Robert Krizhevsky, the project's principal in charge and the architect on the project, and the city's fire chief presented conceptual floor plans and exterior options and solicited council feedback.

The design team said the building’s primary goals are firefighter physical and mental health, long-term operational capacity and neighborhood fit. \"First goal would be firefighter physical and mental health,\" the fire chief said, noting design features intended for cancer-prevention, rest and recovery, and on-duty nutrition. Krizhevsky described a dedicated decontamination suite for cleaning personal protective equipment and a separate decon hall with lockers and showers so crews do not bring contaminants into dorm areas.

City and design staff said the plan includes a public-facing community room with a small kitchenette, administrative and training spaces that could support other city operations, room for additional staffing, and an IT/fiber hub. The apparatus area is drawn as a drive-through arrangement: crews would exit onto North Eighth Street and return via North Seventh and the alley. Krizhevsky said the layout shows three full apparatus bays and a smaller, half bay suitable for a response pickup or ARV.

Budget and lifecycle considerations were discussed. Krizhevsky said KA completed a feasibility analysis and the preliminary design remains within a roughly $10,000,000 feasibility target; further design development and a contractor estimate will follow. When asked about expected service life, the architect and the fire chief described a design life of \"60-plus years,\" subject to construction choices and future maintenance.

Councilors pressed for operational and material details at the conceptual stage. Councilor Harry asked whether turning radii and apron depth allowed safe exits onto Eighth Street; the architect replied the building is set back to provide required clearance. Councilor Allen asked whether the design meets the department’s wish list; the fire chief said the station is intended to meet current needs while providing space for a future second company if call volumes or staffing grow.

Roofing and solar strategy drew extended discussion. Officials said a flat roof was chosen in part to accommodate ballasted solar panels without penetrations and to reduce visible racking. Krizhevsky and the chief explained that a flat roof can simplify solar installation and avoid many roof penetrations, though standing-seam metal roofs remain an option that carries higher upfront cost and potential snow-slide concerns. The architect noted typical membrane warranties of 20–25 years and said the design team will specify manufacturers and installation standards in later design phases.

Designers described building-level energy considerations including an efficient envelope, a potential geothermal heating option, and space and infrastructure for Level 1 EV charging (480-volt fast charging was mentioned). Krizhevsky said the project is roughly 5 percent complete conceptually; the next steps are detailed design, mechanical/electrical/plumbing descriptions and formal contractor estimates.

Krzhevsky described features intended for community use and emergency response flexibility: a rentable community room operated by key code and deposit, and use as a cooling center during extreme heat events because of the building's air conditioning. The design also includes a mezzanine for low-frequency training, exterior stormwater management as required, and back-of-house storage and shop spaces.

No formal council vote on the design occurred at the meeting. Councilors were invited to submit further suggestions during the upcoming weeks while the design team completes more detailed plans and pricing.

The presentation included conceptual exterior renderings and site plans; councilors and staff will review more detailed drawings and cost estimates in follow-up briefings prior to final approvals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 15, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. - Common Council & Committee of the Whole Meeting, Superior, Wis.","oneSentenceSummary","At its July 15, 2025 meeting, the Superior Common Council heard a presentation of preliminary designs for a replacement Fire Station Number 2 that would move one block west to front on John Avenue between North Seventh and North Eighth streets, officials said.","taxTitle","Superior, Douglas County, Wisconsin","taxId",69153,"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},6168898,"Council conditionally renews CenterFolds Cabaret license pending administrative verification after closed-session review",7102,4068000,11170000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406460-ff5c3b3ff5e4ee1e406c9762e76552fe&start=4068&end=11170","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406460-ff5c3b3ff5e4ee1e406c9762e76552fe/thumbnail_4068000.jpg","/articles/6168898/Superior/Douglas-County/Wisconsin/Council-conditionally-renews-CenterFolds-Cabaret-license-pending-administrative-verification-after-closed-session-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168898-643d6167813f918c4d10b0d74dbafa7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775412607&Signature=WXqGkLrvbu7EiiWvWehXWVFuBXpxE1i52CWgGjyGSD81FQ6ftiizZAJo9UHLBwiVDwVsp2-KfWdwKFWZSZUjtc5r~klz7AcWX9iVPnuN1AH20HGtoVpVhJzViIqi3LI6MvsatOcnuLbH8XbGUXhc2pVziWBOS62FjXzAOrxAVFeRFaNISRdL1Smfr-YnpnYQd90m0K5~ABpebjw53Tow70yRYZWIp82ZZAqdvw-Rd5fZoOZarIByEfsikVvbiybfjTK8Jb~e8ABXzTrV0fnGxj~LTSU52NLZRWD8Oy8D70evDDoql39XfiXRD3hipesChAMvyZRJWl2RapXL~kvWPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Superior Common Council voted July 15 to conditionally renew the city licenses for Cameo Investments 2, LLC, doing business as CenterFolds Cabaret for the license period beginning July 2025 through June 30, 2026, contingent on the licensee demonstrating to the satisfaction of the city attorney and the city clerk that all renewal requirements have been met.

Councilors recessed to closed session on the city's attorney's advice under Wisconsin Statute section 19.85(1)(a) and (g) to discuss the licensing matter and potential legal strategy; the council reconvened in open session later in the meeting. On reconvening, Councilor Grama moved to renew the license pending the licensee's satisfactory demonstration to the city attorney and the city clerk; Councilor Sweeney seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.

One person spoke in the permitted public-comment period on the motion. Joe Ishens, who identified himself as a resident of Superior and an employee of CenterFolds since mid-June, told the council the staff had completed the 150 required training hours before the prior suspension and asked that the council renew the license so employees could keep their jobs. \"We did have the 150 hours in and completed before the liquor license was suspended,\" Ishens said. He also said staff were willing to make changes and to \"go above and beyond\" city expectations for operations.

According to the motion, the administration will consider the license renewed once the city attorney and city clerk confirm the licensee has satisfied renewal requirements. The council did not specify additional conditions in public session beyond the requirement to demonstrate compliance to the attorney and clerk.

The council announced no further action on this item at the July 15 meeting and adjourned afterward.","After convening in closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(a) and (g) to discuss licensing, the Superior Common Council voted on July 15 to renew the license for Cameo Investments 2, LLC, doing business as CenterFolds Cabaret, conditional on the licensee demonstrating to the city attorney and city clerk that renewal requirements have been ",{"_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},6168903,"Council approves Public Works Committee recommendations; allocates funds for senior-center boiler and Nemanji HVAC",210,3708000,3918000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406460-ff5c3b3ff5e4ee1e406c9762e76552fe&start=3708&end=3918","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406460-ff5c3b3ff5e4ee1e406c9762e76552fe/thumbnail_3708000.jpg","/articles/6168903/Superior/Douglas-County/Wisconsin/Council-approves-Public-Works-Committee-recommendations-allocates-funds-for-senior-center-boiler-and-Nemanji-HVAC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168903-cb4421dfcfa8402bc65b265c847ea9c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1775412607&Signature=DeFE4DsCiM4dAvTd38siprvEvoYUh3rkaI0sAYua1PRJ-1XE2LDTVpzRhET9ZMkvvfWww8sTRNYHUFhd6zS479gBQLlrWTGU-2jGly3-urCvk9M-nu8267bhxYlOUP5KtBaqvxtg20ziS1fZ9HdYTznGW2Zv6LC768KyQuezbBWEn0aJ-~4sApcmYyYHEbSMaZvRDIsoHF9XnrWgYoD~rR5YlAzLvbkD3n3SNbUQ2Me28lJ4RfmxdafmA2puZdGNafsk67A0fAGmtJ~NhTYFKjMEkMIM4~mNkQPuZ9pCwwpe~5c~C0RNahYr2BKWldfzqbDSwLT4X6~ensODPJxY7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 15, 2025 meeting, the Superior Common Council approved three recommendations from the Public Works Committee, moving forward on local street, utility and building projects and authorizing combined bidding for two building mechanical upgrades, the committee chair said. Councilor Dean, chair of the Public Works Committee, presented the report and made the motion to approve; Councilor Ludwig seconded and the motion carried.

Councilor Dean reported that work is progressing on Hammond and East Fifth projects and that Tower Avenue repairs will start in the coming weeks. Survey crews will perform work on Marina Drive near the causeway. The committee reported it recently secured a grant that could extend the Millennium Trail to Tower Avenue, and staff are advancing a Water Utility Acquisition Study and planning public meetings on traffic on Ogden, John and Banks avenues between Belknap and North 20th Street.

On the three specific action items before the council, Dean explained the recommendation to bid two building projects together. Councilor Sweeney asked for a cost breakdown; Dean directed members to the committee memo. The memo identified the Lou Martin Senior Center boiler at $65,000 and an HVAC system at Nemanji at $75,000. Dean said the buildings superintendent recommended bidding both projects together to obtain a better price than separate bids.

Other committee items listed in the report included design work for new sewers in the Woodstock Bay area and repairs in the Winter Street Sanitary District. The motion to approve the committee's recommendations was made by Councilor Dean, seconded by Councilor Ludwig, and approved by voice vote.

Councilors did not add further conditions to the approvals at the July 15 meeting, and staff will proceed with procurement and scheduling consistent with the committee recommendations.","The Superior Common Council on July 15 approved the Public Works Committee's recommendations, including moving forward on several street and utility projects and authorizing combined bidding for a new senior-center boiler ($65,000) and a Nemanji HVAC system ($75,000).","actionData","errors"]
