The Common Council of the City of Fennimore on April 17, 2025 elected Alder Dave Streif as Council President and approved a slate of organizational and financial actions, voting unanimously on each item.
Mayor Ryan Boebel called the meeting to order at 5:11 p.m. After ensuring a six-member quorum (Alder Day appeared by phone), the council approved proof of public notice presented by the City Clerk-Treasurer and adopted the meeting agenda.
The council approved Resolution 2025-04-15A and Resolution 2025-04-15B to close Tax Incremental District (TID) #4 and TID #5. Both motions were moved and seconded by council members and carried on roll call votes, 6-0. The resolutions were listed in the packet by number; the council did not provide further financial detail in the minutes.
On financial matters, the council approved claims totaling $659,519.19 with the packet listing breakdowns by fund: City bills $195,813.19; Utility bills $166,328.78; Sewer bills $291,587.22; TIF-CDBG bills $5,790.00; Capital Projects $0. The minutes also list gross payroll amounts for 03/21/2025 ($63,232.35 total) and 04/04/2025 ($60,940.29 total).
Other organizational and routine approvals included designating Clare Bank as a public depository and naming the Fennimore Times as the official newspaper for required publications; approving the 2025 commissions, boards, authorities and subcommittees spreadsheets; and confirming Mayor Ryan Boebel as Chairperson of the City Plan Commission. The council approved operator licenses for Crystal Stivarius and Christine Jacobson, awarded a Memorial Building carpet bid to Gobin and Allion Center for $9,737.81, approved a Delta 3 Engineering invoice for $865, and approved a lease with Marsden Park for the city's tennis courts. All listed motions carried 6-0.
The council also voted to adopt the Plan Commission’s recommended architectural design for a library expansion. The minutes record the motion and unanimous approval but do not include the architectural firm or the project’s budget in the text.
The meeting adjourned at 5:47 p.m. on a motion by Alder Adam, seconded by Alder Dave Streif.
Notes: The minutes cite proof of public notice “as required by Section 19.84, Wis. Stats.” The packet lists resolution numbers and monetary figures where noted; where the minutes do not provide additional detail (for example, specific budget or contract terms beyond amounts listed above), those details were recorded as “not specified” in the council minutes.
