CITY OF FAIRFAX
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
December 10, 2024
A regular meeting of the Fairfax City Council was held December 10, 2024. Mayor Beer
called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. Councilmembers present were: Tom Nurre, Mike Daly,
Dan Wozniak, Nick Volk, and Marianne Wainwright.
Motioned by Volk, seconded by Wainwright to approve the consent agenda. Ayes: Nurre,
Daly, Wozniak, Volk, and Wainwright. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Chris Philipp reported the proposed Annexation Map is in the packet but we have not
received a draft of the agreement.
Dean Zelle with Central Insurance reviewed the UHC renewal quote. He presented an option
of an HRA policy through Wellmark. The life policies can be moved to Hartford for a savings of
about $600.00.
Motioned by Daly, seconded by Wozniak to move the employee health coverages to
Wellmark with the HRA option as shown as of the February 1, 2025, renewal. Ayes: Nurre,
Daly, Wozniak, Volk, and Wainwright. Nays: None. Motion carried.
A Linn County Deputy Sheriff reviewed their report.
Shane Wicks reviewed his information about costs involved with sewer along E Southview
Road. It seems the best option is for the developer to extend the sewer. Roadway improvements
must also be considered.
Bruce with the Library Board, as well as David and Mindy with OPN discussed the
preliminary plans for a library expansion. The size is based on the Needs Assessment Report.
The cost estimate is about three million. A new library foundation will be doing fund raising.
We already have over a million available. The City will look into purchasing the lot on the
corner as this ground will be needed for parking.
Mike Sankot reviewed the cost estimate of $300,000 for a fire station expansion. This will
be part of the January budget discussion.
