Council approves polling location changes, suspends rules to adopt resolutions; several routine votes pass unanimously
Summary
The Common Council adopted a package of polling location adjustments, including splitting two wards and designating 1 Way Church as an early voting site; the council also approved several routine motions including a reappointment and the meeting agenda by voice vote.
The Green Bay Common Council voted to change several polling locations for 2025, splitting Ward 29 and Ward 40 out of Colburn into new sites and designating 1 Way Church as an early voting location after Lambeau Fields Lombardi site (1265 Lombardi) was not available.
Clark, the city elections official, said one polling site on the west side had to be moved after the Botanical Gardens became unavailable; staff are seeking larger west-side locations. The council approved moving Ward 29 to Perkins and Ward 40 to Saint Elizabeth and Seaton to create redundancy among nearby polling places. Clark also said the Lambeau Field site is not available for 2025 and that the city will use 1 Way Church (inside the Oneida Nation boundary) as an early voting location.
Alder Johnson moved to suspend the rules and take up all the resolutions in one roll-call vote; Alder Galvin seconded. The council approved suspending the rules, then moved to adopt the resolutions. Alder Johnson made the motion to adopt, seconded by Alder Presley; the clerk announced the measures were adopted unanimously.
The meeting also included routine votes: the council approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Alder Prophitt (seconded by Alder Hinkfuss), and approved the reappointment of Julia Nordyke on a motion by Alder Prophitt (seconded by Alder Eck); both passed by voice vote.
