Mayor Wiggins is currently a member of the Northern Indiana Mayor’s Roundtable and has provided leadership as its President and Treasurer. He serves as chairman of the Audit Committee of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, and is a member of both their Legislative and Executive Committees. As a member of the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Team, Mayor Wiggins works with other area Mayors on regional emergency preparedness.

While serving as Mayor, many partnerships and projects have been visualized and implemented. The excellent working relationship between the city and county elected officials has resulted in the creation of a state-wide recognized joint city/county 911 dispatch center. This project has saved both entities tax dollars by eliminating duplicate services provided by the city and county. Working in consort with the Warsaw Community School System and area residents, the Logan Street Project became a reality to ease the bus and student traffic and provide neighborhood sidewalk/curb improvements. This project utilized a grant that paid for 80% of the project. Mayor Wiggins worked with the Police Department Administration to address their need to combine services in one facility. A vacant building was targeted, renovated and put into service to fulfill their need.

Mayor Wiggins has maintained a focus on Warsaw’s downtown by working with the WCDC on events and with property owners to reinvest in their downtown properties. To assess the downtown image and identify needs, as seen from the viewpoint of city residents, The HyettPalma Study was commissioned. Attention is now being given to its implementation. The importance to Mayor Wiggins of our recreation facilities can be seen though the formation of a private/public partnership utilizing an 80% matching grant to build the Lake City Greenway connecting areas in Warsaw, Winona Lake and Kosciusko County. Working with a private citizen, art sculpture is now a part of the beautiful Center Lake Park. Through the joint efforts of the CCAC and the City of Warsaw, CCAC enthusiasts can now enjoy a paved parking area. Also, sensitivity to the environment is demonstrated in the city’s implementation of a new curb-recycling program.

Under the leadership of Mayor Wiggins, Warsaw residents have benefited from the city tax rate being consistently kept under the maximum levy allowed by the state. This has provided a sound local tax base for our schools, medical facilities and retail establishments. He works diligently to keep our tax base strong and encourages business and industry to remain in Warsaw, reinvest and provide jobs for the citizenry. His efforts were instrumental in Medtronic remaining, expanding and providing new jobs in Warsaw.

Mayor Wiggins’ attentiveness to the infrastructure that will be needed as this community grows has resulted in the implementation the Warsaw Master Plan sewer expansion plans, the building of a second waste water treatment plant and causing Hoosier Water Company to address and plan how to deliver residents with improved water quality.

Providing police and fire protection, snow removal, leaf pickup, street maintenance and trash removal are standard services provided by a city. However, Mayor Wiggins’ commitment to provide city services with "service" being the key word can be seen by his having required each city department head to participate in a special training program to educate, train and inform employees how to provide services and interact with concerned residents. "It is not just enough for us to provide these services. Each city employee needs to know that we are employed or elected to "serve" the residents. I want it done to our best ability and with a smile," says Mayor Wiggins.
