Unexpected underground conditions adds costs to street project

MARINETTE — At its Nov. 4 meeting, the Marinette Common Council approved a $32,909 change order for street reconstruction after contractor Barley Excavating encountered underground conditions that had not been known when the project was designed and were not included in the bid. The work involved Eggener and Wells streets and the change order was allocated among wastewater, water and stormwater utilities. During discussion, City Engineer Brian Miller described an old building foundation discovered on Eggener Street and on Nestegg Marine’s property. Miller also reported a large electrical transmission duct running along Wells Street, encased in concrete reaching as deep as 10 feet below grade. Also, at the intersection of Eggener and Wells, the existing water main was found completely encased in concrete. These unexpected obstructions required work beyond what had been anticipated in the original design and bid leading to the additional cost. The council also approved the recommended increases to cemetery fees after hearing that local rates had remained unchanged after many years. City Clerk Lana Bero compared Marinette’s charges with those of similarly sized, city-owned cemeteries. Bero reported that other communities charged about $900 to $1,000 for a grave space, while Marinette’s current price was $650. The

Green Bay Notre Dame star Kingston Allen chases state history

Kingston Allen’s high school football career will come to an end sometime in the next two weeks. The area might never see a player like the Green Bay Notre Dame running back again. That old sports adage that records are made to be broken is something Allen has taken literally. He is on the cusp of perhaps his biggest achievement, entering a WIAA Division 2 semifinal playoff game against Union Grove on Nov. 13 needing 214 yards to surpass former Columbus star Colton Brunell as the state’s all-time rushing king. Allen recently joined Brunell as the only players in state history with more than 7,000 career rushing yards. Brunell finished with 7,416. Allen stands at 7,203. Rushing for more than 200 yards in a semifinal wouldn’t normally be a lock, but it might be for Allen if he stays healthy. He has rushed for more than 214 yards in a game 10 times this season. The only reason he didn’t do it in the other two contests was because he was pulled early with six carries and 136 yards against Manitowoc and seven attempts for 122 yards against Green Bay East after Notre Dame beat the two by a combined

Marinette County committee debates reducing board

MARINETTE — Marinette County’s Executive Committee discussed reducing the county board from 30 members to 15, as a petition effort could put the question before voters in 2027. Public commenter Kim Brooks urged supervisors to consider board reduction alongside committee consolidation, while committee members debated representation, timing and how a smaller board would function. No action was taken at the Tuesday meeting. Brooks said consolidating committees could reduce repetitive meetings while maintaining oversight. She noted that many Wisconsin counties have consolidated committees and said a smaller board could be part of a broader restructuring. “You would have broad latitude in designing a new structure,” Brooks said. Brooks suggested that supervisors consider different committee assignments and options for public participation. She argued that streamlining could reduce staff time spent preparing for and attending meetings, while allowing department heads to focus on county work. Brooks also said meeting schedules affect who can serve. “This board does not adequately reflect the county,” Brooks said. Brooks added that morning and workday meetings can disadvantage working people, parents and other residents who might participate or serve as supervisors. Chair John Guarisco said his proposal was intended to open discussion, not prompt and immediate vote. He

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Maybe we can say goodbye to flammable lithium-ion batteries. We know firefighters will appreciate this.
