Public Policy & General Government Meeting - June 8, 2026

The City of Stevens Point held a Public Policy & General Government meeting on June 8, 2026. The meeting included approval of several temporary and reserve Class B beer and liquor licenses for local businesses and events, with unanimous votes to pass these items. Additionally, the committee approved requests to hold community events such as a bike ride, a fun run, and a national night out. Two ordinance amendments were discussed: one to move the meeting time earlier, which passed unanimously, and another concerning regulations on keeping chickens, ducks, rabbits, and bees. The latter ordinance amendment, which included provisions to allow staff to issue certain permits without board approval and set limits on beekeeping volumes, was not approved due to concerns about the beekeeping volume limits and lack of detailed information. The matter will be revisited with more data at a future council meeting. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
