Harbor Beach council approves wastewater equipment upgrade and names interim city manager

Mayor Kevin Guitar called a special meeting of the Harbor Beach City Council to order at 7:00 p.m. on June 29, 2026, and the council approved the agenda before taking up two unanimous votes.

The council adopted Resolution 2026-39, described in the proceedings as “A Resolution approving the purchase and installation of two variable frequency drives and line suppressors for rotor numbers 3 & 4 at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.” Committee member Woodward moved the measure and Committee member Capling seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The resolution authorizes the purchase and installation described in the motion; the transcript does not specify vendor, cost, or funding source.

The council then adopted Resolution 2025-40 to appoint Nick Roggenbuck as interim city manager for a six-month trial period. Committee member Capling moved the appointment and Committee member Woodward seconded; the council voted unanimously to approve the appointment. The record does not include Roggenbuck’s prior position, salary, or whether the appointment is coupled to any evaluation criteria beyond the stated six-month trial period.

There were no items listed under approval of minutes, approval of bills, or unfinished business. With no further business, Committee member Capling moved to adjourn, Committee member Woodward seconded, and the meeting ended at 7:06 p.m.

The meeting record lists Capling, Wood, Woodward, and Mayor Kevin Guitar as present and Woodke absent with notice. The transcript does not provide additional detail on funding, vendor selection, or next steps for either the wastewater equipment purchase or the interim city manager appointment.
