Blair council dedicates LGIP funds for dam repairs, approves water financing and lift-station repair
Summary
Council dedicated LGIP account #05 for Blair Mill Dam repair at the Wisconsin DNR’s request, approved two financing resolutions for the water treatment system, accepted the 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, and approved a $11,515 bid to replace a lift-station heater.
During its April 2 meeting the City of Blair Common Council moved on several water and sewer matters affecting local infrastructure and regulatory compliance.
On the Blair Mill Dam, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources requested documentation of dedicated repair funds. Councilmember J. Anderson moved to dedicate Local Government Investment Pool account #05 for dam repair and maintenance; C. Ekern seconded and the roll call vote was unanimous.
Council also approved two resolutions intended to preserve the city’s ability to be reimbursed from borrowing or grant proceeds for water treatment plant expenses: Resolution 2026-4-2-1 (Declaration of Official Intent for Water Treatment System) and Resolution 2026-4-2-2 (Resolution Declaring Official Intent to Reimburse Expenditures). Both were moved by J. Anderson, seconded by T. Palkowski, and passed on recorded votes.
The council approved the 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, the annual summary of water quality for submission to the Wisconsin DNR; Clerk/Treasurer Debra Fremstad will confirm whether the full report or a printed synopsis must be published. The council also approved a repair contract for the main lift station’s fine screen heater: three bids were received and the lowest—Sampson Heating & Air Conditioning—at $11,515 was approved on a motion by A. Stevens, seconded by T. Palkowski.
All motions on these items passed by recorded votes with no recorded opposing votes.
