Council awards library roof contract and approves Power Line Trail Phase 3 intergovernmental agreement

The Greenfield Common Council approved two separate infrastructure items: a contract with Garland Company to replace the west roof at the public library for $244,930, and an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Hales Corners to construct a roughly 300‑foot segment of the Power Line Trail Phase 3.

Council members described the library roof project as a long‑standing maintenance item that had been delayed for years; the Garland Company contract was presented as the lowest‑recommended bid for project 25‑11. The council approved the contract by roll call.

On the Power Line Trail, councilors said the planned Phase 3 construction will add about 300 feet of trail and tie into Edgerton but will not extend to Highway 100. The village of Hales Corners will partner with the city under an intergovernmental agreement so the city’s small connection can tie to Hales Corners’ portion. Council approved the agreement and emphasized the regional benefits of connecting local trail segments even though the project does not complete the longer corridor to Highway 100.

Both approvals were presented as part of ongoing capital and public works activity; councilors said staff will manage project scheduling and construction next year as planned.
