VILLAGE ELECTRICITY NEEDS GO 100% RENEWABLE

The Village Board authorized the purchase of 522 shares of solar energy from

MGE at their July 17 meeting. The purchase of these shares along with ongoing

participation in MGE’s Green Power wind generation program will mean the

Village’s electric demand will be 100% sourced from wind and solar power

once MGE’s solar facility is built. The

Village is the only municipality in Dane

County to achieve this standard and

possibly the only municipality in the state.

The Village’s initial investment in the

purchase of 522 solar shares is $24,664.50

and a net present value analysis showed

significant savings to the Village over a

25-year period. There are no penalties for

withdraw from the program, other than

money spent on the initial investment.

VILLAGE BULLETIN AUGUST PAGE 2

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JULY 15, 2019 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (Complete detailed minutes will be available on our website or at the Village Hall)

Attendance – All trustees were in attendance.

Procedures Orientation – Mr. Benforado discussed the Village’s budget process.

Consent Agenda – In an effort to expedite meetings, items on the consent agenda are considered as a group

and are adopted with one motion. Any Board member may unilaterally remove an item from the consent

agenda if he or she believes the item needs discussion. The consent agenda included approval of regular

minutes for the June 17, 2019 Board meeting and seasonal hires for the Basketball Program, Tennis

Program and Department of Public Works (Mr. Benforado recused himself for this item since his son

works for the Basketball Program).

Special Meeting Minutes of June 12, 2019 – Mr. Benforado asked that this item be removed from the

consent agenda and had some suggestions to clarify the discussion of the University Avenue reconstruction

meeting and the stormwater/flooding. The Board unanimously approved the June 12, 2019 special meeting

minutes with Mr. Benforado’s changes.

Ordinance L-2019-2 – The Board took no action on ordinance L-2019-2 related to parking and towing

vehicles.

Ordinance L-2019-3 – The Board unanimously approved the third and final reading of Ordinance L-2019-3

amending section 2.02(10)(c)3 regarding resident/non-resident composition of the Waterfront Committee.

Consider issuance of conditional use permit for new home construction at 3580 Lake Mendota

Drive – The property owner tore down the existing home last year with the intent to build a new home on

the lot. The old home was north of the Lakefront Setback Line. The new home would comply with the

lakefront setback regulations. The topography of the lot is challenging with significant elevation changes.

The neighboring property owner is concerned about the water management plan for the new construction.

The property owner indicated he has a common goal with the neighbor to ensure the new home

construction does not cause water in the basement of either home. Professional engineers were hired to

develop a landscape/stormwater management plan that respects the neighbor’s property and will maintain

or improve the water drainage on the lot. The Village Engineer reviewed the submitted plan and found it to

meet all Village requirements. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit.

The Board reviewed the Plan Commissions findings in detail and unanimously approved the conditional

use permit for new home construction at 3580 Lake Mendota Drive.

Resolution R-2019-12 – In 2016, the Village widened University Bay Drive from Marshall Court to

University Avenue in order to add bike lanes while maintaining the existing capacity of the intersection

with University Avenue. The work was done in compliance with Wisconsin & Southern Railroad and the

Department of Transportation standards, including relocating the railroad signal and lengthening the gate

arm on the north side of the intersection. The office of the Commissioner of Railroads (OCR) has

requested that the Village file a formal petition for the alterations that were made to the crossing in 2016.

The OCR has not yet made the Village aware of any known deficiencies with the existing configuration of

the crossing. The Board unanimously approved Resolution R-2019-12 Petition for the alteration and

improvement of an at-grade crossing.

Consider quote for chip seal on Colgate Road, University Bay Drive and Cornell Court – Scott

Construction is the same company used by the Village last year. They are the only company in Dane

County that uses the desired boiler slag for seal coating. The Village Engineer reviewed the cost per foot

fee and feels it is appropriate. The Board unanimously accepted the proposal for chip seal on Colgate

Road, University Bay Drive and Cornell Court at a cost of $17,870 (that is budgeted in the Capital

Improvement Fund).

Consider participating in MG&E shared solar program and purchase shares – Mr. Benforado, an

employee of MG&E, recused himself from the discussion. The Board evaluated the present value analysis

provided. Mr. Frantz had prepared a breakdown of the various funds that could help pay the $24,664.50

purchase costs. Over the 25-year life of the agreement, the net savings would be more than the purchase

costs. Obtaining 100% of the Village’s power from renewable sources was identified as an environmental

benefit in the draft Sustainability Plan. The startup costs were not budgeted in 2019 because the program

was not available until now. The Village has a short time to join the shared solar program. The Board

unanimously approved participating in the MG&E shared solar program and purchasing shares (see article

on page 1 for more information).

Consider adjustment to the stormwater utility rate and set effective date – The Public Works and Finance

Committee reviewed the stormwater utility. It is projected to run a deficit in 2019. The utility was created

in 2007 and built up a large balance that has been paying for projects and operating expenses. Over the

years, operating expenses have outpaced revenues such that it is not sustainable without an increase to the

rate. A increase from $9.18 (per ERU) per month to $13 per month was proposed to cover expenses and

build a small surplus that could be used for future projects. The Board unanimously approved a rate change

from $9.18 per month to $13.00 per month effective September 1 (see article on page 6 for more

information).

Village President’s Report – Mr. Benforado pointed out the notice of a $5,633 insurance dividend received

from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual Insurance company. LWMMI provides the Village’s

property and liability insurance. The efficiently run non-profit company has very low overhead and has

provided a dividend for many years. He noted that for-profit insurance companies typically do not give

back dividends.

Village Administrator’s Report – Mr. Frantz mentioned the compliance letters received from WHEDA for

affordable housing at the apartment complexes. The apartment owners were required to contract with

WHEDA to monitor the affordable housing programs and the letters show that the owners are satisfying

their requirements.

Personnel Committee – The police department received 19 applications for full- or part-time police officers.

They will be interviewing 12 candidates this week to fill one full-time vacancy and replenish the part-time

office ranks.

Plan Commission – Mr. Imes reported that the Commission discussed Degen & Associates Proposal present-

ed at its June meeting. There was a lot of public comment at that meeting. The majority of residents were

from the Garden Homes neighborhood. They were not in favor of the proposed scale, size of the project.

Stormwater mitigation continues to be a hot topic and should move forward regardless of any proposed

Garden Homes redevelopment.

Ad hoc Stormwater Committee – Mr. Benforado reported that the Committee’s June 27 meeting was a pub-

lic input session. There seemed to be good support for the stormwater relief tunnel from residents in at-

tendance. They want to know what the features of the tunnel will look like.

Ad hoc Heiden Haus Committee – Mr. Frantz reported that a contract has been signed for a scope of work to

move the project forward.

Adjourn – The meeting adjourned at 9:41 pm.

JULY 4TH CELEBRATION

The weather during the week leading up to the 4th of July was wet and stormy, and it looked like we could

be facing rain on the 4th and/or difficulty getting out on the golf course to put on the fireworks display.

Fortunately our luck held out, and we were able to get all the festivities in. Attendance at the Village Dance on

Wednesday night was small, but the kids and adults who were there had a good time. Music was provided by

the Johnson DJs, and there were plenty of cold refreshments to stave off the heat.

Thursday morning saw a good turnout for a spirited and high scoring softball game. The Tri-It Triathaloners

(more every year) did their thing in the morning, before the heat got too uncomfortable. The Art Fair and Bake

Sale were up and running from the morning throughout the afternoon and were much appreciated. It’s nice for

our neighbors to display their artistic and culinary talents. I’m sure there are more artists who could share their

passions with us next year. A variety of traditional 4th of July (think John Phillip Sousa) and other American

music played over the speakers as people visited during the morning.

The Grand Parade with its large contingent of bikes, scooters, wagons, and strollers led by the 1929 Mack Fire

Engine made the rounds of Shorewood Hills School to begin the afternoon activities. We also had Randy

Clark’s restored WWII Army jeep leading the parade to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. When

the parade finished there were balloons and popsicles to enjoy as well as ice cream from the Chocolate

Shoppe. While the other events were being set up the ‘water-weasel’ on the east side of the Heiden Haus field

gave the kids (and a few adults) a chance to cool off. Then there were the ‘Kids’ games for those 6 and under

and the stage games for those a bit older. The 1929 Mack Fire Engine provided free rides to young and old for

an hour after the parade. Later on there were several very competitive rounds of egg toss for tossers of all ages.

Knowledgeable residents always are aware that is not safe to let your dog roam the Heiden Haus field until

there has been at least one good rain after the egg toss. The afternoon activities culminated with waterfights for

the kids and then the team waterfight competition called by our team of veteran announcers Jacob Johnson and

Dave Ahmann. This year we had 14 teams sign up with Coops Troops (lead by Scott Cooper) taking the trophy

for the fifth straight year. When all the fun was done and things were put away, the chefs of the Village Board

and Administration fired up the grills for the

Family Picnic.

At Blackhawk Country Club before the fireworks,

the Chocolate Shoppe was selling ice cream and

drinks (a portion of the proceeds being donated to

the Fireworks Fund) and ‘Let’s Eat Out!’ food

carts (Jaks Ohana and Kakilima) provided other

treats, as well. Musical entertainment was

provided by Christian Rickman, Chelsea Melnick

and the Michael BB Five-tet. Magician Henry

Rickman also entertained the crowd. Funding for

these artists was provided by some of the

proceeds from last fall’s Shorewood Scramble

golf tournament. The fireworks were great

although we had many misfires that we had to fire

off at the end (the finale after the finale). We were

very pleased with the selection of shells we had

this year and particularly with the changes we

made to the finale. We are always looking for

ways to make the show better. We would like to

thank everyone who helped make the show

possible with their donations to the Fireworks

SHOREWOOD SCRAMBLE

AND EVENING ON THE PATIO September 9, 2019

Blackhawk Country Club and the Village invite all

Shorewood Hills residents (and guests) to participate in

the Shorewood Scramble, a golf fundraiser for the 2020

fireworks celebration. If you are not a golfer, but would

like to spend an evening in a beautiful setting, join us for

the Evening on the Patio. After the golf scramble (5:00-

7:30 pm), players and others can relax on the outdoor

patio overlooking the golf course and Lake Mendota.

Golfers: scramble format; 12:00 noon shotgun star t.

$100/person ($75 will go to the Shorewood Foundation

for 2020 fireworks celebration and $25 will cover box

lunch and one drink ticket for Evening on the Patio; after

that cash bar).

Non-golfers: Evening on the Patio (5:00-7:30 pm).

Complementary fajita bar; music on the patio; cash bar.

Registration details are available on the Village website

Fund. The final tally is not yet complete (and you can still send in a contribution!), but with some funds from

last fall’s golf outing, donations may be able to cover the full cost of the fireworks (about $9,500) for the first

time. Special thanks to Fireworks “Fan”-atics and their families for the very significant donations they made to

the Fireworks Fund. We would also like to thank the Blackhawk Country Club for their financial support and

cooperation with the use of the grounds for the Fireworks show. If donations to the Fireworks fund do not

cover the entire cost of the show Blackhawk and the Village split the remaining balance.

One final reminder on fireworks…each year there are larger and fancier fireworks for sale to the general

public, and each year there are tragic accidents involving fireworks. Remember that, while bigger fireworks

items are more awesome, they are also more dangerous. Many of us in the EMS & Fire Association have 20+

years of training and experience. We are very careful in what we do (much more so than the average person

would be) and have equipment that allows us to fire most shells remotely, but those years of experience and

specialized equipment only minimize the risk of an accident. There is always a potential for problems; and the

bigger the fireworks, the bigger the potential danger. Please exercise great care with fireworks if you choose to

use them.

All-in-all, it was another very successful 4th of July! Planning is already under way for next year. All

volunteer help is greatly appreciated. It takes many people to make the celebration happen. Work on the July

4th activities begins many weeks before the actual celebration. Those on the front line are the members the

EMS & Fire Associations. David Sykes coordinates all of the activities from preparation and set-up through

clean-up so that nothing gets overlooked.

Others involved include the Shorewood Hills

Police, the Blackhawk Country Club staff,

Karl Frantz and the Village office staff, and

John Mitmoen and the Public Works crew.

The Shorewood Hills Community League

once again organized a very successful bake

sale and arranged to provide frozen treats for

everyone following the Parade, and also

provided a significant donation towards the

fireworks. A group of volunteers led by Birk

Cooper planned and coordinated the 6 and

under kids games. Tad Pinkerton displayed

his woodwork and coordinated the other

artists for the Art Fair. The Board of Trustees

chipped in again to man the grills for the

Family Picnic. And, many, many other

Village residents volunteered their time with

filling helium balloons, serving beer and soda,

helping with the kids games, cleaning up at

Blackhawk on July 5 and providing crowd

control before the fireworks. All the activities

from the dance through the clean-up went

smoothly thanks to all the help.

Keep an eye on next year’s May and June

Village Bulletins for volunteer opportunities

in 2020. As we like to say, the 4th of July is

right around the corner!

AUGUST PAGE 6 VILLAGE BULLETIN

STORMWATER UTILITY RATES TO INCREASE

The Village Board authorized an increase in the Village stormwater utility equivalent residential unit (ERU)

fee from $9.18 per month to $13.00 per month beginning with the September billing. All single-family homes

in the Village pay a fee based on one ERU. For the purposes of calculating the fee for commercial properties,

an ERU is equivalent to 2,941 square feet. All residential single-family homes will see about a $4 increase on

the monthly utility bill. Other entities will see an increase of about $4 per ERU they are currently being

charged.

The Village established the stormwater utility in 2007 to provide a dedicated source of revenue to help pay for

stormwater management activities to improve the quality of water that enters Lake Mendota and the aquifer.

Moving these expenses off the property tax levy also means that tax exempt properties pay a share of these

costs. The Village also is required to take steps to reduce the total amount of suspended solids (TSS) contained

in our stormwater as part of the permit we have to discharge. In 2007 (before any projects were completed),

the Village was at 4.6% of TSS removed. At the end of 2018, the Village is achieving 16.7% removal. The

increase results in eliminating about 7.4 tons of TSS that would have otherwise drained to the Lake on an

annual basis. For reference, the Village generates about 61.1 tons of TSS each year. Communities are expected

to achieve 20% reduction. This is very difficult in fully built out communities like Shorewood Hills.

Communities with new development occurring in green fields are able to construct large bio retention area as

part of their development and achieve large reductions in newly developed area that makes up for lack of

reduction in built up areas.

The stormwater fee has not been increased since the utility was formed in 2007. Since that time the Village has

undertaken $1.5M in capital projects to help improve water

quality through the construction and maintenance of bioretention

devices, and construction of curb and gutter on street projects.

Operating costs of the utility associated with street sweeping as

well as leaf collection have also increased. Without this increase

the utility was expected to exhaust its cash on hand and have a

cash deficit by 2020. Revenues based on the current rate are

about $149,000 per year with expenses approaching $200,000 on

average. The utility has had enough funds on hand to fund its

operating deficits for the last several years. The rate increase is

expected to produce revenues of $211,000 annually.

UTILITY BILL AUTOPAY

Are you tired of writing a check each month

for your utility bill? If so, you should

consider ACH or “AUTO PAY” through the

Village. It is a FREE service where the

monthly bill is directly debited from your

checking account on the 20th of each month.

Late fees will be a thing of the past if you

sign up for the Village’s ACH system. Go to

www.shorewood-hills.org/water for more

information and to download the ACH form.

RECYCLING TIPS – Water Contamination

Water is sometimes considered a contaminant in the recycling stream. Water

and moisture can cause paper and cardboard to disintegrate during the recycling

process. Please ensure that your recycle cart lid can close completely to prevent

items from getting wet. To watch a short video on water contamination (and

other recycling tips) go to: www.shorewood-hills.org/pellitteri

What Should I Do If I Have More Recycling Than My Cart Can Hold? Residents have several easy

inexpensive alternatives, for when you have more recyclables than will fit in your cart.

1) Carts are 30, 65 or 95 gallons. If your cart is smaller than the largest size, call the Village Hall to arrange

for an exchange to a larger cart.

2) Put your extra recyclables in a clear bag next to your cart (up to 32 gallon bags, no more than 50 pounds)

and it will be picked up at no extra charge.

3) Order and pay ($48) for an additional cart from Pelleteri by calling 257-4285 (only if you cans will fit in

your garage). Put both carts out on recycle day at no extra charge.

SECURE YOUR HOME BEFORE GOING ON VACATION

For many in the Village, August means vacations. The rec programs are ending and the swim/dive team season

is over. It is time to take a break before the school year starts. To avoid a surprise when you get home, please

follow these easy safety tips:

Secure all doors and windows in your home and vehicle(s) at night and when away.

Do not leave valuables or keys in your vehicle(s).

Contact the U.S. Postal Service and newspaper to stop delivery when going out of town.

Notify the Police when you plan to be gone. Vacation Security Report forms are available on-line or at the

Village Hall.

Inform your trusted neighbors when you will be away and have them check on your home.

Leave lights on or use timers so others think you are home. Lighting is the most cost effective security

measure available.

Take pictures of valuables and serial numbers (if the items have them).

Contact the Police if you notice something out of place when you return home. The non-emergency

number for the Police Department is 267-1110 (outside of business hours that number is answered by the

Dane County Communication Center).

Thank you for helping us keep the Village a safe place to live.
