# City Council Meeting   Monday 2025 07 07

The Eau Claire City Council meeting on July 7, 2025, was dominated by public comment on the city’s zoning code update, tree protections, and housing supply. Speakers urged the council to preserve protections for mature trees, including a proposed 12-inch diameter threshold, while others debated how zoning changes could affect housing affordability and density in Randall Park. Residents also raised concerns about paint emissions from a business near homes and an elementary school and asked the council to provide a forum for further discussion. The council approved a motion, by voice vote, to extend public comment by 20 minutes.

At the end of the transcript, the council moved toward a closed session to discuss bargaining parameters with city employee groups and negotiation direction regarding the Altoona wastewater contract. A motion and second to enter closed session are recorded, but the transcript cuts off during the roll-call vote, so its outcome is not available. No contract award, spending amount, or other purchasing decision is identified in the available transcript.
