The deadline for the Village of Pleasant Prairie community survey is approaching. The survey seeks community input on several funding options to maintain high-quality fire and police services. Many residents have already responded, and there is still time for those that have not completed the survey to submit feedback. The community survey submission deadline is November 22. Responses to the community-wide survey will help the Village determine how best to proceed with future budget decisions.
In recent years, the population and business community in Pleasant Prairie has grown, causing an increase in the demand for public safety services. As a result, it is becoming difficult to sustain the level of service the Pleasant Prairie community has come to expect.
“Chief of Police David Smetana and I are committed to ensuring the safety of all Village residents while working hard to be good stewards of taxpayer money,” said Craig Roepke, Chief of Fire & Rescue. “As the Village continues to grow and the demand for public safety services increases, the funding sources currently available are not keeping pace with the needs of our community. Community responses to the survey will help us finalize a plan that reflects the opinions of our residents.”
The Village has developed an assessment of public safety funding options to provide additional details on the decisions facing local leaders. Citizens are encouraged to review the assessment
here.
