Joe Moore, FdL City Manager

Joe Moore updated us on the City of Fond du Lac. He first thanked us for the scholarship that we awarded his daughter Annie last year. Some of his highlights are: the room tax has double in the last few years. He feels that shows the need for the new Hampton Inn and the new Retlaw. With the help of the Convention Bureau and Blue Line, we have a second ice rink at Lakeside Park. Because the Fond du Lac’s unemployment is down, property crime is also down. Suspected overdoses death are level from last year but the use of Narcan is up to save overdosed individuals.  The Lakeside Pavilion will be rebuilt. Items on the to do list are: Forest Mall, lead water pipes, Highway 23 East, Retlaw and additional downtown residential properties. Thanks to Joe for the update on the City of Fond du Lac.
