Archery/Trap/Shooting Range at Schultz’s Gun Club – 9-month review – In a memorandum to the
Finance Committee, Engineering/Building Inspection Director McMullen stated another three-month review
was completed. Schultz’s Gun Club has met the requirements outlined in the original notice from his office.
The Club is continuing to add material to the rifle range and the pistol ranges. The Club is beginning talks to
adjust the positions of the rifle deck and pistol ranges; the City, prior to any construction taking place, must
approve all of these amendments. At this time Engineering/Building Inspection Director McMullen is
recommending that the Finance Committee continue to require the three-month reviews and direct staff to
maintain periodic review during the three-month intervals. Ald. Schroeder moved to approve the
continuation of three-month review with staff maintaining periodic reviews during the three-month
interval. Seconded by Ald. Salentine. Motion carried 3 – 0.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Discussion and possible reconsideration of action on travel request to attend training conference –
I.S. Director – Ald. Schroeder asked that this item be put back on the agenda. He stated this has nothing to
do with Information Systems Director Sommers being the requester or his department being the requester.
He stated in the past he has had an issue with the number of out-of-state conferences employees were
attending, knowing they are more expensive then in-state or adjoining-state conferences. His biggest
concern was two weeks prior to this an employee had come forth for tuition reimbursement above the Tuition
Policy cap and at that time Finance took a firm stand that they were not going to move in that direction. The
employee withdrew his request. Ald. Madden was hoping Information Systems Director Sommers would be

able to attend Microsoft training conferences held in Wisconsin. Information Systems Director Sommers
stated he has attended conferences held locally. They normally are a two or three hour somewhat technical
and somewhat sales presentation. They are primarily for new technologies. He stated the Microsoft Tech
Ed training is the best he is aware of. Information Systems Director Sommers stated he has been doing this
training every other year. His second best option would be to take a weeklong class and that would be on
one specific topic. He reviewed what he had learned at the Microsoft Tech Ed training conference two years
ago, the procedure for their sessions, and their labs. Another type of training is being part of the state’s
Governmental Information Processing Association of Wisconsin, which he is chairman. Ald. Madden asked
what is the City’s return on the training? What is the City going to be able to eliminate from the current out-
sourcing budget? Nothing was presented. The City is looking for something that can help cut costs. In
regard to Ald. Schroeder’s question, Computer Specialist Quijano attended Microsoft’s Tech Ed training
conference last year. Discussion took place on the knowledge gained at the training conference to learn and
implement new products and upgrades. In regard to Ald. Madden’s question, Information Systems Director
Sommers stated he has taken on-line training. The biggest problem with that is time. When should he do it?
Ald. Schroeder stated the City, as a whole has to have some restraint when it comes to seminars,
conferences, and schools. Personnel have to look closer to the City. Ald. Schroeder moved to reconsider
action on travel request to attend training conference – I.S. Director. Seconded by Ald. Madden.
Motion carried 3 – 0. Ald. Schroeder moved to deny request to attend training conference, I.S.
Director. Seconded by Ald. Madden. It was noted hotel reservations were made which Information
System Director Sommers stated he could cancel. $100.00 of the amount paid for conference registration is
non-refundable. Ald. Melcher stated that nine percent of the total 2005 budget was for conferences (this
includes all departments). If one department is going to be singled out, as an amendment, the whole of City
Hall has to be looked at. He feels that Information Systems has been singled out, on a continuous base, for
expenditures. It was noted that City Hall as a whole would be done as part of the budget process.
Discussion continued on conference expenditures, budget amount, number of employees, and number of
department heads.
City Administrator Sheiffer clarified that it is a charge in her position description to approve/not approve
conference and training requests that come forward. This is not the first one that has not been approved.
This was brought forward because there was concern and City Administrator Sheiffer is trying to learn what
the City’s philosophy is for this kind of spending. Motion carried 3 – 0.
NEW BUSINESS
Recommend approval of Initial Resolution Authorizing the Borrowing of $5,275,000.00 and providing
for the Issuance and Sale of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2006 – Finance Supervisor
Mueller introduced Paul Thompson and Dustin Avey from Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co (HSE). They
presented a proposal for an advance refunding of the 1997, $6,125,000.00 General Obligation Bonds and
timetable on refunding 1997 bond. The proceeds from the new bonds, $5,275,000.00, are deposited into an
escrow account until the call date. The proceeds, along with interest earned in the escrow account, pay the
interest and principal due on the 1997 bonds at the call date, June 1, 2008. The refunding is recommended
if the present value savings exceeds 3% (HSE standard) and/or meets specific policies set by the Common
Council. The industry standard for present value savings is 2%. This refunding analysis currently provides a
present value savings of $165,226.00 or 3.245%. If the savings decrease below a desired savings target or
Common Council policy, HSE will continue to monitor market conditions. If at a later date market conditions
improve and the savings target can be achieved, Finance Supervisor Mueller will be notified. The present
value savings includes HSE’s expenses. HSE estimates all issuance expenses to be 1.4% of the par value.
On previous debt issues the City of Muskego has paid issuance expenses of 1.7%. The 1.7% was on the
actual 1997 issue (the issue the City did originally). Finance Supervisor Mueller noted that she did a
comparison of two proposals, Ehlers & Associates and HSE. HSE fees were less. Fees are collected when
refinancing occurs. If the Finance Committee and Common Council wish to proceed, a sale date would be
set for May 23, 2006. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend initial resolution authorizing the borrowing
of $5,275,000.00 and providing for the issuance and sale of General Obligation Refunding Bonds,
Series 2006. Seconded by Ald. Madden. In regard to Ald. Schroeder’s question he was told the City does
not have an exclusive contract with Ehlers & Associates. The City can receive bids in the future and decide
to obtain the services of a company other than HSE. Motion carried 3 – 0.

Recommend approval of Rescue Bill Write-Offs – In a memorandum to the Finance Committee, Finance
Department Supervisor Mueller is requesting the writing-off of rescue service bills listed with Waukesha
County Collection Agency, $2,074.75; and Medicare/Medicaid accounts and Others, $31,331.01. Finance
Department Supervisor Mueller stated the write-offs are two years or older; there are none from 2006. Ald.
Schroeder moved to recommend approval of writing off $33,405.76 in uncollectible accounts.
Seconded by Ald. Madden. Motion carried 3 – 0.
Recommend disallowance of claim - Bishop – Clerk/Treasurer Janice Moyer forwarded letter received
from Midwest Claims Service, the claim administrator for the League of Wisconsin Municipalities Mutual
Insurance who provides the insurance coverage for the City of Muskego. Midwest Claims Service received
notice of claim where Ms. Bishop alleged to have sustained damage to her vehicle while pulling out of her
driveway. Ms. Bishop advised that while backing out of the driveway her vehicle struck the cover of the
catch basin that is located near the property line. Midwest Claims Service has completed their investigation
and has determined that there is no negligence on behalf of the City. The catch basin is not located on the
driveway, but rather in the grassy portion of the yard. In order to strike this basin her vehicle must have been
off of the driveway and on the grass at the time of the loss. Additionally, the City did not have prior notice of
any defect concerning this catch basin. A municipality has no liability unless it knew, or should have known,
of the existence of a defect and had a reasonable amount of time to repair it. In absence of negligence on
the behalf of the City, Midwest Claims Service, Inc. will be unable to honor Ms. Bishop’s claim. Ms. Bishop
(damage occurred to her daughter’s vehicle) met with the Committee. The Committee reviewed photographs
of the location of the catch basin cover to the driveway. The catch basin has been there since Ms. Bishop
built the home, 1993. Ms. Bishop is at the meeting tonight because after calling the Public Works
Department, someone came to her home to look at the situation and then stated the City was responsible;
the catch basin cover was improperly installed. The next day a work crew secured the catch basin cover.
The Committee reviewed the quote for $1,075.64 to repair the vehicle damage. Ald. Salentine mentioned
that the disallowance of claim would give Ms. Bishop six months to file small claim suit. Ald. Salentine
moved to recommend disallowance of claim. Seconded by Ald. Madden. Ald. Schroeder stated the
only other time the Committee would take action is if the insurance company sent no recommendation.
Motion carried 3 – 0.
Discuss new Performance Evaluation Form and Performance Incentive Program for Non-rep Group –
City Administrator Sheiffer stated an Employee Evaluation and Performance Incentive Committee had been
formed. Members of the committee were present: Parks and Recreation Director Anderson, Planning
Director Muenkel, Police Lt. LaTour, Park and Recreation Program Manger Dunn, and Assistant
Superintendent of Sewer and Water Utilities George Mayer. The Committee tonight was looking for the
Finance Committee’s feed back. Park and Recreation Director Anderson stated the Performance Evaluation
and Performance Incentive Committee was asked to:
1. Make an evaluation tool that was simpler, easier to understand, and doesn’t take an inordinate amount of
time to evaluate an employee
2. Look at a more conservative approach in terms of real dollars, the committee had the capabilities of
being creative in how they did that
The Performance Evaluation and Performance Incentive Committee reviewed draft copy of The City of
Muskego Annual Employee Performance Evaluation for Non-represented Employees and a draft copy of City
of Muskego Non-Rep Evaluation Proposal – Estimated Cost Savings for the Year 2006 – 2010 Performance.
The Committee benchmarked a lot of municipalities and received evaluation tools from public universities.
The following rating scale guide was established:
Unacceptable: Job performance fails to meet job requirements: performance clearly below minimum
requirements. Immediate improvement required.
Provisional: Job performance does not meet acceptable levels in all areas; performance must improve to
meet expectations of position. Exhibits potential to become Effective with continued training.
Effective: Job performance consistently meets standards for the position. This is the expected level of
performance in a position with normal guidance and supervision.
Outstanding: Job performance frequently exceeds standards set for the position and accomplishments are
made in unexpected areas as well.
Superior: Job performance consistently exceeds standards set for the position all of the time. The
excellence of the employee’s work is clearly recognized by all.
Part II Performance Factors were: Job Knowledge, Teamwork, Customer Satisfaction, Quality of Work,
Adaptability, Personal qualities, Dependability, and Safe Work Habits. These were factors that every non-
representative employee should be evaluated on. A comments section was provided.

Group
Part III Supervisory Factors (for supervisory employees) were: Leadership, Delegation, Planning and
Organizing, Administration, and Personnel Management. A comments section was provided.
It was noted that currently the rating scale has five areas that are on a number scale. Planning Director
Muenkel explained how the number scale worked.
Part IV Goals/Objectives/Special Assignments: This is where goals, objectives, projects, special
assignments, etc. have been clearly established so that the non-represented employee and the evaluator
were on the same page. These were rated: Accomplished or Satisfactory Progress, and Unsatisfactory
Progress (See “Comments” Below). A section was provided for comments.
Part V Overall Performance: The overall rating should be a reflection of the performance factors, supervisory
factors (if applicable), and goals/objectives/special assignments (if established). This is rated on the
Unacceptable to Superior scale described above. A section was provided for comments.
Merit Pay Recommendation was reviewed. The committee looked at a management theory of midpoint or
at/above midpoint. Currently 68% of the non-represented employees are at or above midpoint. The merit
pay recommendation presented in relationship to Below Midpoint (B.M.), which consistent to how the non-
representative employees are now set up is: Unacceptable 0%, Provisional 0% to 1%, Effective 1% to 2%
percent, Outstanding 2% to 3%, and Superior 3% to 4%. At/Above (A.M.) midpoint is Unacceptable 0%
percent, Provisional 0% to 1%, Effective 1% to 2%, Outstanding 2% to 2 ½%, and Superior 2 ½% to 3%, this
is where the cost savings is. This represents an estimated cost savings of $21,536.00 the first year. The
grand total savings through 2011 was $116,943.00. The committee looked at what employees’ value, money
and time off. A recommended merit day’s incentive for B.M. is Unacceptable 0 days, Provisional 0 days,
Effective 1 day, Outstanding 2 days, and Superior 3 days. A.M. recommendation is Unacceptable 0 days,
Provisional 0 days, Effective 0 days, Outstanding 3 days, and Superior 4 days.
Discussed was giving a Provisional rating a one-day incentive. Ald. Madden noted that she thought the
committee was right because if the employee needed more training then you would not want to give the
employee additional time off. Ald. Salentine agreed.
Work Goals for the Year is an optional section to be determined by the immediate supervisor.
Recommendations from the Employee Evaluation Committee: 1. No mid-year review but on the job
coaching, final year-end review, 2. Cost of living adjustment (C.O.L.A.) is separate from the merit increase,
3. The C.O.L.A. should not be used to artificially lower the overall pay increase for any given year. This
adjustment should be competitive with other represented groups, the Midwest and Milwaukee area CPI, and
the employee cost trends for all salaries in the State of Wisconsin (Resolution #227-99); 4. The C.O.L.A.
should be given whole and not broken up during the year, 5. This evaluation tool and performance incentive
program should be presented to the non-rep employee group after Finance Committee, 6. For those
individuals who are at the top of their salary range (red-lined), the City Administrator shall develop a process
that has purpose and is valuable to the employee group and the Common Council to research/benchmark
like positions and their salary ranges for the public/private sector. This process should have the support of
Council and findings presented to the Council by City Administrator, 7. This evaluation tool should be
computerized so supervisors can fill them out on the computer and not by hand, 8. A market study of all
salary ranges should be done at a minimum of every five years or if a designated percent of salary ranges
seem to be out of balance, 9. No longer paying out for the one floating holiday. You either use it or lose it
just like the merit day program we are recommending as part of the performance incentive program, (this is
an average savings of $5,000.00), 10. Any proposed changes to the evaluation tool or performance
incentive program should come back to this employee committee for further review/research, 11. The
following timeline (that remains) is recommended for approval of this evaluation tool and performance
incentive program (this employee committee would like to make the presentations to the different groups);
The Committee will have another meeting and invite City Administrator Sheiffer to discuss what they want to
do with the department employees for the buy-in. April 26 – May 5 present to department employees for
buy-in, May 12 Committee recommendations given to City Administrator for formal approval process.
Ald Schroeder suggested it might be more advantages for the Evaluation Committee to have any
recommended changes by Finance Committee and Common Council addressed before presenting to
employees for buy-in. Brought up was having this discussed at a Committee of the Whole Meeting. It was
also noted that this could be done at a Finance Committee meeting but all the Aldermen would have to be
present.
The Finance Committee thought the Evaluation Committee did an excellent job.

Approval of final payment – Loomis Rd. – The Finance Committee was presented a copy of the invoice
from Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the Loomis Drive Jurisdictional Transfer. The invoice is for
the City’s portion of the drainage work requested along the north side of the roadway and for the sanitary
manhole adjustments necessary to complete the roadway paving. The Sewer Utility will be funding the
manhole adjustments, $1,419.88. Engineering/Building Director McMullen stated the drainage portion,
$5,000.00 will come from the Capital Improvement funds allocated for HWY 36. Ald. Schroeder moved to
approve the invoice for the sewer manhole adjustments and the additional drainage work requested
by the City. Seconded by Ald. Salentine. Motion carried 3 – 0.
Recommend approval of continuation of School Liaison Positions – According to the Police School
Liaison Agreement between the City of Muskego and the Muskego/Norway School District, both parties
agreed to indicate by April 1, 2006 if they intend to extend the agreement to the 2006-2007 school year.
Chief Johnson is requesting the City indicate it’s intent to continue the Police School Liaison Program. His
recommendation for continuance of this program is based on the favorable findings on the program. The
positions continue to be very well received by the students, parents, and staff of the school district. In
addition, the patrol officers have been able to concentrate on other problems within the City as a result of the
Liaison positions. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend approval of the continuation of the School
Liaison Positions. Seconded by Ald. Madden. Motion carried 3 – 0.
Recommend approval of Amendment to Chapter 9.23 – Disposal of Abandoned Property – The Police
Department collects abandoned or unclaimed property in its property room. Other than a Police Department
auction the disposal of property has been limited to basically two options: a public auction which is mostly
limited to vehicles and the transfer of property to the Historical Society for sale of the items. After reviewing
the disposal of the property it was determined that many of the vehicles are not accepted at public auction
because they are in poor condition. The City receives no benefit from the transfer of property to the
Historical Society. The Police Department’s auction is time consuming and expensive because the officers
need to be compensated with overtime to work the auction. The Police Department has been looking at
Property Room.com, which is an organization that handles items from police property rooms across the
country. Property Room.com is an e-bay type auction where they pick up the property, put it on their auction
site, and then dispose of the property by sale. Property Room.com retains fifty percent of the sale price for
their pick-up and auction costs with fifty percent of the sales being given to the Police Department. Chief
Johnson is requesting a change to Chapter 9.23 to add (h) Public sale through Internet based sales i.e. E-
Bay or Property Room.com. The change will permit him to sign the agreement with Property Room.com so
that the Police Department may utilize them for property that would otherwise have to be disposed of by
destruction or salvage. Included with Chief Johnson’s memorandum was a copy of Chapter 9.23, Property
Disposition Services Agreement, chart of how Property Room.com works, and a list of national law
enforcement clients using Property Room.com. Ald. Salentine moved to recommend approval of
Amendment to Chapter 9.23. Seconded by Ald. Schroeder. Ald. Salentine asked what happens if the
property doesn’t sell on E-Bay. Ald. Schroeder stated they re-list the items, adding the item to other items.
Motion carried 3 – 0.
Action on request to expend approximately $4,200.00 for permanent speed bumps for Lions Park
Drive – Engineering/Building Director McMullen stated attached to his memorandum was the Public Works
Supplement for the meeting of April 17, 2006 and previous Public Works Committee minutes. The request to
install speed bumps at various locations on Pasadena Drive is still at Public Works Committee. The Public
Works Committee at the April 17, 2006 meeting moved to install permanent speed tables along Lion’s Park
Drive with the consent of the residents and approval of the Finance Committee. The speed tables would be
installed so the road could be plowed without any physical damage to the speed tables. The Public Works
Committee directed staff to create a policy and criteria for the installation of these types of devices. The
Public Works Committee is requesting that $4,200.00 be allocated to the installation of speed tables.
Engineering/Building Director McMullen recommends the monies be taken from the Hwy 36/Muskego Dam
Road Capital project. The City was successful in getting a grant from the DOT to cover the Hwy 36 project.
The speed tables will be a permanent feature and will be constructed to achieve a minimum ten-year design
life. Ald. Salentine stated she did get the four homeowners, where the placement of the speed tables will be,
to sign off stating it is okay to install on the road by their house. Ald. Salentine stated she was considering
deferring because of concerns of the Public Works Superintendent in regard to the bridge going in on
Janesville Ct. and the installation of the speed tables not being easy. The concern is the speed tables would
not get installed fast enough. Engineering/Building Director McMullen also spoke to the Public Works
Superintendent. He stated that if this were approved tonight, he would contact Payne & Dolan tomorrow.
Payne and Dolan would mill area out and have a patch crew come in. The day Payne and Dolan would

install the permanent speed tables the temporary ones would be pulled out. In attendance at the meeting
were people from Pasadena Drive. Ald. Schroeder stated in regard to the Pasadena speed bumps the City
might want to step back and take it’s time on it. Beside the four homeowners buy-in, a neighborhood buy-in
was also needed. Someone could walk around with a petition or the Public Works Department or
McMullen’s office could send out correspondence to homeowners so they can agree or disagree in the
privacy of their homes. Ald. Melcher presented a little history going back to October in regard to the speed
bumps. People on Pasadena Drive asked for a speed study. Fifty-eight percent of the vehicles were above
the posted speed limit. People then went door-to-door to see what the residents of Pasadena Drive felt
about a speed bump. Seventy-six percent of the homes signed the petition for a speed bump. Residents
are willing to pay for the speed bumps. Ald. Buckmaster stated that speed bumps for Pasadena Drive was
not up for discussion – it is still at Public Works. Ald. Schroeder stated the item on the agenda tonight was
for action on request to expend approximately $4,200.00 for permanent speed bumps for Lion’s Park Drive.
Ald. Salentine moved to recommend approval to expend approximately $4,200.00 for permanent
speed bumps for Lion’s Park Drive. Seconded by Ald. Madden. Ald. Schroeder stated his two concerns
are: 1. He attended a two-day conference in Madison on round a bouts, tables, and bumps. The City of
Madison started putting in asphalt tables and would not put another one in because of snow plowing issues.
Madison has gone with concrete. 2. Using roadway improvement funds is an excellent idea put would like to
defer for two weeks to give McMullen a chance to consult with Madison. McMullen stated he attended the
same conference at a different time. Madison installed asphalt tables after the road was paved. He is
confident the asphalt speed tables will last ten years. McMullen explained the asphalt installation process.
Ald. Schroeder recommended training the plow drivers. The plowing has to be done at a very low speed. If
not, there could be major damage to plow blade and roadway. Ald. Salentine withdrew her motion to
recommend approval. Ald. Madden withdrew her second. Ald. Salentine moved to defer to the May
9, 2006 Finance Committee meeting. Seconded by Ald. Madden. Ald. Schroeder stated that if the City
considers tables in the future the City must have a trial period with bumps, setting a trial period of one or two
years with bumps. Tables are going to be quieter. A policy should be brought forward. Motion carried 3 –
