Nate Stoermer, Fire Chief provided an update to the council on the Board of Works approval for him to purchase a Rescue Apparatus. He stated that they would be looking to receive this truck in 2027 around the same time we would receive the truck that was purchased previously. Nate stated that he work working on financial plans to cover the cost of the trucks upon their delivery in 2027.
Zach Wirrig, Public Projects Director talked to the council about the approval from the board of works that he received for the Schutte Excavating- Washington Street Change Order Revision. The original change order was approved in June for the city and the church that is located beside the cities parking lot to work together on upgrading the parking lot. However, that has not happened and he requested that the change order to be revised to reflect $99,429.70 for work to be done to the cleanup and rework to be done to the brick work that was put in before on Broadway Street, Stormwater work, and work to be completed on the curb ramps on Broadway Street between Washington St and SR 46. The work that needs to be done on the cities parking lot is still a possibility but will not be part of this project.
Zach stated the Washington Street project is coming along. He mentioned that in the next few weeks they will be announcing closures and possible re-routes for the contractor to complete the ending of the project.
Mayor Marsh reminded the public that both the Board of Works & City Council Meetings will occur on September 3rd at their original times.
