At its December meeting the Manitowoc Common Council approved a package of committee recommendations and routine resolutions.
Key approvals included: a resolution establishing election‑worker compensation for 2025; setting a primary election date of Feb. 18, 2025 if required; a declaration of official intent to reimburse certain expenditures from 2025 borrowing; a 2024 budget amendment for specified funds; and direction to execute an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) subrecipient agreement with Manitowoc County to help fund phases 2 and 3 of a water main extension.
