AED AVAILABILITY GROWING IN WAUKESHA

The Waukesha Fire Department has been working to create quick access to AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in public buildings and spaces. AEDs are used to provide lifesaving efforts when a person is experiencing cardiac arrest. They are critical for helping to save lives and should be used while you are waiting for first responders to arrive.

All-weather AED enclosures are now installed in many of our City parks to offer24/7 public access to defibrillation. To access the lifesaving equipment, bystanders call 911 to receive the access code to open the enclosure.

The City currently has 55 registered public access AEDs, with 26 of those AEDs at City facilities throughout the community.

The Waukesha Fire Department will be out at the Waukesha Farmers’ Markets to help you learn about AEDs, hands-only CPR, and more. Come out to visit them on May 18, June 22, August 17, and September 21, 2024

SUMMER SAFETY REMINDERS

ZONING CODE UPDATE BEGINNING

As summer arrives, the Waukesha Police Department is reminding residents that everyone plays a role in safety. Whether enjoying outdoor activities, attending events, or simply spending time at the park, always be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.

Remember to lock doors and windows when leaving home, and report any suspicious activities.

The City is beginning the process of rewriting its zoning and sign ordinances. The purpose of this project is to make sure that the codes are up-to-date, reflect modern practices, and help position our City for the future.

By working together to prioritize safety, we can make this summer in Waukesha a positive experience for everyone.

There will be opportunities for public input. More details are available on the City website at: waukesha-wi.gov/zoningcodes

WAUKESHA STRONG COMMUNITY TILE PROJECT Everyone in the community is invited to engrave a clay tile as part of the Waukesha Strong Community Tile Project on Friday, June 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during Friday Night Live in Downtown Waukesha.

The cost of a tile is $25, with proceeds going to the Parade Memorial Fund. All the tools and materials for working on the tile are provided.

Once complete, all the tiles will be placed on the wall at the Parade Memorial at Grede Park.

OUTDOOR FIRES - RULES FOR SAFE, SUMMER FUN

We know warmer weather has many of us anxious to get outside. In residential areas, open fires are permitted between the hours of 3 p.m. and 12 a.m., provided that certain requirements are met, such as: Not conducted less than 25 feet from any structure, tree, shrub, bush, fence, or combustible material.

Conducted in a below-ground fire pit or in an outdoor fireplace.

It is not permitted when the wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour.

JOIN THE CITY OF WAUKESHA TEAM We have a number of open positions with the City of Waukesha, from police patrol officers to arborists and mechanics to administrative staff and everything in between! You can be a part of making a difference right where you live!

You can read the full code on the City’s website at: waukesha-wi.gov/codebook

DON’T FLUSH THAT! Doing some spring cleaning? Sometimes we forget that the toilet is not a trash can. All wipes and disposable cleaning products belong in the trash. Even though some products are labeled "flushable," they should not go down the toilet as they can clog the sewer system, contributing to costly cleanups and basement backups.

Common Offenders (need to go in the trash can to dispose).

Disinfecting wipes Paper towels Swiffer mop refills Toss-in toilet bowl wands

Shop towels/rags Towelettes Baby wipes

Thank you for helping to maintain the City’s wastewater operations!

DRUG TAKE-BACK PROGRAM Have unwanted or expired prescriptions? Did you know? You can drop them off at the Waukesha Police Department (1901 Delafield St.) in their drug disposal box, which is located in the lobby. This helps to keep medications out of the wrong hands and out of the water supply.

WE ACCEPT Pills Patches Creams Inhalers

Liquids Ointments

WE DO NOT ACCEPT Aerosol cans Biohazard waste Restricted controlled substances Syringes

GARBAGE/RECYCLING REMINDERS The best practice for garbage and recycling collection is to set your carts or containers out the night before your collection day (unless there is bad weather).

All containers must be out by 6:00 a.m. on pickup day. If the materials are not out on time, the garbage and/or recycling trucks will not return for a late setout.

Please note that garbage and recycling collection will be delayed for the following holidays: Memorial Day: No collections will take place on Monday, May 27. All collections are pushed back one day, with the normal Friday collections taking place on Saturday, June 1.

4th of July: No collections will take place on Thursday, July 4. Regular Thursday collections will take place on Friday, July 5, and regular Friday collections will take place on Saturday, July 6.

COMMUNITY HEALTH These programs are offered at no charge through the United for Waukesha Resiliency Center and the City of Waukesha Parks, Recreation & Forestry Dept.

Free Trauma Sensitive Yoga

Everyone in the community is welcome.

A trauma informed approach to yoga makes practice safer and more accessible through intentional language and movement.

When we live through traumatic experiences, as our community has, it changes how we interact with the world.

Our minds may adapt by reliving the past, disconnecting from our bodies, or becoming hyper alert of what might happen in the future. As adaptations help us survive traumatic experiences, they can make it hard to live in the present and feel like we’re in control of our lives. In this class, participants are guided through gentle moving yoga poses that help strengthen your body, be mindful of your breath, and help build energy. Participants are welcome to participate in a chair or mat (please bring your own) as modifications will be made.

BRANCHING OUT

Community Roots A Tree Planting Program

The City of Waukesha Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department (WPRF) has had a long tradition of tree planting to honor, commemorate or memorialize individuals or events via monetary sponsorship.

Trees Make a Difference By sponsoring a tree, you are improving the environmental quality of our community now and for future generations.

Trees not only enhance the beauty of the community, positively affecting our state of mind and attitudes, but provide other benefits such as assisting with storm water run-off, improving air quality, and lowering energy consumption and costs.

How the Community Roots Program Works WPRF will assist you in selecting a beautiful site and an appropriate tree for the occasion. Further, WPRF will purchase, plant and maintain the tree as it does for all the public trees throughout the City of Waukesha. All contributions are acceptable and accumulate toward the price of a tree. Costs are set annually by the Common Council as the assessed value for all types of trees and tree sizes. Currently the said cost is set at $350 per tree.

Tree Planting Request Forms are available on the website.

Please scan the QR Code below. Trees are generally planted in the Spring and Fall, so the selected tree decides the season the

tree is planted. Suggested trees include maples, oaks, red bud, dogwood or gingko trees. Exceptions are considered for other tree types depending on the location. Many of the parks are full so alternative locations may also be suggested.

Donors are called with the approximate date of the tree planting and given the option to be part of the planting process if desired. A temporary recognition tag is attached to the tree after planting so that the tree can be identified.

A recognition certificate will be sent to the person(s) being honored or sent to the donors after the tree is planted.

The tree is listed in our “Community Roots Log” that lists the location coordinates, history of the tree, maintenance and other special notes. The Log is updated in December each year as the tree is an investment that continues to grow. If the tree is no longer viable, another tree is selected to replace the tree.

Trees are guaranteed for perpetuity The names of those honored or memorialized and park location are inscribed and displayed on the “Recognition Tree” located in the lobby of the EB Shurts Environmental Education Center, 810 W. College Avenue. The leaves are updated in December each year.

Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

When you honor a relative, friend, or member of your organization by giving a tree you contribute to the infrastructure that appreciates with time. Consider donating a tree today!

“When you plant a tree, you plant a legacy.”
