HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES May 11, 2026 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Health & Safety Committee was held on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 800 Borner St., Prescott, WI 54021. 1. Call to Order/Roll Call: Meeting was called to order by Chair Dar Hintz at 5:00 PM. Members present were Dar Hintz, Maureen Otwell, and Bailey Ruona. Representing staff were City Administrator Matt Wolf, Clerk Rashel Temmers, and Police Chief Eric Michaels. Also present were Megan Langer and Kevin Champlin. 2. Approval of Health and Safety Committee Minutes from February 18, 2026. Committee Member Ruona motioned to approve the minutes from February 18, 2026, seconded by Committee Member Otwell. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-to-0. 3. Review of “Class B” at 216 Broad Street and Presentation of Business Plan by Megan Langer City Administrator Matt Wolf presented background information at 216 Broad Street. On October 1, 2024, Jonathan Lundquist of Big G Ventures, LLC, purchased 216 Broad St N., previously known as Lucille’s. Mr. Lundquist began interior demolition shortly after purchasing the building and planned to remodel and reopen it as Gordy’s Hi-Hat. Since the date of purchase, renovations have not been completed, and the business has not been opened. Staff has allowed Mr. Lundquist to retain the “Class B” Liquor License in anticipation that the business would open; however, the building is now listed for sale. Mr. Lundquist has stated that there are interested parties, but only if the “Class B” Liquor License remains available. After extensive research, the “Class B” Liquor License held by Mr. Lundquist appears to be a Reserve License as it was issued after 1998. According to WI DOR, publication 309, if the property is sold, the purchaser would be required to follow the new license approval process. Megan Langer expressed interest in purchasing and renovating the property. Her proposed business model would require that the “Class B” Liquor License remain associated with the property. She requested the opportunity to present her business plan in support of allowing the license to remain available for use at this location. If approved, she would be required to pay the full liquor license fee as a new license holder. Additionally, The Corner Italian has expressed interest in obtaining the liquor license if it becomes available. The restaurant previously applied for one of the City’s two available liquor licenses, which were ultimately granted to The Roadhouse and Point St. Croix Marina. Under Wisconsin State Statutes, municipalities receive one additional Class B Liquor License for every increase of 500 in population. The City’s last increase occurred when the population reached 4,260 residents, and the next additional license will become available once the city reaches a population of 4,760. According to the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s 2025 population estimate, the City of Prescott had a population of 4,559. Megan Langer presented a brief overview of her business plan for 216 Broad Street. Committee member Ruona motioned to approve keeping the “Class B” Liquor License available for use at 216 Broad Street. Committee member Otwell seconded the motion. There was no further discussion on the motion. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-to-0. 4. Review of UTV/ATVs within the City of Prescott Municipal Limits City Administrator Matt Wolf presented information regarding the use of UTVs/ATVs within city limits. Under Wisconsin law, municipalities may authorize all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and/or utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) operation on designated roadways through the adoption of a local ordinance pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 23.33. Since legislative changes adopted in 2017, cities, villages, and towns may authorize ATV/UTV operation on highways with speed limits of 35 mph or less within municipal boundaries, even if the municipality does not maintain jurisdiction over the roadway. The City of Prescott is unique in that it is bordered by two rivers, and is only accessible via US Highway 10 and State Highway 29/35, all of which have speed limits greater than 35 mph. Therefore, there is currently no legal way to access the city by ATV/UTV from outside the community. Wolf also noted that the drawbacks of allowing ATV/UTV operation within city limits include safety concerns related to traffic and population density, noise, and enforcement challenges. Committee member Ruona motioned to make no changes to the current ATV/UTV city ordinances. Committee member Otwell seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-0. 5. First Aid and Safety Compliance Inspection Findings for Municipal Buildings City Administrator Matt Wolf presented findings received from a First Aid and Compliance Review completed by Cintas. Cintas provided a free city-wide First Aid and Safety Compliance inspection, and the findings of this inspection are as follows: 1. City Hall/Library a. AED Needs Replacement as it is Over Ten Years Old b. Needs a First Aid Cabinet in the building, recommendation is in the break room 2. Fire Hall a. 2001 Medtronic AED Needs Replacement in Firetruck as it is over 20 years old (not sure, which truck this is). b. 2018 and 2019 AEDs are borderline but can still be used in other trucks c. Needs a First Aid Cabinet in the building, recommendation is in the kitchen area 3. Police a. Needs a First Aid Cabinet in the building, recommendation is in the middle of the building, in the garage. b. Did not review or check the AEDs in the Police vehicles. Eric, is this something we are already doing regularly? c. The Eyewash station should be flushed for 10-15 seconds each week to avoid contaminated water being used. Recommendation is to post a sheet that someone can sign off each week. 4. Public Works a. Needs a First Aid Cabinet in the building, recommendation just outside of the breakroom b. No AED at Location c. No Eyewash Station d. Recommendation that Trucks that are commonly used should have First Aid Kits e. Recommendation is to update the water fountain for hygiene and to provide cooler water due to potential overheating 5. Freedom Park a. Needs a First Aid Cabinet or Bag, since there is no employee area on the main level. Recommendation is a First Aid Bag to be stored under the desk area. b. Needs an updated AED, as the current one is from 2005 6. Wastewater Building/Wells a. Needs a First Aid Cabinet, recommendation is by the current empty cabinet b. No Eyewash Station at WWTP, recommendation is by the chemical usage area at the plant c. Eyewash stations at Wells should be flushed for 10-15 seconds each week to avoid contaminated water being used. Recommendation is to post a sheet that someone can sign off on each week. Discussion was held that the city can get updated AEDs from Allina Health either via grants or for less than what is offered by Cintas, and the committee recommended that staff do some price checking on the rest of the first aid kits and recommendations. Committee member Otwell asked that, since we are doing some price checking, staff should investigate obtaining bio-hazard kits and what they would cost. There was no motion on this item as it was for informational purposes only and for the committee to recommend to staff on how to move forward with this. 6. Other Business: a. Parking at 220 Broad Street Committee member Hintz reported that the business at 220 Broad Street has been parking in the “drive-through” area between 220 Broad Street and the Circle K Gas Station. A fence and picnic tables have also been placed near the sidewalk, blocking the drive-through area. Hintz questioned whether the drive-through was city property or privately owned. After review, it was determined that the drive-through is part of 220 Broad Street and employees may park there. Staff will investigate the placement of the picnic tables and fence and bring the issues back to the Health and Safety Committee. b. 244 Elm Street Discussion was held regarding the condition of 244 Elm Street, following complaints from neighbors. Staff requested directions regarding the Committee’s first course of action. A sign is posted on the front door with a phone number that goes to the bank. A neighbor contacted the bank in Pennsylvania to inquire about the upkeep of the property and was told that there is a work order in place. The committee expressed concern regarding the condition of the property, including but not limited to: a tarp on the roof due to the fire that happened, the water having been shut off two years ago, the overgrown brush, unkempt trees, the screen door on the back of the house falling off, and broken windows. The Committee recommended that staff send letters requiring a building inspection to verify the condition of the home. There was no motion on this item as it was for informational purposes only. 7. Adjournment: Committee Member Ruona made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Committee Member Otwell. Motion passed unanimously (3-to-0); meeting adjourned at 5:48 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Rashel Temmers Rashel Temmers City Clerk To: Health and Safety Committee From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator Date: July 7, 2026 Subject: City Code 435-9 Discussion Background On June 19, 2026, the City received a complaint from a resident regarding construction activity occurring at The Bluffs development. According to the resident, heavy equipment had begun operating before 7:00 a.m., which is not allowed per the City’s noise ordinance 435-9. City staff contacted the contractor regarding the complaint and advised that construction activity may not begin before 7:00 a.m. The development team was also notified of the applicable start time. Staff indicated that the early work was not authorized and that the contractor would be expected to comply with the City’s ordinance going forward. In addition to requesting enforcement of the existing 7:00 a.m. start time, the resident asked the City to consider amending its noise ordinance to reduce the permitted end time for construction activity from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The resident stated that this change would provide nearby residents with 12 hours during which construction noise would be restricted while still allowing contractors a 12-hour period to complete construction activities. Discussion Construction projects are often subject to strict schedules, weather-related delays, contractual deadlines, and potential financial penalties for failing to complete work on time. Wisconsin’s limited construction season may also require contractors to work extended hours when weather and site conditions are favorable. The City has experienced these circumstances on several municipal projects, including the Locust Street, Elm Street, and Well No. 3 projects. Contractors occasionally need to work later in the day to maintain project schedules or recover from weather-related delays. During the past several years, staff has received complaints regarding contractors beginning work before the permitted 7:00 a.m. start time. Staff is not aware of similar complaints involving construction activity continuing later into the evening. Reducing the permitted construction period to 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. would limit contractors’ ability to respond to weather delays, complete time-sensitive work, or maintain project schedules. These limitations could potentially result in longer project durations or increased construction costs. Based on the request consider the following options: • Maintain the current permitted construction hours and direct staff to continue enforcing the existing 7:00 a.m. start time. • Recommend amending the ordinance to limit construction activity to 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. • Recommend establishing different construction hours for weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Currently the ordinance does not address weekends or holidays. • Establish an exception or permit process allowing the City Administrator, Police Chief, or another designated official to authorize work outside the permitted hours when justified by public safety, weather, scheduling, or emergency conditions. Recommendation Review the request and various options to determine how the City should proceed. Attachment 1.

To: Health and Safety Committee From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator Date: July 7, 2026 Subject: 117 Broad Street Background Dumpster Enclosure On December 13, 2021, Two Rivers Restaurant, located at 117 Broad Street, received approval to expand its business. As part of that approval, the Plan Commission required that all garbage, rubbish, and recycling containers be stored within a screened enclosure. Resolution 32-21 (attached) includes the following condition: Rubbish, garbage, and recycling containers must be stored within an enclosed fencing or structure that is screened from public view and shall be maintained to not cause odor or other public nuisance. Materials used to construct the enclosure must be constructed of materials consistent with buildings color. At the time of site plan approval, Two Rivers indicated that it planned to share a dumpster enclosure with Prescott Roadhouse on the neighboring property. However, that arrangement was never finalized, leaving Two Rivers without a location for its refuse and recycling containers. To accommodate the business, the City authorized placement of a dumpster enclosure within the Front Street right- of-way. This arrangement resulted in the loss of one public parking space. Since the enclosure was installed within the City's right-of-way, staff has experienced multiple issues with the enclosure being left open and trash being placed outside of it. After repeated attempts to resolve these issues through discussions and email correspondence with the owners, the City issued a formal letter on Figure 1. Dumpster Enclosure within City right-of-way. September 6, 2024, advising that the arrangement could be terminated if compliance did not improve. Handicap Ramp The site plan submitted in 2021 showed an accessible sidewalk extending along the front of the parking stalls on Front Street before terminating at a curb ramp located beyond the last parking stall (see attached 2021 rendering and site plan). However, during construction, the City's building inspector found that the ramp was instead being constructed to terminate directly into the middle of two existing parking stalls. This issue was discovered on the morning the concrete was scheduled to be poured. At that point, requiring the contractor to remove and reconstruct the forms would have resulted in significant additional cost and potentially delayed or jeopardized completion of the project. As a result, the City allowed the work to proceed as constructed. Figure 2. Two Rivers Handicap Ramp that terminates into two parking stalls. Discussion Staff is requesting direction from the Committee regarding the following items: Dumpster Enclosure – Two Rivers has requested permission from the Mayor to utilize a third dumpster during the summer months. Under City Code, any additional dumpster must also be screened and incorporated into an enclosure consistent with the existing structure. The Committee is asked to discuss whether it wishes to accommodate this request and, if so, whether it is willing to dedicate additional public right-of-way or remove additional parking spaces to facilitate the expanded enclosure. Handicap Ramp – Because the existing accessible ramp terminates within two parking stalls, the ramp becomes inaccessible whenever vehicles are parked in those spaces. The Committee is asked to discuss whether it would like to improve accessibility by removing one or two parking spaces adjacent to the ramp, or whether another solution should be pursued. Recommendation Discuss Dumpster Enclosure and Handicap Ramp and offer guidance on how the City should proceed with these matters. Attachment 1. Resolution 32-21 Approving the Two Rivers Expansion 2.

Structural Plans City of Prescott 800 Borner Street North • Prescott, Wisconsin • 715-262-5544 www.prescottwi.org Date: September 6th, 2024 Two Rivers Attention: David Grau 117 North Broad Street Prescott, WI 54021 Subject: Maintenance of Trash Enclosure Dear Mr. Grau, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an ongoing issue regarding the trash enclosure located at your restaurant, Two Rivers. Below is a picture of the trash enclosure on September 4, 2024. As you are aware, the City granted you permission in 2022 to construct this enclosure within the right-of-way due to the limited space available on your property for proper waste storage. This arrangement was made with the understanding that the enclosure would be properly maintained, and that the doors would remain closed to ensure a clean and aesthetically appealing environment. Unfortunately, we have observed that the doors to the trash enclosure have been consistently left open, resulting in an unsightly appearance at the site and surrounding area. This not only impacts the nearby businesses and residents but also reflects poorly on the City's overall appearance. We have previously been in contact with you about this issue on August 1, 2023. If this issue is not promptly addressed, the City may be forced to reconsider allowing the enclosure to remain in the right-of-way. Should this occur, Two Rivers will be required to find an alternative solution for storing its trash, which may involve relocating the enclosure to another part of your property or exploring other viable options. We kindly request that you take immediate action to ensure that the trash enclosure is properly maintained, trash is placed in the containers not in the surrounding vicinity and that the doors are closed after use. If you have any questions or need assistance in addressing this matter, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your cooperation in helping to ensure that downtown remains a well- maintained and pleasant area for all. Sincerely, Matthew J.

The City has issued numerous letters requesting that the property be cleaned up, along with two citations for failure to address the conditions. Although the owner and tenant have repeatedly indicated that they were working to resolve the issues, only limited progress has occurred. Materials and equipment have also extended beyond the property and onto neighboring land, City-owned property, and portions of the public right-of-way. In March 2025, the property owner and tenant were granted an extension through June 10, 2025. After the property remained substantially unchanged, the Health and Safety Committee reviewed the matter on July 14, 2025, and provided an additional deadline of September 1, 2025. City staff subsequently inspected the site and determined that materials remained on neighboring property and City-owned property. Because the property boundaries near the front and side of the site were difficult to identify, staff recommended completing a land survey before proceeding with additional enforcement. The Health and Safety Committee approved surveying the City-owned land adjacent to 1054 Wacota Street at its September 8, 2025 meeting. Discussion Cedar Corporation has now completed the land survey. The attached map of survey identifies the property lines, adjacent rights-of-way, existing buildings, and other relevant boundary information surrounding the property. With the property boundaries now established, staff can more accurately determine which materials, equipment, and other items are located on private property and which are encroaching upon City-owned property or the public right-of-way. The overall condition of the site remains relatively unchanged. The primary observable change is that several items located near the front of the property have been moved and stacked into piles. While this has consolidated some of the materials, the underlying property-maintenance concerns have not been resolved. Materials and equipment remain stored throughout the site, and the property has not been brought into compliance with the City’s prior notices and deadlines. The City Attorney previously advised that materials located on City-owned property or within the public right-of-way may be addressed under City Code § 506-8. Under § 506- 8D, the Chief of Police may provide written notice requiring the removal of the encroaching materials within 24 hours. If the materials are not removed, the City may arrange for their removal and assess the associated costs against the property as a special charge under § 506-8E. The completed survey provides the information necessary for staff to identify the materials located outside the private property boundaries. Staff can use the survey to conduct an updated site inspection, document the encroachments, and provide the owner and tenant with a final written notice identifying the specific items that must be removed.
