National Night Out is America’s night out against

held at the West Milwaukee Intermediate School,
5104 W. Greenfield Avenue.

West Milwaukee to provide refuse containers
On June 16th the Board of Trustees voted to purchase and provide Village issued refuse containers
to all residential properties that currently receive trash pick-up from the West Milwaukee DPW. One
tip cart will be provided to each residential unit at no cost. The Village has had problems with numerous properties not properly storing garbage and refuse before collection by the Village public
works department and this resulted in an increase in vermin causing health and safety concerns. The
tip carts will hopefully help prevent/alleviate rodent problems, help with alley aesthetics, and reduce
cans (blowing into streets) and lid problems. The containers will be 95 gallon carts and are expected
to be delivered in mid August. The containers will be register to an address and logged by a serial number.
It will be the homeowner’s/tenant’s responsibility to get the container to the curb and assure that the
cart is assessable to DPW employees on trash day. Sec. 70-61 of the Village code reads that preparation, storage, disposal of wastes must be prepared and stored as provided in the codes division and must
be readily accessible to collectors without interference due to vehicles, snow or other obstructions.
Additional containers can be purchased for $50. At the time of delivery for the tip carts the DPW
will be assessing all recycling containers and requesting replacement if they are damaged.
Please direct all questions regarding this to the Department of Public Works 414-645-6238.

Now that the warm days of summer have arrived and
school is out, the kids are now free to play and hang out with
their friends. Keep a close eye out for the bicycle riders and
children playing throughout the Village. Remember if a person is in a pedestrian crosswalk, traffic is required to stop
and let that person cross the street. It is the law.
I would like to bring to your attention the landscaping
changes at Centennial Clock Park. The trees and bushes
have been replaced with shrubbery and flowers and we are
going to install two flag poles. We would like to thank the
gardener Mr. Gerry Ampe for his dedication and hard work
for all the years of service making the park a beautiful sight.
The project is not complete and we are looking for volunteers to help with the landscaping, so if you are interested,
please contact me at 645-1530 extension 126. Please keep
in mind that memorial bricks for Centennial Clock Park are
available for $50.00 each. Contact Village Hall if you are
interested.
We are looking for Village residents to serve on the Village of West Milwaukee’s Commissions due to vacancies
and/or expiration of terms. Currently there are vacancies
on the Police Commission, Board of Review and the Zoning
Board of Appeals. The Village Commissioners serve primarily in an advisory role to the President and Village Board.
If you are interested please fill out an application at Village
Hall.
The Village has contracted with Associated Appraisal
Consultants, Inc. for assessment services and the Village
Board approved a revaluation assessment to be taken during
2015.
Save the date for Friday, August 15 which is “National
Night Out”. It’s a great event with food, entertainment and
fireworks. It is located at the West Milwaukee Intermediate
School 5104 West Greenfield Avenue. Hope to see you there.
We would like to congratulate Bill Koback who retired
July 1, 2014. During his long career he has been a valuable
member in the West Milwaukee Department of Public Works.
Bill was recognized with a Proclamation for his service to
the Village. Our best wishes to him in his future endeavors.
If you have any concerns, questions or comments, please
feel free to contact me at 645-1530 extension 126.

Important News for 2015…..
Associated Appraisal Consultants, Inc. has been retained by the Village of West Milwaukee to complete a revaluation of
all taxable property for the 2015 assessment year. The revaluation will establish new assessed values in an equitable fashion
for all properties in the municipality as of January 1, 2015.
In order to make accurate assessments, it is necessary for Associated Appraisal to conduct an interior and exterior review
of all homes, apartments and businesses in the Village. A brief interior walk-through is necessary for consideration of the features, quality, and condition of each residence or structure. These factors can significantly impact market value. In addition,
the assessor will be taking exterior photos of your property. Please note we have no interest in your housekeeping or your
personal belongings.
The assessors will begin the reassessments in Spring of 2015. Notices of Assessment will be distributed when the property reviews are complete and an assessment is determined for each property. Property owners will have an opportunity to
discuss the assessed values with an Associated Appraisal representative at the Open Book session. After the Open Book session, property owners have the opportunity to appeal an assessment to the Board of Review. The Notice of Assessment will
contain the Open Book and Board of Review dates.
Refuse Storage Areas and Collection
Sec. 70-131. Refuse storage areas and Sec. 70-132. Collection of refuse states that storage areas shall be kept in a nuisance
and odor-free condition and waste shall be accessible to collection crews and in approved containers. Violation will result
in the occupant and/or owner being notified to clean up his area with continued violation will result in a citation.
The Village code requires separation of recyclable materials. Recyclable containers must be in good condition and all occupants of single-family dwelling units and multiple-family buildings of four units or less shall separate the following recyclable materials from post-consumer waste:
(1)
Lead acid batteries;
