The Neenah City Council convened on March 19, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including housing concerns, traffic engineering updates, and upcoming presentations.

The meeting began with a report on the progress of an updated property list intended for a consultant tasked with creating new brochure ideas. Following this, Alderman Ellis raised a proposal regarding the management of noxious weeds and the condition of residential properties. He suggested that the Public Works Committee consider a proactive approach, where city officials, including police and sanitation workers, would report potential issues they observe while conducting their duties. This initiative aims to enhance neighborhood conditions by addressing problems before they escalate. Alderman Lundgren expressed support for the idea and indicated that the committee would explore it further.

Next, Alderman Paul Knoll inquired about the status of the traffic engineering position, which has been vacant for three months. Director Kiser confirmed that discussions regarding a succession plan are ongoing, and they plan to advertise for a new engineer soon. This update was welcomed by the council, as it is crucial for maintaining effective traffic management in the city.

Alderman Weber formally requested a presentation on the Carpenter Preserve at the upcoming April 2 council meeting, confirming that Director Kading would be prepared with updates.

The meeting concluded without any additional unfinished or new business, indicating a focused session on the discussed topics. The council's next steps include further exploration of the housing initiative and the anticipated traffic engineering recruitment.
