Seymour’s Common Council on March 10 approved a series of routine and development-related items, including action on a sewer user-fee ordinance, a preliminary plat for a new planned unit development and authorization for the city administrator to sign developer agreements after closed-session consideration of tax-increment financing (TIF) assistance applications.
Mayor Greuel presided as Alderpersons Tetzlaff, Krull, Schaumberg, VanderHeiden, Hurkman and Gerbers attended. Early in the meeting Alderperson Tetzlaff moved to approve the agenda and later to approve the Feb. 24, 2025 minutes; both motions were seconded and carried.
The council adjourned briefly to meet as the utility board, where members approved Resolution RE 2025-118 authorizing the city to file applications for financial assistance from the State of Wisconsin Environmental Improvement Fund and Resolution RE 2025-119 supporting Ordinance OR 2025-103 to amend the sewer-user-fee code provision. After adjourning the utility board and returning to regular session, Alderperson Gerbers moved and Alderperson VanderHeiden seconded a motion to waive the actual reading and approve the first and second readings of Ordinance OR 2025-103 to amend Section 74-152(d)(1)(2)(a) concerning sewer-user-fee fees; the motion carried.
