Finishing the job

Rieder runs out the clock on work that never ends
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
he last time Ron Rieder drove

a snowplow, it didnt go quite
how hed expected.
It was during the worst snowstorm
of what was then a record-setting
2007-08 winter, one that later brought
more than $1.4 million of disaster
assistance to the Dane County area.
Veronas plow drivers had been
working 20 hours straight, and the
public works director knew they
needed a break. So he decided hed
serve himself a bit of nostalgia and
hop in the truck like he used to in the
1980s, when he first worked here.
He told the other drivers to go
get some sleep and hed take a pass
through the major routes Verona
Avenue and Main Street. But there
was one problem.
I couldnt figure out how to start
the truck, he said.
So Rieder sheepishly went back to
Dave Hoskings, one of the drivers,
and got instructions, then finished the
job hed started.
This week, as Rieder finishes a
33-year career with the city, his job
has moved far beyond the truck-driving and street- and sewer-cleaning it
was when he came back to his hometown. The public works department
has a hand in almost every major
municipal construction project in
recent years, and it has become the
standard-bearer for the citys emphasis on a high service level.
Those who have worked with Rieder over the years say thats a result of
not just his construction background,
but his devotion to the job, his
employees and the city, as well as his
gregarious nature.
As Rieder prepares to retire at the
end of this week, the department will
be completing a yearlong transition to
delegate his many duties and roles, so
one person wont be loaded down the
way he has for so many years.

week, the Plan Commission will be looking at two

other is a 6,000-squarefoot sports bar with a huge

angry, come back and the conflict is never resolved, Zunker said. It makes it less
severe, and it can prevent further conflict

It felt like it was healthy and not
destructive, Zunker said. People grew.
While students involved in any altercation can still be subject to more traditional punishment like suspensions, Zunker
and the other 25 circle keepers among the
student body hope their work can have
a broader effect on the community at the
school.

Circles: Conflict resolution technique helps kids gain perspective from each other
Continued from page 1
began this year after training from a Madison high
school that had already
used them, VAHS social
worker Cory Zimmerman
said.
T h e y r e t h e s t r o n gest example of the new
approach to preventing
major conflicts at VAHS,
which is part of the push
for initiatives like Positive
Behavioral Interventions
and Supports and the Nurtured Heart Approach district-wide.
The initiatives began to
spread throughout the district more consistently this
school year after complaints
from parents and two VAHS
students at the end of the
previous school year about
out-of-control behavior.
Much of the focus of the
initiatives at the middle and
elementary school levels
is on intentionally being
positive toward students
and recognizing the good
actions.
While that recognition
can continue at the high
school level, the focus of
the circles is more about
resolving conflicts and
ensuring the students
involved can move forward
without continued issues.
The benefits of the
approach go beyond the
schools walls, though,
Zimmerman said, and well
into students futures, as
they learn to understand
how their actions can affect
someone else, even when
they often dont realize it.
Its teaching kids life
lessons, he said. Theres
results every day in their
lives.
Forming a circle
The circle room has a circular rug in its center, with
chairs lining the edges.
When a restorative circle is going on, the carpet
is covered with smaller
circles, each with a word
like honesty or trust to
outline the guidelines for
participants, each of whom
have to agree to be there.
If theyre not interested, its really hard to have
a meaningful conversation,

would pick up a talking
piece to pass around to
clarify who can speak at
any given time.
The meetings end with
an agreement, which all
parties involved in an incident sign, to outline a plan
going forward. Those could
involve regular check-ins
with a teacher or administrator or agreeing not to
partake in certain activities.

Dont do this, Zunker
said. Theyre making their
own commitments.
Kids held
accountable
Zimmerman emphasized
that more traditional forms
of punishment for bad
behavior are still in play.
They know their expectations, he said. Kids are
getting held accountable for
their behavior.
Plus, the circles are
not something everyone
embraces.
If students choose not to
be part of a circle, they dont
just escape any follow-up
after an incident, Zimmerman said, and those students
would instead meet with
administrators, who would
create a behavior plan for
them going forward.
Students who are suspended must take part in a
re-entry circle when they
Verona Area High School is considering taking

another idea in dealing with student behavior from
Madison La Follette High School.
VAHS social worker Cory Zimmerman said the
school is considering a peer court for next school
year.
The court would have a jury of students decide on
a punishment for a peer who requests the court. It
would substitute for a citation if it gets the OK from
the police department.
The jury would come up with a consequence that
would help them get better and learn from that other
than paying the ticket, he said.
The holdup, though, is cost, as Zimmerman said
the organization that would help facilitate the court is
expensive.

circle, they wouldve just kept their side

said. At that point were
doing the re-entry circle to

they have supporting them,
the more opportunity it is

said, but they cannot prevent

everything. Finding students
who are willing to talk
about it can help prevent
incidents from growing into
even bigger problems, and
a circle could, for example,
shorten a suspension by a
day, Zimmerman said.
Students helping
students
Both Zunker and Jamaria
Beckam, another circle
keeper, said they have benefited from the experiences
as much as the students who
triggered the circle.
You actually learn from
them as they learn from
you, Beckam said, mentioning responsibility and
reading people as skills she
has developed.
Zimmerman approached
both of the students before
the training, which had been
led by Madison La Follette
High School students last
summer, because he thought
theyd appreciate being part
of the circles. Both jumped
at the opportunity.
I just enjoy mentoring
and kind of taking a leadership role, Zunker said.
You get to smooth out conflicts within the community
that you work and kind of
live in for eight hours a day
at school.
Beckam agreed, and said
she enjoyed building a
community to make sure
you have people you can
trust outside your normal
group for those involved in
her circles.
I like the follow-up part
of it, Beckam said. I know

in the process.
Gaining perspective
One of the biggest benefits Zimmerman and the students said they see from the
circles is learning empathy.
(A circle) gives them
perspective on each others
sides, Zunker explained.
If they had never been
brought into the circle, they
wouldve just kept their side
and never opened up to the
other person.
That can be important in
a school of 1,600, and reinforces an important dynamic, he said.
Were a school community, were in this together, Zimmerman said. If
someones struggling in our
school I feel it too because it
has a tension in our school.
That feeling has certainly
resonated with the Zunker
and Beckam.
Now (the students from
my circles) come to me with
different problems they have
to make sure nothing happens, Beckam said.
While the concept is still
spreading and Zimmerman
said that he hopes they will
increase in use from the 25
to 30 done this year as students grow more comfortable with the concept each
of the three said its already
had a noticeable effect
through the simple effect of
students feeling like someone is listening.
At the end of this process, kids are willing to
take responsibility for their
actions and think about how
they can do themselves better moving forward, Zimmerman said.

3 more interview for

administrator position
Good timing leads

to $131k savings
Verona Press editor
Verona hasnt gotten the

bond upgrade it was hoping for yet, but the city
will save $131,000 from
good bond rates this year.
A meeting with
Moodys Investors Service
earlier this month revealed
that the city will retain its
long-held aa2 bond rating,
based on good fiscal management and growth but a
lack of economic diversity
(because of the dominance
of Epic, which is nearly
half the citys assessed
value).
On Monday, Todd Taves
of Ehlers, the citys financial adviser, reported the
results of the annual bond
sale and a refinancing,

totaling nearly $10 million, and the fortunate savings from what had been
projected. He said good
timing was responsible.
You hit the market
at the lowest point its
been since theyve started
indexing, Taves said.
The bonds are for a
variety of debt spending,
including $1.6 million for
a new dump site and about
$6 million in various road
construction and maintenance projects. The unanimous vote to authorize the
bonds to be sold followed
the citys annual audit of
its financial statements.

One returns from initial

group
Verona Press editor
By waiting another month, the City

of Verona got three more candidates
for its vacant administrator position.
The Common Council interviewed
the three candidates and one other from the first group Saturday and
then spent an hour discussing them
with recruiter Steve Hintz in closed
session Monday. No action was taken in or out of closed session, Mayor
Jon Hochkammer told the Press on
Tuesday morning.
Two of the three new candidates
are from out of state, and the other
had applied previously and withdrew
midway through the process. All are
currently employed elsewhere.
Hochkammer told the Press last
week that three of the original four
finalists who interviewed May 20-21
have been informed they are no longer being considered for the job,
which has been vacant since April,
when Bill Burns left. Only David
Nord, former administrator for the
City of Dixon, Ill., remains from that
group.
Nord joined the others in what
Hochkammer called an abbreviated interview Saturday basically
to meet the two alders who were not
present for the initial set of interviews, Hochkammer said. The three
new candidates met with city department heads Friday and interviewed
Saturday morning with the Common
Council, following the citys usual
pattern.
The new candidates are Robert
West End signals

The city agreed Monday to a contract with
AECOM for up to $18,000 to design traffic signals
at Westridge Parkway and West Verona Avenue.
The intersection leads to West End Circle on the
south end, and more development there is expected
over the next couple of years to add to the existing
apartments. Also, the Verona Area School District,
which purchased 100 acres in that area last year,
is planning a referendum that could include a new
high school campus there.
West End pond

An inadvertent inclusion of part of a stormwater management facility in the land Vanta sold to
the school district last year has led to a three-way
agreement with the city that involves a refund of
$12,570.
The contract has Vanta turning the parcel over to
the city and paying the district for its value.
Cahoots contingency
Downtown bar Cahoots was granted its liquor
license renewal contingent on fixing building
inspection violations.
The violations include such items as grills being
located on a deck and a heat detector having been
painted over.
Alders noted that the inspection wasnt complete
until June 10 and asked staff to work on a policy
requiring such inspections be done at least 30 days
before the liquor license renewals are voted on, as
thats the standard window for fixing such items.
Duffy, economic development director for the City of Oconomowoc; Robert Joseph, assistant city manager and
director of the newly created office
of business and tourism in Montrose,
Colo.; and Jeffrey Mikorski, city manager at Morgantown, W. Va.
The new group is more eclectic
than the previous list.
Josephs LinkedIn profile states he
was born in London, ran a computer
consulting business, was involved in
real estate and taught college. He has
been with Montrose since 2012.
Duffys states that he has been a
planner with the Menomonee Nation,
has a real-estate license and was a
village administrator for Hortonville.
He worked with Verona planning
director Adam Sayre for six years in
Oconomowoc.
Mikorski has a psychology degree
from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and hes been with
Morgantown as city manager or
assistant city manager since 2000.

Nord, who interviewed in May
but did not meet Touchett or new
Ald. Scott Stewart (D-2), left Cherry
Valley, Ill., after 15 years as village
administrator to become Dixons first
city administrator in the wake of an
embezzlement scandal. After Dixon
changed its entire government structure last year, Nord was not chosen
for its new city manager position.
Hochkammer said last week he
hoped the council would come to a
consensus Saturday after the interviews. But three alders were not present Saturday, complicating matters.
Council President Elizabeth Doyle
is on a leave of absence for an internship, and Alds. Evan Touchett (Dist.
4) and Jack Linder (Dist. 2) were
also absent, meaning there was no
quorum. Linder arrived late Monday night but in time to join the full
group, minus Doyle, for the administrator discussion.
Whenever a decision is reached, an
announcement likely would be made
after an agreement on a contract,
which is often after the following
meeting.
However, with no decision yet,
Hochkammer said the continuing
item will be on the next Common
Council meeting agenda. Unless
a special meeting is called, that is
scheduled for July 11.
In the interim, Hochkammer is
taking on extra duties normally performed by the administrator. While
he has said he hopes not to have to
do that for nine months, as he did in
2009-10, he previously told the Press
its worth the wait to make sure the
city has the right person.

Streetscape: Main Street could be closed for a month

Seatbelt tickets soar during

special enforcement
passengers to voluntarily
buckle up every trip, every
time.
Veronas increased traffic stops also produced 66
other citations on other
violations, including 23 for
speeding and five drunken
driving arrests.
Tom Alesia
built in 1989, is the centerpiece of all the streetscape efforts, and the hope
was to pair the sidewalk
work with a basic mill and
overlay procedure, as the
city does with most of its
streets basically shaving
off the pavement and putting a new surface in.
But within the last two
weeks, city workers discovered that the pavement
was far thinner than theyd
expected only three inches at some points meaning any new pavement
would be little more than a
costly Band-Aid, as public works director Ron Rieder told the citys Public
Works committee.
Its typical of how this
streetscape project has
went, Rieder said in his
last meeting before retiring.

Alders agreed it would
be silly to put in $1 million
worth of new sidewalks,
only to have to rip them
out in three or four years.
But that meant the most
heavily traveled road in the
city will need a complete
rebuild and probably a
30-day closing or more.
That revelation prompted Public Works chair Ald.
Evan Touchett (Dist. 2)
to jokingly throw a pen at
Rieder and ask how that
could be.
You dont pave a roadway like that today. It was
the way technology was
like at the time, was about
all Rieder could say. We
had like 10 engineers out
there (including retired city
engineer Bob Gundlach)

Alders have been promising constituents for three
years now they would not
let the downtown plan sit
idle as previous plans have,
that theyd start turning it
into reality. And theyve
tried.
They purchased three
downtown homes in 2014
and 2015 and have torn
down two for a parking lot
and resold the other for a
restoration project. They
set up a list of priorities for
economic development in
August 2014, topped with
the streetscape plan but
also including the expansion of loan programs and
additional consulting services.
There will be some progress on the plan this year.

The Hometown Junction
memorial has been torn out
and will be replaced later
this summer with a more
ornate version that includes
a fountain. And the parking
lot behind the Sows Ear is
almost finished.
The city is also proceeding with separate street
rebuild projects on Church
Street, Park Lane and Railroad Street. As a result,
the new colored sidewalks
will go in on the south side
of Railroad Street by the
memorial and along Park
Lane leading to the new
lot.

Financially Speaking
While a surprise, Brexit

vote not cause for panic
he world woke up to
a surprise last Friday
morning, learning that the
British public had voted to leave
the European Union (EU).
The Brexit, as it has been
dubbed, had appeared unlikely
as poll results over the last few
days leading up to the vote had
indicated a growing strength in
the remain vote.
Clearly the polls were wrong.
Global
financial markets instantly
reacted to the
news, with
European
equity markets
dropping several percent
and the rest
Arndt
of the world
following suit.
At one point in the overnight
markets, the futures for our own
Dow Jones Industrial Average
were pointing to a decline of
almost 800 points, or about 4.5
percent, the day after the vote.
What does this mean for long
term investors? Should we panic? Pull the plug and go to cash?
In a word, no.
While the Brexit certainly
will have an impact on global
trade, and therefore economic
growth (or lack thereof), the
process of Britain leaving the
EU will actually take a couple
of years, as it will involve renegotiating multiple individual
trade deals and other covenants.
We dont know yet how significant the impact will be, but we
do know that life will continue
throughout the process. People
dont stop driving cars, eating
cereal or going to work because
of political events like this.
The financial markets are
reacting so strongly because of

the uncertainty the Brexit creates, and concerns that other EU
countries will want to follow
suit and leave. While a possibility, it would be more difficult
for other countries to do so, as
Britain was a very unique member to begin with. Unlike almost
all of the EU members, Britain
never participated in the common currency (the Euro) and
has maintained its own central
bank and monetary policy.
Lets put the market movements in perspective. Yes,
stocks sold off sharply, but they
had also risen dramatically
over the prior couple of weeks
under the expectation that the
remain side would win.
For example, the DAX Index,
which tracks 30 of Germanys
largest stocks, fell almost 7 percent, or 700 points, to around
9,550 the day after the vote. The
chart looked terrible unless
you expanded it out to a couple of weeks, instead of just
one day. On June 14, the DAX
closed at 9519.
Yes, you read that right. The
DAX closed higher the day after
the Brexit vote than it did just
10 days earlier.
While U.S. stocks have not
had the same run up as European stocks in recent weeks,
similar things can be said about
the U.S. indexes if you expand
the time horizon a little farther.
The S&P 500 Index traded
down about 75 points, or just
over 3.5 percent, the day after
the Brexit vote. That brought
it back to where it closed one
month earlier, yet it was still
over 200 points and 10 percent
higher than it was in February
of this year.
For fixed income investors,
the market reaction to the Brexit

vote had quite a different feel,
as money that fled out of stocks
largely flocked into bonds,
pushing their values up.
For investors with diversified portfolios, the gains on
the bond side helped to buffer
the declines on the equity side
one of the core reasons that
I recommend increasing allocations to fixed income as retirement draws near.
The bottom line is that market
volatility is a part of investing.
Sometimes the movements are
more pronounced, and sometimes the headlines are more
worrisome, but eventually every
headline drops to the back pages.
Just as we shouldnt chase
stocks to the upside, we
shouldnt panic and sell when
the seas get rough. Instead, we
should stick to our investing
discipline, stay patient and
focus on the important things in
life, like friends and family.
All indices are unmanaged and
investors cannot invest directly into
an index. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain
risks and uncertainties which are
difficult to predict. Past performance is not indicative of future
results. Diversification does not
ensure against market risk.

Cleaning up Dane
Countys water
County seeking
community grant
projects
L o o k i n g t o i m p r ove
w a t e r q u a l i t y, D a n e
County is again accepting applications for its
Urban Water Quality
Grant Program to assist
with projects aimed at
cleaning up urban runoff
pollution.
Dane County Executive Joe Parisi announced
Monday that $1.4 million
in county grants are available this year to help local
communities construct
stormwater management
facilities.
These basins capture
trash and phosphorus-laden debris such as yard
or pet waste from urban
areas that would otherwise wash directly into
area lakes and streams
during heavy rains or
snow melt. According to
a county press release,
phosphorus is the main
cause of algae growth
in area lakes, and every
pound of phosphorus
removed prevents 500
p o u n d s o f a l ga e f r o m
growing.
Our lakes, rivers, and
streams are incredibly
valuable resources and an
integral part of our economy and quality of life,
Parisi said. By working
together with local communities we are able get
more done and stop more

pollutants from getting

into our waters.
Since starting the grant
program in 2005, Dane
County has helped fund
53 projects totaling over
$10 million. According to the press release,
these partnerships have
stopped the flow of over
a half-million pounds of
garbage and pollutants,
including over 2,000
pounds of phosphorus.
For the fifth consecutive year, municipalities
that propose projects in
one of the countys top 10
target areas that discharge
large amounts of phosphorus and sediment into
the lakes will be eligible
to receive a 75 percent
county cost share grant.
Other municipalities with
eligible projects outside
the targeted areas could
receive 50 percent cost
share.
In order to be considered for funding, projects
must be complete by the
end of 2017. The deadline
for initial applications is
July 31.

Just over 100 American

flags were displayed outside
of area homes on Memorial
Day for the Flags4Food campaign through Badger Prairie
Needs Network, and organizers hope that number doubles
for the Fourth of July holiday.
Flags4Food is a patriotic service project that urges
Verona and near west side
Madison residents to fly the
flag, feed a family by purchasing a year-long flag rental subscription for $50. The
project is meant to support
veterans while also fighting
poverty and hunger in Verona, Fitchburg and Madison.
All subscription proceeds
go to BPNN and allow for the
continuation of its goal to end
the cycle of multigenerational
poverty within the community.
In exchange for the tax-deductible subscription, a team
of BPNN and community volunteers will install a
full size 3-by-5-foot flag
and 8-foot pole set in the

Take It!
If you want to be truly free, you must take your freedom
and run with it. Prior to and during the U.S. Civil War,
slaves who wanted their freedom had to make a decision
about whether to risk life and limb by running away. Given
the risks, this must have been a heart-wrenching decision.
But we can learn something from this example. We can be
enslaved by many things, by addictions, by our own habits
of thought and action, and by fear or timidity. If we are going
to live our own lives by our own lights then at some point we
have to take our freedom into our own hands and put ourselves at the helm of our own ship. This can be a hard thing
to do. It is usually easier to let others run our lives. Children
get used to their parents making most of their decisions for
them, and some never grow out of this habit. The human
will is a muscle that must be developed. If you would be
free, you must believe in yourself and believe that you have
the capacity to direct your own life. Then develop a plan to
become the person you long to be. And finally, put the plan
into action. As a good friend of mine likes to say, Plan the
work and work the plan. Remember also to make adjustments to the plan if it isnt going perfectly. Some adjustments or corrections are needed in even the best plans.
Christopher Simon, Metro News Service
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm,
then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery. Galatians 5:1 NIV

Plan: Proposed eateries would add nearly 300 seats to Verona restaurant space
diner, Liberty Park developer Dean Slaby said it will be
a local owner starting a second restaurant. Unlike the
diner, however, it will have
a new name, which also has
yet to be disclosed.
Gus Diner is proposed
for Keenan Court, just off
East Verona Avenue, and it
would feature retro styling,
with aluminum trim in its
facade, as well as a retro
design inside. Its submission to the city calls it a
family restaurant with a
1950s diner theme.
The existing Gus Diner
opened in Sun Prairie 2008,
and photos show a substantially similar layout to the
one proposed in Verona,
which features a salad bar,
eight bar stools in front of
the kitchen and 94 seats.
It would share parking
with Pizza Ranch, giving it
access to dozens of stalls
despite having only 14 on
its own lot.
The Liberty Park bar and
grill would serve bar food
and higher-end food, Slaby said, and would include
a tailgate area outdoors
for celebrating during big
games, with a barbecue
pit. It also would feature a
patio on three sides of the
building behind a large,
stone-accented fence.
Inside, the restaurant
features a circular bar, a
private dining area and a
separate game room with

In addition to a 35-unit
apartment building and a

The commercial space

Public hearing signs posted in

areas of general interest
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Earlier this year, the

Common Council changed
city policy for public hearing notices, requiring signs
be posted at each location
in which a public hearing
on a development project is
likely to be of general interest.
The first of those signs
were posted last week, at
the proposed site of Rainbow Day Care, on Homet ow n C i r c l e , a n d P u r e
Sweet Honey, in the old

industrial park.
The signs were actually available just prior to
the June Plan Commission
meeting, but with nine public hearings and limited
time, city staff decided to
debut the signs for the July
hearings.
Unlike the much smaller
notice signs in Madison, for
example, these signs have
been designed to be visible
and readable to people driving by. They do not have
specific information about
the project, but rather refer

interested citizens to the
planning directors office
and the citys website.
The citys website now
posts detailed packets of
information about most
items likely to get such
questions. For the past few
months, those packets have
been available under the
Development projects
link on the main page,
ci.verona.wi.us.

Rieder: Credited with transforming semi-retired crew into modern public works department
meetings and stop whatever
hes doing to talk to a city
resident, an old acquaintance or a reporter asking
something of him.
That helpfulness extends
beyond whats explicitly
requested, said Mayor Jon
Hochkammer, who has
known Rieder since the
1990s.
Ron probably wouldnt
say this about himself, but
he is really a solutions person, Hochkammer said.
He does things that need
to be done. He doesnt wait
for people to ask him to do
things. He makes things
happen.
Into the future

Rieder was a lucky find
for the city. But it was his
misfortune that brought him
here.
After his first wife, Pam,
got her pharmacy degree,
the couple moved to Manitowoc for her job. Meanwhile, he got steady work in
construction.
But then came a late-night
phone call in the middle of
winter that shook his world.
His father had died of a
heart attack.
To help his mother, who
was in turmoil, they
came back home with their
1-year-old daughter, but
when their house took more
than a year to sell, they had
to move in with Pams parents.
Pam was able to work for
the family business, Verona
Pharmacy, but the public
works job was a nearly 50
percent pay cut.
The one saving grace was
that director Donald Crownhart was near retirement, so
Ron stuck it out as a laborer
until 1985, when he took
over and began implementing his vision a complete
overhaul of the five-man,
mostly part-time department.
One of the first steps was
in 1986, when he hired Greg
Denner, a self-described
big, dumb farm boy, for
less than $10,000 a year.
Denner now does 90 percent of the construction
oversight as the streets
superintendent.
When I started here, the
(public works department)
was kind of a retirement
home for farmers, and Ron
has changed that whole
thing around, Denner said.
He came in here with construction background and
saw that with the right people, Verona could take on
a lot of challenges on their
own.
At the time, Verona had
less than 3,000 people in
the city but was in the midst
of tremendous growth, particularly in the new Cross
Country Heights neighborhood. Rieder, a 1972 Verona
Area High School graduate,
saw an opportunity for the
city to both save money and
offer better service by using
his construction knowledge
and having more skilled
employees.
But it wasnt as simple as
training them.
Quite honestly, when
I was hired on how
people were paid in the
public works department,
you almost needed to be
semi-retired to survive,
Rieder said. I struggled

Read a Q and A with retiring public
works director Ron Rieder:
ConnectVerona.com
the first few years when I
worked here, if wed have
a vacancy to get anyone
interested in applying. It
was like youd hire someone on, they either were not
competent or they wouldnt
stay for more than a year or
two.
Rieder credited former
alder Rocco Ceniti with
helping him push for higher
salaries, and then equipment
to make use of his new
hires new abilities. He said
his employees liked being
able to work on more complicated projects, as well.
They were not just out
on the street picking up
brush everyday, but (maintaining) the infrastructure,
as well, Rieder said.
And yet, Hochkammer
said, Rieder was never
wasteful or free-spending.
He was very conscientious, said Hochkammer,
who was the citys Finance
committee chair before he
became known as a fiscally
focused mayor. You always
knew that if Ron was asking
for something in the budget
... he really needed it.
Changing role
As Verona grew, the
public works department
needed more and more of
those resources to keep up,
and thats only gotten more
intense since the arrival of
Epic in 2005.
So has the job.
When Rieder took over
the department, the key
requirements included
possessing a commercial
drivers license and experience with heavy equipment.
But when Verona hired his
successor, the most crucial
attributes desired included
an engineering degree and
good communication skills.
I drove a truck (in the
1980s). I spent 95 percent
of my time out in the field
with my guys, Rieder said.
Now, 30 plus years later,
probably 85 percent of my
time is in the office.
That proportion could
change somewhat for Jacobson, as the redefined roles
are trying to split some of
that office time among Denner and recently promoted
assistant director Jon Bublitz, but theres no doubt the
position has changed dramatically since 1986.
Rieders former boss,
Bev Beyer, retired from her
city manager position in
the mid-1990s, and even by
then, she said, the job had
grown complex.
I believe (Ron) grew
and learned in that position
more than if hed had a UW

Ron Rieder, right, was one of five people in the public works department in 1984. Next to him is director Donald Crownhart.
degree in engineering, Beyer wrote in an email to the
Press.
By 2005, Rieders role
grew to include project
management for what would
be the two biggest municipal projects the city had ever
undertaken first the $6.5
million library, then the $7.5
million City Center, in 2007.
They consumed his nights
and weekends, as he coded bills, worked on direct
purchasing and dealt with
a thousand other tasks, and
it strained his day-to-day
work, too. But I enjoyed
that immensely, he said.
Over the past few months,
Denner has gotten a closer
look at Rieders extensive
list of duties and has been
shocked.
Its like, you really had
to do all that? Invoices, coding. Ive got a list that didnt
exist, he said. It amazes
me he ever got anything
done. It just comes with
more respect.
many complications like

waiting for utility companies
to move buried lines and
discovering that Main Street
will need to be rebuilt that
only a small part will be
done by the end of the year,
much less the end of this
week.
He knows hes leaving
the other major project the
citys immersed in the
Epic-centric Nine Mound
Road reconstruction in a
good spot. Part of that project is well underway, and
while the remaining piece
(moving the County Hwy.
PD intersection) is large, its
something his successor has
been involved in for years, as
an engineer for AECOM.
But as the months have
unfolded, Rieder has realized
where his wealth of institutional knowledge lies the
real strength that is impossible to pass down in the
month he and Jacobson have
shared together on the job.

man and a very good engiTransitioning out

then help mentor people into over the years.
For a natural people pernew roles it never seems

like enough.
For one thing, hed hoped the sort of thing you lose
the energy and desire to do
to get the 2-year-old downin your early 60s. And he

Quotable
I do remember he was very nervous
when applying for a public works job.
I think that being a nervous person
remained for a long time.
Former city manager Bev Beyer
He has complete respect from his

employees, and thats because they feel
hes one of them. He wouldnt ask them
to do anything he wouldnt do himself.
Theyll do whatever he asks him to do.
Mayor Jon Hochkammer
The man was never afraid to try

something. Sometimes he needed me to
stand on his tail a bit and slow him down,
which I was always willing to do.
Streets superintendent Greg Denner
Some of the stuff, I wasnt even aware I

was doing. It just came natural.
Ron Rieder
But with his wife, Patti,
now retired (she had worked
in the department with him
for years), the Town of
Oregon resident also knows
theres an opportunity to
really enjoy retirement and
his grandkids, and he doesnt
want to miss it.
Thats just whats so
damn hard about retiring, he
said. Clearly I have a couple

years left in me to work, but
my wifes retiring and were
both healthy and we need to
take that opportunity when
its in front of us.

in the amount of $552,364.79. Motion carried 7-0.
Re: Resolution No. R-16-030 Approving
a First Amendment to the Development
Agreement with United Vaccines. Motion
by McGilvray, seconded by Linder, to
approve a First Amendment to the Development Agreement with United Vaccines.
The original agreement, entered into on
April 8, 2015, provided for an economic
development incentive in the amount of
$700,000 to the developer, contingent
upon the developer achieving 85% completion of the project on or before June
30, 2016. This amendment extends the
85% completion of the project requirement to an on or before date of December
1, 2016. Alder Diaz requested an explanation for the delay. Rebecca Kearns, Managing Director at United Vaccines, spoke
on behalf of the company. There was a
very aggressive timeline at the beginning
of the project. Interior design was not
completed when construction started. In
January, 2016, they reached the limit to
how much exterior construction could be
done without having the interior design
ready. Final completion is scheduled
for the end of February, 2017, then 6-8
months of commissioning & validation
of the facility and equipment. They will
begin moving the operations from Fitchburg Verona in mid-2017, with the first
normal product being manufactured near

the end of 2017. Motion carried 7-0.

Use at 631 Hometown Circle. Motion by
Linder, seconded by Diaz, to approve a
conditional use permit to allow an indoor
commercial entertainment land use at
631 Hometown Circle. Motion carried 5-2,
with Alder McGilvray abstaining and Alder Diaz voting no.
a Final Plat for the Hometown Grove Plat
Creating 32 Single-Family Lots and 20
Zero Lot Line Parcels. Motion by Linder,
seconded by McGilvray, to approve a final plat for the Hometown Grove plat creating 32 single-family Lots and 20 zero lot
line parcels, located at 845 Kimball Lane,
with the following conditions:
1. Prior to the issuance of building
permits, the developer shall enter into a
developers agreement with the City.
2. The developer shall construct
privacy fence or landscaping on the condominium property to screen the condominiums from Schubert Street. The fence
materials size, location and height or
landscaping materials shall be approved
by the Director of Planning and Development. Once the fence is constructed or
landscaping installed, maintenance of
the fence shall be the responsibility of
the condominium owners. The fence or
landscaping shall be constructed or installed prior to the issuance of building
permits for the single- family houses. The
Council approved the preliminary plat for
this project in April of 2016. The required
public hearing was held on June 6, 2016.
Diaz asked the developer to the timeline of this project. Chuck Buell spoke on
behalf of Apex Property Management, the
owners of the property. The hope is to
have the project completed near Thanksgiving. Motion carried 7-0.
Re: Ordinance No. 16-871 Approving Rezoning Lots 1-32 of the Hometown Grove
Plat from Community Residential (CR)
with a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Overlay, to Community Residential (CR).
Motion by Linder, seconded by McGilvray, to approve Ordinance No. 16-871
Approving Rezoning Lots 1-32 of the
Hometown Grove Plat from Community
Residential (CR) with a Planned Unit Development Overlay (PUD), to Community
Residential (CR). This rezoning will allow for the construction of single-family
homes. Touchett asked for a timeline for
the single-family lots.
Mr. Buell stated that construction
will likely start on the single-family lots in
late August. The lots should be ready to
put on the market by Thanksgiving. Motion carried 7-0.
Re: Resolution No. R-16-024 approving
a General Development Plan (GDP) for a
Mixed Use Project Located at 142 Paoli
Street. Motion by Linder, seconded by
McGilvray, to approve a General Development Plan (GDP) for a mixed use project
located at 142 Paoli Street, with the following conditions:
1. Any internally illuminated signs or
any other signs with internal illumination
or indirect light from the back of the letters or sign shall not produce any glare.
Internally illuminated signs displaying illuminated copy shall be designed in such
a way so that when illuminated, the sign
appears to have light colored copy on a
dark or non-illuminated background. The
monument sign shall only be illuminated during the hours of operation of the
business.
2. The businesses located within the
commercial portion of the building shall
operate between the hours of 6:00 a.m.
and 10:00 p.m.
3. The commercial land uses shall
conform to the allowable uses of the

Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zoning
district.
The general development will create a planned development (PUD) for the
property at 142 Paoli Street. The developer is proposing to construct a mixed-use
building that would contain 29 apartment
units and approximately 3,700 square
feet of commercial space. Diaz asked the
developer to talk about the management
company that will be handling the apartments in this building. Bill Dresser spoke
on behalf of DDD Development. The partners are talking to Forward Management,
an experienced management company
with several buildings in Madison. McGilvray noted for the record that the second
is in agreement with the conditions laid
out by the motion. Planning and Development Director Sayre stated this project
is currently in step three of four steps in
the planned development process. Step
four, the Precise Implementation Plan
(PIP), would have to come back to the
Plan Commission and Common Council.
There would be a public hearing before
the Plan Commission. If a conditional use
permit is needed for the business going
in, that will have to go to the Plan Commission and the Common Council, as
well. Motion carried 7-0.
Re: Ordinance No. 16-872 Approving the
Annexation of 46.11 Acres of Land in
Sections 21 and 22 in Township 6 North,
Range 8 East, Town of Verona. Motion
Linder, seconded by McGilvray, to approve Ordinance No. 16-872 approving
the annexation of 46.11 acres of land in
Section 21 and 22 in Township 6 North,
Range 8 East, Town of Verona. This annexation will add 46.11 acres of land to
the City for the Coating Place. Motion
carried 7-0.
Re: Ordinance No. 16-873 Approving a
Zoning Map Amendment to 16.40 Acres
of Annexed Land to Urban Industrial (UI).
Motion by Linder, seconded by McGilvray, to approve Ordinance No. 16-873

16.40 Acres of Annexed Land to Urban
Industrial (UI). Motion carried 7-0.
a Conditional Use Permit for the Use of
a Drive-Thru Pick-Up Area at 991 Kimball
Lane. Motion by Linder, seconded by
McGilvray, to approve a conditional use
permit for the use of a drive-thru pick-up
area at 991 Kimball Lane. This conditional use permit would convert an existing
carwash bay to a drive-thru pick-up area
for coffee and food. Motion carried 6-1,
with Alder McGilvray voting no.
Re: Resolution No. 16-026 Approving
a General Development Plan (GDP) for
Pure Sweet Honey Located at 506, 508
and 514 Commerce Parkway. Motion by
Linder, seconded by McGilvray, to approve a General Development Plan (GDP)
for Pure Sweet Honey located at 506, 508
and 514 Commerce Parkway. Motion carried 7-0.
Re: Ordinance No. 16-874 Approving a
Zoning Map Amendment to Rezone Lot
16 of the Verona Technology Park from
Suburban Industrial (SI) to Suburban
Commercial (SC). No motion was made.
This rezoning would help facilitate a
future request to use the property for a
dog daycare business. The Citys Southeast Neighborhood Plan identified this
property as a future commercial use.
Linder stated that he voted against this
zoning amendment at the Plan Commission meeting, as the dog daycare is not
definite. Discussion followed regarding:
postponing the rezoning until the deal between the developer and the dog daycare
business is closed; reasons for rezoning,
including that the Suburban Commercial zoning is consistent with the Citys
comprehensive plan for that area; the
recommendation of staff to rezone; adding a contingency of sale to the motion
to rezone; statutory obligations to the
developer; possible access restrictions
to other potential properties; delaying
action to a later date; the business model for the dog daycare; concern on the
part of the owners about going further
with the project without proper zoning in
place; whether the outdoor play area for
the dogs is allowed by city ordinance; if
all other properly zoned properties have
been considered; the closing date of
the sale of the property; findings of fact
in the Citys ordinance; lack of grounds
to deny the rezoning; and alternate motions. Motion by McGilvray, seconded by
Touchett, to approve Ordinance No. 16-
