The students are from the second, third and fifth grades. This is the third month in which Mayor Rob Unruh has invited student council members to open the city council meeting.
After opening the meeting, Mayor Unruh public thanked the community and all citizens for the support shown over the loss of St. Croix County Sheriff’s Deputy Kaitie Leising, who was killed in the line of duty on May 6 just south of Glenwood City.
In other city council business they reviewed a variance application request from James Johnston for a setback variance to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Approved a resolution to discontinue two dedicated public alleys that were plotted on what was the old school property.

Some of the old school buildings were built on the plotted part of these alleys.
