The <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saukville</strong><br />

Spring/Summer <strong>2011</strong><br />

FROM THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT…<br />

Dear Friends:<br />

Spring is in the air … the days are getting longer … we’re in<br />

Daylight Savings Time … and looking forward to another warm<br />

and wonderful summer. However, before looking ahead to<br />

those nice months, I’d like to reflect a little about the year 2010<br />

and the changes that took place in our fine community.<br />

The points listed below are a synopsis <strong>of</strong> my State <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong><br />

address which was presented to the <strong>Saukville</strong> Chamber <strong>of</strong><br />

Commerce and the Port Washington-<strong>Saukville</strong> Rotary Club. It<br />

can also be found on the <strong>Village</strong>’s website in PDF form.<br />

The theme <strong>of</strong> the Power Point Presentation was that I believe<br />

<strong>Saukville</strong> has an “APP” for each <strong>of</strong> our needs and then I went<br />

on to explain them further:<br />

<strong>Saukville</strong> prides itself on having a full-service Police Department.<br />

This group continues to remain on top <strong>of</strong> their pr<strong>of</strong>ession<br />

with the purchase <strong>of</strong> and training on six Smith &<br />

Wesson M&P-15 Patrol Rifles with EO Tech Sights.<br />

On October 16, 2010, the <strong>Village</strong>’s Emergency Management<br />

Director and the <strong>Saukville</strong> Fire Department sponsored a<br />

Community Preparedness Functional Exercise to simulate<br />

a hazardous materials spill incident with complications at<br />

CCP. This event was very useful as training for everyone<br />

concerned.<br />

Mayfair Drive was in the process <strong>of</strong> being refurbished so the<br />

Utilities Department checked all sanitary manholes (9-11)<br />

and found they were leaking. Utilities used new technology<br />

to raise the manholes to grade level with a recycled<br />

material product that one person could lift alone rather<br />

than lifting concrete rings with a backhoe.<br />

South Main Street had a fire hydrant that needed replacing<br />

because it was leaking water and couldn’t be turned <strong>of</strong>f. It<br />

didn’t have a pumper nozzle connection or a shut <strong>of</strong>f valve<br />

which would be needed in case <strong>of</strong> a fire in the area. This<br />

hydrant was changed out with the free cooperation <strong>of</strong> WE<br />

Energies as they held their electric pole in place during the<br />

work.<br />

In addition to the rain garden at <strong>Village</strong> Hall, two more rain<br />

gardens were added to the <strong>Village</strong> … one at the Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Public Works building and one at Oscar Grady<br />

Library.<br />

The $6+ million Wisconsin Humane Society Ozaukee Campus<br />

Victoria Wellens Center is now open for business. This<br />

beautiful 22,000 square foot building located on HWY 33<br />

just west <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saukville</strong>’s Post Office is Gold LEED Certified<br />

… the first LEED certified shelter in the Midwest.<br />

This past fall, Milan Estates, a community based residential<br />

facility, opened its doors to its first assisted living residents.<br />

The very successful La Chimenea business plan that has operated<br />

in Germantown for a number <strong>of</strong> years is now also<br />

available in <strong>Saukville</strong> on Foster Drive.<br />

Jay and Jody Schwanz have taken over the operation and<br />

ownership <strong>of</strong> Wagen’s since the building was purchased<br />

by Rob Brooks. The name for this new Business “APP” is<br />

J’Sports Bar & Grill.<br />

Tanya Haswell has taken her business, “Now It’s Personal<br />

Photography”, to a new level with the purchase <strong>of</strong> the<br />

building at 117 South Mill Street.<br />

By the end <strong>of</strong> summer, <strong>2011</strong>, our Walmart store will have the<br />

appearance <strong>of</strong> a totally new building … inside and out and<br />

including the parking lot. Walmart’s size will increase to<br />

153,283 square feet as it adds 56,650 square feet and<br />

becomes a Supercenter.<br />

This Business Expansion “APP” is the right answer to the<br />

question <strong>of</strong> Walmart wanting to grow in <strong>Saukville</strong> and<br />

<strong>Saukville</strong>’s need to keep the existing building occupied.<br />

Walmart has promised to keep the renovated building and<br />

grounds in much better shape moving forward. Documents<br />

created between the Walmart group and the <strong>Village</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Saukville</strong> will provide certainty to all concerned that the<br />

new partnership will be respectful <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong> all.<br />

With regard to the Future Business “APP” <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saukville</strong>, construction<br />

continues on MShiraz, a distributor <strong>of</strong> exclusively<br />

Wisconsin wines, in our Business Park. This 7,500 square<br />

foot building will provide warehouse and <strong>of</strong>fice space for<br />

this growing business.<br />

Patrice’s has a new owner whose intention it is to open a restaurant<br />

called the Firehouse Inn. The interior <strong>of</strong> the building<br />

will be a firehouse theme and the menu will be varied<br />

and affordable.<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, it is my expectation that the <strong>Village</strong> Board and staff<br />

will spend some time looking into the use <strong>of</strong> social media<br />

to “get the word out”, as it were, to help with local development.<br />

This is an avenue we need to explore and use to its<br />

best advantage.<br />

I closed by reminding everyone that, as we have in the past,<br />

we will continue to watchdog the <strong>Village</strong> budget making sure all<br />

taxpayer funds are wisely spent. 2010 <strong>of</strong>fered only a .6% increase<br />

in operating expenses which I believe to be commendable<br />

since even utility costs went up considerably more than<br />

that amount. The <strong>Village</strong> Board and <strong>Village</strong> Administrator always<br />

spend whatever time is necessary to trim expenses to<br />

minimums while still providing services the public deems to be<br />

important.


Please be reminded that each <strong>of</strong> the above listed “APP’s” would not have taken place without the excellent team work <strong>Saukville</strong> experiences<br />

among the <strong>Village</strong> Board, various Committees, the Management Team, staff and, last but not least, our volunteers. As<br />

residents, we can be proud <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> these groups and the things they make happen!<br />

Regardless <strong>of</strong> how the politics play out at the State level, I believe the <strong>Village</strong>’s budget will be challenged even more in the future than<br />

it has been in the past. If you have ideas or thoughts you want to share on efficiencies you might suggest, please email them to me at<br />

bdickmann@village.saukville.wi.us<br />

Have a wonderful spring and summer and please remember to be optimistic in challenging <strong>2011</strong> to be better than 2010!!<br />

emptied. Any garbage or recyclable materials placed curbside in<br />

any container other than the carts will not be collected.<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Water & Wastewater<br />

FIRE HYDRANT FLUSHING<br />

The <strong>Saukville</strong> Water Department will be flushing hydrants<br />

throughout the <strong>Village</strong> weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00<br />

p.m. April 11 th through April 22 nd . There may be some discoloration<br />

in your water during this process. This is iron and is not<br />

harmful. We recommend that you do not do laundry if your water is<br />

discolored. If you forget and your clothes have a reddish appearance,<br />

DO NOT DRY THE CLOTHES; rather rewash in cold water to<br />

remove the discoloration. Running the tap for a short period <strong>of</strong> time<br />

will clear the lines after the flushing in your area is completed.<br />

MEDICINE COLLECTION<br />

Please do not discard old medications by flushing them<br />

down the toilet or throwing them in the trash. Save them<br />

in their original containers in a safe place. You can drop<br />

them in the Med-Return Collection box located in the lobby<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saukville</strong> Police Department, Monday<br />

through Friday during normal business hours, for proper disposal.<br />

PAYMENT OPTION<br />

You can pay your <strong>Village</strong> water utility bill online! Just go to the website<br />

- www.<strong>of</strong>ficialpayments.com - click on Local; Wisconsin; <strong>Saukville</strong>,<br />

<strong>Village</strong> <strong>of</strong>; utility payment; then enter amount <strong>of</strong> payment and<br />

appropriate information. There is a convenience fee <strong>of</strong> 2.75% for<br />

credit card use and a flat fee <strong>of</strong> $2.75 for e-checks. We also <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account.<br />

Your quarterly payment can be deducted automatically from your<br />

selected account on the 25 th <strong>of</strong> the billing month, at no additional<br />

charge. Go to the <strong>Village</strong> website (<strong>Village</strong> Services/Water & Sewer<br />

Utility) to download a form to sign up for automatic withdrawal. We<br />

can also arrange a payment plan if necessary. Contact <strong>Village</strong> Hall<br />

for more information.<br />

ON DEMAND WATER SOFTENERS<br />

Consider buying an On Demand water s<strong>of</strong>tener when a new one is<br />

needed or an old one is replaced. The DNR would like the <strong>Village</strong> to<br />

lower its chloride output into the Milwaukee River. By using an On<br />

Demand water s<strong>of</strong>tener, which only regenerates based on the volume<br />

<strong>of</strong> water used, you will be saving money which, in turn, uses<br />

less salt and water thus reducing the chlorides coming into the<br />

Wastewater Plant.<br />

PLUGGED SANITARY SEWER LATERAL<br />

If you find water standing in your basement, stop using water in your<br />

house. Watch the height <strong>of</strong> the water on the basement floor; it<br />

should stop coming up, then either stay the same or go down slowly.<br />

Emergency Management<br />

1600 Cottontail Lane<br />

(262) 284-3185<br />

This indicates that you may have a plugged sanitary sewer lateral<br />

leading to the main sanitary sewer line and you should call a<br />

plumber immediately. Remember that your low flow 1.3 gallon per<br />

flush toilet has very little water to flush the solids out through the<br />

lines. Be careful what you flush. A lot <strong>of</strong> paper product in your toilet<br />

requires a lot <strong>of</strong> water to move it along.<br />

WATER CONSERVATION TID-BITS<br />

• Soak, don’t spray. Install drip-irrigation or soaker<br />

hoses for more efficient watering in planting beds and<br />

beneath shrubs and trees.<br />

• Do it the hard way. Use a broom or rake (not a hose) to remove<br />

debris from driveways and walkways. It saves water and<br />

it’s good exercise!<br />

• Conserve water naturally. Select plants that are native to your<br />

region and can thrive with little or no extra watering. Your local<br />

nursery can help you identify and select drought-tolerant plants.<br />

• Keep it cool. Water your lawn and plants early in the morning<br />

when the sun’s rays aren’t working to evaporate your water.<br />

• Let it grow. Adjust the height <strong>of</strong> your lawnmower to cut your<br />

grass higher. This helps protect roots from heat stress and<br />

reduces the loss <strong>of</strong> moisture to evaporation.<br />

• Sidewalks don’t need water. Avoid planting turf in areas that<br />

are difficult to irrigate properly such as steep inclines and isolated<br />

strips along sidewalks and driveways.<br />

SUMP PUMPS<br />

Please remember to check your sump pump and make sure it is<br />

hooked up correctly to the discharge lateral and not to the sanitary<br />

sewer system. Per <strong>Village</strong> Ordinance, it is illegal to hook-up or discharge<br />

storm water or clear water into the <strong>Village</strong>’s sanitary sewer<br />

lines. Since all discharges to the sanitary sewer end up at the treatment<br />

plant, this creates additional problems to properly<br />

process the wastewater for eventual discharge to the river.<br />

HIGH WATER BILLS AND WATER LEAKS IN HOMES<br />

When your water bill becomes higher than normal, there is<br />

usually a leak in your home. 95% <strong>of</strong> all leaks are toilets and<br />

most times you cannot hear the leak. We recommend that you<br />

check your toilets every 6 months to make sure they are not leaking.<br />

Place a drop <strong>of</strong> natural food coloring in the tank - do not flush.<br />

Check it in 20 minutes. If color appears in the bowl, it is leaking<br />

water. The toilet most likely leaking is the toilet rarely used. This is<br />

also a good time to operate all <strong>of</strong> your valves in your home and to<br />

start reading your meter weekly to make sure you have no leaks and<br />

that you are only billed for the water you use.<br />

TORNADO AND SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK: APRIL 11TH - 15TH Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week is a good time to go over the plans you have made to ensure the safety <strong>of</strong><br />

your family when severe weather strikes. Be prepared.<br />

A STATEWIDE TORNADO DRILL - PLANNED FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 14, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Village</strong> will sound the warning sirens for this drill between 1:15 and 1:30 p.m. If actual severe weather occurs anywhere<br />

in the state on April 14th , the drill will be postponed until April 15th .
