River Falls Common Council 05/12/26

The City of River Falls Common Council held a meeting on May 12, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The council approved bills totaling $2,464,522.74 and passed an ordinance rezoning property in Sterling Ponds Corporate Park from Conservancy to Industrial to facilitate industrial development. They also approved a resolution granting a public access easement on Outlot 3 of Man Valley Corporate Park to allow emergency access to the Valley View Apartment Development, supporting a low to moderate income housing project. Additionally, the council adopted the Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan, funded by a $200,000 federal planning grant, aimed at improving transportation safety and positioning the city for future federal and state implementation funding. The meeting concluded with proclamations recognizing Public Works Week and World Bee Day, and a closed session to discuss legal strategy related to litigation. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the rezoning and easement approvals support ongoing development projects with potential procurement implications.
