Council issues community proclamations and approves multiple code updates
Summary
Mayor issued proclamations recognizing Senior Center Month, Building and Code Staff Appreciation Day, Suicide Prevention Month and Hunger Action Month; the council also approved ordinances updating cemetery code and adopting gender‑neutral language and a revised flag display policy.
During mayor's business the mayor read proclamations designating September 2026 as National Senior Center Month, Building Inspector and Code Staff Appreciation Day, Suicide Prevention Month and Hunger Action Month, and invited relevant community representatives to the dais. A local suicide‑prevention advocate, Kelsey, thanked the council and spoke about her experiences.
On code matters the council approved ordinance 26‑1113 to correct remaining references in the municipal code after a prior title change (park and recreation director → director of parks and urban forestry), adopted ordinance 26‑1115 to replace gendered pronouns with gender‑neutral language across city code, and approved an amendment to the flag display policy specifying that when a flag is flown a site should display either the U.S. flag or the Wisconsin flag; that motion passed with Alder Tucker Long recorded as voting no.
