Wisconsin Dells Public Private Improvements Direct Visitor Dollars 2 Slough Marina

Pictured is a grand- brand new parking lot placed by the River Inn Resort along River Road in the City of Wisconsin Dells.  This improvement upon the property was funded through the private owners.

The City of Wisconsin Dells Municipality has scheduled an extensive construction project to enhance the walk way along Jenkins Memorial Park - which runs parallel to the Wisconsin Dells River Walk - improving foot traffic to the River Road Slough Marina.

This activity at both the Private and Public level helps the community better perceive the outcome.
The improvements upon the property move visitor dollars in to the City of Wisconsin Dells River Slough Marina which is the destination of the Wisconsin Dells River Walk.

The challenge is for the City of Wisconsin Dells to structure policy at the municipal level in a manner that facilitates the ability of varied business modals to deliver the desired goods and services to the participating visitors directed in to this area.

Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.

Juneau County Enters Lawsuit Against Opioid Manufacturers in Wisconsin

Juneau County has joined 12 other Wisconsin Counties in filing a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers.  Juneau County is asking for compensatory and punitive damages for the substantial costs they spend to combat the problems caused by addiction to opioids manufactured by these companies.

The Counties are filing a lawsuit with the firms Crueger Dickinson and Simmons Hanly Conroy from which they can directly receive compensation from a potential settlement or ruling. The lawsuit lists:

- Deceptive trade practice
- Public nuisance
- Unjust enrichment
-Intentional misinterpretation

A big part of this is the strain placed on emergency protective services finding care for children of parents who can become incarcerated or placed in inpatient treatment with improper use of opioids.

Add Value 2 Wisconsin Dells and Lake Delton Relationship

The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau performs an important service that links the City of Wisconsin Dells with the Village of Lake Delton. The primary revenue producing industry for both communities is tourism. The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau delivers the marketing that direct visitors in to the 2 communities.

For this service the City of Wisconsin Dells and the Village of Lake Delton pay the Visitor and Convention Bureau a percentage of the received money contributed by business operators through the collected resort tax.  The sinking number of operating business modals in the City of Wisconsin Dells can result in a lower amount of resort tax money available to support the much needed services the Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau provides.

Re-visiting the City of Wisconsin Dells Municipal policy with the intention to produce an increased number of individual business operators with varied modals is activity that helps sustain our long standing mutually beneficial relationship with the Village of Lake Delton. Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.

Wisconsin Dells Facilitate Entrepreneurial Activity Support Artists Efforts

The City of Wisconsin Dells is fertile ground for the implementation of Municipal initiatives that assist the artist community to monetize their efforts. The purpose  at the Municipal level being to increase utilization of public shared space.

The City of Wisconsin Dells is home to the LEAF - Little Eagle Arts Foundation and an artist studio is being developed above the Winnebago Gift Shop.  A well known pottery artist and glass artisans operate across the community just to name a few.  Part of the Municipal effort would be to embed displays within shared public space to enhance the experience for the user.

Maintaining secure locations designed to display the creations of local artists lends variety within the shared public space encouraging return visits.  The exposure for the artist initiates the monetization of their efforts.

The policy focus should aid in the development and expansion of the artisan network which benefits consuming visitors through efficiencies while bolstering the local economy.  Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.

Repeal is Way 2 Change Wisconsin Dells Council Rules

Repealing a Municipal ordinance or resolution is typically to take back.  Repealing to revoke a Municipal level rule eliminates the rule altogether.  This is more efficient than amending - which would add the change but keep a portion of the rule in place.

Recall that a resolution is a declaration (rule) concerning a subject not controlled by an ordinance.  Resolutions are some what easier to make and easier to repeal than an ordinance.  The City of Wisconsin Dells Clerk and staff should record all the decisions made and maintain a record of those decisions.

Enacting a Municipal ordinance requires a motion and second to adopt and an affirmative vote of a majority of all members of the City of Wisconsin Dells Council - not just those present at the meeting.  This can involve the roll call vote.  The City of Wisconsin Dells Clerk to finalize must wait the 2 weeks before assigning the number of record, and the enacting.

Motions are just a Council member making a proposal to take an action- for the governing body to decide upon.  A simple example would be a proposal of express repeal to revoke a rule that defines a property owners ability to post information or advertising in the interior window of store fronts.

All Municipal level resolutions and ordinances are created and recorded with the intention of facilitating future Council activity that will change the rules to best meet the residents needs at the time.

City of Wisconsin Dells Carries Massive Debt Load

Some how as a community it needs to become ok to talk about the massive ( north of 30 million dollars) debt load influencing Municipal interactions with City of Wisconsin Dells residents and business operators.

We are experiencing late stages related to massive debt burden at the Municipal level.  The way residents and business operators explain this undesired influence is in the following observations:

- Rent too high for business operators to earn a profit

- Diminished  number of various business modals to find work

- In-flexible policy that convolutes Municipal service provision

- More visiting families driving through rather than stopping

We need to become better stewards of our publicly collected money.  Our community is too small and lacks the resources to benefit long term from the practices described as Municipal over reach.  This involves excessive enforcement of unsound ordinances to drive local earned dollars in to a fee based committee hosted grievance loop.

Please vote Louis Kutzke for Mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.

Wisconsin Dells Efforts 2 Increase Business Operators Could Use Help

Some how as a community it needs to become ok to say that despite a huge investment of Municipal resources to reconfigure the roadway in the block along the Police and Fire Departments in the City of Wisconsin Dells- and the implementation of layers of policy that move operators and land lords in to a lengthy committee staffed grievance loop-

Well we just have not added the Business operators so desperately needed to serve the growing population of tourist visitors- more operators capture a larger percentage of the visitor dollars which increases the calculation of the resort tax fund

Recall CDA - Community Development Authority funds can be used to support municipal efforts with start ups.  It may now seem ok to try a different approach to increasing the number of operating Business modals across the City of Wisconsin Dells commercial district.

Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.
