At its Sept. 4 meeting the La Crosse Finance & Personnel Committee approved numerous routine and consent items including state municipal agreements for traffic implementation (several project IDs), accessible PROWAG pedestrian signals, an emergency vehicle preemption replacement at 42 intersections, a 20‑year lease extension with J. F. Brennan Company Inc., a Green Island Tennis Complex use agreement with the Coulee Region Tennis Association, WisDOT utility funding for State Highway 16 reconstruction, and transfers of TID funds to the Redevelopment Authority for acquisition in the Riverpointe District. Most motions passed unanimously; the Downtown Neighborhood Association paint-and-fix‑up grant expansion passed 5‑yes with 1 abstention.
Council asked planning and finance staff for clarifying details on the Riverpointe TID transfer and the scale of the parcel under consideration (roughly a 3‑acre comparably sized parcel), and staff told the committee transfers come from existing TID cash and would not raise taxes or levy for residents.
The committee also received and filed the annual independent audit for 12/31/2024, noting zero deficiencies.
