BY THOMAS J. MCKILLEN MANAGING EDITOR The Menomonee Falls Village Board unanimously approved the purchase of a new fire engine during its June 17 meeting. The board approved the purchase of a Pierce Enforcer Fire Engine from Reliant Fire Apparatus, Inc. including associated fire equipment in the amount of $640,000 with funding through the Municipal Facilities and Equipment Fund. The new engine is projected to cost $640,000. The new engine will replace an engine that was damaged in a motor vehicle accident on Aug. 17, 2018. According to information from village staff, on May 9 the village received an insurance settlement of $157,804.49. “In lieu of spending $157,804.49 on repairs to a 23 year old fire engine with an estimated value of less than $10,000 (based upon comparative auction sales), staff pro- ceeded to evaluate options to replace the engine and to apply the proceeds of the insurance settlement toward the purchase of the replacement engine," Assistant Village Manager Arlyn Johson stated in the staff report to the board. Delivery of the new engine is estimated to take 10 months. During board discussion, Trustee Steve Taggart asked for an estimate on the pro- jected life span of the vehicle. Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald replied that would depend on the service record. He added that the vehicles are programmed for a lifespan of 20 years. Trustee Katie Kress recalled that she heard an estimate of 15 years, which Fitzgerald said is a standard from the National Fire Protection Agency. "It would be difficult to have a $600,000 vehicle and it's out of your fleet in 15 years," Fitzgerald said. Background The fire engine purchase is the latest step by the board following concerns that were raised about Fire Department equip- ment within recent weeks. In a post on the Facebook page for the Professional Firefighters of Menomonee Falls Local 3879, it was stated that there were no fire service engines or trucks in service for several hours June 5 due to mechanical issues. Several village officials later confirmed that no engines or vehicle were in service between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. on June 5. At 2 p.m. that day, an engine returned from being serviced while two other engines have since returned to serv- 10 % JEWELRY REPAIR WITH THIS AD OFF (262) 251-7774 • N91 W17194 Appleton Ave. Mon. & Fri. 10-6; Tues, Wed, Thurs. 10-7; Sat. 10-3 Oil Change $ 19.99 * *UP TO 5 QUARTS OF CONVENTIONAL OIL N88 W15220 Main St., Menomonee Falls We Offer Full Service Catering!

As addiction has gone from commu-nity problem to epidemic, a dedicatedgroup of individuals refuses to sit idleand do nothing.

Hundreds of such people will comeout to the Eisenbahn Trail in West Bendon Saturday, July 27 to participate inElevate’s 10th annual Under theInfluence of Adrenaline Race Series.

With the mission of “building strongcommunities by addressing the rootcauses of high-risk behaviors throughprevention, intervention and residentialprograms focusing on drug and alcoholissues, mental health and delinquency,”the Jackson-located agency has held thisfund-raising race for the past nine yearsto fight a tragic trend ravaging familieseverywhere.

“We hold this event to support ourmission,” said Julie Wolf, Elevate’s asso-ciate director, in a phone interview withthe Express News. “This is one of ourmajor fundraisers of the year and itdraws a lot of people.”

Featuring a full marathon, half-marathon, 10K and 5K, the race day willkick off with a start time of either 6 or7 a.m. for the full or half marathon,depending on personal preference. The10K and 5K races will begin at 7:15 a.m.

Absent for a year, the marathonoption has returned thanks to populardemand, said Wolf.

“We added back the full marathonand it is a USATF Boston qualifier,” shesaid. “The marathon will go along thetrail from West Bend to Campbellsportand back.”

As a special aspect of the event,there will be a “Memory Mile” on whichsigns participants made in honor ofloved ones lost to addiction or in recov-ery. Peer specialists, part of a new pro-gram offered by Elevate, will be facilitat-ing in this portion of the race.

“There are a lot of great stories outthere and people run for many reasons,”said Wolf. “They are out there sharingthe message that there is hope for recov-ery.”

Also new this year, Elevate is part-nering with the Volunteer Center ofWashington County which will take theirDo Good bus out of the route and deliv-er refreshments to volunteers along theway and cheer on the runners.

When participants finish theirrespective race, they can enjoy a varietyof food from local restaurants and musicat the end, and if interested, even headover to Chalk Fest at the Museum of

Wisconsin Art in downtown West Bend.“They can make a day of it,” said

Wolf. “It’s a great time.”Prices are currently $30 for the 5K, $40

for the 10K, $50 for the half marathon and$60 for the marathon and will increase inJuly; however, participants can run forfree if they raise $100. Each person willreceive a T-shirt and every finisher gets amedal. Those who do not want to run butwould like to contribute can donatethrough the race website.

The Menomonee Falls Village Board expressed sup-port during a June 17 Committee of the Whole meetingfor motions calling for quarterly reports to be presentedto the board by village's fire and police departments.

"I think that would help with these past experiencesof information coming to the board," said Trustee PaulTadda, who along with Trustee Katie Kress proposed themotions calling for quarterly reports by the police andfire agencies.

The village police and fire operations operate underthe village's Department of Protective Services, withPolice Chief Anna Ruzinski serving as the director of thedepartment. The Committee of the Whole meeting cameless than a week after a special meeting of the VillageBoard in which concerns about Fire Department opera-tions were brought out in an open forum. The June 11special Village Board meeting followed a situation inwhich the Fire Department did not have any fire enginesin operation in the village from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June5 due to several vehicles undergoing maintenance. Onevehicle returned from maintenance on June 5 and twoothers are now back in operation.

During the June 17 Committee of the Whole meet-ing, Tadda and Kress said the presentations to the board-- which would address issues such as training, fireinspections, equipment and building and grounds --

would address one of the concerns raised at the June 11meeting.

"This is an opportunity for fire chief and/or theassistant fire chief to come before us, to come to ourmeetings, and sit down and give us an update --whetherit would be a slide presentation of their choice or a ver-bal update of some sort of thing that's on the record sothat we are being on the loop so that what happened onthe record doesn't repeat itself," Kress said.

Village President Dave Glasgow asked if the itemshould be crafted an ordinance or if the board canrequest the report in another way? Village AttorneyMichael Morse said the item is a policy question to bedetermined by the board while Village Manager MarkFitzgerald said the reports would typically be done as apolicy directive from the board and not as an ordinance.Tada said the item is important, which is why he intro-duced the item as an ordinance. Tadda added he wouldbe amenable to having the item as a policy directive.

During later discussion, Kress said that while bothpolice and fire operate under the Department ofProtective Services, they perform separate tasks. VillageManager Mark Fitzgerald raised the concern that underthe motion the director of protective services is exclud-ed from the Fire Department presentation. Tadda saidthat in preivous meetings it was brought out that con-cerns were raised from Fire Department personnel aboutthe current situation in reports within the Department

of Protective Services."I want to hear directly from the Fire Department

and the Fire Chief and the Assistant Fire Chief in thefuture -- that is why I'm putting this forward," Taddasaid.

Fitzgerald replied that Ruzinski was vacation anddid not have an opportunity to respond to commentsduring the previous week. Trustee Jeremy Walz sug-gested amending the motion to include the director ofprotective services along with fire chief or assistant firechief in the quarterly reports. Tadda agreed and said hewould want to have the director of protective servicesalong with the fire chief or assistant fire chief to pro-vide the quarterly reports to the board.

The board did not take a formal vote on the motion,as items at Committee of the Whole meetings inMenomonee Falls are for discussion, with final actionoccurring during a regular Village Board meeting.

During discussion on the quarterly reports from thePolice Department, Fitzgerald asked that language sug-gesting that portions of the report may be presented inexecutive (closed) session because state law determineswhat can be discussed in closed session. Tadda and Kressagreed to remove the language. Fitzgerald later addedthat if an item in the report requires a closed session, itwould have to stated on a Village Board agenda and theboard would have to vote to go into closed session onthat specific items.

Department equipment and personnelconcerns during a June 11 special VillageBoard meeting.

“I can tell you from my perspective, Ican speak for command staff, that to usthis is our worst nightmare. This is some-thing that I don’t that think we sawcoming,” Assistant Fire Chief JamesMollet said during that meeting. Heattributed part of the issue being thatvehicles were being utilized more thanthey were in the past. He later addedthat since he joined the Menomonee FallsFire Department six years ago, there hasbeen an increase of “two and a half timesmore calls.”

Later during the meeting, TrusteeSteve Taggart asked Mollet if the villageneeds a fire chief.

“Yes, I do,” Mollet said in response toTaggart’s question. Mollet then indicatedthere is a difference between police andfire services operations. Mollet said heremained concerned about fire servicedue to equipment and personnel issues.

Menomonee Falls Police Blotter

BY THOMAS J. MCKILLENMANAGING EDITOR

A house in Menomonee Falls becamea home for a veteran and his family onJune 15, as the latest project ofOperation Finally Home was completed.

The new home was built for TysonCole and his wife and three children.Cole served in the US Army for 13 yearsand was injured while serving in Iraqwhen a mortar exploded near him.Operation Finally Home is a nonprofitorganization started in 2005 that hasbuilt mortgage free homes for militaryveterans. The Tyson residence was thefifth home built through OperationFinally Home.

The house was constructed byBelman Homes. David Belman, presi-dent of Belman Homes, said his compa-ny learned about Operation FinallyHome at an international builders show.

"I thought it was an amazing thing

and I wanted to bring it to Wisconsin,"Belman said. The company has con-structed four of the Operation FinallyHome residences in Wisconsin. Bellmanthen added: "Our troops do so much forus that's this is a small way of givingback. It's important to me that we takecare of our troops because unfortunate-ly they're not always well taken care ofand we need to do a little more forthem, because a lot of them are hurtingand have long-term issues.”

The Cole family first learned of thenew home during a surprise ground-breaking ceremony (for them) inSeptember. While they had seen workprogressing on the house, June 15 wasthe first time they saw it after comple-tion.

"What David (Belman) and every-body has done is amazing. It's hard tobelieve they accomplished something soamazing in such a short amount of

time," Tyson Cole said.He added that after being intro-

duced to the completed home, the fam-ily was looking around and understand-ing where everything is in the commu-nity, such as where to eat and wherethe parks are located.

"We're not from this area so it's likebeing introduced to a whole new place,"Cole said.

A few hours after the seeing thecompleted house, Tyson indicated hewas still amazed at what happened.

"It's still very much unbelievable, Istill can’t believe I am standing here,"he said.

Cole added that if he would havebeen told about the new home a yearago, he wouldn't believe it.

"After you meet the people involvedin this agency, you can see that it isreal and they do care, and it's genuine -- and it makes you feel good," he said.
