January - City of Delafield
January 2016 www.cityofdelafield.com Communicator CITY OF DELAFIELD Dear Citizens, Every Fall, your City staff and elected officials work for several months crafting the City budget for the upcoming year. The tasks of maintaining and improving our services while working within the constraints of levy limits and shrinking State support present new and sometimes difficult challenges. I am pleased to inform you that we were able to approve another reasonable budget with a modest increase in the City mill rate of less than a penny. Many of you saw your total tax bill decrease. For residents in the Kettle Moraine School District, the increase in the overall tax bill was primarily due to the school district referendum that was approved in 2014 for improved facilities. City Administrator Tom Hafner, Finance Officer/Treasurer Marie Williams and all of the Department Heads did an outstanding job developing and presenting their proposed budgets. Water quality issues will be an important part of our work this coming year. We approved funding for an updated Lake Management Plan and inventory to be performed by the Lake Welfare Committee and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). Funding was approved for the grant application, engineering and permitting related to a proposed Bark River streambank stabilization project. I have convened a Bark River Watershed Management Group that includes representatives from our surrounding communities. We met twice in 2015 to discuss issues relevant to the watershed and to explore the possibility of cooperative projects and funding. This Spring, the Friends of the Bark River will continue their mission of cleaning up the river and removing invasive species along the banks. The DelafieldHartland Water Pollution Control Commission staff continues to monitor upcoming EPA phosphorus remediation requirements that could potentially have a tremendous impact on our area. There were 2 significant staffing changes in 2015. After 7 years of outstanding public service, City Clerk/ Treasurer Gina Gresch left us in October to pursue other interests. Since then, we have revised job descriptions and initiated a search for a new Clerk. As a result of this, Marie Williams has been named Treasurer in addition to her position as Finance Officer. Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Jeanne O’Brien has stepped up as interim Clerk. Library Director Terry Zignego announced her retirement in 2015 after 24 years with the Delafield Public Library. As of this writing, the Library Board is evaluating finalists from the applicants to replace Terry and it’s expected that the new Library Director will be named very soon - likely before this newsletter reaches your home. We thank both Gina and Terry for their dedicated service to the City and wish them well as they embark on a new life path. We have experienced an upswing in proposed developments for both residential and commercial projects. We follow a prescribed process when evaluating any proposal, insuring that all are treated fairly while respecting the Master Plan. Citizen input is important. I encourage you to attend meetings and voice your opinions to your elected representatives. Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2016.

As our country moves out of the economic recession, we have seen a surge of new business approvals, potential developments, infrastructure improvements and residential proposals. People want to live, work and play in Delafield. All of this keeps us very busy, but in a good way! I hope many of you were able to enjoy Memorial Day weekend 2015 as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Cushing Memorial park and the monument. Having Alonzo Cushing’s Medal of Honor on display first at St. John’s NW Military Academy and then at City Hall was a historic event for all of Wisconsin. None of this would have been possible without the tireless work of several key individuals: Mary Daniel, President of Hawk’s Inn; Chris Smith, Alderman District 4; Dave Krueger, local historian; and President Dr. Jack Albert and staff from SJNMA. On behalf of the City, I want to thank them for their time and dedication. I do not want to forget to thank our DPW, Police and Lake Country Fire & Rescue staff for stepping forward to get the City ready for the many out-of-town visitors and dignitaries we hosted.

The Lake Welfare Committee is looking for your input. Some residents have commented that the wave action on Lake Nagawicka has been increasing to levels of concern from the everincreasing number of wake surfing and wake boarding boats being used on the lake Nagawicka. Wake surfing boats are capable of carrying a large ballast of water, designed to go 12-14 mph, and generating waves between 4 and 5 feet measured from the trough to the crest of the wave. The participant surfs just a few feet behind the boat during this activity. Wake boarding boats go a little faster with waves 2-3 feet high and the participant rides their board back and forth jumping the waves. As a comparison, new water ski boats are designed to generate wakes approximately 6 inches high. The Lake Welfare committee would like to know if the recent increases in these types of boats and activities have changed how you enjoy the lake. As a sailor, water skier, tuber, pontooner, kayaker, or paddle boarder, are you noticing this change? We’d greatly appreciate your positive or negative feedback on this topic. Please plan to stop by the regularly scheduled Lake Welfare committee meeting in February or March (6pm at City Hall on the 2nd Wednesday of each month) or send an email to [email protected] with your comments. The Lake Welfare Committee will review all comments during these upcoming meetings and discuss the possible need for restrictions around the time of day, day of week or areas of lake regarding the use of these types of boats for this activity. Members of the Lake Welfare Committee perceive this as a difficult topic and one that other lakes both locally and nationally are discussing and struggling with as well. The boating industry has made considerable changes to their boat designs in recent years, and enthusiastic boaters are buying them at a rapid pace. With your input, we’re hopeful that we can address these concerns in a way that allows everyone equal access and enjoyment of this great natural resource we call Lake Nagawicka.
