the outside border of the B, using the font and layout of "Black RIVER Falls" and the river
swirl under the word RIVER from the Deer in Trees logo and placing that under the "B" logo,
same as above without the river swirl, illustrating both concepts in black on white
backgrounds and in white on black background, illustrating both concepts in a
stacked/vertical layout with words under icon and in a horizontal layout with words to the right
of the icon, illustrating both concepts on: vehicle, T-shirt, polo (left chest), letterhead,
envelopes (#10), business cards, and pens. The Committee also discussed color options but
did not land on any specific color. There were thoughts on adding some color within the logo
(certain elements) or changing the color of the entire icon so as not to highlight any one
aspect of the logo and decided to leave the Skillings with the latitude to be creative.
3. The next meeting will be scheduled once updated concepts are available.
4. The meeting was adjourned at 2:58 pm.

CITY OF BLACK RIVER FALLS ORDINANCE NO. 897
AN ORDINANCE CREATING CHAPTER 21 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF BLACK
RIVER FALLS, JACKSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN RELATING TO SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY
The Common Council of the City of Black River Falls, Jackson County, Wisconsin do ordain as follows:
Section 1. CHAPTER 21 in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Black River Falls is hereby created to
read as follows:
CHAPTER 21
21.01 Title.
21.02 Recitals.
21.03 Purpose.
21.04 Definitions.
21.05 Residency restriction.
21.06 Residency restriction exceptions.
21.07 Safety zones.
21.08 Safety zone exceptions.
21.09 Original residency restriction.
21.10 Sale or rental of property for use by sex offenders.
21.11 Enforcement.
21.12 Petition for exemption and appeals.
21.01 Title.
This Ordinance shall be entitled the "Sex Offender Residency Ordinance."
21.02 Recitals.
The Wisconsin Statutes, including Chapters 940, 944, and 948 thereof, govern the punishment of individuals
who commit sex crimes. The Wisconsin Statutes also govern the release into the community of such
individuals. The city is responsible to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare and finds that sex
offenders have high recidivism rates that threaten the public health, safety, and welfare, especially that of
children.
The city council has reviewed findings in several studies related to recidivism and risk related to individuals
who have committed sex crimes. Those studies include the following:
• Center for Sex Offender Management Fact Sheet: What You Need to Know About Sex Offenders. This fact
sheet provided information about sex offender recidivism, including that it is estimated that one in every five
girls and one in every seven boys are sexually abused by the time they reach adulthood; that one in six adult
women and one in 33 adult men experience an attempted or completed sexual assault; that approximately 67
percent of all victims of reported sexual assaults are under age 18 and more than half are under age 12; and
that about 12 to 24 percent of sex offenders will re-offend.
Page 1 of 9
• U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics—Recidivism of Sex Offenders Released from Prison
in 1994. This study found that compared to non-sex offenders released form state prisons, released sex
offenders were four times more likely to be re-arrested for a sex crime.
• Correctional Service Canada—Forum on Corrections Research. This study of 178 sex offenders released
from a maximum-security psychiatric facility found that after an average follow-up of 59 months, 27.5 percent
of sex offenders in the study sexually recidivated and 40.4 percent of the sex offenders were arrested,
convicted, or returned to a psychiatric facility for a violent offence.
• California Research Bureau—The Impact of Residency Restrictions on Sex Offenders and Correctional
Management: A Literature Review. This study found that at the time it was written 22 states had enacted some
form of residency restriction that prohibits sex offenders from living within a certain distance of schools,
daycare centers, or places where children congregate. The least restrictive among them was 500 feet, but
distances from 1,000 to 2,500 feet were common.
• National Bureau of Economic Research —There Goes the Neighborhood? Estimates of the Impact of Crime
Risk on Property Values from Megan's Laws. This study found that the majority of both violent and non-violent
offenses take place less than one mile from victims' homes. It also found that prices of homes near sex
offenders declined considerably following an offender's arrival in the neighborhood.
• An Evaluation of Sex Offender Residency Restrictions in Michigan and Missouri . This study found that while
in Michigan, residency restrictions led to a slight increase in recidivism, in Missouri, the reconviction rate
declined.
• Whereas the Common Council acknowledges that literature on sex offender recidivism, sex offender
desistance, and sex offender residency restrictions contains studies which report varying effectiveness of
certain strategies. The Common Council intends to use these strategies and studies to best create a regulatory
framework which protects the children of the City of Black River Falls yet allows for a constructive and safe
assimilation of designated sex offenders into the community.
• The Common Council finds that the risk of recidivism decreases over time from the date of the last conviction,
especially in circumstances where offenders have community connections, goals, and employment. The
Common Council is also aware that absent a domicile clause, the city would have open doors for nonresident
sex offender residency when other communities have closed doors, inviting a substantial increase in child sex
offender placements, thereby increasing potential negative impacts on the health, safety, welfare, and
additional cost to the city and its residents. Studies show increased recidivism rates for offenders who
frequently move or do not have established community networks. These studies support maintaining a domicile
clause thereby limiting designated offenders with no ties to the community and increasing the likelihood that a
designated offender implements appropriate and existing community support while allowing the community to
remain intelligently attentive, aware, and provide adequate and appropriate intervention if needed.
• The Common Council further acknowledges difficulties and risks associated with designated offenders who
are left homeless if reasonable efforts and considerations are not made to enable said individuals to secure
proper housing, as long as the need to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public is prioritized.
• Accordingly, the Common Council has created this regulatory measure designed to protect the health and
safety of the children in the city against the threat posed by certain designated sex offenders. Sex offenders
who prey on children represent a substantial danger to victims, target a particularly vulnerable group within the
community who are less able to articulate or report abuse, and create a significant impact on law enforcement
time and community resources to investigate abuses and mitigate risks. This chapter is also intended to
demonstrate the city's resolute goal of protecting children in areas of potential vulnerability and impart the
community's confidence by demonstrating safe, productive, and law-abiding behavior while residing within the
city. It is the intent of the Common Council that this regulatory scheme is civil and nonpunitive to serve the
Page 2 of 9
city's compelling interest to promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and welfare of all citizens of the
city.
Based on the above studies and other information presented to the Common Council, the Council determines
that the restrictions set forth in this section serve the purpose of protecting the public health, safety, and
welfare from the risk of recidivism of sex offenders. The Council further determines that the intent and effect of
this article is not to banish sex offenders from residing within the city, and careful attention has been given to
ensure that there are ample locations for sex offenders to reside within the city in compliance with the
requirements of this article.
The Council further determines that the opportunity for individualized consideration of the risks and benefits of
residency restrictions on a case-by-case basis is the best approach to achieve the purposes of this article and,
to that end, this article establishes an "exemption" process by which a sex offender may seek an exemption
from its residency restrictions by petition, which is further covered by an appeals process.
21.03 Purpose.
The purpose of this article is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare in the City by regulating the
residency of sex offenders.

21.12 Petition for exemption.
(a) Procedure. A designated offender may request an exemption from this chapter by submitting a written
request for exemption, including any pertinent rationale for an exemption, to the Black River Falls Police
Department prior to establishing a residence that would be in violation of this chapter or within 30 days after
notification that the designated offender is in violation of this chapter. The Chief of Police or his/her designee
shall conduct a review of the request for an exemption using any pertinent information and the criteria set forth
in this Chapter. The Chief of Police or his/her designee shall approve an exemption, approve an exemption
subject to necessary conditions (hereafter "conditional exemption"), or deny the request. The Chief of Police or
his/her designee shall issue the decision within 30 days of receiving the request for exemption and shall
provide a written copy of that decision to the designated offender, City Administrator, and the city attorney's
office. Any request for an exemption which has not been approved, approved for a conditional exemption, or
denied by the Chief of Police or his/her designee within 30 days of the request shall be deemed to be denied
for the purpose of this chapter.
(b) The decision by the Chief of Police or his/her designee may be appealed by the designated offender within
30 days by submitting a written appeal to the City's Administrative Review Appeals Board as established under
Chapter 6 of the City of Black River Falls Code of Ordinances (hereafter "the board") via the City
Administrator's office. The board shall hold a hearing on each appeal within thirty (30) days of the City
Administrator's actual receipt of the written appeal, during which the board may review any pertinent
information and may accept oral and written statements from any person.
(c) The Chief of Police or his/her designee and/or the board shall base their decision upon any factors related
to the city's interest in promoting, protecting, and improving the health, safety, and welfare of the community,
including, but not limited to:
(1) The nature of the predicate offense causing the appellant to be a designated offender.
(2) Police reports related to the predicate offense if available.
(3) Proximity of the requested residence to the victim.
(4) The age of the offense, offender, and victim.
(5) Recommendation of the probation or parole officer, if one exists.
(6) Recommendation of the police department.
(7) Recommendation of any treatment practitioner.
(8) Proposals for safety measures and assurances by the designated offender.
(9) Conditions to be placed on any exception or variance from the requirements of this
chapter.
(10) Support systems in place by the designated offender.
(11) Who the designated offender will be or is living with at the prohibited location.
(12) Statements of the surrounding community or victim.
(13) Treatment, sobriety, or rehabilitative measures taken by the designated offender.
(14) The designated offender's current employment or social activities.
(15) The designated offender's criminal history.
(16) Whether the designated offender meets any of the exceptions listed in this Chapter.
Page 7 of 9
(d) The board shall issue a decision by a majority vote. The board may decide to deny an exemption, issue an
exemption, or issue a conditional exemption. A written copy of the decision shall be provided to the designated
offender in person or by first-class mail at the designated offender's last-known address. A designated offender
must consent to the terms of the conditional exemption for the conditional exemption to be valid and must
demonstrate acceptance of the terms of the conditional exemption by signing and dating a copy of the board's
decision and conditions. The designated offender must provide a copy of the signed conditional exemption to
the City Administrator's office and the City of Black River Falls Police Department. The designated offender will
have fourteen (14) days from the date the written conditional exemption is issued to accept and return a signed
copy to the appropriate locations, or the conditional exemption will be deemed as void and the appeal denied
by the board. A designated offender need not sign an exemption that has been denied by the board or an
exemption approved without any necessary conditions by the board.
(e) A conditional exemption may include, but is not limited to, the following terms:
(1) Curfew restrictions.
(2) Cohabitant restrictions or requirements.
(3) Sobriety restrictions.
(4) Conduct restrictions.
(5) Residency restrictions.
(f) If an exemption or conditional exemption is granted by the Chief of Police or his/her designee or the board,
that exemption will only apply to the specific designated offender who had applied for the exemption at the
requested residence and shall not be transferable to any other or to any other location.
(g) An exemption expires when the designated offender who was granted said exemption changes his/her
domicile and/or changes his or her residence, whether within the city or outside the city.
(h) An exemption or conditional exemption issued by the Chief of Police or his/her designee or the board may
be revoked-by the Chief of Police or his/her designee if the designated offender is found to have violated the
conditions or there is probable cause to believe the designated offender has committed (an) additional act(s),
which had occurred either before or after the exemption or conditional exemption was issued, that would cause
a person to be classified as a designated offender. The Chief of Police or his/her designee shall provide written
notice to the designated offender that the exemption or conditional exemption has been revoked. This notice
shall be deemed properly delivered if sent by either first class mail to the designated offender's last known
address or if delivered in person to the designated offender's last known address. If the designated offender
cannot be located, the notice shall be deemed to be properly delivered if a copy is left at the designated
offender's address which had been exempted in the presence of some competent member of the family at
least fourteen (14) years of age or a competent adult currently residing there. If notice cannot be so served, it
may be served by publishing a Class I notice. The revocation of an exemption may be appealed to the board
pursuant to the above procedure.
(i) For the purposes of this chapter, pursuant to Section 68.16, Wisconsin Statutes, the City of Black River Falls
is specifically electing not to be governed by Chapter 68, Wisconsin Statutes. As such, appeals under this
Chapter shall be heard by the Administrative Review Appeals Board established under Chapter 6 of the City of
Black River Falls Code of Ordinances, but the process of such appeals shall be governed by this Section 21.12
rather than as may be set forth in the aforementioned Chapter 6, as allowed by section 6.06 thereunder.
(j) If the board denies the request for exemption or upholds a revocation of exemption or conditional
exemption, the designated offender may appeal the decision within thirty (30) days to the circuit court.
Page 8 of 9
(k) The City Administrator shall approve official forms for (i) requests for exemption, and (ii) appeals to the
City's Administrative Review Appeals Board.
Section 2. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed severable, and it is expressly
declared that the City would have passed the other provisions of this ordinance irrespective of whether or not
one or more provisions may be declared invalid. If any provision of this ordinance or the application to any
person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance and the application of such provisions to
other persons and/or circumstances shall not be deemed affected.
Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance becomes effective upon passage and publication as required
by law.

1.07 Policy Proposal
Overview
The Together for Jackson County Kids Coalition is proposing the addition of
definitions for smoking and electronic smoking devices to the current city ordinance
for Smoke-Free Air. This action will close an enforcement gap.
The Problem
Current city policy for indoor Smoke-Free air does not include language around
vaping or e-cigarettes leaving that unenforceable. As nicotine products evolve, our
policies must evolve too.
E-cigarettes and vaping devices may look different from traditional tobacco, but they
still pose serious health risks-especially when used indoors or around others.
Reports show that the aerosol from e-cigarettes contains harmful chemicals like
nicotine, ultrafine particles, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds. This is
not simply water vapor. It is an aerosol that lingers in the air, affecting everyone
nearby.
Proposed Definitions
Replace definition 15 of "Smoking":
"Smoking" means inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted or heated,
cigar, cigarette, or pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco, nicotine, or plant
product intended for inhalation, including hookah and THC, whether natural or
synthetic. "Smoking" also includes the use of an electronic smoking device.
Add definition:
"Electronic smoking device" means any device that may be used to deliver any
aerosolized or vaporized substance to the person inhaling from the device,
including, but not limited to, an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, vape pen, or e-hookah.
Youth Impact
The most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) found that 16% of Jackson
County High schoolers currently vape and 36% have ever tried vaping in their
lifetime.
Vaping is now the most commonly used tobacco product among middle and high
school students. When youth see vaping in public places, it reinforces the idea that
it is normal and harmless.
Other Examples
Other communities across the state have already taken this step, recognizing that
vaping indoors poses many of the same risks and challenges as smoking.
Many counties and municipalities surrounding Black River Falls have strengthened
their ordinance, including the City of Eau Claire, City of Altoona, Onalaska, La
Crosse County, and Marshfield.
This is also in line with ordinance 11.06 prohibiting smoking and vaping in the All-
Abilities Park.

Jackson County Voices
Together for Jackson County Kids launched a youth-led campaign against vaping at the
2025 County Fair and school district open houses. The "Be Original" campaign included an
opportunity for respondents to share how vaping or nicotine impacts their lives. Here are a
few of the responses we received:
"I personally do not do either vaping or use nicotine products but being around family can
be cumbersome. I find myself avoiding them due to the smell of the products or the second
hand effects It can have on my own health. People are getting away using nicotine products
in public where smoking years ago was banned. It's become too accepted in buildings. If
you don't smoke a cigarette in a building, you shouldn't vape." -Age 29
"Vape has not had a large impact on my life because I used to have a best friend who got
into it. It started with vaping and ended with drug addiction. I miss my old friend." -Age 15
"It made me very sad and impacted my friendships and relationships with people." -Age 15
"My dad vapes nearly everywhere. I don't get to see him a lot, but when I do he's often
more focused on hitting his vape then spending time with me and my brother." -Age 16
"It hasn't affected me however my mom and dad became addicted and spent a lot of
money." - Age 17
"It ruined my friendships, my sports careers and made me depressed so I quit." - Age 19
