Members of the Common Council and Community
City of Neenah
Neenah, Wisconsin
Dear President Stevenson, Honorable Council Members and Citizens:
It is my pleasure to present to you my sixth budget, the 2021 Operating and Capital Improvement
Budget. This past year has been unlike any othe r time in my life. The impact from the COVID-
19 Virus has created more uncertainty than ever before. As I prepared for putting this document
together, I pondered which path to follow for the upcoming budget year. No one knows the total
impact from this pandemic or when we will be back to our new normal. This has certainly caused
many sleepless nights worrying about the futu re of our community, but most importantly the
hope for good health of my family and our residents. This has truly been life altering in so many
ways and I pray for everyone’s health and the hope that “we will get through this together”.
Slow and steady is my message I decided would be the hope as we move on to this year’s budget
deliberations. While taking a tim e out or pausing initiatives ma y sound good to some, I believe
for our future it is time to keep our foot on the gas, albeit a safe, slow speed forward.
We continue to be faced with challenges due to st rict levy limits imposed by the state and zero
increases in shared revenue aid. Unfortunately, other state revenue is decreasing in such areas as
General Transportation Aids (-$26,520), a 2.37% reduction, and Expenditure Restraint
(-$50,190), a 9.78% reduction. To ma ke matters even worse, the State imposed an allowable
levy increase that is tied to our net new construction growth increased a miniscule $39,792 based
upon net construction growth of a pproximately $15 million. Despite all of these challenges, I’m
very proud to provide a document that will provide outstanding quality services to our residents.
While the impact of the Coronavirus on businesses and families has not been fully determined
yet, the State continues to see overall growth in the economy. 1). In 1983 the state funded over
45% of our budget through shared revenue and th is year that number is about 8%. 2). As
recently as 2003, the City received $3,013,800 in shared revenue and expenditure restraint
payments from the State; the estimate for 2021 from those same sources is $2,039,630,
a loss in actual dollars of close to $1 million over that 18-year period. Increases to the School
Aid Formula along with Medical Assistance needs continue to be priorities, leaving communities
searching for ways to do more with less. More than ever before, it is now clear that this trend is
unsustainable and must be addres sed for our community and others to continue to thrive and
grow.

Also, more than ever, the challenges this year of meeting the state levy limit and expenditure
restraint requirements (ERP) were daunting. The ERP and levy limits severely restrict our ability
to add additional employees or pr ogramming due to fixed costs in creasing yearly. Requests for
additional positions were denied even though j ustification was made for them. No current
services will be eliminated in the budget. Much of what we do is to provide services to our
residents, which translates into a higher percentage of employee salaries making up a larger
percentage of our entire budget.
So we have a choice and my preference is to crea te a budget that will continue to provide a path
to maintain fiscal discipline, wh ile 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 comm unity. We are moving forward with numerous
new buildings and construction pr ojects that will create a new 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 in itiatives 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 $2,440,145,100, an
increase of 2.78%.
Every year I remind myself of my principles that guide me in putting this document forward.
1. Our staff and employees are excellent a nd an integral part of our organization. We utilize
both our staff and Council to re view and reorganize tasks to find alternative methods to
improve services to our citizens.
2. Keeping the property tax levy for city pu rposes 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 qualify for expenditure rate program, continue the tradition
of paying off more than we borrow, 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.
Due to the health crisis we are facing, many famili es are struggling due to health issues, job loss
or unemployment (either temporary or permanent) . Families are forced to change every day
routines like going to school, shopping for gr oceries and the loss of events around the
community have dampened our spirits in many ways. We worked very hard to keep any increase
in property taxes minimal.
Regarding the operating budget, our department heads identified needs of just over $26.7
million for 2021. I’m recommending a reduction from the requests of almost $590,000 leaving a
final expenditure budget of just over $26.1 million. As stated earlier, the City is allowed to
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 20, 2020 – Page 3
increase the tax levy to support the operating budget by $39,792. In addition, the City also has
$6,700 of unused levy limit available from previ ous years. After much consideration, I have
decided to not use either of those levy increase options, essentially free zing the operating levy
for 2021. As such, the 2021 tax levy increases under my influence that will affect property
taxpayers will be limited to: 1). A Joint Fi re/Rescue levy limit exemption of $105,170 and, 2).
A Debt Service Levy increase of $150,000. A third levy increase to support TIF districts within
the City is a direct result of State equalized value calculations and is not within the control of the
City or its elected officials. All told, th e final proposed levy is just over $19.7 million, an
increase of $642,000, or 3.36%.
As proposed, the final estimated as sessed tax rate (pending fina l assessed value numbers) is
proposed to increase 2.92% for property owners. That translates to a tax rate of $8.43 per $1,000
of assessed valuation, a $.24 increase. 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 provid er, the City is budgeting a 10% increase
amounting to approximately a $400,000 increase ove r last year’s expenditure for employee
health care in all City funds. Our Health Care C linic for employees continues to see increases in
utilization and helps keep costs down. Director Ke hl is exploring ways to further limit these
increases in the future.
While unemployment is low, the economy and job opportunities are excellent, keeping 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 departments
were approximately $16.5 million. I lowered th at by about $4.6 million to $11.9 million in total
capital spending. To help fund those projects, I have proposed borrowing $11.7 million.
Keeping up with maintenance of roads, buildings, equipment and infrastructure is important. Just
continuing to defer these costs always ends up costing more down the road. Other local units of
government have seen this issue come up recently.
The good news is that at the end of 2020 our debt load as a percent of th e statutory limit will be
45.3%, which is down from 51.8% when I was firs t elected Mayor. Our total debt including
Storm Water Revenue and CDA Lease Revenu e Bonds has decreased from 76.8% down to
59.2% in the same time frame.
Dollars left over from previous years’ budgets will bring new economic development
opportunities for growth within the city. TIF 8 will bring two high value private investments to
the district--a mixed use / multi-family develo pment with a value of near $7.1 million and an
additional multi-tenant highrise unit with a valu e of over $12.1 million. This will meet our
objectives of an increment valuation increase of over $4 million for the lawn space in front of the
Plexus headquarters and an exciting new community entity called “The Plaza”, a gift from a
group headed up by John Bergstrom of a beautiful ice skating facility and community gathering
spot that will have a regional a ttraction that will bring more vi sits to the downtown area. The
estimated value for this gift is over $4 million. I have called this project “a game changer” for the
community and early indications are the residents are very excited about this project.
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 20, 2020 – Page 4
In TIF 10, I’m recommending additional dollars for land assemblage for parking, redevelopment
or project assistance. And in TIF 7, $300,000 which would be assembled with a private
contribution and a state grant for a joint effort for a multi-use trail from Cecil Street to Harrison
Street.
We have a definitive need for more parking in the downtown district and companies have
expressed the need for more parking to allow them to increase employment. I propose including
$500,000 in TIF 10 to begin the design and engineer ing of a new parking ramp when a site is
identified. After the current pandemic is contained, our employers have assured me that all of the
employees will be returning to work within the current buildings creating the need for more
parking.
Work will continue on Arrowhead Park opportu nities and improve recr eational opportunities by
allocating just over $1 million for the next phase of work which will include an access road into
the park, shoreline habitat restoration work, and storm water management.
This year more than ever our public safety depa rtments, notably police and fire services, stepped
up throughout the pandemic to make a difference in people’s lives daily. When our citizens need
emergency services, they can be sure that our employees are professional and committed to
protecting property and saving lives. Our Police Chief, Aaron Olson and command staff are
committed to improving the operations and officers ar e making great strides in providing service
that excels to our community. Our N-M Fire Re scue is responding daily for EMS services in a
difficult environment and protec ting our homes and businesses. The department led by Chief
Kloehn has done a good job of stabilizing the overtime budget and finding new ways to train
daily.
I promised an aggressive road improvement sche dule. While I have moved one project back a
year we will continue to spend over $6.6 million (including Sanitary Se wer, 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 2021.
This budget will also see a small increase in th e recycling fund due to higher operating costs and
less state aid. The recycling fee is proposed to increase $3 from $37 to $40 next year, which is
the same rate as two years ago. .
Technology and IS services will ha ve dollars to continue Smart C ities initiatives throughout the
community, which will help provide better s ervices. Enhanced GIS services within an
organization improve customer and staff ability to improve and plan.
LEAN concept training and exercises will continue to find ways to be more efficient in processes
throughout our work areas. In addition an amount was set aside to sponsor one or two employees
in the Leadership Fox Cities program in 2021.
The budget provides for an average of appr oximately 2% wage increase depending upon
employee performance reviews. We have made great strides in improving our salary structure so
we are competitive in order to retain a quality workforce.
CITY OF NEENAH
Office of the Mayor
October 20, 2020 – Page 5
The future budgets will require new ideas and finding ways to provide services even more
efficient. Under the current stat e formulas equipping and providi ng manpower to continue the
same level of service will be difficult to sustain.
This budget 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 dedi cated elected leaders lik e 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 continue 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, th ere 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 Cala brese, Andy Kahl and the staff in the Finance
Department for helping me put to gether this budget. It is transparent and user friendly. I look
forward to working with the Council and intere sted citizens to improve this document in the
coming weeks.

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 Sectio ns 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--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 ce nter 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,

* Specific details are listed in the Mayor's comments that follow.
Recommended General Fund Budget Deficit $0
Increases (Decreases) to Revenue Requested
1). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit $0
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit restrictions based upon net new construction, the City maximum levy increase for its operating budget is limited to $39,792.
I am recommending a levy freeze on the 2021 operating budget, wh ich means that the full $39,792 would then be available for lev y 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 cur rently has $6,700
available in previous year's unused levy limit. I am proposing to not use any of those funds as part of the proposed tax levy to balance the
2021 operating budget. With #1 above, the City would then have $46,492 ($39,792+$6,700) of unused levy limit carryforward for future years.
3). Property Tax Levy Increase - Fire/Rescue 105,170
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 mu nicipality's increase in
fire service cost so long as the total Joint Fire/Rescue expenditure budget increase does not exceed CPI + 2%. The 2021 Fire/R escue budget
meets that standard. The total City of Neenah increase for Fire/Rescue service for 2021 is $109,780. From that amount, I am r ecommending a
Joint Fire/Rescue levy limit exemption of $105,170 for 2021.
4). Use General Fund Unassigned Reserves 225,000
Mayor's Comments:
The City ended fiscal year 2019 with a General Fund undesignated fund balance of $4,579,334 and a total fund balance of $4,988, 913. Current
estimates for 2020 indicate the City would end the year with a net expenditure less revenue deficit of $198,950. This number e xcludes the
budgeted application of both assigned ($99,0 36) and unassigned ($200,000) fund balance. I am recommending the use of $225,000 of
unassigned fund balance as part of the proposed 2021 General Fund budget, an increase of $25,000 from the $200,000 of unassigne d fund
balance applied as part of the 2020 budget.

5). Library Operating Carryforward 30,000
Mayor's Comments:
State law mandates that all accumulated unspent funds that were appropriated for Library use in previous years must be specific ally identified
and used only for future Library purposes. Those available carr y forward funds total $60,699 as of 12/31/19, with an estimated additional $10,000
expected to be available from 2020 operations. $40,000 of those funds were used to offset expenditures in the 2020 budget. I am
recommending using $30,000 of those ongoing carry forward funds to offset expenditures in the 2021 Library operating budget.
6). Additional Transfer from Benefit Accrual Fund 100,000
Mayor's Comments:
As part of the City's budget philosophy, the City continues to bu dget an annual structural surplus when funding the cost of emp loyee health
insurance. The structural surplus is in place to financially ac commodate employee health insurance choices on a year-to-year b asis. The
annual surpluses have allowed the City to accumulate an estimated total surplus of over $2.2 million as of 12/31/20, with $2.6 million estimated
by the end of 2021. Along with the $165,000 that was transferred in 2020, I am proposing to use an additional $100,000 of thi s accumulating
surplus to offset proposed health insurance cost increases in 2021, for a total transfer from the Benefit Accrual Fund of $265, 000 for 2021.
7). Transfer from Preparedness Grant 10,000
Mayor's Comments:
This transfer will be used to offset the ongoing costs associat ed with building and grounds preparedness and security for all C ity facilities. The
grant, which was first received in 2012, has an estimated remaining balance $68,459 of as 12/31/20.
8). Transfer from Special Revenue Fund - 254,000
Miscellaneous Revenue
Mayor's Comments:
This transfer will come from revenue that the City anticipates will be generated from miscellaneous sources in 2021.
9). Transfer from Special Revenue Fund - Highway "G" 100,000
Land Sales
Mayor's Comments:
This transfer will come from revenue that the City anticipates will be generated from land sales in 2021 related to the City's 2020 purchase
of land near CTH G from a residential housing developer, with a subsequent development agreement for the City to sell the to la nd back to the
residential developer as planned development occurs on the property.

Joint Fire/Rescue
Recommendations as jointly directed by the Mayor's of both cities. Specific details of the changes can be found in the full
Neenah-Menasha Joint Fire/Rescue line item budget.
Mayor's Comments: (130,000)
City of Neenah 59.83% share of net total of $217,280 of expenditure reductions from anticipated department retirements within t he
department by Chief Kloehn. These expenditure reductions are estimated net savings from wages and fringes from the anticipated retirements.
The savings assumes four retirements effective March 1, 2021 and four effective July 1, 2021. The estimated savings is defined as:
1). the anticipated salaries and fringes that will be paid to newly hired firefighters based upon the Fire/rescue union contrac t wage scale,
which are then offset by: 2). the salaries and fringes of those employees expected to retire in 2021.
Mayor's Comments: (14,190)
City of Neenah 59.83% share of total $23, 650 of wage and fringe expenditure reductio ns by eliminating funding for requested new
position of Career Development Specialist. Specific details of the changes can be found in the full Neenah-Menasha Joint Fire/ Rescue
line item budget.
Mayor's Comments: (11,070)
City of Neenah 59.83% share of total $18, 500 of Internal I/S Service charge expendit ure reductions due to the proposed change b y the
City of Neenah to prepay for five years various annual I/S service and maintenance contracts and funding those costs with borro wed funds.
The change would both eliminate the expenditure from the operating budget and operating levy and save almost 15% in total I/S s ervice and
maintenance contract costs. A corresponding amount of approximat ely $16,000 will then be charged as a capital cost back to bot h cities
proportionately per the cost sharing formula in 2021.

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

I/S services and maintenance contract costs over the five-year period. The net cost savings is reflected as a General Fund exp enditure reduction
in the Special Reserves and Escrow section. It will then reduce various I/S service related fees to all City operating budgets .

Non-Tax Levy Revenues
Submitted by:

Payments In Lieu of Taxes
Represents the payment made to the City by the Water Utilit y 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 2019-2020. For 2021, that payment is estimated to decrease by $26,160, or
2.64%. An expenditure item in a like amount is included in the Water Utility's budget in 2021. Also included in 2021 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, 2021 is the fifth 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 ge nerated 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 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 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 effects of COVID-19 on the travel and
tourism industry, room tax collections will be down by an estimated 50% for 2020 and are expected to total
$70,000 in 2021, for a budget increase of $20,000, or 22.22%
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 agai n dramatically reduced for 2012. After four years of
payments remaining flat, the City received a 1% increase in 2019. For 2020, Shared Revenue is again expected
to increase marginally by 1.07 %, with a total increase of $16,700.
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 prog ram, the City’s payment has diminished in recent years.
The City’s ERP payment decreased in 2018 by 2.33%, 4.16% in 2019 and 3.3% in 2020. For 2021 the City’s ERP
payment is again expected to decrease by another 9.78%. The estimate decrease totals $50,190.
The total of the combined State Revenue Sharing Programs of $2,039,630 which includes the Expenditure Restraint
Payment. This compares to $3,013,800 received as recently as 2003 – a loss in actual dollars of $1 million
over that 18 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 2021.
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 was 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 fo r 2018 and 2019 will be based upon the 2017 payment
increased by a CPI factor. For 2021 and beyond, the amount will remain flat at the 2019 amount of $150,800.
Federal, State, Local Aids
Includes highway maintenance aids received from the S tate 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. From a historical perspective, as recently as 2009, the City received $1,253,920 in State
Transportation Aids. As part of the 2011 State Budget, transportation 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 has indicated that funding will remain flat.
Even with the 2020 increase, all told, since 2009 the City has seen a real dollar reduction in State
Transportation Aids of $134,150, a still daunting 11.04% decrease over a 12–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 increase $29,840 for 2021,
almost double that of 2020. 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 beyond 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 and $200,000 in
2020. This plan contemplates using a maximum of $225,000 of General Fund reserves to balance the 2021
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
by $25,200, or 8.05%.
Health Inspection Fees
After months of study, responsibility for the City’s he alth 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 2021, fees are estimated to remain flat at $26,000.
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, pl anning and zoning related fees, exempt property filing
fees and other general revenues. Including the loss of 5% in cable TV franchise fees (see Federal, State and
Local Aids above), the City will budget these revenue sources in 2021 at a $22,400, or 6.57%.
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 pr operty 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 increase by $14,190, or 1.51% in
2021, along with the use of $30,000 of Library operating carryforward funds.

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 departments. These
services are charged to the Neenah Water, Sewer and St orm Water Utilities, Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue and
Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court. Total revenue posted to these accounts is anticipated to increase by
$21,310, or 5.51%, in 2021.
Public Works/Sanitation
Receipts from charges to private parties for services perf ormed, 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 th e 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 $8,350 (5.35%) in 2021.
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. 2021 is the sixth year funds are budgeted under Miscellaneous Revenue for net revenue generated from
an agreement in which the City would provide serv ices to the adjoining St. Margaret Cemetery. For 2021, total
cemetery revenues are anticipated to increase modestly by $2,000 (1.59%) from 2020 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 investment. 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. Unfortun ately, the effects of COVID-19 on the financial markets
have been a significant decrease in both short and long term rates. Taken as a whole, revenue for investment
income in 2021 is budgeted to decrease by $96,500, or 16.36%.
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. Based
on current trends, the City is budgeting $2,000 (2.0%) less in revenue for 2021.
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 Mutu al Insurance Company (CVMIC). Also included 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 10.77%, or $13,000, in 2021.

Rental
Revenue from the leasing and rental of real property or bu ilding space (e.g., Cecil Street garage, fire station bay,
communication towers at the Police Department and recently purchased industrial park land from the Town of
Neenah). Overall revenue in this category is expected to increase by $2,810, or 2.99%, in 2021.
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 $52,520 in 2021, $89,480 more than the
2020 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 Play ers ticket sales, pool fees and recreation building
revenue. While COVID-19 has had a major negative effe ct on 2020 revenue, the department is anticipating
decreased but more normalized revenue stream in 2021. For all programs and rental s, the total estimated
revenue, budget-to-budget, is decreasing about 2.26% ($13,610) for 2021.
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 re imburse 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 administrative 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. 2021 is the
ninth year of the estimated transfer of the City of Neenah’s share of unspent 2020 budgeted funds from the operation
of the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue. New for 2021 are transfers from two newly created Special Revenue Funds.
The first would account for funds that the City anticipates will be generated from land sales in 2021 related to the
City’s 2020 planned resale of land to a residential developer from whom the City purchased the land in 2020. The
second is for new revenue currently categorized as miscellaneous that the City anticipates will be generated in 2021.
Overall, fund transfers for 2021 are budgeted to increase by $616,380 (25.53%) from the 2020 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 department 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 Mayor 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 events 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 communicates 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.
2020 Accomplishments:
/g120 The following measures were taken in an effort to manage city operations during the COVID-19
pandemic:
/g57 Temporarily closed City Hall and staffed with essential workers only to combat the spread of
COVID-19.
/g57 Issued Mayoral Order 20-01: Related to COVID-19 and mask requirements for city-owned
buildings in order to protect employees and the public.
/g57 To assist local businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Allowed restaurants and
taverns to temporarily expand their outdoor seating areas to continue their business while
adhering to social distancing practices. Put into effect a temporary street and furniture sale and
display of goods order.
/g120 Sustainability of current businesses, support for new ones, assisting small businesses and
announcements of potential future projects helped keep me on the move and in the community.
/g120 Our downtown continues to have a very high percentage of occupancy with new businesses coming
in, but the majority continuing to be successful because of the unique atmosphere the downtown
presents.
/g120 Continued participation with local media outlets to further promote news and events within the City
including: WHBY – The Good Neighbor Show (third Monday of every Month), WFRV – Community
-64--67-
Updates (Tuesday Morning – quarterly), The Post Crescent, WBAY, WVBO and WOSH interviews
throughout the year.
/g120 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.
/g120 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.
/g120 2020 was not our typical year for operations either. While we were able to schedule many of our
organized events, we found we had to cancel numero us planned events due to the COVID-19 virus.
We did what we could do safely and were fortunate enough to have a dedicated staff that found ways
to operate some venues and operations throughout the year. The Splash Pad at Washington Park, our
swimming pool and all of our parks were still open for citizens to enjoy.
/g120 Continuing to enhance the Neenah portion of “Loop th e Lake” trail, the City continues to work towards
completion for Phase 1 of Arrowhead Park. Final design and construction documents will be prepared
with the bidding process occurring in the winter of 2020. Utility c onstruction has begun recently. The
Loop the Lake trail and Arrowhead Park will be a destination for many locals and visitors to be proud
of.
/g120 Lakeshore Drive reconstruction was part of the 2020 budget and has proved to be challenging in many
ways. The Council voted to add a walking trail alongside the roadway which brought on lawsuits by the
neighborhood and then an archeological digging requirement by the DNR has found a large amount of
Native American historical artifacts including gravesites that date from A.D. 0 to A.D. 1400. This scenic
roadway is a favorite of locals and visitors alike and when completed will continue to be a destination
drive with beautiful views and ambiance while providing a safe route for pedestrian’s travel.
/g120 Our events and celebrations were largely put on hold this year unfortunately due to the virus once
again. We were able to provide fireworks for the July 4
th by changing locations and having higher arterial
shots that let people stay home and celebrate our Independence Day. We also were able to have
slimmed down versions for the Wednesday and Thursday Shattuck Park Concerts and the Farmer’s
Market. Planning continues for December’s downtown Christmas celebration in some way. Thanks to
Future Neenah for partnering with us and taking the lead on these community events.
/g120 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.
/g120 We successfully secured land for a new Dog Park with a generous donation by Kimberly-Clark
Corporation of the land on Byrd Avenue that includes a community garden.
/g120 The Library has attempted to continue operations to have access to books and materials throughout
trying times. Delivering with curbside pick-up has shown the dedication of staff and residents and
allowed us to deliver the joy of reading to the city.
/g120 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 government services. It is a method that
eliminates waste to help maximize efficiencies
2021 Goals/Plans:
In 2021 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 and programs like “Working with the Staff” will continue in an
effort to better understand the challenges we face providing the services we do with limited resources. This
Council and Mayor will be active and visible in the community and will give residents many opportunities to
provide valuable 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.
The Pendleton Apartments are completed and will bring an estimated value of around $16.1 million. Another
project that has started and will finish early next year is the Coral Court development which will bring new
townhouse style homes off of Winneconne Avenue. And a large residential development is underway on
the Westside near the intersection of Woodenshoe Road and Highway G bringing new lots for homes to
the City.
We recently announced a new estimated $4 million gift to the City from a group headed up by John
Bergstrom of a beautiful Ice Skating Rink “The Plaza at Gateway Park” and gathering area will be breaking
ground soon and ready for occupancy by October of 2021. This will be built on the lawn in front of the
Plexus headquarters downtown. This is a “game changer” for this community and we are extremely grateful
for this gift.
Two new downtown housing developments have been approved for the downtown district and will start in
2021 that will have a total estimated value of near $20 million. Other projects are in discussions and may
also be finalized bringing new developments in the downtown area of mixed use / retail along with downtown
housing in early 2021.
Continued development is imperative to allow our tax base to grow. An emphasis will be made to deliver
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. We will also continue moving forward
bringing Arrowhead Park to fruition along with development opportunities in that area.
Our recreation facilities, parks and trails will continue to be enhanced with new equipment and upgrades.
The tennis courts at Doty Park will be redone with pickleball courts being added due to demand. Concerts
in the Park, CommunityFest and all the other commun ity-oriented events will continue. Our parks and
swimming pool will provide an outlet to relax and have fun with our children or grandchildren.
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.
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 2021. Enhancing our tax base will continue to be a
priority for my administration.
Our commitment to our employees will be shown by continuing a system of merit pay and an effort and
dollars to help bring valued employees to midpoint in a reasonable amount of time. Planning for additional
long-time employee retirements will require us to transition new employees quickly to insure a productive
workforce will be a priority.

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 first responders to continue to show the public that we are a great place to live, work and
play. Having trained professionals offer citizens comfort and security that they and their family will receive
the best care if an incident happens to them and they need help. In addition, our community policing efforts
are being noticed and with the addition of our Police Bike Patrol, our officers will be more visible at
community events throughout the year to help establish good relationships with our citizens and children.
We made progress in our efforts to improve our co mmunity with an aggressive but understanding code
enforcement program. In 2021 our efforts will continue to insure properties that are in disrepair will be dealt
with. Our neighborhoods are our foundation and we will utilize any programs available to us to help
homeowners maintain safe and healthy neighborhoods.
My goals are simple, make us better than before. Wi th 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!”
CITY PUBLICATION 0202-701
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. Remember, “Democracy is not run by the majority but by
the majority that show up”, so it is imperative for us to do all we can to educate the public on major issues
and to provide opportunities for their input.

Major Increases (Decreases) in 2021 Budget Request:
Overall, when including all costs attributable to the City Attorn ey’s office operations, the City Attorney’s budget shows a net increase in

City of Neenah 59.83% share of net total of $217,280 of expend iture reductions from anticipated department retirements within t he
department by Chief Kloehn. These expenditure reductions are es timated net savings from wages and fringes from those retiremen ts.
The savings assumes four retirements effective March 1, 2021 and four effective July 1, 2021. The estimated savings is defined as:
1). the anticipated salaries and fringes that will be paid to newly hired firefighters based up on the Fire/rescue union contrac t wage scale,
which are then offset by: 2). the salaries and frin ges of those employees expected to retire in 2021.

Mission Statement:
Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue consists of committed professi onals whose mission is to provide the highest standard of
service through fire suppression, prevention, education, emergency medical response, technical rescue and community
interaction to preserve the quality of life and property for all of those within the Cities of Neenah and Menasha.
Vision Statement:
Our vision at Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue is to have a positive, motivated, educated department. We strive to meet the
community demands. We will accomplish this with an organized and defined structure. We encourage change, use
resources to the full extent and work closely with outside agencies.
Our department activities can be broken down into three major divisions: Operations, Training and Prevention
Operations
Neenah – Menasha Fire Rescue maintains and operates out of four fire stations strategically placed in Neenah and
Menasha to ensure an excellent response time to all areas of the cities. Each station is staffed with full-time lifesaving
crews that consist of 1 Fire Officer, 1 Driver and 1 – 2 Firefighters per fire truck. Additionally our department operates a fu ll
service water rescue service, special operations (technical rescue) service and a light/medium duty crash rescue service.
Emergency response includes many different types of calls. Below is a summary of the incidents for the past five years.
/g120Medical Responses continue to increase throughout Neenah and Menasha. As our medical response
becomes increasingly important, our training level has also increased especially as we add on more
advanced skills.
/g120Total NOT EMS is all the other calls we respond to such as structure fires, vehicle fires, grass fires,
water/ice rescues, high angle, confined space and crash rescue. Unintentional false alarms, mutual aid,
etc.

In June of 2018 our auto aid with the Appleton Fire Dep artment was suspended due to a change made by Outagamie
County. We continue to work with Appleton FD as needed fo r structure fires via our Mutual Aid Agreements. We hope to
have the needed technology completed between Winnebago and Outagamie County so we may resume automatic aid in
the future. This agreement has proven beneficial for both cities. D/C Voss
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 te achers, 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 professi onal 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; wa ter 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 co mpleted our first joint recruit class in the beginning of the COVID-19
pandemic. This is a great partnership between neighboring communities as it reduced the time commitment 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:
/g120 Structure Fire Attack /g120 SCUBA Dive Rescue – Open Water & Ice
/g120 Wild Land Fire Attack /g120 Active Shooter
/g120 Pump Operations – Water Movement /g120 Emergency Medical Training
/g120 High Rise – Aerial Operations /g120 Technical Rescue – Trench, Building Collapse,
High Angle
/g120 Shore & Boat Based Open Water Rescue /g120 Mental Health – EAP, PTSD & Suicide
Professional Development and Credentialing, when you dial “911” it is your emergency and our citizens expect the very
best are coming to help. In 2019, we trained nearly 14,000 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.

In developing our firefighters, there is a tremendous amount to do. I am very fortunate to have so many subject matter
experts (SME) on the department. These SME’s are great assets to our department, I am able to schedule training to be
given to the rest of the department by these individuals. A/C Peglow
Fire Prevention, Fire Investigations and Public Education
As Assistant Fire Chief and Fire Marshal, I (Vernon Green) oversee all of the Fire Prevention Bureau activities for the cities
of Neenah and Menasha. NMFR is very proud of our Fire Prevention Bureau, which includes all aspects of Fire Prevention,
Fire Investigations, and Public Education. Fire prevention is not simply conducting fire inspections, it also includes detailed
review of all new construction, remodeling of existing structur es, refurbishing older facilities, as well as, changes to any
and all fire detection and suppression systems in all commerci al properties and multi-family residential facilities. Neenah
and Menasha continue to have significant construction proj ects throughout the two communities. We work very closely
with city staff, property owners, architects, engineers, deve lopers, and building officials to ensure that all projects are
completed with fire and life safety as our number one priority. Each year, NMFR conducts in excess of 3,000 inspections to
assist property and business owners with identifying potential fire and life safety concerns, and cause them to be abated.
In 2020, I completed the re-write of the municipal fire codes for both cities in an effort to update the language for current
code adoption, as well as, provide for better consistency betw een the two cities municipal code s. Both municipalities also
contracted with “The Compliance Engine” (TCE). TCE is a secure internet-based cloud environment in which third-party
contractors that inspect, test, and maintain fire protection sy stems, submit their reports via a web portal directly to NMFR,
facilitating a more efficient review, tracking, and follow-up process with properties to correct deficiencies and maintain
systems. This allows NMFR to effectively and efficiently mo nitor the preventive maintenance, routine inspections, and
required service, for all fire detection, suppression, and notification systems throughout our jurisdiction.
NMFR is required, by Wisconsin State Statute, to perform fire inspections for all commercial businesses and multi-family
(3 family or more) residential structures, within our jurisdiction, two times annually (with few exceptions). This is also a
requirement to receive the 2% dues funding from the State of Wisconsin. In 2020, the City of Neenah’s 2% dues
funding check was $97,597.79, and the City of Menasha’s was $50,262.42.

The Fire Prevention Bureau also oversees all fire investigatio ns. Wisconsin State statute 165.55 requires that every fire
shall be investigated for cause, origin, and circumstances. NMFR conducts investigations of every fire that occurs within
our jurisdiction. These investigations are conducted by the Shift Inspector/Investigator and/or the Assistant Chief/Fire
Marshal depending on the size and complexity of the incident. Some of the smaller fires may be investigated by the
Company Officer themselves. If it is determined or suspected that a fire is incendiary or criminal in nature, law
enforcement is contacted and a joint investigation is conduc ted. The size and complexity of the fire may require NMFR to
request assistance from the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to assist with in-depth evidence
collection and sampling to be sent to the state crime lab for analysis.
We also continue to be very pro-active in our fire preventi on and public safety educational programs, as well as, the
juvenile fire setter intervention program. In 2019, our Pub lic 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. We continue to conduct fire safety programs at each and every public and private elementary
school in the Neenah and Menasha schools districts during fire prevention month which is in October. We provide a fire
safety presentation to the graduating senior class at Neen ah and Menasha High Schools each year to hopefully educate
and inform the students on fire safety as they go on to pursue their higher education, or enter the work force, as adults.
NMFR has installed roughly 500 smoke detectors in single fami ly residential homes throughout the cities of Neenah and
Menasha at no cost to the residents. The overwhelming majority of the smoke detectors have been donated to NMFR’s
smoke detector program by Kuehl Electric in Neenah, as well as, donations from the American Red Cross. We provide
educational presentations and information for elderly residenti al and health care facilities . We meet with and provide
information for industrial, commercial, and residential facilities, to assist them with creating and maintaining proper fire and
life safety emergency action plans.
Public education programs, fire prevention inspections, and fire/l ife safety education in general, are all inherently difficult
when we attempt to compile a true perspective as far as th eir value. 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 because we cannot place a number or dollar amount on an incident that never occurs. However, we are very
confident that maintaining the outstanding level of service th at we provide, certainly makes a huge difference and is
without a doubt saving lives and property within the communities of Neenah and Menasha, and beyond as those that we
interact with go about their daily lives.
