The Neenah Common Council on April 2 voted to ratify acceptance of a $150,302.12 award from the state EMS Funding Assistance Program for Neenah Menasha Fire Rescue.

Alderman Kathy Boyette reported that the joint Neenah-Menasha committee recommended both councils ratify the award. Boyette moved the recommendation; Alderman Ellis seconded. G.T. Shek, representing Neenah Menasha Fire Rescue, explained the recent state changes that expanded eligibility and increased the funding pool, allowing departments that provide on-scene care (but do not operate transporting ambulances) to apply. Shek said the award must be used for EMS-related purposes and cannot be used to reduce existing budgeted funds. The motion passed 7–0.

Separately, the council approved by unanimous consent postponing approval of the council minutes and proceedings from March 19 until the April 15 meeting. When asked, the clerk explained the postponement would move the vote to the next regular meeting; no roll-call vote was recorded for that consent action.

There were no other formal ordinances, resolutions or bids adopted during the meeting.
