PUBLIC APPEARANCE
UPDATES FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Chief Moser advised that a new officer will be starting on Monday, July 13, 2015. The
department is still down two officers and backgrounds are starting on two more candidates.
Over the 4th of July weekend, there were approximately 11 calls related to fireworks
complaints. The department will also be purchasing an automatic license plate reader (ALPR)
which will be affixed to one of the new squad cars. The purchase will be made with money
from the asset forfeiture account.
UPDATES FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Wojnowski advised the department has had a few large fires, one was a house fire. On
July 3, 2015 the department was called to a large controlled burn that needed to be
extinguished as it was outside of the ordinance requirements. He advisd the call was also on a
cul-de-sac which was filled with cars and it made it very difficult for the firetrucks to get
through. There were no fires that resulted from fireworks.
NEW BUSINESS
Run Times - Tess Corners Fire Department
The committee reviewed the run times and determined that after assessing each call as to
whether it was an emergency or non-emergency response call the times were within reason.
Alderman Kubacki asked if there was a way to provide some other type of format for easier
reading. Chief Wojnowski will check to see if there is another format that can be used. Chief
Wojnowski also advised that the department will be looking at run times each month, as
opposed to every three months, so they can stay on top of the times and it will be easier to
remember if there is a question on a certain call. There was no further questions or
discussion of the run times.
E-Cigarette Request - School Board
School Resource Officer Hendrickson was in attendance and advised that the e-cigarettes or
"hooka" pens are a problem no only on the school property, but occasionally in the
classrooms. SRO Hendrickson advised that the school has a policy against the items;
however, a one day suspension is not distracting the kids from breaking the rules again. There
are several kids who are repeat offenders. SRO Hendrickson feels that if there is an ordinance
against the electronic smoking devices, she would have the authority to issue a citation, which
would help prevent the violations from continuing to occur. The school property is smoke free
and the ordinance would be more directed towards the students than adult visitors to the
school. After some discussion and a recommendation from Chief Moser, the committee
agreed to recommend an amendment to Ordinance 9.26(4) with verbiage to be
determined. The item will be forwarded to common council with the reocmmendation of
amending the above ordinance.
Alderman Engelhardt made a motion to approve E-Cigarette Request - School Board,
Matt Johnson seconded. Motion passed 3 in favor.

TCVFD - Rescue Agreement
Chief Wojnowski presented the committee with a capital budget request for defibrillators that
are placed in the police squads to assist first responders at rescue calls. The request was for
14 defibrillators at a cost of $21,000.00. Mayor Chiaverotti advised that the rescue contract
was self-funded by the fire department as they do their own billing and the City will not pay for
the defibrillators. The Mayor suggested the fire department contact the billing company to
raise their fees to accommodate the need for the defibrillators. Jeff Verburgt explained that
75% of their rescue patients are on Medicare or Medicade and even if they raise prices, they
are only entitled to so much money per call. After a brief discussion, the committee felt the
defibrillators are a necessity and the service to the community should not be compromised.
Alderman Wolfe made a motion to amend the fire agreement to include the $21,000.00 in the
fire capital budget for the defibrillators and forward this recommendation to Common Council.
The fire Capital Budget for 2016 will include the $21,000.00 for a total of $98,000.00 instead of
$77,000.00 that was presented earlier. Representative Kuwitzky seconded, the motion
passed with all in favor.
Alderman Wolfe made a motion to amend, M. Kuwitzky seconded.
