Staffing shortfall puts court collections work under scrutiny

MARINETTE — A staffing shortage in the Marinette County Clerk of Circuit Court’s office is delaying new submissions to Wisconsin’s state debt collection program, prompting committee members to question the financial impact and discuss ways to help. At the public safety committee’s Tuesday meeting, Clerk Carrie Brazeau described an office struggling to retain employees while managing a growing workload. Brazeau said the last state debt collection submission was completed in late January, covering December’s work. “I do not have the staff to keep up with the work,” Brazeau told the committee. The program collects qualifying debts owed to the county, with the state taking a commission from the amounts it recovers. Supervisor Peter Noppenberg said the county figures showed $945,071 collected through the program in 2025. He estimated that delays in sending new files could mean “approximately $79,000 in income every month is not being pursued.” Brazeau cautioned that the figures for submissions and collections were different. Money collected in a given month may come from cases submitted years earlier, she said and sending a file does not mean the county will receive payment immediately. “There is a difference between how much you submit and how much you actually receive,”

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
