<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><br><div>Due to an accounting glitch the approved funding for an approved and prioritized trail section (Rosenow Creek Trail) in Oconomowoc was cut in half. It was merely a mistake, a budget line item didn’t get moved into the new year budget. The council had to have a super majority vote to put the funds back where they should be because it was technically a budget amendment. It failed by one vote getting a vote of 5-3 instead of the required 6-2. It is going back to the council for a re-vote on Tuesday February 5. I am trying to mobilize people to contact the council members or show up at the meeting next week. I would imagine that they give more weight to Oconomowoc residents but trails serve everyone so if you feel so motivated please consider an email to the aldermen ( addresses below). One email to all of them is fine. Let them know that trails add value to our community and they should put the money back in the budget! We only have to sway one member!!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks everyone!</div><div>Gina Magnus <br><br>Sorry the info is repeated a bit below ....<br><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hello All,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Please see below for the contact information for the City Council members. If you want to contact them to voice your support of re-funding the Rosenow Creek Trail section in its entirety at the February 5 Council meeting, you may do so with one email directed to all of them. They need to hear that we value the trail system and this section of it and that the funding should be put back in the budget to build out the trail. Trails add so much to our community.......I know I am speaking to the choir here. Spread the word and let your opinion be known!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thanks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">gina<br></div><div style="font-size:small" class="gmail_default"></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>
