ber.org or email ugchamber@att.net.

It looks like fall is in the air, school is

back in session, trees are starting to

turn and budget time is in full swing

around the Village Hall.

So what’s been happening around

Village Hall since our last newsletter?

• We have added a wall and windows

to the lobby area where you pay

your water bill and taxes. See the

next page for more information.

• We continue to negotiate with de-

velopers on various projects around

the Village and hope share some

details in the very near future.

• The Village Trustees and our director

of Public Works are learning about

the recently purchased iPads and

the benefits associated with them.

Not only are there cost savings in

paper and ink, they also provide

email capabilities and reduce or

eliminate the risk of personal com-

puters being subject to open meet-

ing records requests. Other benefits

include having access to the ever

changing ordinances, our water,

sewer, zoning maps along with inter-

net capabilities (each trustee with

WI –FI is paying the monthly cost).

• Discussions are ongoing for our ani-

mal control contract.

• We have signed our contract with

the Central Racine County Health

Dept. Added services provided will

include a minimum of once a year

inspections of all premises that serve

and sell food to the public and the

addition of an environmental ex-

pert as it relates to health, i.e. lead

paint, etc.

• The planning commission is in the

midst of preparing “Forum of the Fu-

ture” which will be focused on gain-

ing input from our major employers

in UG as they begin to evaluate the

needs of our community. Keep an

eye out for further information on

the village website and newspaper.

• Continued discussion with the State

of WI to address the Hwy 45 and 11

intersections to be rebuilt to accom-

modate the increasing traffic and

constant replacement of traffic sig-

nals. We have heard now that the

project is not moving forward until

2019. Maybe call anyone you know

at the State Capital and plead our

case for moving this date up.

• Jill Koop has officially taken over as

Clerk-Treasurer for the Village as of

September 1, 2012.

• Jan Winget officially retires as of

September 30th, 2012. But breathe

a sigh of relief (I know we are) as

she has agreed to stay on as need-

ed for upcoming elections, bud-

gets and audits in 2013.

• Roberta Campbell is our new Dep-

uty Clerk, make sure you stop by

and say hello.

• You will also be seeing some up-

dates on the fire station including

some new doors, windows etc.

In closing I wanted to extend a thank

you to all the service organizations

and businesses for everything they

have sponsored over the past few

months. The Lions Club Chicken BBQ

and Car Show, The 4th of July Parade

NEW LOOK AT THE MUNICIPAL CENTER

The first thing you will notice when you come up the stairs

or off of the elevator is a new wall that was installed. Af-

ter lengthy discussions on security and privacy it was de-

termined that we needed to enclose the area where our

deputy clerk is stationed. Since the building is used by many

different groups after hours and over the weekend, we

felt it would be best to have our front office be enclosed

because of court information, Juvenile information, office

equipment, etc. This may be a new look, but we have the

same great service we offer you on every visit!

HOLIDAY HOURS

The Community Development Authority (CDA) has

had a busy and productive summer. We have been

brainstorming, surveying and planning. Here is what

we came up with, a Rent Assistance grant program of-

fered to qualifying new business startups interested in

opening on Main Street to fill our vacant storefronts. So

far we have had more than 5 businesses apply for this

program. The CDA has recapitalized the Facade/Rent

Assistance Grant Program in the amount of $50,000.00.

We feel having this amount available will help us assist

several more businesses. This was recapitalized from

the TID 4 funds.

We also put out a shopping survey online, compiled

the data and released it to our present businesses, to

help them grow. We hope to aide our existing busi-

nesses while inspiring new enterprise in our community.

Please come downtown and visit our businesses and

our ongoing farmers market. The Farmers Market is run-

ning every Tuesday 3pm to 7pm through October 16.

dard Press for details. Feel free to call the recreation director with ideas of programs or questions at (262) 902-7917.

We all shop for groceries, sometimes two or three times

a week –- or more. Now turn those shopping trips into

easy cash for your school, and encourage friends to do

the same! Just look for the Box Tops logo on hundreds of

products like Cheerios®, Hamburger Helper® and Kleen-

ex®, in almost every aisle of the store. All you need to do

is clip and send them to your school’s Box Tops coordi-

nator —- each one is worth 10¢ for your school.

Please look for box top locations at participating busi-

nesses in the Union Grove area (coming soon), or con-

tact Karin Kirchmeier with the Union Grove Elementary

School PTO at karin.kirchmeier@yahoo.com and she

will be happy to pick them up at a location near you.

RUMMAGE SALE SIGNS: Garage/Rummage sale signs

cannot be on any poles, public property or parkways

within the Village limits. If they are they will be removed

and thrown away by the Village. You can only put ga-

rage/rummage sale signs on personal property with

permission from the property owner.

RECYCLING: When setting out your recycling please be

sure that you have it bagged or covered so that your

recycling is not being blown all over the neighborhood

if it becomes windy. We have had many complaints re-

garding people’s recycling ending up in other people’s

yards. Please be courteous and be sure everything is

secured.

DONATION OPPORTUNITIES: There are so many opportu-

nities to have your name or the names of family mem-

bers go down in History in Union Grove. Currently our

Parks System is looking and accepting donations of the

following items:

• Park Benches at School Yard Park

• Park Event Signs at Village Square or School Yard

Park

• Bleachers at School Yard Park

If this is something you would like to consider, please

contact Liz at 878-1818 to receive more information

and rough pricing.

VILLAGE TIDBITS

Fall is here and I hope everyone had a great summer.

The leaves are falling now and we are working very

hard on leaf collection. Please remember we have

several miles of streets to clean-up. When you do blow

your leaves into the street please be sure to push them

up against the curb and not in the middle of the street.

With the onset of fall, certainly winter will follow! While

tuning up your snow blower please remember not to

blow your snow from your driveway or your sidewalks

into the street. Our crews work extremely hard to keep

our streets snow free and it is very difficult for them to

have to go back and redo a street especially after

working such long hours during snow storms. Please be

considerate.

Sec. 90-2. Snow and ice removal.

(a) Village responsibility. The department of public

works will be responsible for the removal of snow and

ice from the street.

(b) Responsibility of owners and occupants. The own-

er, occupant or person in charge of each and every

building or structure or unoccupied lot in the village

fronting or abutting any street shall clean, or cause to

be cleaned, the sidewalk in front of or adjoining such

home, building, or unoccupied lot, as the case may be,

of snow or ice to the width of such sidewalk within 24

hours after the end of the snowfall. If snow or ice is not

cleared, the village will clear the sidewalk. The owner,

occupant, or person in charge shall be sent a state-

ment for the actual labor cost of removal by the village.

Any snow or ice clearance charge that is unpaid by the

due date set forth in the statement shall be delinquent

and shall be collected via the benefited parcel’s next

tax bill as a special charge, under Wis. Stats. §66.0627.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS

By Mark Osmundsen

The Department of Public Works and Uilities joined

forces to install new park equipment at School Yard

Park. From left: Casey Stratton, Marvin Hegemann,

Joe Firkus and Jeff Swantz.

Have 2 Ways Out’ is the theme of this year’s Fire Pre-

vention Week, October 7-13, 2012. With preplanning

for escape, it is fitting that we think about preplanning

for many activities you will be doing soon that could

become quite dangerous very quickly.

As always, check smoke alarms, put in new

batteries, test the device, be sure you have

purchased and installed a carbon monox-

ide detector and discuss your escape plan

with family members should a fire start. Pre-

planning and practice helps reduce panic

and helps to ensure everyone’s safety.

The very, very dry summer not only instituted a burn

ban, but now as leaves fall, gardens die off and yards

are prepared for winter, I must urge the serious prep

needed should you start a burn area. Please have

water available, tend to the fire at all times, check

wind direction and speed, and check our burn ordi-

nances by going the Village website. When you are

done, douse out all embers and even cover with dirt

as we had several calls this past summer for fires that

rekindled, some even a day later.

With children back to school, redouble your alertness

to their potential errors of running into the street, not

looking both ways or just not being attentive to their

surroundings.

Home fires are always more prevalent in win-

ter than any other season. It is important to

be extra vigilant with holiday decorations,

cooking for gatherings, winter storm power

outages and how we deal with them, espe-

cially with light and heat, alternative heat-

ing sources, and my biggest scare, the use

of home candles.

So as we urge you to plan ahead for emergencies

and educate your sons and daughters on fire safety

and prevention, visit some fire prevention websites for

several helpful hints and suggestions such as www.

usfa.fema.gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/index.shtm or

simply type ‘fire prevention tips’. Try to enjoy all that

Wisconsin fall and winter bring to us. Please be fire safe

and accident vigilant.

MESSAGE FROM FIRE CHIEF CZERNIAK

WHEN – Before you start your project is when you should

obtain your permit. This gives you the opportunity to ask

questions and discover if the project will run into code

problems.

WHAT – BUILDING PERMIT – Most items that change the

shape and finishes would require building permits. This

includes but is not limited to residing, reroofing, addi-

tions, decks, swimming pools, sheds, garages, porches,

finished basements, driveways, furnace replacements,

A/C units, adding water softeners, roof pitch changes,

fences, changing grade of the lot, adding a pond, ad-

ditions, new buildings and interior remodeling.

ZONING PERMIT – If you change the exterior size or

shape of a building, or add a new building a zoning

permit application is needed to review setbacks.

EROSION PERMIT – Typically with projects that need to

excavate soils an erosion permit is also required to track

and record that activity to satisfy DNR regulations

ELECTRIC, PLUMBING and HVAC (heating ventilations

& Air conditioning) – These permit requirements kick in

when affecting those items.

All permit applications can be printed off the Village’s

Website at www.uniongrove.net.

Please contact James DeLuca, Director of Building Ser-

vices, at 262-210-1741 or jdeluca@uniongrove.net to

schedule inspection or ask questions and schedule ap-

pointments for permits. To minimize inconveniences he

can schedule appointments after 4 pm and on Satur-

days to avoid time off of work.

WHEN DO YOU NEED A PERMIT?

If you are thinking of registering to vote in the upcoming Presidential Election, we strongly

urge you to come into the Municipal Office at your earliest convenience to register. We

anticipate long lines for registration the day of the election. Our offices are open Mon-

day – Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and you are welcome to come in at any time during

those hours to register. Please be sure you bring along proof of residency in the form of

a Driver’s License or Utility Bill with your name and address on it. If you have a Driver’s

License we will need your number off of your License. If you have any questions, please

feel free to contact the Village Municipal Center at 262-878-1818.

challenge is determined by the average of the com-

pleted months’ participation scores.

• Members can earn 10 points for every time they re-

port their recycling activity

• Members reporting more than once earn more

points, but reporting more than once does not count

“extra” towards their community’s score
