Wisconsin Dells TIF Lower Return 4 Schools

Tax incremental financing (TIF) is a program used by the City of Wisconsin Dells to finance development cost.  In the absence of market driven development the City functions as the co-signor- holds loan responsibility.

Tax incremental financing (TIF) means the City of Wisconsin Dells receives - consumes the additional property taxes generated by the development - that would have gone to other taxing jurisdictions - like schools.

This can be described as a cost shift upon residents - but the City of Wisconsin Dells lacks the population to ever compensate.

Streamlining Permitting Process Wisconsin Dells

In order to better compete with Wisconsin Cities seeking to attract business operators the City of Wisconsin Dells needs to improve the efficiency and predictability of their permitting process.  This involves shortening the timeline of the permitting process (digitalize) of projects that are performed in a short period of time by a local handyman - quite different than a development - construction of a new building.

One stop shop at the Municipality means getting the required information to the permit granting authority occurs interdepartmentally.  The employee staffing the one stop shop at the Municipal level has the knowledge to clearly explain the activities that require a permit.  This also includes having knowledge of the process to assure compliance .

This is a rather basic improvement that is now expected to be a service that is delivered through the Municipality.

Kutzke 2 Host Meeting Between State DOT and City Counsel

In the first week after being sworn in as the next mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells- Louis Kutzke plans to arrange to host a meeting between the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the City counsel.  This is to instruct the counsel on the terms of the Municipal Connecting Highways contract as it relates to a temporary obstruction upon a traffic signal intersection.  Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on April 3rd- help him move the boat from the road so vehicle traffic can flow.

Kutzke Within 145 Votes In Primary 1500 free votes

When you evaluate  the numbers for the Wisconsin Dells primary election you see Kutzke is within 145 votes.  One important variable is on February 20th most of south central Wisconsin was under a bad ice storm - all area schools were closed.

The City of Wisconsin Dells has approximately 2000 eligible voters spread out across 4 Counties.  In the Feb 20th primary election only people from 2 Counties came to vote.  Adding up the total votes for the Feb 20th primary in Wisconsin Dells we see -

EW got 274 votes

LK got 129 votes

CS got 7 votes

So of the 2000 eligible voters in the City of Wisconsin Dells primary election on Feb 20th - only 410 people voted.  2000 minus 410 = 1590 - which means that are approximately 1500 free votes floating around for the April 3rd general election.

When you couple the 145 vote spread with the availability of 1500 votes - one begins to see why the emotions have been ramping up.

Wisconsin Dells Use CDA Funds 2 Meet Credit Needs Business Operators

The triple aim of Louis Kutzke's candidacy for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells is :

- Build visibility to things that matter to residents
- Bolster local commerce
- Reduce Municipal debt

How do we know commerce in the commercial district needs to be improved?  Residents are invited to go in to the City of Wisconsin Dells Municipal Web Site under the posting (CDA) community development authority October 23, 2017.  This summary of the meeting describes the creation of a loan contract of 100 thousand dollars for the purchase of the 321 Broadway property by an individual- the City is in 2nd position to the Bank of Wisconsin Dells as a lien holder. 

This is evidence for the greater dependence upon City of Wisconsin Dells (CDA) community development authority funds to meet the credit needs of the business operators in the down town commercial district.  This describes a Municipal reaction being applied to compensate for the conditions created through unsound policy.  The communities limited understanding of proper business practice has created a climate where local operators cannot have access to money through traditional lending institutions.

It is beneficial to make the connection between the policy informed function of the Municipality and the lack of business development and growth across the commercial district.  The City of Wisconsin Dells lacks the access to funds to continue to create loans for potential business operators this activity is not self sustaining.

Wisconsin Dells Never Been More Vulnerable 2 Litigation

The triple aim of Louis Kutzke's candidacy for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells is :

- Build visibility to things that matter to residents
- Bolster local commerce
- Reduce Municipal debt

Stronger observance of private property rights is valued by the residents.  This calls for the elimination of the appointed position that delivers financial penalties to City of Wisconsin Dells residents for property deterioration.

In the State of Wisconsin this activity is regulated by the Real Estate Industry.  If the inspector has not attended classes- taken an exam- and listed upon the registry with an assigned number - the delivery is infringing upon the rights of private property owners.

This legally unsound practice places the Municipality at risk for class action litigation.  Understanding the Municipality carries a debt load greater than 30 million dollars - means the City of Wisconsin Dells lacks the risk reserve to properly fund a costly litigation process.

Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on April 3rd - a common sense approach to improving the management of real life issues.

Wisconsin Dells Duchess Plaza Reduced Nearby Property Value?

The question we must ask is has the acquisition of the roadway (Oak Street and Broadway) which now limits the private property owners ready access to State Highway 13 decreased the property value.  The bilateral privately owned real property (land) on Oak Street and Broadway was purchased and maintained enjoying the benefit of ready access to State Highway 13.

A Before and After Appraisal Report could indicate a drop in private property value caused by the Municipal improvement for which the State Highway 13 ready access was eliminated.  Understand that as your private property value is reduced - requiring a less than profitable sale- others are benefitting at your expense.

Please vote Louis Kutzke on April 3rd for mayor of Wisconsin Dells - he is going to move the boat from the roadway and allow vehicle traffic to flow.
