PRESS RELEASE DATED 08/03/2016 Contact: Joshua Schoemann Email: Joshua.Schoemann@Co.Washington.Wi.Us Phone: (262) 306-2200 432 E. Washington St. ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT West Bend, WI 53095-7986 Phone (262) 306-2200 Joshua Schoemann, County Administrator FAX (262) 306-2201 WI 1-800-616-0446 [email protected] PRESS RELEASE DATED 08/03/2016 Contact: Joshua Schoemann Email: [email protected] Phone: (262) 306-2200 Schoemann Recognized as a Top 100 Local Government Influencer Washington County Administrator Joshua Schoemann has been recognized on a national “top 100 list.” The list places Schoemann at #14 among other prestigious local government professionals noting him as “the new face of local government.” Dallas Police Chief David Brown tops the list at #1 and four other Wisconsinites are named – Maurice Cheeks, City of Madison, Chad Doran, City of Appleton, Mark Rohlof, City of Oshkosh, and Gali Sumi, League of Wisconsin Municipalities. The list is named after NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” character Chris Traeger (actor Rob Lowe). In the fictional series, Traeger is a City Manager who displays a great amount of positive energy and enthusiasm for local government. According to Emerging Local Government Leaders (ELGL), creators of the list, “Our perfect Traeger List award winner is someone who has a jammed packed daily schedule, but makes time for an informational interview or to present a webinar to a nationwide audience. Our list is full of individuals that quiver at the phrase “I’m too busy.” “Josh is very deserving of this recognition,” said Washington County Board Chair Rick Gundrum. “His level of hard work and dedication has never dropped off since becoming our administrator. He is committed to making Washington County a great place to live, work, and play. Our staff and the citizens can all be real proud to have him leading our team!” Schoemann joined Washington County in early 2014 after serving as Administrator in Richfield and Princeton, WI. In his time with Washington County he has executed a four part jurisdictional asset transfer with West Bend, collaboratively worked to create a multi-county health department with neighboring Ozaukee County and initiated Priority Based Budgeting in conjunction with Strategic Planning. Prior to local government, Josh joined the WI Army National Guard, was called to active duty and was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq where he served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He currently serves as the Hartford Union High School Board President. “Beyond his leadership experience in the military and government, Josh influences local government professionals throughout the country because he is accessible, articulate, and motivated to improve his community,” added Kent Wyatt, co-founder of Engaging Local Government Leaders. .

    Table of Contents ________________________________________ Letter from the Director…………………………………………………....2 - 3 Watch Guide / Favorite Episodes……………………………………….......3 - 4 Overview…………………………………...………………………...............5 - 6 Characters / Portfolio Powers…………….…………………………….....6 - 14 Parks and Recreation Welcome to Pawnee, Indiana, home to the Parks and Recreation department run by Ron Swanson (but really, it's all thanks to Deputy Director Leslie Knope). A small town that serves as Everytown, USA, Pawnee has problems, from its obesity crisis to the raccoon infestation to the corrupt Sweetums Candy Company dominating the economy. But no problem is too big or small to be solved by Pawnee local government. This committee begins at season 6, right when the pretentious town of Eagleton goes bankrupt and the merger begins. Will Leslie be recalled as city councilwoman? What will happen with Rent-A-Swag? How will two towns that have lived as sworn enemies integrate? From Ron to Donna to Ben to Ann to Garry-Jerry-Larry-Terry, it's up to Pawnee's Department of Parks and Recreation to save the merger--and perhaps the town itself. 1 Letter from the Director ________________________________________ Delegates, Welcome! It is my privilege to welcome you to FCMUN as your crisis director. Last year, I was the crisis director for the Democratic National Committee and it was a blast, ending in Chance the Rapper being declared Emperor of my home city of Chicago, Bill De Blasio annihilating Trump Tower with the help of his assistant Kim Kardashian, and Bernie leading a secession movement for the northeast states. I can’t wait to see you all plot and solve more crazy crises.

  • Pawnee City Council
    WMHSMUN XXXIV Pawnee City Council Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letter From the Director Dear Delegates, Welcome to WMHSMUN! I am Molly McDade and it is my pleasure to be your director for WMHSMUN XXXIV. This is my second time attending this conference and it will be my first time directing a committee at a college level. I remember when I came to William & Mary’s conference as a starry-eyed freshman I was in awe of the world of International Relations. I hope that this conference will inspire you and be as impactful for you as it was for me. I am a freshman at William and Mary, and I plan on majoring in Government or Business. I am from Alexandria, Virginia, which is in Northern Virginia (NOVA) twenty minutes outside of DC. I absolutely loved Model United Nations in high school, and I would love to talk to all of you about any of the cool conferences you have attended I am very interested in other cultures and I love traveling (fun fact: I’ve been to almost 10 different countries!) I also have a passion for baking, and I adore corgis! For this committee, I expect that all of you come prepared for some riveting debate. Although this committee is based off the comedy show Parks and Recreation, I do expect delegates to take this committee seriously and be professional in moderated caucuses. Our two main topics are the obesity crisis in Pawnee and dealing with the Newport Plot. Our committee is composed of characters from a variety of professions including health professionals, entrepreneurs, councilmembers, and politicians.

  • Parks and Recreation Special Guests: Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, and Michael Schur
    The West Wing Weekly 0.07: Parks and Recreation Special Guests: Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, and Michael Schur HRISHI: You’re listening to a special episode of The West Wing Weekly. Today, we’re talking about all the ways in which The West Wing helped influence another show about idealistic people in government: Parks and Recreation. JOSH: Parks and Rec aired on NBC from 2009 to 2015, was nominated for loads of Emmys and a couple of Golden Globes, including a win for its star Amy Poehler in the role of Leslie Knope who, frankly, would have done very well in the Bartlet administration. HRISHI: If you haven’t seen Parks and Rec: one, get on it because you’re missing out, and two if you want a quick crash course before you keep listening to this episode, press pause here and then we recommend you watch, at a bare minimum, the last two episodes of Season 2, plus the “Live Ammo” episode which is Season 4, Episode 19. JOSH: This is an amazing show and if you can’t be bothered to watch all of it, well God, Jed, I don’t even wanna know you. HRISHI: There are two parts to our conversation today. We spoke with the co-creator of the show, Michael Schur, who is also responsible for creating or co-creating a bunch of great TV shows: the American version of The Office and then Parks and Rec, followed by Brooklyn 99, and then most recently, The Good Place. Some of the best TV around.

  • POLS 4950: Knope, Swanson, and Public Service
    POLS 4950: Knope, Swanson, and Public Service Dr. Keith E. Lee Jr. July 2019 E-mail: [email protected] Web: keitheleejr.com Office Hours: by appointment (phone or WebEx) Class Hours: online Office: online Class Room: online Course Description1 This course uses the NBC sitcom Parks & Recreation to explore the concepts of traditional public administration, new public management, and what Denhart and Denhart refer to as the new pub- lic service. The traditional public admin model evolved dramatically in the 1980s and 1990s. The new model, New Public Management, approached public service as a business and used private sector strategies to improve efficiency. New Public Service provides a competing approach that calls for a reaffirmation of public values that puts public interest first. Leslie Knope embodies the new public service and works tirelessly to meet citizen needs. Ron Swanson, on the other hand, is an anti-government libertarian that challenges Knope’s attempts to grow government to serve citizens, arguing government is the problem. Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt exemplify new public management principles when they show up in Pawnee to conduct an audit. Course Readings The book required for this course is available online via the library. Use this link to access the book: The New Public Service Bozeman’s Public Values and Public Interest is recommended to students interested in a more theo- retical challenge to New Public Management. Course Objectives By the end of the semester you will be able to: • Differentiate between New Public Service, New Public Management, and Old Public Ad- ministration • Examine various scenarios and apply concepts from the text 1I reserve the right to make changes to this syllabus at any time.
