Mequon hires new assistant city administrator By Erik S. Hanley
The city of Mequon has hired an assistant city administrator.
Justin Schoenemann starts Dec. 5 and says he’s ready to get started.
“I take on tasks head first, I dive in,” he said.
Schoenemann was chosen out of 25 applicants, according to City Administrator Will Jones, to fill the position vacated by Jesse Thyes, who took over as the village administrator in Grafton in July.
People from as far as Florida applied for the position. Out of four finalists, Jones said Schoenemann was chosen due to his experience in human resources as well as information technology (IT).
“We had a strong applicant pool,” Jones said. “But we were lucky to find him up the road.”
Jones said Mequon is looking to create a new performance evaluation system as well as launching a new website in 2017. Schoenemann has experience with such things, saying he had a hand in the launch of an updated version of the Ozaukee County website.
Our M-T Sunrise Rotary Club has a fantastic opportunity to participate in a community service activity at the Pabst Theater next week Wednesday, December 7th. We will be working as ushers for The Christmas Carol. We need to arrive by 5:30pm. The show begins at 7:00. We will be finished by 9:00pm.
The Pabst Theater needs a final count of how many people will be participating by this Friday afternoon. Our goal is to have between 15-18 helpers from the group. You can bring your family and friends to help out as well! A big thank you goes out to Bob Blazich for organizing this project for our group! What a great way to kick off the holidays.
Please email me at jsutherland@newcastleplace.com to sign up. I will also provide a sign up sheet at our Rotary meeting this Friday morning.
The Volunteer Center of Ozaukee, a non-profit local organization, is hosting a holiday gift drive for families right here in our county. Last year, they were able to distribute gifts to 546 children (248 families). Our Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club is once again assisting their efforts with this year’s holiday giving project which gathers donations that can be utilized towards the cause. Below is an on-going list of client and organization needs.
Thank you in advance for considering the request for donating new, unused items for the sake of this local charitable organization. Please do not wrap any of the gifts. Together, we can help by taking away some of their stress during this holiday season. If you have any questions about this local organization or their work, please feel free to visit www.volunteerozaukee.org.
Items Needed:
Art supplies such as markers, colored pencils, paper, glue, scissors, etc.
Diapers, bottles, pacifiers, blankets and other baby supplies
Books for children of all ages
Toys for children of all ages (puzzles, legos, dolls, board games, etc.)
Winter hats, boots, mittens and scarves for children
Additionally, we understand that it might be easier to make a cash donation. If you are interested in this option, please bring your monetary donation to one of our upcoming Friday meetings on or before December 9th. We will be happy to go out and purchase items that are of the greatest need to the Volunteer Center of Ozaukee County.
Please know that there is absolutely no obligation to participate in this holiday giving project. We are simply organizing and offering this opportunity for those who would like to be involved and give back to families in need throughout Ozaukee County this holiday season. Additionally, a tax deductible letter can be given to you after your donation is made (upon request).
Many thanks,
Jennifer Sutherland
