2017 Approved Budget
City of Sun Prairie
Mission Statement
To provide valuable, responsive, and cost-effecƟve services that enable residents
to enjoy a high quality of life.
Vision Statement
We want to coordinate the development of a modern community that under-
stands and has pride in its roots to the past. We want to help develop “homes”
for the residents that live here, through the creaƟon and maintenance of
neighborhoods. Each neighborhood will be equal in importance but separate in
its idenƟty. Our school system will play a major factor in the development of the
neighborhoods and will serve as the community center.
We want to help create harmony amongst all residents, where race and socio
economic differences play no factor. We want everyone to feel that their personal
safety is not at risk, whether they are at home or walking down the street.

Mission:
To provide assistance in attracting and retaining a diverse and highly qualified workforce.
Department Description:
The Human Resources Division is c o m p r i s e d o f t h e D i r e c t o r , B e n efits Coordinator and one part‐time
administrative support position. Personnel costs including wages , b e n e f i t s , a n d l i a b i l i t y i n s u r a n c e c o v e r a g e
comprise approximately 60% of the city’s budget. It is this division’s responsibility to administer the full range of
Human Resources activities including policy development, salary administration, recruitment/selection, employee
evaluation, training and development, personnel record retention and automation benefit administration,
coordination of discrimination/equal opportunity issues, participation in labor negotiations/employee relations,
evaluation of risk and improving employee safety and wellness.
Although Human Resources is a division focused on internal serv ice delivery, the department also has significant
contact with the public for general information relating to public records requests, employment inquiries, and
general city service delivery issues.
2017 Budget Highlights
The Human Resources Division will attempt to conduct services in the same manner and expense as 2016.
Budget allocation moved from the Advertising line item to Recruitment to reflect our strategy to attract
qualified candidates. Our effort is to create a constant contact and online presence. Attendance at job fairs and
coordination with other agencies continually places the City of Sun Prairie in the main stream. We no longer
expect applicants to find us after placing an advertisement but actively reach out to possible candidates.

y e a r s , a l o n g w i t h V o t e r I D . M a n y o f w h i c h h a v e b e e n h e l d i n j u n ction, stayed, and over turned. This required
training and retraining of the department staff, election worke rs and the public. Presidential elections face high
levels of scrutiny by the public and are a Constitutional Right held in high regard. The department takes its
responsibility of maintaining every voter’s rights very seriously.
The City Clerk’s Office worked with IT to develop the ability to deploy a Records Management and Minute Module.
Dog‐Licensing software will be deployed by the end of the year. The department worked with Finance on the new
receipting system and cash management system.
The conversion of the statewide data system also posed a significant challenge to the department. The
Government Accountability Board mandated this change statewide and required the conversion of data, quality
control checks and training on the new system.

Level of Assessment 102.13% 100.08% 99.59% 99.23% 92.40%* Level of Assessment
The Level of Assessment measures how close the total assessed value of the city is to market
value. The goal in a revaluation year is to be as close to 100% as possible. If the Level of
Assessment is above 100% the assessments as a whole are greater than market value. If the
Level of Assessment is below 100%, the assessments as a whole are less than market value.
While individual properties will vary, they typically fall within a reasonable range of the Level
of Assessment. An acceptable Level of Assessment is 90% ‐ 110% for any given year.

Mission:
Provide prompt, compassionate, clinically excellent care to all residents and visitors to the City of Sun Prairie.
Department Description:
As the mobile arm of emergency health service, our main role is to respond to emergency 911 calls and get
medical help to patients who have serious or life‐threatening injuries and/or illnesses quickly.
With primary responsibility of emergency 911 response, many subsequent responsibilities ensue. These include
mutual aid agreements to ensure adequate response regardless of Sun Prairie Emergency Medical Services
(SPEMS) availability, emergency preparedness and training, prov iding a presence for specific events such as
charity runs or athletics, and community education.
2017 Budget Highlights
Station Furniture Improvements
$1,400: New office chairs for all workstations at both stations. Most of the current offi ce chairs the paramedic
staff are using are worn beyond repair and have been in service since 2002.
$4,000: Replacement of mattresses in station bedrooms. Most of the mattresses, which are used nightly, have
been in the stations since 2004 and are well beyond their useful life. This has been a primary complaint by
department staff.

City of Sun Prairie 2017 Approved Budget
Emergency Medical Services City of Sun Prairie 2017 Annual Budget
Airway Mannequin Replacement
$5,000: Replacement of airway training mannequin. This is a critical training tool as the skillsets of airway
management techniques and procedures are the cornerstone of paramedic care. The current training
mannequins are either broken beyond repair or worn beyond usefulness.
Ballistic/Rescue Helmets
$3,200: Ballistic vests were procured in 2015. To complete the initiatives of outfitting paramedics with
comprehensive gear for response to, and training for, active‐shooter type incidents, head protection is
imperative. Additionally, these helmets also serve to replace the current fire helmets that paramedics use for
situations such as auto extrications.
Computer Driver’s License Scanners
$900: This is a piece of technology that attaches to the current patient care computers the paramedics use on
all calls. It allows for the scanning of drivers licenses to import key pieces of information such as name and date
of birth. The return on investment for these devices is immediate with reduction in spelling errors or incorrect
patient identification, which aids in accurate and timely billing for service.

Emergency Medical Services City of Sun Prairie 2017 Annual Budget
2016 Achievements:
A new labor agreement was negotiated with Local IAFF 311 and the City. This agreement is in effect until
December 2018.
The EMS Department was able to integrate multiple new pieces of equipment into the ambulance to help
reduce the amount and volume of physical lifting. This includes power cots that work in concert with a load
system that eliminates any lifting during the loading and unloading of patients.
With the introduction of the Sun Prairie Fire Department full‐time fire chief, the City’s Public Safety Departments
(Police, Fire, and EMS) have made incredible strides in public safety, improving the services and capabilities for
the visitors and citizens of Sun Prairie. The EMS Department is proud to be a part of this evolving and positive
environment through continued training and service collaboration.
Ballistic vests able to accommodate most body sizes were placed on each ambulance. A total of two vests are on
each ambulance, effectively allowing any duty paramedic to don the vest if necessary for any type of call
involving a high index of risk/suspicion for bodily harm. Additionally, EMS is actively working with the Sun Prairie
Police Department to implement a standard approach of response and rapid patient extrication from an active
shooter incident; commonly referred to as warm zone operations. It is well documented that these new
approaches to warm zone operations save lives.
The EMS Department has successfully completed an entire revision of our EMS Protocols. This document defines
all aspects of patient care in regards to medications, procedures, and care decisions.
Dr. Ben Hecht from the Madison Emergency Physician Group started as the Department’s EMS Medical Director
in January 2016. The Director has been integral to quality improvement initiatives.

reliable maintenance of City fleet and equipment, and ensuring residents receive accurate and timely service
information.
Financial Summary:
The Public Works Administration summary is included in the financial summary for all of Public Works that follows
the budget narratives.
2016 Achievements:
Public Works restructured the department over the last two years. The department returned to a Parks and
Forestry Supervisor and a Streets and Storm Water Supervisor. Public Works also eliminated the Streets and
Storm Water Crew leader position, allowing an additional person to complete daily job tasks. This transition has
gone well and staff morale is improving.

maintenance, snow and ice removal for City streets, traffic control, storm water facility maintenance, affording
safe and reliable maintenance of the City fleet and equipment, and ensuring residents receive accurate and timely
information about services.
Department Description:
Staff work in functional division areas of snow and ice, traffi c control, street maintenance, refuse and recycling
and are paid from labor pool wages. Equipment includes patrol trucks, front‐end loaders, chippers, pick‐up trucks
and skid loaders. Equipment enables staff to complete service functions.
2017 Budget Highlights
The 2017 budget allocates staff time between multiple funds to reflect work effort.
Financial Summary:
The Public Works Operations summary is included in the financial summary for all of public works that follows the

2016 Achievements:
As the City continues to grow, the number of street miles increase and the existing infrastructure continues to
age, increasing the maintenance needs. Public Works continues to look for new technology and better
equipment to maintain more, while not increasing the number of staff.
Public Works changed the type of work staff completes versus contracting to private vendors. Instead of City
employees completing small amounts of cutouts and repaving, which is very labor intensive and inefficient,
public Works entered a contract for that service. This allowed Public Works staff to increase focus on crack filling
and spray patching, resulting in the completion of about 25% more work per year for about the same cost.

equipment to maintain more, while not increasing the number of staff in over 9 years.
Public Works has switched the amount of Chip sealing completed and reduced the amount of slurry seal as chip
sealed streets are proving to last approximately four to seven years longer than slurry sealed streets. The result
is delayed street reconstruction.

Engineering Department City of Sun Prairie 2017 Annual Budget
2017 Budget Highlights
The 2017 Engineering Department budget includes an initiative to replace an aging Robotic Total Station. This
piece of surveying equipment is 10 years old, which means it lacks the latest technology available in newer
models. Extending the use of this equipment beyond 10 years could lead to repairs that could be cost‐
prohibitive and could leave the Department without a vital piece of equipment.
In the Capital Improvement Plan, the Engineering Department recommended $7.4 million in street
reconstruction in 2017. This proposal addresses the reconstruction of approximately 18,000 lineal feet of public
street. This amount is greater than the linear feet completed in prior years but falls short of the average of
approximately 25,000 lineal feet required to keep pace with the street reconstruction responsibilities of the City.
Engineering staff and contractor effort are required to support these street projects.
Additionally, the engineering department will be conducting a traffic study at the O’Keeffe and Linnerud
intersection to determine if signals should be installed.

Performance Measures:
Goal: Long‐term Financial Stability: Provide engineering services for City sponsored Capital Improvement
Projects that result in the construction of well‐designed projects at a competitive cost.
Strategies:
1. To enhance the opportunity for competitive bidding, advertise for bids on as many contracts as
possible by March 31st .
2. Provide project designs and construction oversight that extends the life of the infrastructure
improvements and provides for an enhanced quality of life for the general public.
3. Continue to monitor new technology and materials to ensure construction of new infrastructure at
the highest industry standards and meet or exceed the City’s Standard Specifications.

2. Designs & Construction Oversight Measurements:
Properly designed projects should result in an expected life expectancy that meets or exceeds industry
standards. Improperly designed projects will provide fewer years of service, and most will likely have higher
maintenance costs associated with them. The City is consistently seeing streets lasting 25 to 30 years. An
example of this is Wilburn Road between N. Bristol Street and Corporate Center Drive. This segment was
originally constructed in 1988. The 2017 capital improvement plan proposes to include this street as a
Pavement Rehabilitation project. This street is subjected to truck traffic as well as passenger car traffic and the
pavement life has extended to 29 years. This serves a good example of the benefits of a quality design backed
up by good construction oversight.
3. Technology & Materials Measurements:
Staying up to date on the latest technology and materials introduced each year can have significant benefits.
Newly introduced design software provides benefits in providing faster applications, as well as increased accuracy.
Newer construction materials provide extended life as compared to older versions of the same. The Engineering
Department reviews the latest software and materials to confirm that they are a good fit for our City.
The Engineering Department has made good use of the technology upgrades. The Department now utilizes
surveying equipment that offers time saving and accuracy benefits.

The Engineering Department has had productive discussions with Sun Prairie Utilities (SPU) regarding potential
changes in water main installation specifications. The Engineering Department is encouraging SPU to consider the
u s e o f p l a s t i c w a t e r m a i n a s a p i l o t p r o j e c t . C u r r e n t l y S P U o nly allows ductile iron pipe for use in public
applications. The Engineering Department is also discussing the concept of requiring all ductile watermain to be
encased in a polyethylene wrap. The wrap is intended to protect the pipe from corrosive soils that can cause pipes
to fail prematurely. The cost for the polyethylene wrap is quite minimal, so it serves as an added safeguard at a
reasonable price. Adding this provision to the SPU watermain specifications should provide added assurance that
the product will reach its anticipated life span.
Goal: Continue to update the City’s Street Reconstruction Program to include the streets in greatest need of
repair while considering utility upgrade needs.
Strategies:
Continue to work with the utility owners to assure that their needs are incorporated in Street
Reconstruction Schedules. Meet with the utility owners annually to assure long‐term plans reflect
their needs.
Complete field ratings of street conditions to categorize existing streets as either Total Street
Reconstruction or Pavement Rehabilitation projects. Revisit street evaluations periodically to
account for any changes in their conditions.
Overlay pedestrian needs with the proposed street and utility needs of each project considered
for construction.

The 2016 Capital Improvement Projects included the requested utility upgrades to the wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) and Sun Prairie (SP) Utilities. Again in 2016 the S. Bird Street Reconstruction Project included the
replacement of an undersized interceptor sewer that existed within the project limits. The Total Reconstruction
project on E. Klubertanz Drive and Werner Court included the replacement of an old cast iron water main that
had been subject to frequent breaks. By jointly planning the replacement of street and utility improvements the
public can enjoy fewer interruptions in service and reduced construction costs.
The City recognizes the need for providing pedestrian accommodations and values their importance. In 2016
there were nine street construction projects that included pedestrian components. Sidewalks and/or bike path
improvements were components of the S. Bird Street, E. Klubertanz Drive, Harvest Lane, Hanley Drive, Park
Street, Market Street, Sunfield Street, CTH C, and Clarmar Drive construction projects. These improvements link
neighborhoods and provide travel alternatives to city residents.

Goal: Play a prominent role in the management of the City’s Storm Water Utility (SWU). In 2016 the City
invested in a Five Year Financial Management Plan. The SWU also funded a Rate Case Study, providing
additional guidance for the management of the Utility. In 2017 the Engineering Department will use the
Financial Management Plan and Rate Case Study to help steer the SWU into long‐term financial stability.
Strategies:
Continue with regular scheduled staff meetings attended by the Public Works, Finance, and
Administration Departments.
Increase the regularity in which financial reports are provided to the Public Works Committee.
Increase Elected Officials awareness of issues that impact the SWU. Use the City’s website, local
media, and the Clock Tower News, and other avenues to connect with the public on Utility related
issues.

Phosphorus reduction in stormwater runoff is the newest challenge facing municipalities, and this challenge will
require significant financial commitments. Staff needs to get this message out to the public in a manner that is
easily understood and appreciated. The City’s participation in the adaptive management program sponsored by
the Yahara Watershed Improvement Network (WINs) is a long‐term project to meet the phosphorus reduction
requirement.
The City’s discharge of stormwater is a permitted right by the State DNR. The City’s Stormwater Permit is issued
through our participation in the MAMSWaP (Madison Area Municipal Stormwater Partnership) group which has
an extensive Information & Education program. Through this affiliation, the promotion and sale of rain barrels is
offered, along with training opportunities for the proper use and allocation of road salt. In 2017 staff will
explore options for adding to the outreach program with the intentions of promoting the importance of proper
stormwater management.

Re: Request for Municipal Support
On behalf of the Colonial Club Senior Activity Center, I respectfully submit the enclosed request
for funding for 2016. As in past years, we appreciate the support you have given to the Colonial
Club and hope you will look favorably on our request.
The year of service for 2014 again shows demand for services and support for older adults and
their families steadily increasing as the chart below spells out. We saw big increases in the Adult
Day Center and Supportive Home Care usage. In two areas, there were slight decreases – case
management and transportation. With the recent addition of the Aging & Disability Resource
Center of Dane County, officials expected our case management numbers to be impacted, as the
ADRC took on the role of information and referrals specialists for Dane County. The ADRC
does short term (90 days or less) support and refers the more challenging, longer term support to
our case managers. With transportation, we were forced to park one of our buses because it was
no longer safe to drive. Consequently, we had one less vehicle to provide this service.

As in years past, we cannot always fully explain the reason(s) behind service delivery increases
or decreases. However, we do know, for example, that in 2014 we received a small special one-
time grant to focus on improvements with our on-site congregate meal. It’s safe to assume that
those efforts increased our overall meal numbers by nearly 900. Similarly, with one bus parked
due to safety concerns, we did not have the same amount of vehicles to transport people, so it’s
not surprising to see transportation miles decrease.
With aging vehicles and an aging building we are currently facing multiple capital improvement
needs for 2016. We came up with an extensive list of projects and prioritized the following three
items:
Restrooms – Since our building (all three sections) was built prior to 1992 and the Americans
with Disabilities Act, none of the restrooms are fully ADA compliant. We simply cannot go any
longer without bathroom renovations. Estimated costs: $45,000
Insulation – The oldest front two sections of the building are in dire need of insulation. Since
1970, the insulation has simply fallen away due to age, leaks, and installation of various types of
wiring for phones, computers, etc. On the coldest days of the year, office temperatures fall to 45
degrees overnight. Estimated costs: $80,000
A grant was written to the Dane County Community Block Development Commission for
$87,931 to help support the restroom/insulation project. It was recommended for full funding
and awaits final approval from the Dane County Board of Supervisors. We will still need over
$37,000 to complete these projects.
92
City of Sun Prairie 2017 Approved Budget
Vehicles – We currently own 2 buses & 1mini-van for our transportation services. One of the
buses, as mentioned earlier, has been parked. The other bus has over 143,000 miles and the van
over 188,000. Both are in the shop on a regular basis. Estimated costs for two vehicles (1 bus,
1 minivan, both handicap accessible): $95,000
We also recently submitted a grant to the Madison Area Transportation Planning
Board. This “5310” grant would allow us to purchase a vehicle through their
inventory with the grant paying for 80% and we would have to come up with the
remaining 20% or about $10,800. We received word on September 16 that our request
has been initially approved for $43,200. We would still need $10,800 to complete the
bus purchase and another $45,000 for a mini-van.
While the Colonial Club is a private 501c3 organization, we operate like a community center,
serving people of all ages and groups of all size. In 2014, 868 people swiped their cards upon
entry into the Colonial Club to register for classes, activities and events a total of 20,839 times.
This only includes people who take the time to get a card and use it; many people either don’t get
a card or forget to register. This also does not include all the many meetings, activities and
events that aren’t official Colonial Club events such as:
We serve as host site for the weekly Sun Prairie Rotary Club meetings
We serve as host site for the annual Optimist breakfast
Christ Fellowship Church utilizes our building every Sunday
We offer MATC courses to people of all ages
We are an anonymous safe site for a domestic violence program
We host an annual holiday breakfast for a group of developmentally challenged youth
We work with Sun Prairie Parks & Recreation to host classes here
Multiple groups meet here weekly, including Weight Watchers, Alcoholics Anonymous
& Overeaters Anonymous
We have served as a summer location for the YMCA
We are a Sun Prairie voting site
We host a variety of support groups (grief, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc.)
(None of the people attending these events show up on our usage information data).
This is not a complete list, but it’s fair to say we’re a busy center that must make these capital
improvement projects happen in 2016. Without your support of the Colonial Club and the
services that we provide to the residents of the City of Sun Prairie, we would not be able to
sustain the level of service provision that we do.
We are requesting level funding for next year, along with a one-time increase of $25,000 to help
with our 2016 capital improvement projects.

2016 Achievements: Recreation Administration
I n t e r n e t r e g i st r a t i o n s f o r r e c r e a t i o n p r o g r a m s h a v e i n c r e a s e d from 42% to 80% in the past five year
period due to changes initiated by the Recreation Department.
We restructured the registration process for adult softball in 2016. In addition to making the process
more convenient for our customers, the change created efficiencies for the department.
We collaborated with the Piranhas Parent Booster Club again this year to make the swim team
registration process easier and more efficient for participants, the Booster Club and the Department.
We continued to use electronic surveys to evaluate programs. The addition of electronic surveys has
increased evaluation response rate significantly, which assists us greatly with program planning and
development.
We continue to use a variety of venues to promote our programs, services and facilities, including
social media, the City’s website, local news outlets, email communications to our Activenet customer
database, the Sun Prairie Cable Access Channel and more.
2016 Achievements: Recreation Services
The Recreation Department offered a wide variety of recreational opportunities in 2016. Program
enrollment and participant satisfaction continues to be high as measured by written participant
program evaluations, electronic program evaluations, verbal feedback, observation of staff and high
enrollment numbers.
Participation in youth and adult sports programs continues to be strong. Our Basic Archery Instruction
program introduced in 2015 grew in 2016. In addition to fee based programming, we offered two free
youth baseball opportunities including the MLB Pitch, Hit, and Run program and a Madison Mallards

participants. Both programs were well attended, with 30 youth pa r t i c i p a t i n g i n t h e P i t c h , H i t & R u n
event and 250 youth participating in the Mallards Baseball Clin ic. The Mallards Baseball organization
reported that the clinic hosted in Sun Prairie attracted more participants than any other clinic in 2016.
A number of enrichment programs ranging from art classes to science programs were offered, with
strong enrollment levels. We strive to offer programs for a variety of ages and interests and continually
seek opportunities to offer new programs, as demonstrated by new enrichment offerings in 2016.
Examples include Painter’s Palette classes for youth, adults and families, Bricks 4 Kids camps and
nature education programs.
We continued our fitness class offerings for both youth and adu lts with excellent participation. A few
of our new classes include WERQ and TRX Blend.
Concerts in the Park were a great success again this year. A program format that includes family

Performance Measures:
The Planning Division has recently begun tracking performance through metrics to measure the Division’s
effectiveness with respect to its recommendations to the Plan Commission and the Division’s responsiveness to
applicants that submit projects for review.
Effectiveness: The following table illustrates the effectiveness of staff’s recommendations to the Plan
Commission. This reflects the actions of the Plan Commission only, and not the final decision made by the
City Council on applications. Since 2013, more than 90 percent of staff recommendations have been either
upheld, or upheld but modified in some way through the removal or addition of conditions. So far in 2015,
all of staff’s recommendations have been followed by the Commission, with about 11% of those being
modified in some way.

Community Development (Planning) City of Sun Prairie 2017 Annual Budget
Timeliness – Staff Reviews: Many applications submitted to the Planning Division for review each year are
items reviewed at the staff level and do not go to the Plan Commission and City Council for resolution. The
Zoning Ordinance suggests that such reviews should be completed in 10 or fewer working days. Completion
is defined as either an approval or comments provided to the applicant on corrections or missing items
needed to secure approval.
Through July of 2016, staff has averaged 6.2 work days for full approval of such items.
Timeliness – Zoning Permit Reviews: Since 2014, the Planning Division has been issuing zoning permits
for all new buildings, building additions, changes of use and site changes such as parking lot expansions. The
Division’s goal is to review and issue permits in less than three days so as not to cause significant delays for
builders and developers. The average review time in 2015 was 1.84 workdays and in 2014 it was 1.97
workdays. Through August 2016, the Division has reviewed a total of 132 zoning permits with an average
review time of 2.02 workdays. Of those, 12 were reviews that took between 5 and 18 days due to missing
information on the part of the applicant. Excluding those 12 permits, the Division averaged 1.31 workdays
per application, with 34 of them issued the same day they were filed.
2016 Achievements:
In 2016, the Division coordinated and presented a significant update to the Westside Traffic Impact Fee
Program, including a fee increase of about 2%.
Through the end of July 2016, the Division has reviewed a total of 93 development applications and
concept plans. In the same time period, 132 zoning permits were reviewed. The following table provides
a history of caseload activity since 2000:

the ordinance up to date and relevant; including: updated parking standards for new apartment
developments; floodplain ordinance amendments; amendments related to dog day care and household
animal boarding facilities; and code amendments to streamline the initiation of ordinance amendments
and minor land divisions.
Division staff is working on several long-term projects, including the reinstitution of the Façade
Improvement Grant program, updates to the City’s sign and landscaping ordinances, and converting the
standards contained in the Business Park Covenants to City ordinance standards.

electrical installations and maintenance and plumbing at City facilities.
2017 Budget Highlights:
An increase in the training budget of $1,550 on an annual basis, to ensure that Division staff receives
adequate training and education to remain effective in the field. This initiative would increase the
training budget from $1,650 to $3,200.
A request for a one‐time allocation of $1,600 for the purchase of new shelving and tables to assist with
the organization of plan sets and plan review. The Division is currently lacking in this area and it affects
the efficiency and performance of staff.
Funding for a full time plumbing inspector to meet the requirement to have a fully licensed plumbing

Mission:
To provide clean, secure, and well‐maintained buildings at all City of Sun Prairie facilities.
Division Description:
The Building Maintenance Division provides building maintenance and repairs at several municipal facilities,
including City Hall, the West Side Community Service Building, both Fire/EMS facilities, the Library, the City Service
Center and the Historical Museum. It is also responsible for snow removal from sidewalks and walkways at five of
these facilities. In the past, the Division also maintained the grounds at these facilities. Recent operational changes
have moved all grounds work to the Public Works Department, and all building repairs and maintenance to the
Building Maintenance Division. Following are examples of the services provided by the Building Maintenance
Division:
Coordinate city building janitorial services.
Maintain HVAC equipment temperature control systems.
Maintain plumbing fixtures and associated systems.
Maintain electrical fixtures, lamps, ballasts, and associated wiring.
Maintain security systems.
Maintain generator systems at three city locations.

Community Development (Building Maintenance) City of Su n Prairie 2017 Annual Budget
2017 Budget Highlights:
An $9,825 initiative for required inspections of the fire sprinkler systems at five City facilities. These
detailed inspections are required every five years, and are currently overdue.
A $5,000 initiative to repair/replace the concrete steps and rails at the entrance to the East Fire Station
to address safety and code issues.
A $14,800 initiative to purchase an ATV with snow removal and salt spreader accessories to assist with
snow removal at City facilities.
The budget includes funding for a seasonal LTE position to assist with snow removal and light
maintenance tasks.
Most of the seating at City Hall is the original equipment purchased when the building opened in 1993,
and is showing its age. A $28,610 initiative will replace approximately half the chairs in the building.
Individual office chairs are excluded from this initiative.
City Hall has one handicap assisted entrance door at the north entrance to the main lobby. However,
there is no assisted entry to the Council Chambers or to the Police Department entrance on Main Street
– the only after‐hours entry to the building. An initiative of $10,000 will correct these problems.
The Division has plans to update/paint much of City Hall in the coming years to improve the work
environment for employees and visitors. The stairwells at the northeast and northwest corners of the
building present a bigger challenge. The Division will contract this work to a professional painting
company that will have the proper equipment to complete the project. The estimated cost is $5,000 for
both stairwells.
An initiative of $2,500 to modify and repair a first floor air handling unit at the East Fire Department.
This will result in more efficient control over heating and cooling of facility space.
An $1,100 increase in the small tools budget to build an inventory of tools for use. Division staff have
been using their own personal tools to complete many tasks, which is not be an acceptable practice.
