Planning Director Zurich described the site as roughly 4.4 acres on a new road paralleling Winter Street near the Kestrel location, with a cul-de-sac at the end. Zurich said Hanco Utilities — a contractor that performs underground boring, utility installation and related services — plans a modest office building and outdoor equipment pads as a central location for operations.

Zurich described the company’s local presence and estimated employment “about 50 to maybe 75 employees,” with a building of roughly 7,000–8,000 square feet and an anticipated construction start in October. He told the council the redevelopment assistance package would include a land sale and tax-increment financing or rebate components; staff described the overall project as “about a million dollar project.” Some precise dollar figures mentioned during the presentation were unclear in the record; staff indicated details are in the redevelopment authority report the council approved.

Councilors voted in favor of the cooperation agreement on a voice vote.","The council approved a cooperation agreement with the Redevelopment Authority to support Hanco Utilities’ planned site in the Winter Street industrial park; staff described a roughly 4.4-acre site, a 7,000–8,000-square-foot office building, and plans to retain about 50–75 employees, with construction expected to begin in October.",{"_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},6193400,"Superior awards $512,288 sidewalk contract and $614,007 storm/sewer contract",38,2217500,2255980,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3867322-cd7256ca830632075a0abf2560d869bb&start=2217&end=2255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3867322-cd7256ca830632075a0abf2560d869bb/thumbnail_2217500.jpg","/articles/6193400/Superior/Douglas-County/Wisconsin/Superior-awards-512288-sidewalk-contract-and-614007-stormsewer-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193400-e5c51d55aa34473409368a3bff880a22/orig.mp4?Expires=1771222868&Signature=CbOUONV8XCBjHloXVfbeJ-nARHO2NRQLbYk1SERnJvesnAKjihH-Kw~ZyAZjnvRuF-MvGN0DUCSe1oNS4x8~25fp5TxqdrqypxZax9M~hte5FWUZ6WXVBHIhcJgXj74b9F5OHLpGv-yq13NP5M0hS5vfbFN7yjruFoFSGgDbYt342~hLstcq5HuKRt2AEwcTT3ogCTzOYoMjw65KMgbS2DsEPf4GZ1FIltNHplyaF~54KuCESYEe9m6StFNi7rOzXlIkx5d12C1M69MY-1zEeaQwyiujLnk8gOsFFpUImAQatzXwKiTk4FfplGB~8uaR0Zrm6aUQ6662nfamChB9MQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Superior awarded two public-works contracts during the council meeting: $512,288 to Chippewa Concrete for concrete sidewalk and alley repairs, and $614,007 to PCI Roads of St. Michael, Minnesota, for the K Street storm sewer reconstruction and a second-street relief sewer control structure.

Assistant Public Works Director Janigo recommended awarding the sidewalk and alley repair contract to Chippewa Concrete in the amount of $512,288; the council approved the award on a voice vote. Public Works Director Goetzmann recommended awarding the K Street and relief-sewer contract to PCI Roads for $614,007; that award also passed on voice vote.

Councilors asked how the $614,007 contract would be charged across funds. Staff explained the work includes two projects about 100 feet apart along East Second Street: a stormwater pipe lining tied to Marina Drive washout (charged to the stormwater enterprise) and a headworks/diversion structure related to wastewater capacity (charged to the wastewater fund). Staff said the wastewater portion is about $500,000 and the stormwater portion is roughly $114,000 and that there remains sufficient stormwater utility balance to cover planned 2013 projects after incoming payments later in August.

Councilor McKenzie requested a specific remaining-balance figure for the stormwater enterprise; staff said they would provide that number to councilors. Both awards proceeded after council discussion and passed on aye voice votes.","The City of Superior awarded a $512,288 contract to Chippewa Concrete for sidewalk and alley repairs and a $614,007 contract to PCI Roads for K Street storm sewer reconstruction and a relief sewer control structure, with staff saying the larger contract will be split between stormwater and wastewater funds.",{"_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},6193405,"Superior council approves revised 2012–2013 general fund budgets, proposes 3.8% levy for 2013",1904,310480,2215290,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3867322-cd7256ca830632075a0abf2560d869bb&start=310&end=2215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3867322-cd7256ca830632075a0abf2560d869bb/thumbnail_310480.jpg","/articles/6193405/Superior/Douglas-County/Wisconsin/Superior-council-approves-revised-20122013-general-fund-budgets-proposes-38-levy-for-2013","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6193405-520ee65110d4304a4c2ea1ea8d555bf1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771222868&Signature=dOZDOaCxCB~HjDODyfhqIBBWtt3KVcKxKnyoUTsWcAFbm1HhPlQ22267kVdWQWyGNumAPPa-N9smqBdkNXHt8I9BqgxRVMaJuQfJh94fpYtI9~0Ph~CeGz2VTn4lk2qBrcw2dhsOqFz3DnEr~C8oTZ~aE1Rs5H0TUcZ1kBswCIKlVSQ7Bm3f~EFqKD9248s9o~Lj9qZMCAuUcXvMPEmvtaPrEImCmJKvQthfZGBFQ29vFdBLJvmTO1-LPLDVcnwLB9Iv67Rliq01IM9j~NGUQW0JjJe1yQ-iszhscOGFNwy1Thuv8PkPBPqT9OxFqeS6pEKoR5Yqumay376zp41o8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Superior City Council approved revised 2012 and 2013 general fund budgets after a staff presentation that recommended a 3.8% levy increase for 2013 to cover service costs and maintain contingency funds.

Finance Director Vito and budget staff presented adjustments that reflect largely flat revenues and modest cost increases. “Each 1% of levy increase provides $113,000,” Finance Director Vito said during the presentation. Staff said reductions in positions and service realignments have helped hold overall spending but that without a levy increase further cuts would be necessary.

Budget staff told the council they originally estimated a 10% health insurance increase for 2013 but later reduced that to 5% based on claims experience and then learned rates could be held flat. “We can actually hold those rates the same for 2013,” Jean said, adding that the change frees about $160,000. Council staff adjusted the contingency line from $81,000 to $243,000 and asked the council to retain the larger contingency as a buffer against unexpected 2012 and 2013 costs.

The presentation included fiscal context: the general fund has been essentially flat since 2008, with an average annual increase of 1.59% over the last 14 years and debt service for 2013 projected at 6.4% of the budget. Staff said the capital improvement program has received new dedicated revenue from a terminal tax, which reduced the general fund transfer to CIP for 2013 and allowed some projects to be deferred because of flood-related emergency work.

Councilors asked for clarification about several items: which capital projects were delayed (Central Avenue work was cited as deferred while flood response took priority); the split of a planned $614,007 contract between stormwater and wastewater funds (staff said roughly $500,000 related to wastewater headworks and the remainder to stormwater); and the likely tax impact to property owners (staff said the 3.8% is the city portion and estimated about $30.80 per $1,000 of assessed value for the city portion only, but that final bills depend on school and county levies and assessed values).

Staff also noted separate disaster-recovery planning: the city has a state trust fund loan application to issue up to $5,000,000 for flood-related repairs if needed and will work with FEMA to recover eligible costs; any debt service tied to that borrowing would appear in future budgets. The environmental services report and forthcoming discussions on wastewater and stormwater were flagged as likely to bring additional rate and budget proposals to the council in the fall.

After discussion, a motion to approve the revised 2012 and 2013 budgets passed on voice vote.","The City of Superior City Council approved revisions to the 2012 and 2013 general fund budgets and advanced a 3.8% levy for 2013, with staff citing flat revenues, a boosted contingency after lower-than-expected health insurance costs and potential FEMA/state disaster debt.","actionData","errors"]
