On February 18, 2024 the Shorewood City Council, along with key city staffers, held what they referred to as a “retreat” at the Shorewood Community & Event Center. This was essentially an all-day work session to discuss strategic priorities and several other key topics.
What made this different from any other work session was that it was structured to discourage public attendance and the ability to review the meeting after the fact.

Now, we challenge the city council to be proactive, and have the courage to make the decision that protects the expensive taxpayer funded infrastructure and the environment, while providing the most efficiency in service.
