Common Council Test Meeting - October 13, 2026

This was a test meeting of the La Crosse Common Council, presided over by Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey. The meeting agenda originally listed the date as October 1, 2026, but this summary uses the provided date of October 13, 2026, reflecting a discrepancy between the agenda and the recorded meeting date. All items on the agenda were designated as test items. No minutes or transcript are available, so no discussion, public comments, or votes are recorded.
