The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be completing a number of projects in advance of the Verona Road Reconstruction project over the next two years (2013 and 2014). These projects are intended to address the potential for increased traffic at local intersections caused by drivers seeking alternate routes to avoid the Verona Road construction zone. The construction projects that will begin this year (2013) are listed below: Construction continues with the reconstruction of the westbound Beltline Highway entrance and exit ramps, realigning the Frontage Road in the northwest quadrant of the interchange, and widening the Fish Hatchery Road bridge. The bridge will be widened to better accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicular traffic. The north bound Fish Hatchery Road to west bound Beltline on-ramp movement will be modified to require a left turn onto the ramp as opposed to the current configuration which requires a right turn. Fish Hatchery Road will be reconstructed from the eastbound Beltline off-ramp intersection to just north of Emil/Ann Street. Traffic will be maintained on Fish Hatchery Road for the duration of the project. This project is anticipated to be completed in August 2013.

Changes in the Urban Service Area/Burn Permits
In early 2012 the urban service area boundaries were updated. Due to this change some residents that were previously able to obtain burn permits are no longer able to do so. The regulations for the burn permits have not changed. The residents in the following areas are no longer able to obtain burn permits: East of south Syene Road to Hwy 14; and from Tarpleywick Hills neighborhood north to the City limits. These areas are outlined in red on the map.
Burn Permit Regulations
Any open, recreational, or cooking fires shall be constantly attended by a competent person until such fire is extinguished. This person shall have a garden hose connected to a water supply or other fire-extinguishing equipment readily available for use.
Who can burn/who needs a burn permit?

If you are a resident that lives in the City of Fitchburg that wishes to burn the ordinary combustibles you need a burn permit to do so. You must live outside the urban service area to receive a permit for open burning. If you live inside the urban service area, open burning is prohibited. However recreational and cooking fires are permitted. You still must call for a burn permit.
What can be burned?

Tree limbs, brush, and wood may be burned. Burning of all other materials is prohibited this includes trash.
When can I burn?

During daylight hours only. If you call for a burning permit just before dark, you will not be issued one.
Where can I burn?

All open burning must be a minimum of 50 feet from any structure. Any recreational fires must be a minimum of 25 feet from any structure. All conditions that could cause a fire to spread to within 25 feet of a structure must be eliminated prior to ignition of the fire.
How long are burn permits good for?

Only issued on the day that you call and are good for one day only.
How can I get a burn permit?

Call Firehouse #1 at 278-2980, during normal business, and request a burn permit.
You Changed Your Clocks, Did You Change Your Batteries?

Just a couple of weeks ago, everyone moved their clocks ahead one hour due to day lights savings. However, did you remember to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors? If not, you should. We all know that smoke alarms can save lives when operating properly. Most smoke alarms are battery operated or have battery backup features. It is important to test your alarms each month to assure that the battery has adequate power to operate the alarm. Smoke alarms have a monitoring system for the battery and start chirping when the battery is low. Many lives are lost each year due to non-working smoke alarms. Maybe someone took the battery for a game or radio, or removed the battery to stop the chirping, someone burned some food while cooking and took the battery out, or maybe they were going to replace it and forgot. Because of these findings throughout the years, the program Change Your Clock - Change Your Battery was developed. If everyone follows this program they should never be subject to a nonworking smoke detector due to a missing or weak battery. The action is simple and we are reminded each year at daylight savings time. If a specific battery type is recommended by the manufacturer, then thats the one to use. Whether one is recommended or not, always be sure you are purchasing a fresh battery by checking the dates on the battery. The average life of a smoke detector is approximately 10 years. If your detector is older than 10 years, it should be replaced. Check the manufacturers recommendation on the care and replacement of a smoke detector for detailed information about the model that you have in your house.

Police Department Field Training Program
The current Field Training Program the Fitchburg Police Department utilizes was established in 1983. It has grown from one field training officer in 1983, to eleven field training officers, and three field training sergeants in 2013. After their selection to become a field training officer, each field training officer successfully completes a 40-hour comprehensive training program. In addition, each field training sergeant successfully completes a 24-hour field training supervisor program. Each new officer hired has to successfully complete a 14-week Field Training Program, which is broken up into four steps. Steps 1 through 3 consists of 4 six-day work cycles, and Step 4 consists of 2 six-day shadow phases. The probationary officer is assigned a different field training officer for each step. After the probationary officer completes Step 4 of the Field Training Program, they advance to Step 5, which is considered solo patrol. During the remainder of their 18- month probationary period, the officer completes one check-out ride a month with a field training officer. The checkout ride is to ensure the officer is still progressing through their probationary status satisfactorily. The role of the field training officer is to teach, demonstrate, and evaluate the probationary officer as they are with the officer for 8 hours a day. The field training officer trains the probationary officer on 26 separate task sheets, and the probationary officer has to demonstrate proficiency on each of these tasks before they are allowed to sign off that they have completed them. The role of the field training sergeant is to schedule the field training assignments, complete weekly progress meetings with the probationary and field training officer, and complete a weekly progress report. The field training sergeant ensures the probationary officer is progressing satisfactorily. If not, they design any additional training needed or complete performance improvement plans for the probationary officer.
Driving Tips
Weather conditions fluctuate much more often during the spring season than any other season which means hazardous conditions on the roadways. At any time during the spring months the roadways could have melting snow and icy highways including additional hazards such as freezing rain, mist and heavy fog. Such hazard conditions require additional vigilance by motorist when navigating the roadways. When on the roadways a driver needs to slow down and increase the following distances between the vehicles ahead when freezing rain or mist begins to fall. A vehicle will need two to ten times more distance to stop on wet roadways than on dry pavement. Make sure you use your low beam headlights as high beams will reflect off the fog making it harder to see. If you are driving in the rain or fog that totally impairs visibility, pull off the road as far as possible and turn on your hazard lights. Avoid driving through any large puddles that have formed on the roadways. The splashing water may affect your brakes, causing your vehicle to swerve and/or impair the vision of other motorist. If you observe the vehicle ahead is leaving tire tracks on the pavement it means either snow or icy conditions are forming on the roadway. It is best to follow in the other vehicles tracks and reduce your vehicle speed to prevent possible hydroplaning or sliding out of control. It is very important to watch for icy conditions caused by thawing snow, spring rains or freezing fog/mist. Slippery conditions will occur in shaded areas, on bridges and overpasses before other areas. Finally, keep a visual on pedestrians who may be less alert in the rain and/or fog when crossing roadways. Under such weather conditions, it is more difficult for both pedestrians and motorists to see each other. By following these simple driving tips, a motorist in such traffic hazards should enjoy a safe trip to their destination.
Building Site Security

Spring is a busy time of the year for builders. Many people start the construction of their new home. Unfortunately building and construction sites attract unwanted attention. The combination of high value equipment, tools and building materials make them an obvious target for thieves. They also attract trespassers and vandals. Job site crime drains builders budgets, drives up insurance costs, and causes delays in the projects schedule. Here are some common-sense practices builders can implement to reduce theft from their sites: Fence the site. A fence will keep general site seers out and create a barrier, which may convince a possible intruder to pass by. Also change security codes for entry doors periodically. Employees come and go and if you never change codes they can gain entry to your sites. Install security lighting. Most sites have temporary power to allow for security lighting to be installed. Overnight lighting allows police patrols to see anyone who may be wondering around or trespassing on your building site. Sign your property. Put up NO TRESPASSING signs and announce violators will be prosecuted. Give the police a 24-hour contact number or post a contact telephone number at the site. If they apprehend someone on your site after work hours they can contact you to verify if the person belongs on the site and get needed information to make an arrest. Protect your building materials. Schedule deliveries so items can be installed or partially installed to prevent theft. Many A/C units, furnaces, cabinets, plumbing fixtures and other appliances are delivered to sites left sitting in an unlocked garage. These are targeted items. Two people can load an item on a truck or trailer and be gone with it in minutes. Mark all your tools and equipment with your own identification mark. Engraving a number or painting the item with special color paint can do this. Thieves often remove serial number plates attached by the manufacturer. Also keep an inventory record of all tools and equipment with make, model and serial number information. All this will help law enforcement recover items for you. Lock tools at job sites. Dont leave tools sitting out at job sites. Lock tools in job boxes. At the end of the workday assign one employee to check and secure the site. If you experience theft from a job site report it to police immediately. Its important they know this is happening so they can increase patrols and attempt to catch the person responsible.

Storm Water Catalytic Project
When the City received approval to bring the north part of the McGaw Park Neighborhood into the Urban Service Area, concern was expressed over decreasing stream flows and reduced ground water levels. To address these concerns, the Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC) imposed a requirement that the area control post development storm water runoff to be equal to or less than predevelopment runoff for the one and five year average annual rainfall events (also known as 100% runoff capture). Current standards require sites to control up to 90% of the predevelopment runoff, but meeting the last 10% was believed to pose issues to site development. To address site development concerns, the City and CARPC obtained a grant from the federal Sustainable Communities program to conduct a study to determine what combination of methods may best be used to meet the CARPC standard for the north part of the McGaw Neighborhood without compromising development density for the site. The City engaged Emmons and Olivier Resources (E&O) to conduct the study. E&O reviewed the McGaw Park Neighborhood Plan and current storm water regulations; undertook a review of the literature to determine what techniques exist and their effectiveness; conducted modeling analysis on a variety of techniques based on soil information in the plan; and conducted a charrette to present information and obtain input from landowners, storm water designers, and developers. E&O determined that the CARPC storm water regulation can be met by applying a variety of storm water techniques, often referred to as Best Management Practices (BMPs). E&O applied a variety of techniques to two different hypothetical development block areas. The result is a tool box that provides a variety of techniques to storm water designers to meet the CARPC regulation. E&O found that using a variety of techniques, such as placement of BMPs in driveways, underground, or in public right of way, will not adversely affect land available for development. The key is the use of a variety of techniques in a distributive approach that handles storm water closer to where it is produced. One unintended potential benefit of this approach, depending upon the soil infiltration levels, is that it could lead to savings in construction of storm sewers and detention ponds. For too long storm water has been thought of as a problem and the answer has been to move it away. The approaches identified by E&O help to mitigate the negative effects of development on the water resources by promoting the treatment and infiltration, evaporation, or use of storm water closer to where it is produced. This will provide benefits to ground water, stream flow, and overall water quality. Please see the Plans & Studies Adopted link at Planning Department section of the City web site for more information.
Political Signs
Election season is here! The Planning & Zoning Department wants to remind you that the Citys Sign Ordinance, Chapter 26, provides specific regulations for political signs. A copy of the Citys Sign Ordinance is available for viewing on the Citys website. Below is a summary of the political sign regulations: Public election or referenda signs may only be displayed during an election campaign period. Political signs may not exceed 11 square feet in residential zoning districts. A political sign may not have any electrical, mechanical or audio auxiliary. No political sign shall be placed so as to jeopardize traffic or pedestrian safety. No person shall paste or otherwise fasten any paper, poster or other materials, paint, stencil or write any number, sign, name or any disfiguring mark within any street right-of-way, on any sidewalk, curb, gutter, street, post, fire hydrant, pole or tree, any other sign, fence or other structure, nor shall any of said objects be defaced in any manner. No signs shall be placed in the Public Right-Of-Way (ROW). The most common complaint is the location of a sign in the Public ROW. Please make sure the sign is placed on private property and not in the ROW and that you have permission from the property owner to place the sign on the property. If you are not certain where the right-of-way is located, please contact the Fitchburg Public Works Department. Persons or committees authorizing the distribution or posting of campaign materials, as well as the owner of the premises on which the sign is displayed, are responsible for compliance. The City will attempt to contact candidates and/or property owners regarding any signs in violation and ask for the signs to be removed; however, signs in the Right-of-Way are subject to removal by the City at any time. Questions regarding the Citys Sign Ordinance can be directed to Community Planner Susan Sloper at 270-4256 or by e-mail at susan.sloper@city.fitchburg.wi.us. For information on electioneering and political signs near polling locations, please contact the City Clerks office at 270-4210. Thank you for complying with the Citys Sign Ordinance.
Agriculture and Rural Affairs Update

2012 was a productive year for the Citys Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee. The Committee, comprised of one City Alder and six other appointed individuals, oversees various agricultural issues in the City as well as other issues affecting the Citys rural areas and its residents. In November of 2012 the Committee approved a draft of the Rural Cluster Zoning Ordinance, an Ordinance offering potential residential development options to rural landowners that meet various Ordinance criteria. The Ordinance promotes responsible residential development in the Citys rural areas by allowing for smaller residential lots/homes clustered on the rural landscape, on those lands less suitable for agricultural use. The Ordinance ensures that rural residential development will be in harmony with existing rural land uses, occur in appropriate areas, and that the Citys most productive lands will remain in agricultural use. The Ordinance was subsequently approved by the Citys Plan Commission and adopted by the Common Council at their December 2012 meeting. Adoption of the Ordinance was the culmination of over 2 years of hard work by the Committee, other City Committees/ Commissions, City staff, and interested City residents. The Committee looks forward to a productive 2013 as well. One major task that the Committee will be working on is further development and implementation of the Citys Small-Scale Agriculture and Community Gardens Program, a program that will match rural landowners in the City with individuals looking for smaller plots of land on which to grow agricultural products. These individuals will rent land from City landowners, grow agricultural products, and then sell these products locally at various farmers markets and other retail outlets. The Committee is also exploring the idea of agricultural tourism in the City. Agricultural tourism is defined as a commercial enterprise at a working farm, ranch or agricultural plant conducted for the enjoyment or education of visitors that generates supplemental income for the owner. Agricultural tourism, or agritourism, can include farm stands or shops, u-pick operations, farm stays, tours, on-farm classes, fairs, festivals, pumpkin patches, Christmas tree farms, winery weddings, orchard dinners, youth camps, barn dances, hunting or fishing, guest ranches, and more. Thus far, the Committee has undertaken a preliminary inventory of potential agritourism resources in the City. Additionally, the Committee has been discussing ways to better promote an awareness and understanding of the importance of agriculture in the City to both the Citys urban residents and the larger region. Keep your eye out for an Agriculture and Rural Affairs exhibit/display booth at the Fitchburg Days festival this coming May. If you would like further information on the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, its recent accomplishments, or future tasks please contact Wade Thompson, the Citys Resource/Project Planner, at wade.thompson@city.fitchburg.wi.us or 270-4258.

North Stoner Prairie Neighborhood Plan Update
The City of Fitchburg, in partnership with Sub-Zero, Inc./Wolf Appliance, Inc. and Payne and Dolan, has recently begun the process of developing the North Stoner Prairie Neighborhood (NSPN) Plan to guide future land uses in the neighborhood. The NSPN consists of approximately 327 acres, north of Lacy Road and straddling both sides of Seminole Highway. The NSPN was identified as an area for future development in the Citys Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2009. SAA Design Group, a local community development planning firm, has been contracted as the lead consultant to develop the plan. The NSPN Plan Steering Committee, comprised of various stakeholders including neighborhood, school district, and business representatives and City elected/appointed officials, is overseeing the plan development process. Shawn Pfaff, City of Fitchburg Mayor, formally announced formation of the NSPN Steering Committee at the Citys Common Council meeting in November 2012. The NSPN planning process begun in late 2012 and is expected to continue through late 2013. Major planning milestones accomplished thus far include development of a draft Plan vision statement, initial field work to determine stormwater management capability of the planning area, and presentation of draft growth models identifying various potential future land use scenarios in the planning area. Three Steering Committee meetings and one public information meeting have been held thus far with many additional meetings yet to be scheduled. The meetings provide the general public with the opportunity to learn more about the NSPN planning process, as well as provide input on the process and plan development. All interested parties are encouraged to attend the meetings. The next Steering Committee meeting has been scheduled for 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 26, Fitchburg City Hall. Additional plan and planning process information and materials are available on the Citys website homepage (www.city.fitchburg.wi.us), under the heading City Highlights. For further information, please contact Wade Thompson, the Citys Resource/Project Planner, at wade.thompson@city.fitchburg,wi.us or 270.4258.

Volunteers of the Fitchburg Senior Center

Our Senior Center would not be able to offer everything that we offer to the senior community without our volunteers. In 2012, our volunteers gave just over 11,000 hours of their time. The Independent Sectors Value of Volunteer Time reports that in 2011 the national average dollar value of a volunteer hour was $21.79 per hour. {The numbers for 2012 are not out yet, as there is a lag of almost one year in the governments release of state level data.}
So
11,000 hours X $21.79 per hour= $239,690.00 (This does not include benefit packages.) The importance of volunteers for the Senior Center is undeniable. The new volunteer workforce is saving commerce and organizations like ours a substantial amount of money. Our volunteers are connected to the community they live in and are making a huge difference in the lives of our senior community.

Organics Pilot for Curbside Collection of Food Waste and Soiled Paper Expanded
*Please note that Non-compostable bags must not be tied to allow for emptying yard waste without ripping the bag open. Residents are encouraged to leave a container (with note: Please place bags in here after emptying.) for Pellitteri to place the bags in after they are emptied so the bags can be reused again and not sent to the landfill. All residents may also take yard waste to the Citys Recycling Drop Off Site, located at 2373 S. Fish Hatchery Road. The site is open every day during daylight hours. In addition, Fitchburg residents may drop off yardwaste at Purple Cow Organics (2159 Range Trail, Verona) at no charge. Call (608) 848-4400 for hours and yardwaste preparation requirements. Please contact Public Works at 270-4260 or by e-mail at publicworks@city.fitchburg.wi.us if you have any questions on yard waste collection procedures. Fitchburg is continuing to work on ways to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste. We began a curbside Organics Collection Pilot in April 2012 with ~300 homes in the Seminole Hill and Swan Creek of Nine Springs neighborhoods. In April 2013, we will be expanding the Pilot by adding ~90 households in the Highlands of Seminole Neighborhood. Collection of residential food waste and soiled paper products (together considered organics) is already common in parts of Canada and many European countries. In addition, several area communities have begun considering curbside organics collection programs. Fitchburgs Organics Collection Pilot is designed to reduce the amount of solid waste heading to the Dane County landfill. Food waste is the single largest component of solid waste in Fitchburg. The next biggest component is soiled paper. Together these organics represent 42% of Fitchburgs solid waste bound for the landfill, which equates to over 2.7 million pounds per year. says Rick Eilertson, Fitchburgs Environmental Engineer. Diverting organics will extend the life of the landfill and could save a significant amount of money by reducing long term disposal costs. In addition, by composting these organics, they can be turned into a usable, nutrient-rich product. Organics should not be confused with buying organically-raised/produced food. For purposes of this Pilot, the term organics includes just about any food waste: apple cores, orange peels, other fruit and vegetables, grains, coffee grounds and filters, fats, meats, and bones. Used napkins or paper towels, cheese covered pizza boxes, pet waste and compostable bags are also considered organics for this Pilot. Participation is voluntary. Refuse and recycling carts will continue to be collected on their normal schedule. However, due to the expected significant decrease in refuse, Pilot participants may find they need to set out their refuse carts much less frequently. Workshops were held in March of 21012 and 2013 to review the Pilot and answer questions. The presentations are available on Fitchburgs Organics website. The website will be updated as the Pilot progresses and interested parties can subscribe to periodic electronic mail updates by following directions from the Organics web page at: www.city.fitchburg.wi.us/Organics.
You Can Help Fitchburgs Creeks during Winter/Spring Runoff

Its very important to pick up after your pet all year long, but especially during winter and spring. If you dont pick up pet waste right away, it can soon be encased in snow and ice, ready to be carried away during spring thaw. The bacteria and nutrients found in pet waste are much more likely to make their way to the nearest storm drain. And contrary to common belief, rain and melting snow that goes into storm drains do not go to the wastewater treatment plant. Rather, this runoff goes to the nearest Fitchburg creek. Fitchburg is the headwaters of the following creeks which drain to downstream lakes and rivers: Nine Springs Creek, Swan Creek, Murphys Creek, Badfish Creek, Story Creek/Allen Creek, and Badger Mill Creek. So, be sure to continue to scoop the poop and either flush it down your toilet or bag it and place it in your refuse cart. Fitchburgs Creek Supporter Pledge Program (www.city.fitchburg.wi.us/stormwater) offers residents a reduction in their stormwater utility bill of $4 to $8 per year for pledging to do at least 30 actions (eg: like scooping the poop). Much better than the $114 citation that could get issued if a pets owner is found leaving it behind.

2013 Sidewalk and Curb and Gutter Replacement
Home Compost Bin and Rain Barrel Sale-May 4th

Home composting is a simple process for reducing waste going into your refuse cart that requires only a little time and effort on your part. Contrary to popular belief, properly maintained compost bins do not smell bad. Rather, they have a pleasant, earthy odor similar to freshly plowed soil. Most households that compost are able to significantly reduce the amount of waste they set out at the curb. For instance, in a survey of Fitchburg residents who use home compost bins, over 75% of survey respondents composted at least 3/4 of their kitchen wastes. Please click on the Home Composting link at the Organics website (www.city.fitchburg. wi.us/Organics) for more information and ideas on composting your food scraps in your own yard. Fitchburg will be hosting a Compost Bin & Rain Barrel Sale on Sat., May 4th from 9am-11am at the Fitchburg Recycling Drop Off Site (2373 S. Fish Hatchery Road). Earth Machine home compost bins ($45 - normally $100), Systern rain barrels ($55 - normally $110), Norseman compost turners ($15), Norseman Kitchen scrap pails ($7), and Dayton 50-gallon Yardwaste Polybags ($2 normally $6) will be available for sale. The supplies will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Advance registration is recommended by contacting rick.eilertson@city.fitchburg.wi.us or 270-4264 prior to April 10th. Up to 2 FREE Yardwaste Polybags will be available for residents participating in Fitchburgs curbside refuse and recycling program. Visit www.city.fitchburg.wi.us for more information as the event approaches. Staff will be on hand to describe proposed changes at Fitchburgs Recycling Drop Off Site and solicit feedback on any suggested improvements from attendees. If you miss the April 10th advance registration deadline, you can stop by to see if there are still any remaining supplies or head to the Dane County Compost Bin & Rain Barrel Sale at the Alliant Energy Centers Olin Avenue parking lot from 9am-1pm. For information on signing up for Fitchburgs Rain Barrel Rebate ($5/55 gallon volume), visit our web site.
Fitchburg has a program to assist property owners with repairing cracked, faulted, and damaged public sidewalk and curb and gutter. To qualify, the City must determine that the sidewalk is hazardous or the curb and gutter is in need of replacement. The City will pay one-half of the replacement cost and the property owner will be responsible for the other half. The work will be completed by the Citys contractor during the 2013 construction season. The cost was determined by a competitive bid process. The 2013 costs are as follows: Removal and replacement of a standard non-driveway 5x5 sidewalk square is $120.00 with the property owners share being $60.00; Removal and replacement of a standard driveway 5x5 sidewalk square is $136 with the property owners share being $68; Removal and replacement of curb and gutter is $30.00 per linear foot with the property owners share being $15.00 per linear foot. Property owners will be billed by the City for their share of the sidewalk and curb and gutter replacement costs. If the bill is not paid within 30 days of billing, it is placed on the 2013 tax bill as a special charge. 2013 Program request forms for replacing sidewalk and curb and gutter are available at City Hall, 5520 Lacy Road, or our at http://www.city.fitchburg.wi.us/departments/cityHall/publicWorks/PermitsApplications.php. Due to the limited amount of funds available for the program, all forms must be returned to City Hall by May 1st.
2013 Stormwater and Sidewalk Projects

Tower Hill Greenway This project includes regrading the greenway within the Tower Hill neighborhood from S. Fish Hatchery Road to McKee Farms Park South Pond. A low flow storm pipe is being installed parallel to the greenway to keep the bottom of the greenway channel drier and less susceptible to erosion. A short segment of storm sewer is also being designed from the greenway to the intersection of Lyman Lane and Jacqueline Drive to improve drainage and reduce ice build-up in the intersection during winter conditions. Red Arrow Pond & Crescent Road Sidewalk This project includes the rerouting of existing storm sewer from the intersection of Red Arrow Trail and Crescent Road, easterly ~150 to the east side of the Megans Bay Condominiums and installation of a small stormwater pond. This project will help alleviate current flooding concerns as well as control water quantity and improve water quality prior to discharging stormwater into Dunns Marsh. Honeysuckle, buckthorn, and box elder were removed from the project area in 2012. DNR has awarded up to $60,000 in grant funding for this project. Sidewalk is also planned to connect from the sidewalk at Apache Pond westerly to the Megans Bay Condominiums. McKee Road Stormwater & Sidewalk This project includes storm pipe installation and sidewalk construction on the north side of McKee Road from Chapel Valley Road easterly to Yarmouth Greenway Drive. Anyone with questions or comments on any of these projects may contact Felipe Avila at felipe. avila@city.fitchburg.wi.us or 270-4277.
Brush Collection Begins April 1st

Residents of single family homes and apartments with up to four-units who receive City refuse & recycling collection from Pellitteri Waste Systems and apartment complexes who pay for City brush collection service will receive fourteen curbside brush collections between April and November. Brush should be placed on your driveway or terrace but should not be placed in the street. You should not place brush at the curb until the weekend before the Monday of the collection week. Leaving brush at the curb for extended periods, or placing brush at the curb long before the collection can result in a $177 fine. Please have brush at the curb by 6:30 a.m. Monday on the week of collection, regardless of which day your refuse and recyclables are collected. Pellitteri collects brush with a packer type truck. Twigs less than 1/4-inch diameter are considered yard waste and should be disposed of accordingly.
Brush Collection Requirements

The maximum length for brush is 5 feet long. Longer branches will not be collected! The maximum branch size is 6 inches in diameter. Larger branches are considered firewood and will not be collected. Lay brush perpendicular to the street with the cut end toward the street. Pile brush neatly. Do not bring brush to the Recycling Drop Off Site. Violators will receive citations. Fitchburg residents may drop off brush at Purple Cow Organics (2159 Range Trail, Verona) at a reduced rate of $22/ton. Call 848-4400 for hours and brush preparation requirements.

Urban Tree Advocate Honored for Volunteer Efforts Huegel-Jamestown Park Master Plan
Fitchburgs Forestry Division is honored to announce that Phillip Bower was selected as one of ten national finalists for the Alliance for Community Trees (ACTrees) 2012 Volunteer of the Year Award. The award highlights inspirational volunteers in action who have made a contribution to urban forestry by improving community trees and the neighborhoods where they live. Phillip Bower, a local environmental attorney and an organizer of the American Bar Associations One Million Trees Project, spearheaded an initiative in Fitchburg last fall the Dane County Legal Community Tree Planting. As a result, a group of local attorneys volunteered their time to plant 17 trees in Swan Creek Park. Bower raised more than $1,700 in donations from the legal community to purchase the new trees. He hopes that this initiative can be replicated in other Wisconsin communities. Phillip Bower models the ideals of stewardship, giving, professionalism, and leadership, says Carrie Gallagher, ACTrees Executive Director. All along the way, as Phil was looking at how best to engage attorneys and get them involved in planting and caring for the urban forest, he was also spreading the important message of community tree value and benefits, states Laura Wyatt, DNR Urban Forestry Partnership Specialist. Fitchburg and the City of Madison will be working on possible additions to their co-owned Huegel-Jamestown Park. The park currently contains a large shelter, drinking fountain, play equipment, two tennis courts, full basketball court, softball diamond, soccer field, volleyball area, sledding hill, paved path, and landscaping. Neighbors and other stakeholders will have the opportunity to provide input regarding potential additions to this park. Look for additional information in the near future. Please feel free to contact Scott Endl at scott.endl@city.fitchburg.wi.us or 270-4288 with any questions or need of additional information.
Early Trout Season Open

For those who have spring fever or looking to try a new hobby, the early catch-and-release trout season in Wisconsin is open! It runs March 2 to midnight on April 27. According to the DNR, the best early-season fishing generally occurs in mid to late April. Some of the biggest trout of the season are caught in mid-April as the fish become more active and aggressive. You dont need to be a fly fisherman to catch trout either. Spinner fishing works just as well, especially for reaching deep pools in small, choked streams. Only artificial lures may be used during the early trout season. While Fitchburg doesnt have any of its own trout streams, they are not too far away. There are a number of quality trout streams just south and west of the city (see map); the Sugar River and Mt. Vernon Creek are a couple examples. Learn more about trout fishing at http://dnr.wi.gov.
EAB/Save-an-Ash Public Informational Meetings

The Forestry Division will be hosting an emerald ash borer workshop for residents and other property owners. The purpose is to give people a better understanding of the future implications of the tree-killing beetle on the Fitchburg urban forest and what they can do about it. The workshop will provide general information on EAB and cover topics like detection, the citys response plan, prevention/treatment options (e.g. proposed Save-an-Ash program for city trees), tree removal and wood utilization, and citizen participation in a private tree inventory using the online Madison Tree Map (http://madisontreemap.org).
Choose a session to attend (both will cover same info):

Thursday, April 18th 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20th 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Both workshops will be held in the Fitchburg Room in the Community Center.

Celebrate Arbor Day & International Migratory Bird Day

Come take part in a joint celebration of Arbor Day and International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) at McKee Farms Park on May 4th. Since 1993, IMBD has become a primary vehicle for focusing public attention on the nearly 350 species that travel between nesting habitats in our community and throughout North America and their wintering grounds in South and Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the southern U.S. Arbor Day (officially April 26th ) is a national holiday when people plant and care for trees and celebrate their benefits. As you know, trees provide habitat and food for birds, so lets celebrate both trees and birds in our community!
