Greenfield council approves Milwaukee Fire maintenance agreement and sewer relocation order
Summary
The Greenfield Common Council unanimously approved an intergovernmental maintenance agreement with the Milwaukee Fire Department for equipment repair and adopted a relocation order for a Layton sanitary sewer reroute (Project 24-10). Both votes were carried by roll call.
The Greenfield Common Council voted unanimously Dec. 2 to approve two measures affecting public works and emergency services.
Council members approved an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with the Milwaukee Fire Department to provide repair and maintenance services for the city's rescue and emergency equipment. Mayor Michael J. Nieske said the arrangement can be "the most effective cost effective alternative" when local parts inventories are obsolete and noted suburban departments commonly use similar arrangements. Alderperson Castor moved the measure and Alderperson Bailey seconded; a roll call vote recorded all members as "Aye."
Separately, the council adopted a relocation order and easement exhibits for Project 24-10, a Layton sanitary sewer reroute from 68th Street to 62nd Street. Mayor Nieske told the council that the existing sewer runs beneath the freeway, which is "not a good thing," and that the reroute is one phase of a larger, costly infrastructure effort. The motion to adopt the resolution was moved by Alderperson Druswicky and seconded by Alderperson Akers; a roll call vote recorded unanimous approval.

Context and next steps
Council members discussed cost and equipment-supply benefits of using Milwaukee's repair services and noted the sewer reroute is an expensive, multi-phase project. The record does not include specific construction schedules or detailed funding sources for either item; those details were not specified during the meeting. City staff and public works will proceed with the agreed actions and any required public notices or easement recordings.
