The La Crosse Common Council passed the bulk of its consent agenda on Monday, approving routine minutes, finance reports, contracts, appointments and several ordinance changes with little debate.

Key outcomes included:
- Approval of May 8, 2025 minutes (unanimous).
- Receipt and filing of the April financial report (motion by Council Member Calo; second Padeschi) — unanimous.
- Resolution approving 2025 bills and engineering estimates — adopted unanimously.
- Contract award: 25-0570 — contract with Pembroke Companies Inc. for 2025 miscellaneous sidewalk infill, $112,470 (mover: Council Member Kalo; second: Council Member Padeschi) — passed unanimously.
- Appointments to multiple boards (ethics, heritage preservation, human rights, La Crosse Center Board, parks, Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory, etc.) — confirmed with a 12-yes, 1-abstention vote.
- Suspension of Council Rule 15 for several items — passed unanimously.
- Ordinances adopted, including amendments regarding storage of personal property (item 25-0601) and creation of Board of Building and Housing Appeals sections (25-06100) — each passed unanimously.
- Resolution creating and appropriating design funds for Green Bay Street (Ninth to Fourteenth) STP‑Urban project — approved; staff explained up to $260,000 for design and delivery costs would come from unappropriated street funds.
- Resolution appropriating additional funding for the citywide traffic signal interconnect and synchronization program — approved.

Licensing and closed-session actions:
- A request to move the Pettibone Park Resort license and a related lease item to closed session occurred; the council convened in closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(g) to consult with legal counsel. After returning to open session the council took action on the Pettibone-related item; a motion was made to grant the license subject to compliance and the meeting record indicates unanimous consent to proceed.

Several items were removed from the consent agenda for separate consideration, including a development agreement for Haven on Main LLC (reported separately) and one license tied to the closed-session lease.

Ending: The bulk of routine business was handled through the consent agenda, with a few items extracted for discussion or closed-session review. Council members asked staff to provide details on funding sources where appropriate (for example, design funds for the Green Bay Street project).
