Milaca approves sign advertising, prepares $5,000 grant outreach for Milaca Junction planning
Summary
Council approved a four-week $158 digital sign ad to promote the Milaca Junction Addition and heard that a $5,000 Empowering Small Cities Grant will fund outreach at the Pizza Bowl and Homecoming to solicit resident input about the Junction planning.
The Milaca City Council on Sept. 19 approved a four-week digital sign advertisement to promote the Milaca Junction Addition and reviewed outreach plans tied to a $5,000 Empowering Small Cities Grant.
City Manager Tammy Pfaff described a four-week advertising offer for $158 from a sign by Pease and asked whether the city wanted to proceed or wait for another sign; the council approved spending for four consecutive weeks and discussed using Economic Development Corporation (EDC) funds to cover the cost. Mayor Dave Dillan described grant-funded outreach: the University-provided $5,000 Empowering Small Cities Grant will be used to gather resident input at events such as the Pizza Bowl and at Homecoming (Oct. 4), with trivia and giveaways planned to encourage participation. Dillan said staff would tally results from both events to inform long- and short-range planning for the Milaca Junction Addition, a study area bounded roughly by Hwy 169, Hwy 23, County Road 2 and the new property.
The council approved the sign advertising by motion; no additional funding commitments beyond the $158 advertisement and the $5,000 grant were recorded in the minutes.
