PRESENTATIONS
OZAUKEE COUNTY
TOURISM COUNCIL (OCTC)

$100 annual dues to be part of the OCTC, the total request would be
$400.
RIVER FEST
Mike Krocka is
requesting $800 for the river clean up for 2011.
Hamann asked how
attendance and the clean up went for 2010.
Krocka stated
that it is a combination of scouts, Saukville families and other
volunteers. There were 90-100 volunteers in 2010.
Krocka stated
that in addition to cleaning up the river, area volunteers go around
the Village to unattended areas to clean up. They have also been
painting stencils on the road by the storm sewers warning not to
pour items into the drains.
Krocka said the
money is used for advertising, lunch for the volunteers, and a thank
you gift. Eddie’s Service has always covered any extra expenses
incurred.
4TH OF
JULY PARADE
Mary Kay Baumann
stated that the Parade Committee is requesting $2,000 for the 2011
festivities. The committee does have a balance that carried over
from the previous year, however a portion of it will be used for the

Baumann stated
that the only unknown is the cost of the band. All other expenses
are recurring and may go up a small amount but not significantly.
SAUKVILLE CHAMBER
RUN/WALK
Stacey Frey
stated the Chamber will no longer be doing Family Fun Day. The
Run/Walk was very successful whereas Family Fun Day lost money.
Hamann asked how
the money is used. Frey stated that it is used for advertising,
t-shirts, awards, and cash prizes. Last year there were 1700-2000
post cards sent out to runners throughout the state.
Frey stated that
the runners are charged a fee to enter the Run/Walk.
Frey stated that
the Chamber does solicit for other donations.
Frey stated that
the cost of the Run/Walk for 2010 was $3,130. Profit after expenses
was $4,700.

Sauer recommended
doing the $1000 to be a corporate sponsor.
SAUKVILLE FIRE
DEPARTMENT CAR SHOW
Phil Vincevineus
provided documents from a car show magazine showing an article
regarding the 2010 Saukville Fire Department Car Show. Vincevineus
felt this was great advertising and the word is getting out.
Dickmann asked
what the Friends of the Saukville Fire Department do with the
money. Fisher stated that they basically purchase items that are
not budgeted including items like GPS systems for the vehicles and a
new computer for the ambulance.
Fisher stated
that WI Hot Rod Radio was at this year’s show which provides
excellent visibility.
Dickmann
questioned whether we were the best show in the region. Vincevineus
said they have been told that.
Vincevineus said
they are asking for $5,000 which is $1,000 over last year. Dickmann
asked what the additional money was for. Vincevineus stated
increased advertising costs.
Schoenfeldt
recommended $4,500 based on venue and use of money.
NATIONAL NIGHT
OUT

Dickmann

Department, and American Legion Post #470.
D. Schoenfeldt
stated “we are helping to promote the memory”.
D. Schoenfeldt

potential cost of the speakers, rental of chairs, and the purchase
of additional candles, expenses may be greater in 2011.
D. Schoenfeldt is
requesting $1000.
Hamann suggested
$750. Maglio would like to bump it up to $1000 if possible. J.
Schoenfeldt stated that it is the 10th anniversary and
there will be additional expenses. Krocka said leave at $750.
Sauer recommended $1000.
SAUKVILLE AREA
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Anne Kertscher
stated that all monies from 2010 were spent.
The current need
for the building is flooring. Kertscher shared all the progress
that has been made and what still needs to be done.
The Historical
Society’s intention is to offer the gallery to outside groups for
meetings and events. Kertscher stated that beginning in spring
there will be regular hours for touring the building.
Kertscher stated
that the photos that are being requested in addition to the carpet
would be part of the esthetics. Kertscher stated that every dollar
has been stretched to the max. They have relied heavily on
volunteers.
Dickmann asked
how the membership drive went. Kertscher stated that they did get a
few new members but also obtained additional members after the
Village-wide rummage sale.
Dickmann asked
about the four (4) different prices for the photos. Kertscher
stated that there are four (4) different sizes and the preferred is
the 4’ x 5’ photos.
Dickmann asked
about having photos sponsored. D’Angelo said that yes, her family
will be sponsoring the first one in memory of some of her family
members.
Dickmann stated
that she would prefer that the Village sponsor the photos over
carpeting. Schoenfeldt stated that $1000 would cover the cost of
four (4) photos.
D’Angelo stated
that there was some carpeting donated but it only covers ¼ of the
room. Magic Touch has also offered new carpeting at cost.
D’Angelo stated
that the carpeting is needed for comfort and warmth if other groups
are going to use the room.
Maglio agreed
with Schoenfeldt in that the $1000 should be used for photos.
Sauer also agreed
that the money should be used for the photos. The remainder of the
Board also agreed.
Kertscher invited
the Village Board to host their December 21st meeting at
the Historical Society.
D’Angelo stated
that she would really like the money to be used for carpeting.
Dickmann stressed that it is the Board’s decision that the money be
used for the photos.
LIVE @ THE
TRIANGLE
Wagner stated
that the Village runs the event and the $1,000 requested is needed
to be a premier sponsor of the event.
RECOGNITION
DINNER
Jerry Dickmann
stated that the number of awards being given out this year is double
what we normally have. The Village has many long-term employees.
J. Dickmann
stated that other than awards, expenses have been kept the same as
last year.
J. Dickmann
stated that the committee is requesting $5000 with a large portion
of it going for awards.
J. Dickmann
stated that the Committee got prices from last year’s caterer and
that a local restaurant was a little more expensive.
B. Dickmann asked
if the Fire Department personnel received any other monetary
recognition. Fisher stated no.
Wagner stated
that it is really nice to have so many long-term employees.
B. Dickmann asked
Wagner if there were any other funding ideas. Wagner suggested
possibly using some money from contingency, but stressed that it is
not something that should be relied upon every year.
Schoenfeldt
suggested having employees pay for a portion of their meal. Maglio
said no. This is supposed to be recognition for employees that work
hard all year. We don’t want to ask them to pay for their own meal.
Hamann suggested
using $2,450 from the Contingency Fund for the awards and the
balance from Room Tax. Dickmann strongly supported Hamann’s
suggestion. Everyone agreed but Schoenfeldt. She doesn’t feel it
sends the right message.
The
recommendation is to use $2,450 from the Contingency Fund and $2,550
from the Room Tax Fund.
CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS – INSTALL & BUY
deBruijn stated
that the banners that hang along the entrance to Village Hall and
the Police Department are missing the spring version. Currently the
winter ones remain up until the patriotic summers ones are in
place. deBruijn would like to add the spring banners to the
rotation.
The second
request was the replacement of the sign at the Library located on S.
Main Street.
deBruijn stated
that there is a change in the original quote given to the Board. If
the DPW does the install and we just pay for delivery it would bring
the cost down to $2402.
Dickmann asked if
it was possible to split the cost with the Library or Friends of the
Library.
Dickmann stated
that $1202 would come from Room Tax and $1200 from the Library.
$417 would be allocated for the banners.
Schoenfeldt was
asked to discuss the $1,200 for the sign with the Library Board.
ADVERTISING/MARKETING
Wagner stated
that last year’s funding was used, in part, to update the Village
map with the Chamber. No additional advertising was done. The
Village is working with the CDA on marketing.
Dickmann
recommended that $500 come from Room Tax and $500 from the CDA.
VILLAGE
NEWSLETTER
Wagner stated
that Michelle Jaeger works with the Village Printer to keep costs
down. Due to increased costs (printing & mailing) the request is
for $2,000. Baumann noted that postage rates will be going up again
early next year.
PLEASANT VALLEY
BIKE RUN (NEW REQUEST)
Vincevineus
stated that this request is to help promote the bike run.
Dickmann stated
that she is concerned about funding two events for one department.
Everyone was in agreement.
Dickmann stated
that this time the request will not be honored.
The distribution
of funds was reviewed.

made a motion to recommend to the Village Board approval of the 2011
Room Tax Budget at $33,117 with $10 in Reserve for a total of
$33,127. Motion carried.

$82,258.

WEATHER WARNING
SYSTEM OPERATION
Krocka stated
that discussion was held at the Public Safety Committee meeting
regarding the sirens and the cost to bring them into compliance.
Morrison stated
that federal mandate is requiring all municipalities to convert to
narrow band systems. The paging and weather control systems were
overlooked. This conversion must be completed by January 1, 2013.
There will be no extensions allowed and no running of existing
systems.
Morrison reviewed
what must be done to move forward.
Morrison stated
that the newer pagers at the fire department can be reprogrammed.
The boards for the sirens would have to be sent out and
reprogrammed. The base cost would be $500-600 per siren. Eventual
cost could be $3,000 if new boards need to be installed.
Morrison offered
three (3) options:
-
Spend the money to modify the sirens
-
Downsize the system – go to three sirens
-
Turn sirens off completely
A recommendation
was made from the Public Safety Committee to begin promoting an
alternate plan for alerting citizens on January 1, 2011.
Krocka/Maglio
made a motion to move forward with alerting the public and turning
the sirens off.
Hamann asked when
the last time was that the sirens were sounded. Morrison stated
that they were sounded once last year and once this year.
Hamann asked if
neighboring communities were contacted.
Morrison stated
that Port Washington has a different system and are already narrow
banded. Grafton works off their own 800 system and have newer
boards.
Morrison feels
the Village would be taking the lead on this.
Morrison stated
one method of obtaining weather information is the use of weather
radios that would run 24/7 with a battery backup.
Schoenfeldt
worried about residents that don’t have the technology. She feels
the Village would be doing residents a disservice by eliminating the
sirens.
Morrison stated
the possibility of holding public meetings in 2011. Dickmann stated
that if it turns out the public doesn’t want to move forward, we
won’t.
Krocka stated
that he originally had some concerns but after further discussion he
is on board.
Dickmann asked
for an amended motion.

were a few questions but it was decided to not make any changes.

been received from the State and the total assessed value has gone
down $1,527,200. The proposed budget will have a 43¢ increase in the
mill rate which will be $6.40/$1,000 of valuation for the Village of

2011 BUDGET
DISCUSSION
Wagner reviewed
the changes made at the October 11th workshop. Wagner
reviewed a discussion with Ehlers, the Village’s Financial Advisor.
Option 1: Can the Village prepay any of its outstanding debt, 2008
bond issuance or an earlier issuance? Option 2: Can the Village
feather in approximately $300,000 of the 2008 unused bond proceeds
over the next 3 yrs? Ehlers responded that the Village could only
prepay debt when you get within 90 days of the call date originally
scheduled for an issue. There are three small trust fund loans for
water purposes which would not benefit the General Fund. The next
issue would be the 2004 bond issue which will be callable in 2013.
The best approach would be to feather in the remaining balance to
reduce the impact of the debt increase.
The 5 year
Capital Plan was reviewed. No changes were made at this time.
Wagner informed the Committee that rates are very good for borrowing
now. Trustee Sauer said that rates are very good due to the
uncertainty with the elections. The best time to borrow would be
during the lame duck session. It was decided to get direction from
Ehlers when the best time would be.
The consensus of
the Finance Committee was to leave the budget as is with a 2.6%
operating and capital budget increase. The total increase with debt
will be 7.1%, mainly due to the Police Dept Project and the STH 33
reconstruction project.
The next meeting
will be November 2, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. to review the final numbers.
The Public
Hearing will be November 29, 2010 at 7:45 p.m.

2011 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Wagner gave an overview of
the 2011 proposed budgets, Operating and Capital, with all requests
included. She informed the Committee that the Village is bound by
the State imposed Levy Limit of 3% not the Village’s net new
construction figure of (.63%).
Wagner also noted that the
revenues have decreased. The largest areas of decrease are
Expenditure Restraint and Interest Earnings.
Several items were removed
from the operating and capital budget. There was a discussion on
the balance left over from the 2008 bond issuance, due to
conservative spending with the Police Department Project. Wagner
will contact Ehlers on the best route to use and will report back at
the next budget meeting.

fixtures were used for display but have never actually been in use.
Discussion was
held regarding the light poles and the electrical work that would
have to be done.

lights to be purchased and the remainder of the project would be
left open for future 2011 budget discussion.

2010 CHEVY
CHASSIS – AMBULANCE
Wagner stated
that this is similar to the discussion regarding the new fire
truck. The Village has the opportunity to buy a 2010 chassis for
the new ambulance. As with the fire truck, the 2011 ambulance
chassis would have diesel emissions and would have additional
maintenance costs.
Wagner stated
that she spoke with the Village’s financial advisor and we are under
budget with the Police Department project. The balance can be used
towards the ambulance because it qualifies under protective
services. By using the money from the Police Department project,
the Village would avoid having to borrow separately for the new
ambulance in 2011.
Chief Schultz
stated that the 2010 chassis does not have the new diesel emissions
that will be required in 2011. Additional filter and maintenance
fees would also be incurred if a 2011 chassis is purchased.
Schultz stated
that the Village has three options:
- Chevy
Chassis from Brahm at a cost of $34,902 after January 1, 2011.
- Dealer would
buy chassis at a cost of $37,500 – they would charge
$180/month
interest until the order is put in.
Schultz stated
that the chassis from Brahm would have to be paid for right away.
Kirsch stated
that the 2011 chassis is $6,000 more than the 2010 chassis.
Schultz stated
the total cost of the new ambulance will be $155,320 with the
rebate. The Village would receive approximately $30,000-$35,000
trade-in on the old ambulance.
Wagner stated
that money left from the bonding can be used to pay down the loan or
it can be used for other substantial qualifying equipment.
Schultz expressed
concern regarding the emission requirements on the new engines.
Schoenfeldt/Maglio made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
approval of the purchase of the 2010 Chevy Chassis for the new
ambulance at a cost of $34,902. Motion carried.
AMENDMENT TO THE
PERSONNEL POLICIES MANUAL – SECTION 13.1 (a) NON-HARASSMENT POLICY

approval of the amendment to the Personnel Policies Manual Section
13.1(a) Non-Harassment Policy as presented. Motion carried.

BOHL
PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
A boiler plate
agreement was used so the agreement should say Town of Saukville not
Town of Port Washington. The net gain is positive after taxes.
Biernat did all the paperwork for this and advises that it be done.
He requested a review by the Department of Administration and they
advised that it is in the public interest to do the annexation. The
property directly abuts the Village of Saukville. Wilhelm said the
Village of Saukville utilities are directly adjacent to this
annexation.
Krocka/Maglio
made a motion to waive creation of pre-annexation agreement but to
reserve the right for future annexations on a case by case basis.
Motion carried.
4x2 TRUCK –
CAB/CHASSIS PROPOSAL & 4x2 TRUCK – DUMP BODY/HYDRAULICS/CHIPPER BOX
PROPOSAL
The two proposals
were discussed together. There is a history with Monroe Truck so
that was the recommendation by the Public Works Committee. Repairs
would be done in Green Bay vs. Iowa which would save on repair
time. Overall there will be a savings of $24,000 due to some
changes in specifications—diesel emissions controls are not a proven
technology at this time.
Schoenfeldt/Krocka made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
the approval of the Badger Truck Cab/Chassis at a cost of $31,360.39
and the Monroe Truck Equipment Hydraulics/Chipper Box for

Brews, Brian Peschel, and Mark Jaeger.
RHYTHM N BREWS
REVOLVING LOAN FUND REQUEST
Biernat stated
that Rhythm n’ Brews is a new business in the Foster Commons
Business District. Biernat stated that Rhythm n’ Brews has done an
admirable job. They opened last August and it has been difficult to
weather the economic conditions as a new business.
Sauer asked what
the Revolving Loan Fund was used for and how often. He also asked
what amount was available.
Biernat stated
that it is a program that was created by the Village dating back to
the 1990’s to foster business development and retention. Rods and
Whalers was the first business to take advantage of the program and
is still a viable business in the community.
Wagner stated
that the current balance is a little over $100,000. Wagner stated
that there are several businesses that are currently utilizing the
program such as Salons of Conservancy Court, P. D. Peterka, and
Northern Lights Tan Spa.
Dickmann stated
that this is the purpose of these funds.
Sauer asked how
Rhythm n’ Brews compares to the other businesses that have utilized
the program.
Biernat stated
that they are a little different in that previous businesses have
been in business longer and Rhythm n’ Brews is looking to use the
funds for additional capital.
Wagner asked
Biernat to explain the difference in the proposed project.
Biernat stated
that this is his first time dealing with this type of project.
Rhythm n’ Brews is going to provide matching funds. Biernat stated
that part of the agreement would require Rhythm n’ Brews to place
matching funds in the Revolving Loan Fund Account and use those
funds first.
Hamann asked how
the money was going to be used.
Greene stated
that it would be used as working capital.
Sauer stated that
he was apprehensive about the loan because of the newness of the
business. He asked what projections were for the beginning of 2010.
Greene stated
that preliminary numbers put them down 20%. Greene stated that the
business has been re-evaluated. He stated that his other business
carries a similar long term burden.
Sauer stated that
it appeared that expenses are currently about 2/3 of the revenue and
asked if there were any plans to decrease expenses.
Greene stated
that he feels they have done a good job trying to control costs and
their labor numbers have come down substantially.
Sauer asked if
they had a revised business plan. Green stated no.
Sauer stated that
it appeared they had $10,000 cash on hand and wondered how the
balance was being floated. Greene stated that is was out of his
pocket.
Sauer asked what
happens if the $100,000 doesn’t hold over.
Greene stated
that their earning potential is strong but the economy has
weakened. He is putting together a plan to strengthen his
construction company. Greene stated that he believes strongly that
Rhythm n’ Brews is on the right track. He stated that he has
listened to feedback and is making revisions to accommodate that
feedback.
Sauer stated that
looking at “worst case scenario” there is nothing tangible to
satisfy repayment of the Revolving Loan Fund. Sauer stated that he
is looking for a secondary guarantee.
Greene felt that
was covered in the draft for the loan proposal.
Greene stated
that they have not had any problems with suppliers or vendors.
Sauer stated that
he would like to see a revised business plan and financial
projections for the next several years.
Greene stated
that he thought the Revolving Loan Fund Program was designed to help
businesses out and is confused by the definition.
Sauer stated that
he understands the reasons for the Revolving Loan Fund but is
looking at risk mitigation. Sauer wants to know if this is a “last
ditch effort”.
Krocka stated
concern that the Village has lost on two Revolving Loan Funds and
what happens if this one doesn’t come through.
Dickmann stated
that Greene is putting up his personal guarantee and the guarantee
of the construction business.
Greene questioned
what happened to the other two businesses.
Wagner stated
that both businesses are in bankruptcy.
Dickmann stated
that the loan application for Rhythm n’ Brews can not be judged on
the two that failed.
Wagner stated
that every other loan (but these two) that the Village has entered
into has been successful.
Biernat stated
that we do incur a higher degree of risk by doing these loans, but
the program is intended to provide economic assistance.
Hamann/Schoenfeldt made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
approval of the Revolving Loan Fund request from Rhythm n’ Brews as
presented. Roll call vote was taken - Dickmann-aye, Hamann-aye,
Krocka-nay, Schoenfeldt-aye, Sauer-nay, Caban-nay, and Maglio-nay.
Motion denied.
Krocka/Sauer made
a motion to recommend to the Village Board to deny the request for
the Revolving Loan from Rhythm n’ Brews. Roll call vote was taken –
Dickmann-nay, Hamann-nay, Krocka-aye, Schoenfeldt-nay, Sauer-aye,
Caban-aye, and Maglio-aye. Motion carried.
PRESALE REPORT
AND CAPITAL FINANCING PLAN
Wagner stated
that the current plan includes the new fire truck in 2010, and
street repairs for Mayfair Dr. in 2010 and Mill St. in 2011.
Wagner explained
the 7.25% prepayment incentive from Pierce for the purchase of the
fire truck. Cosson stated the 7.25% savings is taken off the total
cost.
Wagner stated
that the prepayment agreement had been read and reviewed by Ehlers.
Cosson stated
that there is no reason not to do it.
Cosson reviewed
the Presale Report and Capital Financing Plan.
The refinancing
of the 2002 bond issues was reviewed. The street projects and fire
apparatus would be financed.
Cosson reviewed
the savings analysis of the refinancing of the 2002 issue.
Cosson explained
the bond allocation, the breakdown of the borrowing and the
estimated rates.
Cosson then
reviewed the 2010 Capital Financing Plan. He stated that they are
trying to eliminate the peaks and valleys.
The capital
projects being financed were reviewed. This includes off-setting
revenues. The tax rate would increase to $2.74 at its peak in 2013.
Cosson reviewed
the financing approach. One option would be traditional tax exempt
borrowing. Bids would be issued on a tax exempt basis. The other
option is to utilize Build America Bonds (BABs). There is a 35% IRS
Rebate to municipalities for BABs. Cosson stated that BABs have
been the better deal. He also stated that with the BABs there would
be an approximate savings of $102,000 over 20 years.
Cosson stated
that there are a few communities that are staying away from the BABs
because they do not want to be tied to the IRS.
Cosson reviewed
the risk factors. He stated that the current rate of 35% has been
constant and doesn’t think it is going to change. Furthermore, any
reduction in the percentage allows the Village to refinance. Cosson
also stated that repayment from the IRS has been very timely ranging
from 90 days before payment to 45 days after.
Sauer asked if
there have been other BAB’s used. Cosson stated yes.
Sauer was
concerned that there is nothing in the Recovery Act to save the
35%. Cosson stated that the debt structure is protected because of
how it is written.
Wagner stated
that by going with the dual bid process, the Board can make a
decision on what direction to take and the financial savings that
may occur.
Dickmann thanked
Cosson for his presentation.

VAC-ALL SCREENS
(DPW – NON-LAPSING RESERVE FUND)
deBruijn stated
that this screen is a large 3’ x 4’ metal screen that fits on the
back of the vehicle.
deBruijn stated
that there are several options. The first is to keep the existing
screen and remove the current surface, sandblast and re-surface. He
stated that the process itself would remove a certain amount of
metal from the screen. The option would extend the life of the
screen approximately 3-4 years.
The next option
would be to replace the screens with the manufacturers at a cost of
$420 each. The next option would be a screen made by the Vac-All
dealer, SEWRE Implement, at a cost of $370 each.
Stainless steel
screens can be purchased directly from Vac-All for a significant
up-charge.
deBruijn stated
that the racks and pins to hold the screens are stainless steel and
would need to be replaced either way. deBruijn stated that the
first screen had a 10 year service life and felt the new one would
give the vehicle an additional 10 years.
Schoenfeldt
stated that the Public Works Committee reviewed the options and
recommended the vendor steel option.
Schoenfeldt/Maglio made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
approval of the Vac-All Screens to be manufactured by the Vac-All
dealer, SEWRE Implement to be paid from the DPW Non-Lapsing Reserve
Fund at a not-to-exceed amount of $2,253. Motion carried.

secured the $200 through private donations.

WATER RATE CASE
REVIEW
B. Dickmann
stated that this Finance Committee meeting is the result of
discussions held at the Utility Committee meeting on Tuesday,
February 9, 2010.
Maccoux of Schenk
Business Solutions reviewed the summary of the application to
increase water rates.
Maccoux stated
that he has been working with the Village for application to
increase water rates. The Utility Department been operating below
their rate of return and has been for several years.
Maccoux stated
that Utilities have reduced their operating expenses by
approximately $24,000 in 2009. It is unlikely that they would be
able to continue to do that moving forward.
Maccoux stated
that the Village of Saukville’s Utility currently has a debt equity
ratio of 100%. The state-wide average is 32%.
Hamann asked if
there were any projects coming up that would increase debt.
G. Dickmann
stated that the sewer and water lines on Linden St. need to be
replaced. The laterals are in bad shape and they are trying to
salvage the water line.
G. Dickmann
stated that the only other project slated for right now is four
years out. Land had been purchase for another well but can probably
be put off for five years.
Maccoux stated
that the decrease in unrestricted cash has been $100,000 annually
over the last two years. Maccoux stated that this is without any
adjustments.
Maccoux stated
that the increase needed is approximately 28% and reviewed the
reasons for the increase.
Maccoux stated
that the Village is among those communities in the state with the
second lowest water rate.
B. Dickmann
stated that this was presented to the Utility Committee. Dickmann
went on to say that two days before the Utility Committee meeting,
Trustee Bob Hamann requested that the Village look into monthly
water/sewer billing as opposed to quarterly.
B. Dickmann
stated that she was at a conference last week and spoke to a
gentleman from the Public Service Commission (PSC). He stated that
25% of communities bill monthly and all are larger than Saukville.
The communities that bill monthly general bill for electric and
other services as well.
It was also
stated that if the Village were to go to monthly billing it would be
a permanent change. The PSC would not allow the Village to return
to quarterly billing. The monthly billing would also result in a
higher fixed cost.
Maccoux stated
that the regardless of the amount of the bill the cost to process
would not change. Monthly billing would affect those that use less
water as they would incur a higher fixed rate.
Maccoux stated
that the larger industrial customers would have to disburse cash
sooner and would probably rather wait.
B. Dickmann
stated that if the Village went from quarterly to monthly the
Utility Department would have to modify there routine in addition to
the changes that would result at the administrative level.
B. Dickmann
expressed concern at the message that would be sent by hiring
additional staff after current staff at all levels received a 0%
increase for 2010.
B. Dickmann asked
Maccoux what the recommendation from Schenk would be.
Maccoux stated
that cash flow needs to increase to continue to operate the Utility
and 28% is needed and could be supported.
Maccoux stated
that, in his opinion, the Village of Saukville is somewhat small to
handle monthly billing and the additional administrative costs
associated with it. Maccoux stated that a lot of the cost may have
to be taken on by Utilities.
Schoenfeldt asked
if there had been a recent rate increase. G. Dickmann stated that
there was a 3% cost-of-living increase in water November 1, 2009.
There was a 5% raise in the sewer rates effective January 1, 2010.
Hamann stated
that he was just looking for alternatives to lessen the impact of
the increase.
Caban stated that
the rates will go up either way. Caban was concerned that we’ve
been trying to cut costs and now want to increase them.
Maglio stated
that he does not think monthly billing is appropriate based on the
additional administrative costs.
Krocka stated
that he does not like the increase either but changing to monthly
billing would make it worse.
Schoenfeldt
stated that she is OK with the 28% water rate increase but is not
comfortable with the monthly billing.
Sauer stated that
he felt the monthly billing idea was “dead on arrival” so he wasn’t
going to address that. Sauer felt that a 28% water rate increase at
one time is too much.
Hamann/Krocka
made a motion to approve the 28% water rate increase as presented.
Roll call vote was taken with Caban-nay and Sauer-nay. Motion
carried.
Krocka/Caban made
a motion to continue the water/sewer billing on a quarterly basis.
Roll call vote was taken with Hamann-nay. Motion carried.

NON-LAPSING
RESERVE FUND REQUEST – VAC-ALL BOX LINING
deBruijn stated
that the vac-all is 10 years old and the lining is beginning to peel
and delaminate. The lining is a spray-in urethane liner. The vac-all
would be sandblasted down to the metal and the new liner would be
sprayed on.
Wilhelm stated
that when the vac-all was originally purchased, the Village went
with the plastic lining instead of the steel lining as a cost
savings measure.
Wagner stated
that there is money available in the DPW Non-Lapsing Reserve Fund to
be used for the lining and this item was discussed during the 2010
Budget Tour.
Schoenfeldt
reported that the vac-all lining was discussed at the Public Works
Committee and the Committee recommended the expenditure.
Schoenfeldt/Krocka made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
approval of the replacement of the Vac-All Box Lining at a
“not-to-exceed” amount of $6,500 to be paid from the Non-Lapsing
Reserve Fund. Motion carried.
RES. #1109 – 2009
CARRYOVER FUNDS AND NON-LAPSING RESERVE FUNDS
Wagner provided
the Committee with a revised spreadsheet dated 2-2-2010 of the
amount of funds that were available for 2009 Carryover and
Non-Lapsing Reserve Funds.
Wagner stated
that Schenck recommended transferring the unused contingency funds
to the general fund so the $100,000 Fund Balance Applied would not
be used.
Wagner stated
that the audit is going very well.
Wagner stated
that the audit presentation for Utilities is scheduled for March 9th
and the general audit presentation will be March 16th at

Reserve Funds as presented with the updated spreadsheet dated
2-2-2010. Motion carried.
NATIVITY SCENE –
GRADY PARK
Wagner stated
that a decision does not need to be made tonight.
Wagner reported
that Betty Toeller attended the Pulic Works meeting and provided
information regarding the Village’s rights on displaying the
nativity scene.
Wagner reported
that she contacted the Liberty Counsel and they provided guidelines
that have to be met in order to keep a publicly sponsored nativity
scene on display in Grady Park. The display must include religious
and secular elements that are similar in significance.
Wagner stated
that the Liberty Council agreed to review the sketch that the
Village comes up with and would also back the Village in court.
Hamann stated
that he feels putting Frosty, Santa, and all that other stuff in the
park trivializes the meaning of the nativity. Hamann stated that he
would like to see the nativity moved to St. Peter’s so we don’t have
to take away from it.
Dickmann stated
that she would like the church to have it with nothing else around
it. Dickmann further stated that the Village does not have the
funds to purchase secular displays to add to the area.
Wagner shared
information regarding privately sponsored symbols.
Krocka and Caban
were both in favor of working with St. Peter’s to move the display
to their property.
Sauer stated
that, although he believes in the separation of church and state, he
didn’t care if it stayed in Grady Park. Sauer further stated “why
not take the church’s offer?”
Caban/Schoenfeldt
made a motion to direct staff to contact St. Peter’s regarding the
nativity scene and report back to the Committee. Motion carried.
2010 CAPITAL PLAN
Wagner stated
that discussion needs to be held on putting together the 2010
borrowing package.
Wagner stated
that Public Works is replacing a 2000 4 x 2 pickup truck with a new
4 x 4 truck. Wagner did state that not everything on the plan has
to be borrowed for; some items will be cash funded.
Wagner stated
that there is a strong commitment to continue with the street
projects. Wagner mentioned the replacement fire truck (pumper) for
2010 and the ambulance for 2011.
Dickmann asked if
the pumper could be purchased over a 2 year period.
Wagner stated
that she is waiting to hear whether or not the excess funds from the
Police Department borrowing could be used to offset the cost.
Wagner stated
there are no purchases slated for the Police Department for 2010.
Dickmann does not
want to change the 2010 Capital Plan. The roads need to continue to
be updated. The pumper is no longer usable.
Dickmann stressed
that she does not want to take items out of the Capital Plan just to
do STH 33.
Hamann agreed
with Dickmann.
Krocka agreed as
well, stating that the prices on all of these items will only
increase.
The remaining
Committee members agreed that all items needed to remain in the
Capital Plan.
Wagner stated
that with the borrowing, the Village would be moving forward with
refinancing the 2002 bonds.
Wagner will
inquire about paying for the pumper over 2 years.

2010 CAPITAL PLAN
The Updated 2010
Capital Plan (12/29/09) was reviewed with Mike Harrigan, Ehlers
Financial Advisor, via conference call. The updated plan has
revised numbers for the STH 33 project. With the proposed borrowing
plan, the percent of debt will go over the Village Board’s self
imposed threshold of 65% for four years. Harrigan recommended that,
if the Village Board would decide to approve the borrowing plan, a
discussion should be held with Moody’s Rating Service. The
borrowing may not impact the Village’s credit rating but the impact
would need to be discussed with them prior to approving the total
borrowing package. Bigger ticket items would have to be carved out
yet to retain a total debt capacity of 35% or more. Interest rates
are extremely low at this time. Construction project costs have
been coming in very low also.

ROOM TAX
PRESENTATIONS
River Fest – Mike
Krocka reviewed the expenses for the 2009 event. Krocka stated that
there was an excellent turnout. Estimated request is for $800.
Fireworks – Barb
Dickmann stated that, knowing what amount we have to work with, she
would put fireworks at $5,000.
4th of
July Parade – Mary K. Baumann stated that, based on expenses from
2009 and the fact that the bike judging is being eliminated, the
request is for $2,250.
Saukville Family
Fun Day (SFFD) – Stacey Frey stated that for the second year in a
row SFFD operated at a loss. The plan for 2010 is to end the event
earlier but also add a Run/Walk in the morning. Frey stated that,
depending on 2010 turnout, it may be the last year for the event.
Estimated amount allocated will be $2,000.
Fire
Dept./Pleasant Valley Auto Car Show – Dale Fischer and Phil
Vincevineus stated that the 2009 car show was a great success.
There were approximately 460 vehicles on display. They would like
to see the amount stay the same but understand if it is less.
Estimated amount allocated is $4,000.
National Night
Out (NNO) – Baumann stated that Officer Neese is requesting $1,250
for the 2010 event. A suggestion was made that donations be brought
in from other municipalities as this is a county-wide event.
Estimated allocation is $500.
9/11 Ceremony –
Dick Schoenfeldt stated that the amount spent each year has always
stayed within the amount allocated. Schoenfeldt doesn’t believe in
asking for outside donations for something that should be provided
for the citizens. Schoenfeldt requested $900. Dickmann wanted to
put it at $650 and Krocka offered $100 from River Fest to bring it
up to $750. Estimated allocation is $750.
Saukville Area
Historical Society (SAHS) – Anne Kertscher explained that the entire
amount allocated for 2009 had been spent between building
renovations and newsletter mailing. Kertscher stated that they
would like to install wood floors and lighting next year. The wood
floor alone is an estimated $4,000. D’Angelo stated that, although
the other events come and go, an investment in the SAHS would be
permanent. Kertscher stated that they would eventually like to hold
hours and provide tours. Estimated allocation is $3,000.
Live @ the
Triangle – Baumann stated that a request had been made to leave the
$1,000 as is. Dickmann stated that there are six (6) events
scheduled for 2010. Estimated allocation is $900.
Employee
Recognition Dinner – Jerry Dickmann stated that the Recognition
Committee worked to keep expenses to a minimum. Estimated
allocation is $3,000.
Christmas
Decorations – Ray deBruijn stated that he would like to “dress up”
the entrance to the municipal complex. He stated that banners would
be purchased to line the entrance and would be seasonal banners that
could be changed out appropriately. By having the different banners
the life of them would be increased. There is a five (5) season
warranty if the banners are used year-round. With changing the
banners out, the warranty and the life of the banners will
increase. The cost of the banners would be $1,955. Estimated
allocation is $1,955.
Advertising/Marketing – Dickmann stated that the money allocated for
2009 was not used. Dickmann did not want to eliminate this amount
in the event there is potential development for 2010. Estimated
allocation is $900.
Village
Newsletter – Baumann stated that the cost of the current
distribution of the newsletter “is what it is”. Baumann stated that
postage and printing costs will not go down. The newsletter is
currently mailed out twice a year and provided electronically for
the third issue. In an effort to cut costs it was suggested to go
all electronic. Trustee Sauer was concerned because he felt there
were enough people who still read the hard copy. It was recommended
to have an annual mailing and the other two editions would be
electronic. This would result in a $1,500 cost savings. Estimated
allocation is $1,500.
Signage –
Dickmann asked deBruijn what the plans were for signage in 2010.
deBruijn stated that, although there are signs that could be
updated, it is not something that has to be done. No money was
allocated for signage for 2010.
Brian Peschel
(resident) stated that he would like to see less money go towards
SAHS and put some money into the Farmers’ Market. Dickmann stated
that money had already been allocated for the Farmers’ Market
through 2010.
Adjustments were
made and the following money was allocated.
Ozaukee County Tourism Council $ 100

OTHER MATTERS
Wagner informed the Board that Trustee
Sauer had checked out interest rates and found that at this time the
Village is doing the best it can regarding interest rates. The
Village will continue to utilize the CDAR options, do short-term
investing, and take advantage of special rates at various insured
banks.
Trustee Sauer found a typographical error
in the 2010 Water Utility Budget. An entry should have been $2,100
and was entered as $21,000. This will reduce the Water Utility
Budget by $18,900. An amended budget will be on the November 3rd
Village Board agenda.
The Public Hearing for the 2010 Budget
will be held on November 24th. The November 17th
Finance and Village Board meetings will be rescheduled to November

CCP has a Fire Drill scheduled for October
31st.
2010 CAPITAL BORROWING
Mike Harrigan, Ehlers and Associates,
Inc., reviewed a draft Capital Finance Plan for 2010-2013. The STH
33 project will have a significant impact on the Village’s borrowing
capacity. In order to retain the Village of Saukville’s Moody’s
Bond A2 rating, the debt service capacity can not go over 2.75% to
3.25% for any length of time. With the amount that needs to be
borrowed for the STH 33 project the Village will go over that amount
for a number of years. The Village established criteria several
years ago that it would not exceed 65% of debt capacity. This
borrowing of approximately $4 million dollars for STH 33 would put
the Village over 65% to almost 84% in the year 2011. Mike Harrigan
advised the Village against borrowing for this project. The project
would leave the Village with little or no borrowing capacity to
address emergencies or other municipal capital projects. He
questioned if there were caps on the utility and other costs
established in the original agreement. He was informed that the
project agreement was signed in 1999 and that no caps were
established in the agreement. Mike Harrigan stated that this is a
different world, a completely different economic environment, from
ten years ago; the Village is faced with an economic environment of
declining equalized valuation, limited or no development and large
increases in the project cost.
Barb Dickmann left the meeting at 6:45
p.m.
Mike Harrigan left the meeting at 6:50
p.m.
2010 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Wagner reviewed the changes discussed at
the October 19th Budget Workshop. The final statement of
valuation for the Village of Saukville still has not been received
from the State and an estimate from Accurate Appraisal is still
being used. The proposed budget will have a 31¢ decrease in the
mill rate which will be $5.97/$1,000 of valuation for the Village of
Saukville portion. A house assessed at $200,000 will experience a
$62.00 tax decrease and a house assessed at $250,000 will have a
$77.50 decrease in property taxes.
Krocka/Maglio made a motion to set the Public Hearing for November
24th at 7:45 p.m. Motion carried.
There was some discussion on the Capital
Borrowing. Wagner advised that it will be on hold until more
information is known about the STH 33 project. A short term note
could be taken out for the fire truck purchase if STH 33 is not
resolved in a timely manner.

2010 BUDGET
DISCUSSION
Wagner reviewed
the changes made at the October 12th workshop.
The Capital
Budget was reviewed. There was much discussion on the Pick-Up Truck
request for DPW. The money will be earmarked in the 2010 and 2011
budget for this vehicle. The vehicle will be purchased in 2011.
The pickup truck purchase will go back to the Public Works Committee
for review. The 3” hose was added back into the Fire Department
budget.
Revenues were
discussed. Wagner informed Sauer that there are limitations per
State Statute as to the type of investments the Village can
participate in. He will investigate and come back next week with
different possibilities.
The Operating
Budget was reviewed. Wagner had spoken to the Department of Revenue
and the Hydrant Rental (Public Fire Protection) can be taken out of
the Fire Department Operating Budget and the Village will still meet
the State’s “Maintenance of Effort” requirements. Assessed Value
was discussed. The Village’s Assessors, Accurate Appraisal, has
estimated the Village’s Assessed Valuation for 2009, so an estimated
tax rate can be determined at this time. Final numbers should be in
from the State of Wisconsin next week. The Community Development
Director’s position will be adjusted to a 30 hour/week salaried
management position effective January 1, 2010 with no change to
health insurance and other benefits.
The Village’s
Financial Advisor, Mike Harrigan, Ehlers, will be present at the

Hearing will be November 24th at 7:45 p.m.

proposed budget with all requests included. She informed the
Committee that the Village is bound by the State imposed Levy Limit
of 3% not the Village’s net new construction figure of (1.17%).
Last year’s levy limit was 2.65%.
Wagner noted that she spoke to the
Department of Revenue and received the estimated ERP figure of 3.6%
as it relates to the operating budget.
Wagner also noted that the revenues have
decreased significantly. The largest areas of decrease are State
Shared Revenues, Building Permits and Interest Earnings.
Dave Maccoux, Schenck Solutions, called in
to discuss the impact of fire protection fees (hydrant rental) on
the tax levy. He discussed different methodologies municipalities
are using.
The consensus of the Committee was to put
100% of the fire protection fee on the water bill, as a quarterly
charge. The utility users will be paying a fee for the service,
similar to the garbage and recycling fees.
Several items were removed from the
capital budget.
Dan Sauer had questions on investment
earnings. Different investment areas will possibly be looked into.

Maccoux reviewed
the Audit Standards and the Internal Controls.

that the 2008 Audit went very well.
The General Fund
decreased during 2008 due to increased costs in Public Works. The
Village’s undesignated fund balance represented approximately 27% of
the total 2008 budget general fund expenditures.
Maccoux stated
that municipalities generally should maintain an undesignated
general fund balance of 20-30% of its annual general fund operating
expenditure budget.
Wagner stated
that, as discussed, the fund balance should not be used for any
special projects this year. Wagner stated using the funds for
special projects would not be fiscally responsible.

the Water/Sewer Utility Audit stating that both had a slightly worse
year due to the decline in usage by industrial customers.

the Village needed to change anything. Maccoux stated “No”.
Maccoux did not see any problem areas.
Wagner stated
that the auditors reviewed the direct purchasing for the Police
Department project and there were no concerns as it relates to
internal checks and balances.
PARK IMPACT FEE
ANALYSIS – DRAFT
John Cameron of
Ruekert & Mielke provided an overview of the draft for the Park
Impact Fee Analysis.

that the information provided was based on State Statutes.
Table 1:
Inventory of park land
Table 2:
Facilities at the parks and park impact fee on residential only
Table 3:
Population data (1973-2008)
Table 4:
Population projections through 2025 – increase up to 7,735
Wagner stated
that the numbers correlate with the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. Wagner
also stated that the numbers could be re-evaluated if growth doesn’t
take place.
Table 5: Capital
Improvement Plan
Park Impact Fees
can only be used on new capital
Included is a
list of in-eligible impact fees
Unused money is
subject to refunds
Table 6: List of
potential facilities to be added
Table 7:
Deficiency growth analysis
Table 8: Costs
for CIP – divided between deficiency and growth
Table 9:
Analysis on what the “per residence” fee would be. Park Impact Fee
driven by capital improvement
Table 10: Impact
on housing affordability
Cameron stated
that if the Village decided to move forward with the impact fees the
Impact Fee Ordinance would have to be amended and a Class 1 Notice
for Public Hearing would have to be done 10 days before the hearing.
Sauer asked what
happens if the Village does not hit the population target. Cameron
stated that the impact fee would have to be adjusted.
Wagner stated
that some communities keep the impact fee lower as a development
incentive.
Sauer asked where
the population numbers come from.
Wagner stated the
numbers were decided through a detailed analysis working with SEWRPC
and Ozaukee County Planning and previous population trend data.
This analysis was completed prior to current economic conditions.
Dickmann stated
that the numbers came from county projections.
Cameron stated
that as the population grows the deficiency growth percentage
changes.
Wagner asked the
Committee how they wanted to proceed.
Wagner stated
that the Village could look at the other impact fees at the
beginning of next year.
Sauer stated that
he is against the park impact fees and feels the whole
implementation should be delayed. Sauer feels that the additional
charges would be a deterrent.
Cameron stated
that the Village is substantially lower than other communities on
impact fees.
Cameron stated
that higher growth areas tend to have higher impact fees.
Hamann asked what
we would be approving at this point. Wagner stated that we would
decide whether or not to move forward with the implementation of
impact fees and set a public hearing.
Dickmann
suggested moving forward with the impact fees.
Dickmann asked
how often the fees would be reviewed. Cameron stated every 3-5
years.
Wagner stated
that, in light of the economy, should the other impact fees be
reviewed early next year? Cameron stated “Yes”.
Wagner stated
that a holistic review would be necessary.
Wagner stated
that one option would be to table this item and not take action
right now.
Krocka didn’t
think the impact fee would deter someone from building in the
Village. Bartoszewski agreed.
Dickmann stated
that she would like to wait until July and see the direction of the
economy.
Schoenfeldt
stated that she is ok with waiting until July but this will need to
be done eventually.
Hamann did not
think anything would be lost by waiting.
Bartoszewski
stated that he is OK with waiting but also doesn’t think that $700
would make or break a build.
Committee decided
that the impact fees would be revisited in July.
OTHER MATTERS
Dickmann asked
current Committee members to confirm with her that they would like
to keep their current committee assignments.
Dickmann received
information regarding the 2010 Census. The state is requesting that
the Village create a Complete Count Committee to help with the
implementation of the 2010 census.
Committee decided
that the form for the Complete Count Committee would be returned
with Dawn Wagner as the contact.
Wagner reported
that the new custodian has started.
Wagner stated
that the Saukville American Legion will be honoring Gilly Schultz as
the “Outstanding Firefighter of the Year”. They will also be
honoring Rob Meyer at the “Outstanding Police Officer of the Year”.
Both will be honored at the Legion’s April 20th meeting.
Wagner stated

Design

6 weeks after the contract is awarded. The plan provides for 12
foot lanes for heavy truck traffic, multiuse paths for bicycles,
access to existing developments, and a five lane “twittle”
(dedicated two way turn lane) to serve the Village Hall/Conservancy
Court entrances. There will be Community Sensitive Design monies
available that could be applied to items such as landscaping and
exposed aggregate concrete in the islands. The plan is to keep Hwy.
33 traffic moving throughout the duration of the project but there
may be temporary closures of the side streets at times. Monthly
meetings will be held as the project design goes to completion.

AIR QUALITY
TESTING
Wagner stated
that she was approached by the School District requesting cost
sharing by the Village for the air quality testing that would be
performed. Wagner stated that the first round would be
approximately $3,000.
Wagner stated
that she spoke with Mike Weber and he estimated the total cost to be
between $4,000 and $6,000. The exterior testing is estimated to be
between one quarter and one half of the cost.
Dickmann feels
that if the Village does this it would open us up to further
requests. Dickmann stated that, although the children and the
school are very important the Village should only help pay for
exterior testing.
Schantz stated
that we should not get involved now but definitely be involved if
the tests come back positive. He does not feel that we should pay
for initial testing.

no opinion either way.

stated that the children are important but do we want to open that
door. She felt the Village should hold off.

it is the Village’s responsibility.

with Sauer.
All Committee
members agreed that we don’t have the resources.

Dickmann stated
that the Village would make no representation either way.
OTHER MATTERS

Wilhelm stated
that the DOT wants to reduce the travel lanes to 11 feet with the
addition of the bike accommodation lane.
Dickmann and the
rest of the Committee agreed that the travel lanes should remain at
12 feet due to the amount of truck traffic on STH 33.
Wilhelm asked if
the Village still wants to have all lines buried when the road work
is done. Committee members agreed that they should be buried.
Dickmann agreed
with the rendering of grass, decorative aggregate and the décor for
the roundabouts.
Wagner stated
that this will be an agenda item for the next Finance Committee
meeting.

CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) – PARK IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS
Steve Brunner of
Ruekert & Mielke gave an overview of the intent of the Plan.
Brunner reported
on the planned improvements for the various parks. Brunner stated
that the Village’s Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan needed to
be updated to be eligible for various grants.
Wagner stated
that the items listed are improvements that the Village would like
to make but the funds are not available at this time.
Wagner stated
that it is important to decide how the parks - CIP ties into the
overall Village Capital Improvement Plan.
Dickmann asked
Board members how they felt about how the projects were distributed.
Hamann referenced
Peninsula Park in 2009/2010. Hamann stated that he realizes the
ability for grants but what if the Village doesn’t qualify. He
doesn’t feel the Village should have to foot the bill for those
improvements.
Wagner stated
that this section could be carved out of the Plan. Nothing is set
in stone.
Schoenfeldt
stated that she feels the same way. Peninsula Park should be
separated and not be part of parks - CIP.
Dickmann asked
the rest of the Board for their opinion on Peninsula Park. It was
unanimous to take Peninsula Park improvements out of the equation at
this time.
Dickmann
suggested that the Board address one park at a time.
East Riverside
Park
Schoenfeldt felt
that it would be appropriate to remove the kiosks, benches, and
canoe launches from the Plan as they could be offered as Eagle Scout
Projects in the future.
Schoenfeldt noted
the amount slotted for 2010 for paving. It was noted that this was
planned for better pricing.
Wagner stated
that the Board needs to look at what will benefit the Village
residents the most.
Dickmann recapped
stating that the kiosks, benches, and canoe launches would be
removed from the Plan. The remaining items stayed the same.
West Riverside
Park
Hamann questioned
the demolition of the old pump house at a cost of $30,000.
Brunner stated
that it was no longer needed and it contributed to the space issues
in the parking lot.
Hamann questioned
whether we should spend that amount of money to create four parking
spaces.
Dickmann
recommended moving it out to 2011. The Committee agreed.
Grady Park
Dickmann
suggested removing the lighting for the batting cage. Hamann
suggested leaving it in since it is not scheduled until 2011.
Wagner and
Brunner stated that it is better to remove items and add them back
in later.
Schoenfeldt
stated that she felt the storage facility for $40,000 is necessary
and should be kept in the Plan.
Schoenfeldt
recommended moving the tennis court renovations to 2010 and the
basketball court renovations to 2011.
Sauer questioned
the replacement of the appliances in the concession building.
Wagner stated they are very dated and it is necessary.
Quade Park
Brunner explained
the splash pad. He stated it is a water feature that is popular at
parks where there is not a local swimming pool.
Dickmann
expressed safety concerns. Wagner stated it is a safe surface and
the risk would be no different then at any other park. She noted
that several communities have installed splash pads and they are
much more economical than maintaining a swimming pool.
Schowalter
Park
Hamann questioned
the drilling of the well and the permanent restroom.
Schoenfeldt
stated that, as with the other parks, the bat houses should be taken
off the Plan and offered a possible Eagle Scout project.
Schoenfeldt felt
that the paving of the parking lot is necessary.
Veterans Park
Krocka questioned
whether or not we really needed a clock tower. Krocka recommended
removing it from the Plan. The Committee agreed.
Schoenfeldt
recommended keeping the water feature in 2013.
Wagner stated
that the band shell needs additional structural updates but we must
keep in mind that we can not make too many changes due to the
historic nature of the structure.
Friendship
Park
Schoenfeldt
stated that she feels this park has the greatest need for
improvements. It is a growing area with many your families. The
park is also slated for a splash pad.
Schoenfeldt
recommended keeping everything except the kiosks and gazebo which
could be future Eagle Scout projects.
UW Milwaukee
Conservancy
Dickmann stated
that this item would be removed from the Plan.
OTHER MATTERS
Hamann stated
that the Mid-Moraine Legislative Committee will be meeting the
second Wednesday of each month. For the next three months, each
meeting will feature one of the three candidates for Municipal Court
Judge.
Dickmann stated
that the State of the Village address will be on Wednesday, January
28th at the Bog.
Wagner stated
that the Utility Department got quotes for a ¾ ton pick-up and
purchased one from Schmidt Bros. in Saukville.
Wagner stated
that the Ozaukee County Board will be meeting on Wednesday, January
21, 2009 for an informational session. Topics to be discussed will
be the flooding in Ozaukee County, the progress on the Public Health
Disaster Planning, and the Regional Water Supply Study Results.
Wagner reported
that she and Linda Pierschalla will be meeting with Mark Grams, Port
Washington City Administrator, and Dave Nimmer, Library Director –
Niederkorn Library, Port Washington to complete an ICMA Public
Innovations Grant Application.
Wagner stated
that Charter Manufacturing’s objection to their Statement of
Valuation has been withdrawn.
Wagner reviewed a
letter from Charter Steel and referenced the USA Today and Ozaukee
Press articles regarding Saukville and the potential high level of
toxins in the air.
Wagner stated
that the Village is being proactive in working with Charter Steel
and CCP.
Wagner stated
that she had a conversation with Dr. Weber from the school
district. Their consultants reviewed the information and did not
feel there was any danger inside the elementary school. Additional
testing will be done inside and outside the school.
Wagner asked the
Committee if they wanted to do anything at this point or wait until
the test results from the school have been received.
Hamann stated
that he felt we should wait until the testing is complete.
Schoenfeldt
thought the Village should be pro-active and get together ahead of
time and educate.
Bartoszewski
agreed with Schoenfeldt.
Sauer, Krocka,
and Dickmann all agreed that the Village should wait for the test
results from the school.
Wagner stated
that she will wait for the information from the school and report
back to the Committee.

ROOM TAX
PRESENTATIONS
4th
of July Parade
Rick Schulz
stated that the Committee would like to pursue the idea of inviting
local high school bands to perform in the parade instead of the drum
& bugle corps that we’ve had in the past.
Schulz requested
$3,400 which is the same amount as last year.
4th
of July Fireworks
Dickmann stated
that she and Mary Kay sent out a joint letter this past year for
donations for the fireworks and the parade. In the end there were
enough donations to cover both events.
Dickmann stated
that she would like to see the amount for fireworks stay at $6,800
and hopes that Charter Steel continues to support the fireworks as
they have in the past.
Saukville
Family Fun Day
Russ Lund stated
that this was his first year being involved with Family Fun Day and
was very impressed the way everything came together. Lund stated
that, due to the weather, the turn out was not anywhere near what
they would have liked.
Lund has
requested $3,000 for the 2009 Family Fun Day with hopes of better
weather.
Saukville Fire
Department Car Show
Dale Fischer and
Phil Vincevineous spoke on behalf of the Car Show Committee. They
stated that there were only 80+ cars at the show this year and three
motorcycles due to the weather.
Fischer stated
that they were allowed $5,000 in 2008 and are requesting the same
amount for 2009 also with hopes of better weather.
9/11 Memorial
Ceremony
Dick Schoenfeldt
stated that $850 was spent in 2008. They have worked in conjunction
with the American Legion, but there has been a change in leadership
this year so he didn’t know where that would take things.
Schoenfeldt has
requested $1,000 for the 2009 9/11 Memorial Ceremony.
Saukville Area
Historical Society (SAHS)
Anne Kertscher
and Donna D’Angelo spoke on behalf of the SAHS.
Dickmann advised
them that the funds not used in 2008 would not roll over and so are
lost to the SAHS because they were not used.
The money that
was supposed to be used in 2008 was not used due to the fact that
they were not able to get their Historic Register designation due to
the change of the front door. They would still be able to get the
Historical Structures Report but all that would do is say the
building was wrong.
Kertscher stated
that the SAHS will not be able to be eligible for the Register
unless the doors are restored to their original look.
Ketscher stated
that the SAHS has reviewed ideas for 2009 fundraising. Ketscher
stated: “We are in need of financial and physical support.”
Kertscher stated
that they would like to organize a Fireman’s Ball. Kertscher
requested $8,000 to be used for this event.
Baumann stated
that, in keeping in line with not adding to what was appropriated
last year, the SAHS should start with no more than the $5,000 that
was allotted in 2008.
The preliminary
request for the SAHS was $5,000.
Live @ the
Triangle (Music Event)
Dickmann stated
that the Village is working in conjunction with Harris Bank to
organize four music events and one movie in Veterans Park for 2009.
Dickmann stated
that $1,000 has been allotted for these events.
Recognition
Dinner
Linda Pierschalla
stated that the Recognition Committee has met and determined that
estimated costs for the event would be $4,300.
Pierschalla has
requested $4,300 for the Recognition Dinner.
Christmas
Decorations
Ray deBruijn
stated that the amount that he is requesting will include a lighted
tree on the front of the Firehouse, a few additional street
decorations, and replacements for some of the older decorations on
South Main Street and near EVS and Wal-Mart.
deBruijn stated
that the old decorations could be sold on-line.
The cost to cover
all of the above would be $4,781.40. deBruijn stated that would
cover everything. If it needed to be less, he could do the
replacement and wait on the Firehouse.
Advertising/Marketing
Dickmann stated
that a set amount of $3,000 was being included for advertising and
marketing for the Village.
Village
Newsletter
Dickmann stated
that, to save costs, the Village could consider going to two
newsletters a year.
A suggestion was
made to possibly still do three newsletters and only mail out two.
The third one would be available on the Village web-site.
The current cost
for three newsletters is $4,700.
Community
Signage
Dickmann stated
that the Village was approached by the YMCA to do a message board
for the YMCA building. This sign board would have the Village’s
logo on it as well as the YMCA’s. Dickmann stated that this would
be a one-time expense of $500 and that Village events/meetings would
be the priority listings.
Mitchell
Lemons – Eagle Scout Project
Mitchell Lemon’s
Eagle Scout Project included renovating the park area south of the
WWTP. Lemons stated that he has raised over $800 towards the cost,
but an additional $1,200 is still needed for the signage. Lemons
stated that this will be a sign in line with all of the other
Village signs.
Lemons
respectfully requested $1,200 to cover the remaining cost of the new
park sign.
The total amount
of the requests exceeded what the anticipated amount available for
2009 would be. Discussion was held and amounts were adjusted.
Krocka/Sauer made
a motion to recommend to the Village Board approving Room Tax
requests totaling $48,332. Motion carried.
LIABILITY AND
WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Lee reviewed the
insurance information. She recommended that the Village remain with
EMC Insurance.
Hamann/Krocka
made a motion to recommend to the Village Board approval of EMC
Insurance as the Village’s carrier for Liability and Worker’s
Compensation Insurance. Motion carried.
EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR’S COMPENSATION
Dickmann stated
that Jack Morrison gets an annual stipend based on 80 hours of
service per year. This year, with the flooding, Morrison logged
over 200 hours on the flood alone. Because of Morrison’s efforts
along with Village staff, the Village has received all reimbursable
funds from FEMA.
Dickmann
recommended additional compensation of $1,000 for Jack Morrison,
Emergency Management Director.
Krocka/Sauer made
a motion to recommend to the Village Board approval of the $1,000
compensation for Jack Morrison, Emergency Management Director.
Motion carried.

the Committee that they need to do their homework on the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP). Dickmann directed the Committee to review
the information and highlight the most important. At the next
Finance meeting we will line up the priorities and review same.

on the money that has been received from FEMA from the spring
flooding.

management staff and especially Jack Morrison for their work during
the spring flooding.

monitored carefully by staff. The Local Government Investment Pool
is being watched also. Much of 2008 Capital Borrowing is being
spent on the new Police Department. The facility roof was delivered

Review a
recommendation from the Plan Commission to review the summary cost
analysis and chronology of pre-development activity by Midwest
Expansion LLP regarding their interest in acquiring and developing
the parcel located in Foster Commons Mixed Use Planned Development
District No 1 at 700 East Green Bay Avenue and their request for
assistance from the Village to acquire the land necessary for the
anticipated extension of North Foster Drive, a public road.
Brian Biernat,
Community Development Director, narrated a chronology of events from
the Village’s perspective regarding the redevelopment of Tom Beck’s
original Amoco gas station at 660 East Green Bay Avenue into the
Exxon/McDonald’s operation today and discussed the efforts
undertaken by the Village supporting Beck to secure a full,
signalized intersection at Foster Dr and Highway 33 including the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation requirement that the
development at 700 East Green Bay would require the Beck’s driveway
entrance to be replaced with a full cross-section extension of
Foster Drive north of the intersection of length sufficient to
accommodate traffic. Documentation submitted by Midwest Expansion
demonstrated a good faith effort to extend this necessary and
required public road access to their proposed site at their cost and
negotiate for Beck’s cooperation, but have had no success to date.
Earlier this fall, staff received a phone call from Beck’s Attorney
indicating that Beck now has no intention of cooperating with land
conveyance under the road reservation affecting his property,
identifying the area needed for right of way dedication for this
necessary extension of the public way. Hamann/Bartoszewski made a
motion to authorize staff to enter into direct negotiations with
Beck regarding securing dedication of the necessary land for right
of way identified by the road reservation of record up to and
including a possible public taking. All members voted aye. Motion
carried.

2009 BUDGET DISCUSSION
Administrator Wagner presented the
information that the Board had requested. The State of Wisconsin
Assessed Valuation for the Village came in at $414,222,100. This is
a 1.7% increase over last year. The assessment ratio is .95745.
Because of this value and with everything left as is from the last
budget meeting, the tax rate will go down 16¢/$1,000. With the fee
for garbage and recycling service at $144 ($12 per month) per single
household being placed on the tax roll, this decrease will be more
beneficial for taxpayers.
Mike Harrigan from Ehlers suggested that
the Village use all of its levy limit capacity which allows for an
additional $31,669 to be levied, based on the formula. With this
amount, the balance of the pagers could be put into the 2009 budget
and/or more money could be put into street repairs instead of
borrowing for them. With this increase in the budget, there would
be an 8¢/$1,000 decrease in the tax rate.
Administrator Wagner also informed the
Board that Charter Manufacturing has filed an appeal with the State
on its value. This could negatively impact the Village’s assessed
value and could have a large impact on the tax rate depending on the
outcome of the appeal.
The consensus of the Board was to leave
the budget as is. Too many people are losing jobs and the tax rate
should be as low as possible.
Krocka/Hamann made a motion to set the Public Hearing for the 2008
Budget for November 25, 2008 at 7:45 p.m. and set a tax rate of
$6.28/$1,000. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
OTHER MATTERS
Wagner informed the Board that Zimmerman
had a changing of the guard and that Marty Vanhoof has replaced Ron
Janiuk as project manager for the Police Department Project.

FOR JULY 2008 IN THE AMOUNT OF $557,853.79
Schoenfeldt/Krocka made a motion to approve the claims for July 2008
in the amount of $557,853.79 as presented. Motion carried.
BUDGE WATCH
Wagner stated

INVESTMENT REPORT
Lee stated that
interest rates were disappointing but everything else was stable.
PUBLIC FIRE
PROTECTION CHARGES (HYDRANT RENTAL CHARGE)
Dickmann stated
that this is an effort to educate the Board on the ways that other
communities handle budgeting.
Wagner
distributed the results of the staff survey of neighboring
communities in Ozaukee and Washington Counties.
Dave Maccoux
explained that the intent of the PFP charge is to recover costs
related to water system capacity that is necessary for fire
protection purposes. In 1988 the State of Wisconsin passed
legislation which allowed these charges to be recovered either
through a property tax levy, a direct customer charge which would be
included on a customer bill, or a combination of the two methods.
Maccoux explained
that with the hydrant charge as part of the taxes, it would count
against the municipal levy limit. Public fire protection counts
towards levy limits.
Maccoux stated
that switching the hydrant charge to a direct charge would remove
the amount from the levy limit, but would result in a higher
customer water bill.
Maccoux stated
that some municipalities have done a combination of the two. This
would have similar advantages and disadvantages.
Maccoux stated
that there are eight (8) options available. He stated that the
majority of the communities charge based on the meter size.
Wagner provided
an estimated rate structure. Estimates indicate that for a
residential ¾” meter it would be a $28.00 charge per quarter.
Sauer asked if we
had an idea of estimated increases. Wagner stated that any increase
would be minimal at this time due to a limited amount of new
construction.
Hamann asked why
legislature allows this item to be put on the water bill instead of
keeping it on the tax roll. Maccoux stated that municipalities
wanted options on how to handle charges.
Wagner stated
again that this information is being provided to educate the Board
in making future decisions as it relates to the 2009 General Fund
Budget.
ANSAY DEVELOPMENT
CORP. – PAYMENT AGREEMENT
Wagner stated
that this agreement was developed to clarify how costs will be
paid. Wagner explained the tiered system of how Ansay would pay
based on the TID #4 Development Agreement.
Krocka/Bartoszewski made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
approval of the Ansay Development Corp. – Payment Agreement. Motion
carried.

the Village is facing over a 60% increase.
Wagner asked Dennis Fechter, of Veolia, if
the Village could have the swap out option like Grafton (96 gallon
to 65 gallon carts).
Fechter stated yes, but requested that we
limit the swap out period to first three (3) months.
Fechter noted that there is no difference
in the cost of the carts.
Sauer asked how Veolia deals with the
elderly and disabled residents that need some assistance with the
carts.
Fechter explained that under special

that there are none in Jackson, Slinger, or Beaver Dam and only two
(2) in Port Washington.
Hamann/Bartoszewski made a motion to recommend to the Village Board

PRE-ANNEXATION
AGREEMENT – PORT WASHINGTON STATE BANK

be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Wagner stated
that the cost the Village will have to pay to the Town of Port
Washington will be $4,991.10 total for the five (5) years.
Wagner stated
that this annexation is compatible with the Village Land Use Plan
and long-term growth strategy.
Dickmann
recommended not having a Pre-Annexation Agreement for Port
Washington State Bank.
Hamann stated

to pay out to a township.

policies, and a draft policy.

TRASH AND
RECYCLING PROPOSALS
Wagner stated
that Wilhelm has spent many hours compiling data regarding options
for the trash and recycling contract.
Wilhelm stated
that Grafton, Port Washington, and Saukville all did trash and
recycling RFP’s at the same time to possibly provide better pricing.
Wilhelm stated
that there are three options:
·
Collection would remain status-quo.
·
Carts for trash and recycling.
·
Carts with weekly trash pick-up and bi-weekly recycle pick-up.
Wilhelm reviewed
the options. He stated that with high fuel costs and an overall
increase we are looking at a 50% increase for 2009.
Wilhelm stated
that Waste Management would impose a weekly fuel surcharge whereas
Veolia would do four (4) adjustments per year.
Wilhelm stated
that staying status-quo would be the most expensive option.
Wagner asked Mark
Jaeger what Port Washington was planning on doing. Jaeger stated
that Port Washington is planning on staying status-quo.
Wagner stated
that if we move forward it will be extremely difficult to meet
expenditure restraint requirements. The Village may want to
consider implementing a user fee.
Schoenfeldt asked
if other communities impose a user fee. Wagner stated yes.
Dickmann
recommended moving forward with option 3. This option would be with
Veolia having weekly trash pick-up and bi-weekly recycling with
carts. The cost would be $192,877.75.
Dickmann stated
that discussion would need to be held regarding a user fee.
Wilhelm stated
that if a user fee was developed, the condos and multi-family
buildings could buy into it.
Schoenfeldt/Hamann made a motion to recommend to the Village Board
to table the trash and recycling proposals for more discussion.
This item will be on the August 5, 2008 agenda. Motion carried.
FLOOD
REIMBURSEMENTS

Wagner stated
that residents will not receive a bill for sand or sandbags.
Morrison stated
that he and Dawn Wagner will be meeting with FEMA representatives
along with other communities from Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha
Counties.

that flood costs have reached about $70,000. Morrison stated that
approximately 70% of the cost was labor with the rest being
equipment and materials.
Morrison stated
that the Village does not get 100% reimbursement from FEMA. The
Village is responsible for 12.5% of the cost.
Wagner stated
that Morrison has done an excellent job compiling information that
will be presented to FEMA.
Wagner stated
that the Village is very fortunate to have a company like Port
Washington State Bank that cares about the community.
Dickmann read a
thank you letter from a resident regarding all the hard work done
during the flood.
OTHER MATTERS
Wagner suggested
that the Committee check out the web-site for public access on the
GIS system.
Committee
recommended changing the “OK” button to “I Accept”. Committee would
also like the option to search by name removed. Wagner will direct
Ruekert and Mielke to make those changes.

GIS PRESENTATION
– RUEKERT & MIELKE
Thomas Tym of
Ruekert & Mielke gave a presentation regarding the updates to the
GIS system and what is available.
Tym reviewed the
property assessment data as well as the ability to do a parcel
buffer mailing for legal notices.
Tym reviewed the
areas of the program that are currently only accessible to Village
staff.
Tym stated that
the utilities are very accurate. The surveying was done using GPS
technology. Tym noted that water main breaks can be located through
the GIS application.
Tym stated that
the cemetery data was recently added. New public works tools were
also added including a street sign inventory and street tree
inventory.
Wagner felt that
it would be beneficial to have the zoning map available to the
public.
Wagner stated
that as of five years ago developers were required to submit
property information in GIS format.
Dickmann asked
Tym what he thought we should offer for public access.
Tym stated that
zoning is probably the #1 component that should be available. The
other areas that would be beneficial are aerial photos, ownership
(but not be able to search by name), cemetery, voting wards, and
FEMA floodplain information with a disclaimer.
Dickmann stated
that no decisions needed to be made tonight if Board members wanted
to review further.
Hamann stated
that he would like to see the disclaimer require “I Accept”
instead of “OK”.
The Board agreed
that Ruekert & Mielke should make the necessary changes to make this
information available to the public.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
MOBILE RECORDS SYSTEM (DCS NETLINK)
Wagner stated
that we have the option to go mobile. This is the other component
of the Police Department IT infrastructure that is currently being
developed.
Wagner stated
that the cost of the Mobile Application System is coming in as
expected at $31,761.00. Wagner stated that this program would
interface with the DOT and municipal court.
Wagner stated
that the Police Department would like to move forward with the
TRACKS System. Wagner stated that the funds are available to do
this.
Goetz gave an
overview of how the current system works. The TRACKS System would
offer a huge time savings for the Police Department, especially the
amount of time by staff for entering information. Goetz stated that
with this system, citations and warrants would be virtually
paperless. Goetz stated that this would also save dictation time
and keep the officers in their cars.
Goetz then
explained how the TRACKS System would work.
Schoenfeldt asked
what other communities used the TRACKS System. Goetz stated that it
is currently being used by Altoona, Stevens Point, and Oconomowoc.
Port Washington is planning on switching to the TRACKS System soon.
Wagner stated
that although the money is available to convert to this program, the
Board needs to be aware that there is an annual cost of $8,500 to
maintain the system.
Krocka/Schoenfeldt made a motion to authorize staff to move forward
on the TRACKS System and additional information will be provided at
the July 15th Finance meeting. Motion carried.

PRE-ANNEXATION
AGREEMENT – MGA INVESTMENTS, INC.
Wagner stated
that the Board agreed to visit pre-annexation agreements on a
case-by-case basis when new parcels are being annexed into the
Village. If an agreement is approved, the Village would require the
party requesting the annexation pay to the Village the amount of
taxes due to the previous taxing jurisdiction.
Wagner stated
that the current proposed annexation would mean a payment over the
next five years of $2,423 back to the Town of Port Washington.
Wagner provided
the pros and cons for a pre-annexation agreement. Wagner stated
that the recommendation from staff was to move forward without the
agreement.
Hamann stated
that he is willing to move forward without the agreement as long as
we continue to handle the annexations on a case-by-case basis.
Hamann/Krocka
made motion to recommend to the Village Board moving forward with
the MGA Investments, Inc. annexation without the pre-annexation
agreement and all future annexations will be handled on a

needed. In addition, not all of our radios qualify for the
exchange. deBruijn stated that the radios from the County are four
(4) years old. They will be refurbished radios but are the old
brick style.

that Watertown has 12 radios for sale. Watertown has agreed to hold
the radios until a decision is made and will let the Village pick
the 6 best radios.

mic clip. The cost of the radios is $500 each and $100 per radio

a reader card system at a local station. deBruijn stated that if we
do update the current system all of the hardware in place would be
able to be used.
Wagner stated
that the Contingency Fund would need to be used for these repairs
because the fuel system is something that is used by all Village
Departments. Wagner stated that $5,605 had already been earmarked,
from the Contingency Fund for fuel tank repairs. The cost to repair
the anodes is $5,005. A complete update to the current fuel system
