1. Waterford Fire & Rescue continues to improve and ex-
pand the level and quality of service it provides to Vil-
lage residents. When Rick Mueller stepped into the role
of Fire Chief two years ago, he was given the task of
improving service and addressing department concerns
expressed by firefighters in an internal survey.
The department was reorganized, response times im-
proved dramatically, and staffing levels improved. Now,
a higher level of medical service (paramedic) gives citi-
zens the confidence that highly
skilled emergency responders
will be able to provide emergen-
cy room care in their home, in
their vehicles, on the road.
The department partners with
the Wind Lake Fire Department
to provide Advanced Life Sup-
port for Village residents. Now,
under the guidance of Dr.
Schultz, medical director,
and the licensing and men-
toring of the Town of
Vernon’s paramedic pro-
gram, the department can
provide a higher level of
care. Paramedic staffing is
part time at this point with
two trained paramedics,
supported by the Vernon
FD Paramedics and con-
tinued ALS partnership
with Wind Lake. But a plan
is in place to gradually in-
crease paramedic staffing.
Two more paramedics in
training are preparing to step in to the position by late summer.
Although the paramedic service is part-time at this point,
the partnership with Vernon, will continue to provide the
service when Waterford is not staffed with a paramedic. To
ensure quick, efficient, and accurate care, ambulances in
both communities are outfitted exactly the same, with the
same equipment, and same supplies. Paramedics from either
department aren’t tasked with finding necessary supplies or
medicine in critical situations. They are well-acquainted with

Now Paramedic Level Service
Paramedic, Zachary Cuomo, uses a dummy to demonstrate the department’s newest life-
saving equipment. The laryngoscope (see inset photo) allows him to safely and accurately
assess a patient’s airway with a digital monitor display to provides a clear view of the pas-
sageway and aid in placing a breathing tube.

Our Village, abounding with exciting dynamic and fostering progress at nearly every turn,
recently turned another page in its celebrated history with little or no fanfare!
That folks, as Village President, is my fault and as you continue reading I will share this spe-
cial story, which is unprecedented and literally so critically important to our community.
At the beginning of May, our Rescue Squad and its dedicated, talented and trained staff
was authorized and operates under the license of the Town of Vernon to deliver Para-
medic emergency services. It’ll be on a limited basis at the outset and gradually growing
to a fulltime service.
“It is just so huge for our community,” said Fire Chief Rick Mueller. “Up to now, the
Waterford Department was staffed with Advance Emergency Medical Technicians
(AEMT’s), working in partnership with the Wind Lake Fire Department.
Paramedic services, he said, means having the ability to “deliver emergency room services” at the scene. Paramedic li-
censing (the next step up for AEMT service) authorizes use of significantly more medicine options and implementation
of more medical procedures.
“Our goal is to deliver high quality medical service to reverse reversible conditions which have stricken and traumatized
the patient.” Mueller said.
Not to misunderstand, our Village always has been blessed with dedicated, talented and trained staff, however its scope
of services were less than what can be delivered under today’s authorization.
“Paramedic care,” Mueller said, “is another level of defined care for someone traumatized. It provides a higher level of
diagnoses and thus, appropriate use of more specific procedures.”
Mueller explained, in order to make this happen, Waterford Rescue Department teamed up with the Town of Vernon as
an additional response partner, adding this second partnership. “Technically, we are working under Vernon’s license, but
with our own Paramedics,” Mueller said.
Waterford has two active Paramedics currently and that will expand to four by the end of summer. The practicality of this
arrangement is that when Waterford’s Paramedics are not scheduled, Vernon’s Paramedics are available.
Before I conclude, I want to mention that in conjunction with the Paramedic Service offering and also the result of re-
organizing the Fire and Rescue Service, response time (time to get emergency vehicles out the door) is now consistently
less than two minutes.
As a result, today’s Waterfordians not only get advanced emergency medical care, almost like being in a hospital emergen-
cy room, but it’s delivered to their
home, PRONTO!
To me, I find this re-assuring and com-
forting to know that top-notch and
immediate Emergency Medical Service
is at your fingertips and only a phone
call away. I hope you do, too. I say,
Hallelujah!

3. 3New Faces on Board and Committees
We say good-bye and thank former trustee Ron Kluth for his ser-
vice as trustee since 2011 and welcome Andrew Ewert to the posi-
tion. Mr. Ewert won his first election, taking his seat for the April
25th board meeting. He was also appointed to serve on the Fi-
nance Committee and Community Development Authority.
By State law, new trustees must sign the official oath of office
within 5 days of the election. The Village has the option to ad-
minister a ceremonial oath, which it did before the May 9th
Board meeting.
New committee members are appointed by President Tom
Roanhouse and approved by the Board. Committee members
serve for a one-year term and may be reappointed each year. In
the case of the Plan Commission, commissioners are appointed
to serve staggered three-year terms.
During the year, the president, with Board approval, will ap-
point to fill vacancies as they occur.
Welcome to our new committee members, noted in blue below,
and thank you for your service to the citizens of the village.
Andrew Ewert, seated next to Trustee Jim Schneider, begins his term as
Village trustee.

Strategic Planning
The Village Board directed staff to organize a strategic planning session and develop a public survey which will serve to
provide direction for the board as they plan for the next five years. While the board has a capital improvement plan in place
to address infrastructure and road improvements, they have not enlisted a process for strategic planning for the Village
overall. Staff and other stakeholders completed surveys to identify members of the community who would bring varied per-
spectives, skills, and experience to the strategic planning process. The individuals represented citizens, civic and faith organ-
izations, business, schools, community leaders, and others who met for a daylong session to develop a mission statement
for the Village and perform a SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis identifies the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats facing an organization. With this information, the group can create a plan for using the strengths and opportunities
for moving forward, while mitigating the
weaknesses and threats.
The next step will be asking for the entire
community to weigh in through a survey
included in your water and utility sewer
bill or online (www.waterfordwi.org/
StrategicPlanning). The questions are
based on the results of the SWOT analy-
sis. For those without a computer, a visit
to the library where their helpful staff, can
assist you.
The large group will reconvene in August
to review community input from the sur-
vey and develop a recommendation for
the Village Board.

the strategic planning session held on May 10
at the Waterford Public Library.

holders outside the Village participate in the day-
long planning session.

Health Department
Protect Yourself from Disease-Carrying Pests
Protect yourself against mosquito and tick bites this summer. West Nile virus (WNV) and Lyme disease are two illnesses that may
occur from these bites. WNV is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Infected people may develop fever, rash, muscle and
joint aches, nausea, vomiting and fatigue, or rarely severe symptoms. Lyme disease is a bacterial illness transmitted by the bite of a
black legged (deer) tick. The illness often starts as a circular rash near the bite. Fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and/or joint pain may
also be present. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics, and if untreated, complications may occur. If you think you are infected,
contact your healthcare provider. Local transmission of mosquito-borne Zika virus has not been reported in the
continental United States so far. Cases are associated with travel to a high-risk area. The species of mosquito that
can transmit Zika is not been found in Wisconsin, although two cases of the virus have been reported in the state.
Protect yourself from mosquito exposure!
Apply insect repellant to clothing and exposed skin.
Make sure window and door screens are in good repair.
Dispose of or turn over items (tires, boats, wheelbarrows)
that hold water to prevent mosquito breeding.
Change water in birdbaths and pet dishes at least every
three days.
Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and hot tubs.
Trim tall grass and weeds - mosquitoes use these areas to
rest during daylight hours.
Protect yourself from tick bites!
Wear a light colored long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and
high socks with pant cuffs tucked into the socks.
Walk in the center of mowed trails to avoid brushing up
against vegetation.
Conduct "tick checks" on yourself and your children
after being outdoors and promptly remove any ticks.
Insect repellents containing 0.5% permethrin or 20-30%
DEET have been shown to be effective against
deer ticks. Follow the manufacturer's
directions on the label.

equipped for paramedic service.the layout of the ambulance and ready to step in
and devote their efforts to saving lives.
“We now have two paramedics on staff - Zachary
Cuomo and Matt McGuire,” said Chief Rick
Mueller, “with Reed Johnson and Scott Kuehl
training to step up in August.”
Training for the three levels of Advanced Life Sup-
port (ALS) begins with Emergency Medical Tech-
nician EMT –180 hours; Advanced Emergency
Medical Technician (AEMT) - 350 hours; and Par-
amedic—1400 hours. A paramedic can deliver
emergency room services including administering
about 40 medications as opposed to 10 –17 that
EMT and AEMTs can administer.
The rescue team continues training regularly and
monthly with the medical director, working under
director’s level of service expectation with quarterly reviews.
“Getting to this level of service involved a lot of collaboration, effort, and planning.”
said Chief Mueller. “Dr. Schultz has high standards and expectations for delivering qual-
ity EMS services. This partnership with Vernon took a lot of work, updating our plans
and procedures, equipment and configuring our ambulances exactly like Vernon’s to
ensure that any paramedic—Vernon or Waterford, knows quickly and accurately where
needed equipment and supplies are located because when lives are at risk, every obstacle
to a positive outcome must be eliminated.”

ROAD
WORK
AHEAD
Racine Street Area Project
The project will include the following streets—Racine,
grading changes, curbs and
gutters. Sidewalks on some streets with green space
terraces will also be added. Center and North
streets will be converted to a one-way traffic pattern.
Sanitary sewer work and utility relocation for the
road construction has been completed. Road con-
struction will begin for Center and Racine Streets
west of Jefferson in early July and will be substan-
tially completed by August 15. The project was
planned in two stages with west of Jefferson to
begin first, leaving the east end open to accommodate activities in
the park, including Waterford Library’s summer reading program
children’s activities, River Rhythms summer concert series in Vil-
lage Hall Park, and access to Village Hall for the August 9th parti-
san primary.
Construction, east of Jefferson Street for Racine, North, and N.
River Streets and the Village Hall Park lot will begin after August 15.
Future Construction Plans
Road construction for the River East project, which includes
2nd and Division streets, the 2nd St. municipal (Safety Building)
parking lot, and Elizabeth St. parking at Ten Club Park, and
potential paving behind East Main Street businesses to the
north, will begin in 2017 and will add parking to the downtown
area with additional stalls in both municipal lots—2nd Street
and the new Elizabeth Street lot. In 2018. Engineering plans for
the River East project are in the final stages. The Village is for-
tunate to have been selected to receive Municipal Street Im-
provement Discretionary funds through the DOT and will be
reimbursed $275,713.90 for the project. The award was one of
eight in the State of Wisconsin. River East project costs are esti-
mated at just over $1million.
Village construction of sanitary sewer and water infrastructure
will begin on West and East Main Streets in preparation for the
DOT reconstruction of Hwy 20/83. The DOT will begin con-
struction at the end of 2018.
Along with that project, the Village will continue construction
of East Main from 1st Street to Milwaukee Street,
which isn’t included in the DOT project. The bridge
will also be reconstructed and plans call for the
bridge to be open to at least one lane of traffic
for most of the project.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT)
Southeast Region in Waukesha continues with the design on the
WIS 20/83 (Main/1st Street) project, from just west of
Buena Park Road to WIS 36 (Milwaukee Avenue). The work
will include the reconstruction of East Main Street from First
Street to Milwaukee Street. Designers continue to work on the
final design which will include coordination with utility compa-
nies that have facilities within the project limits. Real estate
acquisition for the project has started and is anticipated to con-
tinue through 2017. Final design is expected to be completed
in spring 2018. Utility work is expected to start spring of 2018,
with the roadwork starting in November 2018 with completion
November 2019. The construction will be staged to allow the
bridge and highway to remain open to local traffic for the entire
project.

Overnight parking restrictions are in effect all year. A parking viola-
tion may net you a $20 ticket and if you don’t pay the fine by the
court date noted on the ticket, you may find that you owe an addi-
tional penalty of $38 for a grand total of $58! Fines that are not paid
promptly will be forwarded to collections.
Payments can be made at Village Hall, 123 N. River Street or
dropped off in the drive-by box directly across from Village Hall. If
you’d like your day in court, you can find the court date listed on
the ticket.
Avoiding a Ticket
To avoid finding a ticket on your car when you step out for your
morning ride to work, remember to park on the correct side of the
street, following these guidelines:
Using the date
after midnight
—if the date is
an even number
park on the even
side of the street
(the side with
even-numbered
house numbers.
On the odd-numbered days, park on the side of the street with
odd house numbers.
Don’t fall into the trap of just switching sides every night—there
are seven months with 31 days which means that there are seven
back to back odd-numbered days.
REMINDER!

8. Police News 9
The Waterford Police Department sponsored Badges & Bullseyes, a
new youth activity program, through the organization, Cops and
Kids. The event was at capacity with ten kids participating.
The Waterford PD has developed a strong relationship with the
Cops and Kids organization. The organization helps organize and
promote youth events and provides many volunteers to work the
events.
Many of the volunteers are older children with troubled
histories who have benefited from past programs in the
past. The funds and donations received goes only to to-
ward expenses and equipment.
The organization was established in 2010 to *provide
police departments with the tools and funding to implement
award-winning community service programs. A 501(3)(c),
the non-profit organization promotes collaborative partner-
ships between law enforcement agencies and their communi-
ties through the use of proven community policing techniques.
Waterford has sponsored several Cops and Kids pro-
grams, including Cops & Bobbers (fishing) and Gutter
Busters (bowling), as well as the newest, Badges & Bull-
seyes. The organization is a standard for similar efforts
throughout the United States. Communities reach out for
assistance in starting their own programs. To learn more
about the Cops & Kids, volunteer, sponsor or donate to the
program, visit http://www.copsandkidsfoundation.org
After demonstrating a strong interest and ability at the
March event at Buck Trail Archers in Burlington, one stu-
dent was awarded a compound bow, arrows, case and other
equipment totaling approximately $600.

Partnership Seeks to Support and Expand Village Business
Late last year, Absolutely Waterford (AW), the Village’s Main
Street Program, hosted a guest from the Wisconsin Economic
Development Corporation (WEDC) who spoke about the op-
portunities and challenges for businesses in a Main Street com-
munity, especially when facing a major road construction through
the downtown. The group included members of the business
community, Absolutely Waterford, Waterford Area Chamber of
Commerce, and Village trustees, staff, and committee members.
The discussion emphasized the need to communicate and work
together toward common goals. A volunteer stepped forward to
facilitate and a new formalized partnership began, the Waterford
Business Cultivation Team (WBCT). Members of the WBCT
include representatives from AW, the Chamber, and the Village,
working to address concerns and opportunities to improve the
business climate, support existing businesses, recruit new busi-
ness, and promote economic development.
The group, meeting twice monthly, has
created a marketing brochure, and a list
of desired businesses, met with owners
of vacant properties, and is developing a targeted plan for mar-
keting the community. A member of the group has volunteered
to visit businesses in other communities and show them what
Waterford has to offer in the way of available properties,
consumers, traffic volume, and gaps in the market for retail
and services.
Other items the team will be reviewing: the process for starting,
opening, or expanding a business in the Village, mitigating the
challenges of road construction, enhancing the look of the down-
town, and other items to improve the climate for business devel-
opment and growth.

M-F. 8 am-5 pm
Village ordinance states that it is unlawful for any owner,
tenant or occupant of land to permit or maintain noxious
weeds or rank growth of vegetation on such land. It is
unlawful to allow or permit growth of noxious weeds or
vegetation to a height greater than 12 inches.
The Weed Commissioner is authorized by state statute to
destroy noxious weeds; to enter any lands that are not
exempt and cut or otherwise destroy noxious weeds with-
out being liable to an action for trespass or any other ac-
tion for damages resulting from the entry and destruction,
if reasonable care is exercised.
The Weed Commissioner or designee will investigate
concerns regarding noxious weeds within the borders of
the Village of Waterford and will respond to complaints
within a reasonable period of time.
If a person violates the weed and rank growth vegetation
ordinance, the Weed Commissioner shall document and
photograph the violation, and send a notice to the proper-
ty owner at the owner's address as listed in the property
tax records.
The notice shall identify the property and the vio-
lation, demand that the noxious weeds or rank
growth of vegetation be destroyed within 10 days
from the date of the notice and that the property
then be kept in compliance. The notice will also
advise that failure to correct the problem will re-
sult in the destruction or removal of the noxious
weeds or rank growth of vegetation by the Vil-
lage, that all of the costs incurred by the Village
shall be billed to the property owner as a special
tax, and that the violation may result in citations
and imposition of forfeitures. Additional notice is
not required for second and subsequent violations
occurring within the same calendar year.
After 10 days, the property shall be re-inspected
and documented. If the noxious weeds or over-
grown vegetation are still present, the Weed Com-
missioner shall arrange for the removal by a con-
tracted cutter as soon as reasonably possible. For second
and subsequent violations, the Weed Commissioner shall
document the violation as set forth above, notify the Po-
lice Department of the violation, and request that citations
be issued to the property owner for each day the violation
continues. The Weed Commissioner shall also arrange for
the weeds or other rank growth of vegetation to be re-
moved by a contracted cutter as soon as reasonably possi-
ble.
The Weed Commissioner will forward the Village's costs
of removal to the Village Treasurer, who shall bill the
property owner for the work, together with an adminis-
trative fee to recover the costs of enforcement. If the bill
is not paid within 30 days, it shall become a lien on the
property, and if not paid by October 15, the Treasurer
shall place the billed amount, plus an additional ten-
percent administrative fee to recover the Village's addi-
tional costs, on the tax roll as a special charge upon the
property where the noxious weeds or other rank growth
of vegetation were
destroyed as allowed
by state statute.

14. Animal Control
Dogs on the Loose
Every dog over the age of five months must be licensed, providing
proof of rabies vaccination for the calendar year. The cost of licensing
is $10 per neutered or spayed, $15 for in tact pets. A $5 late fee will
added for licenses that are issued after March 31.
When a dog is found running at large in the Village, it is taken to the
DPW garage for processing and boarding. The owner will be contact-
ed if his or her identity can be determined by tags and license or mi-
crochip. The owner shall pay the fees for keeping and caring for the
dog, and provide proof of required vaccination and
licensing, or assure vaccination and licensing by pre-
payment.
If the owner’s identity cannot be identified or found,
the dog is turned over to the Wisconsin Humane
Society (WHS) and the owner, when identified will
be responsible for all fees, plus the additional costs
applied by WHS.
In the event that the owner is unable to pay the fees
or make prepayment for vaccinations at the time the
dog is reclaimed, the owner may make payment
arrangements. However, if the amount due is not
paid to the Village as agreed in the payment ar-
rangements, the amount may be charged as a special
charge on the owner’s property taxes or collected by
any other means allowed by Wisconsin state law.
Other Animals
The owner of any animal that is impounded is re-
sponsible for paying all of the Village’s actual costs
and charges incurred in investigating, apprehending,
impounding, keeping and caring for the animal, and
all costs of prosecution, in addition to expenses
charged by any Humane Society or other person or
entity engaged by the Village to care for the animal and collected in
the same manner.
All fees, costs and charges are due whether any animal is reclaimed, or
released to another person, or destroyed.
Dogs in Village Parks
Dogs are prohibited in all Village of Waterford Parks, including events
such as River Rhythms. The Jean Jacobson Dog Park is now open at
Case Eagle Park in Rochester. The 2.5 acre dog park is enclosed so
dogs can be released from the leash.
It can be costly if
your dog is picked up
$25 /day boarding fee
$50 impound fee
$35 rabies prepayment (refunded if
proof of vaccination provided within
10 days of reclaim)
$100 after hours emergency call for
pick-ups or releases (after hours: 4:00
pm—7:00 am or holidays /weekends)
$10-25 licensing fee plus applicable late fees for unlicensed dogs of Village residents
$50 for each re-occurrence in a rolling 12-month period
$92.50 or more—citation if you fail to provide proof of licensing and up-to-date
rabies vaccination within 10 days of intake.
Unknown costs—if the dog’s owner can not be determined, the Wisconsin Hu-
mane Society is contacted for pick up and charges a fee.
An invoice will be sent to the pet owner and must be received within 30 days of the
invoice date. Unpaid invoices may be charged as a special charge on the owner’s prop-
erty as allowed by state law or collected in any other means allowed by law.

Property Assessments
Associated Appraisal has completed interior and exterior inspections for proper-
ties that that were not visited in 2015 during the village-wide revaluation. Those
property owners received a letter earlier this year inviting them to call and sched-
ule an appointment for the assessor to visit. Owners who did have a visit in 2015,
but felt the assessment was incorrect, were also able to call for an appointment.
The 2016 interim market adjustment assessment rolls are now available on the
Village website and at Village Hall for viewing. Notice of change (increase or de-
crease) were mailed to 217 property owners.
Property owners can attend the Open Book to review their assessment and other
property assessments with the assessor. To dispute an assessment, property own-
ers should attend the Board of Review to lodge a formal objection.
New Assessor Contracted
The Village Board has approved a contract for assessment services with Affiliat-
ed Property Valuation Services, LLC. The five-year contract begins July 1, 2016.
If you have property or assessment questions after July 1, contact Daniel
McHugh, Jr. — leave a voicemail at 262.534-1857 or call his cell at 608.436.3038

15. Community 17
Mission Statement: To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet
humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding
through Lions clubs.
Vision Statement: To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.
In 1917, Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old
Chicago business leader, told members
of his local business club they should
reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world.
Jones’ group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed.
The group reached out to similar groups, held an organizational meeting and took the name Asso-
ciation of Lions Clubs and held their first national convention that year. Within three years, Lions
Club became an international organization.
Nearly 100 years later, Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service organization with
1.35 million members. Lions Clubs International services are broad and include aid to the blind
and visually impaired, health, youth, elderly, environment, and disaster relief.
Locally the Waterford Lions, organized in 1960, give 100% of their profit from public events to
the community—44% to youth programs, 26% for social needs, 14% to community projects,
13% to local food banks, and 2% to other projects.

Lions Club of Waterford
Service Organization
An online survey distributed through the Village website, the Face-
book pages of the Library, Absolutely Waterford, and the Cham-
ber of Commerce, and through the graded and high schools
brought nearly 400 responses. Just under twenty attended the pub-
lic meeting in early May.
Survey Results
How important is it to use the park to focus on the history of the
downtown area? 41.5% felt it was very important; 14% felt it was-
n't important at all. Suggestions included plaques,
pictures with history, stone monument, signs.
What are the most important uses for you or your
organization? Most popular were a place for chil-
dren to play (33.1%), community events (29.5%),
and enjoying nature (17.1%)
How would you use a path through the park? Most
popular include walking or running (38.1%), ven-
dors during community events (22%).
53% felt it was very important to incorporate new
trees into the design. 49.7% thought a flag pole was
very important.
When asked about financing the cost of the park
and amenities, such as tables, benches, gazebo, etc.
36.6% felt a combination of options was appropri-
ate. Corporate and business sponsorships (16.2%),
donations (14.9%), fundraisers (13.9%) were the top selections,
with naming rights, grants, citizen sponsorships, and taxes getting
the lowest votes.
The final question asked for participant suggestions and many felt
that the park should be a community gathering place—farmers
market, community events, and a place for friends to meet.

and comments, visit www.waterfordwi.org/10ClubSurvey.

This past spring,
AW approached the
Village with a pro-
posal to initiate a
pilot program to
beautify the Heritage
District, specifically
Main Street, with
flower pots and
planters in front of
businesses. The pro-
posal asked that the
permit application,
fees, and liability
insurance be waived to encourage businesses to enhance
storefronts. The Village embraced the idea and AW deployed
volunteers to get the word out. As part of the initiative, the
Burlington Garden Center jumped on board, offering a $10-
off coupon to everyone participating in this initiative. Abso-
lutely Waterford would appreciate your feedback on this pro-
ject. The next time you visit the Heritage District, make note
and let us know if you like what you see! Send an email to:
director@absolutelywaterford.org.
