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

Sheriff’s department overtime reflects a wide budget balancing act

MARINETTE — The Marinette County Administrative Committee Thursday discussed the sheriff’s department’s overtime costs and how to control them without undermining public safety. The discussion exposed a difficult trade-off: staffing shortages and unpredictable calls can drive overtime, while county budget limits put pressure on departments to contain spending. Sheriff Randy Miller attributed much of the correctional center overtime to vacancies in the 40-hour fill positions — staff who can cover shifts when employees take leave. Miller said the department had reduced those positions over time and had recently begun rebuilding coverage. “For the first time this year, we have one 40-hour fill that actually is slated in that spot,” Miller said. He added that another employee was in training and a third had returned from military deployment. A fourth candidate left during training, requiring the department to restart the hiring process. Miller said staffing shortages are especially challenging because the jail must maintain minimum coverage, including male and female staff. When employees are unavailable, overtime pay may be needed to fill required shifts. Miller expected that filling open positions could reduce this kind of overtime, but cautioned that other demands would remain. “There should be very little to no overtime

Thunder put Marquette on ice

MARINETTE — The M&M Thunder high school hockey team scored a pair of wins over Marquette at the REC Center on Sunday. The Thunder took game one 7-5 and game two by a score of 9-8. While Wesley Baty, a senior at Peshtigo High School, set the tone by scoring four goals and assisting on two others, the Thunder showed off some young talent with four freshmen scoring their first high school goals and two goalies recording their first high school victories. “We have a young team, and I thought that those young players stepped up where they needed to,” first year head coach Kyle Lucas said. “Our veterans stepped up as well. They grinded the entire time, never let off the gas.” Connor Radtke started the scoring in game one, taking advantage of a 5-on-3 situation with assists from Baty and Owen Haley. Carter Edrman, a freshman at St. Thomas Aquinas Academy, followed with his first career goal to make it 2-0. Marquette scored a pair of goals late in the first to reach the first intermission tied 2-2. Baty, Cael Schmidt (a freshman at Peshtigo) and Erdman all scored in the second period, and the Thunder led 5-4
