Resident urges council to address delinquent utility charges; local rescue seeks humane-society contract
Summary
At the Feb. 10 Kewaunee Common Council meeting, Joe Mills told the council that utility charges for 'double lots' have appeared as delinquent tax amounts and asked the city to correct them. Cindy Lice, representing 'Cause for Paws,' urged the council to pursue a contract with the Humane Society similar to Algoma’s.
Joe Mills of 124 Blake Street told the Kewaunee Common Council on Feb. 10 that he and about 50 other property owners have delinquent tax-amounts on their bills after being charged for fire-protection service on so‑called 'double lots.' "I still didn't pay it because it's not a legal charge," Mills said, urging the council to "please fix this."
Cindy Lice, who identified herself as a staff member at 4 Legged Friends Veterinary Clinic and a representative of Cause for Paws, Kewaunee County, told the council her group is forming a nonprofit and recently signed a contract with the city of Algoma. She said Cause for Paws is working with the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and asked Kewaunee to pursue a similar contract with the Humane Society. "We have some folders here with our information," Lice said, and provided written materials and a Facebook page for follow-up.
Mayor (Speaker 1) and staff did not announce an immediate administrative remedy during public comment. The council did not take a vote on either the delinquent-utility issue or the animal-services request during the meeting; public comment was closed after the speakers finished.
The council’s next steps on the utility-billing complaint and the rescue group's request were not specified on the record; both items may require follow-up with city staff (billing office) or referral to the appropriate committee for investigation or action.
