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 2020 Operating and Capital Improvement
Budget. More than ever before , we are f aced with numerous challenges due to strict levy limits
imposed by the state and zero increases in shared revenue aid. We did receive a slight increase of
$80,000 in general transportation dollars . The State impose d allowable levy increase is tied to
our net new construction growth which this year was $26.3 million dollars which equates to
1.19%. I’m very proud to provide a document that will provide outstanding quality services to
our residents.
While the overall economy continues to do well with the State collecting additional s ales taxes,
income tax and corporate tax dollars, that growth has not been at all reflected in shared revenue
and expenditure restraint payments back to municipalities. A couple of stark facts bear this out:
1). In 1983, the state funded over 45% of our budget through shared revenue and this year that
number is about 8%. 2). As recently as 2003, the City received $3,013,800 in shared revenue
and expenditure re straint payments from the S tate; the estimate for 2020 from those same
sources is $2,090,450, a loss in actual dollars of $1 million over that 17 year period. I ncreases to
the school aid f ormula along with m edical 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 addressed 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 programming due to fixed costs incre asing yearly. Requests from
two departments for additional positions were denied even though justification was made for
them. Much of what we do is to provide services to our residents which translate s into a higher
percentage of employee salaries making up a larger percentage of our entire budget.
However, we will play the cards we are dealt with and work hard 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 are moving
forward with numerous new buildings and construction projects 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 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 g rown. This year our equalized value growth as determined by the
state is 7.44%.
My principles in putting this document together have not changed.
1. Our staff and employees are excellent and an integral 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 reduce 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 an expenditure rate program, continue the
tradition of paying off more than we borrow, i mprove 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.
Regarding the operating budget, our department heads identified needs of just over $26.2
million for 2020. I’m recommending a reduction from the requests of almost $520,000 leaving a
final expenditure budget of just over $25.7 million, which is suppor ted by a tax l evy of
$13,907,690. Including debt service and TIF, the final proposed levy is just over $19.1 million
dollars, an increase of just over $207,000 or 1.10 %.
The budget impact on taxpayers for 2020 is unique in that all taxpayers received a new property
assessment as part of a city -wide re- valuation. With the re -valuation, the average property
assessment went up approximately 20% . T he estimated total City assessment value went up
18.7%, which then lead to a correlating decrease in the assessed tax rate. As proposed, the final
estimated assessed tax rate (pending final assessed value numbers ) for property owners will go
down approximately $1. 43 to $8.21 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. For the property owner
whose assessed value went up the average of 20%, this translates to a n increase in property taxes
for city purposes of about 2.22%. As an example, the owner of a home assessed at $150,000
last year, who received a 20% increase in their assessed value to $180,000 for this year, will see
an increase of their taxes for city purposes from $1,445.13 to $1,477.24, an increase of $32.11,
or 2.22%. Keep in mind that changes to the estimated final assessed value numbers could
change these amounts slightly either up or down. .
The city ’s financial picture continues to improve while following the strict levy limit
requirements and total revenue from the state including Shared R evenue, Expenditure Restraint
Program, Computer Exemption Aid and Transportation dollars remaining flat again this year.

We have received our notice from our health care provider that we can expect an 8% increase
amounting to a $175,000 increase o ver last year’s expenditure. Our Health Care Clinic for
employees continues to see increases in utilization and helps keep costs down. We have
partnered with private entities and continue to explore other potential partners to further lower
our costs of operating the clinic. Our new HR Director, Lindsay Kehl is doing an excellent job in
working to control these costs.
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, we will attain the goal of borrowing to
meet bank qualified lending limits . The original requests from departments were approximately
$11.7 million dollars, I lowered that by $1.1 million to $10.6 million in total capital spending. To
help fund those projects, I have proposed borrowing of $9.96 million, just under the $10 million
bank qualified limit. We were able to stay just under the $10 million dollar borrowing mark by
utilizing $235,000 in TIF 7 reserves and $200,000 of Storm Water reserve s, leaving both with
still healthy reserve balances.
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 2019 our debt load as a percent of the statutory limit will be
42.6%, which is down from 51.8% when I was first elected Mayor. Our total debt including
Storm Water Revenue and CDA Lease Revenue Bonds has decreased from 76.8% down to
57.9% in the same time frame.
Once again this year I have included dollars for future e conomic development opportunities for
growth with in the city . $500k is recommended for TIF 8’s budget to bring a high value
private/public investment to the district. This will meet our objectives of an increment valuation
increase of over $4 million dollars and a possible new public gathering facility that will have a
regional attraction that will bring more visits to the downtown area. In TIF 10 , I’m
recommending additional dollars for land assemblage for parking, redevelopment or project
assistance and in TIF 7, $200,000 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.
In January I fully intend to bring a subcommittee together to look at our upcoming big ticket
items including a future parking facility and other major proposed capital building projects. 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.
In addition, work on Pendleton Apartments continue s and the Coral Court town houses are
beginning to move dirt as I write this. We are also looking at the possibility of additional land
developments for housing stock that will be annexed to the city.

Work will continue on Arrowhead Park opportunities and improve recreational opportunities by
allocating $1.4 million for phase 1 A/B which will include an access road into the park, shoreline
habitat restoration work and storm water management.
Day after day our Public Works Department is committed to providing quality service.
Our new automated refuse trucks are working well and the crews are working extremely hard to
improve infrastructure needs throughout the community daily.
Our public safety departments, notably police and fire services are making a difference in
peoples lives daily. When our citizens need emergency services t hey 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
are making great strides in providing service that excels to our community. Our N-M Fire Rescue
is responding daily for EMS Services and protecting our homes and businesses. The department
led by Chief Kloehn has done a good job of stabilizing the overtime budget and f inding new
ways to train daily.
I promised an aggressive road improvement schedule. When we delay projects, the cost will
continue to climb. Road construction is never pretty and the best comment is when it is done
everyone is usually pleased. We have proposed ten road projects in 2020 i ncluding a portion of
Green Bay Road and also the reconstruction of Lakeshore Avenue along Lake Winnebago. With
regards to Lakeshore Avenue, I have included the dollars necessary for the reconstruction with a
road wide enough to include a walking/biking/pedestrian lane.
The TARF (Transportation Assessment Replacement Fund) is now in place insuring residents
will no longer receive large individual street assessments on their property when their street is
done.
This budget will also lower a fee which is always welcome news. The recycling fund is proposed
to go down from $40 to $37 next year, a $3 decrease.
Technology and IS services will have dollars to begin Smart Cities initiatives throughout the
community, which will help provide better services. 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 2020.
The budget provides for an average 2.25% wage increase depending upon employee
performance reviews. A salary plan review has just been completed by an outside consultant. We
have made great strides in improving our salary structure so we are compet itive, which is
essential in order to retain a quality workforce.
The future budgets will require new ideas and finding ways to provide services even more
efficient. Under the curren t state formulas , equipping and providing 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. It is by no means a
perfect document and I welcome your suggestions and ideas to make it even better. 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 priori tize 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 enhance this document.
I want to especially thank Mike Easker , Deb Calabrese, Andy Kahl and the staff in th e Finance
Department 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.

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 staf f. 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 in clude 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 $130,469
Mayor's Comments:
Per levy limit restrictions based upon net new construction, the City maximum levy increase for its operating budget is limited to $139,435.
I am recommending a levy increase of $130,469, which is $8,966 less than the maximum amount allowed. That amount would then be available
for levy limit carryforward to future years.
2). Property Tax Levy Increase - Levy Limit 8,961
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 $8,961
available in previous year's unused levy limit. I am proposing to use all of those funds as part of the proposed tax levy to balance the
2020 operating budget. From #1 above, the City would then have $8,966 of unused levy limit carryforward for future years.
3). Property Tax Levy Increase - Fire/Rescue 100,000
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 up to the amount of increase in the City's share of Fire/Rescue services, up to a limit of 2% of the 2019 Fire/Rescue cost.
Using the 2% limit, the maximum amount the City could exempt for 2020 is $100,950. I am recommending a Joint Fire/Rescue levy limit
exemption of $100,000 for 2020.
4). Library Operating Carryforward 40,000
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 $97,299 as of 12/31/18. $40,000 of those funds was used to
offset expenditures in the 2019 budget. I am recommending an additional $40,000 of those carry forward funds be used to offset expenditures in
the 2020 Library operating budget.

5). Additional Transfer from Benefit Accrual Fund 65,000
Mayor's Comments:
As part of the City's budget philosophy, the City continues to budget an annual structural surplus when funding the cost of employee health
insurance. The structural surplus is in place to financially accommodate employee health insurance choices on a year-to-year basis. The
annual surpluses have allowed the City to accumulate an estimated total surplus of over $1.7 million as of 12/31/19, with $2.2 million estimated
by the end of 2020. Along with the $100,000 that was transferred in 2019, I am proposing to use an additional $65,000 of this accumulating
surplus to offset proposed budgeted expenditures in 2020, for a total transfer from the Benefit Accrual Fund of $165,000 for 2020.
6). General Fund Unassigned Reserves 200,000
Mayor's Comments:
The City ended fiscal year 2018 with a General Fund undesignated fund balance of $4,220,834 and a total fund balance of $4,602,170. Current
estimates for 2019 indicate the City would end the year with a net expenditure less revenue deficit of $62,590, This number excludes the
budgeted application of both assigned ($184,049) and unassigned ($151,000) fund balance. I am recommending the use of $200,000 of
unassigned fund balance as part of the proposed 2020 General Fund budget, an increase of $49,000 from the $151,000 of unassigned fund
balance applied as part of the 2019 budget.
7). Transfer from Preparedness Grant 10,000
Mayor's Comments:
This transfer will be used to offset the ongoing costs associated with building and grounds preparedness and security for all City facilities. The
grant, which was first received in 2012, has a remaining balance $78,459 of as 12/31/18.
8). Reimbursement for Property Damage (15,000)
Mayor's Comments:
This reduction corresponds with the $15,000 reduction in 2020 budgeted expenditures for damage to City property and equipment.
9). Transfer from I/S (115,000)
Mayor's Comments:
This reduction corresponds with the $115,000 reduction in 2020 budgeted expenditures for I/S services provided to all City departments.

Special Reserves & Escrow/Mayor's Executive Adjustments
Mayor's Comments:
This area of the budget is used to identify budget adjustments that affect multiple departments across various budget line items.
My recommended changes to those various line items are as follows:
1). Wages/Fringes (20,120)
Reduce line item net charges to account for the carryforward of unspent wage/fringe expenditures budgeted to fund implementation of the 2019
non-represented salary plan update.
2). Information Systems (166,750)
Reduce line item net charges to account for the elimination of funding for the GIS technician and to reduce fixed cost charges to City departments.

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 Water Utility in lieu of property taxes (“PILOT”). The formula is
established by the Public Service Commission based on the Water Utility's depreciated property value and a portion
of the total assessed tax rate for 2019- 2020. For 2020, that payment is estimated to decrease by $28,220, or
2.77%. An expenditure item in a like amount is included in the Water Utility's budget in 2020. Also included in 2020 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, 2020 is the fourth year of a payment ($12,500) 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 was 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 . Room tax collections are expected to total
$90,000 in 2020, for a budget increase of $10,000, or 12.50%
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 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 r ates reflect the cost of
providing a full range of municipal services. Recent State budgets have reduced funding for the program. Added to
the fact that more municipalities are qualifying for the program, the City’s payment has diminished in recent years.
The City’s ERP payment decreased in 2018 by 2.33% and 4.16% in 2019. For 2020 the City’s ERP payment is
again expected to decrease by another 3.30%. The estimate decrease totals $17,510.
The total of the combined State Revenue Sharing Programs of $2,090,450 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 17 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 just over 8% of the
City’s operating budget in 2020.
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 for 2018 and 2019 will be based upon the 2017 payment
increased by a CPI factor. For 2020 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 State Transportation Trust Fund (gasoline sales taxes and
other automotive related fees) for street and highway maintenance. These aids are based on a prescribed cost
reimbursement formula. 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, transportation aids declined substantially. In 2012, t he
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 is estimating
an increase for 2020 totaling $83,330, or 8.11%. Even with that 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
an eleven–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 is a state Video Services Provider Aid payment ($30,140) equal to
5% of the City’s Cable TV Franchise Fee Revenue. 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 several 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 and $151,000 in 2019. This plan contemplates
using a maximum of $200,000 of General Fund reserves to balance the 2020 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 increase
by $14,520, or 4.86%.
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 2020, fees are estimated to decrease $2,000 (7.14%) to $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, planning and zoning related fees, exempt property filing
fees and other general revenues. Based upon the loss of 5% in cable TV franchise fees (see Federal, State,
Local Aids above), the City will budget these revenue sources in 2020 at a $8,750 decrease, or 2.50%.
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 inc rease by $21,910, or 2.38% i n
2020, along with the use of $40,000 of Library operating carryforward funds.

Non-Tax Levy Revenues
Submitted by:
Michael Easker
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 Storm Water Utiliti es, Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue and
Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court. Total revenue posted to these accounts is anticipate d to increase by
$17,070, or 4.62%, in 2020.
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 $13,200 (5.35%) in 2020.
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. 2018 is the third 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. For 2020, total
cemetery revenues are anticipated to increase modestly by $2,000 (1.59%) from 2019 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 esti mated for 2018 and 2019 reflected a significant
increase in shorter terms rates over that period. Including the benefit of additional funds available for investment,
investment earnings are again expected to increase at a healthy rate.
Starting in 2008, the Water Utility began making annual payments over a twenty year period to the City for funds
advanced to create the Utility. In 2016, the utility decided to repay in full the amount of principal remaining,
eliminating that revenue source to the City moving forward. Taken as a whole, revenue for investment income in
2020 is budgeted to increase by $50,000, or 9.26%.
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 $4,000 (3.85%) less in revenue for 2020.
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 included is the sixth
year of an anticipated annual dividend reflecting the City’s ownership stake in CVMIC. The City anticipates
substantially lower dividend revenue from CVMIC in 2019 and 2020 due to higher claims experience by the company
in recent years. Other governmental entities (school, County, FVTC, State) reimbursement for property taxes
refunded or

rescinded. Reimbursement from the City of Menasha for administrative costs of the Neenah-Menasha Dial-A-Ride
Program. Starting in 2015 is a partial year rebate revenue being generated through the City’s recently implemented
P-Card purchasing program. A full-year rebate revenue is budgeted for 2016 and beyond. Total Reimbursement
revenue is expected to remain flat in 2020.
Rental
Revenue from the leasing and rental of real property or building space (e.g., Cecil S treet garage, fire station bay,
communication towers at the Police Department and recently purchased industrial park land from the Town of
Neenah). Starting in 2013, Winnebago County began renting space to staff the northern satellite office of the newly
consolidated health department at an estimated annual payment of $16,500. The health department was relocated to
the Winnebago County Human Services building in Neenah in 2015, resulting in no revenue budgeted in 2016 and
beyond. As with recent history, overall revenue in this category is expected to remain essentially flat again in
2020.
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. A major, one- time revenue of
$210,000 budgeted for 2018 would be for the sale of five used sanitation trucks in anticipation of the City contracting
for collection of refuse and recycling by a private waste hauler effective July 1, 2018. 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 $142,000 in 2020, $89,800 more
than the 2019 budget.
Other Revenue
Miscellaneous general government revenue including photocopy fees and, prior to 2016, employee health insurance
contributions. Beginning in 2016, employee health insurance contributions are directly posted to the City’s Health
Insurance Benefit Accrual Fund.
Parks and Recreation
Participant revenues from the various r ecreational programs, including rentals of park shelter facilities, fees for
various adult and youth recreation programs, Riverside Players ticket sales, pool fees and recreation building
revenue. For all programs and rentals, the total estimated revenue budget-to-budget is increasing slightly
about 4.21% ($24,120) for 2020.
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 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 stopped effective 2016. 2019 is the
seventh year of the estimated transfer of the City of Neenah’s share of unspent 2017 budgeted funds from the
operation of the Neenah- Menasha Fire Rescue. Overall, fund transfe rs for 2020 are budgeted to increase
slightly by $13,120, or .55% from the 2019 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 com municates 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.
2019 Accomplishments:
This has been a good year overall for the Mayor’s office. We continue to find new opportunities for this
community to grow and prosper. The community has seen many new economic developments finished and
has begun reaping the benefits of new jobs and t ax base. Public and private partnerships have given us
the ability to get things done in collaboration with the private sector in these difficult economic times. The
community continues to show its strength, the future is bright and we can be proud of where we are headed
as a community. Neenah with Pride!
• Expansions of current businesses, ribbon cuttings for new ones, grand openings for small businesses
and announcements of potential future projects helped keep me on the move and in the community.
• 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.
• 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
Updates (Tuesday m orning – quarterly), The Post Cres cent, WBAY, WVBO and WOSH interviews
throughout the year.
• 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 Boy Scouts,
Boys & Girls Brigade, Neenah Club, retirement c omplexes (Island Shores) , GFCA Habitat for
Humanity, N/M Elks Lodge and Fox Cities Morning Rotary Club, to name a few.

• 2019 witnessed the grand re- opening of Washington Park after three years of phased construction
which began in 2016. Major Components include: Firefighter Themed Splash Pad, Discovery Field
(inclusive play for all), two tennis and two dedicated p ickle ball courts, connecting pathways with
security lighting, seasonal restroom and shade structures. The park will serve as a major attraction
for local residents and community for years to come.
• Continuing to enhance the Neenah portion of the “Loop the Lake” trail. The City is working towards
70% design and engineering completion for Phase 1 of Arrowhead Park by the end of 2019. Final
design and construction do cuments will be prepared with the bidding process occurring in the w inter
of 2020 and construction scheduled to begin Spring of 2020. The Loop the Lake trail and Arrowhead
Park will be a destination for many locals and visitors to be proud of.
• Lakeshore Drive reconstruction was part of the 2019 Capital Budget and will be part of my 2020
budget. This scenic roadway is a favorite of locals and visitors alike and I propose to insure the
ambiance of the area while providing a safe route for pedestrian’s travel.
• Our events and celebrations were huge successes with CommunityFest leading the way. We had
great crowds downtown for the Wednesday and Thursday Shattuck Park Concerts, Streetball, the
Farmer’s Markets and during December the very popular live mannequin event was awesome. Thanks
to Future Neenah for partnering with us and taking the lead on these community even ts!
• 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.
• The Library added a Bibliocycle; a bicycle pulling a custom -made cart with shelves that unfold into a
traveling library. What a great way to serve and deliver the joy of reading to the city.
• 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
2020 Goals/Plans: In 2020 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. We will stress 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. Small things, like the Council
and the Mayor volunteering at the Saturday City Garage Recycling Center, will continue and give residents
the opportunity to help us by bringing things directly to us and saving our crews time during the week.
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 well under way and when completed, will bring a value of around $14.4 mil
along with the Coral Court Development, which will bring new townhouse style homes off of Winneconne
Avenue.
We hope to also announce new developments in the downtown area of mixed use / retail along with

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 an effort will be made to formulate a plan for continued investment. We will begin looking at grants and
available dollars for Arrowhead Park development opportunities.
Our recreation facilities, parks and trails will continue to be enhanced with new equipment and upgrades.
The second phase of the Washington Park Master Plan began. Concerts in the Park, CommunityFest and
all the other community-oriented events will continu e. Our parks and swimming pool will provide an outlet
to relax and have fun with our children or grandchildren.
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. Infrastructure changes in the downtown area so future development
projects will materialize enhancing our tax base.
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 community with an aggressive but understanding c ode
enforcement program. In 2020 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. 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!”
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.

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.

Goals/Responsibilities:
We are Neenah’s Guardians. We keep our community safe while respecting the rights and dignity of every person
we have contact with, whether victim, witness, or suspect. The two major emphasis of our department are to treat
all people with dignity and respect, and to have out-of-squad car experiences with our community.
Activities:
During 2019, the Neenah Police Department saw extensive change. We changed our lobby hours, which allowed
us to change our non-sworn staffing levels. We added three new positions, two full-time and one part-time. We
added a full-time Evidence Custodian and an Open Records/Accreditation position. We also added a part-time
Fleet Manager position. The department eliminated one full-time CommTech position, a part-time CommTech
position and a part-time open records position. These changes will allow the Neenah Police Department to be
more efficient and effective.
In 2019, the Neenah Police Department became accredited through the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation
Group also known as WILEAG. Only about 7% of law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin are accredited by
WILEAG.
We had significant changes in our leadership. We have a new Captain, Patrol Lieutenant, Patrol Sergeant,
Investigator and a new Patrol Officer.
Most of our regular activities can be divided into four primary categories:
Crime Control:
• Respond to and stop active criminal activity
• Investigate and document past crimes
• Make criminal arrests and referrals
• Provide courtroom testimony
• Present crime prevention strategies
• Conduct security surveys

• Conduct vacation checks

Neenah-Menasha Fire rescue (NMFR) is committed to providing a quality of public service that ensures the safety and well-
being of our communities. We are committed to protecting lives and property to help provide an exceptional quality of life
for our citizens. NMFR responds to over 2,400 emergency calls for service annually. NMFR provides our citizens fire
suppression, emergency medical services, special operations, and water/ice rescue. NMFR spends numerous hours training
to prepare its firefighters and provide skills needed to deal with the many hazardous conditions that occur when responding to
emergencies. Fire prevention activities include conducting over 3,200 inspections annually, fire investigations, tank
inspections and plan reviews. NMFR's award winning public education programs reach over 12,000 people a year through
open houses, safety fairs, parades, station tours, school visits and formal programs. The City's of Neenah and Menasha share
department costs based upon a four-factor formula.

Mission Statement:
Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue consists of committed professionals 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 full 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.
• Medical Responses continue to increase throughout Neenah and Menasha. As our medical response
becomes increasingly important, our training level has also increased.
• Mutual Aid Give n is when we assist another community with providing our apparatus and personnel.
(Note: Auto-aid with Appleton was suspended in June of 2018)
• Rescues are any call where we are requested to remove someone from harm. They include, but are not
limited to water, ice, trench, high angle, confined space and crash rescue.
• Unintentional Fire Alarms are typically received from residential facilities. They are alarms w here the
alarm system functioned as designed but there was not a fire.
• Fires outside include both natural and intentionally started fires. Recreational burning (fire pits) as well as
grass and other outside fires.
• Fires in Commercial Buildings are those calls where often an alarm system notifies us and there is
actually a fire. Commercial property loss is much greater than residential property loss.
• Fires in Residential Buildings include single family, multi-family and assisted living facilities.

In June of 2018 our auto aid with the Appleton Fire D epartment was suspended due to a change made by Outagamie
County. We continue to work with Appleton FD as needed for 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
Training
Training: By definition is “the action of teaching a person or animal a particular skill or type of behavior”. Fire and Rescue
training is not practicing until you get it right, it is practicing until you can’t get it wrong. Since 2015, we have hired 12 new
firefighters. Training “new” firefighters are only one portion of the department’s training needs. For every new entry level
firefighter, there are “new” Drivers, Inspectors, Captains and Shift Commanders. This demand for training all levels of our
department will always be critical for a well-run department. Looking towards the future of training in our department, the
next 3-5 years we will replace 20 firefighters. To prepare for the future we have transitioned from “lesson plans” to Job
Performance Requirements (JPR’s). JPR’s spell out how each “task” is to be completed. This affords our members to all
be trained to our required level, on all 3 shifts at all 4 stations, in a consistent manner. To highlight some 2019 training that
has been completed to date: One month recruit class, forcible entry, Rapid Intervention Team “RIT” firefighter rescue,
swift water rescue, Rescue Task Force “RTF”, automotive extrication along with school bus extrication, mental health
awareness and emergency medical service “EMS”.
Many of these training evolutions have been with neighboring departments, either hosted by NMFR or Appleton FD, Fox
Crossing FD, Town of Neenah FD, City of Menasha Police Department, City of Neenah Police Department and Gold Cross
Ambulance Service.

• Structural Fire Attack
• Wild Land Fire Attack
• Pump Operations – Water Movement
• High Rise – Aerial Operations
• Shore & Boat Based Open Water Rescue

• Mental Health – EAP, PTSD & Suicide Awareness
In the Training Division, 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. As stated above, “training is not practicing until you get it right, it is
practicing until you can’t get it wrong”. We are on pace to have near 18,000 hours of training in 2019. That sounds like an
unimaginable amount of training, but when lives are at stake, our citizens and firefighters deserve to be trained to the
highest level possible. A/C Peglow
Fire Prevention, Fire Investigations and Public Education
Neenah-Menasha Fire R escue 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 structures, refurbishing older facilities, as well as changes to any and
all fire detection and suppression systems in all commercial properties and multi -family residential facilities. Over the past
several years, both Neenah and Menasha have had several significant construction projects throughout the two
communities. We have worked very closely with property owners, architects, engineers, developers and building officials to
ensure that all projects are completed with fire and li fe 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.
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 2019, the City of Neenah’s 2% dues was
$84,975.48, and the City of Menasha’s was $45,958.92.
The Fire Prevention Bureau also oversees all fire investigations. 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 inc ident. Some of the smaller fires are 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 conducted. The size and complex ity of the fire may require that NMFR 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 pr o-active in our fire prevention/public safety educational programs , as well as , the juvenile
fire setter intervention programs. Our Public Education Team, along with line personnel, provide public education
programs and fire/life safety presentations and i nformation to more than 10,000 children and adults annually. 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 in October. NMFR has installed in excess of 391 smoke detectors in single-
family residential homes throughout the cities of Neenah and Menasha at no cost to the residents or NMFR, as all of the
smoke detectors have been donated to NMFR’s smoke detector program. We provide educational presentations and
information for elderly residential 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 em ergency
action plans. Public education and fire prevention are both difficult to gain a true perspective of the quantifiable numbers of
fires prevented and/or lives saved due to the information shared and lessons learned during the presentations. However,
we are very confident that maintaining the outstanding level of service that we provide, certainly makes a huge difference
and is without a doubt saving lives and property within the communities of Neenah and Menasha. A/C Green

Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue Special Operations Team:
NMFR has been involved for many years in a joint collaboration with the Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh Fire
Departments to provide Special Operations/Technical Rescue capabilities for our communities. NMFR has gained
valuable training, as well as approx imately $200,000 worth of vehicles and equipment. These funds have been
provided by the State of Wisconsin through the Department of Homeland Security.
In 2011, the State of Wisconsin reviewed the Special Operations program and moved forward with one statewide team
versus four regional teams. Working under a signed contract with the State of Wisconsin, NMFR personnel continue
involvement with the State of Wisconsin/Wisconsin Emergency Management Rescue Team (Wisconsin Task Force 1).
Their participation increases their level of knowledge, skills, and abilities, enabling them to bring those skills and provide
this service at the local level . NMFR’s involvement has continued. A 2- year contract was signed wit h the State of
Wisconsin in 2016. The department now has six (6) members still participating with the WI-TF1.
