The council also approved allowing the Neillsville High School Junior class to have a Haunted Forest Fundraiser in the Listeman Arboretum on October 25th and 26th. They also approved the Neillsville Chamber to use the gazebo and Snietman Town Square for their Christmas Tree Lighting and Santa visit on December 6th. Finally, they approved allowing the CART Center to hang a banner on the gazebo for their ugly sweater walk on December 7th. The council also heard a couple committee reports. They heard the Historic Preservation Committee Report from October 9th. They approved a $2,000 grant for some reconstruction on a downtown property and they tabled a demolition request.
They also heard the Beautification Committee Report from their October 21st meeting. They discussed a proposal from JBC Screenprinting and a Christmas Tree decorating contest. Finally, the council heard the Public Works Report. The usual amount of work was done in the city including cemetery and parks maintenance, equipment maintenance, 4 burials, trimming and pruning trees, maintaining street lighting, filling pot holes, street sweeping, mowing, mulching and more. They also helped with the lighting in Schuster Park and the Sewer Department is installing a third pump at the old plant. They also did some lift station maintenance and maintenance to the plant.
