Summary
At its April meeting the Mayville Common Council approved several financing resolutions for 2026 infrastructure projects, awarded a fireworks contract, certified the April 7 election results and approved routine licenses and pay requests; a separate library pay policy was tabled for further review.
The Mayville Common Council on Monday approved a series of routine items including municipal financing for 2026 reconstruction projects, a contract for the city’s summer fireworks display and the certification of the April 7 spring election.
Council voted to approve Resolution 6047-2026, which the packet describes as authorizing sale/financing connected with the 2026 road reconstruction work on Maudley, Allen and Gross streets; the transcript includes a reference to a figure of 522,372 connected to the financing. The council also approved Resolution 6048-2026 authorizing revenue bonds “up to $801,219” to support water-system components of the 2026 projects. The measures were approved after a brief overview of the loan mechanism and a roll-call vote (motions by Newman and Smith on the respective items; roll call recorded ayes and motions carried).
The council approved Resolution 6046-2026, awarding a contract to Spectrum Pyrotechnics for the Rockaboo fireworks display. A separate pay request (Pay Request No. 1) for $137,248.71 to Kutester Brothers LLC for work on North Drive and associated utility extension was also approved following engineering review.
City Clerk/Executive Assistant read and the council certified the April 7, 2026 spring election results into the record and approved a resolution confirming those results. The certification included the statement that the mayoral winner was Rob Lehi with 814 votes, plus ward and write-in tallies as recorded in the packet.
Council also handled several routine administrative items: approval of the February check registry and bills, authorization to issue an RFP for the Core Street property, and a change-of-location approval for a Class A fermented malt beverage/cider license for Norma Rodriguez at 15 South Main Street, Suite B. Most of these items carried on voice vote or by standard roll call.
“We usually take advantage of it,” the clerk said in describing the low-interest state loan options used for these projects, underscoring the city’s intent to use established financing tools rather than short-term borrowing.
The meeting concluded with a motion to move into closed session to discuss the Cardinal storage unit development agreement; the council approved going into closed session by roll call.
What happens next: The council’s approvals authorize staff to proceed with contract execution, financing steps and issuance of related RFPs. The Cardinal development item will be discussed in closed session with subsequent public action possible after any required negotiations or legal review.
