What professional and community related experience do you have that will make you an asset on the Winnebago County Board?
How can county government improve the energy and efficiency of its properties and operations? Should renewable energy be considered? What are the funding possibilities for plans such as these?
What are the two most important issues facing Winnebago County? How do you propose these issues be addressed?
The Spirit Fund currently has more than $9 million dollars in it. What is the best use for this money, and how should decisions be made about allocating this money?
What is the County's role in addressing the need for affordable housing in Winnebago County? What specific programs could be implemented to meet this need throughout the county?
My work background as a research scientist helps me to be analytical in my approach to resolutions that come before the board. My experience as a commission member in the City of Neenah give me insight into the needs of local government and the scope of the work they can accomplish, and where the county's larger structure can lend support.
great question and Yes Renewable Energy should be considered. We have a big issue in the county, with a large backlog of building maintenance and inefficient office/ work set up. in the next years we need to create a plan to update / obsolete facilities. I know many of our department leaders have renewable energy on their list of options. we shall have to see what $ are left for county use, with the recent changes to the IRA funding.
low income housing stock ( lack of it)
Planning for the future of public transportation
decisions have already been made on this topic. 3.5 million of that money has been allocated to a revolving load fund to incent smaller builders to create housing stock. The remainder of the fund is for county wide public projects, still TBD. Perhaps building energy updates to save costs ?
The rotating loan fund is one.
SUpporting the work of the Winnebagoland Housing
Authority is another. I am supportive of this work, but not familiar with all the options.
