As I visit with residents and businesses around the 3rd district, I will post topics that are brought to my attention. If you have a question, please get in touch with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A new Hillmoor Commission will begin work in early 2025. Similar to all other committees, this is a recommending body. Final decisions will be made by the City Council. Opening Day for Hillmoor was May 18, 2024. Everyone is welcome to visit Hillmoor and explore the beautiful setting.

  • Yes, we did. On November 25, 2024, the City Council enacted a new STR ordinance, Sec. 98-206(8)(y) of the Municipal Code. The new STR ordinance will soon be available on the Building & Zoning page of the City website.

  • Convenient, safe parking near the lake and central business district ensures that residents and visitors have equal access at times of high demand. This deters long-term parking in these areas. All funds collected remain in the downtown area and to the residents of the City of Lake Geneva. Remember, residents can get parking passes at City Hall for free parking up to three hours.

  • The major issues currently impacting our City are Hillmoor, short-term rentals, parking, Main Street construction in 2027 & 2028, City finances, public works and infrastructure projects, housing and land use, and public safety.

  • The City Council and staff, in collaboration with the WI Department of Transportation, Main Street businesses, and residents, need to develop ideas and tactics that can ease the short-term disruption this project will incur. A project team with representatives from all affected parties, should be implemented this year. We need well-thought-out plans to reroute traffic, abundant signage, timely communication for residents and visitors, and frequent updates at all stages of the project. Just imagine, if we all work together and approach the disruption with understanding and patience, we can make the best of a tough situation that for decades will significantly improve Main Street and the underlying infrastructure. I believe we can successfully overcome this necessary disruption if we all work together.

  • Throughout my 30-year business career, and as a high school teacher and coach, I greatly valued developing my communication, collaboration, and leadership skills. As a business executive, I excelled at leading strategy, governance, planning, financial management, government affairs, marketing, operations, and business development. I led governmental advocacy programs at the state and federal levels, turned around underperforming organizations, and identified and built new revenue streams. I also managed budgets up to $27 million. My track record and real-world experiences enable me to bring unique skill sets to the Lake Geneva City Council. Some people learn on the job. I am ready to hit the road running on day one.

  • There are many issues facing this great city and they need people who are capable, experienced, collaborative, and intuitive. Given my background, experience, and track record I can deliver results promptly and effectively.

  • The City Council needs people who will build relationships, resolve conflicts, and produce solutions promptly. Local governments work best when members keep the interests of residents, businesses, and visitors as the priority. Personal agendas should be set aside. Collaborating to deliver the best solutions and communicating with the community are top priorities during my service on the City Council.

  • At the local level, public safety in the form of law enforcement, fire, and emergency services are paramount. Our community must properly fund and support our police, fire, and emergency service departments. Most other social services are provided by county, state, and federal agencies as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
