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 />

is every Thursday; Friday during a holiday week.<br />
Carts must be placed curbside by 7:00 a.m. on pick-up day. Carts<br />

materials (paper, plastic, glass, metal) can be placed in the<br />
same recycle cart; there is no need to separate. Residents are<br />
urged not to place garbage loosely in carts as this will lead to odor<br />
and pest problems as well as blowing materials when the carts are<br />
emptied. Any garbage or recyclable materials placed curbside in<br />
any container other than the carts will not be collected.<br />
Large Items: To dispose <strong>of</strong> large items such as furniture, mattresses,<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 />
