Parks and Recreation Director Justin Caspersen said the replacement of the single-story maintenance garage roof is included in the approved 2025 budget. He described the work as removal of the existing roof and replacement with asphalt shingles, including renovation of a dormer. Caspersen said the cemetery maintenance building stores equipment and supplies used to maintain the city's 57-acre cemetery, which includes Catholic and Lutheran sections.

The city received four bids; Caspersen said one bidder's higher price appeared anomalous but that the low bid met specifications and the contractor could complete the work promptly.

Parks and Recreation Director Justin Caspersen told the board the city received a $25,000 urban forestry grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to support the plantings. Caspersen said the project responds to emerald ash borer impacts; the city removed 75 ash trees this winter and has removed 742 trees and planted 581 since June 17, 2019. He said the locations were selected using the city's GIS tree inventory to diversify species and avoid planting any species that already comprises 10% or more of the inventory.

The Legacy Tree bid equates to about $350 per tree and includes a five-year warranty, Caspersen said. He added that the city will distribute informational door-hangers and issue a news release and social media posts to inform residents about the planting and tree-care practices. Caspersen also noted a budget resolution is still required to finalize funding in the finance department.

Board members asked about the city's existing practice of growing bare-root trees in gravel beds and the survival rate of those stockplants in high-stress street locations. Caspersen said the city already plants about 100 bare-root trees annually in less-traveled areas and uses tree protectors to reduce deer and rabbit damage. The board approved the Legacy Tree contract and authorized execution of the contract subject to standard procurement procedures.","The Board of Public Works approved the low bid from Legacy Tree to plant 62 trees for $21,700, funded in part by a $25,000 DNR urban forestry grant; the city will still require a budget resolution to finalize spending.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6126494,"Board re-adopts No Mow May program; member records lone no vote",548,347000,895000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2667963-b41c8799066fc35b6351f4c955b841a0&start=347&end=895","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2667963-b41c8799066fc35b6351f4c955b841a0/thumbnail_347000.jpg","/articles/6126494/Marshfield/Wood-County/Wisconsin/Board-re-adopts-No-Mow-May-program-member-records-lone-no-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6126494-f24cc862a648c95f628d8fdfb3a9f90b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776321864&Signature=hYXlZ3Ww5KT1IbuBhHozk0ps3s8DpwVfa5D1XjR23XBVlxUhgybO~D-8VflA6FVOzgY7lj~~lnVmd5VHYMrVZZc3isPcLMWtcInAh~6U21ODX2v18M6JoxSzTjkcd9spKyojCNXLSCaLlnTpdd79FS4wVE1BxlxDT4YgS9HyESrFXSkkJiqKxtoIc~HUpLpIDJFnnRYwk727ez3FH4191qsnnQgaIGlKd047Hqb3jpdUrpYgkCOfnVRZgGC7497QaKqw8L46bNuFNPPhCRATdoG13DgCq5M8PMvs5mrkOVcYxeoplodRQowVv-AfyggrTMXMxAX63R974-BU2jUxAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works on March 17 approved Resolution 2025-11 to designate May as No Mow May and to suspend enforcement of city weed-control rules from May 1 through May 31.

Street Superintendent Tim Rasmussen presented background, saying the city adopted the program in 2023 and 2024 and that registrants sign up through an online registry. Rasmussen reported 253 participants in 2023 and 189 in 2024 and said the program has had few weed‑ordinance problems. He told the board the program incurs little direct city cost and that other municipalities have codified similar temporary suspensions into ordinance language.

Board members discussed whether to make No Mow May permanent and whether the period should be adjusted to better match local pollination timing. One board member said recent research suggested bees emerge from the ground in May and that not mowing in May helps pollinator emergence. Another member said agricultural contacts suggested pollination in the area occurs later and proposed extending the period into June; that board member also said he would again register a formal no vote on the motion despite supporting the program's goals.

The board approved Resolution 2025-11 by voice vote; the motion carried. The street superintendent said he would, if directed, prepare an ordinance update to make the practice an annual part of city code and would provide educational material to registrants.","The Board of Public Works voted to continue the No Mow May program and to suspend enforcement of weed-control rules for May 1-31 under Resolution 2025-11; one board member announced a planned no vote despite supporting the program's goals.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6126499,"Board approves resolution to pursue state stormwater planning grant",208,117000,325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2667963-b41c8799066fc35b6351f4c955b841a0&start=117&end=325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2667963-b41c8799066fc35b6351f4c955b841a0/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6126499/Marshfield/Wood-County/Wisconsin/Board-approves-resolution-to-pursue-state-stormwater-planning-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6126499-f23d4fc8a6be17d04192b0dd85c68074/orig.mp4?Expires=1776321864&Signature=D36Uw~UNd35xBzUnlHnYBpv4nUP-3o0xGado4BbqcvOZESPzabItrk5ySMkcbS4XqwM2igqF5tVnFZYvAxvS2-JLylKYKuxeOTrFsesdlC71NiSv7O0Kn5~UI9ECCf46H-LIEuDtZwPfbmcqe-MLOHJ4w8CWmfETE9ImptYtKdowWDVIAKjDc709mXQuSe4PvmSRjQBtyuYkiya2OVq2kxLnv3Whh~6G21L3~NkeG8b70Gj2vcLBhVATk2x2nCdFNPRdFCBoOmgHr7NEF0vISgJ7tdC02fVDc0gTeOgIrqck-N9mBKDwLnukTuamN~q07YSX1~ExCatuy2onOwdQKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works on March 17 approved Resolution 2025-12 authorizing the acting city engineer to apply for an urban nonpoint source stormwater planning grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and to carry out related grant administration if awarded.

The measure, presented by Tim Cassidy, acting city engineer, would allow the city to seek reimbursement for 50% of a stormwater utility feasibility study recommended in the city’s February 2023 stormwater management plan and TMDL (total maximum daily load) report. Cassidy told the board the plan identifies best management practices — structural and nonstructural — intended to improve runoff water quality in waterways that drain to the Wisconsin River, including Mill Creek, the East Branch, the Yellow River, Beaver Creek, McMillan Creek, Shoyer Creek and the Little Old Plain River.

The resolution authorizes the city engineer to sign and submit the grant application and agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), submit reimbursement claims and reports, and complete environmental assessment forms if required. Cassidy also noted the common council previously approved a task order with Strand Associates to assist with the DNR grant application.

Board members approved the resolution by voice vote; the board chair declared the motion carries. The board referred the resolution to the common council for its consideration and any required final approvals, including grant administration and budgeting.

The action would fund only a planning study if the grant is awarded; further construction of stormwater best management practices would require separate funding actions.","The Board of Public Works voted to approve Resolution 2025-12 authorizing the city engineer to apply for a Wisconsin DNR urban nonpoint source stormwater planning grant to fund a stormwater utility feasibility study and related grant administration.","actionData","errors"]
