Monday, July 25 Controlling Water Quality in Drinking Water Systems The control of water quality in drinking water distribution systems is complicated. However, there are ways to lower the potential for harmful water quality to occur. This presentation describes a perspective that allows for a more comprehensive understanding of what shapes water quality in individual water systems than the regulatory perspective. It also describes a technique for proactive control of water quality. Green Bay Water Utility is used as an example of application of this technique in response to a Lead and Copper Rule compliance issue for lead.

Master Academy Schedule Tuesday, July 26 What Do We Do When Crude Oil by Rail: Train Derailment Do you know what is traveling by rail through your town? The United States is producing more oil than it has in 30 years and is relying on railroads to deliver these products to refineries. Oil trains are not subject to the same strict routing requirements placed on other hazardous materials. Trains carrying explosive crude are permitted to pass directly through cities. November 9, 2015 a Canadian Pacific Railway train loaded with crude oil jumped the tracks in Watertown on a Sunday afternoon spilling hundreds of gallons of oil and causing neighborhood evacuations. Learn about the train routes carrying crude oil through your counties and about preparedness. Watertown emergency response team and local officials will tell their story of crude oil derailment. Pat O Connor, Director, Bureau of Response and Recovery, Wisconsin Emergency Management Donna Haugom, Director, Jefferson County Office of Emergency Management and Local Officials Run, Hide, Fight? To survive an active shooter event you need a plan. There are three options: run, hide or fight. Understand your options. David Jones, Emergency Manager, UW-Green Bay Police Wednesday, July 27 Last Lecture Made to Serve: The Tragic Corruption of America s Founding Values Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness were key values according to our Founders. So what would they think, then, of our 24/7 work schedules, the outsized value we place upon work and material consumption today, and the fear that drives many to acquiesce to organizational demands that run counter to their own values and needs? Have our individual rights and freedoms been sacrificed to the organizational value system? These questions will be explored. Lucy Arendt, Ph.D., Associate Dean, College of Professional Studies, Professor of Management Priority Based Budgeting In an ongoing era of tax levy freezes and declining revenues, the resources of our citizens are limited. Therefore, if we hope to provide excellent citizen service, we need to direct those limited resources appropriately, being less concerned about the quantity of services we provide and more concerned about the quality of those services. Come hear about Washington County s political realities and approach to align tax dollars with priority programs through priority based budgeting. Washington is the 1st official County in Wisconsin to engage the Center for Priority Based Budgeting and utilize a new approach to budgeting in order to accomplish County objectives. The Center for Priority Based Budgeting work has been published and/or highlighted by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), Alliance for Innovation, Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), and National League of Cities (NLC). Joshua Schoemann, County Administrator for Washington County Jamie Ludovic, Assistant to the County Administrator for Washington County
