SECTIONS
FULTON COUNTY The Fulton County Republican Committee announced 45 candidates for county, town and city elections Friday, including District Attorney Chad Brown for county judge and surrogate and Scott Jeffers for city of Johnstown mayor.
Fulton County Republican Chairwoman Sue McNeil introduced the candidates at a rally in front of the county’s historic courthouse building in Johnstown. Despite frigid temperatures in the teens and nearly everyone in attendance wearing masks due to the coronavirus pandemic, the rally was well-attended by approximately 50 people, a good portion of whom were current or former elected officials.
One meeting per month discussed in Shullsburg
SHULLSBURG – Mayor Emmet Reilly conducted the City of Shullsburg meeting via phone on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021 at 6:30 p.m.
The council discussed reducing city council meetings from two meetings per month to one meeting per month.
Alder Verne Jackson said, “I’ve looked into this. Several city councils around us only meet once a month including Cuba City, Lancaster, Benton and Mineral Point. I think it’s a way to simplify things and give Marsha Einsweiler (clerk) more time to work on other stuff. A lot of times we have things on the agenda that we can wait to have at our next meeting. Other communities are doing it and it works for them. There will be bumps at first.”

JOHNSTOWN The Common Council entered into an on-call contract with an Albany engineering firm in action approved at its organizational meeting Tuesday night at City Hall.
The council passed a resolution to execute an agreement with Greenman-Pedersen Inc. to provide on-call engineering services to the office of City Engineer Christopher Vose.
The firm will provide the city with general engineering, public works and construction-related services during 2021.
Greenman-Pedersen will perform professional services on an hourly basis, with the maximum amount not to exceed $15,000 set by purchase order.
Fourth Ward Councilman Max Spritzer asked whether it was the same dollar amount as 2020, and Mayor Vern Jackson said it was.

JOHNSTOWN Johnstown Mayor Vern Jackson’s 2021 “State of the City” address Tuesday night focused almost entirely on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the city.
It was Jackson’s last such speech delivered at the Common Council’s organizational meeting at City Hall because he is not seeking re-election this year.
The “State of the City “ speech began by noting that his 2020 address exhibited a “very optimistic attitude,” as to how last year would progress. That was before COVID and the city had no property tax increase and was experiencing a downtown revitalization.
“Without much notice, a ton of bricks fell on the country when COVID-19 took control,” Jackson stated. “This was a brand new experience causing the country as a whole to shut down completely and develop a new strategy. Not an easy task.”
