City Council
Two Rivers will stop adding fluoride to city water Oct. 31 after a 7-2 vote, while the council also approved a new school-voucher line on tax bills. The Flock camera debate remains unresolved despite broad concerns about data access and privacy.
Key Decisions
Council voted 7-2 to end fluoridation of the municipal water supply effective Oct. 31. The decision followed sustained public comment, but the record shows competing claims rather than a shared factual basis—an important public-health policy change made without a referendum.
By a 5-4 vote, council backed a separate tax-bill line showing the school district levy used to replace state aid withheld for private-school vouchers. The line is meant to show the districtwide total, not each property owner's individual voucher share.
Council tabled a sex-offender residency appeal 8-1 for legal review at a work session. It also discussed Flock cameras after residents raised privacy concerns; council members said access had been limited to Two Rivers police, but took no further action.
