the years,
starting as essentially a large
home and then adding hospital facilities and tearing some
down before being completely replaced in 2010.

The leper colony, as referenced in the monument,
appears to have been located
on other county land of Hwy.

inhabitants had leprosy, however, or whether any were
buried at that cemetery. But

No suspects in string
of summer car thefts
hours of Aug. 15 on Gilman
Street and Aug. 16 and 17 on
South Franklin Street, culminating in the theft of two
more vehicles early Monday
morning on Hemlock Drive.
Five of the six vehicles have been recovered,
with all but one found on
the west side of Madison,
Dresser said. He added that
the department believes the
same individual or group is
responsible for the thefts,
and that a car stolen from
Madisons west side was
found in Verona. Recent
bicycle thefts might also be
tied to the investigation, as
several bikes stolen from
both Verona and Madison

have been recovered near
where the stolen cars were
parked.
Dresser said the department is working with the
Madison Police Department
on the investigation, and
that theres nothing concrete in terms of suspects
yet. None of the recovered
cars were significantly
damaged or showed signs
of forced entry, indicating
the suspects are targeting
unlocked cars with the keys
stored inside.
The departments Twitter
account notified the public
of the thefts on Aug. 16,
urging residents to remove

keys and valuables from
their cars and keep them
locked at all times. Dresser advised the same Monday, adding that if people
observe anything suspicious
like an individual going
from car to car or witness a theft in progress, they
should call 911 immediately.
This is unprecedented in
the City of Verona, Dresser said. We usually average one or two stolen cars a
year.

New school bus

warning light
law takes effect
D r ive r s h ave a n ew
warning light to look
for when driving near a
school bus as the 2016-17
school year approaches.
A new regulation went
into effect Aug. 16 that
requires buses built after
Jan. 1, 2005, to have
amber lights that precede
its red warning lights
while coming to a stop.
The lights are a signal
that the school bus is preparing to stop, so drivers
need to slow down, pay
attention and proceed
carefully, state patrol Lt.
Karl Mittelstadt said in a
news release.
While drivers can pass a
bus with amber lights on,
they should do so carefully, Mittelstadt clarified.
Once the red lights
come on, as in the past,
drivers coming toward and
behind the bus must stop
at least 20 feet from the
bus and remain until the
red lights are turned off
or the bus begins to travel
again.
Violation of that law
results in a minimum fine
of $326.50, according to
the news release. If there
is no median, cars coming
in the opposite direction
of a bus are required to

amber lights regulation, search for

stop. If there is a median

or other physical barrier
separating the directional lanes, the law does not
apply.
Before this law took
effect, bus drivers were
required to activate the red
warning lights 100 feet
before stopping. Now, the
amber lights must be activated 300 feet before a bus
will stop in a 45 mph or
higher speed limit zone,
and 100 feet before stopping under 45 mph. The
red lights are to be activated once the bus has come
to a stop.
The state Department of
Transportation created a
video to explain the new
warning lights. To view

Letters to the editor
VPD officers applied training effectively

We would like to commend the
two VPD officers who responded
to a man in trouble in front of our
house early Monday morning,
Aug. 8.
The man was very intoxicated
and disoriented, and both officers,
as well as the EMTs who arrived
to assist, acted in a very calm,
patient and professional manner.
They were kind and considerate
and helpful to the young man in
making sure he was properly cared
for. They also spent a considerable
amount of time searching for the

mans lost eyeglasses.
In the face of all the recent
issues with police interactions, this
was a demonstration of police/public interactions as we would like
them to be. The officers should be
commended for their actions and
it shows that they have been well
trained and are applying that training effectively.

Dont blame SBM system for inconsistencies in schools

I retired as the superintendent
for the Verona Area School District (VASD) 12 years ago. Prior
to becoming superintendent, I
was principal at Sugar Creek,
Stoner Prairie and Country
View. The teachers with whom I
worked and learned with not only
transformed the lives of students,
they changed my life.
As an administrator, I strongly
believed that decisions pertaining
to teaching and learning needed
to be made by teachers. My goal
was for teachers to move beyond
input to actually making the decisions that most directly affected
student learning. This work
ultimately became known as sitebased management (SBM).
Do not confuse the process
with the purpose. Site-based
management was the means;
improving student achievement
was its purpose. As our SBM
system evolved, we assumed
there would be equity issues. Our
concerns were related to equity in
the distribution of resources, student expectations, grading, union
agreements and how we included

parents. We created a system that
addressed these issues by engaging staff in defining parameters,
involving the Board of Education
and by working with our administrators to build a culture of
shared leadership. We carefully
developed a system of support for
our sites, enabling us to maintain
necessary consistencies while
honoring the uniqueness of each
school.
Our administrative team
improved the SBM system annually. For SBM to be successful,
it was necessary to have clearly
defined leadership responsibilities and accountabilities. We
devoted substantial attention
to assuring that programs were
equitable and reflected the specific needs of students and families.
My experiences as an administrator in the VASD and four other
school districts has taught me
that there are many ways to challenge our students academically.
The key to success is to ensure
that academic improvement is
fundamentally predicated on
parent involvement, teacher
engagement and clear evidence of
student learning.
I commend the board on
its efforts to improve student
achievement. I recognize that as
times change, new and innovative
practices will present options
for improving student learning.
Please dont minimize the past
work of our site-based leadership
teams. Neither our challenges

elementaries.
If parents are unable to
make one of the meetings,
VASD director of technology Betty Wottreng said
the presentations will be
recorded and posted on the
district website.
Wottreng has advocated

for spending on devices to
become a utility payment,
like electricity or water, as
technology is integral to the
districts instructional plans
and helps with the emphasis
on personalized learning.
The $2.6 million lease
was funded with money
expected from the closeout
of the Epic tax-increment

finance district, which is
projected to bring in around
$11 million. While funding
an annual lease with onetime money was not the
preferred method for some
board members, it was seen
as a stopgap measure to
create time for a broader
discussion about the budget
throughout the year.
Thisll jump start this
and position us so that in
four years we will have
built in a line item over
time to take the place of the
one-time money, VASD
superintendent Dean Gorrell said at the time. It was
like, Gosh, this looks like
Mount Everest to climb in
one budget cycle.

Low People in High Places

A persons position in society or in an organization
doesnt always correlate with his or her moral stature.
The CEO of the company is sometimes a jerk while
the cleaning lady or the guy who runs the mailroom
may be the nicest person youd ever meet. The ambition which it takes to get to high places may induce
some people to cut corners or treat others poorly,
whereas the person who does the so-called menial
work may realize that she serves others and thus act
accordingly. There is a spiritual lesson here which it
behooves us to pay attention to. That is, we should
be willing to do menial work and also be willing to
associate with lowly people. People who work in
the caring professions (doctors, nurses, teachers and
social workers, among others) know that everyone
has their cross to bear, and even the lowliest among
us have a story to tell. So take time to hear their story
and dont be afraid to associate with the lowly. Angels
have been known to come among us in the form of
wayfaring strangers.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with
people of low position. Do not be conceited.

More than just pizza
Brava sold to
new publisher
Pizza Ranch has been packing them in all summer

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
neat to be able to help that.
Busy start
When a restaurant is named

Pizza Ranch, it would be
easy to assume the menu is
sort of a one-trick pony.
Whoa. Just hold your horses, partner.
While there is plenty of
pizza and ranch at one
of Veronas newest eateries, owners Bill and Bonnie
Walther are proud to feature a menu with a surprisingly wide variety of foods,
designed for people of all
ages.
The western-themed Pizza
Ranch, located on Veronas
rapidly developing eastern corridor at 100 Keenan
Ct., is the first restaurant for
the couple, who grew up
in southern Wisconsin and
reside in Waunakee. Theyre
proud to offer plenty more
than pizza, as evidenced by
a 28-item salad bar, dessert
table and ice cream machine
and buffet featuring different
sides and main courses.
And yes, there is practically an unlimited combination
of pizza styles, eight of which
are featured in the buffet at
any one time.
T h e r e s e n o u g h f o r
everyone in the family, from
grandma and grandpa down
to the 2-year-old to sit and eat
and have a family meal, Bill
Walther said.
A 34-year-old Iowa-based
chain of buffet-style restaurants, Pizza Ranches are
making their way into Wisconsin, with locations in Sun
Prairie, Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells. The Verona restaurant opened June 6, with lines
that stretched out the door.
It was the culmination of
a nearly four-year journey,
Bill Walther said one that
started innocuously enough
when as a financial manager
for a Fortune 500 company,
he was reviewing the financial statements of one of his
clients who owned a pair of
the restaurants, including one
After a bit of a chaotic

opening, things have settled down into just regular
busy at the 200-person
capacity restaurant, which
Bill Walther is just fine with,
even if it does come with a
built-in learning curve.
Being a financial manager for other companies in
the past, I was never there on
day one, it was always people already in place, he said.
Now, having 100 employees when you open, that just
opens the whole gamut.
One thing that has helped
the transition is giving customers personalized service, like the Buffet Your
Way, which Bonnie Walther
explained.
We have a list of ingredients and you can order the
way you want, she said. If
your favorite pizza is not in
the buffet, we put the order
in, and then as part of the
buffet price, we bring that
pizza to your table and serve
you the first couple slices.
Bill Walther said when
families visit, he often sees
different food interests for
different age groups, so hes
glad Pizza Ranch offers a
variety of items.
The young people in the
family are going to go after
the pizza, he said. Mom
and dad came in because the
young kids wanted to, but
then they sampled the chicken and mashed potatoes and
the stuffing and the vegetables, and theyre willing to
come back for a second visit.

in Wisconsin Dells.
It was the real deal, it was
viable, and not every restaurant is, he said. He built a
new restaurant in the Dells
about three years ago, so I
kind of went through that
process with him.
Bill Walther said hed
always wanted to own his
own business, and with
only about 10 years left to
work, wanted to give it a
try.
When he approached his
wife, though, she wasnt
interested in taking the leap.
But he persisted, and after
she heard more, she finally
relented, and kept getting
increasingly involved in the
business plan.
It just felt right, Bonnie
Walther said of the timing.
Hes done so much in business that he could pick apart
every single little thing that
wouldnt work, but we didnt
see that. I trusted him in his
business acumen. So there
we went.
The level of community
involvement from the business also impressed the couple, and they have continued
that in their Verona restaurant by offering meeting
space to community groups.
(Pizza Ranch) truly wants
to be part of the community;
they want this to be a gathering place, she said. Its

Another new restaurant is

coming to Verona this year.
Monks Bar and Grill will
take over the space of Cucos
Mexican Restaurant, which
closed recently at 1050 North
Edge Trl. Repeated calls to
other Cucos locations were
not returned by anyone who
could speak to why or when
it closed.
Monks has two locations
in the area, Middleton and
Sun Prairie, and operational
lead Greg Frankov, who will
help the franchisee open the
Verona location, said the new
spot has been in the works
since early January and is
expected to open Dec. 15.
We knew that we wanted to have a third location
in Madison, Frankov said.

If you do your calculations
correctly, Verona is one of
the fastest-growing communities probably in Wisconsin.
It was a natural fit for us to
want to come to Verona.
The Monks franchisee
who will own the business
is also buying the building,
which was key to the deal,
Frankov said.
The big thing for us is
we want longevity from
our franchisees so we do
ask that they purchase their
location, he said. You can
be nestled within a community for 20, 30 years if you
purchase a building.
Pizza Hut of Southwest
Wisconsin bought the building more than 10 years ago
and later decided not to
open a location there. It has
a delivery store on McKee
Road.
The new family-oriented restaurant will take over
a space that also previously
housed Megans of Verona,
a family restaurant, and

before that a steakhouse.
Frankov said he expects
the business to start with 65
employees.
Monks first opened in the
area in 2011, and serves a
range of beers, fried foods
and burgers with sports
themed decor and plentiful
televisions. The other locations menus also include
sandwiches, salads and
specialty dishes like Crispy
BBQ Chicken Mac and
Cheese and a pot roast dinner.
The first location was in
the Wisconsin Dells, and
the restaurant most recently expanded to Eau Claire,
Frankov noted.

Brad Zaugg recently sold
one of his two businesses located here to spend
more time focused on the
other.
Z a u g g a n d c o - ow n er Michelle Reddington
sold Brava Enterprises to
Nei-Turner Media Group
Inc. earlier this month.
Through Reddington will
maintain her role as publisher at the company,
Zaugg will spend more
time focusing on Zerorez,
a carpet-cleaning business
located in Liberty Business Park.
I have another business
thats been growing rapidly and needed more and
more of my attention,
Zaugg explained to the
Press.
At the same time, taking
the next step at Brava was going to require a

partnership with another
company, and Nei-Turner
offered to purchase it at
a very attractive price
while keeping virtually
all of the people that we
had other than a couple
of part-time positions,
Zaugg said.
Brava Enterprises
ran Hometown Days as
recently as 2013, after
Zaugg agreed to take it on
when Verona Community Betterment disbanded
before the 2012 festival.
That was definitely a
highlight for me, Zaugg
said.
Zaugg and Reddington
bought Brava Enterprises
in August 2009.

BPNN: Food pantry seeks more volunteers to keep up with increase in patrons, donations
pantry store, a nutrition center with commercial-grade
equipment and a series of
offices, including one for
an on-site Joining Forces
for Families social worker.
There is also a childrens
playroom across from an
open meeting room, which
has been used as a gathering spot for community
meals, computer access and
VASDs young adult transition program.
Pat Berry, who has volunteered for seven years and
took over as food pantry
coordinator when Doug and
Martha Maxwell stepped
down in June, said there
is no comparison between
this location on East Verona Avenue and the last, in
a basement of the former
library on Franklin Street.
Its a much more comfortable environment, she
told the Press. Were able
to do more for more people
with this location.
What BPNN didnt fully
anticipate was how much
more that meant.
Over the last year, said
BPNN board president Bob
Kasieta, the food pantry has
provided a nutritional bandage for 42 percent more
families (80 percent of
whom are from Fitchburg),
with an average of seven
tons of food per month.
But to handle that amount
of people and food, more
volunteers and donations
are needed.
I wouldnt want people to look at what weve
accomplished in a year as
an organization and say,
Well, they dont really
need us anymore, Kasieta
said. We desperately need
everybody in this community.
Creating connections
Surrounded by baskets
of overgrown zucchini and
other ripe vegetables in
BPNNs hallway is a sign
that reads: Its summer and
the veggies are fresh.
Since local farmers, gardeners, churches and grocery stores have been dropping off a surplus of donations this season, food pantry patrons can shop the
hallway as often as theyd
like for free, of course
so the fresh produce doesnt
spoil and go to waste.
Its nice to have that
rural connection, volunteer
Goals for growth

BPNN sets objectives for strategic plan
Badger Prairie Needs Network
shared with the Press its top five
goals as part of the nonprofits strategic plan.
BPNN board president Bob Kasieta said the board hopes they will
be fleshed out within the next few
months, then implementation will
begin.
Kasieta
1. Needs assessment
Photo by Samantha Christian
Sonia Ramirez and Don Hefty, of Verona, chat while enjoying the Aug. 20 community meal at
BPNN, which Ramirez said is a good place to meet people.
Jennifer Bulleit said while
wiping dirt off an assortment of yellow squash.
The communitys support here is just unbelievable, Berry added. And
this place wouldnt exist
without (it).
For the past six months,
food that is produced for
Epics cafeterias but never served has also been
repurposed during Saturday
community meals or as a
meal-to-go option for pantry patrons. The meals, held
every other week during
the summer, serve between
50-150 people, including
BPNN volunteers, community leaders, seniors and
families who use the food
pantry.
T h a t s m a r v e l o u s ,
because a big part of creating this community is
d e s t r o y i n g t h a t d iv i d e
between us and them,
Kasieta said.
BPNNs licensed kitchen, where many cooking
and nutritional classes are
held, has another purpose:
It can repackage products
in bulk. So when Second
Harvest discovered that earlier this month, BPNN volunteers helped repackage
2,500 pounds of flour from
50-pound bags into fivepound bags, which the communitys food pantry would
have had to purchase in the
past.

make a huge difference, Berry said. For example, a few

local students set up a spurof-the-moment food drive
at Millers Supermarket and
brought in 600 pounds of
food after two hours.
These donations, and the
pantrys ability to repackage and store them longer
in the walk-in cooler and
freezer, has allowed BPNN
to cut costs.
But Kasieta said that, like
most nonprofits, there is
still a sense of worry about
B P N N s s u s t a i n a b i l i t y
because it survives on volunteers and the generosity
of the community.
Its not a bunch of people in the community giving things to others, he
said. Its about people in
the community working
together.
Sustaining the effort

Considering all of the
changes BPNN has undergone in the last year, Kasieta

* Premier Provider for the state Delta Dental plan
and Berry agree things have

gone better than expected.
But there is still room for
improvement.
Part of BPNNs strategic
plan is to better understand
the needs of its clients, and
that requires a shift in thinking.
Kasieta said he used to
naively think the solution
to poverty was as simple
as securing a better job and
getting access to proper
nutrition and health services, and the rest would fall
into place. But the reality is
much more complex.
Their employment, their
language, their health, their
economic (and) financial
education, their transportation, just every facet of life
that we all take for granted,
if we dont have scarcity
problems or challenges, he
said. And theyre all interwoven.
BPNN wants to continue building a network that
get(s) services to people
who need it in the most efficient way possible, Kasieta
said, and to do so, the nonprofit needs to strengthen its
volunteer base.
While the list of BPNN
volunteers has doubled to
300 names since last year,
getting people to sign up
for shifts has been difficult. Kasieta said the board
is concerned about certain
volunteers burning out from
taking on too many tasks
and hours without a break.
We are asking a lot of a
few people, still, and were
trying to spread it out, he
said. And theres only so
much people can give.
One of Berrys goals is
to create more efficiencies,
especially since BPNN is
significantly understaffed.
Retirees make up a big
portion of the volunteers,
but Berry said students have
been vital to the nonprofit
during their summer break,
helping with special projects, community meals and
even translating for patrons.
Kasieta said there are volunteer roles for everybodys
In order for BPNN to provide help in the most

meaningful way, the board wants to do a better job of
finding out what the communitys needs are.
This is about service to people, Kasieta said. Not
about making us feel good.
BPNN is already setting up clients in need of legal
services with lawyers willing to help on a pro bono
basis, as well as matching clients one-on-one with
local students to improve resumes and computer
skills.
It also plans to identify people and groups who are
already serving the same populations needs. Rather
than duplicate a service another entity is doing well,
he said, BPNN could offer to host meetings or clinics
at the facility to make those services more accessible.
2. Sustainability
A 20-year lease on the former county administration building at the Badger Prairie Health Care Center
complex is a good start, but the board also wants to
be sure that BPNN is sustainable both financially and
organizationally.
That starts with being accountable for and responsible with the money it receives, Kasieta said.
Other than donations that are strictly for the food
pantry, BPNN will consider setting aside 10 percent
of all other contributions and manage it conservatively up to one year of operating revenue so that if
something awful happens we can dip into it.
He said he has agreed to be the board president
for one more year, but believes that new blood and
fresh perspectives are vital to the growth of the
organization.
3. Food pantry
BPNN is more than a food pantry, but thats still the
nonprofits main function and what the public views it
as, Kasieta said. For those reasons, the board wants to
focus on specific areas of improvement.
Now weve been here a year; lets take a look at
how were doing, what can we do better, what can we
do more of, he said.
Since transportation can be an issue for some
patrons, BPNN is exploring the possibility of having
food delivered to certain neighborhoods.
4. Communication
With so many different things happening at BPNN,
some volunteers have expressed to the board that they
would like to see improved communication to feel
more unified. Kasieta said the board is exploring a
more dependable newsletter or email system to keep
volunteers updated and informed.
5. Volunteer coordination
To keep BPNN an all-volunteer nonprofit, it needs
to get a better sense of who makes up the volunteer
base and gauge their interest in doing more at the
facility now that theres more to be done, Kasieta
explained.
Since volunteer burnout is a concern, the board
wants to get more people into leadership roles and
spread out responsibilities so that BPNN can have a
more horizontal organizational chart.
One of those roles would be the addition of a volunteer executive director, who would have day-to-day
operational responsibility for BPNNs staff and execution of its programs.
Samantha Christian
interests and time commitment from stocking

shelves to managing a shift
or helping with inventory
and ordering and BPNN
will do the training.
Although many of those
roles dont include any
heavy lifting, seeing the
communitys needs up close
can weigh heavily on volunteers minds.
We cant escape the reality that what were talking
about here is really a dismal fact that in our society,
Kasieta said. We have a
lot of people who just cant

make ends meet.
But he still feels as though
BPNN brings an uplifting
presence to the community,
and he hopes that volunteers
contribute to its positive culture well into the future.
When Im almost 80
years old, I want to be able
to walk in here and say, Its
going well, Kasieta said.

It was an impressive showing

for the Verona Area High School
football team Friday as the Wildcats crushed Janesville Parker
34-6 in a lightning-shortened season opener at Monterey Stadium
in Janesville.
Verona finished with 228 rushing yards on 29 attempts, led by
senior Obi Ifediora (14 carries,
129, two touchdowns) and Drew
King (9 carries, 92 yards, touchdown) and senior quarterback
Max Fink (touchdown).

good, and we have some receivers
that can play.
Fink also had a nice day connecting with his tight ends, seniors
Hunter Bourne (four catches for
65 yards) and Michael Coyne (one
catch for 26 yards, touchdown).
Fink finished 9-for-15 with 119
yards and a touchdown.
Defensively, Verona also had a
big day, allowing just one touchdown after a botched punt put Parker on the Verona 6-yard line in the
second quarter.
Besides holding Parker scoreless
in the second half, the Wildcats also
held Parker senior running back
DJ Vance (114 yards on 23 carries,
touchdown) to five yards a carry.
Overall, we got kids who can
make plays and get us out of a jam,
Richardson said.
Sophomore linebacker Dylan
Bourne finished with a sack and
seven total tackles, while junior
defensive lineman Jaylin Thompson had a sack and two total tackles.
Senior linebacker Jack Scott who
also caught two catches for 18 yards
as a split end on offense had 1/2
sack and three total tackles, while
senior defensive lineman TJ Hollis
finished with a 1/2 sack and three
total tackles.
Senior linebacker Jake Keyes led
the team with 12 total tackles, and
senior defensive back Brad Laufenberg finished with eight total tackles.

fumbles, one resulting in a touchdown for the Vikings and the other
two halting promising drives.

City of Verona
In brief
Old PB speed limit going to 35

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
The confusing set of speed limits on

Old PB are getting simplified.
For the past six years, parts of the
former county highway had a reduced
speed limit, intended to improve safety
at the Whalen Road intersection. But
other parts those that had been still
in the towns jurisdiction and a little
beyond were set at 45 mph.
Further confusing the issue for drivers, the continuation in either direction
went immediately from 35 mph to 55
mph to the south and from 45 mph to
30 mph to the north.
Monday, the Common Council voted
on its part of making the entire stretch

of road 35 mph from East Verona Avenue to American Way (a few hundred
feet south of County M).
The change came at the request of
the Town of Verona, which is planning
its own reduction at its Sept. 6 meeting.
The town has been working with
the city on new bridges in that area for
next year and recently installed bright
yellow signs marking the presence of
the Military Ridge State Trail crossing
after meeting with the Dane County
Sheriffs Office.
I appreciate the (Public Safety)
committees responsiveness to this
request and dedication to improving
bike and pedestrian safety, said Ald.
Elizabeth Doyle (Dist. 1), a downtown-area resident who has put significant emphasis on that issue in her three
years on the council.
Ald. Mac McGilvray (D-1) voted
against the change without explanation.
Public works director Theran Jacobson told the Press in an email the
change will be effective after both
municipalities agree to it.
Enforcement will begin once signs
are replaced, he added. Temporary
orange flags will be placed on the signs
indicating a change (in) the speed
reduction.

Downtown upgrade gets more expensive

JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
The simplest part of the

downtown plan has gotten
progressively more complicated, more time-consuming and now more expensive
over the past two years.
But after finding out that
the first phase will cost 60
percent more than estimated, alders reluctantly voted
Monday to press on, anyway.
The city awarded a contract for Phase 1 of the
downtown streetscape contract to the lone bidder, JP
Cullen, for $562,332. That
will allow work to begin this
year on a small piece of the
overall project, the rest of
which is expected to shut
down South Main Street for
around a month next summer.
Its been a frustrating
ordeal for alders, some
of whom campaigned on
making the citys downtown more walkable before
the downtown plan was
passed. The first part of
the multi-million-dollar,
decades-long plan was supposed to be easy dress up
the downtown to make it
more of a showpiece while
putting emphasis on the Military Ridge State Trail and
the adjacent park.
That decision was made in
August 2014, and since then,
city staff and contractors

City administrator Jeff Mikorski starts in his new
position Monday, and during the Aug. 22 Common
Council meeting, Ald. Mac McGilvray took some
the time to welcome the former Morgantown, W. Va.,
administrator.
He also made note of the extra work put in by city
staff and the mayor during the time the position was
open, saying they have done a very good job in a
very difficult time.
That period originally was expected to be no more
than a month or two, but it has stretched into five
since Bill Burns resigned to take a City of Middleton
finance director position because alders were unsatisfied with the original group of candidates. Thats carried the staff shortage into budget season, through a
major transition in the public works department and
into a period of development deals.

Phase 1 of the downtown streetscape plan includes the area around the Hometown Junction

have discovered complication after complication
from gas lines that needed to
be replaced to the revelation
that inconsistent and inadequate subsurfaces would
require an entire rebuilding of parts of South Main
Street. Earlier this summer,
the Public Works committee
agreed with outgoing public
works director Ron Rieder
that it would be wasteful to
put in $1 million worth of
sidewalks along Main Street
with the knowledge that the
road would need to be torn
up again within a few years.
The project is entirely
separate from the Church
Street, South Marietta and
G r ove S t r e e t i m p r ove ments that are finishing up

and the bike and pedestrian
plan improvements coming
throughout the city.
The 2016 part of the
streetscape project now
includes work on and
around the Hometown Junction Memorial fountain,
and the rest rebuilt sidewalks, streetscapes, terraces, pre-ordered streetlights
and a rebuilt stretch of Park
Lane to the new parking lot
is expected to be finished
in 2017 along with the Main
Street rebuild.
Public works director
Theran Jacobson explained
that if the bid were not
accepted, the timeline

would be moved back to an
April start, finish the fountain by Memorial Day and
then have the contractor
shut down work until after
Hometown Days, which he
said likely would end up
making it more expensive,
anyway. That helped persuade some alders to vote
for the bid.
The timing of all these
projects is complicated, trying to manage schedules,
traffic, holidays, festivities
and so forth, Jacobson said.

Key provisions of the deal include that it cannot be

The council did not discuss a plan to add apartments

to Liberty Business Park after the Plan Commission
criticized it Aug. 1.
Developer Dean Slaby, at Mondays meeting for
another project, told the Press he and landowner
David Reinke decided to make some adjustments to
the plan before bringing it back to the Plan Commission. Commissioners had called the plan really cool
but disagreed that any residential buildings should be
in that area of the city, which is designated for industrial development.
Commissioners had asked for a master plan of the
entire development and some idea of how it could
actually be a walkable area, rather than an intimidating mass of parking between buildings.
A relocated stretch of Northern Lights Road is now

nearly finished and open for traffic.
The road, which now opens into a new intersection
at the new end of Nine Mound Road, has been paved
and striped after a brief weekend closing earlier this
month. A bike path was expected to be paved earlier this week, and landscaping remains to be finished
before thousands of Epic customers come to Verona
for the annual Users Group Meetings.

Road: Area was originally intended for a shopping center, anchored by big box store
originally expected to house a big
box-anchored shopping center
in the mid-2000s, that road was
considered necessary given what
the maximum traffic could be,
especially around the holidays.
Otherwise, an exit to West Verona
Avenue would be the only in-out
point. But its complicated by
wetlands, a dry tributary to the
Badger Mill Creek and development along Paoli Street that could
make an exit too close to the U.S.
Hwy. 18-151 onramp to meet
DOT standards.
While the traffic for the high
school would likely be less at its
peak than the shopping center
starts and ends of days and Friday
night football games Gorrell

said it still makes a lot of sense
to have multiple ways in and out.
City of Verona planning director
Adam Sayre said the city agrees.
We still think the road needs to
go in there, Sayre said.
The districts property, though,
neighbors The Coating Place,
which has plans to expand, pushing a potential road further southwest so it would not infringe on
that planned development.
We have no desire to mess
with any of that, Gorrell said.
That would put it even closer to
the 18-151 ramp, which would be
under the DOTs standard of more
than 1,000 feet for distance from
intersections with highways.
The district is having JSD Professional Services Inc. conduct

standpoint, time is on our side.

a traffic study, which Gorrell
expects the DOT would want
under any future proposal. Sayre
said that and some other behindthe-scenes discussions need to
continue before a proposal is
made.
Weve got a few things kind
of out there right now before we
sit down with WisDOT again; we
kind of want to have all of our
ducks in a row, he said.
Even if approval comes, Gorrell said there would have to be
further discussions about how

much it costs and who pays for it.
In its initial referendum budget,
the district included more than $6
million as a placeholder.
That estimate could be on
the low end, he said, but it also
assumes a four-lane boulevard
with a 120-foot right-of-way,
which he said is likely more than
would be necessary.
Thats as big as it could be,
he said.
Sayre said that the city would
not necessarily require the road

to be in immediately if a school is
built, but he noted that a potential
school building also would not
go up overnight.
Were fortunate that as of now,
from a construction standpoint,
time is on our side, he said. As
you look at the phasing of it, we
could work with the district on it.
The timeline, though, is not the
districts or citys to determine.
DOT is kind of on their own
schedule, Gorrell said. They
dont really care that we have a
referendum potentially coming
up. Their timeline is their timeline.

Heinrichs and his planner, Ron Klaas, did their
best to allay concerns of the
more than 20 people attending on VAGSAs behalf. The
two openly stated that they
would have no problem

potential future restrooms)
and noted that the parking
solution proposed by VAGSA essentially an access

discretion of the city.

about what to do about

however. Klaas suggested
no change was needed and
that a net would work just

the preliminary plat that

had been approved in the
spring.
That would create some
legal headaches and risk,
he noted, as the preliminary
plat approval entitles the
developer to get substantially similar plans approved
and quickly. State law
ensures that a final plat that
is not acted upon within 60
days (Sept. 6 in this case) is
automatically approved.
Ald. Mac McGilvray
(Dist. 1) brought up another legal problem with the
VAGSA proposal. Without
the developers consent,
he said, extending buffer
around the fields would
amount to taking land,
something he said could
not legally or ethically be

houses close enough to risk

wayward softballs landing
on private property. But
after the city attorney pointed out the citys legal limitations and the difficulty
of making changes to the
plans at this point and the
developer pointed out his
own risk in losing the last
bit of fall construction season should there be a delay
the council agreed unanimously to pass them.
The impassioned effort
and turnout were not in
vain. As city attorney Bryan Kleinmayer pointed
out, some of the groups
requests can and likely will
be addressed in a subsequent developer agreement,
which has now invited extra
scrutiny. And whether the
group installs netting, as
the developers representative suggested, or secures
some sort of land swap or
alternate solution to provide
more of a buffer for balls
batted out of either of the
two softball fields, theres
still an opportunity to make
changes.
Alders did add a single, likely inconsequential restriction suggested
by developer Tony Heinrichs: forcing a one-year
wait before permits can be
issued on the five homes
just north of the fields. That,
they hoped, would provide
some time for the Verona
Area School District, which
owns the fields, and VAGSA to work out a deal with
the developer that would
make everyone happy.
VAGSA representatives
had proposed moving those
lots to a space reserved for
parkland, and one of them
displayed the impact of
such a move on a professional-looking diagram he
posted on an easel. While
that raised some interest,
Kleinmayer noted that
such a change would make
the final plat different in
a significant way from
added condition lacked

teeth to force a compromise. He said not acting
would have given more
time for the school district
to work out a deal, and the
city could have held a special meeting later.
Linder also, like several
other alders, expressed disappointment that the school
district did not get involved
in this process sooner.
Despite the presence
Monday of school board
member Russell King, who
had asked during public
comments for time to work
out a plan with the developer, there apparently still
had been no official contact between the district
and Heinrichs and nobody
from the school district
got involved when changes could have been pushed
much more easily before
the preliminary plat was
approved in July.
Kleinmayer also indicated during the discussion
that theres no reason the
school district could not
later buy those five lots or
work out another deal with
the developer to make an
amendment to the plat.
Heinrichs has made dozens of appearances in front
of the city and town for

(3) Discussion and Possible Action
Re: Ordinance No. 16-879 Amending Section 10-1-33 Traffic and Parking Regulations on School District Grounds of the
Code of Ordinances. Motion by Stewart,
seconded by Touchett, to approve Ordinance No. 16-879 amending Section 101-33 Traffic and Parking Regulations on
School District Grounds of the Code of
Ordinances. This ordinance adds clarification and reflects the new configuration
of the Verona Area School District parking lot. Motion carried 6-0.
C. Public Works Sewer & Water
Committee
Re: AECOM Bike/Pedestrian Study Presentation. Jess Billmeyer, of AECOM,
presented the Verona Bike/Pedestrian
Study. The primary concern and purpose
of this study is to provide safe riding
and walking within the City of Verona.
Mr. Billmeyer stated that the goals of
the study were to provide better access
to the downtown area for bicyclists and
pedestrians, better access to schools,
and to connect neighborhoods. This
study looked at improvements for all
parts of the city. One of the main ideas
was to create bike loops. This is a way
to get out of downtown and out into the
neighborhoods, and back. There could
be community involvement in coming
up with names for the neighborhood
loops. Planned for next year are some
downtown intersection improvements,
including curb bump-outs at the Franklin
Street and Marietta Street intersections.
On CTH M, there are three intersections
that could be improved with pedestrian
islands for easier crossing. Construction of this project may begin at the end
of 2016. Another project is to add bike/
parking shared lanes to Edwards Street,
Basswood Avenue, Tamarack Way and
Hemlock Drive. This project is planned
for 2016. The CTH M sidewalk project
was chosen because there is no good
sidewalk connection from the south side
into downtown. The project would go
from the bridge over HWY 151 to just past
the Carnes property, and from there north
into downtown. This will be a phased
project. The last project is a path project
that runs along Badger Mill Creek. With
this path, you could cross the entire city,
while crossing only one street. This will
be a phased project, as well. There was
no action taken on this item.
Re: Amendment No. 1 to the Professional
Services Agreement with AECOM for W.
Verona Avenue USH 18/151 On-Ramp
Improvement. Motion by Touchett, seconded by Diaz, to approve Amendment
No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with AECOM for W. Verona Avenue
USH 18/151 on-ramp. This amendment
covers many small tasks that came up
during the initial project. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has made a number of additional
requests for the project. AECOM will
fulfill WisDOT requests and assist with
a geotechnical investigation at a cost
of $25,530. Construction will be delayed
until 2017. The new contract value is
$204,980. This is a pass-through amount.
Epic will eventually be picking up this
cost. Motion carried 6-0.
Re: A Developers Agreement for Cathedral Point Phase 6. Motion by Touchett,
seconded by Diaz, to approve the Developers Agreement for Cathedral Point
Phase 6. This phase includes 26 lots.
Construction of public improvements to
serve Phase 6 are scheduled to begin on
or about July 25, 2016, and to be completed on or about October 14, 2016. Motion
carried 6-0.
Alder Touchett requested unanimous consent of the Common Council to
hear item 8-C-(4) after item 8-C-(5). There
were no objections.
5) Discussion and Possible Action
Re: A Property Use Agreement with Verona Area Community Theatre, Inc. (VACT).
Motion by Touchett, seconded by McGilvray, to approve the Use Agreement
with Verona Area Community Theatre,
Inc. This agreement will facilitate con-
struction of the new VACT facility at 103

Lincoln Street. The city will purchase the
existing VACT facility at 405 Bruce Street
for $360,000 after completion of the new
VACT facility. The city will construct the
new VACT parking lot and contribute
$21,000 for demolition and site work at
the new property. Construction will begin
shortly. McGilvray withdrew his second.
Motion seconded by Diaz. Motion carried
5-0, with McGilvray abstaining.
Re: A Lease Agreement with Verona Area
Community Theatre, Inc. (VACT). There
will be no motion on this item.
Re: An Agreement with Good Shepherd
Church to Purchase Lands for CTH PD/
Northern Lights Transportation Improvement Project. Motion by Touchett,
seconded by McGilvray to approve an
Agreement with Good Shepherd Church
to purchase lands for the CTH PD/Northern Lights Transportation Improvement
Project. City Attorney Kleinmaier stated
the agreement before the council is not
a final agreement. It is similar in form
to other agreements for the purchasing
of land in this area. Motion by Touchett,
seconded by McGilvray, to convene in
closed session as authorized by Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(e) for the purpose of
deliberating or negotiating the purchase
of pubic properties, the investing of
public funds or conducting other specified business, whenever competitive
or bargaining reasons require a closed
session. The Common Council may reconvene in open session and discuss
and take action on the subject matter
discussed in the closed session. On roll
call: All Aye. The Common Council convened in closed session for this item at
7:48 p.m.
CLOSED SESSION
Motion by Diaz, seconded by
Touchett, to reconvene in open session.
Motion carried 6-0. The Common Council
reconvened in open session at 8:12 p.m.
Motion by Touchett, seconded by
McGilvray, to amend the previous motion
by adding $5,000 to Section 6(e) of the
agreement as a payment to the church.
Motion carried 6-0.
Re: A Lease Agreement with Verona Area
Community Theatre, Inc. (VACT). There
will be no motion on this item.
9. Old Business
A. Discussion and Possible Action
Re: Agreement for City Administrator
Position. Attorney Kleinmaier stated
that the Council approved an agreement,
providing some discretion to city staff
to negotiate it. The mayor and other city
staff members have brought the agreement back to the Council. It has been
signed by both parties. The agreement
falls within the scope of the discretion
that was provided in closed session,
and now is formally coming back as an
open session item. Mayor Hochkammer
stated that when the Council approved
the agreement, there was no quorum, so
everything was done by consensus, with
no official motion. We wanted the Council
to take official action on this. Motion by
McGilvray, seconded by Diaz, to approve
the Employment Agreement between the
City of Verona and Jeffrey A. Mikorski.
Motion carried 6-0.

Re: Feasibility and Participation in Recreational/ Aquatic Facility Study Agreement
with the Verona Area School District. Motion by McGilvray, seconded by Linder to
participate in a feasibility study for a recreational/ aquatic facility with the Verona
Area School District (VASD). McGilvray
stated that in 2015, the council approved
a feasibility study for an aquatic center in
the City of Verona, but it was decided not
to move forward with the study, as the
school district was interested in doing
a very similar study. The school district
broadened that study to include running,
training, cycling, fitness and others. Total
cost of the study is $85,500. The Verona
Area Chamber of Commerce will contribute $5,000. The school district is asking
that the city contribute the $15,000 we
had set aside last year for the feasibility
study we had planned. Staff is recommending that the city join the VASD in
the feasibility study. This was approved
at the Finance Committee level.
Motion carried 6-0. McGilvray stated
that the study will be regional in nature. It
is the hope of the school district to create
a destination location to bring in people
from around the area.

also practices the decorative
art of rosemaling, she wrote
in an email to the Press. She
teaches both landscape painting and rosemaling.
She said a mangletre, or
mangle board, was used for
ironing a century ago, and it
was also used as an engagement gift.
The mangletre I rosemaled was made by Mike
Lusk, Coon Valley. The
carved horse handle was the
work of my husband, Jon
Sutcliffe, Verona, she wrote.
It was painted in the Valdres
style of rosemaling. Its about

Herkert, who lives in the

the peoples choice award in

She told the Press in an
email that she was honored to
have her work chosen for an

award in rosemaling.
I love it for its beauty and
also for the connection to my

wrote. I am in studio fulltime where I share my passion for this folk art through
commission work and teaching, both private students and
in seminars throughout the
