Summary
The Common Council unanimously approved resolution 2025-10 authorizing the signature municipality to exceed levy limits for Neenah Menasha Fire and Rescue’s 2026 fiscal year; council president said the authorization is a cooperative benefit and not an obligation to use.
The City of Neenah Common Council unanimously approved resolution 2025-10 Wednesday authorizing the signature municipality to exceed levy limits for Neenah Menasha Fire and Rescue’s 2026 fiscal year.
Council President Borchardt presented the joint finance and personnel committee recommendation and moved approval; the motion passed 9-0 on council voting devices. Borchardt described the authorization as a routine, cooperative measure that allows the participating municipalities to exceed revenue limits if needed, but emphasized “it doesn’t mean we have to use it.”
The resolution stems from the Neenah Menasha Fire & Rescue joint finance and personnel committee meeting on Sept. 30, 2025. Borchardt said both participating councils will vote; the authority provides flexibility tied to the cooperative arrangement, according to his remarks.
The meeting record did not specify an amount or whether the city intends to use the authority for FY2026. No further details on budgetary impacts were presented during the council session.
