Staff Memo to Parks and Conservation Committee
To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Muskego Community Festival Park Facility Request
Date: March 27, 2017
Attached is a request from the Muskego Community Festival group for their rental of
Veterans Memorial Park from August 21-August 29, 2017. The request is for 7:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m., however it has been indicated that is the time they will arrive on 8/22 to
the time the leave on 8/30. Park hours are asking to be extended to 11:30PM.
Also, attached is an email outlining information on parking plans with the anticipated
construction at city hall.
Recommendation for Action by Committee:
Recommend approval of the event with the following conditions:
1. Park Rental fee is waived for the dates of August 21-August 29.
2. Park hours are approved to extend to 11:30 p.m. on the nights of the festival:
August 24, 25, 26 and 27.
3. The Festival Committee will be utilizing an outside contractor to provide any
grounds maintenance needed prior to and at the conclusion of the event.
4. Renter would secure event insurance listing City of Muskego as an additional
insured with the dates of the event being from the day carnival vendors arrive
until August 29 when all festival items are gone.
5. Renter will have a dumpster placed alongside the parking lot on Pioneer Drive.
Said dumpster would be removed promptly by August 29 or daily park rental fees
will be charge to the festival committee until the dumpster is removed.
6. Discussion will take place in July in regards to alternate parking options for the
areas around city hall as construction begins.
7. Beer permits for the park as well as a liquor license will be secured no later than
August 11. This is to cover the carnival vendors on city grounds up to the start of
the festival (8/21-8/29). Once a copy of the selling of beer permit is received
from the City, please forward on a copy to the Recreation office to be placed with
your rental documents.
8. Carnival vendors who will be camping on park grounds, it is suggested that they

Page 2 of 2
9. The city will have the restrooms cleaned on August 20 after our rental and then
locked to the public. Restrooms will not be opened for carnival vendors. If park
users wish to use restrooms during the week leading up to the festival, they will
be able to access city hall during normal business hours, or if a festival committee
member is available, they can open the restroom for the resident. Festival staff
will make sure the restrooms are kept clean daily (including making sure all toilets
are flushed, paper products & hand soap are available and that the restrooms are
clean.)
10. Carnival vendors may not run hoses or power cords from Veterans Park Shelter
for hook-up for the personal water or electric. It is understood there is a need to
run water from the shelter to the shower facility for the carnival vendors. This
hose will be secured and taped down as it crosses over the paths to reduce the
risk of injury to park users.
11. Carnival vendors will be instructed prior to their arrival that there are no dogs
allowed in city parks and that includes the time they are on site overnight.

Staff Memo to Parks and Conservation Committee
To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Policy Change for Beer Permit
Date: March 27, 2017
Due to the amount of staff time both in office, out in the field and through the Police
Department to track beer permits and the increase in the number of permits issued
yearly, we would like to now charge a $5.00 fee for the permit for Muskego residents.
Currently, only non-residents of Muskego pay a fee of $10.00.
The money from the permits goes into the Recreation Department budget to help offset
the Park Ranger and Park Attendants at Idle Isle staff salaries.
Attached is the current Beer Permit Policy.
Muskego Parks and Recreation

TO ALL PEER PERMIT GRANTEES
FOR CONSUMPTION OF FERMENTED MALT BEVERAGES
IN CITY OF MUSKEGO PARKS
You have been granted a beer permit to consume fermented malt beverages in the City of
Muskego parks as requested. Because of recent Court decisions in Wisconsin dealing with
the potential liability your organization faces when you serve beer, the following checklist is
furnished to you in hopes that it will assist you in protecting your group from liability exposure.
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Seek advice from your organization’s attorney on the liability involved in dispensing beer.
2. Incorporate your organization as a non-profit corporation under Chapter 181, Wis. Stats. to
isolate your members from liability.
3. Obtain the best liability insurance your organization can afford. Be sure it covers liquor-
related liability.
4. Make sure all persons who are consuming beer are very familiar with Wisconsin liquor
laws. Identify youngsters and persons who should not be consuming fermented malt
beverages under the liquor laws.
5. Check with your own homeowners insurance company or your liability insurer as to whether
you are personally covered for such a happening.
6. WARNING: Even if you follow all of these recommendations and you are the person who
furnished a beer to an under-age person or an intoxicated person, you personally could still
be liable.
7. The issuance of this permit does not allow for the sale of beer. If the organization intends
to sell beer, a license must be obtained from the City Clerk-Treasurer’s office, City of
Muskego.

There are cheaper options for poles, but quality and wind rating become a question.
These are also list prices at this point. Once decided, I would look to get best pricing.
This is only for Flag poles, Flag and part needed.
This does NOT include installation or any feature for base of poles.
We should search Storm org first for installation and then landscaping the base ideas

WHEREAS, the M.A.A. and the Warriors use fields owned by the City on a yearly basis for Youth

January 1st for the upcoming year/season. M.A.A. and Warriors must then notify the
City by January 31st of the same year of their intention not to pay for a specific
maintenance item which in turn will not be completed. Failure to provide Notice as
stated herein shall be deemed as acceptance of the routine maintenance with the
respective Party responsible thereon.
G. All routine maintenance to all fields covered by this Agreement will be performed by
a vendor chosen by the City and paid for up front by the City. The M.A.A. and the
Warriors will then be invoiced in July upon completion of the season for their

Warriors shall pay their respective invoices to the City no later than August 31st of
the calendar year in which the payment was due. The M.A.A. or the Warriors will

field for these improvements is $4,750.00 for a total project cost of
$14,250.00 to be split equally between the M.A.A. and the City for a total of
$7,125.00 each. The M.A.A. shall pay its share of the costs to the City on or
before April 30, 2017. The M.A.A. will not be granted access to these fields

Any and all capital improvements contemplated herein shall be authorized by
the City. Capital improvements must be requested by the specific
Organization to the City by May 31st of the preceding year to meet City
budgeting timelines. If approved, the City will then bid out the work and in
its sole discretion, select a vendor to complete the work. Once the project is
complete to the satisfaction of the City, the City will pay the vendor and in
turn be reimbursed from the Organization that requested the capital
improvement. Said reimbursement shall be paid by the Organization to the
City no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Failure to
make timely payment may result in a denial of access to the field by the City
until the invoice is paid in full. The M.A.A. and Warriors acknowledge and
understand that change orders are often made to capital improvement projects
that may increase the cost of the overall improvement and agree to be
responsible for the total cost of the project including all change orders.

Staff Report to Parks and Recreation Board
To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Park Arthur Flag Pole Project with Muskego Storm
Date: March 27, 2017
The Muskego Storm sports program is requesting to place an area at Park Arthur to
house 3 flag poles by the smaller three fields. This is something the board/committee
has discussed in the past. The Storm will be paying for all of the equipment, installation
and surrounding surface materials. Standards are 10-12 feet between each flag pole, so
this will be a substantial footprint.
Attached are the poles types/prices the Storm Board has approved as well as some of
their budget numbers. There is also a map of the suggested areas of placement.
Based on an agreement we now have with The MAA/Storm and Warriors, for
maintenance or improvements within the parks/ballfields, the project would be
overseen and paid for by the City with the Storm providing the funds to the City before
the project starts. (The Agreement is attached for your reference.)

Staff Report to Parks and Recreation Board
To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Idle Isle Parking Fee Change
Date: March 27, 2017
With the installation of two parking pay stations at Idle Isle and the inability to find a
machine that can take payments based on residency a discussion needs to be had on
the current fee structure of $1.00 for Muskego residents and $4.00 for non-Muskego
residents and how to find a fee structure that is appropriate for each group to pay the
same fee.
Currently Waukesha County charges $4.00 for a daily parking fee at any of their parks.
The increase revenue from parking only will be used to off -set the seasonal staff salaries
of those working at Idle Isle.

To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Update of Water Bug Pier and Jump Placement

Please find attached the approved agreements for both Water Bugs ski jump placement
and pier placement. As there were no changes to the agreement and no violations from
2016, the agreements were already approved by Common Council.
Secondly, please find attached the Water Bugs Ski Team practice and show dates
document. The Water Bugs are requesting the same number of practices and shows as
2016.

Memorandum
To: Parks and Conservation Committee
From: Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti
Date: 3/30/2017
This memo is to update the Committee on two matters as noted below.
1. At the March 28th Council meeting, the Council approved the creation of the
Public Works and Development Department combining the functions of the
existing Public Works and Community Development. This measure is to provide
more efficiency, order, and transparency to better meet the City’s current and
future needs. Also approved was the job description for the Public Works and
Development Director. The new position will be posted commencing the
search to fill the position.
Parks maintenance continues as is through Public Works with engineering
services through our contracted service with Graef USA. Parks Planning will be
within the overall department as it currently stands. The new Director will
determine which employee will handle related tasks within the department.
With the City now fulfilling a park in the southeastern section of the City,
Sandhill Park, parks planning will not be as critical in the short term.
2. This is just a reminder that when the Parks Board and Conservation Committee
were merged two years ago it increased from 5 members to 7 members. City
Ordinance requires it to return to 5 members commencing May 1st, 2017.
Your continued service is greatly appreciated in that it aids the City in offering quality, safe,
and affordable programs and facilities for recreation activities.

Re: City Forester/Conservation Coordinator Report
Below is an update of projects related to Lakes, Forestry, and Conservation:
.A contractor has been selected to plant 88 trees within 9 parks this spring and 12 replacement trees on
Janesville Road. Because the quote for the project was reasonably low and a grant had also been
acquired there were funds remaining to move forward with the project below…
The Muskego Gridiron Club has generously offered to do a community project and will help plant trees
at the new Sand Hill Park. The City Forester developed a plan and ordered 27 wholesale trees. This
project will be held April 26 and qualify as an Arbor Day event for Tree City USA. In this regard,
Muskego was recently designated as a “Tree City” for the eighteenth consecutive year!
Restoration plans at Holz Preserve are moving forward. This past winter approximately 15 acres were
dormant seeded with a diversity of native wildflowers and grasses. A contractor will be excavating
some shallow “scrape” ponds later this year to restore wetland areas on the site. Some native trees
and shrubs have been ordered and will be planted with volunteer help from the High School science
club in spring. Muskego Lakes Conservancy is donating $500 toward tree planting and up to $500 to
acquire a sign for this conservation site.
Conservation Coordinator is working with Ducks Unlimited and Wisconsin DNR staff to implement
another wetland restoration project on Big Muskego Lake State Wildlife Area lands this year. This
project will utilize Muskego’s “Green Solutions” grant from the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage
District.
Conservation programming is being offered through the recreation program including: International
Migratory Bird Day, 4 Big Muskego Lake kayak excursions, and an interpretive hike at Badertscher
Preserve.

Staff Report to Parks & Conservation Committee
April 4, 2017
To: Parks & Conservation Committee
From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager
Subject: Recreation Program Miscellaneous Updates
Date: March 30, 2017
Please find the following items in relation to various recreation programs/activities in the city. Such
items don’t require committee action but can certainly be discussed during the Miscellaneous Business
portion of the meeting.
1. We are continuing to use the new eCity software for our recreation program registration and
ball field scheduling and have now added their reservation component for park rentals. The
software company has been working with us to continue to make changes/updates to their
program to help it work better for our department. There are still only 2 recreation
departments in the country using this software, so we are helping them to make changes and
improvements to make the software work better for recreation.
2. We are now working on our Summer Program Guide. Guides are scheduled to be mailed by
April 17. We have some new programs like Gardening classes, Forensic classes, Adult Pickleball
Leagues and are continuing to work on showcasing all the great things about Muskego like the
Big Muskego Lake Scenic Kayak Tours, Badertscher Preserve Guide Hike, Recreational Tree
Climbing (with Waukesha County) and so much more. We of course will be offering our full
spectrum of playgrounds, preschool camps and sports camps as well.
3. Participant numbers for 2016 have been compiled. For last year enrollment started to climb
back up. We had the following enrollment:
Year totals- 2016 Muskego Resident Non-resident Co-op part. Total
Infant/Toddler 167 3 30 200
Preschool 1011 34 105 1150
Youth 2246 73 134 2453
Teen 580 19 0 599
Adult 1110 267 159 1536
Aquatics 39 4 0 43
GRAND TOTAL 5153 400 428 5981
This number is up 524 people from last year. We were down significantly in 2015 due to 2
major things, the loss of the indoor swimming lessons agreement with Franklin, and the loss of
the boys and girls club basketball program. We saw increase in our preschool camps and
classes, all youth sports, teen sports involvement and adult programs. Our goal for 2017 is to
get back up to over 6000 participants in our programs.
