Unfortunately the Village, along with the Richfield Volunteer Fire Department, are the only governing bodies that can issue a formal 'Fireworks Permit'. The permit can be obtained from the Village's Deputy Clerk, Caroline Fochs at (262)-628-2260 ext. 11 or at DeputyClerk@richfieldwi.gov.

Well our first snow fall has come and gone. This is a reminder to reduce your speeds and drive with caution during our winter months. Failure to drive with caution or reduced speed has resulted in accidents and cars in the ditch. This can leave you open for enforcement action for speeds too fast for conditions, Wisconsin State Statue 346.57(3). Please take the extra time and precautions when winter conditions strike.

See my idea in 2013 budge section! We need a place for our youth that are not intersted in baseball or soccer. There is no where for our youth that are intersted in basketball or even skateboarding or BMX bikes to go to do those activities how about considering adding either or both of those to our parks!

It’s back to school time and that means the buses will be running at all time of the morning and afternoon. As our kids starts their 2012-2013 school adventures we need to make sure we are watching for kids and buses. Wisconsin state statue 346.48(1) states that when a bus is displaying flashing red warning lights, you shall stop the vehicle not less than 20 feet from the bus and remained stop until the bus resumes motion or the operator extinguishes the flashing red warning lights. Violation of this carries a fine of $263.50 and 2 ponts.

To answer the questions what do our parks lack! We lack a basketball hoop or skateboard park! Any child no intersted in soccer or baseball pretty much is left in the dust when it comes to sports in our park system. Unless there is a court I don't know about we have no where for kids to shoot hoops or ride their boards or bikes that is safe. Let's face it our road ways in RF are not the safest to do either of the last two safely! It may not fall under beautification but it certainly is something that we are in great need of in our community for our youth!

There is no doubt that the most important document the Village produces is our annual Village Budget. This year Village Staff is focused on continuing to improve the quality of product we make public. One of the things we heard last year were the charts, graphs, and glossary we included were very helpful to residents.
Is there anything else we can do to help make the Village Budget more understandable?
Is there anything we can do in advance of the Community Budget Workshops to help better prepare residents for the conversation?

Great topic Jim and maybe I am late coming in on this conversation but, what drew me to Richfield was it's Rustic and Rural atmosphere. Love it! Lets keep it that way. I know beautification and development may not go hand in hand, but I would hate to see Richfield turn into a small City. We have a lot of History; Holy Hill, Messer Mayer Mill, St. Mary's Church, and the apparent oldest standing house in Richfield which is being renovated. I think preserving this makes Richfield a beautiful and proud place to live.

Storage of campers and boats in driveways gives a bad impression of the neighborhood and should not be allowed. This is especially true in winter and when the equipment is old and weathered.

I live on pioneer road between hwy 175 and mayfield road. i have one 3yo boy and have my second due in march. i am not the only family in the stretch of road who has children. I have spoken with them and they feel the same as I do. we agree that the current speed limit of 4o mph is to fast for the width of the road and current amount of traffic. including the horrible amount of dump trucks and cement trucks that use this section of road to get to us41. we believe that the trucks should use hwy 175 to hwy 60 or hwy 175 to 167 to reach us41. pioneer road was never built to withstand this amount of truck traffic and the road surface shows it.
i and my neighbors plan to bring this to the village board in the near future.
