Rain Garden Grant 
The Ozaukee County Land and Water Management received a grant to help residents in the Milwaukee River Watershed area plant rain gardens.  A rain garden is a shallow depression, planted with native flowers, which catches rain water from downspouts and rooftops.  The water is allowed to soak into the ground instead of flowing over the landscape and potentially sending excess fertilizer and other pollutants into the Milwaukee River.  The grant assists property owners by reimbursing 70% of the establishment costs.  The maximum reimbursement is $750 per rain garden.  If you live in the Milwaukee River Watershed and are interested in the grant program, please call the Ozaukee County Land and Water Management at (262) 284-8313.

VOTER INFORMATION  

Vote-Your Vote Counts

PHOTO/VOTER ID REQUIRED IN 2016

On March 23, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for enforcement of Wisconsin's 2011 voter ID law.  Photo ID is now required for all elections in Wisconsin.

Please be prepared with your Photo ID for the 2016 elections.  Election Inspectors will be required through legislative action to ask for Voter Photo ID, along with a voter's signature to receive a ballot.

As typical with past elections for Wisconsin State Voter Registration applications, voters are still required to provide proof of residence when registering to vote.  A list of acceptable proof of residence documents are listed on the Government Accountability Board's website at http://www.gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/photo-id .

Upcoming Election Dates for 2016:

2016 Partisan Primary - August 9, 2016
