TIF plan, maps move forward

Wal-Mart details up for review Monday
MARK IGNATOWSKI

The Common Council will have

its turn to debate the merits of using
tax-increment financing (TIF) to
pay for public improvements near
Kettle Park West after a vote by
the citys Planning Commission on
Monday.
The Common Council will take
up the issue of creating a TIF district for the Kettle Park West retail
development along U.S. Hwys. 51
and 138 at its Nov. 11 meeting. The
council will also have a look at an
updated general development plan
that increases the size of the WalMart in order to meet green space
requirements. Also up for review
are certified survey maps showing
the updated lot plans.
A detailed look at the Wal-Mart

site plans, which the commission
did not yet forward, will take place
Monday, Nov. 10, for possible consideration by the council the next
day.
The citys Planning Commission
spent nearly three hours debating the plans, but ultimately recommended approval of most of
the items by unanimous vote and
gave its support to the specific

Stoughton hosts Norwegian

guests for Destination Weekend
Several Norwegians
recently participated in
festivities over Destination
Weekend through the Destination Stoughton-Norwegian guest project. Among
the eight guests were a deputy mayor, representatives
from a cultural school and
dance instructors.
The project was funded
by the Friends of the Scandinavian Culture. Its purpose is to help further the
relationship between the
greater Stoughton area
and Norway, especially
since there were an estimated 8,000 people who
emigrated from the Gjovik
area to Stoughton in the
mid-1800s. The idea is that
helping Norwegian guests
better understand Stoughtons interest in Norwegian
heritage and culture will
enable them to share this
information with other Norwegians.
The week was full of
visits to city officials,

businesses, schools, farms

and stores, sightseeing,
participating in events
and meeting with various
Norwegian groups in the
greater Stoughton area. The
guests also toured the Norwegian American Genealogical Center and Naeseth
Library, the state Capitol
and Overture Center.
The Norwegians also
worked closely with the
Stoughton High School
Norwegian Dancers, attended practices and performances, gave workshops,
met with those planning
the 2015 tour to Norway
and other networking. As
the Norwegians return to
Norway, they will assist in
identifying performance
venues, help publicize the
dance tour and be contacts
as future tours are planned.
The guests will also be
able to share with other
Norwegians involved with

The Stoughton Area

School District Board of
Education is down one
member after Pat Volk
recently resigned due to
increasing schedule conflicts with board and committee meetings.
Volk was first elected to
the board in 2009 and was
re-elected in 2012.
Board members discussed possible questions
for candidates at their Monday night meeting, with a
plan to interview applicants
prior to the next meeting, Monday, Nov. 17. An

appointment vote will take
place following the interviews, with a new board
member to be seated for the
regular meeting that starts
at 7 p.m. The new members term will expire next
April.
The Board of Education consists of nine members elected at large. Three
members are elected each
year to a three-year term.
The Stoughton Area School
District serves the City
of Stoughton and parts of
towns of Albion, Christiana, Cottage Grove,
Deerfield, Dunkirk, Dunn,
Pleasant Springs and Rutland in Dane County, and
parts of the Towns of Porter

and Union in Rock County.
Anyone interested in the
position can call the district
at 877-5002.
New treasurer
Brett Schumacher was
unanimously elected as
school board treasurer
Monday night, succeeding Volk. He will also be
the new chairman of the
finance committee, taking
over for Volk.
Schumacher, a molecular biologist who works at
Promega Corporation, was
appointed to the board in
2010 to fill a vacancy left
by Fred Hundt, and was reelected to a three-year term
this spring.

Kathryn S. Dustin, 35,
of Madison, and Angel
R. Hendrickson, 28, of
Stoughton, appeared in
court last week on charges related to the death of
Joshua J. Hendrickson of
Edgerton. Joshua Hendrickson was found dead
in the Culvers parking lot
in June, but details of the
case had not been released
until a criminal complaint
was filed in late October.
According to the complaint, Joshua had died of
a heroin and lorazepam
overdose. He had allegedly used the drugs in Madison and was driven back
to Stoughton by Dustin
and Angel Hendrickson,
Joshuas cousin.
Angel and her 3-yearold son had ridden with
Joshua to the Dutch Mill
park and ride lot in Madison so Joshua could sell
Angels lorazepam, Angel
told police. They met
Dustin there and Joshua
and Dustin left, during
which the two allegedly
used heroin. When they
returned to the park and
ride about 30 minutes later, Angel told police that
Joshua was completely
out of it.

Community does not support Supercenter

Does Stoughton have a noisy
vocal minority against the proposed
Wal-Mart Supercenter. The mayor
and some alders argue that the silent
majority is solidly behind their
effort to build a Downtown killing
Supercenter in a cornfield.
I think the city staff, planning
commission and council havent
done their homework. Their attitude seems to be I have made up
my mind, dont confuse me with the
facts.
The Stoughton Forward group
mailed a community growth and
development survey to over 8,000
homes in the city and surrounding
townships. Preliminary hand tally
of 361 responses returned thus far
reveals this:
26 percent of all respondents
want the proposed 153,000 sq. ft.
Supercenter.
40 percent say they do not want
a Supercenter at all.
Of all 361 respondents, approximately 69 percent, are not in favor
of the Supercenter as proposed.
Four out of five citizens (81 percent) are against the citys proposed
$7.4 million corporate subsidy to
the developer and Wal-Mart.
The majority of Stoughton area
citizens (60 percent) favor downtown development with a majority
(50 percent) also favoring the use of
tax dollars to encourage downtown
development.
Only 18 percent favor the Kettle
Park West retail project and corporate subsidy.
We challenge the Stoughton

Chamber of Commerce, city hall
and alders to prove their statements that community and business
persons support the Supercenter
and $7.4 corporate welfare subsidy. When the first Supercenter
was propose over 65 business persons from McFarland, Oregon and
Stoughton signed a petition asking
the city to discuss the proposal with
them before approval. Mayor Helen
Johnson and the council refused.
Current Mayor Donna Olson and
the council have been given the
petition and asked to talk to business owners. They refuse also.
Our guess is they are afraid of
what they will find out.
Our council and planning commissioners need to step back and
take a break. They need to bring our
community together not divide us
further. They should work with citizens and businesspersons to help us
decide how we wish to develop and
grow as a community.
The Economic Impact Study
(EIS) required in our Big Box ordinance needs much more work as
half the alders say. We need town
hall meetings on the EIS findings
and conclusions.
We should conduct public hearings on the EIS followed by a referendum how Stoughton should
develop and yes or no on corporate
subsidies.

Partnerships and resources

focus on cleaning our lakes
ong summer days spent

enjoying Dane Countys
lakes may feel like a distant memory, but fall is budget
season for the county and our
lakes are front and center in my
2015 budget.
My 2015 budget puts more
than $10 million into targeted
measures and collaborations in
the fight against lake-polluting
phosphorus so we can take the
next steps in the countys leading role to clean up the Yahara
chain of lakes. From addressing
agricultural runoff to stemming
pollution from urban streets and
lawns, our plan is based on working together toward a common
goal.
Dane Countys innovation
and partnerships continue to
develop solutions that can serve
as a national example. To protect
our waters,
Dane County
will continue
and enhance
key strategies
that have been
shown to have
maximum
impact.
For example,
Parisi
my 2015 budget includes:
community manure storage
grants, testing new technology
to eliminate 100 percent of phosphorus from manure at an area
digester, new soil conservationists funded through a partnership with Madison Metropolitan
Sewerage District and $1 million
for urban water quality grants to
address pollutions from stormwater outflows that discharge
directly into our lakes.
Across this community, the list

is growing of the partners stepping up to work with the county
to clean up our lakes. Whether its
agricultural, business, environmental or public sector interests,
we have a can do coalition
committed to reducing phosphorus and protecting and restoring
our lakes.
Theres no single fix to remedying our waters, but as I have
done in each one of my budgets as county executive, I am
increasing county governments
commitment to confronting this
challenge. Together, with our
partners, we are turning the tide
and taking continuous action to
clean up our spectacular lakes.
Joe Parisi is the Dane County
executive.
SASD in brief
State aid to district drops
slightly
Slightly more than half of the
public school districts in the state
received more financial aid from
the state than last year, but the
Stoughton Area School District
(SASD) was not among them.
According to the Wisconsin
Department of Public Instruction, state aid for public school
districts increased by $85.5 million from last year, but SASD
received about $9,879 (0.7 percent) less than last year. The
district will receive $15,104,988
from the state for the 2014-15
school year.

Fox Prairie Elementary School
had the highest percentage of students who completed the summer

(42.5 percent completion rate).
The students received recognition certificates for their work,

Daos students had recently

her twin brother died from the
affliction two years ago. Green
Bay Packers quarterback Aaron
Rodgers has helped Bartosz in

After watching the video, the

We promote the summer
reading program at the Stoughton Public Library for children to
have the opportunity to continue
their growth in reading during
the summer when some children
decrease in their reading abilities, said Fox Prairie library and
media specialist Chris Steinke.
We find that they are the link in
the community to keep children
reading over the summer.
All three elementary schools
have implemented programs to
combat what is called the summer slide when students reading skills can wane when they
no longer read as much as when
they are in school. Fox Prairie
and Sandhill both conducted
book swaps during the summer where students could bring
back old books and pick up new
ones, while Kegonsa piloted a
R.E.A.D.S program.
We want the children to have
a lifelong love of reading, said

A tragic accident is
causing the Stoughton community to come
together for former resident and Stoughton High
School state wrestling
champion Brandon Meek.
At 5 p.m. on Nov. 15
at the Stoughton VFW
Post 328 (200 Veterans
Road), family and friends
will hold a pig roast and
benefit dinner for Meek,
his wife Donielle and
their two children to help
assist them with medical
expenses.
Meek fell three stories
on Aug. 22 during work
on a construction job, and
the injuries he sustained
have left him and his family in a bind. Meek will
need multiple surgeries
and procedures to recover.
The accident caused
thousands of dollars in
medical debt, as insurance
cannot cover most of the
expenses, and that is what
led to the benefit.
The accident has him
and his family uncertain
for their future stability both emotionally and
financially, Jeff Doyle
wrote in an email.
Meek was a state champion wrestler for Stoughton High School in 1986,
and he finished with a
117-15-1 record. Meek,
who now resides in Lodi
with his family, recently
made news for wrestling
at the Olympic Trials after
the age of 40 in 2011.
The support that my
family and myself has
gotten from the Stoughton community and the
wrestling community is

Dating back nearly 100

years to Nov. 11, 1918,
when an armistice signed
between the Allied nations
and Germany effectively
ended World War I, the
United States has celebrated its veterans on Nov. 11.
According to the U.S.
Department of Veterans
Affairs, in November 1919,
President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as
the first commemoration
of Armistice Day with the
following words: "To us
in America, the reflections
of Armistice Day will be
filled with solemn pride in
the heroism of those who
died in the countrys service and with gratitude for
the victory, both because
of the thing from which it
has freed us and because of
the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the
nations"
Around Stoughton, there
are several events commemorating Veterans Day.
Tom Hay from the Dane
County Veterans Service
Office will give a Veterans
Service Presentation at the
senior center at 10 a.m. on
Friday, Nov. 7.
He will discuss the different pensions, programs and
health care options for area
veterans and their families.

Heroin town hall meeting
Human beings have one foot in heaven

and one planted firmly on earth. Our daily
need for food and water along with our
bodily functions keep us firmly embedded
in the earthly realm. But, the awareness of
eternity transports our minds and spirits
beyond the earthly realm. We see that our
bodies are finite, but we can easily imagine
the infinite in both space and time. We are
also divided morally. Our human or animal
selves naturally return evil for evil, seeking revenge when someone has harmed
us and feeling satisfied when wrongdoers suffer, but we all know that there is a
higher realm of justice where mercy and
compassion override our natural tendency
for revenge, and where even wrongdoers
might be reconciled to God. There is no
way to escape either aspect of our divided
self. So long as we have bodies we are
chained to their animal functions, but so
long as we have a soul we are cognizant of
the voice of God, continually reminding us
that there is another realm, a higher realm
and our true cosmic home. We should
take care of the body, it is a gift from God,
and we should listen to our conscience, it
is the voice of God within us.

The group donated 80 quilts to veterans for last years Veterans Day.
Quilts for veterans on display Saturday

SCOTT GIRARD
In 2004, a group of women got together to do something nice for Veterans

Day.
A decade later, the group
has grown and will once
again bring dozens of quilts
to veterans at the VA Hospital in Madison Nov. 11.
Its very hard to walk
into the hospital, said
Alice Asleson, who created the group 10 years
ago. But walking out its
so gratifying because those
men and women they
are just so appreciative.

That day is especially lonely there.
Last year, the Stoughtonbased group, which numbers around 30, made 80
quilts to bring to veterans.
While the exact number for
this year isnt yet known,
anyone interested in seeing

In some ways, the story

of the citys preliminary
2015 budget is more about
what could not be funded
than whats planned to be
added.
For example, the proposed budget does not fund
a requested part-time clerical position at the police
department or information
technology support at the
department. It also does
not provide 10 additional
hours requested at the Fire
Department. Officials also
turned down requests for
Sunday afternoon hours at
the library.
Spending reductions
were also made for police
overtime, part-time police
hours, police vehicle
expenses, funding for the
K9 program, parks operations and city and labor
attorneys fees.
Olson said establishing a
human resources/risk management department a key
initiative in last years budget that factored into a reorganization of the clerks
duties eliminated the need
for some attorney services.
The city will increase
its share of the Stoughton
Area EMS budget with
a payment of $87,880 in
2015. That budget is shared
among several municipalities.
Mill rates
2010: 7.28
2011: 7.49
2012: 7.87
2013: 8.08
2014: 8.33
2015: 8.56*
* proposed
construction for 2014 is

projected to be .82 percent,
which, per state statute,
means the city can raise
an additional $55,658 this
year through property taxes. City budgets are tied by
state statute to growth.
Under the proposal,
Stoughtons total levy for
2014 would increase 3.47
percent to $7.5 million, a
jump of $254,000 from the
year before.
The preliminary city tax
rate for 2014 is estimated at $8.56 per $1,000 of
assessed value, up 2.79 percent from 2013, or 22 cents
per $1,000 of assessed value. That means the owner
of a $200,000 property
would pay $1,712.44 in city
taxes.
Finance director Laurie
Sullivan said she hasnt
received property value
assessments yet from the
state but would bring final
numbers and the projected
mill rate to the public hearing on the budget Tuesday.

Knowing it would be her final prep

really have any high expectations.

Vikings head coach Susan Zaemisch
was very impressed with the way sophomore Clea Roe brought it Saturday,
finishing 101st overall in 20:14 as the
Vikings second runner.
Fellow sophomore Aly Weum also
had a very strong race, moving up 20
spots from last season to placed 109th in
20:36.
I think Alys finish today will propel
her to where she needs to be next year,
Zaemisch said.
Senior Megan Reese moved up 15
spots from 2013 to take 135th place
(20:39) in her final race.
Freshman Paige Halverson (21:08)
also impressed Zaemisch, crossing the

finish line in 158th as the teams final
varsity scorer.
Sophomore Augustyan Brestar and
senior Katie Roe also competed, but did
not score for Stoughton.
It was the final race for seniors
Staffen, Reese, Roe and Kelsey Jenny,
who didnt run following conference.
Those girls will leave some extremely big shoes to fill, Zaemisch said.
Megan, Nikki and Kelsey have given
four years to this program and its as a
result the program is where it is because
of them.
Zaemisch continued by saying the
program has a lot of underclassmen who
want to step up to fill those voids in the
future.

match last years 15th-place finish with
368 points.

Senior Devin Wermuth was named to the

first-team All-Badger South Conference this
season for the Stoughton High School boys
soccer team.
Devin Wermuth scored 15 goals and collected 14 assists for the Vikings in 24 games.
He was a unanimous selection.
Head coach Dave Wermuth said that Devin
Wermuth was also recommended for the AllState soccer team, which was not announced by
the Courier Hubs Tuesday deadline.
Joining Devin Wermuth on the all-conference team were second teamers Noah Doll and
Dylan Wenker.
Doll did not score as a defender, but Wenker
finished with two goals.
The Vikings finished 12-8-4 overall (2-2-2 in
the Badger South).
Stoughton won its regional opener against
Westosha Central, its first regional win since
2009, but the Vikings lost in the regional final
to Elkhorn.
Doll returns next season, but Devin Wermuth
and Wenker will graduate.

Madison Capitols 3-6-2 on season
Despite Will Johnsons third goal of the weekend, the

Madison Capitols could not solve the Chicago Steel, falling
2-1 on Sunday at the Alliant Energy Center.
The Capitols (3-6-2) were unable to duplicate their quick
starts of each of the past two nights, but they did keep Chicago off the board through the games opening 20 minutes,
as Garrett Metcalf continued to be solid in the net for Madison in his second straight start, stopping all seven shots fired
his way.
Madison also fell victim to the crossbar on two occasions,
as both Ryan Lohin and former Oregon High School standout Alec Vanko saw wrist shot attempts ping off the iron
behind Chicago goaltender Cale Morris.
During a 4-on-4 hockey late in the period, Chicago finally
broke the deadlock. Zach Osburn picked up a Madison turnover in the high slot, flung it at the goal, and Tanner Laczynski chopped the rebound past Metcalf to put the Steel up, 1-0,
at 18:21.
The Capitols take to the road once again on Friday and
Saturday, Nov. 7-8 to face the Waterloo Black Hawks and
Sioux City Musketeers, respectively.
The Capitols next take to home ice on Friday, Nov. 14, for

A ribbon cutting ceremony for Dane Countys first allterrain wheelchair is set for Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Oregon
Sportsmans Club located at 726 Sand Hill Road.
The Dane County Pheasants Forever Chapters Access
Ability Wisconsin Team has purchased the first All-Terrain
Wheelchair to be located in Dane County.
Based on the successful fund raising efforts coupled with a
receipt of a $10,000 grant from the Wisconsin-DNR the chair
is now a reality. It will be housed at the Oregon Sportsmans
Club.
This enhanced wheelchair for use by individuals with
physical mobility challenges will provide independent access
to Wisconsins outdoor public and private hunting and trail
resources to hunt, mentor future hunters, help with conservation, habitat restoration or to simply just to get out and enjoy
being outdoors.
The All-Terrain Wheelchair is basically a wheelchair on
tracks, which enables it go where a traditional wheelchair
or scooter cant go. At a top speed of 4 miles per hour, it is
not an ATV but rather a device which really makes it ideal
for someone that uses a wheelchair, crutches, etc. They can
quietly and safely maneuver in the woods or fields leaving
a minimal footprint without causing damage to the environment.

TIF: Council will see KPW items Nov. 11

implementation plan (SIP)
for Wal-Mart that will be
reviewed next week.
Commission members
and city staff were able to get
developers to agree to some
changes despite a few public
comments that the city was
still moving too quickly on the
proposed development.
The commission had tabled
most of the items at a fivehour meeting last week in
order to allow the Common
Council to look at an economic impact study. That study
was approved on a 6-6 vote
with the mayor breaking the
tie in favor of approving the
study last week.
TIF
Mondays discussion
included another presentation
by Michaela Huot of financial
advising company Springsted
Inc., explaining the uses and
risks associated with TIF projects.
The city plans to use TIF to
facilitate roughly $5.3 million
worth of public improvements
plus interest to the intersection of Hwys. 51 and 138, as
well as improvements to Jackson Street and for stormwater
management in the proposed
area.
Commission members had
questions about what level of
risk the city would have in the
project.
City attorney Matt Dregne
said the developers agreement spells out how the city
will participate in the funding.
The project plan does not
specify what type of financing
would be used, Dregne said.
Thats something that the city
addresses through a development agreement.
As it currently stands, the
city will act as the lender for
the developer. Dregne said the
developer has to provide letters of credit that will cover 70
percent of the estimated increment. However, Dregne said
proposed amendments to the
developers agreement would
include a 100 percent guarantee of increment needed to pay
for the debt taken by the city.
Dregne said the project plan
doesnt determine what type
of debt or lending the city will
take on.
Creating the TIF district
creates the opportunity to use
TIF financing, but the city
needs to then, independently
of that, decide exactly how to
structure that, Dregne said.
The TIF project plan will
go to the Common Council
for review Nov. 11. The joint
review board made up of
representatives from other
taxing entities in the area,

including the school board,

county and technical college
is expected to vote on the plan
Nov. 26. The plan would then
be reviewed by the city attorney and sent to the Wisconsin
Department of Revenue for
review and certification.
General development
changes
Commissioners dug in their
heels Monday on a request
to include an outlot as part of
the green space requirement
for development. Developers wanted to see the outlot
included as part of the WalMart lots requirement, but
also planned to use that area
as part of a larger green space
project in the future.
Forward Development Group attorney Dan
OCallaghan asked to include
a 1.8-acre parcel west of the
Wal-Mart as part of the green
space requirement; however,
the parcel would have been
owned by the developer and
not tied to the large retail lot.
We have the ability to master plan it, we have the ability
to have a large, central open
space, OCallaghan said.
Commissioner Scott Truehl
and Ald. Eric Hohol argued
that the purpose of the requirement is to make sure each parcel has enough green space
and that they would not support the proposal as presented
by developers. Hohol said
that the company could not
double dip and use the outlot as part of a future parkland
dedication. Truehl said that
because the outlot was being
used to meet green space
requirements for the Wal-Mart
lot, it needed to be included as
part of that lot.
I need to see lot 2 and
3 connected in some way,
Truehl said. I dont see anything that I could ever support ... that didnt tie those two
things together.
The development team
eventually agreed to include
the lot as part of the Wal-Mart
parcel.
If thats the desire of the

commission, thats a condition
well accept, OCallaghan
said.
With the change Monday
night, city documents including the general development
plan and certified survey maps
will have to be updated before
the council takes action next
week.
Wal-Mart review
After agreeing to approve
the general development
changes, commission members decided to hold off on
approving specific site plans
for Wal-Mart.
They asked for a detailed
landscaping plan to be included for the newly-added 1.8acre piece of the parcel and for
other landscaping considerations to be made, as well.
The company had prepared an updated site plan
that included some changes
to landscaping plans, such as
altering the types of species
used and adding irrigation
system to plants that might be
susceptible to drought or other
harsh conditions.
The company also added
another pedestrian walkway
through the parking lot that
would provide access to the
general merchandise entrance.
They also changed a chainlink fence surrounding the
garden center to an ornamental
aluminum fence.
Commission members
asked the company to have
updated documents ready for
posting to the citys website
by Thursday in order to allow
time for public review.
The plans will be reviewed
by the planning commission
Nov. 10. Most members of
the commission indicated they
would likely support the project if the company made the
requested changes. If recommended for approval by the
commission, the Common
Council could give a first reading to the materials the following day with a vote possible
later this month.
The Common Council

deadlocked over whether to
accept an economic impact
analysis of a proposed WalMart Supercenter at its meeting last week, so Mayor
Donna Olson voted four
times to break the ties.
At the councils Oct. 28
meeting, opponents of the
proposed Kettle Park West
(KPW) commercial development repeatedly raised objections to the impact analysis
and attempted to send it back
to Maxfield Research Inc. for
more work.
But with each proposed
amendment to a resolution to
accept the analysis, council
members in favor of KPW
voted against the amendments, resulting in 6-6 ties.
And each time, Olson exercised her option to break the
tie.
That cleared the way for
the Planning Commission
on Monday to consider the
KPW tax-increment financing project plan, which the
council approved Sept. 22.
In March, the council had
asked the commission not to
act on KPW and its anchor
tenant, a Wal-Mart Supercenter, until the economic
impact analysis was accepted.
Alds. Eric Hohol, Paul
Lawrence, Sonny Swangstu,
Pat OConnor, Ron Christianson and Greg Jenson voted to accept the analysis and
move KPW one-step further
toward final approval. Voting against were Alds. Tom
Selsor, Michael Engelberger, Tricia Suess, Tom
Majewski, Tim Swadley
and Sid Boersma. Until a
couple of weeks ago, Suess
had been voting in favor of
KPW.
She reversed her position
in mid-October, telling the
Courier Hub: I cant support it anymore. Its not
right for us.
On Oct. 14, the council
tabled a resolution to accept
the analysis as appropriate
and referred the question to
a Committee of the Whole
meeting. But at two such
meetings, the committee
failed to come up with a list
of things needed to make
the study acceptable.
Last Tuesday, Ald. Pat
OConnor (D-1) who had

voted to table a decision on
the analysis changed his
position and voted to accept
the study.
Opponents argued the
study a requirement of
the citys so-called Big Box
ordinance is incomplete
and did not meet the criteria the ordinance requires of
the analysis to be deemed
appropriate.
Proponents countered that
revising the study would
not substantially change its
conclusions and would be a
waste of time. Alds. Hohol
(D-4), Lawrence (D-2) and
Christianson (D-2) led the
side in favor of accepting
the study, each attempting to
refute opponents arguments.
Swadley (D-1), Selsor
(D-4), Engelberger (D-2)
and Boersma were the most
vocal critics of the analysis. Boersma and Swadley
both offered amendments
to the resolution to accept
the study, each suggesting a list of things missing
from that analysis they said
were required for the study
to comply with the Big Box
ordinance.
Among the missing data,
they charged, were the costs
of additional EMS, police
and fire services for the
development, the names of
all tenants in the developments first phase, the financial harm existing businesses
might incur and ways to
mitigate the damage, as well
as a risk analysis of providing $5.1 million in TIF to the
developer.
Engelberger noted that
the studys author, Maxfield president Mary Bujold,
admitted that she had not
interviewed a single local
business owner in preparing

her analysis. He described
it as full of holes, and
warned the council, This
vote right here is the vote
that will determine whether
this city government has
credibility or not.
Swadley asserted that
KPW businesses would have
an unfair advantage if the
city were to subsidize the
development through TIF.
There would be an additional cost for this property
to be developed, and that
cost would be passed on to
the landowners, business
owners and future tenants,
he said.
But KPW backers were
not deterred.
Hohol said the analysis,
like the council, should focus
on the overall impact on
the community positive or
negative of a new Supercenter and the larger development.
He repeatedly said that the
city cant legislate competition in a free market and in
the city.
After the council with
the mayors votes defeated
efforts to amend or table a
final decision on the economic impact analysis, Selsor asked Olson not to interject her opinion and change
the outcome or a fair and
honest tie between two parties that is the result of a lot
of hard work.
Olson rejected the request.
I have heard the community, and theyve said
they want growth, they want
development and they want
Kettle Park West, she said.
So I will vote that this is an
appropriate economic impact
analysis.

Electors say no to new town hall

Borrowing OKd but
3 building plans fail
SCOTT DE LARUELLE
It might be back to the

drawing board for the continuing attempt to build a
new town hall for the town
of Rutland.
During the towns reconvened annual meeting Sept.
9, three building resolutions
were defeated, though a
resolution for borrowing for
any buildings approved was
passed by voters.
Town residents had previously rejected borrowing up
to $1 million for a new town
hall at the April meeting.
The first resolution last
month, which would have
called for authorization of
$982,605 for a new building, was defeated 101-90.
The second, for an $856,340
building, was defeated 10780, and a third, asking for
$786,981 for a new building, was defeated 113-75.
A final resolution asking
for authorization to borrow
money for any approved
project was passed 109-80.
Growing issue
For the past several
decades, town government
has operated out of essentially a metal garage building, and in the past months,
board members have sought
to replace the office and
records storage portion with

a more modern facility,

leaving the current building
as a garage. After the borrowing plan was rejected in
April, town officials went
back to residents for more
info, coming up with the
three plans.
According to a letter sent
to residents earlier this year
by town chairman Dale
Beske, Rutlands population has nearly tripled since
the current hall was built in
the mid-1960s, and with it,
the town has added services
such as EMS, senior center
and recycling.
Beskes letter said the
current building has inadequate space for meetings,
tax collection, elections
and records storage, causing officers to operate out of
their homes. Also, there are
no audio-visual facilities for
presentations during meetings and inadequate security
of records and employees,
Beske wrote.
Around three years ago,
the board purchased three
acres north of the existing
town hall to build a new one.
A space needs study was
completed last spring, proposing a building of around

wi.us.
5,200 square feet, at a cost
of around $1.08 million.
Late last year, the town
hired an architectural firm
to develop the new building,
and by April, it had trimmed
the size of the building to
4,800 square feet and presented the plan at the meeting, attended by around
150 people. About 110 of
those present voted against
the building and financing
plans.
Voters then instructed the
building committee to revise
the scope of the project and
come up with a proposal that
would be less expensive.
Arts: Donations needed for growth

promote the city as a destination for visitors seeking arts and entertainment.
We need donations
for the Arts Council, she
said. Were not marketing just for new families
coming in and not just
people who live here to
come downtown and take
a second look, but for
developers and new businesses.
The district includes
the downtown but encompasses a larger area
everything between River
Bluff Middle School to
the north, Page Street to
the west, east to Lynn
Street and south past
Mandt Park.
Establishing the district
makes the Arts Council
eligible for grant funding
to further its efforts, noted Mayor Donna Olson.
Stoughton has a wonderful historic downtown
that has always been
steeped in arts and entertainment, dating all the
way back to the opening
of our Opera House in
1901, Olson wrote in an
email to the Hub.
City alder Tricia Suess
is fully on board with the
idea of the new district
so much so that she is the
latest person to join the
Arts Council. The Common Council confirmed
her appointment Oct. 28.
Art brings people to
a community and it also
enhances
our quality of life,
Suess told
the Hub.
Those are
the two
main reaWidra
sons that
Im interested in
being on the Arts Council
and promoting the A&E
district. Also, I want to
be involved because its
a way to bring people
together.
Together with city
parks and recreation
department head Tom
Lynch, Suess organized
the Gazebo Musikk series
last summer. She hopes
her appointment to the
Arts Council will generate support for expanding that series and similar
events.
It would be great to
have the support of the
Arts Council for the
Gazebo Musikk series,
and also, I talked with
them about putting
together a one-day, citywide rock music festival, she said. Its been
a dream of mine for quite
a few years now. Im
aiming for August 2016.
She also plans to double the size of the Gazebo
series next year.
For now, the district
exists mostly in name.
But it has a purpose, and
its meaning will become
apparent with time and
effort. Thats where the
Arts Council comes in.
How to help
To donate to
the Arts and
Entertainment
District, mail a check
to the Stoughton Arts
Council at City Hall,
381 E. Main St., or
drop off a check in
person between the
hours of 7:30 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m.
Its role will be to get
things going even more,
Widra said. I see so
many opportunities, and
we need to tell people to
come and take a look.
She said the Common
Councils decision to
endorse the creation of
the new district is a big
first step.
Its not something the
Arts Council could do on
its own, she said.
We wanted a commitment from the city,
and hopefully theyre
thinking of it as a commitment and not just a
name. Hopefully theyll
say, OK, this is where we
need to development and
focus our attention, and
hopefully maybe provide
some dollars, too.
Widra sees creating the
district as a good starting
point for smart growth.
It makes sense to
focus on the downtown
first, she said.
