Kewaunee District 4 seat remains vacant

Posted

KEWAUNEE – The District 4 aldermanic seat on the Kewaunee City Council remains vacant.

The seat has been vacant since Eric Wisnicky left in April 2024.

While the council feels the seat should be filled, staff said that there has been little interest since the vacancy posting.

“Some possible interested parties were unable to attend council meetings regularly, which is something of a must, due to quorum requirements. Should the council consider authorizing regular remote attendance that could change the dynamic. At the present time, however, in-person attendance is generally a requirement,” staff said in a memo to the board.

With no interest, the matter was bypassed during the council’s January meeting.

Creation of Maurina Committee

During the January meeting, the council also unanimously approved the creation of a seven member Maurina Committee.

“The ordinance structurally replaces a ‘public safety committee’ which hasn’t been active,” a staff memo said.

The committee will be appointed by the mayor and subject to council confirmation, with at least three members who are city residents and one council member.

Duties of the committee will consist of “providing operational guidance to marina staff; coordinating capital improvements and asset rehabilitation guidance to staff; providing fundraising coordination and revenue generation for the benefit of operations; making recommendations to council concerning any operational changes, fees, revenue and capital spending.”
