The Manitowoc City Council approved several Public Infrastructure Committee recommendations to advance reconstruction, stormwater and design work around the city.

The council approved an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for STH 42 (Washington and Calumet) reconstruction project sanitary sewer design, with committee recommendation that pre-approved funds be applied to the project. The council also approved a stormwater management facility maintenance agreement for St. Francis of Assisi on Grand Avenue and a resolution allowing payment in lieu of on-site stormwater management for the Take 5 oil change development at South 40 Second Street and South Road.

Additionally, the council approved Task Order No. 2042 with Strand Associates Inc., pursuant to a technical services agreement dated Dec. 1, 2023, for Rubik Field dry detention basin and Grand Avenue storm sewer improvements. Committee recommendations for the items were returned to approve the agreements or to move forward with the task order; each item was adopted by unanimous council vote.

Council members said the items advance planned capital and stormwater improvements; the transcript records no opposition. The Public Infrastructure Committee’s next meeting was noted for early September.
