AGENDA SUMMARY SHEET
MEETING DATE: 05/18/26 TITLE: Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2023-2028
AGENDA SECTION: DISCUSSION
PRESENTER: Rachel Kaminski, Recreation
Program Director
SUMMARY
The Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan is a five year plan intended to guide the continual improvement of the
City’s park and open space system and to maintain the City’s eligibility for State and Federal park and recreation grants.
Parks, recreation and open space are important elements in the quality of life for all communities. Not only do parks and
open space provide a safe and healthy place to recreate, they also serve to beautify, protect the natural environment
and influence patterns of development in and around the City. The Board of Park & Recreation Commission will
continuously review this plan and focus on sections of the plan in future meetings.
We ask members of the Board of Park & Recreation Commission to familiarize themselves with the plan by accessing it
online at: https://cityofwaupunwi.gov/1601/Comprehensive-Recreation-Plan

Registration begins April 6
Candace Wojahn was a kind passionate woman who grew up in the Waupun area. At an early age
she learned how to swim at the Fond du Lac County Park pool and enjoyed it very much. She also
loved music, theater, dolphins, and children. She worked at the Waupun Wee Care Facility and
McDonald’s. She volunteered her time at the Union Congregational Church, helping with Sunday
school and in the nursery. Candace also knew challenges having been diagnosed with epilepsy
as a teen, and later as a single mother of three daughters. Candace passed away in 2007 due to
an epileptic episode. It is in her memory and spirit this program was created.
THE ENDOWMENT FUND
In honor and in memory of Candace, the Candace Wojahn Endowment Fund has been created. This was
established by Keith & Carla Wojahn, with the help and support from Candace’s siblings Tabitha
Bossenbroek and Benjamin Wojahn, along with Candace’s daughters Alia and Alyssa Hutchison, and
Jorden Wojahn. The YMCA of Dodge County, as a 501c3 organization, will manage the contributions
and investments. It is the intent that this fund will be perpetual, serving the Waupun area for years to
come. It is from this fund the Candace Wojahn Start Out Safe Water Program is financed. Additional
future programs may be developed as funding becomes available.

Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano 368 pages. “Finlay Donovan is killing it . . . except, she’s
really not. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos.
When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent, she’s
mistaken for a contract killer, and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband
in order to make ends meet . . . Soon, Finlay discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult
than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation.”
