City of Neenah
Neenah, Wisconsin
Dear President Stevenson, Honorable Council Members and Citizens:
It is my ple asure to present to you my seventh budget, the 20 22 Operating and Capital
Improvement Budget.
While things do not seem to get any easier when putting this document together I believe this
proposal will keep us on track to continue to provide quality services to our residents and meet
the challenges ahead with planning for our future. The difficulty to stay within levy limits,
expenditure restraint and, spending constraints and keep tax increases to a minimum cannot be
overstated.
While we still are dealing with COVID-19 and the recent variant the task of running the city and
providing the core services necessary to continue operations is imperative. I can honestly say that
the last 18 months has been difficult in so many ways to residents, family, friends and me
personally. Dealing with the daily impacts of this pandemic has taken its toll on everyone and
changed many of our lives and priorities. The impact from the COVID -19 pandemic has created
more uncertainty than ever before. Developing this document has taken me down many paths
and my decisions have been difficult. However, I believe they will help continue the tremendous
progress this community is seeing in so many areas. While we are moving forward and providing
our citizens with the necessary tools to succeed we must remain cautious in the near term until
we know the total impac t from this pandemic or when we will be back to our new normal. I
continue to pray for our community and nation but most importantly the hope for good health of
my family and our residents.
All anyone has to do is look around and see the many positive ch anges taking place throughout
our community. You can look in any direction, n orth, south, east and west ; in all areas of the
city, good things are happening and making a difference in our lives. So with a goal of
continuing to move forward with initiatives that are going to payback dividends to our residents ;
I want us to continue our practices of fiscal responsibility while delivering services that our
constituents support and deserve . We should be proud of where we have been and look forward
to our future here.

In my opinion, the State needs to recognize the increased costs to communities to operate and
provide Public Safety and the C ore services for our residents. Local government and
communities are the engine that drives economic development in the reg ion and state. While I
support and understand the reason for levy limits, the state needs to reassess and update to make
sure municipalities can continue to meet the tremendous challenges within an operating budget
due to relative flat increases in shared revenue aid . At a time where the state had over $4.2
billion in unanticipated revenues in their budget few additional dollars came back to cities to
help with the increased costs of providing the services necessary for communities to grow. After
many years of declining state support, Neenah’s revenues from the state grew slightly with
General Transportation Aids ($47,000 or a 4.26 % increase, and Expenditure Restraint ($21,000)
or a 4.5% increase. The allowable levy increase that is tied to our net new const ruction growth
increased by only $77,000 even with growth of $22.1 million dollars.
Despite all of these challenges, I’m very proud to provide a document that will provide
outstanding quality services to our residents.
Revenue loss from the impact of th e Coronavirus on businesses and families have been
devastating to some and the city also has seen similar results in many areas.
While the State continues to see overall growth in the economy through Corporate and Sales Tax
collections we have seen decre ases in numerous budget lines. This year we will receive
$2,060,530 in shared revenue and expenditure restraint payments from the State. Increases to the
School Aid Formula , along with Medical Assistance needs continue to be priorities ; leaving
communities searching for ways to d o more with less. And because of this, we must take action
now to lay the groundwork to insure necessary services like police and fire emergency s ervices,
will have the necessary funding to serve and protect us. The Federal ARPA dollars will help give
us that relief for the near future and will allow the City to find ways to give back to the
community with these one -time funds . These f unds that must be spent wisely to get the most
payback for our residents today and down the road.
American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA)
As we discussed in recent months, the City of Neenah was very fortunate, as a CDBG
entitlement city, to receive a much higher allotment of American Recovery Plan Act
(ARPA) funds than what is typical for a community of ou r size. In recent weeks we also
discussed that the city finds itself in an advantageous position because of our ability to
access the entire $5.55 million allotment by using the “Revenue Replacement” provision
under the ARPA legislation. Capturing the fund s under that provision allows the City
much broader latitude and substantially increases the number of purposes for which the
funds can ultimately be expended. This includes the ability to use the funds to assist in
funding ongoing public safety operating costs.
Taking all of this into consideration, my recommendation for the use of City ARPA funds
includes allocating approximately 70% of the funds ($4.0 million) to assist in funding
ongoing public safety operating costs. The City would then still have t he remaining 30%
($1.55 million) available for special projects and initiatives. These dollars could be used in
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor

many ways to help the community including non -profits or for projects that have been on
the shelf for so me time now due to a lack of res ources. One of those initiatives I would
propose is allocating dollars to finally bringing a Senior Center / Community Center to our
community. I would propose we look into partnering with an organization to accomplish
this long overdue need. I have also asked the council to utilize $50,000 of the ARP A funds
for Arrowhead Park Fiber replacing general purpose borrowing. In the initial justification
for these funds Congress cited broadband as a potential use of these funds. In addition I
propose to use $300,000 of AR PA funds for the completion of the fountain at Shattuck
Park. We continue to seek out philanthropists or organizations that would be willing to
help defray the costs but believe this is an appropriate funding source if necessary. That
would leave approximately $1.25 mil for the Council to allocate at a later date.
Under this proposal, 2022 would be the first year of a three year plan to earmark
approximately $1.3 million of ARPA funds per year to assist in funding ongoing public
safety operating costs.
In order to not have the City become dependent on a revenue source that will eventually no
longer be available, I am also recommending the City defer the use of various Fund
Transfers and Application of Fund Balance over that same three year period that also total
approximately $1.3 million. With this approach, the City would directly fund $1.3 million
of public safety operating costs using ARPA funds in each of the next three years. By doing
so, the City would then essentially postpone the need for these Fu nd Transfers for the next
three years. By not depleting additional dollars over the next three year period, this, in
turn, will help these various Funds maintain their integrity and viability. Once the ARPA
funding earmarked for this purpose has been exh austed, the affected Funds would then be
in a healthier position financially for the City to again apply these Fund Transfers to assist
in funding General Fund operations.
With that being said I’m proud to inform you this budget proposal meets all the requirements for
the state levy limit and expenditure restraint requirements (ERP). While these constraints hinder
our ability to add additional employees or programming due to fixed costs like salaries, benefits
and health insurance . I have included one add itional sworn Police Officer to focus on Traffic
Patrol throughout the community as calls for service have increased and traffic enforcement has
suffered. Other positons were requested but were denied even though strong arguments were
made for them. We will continue to provide the current level of services.
In the end , my preference is to create a budget that w ill continue to provide a path to maintain
fiscal discipline, while providing a great quality of living for our residents. This document will
continue to make sound decisions with spending while laying the groundwork for future
economic development within our community. We have ongoing buildings and construction
projects that will increase tax base and more jobs for our citizens. Because our ability to increase
revenues is dependent on growing our value so we can further invest in programs and initiatives
that will help our tax base investing in initiatives to further growth is important. Our market
value of the community , as determined by the State, has grown. This year our equalized value
growth as determined by the State was $106,970,300, an increase of 4.38%.
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 21, 2021 – Page 4
My principles that guide me in putting this document forward have not changed.
1. Our staff and employees are excellent and an integ ral part of our organization. We utilize
both our staff and Council to review and reorganize tasks to find alternative methods to
improve services to our citizens.
2. Keeping the property tax levy for city purposes below the amount allowed by the state
limit.
3. Keep rates for municipal fees at or below their current level whenever possible.
4. Continue to manage the City Debt load.
5. Continue to plan for the future by providing dollars for Economic Development
opportunities for valuation growth.
6. Continue to invest in our roads and infrastructure needs.
These goals are in line with previous budgets and insure we stay within the levy limits, keep
expenditure increases within range to qualif y for expenditure rate program, improve our
infrastructure and look for ways to enhance economic development opportunities to grow our tax
base. I look to continue the quality of life we enjoy here in Neenah while making sure we stay
within the taxpayer’s ability to pay.
Because many people are still struggling to pay the bills , we worked very hard to keep any
increase in property taxes minimal.
The proposed operating budget saw our department heads identify and ask for needs of just over
$27.8 million for 20 22. I’m recommending a reduction from the requests of almost $ 930,000
leaving a final expenditure budget of just over $ 26.9 million. As stated earlier, the City is
allowed to increase the tax levy to support the operating budget by about $75,000. In addition,
the City also has $46,470 of unused levy limit available from previous years. After not applying
either of those options for the 2021 budget , I hav e decided it necessary to incorporate both
options for 2022. In ad dition, the 2022 tax levy increases under my influence that will affect
property taxpayers will also include : 1). A Joint Fire/Rescue levy limit exemption of $ 145,000
and 2). A Debt Service Levy increase of $ 200,000. The tax levy to support TIF districts within
the City is a direct result of State equalized value calc ulations and is not within the control of the
City or its elected officials. All told, the final proposed levy (after TIF) is just over $20 million,
an increase of $321,800, or 1.63%.
As proposed, the final estimated assessed tax rate (pending final as sessed value numbers ) is
proposed to increase 1.71% for property owners . That translates to a tax rate of $ 8.5396
per $1,000 of assessed valuation, a $.144 (14.4 cents) increase, or $14.40 for every $100,000 of
assessed property value. Keep in mind that changes to the estimated final assessed value
numbers could change these amounts slightly either up or down. .
Based upon notice from our health care provider , the City is budgeting a 5% increase amounting
to approximately a $200,000 increase over last year’s expenditure for employee health care in all
City funds. Our relationship with Robin Health will also have us change our provider for the
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 21, 2021 – Page 5
clinic to ThedaCare. The Health Care Clinic for employees continues to see increases in
utilization and helps keep costs down.
While the economy and job opportunities are excellent, uncertainty with supply chain for
materials continue and labor costs continue to escalate due to market forces and demand.
Inflation and price of materials is seein g our costs to do projects rise by an average of 20% in
projects. For those reasons k eeping taxes and fee increases to a minimum in this environment
needs to continue.
In the Capital Projects portion of this document this year the original requests from d epartments
were $23,522,640 million. I lowered that by about $7.6 million to $ 15.8 million in total capital
spending. To help fund those projects, I have proposed borrowing $15.5 million.
With the escalating costs due to increasing labo r and supplies k eeping up with maintenance of
roads, buildings, equipment and infrastructure is challenging. Similar to other years I will be
proposing to redo 8 roads within the city at a cost of about $2.3 million. Waiting will only end up
costing us more dollars.
The good news is that at the end of 2021 our General Obligation debt load as a percent of the
statutory limit will be 46.9%, which is still down from 51.8% when I was first elected Mayor.
Our total debt including Storm Water Revenue and CDA Lea se Revenue Bonds has decreased
from 76.8% down to 59.3 % in the same time frame.
Work is progressing in TIF 8 on two high value private investments to the district, a mixed use /
multi-family development with a combined value of just over $19.2 million. “The Plaza”, a gift
from a group headed up by John Bergstrom of a beautiful ice skating facility and community
gathering spot will open soon and will be a regional attraction that will bring more visitors to the
downtown area.
In TIF 10 , I’m recommending $100,000 in additional dollars for land assemblage for parking,
redevelopment or project assistance. And in TIF 11 , $775,000 which will be used for utility,
pedestrian trail and street i mprovements for the Hwy JJ and Pendleton Road Roundabout
construction with Winnebago County.
While the Covid pandemic brought less stress on parking needs, the need will only be greater in
the near future when all employees return to work in the downtown. Visitors to the new skating
rink, ThedaCare moving into the towers and companies expressing the need to hire more
employees will further the need for a parking structure. While we are close to securing a site, the
timetable is still uncertain. Consequently, I have taken $5 million out of this document and will
propose a s eparate borrowing at the time of construction to help stabilize our regular yearly
borrowing. I have included $500,000 in TIF 10 to begin the design and engineering of a new
parking ramp when a site is identified.
With large projects being proposed we ne ed to prioritize our borrowing . Thus, I will ask that we
push back new work on Arrowhead Park. However planning and design dollars of $180,000 will
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 21, 2021 – Page 6
remain but construction will be pushed back a year. We still have over $2 million dollars in
unspent funds f rom prior years’ work that still needs to be completed . I also have included a
small upgrade to Island Park with matching dollars from the Senator Ellis Charitable Fund that
will be used to enhance that underutilized park. I propose to rename the park in h is honor for all
his contributions to the co mmunity he grew up in and served as Alderman, State Assemblyman
and State Senator.
Some additional dollars to complete the new dog park are also included along with an upgrade to
Fresh Air Park Roadway.
A commitment to continue to upgrade equipment and facilities is ongoing and necessary. A new
Automated Solid Waste Refuse Truck is in this proposal, a leaf picker and various other trucks
and tractors are necessary to provide quality services.
Our public safety departments continue to see an increase in calls for service and respond to
situations that make a difference in people’s lives . When our citizens need emergency services ,
they can be sure that our employees are professional and committed to protecting pr operty and
saving lives. I have included the necessary dollars for the Police Department addition and
upgrades of $5.5 million dollars to meet the needs of the department. Our officers are providing
service that excels to our community. N-M Fire Rescue is a shining star in responding daily for
EMS services protecting our homes and businesses when needed. Knowing that we have a highly
trained department prepared to do what is necessary to protect property and lives is comforting
for our community. Mayor Merkes and I are proposing $409,000 for a new fire truck to continue
our replacement cycle.
I promised an aggressive road improvement schedule. While I have moved one project back a
year (Bergstrom Road) we will continue to spend over $ 6.9 million (including Sanitary Sewer,
Storm and Water) next year on our road projects. Road construction is never pretty and the best
comment is when it is done , everyone is usually pleased. I have proposed eight road projects in
2022 including the sanitary portion of Commerci al Street (Stanley – Wright) to prepare for the
total reconstruction in a few years.
Regarding recycling, due to some proposed funding adjustments, t he annual recycling f ee is
proposed to decrease $3 from $40 to $37 next year. .
Technology and IS services will have dollars to continue Smart Cities initiatives throughout the
community, which will help provide better services. I have also proposed moving GIS from its
current location to Community Development where it is better suited to help plan for the future.
Continuing our commitment to LEAN practices will continue to find ways to be more efficient in
processes throughout our work areas. We will continue to fund one or two employees in the
Leadership Fox Cities program in 2022.
Making sure we stay competitive in the marketplace and within our peers for wages and benefits
is important. The market is driving wages up significantly thus I will propose a salary study in
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 21, 2021 – Page 7
2022. The budget provides for an average of approximately 3.25 % wage increase depending
upon employee perf ormance reviews. We have made great strides in improving our salary
structure so we are competitive in order to retain a quality workforce. In addition dollars have
been included for a wage increase for newly elected alderman and the Mayors position. It has
been eight years since the last increase and recognizing the work involved and the
responsibilities with the jobs justifies a slight increase.
As always this budget proposal is a collection of my priorities as our elected leader. I try to listen
to you, our elected legislative branch along with the citizens I come into daily contact with. This
community is fortunate to have a group of dedicated elected leaders like yourself that strives to
provide this community with quality services while being good stewards of the taxpayer’s dollar.
It is by no means a perfect document. I tried to listen to the staff’s rationale and weigh that
against all the priorities in the budget. This is a document that will have us c ontinue to move
forward and meet many of the needs of our community so that we do not fall behind. I applaud
our department heads for carefully scrutinizing their requests keeping the taxpayers in mind. My
purpose was to prioritize and determine the best solution. In many cases, there are different ways
to get to achieve similar outcomes. I welcome your input and ideas to make this document even
better.
I want to especially thank Mike Easker , Deb Calabrese and Andy Kahl in the Finance
Department along with my Administrative Assistant Joni Heinz for helping me put together this
budget. It is transparent and user friendly. I look forward to working with the Council and
interested citizens to improve this document in the coming weeks.
This is definitely the longest budget letter in history (LOL) but necessary to provide you the best
information I can. Thanks for what you do.

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).

Increases (Decreases) to Revenue Requested
1). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit $75,000
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit restrictions based upon net new construction, the City maximum levy increase for its operating budget is limited to $77,625.
As such, I am recommending using $75,000 of that amount to apply towards the 2022 operating budget, leaving $2,625 available for
levy limit carryforward to future years.
2). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit 46,470
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 $46,470
available in previous year's unused levy limit. I am proposing to use the full amount of those funds as part of the proposed tax levy to balance the
2022 operating budget.
3). Property Tax Levy Increase - Fire/Rescue 145,000
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 2022 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 2022 totals $254,500, with the amount eligible for levy limit exemption totaling $149,212. Of this eligible
amount, the 2022 budget recommends the use of a Joint Fire/Rescue Levy Limit Exemption of $145,000.
4). Use General Fund Unassigned Reserves 100,000
Mayor's Comments:
The City ended fiscal year 2020 with a General Fund undesignated fund balance of $5,026,480 and a total fund balance of $5,393,892. Current
estimates for 2021 indicate the City would end the year with a net expenditure less revenue deficit of $399,820. This number excludes the
budgeted application of both assigned ($27,507) and unassigned ($225,000) fund balance. I am recommending the use of $100,000 of
unassigned fund balance as part of the proposed 2022 General Fund budget, a decrease of $125,000 from the $225,000 of unassigned fund
balance applied as part of the 2021 budget. The amount is also $250,000 less than initial budget projections prior to my decision to recommend
the use of $250,000 of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds to partially offset the use of General Fund Reserves. Please see No. 7 below
for a more detailed explanation.

5). Library Operating Carryforward 20,000
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 $68,895 as of 12/31/20. At this point, no additional funds are
expected to be available from 2020 operations. $30,000 of those funds were used to offset expenditures in the 2021 budget. I am
recommending using $20,000 of those ongoing carry forward funds to offset expenditures in the 2022 Library operating budget.
6). Fines & Forfeitures 20,000
Mayor's Comments:
As stated in the Police Department expenditure narrative, I am recommending funding one additional new patrol officer dedicated specifically to
traffic enforcement. With the addition of the new traffic enforcement officer, I would assume that revenue through fines and forfeitures would increase
with the increased emphasis on traffic enforcement and education will produce more revenue. While the new position is being created to deal with a
perceived problem, the decision is not to generate revenue, however, the results will more than likely result increased revenue.
7). General Fund Reserves/Transfers/Use of ARPA Funds for Public Safety
Mayor's Comments:
As we discussed in recent months, the City of Neenah was very fortunate, as an CDBG entitlement city, to receive a much higher allotment of
American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds than what was typical for a community of our size. In recent weeks we also discussed that the
City finds itself in an advantageous position because of our ability to access the entire $5.55 million allotment by using the "Revenue Replacement"
provision under ARPA legislation. Capturing the funds under that provision allows the City much broader latitude and substantially increases
the number of purposes for which the funds can ultimately be expended. This includes the ability to use the funds to assist in funding ongoing
public safety operating costs.
Taking all of this into consideration, my recommendation for the use of City ARPA funds includes allocating approximately 70% of the funds
($4.0 million) to assist in funding ongoing public safety operating costs. The City would then still have the remaining 30% ($1.55 million) available
for special projects and initiatives.
Under this proposal, 2022 would be the first year of a three year plan to earmark approximately $1.3 million of ARPA funds per year to assist in
funding ongoing public safety operating costs. In order to not have the City become dependent on a revenue source that will eventually no longer be
available, I am also recommending the City defer the use of various Fund Transfers and Application of Fund Balance over that same three year
period that also total approximately $1.3 million.
With this approach, the City would directly fund $1.3 million of public safety operating costs using ARPA funds in each of the next three years. By
doing so, the City would then essentially postpone the need for these Fund Transfers for the next three years. By not depleting additional dollars over
the next three year period, this, in turn, will help these various Funds maintain their integrity and viability . Once the ARPA funding earmarked
for this purpose has been exhausted, the affected Funds would then be in a healthier position financially for the City to again apply these Fund
Transfers to assist in funding General Fund operations.
Regarding following federal guidelines on the use of ARPA funds, both City staff and our auditors Baker Tilly agree that, since the ARPA funds
themselves would specifically be used to fund the "direct provision of services to citizens", using the funds in this manner would not violate the
federal guidance that prohibits specifically using the funds to "replenish rainy day or other reserve funds".
Below is a summary of the recommended use of ARPA funds and postponed transfers offsets:
Use of General Fund Reserves (250,000)
Transfer from Benefit Accrual Fund (265,000)
Transfer from I/S Fund (180,000)
Transfer from Parking Fund (143,560)
Transfer from Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund (5,000)
Transfer from Dial-A-Ride (5,000)
Transfer from Compost (5,000)
Transfer from Industrial Development Fund (5,000)
Transfer from Recycling Fund (30,000)
Transfer from Small Business Loan Fund (5,000)
Transfer from Preparedness Grant Fund (10,000)
Transfer from Alliant Energy PILOT Fund (247,190)
Transfer from Developer Land Sales Fund (100,000)
Transfer from NMFR Fund (50,000) (1,300,750)
Transfer from ARPA Fund 1,300,000

The 2022 budget includes a $40,000 increase to Outside Services to conduct a full salary plan review that will consider
the effects of both internal and external (market) conditions. Given that the review is a one-time cost that directly affects
the City's wage and benefit structure, I am recommending that the cost be funded within the City's Benefit Accrual Fund.

Mayor's Comments: (20,000)
I am recommending a $20,000 reduction in budgeted Overtime to assist in balancing the 2022 budget. The reduction would create a
budget number that more closely reflects recent trends in actual Police overtime costs.
Mayor's Comments: (238,630)
The Police Department 2022 budget included the request to add three additional staff positions. Those positions with annual costs are Police
Captain ($131,020), Investigator ($107,610) and Traffic Enforcement Officer ($90,830).
While the statistics and National staffing standards would suggest additional sworn personnel I am recommending funding one additional new
Traffic Enforcement Officer Position in the Police Department. At a time of difficult levy limits I believe our citizens support Public Safety initiatives
and funding. The position of traffic enforcement officer position will address an issue of significant concern in the community and also allow other
concentrate on the increased call for service throughout the community. This position will help to educate and send a message that aggressive
driving behavior will not be tolerated within our community. I have received many requests from citizens and elected positions for more patrols
throughout the community.
Due to operating budget constraints I will not recommend the additional Captain position and an additional investigator position at this time that
has been requested. While Neenah like many cities our size around the country is experiencing an uptick in criminal activity we are handling the
complaints in a timely manner currently. We also have mutual aid agreements in place with neighboring communities to deal with major cases.
After the building addition is complete, we can take another look at these positions in the future.

Mayor's Comments:
Proposed funding change to prepay for five years various annual I/S service and maintenance contracts and fund those costs with borrowed
funds. The change would both eliminate the expenditure from the operating budget and operating levy as well as saving almost 16% in total
I/S services and maintenance contract costs over the five-year period. The net cost savings is reflected as a General Fund expenditure reduction
in the Special Reserves and Escrow section. It will then reduce various I/S service related fees to all City operating budgets.

PROGRAM COMMENTS Program:
Non-Tax Levy Revenues
Submitted by:
Michael Easker
Payments In Lieu of Taxes
Represents the payment made to the City by the Wa ter 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 2020 -2021. For 2022, that payment is est imated to increase from the 2021
budgeted amount by $90,990, or 9.44 %. An expenditure item in a like amount is included in th e Water Utility's
budget in 2022. Also included in 2022 is $16 ,400 in payments from other tax -exempt properties (Fox Cities
Retirement Village, 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, 2022 is the sixth year of a payment ($12,000)
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 forwards the funds to the City on a quarterly basis. Prior to 2016, the room tax
in the City of Neenah wa s 5% on all room night revenues fr om 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 new exhibition center located in downtown Appleton, 2% room
tax pledged to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center (PAC) in downtown Appleton and 1% earmarked to fund future
sports facilities within the Fox Valley region. The final 1% of the 10% is retained by the City. The City also retains 5%
of the funds earmarked to the CVB for administration purposes. Due to the continued effects of COVID-19 on the
travel and tourism industry, room tax collections are expected to remain flat in 2022.
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, Shared 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, Shared Revenue
will remain flat for 2022.
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 comm unities 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 diminish ed in recent years.
The City’s ERP payment decreased in 2018 by 2.33%, 4.16% in 2019, 3.3% in 2020 and 9.78% in 2021. For 2022
the City’s ERP payment is now expected to increase by 4.52%, or $20,930.
The total of the combined State Revenue Sharing Programs of $2,060,530 which includes the Expenditure Restraint
Payment. This compares to $3,013,800 received as recently as 2003 – a loss in actual do llars of $1 million
over that 19 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 now under 8% of
the City’s operating budget in 2022.
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 the 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 2022 the
amount then will remain flat at the 2019 amount of $150,800.
Federal, State, Local Aids
Includes highway maintenance aids received from the State Transportation Trust Fund (gasoline sales t axes and
other automotive related fees) for street and highway maintenance. These aids are based on a prescribed cost
reimbursement formula. From a historical perspective , as recently as 2009, the City received $1,253,920 in State
Transportation Aids. A s part of the 2011 State Budget, transp ortation aids declined substantially. In 2012, the
reduction equaled a 9.6% decrease. After a small decrease in 2013, transportation aids rose 2.5% in 2014, only to
decline an estimated $54,670 (4.88%) for 2015 and $24,880 (2.34%) for 2016. In 2017, aids increased $19,550

(1.88%) and $21,985 (2.08%) in 2019. Due to increased funding in the recent State budget, the City realized an
increase for 2020 totaling $83,330, or 8.11%. For 2021, the state determined that funding would remain flat. For
2022, the City is expected to receive an increase of $46,610, or 4.26%. Even with the 2022 increase, all told,
since 2009 the City has seen a real dollar reduction in State Transportation Aids of $113,700 , which
calculates to a 9.07% decrease in actual dollars over a 13–year period.
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 ($30,140) equal to
5% of the City’s Cable TV Franchise Fee Revenue. That payment is projected to remain flat at $59,980 for 2022.
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 greater 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
and $225,000 in 2021. This plan contemplates using a maximum of $100,000 of General Fund reserves to
balance the 2022 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 budge ted revenue is expected to remain
essentially flat in at $67,050 in 2022.
Health Inspection Fees
After months of study, responsibility for the City’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 2022, fees are estimated to remain essentially flat at $25,520.
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 general revenues. Due to the continuing trend of lower Cable TV Franchise Fees, the City will
budget a decrease for these revenue sources in 2022 of $28,360, or 8.91%.
Special Charges
These revenues are directly related to Public Works operations. They represent those portions of costs of services
that are of special benefit to individual properties or property owners and billed accordingly (e.g. weed cutting and
snow removal).
Public Library
Receipts from fines and rental fees. 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 decrease by $9,960, or 1.04% in 2022,
along with the use of $20,000 of Library operating carryforward funds.

Non-Tax Levy Revenues

Public Safety - Police Department
Receipts are from photocopies of records, damage recoveries, photo ID's as well as the sale of used police vehicles.
Also included is reimbursement from the Neenah Joint School District for the Liaison Officer program, which is
approximately 75% of the cost of the program.
Government Services
Charges for services provided by the City Finance, Legal and Human Resources and Safety departm ents. 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
$15,130, or 3.71%, in 2022.
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 $4,700 (3.73%) in 2022.
Oak Hill Cemetery
Burial service fees, sales of lots, reimbursement for the care of veterans' lots and interest earned from Perpetual
Care Fund investments. Since 2013, revenue has been categorized to provide greater detail as to the source of
revenue. 2022 is the sixth year funds are budgeted under Miscellaneous Revenue for net revenue generated from
an agreement in which the City would provide services to the adjoining St. Margaret Cemetery. Based upon a review
of surrounding areas and the lack of an increase in fees for a number of years, Cemetery staff received approval to
increase fees effective starting in 2022. With that increase in place, total cemetery revenues for 2022 are
anticipated to increase by $27,770 (21.7%) from 2021 budgeted revenue.
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. Beginning in 2015, the City began to experience
small but improved yield opportunities . Investment income estimated for 2018 and 2019 reflected a significant
increase in shorter terms rates over that period. Unfortunately, the effects of COVID-19 continue on the financial
markets, leading to persistently low short and long term rates. Taken as a whole, revenue for investment income
in 2022 is budgeted to decrease by $22,500, or 4.56%.
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. Collections have begun to trend up in 2018, leading to
increased fine revenue. Also includes false alarm fees from residential and commercial security systems. The 2022
proposed operating budget includes funding for a Traffic Control Officer within the Police Department, which will likely
lead to increased traffic citations. All told, the City is budgeting $20,000 (20.4%) more in revenue for 2022.
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 employment 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 3.74%, or $5,000, in 2022.

Non-Tax Levy Revenues
Submitted by:
Michael Easker
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 par k land from th e Town of
Neenah). Overall revenue in this category is expected to increase by $8,940, or 9.23%, in 2022.
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 $67,500 in 2022, $14,980 more than the
2021 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 recrea tion programs, Riverside Players ticket sales, pool fees an d recreation building
revenue. For all programs and rentals, the total estimated revenue, budget-to-budget, is expected to remain
basically flat for 2022.
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 for 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 engineering
and administration for services provided to the Sanitary Sewer Utility in accordance with the fee structure adopted in
1991. Similarly, the transfer from the Storm Water Management Fund is reimbursement for costs incurred for
engineering and administration for services provided to the Storm Water Utility in accordance with the fee structure
adopted in 2003. The transfer from the Parking Fund is for the costs incurred by the Police and Public Works
Departments and administration costs for services provided to the Parking Utility. The transfer from the Recycling
Fund is for engineering and administrative costs incurred by the Public Works and other departments. The Industrial
Development Fund transfer includes reimbursement for admi nistrative costs incurred for economic development
planning and area wide storm water management studies. Transfers for the Benefit Accrual Fund health insurance
reserve to help offset the cost of employee health insurance coverage have been used in recent years. 2022 is the
tenth year of the estimated transfer of the City of Neenah’s share of unspent 2021 budgeted funds from the operation
of the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue. New in 2021 were transfers from two newly created Special Revenue Funds.
The first accounts for funds that the City anticipates will be g enerated from land sales related to the City’s planned
resale of land to a residential developer from whom the City purchased the land in 2020. The second is for new
revenue generated from a state mandate revenue share related to the generating capacity of the Alliant Energy Plant
on CTH CB. The plant was attached to the City from the Town of Neenah as part of an intergovernmental agreement
that includes the City and Town equally sharing the state payment. New for 2022 is the City transfer of $1.3 million
from the City’s $5.5 million allotment of American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funds. This would be the first year of a
three year plan to use ARPA funds for this purpose. In order to not have the City become dependent on a revenue
source that will eventually no longer be available, the City would plan to defer the use of various fund transfers and
application of fund balance over that same period that also total approximately $1.3 million. The City would then
again plan to apply these Fund Transfers once the ARPA funding for this purpose had been exhausted. Overall,
fund transfers for 2022 are budgeted to increase by $407,580 (13.45%) from the 2021 budgeted amount.

MAYOR’S OFFICE 0201-701
Goals and Responsibilities:
The Neenah Mayor serves as the City’s chief executive officer and is elected for a four -year term. The
Mayor is responsible for the day -to-day management of all City departments with all department heads
reporting to this office. Through the Five-Year Capital Expenditure Plan and annual Operating Budget, the
Mayor proposes major programs and priorities for Council consideration, communicating a clear vision for
the community’s future growth and development. Communication with the Council, staff and most
importantly the public, responsiveness to citizen concerns, proactive problem solving and creative
management of City business are the focal points of the Mayor’s responsibilities. The Mayor’s position is
not so much about authority as it is duty and responsibility.
Activities:
Based on the above responsibilities, the Mayor serves all Neenah citizens, responding promptly to their
concerns and charting a direction for the community that will make Neenah a better place to live. In addition
to working with dep artment heads to present a Five -Year Capital Expenditure Plan and annual Operating
and Capital Budget for Council consideration, the Mayor chairs the Common Council and Plan Commission
meetings and serves as President of the Water Commission. Either the M ayor or his designee serves on
the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum Board and the Mayor is an ex-officio member of the Future Neenah Board
of Directors appointing a designee from the Council to represent his office. He represents the City at a wide-
range of civic e vents both in Neenah and the surrounding communities. The Mayor supervises City staff,
conducts performance evaluations of department heads, participates in the selection process of key staff,
conducts regular department head meetings, meets with or commun icates with employees, updates the
Council on a weekly basis and meets with interested citizens. The Mayor is responsible for promoting the
community, directing long-range planning and developing consensus toward implementing those plans. He
is also responsible for supervising the day-to-day operations of the City. Some say you can’t fight City Hall,
but in Neenah you don’t have to because elected officials and staff work for the citizens of this community
and our job is to serve them.
2021 Accomplishments:
Actively involved in sustainability of current businesses, support for new ones and assisting small
businesses to grow and flourish in the City.
Continued consulting and collaboration with ThedaCare and other health care resources to navigate
and respond to COVID related health care directives to influence the safety and well -being of city
employees and residents.
Implemented new hours of business for City Hall during summer to extend access to do business at
city hall until 5 PM. This was a trial that proved successful with improved customer service for our
residents.
Arrowhead Park enhancement for the Neenah portion of “Loop the Lake” trail cont inues with phase
1b; prairie, pathways and pier. Final design and planning documents will be prepared with the bidding
process occurring in late fall of 2021.
Cautiously and carefully opened the City up for events in 2021. Worked closely with our partner
Future Neenah, event planners, city staff and public health officials to hold successful and safe
events for the community to attend.
Our downtown continues to see extraordinary new growth and development. There is a very high
percentage of occupancy because of the unique atmosphere the downtown presents.
Continued participation with local media outlets to further promote news and events within the City
including: WHBY – Focus Fox Valley Show, WFRV – Community Updates, The Post Crescent, WBAY,
WVBO and WOSH interviews throughout the year.
-69-
Continued networking and involvement with local cities, county and state organizations such as Fox
Cities Chamber, East Central Wisconsin Planning Commission, Economic Development Council – Fox
Cities Regional Partnership and League of Wisconsin Municipalities.
Connecting with the community through guest speaker/presenter events with the local Girls and Boy
Scouts, Boys & Girls Brigade, local area schools, Neenah Club, Retirement Complexes (Island Shores),
GFCA Habitat for Humanity, N/M Elks Lodge and Fox Cities Morning Rotary Club to name a few.
Lakeshore Avenue road and trail construction completed in late spring of 2021. The trail unearthed a
large amount of Native American historical artifacts including gravesites that date from A.D. 0 to A.D.
1400.To help tell the story of this important geological and Native American historic site , interpretive
and interactive signs were installed along this scenic trail. The recently completed road and newly
added trail, will only enhance and invite more visitors to what is already a favorite destination to look
out over picturesque Lake Winnebago.
The social media experience with Facebook, Instagram, twitter, our website and the scrolling marquee
in the lobby continue to keep the community up -to-date and informed on many of the happenings and
the issues that affect them. A website ‘refresh’ is in the works and expected to be unveiled mid-
December. The renewed layout and appearance will only add to the customer experience. Approval for
digital signage installation to the exterior of City Hall will further the goal of connecting residents to city
business. Sign will be installed in early 2022.
Online city services grew extensively in 2021. Many services sought by residents are now a click away,
available 24/7 including fire permits, boat launch permits, large item pickup and refuse cart request or
exchange to name a few.
The Dog Park is open! Development will continue as funding is available to complete entryway concrete
and a mow guard under the fencing.
The city’s efforts to improve efficiencies through our city -wide LEAN initiatives has really taken root
resulting in time and cost savings in all departments. LEAN is a means to both identify and then
implement the most efficient, value added way to provide governm ent services. It is a method that
eliminates waste to help maximize efficiencies
2022 Goals/Plans:
In 2022 our focus will be on continuing the high level of service to our residents throughout city government.
Our employees will strive to provide a level of quality services and find ways to do things efficiently with
limited resources. Continued communication and listening to our residents on ways to improve services will
be a top priority.
As Mayor, the open -door policy will continue . This Council and Mayor will be active and visible in the
community and will give residents many opportunities to provide valua ble input and suggestions for the
Mayor and Council to consider.
Our economic development policies have begun to pay off with projects being completed and some moving
forward throughout the City. Creating opportunities to enhance our tax base and provide good paying jobs
in our community will improve our quality of life for our residents. The State has made the ability to grow
our financial resources dependent upon new growth in the community. We are in a unique position in that
our public/private partnership ventures will help stimulate growth.
New residential growth continues with Integrity Acres subdivision (37 lots), Freedom Acres subdivision (14
lots) and with the future development of 100 acres of city -owned land north and west of Freedom Acres
(approximately 100 more lots).

Apartment developments continue to positively impact our housing needs. Solaris on Main (71 units
overlooking Arrowhead Park in Downtown) is expected to be completed in spring 2022. 201 W. Wisconsin
Avenue (39 units, 4000 square feet of commercial space, a nd 7,000 square feet of office space) looks to
be complete in summer 2022. The Cobblestone Creek Apartments (53 units) are nearing completion with
many units already occupied and a waiting list formed.
The Plaza at Gateway Park is nearing completion and will be open in October 2021. This is a “game
changer” for this community and will put Neenah on the map as a tourist destination.
Continued development is imperative to allow our tax base to grow. An emphasis will be made to d eliver
new projects throughout Neenah. The South Commercial Street district has recently begun to see new life
and effort will be made to formulate a plan for continued investment.
Our recreation facilities, parks and trails will continue to be enhanced with new equipment and upgrades.
A new trail that will connect with the current trail around the former golf course is being planned with financial
help from Jewelers Mutual and a land donation from Bridgewood Conference Center. The trail will go over
the slough and join up on Jewelers Park Drive and Harrison Street.
The Mayor’s office, City staff and the Director of the Library, prepare a quarterly newsletter, mailed to every
Neenah citizen in an effort to improve the lines of communication, keep people better informed and to solicit
ideas and input. This valuable tool is to provide our citizens insight, knowledge and to keep them up -to-
date of policies, schedules and items of interest.
Our forward thinking has put us in a good position to be able to plan and acquire property in the downtown
district for additional parking needs. An effort to find a suitable location for a possible parking structure is
underway and design and engineering is planned for 2022.
Training opportunities for our employees and making sure they have the proper equipment to adequately
provide the service to our residents is a priority. We will have the best public safety officers consisting of
police, fire and fir st responders to continue to show the public that we are a great place to live, work and
play.
My goals are simple, make us better than before. With your help, ideas and support together we will be
able to accomplish anything. Along the road there will be bumps but we will be able to weather the storm
and continue to make Neenah a great community today and tomorrow. We all know what a wonderful place
we live in, now we need to show how and why we love it here. “Neenah, No Place I’d Rather Be!”

I am recommending a $500 Mayor's Executive Adjustment to assist in balancing the 2022 budget. Department Head will be
responsible to identify specific reductions to incorporate into the line item budget prior to December 31, 2021.
Mayor's Comments: (40,000)
The 2022 budget includes a $40,000 increase to Outside Services to conduct a full salary plan review that will consider
the effects of both internal and external (market) conditions. Given that the review is a one-time cost that directly affects
the City's wage and benefit structure, I am recommending that the cost be funded within the City's Benefit Accrual Fund.

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,
traffic and pedestrian safety, and order maintenance. Supporting programs and services include animal control, nuisance
abatement, neighborhood watch, "Charlie Check-First", school crossing guards, school liaison officers, honor guard,
and many others. We staff a full-time crime prevention officer, a drug enforcement officer, two school liaison officers,
a training officer, on-call emergency response and tactical teams, and an investigative team, as well as many other
specialty assignments.

Mayor's Comments:
I am recommending a $35,000 Mayor's Executive Adjustment to assist in balancing the 2022 budget. Department Head will be
responsible to identify specific reductions to incorporate into the line item budget prior to December 31, 2021.
Mayor's Comments: (20,000)
I am recommending a $20,000 reduction in budgeted Overtime to assist in balancing the 2022 budget. The reduction would create a
budget number that more closely reflects recent trends in actual Police overtime costs.
Mayor's Comments: (238,630)
The Police Department 2022 budget included the request to add three additional staff positions. Those positions with annual costs are
Police Captain ($131,020), Investigator ($107,610) and Traffic Enforcement Officer ($90,830).
While the statistics and National staffing standards would suggest additional sworn personnel I am recommending funding one additional
new Traffic Enforcement Officer Position in the Police Department. At a time of difficult levy limits I believe our citizens support Public Safety
initiatives and funding. The position of traffic enforcement officer position will address an issue of significant concern in the community and
also allow other concentrate on the increased call for service throughout the community. This position will help to educate and send a
message that aggressive driving behavior will not be tolerated within our community. I have received many requests from citizens and
elected positions for more patrols throughout the community.
Due to operating budget constraints I will not recommend the additional Captain position and an additional investigator position at this time
that has been requested. While Neenah like many cities our size around the country is experiencing an uptick in criminal activity we are
handling the complaints in a timely manner currently. We also have mutual aid agreements in place with neighboring communities to deal
with major cases. After the building addition is complete, we can take another look at these positions in the future.
