Summary
At its March 19 meeting the Middleton City Council approved the consent agenda, youth council nominations, accepted the FY2024 audit and authorized a trial code‑enforcement specialist; several other items were presented for information or directed to return with pricing or ordinance language.
At its March 19 meeting the Middleton City Council recorded these formal actions and outcomes:
• Consent agenda (items a–e): Approved by voice vote. The consent agenda motion to approve items a through e was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
• Youth Council nominations: Council approved the final list of youth council members proposed by the nomination committee. Councilman David Murray noted nominations were light at the high‑school level and asked that the council accept all nominations to get the council started; the motion to accept the nominations passed by voice vote.
• Acceptance of fiscal‑year 2024 audit: Auditors from Ziegert John Associates presented the FY2024 audit and the council voted to accept the audit as presented. The auditors reported no reportable findings and highlighted fund balances, a USDA loan balance and an outstanding gravel exchange receivable tied to the roundabout.
• Authorization to implement code‑enforcement program (trial): The council authorized the mayor to implement a comprehensive code‑enforcement program within the Middleton Police Department and to hire a code‑enforcement specialist on a trial basis (May–September) with start‑up costs to come from discretionary funds; ongoing annual costs to be considered in next year’s budget.
Several agenda items were informational or had extended discussion but did not result in a finalized contract at the meeting. Notably, the council reviewed and generally endorsed a concept design for the Middleton roundabout monument and asked the design team and staff to return with pricing, contract/ordinance language and both live and artificial planting options for comparison.
