Cheryl Schwoerer stated that Gladys McKay stated at the council meeting that there were no pet fancier licenses issued. Chief Oestreich stated that upon checking there were 17 issued.

Dan is still an employee as he gets a check from the city, but not employed under the utility commission. Chairman Buske asked what buildings he has keys for, master for concession stands, side door at city hall, city garage and utility buildings where radio receivers and sirens are. Just a convenience for Dan to do maintenance after hours. Chairman Buske asked that Dan Wegner turn in all his keys with the exception of the fire department key.

Attorney Sciascia stated that there could be exceptions made (Community Center for gun shows). Another decision would be prohibiting employees from carrying concealed weapons while working. All decisions that the city needs to make. Under the new state law there are a lot of unanswered questions. Chief Oestreich stated that the law is there and that an ordinance just needs to be created. Dave Beal stated; 1) hate to see the city do this too quickly; and 2) think of how to enforce this ordinance don’t have metal detectors at buildings. Another issue is posting of signs on all public buildings, very costly.

Approve Ambulance Agreements with Townships: The townships were charged an additional $1,500 (Hubbard, Clyman & Hustisford and Village of Clyman) on their contracts for the past three years, as they normally did a two year contact; this increase was to help pay for the ECG’s for the ambulances. The town of Oak Grove would not do a monthly charge and would only do a per call charge of $160 per call. All contracts are now up and new ones will be drawn up and sent to the townships. Hubbard, Hustisford, Clyman and Village of Clyman will have a $500 increase from their original contact before the ECG machines were put on their bill ($1,500), however it will be $1,000 less as they do not have to pay for the ECG machines anymore. The town of Oak Grove will now be paying $200 per call. Cost increases are due to oxygen increase, fuel and wages. There has been no feedback from any of the townships regarding this increase. Motion by M. Breitweiser, second by R. Buss to recommend to council to approve the ambulance agreements for the townships. Motion carried.

Report by Emergency Medical Coordinator:
Monthly Report: EMS Coordinator Ludtke passed out the January monthly. There were 34 calls in 2011 compared to 35 in 2010. Chairman Chase asked if all the equipment is running good. Sue stated that at the end of 2010 brakes were put on the vehicles and that everything is running good at this time.
Clarification on WEMSA: Sue stated that clarification needs to be made regarding paying the people who attended the WEMSA conference. They will still receive the $11.04 for wages and should the committee pass the volunteer and standby pay at the $8 per hour rate then people will receive this pay in the future for training.
Leak at Public Safety Building: Sue stated that when the snow began to melt that the ceiling tiles in her office was wet and that the water dripped onto her printer. She is not having any problems with her printer. There were large drifts on the roof and when the snow melted where the roof line meets, that is when the roof leaks. Insulation was saturated around the duct work which will need to be replaced soon. The roof also was leaking in the training room as well. Seems to be a yearly occurrence.
Refresher Weekends at Public Safety Building: The EMS will be using the public safety building for two weekends for mandatory refresher classes. The first weekend will be February 26-27 and the second will be March 12-13.
Report by Fire Chief:

Chase to recommend to council the 2011 Fire Department Officers: Assistant Fire Chief Dan Wegener, 1 st Lieutenant David Beal; Safety Officer Kevin K. Schultz, and Trustee; Ed Weiss. Motion by M.

Chase to send Curt Ninmann and Dan Wegener to the 2011 Chief Convention and to pay for registration, lodging, meals, mileage and wages. Motion carried.
Report by Emergency Management Director:
Monthly Report: EM Director Dave Beal stated that he was contacted by the Dodge County Emergency Management to compile information for the recent snow storm that the city received. Dave did contact Chad Stange from the Department of Public Works as well as Gladys McKay Clerk-Treasurer and Sandy Milfred Deputy Treasurer to get cost figures for wages, machinery, salt, and fuel at which time paperwork was completed and has been sent over to the county to be turned in to the state. Costs were over $1,000 for this snow storm.
Upgrade of Siren Controllers: Dave stated that there are three sirens in the city and that they would have to be upgraded to the narrow band. Each upgrade would cost around $3,000 each. He did have $9,000 in his contingency fund but does not know if this got taken out when the budget figures were completed. Dave stated that many communities are eliminating the sirens for emergency weather as people have more resources to use; cell phones, weather radios, television. Dave asked how important it is to have these sirens and asked the citizens and the council to think if it is necessary to continue to have the warning sirens. The sirens that the city now has are 25-40 years old and to replace a siren would cost almost $20,000 per siren. Costs to replace all three could be $60,000-$90,000. Dave asked the mayor if there could be a survey put on the city website to keep, replace or discontinue the warning sirens.
Old Business: No old business.
New Business: No New business.

XI. Public Safety Chairman Report: Chairman Chase asked Police Chief Oestreich if the city could put up a Dean End sign down by Gratton’s Garages off of Industrial. The reason for this is that truck drivers use their GPS to locate Gardner Equipment in Juneau or General Thermo Dynamics in Iron Ridge as the GPS directs them to the location on Industrial Drive in Juneau. Chief Oestreich stated that it was up to the committee if they wished to put up a sign but felt that it was not necessary as this happens quite a lot. No action taken.

Citizens Present:
Approve Agenda: Motion by J. Schuster, second by B. Chase to approve the January 20, 2011 agenda. Motion carried.
Approve Minutes from December 22, 2010: M. Breitweiser stated that there should be a correction on the minutes under the Fire Department for Item #2 (Membership) and that in the sentence “Committee has stated that when a member would retire or leave, than a new member would be replaced for the one that left”. Breitweiser stated that he believes that it was to read “Committee has stated that when a new member would retire or leave than a new member would be reconsidered”. Curt Ninmann and John Schuster both stated that the wording in the minutes was the understanding of what the committee wanted since the fire department at this time cannot hire anyone until someone leaves or retires. Motion by J. Schuster, second by M. Breitweiser to approve the December 22, 2010 minutes as is. Motion carried.
Citizens Wishing to Be Heard: Let the record show that there were no citizens present.
Report by Police Chief:
1. Monthly Report: Chief Oestreich passed out the December 2010 monthly. Chase asked if the police department has received the $4,000 grant money. Chief Oestreich stated that the police department has not and when they do it will go to purchase a video camera and a handheld radar unit. The police department will again participate in the program through the Department of Transportation again.
2. Yearly Report: The 2010 yearly report was passed out.
Report by Emergency Medical Coordinator:
3. Monthly Report: EMS Coordinator Ludtke passed out the December 2010 monthly. There were 24 runs for 2010 compared to 29 runs in 2009. Still a majority of the calls are from the city. The year end reports were also passed out. There were 388 calls in 2010 compared to 393 in 2009. Chase asked how the bill collection is going. Sue stated that LifeQuest made some changes in the middle of the year to get more information from patients when submitting claims. LifeQuest does do the tax intercept which is working out well.
4. 2011 Pay: Sue stated that she submitted the payroll for the EMS for January and did submit with the new pay of $8 for standby and training. Because of budget cuts these wages were reduced and agreed upon by the EMS and public safety committee. When the payroll was submitted the clerk/treasurer stated that they would have to pay the EMS at the $14.54 per hour for an EMS call, and $11.04 for meeting pay as there was no resolution indicating the new pay rates. The clerk/treasurer informed Sue that she is to create the resolution. Sue asked if it was required of her to create the resolution or if it is to be done by the public safety committee or the personnel committee.
Public Safety committee stated that the personnel committee is to write the resolution for the pay change and to submit it to council for their approval.
Motion by B. Chase, second by M. Breitweiser to recommend to personnel to reduce the pay for standby and meeting pay to $8.00. Motion carried.
Clarification on November Minutes (Item 2 Schooling): Sue stated that Attorney Sciascia has not returned the by-laws regarding the employee paying for their classes and at this time the city is currently paying. Ed Weiss & Joe Ludtke are in the process of getting their EMS license and that the city is responsible to pay since the new by-laws have not been passed by the public safety committee or council. She just wanted to clarify that the city will pay for these two people and when the new wording for sending someone to school is passed by the committee those people will have to pay for the classes and then be reimbursed by the city. This would cover mandatory schooling.
Approve New EMS Officers: The EMS held their annual elections and the following officers will serve: EMS Coordinator Sue Ludtke, 1 year term; Assistant Coordinator Scott Lawarence, 2 year term; Secretary/Treasurer Wendy Jo Smedema 1 year term; Training Officer Dan Zank 2 year term.

It was asked how often the fire department trains. Chief Ninmann stated once a month and sometimes on a Saturday for those that work at night and cannot make it to the trainings.
3. False Alarm Ordinance: Curt stated that Attorney Sciascia has approved the False Alarm ordinance. This would also cover Clearview and the Highway Shop. Motion by B. Chase, second by M. Breitweiser to recommend to the council to create the False Alarm Ordinance. Motion carried.
