Crews have responded to 1,848 calls as of June 16th. b. The fire crews responded to fire at the former Lidgerwood Mundy facility on June 2nd. Crews arrived to find the fire in the walls and void spaces between the additions on the building. Due to the size of the structure, command requested the assistance of Tower 1 from Duluth to provide a secondary aerial device. The crews were able to stop the fire in the buildings of origin and maintain the portion of the structure needed for the bridge rebuild. The fire appeared to be started by hot work in the building. c. The fire crews responded to a garage fire on the 18 hundred block of Banks Avenue. The Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire; however, a dog was in the garage and did not survive. Based on the presence of a mattress and television in the garage and reports from the owner, two people were living in the garage at the time of the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation but does appear to be accidental. 2. Training: a. The fire crews continued training and signing off on the new fire engine. b. The first half of the AEMT class are finishing up their clinicals.

The request comes from again, the continuing increase of traffic coming off the 21st Street viaduct on to Oakes Avenue and heading South. A citizen has talked with an officer about this problem. The officer told him that additional stop signs could help. I visited with a couple of the citizens Thursday June 4th. As I was there, I observed four vehicles turning from 21st Street onto Oakes Avenue. Three of the four vehicles were from MN. The other request is for a no trucks sign on Wyoming Avenue coming from Belknap Street. I received complaints about semi-trailer trucks and tankers using Wyoming Street. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your help. Mike Get Outlook for iOS From: Carlson, Chris <carlsonc@superiorwi.gov> Sent: Monday, June 8, 2026 8:39 AM To: Elm, Tylor <elmt@superiorwi.gov>; Kalan, Nicole <kalann@superiorwi.gov> Cc: Herrick, Mike <herrickm@superiorwi.gov>; Winterscheidt, Paul <winterscheidtp@superiorwi.gov>; Pope, Michelle <popem@superiorwi.gov> Subject: RE: Stop signs and no trucks sign Good morning. 1. Adding a ‘No Trucks’ sign on Wyoming does not require an ordinance change or a formal action by council. It is simply emphasizing the existing truck route ordinance. I will instruct our Sign Shop to add a sign on Wyoming heading south from Belknap. As an FYI, trucks using the route as a shortcut are doing wrong. However, trucks delivering to Billings Park or specifically to the Elementary School are allowed to use Wyoming. Our truck route ordinance doesn’t strictly prohibit trucks on non-truck route streets, however it requires them to use them sparingly and as a most direct route from an established truck route. There isn’t a dedicated truck route into Billings Park. This is how the ordinance reads: For the purpose of obtaining orders for supplies or moving or delivering supplies or commodities to or from any place of business or residence which has an entrance on such street or highway and then only by such deviation from the nearest truck route as is reasonable necessary. In making such deliveries, the vehicles shall use heavy traffic routes whenever possible. When it is necessary to leave a heavy traffic route to make a delivery, the vehicle shall use the shortest practical route between the previous delivery point or exit from the heavy traffic route and the next delivery point and shall return to a heavy traffic route whenever possible. The intent of this paragraph is to minimize the disruption to residential areas and damage to residential streets by minimizing delivery vehicles' use of non-heavy traffic routes to the greatest extent possible. 2. Below is a map showing the existing locations of stop signs along Oakes in the area between Tower and Butler. The committee may want to take a holistic look at the neighborhood as it lays out a sign plan. We’ve recently added signs at N23rd and N24th. When signs are added at N22nd, the uncontrolled intersections of N25th, 26th, and 27th may be the subject of the next neighborhood request(s). Also, note that adding N-S at N22nd will create four (counting N21st) blocks of continuous N-S stops on Oakes. I don’t have a strong feeling about it if it serves the neighborhood. I mention it only because we often try to alternate stops so drivers go two blocks before stopping.

Introduction - It is the recommendation of the Police Department to approve the agreement between the City of Superior and TouchPhrase Development, LLC d/b/a Julota for police case management software in the amount of $31,345.00. 2. Background – The Superior Police Department (SPD) applied for a technology grant in March 2026, in order to address the needs of purchasing a case management system. A request for qualifications (RFQ) was issued by the City on May 16, 2026, seeking proposals from qualified software firms for technology that would meet the needs of the SPD. This software will help the SPD stay connected with clients and community partners, collecting information on referrals to our criminal diversion program, track outreach, store information and for partners to share information back to the SPD. Community partners include EMS, other law enforcement agencies, behavioral health, and public health departments. We received four proposals: Julota, Concourse, Carahsoft, and FSH Technologies. These proposals were reviewed and evaluated by internal staff. It was determined that Julota best meets the needs and requirements of the SPD most closely. Julota is a purpose built application for case management and community connection, and can be ready to deploy in our agency. 3. Budget Source –This software purchase is funded through a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Justice. 4. Recommendation – It is my recommendation to approve the agreement between the City of Superior and TouchPhrase Development, LLC d/b/a Julota in the amount of $31,345.00.
