Sun Prairie Utilities will be able to purchase land for its new SPU facilities on Linnerud Drive and complete water and electrical line replacements in 2021, thanks to action taken Dec. 15 by the Sun Prairie City Council.
The council not only approved a resolution providing for the sale of approximately $6.77 million in Water and Light Utility Revenue Bonds, but also a $500,000 loan from Sun Prairie-based WPPI Energy to undertake water and electrical replacement projects in 2021.
The no interest loan from WPPI Energy was approved Nov. 23. Although the loan is interest-free, a one-time origination fee of $5,000, or 1% of the loan amount, will be repaid by SPU as part of the agreement. A schedule of payments shows SPU will pay back the loan in monthly installments of $4,166.67.
Members of the Sun Prairie Public Works Committee on Dec. 8 voted unanimously to reject a request for proposals for a Prairie Lakes Traffic Study and instead issue one in the spring of 2021.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Adam Schleicher wrote in a report to the committee that earlier this year the city authorized the release of a request for proposals (RFP) for a Prairie Lakes Traffic Study.
The project intended to study traffic in the Prairie Lakes area and provide a recommendation for Adaptive Signal Management hardware and a software solution. The RFP contained several real-time traffic counts as part of the data collection efforts. The RFP was not awarded due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and shutdown of schools and businesses that altered normal traffic patterns.
