    Discussion and possible action on Resolution 01-2005 regarding pay raise for village employees. This is a recommendation from the Personnel & Finance Committee. Discussion on pay increases was held. Trustee Sackett was not agreeable since a pay increase was granted in May. Trustee Enright stated that increases were meant to bring the Village of Newburg in line with other communities. Trustee Beitz believes raises should be considered in terms of what is happening across the state. Trustee Beitz read from a prepared statement as follows:

    "I think the wage increases proposed by the Personnel and Finance Committee need to be examined in the light of what is going on outside of Newburg as well as within the village.

    The front page of Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel carried a story headlined:

    "Doyle wants to cut 1,800 state jobs"

    "Gov. Jim Doyle will recommend abolishing about 1,800 more state jobs over the next two years when he gives the Legislature his proposed budget Tuesday, taking one more step toward his long-range goal of eliminating 10,000 jobs."

    The Capital Times carried an article February 7 discussing state employee compensation in the Tuesday budget message. The article contained two interesting paragraphs:

    "About half of the state’s classified employees have gone nearly two years without a pay increase – their unions are operating under 2001-2003 contracts. The general pay plan in 2003-2005 provided a wage freeze for 2003-2004 and a 1 percent increase for 2004-2005. A patient care bargaining unit is the major exception to the pattern"

    "A 1 percent pay increase, of course, is subject to Social Security taxes and state and federal income taxes. In many cases, the monthly employee premium for health insurance is higher than the increase in take-home pay. Eleven of the 19 bargaining units continue to work under 2001-2003 contract provisions."

    The Ozaukee-Washington County section of the February 5 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that included the following information:

    "Ozaukee County has reached an agreement with unionized workers at the county-owned nursing home and with sheriff’s deputies while negotiations continue with other groups."

    "The new contract with workers at the county-owned Lasata Care Center calls for 1%wage increases retroactive to Dec. 26, 2004 and again on June 26, 2005 and Jan 1, 2006, followed by a 2% raise on July 2, 2006."

    "Lasata’s non-union employees will get a 1% wage increase retroactive to Dec. 26, 2004 and another on June 26 this year."

    Another article in the November 5, 2004 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel dealt with recommended salary increases made by the regents of the University of Wisconsin System The article included the following:

    "System employees, including faculty members, academic staff and university leaders, got raises of zero and 1% over the past two years."

    "Average annual wages in the nation’s private sector rose from 1.2% to 2.7% from 2001 to 2003, the most recent years available, according to the bureau (federal Bureau of Labor Statistics). In Wisconsin, the private sector’s average annual wage – which hovered around $32,000, about $4,500 less than the national figure – rose from 2.7% to 3% between those years."

    At the regular Board meeting of May 13, 2004 the Newburg Trustees approved the following wage increases for Village of Newburg employees:

    3% for the Deputy Clerk, and Wastewater Treatment and Public Works employees.

    3% for Election Workers

    4% for Law Enforcement

    5% for Village Clerk

    Nine months later we have a recommendation for

    4% for the Deputy Clerk, and Wastewater Treatment and Public Works employees.

    5% for Election Workers

    4% for Law Enforcement

    4% for Village Clerk

    This will result in compounded increases in less than one year of

    7.12% for the Deputy Clerk, and Wastewater Treatment and Public Works employees.

    8.15% for Election Workers

    8.16% for Law Enforcement

    9.2% for Village Clerk

    Make the comparison. For two years, the State of Wisconsin held wage increases to zero to 1% while in nine months the Village of Newburg wants to grant increases of up to 9%. How is this rational? Local governments are being seriously challenged by those in the State Legislature who want to limit the ability to raise revenue through a Constitutional Amendment on the premise that local governments do not have enough restraint to be responsible stewards of the taxpayers money. The Governor, in his Tuesday night budget address, made it clear that he favors at least a two-year freeze on property tax increases, so it seems almost certain some kind of limit is going to be imposed. Passing these increases would put Newburg in line as Poster Child for the advocates of state control of our local finances. If we ever hope to make a case for local control of our taxes we need to show responsibility and restraint in our spending. We have promised this to the citizens who have elected us to office and deserve to be held to this promise. "

    A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Sackett to reject Resolution #01-2005. A poll vote was taken with the following results: "YES" Trustee Beitz and Trustee Sackett. "NO" Trustee Chesak, Beimborn and Enright. Motion not passed. A motion was made by Trustee Chesak and seconded by Trustee Beimborn to adopt Resolution #01-2005 to take effect May 1, 2005. A poll vote was taken with the following results: "YES" Trustee Chesak, Beimborn and Enright. "NO" Trustee Beitz and Trustee Sackett. Motion passed with 3 Yes and 2 No vote.

  • Discussion and possible action on payment of invoice from Underground Pipeline, Inc. for $11,525.86 for work on West Interceptor Phase I – (Bridge work). A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Sackett to pay Underground Pipeline $11,525.86 for completion of West Interceptor Phase I project. Motion passed with 5 yes and 0 no vote.
  • Discussion and possible action on revising Chapter 14.11 of the Municipal Code dealing with construction on fences in the Village of Newburg. A motion was made by Trustee Beitz and seconded by Trustee Sackett to have Village Attorney Edgar revise Section 14.11 (3) and 14.11 (3)(C) as noted and return to the board. Motion passed with 5 yes and 0 no vote.
  • Discussion and possible action on replacement of sidewalk on Main Street. Also billing out for this replacement. Discussion and questions on who pays for shared part of side walk. It was requested that Village Attorney Edgar be present at the February 24, 2005 meeting to answer these questions.
