Council confirms mayoral appointments and names Wausau Daily Herald official newspaper
Loading...
Summary
The council confirmed mayoral appointments to non-standing boards and commissions and designated the Wausau Daily Herald as the city's official newspaper (motion passed 10–1), with direction to also share notices with the Pilot & Review.
The Wausau Common Council approved confirmations of the mayor’s appointments to non-standing boards and commissions after suspending the rule that would have required their appointment tonight; the suspension carried on a recorded vote and confirmations were processed.
The council then considered a resolution designating an official newspaper for public notices. Several members noted that online outlets have broader reach; Tom Neal and others suggested continuing to provide materials to Pilot & Review in addition to the official printed paper. The motion to adopt the Wausau Daily Herald as the official notice newspaper, with direction to staff to also notify Pilot & Review where appropriate, passed 10–1.
A separate vote on appointment to the Water Works Commission resulted in Michael Martins being selected by a 7–4 vote earlier in the meeting. The council also nominated and accepted Alder Sarah Watson to serve as the council’s Plan Commission representative by unanimous consent.
