Candidate Rhonda Kamenick opposes the Saukville Plan Commission's decision to deny the conditional use permit the company was seeking in order to build their store closer to a wetlands area than current ordinances allow.
Editor's note: The following was submitted by Rhonda Kamenick, a candidate running for Trustee in the village of Saukville. If you'd like to submit a letter, e-mail Lyssa.Beyer@patch.com or upload it immediately in the Local Voices platform. On Thursday, the Village of Saukville Planning Commission denied Kwik Trip’s request for a conditional use of the property west of I-43 and north of Highway 33. Commission members voting against the permit claimed a gas station would pose too great of a risk being close to neighboring wetlands. However, existing gas stations in Saukville operate as close or closer to wetlands, raising questions of the commission members' true motivations. According to a report by Pioneer Environmental, Beck's Exxon …

Kevin Rudser runs for the Common Council 5th District spot on the platform, "A TALL man with a BIG heart for Port Washington."
After Ald. Joe Dean filed his noncandidacy papers in December and no other candidates for the 5th District surfaced, the spot became slated for a write-in race — a race that seemed to be very empty until Kevin Rudser's announcement to run. "I have enjoyed my nearly 8 years in Port Washington and have been active in a number of committees and boards," Rudser said in an e-mail to Patch. "I believe in our community and want to see it continue to grow and prosper. As an alderman, it would allow me to serve our community and be a voice for our district. I believe we still have work to do, but that we are headed in a very positive direction. With the support of my family and friends, I ultimately decided to run." Rudser's slogan on fliers is, "…

Village President Barbara Dickmann was the only candidate to file papers for her spot; the trustees, however, will see a contested race.
Four trustees will face off for three opening positions in the April elections for the Saukville Village Board. Incumbents Mike Krocka, Joe Caban and Dave Maglio have all filed for re-election in the spring race; newcomer Rhonda Kamenick also filed papers by the Wednesday deadline, throwing a bit of competion into the race. Saukville Village Board operates as an "at-large" election, meaning the top three vote-getting candidates will take the open spots, village official Mary Kay Bauman said. "Saukville is a picturesque place to raise a family and live, but we also need businesses not only to frequent ourselves, but to draw people to this area," Kamenick said in a press release announcing her candidacy. One of the big concerns for Kamenick…
Four seats on the Port Washington Common Council are up for election in April, and only three candidates have filed the needed papers for the deadline.
Editor's note: The following article has been updated to reflect a correction regarding filing deadline dates. One Port Washington Common Council seat has no candidate after the filing deadline passed with no applicants to the 5th District. Ald. Joe Dean serves in that seat and filed his noncandidacy papers by the Dec. 21 deadline, Deputy Clerk Susan Westerbecke said. However, no other person has filed for candidacy in that district as of the filing deadline on Wednesday, meaning no name will appear on the ballot, she said; the hope is that a write-in candidate will emerge. "I decided to not run again, based on my many other commitments (volunteer work, county, career, etc.) and because I want to return my focus to faith and family," Dean …
The incumbents of the opening spots on the Port Washington-Saukville School Board were the only three candidates who filed papers to run in the upcoming April elections.
After some turnover in the most recent election, the Port Washington-Saukville School Board is set for no new faces in April with only the incumbents filing for candidacy in the election. Two representative spots for the city of Port as well as one spot representing the towns of Grafton and Saukville will be on the ballot with uncontested races. The incumbent candidates include: Last year, candidates Michelle Mueller and Brenda Fritsch joined the board, replacing long-time president Patty Ruth and board member Myron Praeger decided not to run again. School Board members serve three year terms, and are paid $1,200 annually for attending one regular monthly meeting as well as one monthly committee meeting. The members are paid extra for …
