The committee voted 4-0 to authorize the application (agenda item 25-1138). During discussion, Alder Hartstein asked whether the resolution language — which states the city “has budgeted a sum sufficient to complete the project” — meant the city had fully funded the project or was only committing the matching portion. Staff clarified the intent was to cover the local match, not to obligate full project funding prior to a grant award.

A deputy director explained that $186,805 is the city’s budgeted amount and equates to roughly 20% of the project’s estimated cost (the project estimate discussed in the meeting was approximately $900,000). Staff said TAP awards can vary — federal funding levels could be 50%, 70% or up to 80%, and the city’s application is requesting an 80%/20% split (the city providing 20% local share). Officials emphasized the city is not obligated to spend matching funds until a grant is offered and accepted; any award would come back to the council for approval along with any required budget amendments.

After that clarification, committee members agreed to move forward with the application and the resolution passed unanimously. The item will return for formal acceptance and budget amendments only if the grant is awarded.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Appleton, WI - Finance Committee on 2025-09-22 5:30 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The Appleton City Finance Committee on Sept. 22 approved Resolution 2025-12 to apply for a TAP grant to support construction of the Southpointe Powerline Trail project (target year 2029).","taxTitle","Appleton City, Winnebago County, Wisconsin","taxId",3976,"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},6462164,"Appleton to apply for TAP grant to develop citywide bike and pedestrian plan in 2026",172,199000,371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9&start=199&end=371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9/thumbnail_199000.jpg","/articles/6462164/Appleton-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Appleton-to-apply-for-TAP-grant-to-develop-citywide-bike-and-pedestrian-plan-in-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462164-d6e4701781b990f0cae138bcc50586e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770587919&Signature=LGdI3NQzkTdwlU1DfALj6n6BHZHaWYpGbF8yfW0wqu-nL8Y652oSlYhix5bQhQo18o3T-XMjA2YBXzGxpBhi5TihFgcep1Xzjkl0349r7llRbx3wWvfr~fxsd8-XktXGuDG5EdfwmtZNyfaV5RUZPkCnzzrHygkJYMdS9hi2ZhxpLdTNDoM9wJY05zTvJox~MDXvUoVDsY-UzsN4~0QSlfUwxODEpzJ~3OsPKq9u~jr95VTgQ9HU6tWz1GJrrsuvd9LXQZpe41aCcqVb7qB1gfvGnqhDJbi8ddQxWt0lGnmddoacHWAtptvh8HS1Idn2iXoi5cvwSmTBZeFP3S1WfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","APPLETON CITY — The Appleton City Finance Committee on Sept. 22 voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2025-14, directing staff to apply for a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to support development of a citywide bike and pedestrian plan in 2026.

The committee voted 4-0 to authorize staff to submit the grant application (agenda item 25-1106). Alder Fenton asked whether applying for this TAP grant could conflict with the city’s pending Safe Streets for All application; staff advised that questions about the Safe Streets application should be addressed to community development and were not resolved during the finance committee discussion.

Debbie Durrington, speaking for staff, said the grant submittal deadline is mid‑October and noted that a municipal resolution of support is a standard requirement for the TAP application. The resolution before the committee directs staff to submit the application; any award would return to the city for acceptance and for any necessary budget amendments.

The committee approved the resolution without amendment and moved on to a separate TAP application for a trail project later in the meeting.","The finance committee unanimously approved a resolution directing staff to apply for a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to fund a 2026 citywide bike and pedestrian plan; staff said the grant submittal deadline is mid‑October and the resolution simply authorizes application rather than obligating funds.",{"_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},6462169,"Committee approves sole-source purchase of niche pumps from Crane Engineering for $49,953",110,125000,235000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9&start=125&end=235","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6462169/Appleton-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-sole-source-purchase-of-niche-pumps-from-Crane-Engineering-for-49953","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462169-2f628bb41a4843a7e4be931c26049c19/orig.mp4?Expires=1770587919&Signature=cM-S6vSuZHOR7eUhPL3~w9iBVLfGRmF-oc~c~P~RbPFW9969FUmRRmS0RcKj-xUuW5weK5CwZzrgaMKAkXmOZlXZjIEAqDf-m4mS47iJKUqbdaPsv9UpDESX6der2XzRvwBQWK19RA0q02f8tR2jsnkhRPOVPFTKzzJ-bmhpDjKVf576yt10~TTNGH7P7p4JEVDr12nKO4j2b3V5XxhVis55Aya3uyhiIF2EPwHFFyxG9Wlmbja7kBCsy2prx24Ua1t-EW3micXvE4fdglJrMvbLrlBFOFEsOHgdrdqChEraLkIuBE1RIY9vzFJUfbXJ0ke47TIKtvz4ojwbJ5qtqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","APPLETON CITY — The Appleton City Finance Committee on Sept. 22 approved a sole-source purchase of two niche progressive-capacity pumps from Crane Engineering for $49,953.

The committee approved agenda item 25-1075 by unanimous voice vote, 4-0. The item was presented as a sole-source procurement due to the specialized application of the pumps and the longevity concerns staff reported about alternative, non-OEM units.

Director Stempa, who answered member questions about the procurement, said the city has used these pumps in relevant applications for years and described them as the department’s “gold standard.” Stempa said the city had tried non-OEM alternatives but they “don’t last as long.” He explained the two pumps are for different uses — one for a lower-use area of the plant (the last similar unit was replaced about 20 years ago) and one for a haul-waste program that faces harsher conditions — and that the department budgets to keep a spare on reserve.

The committee confirmed the purchase fits within existing budget capacity and voted to approve the sole-source award to Crane Engineering for $49,953.","Appleton's finance committee voted 4-0 to award a sole-source purchase of two specialized progressive-capacity pumps to Crane Engineering for $49,953, with staff saying the pumps are the department's \"gold standard.\"",{"_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},6462173,"Finance committee approves $38,000 donation to community development",69,83000,152000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9&start=83&end=152","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811879-7bce5fafe45a051d1de98a9aba1dd2f9/thumbnail_83000.jpg","/articles/6462173/Appleton-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Finance-committee-approves-38000-donation-to-community-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462173-f1e8c917b283ec057145cef456cc4519/orig.mp4?Expires=1770587919&Signature=aOHTmmzMvARwwIRwB5Wcjjn9hpb5BHWNq-7VcojagA1diYz8rf6by43NjRMCtJGBauBt6psbs5Q0hfut0EnhlNZbGr9qgrne1zxodPvb5fDxy8~23hZenJNCDKmdwrom70mnnT8Qchi1b3iez1lge~8POrUslIcllh4jITmYmjPKGSyIxM5itVCvNzllV-PPDEp6iOgUCwF6NgtRWgAtcv9GUDHPuMkjNblf~uokP4Zf3AtZR9Sb-HYoHY6xZqkGD9ahCeBP5QeuZotWwMkemBRI-S3lKyEzT~OOgT6xApEbh57QH9UL45n7TpgyVTFU-ZUksLLPnXqjrMVNvWthkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","APPLETON CITY — The Appleton City Finance Committee on Sept. 22 approved a 2025 budget amendment that denotes a $38,000 donation to the city’s community development department.

Committee members briefly noted the item “stems off of some other conversations in other committees,” and no further details or conditions were added before the vote. There were no public hearings or appearances on the item.

The amendment will be reflected in the city’s accounting following the committee’s approval and any subsequent administrative processing required to record the donation.
