Winter Wonderland 2024
I want to thank Jeremy Wusterbarth for coming up with a route allowing Winter Wonderland to remain at Holtwood Park. We toured the route yesterday and I met with the Winter Wonderland group last night. We toured the route, and all agreed it is a great alternative. The route will run along the river starting at the entrance to the park. It will extend all the way down to the boat landing at the south end of the park.
The reason for the new route is the need for maintenance in the center portion of the park. There are many Ash trees that have been infected by the Emerald Ash Borer. The best time for this maintenance is the wintertime as there are no campers in the park. This is all about the safety of our campers and other people that use the park.
We have attached a map of the route and where businesses, families, and other groups can decorate their own trees and displays.
Regards,
Cliff Martin

There has been some recent citizen discussion on Facebook regarding the referendum on the November 5th ballot to add two additional Alderpersons to the City Council. This was voted on and added to the Fall ballot by our previous elected officials.
The team here at City Hall thought it would be good to let the citizens know the real cost for this addition. Below are the estimated costs:
$800 Est Increase for Annual Expense for Paper & Ink for Agenda Packets (Finance, W&P, COW, Council)/Budget Books/Minutes/etc.
$7,791 Increase for Annual Alderperson Salary
$80 Council Chamber Name Plates
$8,671 TOTAL Estimated Increase in Annual Expenses for 2 Additional Alderpersons
This information is to assist the voters of the City of Oconto to make an informed decision.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email or phone.
