City Council approves hazard mitigation plan, equipment purchase and six other measures
Summary
At its July 22 meeting the City Council unanimously approved two ordinances and six resolutions, including adopting the Outagamie County Hazard Mitigation Plan and a capital budget amendment to buy a new John Deere mower. All motions were carried as recorded in the minutes.
The City Council on July 22, 2024 approved a package of ordinances and resolutions covering records retention, animal regulations, hazard mitigation, equipment purchases and event permitting.
The council voted to waive reading and approve Ordinance OR 2024-104 (Retention of Public Records) on first and second readings after a motion by Councilmember Tetzlaff and a second by Councilmember Gerbers. Councilmember VanderHeiden moved — with a second from Councilmember Hurkman — to waive reading and approve Ordinance OR 2024-105 (Animals); the motion carried.
The most substantive policy item recorded was Resolution RE 2024-149, which adopts the Outagamie County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Councilmember Tetzlaff moved to approve RE 2024-149; Councilmember Gerbers seconded, and the motion carried. The plan adoption aligns the city with the county’s hazard mitigation framework used for disaster preparedness and federal grant eligibility.
Other approved measures included Resolution RE 2024-150, an amendment to the capital budget to purchase a new John Deere mower (moved by Tetzlaff; second VanderHeiden); RE 2024-151 authorizing an Amplify Device Permit (moved by Tetzlaff; second VanderHeiden); RE 2024-152 adopting a Special Event Permit Policy (moved by Tetzlaff; second Gerbers); RE 2024-153 authorizing veterans' grave reimbursement (moved by Tetzlaff; second Schaumberg); and RE 2024-154 authorizing payment of bills (moved by VanderHeiden; second Gerbers). Each motion was recorded as carried in the minutes.
The meeting’s actions were procedural and routine in nature: motions to waive readings, approve ordinances on first and second readings, and adopt resolutions. The minutes do not record individual roll-call vote tallies for these items, only that motions carried.
The council later recessed into a closed session on a separate matter (see separate item on the sale of city property). The meeting adjourned after reconvening.
