Committee of the Whole — Minutes

VILLAGE OF HORTONVILLE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AUGUST 6, 2026 MEETING MINUTES APPROVED AUGUST 20, 2026 President Jeanne Bellile called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. in the Community Center at 531 N. Nash St., Hortonville, Wisconsin. Trustees present: Therese Abitz, Dalton Davis, Carrie Lathrop, Jim Moeller, Jane Olk, Julie Arendt Vanden Heuvel Trustees excused: Officials/Staff present: Administrator Nathan Treadwell, Clerk-Treasurer Jane Booth, and Chief of Police Brian Bahr Discussion on E-Bikes and E-Scooters Chief of Police Brian Bahr said this is being talked about in many communities right now. There are three classifications of E-Bikes, E-Scooters are in their own class. Do we want to make people register these? Do we require helmets? Currently bicycles are prohibited on sidewalks. Do we want to change this? If we change, do we want to include e-bikes on sidewalks? Will we allow bicycles and e-bikes on the trail? Should we have a speed limit? Other municipalities do not allow e-bikes and scooters to be used on roadways with speed limits higher than 30 mph. Is this something we want to include? Violations, citation amount? This is typically a lower amount (i.e., no more than $50). Discussion ensued. Consensus was to bring this back to Public Safey Committee for further discussion. Adjourn Motion [Davis/Moeller] to adjourn. Unanimous voice vote, motion carried. The Committee adjourned at 6:00 p.m. Minutes submitted by Jane Booth, WCMC Clerk-Treasurer
