Norton City Council, Board of Control to weigh $270K in infrastructure repairs, 2027 tax budget
The only public meeting held in Norton over the past two weeks was the Parks and Cemetery Board on June 24, which discussed potential grant opportunities and the America 250 initiative but took no major votes, according to the agenda. The next week brings two consequential meetings: City Council and the Board of Control, both on July 6, where officials are expected to consider more than $270,000 in emergency storm pipe repairs, a roof replacement, and the 2027 tax budget.
Parks and Cemetery Board (June 24)
The board held its regular meeting but the minutes have not yet been published. The agenda included a public participation period, discussion of old business, review of grant opportunities, and the America 250 initiative. No dollar amounts or decisions were listed.
Board of Control (July 6)
The Board of Control will vote on several contracts totaling $271,261 for infrastructure repairs and facility maintenance. The largest items are two emergency storm pipe projects on State Route 21: a 42-inch pipe repair for $122,950 and a 15-inch pipe repair for $72,450, both with Kenmore Construction. The board will also consider:
- A $40,206 contract with Twincreek Roofing for the Administration/Police Building roof and solar panel removal.
- A $21,205 contract with OHM Advisors for a city-wide Pavement Condition Rating.
- A $14,450 contract with Northstar Asphalt Inc. for paving in the 1300 block of Norton Avenue.
City Council (July 6)
Council will hold a regular meeting that includes public hearings on proposed zoning amendments for large-scale data centers (second reading) and an executive session for collective bargaining negotiations. The main business is discussion of the 2027 tax budget, which sets the city’s financial plan for operations and tax levies. Council will also consider ordinances to authorize several of the same contracts before the Board of Control, including:
- Roofing at the Administration & Safety Center: $40,206.
- First culvert repair on SR 21: $122,950.
- Second culvert repair on SR 21: $72,450.
- Pavement repair on Norton Avenue: $14,450.
- Pavement condition rating: $21,205.
