The Black River Falls Common Council met Wednesday, November 4th, at City Hall. Mayor Jay Eddy presided, with six alderpersons present in person or remotely. Two alderpersons were excused.
Council members approved the minutes from the October 21st meeting and accepted the latest reports from the Business Improvement District and Utility Commission.
One major discussion involved the city’s Housing Authority, which was established in 2013 but has had no activity. City Attorney Mark Radcliffe outlined concerns about the costs and ongoing need for the authority. Following discussion, the Council reached a consensus to dissolve it. The City Attorney will prepare a resolution for consideration at a future meeting.
The Council also approved three appointments to the Business Improvement District Board. Kylee Wussow was appointed to a one-year term, while Duane Johnson and Andrea Hoffman received two-year terms. All terms begin January 1st, 2027.
The proposed 2027 Black River Falls EMS operating and capital budgets were presented to the Council. No action was taken on the EMS budgets, and approval was postponed until a later meeting.
The proposed 2027 city operating and capital budgets were also reviewed, with no changes from the previous presentation.
The public hearing on the 2027 city budget is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18th, at 6 p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
