Loading...
Summary
The council appointed Eric Schoelander to the Plan Commission and John Houser to the Parks, Recreation and Library Board and recognized OB Johnson for roughly 10 years of service; both appointments passed unanimously.
At its Feb. 10 meeting, the Onalaska Common Council approved two appointments and recognized a longtime volunteer.
Mayor announced the appointment of Eric Schoelander to the Plan Commission; Diane Wolf moved the appointment, and Larry Jurasic seconded. The council approved the appointment by roll call.
The council also recognized OB Johnson for approximately 10 years of service to the Park, Recreation and Library Board; board members praised his role during the OmniCenter transition and his scheduling contributions.
Mayor then recommended John Houser for appointment to the Parks, Recreation and Library Board based on his involvement in youth programs; the council approved that appointment unanimously as well.
Why it matters: appointments fill membership on advisory boards that help guide planning, parks, recreation and library programs; recognizing long-serving volunteers highlights civic service.
Next steps: newly appointed members will serve according to board terms and the council thanked OB Johnson for his service.
