Council accepts $64,760 storm-sewer grant and withdraws Phase 3 application
Summary
The Ipswich City Council approved Resolution 2026-01 to supplement the storm-sewer budget with $64,760 in state and federal grant funds and separately voted to withdraw a Phase 3 funding application; the actions leave immediate capital spending authority updated while a larger Phase 3 plan is being reconsidered.
The Ipswich City Council on Feb. 9 approved Resolution 2026-01 to add $64,760 in Federal and State grant revenue to the storm-sewer fund and a matching $64,760 capital-improvement expenditure. The resolution, dated Feb. 9, 2026, designates revenue to account 604-33100 and expenditures to 604-43250-43700 and was signed by Mayor Mike Steen and attested by Finance Officer Amanda Metzinger.
Separately, council members voted (Hutson/Gauer) to withdraw a previously filed funding application for the Phase 3 storm-sewer project. Council members discussed project sequencing and funding options but the minutes do not record further details about the Phase 3 scope or whether the withdrawn application would be resubmitted. The resolution's supplemental funds are recorded as immediately available for storm-sewer capital work under the stated accounts.
Council member Mike Heinz moved and Tracy Hutson seconded the resolution; motions throughout the meeting were recorded as approved unless otherwise indicated. The minutes do not list a roll-call vote for the resolution; seven members were noted present at the meeting.
