2025 Capital Improvement Plan and equipment replacement planning

Discussion covered adding a street-sign budget line, parks language and park equipment needs, possible public building changes including a fifth fire department bay, road project timing and bonding, IT and financial software options, public works dump-truck planning, MS4 costs, and pickleball options. Several staff and council follow-up assignments were recorded.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Administrator Lehner, Finance Consultant Yager, Council Member Fladebo.
Park grills, ash cans, pavilions, Twin Lakes parking, basketball court, and pickleball
The Council discussed 2024 park needs while reviewing the 2025 plan, including replacing grills at Twin Lakes Park and Memorial Park, securing ash cans, improving the historic town hall memorial, Twin Lakes parking lot paving and striping, pavilion improvements, repairing the Memorial Park basketball court, and investigating what kind of pickleball court Nowthen should consider.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Administrator Lehner, Council Member Fladebo.
Possible fifth bay for the fire department
During the public buildings discussion, the Council asked whether a fifth bay could be added to the fire department and directed Administrator Lehner to investigate ideas and ballpark costs.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Administrator Lehner.
Road projects, bonding, and road study timing
The Council discussed future road improvement projects and financing. The minutes state that 2025 would be a bonding year for road projects, that the mayor suggested tabling road discussion until a May 21 Moore Engineering presentation on a potential road study, and that Finance Consultant Yager had increased construction and bond cost assumptions and requested a reimbursement resolution as part of the bonding process.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Finance Consultant Yager.
IT services, server needs, NAS storage, and financial software
The Council discussed replacement of network computers, whether the City needs a server or could use NAS storage, IT service options, outsourcing some financial duties, and upgraded software that can track depreciation and appreciation.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Council, staff.
Public Works dump trucks
The Council discussed Public Works dump-truck planning, including the anticipated 2024 truck delivery, the possibility of keeping the older truck because the City may soon have a third CDL driver, and the planned 2027 dump-truck replacement.
Agenda: 2. Speakers: Council, staff.
MS4 program planning
