Neillsville City Council Approves Asphalt Bid

Thursday, March 10th, 2022 -- 12:01 PM

The Neillsville City Council approved an asphalt bid.

The Council approved to accept the American Asphalt of Wisconsin asphalt bid in the amount of $97.00 per ton full width road paving, $94.05 per ton for second lift full width road paving, and $156.50 per ton for patch paving with a $3.00 per ton discount for work done when the asphalt plant is in the Neillsville area.

Also, Fire Chief Matt Meyer reported that he, Second Assistant Fire Chief Bill Poeschel and Fireman Justin Poeschel met with a representative from Rosenbauer, South Dakota to go over what they have, what they need, and what they would like in regards to a new fire truck. They will be working up an estimate. They do not require a payment until completion; however, the City could save 4% on the chassis if paid for when obtained.

Fire Chief Meyer stated he would be going to the State Fire Conference this Friday and Saturday in Green Bay to get more information and ideas. They have to look long range as this truck will serve for the next forty years.

Council Member Dan Clough reminded everyone of the Open Houses and Ribbon Cuttings at the New City Hall and expanded Police Station locations on Sunday, March 13, 2022 from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M.

Also, Mayor Diane Murphy read Chief of Police Jim Mankowski’s letter regarding the second license application for a resident. Mankowski’s position has not changed since January, and he does not recommend issuing an operator’s license. The Council approved not issuing the license.

Council Member Clough also reviewed the current activities from the Public Works Department.
