| New Lisbon City
Administrator: In Wisconsin, the position of administrator is a locally developed office. The statutes do not provide for the position. Instead cities have used their "home rule" authority to establish it, while continuing to operate with the traditional part-time Mayor-Council form of government. Under a typical arrangement, the administrator is responsible for day-to-day operations, implementing ordinances and carrying out other governing body directives that require administrative action. The delegation of administrative affairs to a fulltime office leaves the council free to concentrate on policy matters. Contact Information: City Administrator Ed Kaelin 232 W. Pleasant St. New Lisbon, Wisconsin 53950 608.562.5213 Email: nladmin@mwt.net A message from the city administrator: It is the goal of the City Administrative Office to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of all administrative functions and services of the City.
