MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

Dear City Residents:
HAPPY SPRING! While our winter was a mild one, I believe we all ready for the warmth and promise of Spring!
This Spring and Summer will be warmer - and very, very busy here in "Our Home Port." Already, exciting things are underway here in our great City! Here are just a few of them:
- The next phase of North breakwater repair work - our Gateway Project - is underway, with a timeframe of early June for completion. This is a really transformative project, one that will significantly expand and repair the public access walkway and ensure full ADA compliance. It is an important commitment of ours that ALL our City residents and visitors be able to access Lake Michigan and enjoy its natural beauty. Moreover, this project integrates a "community gathering area" at which families can safely enjoy the views, fish from the breakwater, or sit and relax. We can't wait to see the finished product! Of course, we have more work to do, and that work will pick back up in the Fall of 2017 with more placement of armor stone to protect the lake side of the South breakwater.

The
tall ship Denis Sullivan - Wisconsin's flagship - returns in June, with an engagement here June 1st - 4th to coincide with Pirate Fest! Our partnership with Discovery World Science & Technology Center, bringing the Sullivan to PW in 2015 and 2016, was a terrific success and brought visitors to our lakefront; additional spending in our downtown businesses; a $425,000 grant for our breakwater work; and revenue we can use to help promote our Sullivan visits again this year. If you didn't have a chance to sail the magnificent tall ship last year, you can do so from "Our Home Port" this Summer!
- In terms of downtown redevelopment, we expect to move forward with our continued focus upon the necessary addition of strategic residential density with the Lakepointe townhomes project. The project, with an anticipated Summer commencement, is the work of Stephen Perry Smith Architects, Inc. and will continue to enhance the variety and amount of housing inventory of our lakefront Business District. With each new residential component, we add vital density that will help support and sustain our existing business partners, help in our efforts to attract another regional retail presence and positively impact the overall business mix of our downtown.
- We will break ground on another development project, the Cedar Vineyard Development, which will bring right-sized residential density to the former VK property and a functional commercial vineyard operation! Beyond the increase in our tax base and the benefits of additional people living near (and being connected to!) our downtown, the vineyard will bring tourists, weddings and other celebrations - all of which is wonderful for our community! We are accomplishing this while preserving very environmentally sensitive land and allowing for new public beach access.
- We will continue to advance our partnership with NOAA and our progress towards designation of a National Marine Sanctuary off our shores. This will mean so many good things for us - identification and preservation of new shipwrecks; more visitors to our lakefront; exciting new educational curriculum possibilities; new businesses (a great example being Port Deco Divers!); and very impactful partnerships. We will celebrate our hoped-for designation August 11th - 13th with our "Get into your Sanctuary" weekend, with activities planned to highlight our special place here along Lake Michigan.
- Speaking of the Lake and the special place we call home, part of that is our proud maritime heritage - and in accepting conveyance of the north breakwater lighthouse from the National Park Service as we hope to do this Summer we take yet another important step in preserving and celebrating that history.
- We will welcome another new event, "Badger Brews & Que" to "Our Home Port" this Summer! The event, led forward by Paramount Music Association, will be held on Coal Dock Park the weekend of August 4th - 5th. To learn more, visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Badger-Brews-Que-1434088230168712/. Along with Main Street Community Street Festival on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend; Pirate Festival in June; Fish Day in July; and Paramount Music Festival over Labor Day weekend, we have a jam-packed festival season! Events such as these, as well as our 4th of July celebration; our Beer Garden; our Farmers' Market; and so many others invite people to come and see our beautiful city - and have a lot of fun while doing so!
So, lots to celebrate, and lots for us to do. Please stay engaged, and please keep sharing your ideas and asking your questions. Visit our City website often (
www.cityofportwashington.com
); "like" us on Facebook (
www.facebook.com/CityofPortWashingtonWI
); or even follow me on Twitter (twitter.com/PWMayor). And, if you've yet to sign up for our city e-Newsletter, please do so and encourage others to do the same. It's free, safe, easy and enables us to communicate more effectively with you. You can do so via the "E-mail sign-up" link in the right-hand column on the home page of our city website.
Once more, THANK YOU for continuing to make us "Your Home Port!" Enjoy a wonderful Spring.

POLICE MEMORIAL DAY 2017 MEMORIAL CEREMONY AND LOCAL FUNDRAISER
Peace Officers Memorial Day is May 15th. The idea of a Peace Officers Memorial Day came into effect on October 1, 1961, when Congress asked the president to designate May 15th to honor law enforcement officers. President Kennedy signed the bill into law on October 1, 1962. Each year, the president of the United States proclaims May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week of each year during which May 15th occurs as Police Week.
According to the Legal Information Institute, the president is requested to issue a proclamation to: designate May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day; to direct government officials to display the United States flag at half-staff on all government buildings; and to invite state and local governments and the people to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week pay tribute to the local, State, and Federal law enforcement officers who serve and protect us with courage and dedication and honors those officers who have lost their lives in service to their communities. These observances also remind us of the ongoing need to be vigilant against all forms of crime, especially to acts of extreme violence and terrorism.
In conjunction with Peace Officers Memorial Week, the Port Washington Police Department, and Honor Guard, in partnership with Tello's Grill & Café will host the 3rd annual Police Memorial Benefit on Tuesday, May 16th. Throughout the day, 10% of all sales will be donated to the Adam Hartwig Memorial Fund. At the end of the day, owner, Angel Tello will personally make a matching donation.
Deputy Adam Hartwig was a 30-year-old Ozaukee County sheriff's deputy who served with the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office for 2-1/2 years. Adam died unexpectedly on March 18, 2016, having suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after arriving home following the completion of his shift, during which he had responded to several stressful calls.
Adam is survived by his wife, his nearly 2 year old son, parents, and two brothers.
SAFETY TOWN 2017 - IT'S JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
Port Washington Kiwanis Club, supported by the Port Washington and Saukville Police Departments will again offer the very popular and very successful "Safety Town" program this year. This is the 19th year of the program which is open to and structured for children who will be starting kindergarten in the fall of 2017. Safety Town will be held June 5th - 16th at Dunwiddie Elementary School in Port Washington. There will be two sessions held each day, 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
ALERT! The 8:00 a.m. session is already filled! Sign up soon for the 10:30 a.m. session! There are a limited number of spaces remaining! Contact Brad LeDuc of the Port Washington Kiwanis Club at
[email protected] for more information, or go to
http://pwssafetytown.weebly.com/.
DON'T FORGET YOUR BICYCLE HELMET!
The City of Port Washington requires that every person less than 16 years of age operating or riding on a bicycle on a public roadway, public sidewalk, public bicycle path or any other public right-of-way under the jurisdiction and control of the City shall wear a protective helmet designed for bicycle safety. Parents are encouraged to set an example by wearing a properly fitted helmet every time you ride and please require your children to do the same. Violators younger than 16 years of age may be issued a municipal citation.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW FOR THE 2017 BICYCLE RODEO
The Port Washington Police Department will again sponsor an annual bicycle rodeo. It will be conducted on Thursday, June 22, at Lincoln Elementary School, located at 1325 Theis Lane, in Port Washington. The rodeo will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Bring your bicycle! The rodeo includes a bicycle raffle, free bicycle helmets & giveaways (while supplies last), free bicycle registrations, free bicycle inspections, and bicycle safety training & agility courses. Refreshments will also be provided.
For additional information, contact Officers Jason Bergin or Eric Leet of the Port Washington Police Department at 262-284-2611.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR BICYCLES & PEDESTRIANS
With the much anticipated arrival of summer weather, there is an increase in all types of warm weather outdoor activities. The Port Washington Police Department reminds you to be extra aware of pedestrians and bicyclists, especially throughout the warm weather months. Remember, as a general rule pedestrians and bicyclists have the right-of-way when crossing a roadway within a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
Pedestrians and bicyclists are also reminded that sudden pedestrian movement into traffic or the path of a vehicle is dangerous and prohibited. Bicycles are considered vehicles in Wisconsin. Bicyclists are reminded and encouraged to obey all traffic laws.
OPEN INTOXICANTS
The Port Washington Police Department wants you to enjoy outdoor summertime activities to the fullest. However, a reminder that the possession or consumption of open intoxicants on a public way (street, sidewalk, parking lot, etc.) is strictly prohibited within the city, unless the public way or public area has been specifically designated or posted as to permit such activity.
OPEN FIRES PROHIBITED
For your safety and the protection of your property and that of the community, open fires are prohibited within the city limits. Please see the Port Washington Fire Department's article below for more information on fire pits and outdoor fireplaces.
FIREWORKS NOT PERMITTED
For your safety and that of the community, the possession and/or discharge of fireworks is strictly prohibited within the City of Port Washington.
DON'T BE A VICTIM - IMPORTANT TARGET HARDENING TIPS
Don't become a victim! There are three ingredients necessary for a crime to take place. They are: desire, ability, and opportunity. While you may have little or no control over an individual's desire or ability to attempt to commit a crime against you, you can take a few simple steps to greatly reduce the opportunity.
Because residents feel relatively secure in our suburban community setting, many people are lax in securing their homes, vehicles, and possessions against theft. This is particularly a problem with theft from unlocked vehicles. Thieves will enter a neighborhood, and check or "shop" multiple vehicles until they locate one that is unlocked. They then look through the vehicle and steal anything of value. Popular items include cell phones, money, CD's, laptop computers, stereo equipment, purses, and wallets.
The Police Department, in a continuing effort to deter criminal activity, suggests the following:
Please remember, "if you see something, say something." Immediately report all suspicious activity to the Port Washington Police Department by dialing 9-1-1.
Together, with your help and cooperation, we can make a difference!
CONSUMER ALERT: TAXPAYERS REPORTING FAKE, THREATENING WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE CALLS
Release Date: April 28, 2017
MADISON - Earlier this month, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) warned consumers about the resurgence of fake Internal Revenue Service (IRS) phone calls. In this nationwide scam, callers are threatened by imposter IRS agents who claim they owe back taxes and demand immediate payment over the phone.
Now the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) is reporting that a number of taxpayers have received calls over the past couple of weeks that have "spoofed" the phone number for DOR's Milwaukee office on caller ID displays. These are scammers calling, there is no legitimacy to their claims, and they do not represent DOR despite the caller ID information.
"The Wisconsin Department of Revenue will not call or email you regarding your tax return," said DOR Secretary Richard Chandler. "Any phone call or email from someone claiming to be the DOR should be an immediate red flag. Do not give these fraudsters any information."
"Caller ID spoofing is a common characteristic in many phone scams because it allows scammers to misrepresent who they are, who they represent and what number they are actually calling from," said Frank Frassetto, Administrator for DATCP's Division of Trade and Consumer Protection. "Never trust your caller ID when you question the legitimacy of a phone call, especially if the caller is demanding money or sensitive information."
Hang up on any aggressive or threatening call about back taxes. Remember:
- Both the IRS and Wisconsin DOR contact taxpayers about their accounts by mail.
- Neither agency will call you, make threats about your tax liability and demand immediate payment.
- Neither agency will request that you pay your taxes using iTunes or Amazon gift cards, wire transfers, PayPal, prepaid debit cards or reloadable MoneyPak cards.
If you ever question the authenticity of a letter, phone call or email you receive that claims to be from a government agency, contact that agency directly to inquire. Contact the agency using a phone number or email address that you know to be accurate - NOT the contact information provided by the questionable party.

FIRE PITS AND OUTDOOR FIREPLACES
The fire department receives numerous inquiries regarding the use of outdoor fire pits or fireplaces. For clarity, a "fire pit" includes below ground pits, freestanding fireplaces, and portable devices intended to contain and control outdoor fires.
All below ground fire pits shall be at least four inches in depth and shall be surrounded on the outside, above ground, by a non-combustible material such as steel, brick, or masonry. The fire pit cannot exceed three feet in diameter, nor may the fire pile exceed two feet in height.
Fire pits may be used in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and these regulations:
- Only natural firewood/commercial logs may be burned.
- Burning of lumber, pallets, scrap wood, tree trimmings, leaves, yard waste, paper, cardboard, garbage and similar items is not permitted.
- All fire pits must be located away from any structure or combustible material.
- Below ground fire pits and freestanding fireplaces must be located a minimum of 25 feet away from any structure or combustible material.
- Portable fire pits must be located a minimum of 15 feet away from any structure or combustible material.

- A portable fire extinguisher or other approved extinguishing equipment, such as a garden hose, must be readily available.
SEVERE WEATHER REMINDER
When the skies look threatening, tune in your radio or television news station for information on severe weather alerts. The National Weather Service tracks all weather systems with sophisticated radar, which provides early warning of violent weather conditions. Remember, a TORNADO WATCH means conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. When a watch is issued, listen to broadcast advisories and be ready to take cover. A TORNADO WARNING means that a tornado has actually been sighted and you should take cover immediately. The City of Port Washington has a warning system that is sounded in the event of a TORNADO WARNING.
Ozaukee
County
now has a free feature that will alert your wireless communications device of severe weather and other important notifications. To sign up for this feature go to their website: http://www.co.ozaukee.wi.us. The sign up is located at the bottom of their homepage.

CHANGES TO CITY BRUSH COLLECTION POLICY
Beginning in 2017, the City will charge residents for the cost of collecting brush for 15 minutes or more (less than 15 minutes is free). The minimum charge for 15 minutes is $19.16, plus $1.83/minute after 15 minutes. To avoid these charges, please neatly stack your brush with the cut ends pointed in the same direction as traffic, so it can be more easily run through the chipper. Separate logs and brush into two distinct piles for easier pickup. For those resident who have smaller terraces or no terraces at all, please place brush in your front yard parallel to the sidewalk. Also, if you have a contractor remove a tree, direct the contractor to take or chip the branches.
BRUSH AND LEAF COLLECTION
Brush collection is made bi-weekly from April 10th - May 27th, weekly from June 5th - September 1st, and bi-weekly from September 11th - October 27th. Brush will be accepted at the Street Yard from October 28th - December 2nd. Brush shall consist of all "woody" material, maximum 8 inches in diameter. Place brush (cut ends with the flow of traffic) at roadside. Brush and logs cut by a contractor must be disposed of by the contractor. Leaves may be raked into the street October 2nd - November 26th only, weather permitting. Leaves can be bagged and taken to the Street Yard until December 2nd.
STREET YARD DAYS/HOURS
The Street Yard is open Saturday, April 1, 2017 and closes Saturday, December 2, 2017.
- TUESDAYS
