Citizens of Schofield: Another summer and fall gone too fast. Soon we will be welcoming in 2018. As time marches on, so does our work on improving our great City of Schofield. We have been working for the last six months on cre-ating TID#4 (Tax Increment District.) The annexation of 32 acres from the Town of Weston was key to allow-ing growth of new companies and expansion of some of our biggest industry that call Schofield home. It is imperative that we keep all of our industry and attract more industry to use the under-utilized parts of our City. To that end, the TID is our best option. We will be able to use the additional tax increment generated over the next five years to improve roads, utilities and other infrastructure within the TID boundaries. This frees up money that was to be used for this purpose to be used elsewhere in the City. I would like to thank all of you who have helped increase our recycled gar-bage pickup. The amount of recyclables has increased tremendously as we are doing our small part to help our planet. Look for the 2018 calendar for recycle dates for your part of Schofield in the Spotlight. We have added a new swing this summer at Radtke Park. This swing enables the parent and small child to swing together and enjoy a beautiful day in the park. If you get a chance, please be sure to check out this new swing next summer along with all the other improvements made to Radtke Park. Look for the addition of little libraries in some of our parks next year. We are working with the Girl Scouts on this project. I would also like to again thank the Girl Scouts for the beautiful food pantry which was erected in the front of City Hall. If ever you find yourself a little short of food for the week, feel free to help yourself to what you need. We will be working with local food banks if our supply runs low and also ask for your donations if you are able. Have a great Christmas!Sincerely,Kregg Hoehn, Mayor City of Schofield

Greetings from Your New Fire Chief I t is an honor and pleasure to serve you! I am excited to be here to find out how I can help you with fire and life safety in your community! I started in mid-May as the full-time chief of the new Riverside Fire District (RSFD). I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the warm welcome I’ve received! I am getting settled into the fire district operations and into the community, and I look forward to meeting more of our community members. The City of Schofield is now served by the Riverside Fire District, which began operations in January and is made up of the former Rothschild and Schofield Fire Departments. We operate from two stations, Station 1 in Schofield, where my office is located, and Station 2 in Rothschild. You are currently served by approximately 30 professional EMTs and firefighters who work in a part-time / paid-on-call volunteer status. We are always looking

for additional personnel! We have been busy in the community at summer and fall events like the June Bug 5K, the Wausau Homes

Celebration of Freedom Event, the Rothschild Centennial Celebration, the Run for the Fallen, and others. We held our 1st Open House as a new fire district on October 8th! We had our Fire and EMS apparatus on display for touring and photos. Fire prevention information, food, and raffle prizes were provided. Kids enjoyed some fire extinguisher demonstrations, Sparky, and an obstacle course.

October was Fire Prevention month. The Riverside Fire District visited all the public and parochial elementary schools in the district and provided opportunities to learn fire and life safety tips, meet firefighters, and see some of our equipment. This year’s national Fire Prevention theme was “Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!” Fire is getting faster due to the compo-sition of today’s furniture, possessions, and construction materials. For your increased safety, RSFD recommends that you: • Testyoursmokealarmsmonthly. • Createanescapeplan–allmembersofyourhouseholdshouldknowtwowaysoutandhaveameetingplaceoutside! • Closeyourbedroomdooratnight–acloseddoorsignificantlyslowsthespreadofsmokeandfire.In your service,Kelly Hanink, Chief

In June, RSFD was very pleased to be able to donate used firefighting gear to a local organization, the Wisconsin/ Nicaragua Partnership of the America, LLC, who will distribute that gear to Nic-araguan fire departments who need it.

RSFD is very honored to have received a $2000 safety grant from the Wisconsin Public Service Foundation to apply towards our recent purchase of a new thermal imaging camera. This valuable tool is used in a variety of fire suppression and search and rescue operations in our fire and emergency medical services mission. We are fortunate with this addition to our district to have common equipment using the latest technology across our fire service fleet.

Congratulations to Assistant Chief Mary LaPorte who was named one of the 2017 Wisconsin Stars of Life by the Professional Ambu-lance Association of Wisconsin (PAAW) for her unyielding dedica-tion to EMS services in our community. She was recognized at PAAW’s annual conference in Green Bay on September 21st and may visit the State Capitol in November to meet the Governor and visit with our local legislators.

Construction/Remodeling Projects The City of Schofield has contracted with the City of Wausau for issuance of permits for construction and remodeling projects, and for conducting inspections on such projects. If you are planning any construction or remodeling projects within the City of Schofield, we would like to remind you that the following types of projects require permits:

→ New construction or an addition to a building→ Alterations/remodeling (kitchen cabinets, drywalling, etc.)→ Construction of a detached garage, lean-to, storage building, gazebo, etc., or any additions or alterations thereto→ Construction or reconstruction of a deck, stoop, porch, or ramp.→ Installation of new windows, if changing the opening size→ Demolition of a building→ A permit is not required for replacement of shingles (one overlay only); however, if a structural repair is needed, a building permit is required.→ Separate permits are required for any plumbing or electrical work.

Permits are required not only to ensure your project meets all zoning regulations and complies with City and State codes, but also lets us assist you in achieving a project that is safe and structurally sound. If you are planning an addition or new construction, first contact the City of Schofield and provide them with a site plan of the proposed project. The site plan should include the location of the proposed addition or new construction, the lot size, size of construction, and distances of the proposed addition or new construction to all property lines. Schofield will review the project for compliance with their zoning regulations. Once Schofield completes their zoning approval, the next step would be to submit the project to the City of Wausau Inspections Department; they will review the project to make sure it meets all building codes and issue the permits. If your project does not involve an addition or new construction, contact the City of Wausau Inspections Department for the required permits. Wausau will review the project and issue the permits. Wausau Inspectors are typically in the office between 8:00–9:00 AM and 12:30-1:30 PM to issue permits and answer any questions you may have regarding your proposed project. The remainder of the work day, they conduct on-site inspections. However, if these times are not convenient for you, contact the Inspections Department at 715.261.6780 and they are generally able to make other arrange-ments for you to meet with their staff.

RedFlags–SignsoftheUnprofessionalRemodeler: The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) says it’s important to know the warning signs for unscrupulous home remodelers and offers the following red flags to keep in mind when searching for a contractor:→ Doesn’t have license and insurance. All professional home remodelers should be insured and able to show their certificate proving such insurance. The State of Wisconsin requires that contractors have a Dwelling Contractor credential (to verify proof of responsibility and minimum insurance limits) and that one of their employees holds a Dwelling Contractor Qualifier credential (minimum continuing education requirements to maintain some level of contractor competency).→ Doesn’t write contracts. Professional home remodelers have clear contracts that outline the job, process, the cost, and helps clarify how problems will be managed. If you don’t have a contract, neither the remodeler nor the homeowner are protected when something goes wrong.→ Requires cash or payment in full before starting the job. Shady home remodelers demand cash and then run with the money. Many homeowners have been stranded by paying in full up front.→ Vastly underbids all other contractors. They may have the best price, but that doesn’t guarantee the best work. Such contractors may cut costs on quality for your home remodel, which can end up costing more when the homeowner has to redo the work.→ Cannot provide customer references. Professional home remodelers should have current references they can provide from cur-rent and past clients.→ Poor credit. A bad credit report suggests bad business practices that could harm your remodeling project.→ Difficulty contacting the home remodeler. Professionals have a physical office, mailing address, phone and email. They should respond to your queries in a timely manner.
