The Wisner City Council approved a consent agenda and a series of routine but financially material actions during its Jan. 5 meeting.
On a motion by Councilman Barry Meyer seconded by Councilwoman Cathy Gobar, the council approved the consent agenda that included the minutes of Dec. 15 and accounts payable. Recorded totals on the minutes show Wisner Care Center payables of $233,475.72 and net December payroll for the care center of $241,151.62; City payables totaled $1,054,697.93 with net payroll $80,555.98; City/Rural Fire Board payables totaled $18,360.39. The council authorized the clerk to publish and keep itemized accounts on file for public inspection.
The council also approved Resolution No. 2026-1 designating Pinnacle Bank, Citizens State Bank and Midwest Bank as depositories for Wisner Care Center funds and authorizing named signers. Members voted to renew several certificates of deposit at Midwest Bank for 18 months at 3.50%.
Public-safety and infrastructure actions included council authorization to purchase a pedestrian-activated school crossing light at Eighteenth Street and Avenue H from Mid American Signal for $9,167; City Administrator Randy Woldt said he contacted School Superintendent Chad Boyer about the school paying half of the cost and Boyer indicated the school board would consider it.
Council also heard routine reports: utility receivables totaled $1,133.70 past due, there were no current building permit applications, and staff reported on planning commission action to correct a zoning map for Jon Greve. Councilman Barry Meyer said landowner Eric Knobbe offered 5.35 acres near the cemetery for $14,000 per acre; council agreed to place the proposed purchase on a future agenda. The meeting adjourned at 6:27 PM.
