Finance Committee Meeting - February 9, 2026

The City of Stevens Point Finance Committee convened on February 9, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve funding for a new sand screener for the Department of Public Works. The committee reviewed a proposal highlighting the cost-efficiency and multiple uses of the screener, including processing road sweepings and topsoil, which would reduce the need to purchase sand annually. The equipment, priced at $111,000, was approved to be funded from the equipment fund, which currently holds $368,000 from vehicle sale proceeds. The committee unanimously approved the purchase, ensuring sufficient funds remain for other needs. Additionally, the meeting included brief updates on tax settlements, insurance premiums, and capital projects, with no further clarifications requested. The meeting concluded with approval of claims paid and adjournment.
