North Fond du Lac trustees approve full municipal building study, award design work to Excel Engineering
Summary
The Village of North Fond du Lac Board of Trustees unanimously approved contracts with Excel Engineering to conduct a full facility study and follow-on renovation design for the municipal building, and took a set of routine personnel and licensing actions at its April 17, 2023 meeting.
The Village of North Fond du Lac Board of Trustees on April 17 unanimously approved contracts with Excel Engineering to perform a complete facility study of the municipal building and to proceed into renovation design for front-office service windows, the hallway and restrooms.
Administrator Nick Leonard recommended beginning with a full building study before moving into detailed renovation design. Leonard told the Board he preferred that sequencing; Director of Public Works Mitch Vis said the building’s restroom plumbing does not drain properly and that the existing restrooms are not ADA compliant, describing those problems as primary drivers for the work.
Trustee John Duffy moved to approve both Excel Engineering contracts; Trustee Chuck Hornung seconded. The motion carried on a 5–0 vote (Duffy, Hornung, Streetar, Price, Will voting yes).
The Board also discussed State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) during administrative business but the minutes record discussion only and do not show a separate SLFRF spending motion.
In other business, the Board approved the hiring of Keenan Lange as Crewperson 1 in the Department of Public Works on a motion by Duffy, seconded by Ann Price. That motion passed 5–0.
During the consent agenda the Board approved minutes of the April 3, 2023 meeting and authorized invoices and checks; Trustee Mike Will asked Fire/EMS Chief Jake Flaherty about a $500 towing charge for an ambulance that slid off a driveway and became stuck in snow during a call. The consent agenda also included approval of operator licenses for Natasha Parish and Bridget Canales; Trustee Will moved approval, Trustee Price seconded, and the vote was 5–0.
The Board approved a six-month Class B fermented malt beverage license for the NFDL Youth Athletic Association (May 1–Nov. 1, 2023) with Ashton DeMaster listed as agent. Trustee Mike Will moved to approve the license and Trustee Chuck Hornung seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
President Mike Streetar opened the meeting and recognized Brian Rebedew for 35 years of service and his retirement. Jeff McAndrews introduced himself as the library-appointed poet laureate and outlined plans for upcoming events. Senator Dan Feyen provided a brief update on the Governor’s budget proposal and Senate work on adjustments to the Shared Revenue program that could affect municipal revenue.
The meeting concluded at 7:20 p.m. after Trustee Ann Price moved to adjourn and Trustee Chuck Hornung seconded; the motion passed 5–0.
