Chairman Meyle Called the meeting to order at 7:02PM, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. 2. Trustees Present: Chairman Meyle, Trustee Haas Staff Present: Administrator Jenkins, Chief Weyker, Sergeant Leet, Marshal Davel. Others Present: Trustee Dohrwardt (observing) 3. Motion to Approve Minutes of Monday, September 12 th, 2022, Public Safety Committee Meeting made by Trustee Haas. Seconded by Chairman Meyle. Passed by unanimous voice vote. 4. Public Comments: none. 5. Items for Discussion and/or Action: a) Discussion on Crosswalk Safety at Highland Dr. and Fredonia Ave: Administrator Jenkins shared that Trustee Paape was concerned about safety in front of Dollar General. He said that DPW Director Paulus shared a picture of a stop sign indicating that traffic should stop for pedestrians was run over by a distracted driver 20 minutes after it had been placed at the intersection. To bring awareness to the intersection, he has talked to the county, which has right of way privileges on that part of road, is considering installing right turn arrows. DPW Director Paulus has installed “Caution Driveway” and smaller stop signs to bring awareness to pedestrians. Flashing crosswalk signs are being considered as part of the reconstruction of Highland Dr. Those signs require DOT approval and can be quite costly. Chairman Meyle asked who staff had spoken to at the county. Administrator Jenkins responded that he had talked to the Highway Commissioner, Jon Edgren. He shared that the county could paint the right turn lines, but any further mitigation tactics would be left to the Village. Trustee Dohrwardt asked about putting crosswalks east and west from the bank property to the gas stations. He stated that there was no place to land for pedestrians. He suggested considering engineering a decent place for residents to land when crossing that road. VILLAGE OF FREDONIA Find Your Moments Here Posted at Port Washington State Bank, Fredonia Post Office, and Village Hall on 7/8/2025 b) Update on Paramedic Program- Chief Weyker shared that the dollar amount to be received from the county had been finalized. He and Administrator Jenkins met to discuss scenarios on where that money could take them. He shared that the paramedic program currently has two full-time paramedics, and the third full-time paramedic has stepped back to part-time hours. Chief Weyker shared a scenario that included three full-time paramedics. He said that it would cost about $715,000 by the end of 2025. He shared an alternative scenario utilizing two full-time and three part-time paramedics, which would cost about $638,000. Part-time employees would not receive benefits such as WRS and health insurance. He stated that the program budget is $548,000 and currently is about $90,000 short by the end of 2025. Chief Weyker stated his strong opinion is to do this right, rather than right now. He doesn’t want to leave shifts vacant if one paramedic can’t work, as they would have to answer calls at an EMT level, not a paramedic level. He added that they adjusted the rates charged for paramedic level calls, bringing in about $400 per call. Chairman Meyle asked if the second scenario is the more desirable scenario. He said the plan looks like the Village would save money, and with two full-time and three part-time paramedics, there would be enough people to fill the staffing gaps. Chief Weyker agreed. Trustee Haas stated that he was concerned that the Village would be looking at three straight years of referendum and didn’t want residents to get fatigued. He supports the program 100% but is concerned about the messaging. He asked even if the referendum passes, when would it go into effect? Administrator Jenkins responded that it depends when they went to referendum. He said the goal has always been to make the dollars stretch until the end of 2025 with the intention of not impacting taxpayers until 2026. In that case, the Village would go to referendum spring of 2025 to capture funding in fiscal year 2026. The Village does have the option to go out to referendum in an August or November election, but he felt that should be considered if the other three participating communities did the same. He shared that the largest voter turn out would be in November, but it would be a rush to prepare joint meetings and get everyone on board. The participating communities who may need to go to referendum have been planning on spring of 2025 and may need that time to prepare. Trustee Haas asked how the $90,000 gap could be met. Chief Weyker responded that they could increase the base rate 25%. He said they could implement the increase and then would have to see where the numbers fall, possibly scaling back staffing levels for 2025. Chairman Meyle asked when the rate increase would take effect? Administrator Jenkins responded that it would take effect now, but reminded the committee that the other three communities would need to agree as well. He suggested a joint meeting to discuss the real cost of running this new program, to see if the communities still see value in the program, and if they do, explain that all would need to contribute to the budget shortfall. He wouldn’t want to have to do that, so he wants to make sure that the Village has explored all avenues. Trustee Haas said he understood, but at the same time, the Village and Town of Belgium know what’s coming. Chief Weyker shared that the Village of Belgium’s treasurer made a spreadsheet that he and Administrator Jenkins used in planning, and it was something that they could bring to the other communities to support the discussion. Chief Weyker added that the program made significant one-time purchases that wouldn’t need to be made again. Trustee Haas said there is a lot of referendum fatigue in the Village. He would like to see this program be successful. Chairman Meyle asked for clarification on if this referendum would increase property taxes. Administrator Jenkins explained the grant money covers just the payroll costs of the three paramedics. The four participating communities would be responsible for covering all the associated costs of running the entire program. Trustee Haas asked which of the neighboring communities going to referendum this Posted at Port Washington State Bank, Fredonia Post Office, and Village Hall on 7/8/2025 year would be most comparable to the Village. Chief Weyker stated that none of them were comparable, as those communities are all asking for more people, whereas the Village is not. Administrator Jenkins has been collecting all the marketing materials from each community and is keeping a close eye on which communities will pass these referendums. Trustee Haas said he was very interested in what will happen in Saukville, as they have both the school and EMS questions on the ballot in spring. He asked what happened if the referendum would fail in the Village. Administrator Jenkins responded that he heard Bill Rice speak about that issue. He said if the referendum passed in one community but failed in another, Mr. Rice wasn’t sure what would happen. Chief Weyker said the communities that passed would likely have to consider if they were willing to cover the cost that the community that failed would have contributed. Then there would be the question of if services would be provided to that community. Trustee Haas cited Port Washington as having both a water upgrade and an EMS question on the ballot. If it failed, would Port get serious about merging with somebody? He went on to wonder what would happen if the question should fail in one of the Village’s participating communities. Administrator Jenkins said the Joint Committee should have those discussions in advance of the referendum so that everyone is prepared for that situation. Trustee Haas said he felt that residents wanted to be sure that when they dial 911, they want to be sure someone comes. He would really like to make sure that this is done correctly, messaged effectively, and passed. He added that a good job was done by all. Chief Weyker said that they knew in advance that the money wouldn’t see the program through 2025, so they’ve tried to make strategic choices about timing of new hires. He felt it was good that they hired the third paramedic when they did, as he was in place when the county auditor came in January. His opinion is to go with the second scenario, utilizing three part-time paramedics, and carefully watching the money as they move forward. He said they will make sure that Life Quest is getting everything that they can when billing and that rates are where they need to be. The last time they considered a rate increase was in 2020. Trustee Dohrwardt asked if a $25,000 figure discussed at a Joint Committee meeting to fund a payroll gap was still viable to balance 2025. Chief Weyker responded that it was a conversation that could be had. Trustee Dohrwardt said they couldn’t realistically budget through 2025. The Village should be able to identify shortfalls to get to the point where there is a realistic dollar amount to work with. Chief Weyker said that they could use the formula from the treasurer in Belgium to identify shortfalls and explain to the participating municipalities what their share would be. Trustee Dohrwardt added that was what the communities agreed to as a way of determining shares. Chief Weyker said that it illustrates that money wasn’t frivolously spent, that it went to wages as intended. c) Update on Student Ride-Along Program- Sergeant Leet shared that this was a program started in the fall. They’ve done it periodically over the years as a fundraiser. They show students the squad and radio and give them a ride to school. Last fall they made the program permanent, and the first Monday of every month a couple of students are selected to participate. NOSD select students who have been recommended by teachers. Pictures are taken for the newsletter. The program has ended this year and will resume in the fall. Chairman Meyle asked how often they do the ride along. Sergeant Leet responded that currently it’s once per month, but he’s interested in upping the number of rides to twice a month. Chairman Meyle felt it was good that those students would more positive interaction with the police. Sergeant Leet said he had positive conversations with parents as well. Chairman Meyle thanked Sergeant Leet for his good work. Posted at Port Washington State Bank, Fredonia Post Office, and Village Hall on 7/8/2025 d) Interview Candidate for Head Marshal Position • Sergeant Eric Leet: Marshal Davel said that Sgt. Leet has been in the Village almost as long as he has and has his full endorsement for the position of head marshal. Marshal Davel then excused himself so Sergeant Leet could speak freely. Chairman Meyle asked the following questions: Why do you want to be the marshal of the Village of Fredonia? Sgt. Leet responded that there are several reasons. One of his career aspirations has been to be in the “big chair”. He has enjoyed leadership positions in Port Washington. He said this was an opportunity that very few people receive. He would love the opportunity to serve Fredonia. He grew up in the area and knows the culture and people. He was thrilled when he was offered a position years ago in Port Washington, which afforded him the opportunity to stay in Northern Ozaukee County. Chairman Meyle commiserated about the difficulties of applying for a job during those years. Sgt. Leet said he’s been very engaged with Village government, and this is where he wants to be. Can you tell us about your experience in law enforcement and qualifications for the job? He started in Port in 1994 and spent his entire career there. He retired after 29 years of service. He served as a sergeant and lieutenant. He highlighted the leadership training he has attended. Sgt. Leet reinforced that the role of marshal in Fredonia is not just administrative and must do enforcement work as well. What is your philosophy or style of law enforcement? Sergeant Leet responded hie prefers verbal resolution and was successful at achieving compliance but acknowledged that there were limitations. He understands there is a point when law enforcement action must happen. He feels he has reached a good balance of law enforcement action and mediation. His leadership style is to give his officers what they need to do their jobs well. Sometimes what is needed is discipline, but his goal is not to get to that point. He said they should hire right, train right, and give the officers what they need to succeed. Chairman Meyle agreed with a verbal compliance philosophy. What are your future plans for the office, and what are any changes you would make and why? Sergeant Leet responded that he has already created a second in command position (his own), and he has someone in mind to step into that role. This model exists in like communities. He’d like to update technology and computer processes. He understands the importance of social media and would like to expand the marshal’s office social media presence. He will review existing policies and make sure that the Village is compliance with statute. Chairman Meyle asked what kind of social media posts he would consider. Sgt. Leet responded that the Village website would be a repository of information page for residents. Facebook would be situational information, like winter parking and summer bike safety. What is your current relationship with the current SRO and how would you continue this? Sergeant Leet said he enjoys a great relationship with the NOSD School Resource Officer. He shared that he was once the SRO and maintains a good relationship with the superintendent and with the Ozaukee County Sherrif’s office. Trustee Haas asked what Sgt. Leet’s plan would be to consider the future of the finances of the marshal’s office and replacement vehicles in the future. He admired the way Marshal Davel planned to avoid borrowing: Sergeant Posted at Port Washington State Bank, Fredonia Post Office, and Village Hall on 7/8/2025 Leet said big picture planning is important for the CIP. He said that there is no program to set aside money. He said that squads are the most visible representation in the Village. He felt that they needed to be kept neatly and in good working order. He will conduct an annual assessment of all vehicles ahead of budgeting and works well with Administrator Jenkins. He said currently the squads are in great shape and wouldn’t recommend replacement. He is aware he needs to be a good custodian of the Village’s money. Trustee Haas added that it could take years to get a new squad. Sgt. Leet agreed there needs to be planning and will watch finances closely. The Village was recently petitioned by a group of citizens to pass an ordinance to allow golf carts on certain local streets. The ordinance would reflect what has been passed in Belgium and Random Lake. What is your opinion? Sgt. Leet can see both sides of the issue. He has used golf carts up north, He has concerns about its applicability here. He said residents in this part of the state are not used to sharing roads with recreational vehicles, but he can appreciate the ease of use. He said that what can be done safely in some regions isn’t always a good fit in another. He has no concerns that people operating the carts will do it unsafely, he’s more concerned about the other drivers. Chairman Meyle confirmed that Sgt. Leet enjoyed the use of golf carts in his own casual time, but it that it wouldn’t work in the Village? Sgt. Leet said that he felt like the out-of-town traffic also poses a risk. Trustee Haas asked if Sgt. Leet would provide a presence through an entire meeting at a heated meeting: Sergeant Leet said that he would absolutely attend meetings, especially one with an anticipated problem, and that retirement affords him flexibility. He’s also shared that he is an advocate of free speech, but he would keep the peace. Trustee Haas agreed how important maintaining freedom of speech is to him. Chairman Meyle reinforced how important free speech is and is a right that people take for granted now. Sgt. Leet described himself as a constitutional scholar, and both committee members were pleased. Motin to Recommend to the Board of Trustees to Approve Sergeant Eric Leet to be the Head Marshal for the Village of Fredonia made by Trustee Haas. Seconded by Chairman Meyle. Passed by unanimous voice vote. Trustee Dohrwardt asked if Sergeant Leet had had occasion to participate in County Emergency Preparedness training. Sgt. Leet responded that yes, he had participated in both tabletop exercises and as part of his ICS training. He shared that it has become increasingly common to have active shooter training. Chairman Meyle reinforced how important active shooter training is for law enforcement. 6. Correspondence: None 7.

Also, during this time 417 vehicles were recorded over 35 MPH and of those 417, 40 were recorded in excess of 40 MPH. This accounts for .014% of the total vehicles traveling through this area. Fredonia Marshal’s Office There are a number of traffic related issues that makes the intersection of Fillmore and Fredonia Avenue a more challenging one than other intersections in the village. The biggest of them is the nature of Fredonia avenue. As one of the counties major east/west arterial roads it holds a higher than usual traffic count for the village and tends to have higher speeds. The speed survey we conducted last year showed almost thirty thousand vehicles per week on Fredonia Avenue. It also showed higher speeds. These two factors alone make Fredonia Avenue intersections less “safe” than those elsewhere in the village. Couple that with the narrow fields of view in that particular section of the downtown, I can understand the concern. If you compare traffic counts to our other high traffic roads such as Martin and Milwaukee (Both around the seven to eight thousand vehicles per week mark) it lends itself to the conclusion that the majority of traffic on Fredonia Avenue is “out of town” as opposed to “local”. That also creates a challenge for us. In law enforcement terms, a more transient traffic situation means that enforcement measures we can take, although still necessary, will not be as effective as it would be if the traffic is more local. It doesn’t have the same collective impact on the collective driving public as it normally would. As such steps towards improving visibility for the crosswalk and walkers is probably something worth considering. There are a number of ways you can do this. You can improve the signing of the crosswalk and improve the visibility of the road markers. More flags, signs, and paint. You can add a lighting element. Either a permanent flashing light to draw attention to the crosswalk signs, or a system that includes a button that the pedestrian can press to turn on the flashing lights. I think this is more dynamic as there is a visible change that can alert motorists. The next upgrade to consider from that would be actual red lights to stop traffic that the pedestrians can control. Grafton has a system that does this near river park on State Highway 60. This is probably the safest option, but it may involve working with the county to approve this as Fredonia Avenue is a shared jurisdiction roadway. Marshal Eric Leet Chief Weyker, Per your request, Asst. Chief Schommer, Capt. Tesker, Retired Chief Brian Schommer and myself, met to obtain finance options for the replacement of our current 1998 Pierce 65’ TeleSquirt. We reached out to 2 vendors that were contacted earlier this year for budgeting purposes. The vendors were Fire Service, Inc representing E-One and Reliant Fire Apparatus representing Pierce. During our original meetings, we as a group felt an apparatus with a smaller aerial would hinder capabilities and in essence, go backwards. If a potential life rescue event required an aerial device, a shorter aerial would require a setup closer to the structure that could be compromised due to the fire evolvement. We discussed working towards NFPA 1901 Chapter 9, Quint Fire Apparatus. While obtaining budget numbers, we discovered the increase from a 75’ aerial to a 100’ aerial was approximately 4.5% of the overall cost with one vendor. This led us to look at aerials in the 100’ category which we feel will be beneficial to the Fredonia Fire Department. Below is a snapshot of the information we received back pertaining to finance options. The complete files will also be attached in the email. If additional information is required, please let us know. Ryan Bublitz Lt. of Engineers Fire Service, Inc E-One Fire Service, Inc was the first to send back information. The total equipment cost was calculated from previous conversations with us and norms from other orders. A sit-down meeting would still be required with a probable +/- monetary deviation from what is listed to meet the requirements of the Fredonia Fire Department. :···············-p·roposaroate; Equipment Description/ :. ..

A A A . A A A 0PNCBANK Finance Program Options Lease Purchase Plan With a lease purchase plan, you can purchase the apparatus gradually over time. This allows you to use available capital for operations or other needs. At the end of the lease, you can purchase the apparatus for just $1. Terms for this plan range from 2 to 15 years (10 years for apparatus with commercial chassis). Choose a lease purchase if: You prefer ownership of the apparatus and need to spread capital costs over time. Turn-In Lease Plan The turn-in lease plan contains a “balloon payment” for the estimated resale value of the apparatus at the end of the lease. A department has two options at lease term: 1. Purchase the apparatus by paying off or refinancing the “balloon payment.” 2. Return the apparatus to Pierce and lease a new Pierce apparatus (Pierce pays off the balloon payment). Terms for this plan range from 2 to 10 years of use. This lease contains mileage and apparatus condition provisions, with 10,000 and 15,000 annual mileage options available. Choose a turn-in lease if: You want to pay for the use of the apparatus over the lease term and need a flexible, cost-effective fleet management program. 0.PNCBANK Lease Start Options Fredonia Fire can start the financing at any time from the date of order to the date of delivery Fredonia Fire will receive all remaining Pierce prepay discounts from the financing start date to the date of delivery. r L _J Making Lease Payments Prior To Delivery Lease payments made prior to delivery have two layers of protection: 1.
