Welcome

neenahfirst.com is a web site intended to notify folks who reside in the first district about recent developments or other events for which they may have an interest. Although the information will be geared toward the first district, I am sure residents throughout the city will find the information both helpful and informative. Here you will also find meeting dates and times for different committees, contact information, and other valuable information.

Capital Improvements:

We are meeting this week to review the 5-year plan for the capital improvements budget. We will also be taking a harder look at this year's projects. We will also be taking a look at previously borrowed funds that were being carryforward. Use of these moneys could be used to offset present borrowing.

Police Chief:

I have been receiving calls pertaining to the chief's position. One thing needs to be made clear - The City Council does NOT have a role in hiring the new chief. That responsibility falls on the Police Commission. Where the Common Council enters into this equation is that we confirm the Mayor's appointment. I will reserve judgement until I know who, and for what reasons the selection was made. Please remember the quote from Benjamin Franklin, "Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen."

Historic Clock Tower:

The clock tower renovation has been completed for this year. Since I am able to admire the clock tower from my backyard, I can say that it looks wonderful. It is particularly stunning at night with the clock faces and the bell tower illuminated. Thanks to all who were able to step up and contribute to this project.
