Honorable Mayor and City Council:
I am writing this letter on behalf of the many campers that, for the most part, enjoy the use of
your beautiful "Miller-Riverview Park".
You have a problem there that needs to be addressed! The electrical system at Miller-
Riverview Park will not support the ak-conditioners that are common place on campers and
motor homes these days. I have personally experienced this on many occasions. During veay hot
weather conditions, this makes the use of the park less desirable. I know from talking with other
campers, that you have lost business because of this.
As the City Clerk/Administrator of the City of Monroe, Wisconsin, I am very familiar with
budgets and the fear of increased taxes. I know that you have many, many concerns that would
have a much higher priority than this electrical problem at this campground. I know that resolving
the electaical problem at Miller-Riverview Park would cost money, however, it is my hope, and
the hope of many others, that this city government would take up the cause and find a way to fix
the electrical problem.
I have had several thoughts and questions relative to this matter. If the electrical problem were
fixed, I know the campers would easily pay probably up to $16.00 or more per night, increased
from the current $10.00 per night, as this is an otherwise an excellent camping location
and facility. This could help pay back the expense. Would there be grants or matching fund grants
available for something like this, possibly from the state? Is there ADA implications for those that
might require a working ak-conditioning system.'?
Lastly, I would point out to you that these campers do bring money and spread it around your
fine city. If you have any questions or ifI can be of assistance in any way, I can be reached at 608-
329-2527, my direct line. Thank you for any consideration in this matter.

James R. Myers
