Coverage starts in 2025. History is still being collected. 40 listed meetings await collection or refresh. Individual votes appear only when recorded by the clerk; voice votes do not identify each member's position. Tallies count both No and Nay as votes against; individual rows keep the clerk's wording.
Next meeting
Sep 15, 2026, 6:00 PM · Council Chambers, City Hall
Open to the public under Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law; the agenda is on the meeting page. The clerk lists the next meeting shortly before it is held, so far-out dates appear closer to the day.
