City Council approves bids posting for Morrow Street project, adopts software, police wage and cemetery resolutions
Summary
On March 24, 2025, the City Council voted to post bids for the Morrow Street Reconstruction and Woodland Water/S. Main Sewer projects, change the city's financial software provider, set starting wage options for part-time police officers, and adopt rules for cemetery lot decorations. Vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
The City Council convened at City Hall Council Chambers on March 24, 2025, with Mayor Greuel presiding, and approved a series of motions moving city projects and administrative changes forward.
Alderperson Gerbers moved to approve the meeting agenda, seconded by Alderperson Tetzlaff; the motion carried. The council then approved the minutes from its March 10, 2025 meeting on a motion by Alderperson Krull, seconded by Alderperson VanderHeiden.
The council temporarily adjourned to sit as the utility board to consider utility-related business. While meeting as the utility board, the body approved Resolution NO RE 2025-125 (McMahon) to post the Morrow Street Reconstruction and the Woodland Water/S. Main Sewer projects for competitive bids. Alderperson Tetzlaff moved the resolution and Alderperson Gerbers seconded; the motion carried. The utility board then adjourned and the council reconvened.
Back in regular session, the council approved three additional resolutions. Alderperson Schaumberg moved, and Alderperson Gerbers seconded, approval of Resolution NO RE 2025-126 to change the city's financial software company; the motion carried. Alderperson Krull moved, and Alderperson Gerbers seconded, approval of Resolution NO RE 2025-127 concerning starting wage options for the position of part-time police officer; the motion carried. Alderperson Gerbers moved, and Alderperson Hurkman seconded, approval of Resolution NO RE 2025-128 establishing general regulations for lot decorations in the cemetery; the motion carried.
The transcript records that all motions —carried— but does not provide vote tallies or specific implementation details: the new financial software vendor name and contract terms were not specified, the exact starting wage amounts for part-time police officers were not listed, and the cemetery regulation text was not included in the record. The council concluded the meeting during press time when Alderperson Gerbers moved to adjourn, seconded by Alderperson Tetzlaff; the motion carried. The minutes were signed by Clerk-Treasurer Christy Stover.
Next steps: Resolution NO RE 2025-125 directs staff to post the listed projects for bids (details to appear in the bid documents); the transcript does not specify deadlines for posting, bid opening dates, or which department will manage procurement.
