# City Council Meeting   Monday 2025 08 11

The Eau Claire City Council meeting, identified in the title as Monday, August 11, 2025 (the metadata also lists a 2026 date), held public hearings and discussions on the proposed land development ordinance and other local ordinances. The land development update would consolidate zoning and subdivision codes, revise stormwater requirements, and incorporate tree-preservation and design standards; speakers discussed potential effects on housing costs and development. The council took no final adoption vote on the land development package during the transcript. Other discussions covered proposed traffic controls and an accessible parking stall, with no procurement actions identified for those items.

The council also heard Visit Eau Claire’s proposed tourism contract terms, including an initial three-year term followed by annual renewals, and proposed room-tax allocations that include a 3% allocation for a two-year destination master plan and a development fund allocation of about $50,000 (approximately 2%) in the proposal. Visit Eau Claire said it plans to issue an RFP to nationally recognized firms for the master plan; no RFP award or contract approval occurred. After public comment, the council voted to extend the comment period and then entered closed session, following a roll-call vote, to provide negotiation direction regarding the Visit Eau Claire contract. No contract award or spending approval was reported.
