In a bit more impersonal detail, herewith the agendae for next week's meetings.
Note: the Board of Public Works meeting scheduled for noon, Monday Feb. 9th, has been cancelled.
Finance and Personnel Committee meets Monday, Feb. 9th at 7:00 pm and its agenda has three items:
- The Parks and Recreation Commission wants to purchase a $30,000 parcel of land from the Neenah Water Utility. This is a budgeted item. The parcel is located at the corner of Cedar St. and Belmont Ave.
- Finance Director, Mike Easker, wants to deposit city funds immediately in money market accounts and CD's in banks and credit unions that are not yet designated as official depositories for those funds. There's a state statute, 34.05, that allows him, as Treasurer of the city, to deposit funds for 90 days, giving the City Council time to approve the financial institutions in an official manner. Easker says that it's a good move because higher rates of return coupled with the requisite security are available at these banks right now and that it would take too long for the normal approval process. By the time these institutions are approved, the current favorable yields may no longer be available.
- Finally, the Mayor will ask the Committee to recommend to the City Council the expenditure of $300 for membership in a new multi-city group banding together to try to alter the course of the juggernaut of the DNR's expensive storm water mandates.
Public Services & Safety Committee meets Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 7:00 pm and its agenda includes primarily routine items. Under item VI. New Business:
D. Public Works Department
- Release of Sewer Easements on the Glatfelter Site
- Approval of Copy Machine Purchase for Tullar Road Garage
- Special Event applications
- 10th Annual Blood Run/Future Neenah-Eagle Nation
- Neenah Streetball Challenge/Future Neenah
- Public Works General Construction and Department Activity
Then there are the beverage licenses, including one denial that I described in my last post.
The Plan Commission is supposed to meet on Tuesday, Feb. 10th, but I haven't found an agenda on-line.
Also the Sustainable Neenah Committee will meet at 7:00 pm Wednesday, Feb. 11th. No agenda for that meeting either, nor have I found minutes for the last meeting held Jan. 14th. I'm going to have to review the recording I made and make up unofficial minutes myself. It was a fascinating meeting. I'll see about minutes this weekend sometime.
