Council advances Belvedere Avenue sewer-and-pavement design contract to 2nd reading
Summary
Council reported committee discussion and advanced Ordinance 26-04 to second reading — a design contract to fully replace water, storm and sanitary lines and pavement on Belvedere Avenue; engineers said construction must start by June 2027 and the city received a 0% loan from the county public works commission.
Councilwoman Mann told the council the Environment, Public Works, Planning, Zoning and Development committee met Jan. 26 and unanimously moved Ordinance 26-04 to second and subsequent third readings. Ordinance 26-04 would authorize a contract with Mannick & Smith Group Incorporated for design services to fully replace water, storm and sanitary lines and pave Belvedere Avenue.
Engineer Kerber said the project involves aging infrastructure and that the city received a 0% loan from the county public works commission to support the work. "We are required to start construction by June 2027, and it's at least a 12 month project," Kerber said. Council members raised concerns about construction timing and public impacts, including safety where children cut across yards to access field 5 and potential impacts to Summerfest; Mayor Schneider said work areas will be secured and construction should not affect the festival.
The committee voted unanimously to advance the ordinance; council placed 26-04 on second and subsequent third readings. Council members said the project selection reflects multi-year assessment and factors such as break frequency and infrastructure age.
