Seymour council approves $8.55 million sewer bonds, Clean Water Fund agreement and routine measures
Summary
On June 9 the Seymour Common Council authorized up to $8,546,419 in Sewerage System Revenue Bonds for sewer system financing, approved a Clean Water Fund financial assistance agreement to begin Phase 1 of a wastewater treatment plant upgrade, and passed several routine capital and administrative resolutions; the transcript records motions as "carried" but does not list vote tallies.
The Seymour Common Council on June 9 approved a series of resolutions to fund wastewater upgrades and carry out routine municipal business.
Mayor Greuel presided over the meeting at City Hall Council Chambers. Alderpersons Krull, Schaumberg, VanderHeiden and Gerbers were present; Alderpersons Tetzlaff and Hurkman were absent. The meeting record shows that city department heads — including the DPW Director, the Police Chief and the City Administrator — were present but did not make formal motions in the transcript.
In utility-board business, the council authorized the issuance and sale of up to $8,546,419 in Sewerage System Revenue Bonds, Series 2025, under Resolution RE 2025-156. Alderperson Krull moved the resolution and Alderperson Vander Heiden seconded; the motion "carried," according to the transcript. The record does not include a roll-call tally or individual votes for this motion.
The Utility Board also approved Resolution RE 2025-157, authorizing a Clean Water Fund financial assistance agreement for Project No. 4714-03 to begin Phase 1 of an upgrade to the City of Seymour wastewater treatment plant. Alderperson Gerbers moved approval, Alderperson Krull seconded, and the motion carried; again, the transcript records "motion carried" but does not provide vote counts.
After reconvening the regular council, members approved three additional resolutions. Resolution RE 2025-158 concerned excess ambulance equipment from a former standby ambulance; Resolution RE 2025-159 amended the capital budget to permit a purchase described in the minutes as "purchase wrap;" and Resolution RE 2025-160 authorized payment of bills. Those motions were moved and seconded as noted in the minutes and "carried"; specific vote tallies are not specified in the transcript.
Earlier in the meeting, the council approved the evening agenda (motion by Alderperson Vander Heiden; second by Alderperson Krull) and the minutes from the May 27, 2025 meeting (motion by Vander Heiden; second by Schaumberg). The council also moved into a Utility Board session to consider the sewer bond and wastewater-project items and then reconvened as the regular council before concluding with adjournment motions.
The transcript does not record extended debate, public comment on the listed resolutions, or detailed budgetary breakdowns for the ambulance-equipment or capital-budget amendment items; where numeric or vote details were missing the article states those facts explicitly. The meeting adjourned following a final motion by Alderperson Gerbers and a second by Alderperson Vander Heiden. Clerk-Treasurer Christy Stover is listed on the minutes as the signing official.
