The Middleton Common Council unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing Jan. 19, 2026 as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and urging residents to observe the national day of service.
The proclamation text, read as part of the meeting, said Dr. King "devoted his life to advancing equality, justice, and dignity for all people through nonviolent action," and the council voted to adopt the proclamation after a motion and second. The motion was recorded in the transcript as "Schaeffer moves" and Alder Nelson seconded; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
The council also approved the consent agenda as submitted following a motion from a finance and personnel representative and a recorded second. No items were removed for separate discussion.
During public comment, Kelly Hilliard, the city's sustainability coordinator, urged alder members to nominate people and organizations for the Sustainable Middleton awards; she said the application is live online and the deadline to apply is Feb. 27.
The meeting included a series of committee and community announcements, including events organized by the Chamber and a community blood drive; no additional formal council actions were taken during those reports.
