On Sept. 23, 2024, the Joint Committee of the Whole recommended that the City Council authorize the city administrator to apply for an Environmental Improvement Fund loan to finance upgrades to the city’s wastewater treatment plant. Alderperson Gerbers moved the recommendation; Alderperson Krull seconded, and the motion carried.
The committee noted that "the loan application needs to be submitted by September 30 and is the most beneficial loan available for the Upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant." The transcript does not identify a specific speaker for that sentence; it was presented to the committee as part of the loan‑application discussion.
The motion asks the full City Council to consider authorizing the city administrator to submit the application. The committee did not adopt any budget appropriation at the meeting; it recommended moving forward with the application process so the city can pursue this funding option. The city administrator and public works staff will be responsible for preparing the application materials for council consideration.
The meeting also included routine procedural business and administrative updates; the committee adjourned after completing its agenda.
