Janesville council approves Prairie Ridge spreader purchase, hears EDA and staff reports
Summary
Council approved purchase of a new spreader recommended by the golf advisory board, approved routine consent items, and received EDA updates on a pending RFP and business programs.
Janesville — The Janesville City Council approved the purchase of a replacement spreader for Prairie Ridge golf operations after the advisory board recommended the Testman Company quote as the lower bid.
Council and staff discussed the quotes, including freight and sales-tax considerations; a council member moved to approve the purchase and the motion passed by voice vote (tally not specified in the transcript).
The council also approved the consent agenda that included minutes, receivables, and payables; staff noted a bond payment tied to a street project among the payables.
During the meeting’s staff reports and Economic Development Authority update, Caitlyn, a contract attorney with the city since March, told the council the city has an outstanding RFP to repair a retaining wall on property referred to as 109; no proposals had been received as of this meeting. She said the Wasika County EDA approved a $10,000 contribution to a regional business challenge program to help entrepreneurs and new restaurants, and that the city’s façade enhancement program awarded $1,000 prizes for qualifying exterior projects. Caitlyn also reported the farmers market closed the season with generally positive vendor feedback.
Other items: council discussed holiday hours for city offices and scheduling a personnel committee meeting during the week of Thanksgiving. The council adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
