REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Fox Cities Exhibition Center and Your Future Live
PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator
REPORT DATE: July 13, 2018
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: ( See Below )
EXPLANATION: As part of the agreement regarding the construction of the Fox Cities Exhibition
Center, each municipality within the tourism zone contributing hotel room tax to the facility is granted
one “free” day to use the facility for an event.
While many communities have looked for creative ways to use their “free” day, we have been
approached by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce with the request that we donate our day for 2019
for their use. The event they are attempting to host there is called the “Your Future Live”. The event is
catered to local 8th to 12th grade students with conversations regarding future careers, networking with
local employers and information related to financial planning.
With the current status of the local workforce, any effort related to assisting local employers with
access to students or resources for students would seem to be an effective utilization of the resource
provided to the Village of Little Chute.
Staff have talked about the expectation that this would not be an annual item, unless other
circumstances emerged in the future. The Chamber is very understanding of that and assured that we
would be noted as a sponsor and have the opportunity to have a “free” booth/table to present
opportunities related to municipal/public sector service.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the donation of the Village of Little Chute’s “Free Day” to the
Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce.

INFORMATION FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
I TEM DESCRI PTI ON: WEDC Connect Community Renewal for 2018-2019 (FY 2019)
PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator
REPORT DATE: July 13, 2018
EXPLANATION: The Village of Little Chute was initially accepted into WEDC’s Connect Community
program in the 2014-2015 cycle. Since that time, staff and other community members, participated in
training, received access to web based support and worked with a WEDC Community Manager on a
number of items. As a reminder, this program is intended to provide support for communities on
downtown or central business districts and 2014 year was Little Chute’s first in participation in this
program.
The WEDC staff has circulated contract renewals for those communities who have met the requirements of
the program for the 2018-2019 cycle. Part of that renewal process is again agreeing to meet the terms of
the contract (see attached), which has been relatively easy to achieve for Village staff. Mainly, the contract
requires a $200 fee, participation in training opportunities, fund economic development efforts related to
the program and related annual reports.
While the benefits to this program are not substantial in terms of direct funding, continued presence, effort
and application of resources will result in gains for the Village of Little Chute in the long-term as it relates
to downtown development. With that in mind, the recommendation below is appropriate and justifiable.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to authorize the Administrator to renew the
contract with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation for the 2018-2019 Connect
Community program.
July 12, 2018
Dear Returning Connect Communities Participant,
We are glad to welcome you back for another year of the Connect
Communities program. We are encouraged by the significant
strides that many of our participating communities made in
downtown revitalization during the past year, and are looking
forward to greater engagement in the coming year.
As a returning Connect Communities participant, you are likely
aware of the various events and training opportunities available
throughout the year. We will continue to post these opportunities
through the Chatter group and have also added an “Events” tab to
the Wisconsin Main Street Facebook page,
facebook.com/WisconsinMainStreet. Remember, participating
communities are required to have local representation at a
minimum of two events (of any type) throughout the year in
order to remain in the program in future years.
Your community provided a list of individuals who were designated
as Connect Community participants for the past year. At this point,
you will have the opportunity to add or remove individuals from this
list for the coming year. Please indicate changes via e-mail, to
darrin.wasniewski@wedc.org.
Connect Communities will continue to receive additional technical
support from their WEDC Regional Economic Development Director
(REDD). We encourage you to schedule a progress visit with your
REDD during the upcoming year to discuss progress on your
downtown initiatives, brainstorm additional activities and funding
strategies, and receive updates on new WEDC and partner
programs. If you are adding new individuals to your Connect
Communities team, please invite these individuals to the meeting
so they can get up to speed on the program.
As always, this meeting is a great opportunity to publicly launch
new activities and gain publicity regarding the success of your local
downtown revitalization efforts. We encourage you to take
advantage of this opportunity to encourage participation and
program buy-in by community members, elected officials and
stakeholders.
Enclosed with this letter are several additional documents. They include:
• Connect Communities agreement. Please sign and return no later than August 15th.
• Our preferred method of receiving the documents is through e-mail. Please send
scanned documents to contracts@wedc.org and cc: darrin.wasniewski@wedc.org.
