Shorewood residents want a City Hall that embraces democracy, transparency, and resident engagement

We want a prodemocracy culture that is firmly grounded on service to citizens that bridges connections across the community. 


Our vision for Shorewood: Continue to build on our great neighborhoods for our families. Listed below are some illustrations of what this vision looks like:


1. Preserve our Natural Setting

  • Our City should work to preserve the beauty of our natural setting and the relaxed lifestyle Shorewood residents enjoy. 


2.  Improve Conflict Resolution

  • In resolving differences of opinion between neighbors, residents should look to government as a last resort only after they have engaged with one another in healthy discussion, debate and negotiation. Neighbors should solve problems themselves as much as possible. 
  • There are instances when government needs to step in to help resolve differences on difficult and important issues. For such cases, our City should design and implement a robust conflict resolution process that engages our residents in developing mutually acceptable solutions. If called upon to help resolve disputes, the City should engage in a process that begins with due diligence to thoroughly understand the facts and progresses creatively to develop alternatives with a goal to achieve a solution that is acceptable for all stakeholders.


3. Use City / Taxpayer Resources More Effectively and Efficiently

  • It is important to utilize data and surveys to understand what residents want City leadership to invest in.   
  • Our City should identify opportunities to save operating and program costs to redeploy financial resources in our ~$6 million annual operating budget in a way that adds what residents value in their city (for all age groups) now and in the future.



Where money is not spent in our community

I've spoken to many residents living along the border of Shorewood who say they do not feel heard or represented on government services. This picture is a visual representation of that reality.
