Mayville Common Council gets Ball Rolling on New EMS Building

On Monday, October 13, the City of Mayville Common Council took action to begin the process of building a new EMS building.
The first item discussed was regarding the potential location for the new building. Pending legal response, a motion was made by Alderperson Kim Olson, and seconded by Alderperson Molly Henkel, to have the future EMS building built near the former Shopko building on land that is part of Theiler Park. The motion passed, with Alderperson Ken Neumann abstaining as he would like to do more research on the proposed location.
A second item was discussed regarding the city’s financial commitment toward the future EMS building for non-state grant application. Mayville EMS plans to apply for a grant before the end of this month that is believed to be a 50% matching grant. Neumann made a motion for the city to commit to paying half. Henkel seconded the motion, and the motion passed.
