Antigo meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Antigo panels take up 2027 budget, four property sales and wastewater study; minutes not yet published

Four Antigo city bodies met between Oct. 14 and Oct. 21, with agendas covering the 2027 budget, the sale of four city-owned properties, a wastewater treatment plant study and revisions to city rules for bicycles and electric scooters. Minutes for all four meetings have not been published, so the agendas on file show what was scheduled for discussion but do not establish what, if anything, was decided. No vote tallies or outcomes are available for any of the four meetings.

2027 budget items before Committee of the Whole

The Committee of the Whole met Oct. 14 to discuss several components of the 2027 budget. Agenda items included cost of living increases for non-union employees, shifting wages to enterprise funds, the future retirement of the Clerk-Treasurer/Finance Director, and health and dental insurance. The agenda also listed discussion of the 2027 preliminary budget and a presentation from the Langlade County Economic Development Corporation.

Four city properties listed for sale

The Finance, Personnel, and Legislative Committee met Oct. 21 to consider the sale of city properties at 1203 Eighth Avenue, 629 Irving Street, 423 South Superior Street, and 835 Hogan Street. The same agenda listed a proposed 5% increase for 2027 ambulance rates, 2027 health and dental insurance rates, a sewer rate study proposal by Ehlers Public Finance Advisors, and zoning ordinance revisions.

Wastewater treatment plant study

The Public Works Committee held a special meeting Oct. 14 to discuss and potentially take action on a Wastewater Treatment Plant Study conducted by Strand. The agenda listed that study as the only item.

Bicycle and scooter ordinance, infrastructure, licenses

The Common Council met Oct. 14 with Ordinance 1390B on its agenda, a revision of bicycle, electric bicycle, and electric scooter definitions and operations. Also listed were a contract amendment for Ayres Associates regarding the Hudson Street and Pearl Avenue CDBG Project, replacement of water plant boilers, and repair of two Fifth Avenue lift station pumps. Two alcohol-related items were scheduled: a liquor license for Dolgencorp, LLC (Dollar General Store #31777) at 332 Superior Street, and an agent change for 5th Ave Diner LLC at 714/716 Fifth Avenue.

Coming up

The Public Works Committee meets Oct. 28 and is scheduled to select alternatives for the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The agenda also lists survey and engineering work by Ayers and Associates for the Lincoln Street water main between 7th and 8th Avenue and the Dixie Lunch parking lot, and placement of a handicap parking sign at Mendlik Park (1439 Clermont Street).

Antigo agendas cover 2027 budget, wastewater study and bicycle ordinance — but no outcomes posted yet

Three Antigo city bodies met on Oct. 14, 2026, and their agendas list work on the 2027 budget, a wastewater treatment plant study, and revisions to city ordinances covering bicycles and electric scooters. No minutes have been published for any of the three meetings in the records supplied, so no votes, decisions, or dollar amounts are established here. What follows is what was scheduled for discussion or possible action — not what was decided.

Common Council

The Common Council agenda listed Ordinance 1390B, a revision of the definitions and operation of bicycles, electric bicycles, and electric scooters. Also on the agenda:

• A contract amendment with Ayres Associates for the Hudson Street and Pearl Avenue CDBG Project
• Replacement of water plant boilers and repair of two Fifth Avenue lift station pumps
• A liquor license for Dolgencorp, LLC (Dollar General Store #31777) at 332 Superior Street
• An agent change for 5th Ave Diner LLC at 714/716 Fifth Avenue

The agenda does not indicate whether any of these items were approved, denied, or held over. No vote tallies and no contract or project amounts appear in the supplied record.

Committee of the Whole: 2027 budget

The Committee of the Whole was scheduled to take up several pieces of the 2027 budget:

• Cost of living increases for non-union employees
• Shifting wages to enterprise funds
• The future retirement of the Clerk-Treasurer/Finance Director
• Health and dental insurance
• Discussion of the 2027 preliminary budget

The meeting also included a presentation from the Langlade County Economic Development Corporation.

These are agenda items for discussion. The record supplied contains no budget figures, no proposed levy or spending total, and no action taken.

Public Works: Wastewater Treatment Plant Study

The Public Works Committee held a special meeting to discuss and potentially take action on a Wastewater Treatment Plant Study conducted by Strand. "Potentially take action" is the agenda's own wording; whether the committee acted, and in what direction, is not established by the material available.

What the record does and does not show

All three entries are agendas only. Minutes have not yet been published, so the absence of an outcome here is a gap in the record, not evidence that nothing happened. Residents who want the authoritative account should consult the official agendas and minutes posted by the city, which remain the primary documents.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings in the next 14 days appear in the data supplied for this roundup. That does not mean the calendar is empty — it means no future meetings were included in the records provided. Check the city's official posting for the next scheduled Common Council and committee meetings.
