City of Muskego Police Shooting Range Berm Reconstruction
Bid Cost Summary
In the late 1990’s the City of Muskego Police Department initiated construction of a
Pistol and Rifle Range on property leased from the Emerald Park Landfill. Construction of the
perimeter soil berms consisted of the placement of excess clay from the liner excavation hauled
by the City’s contractor from the landfill. Compaction was limited to vehicle traffic rather than
a sheepsfoot type soil compactor and no ef fort was made to dry the soils to improve the
effectiveness of the compactive effort. Insitu moisture contents in the clay soils from the liner
excavation typically exceeds optimum moisture content by as much as 10%. Shortly upon
completion of the construction of these soil berms localize veneer failures have been observed
to have occurred throughout the southern portion of the western soil berm primarily due to the
lack of compactive effort as well as the failure to remove excess moisture within the soils
during placement. More significant failures have occurred within the northern portion of this
western soil berm. Surface water runoff has exasperated the condition throughout the entire
berm. The most severe condition, and of immediate concern, is the northern portion of this
berm which is located at the back of the rifle range. It appears that this failure is more global
than the veneer failures observed in the southern two sections of the berm.
This western berm is essentially broken down into three sections, the pistol range, the
middle range, and the rifle range. Please provide a cost estimates for the following 5 options to
undertake the proposed reconstruction work.
The Pistol Range
Option 1 – Repair affected areas of berm
Remove perimeter fencing from atop the soil berm.
Strip off vegetation and topsoil from the affected areas of the berm
Haul in additional in clay soils from Emerald Park Landfill to re-shape inside of
berm.
Utilize a soil compactor to compact the clay soils. We propose to use the lower
moisture content clay soil (brown) to supplement the clay soils.
Cover repaired area with the stripped topsoil to a thickness of approximately 6
inches and re-seed
Replace fencing at the top of the berm
Pistol Range Option 1:
Original Estimated Cost: $8,000
Actual Bid Cost: $12,420.00
Option 2 – Reconstruct and compact entire berm
Remove Perimeter fencing
Strip off vegetation and topsoil
Remove and stockpile clay soils for re-use (about 8500 cubic yards)
Reconstruct complete berm with stockpiled soils. Supplement with clay soils
from Emerald Park Landfill liner excavation as needed.
Properly compact new clay soils with an 815 compactor or equivalent
Place 6 inches of topsoil over berm and re-seed
Replace fencing at the top of the berm
Pistol Range Option 2:
Original Estimated Cost: $75,000.00
Actual Bid Cost: $46,000.00
The Middle Range
Option 1 – Repair affected areas of berm (Recommended)
Remove perimeter fencing from atop the soil berm.
Strip off vegetation and topsoil from the affected areas of the berm
Haul in additional in clay soils from Emerald Park Landfill to re -shape inside of
berm.
Utilize a soil compactor to the compact the clay soils. We propose to use the
lower moisture content clay soil (brown) to supplement the clay soils.
Cover repaired area with the stripped topsoil to a thickness of approximately 6
inches and re-seed
Replace fencing at the top of the berm
Middle Range Option 1:
Original Estimated Cost: $12,000
Actual Bid Cost: $12,600
Option 2 – Reconstruct and compact entire berm
Remove Perimeter fencing
Strip off vegetation and topsoil
Remove and stockpile clay soils for re-use (about 8500 cubic yards)
Reconstruct complete berm with stockpiled soils. Supplement with clay soils
from Emerald Park Landfill liner excavation as needed.
Properly compact new clay soils with an 815 compactor or equivalent
Place 6 inches of topsoil over berm and re-seed
Replace fencing at the top of the berm
Middle Range Option 2:
Original Estimated Cost: $75,000
Actual Bid Cost: $48,000
The Rifle Range
Based on visual observations the soil berm at the back of the rifle range has experienced
the most damage with regard to sloughing and erosion. Soil displacement is evident on both
sides of the berm and appears to be of a more global nature. It is our opinion that this section
of the berm requires major reconstruction.
Option 1 - Reconstruct and compact entire berm
Remove perimeter fencing
Strip off vegetation and topsoil
Remove and stockpile clay soils for re-use (about 5000 cubic yards)
Reconstruct complete berm with stockpiled soils. Supplement with clay soils
from Emerald Park Landfill liner excavation as needed.
Properly compact new clay soils with an 815 compactor or equivalent.
Place 6 inches of topsoil over berm and re-seed
Replace fencing at the top of the berm
Rifle Range:
Original Estimated Cost: $50,000
Actual Bid Cost: $30,000

Notice of Newly Enacted Ordinance Published:
CITY OF MUSKEGO
Staff Report to Common Council Standing Committee
To: Finance Committee Presenter(s): Finance & Administration Director
From: Finance & Administration Department
Subject: Topic for Presentation/Report to Committee: Polling Place – District #1
Date: August 13th, 2013
Background Information: The current polling place for District Station #1 is located at
the Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Dept. Station #1, W144 S6731 Tess Corners Drive. This
building had been a suitable location for many years. However, following the mandated
redistricting, registered voters in District #1 increased by approximately 25% or 500
voters. This number has grown to 2,710 registered voters in District 1. During the 2012
Recall and Presidential Elections, it became apparent this location was no longer
appropriate due to the building’s capacity limit and lack of parking during certain periods
of the day. Additionally, the polling place is subject to interruption should there be a fire
emergency.
Key Points and/or Information for Discussion:
1. In 2008, an ordinance was authorized to change the polling location of District #3
from Muskego Volunteer Fire Department Station # 1 to Atonement Lutheran Church.
This has proved to be very successful.
2. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, located at S66 W14325 Janesville Road, appeared to be
an ideal location for the District #1 polling place due to parking availability with
approximately 200 stalls, gymnasium size capacity of 300 and building being ADA
compliant.
3. On June 13th, 2013, staff and I met with the Community Outreach Coordinator at St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church to discuss the possibility of conducting future elections at their
facility. Soon after, the Coordinator informed us that St. Paul’s would be extremely
interested in this endeavor to work with the City and have already supplied us with a
certificate of insurance.
4. It is required that polling place parking lots be clear of ice or snow on Election Day.
If needed, the City may need to assist, which is the case for all other polling places and
has not been an issue for past elections.
5. This proposal requires an Ordinance amendment (1st and 2nd readings) and notification
to residents, if authorized.
Recommendation for Action by Committee: I am requesting the Finance Committee
recommend approval to the Common Council that the polling location of District #1 be
changed from TC VDF Station #1 to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, effective with the 2014
elections.
Is Common Council action required? Yes
Fiscal Note(s):
Total Approximate $ Requested: $600.00
Amount of Total Requested Budgeted: $600.00

CITY OF MUSKEGO
Staff Report to Common Council Standing Committee
To: Finance Committee Presenter(s): Finance & Administration Director
From: Finance & Administration Department
Subject: Topic for Presentation/Report to Committee: Polling Place – District #5
Date: August 13th, 2013
Background Information: The current polling place for District #5 is located at the
Mill Valley Elementary School, W191 S6445 Hillendale Drive, and has approximately
2,420 registered voters. Following the 2012 elections, School Superintendent Thompson
contacted me about safety concerns regarding use of School as a polling place as well as
parking issues. Research followed to seek out alternative facilities to conduct the 2014
elections.
Key Points and/or Information for Discussion:
1. As noted in the previous memo (Polling Place #1), Atonement Lutheran Church has
proved to be an ideal location for over five years due to parking and facility capacity.
2. With Fox River Christian Church construction underway, the facility looked as if it
could be a potential location for the District #5 polling place. Building construction is
anticipated to be complete by October, 2013, and will have 150 parking stalls, auditorium
capacity of 300 and will be ADA compliant.
3. On June 20th, 2013, staff and I met with the Representative from Fox River church,
which is located at S67 W19491 Tans Drive, to discuss the possibility of conducting
future elections at their facility. The Representative was very pleased the City reached
out to them as a future polling place location and also having an opportunity to be more
involved in the community. We received official notice of agreement on July 12th, 2013.
4. It is required that polling place parking lots be clear of ice or snow on Election Day.
If needed, the City may need to assist, which is the case for all other polling places and
has not been an issue for past elections.
5. This proposal requires an Ordinance amendment (1st and 2nd readings) and notification
to residents, if authorized.
Recommendation for Action by Committee: I am requesting the Finance Committee
recommend approval to the Common Council that the polling location of District #5 be

with the 2014 elections.

2
Section 1.2 - General Policy
The City of Muskego is a municipality with a population in excess of 24,000 people and
is comprised of over 100 employees, a volunteer fire department, 3 lakes, miles of rolling
countryside and a growing business community. This Employee Handbook collects in
one place the human resources philosophies, policies and procedures; it is designed to be
a working guide in the day-to-day administration of our human resource programs in a
way that supports a positive work environment. All employees are expected to become
familiar with these philosophies, policies and procedures and to apply them consistently
so that all employees, regardless of work area, location or shift assignment, are treated
fairly. If not specifically enumerated herein, the City will adhere to all Federal & State
regulations and as amended from time to time.
The policies within this Handbook have been approved by the Muskego Common
Council and serve as rules and guidelines for all City employees. However, it should be
noted that the City Police and Library Departments may have additional Rules and
Regulations for their employees. The City recognizes the Library Board is a separate
entity and may choose to modify any provisions within this Handbook.
None of the statements, policies, procedures, benefits, rules, and regulations contained in
this Handbook constitutes a guarantee of employment, a guarantee of any other rights or
benefits, or a contract of employment, expressed or implied. The City reserves the right
to revise, supplement, or rescind any policies or portion of the Handbook from time to
time as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion at any time, with or
without notice. When possible, employees will be notified in advance of any changes.
Any insignificant updates or those required by law will be implemented administratively.
The provisions of this Handbook shall apply to all employees, to the extent they do not
conflict with a collective bargaining agreement, an employment agreement, or an
employment resolution. In the event of a conflict, the collective bargaining agreement,
employment agreement, or employment resolution shall prevail.
3
Section 1.3 - Role of Management
All Wisconsin employers, including municipalities, are given broad authority to manage their
operations and functions. These rights include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
1. Prescribing and administering rules and regulations essential to
accomplishing the services desired by the City Mayor, City Management Team,
and the City Council;
2. Managing and otherwise supervising all employees;
3. Hiring, promoting, transferring, assigning and retaining employees;
4. Taking disciplinary action such as suspension, demotion, termination or
any other disciplinary action deemed appropriate by the City;
5. Relieving employees of duties because of lack of work or for other legitimate
reasons;
6. Maintaining the efficiency and economy of operations entrusted to
the City administration;
7. Determining the methods, means and personnel by which such operations
are to be conducted; and
8. Establishing the kinds and amounts of services to be performed and the
employees to perform those services.
The above rights may be limited by the laws of the State of Wisconsin and the United States of
America. Many of these laws are referenced in other portions of this Handbook.
CHAIN OF COMMAND: Operation of any government agency depends on an effective chain of
command and the City of Muskego is no exception.
City Council: The ultimate decision concerning policy in the City of Muskego resides by law with
the City Council (elected officials-two year term).
4
Mayor: The Mayor is an elected official who serves as the chief executive officer of the City. As
head of the City Administration, the Mayor is authorized to exercise all of the executive and general
administrative powers.
Department Directors: The Directors of the designated Departments of the City are part of the
senior management team of the City and report to the Mayor and/or appropriate Board.
Supervisors: Supervisors subordinate to the Department Directors are also members of the
management team.
The Management Team concept is the process by which a recommendation for any action,
program, service, etc. is developed and the decision implemented. This system represents a means of
establishing orderly lines of organization and communication as management personnel unite with
the employees of the City to promote and deliver effective services to the community.
The City Mayor is responsible for the development, supervision, and the operation of the City and
its personnel and facilities. Employees have an obligation to assist the City Mayor in providing
professional advice to the City Council through the chain of command. The City Mayor is given the
latitude to determine the best method of implementing the policy decisions of City Council.
All employees and supervisors shall be responsible to the City Council through the City Mayor or
appropriate Board. Each shall refer matters requiring administrative attention to his/her supervisor,
who shall refer such matters to the next higher authority, when necessary, and through the City
Mayor to the City Council.
Each employee is to keep the person he/she reports to informed of his/her activities by whatever
means the supervisor deems appropriate. If an employee has any questions, opinions or suggestions
about the information contained in this Handbook or about any other aspect of his/her job, then those
questions, opinions or suggestions should be directed through the chain of command.
The City recognizes that many employees handle directives or requests from the Public on a daily
basis as part of their positions. The City expects that employees will use sound judgment and
common sense to determine which directives or requests are inappropriate and should be reported to
a supervisor. If an employee is unsure of whether a directive or request should be reported, the
employee should discuss it with his/her supervisor. Any employee who receives inappropriate
directives or requests for special treatment from an individual citizen, business representative or
elected or appointed official must immediately report such directive or request to his/her
supervisor. No specific directives or requests covered by this policy should be fulfilled unless
permission to do so is given by the employee’s supervisor.

Section 2.1 - Equal Employment Opportunity
The City of Muskego is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all employees. It
is the City’s policy to seek and employ the best qualified personnel in all positions, to
provide equal opportunity for advancement to all employees, including upgrading,
promotion and training, and to administer these activities in a manner which will not
discriminate against or give preference to any person because of race, color, religion, age,
sex, national origin, disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, military service, marital
status, arrest or conviction record, or any other discriminatory basis prohibited by state or
federal law. All employees are required to have a proof of identity and authorization to
work.
The City is further committed to providing a work environment in which employees are
treated with courtesy, respect and dignity. The City will not tolerate any form of
harassment, verbal or physical, with regard to an individual’s race, sex, national origin or
any other protected characteristics. All employees must bring any concerns to the
attention of the City as set forth in the City’s anti-harassment and grievance policies.
All complaints of harassment will be investigated promptly and, where necessary, immediate
and appropriate action will be taken to stop and remedy any such conduct. Any employee
found in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, including discharge.
The City provides reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with disabilities in
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the WFEA. Employees requiring
reasonable accommodations should discuss potential accommodations with the Finance &
Administration Department. It is the employee’s responsibility to notify the City of the need
for a reasonable accommodation and to provide medical documentation upon request.
7
Section 2.2 - At-Will Employment
City employees are at-will and, accordingly, are free to resign at any time without reason. The
City also retains the right to terminate an employee’s employment at any time with or without
reason or notice, as long as it is not an illegal reason. Nothing contained in any City policy,
handbook, rule, document, communication or practice is intended to be, create, imply or
guarantee that employment or any City benefit will be provided for any period of time. The
expectation of certain benefits now and in the future does not change the fundamental
employment-at-will relationship.
Compensation figures provided in annual or monthly terms to employees are stated as such for
convenience or to aid in salary comparison, and are not intended to create an employment
contract for a specific period of time.
8
Section 2.3 – Recruitment and Selection/Hiring/Nepotism
Purpose
The City of Muskego recognizes that hiring the best, most qualified person for a city position is a
very important task and that city employees are its most valuable resource.
This policy sets forth the guidelines to be utilized by department heads throughout the hiring or
“selection” process of full-time and part-time personnel. All applicants must be given an equal
opportunity for employment. All qualified candidates for City positions must be treated in the
same manner and given the same consideration without regard to their traits that are protected by
law.
Policy
It is the City‟s policy that department heads hire departmental staff, from the beginning of the
process thru offer of employment. Once the offer of employment has been accepted, the Finance
& Administration staff will assist the hired employee in completing the necessary hiring
documents.
The hiring of Department Heads is governed by the Muskego Municipal Code except for the
Police Chief and Library Director, whose appointments are made by their respective Board or
Commission pursuant to State Law. Where applicable, this policy should be followed in the
Department Head hiring process.
The following components form the essential foundation of the City‟s hiring practices. The entire
process should be well documented. The Finance & Administration Department will create an
organized file of the hiring process documents for full-time and part-time employees. The Finance
& Administration staff, along with newly hired employees, will complete the necessary hiring
documents, which will be processed and filed in the employee‟s personnel folder. Seasonal and
Temporary employee files will be kept within each department, with copies of necessary payroll
files being forwarded to the Finance & Administration Department.
Every hiring folder shall contain the following: job description, recruitment ads or notices,
applications, applicable tests, all staff names involved in the hiring process, the criteria used for
screening applications (if other than job description), interview questions, interview rating sheets,
responses to reference questions, and an outline/timeline of the process.
Employment applications will only be accepted for current position openings.
9
Selection Process
1. Job Description
The job description is the foundation for each hiring process and accurately details the
essential duties, behavioral competencies, training, and education necessary to perform
the job. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recognizes that a written job
description is considered evidence of the essential functions of the job in ADA cases.
Job descriptions should be reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Mayor and Department
Head, and/or appropriate Board may approve any non-substantial changes and the
Finance Committee will approve any substantial changes made to the job description.
Substantial changes to a job description are items that would result in additional
compensation for the position or change the essential duties and responsibilities.
Changed job descriptions should be forwarded to the Finance & Administration staff
for proper filing. Before posting or recruiting for hire, job descriptions should be
updated for current positions or created for new positions.
2. Licensing/Certification Requirements
Any licensing and/or certification requirements for the position should be included in
the job description and position posting. Licenses, degrees, and/or certifications of
newly hired employees should be copied and kept in employee‟s personnel file. Proof
of continued compliance should also be documented.
3. Refilling of Vacant Position
It is the policy of the City of Muskego that the Common Council review and approve
the filling of any full-time and permanent part-time positions. The steps to follow are
outlined below:
a. Department Heads shall notify the Mayor and Finance & Administration
Director in writing of any open position.
b. The Mayor shall advise the Aldermen of the open position and the reason for
the vacancy in writing.
c. The Aldermen shall advise the Mayor immediately if they wish to review the
refilling of the position.
d. If the Mayor or Aldermen request review, the matter shall be referred to the
Finance Committee for review and recommendation to the Common Council.
e. If the Department Head has received no notification of request for review of the
position within five (5) working days of submittal of the resignation notice to

staff. Inquiries may be made during the interview about an applicant‟s ability to
perform marginal and essential duties and job related functions. If information is
volunteered from the applicant that is not job-related, interviewers should not ask
follow-up questions. Direct inquiries regarding an applicant‟s disabilities are
prohibited until a conditional job offer is made. It is recommended that a rating grid or
scoring system of the candidates interviewed be used to assist in the decision making
process. The Department Head should retain notes and scoring system forms of the

Section 2.4 – Orientation Period
The first year of employment is considered to be a trial period for new employees.
During this time the employee’s supervisor will be responsible for on-the-job training,
orientation and employee performance. The employee is encouraged and expected to ask
any questions concerning the job and its responsibilities. This is a time for the employee
to determine if he/she is satisfied with the position.
If the employee’s job performance is found to be unsatisfactory at any time during the
trial period, employment may be terminated.
New employees will receive a confidential performance evaluation from their supervisor
at the end of the trial period.

14
Section 2.5 - Reference and Background Checks
The position an individual applies for and the information he/she gives during the interview
process will determine what contingencies may apply to an offer of employment.
Reference Checks
All employees applying for any position with the City will be subject to reference checks with
former employers and/or managers. Unless required by law, reference checks will not be shared
with the potential employee. A sample Reference Check Form, which includes a list of standard
‘neutral’ questions is an addendum to this policy (see Article 10, Section 4).
Driving Records
A review of driving records is required for all positions that involve operation of a motor vehicle.
Prior to an offer of employment or promotion to a position that requires driving, the City may
review the records against a specific set of screening criteria to evaluate whether the record is
acceptable, questionable or unacceptable. In addition, the screening may also take into account
how much experience is needed, and what types of vehicles and/or equipment the candidate used
in the past.
Condition of Employment
It is a condition of employment for City employees who operate motor vehicles or equipment to
have an acceptable driving record. Based on the City Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) review, a
candidate will not be considered for employment if any of the following have occurred during
the last three year period:
a. Conviction of a felony which has nexus to the job position.
b. Cancellation, declination or non-renewal of vehicle insurance.
c. Suspension or revocation of driver’s license.
Criminal Background Checks
A criminal background check may be conducted for select positions, due to the sensitive nature
or type of work performed. Applicants are required to respond to questions regarding
convictions and pending criminal charges, if applicable, on the City’s application form.
Credit Checks
City positions that have responsibility for initiating or affecting financial transactions may be
required to submit to a credit check. The candidate will be required to consent to a credit report
under the terms of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. A candidate’s refusal to consent to this credit
check will be deemed a rejection of the offer of employment.
15
Record Keeping
Information attained as part of the reference and background checks process will be used as part
of the employment process and will be confidential to the extent permitted by the law and will be
shared with management individuals on a need-to-know basis.
The Finance & Administration Department will store and maintain the information obtained as
part of the reference and background check process. Any employee who has authority to
conduct a reference or background check under this policy should forward all pertinent
documentation to the Finance & Administration Department personnel.
All inquiries regarding a current or former City employee must be referred to the Finance &
Administrative Director, including telephone and written requests. Information provided over
the telephone will be limited to verification of employment dates, position title and salary.
Reference letters are prohibited from being issued on any current or former City employee,
without prior permission from the Finance & Administration Director.
With exception to students, seasonal and temporary employees, no other data or information
regarding any current or former City employee, or their employment with the City, will be
furnished unless the employee authorizes the City to furnish this information in writing that also
releases the City from liability in connection with the furnishing of this information or the City is
required by law to furnish information.
16
Section 2.6 - Classification of Positions
The City classifies all positions based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the
degree of responsibility, level or training required, complexity of relationship, supervisory
responsibility and necessity for exercising independent judgment. A job description exists for
each position and sets forth duties, responsibilities and authority of that position and will be
classed as follows:
Regular Full-Time: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work 40 or more
hours per week is considered full-time and is eligible for those benefits
described in this handbook.
Regular Part-Time: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work 19 to 39
hours per week is considered regular part-time.
Limited Part-Time: An employee who is regularly scheduled to work 18 hours or
less per week is considered limited part-time and is not eligible for City
leave time or insurance benefits.
Temporary or Seasonal: An employee who is hired on a temporary basis to
perform a specific job and is not eligible for City benefits.
Students/Interns: All students are considered part-time employees regardless of
the number of hours worked and are ineligible for City benefits.
17
Section 2.7 – Employee Merit Pay/Incentive Program
Introduction
Recognizing that employee development and performance is integral to the effective
management of any organization, the City of Muskego adopted a Pay for Performance Program
for all Non-Represented Employees in December of 1999, with the most recent amendment
adopted in January of 2011. Employees such as, but not limited to, clerical, secretarial, highway
patrolman and utility maintenance will be compensated under a separate program which will be
determined by the Mayor and appropriate Department Head.
The program provides the City of Muskego with information for its personnel administration
functions such as salary increases, promotions, individual training development and motivation,
employee selection and placement, and manpower and organization planning.
The Employee Merit Pay/Incentive Program is a key management tool. It is impossible to make
any decisions about your employees without measuring their performance in some manner. A
systematic evaluation program should improve communications between the manager and the
employees, maintain and improve a specified level of productivity, and identify training needs
and potential talent within the organization. Other important reasons include:
(1) To know how well the organization is managed; and
(2) To know how well its employees are performing their jobs.
Finitely establishing this information helps insure fair and equitable compensation rewards are
linked to individual and personal accomplishment.
The Employee Merit Pay/Incentive Program is a results oriented process that is wholly based on
each position's unique job content. Performance is measured by criteria that help identify desired
outcomes for each position that help the manager or supervisor put the person in the job that's
right for them.
18
Objectives
The Employee Merit Pay/Incentive Program is designed to achieve the following broad
objectives for the City:
- Provide an objective, fair and equitable performance evaluation for all eligible employees.
- Establish a clear understanding of results expected, measurement criteria, measurement
standards, goals and performance level expected for each position as defined by the
organization.
- Provide accurate, objective and timely feedback to employees about performance on the job.
- Permit employee participation in setting goals and in the review of their performance.
- Create individual development plans to promote performance improvement.
- Provide information to the organization to meet its present and future staffing, promotional
and training needs.
- Provide objective data as a basis for fair and equitable determination of financial recognition
for employees.
All non-represented full-time and part-time employees are evaluated at least once during each
calendar year by their Department Head based on the Annual Employee Performance Evaluation
tool (See Article 10, Section 4). An employee is evaluated according to how they perform
activities in his or her job description. Employee evaluations provide an opportunity for both
employees and the Department Head to provide each other feedback regarding work issues, with
the exception of issues subject to the Grievance Procedure.
All evaluation forms must be signed by both the employee and the supervisor and forwarded to
the Mayor for final review. The sealed forms are forwarded to the Finance & Administration
Director for filing in the employee's permanent record.
The position pay scales within this program will be reviewed periodically by the Mayor and
Common Council to ensure consistency within the labor market and will authorize adjustments
accordingly.
19
Section 2.8 – Temporary Promotions
Purpose
The City of Muskego recognizes that hiring the best, most qualified person for a city position is a
very important task and that city employees are its most valuable resource.
This policy sets forth the guidelines to be utilized by Mayor and department heads when it
becomes necessary to temporarily promote existing staff whereby increasing work
responsibilities to an existing employee because of an incumbent’s absence or resignation.
Policy
Occasionally it may be necessary to temporarily assign an employee to a job other than his/her
regular job. When significant changes in duties and responsibilities of a position occur on a
temporary basis, an interim promotion or temporary upgrade may be requested by submitting an
updated position description (if needed). Such a temporary reassignment shall normally be for no
less than four (4) consecutive weeks and no more than twelve (12) consecutive months without
approval of Mayor.
Interim promotion occurs when the responsibilities being undertaken by the employee are those
of another position that is vacant because of the incumbent's absence or resignation. Temporary
upgrades occur when there is significant change in the duties and responsibilities of the
incumbent’s position. The assignment to the interim position does not guarantee an eventual
permanent assignment to the position or of the additional duties and responsibilities.
If an interim promotion or temporary upgrade is approved by the Mayor and Department Head
involved, the employee shall receive the entry rate of the new classification or an increase of 6%
of his/her current pay for each pay grade, whichever is greater. The change in wages will be
effective upon notification to and processing by the Finance & Administration Department
personnel, and is not applied retroactively.
At the end of the temporary reassignment, the employee shall have his/her salary reduced to its
original level including any salary increase that the employee would have received in his/her
regular position.
If the temporary assignment is to a lower-paid job, the employee's base salary will not be
adjusted.
Notification to the Employee
When an employee is assigned to the interim position he/she will receive a memorandum
reflecting the terms of the appointment from the appropriate Department Head or Mayor. This
memorandum must include the following: the new salary and its effective date, approximate
duration of the appointment, confirmation of responsibilities during this period, salary revision,
and other relevant factors. A copy of the letter notifying the employee of the interim
promotion/temporary upgrade must be sent to the Finance & Administration Director for
placement in the employee's personnel file.
20
Section 2.9 – Permanent Promotions
Purpose
The City of Muskego recognizes that hiring the best, most qualified person for a city position is a
very important task and that city employees are its most valuable resource.
This policy sets forth the guidelines to be utilized by the Mayor and Department Heads when an
internal staff person is promoted to a new position and increased salary range.
Policy
An employee promoted to a new position will be placed at 85% of the non-represented salary
range midpoint for the new position or receive a 6% increase whichever is greater. For those
placed at 85% of midpoint, the employee will move to 92.5% of midpoint upon the first
anniversary date of the promotion. Upon the second anniversary date of the promotion, the
employee will then move to 100% of midpoint.
If the promoted employee initially receives a 6% increase, the employee will move to the next
step increase, receive a 7% increase or will follow the City’s salary plan upon the first
anniversary date of the promotion, whichever is greater. In no case will the step increases
exceed 100% of midpoint.
All step increases will be subject to a satisfactory evaluation (an Effective or higher rating must
be received in Part V - Overall Performance on the City’s performance evaluation form).
Following the first year of promotion, the employee will not receive Pay for Performance (PFP)
adjustments during the period that he/she receives the step increases as a result of the promotion.
Thereafter, the employee’s salary will be determined by the city’s salary plan, with the exception
of those who were promoted on a date other than January 1. For those employees, the PFP
adjustments will be pro-rated.
Certain employees within the Police Department may need to be evaluated outside of this policy
because of the narrow salary range between ranks.
21
Section 2.10 – Elimination, Change and Creation of Positions
If a Department Head desires that the fundamental duties corresponding to a departmental
position be eliminated, decreased, increased or otherwise changed, or if a Department Head
desires the establishment of a new position, the Department Head should consult with the City
Mayor and/or appropriate Board. After further review of the request, the City Mayor and
Department Head may approve any non-substantial changes. For all other requests, the Mayor
and appropriate Department Head will report their findings to the City Common Council for
authorization or denial.
22
Section 3.1 – Hours of Work/Work Schedules
Hours of Work, Work Day and Work Week
City Hall is open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. except holidays and weekends. Other offices
and departments may establish different hours to manage its respective operations. Unless
otherwise restricted by collective bargaining agreement or applicable law, an employee’s
workday and workweek may be adjusted from time-to-time. This adjustment may occur on a
daily basis, provided such adjustments comply with Fair Labor Standards Act requirements. The
City reserves its management rights to exclusively manage its operations in the best interest of
the taxpayers of the City of Muskego. These provisions do not guarantee every employee a
normal workday or work week.
For general full-time municipal employees, the normal workday is generally eight hours and
normal work week is generally five consecutive days, although this is subject to adjustment.
Employees are compensated at straight time for all hours worked, unless overtime requirements
dictate otherwise. Benefits are administered on an hour-for-hour basis.
For all employees of the Police and Library Departments, the normal workday is generally
established by department policy or practice, a collective bargaining agreement, or by applicable
law or regulation. This provision does not guarantee every employee’s a normal workday or
work week as may be defined and may be adjusted from time-to-time, even on a daily basis,
unless such management rights have been restricted by express, specific provisions of a
collective bargaining agreement, or by applicable federal or state law or regulation, or otherwise
provided in department policy.
Work Schedules
The normal work schedule for all categories of employees will be determined by the department
head or collective bargaining agreement. Supervisors will advise employees of their individual
work schedules. Staffing needs and operational demands may necessitate variations in starting
and ending times, days of the week worked, as well as variations in the total hours that may be
scheduled each day and week.
Employees must receive specific authorization from their respective department head prior to
performing any work outside of their normal work schedule.
23
Section 3.2 – Attendance/Tardiness
Absence, tardiness or leaving early places an extra burden on co-workers and undermines the
efficient operation of the City. It is each employee’s responsibility to be on the job, on time as
scheduled each day, and be fully able and ready to work. Employees are expected to arrive at
work on time, return from scheduled rest breaks and lunch breaks on time and to work until the
end of your scheduled work day or until relieved from duty.
Employees who do not report to work at their scheduled shift starting time will be considered
tardy. An employee who anticipates being absent or tardy must call in to report the absence or
tardiness as soon as possible before their shift begins. The failure to comply with this attendance
policy as well as excessive, habitual, or patterns of absences, tardiness or leaving early will result
in disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
Section 3.3 – Timekeeping/Time Card Regulations
Each Employee is required to document working hours via the timekeeping system and will be
held accountable for failing to accurately record work time. Employee should record his or her
time only and are responsible for verifying the hours recorded are complete and accurate prior to
submitting to the supervisor or designated employee at the end of each pay period.
To accommodate direct deposit, it is necessary to have all time sheets to the Payroll Office as
early as possible on Monday following the pay period end date. Any errors must be immediately
reported by the employee. Employees should never assume a supervisor or the Payroll Office
will notice or edit any time discrepancy, as this is the employee’s responsibility.
Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every employee. Federal and State
laws require the City to keep accurate records of time worked in order to calculate employee pay
and benefits. Time worked is all the time actually spent on the job performing assigned duties.
Altering, falsifying, tampering with time records, or recording time on another employee’s time
record may result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
24
Section 3.4 On-Call
Non-exempt employees who are called to work at a time other than a regularly scheduled time,
shall be entitled to at least two (2) hours work or pay at time and one-half (1-1/2), regardless of
the length of time less than two (2) hours which they may have worked, provided, however, that
such minimum shall not apply to hours worked consecutively prior to or subsequent to the
employee’s scheduled workday. Any employee called in may be required to work the two (2)
full hours.
In regard to pager carrying, the Utility Superintendent or Utilities Foreman will assume the
responsibility of having the pager carried, having first priority of the duty. The Utility
Superintendent will designate a person to carry the pager in his absence. The compensation will
be one-hour straight time per day.
If a non-exempt Police Department sworn employee’s court appearance, not covered by a
collective bargaining agreement, is canceled with less than 8 hours’ notice, the officer shall be
paid two hours of straight time.
Section 3.5 – Rest Breaks
Employees, who are not exempt from Fair Labor Standards Act for overtime purposes, may take
two 15-minute breaks, one before lunch and one after lunch. With approval of the Department
Head, employees may merge their two fifteen minute breaks with their lunch break. Wherever
possible, such breaks shall be taken at or near the work site and shall include any nominal travel
time to and from the break area. Employees are not to exceed 15 minutes, nor are they allowed
to combine breaks for purposes of leaving work early at the end of the work day, unless
otherwise occasionally approved by the Department Head or designee.
Section 3.6 Modifications to Work Schedules
Changes in work schedules may be made by mutual agreement of the parties so long as hours are
adjusted within the same workweek. Such change in schedule will not result in an employee
earning overtime premium for hours in excess of eight (8) per day.
25
Section 3.7 Inclement Weather/Closing of City Facilities
The Police Department or Department of Public Works will report severe weather forecasts and
road conditions to the Mayor, who will determine if City offices will be closed for business.

Section 4.1 – Salary Administration
Pay Classifications/Scales
The purpose of the pay classification and pay scale plan is to provide a standard system for the
effective administration of fair and equitable pay for the following employee groups:
Classification Scale
Managerial and Specialists Merit Progression Based
General Employees Wage Progression Scale
Represented Police Step Based
Pay Plan
The pay plan utilized by the City of Muskego includes the schedule of pay ranges consisting of a
minimum and maximum rate of pay for all classes of positions contained in each respective plan.
The objective of each pay plan is to provide an appropriate salary structure to recruit and retain
the required number of City employees.
Administration
The Human Resources Office shall be responsible for the overall administration of each pay
plan and shall make additions, subtractions and modifications to classifications and the
corresponding pay range assignments as needed between formal surveys with the approval of the
City Mayor for reflection in future budget documents.
Linkage
Each pay plan shall be directly linked to a classification plan. Positions of similar responsibility
shall be grouped together in grade levels to establish an appropriate rate for each grade, and to
establish a range for that grade. The appropriate rate shall be based on internal rankings and
external market conditions.
Deductions
Before any deduction from an employee’s wages is made, other than those allowed by law or
court order, employees must authorize the deduction in writing. Forms for authorizing a
deduction are available in the Human Resource Office.
New Employees
A new employee is classified and may be employed at a point within the salary range
commensurate with his/her qualifications as determined by the Department Head.
28
Performance Evaluation(s)
Performance will be conducted at least annually and shall be considered in personnel decisions
affecting such things as compensation, promotion, demotion, removal, reduction in force, re-
employment and training. Additional information is provided for in Section 2.7 of the Employee
Handbook.
Salary Adjustments
General - The salary schedules shall be reviewed periodically, not to exceed five (5) years, to
consider overall changes of salaries inside the organization, the labor market and economic
conditions. If a general adjustment is given, it may be made either on a straight percentage basis,
a flat dollar amount, or a combination of the two. Such adjustments shall normally be effective
January 1. If the City utilizes a step based pay system, movement from one step to the next, or
portion thereof, will typically occur on the employee’s anniversary date of hire into their current
classification and only after receiving a satisfactory, good or excellent review of their
performance from their supervisor as authorized through the budget process.
Promotions – Temporary and Permanent Promotion policies found in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 of
Employee Handbook, respectively.
Demotion - Demotions may be made in lieu of layoff, as a disciplinary measure or can be
voluntary. Demotions must be approved in advance by the Department Head and City Ma yor.
When employees are demoted, the following provisions apply:
1. Involuntary - An employee who is demoted for non-voluntary reasons but unrelated to
performance will retain his/her present salary if the salary exceeds the new range
maximum. If the present salary falls within the new range, the employee will be placed
in the new range at their current salary. As long as an employee’s salary exceeds the new
range maximum, the employee will not be eligible for further base -accumulating pay
increases until his/her salary is again within the salary range for the new position.
2. Voluntary - An employee who takes a voluntary demotion will retain his/her present
salary unless that salary exceeds the maximum rate of pay for the new position in which
case the employee’s salary will be adjusted to the new maximum. However, an employee
may continue to receive a rate of pay in excess of that maximum upon the
recommendation of the Department Head and approval of the Mayor. If the employee
continues to receive a rate of pay in excess of the maximum salary range, the employee
will not be eligible for further base-accumulating pay increases until his/her salary is
again within the salary range for the new position.
3. Related to Performance - An employee who is demoted for performance reasons will
retain his/her present salary unless that salary exceeds the maximum rate of pay for the
new position in which case the employee’s salary will be adjusted to the new maximum.
29
Transfers - Employees in good standing may request to be considered for transfer to another
position in the City which is vacant. Such requests shall be made to the Mayor. When
employees transfer within the same classification or pay range, they will receive no sa lary
adjustment.
Special - Employees, whose salaries are substantially below the level called for by the labor
market and the individual’s performance, may be given an increase in addition to that called for
elsewhere in these guidelines, upon recommendation of the Department Head and Mayor
provided sufficient funds have been made available through the budgeting process by the
Common Council.
Reallocation/Reclassification - When an allocation of a position has been changed as a result of
changes in the duties assigned to the position, the organizational structure of a department or
logical and gradual changes in the duties and responsibilities of the position, such change in
grade will be considered to be a reallocation or reclassification. When employees are reallocated
or reclassified the following provisions apply:
1. Employees who are reallocated or reclassified to a higher pay grade will be granted a
salary increase as defined in Section 2.9 (Permanent Promotions) of the Employee
Handbook.
2. If a position is reallocated or reclassified to a classification in a lower salary range and
the salary of the employee exceeds the maximum of the new range, the employee will be
placed in the new range, the employee will be placed in the new class and will retain
his/her current salary. However, the employee will not be eligible for further base-
accumulating pay increases until his/her salary is again within the salary range for the
new position.
Recall/Reinstatement - When employees are reinstated to their former position, they shall
normally be paid at the rate of the position they are returning to, commensurate with the level
at the time of separation unless significant experience was obtained since separation which
enhances the value of the employee to the City. In such instances, a higher rate may be paid up
to the maximum for that position. When the employees are reinstated to a position with a lower
or higher pay grade, they shall be paid according to their experience and qualifications within the
pay grade in which they will be employed.
Replacement of Employee in Previous Classification within Orientation Period - An employee
who does not successfully complete their orientation period and returns to his/her former class
will have his/her salary restored to the same rate of pay the employee received in the former
class.
30
Seasonal and Temporary Employment – Seasonal and temporary employees, including interns
and students, shall be compensated at a rate established by the Department Head through the
budget process.
Temporary Assignment - Employees who are temporarily assigned to a position with a higher
maximum pay rate than their current rate for a period of 30 days or more may receive an increase
in pay retroactive to the starting date of their assignment upon approval of the Mayor, per
recommendation of the Department Head. If the 30 day threshold is known to be satisfied at the
time of appointment, the pay adjustment will become effective upon assignment. Employees who
are temporarily assigned to a position with a lower pay rate for any period shall not receive a
reduction in pay.
Compression Adjustment - Wage compression exists when there is an unacceptable differential
in wages or salary between a supervisor and direct subordinate. In rare circumstances,
compression can also exist within grades when more experienced employees within the same or
similar classifications are earning less than, or nearly the same as, less experienced employees.
Compression can exist under a base pay comp arison, under a total gross earnings comparison, or
both. In determining whether compression is an issue that must be resolved through a pay
increase, the City will look at the differences in total compensation (i.e., direct pay and benefits)
between the supervisor and subordinate positions. Unless the benefit package of the supervisor
is determined to compensate for wage compression, the City will provide an acceptable base pay
differential between an exempt supervisory position and the average gross earning of the top paid
position directly supervised. Compression adjustment should not, in most cases require a pay
grade change in order to use a rate within the assigned grade that provides the recommended
differential. In situations where the compression analysis requires a higher base rate than would
normally be utilized under the compensation plan, at the City’s discretion, one of two actions
will be available:
1. Adjust the employee’s pay upward into the range, or
2. Move the position up one pay grade temporarily and only while compression
conditions are still causing the problem.
The City will utilize the first option whenever possible, as long as the current pay grade and
range allows for sufficient earnings growth consistent with the intent and spirit of the
compensation plan. However, when the City utilizes the second option and the position will be
placed in a higher grade, all documents and communications are retained to reflect the temporary
assignment of these positions. The earnings differential situation should be checked every year,
and if conditions change such that the actual pay grade provides an adequate differential and
opportunity for sufficient earnings growth, these positions will move back into their correct
grade.
31
The City recognizes that the allowance of compression adjustments does disrupt some of the
internal equity in its compensation plan, because there are jobs that are of higher internal value
that may be paid less than a job of lower internal value. This is why the City intends to utilize
compression adjustments sparingly. All compression adjustments must be recommended by the
Department Head and receive approval by the City Mayor. In the event that a position under a
compression adjustment is later reclassified downward to the correct internal pay grade, the
policy for Salary upon Reclassification of Position will apply in regard to compensation for the
affected employee.
Market Adjustment - The City’s compensation program has provided a methodology for
determining pay rates for employees that recognizes not only the value of the positions in the
market but also the internal worth within the City. There may be situations where a position in
the City’s compensation plan should be considered for placement at a higher range of pay than
that which is established. These are positions that may command higher rates of pay due to
market demands. As illustrated below, market adjustments should generally be considered only
under situation one or two. In either case, situation three should also apply before a market
adjustment is approved:
1. The City has documented problems recruiting and/or selecting employees within the
assigned pay range (for example, a position is advertised two or more times resulting
in few or no qualified individuals).
2. The City has an unacceptable rate of turnover in a position, and exit interview
information indicates a pay issue is contributing to the high turnover rate.
3. Periodic Market surveys conducted by the City show that the mid-point of the City’s
pay range is more than 15% less than the average rate of pay shown for a given
position in the market analysis.
In situations where market demands higher pay rates, at the City’s discretion, one of two actions
will be available:
1. Adjust the employee’s pay upward into the range, or
2. Move the position into a higher pay grade temporarily and only while market conditions
are still causing the problem.
The City will utilize the first option whenever possible. However, when the City utilizes the
second option, the appropriate pay grade will be determined by the City (with consultation from
a compensation consultant, if desired) and the position will be placed in a higher grade.
Furthermore, all documents and communications are retained to reflect the temporary assignment
of these positions to a higher pay grade. The market conditions should be checked every year,
and if conditions change, these positions will move back into their correct grade.
32
The City recognizes that allowance of market adjustments does disrupt some of the internal
equity in its compensation plan, because there are jobs that are of higher internal value that may
be paid less than a job of lower internal value. That is why the City intends to utilize market
adjustments sparingl y.
All market adjustments must be recommended by the Department Head and receive approval by
the City Mayor. In the event that a position under a market adjustment is reclassified to the
correct pay grade, the reclassification section would apply in regard to compensation for the
affected employee.
Exceptions to the Pay Plan - Exceptions to the pay plan will be made by the Common Council.
33
Section 4.2 – Payroll Periods
Employees shall be paid on a bi-weekly basis. There are twenty-six (26) pay periods each year,
which begins at 12:01 a.m. on alternate Sundays, and conclude at 12:00 midnight on alternate

In the event a payroll falls during a holiday week disrupting the normal payroll process, the City
reserves the right to designate an alternate pay date.

accounts through direct deposit, and are encouraged to do so. Deposits may be made to both
checking and savings accounts up to a maximum of seven (7) accounts. Direct deposits are
generally made to the employee’s account the morning of the designated payday. It is the
employee’s obligation to make sure all of their direct deposit information is current and to advise
the Payroll Department whenever there has been a change in their bank or deposit information.

Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), it is required that
employers with twenty or more employees offer employees and/or their dependents a continuation
of group health insurance in certain circumstances where coverage under this plan would otherwise
terminate.
Should an employee terminate employment for any reason other than gross misconduct or
otherwise leave the City and have been continuously covered by the City’s group insurance plan
before that, such employee and/or dependents may have the right to continue or covert coverage
for a determined period of time.

involved in a traumatic incident and removal from regular duties is appropriate pending
counseling or other employee assistance, or when a complaint against an employee is of a nature
requiring removal from regular duties pending investigation.

who requests or takes FMLA leave. The City administers this FMLA policy on a calendar year
basis. Both Wisconsin and Federal family and medical leave will run concurrently with each other
and concurrently with any other leave which is available to the employee under the City‟s poli cies
or collective bargaining agreements, as well as under Federal and Wisconsin law. Leave taken
under this FMLA Policy will not be used against an employee in any employment decision,
including in the determination of wage increases, promotions or disciplinary action.
Eligibility for Leave
It is the City‟s policy to provide employees with Wisconsin family or medical leave if they have
worked for at least fifty-two (52) consecutive weeks and have worked at least 1,000 hours in
employment in the twelve (12) month period prior to the time leave begins. Employees will be
eligible for Federal family and medical leave if they have worked for at least twelve (12) months
and have worked 1,250 hours in employment in the twelve (12) month period immediately prior
to the time leave begins. Employees will only be eligible for the period of leave taken under this
policy which will count toward the leave to which an employee may be entitled under Federal
and/or Wisconsin law.
Amount of Leave Available
Employees are generally entitled to unpaid leave for any one or combination of the following
reasons:

event, the City must be notified, in writing, at least thirty (30) calendar days before the dat e on
which leave is to begin. In the event of an emergency, notice must be provided as soon as
practicable but no later than two (2) business days after the FMLA leave begins. The City has
forms which must be completed to request family or medical leave. The Family and Medical
Leave Request Forms are available from the Human Resource Office. Employees must comply

Health Insurance and other Insurance Benefits
The employee may continue to receive health insurance and other insurance benefits while on a
family or medical leave. An employee must continue to pay his/her share of all insurance
premiums through payroll deduction or by direct payment on the first of the month. Failure to
make timely payment may result in loss of insurance. Other employment benefits will also be
continued during the family and/or medical leave. An employee must notify the City of his or her
intent to continue insurance coverage while on leave. If an employee fails to return to work or
fails to remain at work for a period provided under the law, the City may recover its portion of the
premiums paid for coverage during the leave.
Intermittent Leave
Intermittent leave is leave which is taken in multiple blocks of time due to a single illness or
injury, rather than in one continuous period of time (i.e., leave taken an hour at a time for a
doctor‟s appointment or leave taken several days at a time over a period of months for
chemotherapy treatments).
53
FMLA leave may be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule under the following
circumstances: (a) FMLA leave based on the birth or placement of a child for adoption may
generally only be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule within the sixteen (16)
weeks before or sixteen (16) weeks after the birth or adoption, unless consent is otherwise
obtained from the City; and/or (b) FMLA leave based on the serious health condition of an

provider chosen, and paid for, by the City. Review by a third health care provider may be required
by the City, and paid for by the City, in the event of differing conclusions from the original and
second health care provider certifications. The City may also request that an employee recertify as
to the continuation of the serious health condition at various points in time.
Return to Employment at End of Leave

„Fitness for Duty‟ statement signed by the treating physi cian, as required for all similarly-situated
employees upon return from medical leave.

position held at the commencement of leave or, if the position is no longer available, to equivalent
employment with the City. The return to work entitlement will be no greater than if the employee
had continued in employment without the taking of leave. If an employee wants to return to work
before leave is scheduled to end, and work is available, the employee must notify the City at least
two (2) working days prior to the desired return date. If the reason for leave was due to the
serious health condition of the employee, a medical release must be provided to the City before
the employee returns to work. If a medical release is not received, the employee‟s return to work
will be delayed until it is received.
Failure to Meet Policy Requirements
If an individual fails to meet the requirements of this FMLA Policy, his or her request for family
or medical leave may be denied or delayed until the requirements are met and the employee may
be subject to disciplinary action.

Section 7.7 – Leave Donation
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for an employee to receive donated leave
time from fellow City employees when the individual has an insufficient amount of accumulated
sick days, vacation days, compensatory time, or other leave to provide for continued salary
during an extended illness or other medical condition.
It is the policy of the City of Muskego to allow its employees who have exhausted their
accumulated leave time, due to illness or medical condition, to seek donations of leave time from
fellow employees. It is the intent of this policy to provide a mechanism for voluntary financial
assistance to employees as well as to protect the interest of the City by placing limits on the
amount of time an employee may receive through donations from other employees.
Eligibility
All employees who have worked for the City of Muskego for a minimum of 12 consecutive

employee may donate. Sick leave is eligible to be donated. However, the maximum amount of
sick leave any one employee will be permitted to donate to another employee is 40 hours during
any 12-month period.

donated leave in order to care for the employee’s child, spouse or parent, if the child, spouse or
parent has a serious health condition as defined in Federal and Wisconsin statutes.
58

health condition which prevents the employee from working. The forms shall not require an
employee to disclose any information about the nature of the illness or medical condition. All
such medical information shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed to
unauthorized persons without the employee’s consent.

Section 8.1 – Drug Free Workplace
Purpose
The City of Muskego has a responsibility to provide a healthy, safe and productive environment
for City employees, citizens doing business with the City, and visitors while recognizing that the
use and abuse of alcohol and drugs are major problems in society that also exist in the
workplace. Individuals who use, are under the influence of drugs or alcohol while at work
present an obvious and unacceptable threat to their own safety and health, and that of their fellow
employees, citizens and visitors with whom they come in contact. The use/abuse of drugs and
alcohol has a detrimental effect on performance/productivity, and could lead to an increase in
certain employee related costs to the City.
Policy Statement
In order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its employees, and that of the residents of the
City of Muskego, the City prohibits employees reporting for work while under the influence of a
controlled substance, except non-impairing medication taken as prescribed or a legal drug. The
City further prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession or use of controlled
substances, alcohol or illegal drug paraphernalia by employees on duty (1) while on City
property, (2) when operating or riding in any City vehicle/equipment, or (3) performing work for
the City off premises. When random or mandatory drug testing is required by law, such testing
shall be conducted by trained medical personnel at the City’s expense with the results of such
test, or tests, to be disclosed to and used by the City.
It is the intent of the City, under this policy, to fully comply with the Federal Drug-Free
Workplace Act, to maintain a drug-free workplace for its employees. It is also the City's intent to
assist employees who may be experiencing problems with alcohol or drug abuse through the
City’s Health Insurance or Wellness Programs. The implementation of this policy will address,
in a positive manner, the needs of employees and their families, who may be suffering from
alcohol or drug abuse and at the same time enhance the health and safety of employees, as well
as their productivity.
All City employees, as a condition of their employment, must strictly abide by this policy. If the
City has any reason to suspect that an employee is violating this policy, the employee may be
asked to immediately submit to a search/screening to the extent as permitted by law. It must be
clearly understood that any employee violating this policy will be subject to discipline, up to and
including discharge.
60
However, the use of a controlled substance for a current health condition, as prescribed by a
medical or dental practitioner licensed to prescribe controlled substances, and where properly
taken, shall not subject an employee to discipline. If an employee reasonably expects that such
use will impair normal functioning or employee safety, such employee must report the same to
his/her supervisor.
All employees experiencing an alcohol or drug problem are encouraged to voluntarily seek
assistance available to them through the City's health insurance or wellness programs. Such
assistance is designed to be confidential and will in no way affect j ob security or opportunities
for advancement. Implementation of this policy will not, however, result in any privileges or
exemptions from accepted levels of job performance (quality or quantity of work, attendance,
conduct, reliability, etc.).
As required by the Drug-Free Workplace Act, all employees must notify the City, in writing, of
any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five
(5) calendar days after such conviction. The City will notify the appropriate federal agency
within ten (10) calendar days after receiving actual notice of such conviction. The City is also
required under the Act to take one of the following actions within thirt y (30) days of receiving
notice under this paragraph:
a. Take appropriate disciplinary action against such employee, up to and including
discharge;
b. Require such employee to participate satisfactorily in an approved drug abuse counseling
or rehabilitation, at the employee's expense and/or pursuant to the provisions of the City's
health insurance or wellness program.
61
Section 8.2 – Drug and Alcohol Testing
To comply with applicable federal and state mandates, this policy applies to all departments,
employees (except those departments with a specific testing policy) and job applicants, as may
be required by applicable state or federal mandates. A department-specific policy shall apply to
the employees of that department in lieu of these general procedures.
Types of Testing
The City may perform the following types of drug or alcohol testing:
(1) Pre-employment Testing - Applicant for employment, whether full-time, part-time, seasonal
or temporary, may be required to undergo and pass a drug test before he/she may commence
employment at the City. Each job applicant will be advised that a drug test will be required as a
part of a pre-placement examination and that any job offer is contingent upon, among other
things, successful passage of that test.
(2) Reasonable Suspicion Testing - If at any time, the City determines, there is reasonable
suspicion that an employee is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, the employee will be
required to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test. Reasonable suspicion will be determined by the
immediate supervisor and will be based upon observable actions, alone or in conjunction with
other factors.
(3) Post-Accident Testing: If an employee is involved in an accident the City may require post-
accident testing if any of the following have occurred:
• The employee was performing a safety-sensitive function
• An accident involving bodily injury or fatality
• An accident involving significant property damage
• A citation is issued to the employee under state or local law for a moving traffic violation
This section shall apply to both the injured employee and any other employee whose actions may
have contributed to the occurrence of the accident.
(4) Random Testing - Pursuant to the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, all
employees required to hold commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) shall be required to participate
in random drug and alcohol testing.
62
Employees will be randomly selected for testing via a testing facility computer program. Testing
dates and times are unannounced and will occur on a quarterly basis. Each calendar year, the
number of random tests conducted must equal at least 50% from a “pool” of employees subject
to testing. All testing will take place during working hours.
To ensure the integrity and accuracy of each test, all specimen collection, analysis and laboratory
procedures shall be conducted in accordance with DOT’s procedural protocols and safeguards set
forth in 49 CFR, Part 40.
An employee is considered positive for alcohol with a testing level of 0.04 or greater. For testing
results of 0.02 or greater, an employee must be removed from performing a safety-sensitive
function, which is defined as driving, inspecting, servicing or repairing a commercial motor
vehicle. In the event an employee is unable to provide an adequate amount of breath, the
employee will be required to submit to an evaluation by a licensed medical physician to
determine whether a valid medical condition exists.
In the event of a positive drug test, results will be reviewed by a physician medical review officer
to determine if there is an alternative medical explanation for drugs found in the employee’s
specimen.
(5) Return-to Work Testing - After engaging in prohibited conduct regarding alcohol misuse, the
employee shall undergo a return-to-work alcohol test before performing a safety-sensitive
function. The test result must indicate a breath alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 or indicate
a verified negative result for drug use.
In the event a return-to-work test is required, the employee must also be evaluated by a
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and participate in any assistance program prescribed.
Return-to-work tests need not be confined to the substance involved in the violation. If the SAP
determines that the employee needs assistance with a poly-substance abuse problem, the SAP
may require, for example, alcohol tests to be performed along with the required drug tests after
the employee has violated the drug testing prohibition.
(6) Follow-Up Testing - If a substance abuse professional (SAP) determines that an employee
needs assistance resolving problems associated with alcohol or drug use, the employer will
ensure that the employee is subjected to unannounced follow-up testing following the
employee’s return to work. The number and frequency of the tests are to be determined by the
SAP, but must consist of six tests during the first twelve (12) months following the employee’s
return to work. Follow-up testing may be done for up to sixty (60) months. The SAP may
terminate the requirement for the follow-up testing in excess of the minimum at any time if the
SAP determines that the testing is no longer necessary. As in Return-to Work Testing, the
follow-up tests need not be confined to the substance involved in the violation.
63
Follow-up testing will only be performed while the employee is at work for the employer.
Employee Consent
An employee’s consent to submit to drug or alcohol testing is required as a condition of
employment, and the employee’s continued employment with the City. The employee’s refusal
to consent to drug or alcohol testing shall result in disciplinary action, including discharge.
Supervisor’s Role/Responsibilities
If it is determined that there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is using or is
under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the Supervisor or supervisor representative is to transport
the employee to the testing facility for drug and/or alcohol testing immediately. The Supervisor
or supervisor representative is to wait at the clinic with the employee until the test has been
completed or the sample has been taken. If the alcohol test is not conducted within eight (8)
hours after the supervisor makes such reasonable suspicion determination, or if the drug test is
not conducted within twenty-four (24) hours after such determination, the supervisor will
complete a report explaining the reasons why the test was not conducted. If a positive
confirmatory test result has been received, the employee will not be permitted to drive his/her
own vehicle home at that time. The employee must make alternative transportation
arrangements in order to leave the employment site. The employee will be advised not to report
for work as she/he will be placed on administrative leave without pay. For test results which
normally take 24 – 48 hours, the City will contact the employee once the test results are known
and a decision has been made as to the employee's status.
The results of the drug or alcohol testing will be sent directly to the Human Resource Office.
When the results are obtained, the employee's Supervisor will meet with the Mayor and Human
Resource Director to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken. This is a
confidential process. Test results will be held strictly confidential and are not to be discussed or
shared with anyone who does not need to know.
Once the test has been completed and the employee has been sent home, the Supervisor must
submit a written report to the Mayor and Human Resource Office outlining, in detail, the event
and the behavior observed that led the supervisor to believe the employee was under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs. This report must be done within 24 hours of the testing and is
to assist the Department in assessing the appropriate discipline to be considered.
Discipline
Any employee who is found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to discipline up to
and including discharge as outlined in the City’s Code of Conduct and Discipline policy.
64
Confidentiality
Except in disciplinary proceedings, all records pertaining to required drug tests shall remain
confidential, unless disclosure is otherwise required by law, or overriding public health safety
concerns exist, or authorized in writing by the employee subject to the test. Test results reported
will be provided to the Department Head, Mayor and Human Resource Office. Drug test results
and records shall be retained in the employee’s personnel file for an indefinite period.
65
Section 8.3 – Personal Appearance / Dress Code
Purpose
An employee’s appearance reflects the City’s image to the public. All employees are expected to
be clean and to be concerned with good personal hygiene, proper attire according to the type of
work you perform. Moderation and good taste in dress and grooming are expected of all
employees.
As all employees reflect the City’s image, attire should project a professional working
environment. Unkempt appearance can offset many other fine qualities and negatively reflect
the City’s image.
Policy
All jeans, T-shirts, short skirts, tight, revealing or suggestive apparel and other forms of sport or
trendy type attire with printed slogans are not acceptable working apparel for office personnel or
employees who are in contact with our customers. With exception of earrings, employees are
not allowed to wear body piercings or ear stretching devices that are visible to the public while at
work.
Tattoos are a matter of personal choice. In order to avoid having to censor what tattoos are
appropriate, the City will require all employees who work in an office setting (City Hall, Library,
etc.,) to cover any visible tattoos. Employees may cover tattoos with articles of clothing or if
that is not possible, they may be covered with a flesh colored band aid.
Certain employees may be required by the City to wear other forms of work clothes or uniforms
depending on the nature of their job. This type of attire should be properly maintained and worn
where required by department policy.
On occasion, such as ‘casual Fridays’, the City or particular department will sponsor specific
days where the dress code is relaxed. On these days, employees should still keep the dress code
in mind and dress accordingly if they are expected to attend a work related meeting or
appointment.
This policy is intended to allow for a more comfortable atmosphere, yet retain a professional
image. The employee’s supervisor will determine if a violation of the City guidelines has
occurred. Employees who violate these guidelines will be required to take corrective action,
which may include leaving the premises. Continued violation of this policy will result in
disciplinary action.
66
Section 8.4 – Telephone Usage / Cell Phone
Purpose
This policy governs the use of mobile cellular telephones (cell phones) and other personal
communication devices such as Smartphones, for all full-time employees. For the purposes of
this policy the term “cell phone” will apply to all the above. The guidelines, prohibitions and
information established in this policy are meant to provide departments and employees with
specific information regarding the intended use of cell phones as well as procedures related to
their procurement and use.
To provide efficiency through the use of technology, the City will provide a cell phone or a
personal cell phone allowance to authorized individuals. The use of a cellular device allows the
employee to remain available for work related communication while away from their office
landline and enables them to complete the essential functions of their job.
To meet the Internal Revenue Service rules relating to the taxability issue of personal use of City
provided cell phones, it is the goal of the City to eliminate personal use of City provided cell
phones and offer a personal cell phone allowance protocol. This protocol will give designated
employees the option to receive an allowance for conducting City business using a personal
cellular phone.
Policy
The respective Department Heads are responsible for identifying the needs of their Departments
and requesting needed equipment and services.
All requests for a cellular phone device or allowance shall be authorized by the Department Head
and the Mayor and must meet the following strict justification guidelines:
1. Employee has management responsibility which requires a cellular phone for
operational tasks; or
2. Task Driven functions that require a cell phone
a) An identifiable and articulable need
b) For a specific task or function,
c) The use of which will enhance efficiency or effectiveness of City operations
67
Allowances
Once a Department Head has determined a specific need for an employee to possess a cell phone
for the efficiency of City operations, and that employee either currently has a personal cell
phone, or agrees to obtain a cell phone at their own expense, that employee will receive a
monthly allowance for the proposed use of that phone for City business as follows:
• $10 per month for employee designated for continuous availability during work
hours with only occasional calls expected during off duty hours
• $20 per month for employees designated for continuous availability during work
hours and off duty
• An additional $20 per month for employees that require cellular internet access
Employee Provided Cell Phone
An employee agreeing to use a personal cell phone for City business and receiving an allowance:
Agrees to have the City publish that personal cell phone number in the internal City
directory.
Must respond to City business calls in accordance with the expectation levels
established by the Department Head or Mayor.
Must notify the Department Head immediately in the event of a cellular phone number
change, the cellular phone has become inoperable, or will be unreachable during a
designated time period that the employee is responsible for responding to City business
calls as established by the Department Head.
Employees will not be reimbursed for the cost of any lost, stolen or damaged personal cell
phones.
City Provided Cell Phone
If an employee is required to have a cell phone for their job function and does not want to use a
personal cell phone for conducting city business and receive an allowance, then a City phone will
be provided.
City owned cell phones are for work purposes only. No personal use of a City owned cell phone
is allowed except for emergency calls.
It is the responsibility of the Department Head to ensure that all City cell phone calls issued to an
employee are in compliance with this policy. An employee using a City owned cell phone may
have their cell phone bill monitored to ensure compliance.
Employee use of a personal cell phone for City business is prohibited for certain shared job
functions or positions as determined by the Department Head or Mayor. A City provided cell
phone will be issued to the position rather than the employee.
68
Employees in possession of city equipment such as cell phones are expected to protect the
equipment from loss, damage or theft. Upon resignation or termination of employment or at any
time upon request, the employee may be asked to produce the phone to return for i nspection,
upgrade or changes. Like all City equipment, it is the employee’s responsibility to maintain and
protect the equipment. In the event of damage or loss, this should be reported immediately to the
employee’s supervisor.
Procurement
Department Heads are responsible to identify the needs of their departments. Requests for
needed equipment, services, and allowances for designated employees will be approved by the
Mayor’s Office.
The Information Technology Department is assigned the responsibility to manage and administer
cellular phone contracts with vendors and place all orders for City provided cellular equipment.
City provided cell phones will be billed on one single City account and then separated by
departments. The City will contract with a cell phone provider for the limited number of City
provided cell phones.
Phone Usage
While at work, employees are to exercise the same discretion in using cell phones as they do for
City landline phones. Excessive personal calls or text messages during the workday, regardless
of the phone used, can interfere with employee productivity and can be distracting to others.
Employees must limit personal calls while on-duty or at work so that they do not interfere with
the performance of their duties. Employees are asked to make any personal calls on non-work
time when possible and to ensure that friends and family members are aware of the City’s policy.
Employees are not required to carry a cell phone, unless they have been authorized and approved
to receive an allowance or a City owned phone.
Safety Issues for Cell Phone Use
Using a cell phone while operating a vehicle may impact your driving abilities. It is the
employee’s responsibility to remain completely attentive to the task of driving while operating a
vehicle.
Employees will be responsible for payment of any traffic violations resulting from the use of a
cell phone while driving.
An employee’s failure to follow the provisions of this policy, or any subordinate departmental
policy, may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

action. Employees who need help understanding this policy or who discover a violation of this
policy are required to notify their supervisor.
81
Section 8.7 – Safety and Reporting Injuries or Illness
General Safety Rules
The City regards your safety on the job as a vital responsibility. We expect our employees to
conduct themselves carefully at all times. Always be alert to unsafe conditions, faulty equipment
or other on-the-job hazards. Employees are responsible for wearing required protective
equipment, reporting unsafe working conditions or accidents to their supervisor, cooperating and
assisting in the investigation of accidents to identify causes and corrective measures to prevent
their occurrence and complying with safety rules, codes and laws. It is the City’s policy to
insure a safe work environment for employees and customers and to require safe work practices
of all employees.
Those driving on City business must possess a valid appropriate license for the type of vehicle
they are using and are required to wear seat belts at all times. Driving records are subject to
review on a continual and/or annual basis.
A more comprehensive safety policy is available upon request.
Reporting Injuries/Illness
In the event you are injured or become ill on the job during working hours, you must do the
following:
• Report the accident/illness to your supervisor and Human Resource Office within
24 hours of the incident causing the injury.
• Secure the necessary medical attention on the job site, if possible, or dial 911 in
emergency situations.
• Complete Employer’s First Report of Injury or Disease (see section 10.4 for sample
form) within 24 hours of any accident which results in a work related injury and
forward to the Human Resources Office for proper reporting.
• If additional medical attention is needed, you should notify your supervisor and
Human Resources Office before leaving the premises. You have the right to secure
treatment from the physician of your choice.
Failure to follow the above procedures will subject an employee to disciplinary action.
82
Section 8.8 – Worker’s Compensation/Light Duty/Return to Work
Workers Compensation
Worker’s compensation is a form of insurance to protect employees in the event of a qualifying
job related injury or illness. All employees of the City of Muskego are entitled to Worker’s
Compensation coverage.
Any employee who is absent from work because of an injury or illness that occurred while at
work shall suffer no loss of compensation during such period of absence up to a maximum of
one (1) year per injury event. An Employee on temporary partial or temporary total disability
shall receive full regular pay up to a maximum of three (3) working days for the hours scheduled
to work until eligible for Worker’s Compensation payment. If eligible, the insurance carrier will
send a tax exempt check to the City of Muskego made payable to the employee for 2/3 of their
pre-injury weekly wage for each week on Worker’s Compensation leave. The City of Muskego
will process a payroll check to the employee for the difference between the Worker’s
Compensation payment and the employee’s regular wages (1/3 of lost w ages). Both payments
will be distributed with the biweekly payroll. During the period of such differential pay, there
shall be no deductions from the employee’s earned sick leave, vacation credit or retirement
benefits.
Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) will run concurrent with worker’s compensation
provided that the injury meets the criteria for a “serious health condition,” as defined by law.
Substitution of accrued paid leave is not allowed for Worker’s Compensation absences unless an
applicable labor agreement provides otherwise.
Light Duty
The City will provide temporary reassignment of an injured employee only until such time as:
The employee is medically released to perform the full range of duties of his/her position;
The restricted/modified duty assignment is discontinued at the request of the attending
physician;
The employee is medically determined to be permanently disabled and consideration is
given to modification, transfer, termination or retirement; or
The restricted/modified duty assignment is discontinued at the option of the City.
This policy is not applicable to employees who are temporarily disabled as a result of a non-work
related injury/illness. Restricted/modified duty assignment, if available, is a special short term
temporary work assignment provided for employees who have temporary medical restrictions
that prevent them from performing some or all of their normal duties. Light duty assignments
will be limited to 12 weeks. Any extension shall require approval of the Ma yor with
recommendation from the Department Head.
83
The Department Head will determine the light duty assignment, which will be based on a
qualified medical assessment of the employee. It is mandatory for the employee to provide all
necessary medical information concerning the extent of their work restrictions and the probable
duration. The employee is also required to submit updated work restrictions to the Department
Head and Human Resource Office after every doctor visit.
There is no guarantee of light duty assignments. All requests for restricted/modified duty
assignments shall be reviewed on a case by case basis. Employees on light duty are not
guaranteed the rate of pay they received for the position they held at the time they sustained their
work-related injury or illness. The pay rate for light duty assignment will be based on the
knowledge, skills and abilities required for the job as well as general market conditions.
Employees who return to work in a light duty capacity earning less than they earned in the
position held at the time they sustained the work-related accident are eligible for temporary
partial disability benefits under the State Worker’s Compensation program. Employees in light
duty positions are not permitted to supplement their worker’s compensation benefits with
accrued vacation, personal or sick leave.
If an employee accepts a light duty assignment while on worker’s compensation, that time will
not count against the employee’s family or medical leave entitlement. An employee ’s return to
work in a light duty assignment shall comply with all applicable state and/or federal laws,
including the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the American’s with Disabilities Act
(ADA), and the state Worker’s Compensation laws. If the light duty position is declined and the
employee elects to stay on FMLA leave, the employee may no longer qualify for the worker’s
compensation benefits.
Return to Work
Upon returning to work after a work related injury, an employee is required to provide a
certification or “Fitness for Duty” statement from their treating physician verifying that the
employee is able to safely and adequately return to duty and perform his/her regular job
functions. The Human Resource Office is responsible for providing the physician with a copy of
the employee’s current job description, potential restricted/modified duty assignments and City’s
return to work policy.
An employee shall be restored to his or her original position only if the attending physician
certifies that the employee is able to perform the essential functions of the job with or without
reasonable accommodations. An employee will not be restored to their original or equivalent
position if they are unable to perform the functions of their job because of a mental or physical
condition, unless other provisions of the City policy, a collective bargaining agreement or the
Wisconsin Fair Employment Act are applicable.
84
Section 8.9 – Emergency Conditions/Evacuations
Emergency and Inclement Weather Conditions
This policy outlines the procedure used for the closing of City Facilities.
The Mayor or designee will make the decision to close the City Hall buildings and notify
Department Heads when the situation is known.
Any employee scheduled to work or sent home after working a period of time due to closing
shall be paid for their normal workday hours. This policy will apply to part-time employees on a
prorated basis.
The following Departments are designated as essential to the City’s emergency response
capability and must report to duty during normal business hours, their assigned times or shift, or
when called upon by their Supervisor:
Police
Public Works/Utility
Maintenance
Tornado Warning
This policy outlines the procedure for all City employees if the National Weather Service issues
a tornado warning. Weather-Band Radios located in the City Hall Finance and Administration
Department and Library Department will sound if the National Weather Service issues a tornado
warning.
If a warning is issued during hours of operation, the Finance & Administration staff will notify
the following City Hall Departments:
Mayor
Assessor
Community Development
Engineering/Public Works
Information Technology
Parks and Recreation
85
Each Department is individually responsible for notifying all their staff and following the
development of the storm for determination as to when to take cover. Designated Library
employees will notify all other Library staff and patrons. If a funnel cloud is sighted, everyone
in the building should take cover in the City Hall lower level Muskego Room along the south
wall. Full procedures for the Library Department will be posted at all exits and reviewed with
each employee.
If time permits, the Finance and Administration Department staff will lock the vault and post a
prepared notice on the Information Counter advising the public that due to weather conditions,
the staff has taken cover in the lower level Muskego Room, and they are encouraged to also take
cover.
In case of a power outage event, the City facility elevators should not be used.
Fire Evacuation Procedure
In case of fire, an alarm will automatically alert the Police Department if activated. Additionally,
designated staff should dial 9-9-1-1 when the alarm is sounded.
An alarm is to be treated as legitimate unless proved otherwise. The Maintenance employee or
designated staff will search the building for any sign of smoke and/or fire. If it appears it was a
malfunction of equipment, the designee will contact the Police Department to cancel the fire call.
Department Heads are responsible for evacuation of their own offices and staff. Evacuation of
the meeting rooms will be the responsibility of the party who reserved the room.
Police and Fire Department personnel will check the lower level upon arrival.
These procedures are meant to serve as a guide. Common sense should dictate that personnel are
not expected to enter smoke filled or fire involved areas. Once out of the building, employees
may not reenter until notified by the fire department. Department Heads, or their designees, will
be responsible for ascertaining whether all members of their departments have left the building
and informing the fire department of anyone who appears to be missing.
86
Section 8.10 – Business Credit Card
This policy has been established for the acquisition and use of business credit cards.
The following City Departments are eligible to obtain individual credit cards in the name of the
City of Muskego for use by their respective Department:
Assessor
Community Development
Finance & Administration
Information Technology
Library
Mayor
Municipal Court
Parks & Recreation
Police
Public Works/Engineering
Each of the identified Department Heads shall work with the Finance & Administration
Department to apply for their individual card, which will have an established limit of $3,000 for
cards issued in the name of the Department Heads, Supervisors and Managers and $1,000 for
those issued in the name of a non-supervisory position. The Department Head shall be
responsible to insure the safekeeping and release of such card to their staff for authorized use.
In addition to authorized purchases, the City credit card may be used as identification to apply
for government rates and discounts, guarantee room reservations, pay for hotel lodging while on
City business and eliminate taxes where applicable.
Under no circumstances will the card be used to purchase gasoline for vehicles which are not
City owned or leased. City Vehicles should be refueled at the City owned pumping facilities.
Only when traveling outside of the metropolitan area should refueling City vehicles be charged
to the credit card.
Authorized City credit cards may be used for the purchase of meals only if proper receipts are
provided as proof of compliance with the City’s Travel policy. If at any time there are improper
meals charged to the City’s Card, this policy provision may be removed.
City credit cards shall not be used for clothing purchases under the clothing allowance
provisions. Authorized clothing purchase reimbursement claims should be processed through the
accounts payable or payroll system.
87
Non-City business charges are not permitted on any City of Muskego credit card.
All monthly credit card billings should be processed promptly to avoid any and all interest
charges. Signed receipts for expenditures must be attached to the monthly sta tement when
processed for payment.
Non-compliance to any of the above or misuse of the authorized credit card in anyway, may
result in a department or employee losing privileges of their card. Noncompliance may also
include discipline in accordance with the City of Muskego’s Code of Conduct and Discipline
policy, possibly up to and including dismissal.
88
Section 8.11 – Travel
The objective of this policy is to establish a procedure for billing travel, meeting and professional
development expenses to the City of Muskego. Authorized travel reimbursements are applicable
to Employees, Elected and Appointed Officials.

training, conferences and special events budgets, and must certify that funds are available. All
travel and mileage reimbursements for authorized travel shall be reviewed and approved by the
Department Head in accordance with regulations herein described.
Employee Responsibility
City employees are expected to exercise the same care in incurring expenses that they would if
traveling on personal business. Travel expenses that will be reimbursed are confined to those

The mode of travel must be identified when making a request to travel. The most reasonable and
economic mode of transportation should be selected, taking into account factors of distance,
expense, convenience and travel time.
Credit Cards Used for Travel
The City of Muskego’s Business Credit Card policy allows for the use of credit cards for
payment of travel related expenses. Invoices/receipts charged to a City credit card must be
provided when processed for payment.
Submission of Travel Reimbursement Requests
All employee reimbursement requests for travel expenses must be reviewed and approved by the
appropriate Department Head prior to submitting a claim to the Finance & Administration
Department for processing. Should a required receipt be lost or not obtained by the employee,
the employee should complete a signed statement explaining the circumstances and documenting
the expense. If the Department Head and Mayor deem the expense reasonable, it shall be
reimbursed to the requesting employee.
Travel Expense of Other Family Members
In the event an employee’s spouse, other family members and/or acquaintances accompany the
employee on City-related travel, the employee must bear all additional costs of transportation,
meals, conferences registration, etc.
In the case of lodging, the City will pay only the single room rate. A hotel room upgrade by the
employee is acceptable with the difference in room cost above the single rate is the sole
responsibility of the employee.
Local Meeting Expenses
Meeting expenses not requiring employee travel outside the metropolitan area are eligible for
reimbursement in accordance with the provisions of this section. If authorized by the appropriate
Department Head, employees may be reimbursed for meal costs related to local meetings with
outside groups which involve City business or concerns.
90
Section 8.12 – Tuition Reimbursement

on a case by case basis by the Finance Committee following a recommendation from the Mayor.
91

encourages professional development. This policy establishes a procedure for these events and
applies to all full and part-time employees.
Each department has a budget allowance for the expenditures involved. Department Head

institutions, workshops, seminars or special classes. The employee must provide details of the
professional development opportunity along with a list of anticipated expenses.
Employees are responsible for maintaining required and necessary certification statuses and
seeking appropriate recertification when necessary. The cost of certification or recertification
may be paid by the City on a Departmental basis.
92
Section 8.14 – Outside Employment
Employment with the City of Muskego by regular full and part-time employees should be
considered the employee’s primary employment. Secondary employment with other entities
must not conflict, whether real or implied, with the duties of the employee. The City has priority
call upon the services of its employees regardless of any conflict with secondary employment.
An employee who engages in secondary employment must clearly define themself as an
employee of the secondary employer and not act or treat themself as an employee or agent of the
City. Employees must still comply with all policies, rules and general expectations of conduct
when engaging in off-duty behavior regardless of such secondary employment.
The City may terminate the employment of an employee whose secondary employment
interferes with the performance of their work, creates a conflict of interest, or where such
employment negatively affects the image of the City or its employees . An employee will not be
permitted to work for another employer while on a leave of absence or while absent for illness
from the City.
Employees who engage in outside employment shall not conduct any business related to such
employment on City premises or during hours in which such employees are working for the City
or advertise their outside employment either directly or indirectly on City premises during work.
93
Section 8.15 – Conflicts of Interest / Non-Work Related Activities
Conflicts of Interest
The successful operation and reputation of the City of Muskego, its employees and leaders is
built upon the principles of fair dealing and ethical conduct of such officials and employees.
This policy prohibits City officials and employees from engaging in any illegal, dishonest or
unethical behavior. The City’s reputation for integrity and excellence requires careful
observation of all relevant laws and regulations, as well as regard for the highest standards of
conduct, trust and personal integrity.
No City official or employee shall engage in any business transaction with the City, or have a
financial or other personal interest, direct or indirect, which is incompatible with the proper
discharge of his or her official duties or will tend to impair his or her independenc e, judgment or
action in the performance of his or her official duties. Any official or employee who has a
financial interest, including employment, in any business entity entering into, proposing to enter
into or bidding on any transaction with the City, or who, as part of his or her official duties, will
be making an official decision or recommendation significantly affecting a business competitor,
client or regular customer, shall disclose such interest to the City.
No City official or employee, including persons or firms engaged to provide professional
services to the City, shall represent, for compensation, private interests before the employer
without disclosure of the private business relationship and without explicit consent of the City.
No City official or employee shall disclose or use confidential information of the City to advance
the financial or other private interest of the employee or others.
No City official or employee shall accept anything of value whether in the form of a gift, service
loan or promise from any person, who, to the employee's knowledge, has a direct financial
interest in any transaction or official business with the City, which may tend to impair his
independence of judgment or action in the performance of his official duties.
Non-Work Related Activities
Employees of the City of Muskego may only engage in non-work or personal activities during
authorized unpaid lunch or rest periods.
94
Section 8.16 – Solicitation & Distribution / Political Activities
Solicitation & Distribution
The solicitation of employees or distribution of materials to employees can often interfere with
normal operations of the City, reduce employee efficiency, annoy employees and citizens, and
pose a threat to security. For these reasons, the City limits solicitation and distribution on the
premises.
Individuals who are not employees of the City are prohibited from soliciting employees or
distributing materials to employees on the premises. This includes soliciting funds or
signatures, conducting membership drives, distributing literature or gifts, offering to sell
merchandise or services (except by representatives of vendors or potential vendors as authorized
by the City), or any other similar activity. All visitors are strictly prohibited from entering non-
public areas unless the Mayor grants permission.
Employees may engage in limited solicitation and distribution of materials to other employees,
on the premises, subject to the following guidelines. Solicitation or distribution of materials is
prohibited during the working time of either of the individuals making or receiving the
solicitation or distribution. "Working time" does not include an employee's authorized lunch or
rest period. Distribution of literature in a way that causes litter on prop erty is prohibited. Off-
duty employees may not return to the premises to solicit or distribute materials to employees.
Bulletin boards, newsletters, and other employer-provided group communication systems are
maintained solely for the City to communicate information to and from employees, post notices
required by law, and for other work-related purposes. Posting of unauthorized notices,
photographs, or other printed or written materials on those bulletin boards or other
communication systems is prohibited.
The City may authorize a limited number of fund drives by employees on behalf of charitable
organizations. Employee participation in such drives is completely voluntary. As a part of those
charitable fund drives, the City may permit a representative from the charitable organization to
make a presentation to employees. Employees seeking authorization for such a charitable fund
drive should contact the City Mayor’s office for permission.
The City has the right to monitor any permitted solicitation and distribution under this policy and
to modify or terminate in its sole discretion any such solicitation or distribution as becomes
necessary to minimize interference with work.
95
Political Activities
Employees will not be discriminated in favor or against because of political contribution,
permitted political activity or neutrality. Employees may not solicit, be solicited nor receive
political contributions or services on the job. Employees may not engage in any form of political
activity on-the-job. Employees may not engage in political activity off-the-job to such an extent
that it interferes with doing his/her job well.
96
Section 8.17 – Confidentiality
Because of an employee’s responsibilities at the City, an employee may have access to
confidential City, resident, personnel, or other sensitive information. This may include
information concerning a resident’s financial status, employee records and the City’s business
practices including purchasing and negotiating strategies. This sensitive information is to remain
confidential and not be disclosed to any personnel who do not have a legitimate business need to
know such information or to persons outside the City organization without the determination of
the Mayor or Department Heads as designated and authorized by the Mayor. All employees are
responsible for protecting the confidentiality of this information. A violation of this policy can
subject an employee to discipline, including discharge.
97
Section 8.18 – Personnel Records
Each employee has a personnel and confidential file. Information retained in the personnel files
include information such as address changes, and specific work-related information such as
application for employment, resume, performance evaluations, salary adjustments, job changes,
and other designated records.
Employee medical and sensitive (i.e.: documents containing social security number) information
will be maintained in the separate confidential file. The City will use employee medical
information only in a manner that is job-related and consistent with business necessity to the
extent required by law. Department Heads, Supervisors and managers may be informed
regarding necessary restrictions on the work or duties of the employee and necessary
accommodations.
Records of all personnel shall be considered confidential to the extent required by law. Records
shall be maintained in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations and
retained in accordance with the City’s record retention schedule.
An employee may request an opportunity to review the records in his or her personnel file that
the employee has a lawful right to review by submitting a written request to the Human Resource
Office. Requests for inspections will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time and within the
timeframes required by law and will be conducted in accordance with Wis. Stat. §103.13.
Personnel files may not be taken outside of the custody of the Human Resource Office.
Employees should refer all requests for personnel information concerning applicants, employees,
and past employees to the Human Resource Office. Employees are not permitted to provide
references on behalf of the City. Pursuant to request for references, the City may choose to
release only limited general information such as the position held and dates of employment. The
City may require the individual involved to provide a written consent, release and indemnity
agreement before the City will release additional information unless there are circumstances
warranting otherwise.
It is important that each employee’s personal information and decisions regarding benefit
selection be accurate at all times. Each employee is responsible to notify the Human Resource
Office promptly of any changes to the employee’s personnel file and personal contact
information or family information used for insurance and tax purposes.
98
Section 8.19 – Employer Property
It is the City's intent to provide its employees, during the course of their employment, with access
to and the use of various property and equipment for the purpose of conducting business for
the City. Employees should have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the use of the City's and
the public's property. The City may access its property with or without the prior consent or
knowledge of the employee to the extent permitted by law. City property is to be used judiciously
by employees at all times and only in the manner for which the City and public intends the
property to be used.

brought to the work place. The City does not assume liability for the loss, theft or damage of
personal property brought to the work place.
The City reserves the right to access, replace or utilize any of its property without prior
permission of the employee to whom it was provided to the extent permitted by law.
Circumstances warranting a need to access property in the employee's absence include, but are not
limited to, the following:
The need to search for business items or information.
To comply with applicable laws regarding review and disclosure of information.
Reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is engaging in illegal or improper

others.
For any other lawful reason.
Under these circumstances, employees may be required, upon the request of the City, to submit to
a search of any personal property brought onto the City's premises to the extent permitted by law.
99
Section 8.20 – Smoking Areas
The Wisconsin Clean Indoor Air Act, Section 101.123 of Wisconsin Statutes, established the
basic regulations for smoking in public buildings. The law designates areas in which smoking is
prohibited, such as public conveyances, educational facilities, offices, passenger elevators, and
any enclosed indoor area of a state, county, city, village, or town building. All City buildings are
"no smoking" facilities. Smoking is restricted to outdoor areas only.

Section 8.23 – Parking
It is the policy of the City to preserve public parking availability during regular business hours
for the use of visitors to City premises, minimize disruption and encourage City Hall employees
to use the provided parking areas as outlined below.
City Hall employees must utilize the north two rows of the parking lot median. After the north
section is full, employees may begin to use the south side of the median furthest from the
building. No employees will park in front of the building, abutting the sidewalk, or second
southerly row, unless that employee has received special permission from their Department Head
due to medical reasons, to facilitate carrying something large and/or heavy into/out of City Hall
or for some other substantiated reasons. When the circumstances no longer warrant special
parking privileges, the employee shall park their private vehicle as per this Policy.
During the ‘All Day Playground’ program in summer, employees shall not park in the northern
most rows from Veterans Memorial Park sign to the east corner.
Users of City-owned vehicles shall park in areas specifically designated for those vehicles.
121
Section 8.24 – Purchasing Policy
The City of Muskego Common Council has the authority for the management and control of the
City’s finances and thus all expenditures of City funds in accordance with Wisconsin State
Statute 62.11(5). The Common Council desires to expend City resources as efficiently and
responsibly with a purchasing policy that works toward obtaining goods and services that are of
high quality at the lowest cost. The guidelines and procedures established by the Common
Council for purchasing items and services are as follows:
1. This purchasing policy applies to all City expenditures and includes contracts for service,
labor, materials, supplies and equipment when said policy does not conflict with another
applicable law, rule, ordinance, contract, policy or similar requirement. Items within an
approved budget are not considered exempt from this policy.
2. Each Department Head shall be responsible for authorizing day-to-day purchases for their
respective departments. This authority may be delegated to other employees within the
department however ultimate responsibility for purchasing rests with the Department Head.
3. It is the responsibility of the Department Heads to monitor compliance with the City’s
purchasing policies and procedures. Department Heads verify that the documentation is
complete, applicable bidding requirements have been met (if applicable), budget authority
exists, account number to be charged is appropriate, and there is a need for the purchase.
Review of this is evidenced by name and date on the voucher approval form to the City
Council and/or Committee.
4. Purchases shall be requested only when adequate funds remain in the approved budgeted
expenditure category or fund to cover the cost of such purchases except in unusual or
unforeseen circumstances.
5. Whenever practicable, three (3) informal bids shall be obtained for non-customary and non-
routine purchases at the discretion of the Department Head. The Department Head
requesting the expenditure shall state his/her recommendation for which quote to accept,
why and identify the line item of their department budget from which the funds will be
drawn when the City is invoiced for the purchase.
6. Purchasing shall be done when possible with written orders. Written orders shall be signed
or initialed by the Department Head prior to the order being placed/expenditure being made.
122
7. In cases where it is not practical to use a written (purchase) order (i.e. small materials or
supplies needs on a day to day basis), items may be charged by authorized personnel within
the Department. Use of City issued business credit cards shall be in accordance with the
City’s policy on the use of City issued business credit cards.
8. Bills/invoices/statements shall be initialed by the Department Head of the department
responsible for the purchase prior to the bill/invoice being processed for payment by the
Finance & Administration Department to ensure satisfaction and that items were received as
ordered and invoiced.
9. All contracts for professional services and public works contracts as defined by Wisconsin
State Statute 62.15 (12) shall be specifically reviewed by the City Attorney as a condition of
approval and prior to execution. Maintenance agreements shall be reviewed by staff prior to
renewal and in consultation with the Mayor to ensure costs are being reviewed and
controlled in the best interests of the City.
a. Selection of vendors for professional services and construction contracts should
take into consideration the overall value of such contracts including:
1. Continuity of the various phases of a project.
2. Operational efficiencies
3. Level of expertise in related services.
4. Scope of services.
b. Individual change orders on construction or similar contracts will be subject to the
following thresholds for approval of contracts for services:
1. Under $10,000 – Department Head
2. $10,000 - $25,000 – Department Head and Finance & Admin. Director
3. $25,000 - $50,000– Department Head, Finance & Admin. Director and Mayor
4. $50,000 or up to 10% of budgeted construction projects only (whichever is
greater) – Department Head, Finance & Admin. Director and Mayor
5. Over $50,000 – Common Council (with exception to #4)
c. Due to the cost-benefit to the City, it is understood the use of the same vendors
for professional services and contracts including those for attorney, engineering,
financial advisors, information technology, assessment maintenance and
insurance carriers may carry over from year to year without seeking competitive
bids when it is deemed to be in the public interest.
10. It is hereby noted, in regard to public construction projects, public bidding law shall be
followed as required in Wisconsin State Statute 62.15.
123
11. It is hereby noted, certain Public Service Commission rules and Administrat ive Codes shall
be followed that require Public Utility Committee approval of expenditures from segregated
utility accounts.
12. Approval authority for purchasing shall be as follows:
a. For items/services (purchases) that were included in the Common Council
approved budget, excludes purchases within approved contractual agreements, for
the fiscal year -
1. Purchases up to the public bidding requirements (currently $25,000)
shall be approved by the Department Head.
2. Purchases between $25,000 and $50,000 shall be approved by the Mayor
prior to the order being placed or expenditure being made. The
Department Head desiring to make the purchase shall make a
recommendation concerning such purchase to the Mayor.
3. Purchases exceeding $50,000 shall be approved by the Common Council
prior to the order being placed or expenditure being made. The
Department Head/Mayor desiring to make the purchase shall make a
recommendation concerning such purchases.
4. Should the purchase amount exceed the original budgeted amount, the
change will be subject to the thresholds listed in 9 (b) above.
5. Purchases included in the approved budget may carry over into future
years due to timing issues or unforeseen events.
b. For items/services (purchases) that exceed the authorized departmental
expenditure budget or budget category, the following thresholds for approval are
to be used:
1. Purchases up to $1,000 shall be approved by the Department Head.
2. Proposed purchases exceeding $1,000 and up to $2,500 shall be
approved by the Mayor based on a recommendation from the
Department desiring to make the purchase prior to the order being
placed or expenditure being made.
3. Proposed purchases exceeding $2,500 and up to $5,000 shall be
approved by the Finance Committee based on a recommendation from
the Department Head and the Mayor prior to the order being placed or
expenditure being made.
4. Proposed purchases exceeding $5,000 shall be approved by the Finance
Committee and the Common Council prior to the order being placed or
expenditure being made. Such proposed purchase must be based on a
recommendation by the Department Head desiring to make the purchase
and the Mayor.
124
Ordinary budget amendment procedures must be followed for non-budgeted
purchases which exceed the General Operating expenditure category in its
entirety.
13. In the case of an emergency or where a mechanical failure or vehicle repair occurs,
Department Heads may proceed with the expenditure or change order without prior approval
of the Finance Committee but with the approval of the Mayor unless this policy is in conflict
with another applicable law, rule, ordinance, contract, policy or similar requirement.
Should the Mayor be unavailable, notification shall be made to the Council President as
soon as is practical.
125
Section 9.1 – Code of Conduct & Discipline
Standards for Conduct
It is the City’s objective to promote the well-being of its employees in the workplace and to
maintain high standards of professional conduct and work performance. The purpose of this
policy is to state the City’s general approach to administering equitable and consistent discipline
for unsatisfactory conduct and identify various forms of misconduct which may warrant
discipline up to and including termination of employment.
To ensure orderly operations and provide the best possible work environment, the City of
Muskego expects employees to follow rules of conduct that will protect the interests and safety
of all employees and the organization.
Nothing in this policy shall be construed as establishing a “just cause” standard for discipline or
discharge of employees or to require the City to impose progressive discipline. Likewise, the
City’s use of any form of progressive discipline does not change any employee’s status as an at -
will employee or create any additional contractual rights. If and to the extent that any provision
contained herein conflicts with any statute, law, and contract or collective bargaining agreement
in effect, the statute, law, contract or collective bargaining agreement shall prevail. All
employees are covered under this policy.

Discipline Procedure
This procedure applies to all employees of the City with the exception of sworn Police
Department employees who fall under the authority of the Chief of Police and the Police
Commission.
The City reserves the right to determine whether any other conduct is contrary to the interests
of the City and warranting of disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
Under normal circumstances, City Department Heads are expected to follow the procedure
outlined below. There may be particular situations, however, in which the seriousness of the
offense justifies the omission of one or more of the steps in the procedure. There may also be
times when the City may decide to repeat a disciplinary step.
127
Unacceptable conduct which does not lead to immediate dismissal may be dealt with using the
following steps in progression if conduct does not improve within established time periods:
1.Oral reminder - The Department Head meets with the employee to discuss the problem or
violation, why it is a violation and what the expected remedy is.
2.Written warning or Corrective Action Plan (Guidelines available upon request to Human
Resource Office).
3.Decision making paid leave/counseling session – This is a one (1) to three (3) day paid
suspension depending on the severity of the unacceptable conduct. Employees on this
leave are spending a day away from work to decide whether to commi t towards
correcting the immediate problem and to conform to all of the City’s practices, rul es and
standards of conduct. Following the decision making period, the employee shall meet
with their Department Head and Mayor, and/or appropriate Board to discuss their
decision to correct the problem and commit to acceptable performance in every area of
the job or to quit. If the employee commits to correcting the problem, the Department
Head shall create a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) detailing the expectations and
consequences of failing to meet the commitment. The employee must sign the CAP to
acknowledge receipt. Refusal to sign will be documented. The original CAP will be
forwarded to the Human Resource Office for placement in the employee’s personnel file.
If positive behavior does not occur, employee fails to meet expectations, or if another
disciplinary issue occurs within an established period of time, the employee will be
terminated.
4.Termination – Employees who are unwilling to commit to the City’s practices, rules and
standards of conduct, or fail to meet the expectations of a CAP will be terminated.
Immediate or Crisis Suspension
An employee who commits any of the actions listed below, or any other action not specified, but
similarly serious, will be suspended without pay pending an investigation of the situation.
Following the investigation the employee may be terminated without any previous disciplinary
action having been taken. Should an employee be suspended without pay pending an
investigation, and the investigation clears the employee, the employee shall be paid for pay lost
while on suspension.
1.Theft
2.Falsification of City records
3.Failure to follow safety practices
4.Threat of or the act of doing bodily harm
5.Willful or negligent destruction of property
128
The City will provide pre-suspension and termination hearings as required by law. The City
reserves the right to prosecute any employees for any of the above.
Grievance and Employee Rights Related to the Discipline Procedure (Appeals)
For employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, the appeal procedure is as set forth
in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
For non-represented employees, an appeal process has been established within the City
Grievance Policy.
129
Section 9.2 – Harassment and Discrimination in the Workplace
Purpose
The City of Muskego is proud of its professional work environment and committed to
maintaining a collegial workplace in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.
The purpose of this policy is to maintain a healthy work environment in which all individuals are
treated with respect and dignity and to provide procedures for reporting, investigating and
resolving complaints of harassment and discrimination.
Policy
It is the policy of the City of Muskego that all employees have the right to work in an
environment free of all forms of harassment. The City of Muskego will not tolerate, condone, or
allow harassment by any employee or other non-employees who conducts business with the City.
The City of Muskego considers harassment, discrimination of others and the retaliation against
any employee for filing a complaint, to be forms of serious employee misconduct. Therefore, the
City shall take direct and immediate action to prevent such behavior, and to remedy all reported
instances of harassment, discrimination or retaliation. A violation of this City policy can lead to
discipline up to and including termination, with repeated violations, even if “minor,” resulting in
greater levels of discipline as appropriate.
Prohibited Activity
1. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors
and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
a. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term of
condition of employment; or
b. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an employee is used as the basis for
employment decisions affecting the employee; or
c. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
employee’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
working environment.
2. Harassment is any verbal, written, visual or physical act that creates a hostile,
intimidating or offensive work environment or interferes with an individual’s job
performance.
a. No employees shall either explicitly or implicitly ridicule, mock, deride, or
belittle any person.
130
3. Discrimination is a form of harassment based on race, color, sex, religion, age, disability,
sexual orientation or national origin. Such harassment is a prohibited form of
discrimination under state and federal employment law and/or is also considered
misconduct subject to disciplinary action by the City.
a. Employees shall not make offensive or derogatory comments to any person, either
directly or indirectly, based on race, color, sex, religion, age, disability, sexual
orientation, or national origin.
b. Derogatory racial, ethnic, religious, age, sexual orientation, sexual or other
inappropriate remarks, slurs, or jokes will not be tolerated.
4. Retaliation is when an employee who brings a complaint to the attention of the City in
good faith will not be adversely affected as a result of reporting the harassment. Any
employee found to have retaliated against another employee for reporting unprofessional
conduct, including sexual or other unlawful harassment will be subject to appropriate
discipline.
a. Retaliation against any employee for filing a harassment or discrimination
complaint, or for assisting, testifying, or participating in the investigation of such
a complaint, is illegal and is prohibited by this City and by federal statutes.
b. Retaliation is a form of employee misconduct. Any evidence of retaliation shall
be considered a separate violation of this policy and shall be handled by the same
complaint procedures established for harassment and discrimination complaints.
c. Monitoring to ensure that retaliation does not occur is the responsibility of the
Mayor, supervisors and the appropriate internal investigative authority.
Covered Individuals
Individuals covered under this policy include employees and applicants for employment,
volunteers, members of the public, elected officials and appointed boards and commissions.
Procedures
1. Supervisory Responsibilities
a. Each supervisor shall be responsible for preventing prohibited activities as defined
above.
i. Monitoring the work environment on a daily basis for signs that harassment
may be occurring;
ii. Training and counseling all employees on what constitutes harassment and
sexual harassment, on the types of behavior prohibited the City’s policy and
procedures for reporting and resolving complaints of harassment.
131
iii. Stopping any observation that may be considered harassment, and taking
appropriate steps to intervene, whether or not the involved employees are
within his/her line of supervision; and
iv. Taking immediate action to prevent retaliation towards the complaining party
or witnesses and to eliminate the hostile work environment where there has
been a complaint of harassment, pending investigation. If a situation requires
separation of the parties, care should be taken to avoid actions that appear to
punish the complainant. Transfer or reassignment of any of the parties
involved should be voluntary if possible and, if non-voluntary, should be
temporary pending the outcome of the investigation.
b. Each supervisor has the responsibility to assist any employee who comes to that
supervisor with a complaint of harassment in documenting and filing a complaint
with the internal investigations authority as designated by this agency.
c. Failing to carry out these responsibilities will be considered in any evaluation or
promotional decisions and may be grounds for discipline.
i. In striving to maintain a workplace that is free from harassment, the City
prohibits an individual who is employed in a supervisory/exempt position
from engaging in any intimate or other romantic relationship with any
subordinate employee, whether exempt or non-exempt, who reports directly to
him/her. This prohibition extends to relationships both at and away from the
workplace. Upon proper investigation, and with due consideration for the
privacy of our employees, the City reserves the right to determine whether a
relationship is in violation of this policy.
2. Employee Responsibilities
a. Each employee is responsible for assisting in the prevention of harassment through the
following acts:
i. Refraining from participation in, or encouragement of actions that could be
perceived as harassment.
ii. Reporting acts of harassment to a supervisor; and
iii. Encouraging any employee who confides that he or she is being harassed or
discriminated against to report these acts to a supervisor.
b. Failure of any employee to carry out the above responsibilities will be considered in any
performance evaluation or promotional decisions and may be grounds for discipline.
132
3. Complaint Procedures
a. Any employee encountering harassment is encouraged but not required to inform the
person that his or her actions are unwelcome and offensive. This initial contact can be
either verbal or in writing. The employee is to document all incidents of harassment in
order to provide the fullest basis for investigation.
b. Any employee who has unsuccessfully attempted to terminate the harassment by means
of section (a) and who believes that he or she is being harassed shall report the incident(s)
as soon as possible to their supervisor so that steps may be taken to protect the employee
from further harassment, and so that appropriate investigative and disciplinary measures
may be initiated. Where doing so is not practical, the employee may instead file a
complaint with another Supervisor, Human Resources Representative or Mayor
i. The supervisor or other person to whom a complaint is given shall meet with the
employee and document the incident(s) complained of, the person(s) performing
or participating in the harassment, any witnesses to the incident(s) and the date(s)
on which it occurred.
c. An employee should utilize the City’s internal reporting procedure first. However , if
after utilizing this procedure the complainant does not feel the complaint has been
adequately addressed, the employee may file a complaint with either or both of the
following:
i. State of Wisconsin Equal Rights Agency
201 East Washington Avenue
Madison, WI 53703
Phone: (608) 266-6860
ii. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
210 Martin Luther King Boulevard
Madison, WI 53703
Phone: (608) 266-4910
If the employee exercises the reporting options of (1) or (2) from above, they must file a
copy of the complaint with the Mayor within 24 hours of filing of the complaint.
d. The investigative authority shall be the reporting supervisor defined in V3.b or as
determined by the Mayor.
133
e. The internal investigation authority shall be responsible for investigating any complaint
alleging harassment or discrimination and compiling an appropriate written report.
i. The internal investigative authority shall immediately notify the Chief of Police if
the complaint contains evidence of criminal activity, such as battery, or sexual
assault.
ii. The investigation shall include a determination as to whether the person is
harassing other employees, and whether other City employees participated in or
encouraged the harassment.
iii. The internal investigative authority shall inform the parties involved of the
outcome of the investigation.
iv. A file of harassment and discrimination complaints shall be maintained in a
secure location.
f. The complaining party’s confidentiality will be maintained throughout the investigatory
process to the extent practical and appropriate under the circumstances. An employee
reporting a complaint or becoming involved in an investigation is obligated to treat the
matter confidentially outside the investigation.
134
Section 9.3 – Grievance
Discipline
Discipline may result when an employee’s actions do not conform with generally accepted
standards of good behavior, when an employee violates a policy or rule, when an employee’s
performance is not acceptable, or when the employee’s conduct is detrimental to the interests of
the City of Muskego. Disciplinary action may call for any of four steps – verbal warning,
written warning, suspension (with or without pay) or termination of employment – depending on
the problem and the number of occurrences. There may be circumstances when one or more
steps are bypassed. Certain types of employee problems are serious enough to justify either a
suspension or termination of employment without going through progressive discipline steps.
Disciplinary actions such as oral or written evaluations, counseling, meetings, coaching, placing
employee on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation and a change in job
assignments should be excluded. The City of Muskego reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to impose disciplinary action as may be appropriate to the particular circumstances as outlined in
the City Employee Code of Conduct and Discipline Policy.
Grievance Procedure
This policy is intended to comply with Section 66.0509, Wis. Stats., and provides a grievance
procedure addressing issues concerning workplace safety, discipline and termination. This policy
applies to all employees covered under Section 66.0509, Wis. Stats., other than police and fire
employees subject to Section 62.13(5), Wis. Statutes and grievance procedure within Article 5 of
the Muskego Police Association agreement. An employee may appeal any level of discipline
under this grievance procedure. For purposes of this policy, the following definitions apply:
1. "Employee discipline" includes all levels of progressive discipline, but shall not include
the following items:
Placing an employee on paid administrative leave pending an internal
investigation;
Counseling’s, meetings or other pre-disciplinary action;
Actions taken to address work performance, including use of a performance
improvement plan or job targets;
Demotion, transfer or change in job assignment; or
Other personnel actions taken by the employer that are not a form of progressive
discipline.
135
2. "Employee termination" shall include action taken by the employer to terminate an
individual's employment for misconduct or performance reasons, but shall not include the
following personnel actions:
3.
Voluntary quit;
Layoff or failure to be recalled from layoff at the expiration of the recall period;
Retirement;
Job abandonment, “no-call, no-show”, or other failure to report to work; or
Termination of employment due to medical condition, lack of qualification or
license, or other inability to perform job duties.
4. "Workplace safety” is defined as conditions of employment affecting an employee’s
physical health or safety, the safe operation of workplace equipment and tools, safety of
the physical work environment, personal protective equipment, workplace violence, and
training related to same.
Any written grievance filed under this policy must contain the following information:
The name and position of the employee filing it,
A statement of the issue involved,
A statement of the relief sought,
A detailed explanation of the facts supporting the grievance;
The date(s) the event(s) giving rise to the grievance took place,
The identity of the policy, procedure or rule that is being challenged;
The steps the employee has taken to review the matter, either orally or in writing,
with the employee’s supervisor; and
The employee’s signature and the date.
Steps of the Grievance Procedure
Employees should first discuss complaints or questions with their immediate supervisor. Every
reasonable effort should be made by supervisors and employees to resolve any questions,
problems or misunderstandings that have arisen before filing a grievance.
1. Step 1 – Written Grievance Filed with the Department Head. The employee must prepare
and file a written grievance with the Department Head within five (5) business days of
when the employee knows, or should have known, of the events giving rise to the
grievance. The Department Head or his/her designee will investigate the facts giving rise
to the grievance and inform the employee of his/her decision, if possible within ten (10)
business days of receipt of the grievance. In the event the grievance involves the
Department Head, the employee may initially file the grievance with the City Mayor who
shall conduct the Step 1 investigation.
136
2. Step 2 – Review by City Mayor. If the grievance is not settled at Step 1, the employee
may appeal the grievance to the City Mayor within five (5) business days of the receipt of
the decision of the department head at Step 1. The City Ma yor or his/her designee will
review the matter and inform the employee of his/her decision, if possible within ten (10)
business days of receipt of the grievance. In the event the grievance involves the Mayor,
the employee may appeal the grievance to the City Council President who shall conduct
the Step 2 investigation.
3. Step 3 – Impartial Hearing Officer. If the grievance is not settled at Step 2, the employee
may request in writing, within five (5) business days following receipt of the City Mayor
or Council President’s decision, a request for written review by an impartial hearing
officer. The City Finance Committee shall select the impartial hearing officer. The
hearing officer shall not be a City employee. In all cases, the grievant shall have the
burden of proof to support the grievance. The impartial hearing officer will determine
whether the City acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner. This process does not
involve a hearing before a court of law; thus, the rules of evidence will not be followed.
Depending on the issue involved, the impartial hearing officer will determine whether a
hearing is necessary, or whether the case may be decided based on a submission of
written documents. The impartial hearing officer shall prepare a written decision.
4. Step 4 – Review by the Governing Body If the grievance is not resolved after Step 3, the
employee, City Mayor or Council President shall request within five (5) business days of
receipt of the written decision from the hearing officer a written review by the Governing
Body. For Library employees, the appeal shall be filed with the Library Board. For all
other employees, the appeal shall be filed with the City Common Council. The City
Common Council shall not take testimony or evidence; it may only determine whether
the hearing officer reached an arbitrary or incorrect result based on a review of the record
before the hearing officer. The matter will be scheduled for the City Common Council’s
next regular meeting. The City Common Council will inform t he employee of its
findings and decision in writing within ten (10) business days of the City Common
Council meeting. The City Common Council shall decide the matter by majority vote
and this decision shall be final and binding.
An employee may not file a grievance outside of the time limits set forth above. If the employee
fails to meet the deadlines set forth above, the grievance will be considered resolved. If it is
impossible to comply with the deadlines due to meeting notice requirements or meeting
preparation, the grievance will be reviewed at the next possible meeting date. An employee will
not be compensated for time spent in processing his/her grievance through the various steps of
the grievance procedure.
137
Section 9.4 – Separation of Employment
The City of Muskego will consider an employee to have voluntarily terminated employment if he
or she does any of the following:
1.Resigns from the City
2.Fails to return from an approved leave of absence on the date specified for return
3.Fails to report to work or call in for three (3) or more consecutive work days
An employee may be terminated for poor performance, misconduct, excessive absences,
tardiness, discrimination, harassment or other violations of City policies.
If an hourly employee decides to leave employment, the employee is requested to advise the
Department Head in writing at least two (2) weeks prior to his or her date of departure. A
professional/exempt employee is requested to advise the Department Head in writing at least
thirty (30) days prior to his or her date of departure. Failure to give such notice may result in
forfeiting all fringe benefits. The City reserves its right to terminate the employee before that
date.
All property of the City must be returned to the City in appropriate condition prior to the
employee’s last day of work. In all cases of separation of employment, an exit interview will be
conducted by the City. Every effort will be made to conduct the exit interview during the last
day of employment, if this is not possible the exit materials will be mailed to the employee
An employee who resigns or who is terminated will receive his or her final paycheck on his or
her next regularly scheduled payday. The Employee is encouraged to meet with the Human
Resources Office prior to their departure to review information regarding insurance continuation
and other benefit plans.
Employees affected by position eliminations shall receive a payment of twenty-five hours per
years of service and three months of the full health insurance premium cost or heal th allowance,
whichever is in effect as of the position elimination date. Release of such payment is conditional
upon the affected employee signing a Separation Agreement and General Release (see Article
10, section 4) and complying with the terms of such Agreement.

General Information for Newly Elected Council
It’s the responsibility of each council member to come to the meetings fully prepared. This
means that you should be reading through the entire packet of information made available to
you. If you have any questions regarding the information please contact city department heads
to research the answer to your question prior to the meeting. Contact names can be found in
the links on the Orientation page of this manual.
Department heads are professionals in their related fields. They are one of your best sources of
information about an item on the agenda. Council members are encouraged to contact
department heads with questions. However, in order to make meetings more efficient and
provide full information about agenda items, council members should contact department heads
with their question(s) prior to the meeting at which such question(s) will be asked. This will
allow the department head time to perform thorough research necessary to answer the question.
The City of Muskego is fortunate enough to have very dedicated, loyal and intelligent
employees who are extremely knowledgeable in their employment positions. Be supportive to
all employees, they are the ones who make this city operate smoothly on a daily basis.
Remember that work is not assigned by an individual alderperson, rather, the assignment of
work comes from the common council, a committee (or board or commission) or the Mayor.
Listen courteously and keep an open mind to all views when members of the gallery, staff or
alderpersons are speaking. Treat everyone with respect, just as you would want to be treated.
Arrive at all meetings on time. If you will be unable to attend or will be late, email the Mayor,
City Clerk, or Chairperson of the Committee.
If you feel you have a conflict of interest on a certain vote, you may abstain from voting on that
issue. You should also abstain from discussion on this issue. Should you have any questions
regarding a conflict of interest, please consult with the City Attorney before the vote.
Keep your comments concise to the topic that is being discussed.

Section 10.4 – Sample Forms
Interview Document – Questions Not to Ask
When conducting job interviews, it's important to ask the right questions to get the information you
need to see if the person you're interviewing is a good fit for the job. But it's also important to know
what not to ask, in other words, what the various employment laws say you can't ask or what might
suggest to an outsider that you're considering an impermissible trait in evaluating candidates.
As a general rule of thumb, all of your questions should be directly related to the job in question and
the job duties the applicant would be required to perform if hired. Of course, you need to steer clear
of asking applicants about their age, race, color, sex, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy,
and other protected classifications.
While it would be impossible to create an exhaustive list of "no-no" questions, the following should
give you an idea of what to avoid. Don't ask:
What is your age? What is your date of birth? When did you graduate from high school? (But
you can ask applicants whether they're at least a certain age, if they're minors, to verify
eligibility to work.)
What is your race, color, religion, or national origin? Were you born in the U.S.? What
country are your parents from? Is English your primary language? Are you a U.S. citizen?
(Instead ask whether applicants are eligible to work in the United States.)
Do you have any disabilities of any kind? (Instead ask if applicants can perform the job
functions at issue.)
Does anyone in your family have a disability for which you have to provide care?
Have you ever been treated by a psychologist or a psychiatrist?
Are you taking any prescription medications?
Have you ever been treated for a drug addiction or alcoholism?
Are you married, single, or divorced?
How many children do you have? Who's going to care for them while you're at work?
Are you pregnant? How long do you plan to take off with the baby?
When do you plan to start a family?
Do you have your own car? (Don't ask unless it's job related, instead ask if the person has
reliable transportation to get to work.)
Have you ever sued a former employer?
Are you a union member? What is your stance on union membership?
How many sick days did you take off work last year?
Do you observe the Sabbath or any days that would interfere with this job schedule?
Have you ever filed a workers' compensation claim?
Did you receive anything other than an honorable discharge from the military?
Do you own your own home?
What is your credit history or credit score? (Don't ask about credit history unless it relates to
the job in question, and always comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act if you're unning a
credit or background check. Good credit requirements have been challenged as discriminatory
because they may have an adverse impact on minorities).

PARKS & RECREATION BOARD
Monday, July 8, 2013
Approved 8/12/13
Board President Whipple called the monthly meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board (Board), City of Muskego, to order
at 5:30 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Those present recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
The meeting notice was posted in accordance with the Open Meeting Law on Wednesday, July 3, 2013.
Present: Mr. Jerald Hulbert, Mr. Brett Hyde, Mrs. Kelly Koble, Mr. Paul Peardon, Ald. Dan
Soltysiak, Mr. Toby Whipple and Director Anderson.
Absent: Mr. “Butch” LeDoux (excused)
GUESTS: Ald. Borgman, Ald. Kubacki, Cheryl Kovacovich, Ms. Bennett
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
June 10 Minutes
Mr. Peardon moved to approve the minutes of the June 10 meeting, seconded by Mrs. Koble. Upon a voice vote,
the motion to approve carried.
COMMUNICATIONS:
Use of Lake Access #16 for Wedding
Cheryl Kovacovich presented her request for usage of Lake Access #16 for her daughter’s wedding celebration on
September 21. Director Anderson advised the Board members that they had previously used the lake access for another
wedding celebration. There were no adverse issues that occurred. Mr. Hulbert moved to approve the request with the
same caveats as in the previous approval. Mrs. Koble seconded. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried.
Bounce House Request
A written request was received from Kelly and Rob Totero to have an inflatable bounce house, 13’x13’, at their birthday
event at Bluhm Farm Park on July 14, 2013. Mr. Peardon moved to approve, seconded by Mr. Hyde. Upon a voice
vote, the motion carried.
Kurth Park Issues
Director Anderson reviewed the eMail from Ald. Wolfe relative to several issues at Kurth Park. He felt what initiated the
citizen’s concern was the Warriors’ use of the park for their tournament. Citizen complaint encompassed parking, vehicles
on the trail, selling things in the park. The citizen probably wasn’t used to seeing these things occurring in Kurth Park but
because of the tournament, it was written down. Two good ideas that the citizen came up with was (1) putting signs up at
the entrance off of Belmont indicating that parking is available off of Woods Road and (2) put signs up at both ends of the
trail stating no motorized vehicles. These signs have been ordered.
inutes, Parks & Recreation Board, July 8 2013, page 2
UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS:
Future Dog Park Agreement
Director Anderson presented a draft of a dog park agreement for future use. He noted that within the inventory of park
lands, there is nothing available that is 10 or more acres. The document listed the responsibilities of the volunteer group
and the city. The onus of the maintenance of a dog park would fall on the volunteer group. Ald. Soltysiak commented that
the paved parking lot would be a great expense and suggested there may be a park where the parking lot is already
available to use. The agreement should indicate the parking lot to be determined based on the location of a dog park. The
trail was also an item with paving to be determined. Mrs. Koble felt they could start with a traffic bond trail. The main
purpose for the document would be to have guidelines in place for any group inquiring about establishing a dog park.
Naming of Small Park
Brought up for discussion was the naming of the little park on Pioneer Drive. It was noted that if named after a person, the
name would have to remain for 100 years as outlined in Chapter 26. Board members will accept requests in writing from
individuals for their name for the park along with the reasoning behind the request. The information on the naming of the
park will be placed on Facebook and notice also given to the news media. The general public will have until a week before
the August 12 meeting to submit their choice of name.
WeEnergies Easement, Park Arthur
Board members reviewed the easement giving WeEnergies access to Park Arthur to install their electric and gas lines.
Director Anderson shared that the document will go before the Common Council on Tuesday. Mr. Hulbert moved to
approve, Mrs. Koble seconded. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried.
ALDERMAN’S REPORT: No report.
STATUS OF PROJECTS:
Park Arthur
Director Anderson shared that they have not started the lighting project yet as they are waiting on WeEnergies. Creative
Constructors already have their job trailer on site and have been excavating, putting footings in, etc. Substantial completion
has to be done by the end of October with the final being done in November. No real issues but they have been on site only
a week-and-a-half. Ball field construction should start mid-to-late August. The equestrian trail should be started this week.
Bob required some barricades to indicate when the trail is closed due to maintenance. Bob h ad been to three other

the added stalls would be for cars.

the 8th, Council on the 13th.
2013 Road Program – Because of the weather, the earliest they would be starting would be

NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Drainage Issue near Circle Drive & Richdorf Drive – Director Simpson advised
alternatives were evaluated to mitigate stormwater flooding in the Circle Drive and Richdorf
Drive area. These alternatives were studied as part of the MMSD’s Private Property
Inflow/Infiltration (PPII) reduction study. In February 2012 these findings were presented to
the Public Works Committee and the different options were discussed. At that time I was
appointed to work with land owners to see about installing a swale. I believe the owners will
not offer a voluntary grading/drainage easement for the swale. We are back here tonight to
2
discuss where to go from here. Per Director Simpson we have the swale option estimated
cost of $68,000-$102,000, installation of the box culvert estimated $468,000-$702,000. The
age of the pipe is about 25-30 years old, so it may need replacement at an approximate cost
of $175,000. Committee and land owners discussed the different options. The box culvert
was decided on. Ald. Borgman made a motion that we move forward with the 11-ft. wide by
4-ft. high section replacing the existing section with 11-ft. wide by 4-ft. high section and at
budget time we put the appropriate funds in the budget to cover it. Seconded by Ald.
Soltysiak. Motion carried 2-0.
Presentation of Woods Road & Moorland Road/Durham Drive Intersection Alternatives
Study – The intersection of Woods Road and Moorland Road is currently a four-way stop
per Director Simpson. A while back Public Works Committee discussed moving forward
with an intersection analysis to determine how our next best step would be. We hired
GRAEF to work on that study. The study is nearing completion. A representative from
GRAEF discussed three types of intersection traffic control including the existing all-way
stop, roundabout and traffic signals. Pros and cons were discussed. Director Simpson
stated that he applied for a grant that may allow for partial funding of the construction of a
roundabout. Ald. Borgman made a motion that we place the design funding and
construction funding into the Capital Improvement Budget tentatively for 2015 and 2016 for
the roundabout design on Woods Road and Moorland. Ald. Soltysiak seconded. Motion
carried 2-0.
Discuss Policy Regarding Maintenance of Subdivision Boulevard Entrance Islands - Director
Simpson advised staff has received complaints regarding the aesthetics of the subdivision
boulevard entrance on Sandalwood Drive. The majority of these types of islands are
maintained by their respective associations. Probably 95% of these are maintained very
nicely. The Sandalwood one has not formed an association. Staff would like the
Committee’s opinion on how to proceed in cases where maintenance is not being
completed. One option would be sending a letter to all owners in the subdivision asking that
maintenance be completed regularly and if not, plant grass or install a maintenance free
solution completed by the City. Ald. Borgman made a motion that we discuss with the
homeowners first, sending a letter to all owners in the subdivision asking that maintenance
be completed regularly by the owners as a group or an individual, and if not, install a
maintenance free solution that would be completed by the City when feasible. Seconded by
Ald. Soltysiak. Motion carried 2-0.
