Mayville City Council sets new meeting times and discusses ongoing projects

A significant shift in property assessment practices was a key topic at the July 14, 2025, Common Council meeting in Mayville, Wisconsin. Mayor's report highlighted a notable decline in property values, prompting the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to conduct its own assessments in August to ensure alignment with the city’s evaluations.

In addition to the assessment discussions, the city administrator provided updates on various administrative functions. A reimbursement application for tornado cleanup costs was submitted to the Wisconsin disaster fund, and ongoing projects, including the wastewater treatment plant and highway improvements, were discussed. The administrator also mentioned the city’s efforts to enhance health insurance plans and the transition to AT&T Mobility for first responders, aimed at improving emergency communication.

The meeting also addressed upcoming changes in council meeting times, with a motion passed to shift regular meetings from 7 PM to 6 PM, reflecting a commitment to better accommodate community participation.

As the city prepares for future challenges, including budget planning for 2026, the council remains focused on maintaining transparency and efficiency in its operations. The next series of committee meetings is scheduled for July 28, where further discussions on city projects and initiatives will take place.
