02-18-2026 Council Meeting

The City of Neenah Council meeting on February 18, 2026, focused extensively on downtown parking issues, including an overview of the city's parking inventory, obligations, and future plans. The community development director presented findings that the city currently has about 1,700 parking spots downtown, with obligations to various businesses such as Plexus and Alta. The city is considering amending parking agreements, creating a master parking agreement, and potentially constructing a surface parking lot instead of a costly parking ramp, which was previously included in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The meeting also included approval of several procurement items, such as the purchase of a Bobcat mini excavator, a K9 and training program funded by the K9 trust fund, upgrades to parking enforcement equipment, and replacement of the city hall fire alarm system. Additionally, the council discussed legal services engagements and personnel reclassifications. The meeting concluded with a move to closed session to deliberate on property purchases and parking agreements.
