Appleton District 6

As expected, the items separated for individual consideration and votes in last week’s Common Council meeting were the three contract awards from the Finance Committee. As noted in last week’s update, the bid for hardscape renovation came in over budget, so $150,000 from the roof replacement project was moved to this project. In discussions at the Finance Committee meeting and in the council meeting, we learned that the roof project is going to cost substantially more than $150,000 and that there isn’t great danger in moving this project to next year. This item passed unanimously.  The 2023 concrete paving project, where paving for a portion of Amethyst Drive was moved out to 2024 along with some work on the Lightning Drive stream crossing and pond construction to save funds this year, was discussed and voted on separately. Some Tax Increment Financing funds were adjusted for the projects within TIF 11. Two homeowners on Amethyst Drive expressed concerns about moving the paving project
