- Meeting Overview:
During the latest Winsted City Council meeting, members approved payments for emergency tree services following a severe storm that caused extensive damage. The council authorized payments to two service providers, Silverberg Tree Service and Broy Farms, for their efforts in trimming and stump grinding after the storm on the week of July 28, 2025. The payments, not exceeding $10,200 and $450 respectively, were essential for addressing damage to park and boulevard trees.
Additionally, the council discussed the renewal of health and ancillary insurance policies for city employees, effective January 1, 2026, and accepted a grant of $9,571 from Compier Financial Fund for Rural America.
