MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

Dear City Residents: You will likely be reading this message immediately before or after Thanksgiving – so please allow me to begin with the warmest of wishes to you and yours for a wonderful holiday celebration! As a city, we have so much for which to be thankful as we near the end of one calendar year and begin preparations for the next. If you’ve been engaged with current events in our great city, you are aware that it has been a very busy 2012 – and that we are on brink of a very, very active 2013! Ours IS indeed a great city, but I truly believe the foundation is in place for our Port Washington to be even greater. What makes Port so great, and what will make Port exceptional, is YOU. We all own the outcome, so to speak, and together, we can ensure that 50 or 100 years from now we are living in and leaving behind a city that has realized its full potential. To that end, these past seven months we’ve begun to build on the foundation of greatness that so many have worked so hard and for so long to put in place – and today I want to offer a note of thanks to some of the people who have been helping us do just that. Since I assumed office in April, we’ve created several new committees – Marketing & Communications and Environmental Planning & Stewardship -- and reinvigorated and expanded several other existing ones, including our Economic Development and our Technology committees. Moreover, we’ve re-engaged our Coal Dock Park Committee in preparation for the opening of Coal Dock Park in June 2013 and we’ve put in place a Waterfront Safety Committee to ensure the safest possible lakefront experience for residents and visitors. In total, among just these six committees, we’ve invited over 60 additional city residents and business owners to join with us in driving solutions and setting a vision for the future. There are too many to name here, but I offer every one of them my appreciation for accepting our invitation to become actively involved and engaged! To be certain, it is easy to create a committee; the hard work comes in leading it forward, and as with anything in life, the eventual outcome is a direct result of the quality of the people involved and the effort they put forth. The city staff, city residents, city business owners, and other city leaders who are leading these efforts are making a very real difference for all of us. Here are just a few examples: • Our Economic Development Committee, now comprised of 11 city residents and business owners, has hosted three Business Roundtable events over the past three months, affording other city business owners, representatives, and leaders the opportunity to gather, dialogue, and problem-solve; • Our Marketing & Communications Committee, comprised of 15 city residents, city representatives, and community leaders, has begun to map out a strategy for brand development, consistent messaging and active marketing and outreach; • Our Coal Dock Park Committee has met monthly, hosted one Public Information Form, will be hosting another one in April, and is actively planning for the grand opening celebration in June; • Our Technology Committee has prepared an inventory of city technology, generated ideas from all city departments regarding future technology needs, and is in the process of creating a three-year Technology Plan to ensure we are meeting the technology needs of all city residents. To that end, look for a new city website and a new city newsletter (in electronic format) in 2013! The above all said, there is still so, so much to do – and there is room for YOU to help! As I’ve said, we do parades very well in our city, but we need more people marching in them and not just watching from the sidelines. So, join us! I assure you, your gifts of time (however much you can give!) and talent (whatever it may be!) are an investment in our city’s future and will pay dividends! So again, THANK YOU! Once more, I am truly honored, proud, and privileged to be partnering with and serving on behalf of such generous, talented, and passionate people. Together, let’s work to make 2013 one of our best years yet! Together, let’s make Port EXCEPTIONAL! MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

Dear City Residents:
You will likely be reading this message immediately before or after Thanksgiving – so please allow me to begin with the warmest of wishes to you and yours for a wonderful holiday celebration!
As a city, we have so much for which to be thankful as we near the end of one calendar year and begin preparations for the next. If you’ve been engaged with current events in our great city, you are aware that it has been a very busy 2012 – and that we are on brink of a very, very active 2013! Ours IS indeed a great city, but I truly believe the foundation is in place for our Port Washington to be even greater. What makes Port so great, and what will make Port exceptional, is YOU. We all own the outcome, so to speak, and together, we can ensure that 50 or 100 years from now we are living in and leaving behind a city that has realized its full potential.
To that end, these past seven months we’ve begun to build on the foundation of greatness that so many have worked so hard and for so long to put in place – and today I want to offer a note of thanks to some of the people who have been helping us do just that. Since I assumed offi ce in April, we’ve created several new committees – Marketing & Communications and Environmental Planning & Stewardship -- and reinvigorated and expanded several other existing ones, including our Economic Development and our Technology committees. Moreover, we’ve re-engaged our Coal Dock Park Committee in preparation for the opening of Coal Dock Park in June 2013 and we’ve put in place a Waterfront Safety Committee to ensure the safest possible lakefront experience for residents and visitors. In total, among just these six committees, we’ve invited over 60 additional city residents and business owners to join with us in driving solutions and setting a vision for the future. There are too many to name here, but I offer every one of them my appreciation for accepting our invitation to become actively involved and engaged!
To be certain, it is easy to create a committee; the hard work comes in leading it forward, and as with anything in life, the eventual outcome is a direct result of the quality of the people involved and the effort they put forth.

PORT WASHINGTON CITIZENS ACADEMY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONSThe objective of Citizens Academy is to form an understanding by the residents of the City of Port Washington of the mission, values, and operations of the Police Department and other City Departments. The Academy is a 10-week program, beginning on January 2, 2013 and concluding on March 6, 2013. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Port Washington Police Department Community Room. Citizens wishing to apply for the program may fill out the application form on-line at pwpd.org or obtain an application from the Port Washington Police Department.
The Academy provides an overview of the operations of the various city departments and some hands-on experience in the nature of police services.
The program includes classroom training, open discussion, multi-media presentations, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and will include at least one patrol shift in which the student will be offered a ride-along with a police officer to experience patrol operations first hand.
Upon completion of the program, students will have an understanding of the values, goals, objectives and operations for city departments serving the community in which they reside. Students will be awarded certificates of completion in a graduation ceremony held the last night of the academy.
It is the hope of the Port Washington Police Department that the residents who graduate from the Citizens’ Academy will be in a position to better help the department in community relations by being able to express a detailed understanding of the department’s role in the community.

CHANGE YOUR SMOKE ALARM BATTERIESRemember to change the batteries on your smoke detectors! On November 4th, clocks were set back an hour. That is a good time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms. If you did not do this, now is the time!
TIME TO HAVE YOUR FURNACES & FIREPLACES CHECKEDFall weather reminds us that it is time to have furnaces and fi replaces checked. Gas and oil-fi red furnaces need to be inspected by a qualifi ed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning specialist. Chimneys need to be inspected by a qualifi ed technician to make sure there are no blockages inside the fl ue.
To avoid Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning due to damage or improperly vented appliances, a residential Carbon Monoxide detector should be installed near sleeping areas inside the home or apartment. These may be purchased at any hardware store.
HOLIDAY FIRE SAFETYFollow these tips to keep your family safe during the holidays:
• Holiday Lighting: Keep candles well away from decorations or other combustible material. Do not leave children unattended in a room lit with candles. Never use candles to decorate Christmas trees. When decorating with lights, be sure to use only lights labeled by a testing laboratory. Do not overload electrical circuits, and unplug all lights before leaving home or going to bed.
• Holiday Parties: Decorate with only fl ame-retardant or non-combustible materials. Provide large, deep ashtrays and check them frequently. After parties, check furniture and trashcans for cigarette butts that may be smoldering.
• Christmas Trees: Choose a fresh tree. Place it in a stand designed not to tip over and keep it well away from heat sources and exits. Water the tree frequently. If you use an artifi cial tree, be sure it is fi re-retardant.

Please be aware that weather conditions and snow coverage may necessitate that residential water bills be based on estimated reads rather than actual meter reads. The two water reads most likely to be affected by weather conditions are the reads conducted in early January and early March.
Most residential customers are familiar with the concept of estimates since electric bills are routinely based on estimated reads. Should an estimate be higher or lower than actual usage, it will correct itself at the time of the next actual read.
While the Water Department prefers to perform actual reads, the safety of staff is a priority. If you are concerned that the estimate will differ from actual usage we invite you to provide us with an actual read in place of the estimate. Please be aware that we would need this information promptly in early January or early March.
