Finance and Personnel / October 13, 2026

The City of Hartford, Wisconsin Finance and Personnel Committee met on October 13, 2026. The committee approved a purchase of two replacement chairlifts for the indoor pool from Horizon Commercial Pools for $16,930, plus up to $500 for hardware. The 2027 capital improvement project was budgeted at $20,000; staff reported receiving quotes from three vendors and recommended Horizon. The purchase is to be fronted with remaining 2026 CIP funds, and a Rotary Club donation will offset the cost. The transcript gives conflicting donation amounts ($1,000 in the staff report and $1,500 in a member’s question); the motion to approve the purchase passed, with no opposition recorded.

The committee also approved a Class B fermented malt beverage and Class C liquor/wine-only license for Rosen Oak LLC, doing business as the Flower Cafe, for November 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. It approved creating municipal code sections 3211 and 3222 and amending section 4204 to establish amusement-device and arcade licenses, which staff said could generate about $3,300 annually. Annual revisions to fines, fees, and forfeitures were also approved; the transcript provides no specific amounts for those changes.
