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.

occurred within the office with Gina’s

Changes coming in the near future
are mostly to do with elections. The

Bring enough grub to share and settle in to watch a classic football movie. And don't forget to wear your best game day gear! Prizes will be given for "Best Food Presentation," "Best Tasting Grub," and "Best Game Day Gear Get-‐Up.” This event is free and open to the public, however, space is limited and registration is required. This program is limited to adult patrons only. For more details about this event or others at Delafield Public Library visit the library at 500 Genesee St., call 262-‐646-‐6230 or log on to DelafieldLibrary.org.

Traditional Irish Music Comes to Delafield Library By Jen Bremer, Adult Services Librarian Start your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations early with Delafield Public Library. Milwaukee’s Ceol Cairde, a traditional Irish band, will perform Sunday, February 21 at 2pm in the Council Chambers. Ceol Cairde, a five piece Irish band, has been playing music together for over 20 years. The quintet got their start as students in Irish Fest Summer School and play venues all across Wisconsin. Ceol Cairde is comprised of members Ed Miller, bodhran, percussion; Al Liebsch, fiddle; Harry Seaman, fiddle, banjo, octave mandolin; Kristina Paris, flute; and Sue Van Dyke, tin whistle, concertina. Along with the traditional reels and jigs, the band delights in explaining the unique sound that is Irish music, the instruments, and the importance of dance in Irish music. This family friendly program is free and open to the public. For more information about Ceol Cairde visit CeolCairde.com. For more information on this program or others at Delafield Public Library visit the library at 500 Genesee Street, log on to DelafieldLibrary.org, or call 262-‐646-‐6230.

Linking Our Past to Our Future - The Delafield History Center
The white building adjacent to
the Hawks Inn house museum on
Wells Street has been renamed The
Delafield History Center. The purpose
is to emphasize to the public that our
collections are not limited to those
pertaining to Hawks Inn and the Hawks
family, but include historical information
for the entire Delafield area. Our large
photo collection, Delafield Then and
Now, has photos from 1870s Delafield

Wisconsin history are also featured. At
this time, the books may not be checked
out, but can be accessed when the
Center is open.
As is evidenced by the sign in the

finished with dessert by the Great
Harvest Bread Co. Throughout the year,
the Center is available for rentals for

other events such as the Winter Music

Have you noticed a change in the wave action on Lake Nagawicka in the last few years?
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 gbrian@ci.delafield.wi.us
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.
