# City Council Meeting   Monday 2025 06 09

The City of Eau Claire City Council held a public discussion on the proposed 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), followed by a work session, on June 9, 2025, according to the meeting title and schedule discussed in the transcript. Staff described a proposed CIP of approximately $255 million, funded through a mix of grants, fees, room-tax revenue, existing balances, savings, and borrowing; borrowing was identified as about 53% of the plan. Major projects highlighted included roughly $8 million for Fire Station 2, $5 million in promissory-note funding for citywide street improvements, $250,000 for flexible housing initiatives, work on the Galloway Street parking ramp and a proposed overpass supported by federal grant funds, and water, sewer, park, and transit facility improvements. Staff said amendments were due June 13, with another public discussion scheduled for June 23 and a council adoption vote planned for June 24. No procurement awards or spending motions were approved at this meeting.

Public comments requested that the city study and potentially fund a staircase at Mount Simon Park, and raised concerns about noise at the Galloway Street ramp and questions about staffing, enforcement, and implementation of paid downtown parking. These were requests and concerns, not decisions. The council also received a presentation from the Housing Our Neighbors Planning Collaborative on homelessness and affordable housing; discussion focused on coordination, planning, and potential future partnerships, with no funding commitment made. The transcript’s meeting title indicates June 9, 2025, although the supplied meeting-date metadata lists a 2026 recording timestamp.
