Defining waste at Municpal Level City of Wisconsin Dells

Automotion is an extremely successful event that was incubated in the City of Wisconsin Dells- transitioned to the Village of Lake Delton - and both communities continue to benefit from the huge number of visitors.

The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau is an anchor organization driving event visitors to the City of Wisconsin Dells.  The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau receives public money collected through resort tax to continually perform their important service.

Kilbourn City Live is an up and coming community event that has the presentation to greatly expand the number of City of Wisconsin Dells visitors.  Promotion of Kilbourn City Live occurs in part through a partnership of public resources, private contributions, and volunteers.

A disconnect was noticed when the Kilbourn City Live event money was allocated to print a 9 inch by 3 inch card to be handed out by volunteers during the Wo- Zha- Wa fall festival.  As volunteers began handing the cards to Wo-Zha-Wa visitors they were rapidly informed the activity was illegal and sent home.

This is written to help the City of Wisconsin Dells residents understand the idea of waste in the employment of publicly collected money.  The desired outcome is to organize, promote, and conduct events that bring more visitors to the City of Wisconsin Dells.

In this example:

Public funded enforcement is working against the public funded efforts of the Visitor and Convention Bureau.  Residents can begin to resent paying money in to public funds that create this non-productive activity.  Please vote Louis Kutzke for Mayor of Wisconsin Dells on April 3, 2018.
