CITY OF SUN PRAIRIE TO HOST TOWN HALLS ABOUT APRIL 7 REFERENDUM
Sessions will provide residents with the opportunity to learn more and ask questions


Sun Prairie, WIS. – The City of Sun Prairie will host seven public town halls about the upcoming April 7
referendum. The sessions will include a presentation by City officials about the referendum and its impacts, as well as a Q&A session hosted by the City’s elected officials. An information session will be recorded and posted online for those unable to attend.

“This spring, Sun Prairie voters will see a referendum question on the ballot asking if they support a $3.95
million increase to the City’s property tax levy,” said Mayor Steve Stocker. “These town halls will allow us to share more details and communicate the City’s funding challenges with our community. It is our goal that residents feel well-informed before entering the voting booth on April 7.”

To accommodate as many City residents as possible, at least one session will be held in each district – hosted by that district’s elected officials. However, every town hall is open to any resident to attend, regardless of their district. Sessions will be held at the following dates and times:

o District 1: Monday, 2/16, 6:00-8:00 p.m. | City Hall Council Chambers | 300 E Main St
o District 2: Thursday, 2/19, 6:00-8:00 p.m. | McKenzie Family Boys & Girls Club | 232 Windsor St
