Mission Statement
To provide valuable, responsive, and cost-effecƟve services that enable residents
to enjoy a high quality of life.
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.

Significant Achievement – Provide Trust and Transparency in Elections
The City Clerk hosted a Wisconsin Technology Project Session for the National Conference of State Legislators.
The session was comprised of representative from the State Senate, Assembly, Reference Bureau, Legal
Counsel, Government Accountability Board, County and Municipal Clerks. The morning session was used to
showcase the technology that we use in Sun Prairie, as well as a demonstration of the administration of
security and accountability requirements of the State Stat
utes.
Significant Achievement – Technology
The Clerk’s Office worked with IT to develop the ability to scan a driver license so the data will automatically
populate into the form or database. This will be implemented for the fall elections and hopefully will then be
implemented for licensing databases in 2015.

The Public Safety Support Specialist position was eliminated in late 2009. As we see from the chart above, the
number of support tickets in the Police Department dropped significantly in the following year, 2010. Tickets
then increased each year through 2013 as the IT Department focused more resources on public safety.

Reduce time per support ticket to average level
Minutes per ticket has increased significantly in 2014 because of the number of enterprise projects
undertaken. We need to better schedule these projects so that year by year they are spread out. This is
important as the time we spend working on enterprise projects is time not spent working on end‐user
problems and requests.
Improve Transparency
2015 Achievements:
The Firewall hardware was updated to a newer technology product (Meraki). The upgrade in firewall
allowed the Museum to connect to the city network via a VPN connection. This included both their

system, and design a plan to maintain the system moving forward. The employees were unaware of
any changes to the back‐up system and no data has been lost.
The GIS Coordinator implem
ented ESRI ArcGIS Online Story maps.
Aided in the development and rollout of the new City of Sun Prairie Website. Staff provided aid in
training and development of the site along with the movement from our prior host to the new host

Police City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Department Description:
Administration Four command level officers that lead the police department. The police chief is
responsible for directing the operations of the organization with the help of the assistant
police chief. A lieutenant leads the patrol division, a unit that provides policing services
24 hours a day, every day. A lieutenant leads the support services operation, which
consists of police records, dispatch, cour
t and property services, task force and the
detective bureau. An administrative assistant provides support.
Patrol Around the clock policing carried out by 30 officers, seven sergeants, two school liaison
officers and a community service officer. A lieutenant leads the division.
Detective Bureau Four detectives, supervised by the detective / task force sergeant, that provide police
response to complex, time consuming and serious police investigations. Staff collects
evidence at crime scenes, conducts extensive interviews, makes complicated legal
charging decisions and works closely with the district attorney’s office. An
evidence/court officer is housed in this department and next year’ s budget includes
splitting that position into two, with the incumbent becoming an evidence officer and a
records secretary becoming the court officer.
Dispatch Twenty‐four hour a day radio dispatching for police and fire staff that provide an around
the clock contact point for citizens wishing to reach city government. The dispatch center
accomplishes several tasks related to the city’s public safety function, including
monitoring alarms, cameras and accessing local databases. The dispatch supervisor is
responsible for eight full time
dispatchers. It is recognized that some adjustments are
needed in the interest of risk management, particularly when only one dispatcher is on
duty. Therefore, the department must seriously consider adding dispatch staff or
transferring risk (911 calls and fire dispatch) to the county communications center, which
will be an upcoming policy related decision.
Records A full time staff of six is led by a records supervisor. The group is charged with typing and
processing police related records, which includes police reports. Staff also assists in
carrying out a variety of tasks, open records processing, social media management,
citizen fingerprinting, license and permit processing, staffing service windows and
backing up municipal cour
t duties and property duties.
Task Force A group of five officers supervised by the detective / task force sergeant that are
responsible for problem solving policing efforts in identified challenged neighborhoods.
This set of officers work closely with property owners / managers and other third party
groups in an effort to address criminal behavior and behavior that has a negative impact
on the quality
of life for Sun Prairie residents. These officers also assist vigorously with
pattern crimes and high profile serious criminal acts. Additional task force duties include
crime prevention services, second hand dealer ordinance compliance, sex offender
tracking and drug and gang intervention.
Community Policing A section of the department’s budget intended to provide the resources required for a
community policing. The funds allow for the purchase of equipment used in duty
assignments that serve the community, like the honor guard and the special events
team. Funds are used for the Citizen Academy, also. This section purchases ite ms for high
profile events, such as National Night Out and Corn Festival.
Crossing Guards The city contracts with All City Management Services for 13 crossing guards that are
stationed throughout the community with the purpose of ensuring students are safe.

Emergency Management City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Mission:
The Sun Prairie Emergency Management Team pledges to plan, prepare, and respond to disasters so that our
community can most effectively protect lives and property.
Department Description:
The city has established an Emergency Management Team consisting of the police chief, fire chief, emergency
medical services director, and the assistant police chief. This group is working toward achieving disaster
preparedness, with an emphasis on a very functional EOC for protective services leaders, city administration,
and city department leaders to use during emer gency events, and planned large scale events.
2016 Budget Highlights:
The EOC review subsequent to the June activation continued pre‐existing radio communications difficulties.
The desk top radios that EOC participants use to monitor actions in the field are capable of being programmed
to only one frequency. So, for example if the radios are programmed to the police frequency, EMS, public
works, and fire staff coul
d not monitor radio transmissions by their personnel on their respective frequencies.

Emergency Management City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
2015 Achievements:
In June of 2014, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was opened for the first time due to a severe
wind event in our community. Decision‐makers used the space to manage staff and assets in the field. A
review of the event was completed afterward by staff that actually used the room so that improvements
could be
made.
The EOC received several broad technology upgrades, to include monitors that can be attached to a
computer. One example of their use is that commanders in the EOC can view dispatch CAD and to
physically see the actions and locations of staff in the community. Televisions were installed so that EOC
participants can view news and weather broadcasts.
The EMT group is in the process of completing a hazard mitigation plan as a part of an overall county‐wide
effort to create a plan. The plan will address steps that can be taken by the City to help limit da mage from
natural disasters.

Fire Department City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Mission:
Our mission as the Sun Prairie Volunteer Fire Department (SPVFD) is to deliver the highest professional service
to our community by protecting life, property, and the environment. We carry out these functions by
providing courteous and effective responses through quality training with the highest standards of integrity
and performance. In partnership with our community we strive for excellence through prevention and
educa
tion.
Department Description:
The Sun Prairie Fire Department is contracted by the City of Sun Prairie to deliver 24/7 fire service in the
community. Services include emergency response, fire prevention, fire education, and assistance to Sun
Prairie Emergency Medical Services Department (SP EMS) and Sun Prairie Police Department (SPPD). The
SPVFD district covers the City of Sun Prairie, and Townships of Burke, Bristol, and Sun Prairie. With an annual
call volume of over 1,000 calls, a service distri
ct of approximately 96 square miles and over 42,000 residents,
the SPVFD operates out of two stations located within the City.
After the 2014 Fire Department Review & Assessment by McGrath Consulting, the SPVFD has proceeded with
many of the recomm
endations for the future of fire protection. In late 2015, the SPVFD will be concluding the
hiring process for a career Fire Chief.
2016 Budget Highlights:
Personnel
The newly hired Fire Chief will be in place for the start of 2016.
Wages for volunteer Chiefs have been reduced due to a decreased demand for their time
Career Firefighters will receive an identical increase in pay as City employees
Night Staffing Program funds have increased due to deployment of the program for the full year.

Replacement of Ladder 1
In accordance with fire standards, the SPVFD will begin the replacement process for the City’s 1991 Pierce 100’
Aerial Platform due to its age and increasing maintenance costs, which attribute to out of service time.
Automatic External Defibrillators (AED)
The SPVFD will be replacing its existing AED’s based on a recommendation from SP EMS due to the in ability to
get parts or service. Fire standards also dictate the availability of an AED on fire apparatus.

Emergency Medical Services City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
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 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 EMS (SPEMS)
availability, emergency preparedness and trainin
g, providing a presence for specific events such as charity runs
or athletics, and community education.
2016 Budget Highlights:
Replacement Ambulance and Patient Load System: For 5 years, the EMS department has strategically
implemented a step‐by‐step process to get to a point where patient lifting is minimized as much as possible.
This is done with power ambulance cots that work with an ambulance load system that eliminates lifting while
raising and lowering the cot; and loading/unloading the patient from the ambulance. Each ambulance
replacement over the last two cycles has been manufactured with a spe
cified sub‐floor to allow for the
installation of a load system. Additionally, power cots were introduced to the department three years ago
(specifically compatible with the entire load system). This year, with the request of a new ambulance
(remount to save cost), in collaboration with fleet maintenance, we are re
questing the installation of the load
systems. With the cost savings of a remount ambulance, we are able to achieve the acquisition of the load
systems at the actual cost of a new ambulance.
LTE Paramedic Wage Increase: Wages for our LTE Paramedics have not been increased in over 6 years.
Initially, the hourly pay for this group was determined by the base wage for the FTE Paramedics during their
first year of establishing a labor agreement. The wages for Sun Prairie are no longer competitive and the EMS
Department is finding it much more difficult to recruit quality candidates to serve in the LTE capacity . A survey
was completed for wages in the area for municipal providers. With that data, we are requesting a wage
increase of hourly pay from $14.51 to $17.50, which will increase the annual budget for LTE hourly pay by
$17,495.43.

Mission:
The mission of the City Engineering Department is to manage the development and maintenance of the City’s
infrastructure in a fiscally prudent and professional manner.
Department Description:
The Engineering Department provides a wide array of municipal engineering services. Because of the relatively
small size of our staff, Department members are required to be well diversified in both office and field related
responsibilities. The following is a description of some of the services provided by our Department.
Develop construction schedules and cost esti mates for Total Street Reconstruction, Pavement
Rehabilitation, Sidewalk Installation Program, and the Storm Sewer Extension Programs. This allows
the City to plan for the timing and financing of these projects.
Design and develop construction documents for the City’s Total Street Reconstruction, Pavement
Rehabilitation, Sidewalk Installation Program, and the Storm Sewer Ext ension Programs. Properly
designed and constructed projects can result in a longer life for improvements and lower maintenance
costs.

developments and subdivisions.
Collect, distribute, report, and maintain records of public infrastructure improvements
Provide engineering support for other City Departments
Provide engineering oversight for the City’s Stormwater Utility

of $2,200. It’s been nearly 10‐years since a new level was requested. The proposed budget also includes
upgrades to the Department’s stormwater modeling software. The upgrade will allow staff to perform more
detailed stormwater modeling in‐house; advancing our ability to size storm sewer collection and conveyance
improvements associated with street reconstruction projects.
The list of proposed street reconstruction projects also reflects an increase in funding. Including the street,
storm sewer, water main, and sanitary sewer costs, the 2016 list of streets tallies approximately $8.5 Million.
Of this total, nearly $3.5 Million is for storm sewer and water main
improvements. When factoring in the
increase in private development, it has all the makings of another busy year for our Department.
Priority: Long‐term Financial Stability
Goal: Provide engineering services for City sponsored Capital Improvement Projects that result in well‐
designed projects that are constructed at a competitive cost.
Strategies:
To enhance the opportunity for competitive bidding, the Department shall advertise for bids for as
many Contracts as possible by March 31st.
Provide project designs that extend the life of the infrastructure improvements and provide for an
enhanced quality of life for the general public.
Provide construction observations that ensure that the new infrastructure improvements are
constructed to the highest standards of the industry and meet or exceed the City’s Standard
Specifications
.
Measurements:
* Two grant funded projects were actually advertised for bids in December of 2014.
Staff has long since realized that contracts that are advertised for bid early in the year are most likely to attract
the most bidders; resulting in the more competitive bid. Typically the goal for our Department is to have
projects advertised for bids prior to the end of March;
with bid openings preferably occurring before the end
of the month. If projects are not identified and approved early in the budget process; this goal most likely
won’t be met.
Properly designed projects should result in an expected life expect ancy 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 best designed projects can begin to fail prematurely when they’re not constructed to the required
specifications. Full ‐time inspection during the construction of the new improvements will provide assurances
that the completed project will function as designed and expected.
Priority: Long‐term Financial Stability
Goal: Continue to update the City’s Street Reconstruction Program to include the streets in greatest need of
repair, while considering the needs for utility upgrades.
Strategies:
Continue to work with the utility owners to assure that their needs are incorporated in the most
up to date five and ten‐year Street Reconstruction Schedules. Meet with the utility owners
annually to assure that their most up to date needs are reflected in the long‐term plans.
Complete field ratings of street conditions to properl
y 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.
Measurements:
The list of Capital Improvement Projects in 2015 included the requested utility upgrades to the WWTP and SP
Utilities. Again in 2015 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 Maple Street
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 Engineering Department has developed a grading system to assist in determining whether streets can be
considered for the Pavement Rehabilitation meth
od of construction. Staff inspect each street and assess
points for a variety of categories, including curb & gutter condition, utility needs, street widths, and the
consideration for pedestrian accommodations. Streets that accumulate 5 or more points are typically not
considered good candidates for the Pavement Rehabilitation form of reconstruction.
The City re
cognizes the need for providing pedestrian accommodations and values their importance. In 2015
there were six street construction projects that included pedestrian components. There were also two

standalone pedestrian projects completed, consisting of the Hoepker bike trail and the SRTS sidewalk
installations on Walmar, North, and W. MacArthur Street. Sidewalks and/or bikepath improvements were also
components of the S. Bird Street, Beech Street, Tower Drive, Maple Street, Martin Street, and Hillcrest Drive
Total Street Reconstruction projects. While not always popular, these improvements link neighborhoods and
provide travel alternatives to the 30% of our popula
tion that does not drive.
Priority: Long‐term Financial Stability
Goal: The Engineering Department plays a prominent role in the management of the City’s Storm Water
Utility. In 2015 the Engineering Department made some advancement in increasing the awareness of
the Utility’s operations to other staff members. In 2016 the Department will continue our efforts to
engage our Elected Officials and promote the benefits the Utility provides to the community.
Strategies:
Continue with the regular scheduled staff meetings attended by the Public Works, Finance, and
Administration Departments.
Provide quarterly reports on financial matters and project updates to the Public Works Committee.
Use the City’s website, local media, and the Clock Tower News, and other avenues to connect with
the public on Utility related issues.
Measurements:
The number of SWU Staff Meetings dropped off considerably starting in 2012. Changes in Administration,
Finance, and Engineering Departments may partially explain this. More recently, staff have been able to
reintroduce scheduling this meeting on a more regular basis.
In the last two quarters of 2015, staff will begin the process of providing quarterly updates to the Publi
c Works
Committee. This practice was proposed as part of a past budget; but was not carried through with. Staff
intends to accomplish this moving forward.
Promoting the SWU and the projects the Utility undertakes has long since been a goal for staff. Years ago the
Utility helped sponsor a video that helped explain
to the public the importance of proper stormwater
management. Annually, staff places signs at prominent locations promoting the importance of properly
discarding the leaves that fall. The City is also a part of the MAMSWaP (Madison Area Municipal Stormwater
Partnership) group which has an extensive Information & Education program. Through th is affiliation, the
promotion and sale of rain barrels is offered, along with training opportunities for the proper use and
allocation of road salt. In 2016 staff will explore options for adding to the outreach program with the
intentions of promoting the importance of proper stor mwater management.

Public Library City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
2016 Budget Highlights:
Full‐Time Teen Services Librarian
One of the largest growing demographics in Sun Prairie is our youth population. The school district
population is 41,249. The Sun Prairie area school district has a total student enrollment of 7,837. 3,869
are teens attending our middle and high schools.
Our youth population is also the demographic in which we are realizing the grea test ethnic and
socioeconomic diversity. Our first area of concern is service to teens.
A full‐time Teen Librarian would bring Sun Prairie up to par with our local peer libraries. An expansion of
Teen Services will allow us to better meet the academic, intellectual, recreational, and cult ural needs of
our teen and young adult residents and in turn build a stronger and healthier socioeconomic future for
the City of Sun Prairie. In addition, a full‐time Teen Services Librarian would significantly help in realizing
our current gaps in service, including professional assistance at the Information Desk, supervision on
weekends and evenings, community outreach, tee
n volunteering, and teen mentoring opportunities.
Collection Budget
As new technologies continue to emerge, patrons need and look for materials in a variety of formats.
The Sun Prairie Public Library has three widely used and popular collections that are not currently
funded by the City’s collection budget.
Overdrive is the library’s collection of e‐books, e‐audio books, and e‐video. As patrons read and listen to
books in a variety of medi
a, the library strives to provide materials in a variety of formats and our
Overdrive collection allows us to meet this electronic need. The cost to maintain this collection is
$11,000.
We also have a collection of subscription reference databases. Th is database collection serves the
public with vetted academic, consumer, health, genealogical, vocational, language, and financial
information. These databases allow us to offer high quality reference resources. The cost to maintain
this collection is $8,000.
The library also maintains the “Buzz Book” collection. The Buzz Book Collection is a collecti on of high‐
demand print books. This collection began in 2012 as a pilot project. Prior to developing the Buzz Book
collection, patrons would need to place holds on high‐demand items and would often wait six months to
a year to receive the requested book. With the Buzz Book collection in place, the library is able to
purchase multiple copies of high‐demand items. These books only circulate to and from the Sun Prairie
Public Library which allows us to fulfill the needs of our local library patrons in a much more timely
fashion. The popularity of this collection has grown significan tly and has become a fundamental part of
our print collection. Without adequate funding for this collection, we will not be able to meet the needs
of our patrons’ for these high‐demand print titles. The cost to maintain this collection is $7,000.
Professional Development
The third area of concern is professional development. In order to maintain a high level of service in a
rapidly changing work environment, Library staff will need training opportunities. A careful analysis of
the Library’s workflow and efficiencies, as well as team building and customer service workshops is
critical to understanding how we can better serve our Library patrons and community. Funding these
initiatives may result in highly efficient work flow, increased staff morale, and excellence in customer
service.

2015 ACHIEVEMENTS:
Despite the challenges we face, the Sun Prairie Public Library maintains a high level of service to its community.
Below is a list of some of the Library’s proud moments:
Sent withdrawn materials to Better World Books for reuse. This environmentally friendly activity has
generated roughly $300 in revenue every year since it’s initiation in 2006 and the estimation is that 167
trees have be
en saved thus far by our recycling efforts.
Library Page staff shelved materials at the rate of approximately 2,500 per day. Turnaround time from
bin to shelf is 48 hours.
Processed new materials at the rate of 225 items per day. Processing materials has a turnaround rate of
no more than seven days and an average rate of 48 hours.
Increased patron computer time from ½ hour sessions to one hour sessions which cut down on the
waiting time between sessions.

Food for Fines ‐ in February, the library collected more than 2,000 lbs. of non‐perishable items to help
fill the shelves of the Sun Prairie Food Pantry. Patrons would bring in food even though they did not
have fines on their accounts. The community pulled together to stock many shelves with food.
New eCommerce payment option. On April 1, patrons were able to pay library charges on‐line. This was
a long anticipated project for circulation staff.
Partnership with Recreation Department. If a patron pays off all the charges on their library account, the
patron receives a one‐day pool pass to the Family Aquatic Center. When a person purchases a day pass
to the Family Aquatic Center, he/she receives a Library Dollar good toward fines or rental DVDs.
2,517 registered children and teen summer reading participants and 1,137 finishers.
Lego Clubs. Inspiring STEAM (Science‐Technology‐Engineering‐Art‐Math) based participatory learning
opportunities for all abilities.
Maker space programming for adults, teens, and children to reach patrons with a variety of interest,
including art, crafting, science, technology, and culinary creation experiences.
Increase in teen non‐fiction book circulation by 15%.
Flagpole lighting was repaired and the flags are flying proudly.
Patron Testimonials:

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.
101
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.
2015 Request/Funding: $160,000
2016 Request: $185,000

2015 Achievements: Recreation Administration
Internet registrations for recreation programs have increased 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 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.
The Recreation Department partnered with Hometown News Group to produce seasonal program
guides. Changes created cost savings, increased customer reach, staffing efficiencies and expanded
creative opportun
ities for our 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 faciliti es, including
social media, the City’s website, local news outlets, email updates to our Activenet customer database,
the Sun Prairie Cable Access Channel and more.

Recreation Department City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
2015 Achievements: Recreation Services
The Recreation Department offered a wide variety of recreational opportunities in 2015. 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.
A number of enrichment programs ranging from art classes to foil fencing classes 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 2015.
Examples include Milkshakes & Monet, Little Cardinals Playtime and a variety of youth science classes
We continued our
fitness class offerings for both youth and adults with excellent participation. A few
of our new classes include Senior Fit Games, Senior Strength & Balance, Weight Loss Support Group
and WOW! “Working on Wellness”.
Concerts in the Park were a great success again this year. A new program format that incl udes family
activities and food vendors, in addition to the concerts, appeals to a wide range of people and
encourages multi‐generational participation. Additional funding from sponsors was secured to help
fund these events.
Participation in youth and adult sports programs continues to be strong. Changes to the adult softball
registration process were well received by participants and created efficiencies for
the department.
Basic Archery was added to our programming during the summer, with classes filling to capacity.
We continued to offer daytime, evening and weekend activities, to accommodate peoples’ varied
schedules.

Recreation (Family Aquatic Center Fund) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Description:
Thousands of individuals participate in aquatics programs at the Family Aquatics Center annually. Aquatics
programs include swimming lessons, swim team, lap swimming, water fitness classes, specialty classes, special
events and private group rentals.
The Family Aquatic Center is managed by the Recreation Director, with the assistance of three part‐time
seasonal managers. Administrative support is provided by the Re creation Department Secretary and a seasonal
office assistant. Programs are generally operated utilizing part‐time seasonal labor.
2016 Budget Highlights:
The Family Aquatic Center base budget is similar to the adopted 2015 budget. Challenges for the Family
Aquatic Center include inconsistent weather and increased competition.
New Programming:
Current programming such as swim lessons and swim team are very successful. Demand for these
programs is high. However, we must balance programming such as swim lessons and swim team and
open swim opportunities. We will continue to review scheduling options to determine if changes can
be made to encourage higher open swim attendance, while maintaining high program enroll ments.
Financial Summary:
Goal: To provide aquatics facilities, programs and services that effectively meets the needs of the
community.
Strategies:
1. Provide opportunities for youth, adults, and families to participate in aquatics programs such as
swimming lessons, swim team, open swim and special events.
2. Provide clean, attractive, and aesthetically pleasing aquatics facilities.
3. Develop programs that encourage participants to be active outdoors.
4. Develop and facilitate programs and activities that will improve and promote individual social,
cognitive, physical, and em
otional skills.

American Red Cross (ARC) swim lessons are a significant program offering for our department. The
ARC Learn to Swim program helps youth and adults develop lifelong swimming and wa ter safety skills.
Piranhas Swim Team registration was strong, with 207 boys and girls registered for the program.
The Piranhas Swim Team won the Tri‐County Conference Championship for the first time since 1987.
The Conference Meet was held in Baraboo on July 25 and 26.
The Piranhas Swim Team Parent Booster Club contributed
significantly to the success of the Piranhas
Swim Team program again this year. Booster Club volunteers are a valuable resource and play an
instrumental role in running an organized, affordable program for the community.
The Piranhas Mini Team program was at capacity in 2015, with 55 boys and girls enrolled in the
program. The program was added to FAC program offerings in 2012 and has quickly become very
popular. It serves as an alternative to the Piranhas Swim Team program for many families that want to
try competitiv
e swimming or that prefer a program that requires less of a time commitment during the
busy summer months.

Achievements:
The Museum holds significant collections regarding the development of the City government,
surrounding townships and daily life. Our collections of maps, abstracts, artifacts, photographs,
documents and books enumerate the history of settlement, governmental evolution, industry, labor,
and community organizations beginning from the early 19th century.
The Museum selects items from its collections for displays. The number and size of items on display
depend upon the display’s nature. Museum staff has developed approximately 450 displays since
1969. Over 115 of these displays were outreach exhibits. The Museum continues to change 40% ‐ 50%
of exhibits on an annual rotating basis. The three Library display cases change every 1½ years. The
Museum also maintains di
splays in the Municipal Building. The Museum's annual displays in addition
to the Prairie Heritage Quilt Show, Halloween, and Community Holiday Tree Lighting at the Museum
are essential for high Museum attendance. All revenue from external sources goes into the Museum
Special fund or the Colu
mbus Street Water Tower Special Fund.
Community and group presentations: The Museum prepares historic walking and mini‐bus tours, and
talks at the Library. Outreach audiences include schools, scout groups, service clubs, Colonial Club,
Colonial View, and nursing homes. Walking tours include: Sun Prairie cemetery, Sacred Hearts
cemetery, Token Creek cemetery, Flat Iron Point, Cannery Square, West Main and the School on the
Hill, History of Agriculture and Industry, Jones, North, Windsor, Dewey and Vine streets, Sun Prairie,
Deansville, Bristol and Burke townships.

Recreation Department (Historical Museum) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Donors: Approximately 1,500 unique individuals, families, and organizations have donated to the
Museum. Their names are now on display. All donors get equal mention.
Archival and research services: Archivists handle requests from researchers. The Museum is unable to
respond to all research requests and therefore both the Curator and Museum staff prioritize these
requests. In addition to citizen requests,
the Museum frequently receives requests from governmental
organizations.

Community Development (Planning) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Mission:
To maintain and enhance the community’s quality of life by encouraging quality development, efficient land
use and sound economic growth.
Department Description:
The Planning Division is responsible for all the long‐range planning activities of the City, as well as the
implementation of many of the City’s plans, development policies and development regulations. The
Division coordinates the review of development applications and development agreements among various City
departments and agencies, and presents staff recommendations on such projects to th e Plan Commission or
other boards and committees as needed. Among other duties, the Planning staff works closely with applicants,
other City officials and the public on various development and code related issues, and with regional agencies
and staff from other levels of government to coordinate the City’s plans and regul ations with other
municipalities and jurisdictions. In addition, the Division works with other City departments to provide
information, mapping, or other assistance as needed.
2016 Budget Highlights:
In addition to minor changes to a few line items to continue to provide exceptional service to the community,
the Division is recommending several new initiatives for 2016, as noted below. Please refer to the individual
budget initiatives for more details on these items.
Funding to begin the process of updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan, last updated in 2009.
Additional funding in the Meetings and Training line item to fund the attendance of one staff member at
the National APA conference in Phoenix, AZ.
The Division anticipates another strong year from a development standpoint, which will have an impact on the
division’s workload and ability to take on longer‐term projects. Ou
tside of the Comprehensive Plan update
mentioned above, the Division has no major projects planned for 2016, but typically several will come up over
the course of the year that will need to be accommodated within the Division’s workload.

Performance Measures:
The Planning Division has recently begun tracking performance through metrics that measure the effectiveness
of the Division with respect to its recommendations to the Plan Commission, and the Division’s responsiveness
to applicants that submit projects for review, as noted below.
122
Community Development (Planning) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
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 said 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.
Timeliness – Staff Reviews: Many applications submitted to the Planning Division for review each year are
items that are 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 days, with
either an approval or comments provided to the applicant on any outstanding items or items in need of
correction in order to secure approval.
Through July of 2015, staff
has averaged 8.6 days for full approval of such items (14 total). This figure drops
to 7.1 days when discounting one application that took 28 days due primarily to delays on the part of the
applicant.
Timeliness – Zoning Permit Reviews: Since the beginning of 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. Although not set by ordinance, the Division’s goal is to try to get such permits reviewed and
issued in less than 3 days. Through July of 2015, the Division has reviewed a total of 132 zoning permit s. Of
those, 122 were measurable in terms of having a clear filing date and issuance date, without long delays on
the part of the applicant in correcting information. The average review time in 2015 was 1.84 days, down
from an average of 1.97 days in 2014. A total of 97 permits (73.5%) were issued within the 3‐day goal. In
most instances, if reviews extended beyond 3 business days, applicant delays while preparing plan revisions
or gathering additional information factored into the overall timeline.

Community Development (Planning) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
2015 Achievements:
In 2015, the Division coordinated and oversaw the process of updating the City’s Future Land Use Plan
for a portion of the Westside Neighborhood. The updated land use plan was adopted by the City Council
in May.
Through the end of July 2015, the Division has reviewed a total of 93 development applic ations and
concept plans. This does not include the review of 132 zoning permits over this same period of time. The
following table provides a history of caseload activity since 2000:
The Division has prepared and recommended several Municipal Code amendments so far in 2015 to
help keep the ordinance up to date and relevant, including: up
dated parking standards for residential
properties; signage standards for multi‐tenant commercial buildings; food carts; and permanent make‐
up facilities, among others.
The Division has worked with several developers to replat portions of neighborhood subdivisions as a
result of updated wetland delineations and changing market conditions since the original pl atting,
including Golden Meadows (Fox Point); Smith’s Crossing, Liberty Square, and West Prairie Village.
Division staff have been working with other department and regional groups on several infrastructure
projects, including: the completion of the Hoepker Road – Terra Court bike path connection; the design
and planning of the reconstruction of CTH C north of STH 19; a grant application to secure funding for a
trail extension along the north side of STH 19 west of N. Thompson Road, among other projects.

Goals:
The Department’s goals are to constantly review and improve business processes to provide better and more
economical services to our community. For 2015, our main goal is to work with the Munis software system to meet the
needs of our property maintenance problem recording and access. We have implemented the Munis cash‐receipting
program and it is working quite well. The credit card acceptance is popular.
Accomplishments of these goals are in
alignment with the goals of the City of Sun Prairie. A secondary goal is to upload the balance of our old records to Laser
fiche by years end; this will improve efficiency for our retrieval and research operations.
Strategies:
Implement permit time savings measures in Munis (City‐wide Enterprise Resource Planning software)
Compare water usage fees between current and 2009‐2010 issued sewer connection permits.
Monitor and provide radio reception reports in our large scale commercial buildings for code compliance.
Activities:

Economic Development City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Mission:
The mission of the Department of Economic Development is to improve the economic well‐being of the
community through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax base enhancement, and the improvement
of the local quality of life.
The mission of the Department of Economic Development can be further separated into six key strategic
objectives:
Identify and prioritize specific target busi
ness sectors;
Develop a specific brand positioning and marketing plan for the City;
Develop a plan for increasing the knowledge and skills of the available workforce;
Develop a plan for governmental support of local business sectors through improved policy and
infrastructure decisions;
Develop a pla
n for improved coordination and communication with local economic development groups
and area businesses;
Develop a business development plan for targeted geographic areas within the community.
Department Description:
The Department of Economic Development consists of two full‐time employees, and is charged with providing
technical assistance to new and existing businesses throughout the City of Sun Prairie. This can include working
with developers, business owners or operators, and other development or business professionals. Key functions
and activities currently undertaken by the department includ e:
Facilitation of development agreements for redevelopment projects, particularly in the City’s Tax
Increment Finance Districts;
Negotiation of financial incentives, particularly in the City’s TIF District’s;
Assistance with available building and property searches;
Coordination of multiple City departments and/or external regulatory agencies when needed
throughout the entitleme
nt process;
Conducting of business retention surveys and hosting of tours and other retention events;
Provision of presentations on the local economy and the business friendly nature of the City;
Director of Economic
Development
Economic
Development
Specialist
132
Economic Development City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Coordination of specific advertising opportunities, including special events and City‐owned property;
Preparation of formal responses for information requests on development opportunities within the City;
Conducting targeted outbound marketing efforts on available buildings and properties, as well as for the
City of Sun Prairie in general;
Provision of staffing support to the down town Business Improvement District and the Sun Prairie
Tourism Commission;
Coordination of workforce development resources from local, regional, and State agencies;
Act as a local liaison to regional, State, and sector specific business and economic development
organizations;
Undertaking of special projects on an as‐needed basis.
2016 Budget Highlights:
Personnel expenditures will increase as the Economic Development Specialist will be on the payroll for a
full year.
Membership, Office Supplies, and Meetings and Training are projected to increase with the addition of
the Economic Development Specialist. Formal training opportunities for both department positions are
being requested. Formal training for the Director of Economic Development is being requested for the
first tim
e in several years.
Contracted professional services are projected to increase overall with the anticipated development
activity, but costs will be allocated to open TIF districts whenever possible.
Marketing efforts are expanded in the 2016 budget, but are being allocated across relevant TIF Districts
for the first ti
me. This results in a net decrease in the general fund budget for this line item.
Staff is recommending budgeting for the cost of acquiring an option that will allow for the orderly
expansion of industrial areas of the City, and will also allow for the marketing of a larger deve lopment
parcel without having to acquire the parcel(s). Terms and cost of any option would need to be
negotiated. Staff is recommending that this initiative proceed only if lot sale revenue from currently
available City‐owned parcels is realized in 2016.
Replacement of the Director of Economic
Development’s laptop and docking station by upgrading to a
Surface is requested to aid in the performance needed to continue to efficiently maintain the City’s
website and social media platforms.

Special Revenues (Transit) City of Sun Prairie 2016 Annual Budget
Mission:
The purpose of the Transit Commission is to assist in providing affordable and reliable transportation to the
citizens of the City of Sun Prairie through a contract with a taxi provider. The Transit Commission oversees the
contract with the awarded vendor, as well as maintains grant and state aid requirements for funding purposes.
Department Description:
Per city ordinance, the Transit Commission consists of six members to be appointment by the mayor and
approved by the common council. There must be one representative from the senior citizens community, one
representative from the school district, one representative from the business community, two representatives
from the community at large, and one member of the commo n council. The Transit Commission acts as the
oversight authority for the taxi service and makes recommendations for changes to the taxi services.
2016 Budget Highlights:
2016 will be a very exciting year for the Transit Commission and the share‐ride taxi program. The Transit
Commission, on behalf of the, City of Sun Prairie will be awarded funds from the 5310 Enhanced Mobility grant
to purchase one more accessible vehicle which will replace one of the two remaining vehicles that the City
currently leases to the taxi provider. Also,
the Transit Commission is hoping to implement some advertising
strategies to bring in more revenues for the reduced fare program. These strategies would include business
advertising in or on the taxis.
