Next step: Get Library Board involved
Village Board discusses cost,

The Oregon Village Board has
been talking about a civic campus for hour discussing its next steps on
more than a year and has had its eyes
on a specific spot for the library for
School District students experience
in their chosen field while still in
school.
Few decisions are as daunting as
a high schooler trying to figure out
what they want to do with the rest
of their lives after graduation. So for
decades, the School to Career pro-
gram has matched up students inter-
ests with area employers.
Its open to juniors and seniors
with a career plan who have taken
course work in that area, and its up
to the students to apply, interview
and be offered the position.
The great benefit to students,
about half that time.
But before trustees settle on a loca-
tion or make any other major deci-
sions, they want to bring the Library
Board into the process and come to
an agreement on who will make the
call on what.

No drugs were found on
the Oregon Middle or High

during the second random
K-9 search of the school
year.
It was the second of
two planned random K-9
drug sweeps at the schools
during the 2016-17 school
year, which the school
board approved Sept. 14 on
a trial basis. The first sweep
turned up suspected mar-

Making a difference
A group of senior citizens got to return to their high
school lives for a night as they danced at a prom held just
for them 18 Oregon High School volunteers.
The senior citizen prom was one of the events that the
student council hosted during Lets Make a Difference
Week, which included food pantry volunteering, fund-
raising, visiting an animal sanctuary and cleaning up trash.
The events aimed to encourage students to get involved in
the community and meet community members.
Student council president Tessa Reilly said she wanted
students to feel connected with the community because
(we are) always doing our own thing but not focused on
anyone else.
So many students benefited from this, Reilly said.
She added that she hopes to make it an ongoing event.

one of them. There was some debate over
The village continues to work on whether the village should pay to
details of a developer agreement lease the spots or the developer,
with Spanrie Properties, which plans mainly because, as Dregne pointed
to build a three-story apartment out, the amount of villages eco-
nomic development grant (in the
form of tax-increment financing)
was determined based on the gaps in
the developers ability to finance the
project. In other words, as he put it,
asking them to pay for it is like ask-
ing them to pass the cost back to us.
There was also the concern that
because there is much public park-
ing downtown, contractors are legal-
ly entitled to park just about wher-
ever they want. Yet some trustees
felt Spanrie should be solving this
potential problem, not leaving it to
the village.
Its expected the developer will
likely propose the same lease agree-
ment of the parking spaces that the
village would, and that it would,
administrator Mike Gracz said, be
a drop in the bucket compared
to the rest of the TIF deal likely
approaching $1 million. Still, the
board agreed (without a vote) that
Spanrie should bring the proposal to
the board and put it in the contract to
make it enforceable.
Trustee Jeff Boudreau said he
expects the developer to be cooper-
ative.
He said he wants to be sure
this is a win-win, Boudreau said.
Ask for the plan and hell come
with it.
The developer agreement was
previously expected to be approved
April 10, but it was not ready, and
this is one more detail that could
postpone it further.
Groundbreaking for the project
was scheduled for Wednesday, April
26, and actual construction is expect-
ed to begin around the same time the
county closes Jefferson Street for an
upgrade before transferring it to the
village. Public works director Jeff
Rau told village officials in an email
Thursday the road closure from Ash
Street to Burr Oak will begin May
4 and that the second phase would

Board approves new staffing levels for 2017-18 school year

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
As the Oregon School
Board added two new mem-
bers Monday night, the board
also looked ahead to the
2017-18 school year, approv-
ing just over $1 million in
costs for new teachers and
support staff.
The board voted unani-
mously to approve adminis-
trators recommendations to
add new positions including
a bilingual teacher, comput-
er technician, AP computer
science teacher, math coach,
school psychologist and
communications director.
Three elementary school
teaching positions were also
conditionally approved if
enrollment pushes class siz-
es above district guidelines.
District superintendent Brian
Busler said district officials
will know by July if those
extra teachers will be needed.
The spending also includes
$400,000 for Year 2 increases
in the teacher compensation
plan, as well as $200,000 for
an annual 2 percent staff pay
increase. The increases are
expected to be offset by addi-
tional funding from the state
promised in Gov. Walkers
biennial budget, though state
legislators are in the process
of hammering out a final
budget for Walker to sign in

Letters to the editor

Action to protect the planet is critical
Climate change is the most
important challenge humanity
has ever faced.
The 2015 Paris Agreement is
an unprecedented global pact
among 196 nations to prevent
catastrophic climate change and
ensure a safer planet for our
children and grandchildren. A
goal of the Paris Agreement is
to focus equally on economic
growth and environmental pro-
tection. It has taken a long time
to reach this point.
Wisconsin Senator Gaylord
Nelson struggled for years to
interest his political colleagues
in environmental protection. He
finally turned to the people by
proposing April 22, 1970, as the
first Earth Day for Americans to
speak out. Nelsons leadership
and the voices of 20 million
Americans on that first Earth
Day resulted in President Rich-

safe level of carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere is considered
350 parts per million; levels are
currently 400 parts per million
and still rising.
There is reason to be con-
cerned because carbon is
sequestered in ocean floors, in
frozen northern lands, in forest
trees that are cut and in fossil
fuels that are burned for trans-
portation and electricity. As
warming temperatures and burn-
ing of fuels release these carbon
stores, levels can become cat-
astrophically high. The effects
experienced around the world
are increasing extreme weather
events, violent storms, floods,
droughts, fires, food and water
shortages, health impacts and
political unrest.

Uhl first introduced the
idea of random searches
in November 2015, but the
school board had concerns
about adverse effects on
students and whether ran-
dom searches would be
effective as a deterrent.
While the board remained
hesitant about the idea
last summer, it voted 5-2
to approve them on a trial
basis and review their effec-
tiveness after the year.
Uhl said after talking
with Oregon School District
superintendent Brian Busler,
he expects that review to
take place sometime this
summer, though there is no
criteria set out by which the
sweeps will be evaluated.
One of the potential fac-
tors could be interruption to

maintenance. The Library Board would con-
trol all of that, but the Village Board would
help fund it, along with circulation-based
funding from the county. The projected $8.5
million cost of the building is entirely the
responsibility of the village.
Dregne and Trustee Jeff Boudreau
both expressed concern that the village
was already knee-deep in the process of
selecting a location on North Main Street
having already purchased the land and
yet had not directly involved the Library
Board. And more importantly, Dregne said
he didnt want to see what would happen
if there were a disagreement about the size
of building needed, the number of floors or
other important considerations.
Some communities stumble through this
process without mapping that out and dont
have a problem, and sometimes they do, he
said. I dont want to end up there.
The solution, the Village Board agreed,
is a memorandum of understanding the two
boards can negotiate that would spell out
responsibilities and powers of each.
Trustees had plenty more to discuss (but
not yet decide) Tuesday about the poten-
tial library. In addition to the cost estimate,
there was discussion of how many floors it
should be, when it should be built and the
continuation of a stepped staffing plan in
anticipation of the new buildings capacity.
They also briefly talked about fundraising
and keeping the area towns involved and
informed.
Much of the main topics couldnt go into
the sort of detail they wanted without the
conversation feeling as if they were usurp-
ing authority they might not have, so many
aspects of the discussion were postponed.
But library director Nikki Busch and plan-
ner Mike Slavney provided all sorts of infor-
mation for the group, including the cost and
size of comparable projects, the typical per-
square foot pricetag ($240), various poten-
tial configurations (including a potential
partially exposed basement) and feedback
on how a third floor would affect staffing.
Trustee Jerry Bollig wondered if the
library might not need quite so much space
now that its electronic materials circulation
is increasing faster than its distribution of
books and other physical materials. Busch
assured him the current librarys demand is
already far beyond capacity and circulation
of physical materials continues to increase,
even if its not as quickly as that of electron-
ic.
Trustee Jenna Jacobson wondered how
neighbors might feel about a three-sto-
ry building, but Slavney reminded her the
potential third story would be on the bot-
tom, rather than the top, making it feel more
like a two-story building. Busch acknowl-
edged a more vertical building adds staffing
challenges, but she said good design with
proper line of sight can help alleviate
that.
And Village President Steve Staton told
the group that before they can plan the tim-
ing, the Library Board needs to take own-
ership of the effect the building will have
on village taxes and that the villages finan-
cial adviser should do some scenarios
indicating how taxes would be affected by
different construction schedules.
Busch remarked that it feels like we just
built the now 22-year-old building, but her
research indicated that of the comparable
libraries, the buildings they replaced aver-
aged 20.5 years old.
