City Council Public Hearing 10/12/2026

The City of Eau Claire City Council held a public hearing and discussion meeting on October 12, 2026. The council heard public hearings on vacating a portion of an alley near West Grand Avenue and two rezoning requests: property near Scully Drive and US Highway 53, and property at 575, 619, and 809 Cameron Street. Staff said the Scully Drive rezoning would remove remnants of an old planned development and provide flexibility under the current land development code. The Cameron Street request, brought forward by Mayo Clinic to support a proposed staff childcare facility, would change the zoning to corridor commercial. Council discussion covered parking plans and ongoing staff work with Mayo Clinic on a possible trail easement or other trail connection; no procurement or contract award was identified. The transcript does not show council action on the hearing items.

The council also held a public discussion on a proposed resolution affirming confidence in Eau Claire’s election officials and supporting safe and fair elections in 2026. Council members Serrano and Miller presented the resolution, and residents spoke in support and raised concerns about potential interference or disruption. The transcript ends before any vote or final action on the resolution is shown. No spending or procurement activity was identified in the transcript.
