Two Rivers City Council Meeting for Monday, June 15, 2026

City Council Approves Three-Year Contract for Appraisal Assessment Services with Municipal Group
The City Council approved a three-year contract with Municipal Group for appraisal assessment services, not to exceed $200,000 over three years. This agreement follows a competitive RFP process and is recommended based on Municipal Group's emphasis on resident communication, customer service, and proactive market maintenance, aligning with the city's property assessment policy. The goal is to promote assessment stability, improve public understanding, and maintain compliance with state requirements. The contract aims to avoid large value changes by implementing regular market maintenance. Compared to the previous contract with Accurate, the cost increase is 3.8% over three years. Ryan Kronowski, owner of Municipal Group, presented their services, highlighting their smaller firm size, direct client communication, and educational approach to reassessments.
Two Rivers Approves Beach Tent Rental Service at Nishoda Beach
The City Council approved a commercial lease agreement with Rosanna's Cabanas LLC for a seasonal beach tent rental service at Nishoda Beach. The agreement authorizes the operation of a feebased public amenity from June 19th through September 1st, 2026, in a designated area near parking lots 1 and 2. Rosanna's Cabanas will pay a $100 lease fee, maintain liability insurance, and operate Thursdays through Sundays. The agreement prohibits food sales and live music, preserves public beach access, and allows for a one-year extension. This initiative is seen as a pilot program to test new beach amenities and support a private sector entrepreneur without financial investment from the city. The vendor is responsible for all operational aspects, including setup and removal, and will have QR codes for walk-up rentals if not on-site.
Two Rivers Council Discusses Long-Term Power Supply Contract Extension with WPPI Energy
The City Council discussed a long-term power supply contract extension with WPPI Energy, a partnership that began in 1980 and has provided stable, cost-competitive power to Two Rivers Utilities. The current contract is set to expire, and WPPI is seeking an 18-year extension to secure future power supply, manage costs, and invest in new energy resources. The discussion included the benefits of WPPI's long-term planning, cost stability, and investments in transmission and renewable energy projects. They also addressed the increasing demand from data centers and the potential impact on power supply and costs, outlining strategies to serve such large loads without negatively impacting existing members. The city council was informed about WPPI's financial stability, investment strategies, and commitment to diversification of the energy portfolio, including exploration of battery storage and small modular reactors, though current cost-effectiveness remains a factor.
City Council Clarifies Guidelines for Legislative Advocacy and External Representation
The City Council held a discussion regarding external government relations, legislative advocacy, and representation before state, federal, and regional agencies. The discussion aimed to clarify procedures and guidelines for council members engaging in such activities. The primary distinction emphasized was between representing oneself as an individual council member versus representing the city as a whole. Council members are free to engage with legislators and advocate on behalf of constituents, but any communication purporting to represent the entire city requires formal action or policy adoption by the council. The discussion was prompted by a council member's recent visit to Madison for advocacy, leading to questions about established procedures. The City Attorney provided guidance, stressing that individual advocacy is permissible, but speaking officially on behalf of the city must be a collective decision. Several council members and a resident shared personal experiences of successful advocacy efforts, highlighting the value and complexities of engaging with higher levels of government.
Two Rivers Moves Forward with Special Assessment for Street Resurfacing Project
The City Council considered and adopted a preliminary resolution for a special assessment for the resurfacing of 18th and 19th Streets (Jackson to Emmett) and Emmett Street (17th to 22nd Street). This resolution initiates the special assessment process required by Wisconsin law, authorizing the preparation of an assessment report detailing project costs and proposed assessments. Adoption of this resolution does not levy the assessments but allows the project to proceed to the next phases of design and cost estimation. The sealed bid opening for the resurfacing project is scheduled for June 29th, 2026. This is a routine annual process to advance infrastructure projects.
