Community Update
Mayors Message:
Fall has brought us a sobering reminder of the importance of working together
to achieve shared goals. The Federal shutdown may have caught some un-
awares, but it serves to remind us that we need to first look to our families,
neighbors, and community to address and solve our problems. I am proud to
be in a community where this is the case. As a city, we have placed ourselves in
a very positive position thanks to you and your willingness to participate with
us in governing. Our budget review has just been released and we are happy to
say that we have figured out how to balance a budget.
I am excited to report that Envision Madison, which kicked off in June, is con-
tinuing to make progress. Your input in the forms of maps, emails, surveys,
etc. have given Envision Madison insight into what you want to see in our
community. The ideas expressed in the public workshops have given us a bet-
ter understanding about what is important to us as a community. From your
input, three additional areas of concern have been identified, what we can do
better as a community to enhance our: Workforce/Economic Development,
Recreation/Tourism, and improve communication between the Community
and the University.
Three taskforces have been formed from the public; which include private en-
tities, citizens, and businesses. Together we are exploring how we as a commu-
nity can work to enhance our community by addressing these concerns. I invite
you to continue to participate in Envision Madison by going to the Envision
Madison website, www.envisionmadsion.com, Facebook, and Twitter.
Lastly, Fall Clean-up is here. Have your yard waste ready for curbside pickup,
October 21st to November 18th.

FALL CLEAN UP
October 21-November 18.
Materials to be picked up

away from your garbage
can. Our Street Depart-
ment will try to pick up
materials on your sched-
uled garbage pick up day,
but may be a day after.
Please bag or bundle mate-
rials as much as possible so
they may be picked up by
hand. If the City has to

load trees, branches, etc.
you will be notified, and
may be charged for equip-
ment use. Limbs &

able to
