Pickleball Tournaments Approved for Makanda Courts

City Council Approves RFSOQ for Affordable Housing Development on Nicholas Drive
The City Council moved forward with the issuance of a Request for Statements of Qualification (RFSOQ) for an affordable multi-family housing development on Nicholas Drive, following the rezoning of the area. The RFSOQ aims to attract developers to build housing that aligns with market rates while exploring mechanisms like Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and the city's affordable housing fund to help manage costs. Concerns were raised regarding the definition of 'affordability' and whether the proposed rent levels ($1,675-$1,750/month) are truly accessible to lower-income residents, and how future rent increases would be managed. The council expressed a desire to ensure quality development and protect taxpayers.
St. Joseph Catholic Parish Fall Festival Approved for Wilson Avenue
The City Council approved a special event application for St. Joseph Catholic Parish to host their annual Fall Festival on Wilson Avenue, between 9th Street East and 10th Street East, on Sunday, September 20th, 2026. The event will require street closures, and the city will provide barricades. Setup will occur on September 19th, and teardown will conclude by 9 p.m. on the 20th. City staff found no issues with the request.
City Council Approves Filing Lawsuit for Public Nuisance at 723 Ballantyne Road
The City Council entered closed session to discuss strategy related to litigation concerning a public nuisance at 723 Ballantyne Road, Menominee, Wisconsin. Upon returning to open session, the council voted to approve filing a summons and complaint to address this public nuisance.
City Council Approves Nicholas Drive Rezoning for Housing Development
The City Council considered and approved Ordinance 2026-10, rezoning a parcel of land along Nicholas Drive from agriculture to multiple-family residential (R3). This decision was made following public hearings and discussions where proponents highlighted the urgent need for housing, citing a significant housing shortage and a seller's market. The land is deemed unsuitable for industrial development due to wetlands and topography. The plan commission had previously recommended this rezoning with a 4-1 vote. The council also approved waiving the first and second readings of the ordinance to expedite the process.
