Council approves downtown kiosk advertising policy and fees, 12–1
Summary
The Common Council approved an advertising policy and fee schedule for a downtown kiosk by a 12–1 vote after a Finance Committee recommendation; councilors said the change will help recoup kiosk operating costs.
The Waukesha Common Council on March 4 approved an advertising policy and fees for a downtown kiosk by a vote of 12–1.
The item came to the full council after the Finance Committee recommended approval on a 3–1 vote. Alderperson Piper moved the item forward and committee members and several councilors said local business owners and downtown visitors had expressed interest in paid advertising options. Alderperson Heves Leven voiced support, saying business owners had requested the change and that advertising could help recoup kiosk operating costs.
Why it matters: the policy establishes fees and a process for paid advertising on a downtown kiosk and is intended to offset operating costs associated with the kiosks.
Vote and next steps: the motion passed 12–1. Council members did not detail the fee schedule in the public discussion on the record, but staff present said the policy had passed Finance Committee and is expected to be implemented under the city’s normal administrative procedures.
