The Improvement and Services Committee voted Oct. 1 to enter into a state/municipal financial agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for design and construction work on Main Street (Lancome to Manitowoc/Lime Kiln Road), and authorized the director to execute the agreement.

Assistant Department of Public Works staff told the committee the estimated engineering cost is $258,000 with the state covering about $193,500 and the city responsible for roughly $64,500 (a 75/25 split). Construction was preliminarily estimated at about $1.9 million, with the state shown as picking up 100% in the draft agreement. DPW recommended approval and the committee voted to authorize the director to sign the agreement.

Committee members approved the motion without further amendment. Staff said the work is primarily pavement repair rather than full replacement and will proceed according to DOT programming and permits.
