Appleton District 6

Photo from Fox Valley Symphony - Symphony Under the Stars Greetings District 6 Neighbors, If any of you were at the neighborhood meeting in Erb Park last Thursday, I am sorry that I was not aware it was happening. Alder Croatt called me to let me know that several people from District 6 were in attendance, but I was at another event and did not get back in time to come down. I’m grateful to Alder Croatt for sharing information with me. I’ve asked him for contact information for the District 6 folks and will be reaching out. Alder Croatt did provide me with his follow up which I  am including here: As we talked about, if you see something deemed suspicious, whether it's in your neighborhood or at Erb Park, please call  APD  at their non-emergency number  920-832-5500 .  Let them check it out and determine if it's matter that they need to address.  Of course, if it's an emergency situation, call 911. If you have other concerns, please send them my way or you ...

Greetings District 6 Neighbors, Sadly, I am hearing about more of our neighbors who have been impacted by the flooding on July 5 and July 13. I’m posing a link to a video from Mayor Woodford where he updates us on the forecast for possibly more severe weather this afternoon and evening. https://fb.watch/tlfhqeS4Vz/ There is a new city page that contains information about the July 5 event – I expect it will be updated soon to add information about the Saturday flooding. https://www.appleton.org/government/mayor-s-office/flooding-statements-orders While city staff are still investigating what resources may be available for those impacted by the flooding as a result of Governor Evers’s emergency declaration, Mayor Woodford noted in this morning's update that it still appears that the flooding in Appleton might not meet the qualifications for state aid. The city is still working with other organizations to determine if other sources of aid are available. I am working with the Departmen...

  Viola St. - Photo From the Post-Crescent Greetings District 6 Neighbors, First, I hope everyone weathered the storm on Friday OK. I know that there was serious flooding in the area between Northland and Pershing around Meade St. and that Viola St. was hit particularly hard. Mayor Woodford declared a State of Emergency on Friday afternoon and many city workers, including a number who were on vacation for the holiday week, were deployed to help with the situation. It appears that the waters receded rapidly and, unlike some other communities in the state, Appleton’s water system didn’t suffer any breaks so there was no need to issue boil orders. I do know of a few homes in the district that had some water. I continue to watch the weather as much of my family lives near the Texas Gulf Coast and are anxiously monitoring the progress of Hurricane Beryl. We have a bit of an odd council week coming up as we voted to cancel the July 3 Common Council meeting. This is a fairly common practi...
