We hope these can help you bring customers back to your small businesses community and provide a safe social space for you and your neighbors. Download the Guide (sign-up required)

WI Salt Awareness Week 2021: January 11-15
Road salt helps keep our communities safe during inclement winter weather, but all the salt that we apply to streets and sidewalks ends up in our fresh water. During rain events and spring snowmelt, stormwater carries salt to our local freshwater streams and lakes. Salt, or sodium chloride, permanently contaminates freshwater.
In the past five years, a growing number of Wisconsin municipalities and local private companies have reduced salt use by 30-40% through education, equipment upgrades, and implementation of best practices. Learn more about the impacts of over-salting and how you can be a part of the salt reduction revolution during WI Salt Awareness Week, January 11-15. Tune into daily YouTube livestreams from 12:30-1pm to hear a diversity of speakers discuss #thetruecostofsalt to our drinking water, pets, freshwater ecosystems, and infrastructure, what’s being done, and how to be Salt Wise. For more information, visit: www.wisaltwise.com

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking data on the water quality of lakes, streams and rivers in our state. Every two years, the DNR requests Wisconsinites and interested groups submit their biological, chemical and physical surface water data.
Along with Department data, submitted data will be used to assess the quality of our state’s water resources and pinpoint problem areas. In accordance with the Clean Water Act, the DNR uses these assessments to prepare a statewide Integrated Water Quality Report which includes an updated list of impaired waters.
Data will be accepted from Dec. 7, 2020 – Jan. 15, 2021.
The DNR is especially interested in data that:
• Documents improvement due to implementation of pollution control practices;
• Documents healthy waters;
• Supports planning for restoration or protection of water bodies;
• Identifies public health risks;
• Is from water bodies in the Fox River (Southeast) basin, or Grant, Platte, Sugar or Pecatonica River basins; and
• Could be used for water quality criteria development in addition to assessments.
Data must be submitted electronically, and the information must be submitted in specific Excel spreadsheet formats, along with quality assurance documentation.

The 2020 Engaging Local Government Leader (ELGL) Diversity Dashboard survey is live and ready for you to complete so your community’s data is logged into an interactive dashboard measuring the demographics of local government leaders. The survey is short and only takes a few minutes to complete. You can provide responses for yourself or for your organization.
Please take the survey online here: https://publicinput.com/diversity2020. ELGL collects this information because “what gets measured gets improved.” If we can first understand the diversity of local government leaders, we can be more effective at finding ways to increase and encourage diversity and inclusion in the local government field.
Each week, ELGL uploads the completed survey responses to the live DiversityDashboard.org site, so data can be analyzed. Your personal information will not be included, and data will not be used for any purpose other than this project analysis.
Please take the survey today so your local government is included in this year’s Diversity Dashboard! If you want more information about ELGL, a professional association focused on all levels of government, you can check out their website here: www.elgl.org.
