              Lake Geneva alderman censured after video incident

                Members of the Lake Geneva City Council’s Personnel Committee approved on May 4 to issue a censure against Alderman Joel Hoiland related to a complaint filed against City Administrator Dave De Angelis. The censure was approved by a 3-2 vote with Hoiland and Mary Jo Fesenmaier voting no. De Angelis’s complaint is related to an incident which occurred on Feb. 24 in which Hoiland filmed a campaign video at the city’s public works facility and requested that a city employee be a part of the filming. Hoiland ran against Mayor Todd Krause and ran for re-election for his District 3 seat on the City Council during the April 7 spring election. De Angelis alleges that Hoiland violated city policy by using city property for political activity, not receiving permission from a city administrator or department head to use city property, engaged a city employee during working hours and asking a city employee to participate in a political activity while on duty. Hoiland said he reviewed the city’s policies and ordinances and feel he was not in violation.
