After tracing the source of a slew of water main breaks last summer and fall, the Village Board authorized emergency work Monday to repair malfunctioning water-metering equipment.
After tracing the source of a slew of water main breaks last summer and fall, the Village Board authorized emergency work Monday to repair faulty water-metering equipment. The target of the work is a concrete vault located at East Edgewood Avenue and North Downer Avenue, which holds equipment to measure water consumption and reduce the pressure at which water leaves the Milwaukee system and enters Shorewood's, according to a memo authored by Shorewood Public Works Director Leeann Butschlick. Due to age, the meter is malfunctioning, causing pressure spikes in the system, and cracking water mains, said Trustee Jeff Hanewall. The repairs are estimated to cost about $75,000. Village officials also approved a $7,700 contract with City Water …

The Village Board approved the increase Monday night, $28 more per quarter and $113 annually, to pay debt for sewer improvements.
To pay on debt related to sewer improvements in Shorewood, sewer bills will swell 33 percent, village officials say. Approved Monday night by the Village Board, the increase is effective Feb. 15 and will first be reflected on sewer bills sent out in June and July. The increase is needed to pay debt related to upgrades already completed and part of the village's $32.4 million comprehensive approach to rehabbing its outdated sewers, after the system couldn't handle torrential rains in July 2010. Based upon average use, the increase translates into a $28 quarterly increase, $113 annually, on the bill this year. Sewer tax bills are dispersed on a quarterly basis and are separate from the property tax bill calculated at the end of the year. …

Shorewood officials say they need a sewer rate hike to pay debt for sewer improvements.
A sewer tax rate increase is on the horizon for Shorewood residents as the village works to pay for debt from sewer repairs. The Village Board discussed three possible options Tuesday night to pay for debt related to sewer improvements conducted in the northwestern portion of the village, on North Downer Avenue and sewer maintenance. Without a rate increase, the village's sewer utility fund would face a cash deficit by the end of the year. If the village wants to borrow for future sewer projects, the sewer rate must bring in enough money to keep a cash balance of 33 percent of operating expenses and an operating income at 125 percent of the debt service for the previous year. Village staff presented three options: The first option, with…

A more integrated police records system along the North Shore will provide an instant line of communication from the dispatch center to police squads, but will cost more than was budgeted.
Installation of a new police records system, which Shorewood’s police chief heralded as the "complete package," will cost 2 1/2 times more than the village planned. The North Shore Consolidated Dispatch Center in Bayside opened in June, supporting police and fire dispatching services for Bayside, Brown Deer, Fox Point, River Hills, Glendale, Shorewood, and Whitefish Bay Currently, the communities use three records management providers that do not work together, creating a variety of problems including squads on the street aren't aware of where other officers are, dispatch cannot contact all cars via the computer systems or track the location of the squads. In an effort to maximize the available technology at the new dispatch center, North …

Yes, how about the money spent on trying to find the source of the foul smell in the auditorium building? It was caused by placing the compost bin next to the fresh air intake. Work is work empthy! Trash and "art" is job security for the custodians. You think they work hard? Ask how often they use the $10,000 floor machine to clean the Arena and North gym floors per year.
