Stevens Point personnel committee elects Alder Niebuhn chair and Alder Lang vice chair
Summary
At a brief special meeting on April 21, the City of Stevens Point Personnel Committee chose Alder Niebuhn as chair and Alder Lang as vice chair by unanimous voice votes; the session was procedural and no policy items were discussed.
The City of Stevens Point Personnel Committee convened a special meeting on April 21, 2026, and elected Alder Niebuhn as chair and Alder Lang as vice chair in unanimous procedural votes. The meeting, called to order at 6:08 p.m., focused solely on internal leadership appointments and adjourned at 6:12 p.m.
Committee attendance was recorded at the start of the meeting when a speaker listed committee members Neebawn, Olsen, Lang, Burr and Donahue. The first agenda item opened was the election of the committee chair. A committee member nominated "Mary," and after nominations were closed the presiding officer cast a unanimous ballot for Alder Niebuhn to serve as chair. A motion to confirm the selection was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote with no opposing responses recorded.
Following the chair election, the presiding officer invited Alder Niebuhn to assume duties and introduced the second agenda item: the election of a vice chair. Committee members discussed potential candidates and a speaker suggested either Alder Lang or Alder Burr given their prior experience. After some back-and-forth and a withdrawal of a conflicting nomination, a motion to appoint Alder Lang as vice chair by unanimous consent was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
No policy matters, appointments beyond leadership, or committee directives were recorded in the transcript. The meeting concluded at approximately 6:12 p.m. A meeting participant noted that videos of the city's meetings are available at stevenspoint.com/videos.
Note on transcript ambiguities: the transcript contains inconsistent spellings for one committee member (appearing as “Neebawn,” “Neibone,” and “Niebuhn”); this article uses the form "Alder Niebuhn" as it appears when the chair was named. The transcript also does not clearly identify the mover and seconder by full, unambiguous names for the vice-chair motion; where the record is unclear, the article reports only what the transcript directly shows.
