Litchfield City Council Work Session Discusses Future Projects

The Litchfield City Council had a rather lengthy meeting Monday evening which began with the annual audit report presented by Justin McGraw of Conway, Deuth & Schmiesing. The Council also had a lengthy work session earlier in the day.

Mayor Ron Dingmann says the Council met on Monday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to talk about future projects and to get them on a priority list. He says, during the regular meeting Monday evening, the Council approved of a pavement replacement project for the trails at Anderson Gardens. He says Diversified Paving of St. Augusta was awarded a bid of $29,644.24 and that money will come from the Anderson Gardens trust fund. The work is expected to be completed before the Watercade celebration.

Mayor Dingmann says the Council again discussed the state flag and decided to take no formal action – leaving the 1983 flags in place; and had more discussion about the parking ordinance and also took no action as the City will try to communicate more with the public about the need to get vehicles off of the streets when there is one inch or more of snowfall. He says Council member Darlene Kotelnicki also brought up some concerns about the Litchfield Area Recreation Center.

Mayor Dingmann says the administration will look into the issues raised by Kotelnicki and provide more information. He says the Council also heard a report from intern Lydia Asmus about what she’s hoping to accomplish as she works alongside City Administrator Dave Czoik this summer.
