ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion – Proposed Ordinance Update, Sec. 38-27. –
Collection of refuse(e)(5)
REPORT PREPARED BY: Kent Taylor, Public Works Director
REPORT DATE: October 9, 2019
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW / COMMENTS:
EXPLANATION: Per the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS3) Permit, municipalities are required to have an
ordinance that prohibits yard waste from being placed in street and curb areas.
A change to the leaf collection procedure was introduced in 2019. Information
regarding the changes to leaf collection were posted on the Villages Facebook page.
The change was also included on the cover page of the 2019 Annual Newsletter that
was distributed to all residents in April 2019.
The Village of Little Chute ordinances address this issue multiple times in different
ordinance sections.
Section 38-27. – Collection of refuse. (a) Placement for collection. (1) …Yard and bulky
wastes from residential units shall likewise be placed in neat, orderly fashion behind the
curb…
Section 38-27, (e) Compost material. Collection of compost materials is as follows: (5)
Leaves may be placed in and along the curb during the fall months. A date will be
published annually when leaves can no longer be placed in and along the curb and
must be in open bags; composting stickers are not required for these bags during this
time period.
Section 38-27, (7) Noncompost material (includes stumps, roots evergreens or shrubs
with intact root balls) shall be placed on the terrace for collection. Noncompost
materials will be collected separately from wood or compost material.
Sec. 40-4. – Raking leaves into streets. In the interests of public safety, health and
general welfare, community appearance and efficiency of operation, it shall be unlawful
to rake or place fallen tree leaves or grass clippings onto the pavement or into the
gutter of any public street, except as those times officially designated by the Village
Staff recommends changes to verbiage found in Section 38-27, (e) Compost material.
Collection of compost materials is as follows: (5).
The updated ordinance reads as follows;
Section 38-27, (e) Compost material. Collection of compost materials is as follows: (5)
Leaves may be placed in and along the back of the curb during the fall months. A date
will be published annually when leaves can no longer be placed in and along the back
of the curb and must be in open bags; composting stickers are not required for these
bags during this time period.
RECOMMENDATION: Discuss potential changes to ordinances that pertain to leaf
collection.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: 2020 Budget Workshop #2
PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator
REPORT DATE: October 4, 2019
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: ( See Below )
EXPLANATION: Presented this evening will be summaries for the 2020 Department Head Budget
Request for the Little Chute Fire Department and Fox Valley Metro Police Department. You were
provided the Fire Department’s budget last week; it is again reattached here for your review.

change with formal Administrator recommended items and the final Mission Statements for all
departments. These additions will be formulated into a complete 2020 Budget document that will be
adopted in November.
For now, this is a good opportunity for you to understand differences between 2019 Budget and 2020
Budget at a high level for each of these departments and down to the line by line presentation of their
requests. Finally, we will provide relevant updates on revenues and any other general fund updates as
needed.
