District 7
Update:
BY Tim Aicher,
District 7 Alderman
taicher@ci.delafield.wi.us
It has been an eventful 2010 for the
entire City and now is a good time to
shed some perspective on what changes
have occurred, are in progress or scheduled for the near future in the City and
how they may affect the 7th District.
Citywide property reassessment:
Every property in the City received a
new City assessment in 2010. The assessment for 2010 brought leveled a
small disparity between undervalued
commercial properties and residential
properties that were already close to
their full value. As District 7 contains
almost no commercial properties, this
process likely resulted in a slight tax burden shift from District 7 to other districts
containing more businesses.
City buildings open: As you are all
aware, the newly renovated City Hall
and new Library building are open for
business. It was widely reported that
this project occurred on time and under
budget. For City Hall, the new space
makes the staff more efficient and all
public meetings more accessible. For
the Library, it provides more programming space, better access to materials
and greatly enhances revenue potential
as circulation increases. If you have not
“checked out” the new Library, make a
point to do so in the near future. Take a
friend and invite others you know from
outside Delafield. We have an exceptional staff that is here to serve you and
the more the Library is used the more
we can share the benefits (and costs).
Development: Over the past 18
months new construction has been limited citywide and District 7 is no different. We had a ground breaking on a new
addition at the Nashotah House that will
add over 8000 square feet of meeting
rooms and class rooms to their grounds.
I think this is great for District 7 since the
Nashotah House is such a good steward
to the environment and their success is
critical to maintaining the beauty of the
Northwest side of the City. Some other
residential development has continued
at a pace that reflects the economic
times while being completed at the high
standards established by the developers
and their permits with the City.
Zoning: In 2009 the City passed a
comprehensive Smart Growth Plan as
required by State Law. It effectively lays
out what type and how much development can occur anywhere in the City. In
2010, hundreds of parcels of land had
their zoning updated to reflect this mas-
ter plan and eliminate ambiguities. With
the large amount of agricultural land in
District 7, this effort provides needed
structure to any new development proposals.
Ordinance updates: We have recently passed ordinances relating to the
permitted use of fireworks and recreational fires. As both are commonly seen
in District 7, fireworks are now legal with
a permit and recreational fires remain
permissible within new guidelines for
times, location and size. All ordinances
updated or passed in 2010 can be found
on the City web site www.cityofdelafield.
com under the “Government” tab.
2011 Budget: The budget for 2011
has passed. The net result is an approximate 6% levy increase. There is a
clear discipline in place from the Administrator, Mayor and all department heads
that resulted in creative cost cutting and
near flat operational budgets for each
department. The largest component of
the levy increase in this budget is the
debt service on the new buildings that is
in full effect now and appeared on your
property tax bills in conjunction with any
assessment impact.
I have enjoyed serving District 7
over the past 20 months and I remain
available to answer any questions, be
your advocate or provide guidance on
any local government issues you face.

$ave Money — Use Less Salt This Winter
Salt and sand contribute greatly
to lake and stream pollution. Once it’s
spread on parking lots, streets, sidewalks and driveways, it’s on its way to
the nearest lake or stream and cannot
be recovered. Fifty pounds of salt (one
large bag) can pollute 10,000 gallons
of water—which is equivalent to one
teaspoon in a five-gallon bucket of water. Municipalities are working to cut
salt use while still keeping streets safe.
So, let’s all save money this winter with
these helpful tips and help the lakes and
streams at the same time.
• Always use a shovel first, especially if the pavement temperature is 32°F or
more—don’t waste money on deicers.
• Reserve deicers for ice, not snow.
• All salt is not created equal. Various types of deicers perform differently
at different temperature ranges. The
most common and cheapest is sodium
chloride (“rock salt”), but doesn’t work
when the pavement is colder than 15°F.
Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride cost more, but you’ll use less and it
works in colder temps.
• Consider getting a pavement
thermometer (~$30) to help determine
pavement temperatures, which can vary
widely depending on how much sun
shines on your driveway.
• Measure your sidewalk and driveway so you know how much you need.
A general guideline is to use 1-3 cups of
salt per 1,000 square feet. Don’t waste
money by using more than is needed.
• Consider applying liquid salt to the
pavement before the storm and shovel a
little while it’s snowing. After the storm,
shovel before using any salt. Often, you
won’t need any. Use deicers on ice, don’t
waste it on snow.
• You can use 30% less if you wet
your salt with some water before applying it.
• While salt is sometimes mixed
with sand to keep the sand from freezing
into a solid block, it’s not a good idea to
use both at the same time on your sidewalk. The salt will melt the ice, but if it
refreezes, the sand can be frozen below
the surface where it can’t do any good.
Choose one or the other. Try removing
the ice by hand first before using either
sand or salt.
• If you have an area that tends to
ice up, consider making it a priority to
remedy next summer so you won’t need
to deice in the future.
Caveat Emptor! (Buyer beware!)

“The Delafield Area
Chamber of Commerce, in
conjunction with The Wisconsin Breast cancer Showhouse
(WBCS), invites you to join us
for our inaugural winter formal
ball: The Pink Tie Gala.
This new event started
as a dream to bring our community together to help a
very worthy cause that has
touched many of us in some
way. The WBCS has raised
over $4.1 million for breast
cancer and prostate cancer
research since 1998, and the
Delafield Chamber is proud
to be able to team up with this
successful non-profit organization for a second year. A
portion of the evening’s proceeds will go to support the
WBCS mission.
We look forward to your
attendance. We know it will
be a fun event with some
lasting memories. The evening will begin with a welcome reception, including
live piano. Have your photo
taken in your formal wear;
watch your bids closely in the
silent auction featuring some
very unique and sought-after
items; and follow the Bagpipe
Corps from St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy as
they usher guests into the
Delafield Hotel’s Ballroom to
enjoy a fabulous gourmet dinner and participate in the second annual “Wine Pull”. Dancing to the big band sounds of
Chris Mariani will cap off the
evening. What a great show
he puts on: Frank Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Tony Bennett,
all the classics. It will take you
back in time.
We look forward to enjoying the evening with old
friends and new. Come join
us, have fun, and help a very
important cause. Together we
can all make an impact.”

it’s probably sodium chloride, but you’re
better off using something that says exactly what’s in the bag. Some products
claiming to be “green” are simply chloride compounds. You can always ask for
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for the product—it will show percentages

This famous quote from the film
The Field of Dreams describes the first
2 months in our new library. “If you build
it, he (they) will come.”
Community response to the library
has been so exciting!
I observe people of all ages “coming” to the library. I have especially noticed a marked increase in the number
of young teens, business men & senior
citizens who previously did not use our library. Study rooms, tables & comfortable
seating are always in use. Individuals
enjoy sitting by a sunny window, using
their laptops. A large parking lot provides
easy access for moms with strollers &
seniors using walkers.
These statistics reflect how the
community is connecting with the new
library:
o 300 new library cards, the majority
issued to city residents
o 30% increase in circulation (comparing Oct 09 to Oct 10)
o 32 programs
o 100 uses of the 2 study rooms
o 17,500 users visited the library in

Hello!
the amount of money you have. I love
Hello, Delafield! I am the new
Young Adult / Reference Librarian at the
Delafield Public Library. I graduated with
my Master’s degree in Library and Information Studies this past May and have
worked at public libraries in Middleton,
Black Earth, Fort Atkinson, and now
Delafield, Wisconsin. What I love about
public libraries is that they are one of the
few places where access to entertain-
reading young adult books and playing board games. Three books that I
read over and over are The Ruby in the
Smoke by Philip Pullman, The Thief Lord
by Cornelia Funke, and I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. I am so excited to expand programming and other
services for teens here at the library, as
well as share my experience with and
enthusiasm for all things young adult!
What does 2011 hold for teens at the library?
• Extended hours during exam week (Jan 17th & 18th) – Study in peace with hot chocolate, apple cider and
cookies until 10:00 pm
My
name
is
Andrew
Schroettner, I’m
the oldest of nine
children, and I’m
currently homeschooling my senior year of high
school. I’m planning on becoming a medical researcher when after I graduate from
college, and I love reading. Classics, mystery novels, science fiction, fantasy, and
more; sci-fi is my favorite, but I’ll read them
all, given the chance. For me, reading is a
hobby and one of my greatest pleasures.
I’ve always loved being at the Delafield
Public Library, and I’m thrilled to be able
to work here.

Have fun, make a new friend, and

1-5 can read to a registered therapy dog
for 20 minutes at a time. Children may
bring in their own reading materials or
select from a shelf of materials at the library.
We will start taking registrations on
Monday, January 3, 2011, for 20 minute
periods, every other Saturday, beginning
January 8th. Drake will be here from
1:00-3:00 p.m., and reservations are for
one 20-minute time slot.
R.E.A.D. to Rover is a program in
which children read aloud to a registered
therapy dog and a licensed handler.
The program is designed to encourage
a love of reading in a fun and warm environment.
Students in grades 1 -5 were shown
to increase an average of 30% in their
standardized reading scores by reading
20 minutes per week.
Reading to a therapy dog in a quiet,
calm, non-threatening environment has
shown to be the perfect vehicle for learning.
Children are able to relax and read
at their own pace, and the dog loves to
hear a child’s voice and get an occasional snuggle.

a very insightful “Frequently Asked

bills in a declining market, http://www.

Please take a few minutes to read
through the questions and answers in
this document to help understand how
tax equity is maintained in a non-revaluation year, even when the current
market is in decline. Essentially, we
realize that we are all in the same boat
and that we will do our best as your
City officials and staff to get through
this economic storm.

Fire & Rescue
Safety Matters
There is nothing more important than the safety of your family. Everyone in your
home needs to know how to respond safely and calmly in the event of an emergency
or fire. Everyday Lake Country Fire & Rescue responds to emergencies that happen
without warning. Below are some simple ways to help prepare your family should
something happen.
Teach your kids how to respond in the event of an
emergency:
Make sure young children know how to dial 911
Establish and practice a fire escape plan and safe meeting place
Make sure everyone in your family knows how to use a fire extinguisher.
Smoke Detectors
Time Changes mean Battery Changes
Verify each month that smoke detectors are working
There should be at least one smoke detector on each level of your
house.
Winter Safety Tips
Winter Fire Hazards
Don’t overload your electrical outlets and extension cords. Overloading
increases the risk of having electrical fires
Keep your Christmas tree well watered to prevent drying of the needles
Space heaters if not properly monitored present an increased risk of
starting fires due to being too close to flammable objects.
Do you have a Carbon Monoxide Detector?
CO is an odorless and colorless gas also known as the silent killer.
Protect your family by placing a CO detector on every floor of your
house.
Has your Fireplace Chimney been cleaned this year?
Every time you burn particles build up in your chimney. If not cleaned the
build up can eventually start a fire.
Check the top of your chimney to be sure a bird/squirrel hasn’t built a
nest over the summer months.
Address Visibility
Is your house easy to find during the
day? Now let’s rephrase that question: Is
your house easy to find at 3:00am on a
dark foggy rural road?
Proper address identification:
Addresses are vital to emergency
services. A fire engine, ambulance, or
police car can be delayed several minutes trying to locate a correct address.
Such time delays can mean the difference between life and death. Residents
are responsible for two items that largely
determine the ability of an emergency
vehicle to find an address: (1) Correct
address from the person reporting the
emergency. Your address should be written on every phone in your house so that
in an emergency, anyone calling knows
the address. (2) Large, legible address
numbers visible from three sides of mailbox and front of house.
Condominium complexes and oddly-addressed streets can pose problems
for emergency responders. An address
may be shared by several living units
City of Delafield
in some complexes. Residents in such
complexes should prearrange a guide to
help emergency vehicles find the correct
address.
Next time you drive home, pretend
you are an emergency responder and look
at the addresses on some of the mailboxes and homes. How hard is it to find your
Communicator
neighbors and your own address? We
can’t help you if we can’t find you.

POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS
Members of the City of Delafield
Police Department were recent notified
that a Grant had been awarded to the
department by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The grant is in
the amount of $15,000.00. It is to be
used to fund directed patrol by officers

E-Cycle Wisconsin –

E-Cycle Wisconsin recycles:
Law keeps electronics out of landfills
A new statewide electronics recycling law is creating recycling opportunities for Wisconsin households and
schools. The law bans many common
electronics including computers, printers, TVs and cell phones from Wisconsin
landfills effective Sept. 1, 2010.
Non-profits such as Goodwill and
many retailers that sell these products
will now take them back for recycling.
Also, some municipal recycling drop
off sites will accept electronics, including the cities of Brookfield, New Berlin,
Oconomowoc, Pewaukee and Waukesha. Some haulers will collect large TVs.
Call the company that picks up your
trash, or your municipal office, for more
information. Visit the county website for
updated information.
The E-Cycle Wisconsin program,
created by the Department of Natural
Resources to implement the new law,
provides incentives to manufacturers of
electronics to responsibly manage their
products at the end of their useful life.
This Product Stewardship concept has
created new markets for used electronic
equipment and partnerships with nonprofit groups, local governments, retailers and recyclers. The law also requires
documentation by the recycler to assure
proper handling and tracking of the electronics collected.
Recycling your old electronics is
important because they contain valuable
materials that can be recycled and reused, including precious metals like gold
and copper. Many devices also contain
materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and chemical flame retardants. If disposed of improperly, these
materials can leach into the environment
where they may affect human and environmental health.
“After September 1, no one in Wisconsin may put items such as TVs, computers, printers and cell phones in the
trash,” said Ann Coakley, director of the
DNR’s Waste and Materials Management Program. “Electronics are resources that are too valuable to waste, and
we can help both our economy and the
environment by recycling them.”

Opt-In Form and Canada Goose Management
Follow-up Plan for Lake Nagawicka for 2011
By Gayle Gaborsky,
Lake Welfare Committee Member
In the last Communicator article I
gave some brief history and facts about
the Canadian Goose, in addition to
background information regarding the
management of the Canada Goose population, or should I say, overpopulation in
our area. We asked for citizen input and
many emails were received, over 95%
were positive for the goose control plan.
After several conversations with
Mike Jones of the USDA, we are ready
to move forward with the process for the
management of the Canada Geese on
Lake Nagawicka. Mr. Jones is a Wildlife Biologist for the USDA APHIS Wildlife Services out of Waupun, WI. Mike
gave an extensive presentation at the
last Lake Welfare meeting on Tuesday,
November 9, 2010. In a follow up letter from Mike Jones, dated November
17, 2010, he states that he and his supervisor are in agreement regarding our
goose situation. Here is an excerpt of
that letter:
“We are both in agreement that having an aggressive egg oiling program is
a critical component in managing your
goose damage issues. Egg oiling limits
the growth and number of birds in your
population, sometimes results in the
adult birds leaving the lake after nest
failure, and can be a very cost effective
goose management tool. Population
management via egg oiling is a natural
and expected progression from habitat
management, fencing, and harassment.
There are lakes near you that manage
their goose damage issues with only
these methods.
For goose roundup and removal to
be considered in 2011, an intensive and
dedicated egg oiling program will need
to be implemented on Lake Nagawicka.
Geese prefer to nest on islands therefore
it will be critical to secure permission to
access all privately owned islands where
geese may nest to have an effective egg
oiling program. Geese will usually nest
near the water so having permission to
access any private lands around the lake
where nests may be located is important. The DNR will only allow egg oiling
to occur on privately owned property and
can not be conducted on floating vegetation, on top of muskrats houses, on state
owned lands, or other properties not under private ownership.”
Our plan is to hire the USDA to
conduct the egg oiling which will take
place on or about April 15, 2011. Geese
usually start nesting late March to early
April, so this would be the first oiling.
Mike explained that the oiling should
be a coordinated project on the entire
lake to be effective and for any roundup
to be considered. The roundup would
be sometime in early June to late July,
depending on the recommendation and
permission from the USDA. At this point,
we are prepared to have Mike Jones apply for the egg oiling permit as soon as it
is available, and also the permits for the
roundup, should we be allowed to have
the USDA perform that process also.
As stated in the first article, the USDA
needs permission to access your property if you are interested in the Goose
Management Plan, which will include
the egg oiling and the roundup process.
Mike stated at the presentation, that a
