Papers of a former La Crosse City Council member Joseph Addis, 1975-1993. Arranged alphabetically by topic or committee, the collection contains a sampling of documents that city council dealt with mainly from 1984-1993, ranging from agreements to zoning, but should not be viewed as complete or as a record of decisions by the Council during this time. Although Addis served on the La Crosse (Wis.) City Council from 1969 to his death in 1992, the collection does not contain any biographical or personal materials or information.

City Council member Joseph J. Addis was a letter carrier with the U.S. Post Office in La Crosse for 32 years, and represented the North Side district on the City Council from 1969 to his death in 1992. Addis served twice as president of the Council from 1979-1981, and served several terms as chair of the finance committee.
