Petition seeks referendum on spending
Category: City Government · State: Wisconsin · Source: Fon du Lac Reporter
A petition with more than 400 signatures calls for the Village of North Fond du Lac to go to referendum for all future expenditures that exceed $1 million. The petition was filed in the village office on Thursday, just one day after a heated public hearing during which officials moved plans forward, despite some citizen opposition, for a $37 million lakeside hotel/convention center/marina. Copies of the petition were being circulated during the meeting Wednesday night that ended when members of the village’s Community Development Authority (CDA) approved a resolution that launches the process for formation of a tax incremental financing (TIF) district. The TIF district would help fund redevelopment of land, and the proposed Winnebago Project resort, to be located along Lake Winnebago on blighted property owned by developer Alex Zabel.
