The vote matters because it completes routine approvals that allow scheduled community events and fills volunteer seats on city committees.

Council accepted the minutes of the March 24, 2025, common council meeting; approved a temporary alcohol beverage license for the Reedsburg Pirates baseball team to cover summer home games in 2025; and appointed Stephanie Hassler to the Historic Preservation Committee, Janice Laskin as an alternate on the Historic Preservation Committee, and David Zeller to the Parks and Recreation Committee. Councilmember Sean Dietrich moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Mason Scholten and the vote carried unanimously.

Separately, Mayor David Esis read and presented a proclamation designating May 11–17, 2025, as National Police Week in Reedsburg, citing President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 proclamation that established May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and that week as National Police Week. Esis said the city had sent flowers to the funeral of former public works director Bill Meyer and recognized Meyer’s long service while asking the community to support his family.

No council amendments or substantive debate accompanied the consent items or the proclamation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Reedsburg City Council | Apr. 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Reedsburg Common Council approved its consent agenda, appointing members to several boards and granting a temporary alcohol license; Mayor David Esis proclaimed May 11–17, 2025, as National Police Week in Reedsburg.","taxTitle","Reedsburg, Sauk County, Wisconsin","taxId",70633,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6061156,"Utility commission reports hydrant flushing and Second Street water main work",56,865000,921000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571&start=865&end=921","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571/thumbnail_865000.jpg","/articles/6061156/Reedsburg/Sauk-County/Wisconsin/Utility-commission-reports-hydrant-flushing-and-Second-Street-water-main-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6061156-7004a03262de9794ab8197c950efd5eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434402&Signature=Vbfm6Xk9IWFqeWPlmlzxYQc0BR4sPa4h6Nc4kAt-6XNqmbC8NvUPYwWEI9-1gyEQksZk8oLQtYbz10m97WQveGjlEfcBMqLYIwNtjZAtjcmdB1JXCtmV8ekKf4kaJfyYQocTJPj7JJtmL0MF-1HpWiw2yklwTEtTEcla407JIRQEk3ATwHNvmlXasg~obA8p2SxanwSJGx53nyVX2ASlZKuDpgEI7Z9jeZqojDRMr7VK~-376l2T0Ktp~RkogkOBqjAKA-exTzddVb4mvNyiyhhRxeojtyai6Lg42A6MjTjnrKALk5KHeRuFLxD6aACXEyz-RMgynGlLMzDSS~b~oQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Reedsburg Utility Commission reported operational updates at the April meetings: hydrant flushing is underway, Second Street water main replacement work had started or was scheduled to start that day, and phase one of the Whitten reconnect project is making good progress.

These updates matter to water customers because hydrant flushing can temporarily affect water clarity and pressure, and the Second Street water main replacement is a localized construction project that may affect service and traffic in that corridor.

A utility representative recognized outgoing commissioner Mike Gargano for nine years of service and welcomed Jake Coomer to the commission. Staff also recognized communications technician Chad Lueder for five years of service. The water department confirmed hydrant flushing operations and the impending Second Street main replacement; staff said they were preparing for the replacement work and coordinating related construction activities.

The commission reported that phase one of the Whitten reconnect project is progressing satisfactorily and that the utility is recruiting fiber line workers and communications technicians to support ongoing infrastructure work. No formal council action was requested at the meeting; the report was informational and noted operational status and staffing needs.","The Reedsburg Utility Commission reported hydrant flushing operations, initiation of a Second Street water main replacement and progress on phase one of the Whitten reconnect project at its April meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6061161,"Council adopts no-parking ordinance for Nineteenth Street near hospital",180,596000,776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571&start=596&end=776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571/thumbnail_596000.jpg","/articles/6061161/Reedsburg/Sauk-County/Wisconsin/Council-adopts-no-parking-ordinance-for-Nineteenth-Street-near-hospital","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6061161-6a690306fcaf29b63d60dd393ce40c09/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434402&Signature=EV6gdreRS-TrXr-PlE-bKD66iU3oS8MyrlS-u~L3-67KL83LqnW1m5lP8NbwWcuwwbtvpT-cO71hlybnFNvukZvdVv3RMdGrbosCwlbQoFZjL1jR-niH9E26mHjcP~hdKtl73sdAAoGCh5d1f3VZwxz1AgkhTQ2jU~V~wHi2bo02KHnnHYTp0C~ydnzzqQn1goeGxnwO9U39m0-0e86EUhgDPVY3yFjmKtGmKTXWsTZ0L8w0SDZkTOuqQhOJvFvFWBTCVQkED5ZiquU-llJD7JH4sczknKC2Vp1psSXtqXXa6WS16SGUwZkvcO1VMRq3sPTsKCDq1q-WArTCclrLFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Reedsburg Common Council adopted Ordinance 18-78-25 on April 20, 2025, establishing new no-parking zones on Nineteenth Street between North Dewey Avenue and North Viking Drive.

The measure addresses reported parking congestion near the hospital and adjacent apartment buildings; council discussion focused on whether the hospital supported the restriction and how alternate-side winter parking rules would be affected for nearby residents.

Public works staff provided background that parking complaints had been reported for the area and that earlier informal measures had reduced issues. Councilmember Phil Peterson moved to approve the ordinance and Councilmember Sean Dietrich seconded; the council held a public hearing with no members of the public speaking for or against the change and then voted to approve the ordinance.

Council discussion included a question about whether the hospital had been consulted; public works staff said the city had been proactive in addressing parking concerns. Another council member asked how alternate-side winter parking would be affected near the apartment buildings; staff did not provide specific timing changes at the meeting and said the city would manage winter operations under the existing alternate-side rules.

The ordinance adds the specified no-parking segments to Reedsburg Municipal Code (title and section listed in the ordinance) and the council did not attach additional amendments or implementation instructions during the meeting. Public works staff will handle signage installation and enforcement scheduling.","The council passed Ordinance 18-78-25 to add no-parking zones on Nineteenth Street between North Dewey Avenue and North Viking Drive following a public hearing and council discussion about neighborhood parking impacts.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6061166,"Council adopts ordinance increasing permitted chickens after public hearing",187,408000,595000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571&start=408&end=595","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571/thumbnail_408000.jpg","/articles/6061166/Reedsburg/Sauk-County/Wisconsin/Council-adopts-ordinance-increasing-permitted-chickens-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6061166-a37b12d26eaafaaa4ba1a3b6aefabf6b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434402&Signature=VJhKqs6iOYjPT7Frptieu5h930F-1gxkvkR8K084c-qa4~SW-uSdsOjdwE0ZnVYiAmBAzrwVv0TQgDwxR0zeYYArAHevAljEzYVGHa-Z5TuY3SXOn1lY-ibi0451XkMGsxEKdWB-sgKVZXHaNfrci1rodbT5mYC-F19jfdQjrqV4tTeYTLUv0RZB1RO1yEVQW6KP~orqUKzxnmBOpmgdjd1dtcCIgjmIWcJvpvYLPaB2LgqZQk2KlIGPDxlGT1vLH9WUNPLThCCtrFDkSs~4T9WRMoLIzoEHLg32lEkDhJMDORRa88n3j8xj~9S9W6xhR7oS5eswEh2FljWrf6SUqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Reedsburg Common Council adopted Ordinance 18-77-25 on second reading on April 20, 2025, amending Reedsburg Municipal Code section 690-46(g) to increase the number of chickens permitted and to make other related changes.

The ordinance changes matter to residents who keep backyard poultry because the amendment legalizes higher flock sizes for people who requested the change and because it clarifies the city’s regulations on keeping chickens.

Council staff introduced the ordinance and confirmed that the change was requested by at least one resident; after news of the proposal, additional residents contacted city staff saying they already kept the larger flock and wanted the rules aligned with practice. The council opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke for or against the ordinance. Councilmember Mason Scholten moved for approval; the motion was seconded by Councilmember (Hyde) and the ordinance passed on roll call.

During the roll call, Mayor Moon recorded a \"no\" vote; councilmembers Hyde, Schulte, Dietrich, Friends, Peterson, Coomer and Bauer recorded \"aye\" votes. No amendments were made during the council discussion at the meeting.

The ordinance will modify the municipal code as described in the title line (Ordinance 18-77-25). The city did not announce additional implementation steps or an effective date at the meeting; staff typically publish ordinances and effective dates in the city clerk’s records following adoption.","On second reading, the Reedsburg Common Council amended city code to increase the number of allowed chickens and related provisions after a public hearing with no speakers opposed.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6061171,"Council approves low bid for Allegiance Park splash pad; adds shade and ADA bench",600,335000,935000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571&start=335&end=935","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3285979-04456e9f5c2634d809593baad0b76571/thumbnail_335000.jpg","/articles/6061171/Reedsburg/Sauk-County/Wisconsin/Council-approves-low-bid-for-Allegiance-Park-splash-pad-adds-shade-and-ADA-bench","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6061171-046cffa94634560682ea4590d3df4dda/orig.mp4?Expires=1770434402&Signature=BAlz97lL5~meheYG7sFa7HNV2r~9T1KEe4TeK8cDIbXWnIDxvjL73t58SfNQOUtfWmi1rv5w68d8ssSAu3uVLvf75vq6FooT~YLGrq3oqh14Qqke79juiEpivRurPvG-d8ghQme~N59~D1YpMvElZanuhT3FXnkMrg-hEWYKlZyAiWwKrqh7JpzruVqot79SMytzz~~Hhdv1C13r1ZUe~Yp6BePGL5bnhY1bLmwOl5eglMMpsT6n8-qicOgdJbUMAq15ezrYojk~2mbAHYu1gZaGiATATrVm49cFyiM3x1DhLCy5xS6lFMVUxtTxC0cZOiwTWbb~uZjqqZSPYsR2GA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Reedsburg Common Council approved the low bid for the Allegiance Park splash pad and accepted limited design additions after hearing a parks committee recommendation on April 20, 2025.

The council’s action matters because the splash pad is a donor-funded park amenity for the northwest recreation area; council discussion said the project remains under budget, enabling added accessibility and comfort features without additional city funding.

Matt Scott, parks staff, told the council the low bid was favorable and recommended approval. \"It was a great bid,\" Scott said before Councilmember Phil Peterson moved to award the contract to Redeem Associates as the low bidder. Peterson’s motion was seconded and carried; Councilmember Tim Becker recorded an abstention on the final vote.

Parks committee members reported the lower bid allowed the committee to add a shade structure, an ADA bench and redesign bike racks and adjacent concrete to improve circulation. Officials said those additions were coordinated with MSA, the project designer, and that donor funding covered the extra features.

The council’s minutes record the mover as Councilmember Phil Peterson and the seconder as (unnamed in the motion line) with an abstention by Tim Becker; the motion passed. Council and parks staff indicated construction equipment has arrived and that schedule and contractor start dates will follow standard city contracting procedures.

City staff said the project remains under the donor-funded budget estimate supplied earlier by MSA; no new city budget appropriation was reported during the meeting. The council did not set a construction start date at the meeting.

The parks committee will continue coordinating remaining design details and construction scheduling with the awarded contractor and project designer.","The Reedsburg Common Council approved the low bid for an Allegiance Park splash pad and authorized design additions after receiving a lower-than-expected bid and donor funds.","actionData","errors"]
