MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) â There will not be a new mayor taking over in the city of Marshfield anytime soon after leaders voted to table further discussion on the matter until after a new Council is seated.
WDLB Radio in Marshfield reports the action was part of Tuesdayâs regular city council meeting during which some Alders expressed an interest in exploring other forms of government including a City Manager style of Government.
âIâve heard that tossed around by quite a few people in the community actually,â said Alder Rebecca Spiros. She adds that sheâs unfamiliar with that form of Government herself, so sheâd like more information to pass along to constituents.
Marfield Council Deadlocks on New Public Utility Building, Mayor Casts Tie-breaking Vote By Mike Leischner

MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) By the narrowest of margins, the City of Marshfield will be getting a new public power and water utility building on Central Avenue.
Alders voted 5-5 to approve borrowing some $20 million to fund the project during Tuesday’s council meeting. That tie was then broken by Mayor Bob McManus, who voted yes despite financial concerns by some on the council.
Alder Ken Bargender said the current building dates back to 1966, meaning it’s not nearly as old as many of the houses that are currently being occupied in the city.
