Manitowoc County board drops Cato Falls paving, approves UPS purchase and funding
Summary
The Manitowoc County Board on March 17 removed a paving element from a funding resolution and approved spending to buy an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) from undesignated fund balance after a 22–1 vote on both the amendment and the final resolution.
The Manitowoc County Board of Supervisors on March 17 amended and then adopted Resolution 2025/2026-157, removing a proposed Cato Falls paving project and approving purchase of an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) funded from undesignated fund balance.
Supervisor Hansen introduced the original resolution proposing Cato Falls paving and a UPS purchase and the commitment of undesignated fund balance. During discussion, Supervisor Behnke moved to remove all references to Cato Falls paving; Supervisor Hammel seconded. The amendment carried 22–1, with Supervisor Heilman casting the lone no vote.
After adopting the amendment, Supervisor Hansen moved to adopt the resolution as amended—thereby authorizing the UPS purchase and the funding commitment without the Cato Falls paving. The board approved the amended resolution by a 22–1 vote; the transcript records Supervisor Ryan Phipps as the sole no vote on final adoption.
The record shows the board debated and voted separately on the amendment and the final adoption: the amendment succeeded first and was incorporated into the final motion. The resolution, as adopted, commits undesignated fund balance for the UPS purchase; specific dollar amounts, vendor names, timelines for procurement, and implementation details were not specified in the transcript.
The board received committee reports earlier in the meeting and then moved to this funding decision; meeting minutes and any accompanying fiscal documents are expected to provide more detail on the UPS cost and procurement steps.
