TO: THE HONORABLE ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGO
FROM: MAYOR JEROME GOTTFRIED
Gentlemen :
Resolution #125-81, As Amended, entitled, Establishing Ward
On the 28th day of July, 1981 your honorable body adopted
Boundaries Using 1980 Census Figures. That action was taken after
you know, the creation of districts in the City of Muskego has
rejecting two proposals submitted by a citizens committee. As
each alderman's district should be recreated. Several proposals
created a considerable amount of differences of opinion as to how
were prepared and the one finally accepted by the majority of the
Council members split a census block. An alternate was also prepared
in an attempt to assure that no alderman would lose a district and
in order to do so it was necessary to place a small section of
Aldermanic District V into Aldermanic District 111. It was also
necessary to nearly split District IV in two. It is my opinion
that the two proposals which you are suggesting be submitted to
the County reflect lack of thought and time in its creation I
have therefore decided to veto your action for the following reasons:
(1) You have failed to give proper consideration to a citizens e
which met every criteria established by the state and federal
committee who worked long and hard to develop proposals
laws
(2) You completely ignored the law by splitting a census block.
(3) You used whatever means possible without considering criteria
established by federal and state laws in order that the present
alderman of District 111 could remain in District 111
(4) You nearly split District IV in two separating people who would
have common interests.
(5) You split neighborhoods such as Bass Bay without any thought as
to what affect it would have on the people living in the area
There have been many reasons suggested as to why none of
the more 10 icdredistricting proposals were acceptable, none of
which I fee? are valid. Some of them are as follows: (1) "It
isn't fair to remove an alderman from his district", (2) I don't
want that area in my district because there are too many problems
with the people there", (~3) "The people at the edge of my district
shouldn't have to travel so far to vote", and (-4) "There shouldn't
be three aldermen representing lake property owners".
e
meets as much of the criteria established by state and federal law
and at the same time inconvenience as little as possible the
citizens of this community This is our responsibility and I feel
that we should do so. However, the two alternatives as proposed in
Resolution #125-81, As Amended, have ignored, in my opinion, not only
the citizens of this community but the state and federal laws
as well.
As you all know, the ideal redistricting map would be one that
possible the suggestions of the citizens committee a new redistrict-
ing proposal has been prepared which I urge you give your consideration
for its adoption. Admittedly, it is not perfect However, it has
while still meeting the required criteria. It is for the above
attempted to satisfy as much as possible the wishes of the aldermen
reasons that I respectfully urge you to uphold my veto of Resolution
#125-81, As Amended, and, if possible, adopt this evening's proposal
which more closely reflects concern for the citizens of this community and fulfills the required laws.
With the help of the staff at city hall and using as much as
