Wausau Finance Committee Meeting - 9/8/26

The City of Wausau Finance Committee met on September 8, 2026, to discuss two key procurement-related items. First, the committee reviewed the drinking water treatment solar array project, including a budget modification and a sole source request for engineering design services. The project did not receive the anticipated EPA grant, increasing the payback period to about 20 years, and the committee ultimately voted against moving forward with the $2.8 million project due to financial concerns and timing issues. Second, the committee considered a sole source request to purchase Lucas mechanical CPR devices from Stryker for the fire department. Despite a minor discrepancy in the cost figures, the committee approved the purchase, which will be funded through FAP funds. The meeting concluded with the approval of these actions and adjournment.
