What’s new in the Village?

Dear Resident: 2014 was a year of change at the village hall. Three new trustees (Jim Rafter, Matthew Harris and Bob Dennis) all began the first of their 3 year term of representing the entire Village. Tracy Flucke, previous Village Administrator, resigned her post in May. Brad Lange, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director since 1995, was hired as the new Administrator in August. The village also welcomed Brad Krueger - Special Equipment Operator, Kevin Wieland - Water Department/Building Inspection, Trevor Fuller - Planning and Zoning and Chris Clark, Director – Parks, Recreation and Forestry. Construction projects were abundant throughout the village. Highlights included the joint reconstruction of Hoffman Road with Brown County, which involved the addition of a round-about on Hoffman and Libal, bikes lanes, and additional sidewalks. A trail connection to the Fox River Trail was completed in Sunset Park and the long awaited reconstruction of the Resch Family East River Trail. The Resch Family East River Trail project consisted of widening the trail from 6’ to 10’ from the footbridge in Green Isle Park to Weise Park. Looking Ahead: The village continues to work with Wisconsin Department of Transportation on the proposed reconstruction of HWY 57/Riverside Drive. WisDOT is leading this project which is tentatively scheduled for reconstruction in 2018. There are some important target dates set regarding the design of the roadway, so please check out the village website at www.villageofallouez.com for further information and for public meeting notices. Allouez is preparing for a corridor study for future development along Riverside Drive. The corridor study will plan for development that fits with the existing residential character of Allouez, while utilizing the ecologic and economic benefits that the Fox River and Riverside Drive have to offer. A consultant firm will assist the village in understanding the desired need and vision for the Riverside Drive Corridor. The study will make use of current land uses, area densities, architectural styles, green space opportunities, and development tools, which best utilize the current and future needs of the village. Local businesses, stakeholders, village staff, and officials will be interviewed, as well as opportunities provided for public input at Village Board and committee meetings to specifically identify what the immediate and long-range goals are for the corridor. Identifying a vision and plan for the Riverside Drive Corridor will also promote the use and direction of one of the village’s most important economic tools, Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The village created the Tax Increment District in 2012 as a way to further meet the needs of residents and businesses in Allouez. TIF projects can be provided with financial assistance to overcome certain development obstacles that would otherwise prohibit development. This is a tool that helps the Village remain competitive with surrounding communities in attracting and retaining residents and businesses. On behalf of the village staff and elected officials, we wish all village residents a happy and healthy new year. Steve VandenAvond Village President 2

The Court processes approximately 1,500 violations annually and nearly 1,000 follow up actions concerning driver license status, vehicle registration, and forfeiture collection. Through the imposition of monetary civil forfeitures, the Court generates revenues annually, serving as a deterrent, ensuring the safety and welfare of Allouez Citizens. Infractions processed range from traffic and zoning violations, to offenses against public peace, safety and welfare. Judge James Charneski presides over all court matters and is assisted by a Court Clerk. The Judge and Clerk can be contacted concerning any court related matters Tues. and Thurs. 7:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m. and Wed. 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Village Hall or at 448-2800 ext 105.

Accordingly, Sheriff John Gossage is the designated police chief of the Village. All violations and/or incidents requiring police involvement should be reported to the Sheriff’s Office, located in Brown County. The Village also contracts with the Sheriff’s Office for a directed enforcement police officer. Deputy Rick Loppnow serves in this role. His position was created to focus on community policing.

Allouez | 2015

Code and Safety FROM THE DESK OF THE CODE & SAFETY ENFORCEMENT COORDINATOR BULK, BRUSH, and REFUSE CARTS are some of the biggest concerns for the residents of Allouez. The village receives numerous calls and emails about these issues. Residents are placing brush or bulk items out and leaving them at the curb or in the street for weeks before scheduled pick-up by public works which is in violation of the Village of Allouez ordinance covering brush and bulk pick-up. One of the jobs of the Code & Safety Enforcement Coordinator is to identify these violations and attempt to correct them by placing a green violation notice by the brush or on the bulk items. This bright green notice is there so the violation is easily seen by the residents and public works personnel. Once a notice is placed, a written letter is sent out the same day. The written notice explains the violation, the ordinance covering the violations, what steps the resident can take to correct the violation and what will take place if the violation is not corrected within a given time frame, which can result in a fee or a citation. Piles of brush and bulk items are unsightly along village roads and diminish the pleasing aesthetics of neighborhoods. Along the main corridors which are used not only by local residents but residents from other municipalities, brush and bulk items give off a bad first impression of the Village. On page 37 is a calendar showing the days set aside for pick-up of brush and bulk items. We ask that you look at the schedule and only place these items at the curb the day before your scheduled pick-up day. The other concern is refuse carts being left at the curb after pick-up or being placed in sight from the road when brought back to your home. We understand that at times something can come up where you can’t bring the cart back in the same day, or even the next day. If you know you can’t get to the cart after pickup you may want to ask a neighbor or family member to bring the cart in for you, and when you do retrieve the carts please place them in a screened area out of public view in accordance with the ordinance. The ordinance can be found at www.villageofallouez.com click on GOVERNMENT which opens a drop down list and click on MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES. You will find answers to BULK, BRUSH and REFUSE CARTS under chapter 5-Health. Your efforts to follow the schedule for brush and bulk pick-up and removing carts after trash pick-up as well as placing the carts in a screened area will help keep the Village of Allouez the beautiful place it is.

CROSSING GUARDS are Village of Allouez employees hired to ensure the safety of the children of Allouez who attend one of five schools located here. They are dedicated to their jobs and come in each day with a smile, a friendly hello and do this in all types of weather conditions. They conduct their jobs professionally and enjoy what they do as a way to give back to the community. We currently have 11 full time crossing guards and ten substitutes. This ensures there are guards on duty for the protection of your children each school day. The Village asks that you help the crossing guards by staying alert when driving, being aware of your surroundings and when you enter a school zone slow down and watch for guards crossing the children. Our officers patrol the school zones in the mornings and afternoons and have written several citations for speeding motorist in school zones. Help us keep the children safe, as well as the crossing guards, by obeying the traffic laws, following the speed limit and stopping for the guards when they step into the street with a stop sign held high. THE VILLAGE OF ALLOUEZ CADET PROGRAM has been in service for over three years. The young adults on the program volunteer their time to assist in identifying ordinance violations, criminal activity, conduct home checks, patrol the streets and parks, issue citations, operate the radar gun for traffic surveys and work special events such as the Bellin Run or Heritage Hill events. The cadets also assist the Directed Enforcement Officer with any special projects he or the Sheriff’s Department may have such as the Prescription Drug Drop-Off Campaign. The cadets get hands on experience during their ridealongs with the deputies. They are NWTC students working towards a degree in Criminal Justice which will help them when seeking future employment as law enforcement officers. The cadets find time to volunteer even with a heavy school schedule, as well as working other jobs and maintaining a home or social life. The cadets are not only here to assist the Village but to assist the residents with concerns they may have. We currently have 12 cadets with three of them assigned as supervisors. Since the program began we have had 38 cadets in the program with many of them leaving for jobs with various law enforcement agencies to include Green Bay PD, Madison PD, Milwaukee PD, US Marshall Service, and FBI. If you need assistance or have a concern about something and see a cadet please stop them. They are more than happy to listen and help in any way they can.

General Information ORDINANCE UPDATE The Village of Allouez recently updated our Home Occupation ordinance. The new ordinance defines “Permitted Home Occupation” as any business or commercial activity that is conducted from property that is zoned for residential use. The reason for the ordinance update is to maintain the residential neighborhood character by not allowing home businesses to become a nuisance. The village wants to control excessive vehicle and pedestrian traffic, placing signs and advertising on the property, loud noise and other negative impacts a business can have on a residential neighborhood. The goal is to allow residents to operate a home business in a manner that is not intrusive upon other residents, but allows them to generate extra income or even a living wage in a way that works for everyone. The ordinance includes an un-exhaustible list of businesses that can be run in a home and those that cannot. The ordinance can be viewed at www.villageofallouez.com, Municipal Code - Chapter 11 Zoning. If you have any questions or are planning on starting a “Home Occupation” please contact the Village Hall at 920-448-2800 and speak to the building inspector at extension 107, the code and safety enforcement coordinator at extension 121 or the village administrator at extension 106.

What you Need to Know When Putting in a New Driveway Anyone putting in a new driveway requiring street access or wider driveway to the streets is required to get a street access permit from the Public Works Department. Staff will visit the site and provide direction and approval in regard to the driveway width and curb replacement. Resurfacing or rebuilding an existing driveway or adding an adjacent slab to the existing driveway does not require a building permit. Although the adjacent slab must meet setback requirements for the parking of cars, boats or trailers of four feet from the adjacent property line.

To Schedule an Inspection: Pay your building permit fee and receive a building permit number from the Building Inspector. Call 448-2803 ext. 107 to schedule an inspection. Have your building permit number available to provide to staff to schedule your inspection.

Floodplain Information Brown County Planning Department Serves Village as Floodplain Administrator The Village began contracting with Brown County Planning for Floodplain Administration in 2012. Matthew Heyroth, Assistant Zoning Administrator is filling this role for the Village. Is my home in the floodplain? What do I have to do to put an addition on my home in the floodplain? How do I go about getting a LOMA? (Letter of Map Amendment) Do I need flood insurance? These and any other floodplain questions should be directed to Matthew. Village Participates in Community Rating System The Village continues to maintain a CRS Class 6 rating, which provides residents who are required to have flood insurance with a 20% discount on their flood insurance. The Insurance Service Office monitors the CRS program and requires communities to complete specific tasks each year to retain their rating. Staff must provide community outreach and education, provide technical advice and assistance, maintain and provide floodplain documents to residents upon request.

Drainage System Maintenance As simple as it sounds, keeping smaller ditches & streams free of debris can dramatically improve the run-off capacity of low lying areas, as well as greatly reduce the occurrence blockage that significantly contributes to flooding. It is a violation of Village ordinance to dump or throw waste into ditches, gutters, or streams. Do your part by not placing grass clippings, leaves, or branches in gutters or drainage ditches. Village staff regularly check storm sewers and drainage ditches to ensure they are clear & able to handle the runoff. Violators can be issued a citation. Need Help The Village of Allouez will investigate flooding or drainage concerns on private property and work with the homeowner to resolve the problem. Contact the Public Works Department. Floodplain Permit Requirements All development within the 100 year floodplain (not only construction of buildings, but filling, excavation, fences etc.) is required to obtain a building permit. Applications must be made prior to doing any work in a floodplain area.

Impact of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Changes ASFPM Analysis of the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act* The Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act (HFIAA) is the latest NFIP reform that modifies some of the changes made under the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12), which were aimed at putting the NFIP on a more solid financial footing. Unfortunately, one of the predictable outcomes of BW-12 was flood insurance affordability because it did nothing to address this aspect other than calling for a study on the issue. Since passage of BW-12, one provision in particular has garnered a lot of attention – triggering full actuarial rates upon the sale of a subsidized rated pre-FIRM building in a high-risk area (and/or purchase of a new flood insurance policy), resulting in premium increases from 100 percent to more than 1,000 percent higher. ASFPM has heard stories from different areas of the country about how the increases were significantly impacting local real estate markets. Floodplain managers from across the country have also been fielding calls from panicked property owners seeking assistance or options. At the same time, it appeared BW-12 was working. The strong signals that were sent to owners about the true flood risk of properties via more actuarially sound flood insurance rates led to an unprecedented interest in mitigation options, including mitigation undertaken by thousands of affected property owners in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The President signed HFIAA March 21, and 22 of 31 sections focus on insurance changes; six focus on floodplain mapping; and three focus on other provisions. From our analysis, there are two main conclusions that can be drawn from this legislation: • The core of BW-12 is still there. It should be seen as making additional changes to BW-12 and is not in any way a wholesale repeal of the legislation.

www.villageofallouez.com

• It makes only small improvements on the issue of flood insurance affordability notwithstanding the elimination of the immediate full-risk rate trigger upon purchase of a pre-FIRM property or new policy. In some cases, the new act will cost property owners more for their policies than was the case under BW-12. It calls for several studies and even a framework on affordability but doesn’t even authorize a single pilot. Flood insurance affordability will continue to be an issue and ASFPM is disappointed that Congress passed up an opportunity to more broadly address flood insurance affordability through hazard mitigation and other mechanisms. It is difficult to tell HFIAA’s overall impact on NFIP’s financial stability. Some provisions create new or ongoing financial liabilities (such as continued grandfathering of existing policies). However, the surcharge collection, while a blatant and overt new NFIP subsidy, may build up the reserve fund faster. This legislation creates new sets of winners and losers. One thing is clear, one of the largest factors currently affecting the financial stability on the NFIP wasn’t addressed at all -- the $24 billion debt of the NFIP. Presently that debt is financed at a very low interest rate (approximately .5%) resulting in annual interest payments of around $110 million. Should interest rates move back to a more typical long term average of 3% - the interest payment alone would exceed $700 million/year. For a program that only collects $3.351 billion/year in premiums, this cost alone would cause significant impacts. It is important to remember that the reserve fund established under BW-12 is to pay for future catastrophic losses such as the next Katrina or Sandy, not to service the debt the program already has accumulated.

Impact of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Changes (cont.) If the past is a guide, it will take a while to implement this legislation. FEMA has taken several years to implement previous NFIP revisions. Also, any analysis, including this one, will ultimately be superseded by FEMA’s official analysis and implementation. In response to questions about implementation during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on March 26th, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said that the first priority is to immediately implement removal of the trigger to full actuarial rates at the point of sale of a property. The second priority is to process the refunds for properties sold between enactment of Biggert-Waters on July 6, 2012 and enactment of the new legislation on March 21, 2014. The third priority will be development and publication of new premium rates. *Note: This article is taken from an Association of State Floodplain Managers, Inc. article (03/28/2014) National Flood Insurance Program Background In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Since most homeowners’ insurance policies did not cover flood, property owners who experienced a flood often found themselves financially devastated and unable to

rebuild. The NFIP was formed to fill that gap and was designed to incorporate community adoption of minimum standards for new construction and development to minimize future risk of flood damage. Pre-existing homes and businesses, however, could remain as they were. Owners of many of these older properties were eligible to obtain insurance at lower, subsidized rates that did not reflect the property’s true flood risk. In addition, as the initial flood risk identified by the NFIP has been updated, many homes and businesses that had been built in compliance with existing standards have received discounted rates in areas where the risk of flood was revised. This “Grandfathering” approach prevented rate increases for existing properties when the flood risk in their area increased. After 45 years, flood risks continue and the costs and consequences of flooding are increasing dramatically. In 2012, Congress passed legislation to make the NFIP more sustainable and financially sound over the long term. **Note: This article deals specifically with Sections 205 and 207 of the Biggert Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012

Committees, Boards and Commission Historical Preservation Committee Update In 2013 the committee secured a grant for the completion of an Architectural and Historical Intensive Survey Report for the Village of Allouez. The report was completed by Jennifer Lehrke of Legacy Architecture, Inc. The major objective of the project was to identify structures, buildings, complexes and districts of architectural and historical significance that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey identified 783 resources of architectural and historical interest as well as three potential historic districts and two village buildings. In 2014, the committee was successful in securing a grant, and hired a consultant to work on nomination

papers for listing the Community Center, 2143 S. Webster and the Water Works Building at 535 Greene Ave on the National Historic Register. The Architectural and Historical Intensive Survey Report can be viewed on the village website or a hard copy at the Brown County downtown library or the Allouez Village Hall. In the future, the Historical Preservation Committee plans to continue to work on implementation of the recommended elements in the intensive survey report, including working with property owners of individually eligible properties and eligible historic districts to apply for national register listing.

Parks, Recreation and Forestry Dear Allouez Residents: I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Chris Clark, and I have the pleasure and honor to be your Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry. I was hired to replace Mr. Brad Lange who is now your Village Administrator, and I look forward to working with him as well as the rest of the great staff here at the Village. I also look forward to meeting and working with you to continue to make this a great community to not only live in but also welcome those that wish to visit our great parks and trails. A little more about myself; I grew up in Green Bay, graduating from Southwest High School before furthering my education at UW-Stevens Point. While there I received my Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in Urban Forestry and Forestry Management. After working for various landscape and tree service companies following graduation, I started my municipal services career with the City of Appleton Parks Recreation and Forestry Department, working there for six years. Most recently, I have worked as the Superintendent of Parks, Forestry, and Golf for the Village of Howard for the last 11 years, managing the community’s Parks and Urban Forestry Division and municipal golf course. I hold professional certifications from the National Recreation and Parks Association as well as the International Society of Arboriculture. Along with my wife, Sara, we have two wonderful children, William and Addison, as well as our energetic Springer spaniel, Brodee. Sara’s career has afforded her the opportunity to be a nurse leader for St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton, and the kids are just starting their education as a first grader and a pre-kindergartener respectively. As a family, we enjoy sports and outdoor pursuits, especially camping. Once again, I am excited to begin this new chapter in my career and look forward to continuing to make Allouez a great community to live in and visit. In 2015 the Department is planning some great and exciting projects for the community including: •W ebster Ave. to the Fox River Trail Connection - This is a carryover project from 2014 that will connect Webster Ave. to the Fox River Trail along the north side of HWY 172. • Langlade Park – The Tennis courts will be re-color coated. • Open Archery Hunt for Deer and Turkey - The village will continue to explore the possibility of a controlled open bow hunt for deer and turkey within the village limits. Please contact the department if you have an interest or concern regarding the possible open season. We have many great recreational opportunities for you and your family to partake in here at Allouez. Check out the recreation and senior programs that Jenny Hammes, our Recreation Coordinator, has put together in the following pages or on the Recreation page website at www.villageofallouez.com. Don’t forget to visit the many great parks and trails throughout the community. We would also like to thank the various volunteers, service organizations, and community businesses that make our programs successful. Without them, what we do for you could not be possible. Again, I look forward to working here in Allouez and especially with you. Please feel free to contact our office if you have questions, comments, or new ideas regarding parks, recreation, or forestry programs and operations. We can be reached at 448-2804 or you can email me at chrisc@villageofallouez.com. Sincerely, Chris Clark

EAB Treatment Guide EAB Treatment Guide for Brown County Residents Brown County Community Emerald Ash Borer Working Group Vijai Pandian, Horticulture Educator, & Dr. Chris Williamson, UW Extension Entomology Specialist Emerald ash borer (EAB), an exotic beetle from Asia, is threatening ash trees in North America. Since its find in Southeast Michigan in 2002, the killer beetle has destroyed more than 50 million ash trees in the Midwest region and has been detected in 15 states, including 12 counties in Wisconsin. In Brown County, EAB was first detected in Green Bay in June 2009 when a single adult was caught in a trap near WPS headquarters, but the established population was not found until recently when ash trees in the same vicinity showed significant tree decline. This is a major threat to all ash trees in Brown County. Because ash trees account for 20-25% of urban trees in Brown County, this crucial finding of EAB population will change the dynamics of our urban landscape in the next 5 to 10 years. Emerald ash borer is a small metallic green beetle that attacks true ash species only (green, blue, black, and white ash). To ensure proper Emerald ash borer identification of an ash tree, homeowners are encouraged to bring a live sample or photographic specimen of the tree leaves and its branches to the Brown County UW Extension Office. Note that mountain ash (Sorbus spp) and prickly ash (Zanthoxylum americanum) are not true ash and will not be susceptible to EAB. To learn more about the biology, signs, and symptoms of EAB attack, visit www.emeraldashborer.wi.gov What you can do? A) Prevention & Diversification: 1) To limit the spread of EAB, do not move any hardwood firewood, ash nursery stock, unprocessed wood waste from pruning, removal www.villageofallouez.com

of storm damage, ash bark, and wood chip mulch that are more than 1â&#x20AC;? size out of Brown County. 2) Do not plant ash trees in the landscape. Diversify with alternatives to ash and maple. To learn more about ash alternatives, visit www.emeraldashborer.wi.gov B) Treatment Options: Homeowners living in Brown County or within a 15 mile radius from Green Bay can treat their high value ash trees using a systemic insecticide which is up taken by tree roots. However, several factors influence the effectiveness of the insecticide including the cost of the treatment and the pre-existing health condition of the tree. In general: 1) Insecticidal treatments are most effective as a preventive strategy on healthy ash trees that have a full crown and intact bark on its branches and trunk. 2) Ash trees that are already infected with EAB and exhibit less than 50% canopy dieback can still opt for insecticide treatment. Any signs of its recovery can be noticed in the second year after treatment. However, trees that Crown dieback have lost more than 50% canopy may not recover from its decline. Thus, insecticide treatments are not suggested. 3) Most insecticidal products recommended for homeowners need annual application and are applied as a soil drench. The best timing for soil drench application depends on the size of the tree. To determine the amount of insecticide to apply, simply measure the circumference of the tree 19

EAB Treatment Guide (cont.) using a tape at a chest height at 4.5’ above the ground to figure out the size of the tree. Trees less than 47” circumference are best treated in early spring (mid-April to midMay) and larger trees (greater than 47” circumference) are best Soil drenching treated either in fall (September) or spring (mid-April to mid-May). Research findings suggest that spring insecticide treatments are favored over fall, however fall applications are acceptable. 4) The following systemic insecticides containing imidacloprid as the active ingredient are effective as a soil drench in treating ash trees less than 47” circumference: Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Insect Control, Ferti-lome Systemic Tree and Shrub Drench, Optrol, Bonide Tree and Shrub Insect Control, Ortho Max Tree and Shrub Insect Killer, and Gordon’s Tree and Shrub Insect Killer. 5) Be sure to read the product label to determine the rate of application and safety protocols. Before drenching, rake up any mulch, leaf litter, or landscape cloth around the base of the tree trunk to about 18-24” to facilitate a direct contact of the insecticides with the soil. The soil needs to be in moist condition at the time of application. If the soil is very dry, irrigate around the base of the tree few hours prior to insecticide application or if the soil is too wet, allow it to dry out for a few days. Measure

the volume of application needed as directed in the label and slowly pour the solution around the base of the tree trunk. Replace the mulch after the solution is completely absorbed in the soil. Click on the YouTube video link below for a detailed demonstration on soil drench application http://www.hort.uwex.edu/ articles/protecting-your-tree-emerald-ash-borer 6) Trees larger than 47” circumference can still be drenched by the homeowner using Optrol (imidacloprid), or contact professionals for other treatments. You can find the list of certified arborists for hire at http://www.isa-arbor.com/faca/ findArborist.aspx 7) Professionals have access to additional products with unique application techniques. A trunk injection technique with Treeäge (emamectin benzoate), a restricted use product (RUP) available only to certified and licensed applicators, has quicker uptake by the tree (irrespective of soil condition) and is effective for at least 2 years. However, trunk injection can create wounds on the tree and repeated applications can cause potential injury. Other products that can be applied via trunk injection method are IMA-jet (Imidacloprid), Imicide (Imidacloprid), Inject-A-Cide B ( Bidrin), Pointer (Wedgle). Soil injection is another method of treatment by professionals where the products (Merit, Xytect) are applied within 18” of the trunk and placed between 2” to 4” beneath the soil surface. 8) The treatments are typically cost prohibitive in woodlot areas or for large numbers of ash trees in communities.

Parks and Forestry PRUNING STREET TREES-WHY IT’S DONE Trees in the right-of-way are village responsibility and will be trimmed or removed as needed. Please visit our website to see if the forestry department is in your neighborhood. If a tree is on private property extending into the right-of-way and is an obstruction to traffic or pedestrians, the home owner will receive a door tag notice and the forestry department will trim the tree to the property line. Pruning and maintenance of trees on private property is the owner’s responsibility according to the below listed requirements. The following is a list of reasons why trees need to be pruned: 1. Safety - Split, dead, broken, and hanging branches are removed for the safety of all those who may be under a tree (this includes vehicles parked on streets). If there is a serious hazard, tree limbs are removed as soon as they are noticed. 2. Vehicle Clearance - Allouez ordinance requires twelve feet of clearance above curb height. In this day and age of bigger garbage trucks, bigger snowplows, and bigger street sweepers, twelve feet is not high enough. When a truck hits and breaks a branch, because the branch has not been lifted high enough, the damage to the tree is much greater than it would be if the branch had been properly pruned. Low and drooping branches must be removed to allow safe passage, and for the long-term health of the tree. 3. Pedestrian Clearance - Sidewalk users have the right to walk or ride bikes without being hit by branches. While it is not required that the sidewalk side of a tree has to be pruned at the same height as the street side, it is generally desirable to prune the tree so that it looks uniform and balanced (it makes the street more aesthetically pleasing). 4. Traffic Sign Clearance - Signs (stop, yield, school, etc.) cannot overhang a curb, the bottom of all signs must be eight feet off the ground, and they must be visible from a “reasonable” distance. Low and drooping branches must be removed for clear readability of signs. Some trees can add a foot or more of growth in a season. Overhanging branches can be a constant battle for sign visibility if the tree is not pruned back enough the first time. 5. Good Tree Health –The proper removal of rubbing, dead, dying and diseased branches helps to reduce the possibility of a penetration of insects, diseases, and/or decaying organisms. The pruning of narrow crotch angles, with what is called included bark, will help save the tree from future storm damage. This will also help develop a strong central leader. A general thinning and removal of branches growing toward the center of the tree allows air and light to penetrate, creating an environment that is healthier for the tree. This also allows more sunlight to reach the lawn below, for better growth. The removal of suckers or waterspouts from the tree base and trunk is encouraged because they grow and develop at the expense of more desirable tree growth. 6. Street Lighting –The Village of Allouez has the streetlights to promote a safer neighborhood. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which came first, the tree or the light, but when they are too close, the trees are pruned to enhance the effects of the lights. Spring and Fall Tree Planting Every spring and fall, the Parks Department plants trees, ordered by the Village residents, in the Village right-of-way adjacent to but not on the resident’s property. If you are interested in ordering a tree, you may stop by the Village Hall to obtain a listing of species available and their corresponding prices. Spring Tree Order: March 1—April 10, 2015 Fall Tree Order: September 1—October 9, 2015

If tree trimming is performed by a contractor, the contractor must provide disposal of the brush. The Village will not collect brush from contractor’s work. A special collection for Christmas trees will begin the second full week of January for one week. You do not need to call the Village to schedule tree pickup, but place your tree at the curb by Monday of this week. Brush may be taken to the Village Yard Waste Site on Le Brun Road during the regular operating hours. Please see the Yard Waste Site Operation Schedule in this booklet on page 35. SPRING CLEAN UP: Spring leaf and garden waste collection is the first through the third full weeks of April, and leaves and garden waste should be placed at the curb by Monday morning for collection during the week. Shrubs, roots, and garden waste (dead plants, stalks) can be combined and placed on the lawn next to and parallel with the curb. No bulk waste collection is provided in April due to the spring cleanup workload.

FALL LEAF COLLECTION: Fall cleanup of leaves and garden waste begins in mid-October and extends thru the week before Thanksgiving. Leaves should be placed on the lawn next to the curb by Monday morning, but NOT IN THE STREET. The Village crews make a pass thru the Village every 6-7 days. Beginning in late October, the leaf baler will be used for collection. Therefore, it is important that leaves be placed at the curb by Monday morning, since leaf collection varies & does not always follow the garbage collection schedule. Due to the large volume of leaves, baler collection is continuous, especially in November, and leaves may be picked any day of the week. The leaf collection schedule is posted on the Village website and is updated frequently. It is intended to provide a general guide as to when leaf collection will occur in areas of the Village. There is no brush collection during November, so please do not mix brush and leaves together when placing at the curb, as the brush prevents the leaf collection from functioning. LEBRUN YARD WASTE SITE INFORMATION Located on East River Drive and LeBrun Street. For Allouez Residents only. Grass clippings, leaves, brush and other garden waste accepted. There is also a waste oil drop off site. 1/2/15 thru 03/06/15 Mon—Fri : 8am-2:15pm 3/14/15 thru 03/28/15 Saturday : 10am-2pm 3/30/15 thru 10/03/15

CHRISTMAS TREE EXCHANGE: The Village of Allouez will conduct a Christmas tree exchange program where residents can drop off their old Christmas tree at the Le Brun yard waste site in exchange for a coupon for a tree seedling which can be picked up next spring. The tree exchange will be conducted on January 3rd and January 10th from 11am—1pm. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this offer.

Mon & Wed : 7am-noon Tue & Thur: 5pm-8:30pm Friday: CLOSED, Saturday: 8am-3pm 10/05/15 thru 11/07/15 Mon, Wed, & Sat: 9am-5pm 11/14/15 thru 12/12/15 Saturday: 10am-2pm

Bulk Waste and Brush cannot be placed at the curb during non-pickup weeks. VIOLATORS WILL BE GIVEN NOTICE TO REMOVE BULK WASTE AND BRUSH FROM THE CURB, AND IF NOT REMOVED WITHIN 48 HOURS, THE VILLAGE WILL PICK UP AND BILL THE RESIDENT FOR THE COST OF PICKUP AND DISPOSAL AT A MINIMUM COST OF $200.00 www.villageofallouez.com

Allouez | 2015

Department of Public Works Information Allouez will plow streets when snow accumulations reach three inches or more. However, winter weather conditions can vary widely, and snow and ice removal activities are planned as best possible for each winter weather event to minimize risk to residents. Generally, with snow accumulations of less than three inches the Village does not plow streets, but does apply salt at intersections and on streets with steep grades. Salt is applied to full streets if an ice storm or icing conditions occur. The Village is reducing road salt usage to minimize the impact of salt on the environment. Residents are reminded that snow and ice must be removed from their sidewalks within 48 hours after a winter storm in accordance with Section 3.21 of the Municipal Code and if ice remains on the sidewalk, it must be sanded. This applies to all sidewalks, as the Village will do only limited sidewalk snow plowing. The Village will provide single pass sidewalk snow plowing (when greater than three (3) inches snowfall) on Allouez Avenue, Webster Avenue, and Riverside Drive, and residents must maintain their sidewalk clear of snow and ice thereafter. If less than a three (3) inch snowfall, residents must shovel their sidewalk and the village will not plow. For snow storms greater than six (6) inches, the village will plow all main sidewalk routes and residents must shovel there after. Residents with snow and/or ice remaining on their sidewalk 48 hours after a snowstorm will receive a written notice to clear. If not cleared, the Village will and a sidewalk clearing charge will be invoiced to the resident.

FERTILIZER PHOSPHORUS BAN IN WISCONSIN Excess phosphorus in Wisconsin’s waterways has led to increased phytoplankton growth, more commonly known as algae blooms. These blooms are the easily recognizable green, thick and foulsmelling slicks on top of the waterways. These algae blooms grow quickly, then die and decay, leeching large amounts of oxygen out of the water, killing many fish in the process. Extremely high levels of phosphorus can produce colonial cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae. Bluegreen algae can release extremely deadly liver and nerve toxins that, even in small doses, can injure or kill humans and animals. Therefore, in April 2009, Governor Jim Doyle signed the Wisconsin Zero-Phosphorus Fertilizer Law (Wisconsin Statute 94.643). This law, which took effect as of April 1 2012, restricts the use, sale and display of lawn and turf fertilizer which contains phosphorus or available phosphate. Use of this type of fertilizer is prohibited on lawns and turf in Wisconsin, except under certain exemptions. The Phosphorus Fertilizer Ban affects homeowners, renters, and others who do lawn care, along with lawn care professionals, municipalities and local governments, and retailers who sell fertilizer in the state. Use of fertilizer containing phosphorus or available phosphate for non-turf use is permissible. Such fertilizer may be used for agricultural production or home garden use. The specifics of the law can be found on the Village of Allouez and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources websites.

SNOW PLOWING:

Department of Public Works Information STORMWATER RUNOFF Water from rainfall or melting snow that does not soak into the ground is called runoff. Stormwater runoff will flow into waterways and storm sewers, which will eventually discharge into surface waters like the East and Fox Rivers. Ideally, this is an adequate solution, but pollutants will be picked up as the runoff flows into the waterways or storm drains. These pollutants include fertilizers, pesticides, solvents, road salt, motor oils, detergents, pet wastes, and other toxic and hazardous wastes. This runoff is the primary cause of pollution and impaired water quality in the waterways in the United States. It can lead to plant and animal kills in water ways, polluted drinking water and aquifers, along with many other public health issues. Other means have been implemented to help clean up runoff, such as banning phosphorus in fertilizers, installing wet detention ponds, among other solutions.

RAIN GARDENS Rain gardens are another solution for runoff in the village. Rain gardens are specialized gardens that capture water, allowing it to slowly filter into the ground instead of running into storm drains or waterways. A rain garden is typically a sunken garden, four to six inches deep, with a flat bottom. It can contain wild or cultivated vegetation planted specifically to aid the slow filtering of storm water into the ground. It is typically placed near a downspout for ideal water collection from storms and snow melt. Additional information on rain gardens and rain barrels can be found on the Village and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources websites.

Simple solutions that many municipalities have promoted have been the installation of rain barrels on household and small business gutter systems as well as rain gardens in yards. RAIN BARRELS A simple rain barrel is typically a 55-gallon plastic barrel with an adapter in the lid for the downspout from the gutter system, a spigot installed in the lower portion of the unit, as well as an overflow valve which can flow into another barrel or rain garden. It sits under a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downspout, and collects water from rainstorms or snow melt. This water is stored in the barrels instead of going straight into waterways or storm drains in the village. The water then can be substituted for municipal water for watering gardens and lawns. More complex systems have filters for leaves and debris, preventative measures for mosquitoes, and multiple barrels for larger storage capacity.

Allouez | 2015

Department of Public Works Information Storm Water Management The Village of Allouez Storm Water Utility was established in 2004 to plan, operate, and maintain storm water treatment in the Village. Storm water management is required by Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 811, which requires that certain milestones are complied with to reduce the environmental impact of storm water discharges to the Fox and East Rivers. Further information on the storm water program, including the new storm water ordinances, is available on the Village of Allouez website under “Storm Water Management”. Allouez residents can help meet the storm water management goals of the Village by doing the following: • Minimize leaves getting into the storm sewer system by keeping them out of the street. Mulch leaves by using a mulching lawn mower, and compost leaves and reuse on your lawn. • Use a rain barrel to collect roof downspout rain water, and use this water for your lawn and garden. • Install a rain garden to collect roof downspout rain water and reduce the peak storm flow to the storm sewer system. • Wash your car on the lawn rather than in your driveway. This will reduce the flow of detergent into the storm sewer. • Clean up pet waste on your property and properly dispose of it. Guidelines for residents to assist in storm water management and further information are provided on the Village website. The Village of Allouez has implemented an Illicit Discharge Monitoring & Control program as required by the Village Storm Water Discharge Permit issued by the Department of Natural Resources. This program is intended to monitor the storm water discharge outfalls within the Village and search for discharges that should not be going to the storm sewer system. Residents are encouraged to report to the Village any suspicious discharges.

Water Utility Department All Allouez residents and businesses receive treated Lake Michigan water from the Central Brown County Water Authority, of which Allouez is a charter member. Please refer to the Village of Allouez website for further information on the Central Brown County Water Authority, as well as the website for the Central Brown County Water Authority www.cbcwaterauthority.com. The treated Lake Michigan water is lower hardness than the previous well water and has no iron & other contaminants. The Lake Michigan water is treated by micro-filtration & chlorination before arriving at Allouez.

WATER CONSERVATION As a member of the Central Brown County Water Authority, the Village of Allouez encourages and has committed to increased water conservation. The Great Lakes Water Conservation Compact, recently signed by the State of Wisconsin, also encourages water conservation. WATER CONSERVATION RATE The Allouez Water Utility requested a water conservation rate structure from the Public Service Commission, which was approved on October 22, 2008. The water conservation rate structure, using an inclining block residential water rate, is intended to manage residential water demand and reduce peak water usage associated with summertime lawn watering. For residential water users, the average customer (up to 4,500 gallons per month) will get only a slight increase over the previous water rate. Customers using 2,000 gallons per month or less will get a decrease in their water bill. Customers using more than 10,000 gallons per month in the summer including lawn watering will get an increase in their bill. Your monthly water bill lists the water rates. When reading your water bill, remember that the water charge, the sewer charge, and the storm water charge are all included on the monthly bill. The codes on the bill explain the charges. The monthly water bill includes a fixed monthly charge, which covers billing costs and utility debt retirement, and the variable charge is for the actual water used.

WATER CONSERVING METHODS Customers are encouraged to conserve water through use of water-conserving plumbing fixtures such as low water use toilets & shower heads. Information on water conserving appliances are available at www.epa.gov/watersense, or contact your local plumbing supplier. Look for the WaterSense label on plumbing products as these are products confirmed to be low water use products. Lawn watering is probably the greatest opportunity for water conservation. Lawn watering systems should include a moisture sensor to override the watering system operation when rainfall occurs and adequate water is already available. Residents are also reminded that the Village Lawn Watering Ordinance is in effect in Allouez from June 15th to September 15th. Lawns may not be watered except from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. with even number addressed properties watering on even calendar days and odd numbered properties watered on odd numbered days.

Water Utility Department WATER BILL PAYMENT An outside drop off box for water bill payments is located along the north driveway to the Village Hall. A bill drop off is located inside the Village Hall. Residents may also sign up for the EZ Pay Automatic Payment Plan included in this booklet on page 48.

HOME SALES The Village of Allouez requires compliance with the local plumbing codes at time of sale. Code section 15.19 requires the sump pump drain be connected to the storm sewer system if available. To protect against back water contaminating a home, code section 15.16 requires installation of a back water valve for a below grade toilet. Most other drains may be individually protected by check valves. Plumbing permit forms are available at the Village Hall, 1900 Libal Street. To schedule a “Clear Water Inspection” appointment or obtain a statement of compliance, please contact the Water Department at 448-2808.

CROSS CONNECTION INSPECTIONS: The Allouez Water Utility is required under Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 811.09(1)© to inspect every residential water service a minimum of once every 20 years, & every commercial business water service every two (2) years to eliminate possible cross connections of potential contamination sources to the water supply system. Inspections must include all points of access to the water system within a building, not just an inspection of the water meter. These include outside threaded faucets that can be connected to garden hoses, laundry wash tub faucets, inside basement threaded water faucets, bath tub faucets, and flexible shower faucets such as in a shower stall. All potential cross connection points must be properly installed & must have a hose bib backflow preventer in a threaded faucet. Residential household inspections will be conducted by HydroDesigns, when a home is sold, if a water meter battery is changed or meter service is required. An inspection may take 30 minutes to complete, and a written copy of the inspection will be provided. If one or more hose bibb backflow preventers are needed, the Water Utility will have these available for installation at the time of inspection. This may eliminate the need for a follow up compliance inspection. The first inspection will be conducted at no charge to the resident, but if a followup inspection is required there may be a charge. The residential cross connection program will be done in a targeted area of the Village each year. A letter will be mailed to residents to set up the inspections when this occurs. The residential and commercial inspections are performed by HydroDesigns as an agent of the Allouez Water Utility. Further info on the cross connection program is available on the Village of Allouez web site under “Water Utility”.

What is a Cross Connection? A cross connection is an actual or potential connection between the safe drinking water (potable) supply and a source of contamination or pollution. State plumbing codes require approved backflow prevention methods to be installed at every point of potable water connection in use. Cross connections must be properly protected or eliminated. How does contamination occur? When you turn on your faucet, you expect the water to be as safe as when it left the treatment plant. However, certain hydraulic conditions left unprotected within your plumbing system may allow hazardous substances to contaminate your own drinking water or even the public water supply. Water normally flows in one direction. However, under certain  backflow. There are two situations that can cause water to flow backward: back siphonage and back pressure. Back Siphonage Back siphonage may occur due to a loss of pressure in the municipal water system during a fire fighting emergency, a water main break or system repair. This creates a siphon in your plumbing system which can draw water out of sink or bucket and back into your water or the public water system. Back Pressure Back pressure may be created when a source of pressure (such as a boiler) created a pressure greater than the pressure supplied from the public water system. This may cause contaminated water to be pushed into your plumbing system through an unprotected cross connection.

INSIGHTS TO PROTECT YOUR DRINKING WATER DO... • • • •

Keep the ends of hoses clean of all possible contaminants. Make sure dishwashers are installed with a proper “air gap” device. Verify and install a simple hose bibb vacuum breaker on all threaded faucets around your home. Make sure water treatment devices such as water softeners have the proper “air gap”, which is a minimum of once inch above any drain.

DON’T…. • • •

Submerge hoses in buckets, pools, tubs, sinks or ponds. Use spray attachments without a backflow prevention device. Connect waste pipes from water softeners or other treatment systems directly to the sewer or submerged drain pipe. Always be sure there is one inch “air gap” separation.

Water Utility Department The Village of Allouez Water Utility began implementing a water replacement project in 2014. The Wisconsin Public Service Commission (PSC), which governs the operation of municipal water utilities in Wisconsin, requires that residential and commercial water meters be replaced after 20 years of operation. The Allouez water meters are at or near a 20 year service life and as a result the Allouez Water Department is beginning a water meter replacement project. The water meter replacement project will require four (4) years to replace all of the approximate 6,000 meters in the Village. The Water Utility will send a letter to residents within an area of the Village and then go door-to-door to change out the old meters for the new. Residents that might not be home at the time will be provided a phone number to call to schedule an appointment for new meter installation. The work will be done in area blocks as this is the most efficient way to replace the meters. There will be some evening and weekend calls and appointments. The Water Utility staff performing the installations will be identified by badge and photo. Residents are asked to make sure that their water shutoff valves located on both sides of the meter are operating properly, and if not the customer

is responsible for retaining a plumber to fix or replace these valves so that they function properly and the new meter can be installed. The new residential and commercial water meters will incorporate several features important to both the Water Utility and water customers. The new water meters are very accurate which should assist in detecting water leaks in household water systems. The new water meters will be read from a central radio antenna located on the Allouez water standpipe on Webster Avenue. When all the water meters are installed the utility will no longer drive thru the village to read meters thus saving operator time. The central meter reading system will enable reading a water meter from the water utility office at time of household sale also saving time. The new water meter reading system will greatly improve detection of home water losses as soon as possible. Residents will be notified when a leak is suspected. Further information will be posted on the village website as this project proceeds. Please feel free to contact the Allouez Water Utility should questions arise.
