Houseman gets City Hall swear-in for first day as Janesville's new city manager

JANESVILLE — Rebecca Houseman’s children received a pretty tasty welcome on the parent’s first day of work at Janesville City Hall. City staff swore in Houseman first thing Monday morning, getting her three children into the post-swear-in refreshments line at City Hall for a cookie by 9:15 a.m., plenty of time to chow down on a special treat before they headed off for school. Houseman’s family got to witness Houseman, the city’s 12th manager overall and its first-ever female manager, get sworn in. Houseman kept her remarks direct and brief in a ceremony that was offered City Hall officials time to take a few photos. “I’m excited to work together to move the community and the city as an organization forward,” Houseman said during a short address. Houseman comes aboard City Hall about five months after former city manager Kevin Lahner left as city manager. Janesville’s new leader comes aboard as the city turns a corner in how it plans its future: staff are finalizing changes to a zoning code that, among other things, will create more flexible rules to shape neighborhoods with blends of different types of housing, from apartments to single-family homes. One new opportunity on that front

City of Janesville receives $445,000 from FEMA for debris, flood cleanup

JANESVILLE — The City of Janesville is still working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to determine how to allocate more than $445,000 in Public Assistance funding it has landed so far for damage caused by April’s severe storms and flooding. Kelly Bedessem, the city’s housing and emergency management director, said the city is working through damage estimates and costs associated with several recovery projects, including storm debris cleanup, damage to skylights at City Services and flood mitigation efforts along the city’s Greenbelt. Bedessem said she was not yet certain which specific projects would receive the newly announced funding, but debris cleanup could account for a significant portion of the reimbursement. The city is continuing to work with FEMA to establish the full extent of the damage and determine eligible costs for repairs and mitigation. That process includes assessing damage to storm sewer outfalls, culverts and other infrastructure, as well as debris carried downstream by floodwaters. Engineers have been surveying the Greenbelt to document damage and develop more detailed cost estimates, Bedessem said. The city also is working with FEMA representatives on a weekly basis to review the estimates and ensure the damage is properly documented. The funding is part
