Tecumseh council adopts One and Six Year street plan, appoints Matt Schaardt as street superintendent
Summary
The Tecumseh City Council approved its One and Six Year Plan for Street Improvements and appointed Matt Schaardt as the city's Street Superintendent for 2026, voting unanimously with one member absent.
The Tecumseh City Council adopted a resolution approving the City of Tecumseh's One and Six Year Plan for Street Improvements and appointed Matt Schaardt as Street Superintendent for Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2026.
Council Member Lorie Topp moved to adopt the One and Six Year Plan; Council Member Alicia Brommer seconded. The motion carried with the five present council members voting aye: Lance Beethe, Brian Britt, Alicia Brommer, Tyler Speckmann and Lorie Topp; Travis Goracke was absent.
The council also approved the Year-End Certification of the City Street Superintendent form after a separate motion by Council Member Tyler Speckmann, seconded by Council Member Brian Britt. That motion carried on the same 5–0 roll call.
The streets report, delivered by Doug Goracke, noted staff are working on the design for Arrowhead Drive, completing pothole repairs and preparing plows and ice-melt supplies for winter operations. The council’s adoption of the One and Six Year Plan provides the formal street-priority schedule and informs future project programming and grant applications.
The appointment names Matt Schaardt to the superintendent role for the 2026 year; the action was made by motion and approved by the council without dissent. The council did not attach additional conditions to the appointment in the minutes.
The council’s action is procedural and places the adopted plan on the city's official project schedule; next administrative steps include incorporation of the plan into project bidding and budgeting cycles and any associated grant application follow-ups.
