Letter from the Mayor
October 22, 2024
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.
