City of Rhinelander

What City of Rhinelander does

The City of Rhinelander is the municipal government serving Rhinelander, Wisconsin, a city located in Oneida County. The City delivers essential public services to its residents, local businesses, and visitors through a portfolio of departments including Police, Fire, Public Works, Streets, Parks and Buildings, Water Utility, Wastewater Utility, Inspection, Planning and Zoning, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, and the City Clerk. It also operates recreational facilities such as Northwood Golf Club, Forest Home Cemetery, the Heal Creek Recreational Area, the city skatepark, and the municipal airport. Governance is provided through an elected Mayor and City Council supported by multiple commissions including the Plan Commission, Police & Fire Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Public Arts Commission, and the Downtown Works Revolving Loan Fund Committee.

The City's underlying technology footprint is modest and procurement-based rather than proprietary: it runs on the Revize government website platform for its public-facing portal and citizen forms, uses Laserfiche for document management and council meeting archives, and outsources online utility billing to paymentservicenetwork.com. The single product surface is a unified municipal services portal that consolidates department pages, online payments, permit applications, public notices, and records requests into one site. No mobile app, public API, or SDK is offered.

The City's revenue mechanics are entirely governmental: property taxes collected from in-jurisdiction owners fund general operations, water and wastewater utility fees (managed services) are billed to connected customers, one-time licensing and permit fees cover regulatory transactions, and assorted fees and charges (inspections, cemetery services, park reservations) round out the mix. Distribution is hybrid: a physical City Hall at 135 South Stevens Street handles walk-in service, supplemented by online self-serve portals for payments and permit forms, departmental offices for specialized services, and public meetings/hearings for civic engagement. Marketing is limited to the official website, Facebook, and an E-Notify email subscription.
