PUBLIC HEARINGS
a.
PUBLIC HEARING ON LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATIONS FOR PERIOD
FROM JULY 1, 2014 TO JUNE 30, 2015.
Pres. Schultz opened the public hearing on the liquor license applications for the
period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, and stated if anyone wished to speak
on this topic, he or she should come to the podium and state his or her name and
address for the record.
After a second and third call, and hearing no comments, Pres. Schultz closed the
public hearing and indicated that the matter would be discussed again under item
9-a.
5.
PUBLIC COMMENT
John Mielke, 423 East Milwaukee Avenue, addressed the Council at this time indicating
he wanted to speak to item 10-b of the agenda regarding Building Codes. There is a
piece of legislation that passed that prohibits municipalities from enacting local building
codes that would establish minimum standards for constructing, altering or adding to
public buildings. He said what the legislation says is that municipalities can no longer
have codes that are more stringent than State Codes with regard to commercial buildings.
There is a grandfathering provision that allows municipalities to submit certain
ordinances to be grandfathered; however in order for the ordinance to be considered
under the grandfathering it has to be related to constructing, altering or adding to a public
building and it has to be related to fire protection, prevention or suppression.
Mr. Mielke said the action on the agenda this evening is for the Council to submit a suite
of building codes that exist for the State to consider under the grandfathering. He
understands the thinking behind it which would give the City a “place holder”, and the
City will be on record with the codes. He has talked with the Department and their
position is if they get a suite of codes that haven’t been analyzed locally, they are simply
going to return them to the municipality asking which ones fit and then send them back.
They are not going to consider a packet of codes as a “place holder”.
Mr. Mielke said he is requesting the Council reject the recommendation from City staff.
He has reviewed the building codes that are being asked to be submitted, and in his
estimation, doesn’t believe there are any codes that are going to be allowed under the
grandfathering provision. Most of the codes listed are related to erosion control, which is
not a subject matter of the Bill; Uniform Dwelling Codes, which pertain to one and two
family building code provisions; and the Fire Prevention Code. Mr. Mielke said the bulk
of the codes related to construction are electrical, which will be eliminated as there will
be a State-wide electrical code.
Mr. Mielke concluded by saying it won’t matter if the City sends in all of the ordinances
or not, as the Department is going to send all the ordinances back to the City as he feels
there are no code provisions that are more stringent and fit the grandfathering.
Mr. Mielke indicated he worked on this Bill for approximately five years. Cm. Lescohier
asked Mr. Mielke if he saw any downside or risk to the City in submitting anything. Mr.
Mielke said the only downside is this is a temporary strategy that we don’t have any
alternative for, and if in fact there is a provision that the City thinks will be
grandfathered, this strategy won’t get the City there. He concluded by saying that in his
reading of the ordinances, there aren’t any provisions that will be grandfathered in, so it’s
a moot point.

b.
REQUEST APPROVAL TO SUBMIT LOCAL ORDINANCES TO STATE
REGARDING COMMERCIAL BUILDING CODES.
The Building Inspector began by thanking Mr. Mielke for the comments he made
earlier and for the research that he did; he summed it up nicely. The City, as well
as other area communities are trying to come to grips as to how this is going to
affect us; some of it is not clear as to which of our ordinances will be affected.
He said he is concerned that we have seen nothing in writing from the Department
indicating this would be a place holder for the City, and if we will have the ability
to review the ordinances to determine if and how they will be effected by this Act.
His main concern is to get things on file with the Department within the
timeframe given. The Building Inspector said what he is attempting to do by this
action, is to give the City ample time to review the ordinances to determine how
they are going to be affected by the Act.
Fire Chief Reel also thanked Mr. Mielke as well as the Building Inspector for the
work done on the matter. The Fire Department has also done a lot of research on
the matter. Chief Reel then introduced the Fire Department’s part-time inspector,
Terry Nolan. It was indicated that Mr. Nolan was previously employed by the
State and is very familiar with the Codes. Cm. Lescohier asked Mr. Nolan if he
saw any risks by the City submitting the ordinances as proposed. He said the City
has not been given any direction other than a very basic set of guidelines by
which to go by this legislation. Mr. Nolan indicated that Mr. Mielke’s comments
are new to them. Also, he said he is not aware of any penalty or closure if we
submit.
What the City is doing is consistent State-wide with many of the fire and building
players because of that lack of direction. From 1915 to now, municipalities have
always had that ability to do this under constitutional home rule. A constitutional
home rule is a rule that came into effect in 1924, and with that said, we are in
unchartered waters when we are talking about uniform codes – one size fits all
across the State – and everyone has unique needs. If we go down this path and
don’t address any of our local ordinances, the question then becomes about local
enforcement, local interpretation, and where does all that go if we do away with
all the ordinances that we do have that fall under the realm of the Commercial
Building Code.
Cm. Hartwick asked Mr. Nolan if there are any penalties that may come into
effect, to which Mr. Nolan indicated he was not aware of any. Cm. Hartwick then
asked John Mielke if he was aware of any penalties, and he indicated he did not
know. Mr. Mielke said with the various municipalities sending in numerous
ordinances, the Department will not be able to review them all, and may just
return them to the municipalities to make the determination on what will be
effected.
Cm. Kotz asked Mr. Nolan if the proposed legislation would only affect existing
commercial buildings if they were to have alterations, and Mr. Nolan indicated
that was correct. Mr. Nolan said with the legislation that was crafted, we have to
work with our existing ordinances that existed before the date line. It was
indicated that by submitting the ordinances, we are proposing to keep existing
guidelines in effect.
Mr. Nolan said we are taking our existing ordinances and trying to keep what we
have. We have the ability in the future to amend, but we cannot broaden what we
already have in place. If we don’t submit, and this legislation never gets changed,
we can never go back to being more stringent.
The Building Inspector said if we use our Zoning Code as a comparison for more
stringent codes, our Code may require more greenspace and landscaping
requirements than other communities. He hopes the Department takes note that if
so many communities are forwarding so many ordinances to them for review,
they will realize that the legislation caused a lot of confusion to the municipalities.
Mr. Nolan said many of the municipalities are delegated municipalities, which
means that they act as an agent for the State of Wisconsin Department of Safety
and Professional Services. He said Brian Juarez happens to be one, and one of the
conditions is that the ordinances are adopted locally, which the City has done. If
we don’t get recognized in this window, we don’t know what will happen to all
those agents.
Cm. Lescohier asked if we submit our ordinances to the State and they send it
back and said the ball is in our court, what the next step would be. The Building
Inspector said we would continue to review them. He hopes if we respond in
good faith within the 60 day window, the Department would accept that as our
“place holder”. Cm. Lescohier said if we choose not to send anything in, the
window is closed as of June 17, 2014.
Cm. Kotz said if Mr. Mielke is correct and we send all the ordinances in and the
Department sends them back saying they are not applicable, the downside would
be if there is one we really want to be looked at, they may say “Fort Atkinson
turned in everything”. The Building Inspector said for clarification, we did
submit the ones that did matter in that 60-day window. Whether they were part of
a package or not, they were submitted within the timeframe. If they are going to
say that automatically throws it all out the window, he questions what playbook
they would be using to make the determinations.
Pres. Schultz said what he is hearing is there may be a very limited value in
sending this in, but we do have some potential damage if we don’t. Mr. Nolan
indicated that was correct. If we don’t do anything and that 60-day window goes
by, it’s over until the legislation changes. That’s why everybody is sending stuff
in, because they don’t know what applies, they don’t know what is going to
qualify, they are just trying to preserve that 60-day window and if a lot of matters
get sent back from the Department, that opens the question of the challenge and
your right to address your concerns.
Cm. Kotz asked for an example in our ordinances that would be different from the
State guidelines. Mr. Nolan said he hasn’t been on board long enough to know all
the City ordinances, but the situation comes down to interpretation, application
and enforcement. If we don’t do anything, the State becomes the sole player on
that roll call. That roll call may or may not be what the City is looking for in
terms of addressing our unique needs.
The Building Inspector said one example of something different in our Codes is
that in City’s Electrical Code we require a raceway requirement for commercial
and industrial buildings. That is a rule that was put in place by a previous Council
years ago to provide additional facilitation for future circuits.
Other
municipalities have this same rule.
Cm. Kotz said it comes down to the inspectors having to interpret the guidelines,
and there is always some judgment involved.
Mr. Nolan said the legislation recognizes ordinances that were pre-existing, and
also ordinances that are equal to, and that point hasn’t been discussed much. If
we are equal to the State requirements, it gives us the control for the application
and interpretation as well as the enforcement.
The Building Inspector said the attempt is to submit only those ordinances we feel
could be applicable under the Act. We are trying, in good faith, to play by the
rules.
John Mielke again stated that the only matters being affected by the legislation are
those regarding fire suppression, prevention and protection. Cm. Hartwick said
part of the problem is that we don’t have the time to review the ordinances before
the deadline. Pres. Schultz said it could hurt the City’s creditability if we just
send a shopping list of ordinances. The Building Inspector said they attempted to
narrow it down and there may be things that won’t be affected, but there are many
questions on the interpretation of the Act.
The Building Inspector said we are not looking to change any of our existing
ordinances; all we are doing is submitting the ordinances to the Department to
procure some time to review the matter and see how it will shake out.
Cm. Lescohier asked the Building Inspector if there are any City ordinances that
would be stricter than the State Codes regarding fire prevention, protection and
suppression, to which the Building Inspector said that’s what we are trying to find
out.
Cm. Kotz said his concern is that the City wants to be business friendly and this
could make it tougher, or at least interpreted as being tougher.
Cm. Lescohier, seconded by Cm. Hartwick, moved to approve the request to
submit the local ordinances to the State regarding Commercial Building Codes.
The motion carried on a 4-1 voice vote with Cm. Kotz opposed.
c.
NOTIFICATION FROM POLICE CHIEF ON RETIREMENT EFFECTIVE
JULY 1, 2014.
The Acting City Manager said Chief Brus has submitted notification of his
retirement effective July 1, 2014. He recommended the Council accept the notice
and authorize the Police & Fire Commission to begin the recruitment process for
a new Police Chief. There will be costs associated with the search, however, the
Police Department’s budget should have sufficient funds to cover those costs. It
is anticipated a new Police Chief could be on board by mid-September to early
October.
Cm. Hartwick asked if there would be an Acting Chief, to which the Acting City
Manager said that has not been decided as of yet. The Police & Fire Commission
would make that determination. Pres. Schultz said under Wisconsin Law, this is
entirely under the responsibility of the Police & Fire Commission. They will
advertise, interview and hire the new Police Chief. The City Council would have
a say on salary and benefits.
Cm. Hartwick, seconded by Cwmn. LaMuro, moved to accept the notification
from Police Chief on his retirement effective July 1, 2014, and to extend thanks
from the City. On call of the roll, the motion carried unanimously.
d.
REQUEST FOR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANCE AT
FIREWORKS SHOW ON JULY 5, 2014.
The Acting City Manager indicated Festival Foods would like to sponsor a
fireworks show at the Fort Atkinson High School. The City, School District,
Chamber of Commerce and Dr. Bill Kontny have been working with them to
make this happen. The fireworks company will carry a $5,000,000 insurance
policy for the event, listing the City as an additional insured. The School Board
has approved the use of their facilities.
The Fire Department is working with Festival Foods to get a fireworks permit,
and if granted, the Fire Department would be on standby at the show. The Police
Department will be present at the event and to provide traffic control at the end of
the event. The City may also deliver additional trash barrels and put up no
parking signs where needed for the event.
The event is proposed to take place on Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 9:45 p.m. and last
approximately 20-30 minutes.
Some minimal overtime could be required from the Police and Fire Departments
for their services. Also, the Jefferson County Emergency Communication group
may help out the Police, which would keep their overtime costs down.
Cm. Hartwick, seconded by Cwmn. LaMuro, moved to approve the request for
Police and Fire Department assistance at fireworks show on July 5, 2014,
contingent on Festival Foods obtaining the proper permit. On call of the roll, the
motion carried unanimously.
