City Council approves 2025 utility budgets, capital plan, tax levy and library appointments
Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved multiple 2025 budgets and related resolutions — including water and sewer utility budgets, the capital improvement plan and the 2024 tax levy — and confirmed appointments to the library board; vote tallies and dollar amounts were not specified in the transcript.
The City Council met Nov. 25 at City Hall Council Chambers and approved a series of resolutions setting 2025 budgets, establishing the city’s tax levy and confirming library board appointments.
The council first recessed into a convened Utility Board session, where the body approved Resolution NO RE 2024-174 to adopt the 2025 Water Utility Budget and Resolution NO RE 2024-175 to adopt the 2025 Sewer Utility Budget. Alderperson Tetzlaff moved the water budget approval, seconded by Alderperson Gerbers; Alderperson Hurkman moved the sewer budget approval, seconded by Alderperson Gerbers. Both motions "carried" as recorded in the minutes; the transcript does not include dollar amounts or a roll‑call vote tally for either resolution.
After returning to the regular council meeting, the council approved a package of additional resolutions. Those actions included accepting the Library Levy (Resolution NO RE 2024-171); adopting 2025 non‑represented wages (Resolution NO RE 2024-172); setting the 2024 tax levy (Resolution NO RE 2024-173); approving the 2025 Capital Improvement Budget (Resolution NO RE 2024-177); approving an engineering proposal for Morrow Street (Resolution NO RE 2024-178); and appointing members to the Library Board (Resolution NO RE 2024-179). Movers and seconders were recorded for each motion (see timeline). Each motion was recorded as carried; the transcript does not provide levy rates, budget totals, personnel wage figures, names of library appointees, the engineering firm or the cost and scope of the Morrow Street proposal.
Mayor Greuel presided with Alderpersons Krull, Schaumberg, Tetzlaff, Hurkman and Gerbers present; Alderperson VanderHeiden was absent. Administrator Sean Hutchison was noted as present; Clerk‑Treasurer Christy Stover signed the adjournment. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that was moved by Alderperson Tetzlaff and seconded by Alderperson Gerbers.
The council’s actions were routine, recorded as motions carried. Where the transcript omits numerical details or a roll‑call tally, those specifics are listed in this report as "not specified." For any matter requiring more detail (project scopes, levy rates, budget totals, named appointees), the minutes or staff reports retained with the city clerk should be consulted.
