Committee approves consultant agreement with Andewald and Associates for subdivision ordinance rewrite

The finance committee approved a consultant services agreement with Andewald and Associates to lead a subdivision ordinance rewrite, with an amendment asking the consultant to explicitly provide a project‑orientation work element that lists procedural steps for adoption and to correct the statutory citation.

Staff noted Van de Waal (consultant) was listed on the scope and that the packet did not clearly require an upfront procedural outline; the committee asked that the consultant add a bullet in Work Element 1 requiring delivery of the procedural steps and to correct the reference to the Wisconsin statute chapter (noted in the packet as chapter “263”). City staff indicated the project will include Strand Engineering as a subcontractor and that the timetable is likely about a year due to committee reviews.

A motion to approve the agreement as amended and with city‑attorney finalization carried by voice vote.

Next steps: staff to finalize contract language with the city attorney and proceed with consultant onboarding and the planned review process, including committee and staff coordination.
