Menasha Council Approves Easements for Road Reconstruction, Permits for Business Expansion, and Habitat for Humanity Property Transfer
The Menasha Common Council approved two recommendations from the Planning Commission regarding temporary limited easements for the reconstruction of Wisconsin 114 Plank Road. The first, for parcel 31 (project ID 4065-17-71), and the second, for parcel 81 (project ID 4065-18-21), involve accepting nominal payments for these easements. The council also approved a temporary expansion of premises permit for City Limits at 544 4th Street for July 18th, 2026, and August 1st, 2026. Additionally, the council approved a transfer of real estate from the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Menasha to Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity for 1100 Providence Terrace, parcel number 77001504. This transfer facilitates the relocation of a historical house to Menasha to save housing stock, with a target completion date in late October.
Menasha Approves 2027 Fire Rescue Cost Distribution Formula
The Menasha Common Council approved the 2027 cost distribution formula for the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue services. The formula allocates costs based on population, equalized value, number of calls, and square mileage. For 2027, Neenah's share is set at 60.68% and Menasha's share at 39.32%. This split is noted to fluctuate slightly year to year but generally remains around a 60-40 division.

The Menasha Common Council approved amendments to the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Menasha Professional Police Association WPPA LEER Local 603. The first amendment allows the police union to receive the physical fitness incentive for 2026, based on favorable city numbers and decreased overtime costs observed. The second amendment, effective January 1st, 2027, through December 31st, 2027, formalizes the continuation of this incentive for the following year, without the previously included mid-year review clause, reflecting confidence in favorable financial outcomes.
