Council tables cattle pass removal on Hwy 44, later delegates decision to supervisor
Summary
The council initially voted to table removal of the cattle pass crossing on Hwy 44 to investigate drainage impacts, then later returned the issue and granted final decision authority to Water/Wastewater Supervisor Jeff Heberer; both votes passed 5-0 on March 10, 2026.
The Common Council considered removing a cattle pass crossing on Highway 44 and took two recorded actions on March 10.
Motion Triemstra/Abendroth proposed removal of the cattle pass; the council next passed Motion Abendroth/Triemstra to table further discussion pending investigation of drainage ramifications (motion carried 5-0). The council later returned the matter and passed Motion Prill/Thiem to give final decision authority to Water/Wastewater Supervisor Jeff Heberer, instructing Heberer to consult relevant city staff; that motion also carried 5-0.
The minutes indicate the council sought further technical review of drainage before committing to removal but ultimately delegated the final technical decision to the appointed supervisor, rather than making an immediate final policy decision at the meeting.
