The Town of Neenah Annual Town Meeting was held on Tuesday April 17, 2018 with 37 people in attend-ance. During this meeting, Glenn Armstrong and Jim Weiss were sworn in as Town of Neenah Supervisors and there were several items brought up for discussion by Town Electors including how to fund the shortfalls for Town expenses.

CHAIRMAN’S CHATTER

Welcome to the 2018 spring/

summer addition of Chairman’s

Chatter. As per usual, I am drafting

this just prior to Memorial Day

weekend so at this reading, I hope

one and all had a wonderful time

with friends and family. I will talk

more about this national holiday

later in my “Fun Facts”.

Once again at our annual town

meeting road maintenance was a subject of discussion.

The 2017 highway budget was $134,000. The 2017 actual

was $91,378. The 2018 budget is $251,639. That works out

to a 175.4% change in budget from 2017 to 2018.These

numbers are for road maintenance alone and not the road

reconstruction numbers for Sunrise Bay Road and Hunters

Point Road. According to the Wisconsin Town’s Associa-

tion’s transportation report; “The average town is crack

filling a paved road every 16.1 years when it should be

more like every 3 years. The average town process of seal

coating, every 31.4 years per road when 5-7 is the norm.

And, the average town road, in the state, is being recon-

structed every 370.8 years! Roads just do not last that

long.” (This is data from the Wisconsin Towns Associa-

tion). The State finally heard our town’s pleas for more

state aid and the Joint Committee on Finance came

through with approximately $23.5M. Our 2018 Transpor-

tation State Aid is $71,431. We say “Thank You.” Howev-

er as you can see there still will be a short fall in highway

maintenance monies. Our roads are a tad better than the

average town roads. That is due to the work of our town

road supervisor Ed DeKeyser working with the Winneba-

go County Highway Department. Together they have per-

formed the best they can with the monies we do have. The

overall 2017 town Public Works budget was $870,091. The

2018 budget is $900,221. That’s a 35.1% increase. I, and

the Town Board of Supervisors have been looking at ways

to gain revenue. For some time now I have advocated that

perhaps we should look at the sale of some of our town

owned properties while still keeping adequate “Green

Space”. Now, the town board as a whole and members of

the Planning Commission, are investigating that scenario.

Because it is public owned land we will continue to update

all of you on any potential town land sales.

Let’s talk recycling. Our population is presently 3,537. The

Winnebago County Solid Waste Management Board

(WCSWMB) 2018 Recycling Tonnage Report shows that

per year, we average 66.29 lbs. of recycled materials per

person. Our two neighboring towns of Clayton and Vin-

land average 74.84 lbs./person and 76.81 lbs./person re-

spectively. The WCSWMB and the Signing Municipalities

that participate in recycling earned surplus revenues in

2017. The 2017 Signing Municipalities portion of the sur-

plus revenue is $263,793 of which our share is $7,971.

These revenue monies are not shown in the budget. How-

ever revenue in any form is much appreciated. Soooo…

Let’s not let other towns show us up Right ! I know we can

do better than what we are recycling now. Every little bit

counts!

On a positive note, the annual Town Of Neenah’s Fire-

man’s picnic is the 19th of August. This is a great time for

the whole family to come out and see department equip-

ment, live demonstrations, and of course food and beverag-

es. Please come out and show them your appreciation for

their dedication of service.

And for my Fun Fact: As I stated earlier, by the time you

are reading this, Memorial Day has come and gone. And

so too has Armed Forces Day. Do you know the difference

between these two important days in US history? Most do

know that Memorial Day is in recognition for the many

brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for

Freedom.

Armed Forces Day is specifically for members of the

military that are currently serving their country by recog-

nizing brave men and women in our armed services.

America has been honoring members of the military cur-

rently serving by celebrating this holiday on the third Sat-

urday in May since 1950. The tradition began when Pres-

ident Harry S. Truman sought a specific day to honor all

of our armed forces rather than have separate days for

each individual branch. In August 1949, Defense Secre-

tary Louis Jonson announced that Armed Forces Day

would be created and celebrated the following May. On

the first Armed Forces Day on Saturday May 20, 1950,

President Truman declared: "Armed Forces Day, Satur-

day, May 20, 1950, marks the first combined demonstra-

tion by America's defense team of its progress, under the

Fire Department

Town Board Supervisor Glenn Armstrong Retires from the Town of

Neenah Fire Department after 40 years of service

On March 7th, 2018, Town of Neenah Firefighter Glenn Armstrong retired after serving the community for 40

years…..exactly 40 years. Glenn retired on the same calendar date that he joined the department back in 1978. Over

the years, Glenn served the department in virtually every role and was involved in virtually every major change that

occurred on the department over those years. Glenn prides himself as the “town’s unofficial historian” and always

could pinpoint the year of a significant incident and who was there and what efforts were used to control the situa-

tion. He highlighted some of those incidents at the Annual Town Meeting in April when he was presented a plaque

honoring his service.

Glenn also participated on many committees and projects ranging from the construction of the Fire Station/Town

Hall on Breezewood Lane to being part of several committees involved with the specification and purchase of the

fire department’s apparatus. Glenn also held the position of Fire Chief from 1985-1990.

Glenn’s involvement in the fire department will be missed as he was usually available to respond during the daytime

hours due to being self-employed in farming.

Glenn’s experience and leadership will truly be missed around the fire sta-

tion but, we wish him the best in retirement and we thank him for his 40

years of service to the Town of Neenah.

Firefighter Glenn Armstrong studies the pump controls on the department’s 3,000

gallon water tender, known as Tender 39. Glenn often drove this unit as he under-

stood the importance of getting water to a fire scene as quickly as possible.

Many of us have been involved in business organiza-

tions that are constantly working to gain a competitive

advantage using tools found in Continuous Improve-

ment programs. Fire Departments across the country

are no different use the same tools and stress the im-

portance training to maintain a “competitive ad-

vantage” when dealing with fire and medical emergen-

cies. These continuing education efforts amounted to

over 1,800 hours for 22 Town of Neenah firefighters as

they work diligently to enhance their practical skills and

knowledge. These 1,800 hours are in addition to the 36

hours of mandatory training each firefighter is required

to complete each year.

When we start to talk about over 2,500 hours of training

in 2017 by 22 individuals it’s easy to see the level of

dedication these men and women have for the role

they play in assisting the citizens of the community. And

let us not forget all of these folks perform these tasks as

in a part time role with the fire department. All of these

firefighters have full time jobs that they get up and go to

even after being out half the night at an emergency

call. Dedication….I think you’ll agree that it is at levels

that are “off the charts”.

The following is a quick listing of the course work com-

pleted in 2017 and some of the hours involved:

· State Certified Firefighter 1, 120 hours

· State Certified Firefighter 2, 42 hours

· Driver/Operator Pumper, 66 hours

· Emergency Services Instructor, 40 hours of classwork

and then 30 hours of teaching supervised by a

senior instructor

· Fire Officer 1 and Fire Inspector, 40 hours each

· Emergency Medical Responder (First Responder), 80

hours plus another 24 hours of refresher training eve-

ry 2 years.

· Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), 180 hours

· Hazardous Materials Operations, 24 hours

Another quick note, most of this training is done outside

a nice comfortable air conditioned classroom in real life

conditions of summer heat, winter cold, as well as rain

and snow.

Please join me in thanking our Firefighters and First Re-

sponders as they respond daily to the emergency

needs of the citizens of the Town of Neenah and know

that they have the best training available to perform

their roles.

Thank you,

Fire Chief Ed King

Village of Fox Crossing. The Town of Neenah does not currently have a Boundary Agreement with the Village, rather we have a Memorandum of Under-standing which states that the current boundary lines between the Town and the Village remain intact until November 2018 and that the two municipalities will make an attempt to negotiate terms for a long-term boundary agreement.

Boundary Agreement/Annexation Another topic of discussion was related to the existing Boundary Agreement between the City of Neenah and the Town of Neenah. At the time of the Annual Meeting, the City of Neenah expressed interest in fil-ing a petition to annex a one piece of property in the Armstrong Plat and a portion of Armstrong Street into the City of Neenah so they could extend Shoot-ing Star Drive. The Boundary Agreement with the City of Neenah designates certain areas in the Town as ‘City Growth’ meaning the Town of Neenah will not contest the City’s request for annexation, and oth-er areas in the Town as ‘Town Growth’ meaning the City will not request annexation of these properties.

The Armstrong Street Area does not fall into either of these two areas and for this reason, the Town Board notified the City of Neenah that the Town will oppose any attempt by the City to perform the proposed an-nexation. The City of Neenah has not responded to this notice.

Little Brown

Address Signs Those little brown address signs at

your property are a valuable resource

to our Firefighters, First Responders,

Law Enforcement and other emergen-

cy personnel when responding to call

at your property. Hopefully, you nev-

er need to call 911, but in the event of

an emergency, you want to make sure

the responders can quickly locate

your home. Please take a few

minutes to clear the area around your

address sign of brush, over grown

grass, and other vegetation that might

impair the visibility of your address

sign.

This is also a good time of year to

make sure your mailbox is securely

attached to the post and properly in-

stalled to avoid problems during the

winter snow plowing season
