Greenfield council adopts county hazard mitigation plan, approves new generator and several transfers
Summary
On April 21 Greenfield's Common Council adopted the Milwaukee County hazard mitigation plan, approved purchase and installation agreements for a new law‑enforcement generator, and approved bond and fund transfers related in part to last August's storm damage; timelines and amounts were discussed on the record.
The Greenfield Common Council on April 21 adopted the Milwaukee County hazard mitigation plan, approved purchase and installation agreements for a new emergency generator for law enforcement, and approved multiple budget transfers related to prior storm damage and routine project accounting.
Mayor and staff framed the actions in the context of last August's flooding, which the mayor said caused about $900,000 in municipal damage and for which FEMA had rejected the city's reimbursement request as of the meeting. "We need to do this," the mayor said when urging adoption of the county mitigation plan.
On the generator, staff told the council there is an estimated four‑to‑five‑month backlog for fabrication, and an additional four‑to‑six‑week backlog for installation once the unit is available. Acting chief Lindtorm quipped about the old unit, and council approved both the purchase and the installation agreements by roll call votes.
Council also approved a transfer of bond proceeds from project EN2219 to project EN2204 and a transfer from the storm‑sewer fund to the recycling fund to balance accounts ahead of the audit. The meeting record listed the bond‑transfer amount as "$33,4318" and the storm‑sewer transfer as "$163,57846"; those figures were read as recorded on the agenda and should be verified in the official fiscal documents. Council approved these transfers by roll call, and staff said some transfers were related to costs from the August storm damage.
