June 10, 2021 – Special Council Meeting

Mayor Starzynski called the special meeting of the City Council to order at 5:00 p.m.
There was no public participation.
Discussion of Menominee County’s request to place antennas on the City’s water tower was held. Council discussed various options and criteria if antennas were to be allowed. The consensus of Council was that the mayor will discuss options/requirements with the County Administrator and the matter will be discussed at a future meeting.
Discussion of the City’s procedure in billing users a base rate to have water and sewer service was held. It was learned that apartment buildings and multi-family complexes have been billed only one base rate for having service to one building instead of the number of connections for each user/apartment. The consensus was that the billing procedure needs to be corrected so that all users are being billed the base charge for their water and sewer service.
Discussion was held regarding a request from Stephenson Township for the City to extend its water and sewer systems to Stephenson Marketing’s C-Store. The Township would contribute $62,000 toward the expense. A Marketing Board meeting will be held to discuss a possible contribution. Council will wait until a response has been received from the Marketing Board before discussing the matter further.
There was no correspondence.
No comments were received.
The meeting adjourned at 5:41 p.m.
The next City regular council meeting will be held on July 1, 2021 at 6:00 p.m.
Copies of City Council proceedings are available at City Hall during regular business hours.

Respectfully Submitted,
Tammy S. Van Domelen
Clerk
