Aberdine Authorizes Interior Drainage Study to Influence FEMA Flood Mapping
The City Council approved an interior drainage study by HDR Incorporated for a not-to-exceed amount of $299,000. This study is necessary because FEMA's remapping of Brown County does not adequately account for Aberdine's existing storm sewers, drainage ditches, and retention ponds. The goal is to create a model that demonstrates the effectiveness of the city's infrastructure to FEMA, aiming to establish an accurate flood plain and prevent parts of the north side from being incorrectly designated as high-risk flood zones. HDR was selected through an RFP process, and Helms and Associates will provide survey work. The study is budgeted at $150,000 annually, with a proposed completion date of June 2027.
Aberdine Approves Purchase of New Truck for Engineering Department
The City Council approved the purchase of a 2026 Ford F-150 for the engineering department from Pearson Ford for $44,468. This new truck will replace an 18-year-old vehicle and is necessary for transporting surveying and concrete testing equipment. Pearson Ford agreed to match a state contract price for the purchase.
Aberdine Initiates Interior Drainage Study to Influence FEMA Flood Mapping
The City Council is considering an interior drainage study by HDR Incorporated with a not-to-exceed amount of $299,000. This study is being conducted because FEMA is remapping Brown County and does not fully account for Aberdine's existing conveyance systems, such as storm sewers and drainage ditches. The goal is to create a model that demonstrates the effectiveness of Aberdine's infrastructure to FEMA, aiming to create an accurate flood plain and potentially prevent large areas of the north side of town from being incorrectly included in a higher-risk flood zone. HDR was selected after an RFP process. The study will focus on the west side of the levy, covering the storm sewer network. Helms and Associates will be subcontracted for survey work. The study is budgeted for $150,000 annually, and the proposed completion date is June 2027.
Aberdine City Council Approves Consent Calendar Unanimously
The City Council unanimously approved the consent calendar, which included eight items of routine city business such as event permits and contractor licenses. The motion to approve was made and seconded, with all in favor saying 'I'.
Aberdine Council Approves Acquisition of New Street Sweeper
The City Council approved the purchase of a 2026 Elgen Pelican street sweeper from Sanitation Products, using a Sourcewell contract.

The new sweeper will enter daily service, and the 2015 spare model will be surplused.
