JANE B. LANG
Mayor
October 18, 2022
Dear President Stevenson, Honorable Council Members, and Citizens:
It is my pleasure to present you with the 2023 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget. As we
are all acutely aware, the unprecedented economic conditions with which we are currently faced
make the budgeting process very challenging. Labor shortages, supp ly chain issues, and inflation
averaging over 8% in this past year have had a tremendously negative impact on our community
and our residents. Support to municipalities via shared revenue and expenditure restraint payments
from the State of Wisconsin has r emained flat for many years. The simple fact that we are
extremely limited on the revenue side of the budget equation means that our spending must be
very thoughtfully and carefully considered to create a responsible plan for the future.
My priorities in the 2023 budget are based on my belief that the City of Neenah is an exceptional
community and that we should continue to provide our absolute best for our citizens. Our city
workers at all levels are tasked with providing that exceptional level of servic e to you with
increasingly fewer resources. Nevertheless, our commitment to you is unwavering. Our goal is to
provide you with the best possible service without overburdening you with high taxes.
During this year’s budgeting process, our department heads identified needs in our 2023 general
fund budget of over 29.3 million dollars while our revenue expectations stood at $27.3 million.
I’m requesting a reduction of the requests of approximately $945,000. I am proposing that our tax
levy to support the oper ating budget will increase by approximately $190,000. We will also be
utilizing the Joint Fire/Rescue levy limit exemption of $150,000, using $135,000 in general fund
unassigned reserves (of our over five million dollar reserve fund balance), and applying $225,000
in ARPA one time expenditures to assist in balancing the budget. Additionally, we will be
assigning our internal engineering costs for services related to the 2023 CIP to be reimbursed with
borrowed funds. That internal cost of our engineering sta ff can be safely calculated to be
approximately $250,000.
The tax levy to support TIF districts within the city is derived at the state level and is based on
equalized value calculations. The final proposed tax levy after TIF is approximately 20.6 millio n
which equates to a 3.1% increase. As proposed in this budget, the final estimated assessed tax rate
is proposed to increase 2.4% for property owners. That increase will translate to a tax rate of $8.749
per $1,000 of assessed valuation (compared to an $8 .541 rate per $1,000 last year) which is a 21
cent increase or, simply put, a tax rate increase of approximately $21 for every $100,000 of
assessed property value.

Office of the Mayor

Our city workers are, in my opinion, our most important resource and the protection of that
resource requires investment. In 2022, the city undertook a salary evaluation (the first full
evaluation since 2013) in order to be able to address both internal and external inequities in our
system. The results of that process have led me to prioritize a n increase of 3.5% in salaries and
wages for our employees with the opportunity to also make rate adjustments later in the year for
individuals who are falling below their minimum pay grades. We honestly wish we could do more
for our excellent staff. Reten tion of our employees at this difficult time of labor shortages is
extremely important to me. The ability to recruit new employees as current employees retire or
simply move on is also obviously important.
Budget requests from four of our departments inc luded the addition of personnel. As much as I
would like to be able to add what our departments view as necessary for their improved function,
I simply cannot both add employees and also provide more appropriately for our current
employees. The difficult decision to not include those requests for additional employees was not
easy, and I hope that next year we will be able to revisit some of those requests. That being said,
it is within the City Council’s purview to alter my budget as they see fit.
As we continue to move forward following the pandemic, I have allocated a portion of the ARPA
dollars we received from the federal government towards addressing some of the increases we’ve
seen related to gas/oil and supplies. I have also allocated a portion towa rds addressing the
adjustments to minimum grade levels in our salary plan. This is a reasonable use of the dollars and
will help us move forward through this hopefully short-lived period of very high inflation.
My commitment to providing an exceptional l evel of service to you our residents also extends to
my desire to continue to support the funding necessary to keep our community safe. Our Neenah
Police and our Neenah Menasha Fire Rescue budgets continue to be the largest portion of our
yearly budget, and I’m very proud of that commitment. Unfortunately, our financial ability to add
additional officers and firefighters is at this time very limited, and I have consequently removed
those requests.
On the capital side of the budget, we are, however, moving forward with a necessary building
expansion at the Neenah Police Department that will greatly enhance our officers’ ability to train
and maintain their high standard of excellence. We are also inve sting in necessary equipment for
both the PD and NMFR. Supply chain issues have caused concerns not only for facility
enhancements but also for the acquisition of vehicles and very necessary and vital equipment. Both
the PD and the NMFR have demonstrated great creativity when it comes to managing around the
challenges they have faced. For instance, in an example of supply chain challenges, the lead time
for a new fire truck is now approaching 28 months – this certainly makes planning and budgeting
more difficult. Our final payment on a new engine ordered early in 2022 will be included in the
2023 capital budget with the engine due to arrive near the end of 2023.
Our public works department and water department and their continuous efforts to maintain and
repair our streets and infrastructure are also a priority for me as is providing safe and clean water
to our residents. Our major street improvements this year will include work to design South
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 18, 2022 – Page 3
Commercial St as well as the intersection of Commercial and Wi nneconne. Our street upgrades
are planned to include work on Chestnut, Dieckhoff, and Burr as well as four courts in the
Memorial Park area. New street work will be conducted in the Liberty Heights subdivision, the
Integrity Acres subdivision, and the Arthur and Cardinal Plats. Additional water and sanitary and
storm water projects are proposed to be conducted on Elm, Reed, and Laudan. We’re thankful for
the continued growth of the City as new subdivisions are developed on the west side. This growth,
however, will also require investments in roads, pedestrian walkways, and a new water booster
station.
One of the exciting projects undertaken by our Community Development Department over this
past summer/fall has been the development of a comprehensive plan for our downtown. This plan,
coordinated by the RDG Planners Group from Des Moines, Iowa, is the first comprehensive look
at our downtown in fifty years. Creating a good plan – a plan that inspires and propels us forward
– is vitally important to our future success. I have also put in place a Mayor’s Task Force to look
at the Arrowhead District to identify opportunities and encourage the forward movement of this
project.
Considering the work done in the downtown plan, especially as it relates to connectivi ty to
Arrowhead, I have removed the construction of an activity building from the 2023 capital plan
until such time as we can have a clearer understanding of the true potential of this incredible thirty-
acre, water -front site adjacent to our developing and vibrant downtown. I am retaining in the
budget the planned redevelopment at Cook Park as well as new play equipment at Baldwin Park
in addition to other necessary maintenance items for the Parks and Recreation Department.
Other capital projects included in the 2023 plan include additions to TIF #12 (the Bridgewood
Development area) to enable bridge construction to the site as well as storm pond modifications
within this new development. The additional TIF dollars for funding a very necessary downtown
parking ramp will be allocated in the 2024 CIP. We are incredibly fortunate that our downtown
has continued to grow and thrive in spite of all the challenges of the past few years. Needed
upgrades at the Neenah Library, the City Garage on Tullar Road, and within the City’s now forty-
five year old Administration Building (City Hall) will also be undertaken in 2023.
The importance of also addressing our growing needs in the area of Information Services cannot
be understated. I’m also including capital dollars for the support of projects within that realm that
are intended to keep us fully up to date, technologically supported, and technologically secure at
the City.
As we look towards the future with confidence and optimism, we also are mindful of the fact that
2023 will mark the 150 th anniversary of the incorporation of our wonderful city. Because shared
celebrations and events help build unity in our community, I have formed a committee to plan for
a variety of low cost but impactful opportunities to celebrate the City of Neenah’s 150th birthday.
Again, we have so much for which to be thankful in the City of Neenah, and the birthday
celebration in 2023 will give us yet another opportunity to celebrate our wonderful community.

Office of the Mayor
October 18, 2022 – Page 4
In closing, I would like to giv e sincere thanks to Council President Stevenson, our Council
Members, Department Heads, and staff who for the first six months of my tenure as your mayor
have shown me incredible kindness and support. Although we were faced with the daunting task
of replacing three department heads within these first six months, I have been so thankful for the
solid leadership and support you have all demonstrated.
I am particularly indebted to Mike Easker, our Finance Director, and Andy Kahl, our Deputy
Director of Fina nce and their assistance with the creation of the 2023 budget. With Director
Easker’s retirement in mid -October, we will be faced with another significant time of transition.
Director Easker has, for the past twenty-three years, contributed so much to the success of our city,
and he will be sincerely missed. Deputy Director Kahl has graciously stepped into the role of
Interim Director as we move through this budget season. His skill, guidance, and thoughtful
approach is greatly appreciated. I cannot close without also thanking my administrative assistant,
Joni Heinz, who carefully manages the daily operations of the mayor’s office with skill, patience,
and genuine care.
As is clearly understood by all, the budget I am presenting is a working document that is meant to
be adjusted and improved. I sincerely invite your input and suggestions. As I stated at the outset,
our goal is to continue to provide our absolute best to the citizens of the City of Neenah. I’m firm
in my commitment to do that.
Respectfully submitted,

City of Neenah
Budget Development and Management Process
The budget is a financial and operating plan that matches planned revenues and
expenditures with the services provided City residents, businesses and industries based on
established budgetary policies. It expresses in dollar amounts the City's work programs for
the upcoming fiscal year. When adopted, it becomes a major guidance document for
department managers for the operation of their various responsibilities, functions and
activities. Strong efforts have been made to provide as complete information as practicable
for budget analysis by the Common Council; to provide clear direction through budget detail to
operating managers; and, to allow effective administrative overview and monitoring of activity
expenditures.
The City's budget year coincides with the calendar year. By Statute, the Budget must include
revenues and expenditures in a three-year comparison plus information on debt service, fund
balances and other information deemed appropriate.
The budget document begins with a transmittal letter from the Mayor. This letter capsulizes
the contents of the budget and major issues addressed during the budget development
process. The Introductory and Summary Sections describe the budget process, give an
overview of the City's organizational structure and present a summary of budget revenues
and expenditures. All other sections include standard formatted details of specific resources,
operations and special programs.
The City follows these procedures in developing, adopting, controlling and updating its annual
budget for each fiscal calendar year:
Development/Adoption
1. The Mayor establishes budgetary objectives, targets and overall guidelines taking
into account levels of services, economic conditions and Council and taxpayer
expectations.
2. Each operating manager submits preliminary budget requests to the Mayor
based on those guidelines, including expenditures, applicable revenues and
goals and plans for the ensuing year. Requests are reviewed, amended and
updated throughout the development process.
3. With staff input, the Mayor submits a total proposed budget to the Council which
includes final department requests, Mayor's recommended expenditures and the
means of financing them and required tax levy.
4. Copies of the proposed budget are made available for public review in the
Neenah Public Library and by request from the Finance Department.
5. The Council schedules "open to the public" budget workshops with the Mayor
and City staff. A formal Public Hearing is conducted to obtain public and
taxpayer input. At the Public Hearing, all interested persons are given the
opportunity to be heard for or against any service expenditure or revenue.
1
6. The budget, authorizing spending levels and adopting a tax levy, is legally enacted
through passage of a Council resolution.
Control/Updating
1. The budget, as adopted, includes total expenditures for the General (operating),
Debt Service, Special Revenue, Capital Projects and other funds as appropriate.
2. General (operating) Fund appropriations are made at the following major
expenditure program levels:
General Government
Public Safety
Public Works
Community Development and Human Services
Culture and Recreation
Miscellaneous Other Uses
All other funds are appropriated at the total expenditure level. Expenditures cannot
exceed appropriations without approval of two-thirds of the Council and publication
of a Class 1 Public Notice.
3. Internal City policies include additional budgetary controls beyond the legal level.
Budget revisions and updating may take place during the course of the year to
meet changing needs. Transfers to or from Salaries/Wages, Capital Outlay,
between "departments" and major cost center accounts and from the Special
Reserve and Escrows account require approval of the Finance and Personnel
Committee and a two-thirds vote of the Council.
4. The budgets for all funds are utilized as policy guides and operating fiscal plans for
department managers throughout the year.
5. Detailed budget condition reports are furnished monthly to all department
managers. The Finance Director submits quarterly reports in writing to the Finance
and Personnel Committee and Council and makes analyses of the fiscal condition
of the City's various funds and appropriations and recommendations related
thereto.
6. Appropriations and department budgets not encumbered by purchase orders,
contracts or other formal obligation at year-end generally lapse and become
available for reappropriation in the succeeding fiscal year.
7. All budgets and accounting activity conform to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP).

Recommended General Fund Budget Deficit $0
Increases (Decreases) to Revenue Requested
1). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit $190,340
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit restrictions based upon net new construction, the City maximum levy increase for its operating budget is limited to $193,146.
As such, I am recommending using $190,340 of that amount to apply towards the 2023 operating budget, leaving $2,806 available for
levy limit carryforward to future years.
2). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit 0
Carry Forward
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit law, the City may carry forward unused levy limit from previous years for the current year budget. The City currently has $2,625
available in previous year's unused levy limit. I am not proposing to use the this amount, and the balance will remain available to use in future years.
3). Property Tax Levy Increase - Fire/Rescue 150,000
Levy Limit Exemption
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit law, any municipality with a joint Fire Department is able to exempt from the levy limit the portion of their municipality's increase in
fire service cost so long as the total Joint Fire/Rescue expenditure budget increase does not exceed CPI + 2%. The 2023 Fire/Rescue budget
meets that standard. In addition, the exemption can only be for the municipality's increase in fire service cost that exceeds 2%. The City of Neenah
increase for Fire/Rescue services for 2023 totals $265,370, with the amount eligible for levy limit exemption totaling $154,990. Of this eligible
amount, the 2023 budget recommends the use of a Joint Fire/Rescue Levy Limit Exemption of $150,000.
4). Use General Fund Unassigned Reserves 135,000
Mayor's Comments:
The City ended fiscal year 2021 with a General Fund undesignated fund balance of $5,060,058 and a total fund balance of $5,342,546. Current
estimates for 2022 indicate the City would end the year with a net expenditure less revenue deficit of $229,540. This number excludes the
budgeted application of assigned ($107,430), unassigned ($100,000) and library ($25,000) fund balance. I am recommending the use of $135,000 of
unassigned fund balance as part of the proposed 2023 General Fund budget, an increase of $35,000 from the $100,000 of unassigned fund
balance applied as part of the 2022 budget.

5). Library Operating Carryforward 10,000
Mayor's Comments:
State law mandates that all accumulated unspent funds that were appropriated for Library use in previous years must be specifically identified
and used only for future Library purposes. Those available carry forward funds total $37,537 as of 12/31/21. At this point, no additional funds are
expected to be available from 2022 operations. $25,000 of those funds were used to offset expenditures in the 2022 budget. I am
recommending using $10,000 of those ongoing carry forward funds to offset expenditures in the 2023 Library operating budget.
6). CIP Street Projects-Internal Engineering Costs 250,000
Mayor's Comments:
Annual street, sanitary sewer, and storm water reconstruction and replacement projects budgeted for in the CIP require significant engineering and
administrative resources to plan for and complete. These services are provided by engineering staff in the Public Works Department
Without this service on staff, the City would need to borrow additional funds each year for contracted engineering services in order
to complete these projects, and likely at far greater cost. As such, I am recommending the cost of engineering services related to 2023 CIP projects
be reimbursed with borrowed funds, rather than directly through the operating levy. Public Works staff estimates 30% of its budget is attributable to
CIP project planning and execution. Funding breaks out as follows: Street Projects-65% ($162,500), Sanitary Sewer-25% ($62,500), and
Storm Water-10% ($25,000).
7). ARPA - One Time Expenditures 225,000
Mayor's Comments:
I am recommending the use of additional ARPA funds to pay for non-recurring costs appearing in the 2023 budget, as well as to address the effects
of inflation levels not seen in decades. ARPA funds are required to be allocated by 12/31/24, and spent by 12/31/26. The uses are as follows:
Assessor/Revaluation/Postage - $60,000
Salary Plan-One Time Increases to Grade Minimums - $65,000
Cost Increases Based Upon Worst Case Inflation Estimate (Gas/Oil, Supplies, etc.) - $100,000
8). All Internal Transfers 33,500
Mayor's Comments:
Increase 6% instead of 5%. Additional 1% to meet the challenges of historic inflation levels. Transfers include the ARPA Public Safety, TIF's and
utility operating transfers.

Increases (Decreases) to Expenditures Requested
Police
Mayor's Comments: (252,640)
The Police Department 2023 budget included the request to add three additional staff positions. Those positions with annual costs are Police
Captain ($142,570), Investigator ($126,150) and Behavioral Health Officer ($116,760). While the safety of our community is paramount, operating
budget constraints have led me to not recommend any of the three positions at this time.
Joint Fire/Rescue
Mayor's Comments: (197,810)
City of Neenah 60.34% share of total $327,830 budget reductions as directed by the Mayors of both cities. Reductions include eliminating
funding for the requested Community Risk Reduction specialist, as well as wage and fringe adjustments for planned retirements, plus health insurance
and overtime reductions. Specific details can be found in the full Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue budget.
Library (31,980)
Mayor's Comments:
The 2023 Library operating budget request includes the addition of a part time Assistant Custodian, as well as additional hours for a part time
position. Due to operating budget constraints I am not recommending the new position or the additional hours in my proposal.
Special Reserves & Escrow
Mayor's Comments:
This area of the budget is used to identify budget adjustments that affect multiple departments across various budget line items.
My recommended changes to those various line items are as follows:
1). Health Insurance (250,000)
The City and its benefits broker have negotiated a negligible increase of 0.59% in 2023 health insurance premiums, vs. a previously projected 9.9%
increase.
2). Retirements (50,000)
Wage and fringe benefit impact of planned 2023 retirements.
3). Internal I/S Services (162,540)
Reductions to the I/S expenditure budget decrease the transfers needed from departments. Reductions include elimination of funding for the
requested Help Desk Support Technician ($71,310), health insurance ($11,230), and the portion of the I/S service fee that accounts for CIP costs
($80,000).

Non-Tax Levy Revenues
Submitted by:

Payments In Lieu of Taxes
Represents the payment made to the City by the Water Utility in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”). The formula is
established by the Public Service Commission based on the Water Utility's depreciated property value and a portion
of the total assessed tax rate for 202 1-2022. For 2023, that payment is est imated to decrease by 4.66%, or
$49,170. An expenditure item in a like amount is included in the Water Utility's budget in 2023. Also included in 2023
is $8,400 in payments from other tax-exempt properties (County housing units, Orphan Animal Rescue). The ERC
Retirement Center and Labor Temple, properties previously under PILOT, are now on the tax roll. In addition, 2023 is
the s eventh year of a payment ($10,000) from the new Goodwill store based upon a formula to provide a tax
equivalent for basic municipal services.
Other Taxes
The Room Tax is a 10% tax on all room night revenues generated by hotels and motels located in the City. The
hotels and motels collect the tax and forward the funds to a Room Tax account with Associated Trust on a quarterly
basis. Prior to 2016, the room tax in the City of Neenah was 5% on all room night revenues from hotels and motels.
Effective 1/1/16, the room tax increased to 10%. Those funds are distributed as follows: 3% room tax is earmarked
for the Fox Cities Convention and Visitor Bureau (CVB), 3% earmarked to fund the Fox Cities Exhibition Ce nter
located in downtown Appleton, and 3% room tax pledged to the Community First Champion Center in Grand Chute.
The final 1% of the 10% is retained by the City. The City also retains 5% of the fu nds earmarked to the CVB for
administration purposes. With travel and tourism industry expected to get back to pre-pandemic levels, room
tax collection is expected to increase $30,000 in 2023.
State Revenue Sharing and Aid Programs
State Shared Revenue is a combination of State sales and income taxes returned to the City based on a complex
growth/per capita/tax burden formula. State Shared Revenue to the City has declined dramatically since 1983. As
part of the 2011 State Budget, Sha red Revenue was again dramatically reduced for 2012. After four years of
payments remaining flat, the City received a 1% increase in both 2019 and 2020. As with 2021 and 2022, Shared
Revenue will remain flat for 2023.
The Expenditure Restraint Payment (“ERP”) is a direct levy reduction payment program based on City expenditure
restraint requirements. The ERP formula is designed to assist communities whose tax rates reflect the cost of
providing a full range of municipal services. Recent State budgets have reduced funding for the program. Added to
the fact that more municipalities are qualifying for the program , the City’s payment has diminished in recent years.
The City’s ERP payment decreased from 2018 through 2021. 2022 had an increase of 4.52% ($20,930). For 2023
the City’s ERP payment is now expected to increase by 5.23%, or $25,330.
The total of the combined State Revenue Sharing Programs is $2,084,430 which includes the Expenditure Restraint
Payment. This compares to $3,013,800 received as recently as 2003 – a loss in actual do llars of nearly $1
million over that 20 year period. Furthermore, this funding continues to be over 51% less than the 1983 State
Shared Revenue payment of $4,285,700. In 1983, State Shared Revenue programs funded over 45% of the City
of Neenah’s operating budget. State Shared Revenue programs are now projected to fund under 8% of the
City’s operating budget in 2023.
Exempt Computer Aid is a State program created to replace “lost” property taxes due to the exemption of business
owned computers as of January 1, 1999. Previous to this year, the annual amount wa s based upon the value of
computer equipment reported by City manufacturing and commercial businesses to the Department of Revenue. As
part of a recently passed state budget, payments for 2018 and 2019 beyond will be based upon the 2017 payment
increased by a CPI factor. Starting in 2020 and beyond, the State froze the payment at the 2019 level. For 2023 the
amount then will remain flat at an amount of $150,580.
Federal, State, Local Aids
Includes highway maintenance aids received from the State Transportation Trust Fund (gasoline sales taxes and
other automotive related fees) for street and highway maintenance. These aids are based on a prescribed cost
reimbursement formula. Over the past 13 years the amount received has fluctuated, leading to a net decrease of
2.15% over that time period, but with increases in 2021 and 2022. 2023 is estimated to have an increase of 5.70%
which is $65,000.

Also included in this category are estimated Federal and State Mass Transit (bus subsidy ) reimbursements and
payments related to fire protection. New in 2020 was a state Video Services Provider Aid payment equal to 5% of the
City’s Cable TV Franchise Fee Revenue. The 2022 payment was $59,980. That payment is projected to remain
flat at $59,9 80 for 2023. Per state mandate, the City then is expected to receive that much less in Cable TV
Franchise Fees in 2020, leaving it as a net neutral revenue for the City.
Special Financing
Includes application of surplus resulting from resources being gre ater than expected and expenditures being less
than planned permitting reappropriation of unused taxes. Over the past number of years, the City has been working
to reduce its reliance on the use of general fund undesignated fund balance to finance ongoing operations. As
recently as 2005, the City had budgeted the application of $550,000 of fund balance to balance the general fund
budget. With the significant reductions in state aids and other revenues continuing, it has been necessary to maintain
the use of reserves to balance recent budgets. The City’s goal for 2012 and b eyond was to reduce, stabilize or
eliminate the use of reserves to balance ongoing operating budgets. While the 2012 adopted budget did contemplate
using $178,800 of reserves, specific concessions agreed to in Police and Fire union negotiations essentially
eliminated the need to use these reserves for 2012. The 2013 budget included the use of $70,000 in reserves, while
the 2014 budget completely eliminated the use of reserves to balance budgeted expenditures and revenues in the
General Fund. The 2015 budget applied $66,850 of reserves, while the 2016 budget applied $170,600. The 2017
budget applied $181,870 of fund balance, with the 2018 budget using $150,000, $151,000 in 2019, $200,000 in 2020,
$225,000 in 2021 and $100,000 in 2022 . This plan contemplates using a maxim um of $ 135,000 of General
Fund reserves to balance the 2023 operating budget.
Licenses and Permits
Represents collections from liquor, pet, cigarette, electrical and other licenses and building, plumbing, heating, boat
launching and other permits. Taken as a whole, license and permit budgeted revenue is expected to decrease
slightly in 2023.
Health Inspection Fees
After months of study, responsibility for the Ci ty’s health and sanitation related services were transferred to
Winnebago County effective July 1, 2013. As such, fees for health and sanitation services have been removed from
the City’s budget. The responsibility for Weights and Measures was transferred to the City’s Community Development
and Assessment department in 2013. In 2015, fees were reduced by $10,000 to more accurately reflect the actual
cost of providing the service. For 2023, fees are estimated to increase by 5.80% or $1,480.
General Government
Derived from a variety of miscellaneous services provided by administrative offices to private parties. Included are
document sales, cable TV franchise fees, room tax fees, planning and zoning related fees, exempt property filing
fees and other gene ral revenues. The City will budget an increase for these revenue sou rces in 202 3 of
$20,460, or 7.06%.
Special Charges
These revenues are directly related to Public Works operations. They represent those portions of costs of services
that are of speci al benefit to individual properties or property owners and billed accordingly (e.g. weed cutting and
snow removal). The 2023 budgeted amount will remain the same as 2022 with an amount of $8,000.
Public Library
Receipts from rental fees and miscellaneous library sales. In September 2021 the library eliminated fines for overdue
items and now only charge for lost/damaged items. Winnebago County contributes funding for services provided to
residents of the Towns of Vinland, Clayton, Menasha and Neenah based upon usage. Support from Calumet County
reflects the use of the library by their residents. Overall, Library revenues are expected to increase by $15,930
for 2023, in addition to the use of $10,000 of Library operating carryforward funds.

Public Safety - Police Department
Receipts are from p hotocopies of records and photo ID's. Also included is reimbursement from the Neenah Joint
School District for the School Resource Officer program, which currently is approximately 75% of the cost of the
program. The City is working with the school district on an alternate agreement to support the SRO program with the
high school moving out of the City’s jurisdiction . As such, the City is budgeting a decrease in publi c safety
revenues by $50,250 (22.58%).
Government Services
Charges for services provided by the City Finance, Legal and Huma n Resources and Safety departments. These
services are charged to the Neenah Water, Sewer and Storm Water Utilities, Neenah -Menasha Fire Rescue and
Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court. Total revenue posted to these accounts is anticipate d to increase by
$24,750, or 5.85%, in 2023.
Public Works/Sanitation
Receipts from charges to private parties for services performed, occasional rental of equipment (e.g. tractor and
driver) and purchase of materials from the City. Also included are receipts from charges for the occasional special
residential garbage collection. The City has completed the implementation plan to fully charge back to small
commercial and certain multi-unit residential properties the cost of garbage collection. All metal, paper and corrugate
recycling revenues are recorded in the Recycling Special Revenue Fund. Overall, budgeted revenue is expected
to increase by $8,500 (6.51%) in 2023.
Oak Hill Cemetery
Burial service fees, sales of lots, reimbursement for the care of veterans' lots and int erest earned from Perpetual
Care Fund investments. Since 2013, revenue has been categorized to provide greater detail as to the source of
revenue. 2023 is the s eventh year funds are budgeted under Miscellaneous Revenue for net revenue generated
from an a greement in which the City would provide services to the adjoining St . Margaret Cemetery. Cemetery
revenues are budgeted to increase by 5.28% in 2023.
Investment Income
Investment income is generated from delinquent tax payments, special assessments paid on the installment basis
and from idle cash available for inves tment. For several years, the economic downturn and subsequent drop in
interest rates had a dramatic effect on investment interest income. Interest rates are on the rise as of late 2022 and
anticipate to increase or maintain throughout 2023. Taken as a whole, revenue for investment income in 2023 is
budgeted to increase by $156,200, or 24.03%.
Fines and Forfeitures
Collections for City ordinance violations and other misdemeanors covered by City Code and State Statute collected
by Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court. Despite enhanced collection efforts, previous years were adversely affected
by the economic downturn and a reduction in citations issued. Also includes false alarm fees from residential and
commercial security systems. A Traffic Control Officer within the Police Department has been added, which should
lead to increased traffic citations for 2023. The City is adjusting to a more realistic expectation of revenue with a
decrease by $12,700 (33.16%) in 2023.
Property Damage Recovery
Series of revenue accounts to record the receipt of insurance reimbursements for damage to City property.
Reimbursements
This category includes the workers compensation insurance premium refund and employme nt practices liability
insurance premium refund from Cities and Villages Mutual Insurance Company (CVMIC). Also i ncluded is the
anticipated annual dividend reflecting the City’s ownership stake in CVMIC and rebate revenue from the City’s P-Card
purchasing program. Total Reimbursement revenue is expected to increase $10,000 in 2023.

Rental
Revenue from the leasing and rental of real property or building space (e.g., Cecil Street garage, fire station bay,
communication towers at the Police Department and recently purchased industrial park land from th e Town of
Neenah). Overall revenue in this category is expected to increase by $1,620, or 1.53%, in 2023.
Sale of City Properties
Casual sales of real estate, equipment and other property no longer used by the City. New in 2016 and beyond is the
estimated sale value of all equipment disposed of by all city departments. Previously, some departments had applied
those funds to reduce the overall cost and borrowing needs of new equipment. Given the uneven nature of revenue
generated by the sale of assets, this category will experience significant swings in anticipated revenue on an annual
basis. As such, overall revenue in this category is expected to total $68,000 in 2023, $500 more than the 2022
budget.
Other Revenue
Miscellaneous general government revenue including photocopy fees and other minor, unclassified revenue.
Parks and Recreation
Participant revenues from the various recreational programs, including rentals of park shelter facilities, fees for
various adult and youth recreation programs, Riverside Players ticket sale s, pool fees an d recreation building
revenue. For all programs and rentals , the total estimated revenue, budget-to-budget, is expected to
increase in 2023 by 17.73% or $101,340.
Interfund Transfers
Interfund transfers are resources available to the Operating Budget from "other funds" for a variety of purposes. For
example, the Housing Fund partially reimburses the General Fund for Community Development salaries incurred on
housing programs. The Tax Incremental District Funds reimburse the General Fund f or administrative costs and
interest obligations for TIF Special Revenue Fund deficits, plus any other advances that have been made.
The transfer from the Sewer Fund Maintenance and Overhead is reimbursement for costs incurred for services
provided to the Sanitary Sewer Utility operating budget in accordance with the fee structure adopted in 1991.
Similarly, the transfer from the Storm Water Management Fund is reimbursement for services provided to the Storm
Water Utility operating budget in accordance with the fee structure adopted in 2003. New in 2023 is a transfer of
borrowed funds in the amount of $250,000 from the Streets (65%), Sanitary Sewer (25%) and Storm Water (10%)
CIP budgets to cover the costs of engineering services provided to annual constru ction projects, which would
otherwise be contracted outside the City if not for internal staff performing the work.
2023 is the second year in a three year plan to use ARPA dollars to supplant transfers from various other City funds.
Funds include Benefi t Accrual, Information Systems, Parking, Cemetery Perpetual Care, Dial -A-Ride, Compost,
Industrial Development, Recycling, Preparedness Grant, Alliant Energy PILOT, and Developer Land Sales. While
one-time ARPA dollars are being used to finance Public Safe ty costs in the City’s general fund, deferring transfers
from these funds will allow their balances to grow and be available at the end of the three year period and beyond to
fund City operations into the future. ARPA funding guidance allows municipalities to use dollars “for the provision of
government services” under the Lost Revenue provision of the law.
In addition to the ARPA funding listed above, the City is also proposing to use $225,000 to fund one -time
expenditures in the 2023 budget. These includ e a city-wide assessment revaluation, bringing employees to grade
minimums as a result of the 2022 salary plan review, and addressing historic inflation issues.
Overall, fund transfe rs for 202 3 are budgeted to increase by $ 678,130 (19.72%) from the 2022 budgeted
amount.

Keeping our citizens safe is a top priority as we continue to make appropriate and very necessary
investments in public safety.
We will address the changing economic pressures we’re facing (inflation, supply chain problems,
etc) with a pragmatic yet proactive approach – creativity with b udgeting and planning will be
emphasized.
We will seek to implement improvements to our “company” culture at the City with intended
outcomes being better worker satisfaction, retention of current employees, and recruitment of new
employees.

the future.
As mayor, I have committed to being accessible to citizens and will maintain that commitment.

The City will continue to prepare and publish a quarterly newsletter to be mailed out to all residents. With
the expected retirement of Library Director Raab in 2023, it has been proposed to hire outside services for
the editing process that takes place for the production of the newsletter. That increase in cost for the
newsletter is reflected in the 2023 budget.

The Police Department is committed to the City's goal of enhancing the quality of life in Neenah. We provide the
historical core functions of policing - protecting lives and property - and add an emphasis on protecting rights, as well.
Our operating philosophy recognizes our reliance upon community participation and interaction. Most of our programs
are community partnerships. Our primary services include neighborhood policing, crime prevention, criminal investigation,
School Recource Officers, traffic and pedestrian safety, and order maintenance. Supporting programs and services
include code enforcement, animal control, nuisance and abatement, neighborhood watch, "Charlie Check-First", school
crossing guards, honor guard,and many other programs. We staff a full-time Community Policing Coordinator, drug enforcement
investigator, two School Resource Officers, Traffic Safety Officer, Professional Standards/Testing Lieutenant, investigators, two
police K9 teams, one station dog team, an on-call emergency response and tactical team, as well as many other specialty
assignments.

Mayor's Comments:
The Police Department 2023 budget included the request to add three additional staff positions. Those positions with annual costs are
Police Captain ($142,570), Investigator ($126,150) and Behavioral Health Officer ($116,760). While the safety of our community is
paramount, operating budget constraints have led me to not recommend any of the three positions at this time.

Goals/Responsibilities:
We are Neenah’s Guardians. We keep our community safe, while respecting the rights and dignity of every person
we have contact with, whether victim, witness or suspect. The two major emphases of our department are: to treat
all people with dignity and respect and to have out-of-squad-car experiences with our community.
Activities:
The most common complaints we receive at the Neenah Police Department are traffic -related concerns. Speeding
is typically the number one complaint, followed by complaints of people who don't know how to pr operly and
lawfully navigate a roundabout.
Due to these recurring traffic issues and limited staffing resources, we have created a new traffic safety officer
(TSO) position within the department, which started in May of 2022. The TSO promotes and facilitates the smooth
and orderly flow of traffic to reduce traffic congestion, reduces the number and severity of traffic crashes, reduces
motor vehicle violations within the city, and promotes overall traffic safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
The Neenah Police Department is committed to strict enforcement of all hazardous violations that contribute to
personal injury, death, or serious property damage. These violations include, but are not restricted to:
Operation of a vehicle by a driver under the influence of alcohol/drugs
Operation of a vehicle after driving privileges have been suspended or revoked
Speed violations
Other hazardous violations
All violations identified in the course of an accident investigation
Pedestrian/bicycle violations likely to lead to injury or death
Major accidents involving severe injuries or death
Reckless driving
The purpose of the TSO is to protect lives and property through aggressive, proactive enforcement of motor vehicle
laws and education of our community. An emphasis is being placed on enforcement of the motor vehicle laws of the
State of Wisconsin and established codes by the City of Neenah.
In 2022, the Neenah Police Department hired six new patrol officers, four new Community Service Aides and four
professional staff members.
Most of our regular activities can be divided into four primary categories:
Crime Control:
Respond to and stop active criminal activity
Investigate and document past crimes
Make criminal arrests and referrals
Provide courtroom testimony

Engage in preventive patrols

Professional Development
“Professional Development” for many jobs you get “trained” on how to use or do a specific tool or task
on your orientation, other careers that require perfection with specific equipment and decision making
skills have continued education or “Professional Development”.
Professional Development and Credentialing: A wide variety of people, such as teachers, military officers, health
care professionals, firefighters, law enforcement officers, lawyers, accountants and engineers engage in
professional development. Individuals may participate in professional development because of an interest in lifelong
learning, a sense of moral obligation, to maintain and improve professional competence, to enhance career
progression, to keep abreast of new technology and practices, or to comply with professional regulatory
requirements. Approaches to professional development, include consultation, coaching, lesson study, mentoring,
reflective supervision and technical assistance.
NMFR uses all of these professional development approaches through our Job Performance Requirements (JPR’s),
Task Books and Subject Matter Experts (SME). Currently, NMFR has nearly 200 JPR’s which are used to train and
hone firefighters skills. We use these JPR’s in our Task Books which include: Probationary Firefighter,
Driver/Operator, Inspector/Investigator (under development) and Fire Officer. One of my greatest challenges is the
department structure 3 shifts, 4 stations and 68 personnel. NMFR has SME’s in; water rescue, technical rescue,
vehicle extrication, fire suppression and incident management. I use these SME’s to continue to develop department
personnel skills and knowledge.
NMFR and the Oshkosh Fire Department completed our third joint recruit class in April of 2022 . This is a great
partnership between neighboring communities as it reduced the time c ommitment of on -duty crews working with
recruit school (5 weeks).
NMFR continuously trains with neighboring fire departments and our police departments along with Gold Cross
Ambulance. Training Topics have included, but not limited to:
Professional Development and Credentialing, when you dial “911” it is your emergency and our citizens expect
the very best are coming to help. Year to date, we trained nearly 12,000 hours, which sounds like a lot of training,
but when it is YOUR EMERGENCY, you want to know the very best is coming to help!
Professional Development is not practicing until you get it right…
… It is practicing until you can’t get it wrong.

Fire Prevention, Fire Investigations and Public Education
NMFR Fire Prevention Bureau, encompasses Fire Prevention, Fire Inspections, Fire Investigations, and Public
Education.
Fire prevention programs include detailed review of all new construction, remodeling of existing structures,
refurbishing older facilities, and changes to any and all fire detection and suppression systems of all commercial
properties and multi-family residential facilities.
Fire inspections are required to be completed by Wisconsin State Statute, for all commercial businesses and
multi-family (3 family or more) residential structures, within our jurisdiction, two times annually (with few
exceptions). This requirement is aided by the 2% dues funding from the State of Wisconsin. In 2022, the City of
Neenah’s 2% dues funding check was $102,271.42, and the City of Menasha’s was $53,371.60.
Fire investigations are required by Wisconsin State statute 165.55, which requires that every fire shall be
investigated for cause, origin and circumstances. NMFR conducts investigations of every fire that occurs within
our jurisdiction and works in conjunction with law enforcement when a fire is determined or suspected to be
incendiary or criminal in nature.
Fire and life safety education (public education), including our juvenile fire setter intervention program, remain
active as well. Our Public Education Team, along with operations personnel, provided public education programs,
fire/life safety presentations, and general fire safety educational information, to more than 17,400 children and
adults through video, social media, and virtual meetings when in person meetings couldn’t be held. The team
continues to conduct fire safety programs at public and private schools in the Neenah and Menasha school
districts during the fire prevention month of October. NMFR has a multi-age based program for Elementary,
Middle and High School students to provide age appropriate fire safety presentations. NMFR focuses on adult
and elderly programs including our ongoing residential smoke detector installs in single family residential homes
throughout the cities of Neenah and Menasha at no cost to the residents through donations from the American
Red Cross.

All of these special disciplines have proven to reduce injury and death yet is difficult when we attempt to compile a
true perspective of the impact. Actual quantifiable numbers for fires prevented, and/or lives saved, by the
information shared and lessons learned during our interaction with individuals cannot be measured as we cannot
place a number or dollar amount on an incident that never occurs. However, we are v ery confident that
maintaining the outstanding level of service that is provide through NMFR, certainly makes a huge difference and
is without a doubt saving lives and property within the communities of Neenah and Menasha.
One of the most significant changes that has been made this year is the migration to a new records management
system. This new system allows us to gather and retain information in real time. Contact information is being
confirmed while fire inspections are being conducted and updated as necessary. The new program also allows us
to map the building and provide data to responding companies in a map form, rather than reading it in a
document, thus making much easier to understand what and where hazards or buil ding features exist.
