City Council Meeting Tuesday 2025 10 28

The City of Eau Claire City Council meeting was held Tuesday, October 28, 2025, according to the meeting title and transcript. The council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-440 awarding Kelgon Carbon Corporation a contract to supply ion-exchange media for the water treatment plant’s PFAS treatment. Council questions focused on Kelgon’s exclusion of future media removal and vessel-cleaning costs from its bid; staff said the work would occur after the media’s useful life, another bid process could be used then, and related contract language could be added. The council also unanimously approved $17.9 million in 2025A general obligation promissory notes and $6.8 million in taxable general obligation promissory notes. The city reported that the first borrowing’s interest rate was 3.79%, below the 4.56% estimate, and that its Moody’s rating remained Aa2 (transcribed as “AA2”).

The council unanimously approved 2025 budget adjustments, including a new capital account for purchasing the water-treatment ion-exchange resin, grant and operating-budget adjustments, and a $125,500 transfer for Carson Park baseball stadium improvements. The meeting’s budget discussion also covered a proposed increase in local vehicle-registration-fee revenue from about $1.22 million to $2.4 million, with funding directed in part to capital needs and transportation; the fee ordinance was introduced but not taken up for a vote. No other major procurement award was identified.
