VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE
RESOLUTION NO. 14, SERIES OF 2019
A RESOLUTION NOTIFYING OUTAGAMIE COUNTY OF THE VILLAGE OF LITTLE
CHUTE’S INTENT ON TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE COUNTY OUTDOOR WARNING
SYSTEM.
WHEREAS, in early 2018, Outagamie County approached municipalities in the county
to discuss transferring maintenance, ownership, and replacement as of 1/1/2020; and
WHEREAS, Outagamie County has adopted County Board Resolution 21-2018-2019
outlining the position of turning over these essential emergency management functions to local
municipalities and the county has asked each municipality to identify the future of each local
outdoor warning system; and
WHEREAS, there is no one medium of communication that can protect all residents all
the time, outdoor warning sirens have historically been the most cost effective and could easily be
coupled with the other means of communication to create a more robust and effective system; and
WHEREAS, utilizing technology and weather radios are great supplemental tools, the
sirens are a vital component for some of our county’s most vulnerable residents, particularly in light
of the fact that the county and local municipalities have been making investments in outdoor
recreational amenities that will draw diverse populations from across the region; and
WHEREAS, communities throughout the Midwest continue to rely and invest in sirens as
one type of tool in enabling public agencies to notify large segments of the public during times of
inclement weather, including larger metro areas like Dane County, WI and Nashville, TN; and
WHEREAS, the costs to operate, maintain, and acquire sirens, when averaged over
the lifecycle, is less than $2,000 per warning siren annually, and
WHEREAS, the decision to have 21 municipalities in Outagamie County individually
determine if they should utilize a county wide system is an ineffective and inefficient policy that
could have severe ramifications for all county residents and visitors to our communities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Board of Trustees that
the for the safety considerations of our residents and visitors to our community, the Village of Little
Chute will take ownership of the Outdoor Warning System located at Village Hall in Little Chute.

REPORT DATE: 5/29/19
ADMINISTRATOR’S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
No additional comments to this report:_________________
See additional comments attached:____________________
EXPLANATION: While completing the 2018 audit, a discrepancy was noted from the purpose denoted
in the bond closing documents to what was recorded in the general ledger. A further complication arose as
part of this issuance was for Stormwater for the downtown senior housing project that is in TID 8 (at time
of issuance, development of TID 7 and 8 were still being completed). 2017B issue incorrectly referenced
TID 7 as the downtown district. Since the closing documents legally bind the applicable funds for
repayment, it is recommended that the Village Board ratify the allocation that ultimately took place/has
been used for principal and interest payments on this issue to date.
Note: TID 8 cannot legally incur any interest costs prior to its existence so interest from close of the
2017B GO issue until January 1 was charged to the Stormwater Utility
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation to approve the allocation as recorded in the general
ledger for the 2017B issue per attached.

REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Village of Little Chute Public Safety Building Parking
PREPARED BY: Chief Daniel M. Meister
REPORT DATE: May 31, 2019, 2019.
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
EXPLANATION:
The public safety building has various parking areas that are formally and informally used by the
police and fire department, other agencies, persons doing business with police and fire and the public.
Some residents and business have been using various areas of the parking lot to park their vehicles
and even store them overnight. This can be problematic from a parking resource standpoint and a
facility security standpoint.
To ensure that the parking lot is being utilized appropriately and to ensure the security and safety of
the police and fire departments, I am proposing that certain areas be formally designated for public
parking and for restricted parking only. The attached map shows areas that would be open for public
parking and areas that are restricted parking for public safety vehicles and employees. I have met with
the fire chief and he also agrees with this plan
I would note that the public areas would be subject to village ordinances - including Sec. 26-70 (d) &
(e) that prohibits overnight parking (2AM-6AM) and parking more than 12 hours. If approved by the
board, I would request that the appropriate signage be allowed to be posted to designate the public vs.
restricted parking areas.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the proposed parking restrictions and designations within the public safety building parking
lot located at 200 W. McKinley Ave.

INFORMATION FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Wisconsin Act 243
PREPARED BY: James Fenlon, Administrator
REPORT DATE: May 29th, 2019
EXPLANATION: In the six years I have had the privilege and honor of being Little Chute’s Village
Administrator; I have refrained from entering very few, if any political discussions. Having worked at the
federal level, this is perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of serving in local government, particularly in Little
Chute. We strive to do what is right, just, and beneficial for the residents of our community. With that
being said, I feel it important to point out to you that Act 243 appears to be a special interest driven
unfunded mandate from the Wisconsin Realtors Association and the Wisconsin Builders Association.
Attached to this memo are two items, the first an article from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
regarding the adoption of this legislation and the second a letter from the Realtors Association of NE
Wisconsin from March of earlier this year. A few points worth noting on this topic:
1. It seems ironic that organizations that are looking to reduce fees have just added additional costs and
regulations on the very unit of government responsible for generating/facilitating the very development
they would like to see.
2. The reporting requirements focus solely on local government. The mandates just for utilities are largely
driven at the state level. In fact, it was just a few years ago that the village was forced to pay in excess of
$40k in order to delineate artificial wetlands. Did those resources improve the housing development
climate in Wisconsin or make our development more attractive?
3. I would surmise that if compared, the increased costs of labor, infrastructure, land, materials and fees for
professional services outpaces that of development fees imposed by our local unit of government.
4. The act and reporting requirement seem to lack any direct path to creating truly affordable housing.
Based upon nonprofit studies conducted recently in the Fox Cities, it would seem to indicate that affordable
housing continues to be a true challenge. If we would like a presentation on the lack of affordable housing
in the Fox Cities, I would be glad to reach out to service experts to discuss the topic and challenges faced in
our community.
5. In the past decade, this organization has utilized two different models to develop housing for our
community and did so in a collaborative and innovative fashion. It’s a bit troubling that the lobby
supporting Act 243 didn’t approach communities on unique models or best practices before decreasing
local control and adding costs that provide no real value in reducing industry costs.
These are just some observations of this matter after spending the past six years in working to effectively
develop our community in a responsible fashion. By no way would I suggest that we shouldn’t look at
these costs, but if we are to do so, it would more effective to globally look into the issue. By simply
focusing on local control and local fees, this legislation seems to miss a vast majority of the economy
related to housing.

of Northeast Wisconsin, Inc.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Whom It May Concern
FROM: REALTORS® Association of Northeast WI & Home Builders Association of the Fox Cities
DATE: March 12, 2019
RE: Opportunity related to Housing Affordability
The REALTORS® Association of Northeast Wisconsin (RANW) believes that 2017 Wisconsin Act 243 presents
an opportunity for us to work together to take a closer look at housing affordability in your community and
hopefully find practical steps that can be taken to make it less challenging for Wisconsin working families to
own a home.
Specifically, Act 243 Requires municipalities with a population of 10,000 or more to create two reports no later
than January 1, 2020.
The Housing Affordability report must:
1.) Identify and analyze all local fees and regulations imposed on new residential development to better
understand the impact of these fees and regulations on housing affordability.
2.) Inventory undeveloped land and vacant lots suitable for residential development.
3.) Identify ways in which the regulations can be modified to meet existing and future housing demand and
reduce the time and cost necessary to approve development of new residential subdivisions by 20
percent.
The Development Fee report must include:
1.) A list of all local fees, and fee amounts related to residential construction, remodeling or development.
2.) The total amount of local fees above imposed on residential construction and development in the prior
year broken down by the cost per housing unit.
We do not believe the intention of the law is to overburden local units of government with significant costs
associated with costly contracted studies. Rather, the hope is that by internally reviewing regulations, process
and fees associated with residential housing, greater awareness will arise. This is especially true if local
experts such as developers, home builders, surveyors, engineers, realtors and appraisers are gathered
together to help with this effort. These individuals work within the housing market daily and can provide
directed and practical insight and expertise to these discussions.
The concerns related to housing affordability are growing with each day. Due to a shortage of construction
labor, increased material costs and the limited availability of financing for new residential development, the cost
of housing continues to outpace the average wage increases throughout Wisconsin. Our Association hopes
that over the course of 2019, we can work with you to bring various professionals and experts to this process.
Thank you for your consideration, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would
like to discuss this issue further.
