Some of the office carpeting is so worn that it is a tripping hazard. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, carpeting is notorious for trapping dust mites, which is one of the worst enemies for allergies.

I would like to purchase pairs of trailers in order to mount pairs of signs as the signs are usually used in pairs. Cost listed is for 1 pair of trailers at $6,000 each trailer equipped and delivered. This project can be completed by purchasing all 4 pair of trailers in one year or some combination of pairs over a number of years depending on the availability of funding. The sooner the purchase, the sooner the signs can be put into service. Trailers only as we already have the signs Project # CS-16-01 Priority 3 Justification Portable electronic message signs (PCMS) are becoming more and more common and expected for traffic incidents, road maintenance projects and special events. Wisconsin DOT makes installing permanent signs part of every major highway construction project (like the West Beltline Hwy) and the portable ones are seen at every construction project to better inform drivers of road conditions. These signs are now best practice if not actually required equipment for highway construction and maintenance projects. There are increasing calls from the Public Works, Water Utility and Police Departments for the signs for city projects ranging from traffic enforcement alert messages, annual street painting, water main breaks, increased road reconstruction projects, event traffic detours. These activities have called for up to 4 signs at a time; some deployments have lasted weeks making them unavailable for other needs during that time. Some requests have not been honored as the signs have been unavailable. It is apparent that as time goes on there will be increasing need for them. At the same time the original pair of trailers is now 6 years old and these will begin to show wear and will eventually need replacement. We currently have 4 trailer-mounted PCMS like what I am requesting, plus 2 battery operated ones on home-made trailers. The solar trailers make the signs more useful by providing them with a stable, higher and more visible, transportable and quickly erectable mount with a longer lasting power supply (2 weeks) versus a 12 hour portable battery pack power supply on the home-made trailers and ground mounted posts that leave the signs more exposed to accidental and vandal damage (collision or tip over) due to their less stable and lower mount. Multiple trailer-mounted signs provide more flexibility to provide sign services to the increasing number of multiple City construction and maintenance projects, City- sponsored community events and for emergency incidents throughout the City of Middleton.

Following the removal of the tile lines, the soil conduit will be disabled, and the area cleared of invasive species. After the regarding the area will be replanted with native seeds provided by the Friends of Pheasant Branch. We propose to team again with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to restore this area of drain tile impacting the wetland. U.S. Fish and Wildlife can procure necessary permits for the restoration and assist with some funding ($1,000). Alice Thompson of Thompson and Associates Wetland Services will do field work to establish the restoration plan and coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the City. Once permits are secured the City can contract with an excavator to crush the drain tiles and preform any other restoration work. We may need to do some brush work as well to allow for better access to remove the drain tile. The restored marsh soils will be planted with native wetland seed provided by FOPB donation ($1,000). Project # CL-16-05 Priority n/a Justification The Pheasant Branch Conservancy has a biologically diverse interior, but like many natural areas, the outer edge of the preserve has multiple impacts from the surrounding land use, including historic agriculture, urban development and stormwater runoff. We know from historic photos that the slopes surrounding the wetland and much of the interior was farmed, and some areas were drained to facilitate farming. In 2013 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service teamed with the City of Middleton to restore about 5 acres of seep fed wetland on the west edge of the marsh was that drained by the installation of sub surface drain tiles. A similar area exists on the southeast side of the marsh downslope from Wood Creek Condo’s adjacent Pheasant Branch Creek (north of the foot bridge). Two drain tile lines were identified by Dino Hellenbrand and located by Mike Engel, Private Lands Manager of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These tiles drain the water out of the soils emptying the water into the marsh, thus degrading the wetland. The tile lines are approximately 200 and 250 feet long draining approximately three acres of wetlands. Reed canary grass and other invasive weedy plants dominate this area. This is the last area of drain tile in the Conservancy to the best of our knowledge.

A paved porous asphalt path to be installed from Middleton Beach Road into the park to provide needed ADA access routes to all play areas. A passive 6-foot wide gravel walking trail system (no bikes) on the upland berms within the Mary E. Jacobson Conservancy will provide access to the neighboring community. Two six foot wide boardwalk segments will connect Middleton Beach Road to the gravel walking trail and to passive use areas. This will include the Dementia Friendly Alliance Memory Walk noted in the master plan. ($63,200) 2. Re-configuration the roadside vegetated swale, parallel to the west side of Middleton Beach Road. A sediment scrape will excavate approximately 600 cubic yards of soil. The scrape will remove reed canary sod which includes the roots, seed and tillers that are invasive. Native species will be planted in the swale to function as a shallow open water habitat area. ($80,350) Project # CL-17-03 Priority 1 Justification 1. The paving will provide ADA access to the park play areas, and keep the park in ADA compliance. The need for additional trails in this area has been previously noted in the approved 2011-2016 City of Middleton Conservancy Lands Plan and 2014-2019 City of Middleton Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan. Per master plan recommendations, an improved trail system will give walkers, joggers, bikers, birders, and anglers an excellent opportunity for alternative transportation and outdoor recreational use. Interpretive signs will educate the public about Alzheimer’s and dementia, childhood obesity, health and fish/wildlife habitat restoration as they encounter this unique area. 2. Currently the streambanks and floodplains in the area are composed of silts, sands, and fine gravel. This swale connects to the lake through two 38-inch by 60-inch horizontal elliptical stormwater pipes under Middleton Beach Road. These double culverts flow into Lake Mendota and are usually clogged with sediment, leaves and debris from upstream areas. The removal of reed canary sod, the restoration of more adequate hydrology and the removal of spoils or sediment shall set up a more favorable circumstance to re-introduce native plants while providing ecological benefits to the insects, amphibians, reptiles, and fish found within the creek and corridor. Stabilization of bank sediments and habitat enhancement associated with this project will help address sediment loading and degraded habitat, which are impairments listed for this watershed, as well as help decrease the sediment problem for the residents living along the outfall where the ditch enters Lake Mendota. Additionally, Blanding’s turtles and fish could be stocked in this area to increase biodiversity at the site. A similar project was completed in 2011 near the Harbor Village Condo Complex. In this area, a shallow seasonally inundated area was created near where Pheasant Branch crosses Century Avenue and flows into Lake Mendota. As predicted, pike and bluegill have been plentiful in this area since the project’s inception. Numerous studies have shown that the greatest egg densities in pike spawning areas occur on flooded native prairie grasses when available.

A streambank stabilization project was completed in October of 2013 to mitigate severe channel and bank erosion occurring in the reach of the South Fork of the Pheasant Branch Creek between Greenway Blvd and Deming Way caused by rapid urbanization of the drainage area and resulting increased flood peaks and water volumes. This project was largely successful although a few areas of erosion are developing due to surface water flows coming from adjacent parking lots to the west.

The design of a forebay for storm water entering Stricker’s Pond from the city of Middleton, similar to the one on the Madison side of the pond, may address all of the issues raised. A sediment forebay constructed to hold stormflow from incoming discharge points would enhance pollutant removal by allowing phosphorous laden sediments to settle out from the incoming storm water runoff before being delivered to the main pond. Stormflow could be piped directly to the forebay eliminating standing water at the southern end of Stricker’s Park. This would help meet one of the goals of the Middleton’s Park and Open Space Plan for 2007-2012 by helping to maintain an adequate amount of active and passive recreational land to meet current and future recreational needs.

The work will include resurfacing of approximately 1,000 linear feet of asphalt path with porous pavement. Several small sections throughout the path will be completely removed and infiltration materials placed underneath the path before the porous pavement connections are installed. The exact number and size of rain gardens and porous pavement connections will be based on design calculations of stormwater volumes at the site. Project # CL-17-09 Priority 1 Justification In 2014, the City of Middleton constructed a two-acre forebay/wetland complex in an area that was dominated by cattails and reed canary grass on the west side of Tiedeman Pond near Woodside Heights Park. The wetland complex is designed to maximize available habitat as well as aid in the removal of pollutants through plant uptake, microbial breakdown, retention, settling, and absorption; ultimately helping to control weed growth and algal blooms in Tiedeman Pond and Lake Mendota. Yet there is still a considerable amount of stormwater run-off that comes off the roads, houses, asphalt and basketball court at the site. The Woodside Heights Park Rain Garden and Trail Enhancement Project would treat that stormwater and reduce flooding of paths due to stormwater at the site. This design would include porous pavement and rain gardens to allow for the absorption and infiltration of rainwater and snow melt onsite. These measures will be installed to reduce surface runoff volumes and rates by allowing stormwater to infiltrate underlying soils to reduce flooding at the site during intense rain events. Additionally the department would reassess and design the park entry path on the Voss Parkway side for improvements to pavement and ADA access.

Finally, ecologists would report back on findings and propose solutions to foster the continued presence of this threatened species in the area. Project # CL-17-13 Priority 3 Justification The Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan identifies a predicted negative trend for Blanding’s turtle numbers in Wisconsin and also identifies Wisconsin as a state of importance for global Blanding’s numbers. The Blanding’s turtle is a state threatened species (S3) whose populations are declining due to decreased habitat quality and increased mortality associated with development loss of adult females from vehicle traffic during their migration to nesting grounds and increased nest disturbance by predators such as cats and dogs). Fragmentation of habitat and an increased presence of invasive species such as giant reed and hybrid cattail have made wetlands in Middleton less suitable for Blanding’s turtles. Work is in progress by Thompson and Associates and the City of Middleton to improve turtle habitat quality within Pheasant Branch Conservancy by reducing the extent of invasive species. The purpose of continued monitoring is to expand knowledge of Blanding’s turtle habits and habitats within the City in order to inform appropriate conservation actions, such as the protection of current nesting areas, addition of alternative nesting sites, restoration of connectivity between habitat areas, and possible location of permanent wildlife underpasses to reduce Blanding’s mortality.

This will also install remotely operated room darkening shade equipment on the upper clerestory windows in the EMS station training room and replace the failing analog AV projection system in the training room. Project # E-16-01 Priority 2 Justification The casework and cabinetry that was originally installed in the EMS building for storage of employee’s personal protective gear and uniforms was based upon the staffing model of 12 full-time paramedics each of who work a 56-hour average work week. Starting in mid-2015, the paramedics transitioned to a 52-hour work week and in mid-2016 will they make the final transition to a 48-hour work week. At the point of the final transition, we will be adding two additional permanent full-time paramedics. These personnel will not have any areas which they will be able to store their protective gear and uniforms, so additional storage space will need to be added. Ever since we moved into our building in September of 2010, we have dealt with an unintended design flaw in our training room. For purposes of energy conservation, upper clerestory windows were installed in the training room area, with the intention of using “natural” lighting instead of electrical lighting whenever the room is being used during daylight hours. Unfortunately this works too well and whenever multi-media presentations are used during training sessions, the intense sunlight floods the room and class participants cannot see the “washed out” images that are being displayed on the projection screen. The only way to alleviate this problem is to install some sort of remotely operated room darkening shade system to cover the east and west clerestory windows. In addition, the original analog AV projection system used for training is beginning to fail. The large projection screen is no longer able to be brought up/down due to a deterioration of the fire retardant coating. The analog projector is also incompatible with modern digital media and computers (most computers today only have HDMI outputs and longer have VGA ports on them), so many instructors who come to teach at our facility encounter difficulties when trying to deliver multi-media presentations. The projector lamp is also getting very weak and the cost of replacing the lamp itself is over half the cost of purchasing a brand new projector.

Project # E-18-01 Priority 3 Justification Way back in 2002 and 2003, EMS did a community wide fundraising event that raised money to buy a total of 13 AED’s. Six of these units were put into PD squad cars, one went to the fire department, and the other six were put in city buildings (City Hall, Library, Golf Course, EMS, Aquatic Center, and the Senior Center). Since that time, an additional 14 AED’s have been purchased by various city agencies out of their own budgets (3 by the fire department, 2 by EMS, 2 by Public Works, and 7 by the Police Department). EMS has committed to keeping all 27 of these AED’s updated with the latest software and stocked with new defibrillation pads, other disposable medical supplies, and batteries over their useful life. This alone has an impact on our budget of over $5,200 each year. However, we do not have the ability to absorb the cost of replacing the AED’s when they reach the end of their useful life, or if any of them need significant repairs. Since we started the AED program 14 years ago, we have had 2 out of 27 units fail which required costly repairs – both of them were PD units. The first repair that occurred in July 2013 was paid for by EMS in the amount of $400. We also paid the cost of $630 to complete the repairs on the second AED from the PD. The problem is that going forward, without some additional funding from the city, we cannot be on the hook for repair or replacement of all 27 of the AED’s that are deployed across the city. As I stated before, we are already are investing $5,200 a year just to keep these AED’s ready for use on a daily basis. Beyond the initial 12 units that were purchased, individual city departments have elected to “expand their fleet” of AED’s and they were purchased by those departments with their own resources. EMS assisted each of those departments to purchase those AEDs because we have access to substantial discounts from the manufacturer (Zoll) that those departments would not otherwise have been able to get on their own. But as time moves on, we (EMS) certainly cannot be expected to pay for repair or replacement of all of these additional 14 units that were purchased electively by these departments. If we had to pay to replace all 27 units at $1,500 each – that is a hefty sum of over $40,500, which is not something that we can absorb within the confines of the existing EMS operational budget, which leads to the point that was made earlier. So far, we have had a reasonably good experience with these AED’s. The only 2 repairs have been for PD units that were purchased back in 2002. The other 25 units have not had any problems - yet. At some point, I suspect we are going to face more AED units that will need to be repaired. One can make a good argument that the cost to repair this latest unit ($630) is 40% of the cost of a new AED, so why not just keep on fixing them? The problem is that we also do want to set up a situation where an aging AED could fail during an emergency and potentially result in a life not being saved. Unfortunately, Zoll cannot give any indication of the life expectancy of an AED. They are designed to be easily updated via software revisions. But there is no reliable way to predict the hardware life expectancy. Some of this is likely related to the environment in which they are used. Clearly an AED that is hauled around in a squad car in a wide range of environmental conditions is more likely to have problems when compared to an AED that sits in a building in a protective cabinet on the wall. We need to put a plan forth for future replacements of the older AED’s (six of which are PD units) at some yet to be determined milestone (15 years?). BUT, going forward, EMS cannot assume the cost for repairing any electively purchased units by any city department, nor can we fund the replacement of any AED’s that have reached the end of their useful life.

We are requesting financial support to purchase two automated CCDs in order to provide patients with the best available emergency care. An automated CCD delivers superior cardiac compressions when compared to the variability in compression depth and rate that is normally found when human rescuers perform manual compressions. Due to improved perfusion from adequate, constant chest compressions from an automated CCD, cardiac drugs will be able to circulate faster and more completely, improving the chances of inducing a cardiac that can be defibrillated. Concurrent with restoring blood flow to normal levels, venipuncture for IV therapy has a better chance to be successfully completed. Automated CCDs also have been reported to reduce the risk of rib fractures and cartilage damage that is routinely encountered with manual chest compression during conventional CPR techniques. The use of an automated CCD for pre-hospital care translates into optimal patient care during the cardiac arrest event and dramatically increases the potential for increased survival rates. Project # E-19-01 Priority 4 Justification Historically, over 8% of the ALS level ambulance calls that are responded to each year by MEMS require the performance of CPR. Performing a cost-benefit analysis in this situation is difficult when the cost is expressed as the loss of a life, and the benefit is a life saved. The overall benefit of this project to our community can simply be stated as the ability for Middleton EMS to achieve a significant reduction in mortality and morbidity for victims of cardiac arrest. We only need to look at the recently released American Heart Association (AHA) Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Guidelines 2010 which now places the absolute highest priority upon properly performed CPR. The new guidelines require rescuers to perform five cycles of 30 compressions and two ventilations between defibrillation attempts. As compared to previous standards for CPR, these new compression/ventilation ratios cause significant rescuer fatigue and exhaustion, which is why the AHA is also recommending that the rescuer who is performing chest compressions on the patient be switched every two minutes to avoid degradation in the quality and effectiveness of the CPR. Because of this new standard, we will need to have many more rescuers available at the resuscitation scene to rotate through the chest compressor role. But, because the automated CCD can deliver compressions non-stop for a virtually unlimited period of time, it will allow the rescuers to do other critical patient care tasks like securing the airway, starting IVs, administering drugs, defibrillation, packaging and moving the patient, as well as other necessary functions that are required by ACLS treatment protocols. As we come to understand the value of continuous correctly performed chest compressions on patient survival, and our knowledge that rescuers can only do high quality compressions for about 2 minutes at a stretch, an automated CCD will ensure the best patient care possible and improve the outcome and survival of cardiac arrest patients. Besides improving the quality of patient care, the use of an automated CCD will also reduce the risk of personal injury to the EMS crew and the firefighters who assist them on cardiac arrest calls. Rescuers are always at risk when it is necessary for them to perform CPR in awkward positions while moving patients through narrow and winding corridors, or descending treacherous stairways in multi-level residential settings. Furthermore, the risk of injury is high should an impact occur during transport to the hospital while firefighters and EMS personnel are performing CPR while standing unrestrained in the back of a moving ambulance. Another factor related to the use of human personnel to perform CPR that negatively affects patient care can be found in the ambulance patient compartment environment, where there is a very limited amount of space that rapidly becomes cramped whenever several people hover around the patient during resuscitation attempts. Having an automated CCD on the patient frees up that space for caregivers and allows uncluttered access to patient.

Approx.: 60 reels. Each reel is ground at least once during the winter. Some are touched up during season as well. Project # GC-16-02 Priority 2 Justification Our current grinder is using outdated technology and is incapable of grinding the newest greens mower reels (9 reels at this time). Current grinder is not enclosed, allowing grinding dust to disperse though out the rest of the shop. This contaminates other projects with grinding dust that may be going on at the same time (Engine rebuilding, cutting unit rebuilding, bearing replacements. Critical items that require cleanliness). Currently dust is handled using fans and a vacuum to attempt to direct dust back towards grinder. Shop has no means of air exchange. All workers in shop have to wear dust masks all day. Also current grinder without enclosure is very loud. All workers in shop have to wear ear protection all day. Long term exposure to noise and grinding dust has caused concern among workers. Newer grinders also can grind quicker and more accurately than current grinder. Newer grinders also have more automation allowing operator to walk away from grinding process.

Project # GC-16-03 Priority 2 Justification Current spray vehicle is very old. Many major parts are no longer available or available at great cost. (Example: High gear in rear axle is damaged and no longer works. Machine can only be driven in low gear now. New rear axle was available for $4500 with a 3 month lead time to get it. Unacceptable for a machine that is used on average 2 to 3 days a week). Current spray technology allows controlling one boom (There are 3 separate booms) at a time on and off. New spray technology allows individual spray nozzles to be turned on individually one at a time. This reduces the amount of spray that is wasted when it’s applied to areas around greens and tees that do not benefit from the product being applied. Second sprayer in fleet is not reliable or accurate enough to completely replace first if a major failure were to happen. Second sprayer is only used to apply chemicals that don’t require great accuracy. If major failure were to happen to primary sprayer, a rental unit would be needed.

Ability to pull trailer, plow parking lots and driveways. Make runs to city hall, public works garage, pick up chemicals, parts and hardware. Ideal vehicle- One ton 4x4 pickup. Extended cab with a dump box. Project # GC-16-05 Priority 3 Justification Current vehicle is not in running condition and has very bad rust damage to frame, brake system, and suspension components. Currently the City of Middleton plows snow in driveway and parking lot of the maintenance shed, but it seems to be a low priority for them. Areas are never cleaned before workers arrive and often times they are not cleaned yet by the end of the day. Currently all other uses for the truck (parts, chemical, hardware, paperwork runs) are being done with workers personal vehicles. This brings up the question of how insurance covers them if they are driving somewhere for official business, while clocked in, in their personal vehicle if an accident or vehicle breakdown were to occur. Personal vehicles are used for such work on average of 4 times a week. Current mileage accrued by staff this year on personal vehicles at this time is just over 1500 miles. These miles will be turned in for reimbursement at end of year; a cost to the City that could be eliminated. Lastly, with the addition of private parties during the winter months, we need to have a plow on site to ensure our guests can continue to use the facility when we have a snow fall. We had a situation where too much snow built up in 2014 and we had to cancel the private party, which would obviously reduce our revenue stream. The Parks department currently plows our driveway and parking lot for us and they do a tremendous job. We are hoping to tag team this effort going forward, which would help the Parks crew out as well as the PVGC staff and guests.

($180,000) Project # PR-16-05 Priority 1 Justification The existing sand play area at the Aquatic Center is in need of a complete remodel due to broken and worn equipment. Upon the 2012 ADA inspection by John McGovern from Recreation Accessibility Specialists, LLC, it was found to be non-compliant. As a major public area and priority use zone with intense summer use periods, these ADA deficits have a higher priority for correction due to the health and safety compliance issues documented. RAC recommended the entire sand area be revised with ADA appropriate play features and rubberized safety surfacing. The retrofit costs would be in excess of $65,000. We have five years to make these improvements before we are liable for non-compliance. We are recommending a new approach to providing an ADA compliant play area that is better suited for this area. Since the facility was built in 1998, there have been no amenity changes. Over 30,000 patrons use the aquatic center annually. The splash pad design also removes the long term maintenance needs and costs of sand migrating into the pool gutters and mechanical pumps, etc., which costs time and money to keep sand free. The sand is dragged across the pool deck and also backs up into the sand grate, which causes water to overflow, posing a safety hazard. We also lose a large quantity of sand down the storm drain located at the entry of the sand area, which goes into Pheasant Branch Creek below. This is a non-point source of water pollution and is not a sustainable design. The splash pad will remove this NPS water issue and replace it with a green sustainable choice; whereby the used potable water will flow through the system and be able to be recharged into the creek and groundwater source naturally. Pheasant Branch Creek is a priority stream noted by DNR and it is our responsibility to protect preserve and restore it. This water play area will become environmentally sustainable over time rather than the costly non-compliant sand area. Staff has met with Water Utility staff, Public Works staff, and licensed storm water engineers to review the current water and storm sewer systems and what would work best for this retrofit. The splash pad design chosen provides the most water conservation measures: sustainable storm sewer management and reduced electric power needs. This splash pad will use significantly less water than what is used for soccer and baseball field maintenance.

Due to the fact that the three highest mileage vehicles in the fleet are marked units, we are looking to forgo the replacement of an unmarked vehicle in 2016 and concentrate on the replacement of the marked units. In examining the remaining vehicles in our fleet, it is believed that we should be able to return to the practice of replacing two marked and one unmarked, for the foreseeable future, once the 2016 replacements are completed. Project # PD-16-01 Priority 2 Justification City of Middleton Mechanic Brian Gebhard is recommending that marked squads used in patrol be replaced every three years, when they have reached between seventy and eighty thousand miles, due to maintenance costs and appearance. Gebhard has estimated that the annual increase in vehicle maintenance costs for patrol units above the eighty thousand mile mark is between $3,000.00 and $4,000.00. As has been the case for the past several years, City Mechanics do not have the requisite time to tear down old squads and build-out new squads, so this work will be completed by General Communications. The labor cost, and that of the required new equipment, is included in the vehicle pricing below. Two marked squad cars, both Ford Crown Vitoria models, and a marked Chevrolet Tahoe will be rotated out of service and auctioned. The estimated proceeds from the auction is $2,000.00 for each Ford and $1,000.00 for the Chevrolet. These three vehicles will be replaced with Ford Police Interceptor AWD SUV’s. The cost for each of these new patrol units, with all of the necessary police equipment installed, is $43,256 per unit. The total cost of the three new vehicles, minus the proceeds of the auction is $124,768.00. Estimate of Future Year Vehicle Replacement Expenses 2016: 3 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s @ $43,256.00 per, minus a $5,000.00 credit from the auctioning of replaced vehicles: $124,768.00. 2017: 2 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s @ $46,200.00 per, and one unmarked vehicle @ $33,500.00, minus a $5,000.00 credit from the auctioning of replaced vehicles: $120,900.00. 2018: 2 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s @ $47,125.00 per, and one unmarked vehicle @ $34,200.00, minus a $5,000.00 credit from the auctioning of replaced vehicles: $123,450.00. 2019: 2 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s @ $48,070.00 per, and one unmarked vehicle @ $34,900.00, minus a $5,000.00 credit from the auctioning of replaced vehicles: $126,040.00. 2020: 2 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s @ $49,030.00 per, and one unmarked vehicle @ $35,600.00, minus a $5,000.00 credit from the auctioning of replaced vehicles: $128,660.00.

This is the third and final year of a three year plan to replace all of the Department’s aging and unsupported X26 Taser units. The Department received thirteen new Tasers in both 2014 and 2015, and is looking to replace the final eleven units in 2016. The new generation of Electronic Control Devices is the Taser X2. This ECD has two cartridges (so an officer does not have to reload), has two laser aim points (instead of one) and has digital versus analog electronics. The Taser Assurance Plan is a five year warranty and has the added benefit of being able to trade in the X2’s after five years for the latest Taser ECD at no cost.

Estimated cost: $30,550.00. Thirty Panasonic Arbitrator body worn cameras at $975.00 each and software licensing and support at $1,300.00. Project # PD-16-03 Priority 2 Justification The current trend in American policing is to equip officers with Body Worn Cameras and to mandate their use during certain circumstances. The Final Report of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, published in May, 2015, calls for the widespread use of Body Worn Cameras, noting “the adoption of Body Worn Camera programs is a means to improve evidence collection, to strengthen officer performance and accountability, and to enhance agency transparency. By documenting encounters between police and the public, Body Worn Cameras can also be used to investigate and resolve complaints about officer-involved incidents. A 12-month study strongly suggests that the use of Body Worn Cameras by the police can significantly reduce both officer use of force and complaints against officers. The study found that the officers wearing the cameras had 87.5 percent fewer incidents of use of force and 59 percent fewer complaints than the officers not wearing the cameras. One of the important findings of the study was the impact Body Worn Cameras might have on the self-awareness of officers and citizens alike. When police officers are acutely aware that their behavior is being monitored (because they turn on the cameras) and when officers tell citizens that the cameras are recording their behavior, everyone behaves better. The results of this study strongly suggest that this increase in self-awareness contributes to more positive outcomes in police-citizen interaction.” The expectation nationally and locally is that Police Officers will wear and use Body Worn Cameras. We have an obligation to the people we work with and for to provide the transparency of our actions. Body Worn Cameras can also decrease potential criminal and civil liability.

Project # PD-16-04 Priority 2 Justification In-Car video provides important evidentiary information and an unbiased and accurate view of police actions. In our litigious society, In-Car video is no longer a luxury, but standard in policing. If we can prevent a serious injury, prevent a lawsuit, or gather a critical piece of evidence in a criminal case, In-Car video will have been worth the investment. Current units were due to be replaced in 2015. They are becoming less reliable, parts are difficult to procure (we’re currently obtaining memory cards on E-Bay), wireless download is not working properly and some digital recordings have been lost, putting the Department in an awkward and possibly liable position with the Court System.

Project # PD-17-01 Priority 2 Justification The current 911 phone system was purchased in late 2009 and placed into use in April of 2010. Due to the evolution of technology, the exact system requirements necessary for migration to "Next Gen" 911 could not be anticipated. As technology and methods of communication have evolved, so has the necessity to upgrade the 911 infrastructure to allow citizens to contact the police and request emergency assistance through various communication methods. According to AT&T, it is anticipated that the State of Wisconsin will be in a position to begin the migration to a digital 911 network during the next three to five years.

The time taken for the beam to be reflected is used to determine the distance to the object and a number of timed readings are used to calculate the distance over time (i.e. speed). Radar systems transmit radio waves at a specific frequency. When the waves are reflected back off moving objects this causes a change in frequency which is detected by the receiver. The device then calculates the speed as a result of the amount of change in frequency. These devices are key to speed enforcement by the police. Project # PD-17-03 Priority 3 Justification Speed is a common factor in traffic crashes and is consistently cited as the biggest problem in Middleton neighborhoods. Most motorists view speed limit regulations as legitimate and voluntarily comply most of the time. However, for some drivers, deterrence, surveillance, and sanctions are necessary to ensure compliance. Police use speed detection devices (Laser/Radar) to gather the evidence of speeding necessary to warn and cite speeders. Historically, we have had radar units in all patrol vehicles supplemented by two lasers, which are more effective in heavy traffic. The bulk of the speed detection equipment was procured between 2004 and 2006 and will be due for replacement in 2015. $2,761 X 10 Units = $ 27,610, plus $4,400 for installations = an estimated cost of $32,010.
