Why are you the best choice for village trustee?

I am the best choice for village trustee because I enjoy being involved with community activities and listening to people. My first goal on the board would be to learn more about the politics of the village. I hear the village needs new ideas. I want to convey to the board the concerns that people voiced to me, while circulating nomination papers. Also, I want to convey a sense of accessibility to the public on decisions made within the village. Maybe take the Village of Forestville in a new direction, but still take care of public works.

What is the number one issue facing the village and what is your position on it?

I guess our number one issue facing the village right now is the cleaning up of the old cheese factory building. Since it is condemned, I agree it needs to be taken care of, but the planning needed to take care of our sanitary system is my main concern.

What perspective and skills do you bring to the board?

I have an elementary knowledge of public works and ability to provide prompt and complete technical advice. I have developed a participative leadership style where I do enjoy hearing people’s concerns and suggestions, then in return make reasonable and sound decisions where I can be a voice for the people. Leadership of personnel, resources, and management as demonstrated by selection to a command position.

What other issue or issues are a high priority for the village in the term ahead.

The Forestville Sanitary System

Continued clean up of the village

Road repair and drainage issues

Gayle Gulley

Age: 67

Relevent Experience/Civic Involvement: President Door County Library Board;  President of Library Foundation; President of Forestville Library Board; Former Treasurer of Sturgeon Bay Business Women

Why are you the best choice for village trustee?

This is my second term and I have worked on many issues including the Cheese Factory Grant and sewer plant issues. I am a retired resident that has time to check out the issues. I have the desire to do my best for all the village residents.

What is the number one issue for the village in the term ahead? The DNR is requiring the village to do upgrades to the sewer system. This will be a challenge to seek funding and grants for the estimated $1.2 million cost to keep the price down for the 300+ residents.
