MARCH COUNCIL NOTES
The Summerfield City Council met on Monday March 9, 2026. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Bruce Mitchell at 7:00p.m. Council members present were Craig Wiebe, Butch Renz, Jamie Smith, Pete Cloyed and Jared Scheibe. Also present were Jennifer Jones, Sherryl Burger and visitors Ryan and Chrystal Woodyard.
Minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
Ryan and Chrystal talked to the council about enforcement of ordinances and the different ways to get them done. They also allowed the council to look at the code book for the city of Blue Rapids.
The city received three bids to clean up the trees and brush at 603 4th Street. Craig moved to have Ryan Woodyard do it at a cost of $5,000 that will be billed to the property owner. Pete seconded. All in favor.
Craig told the council he thought it would be best for the city to purchase a front blade for the tractor rather than a rear blade.
Bruce said he was going to contact Steve Menninga about replacing a light at the Presbyterian Church.
Craig said himself and Bruce went around town and looked at the ditches seeing which ones needed to be cleaned first.
Craig told the council the grant for water and sewer was completed and sent each council member the email. Bruce was going to contact NCRPC about the figures that were given.
Craig told the council Denise Ludwig may want an electric meter put in on the property she owns across from her house. Bruce said the city could put a meter in, but she would have to pay a $50.00 connection fee and all other costs for the meter to be put in.
Bruce told the council Donald Stueve has pole that needs to be replaced. Blake Ronnebaum was going to be contacted to do it.
Jamie moved to pay the bills. Pete seconded. All in favor
Pete moved to adjourn the meeting. Butch seconded. All in favor.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
Next meeting will be April 13, 2026, at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
