A. DISCUSSION AND ACTION – Recodification of the Municipal Code (Page 46)
VILLAGE BOARD AGENDA (REGULAR) – FEBRUARY 17TH 2026 - Page 2 of 2
During the course of amending the Munici pal Code over the past several years, numerous errors have been uncovered.
There is no record that any substantive review and reform of the Municipal Code has taken place since it was initially created
more than twenty (20) years ago. Staff is proposing a complete internal recodification, which will take place over the next
several months, and, perhaps, into 2027. Following that internal recodification, a decision can be made on whether to turn
the finished product over to E-Code for work in 2027, which would have to be included in that year’s budget.
B. DISCUSSION AND ACTION – Contract with Cellcom (Page 63)
Under this proposed contract, Cellcom will provide cell phone and other related services to the Village for the next three (3)
years at a lower cost than what the Village current pays for those services.

admin) were logged as well as 1,670 miles. 2024 numbers were 71 and 982
respectively. Total cost did come down from 2024 however that is attributed to the

QUARTERLY QUARTERLY
REPORT
OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2025
PAGE 15
Introduction
January 19 , 2026th
Village of Hobart Board - Town of Lawrence Board - Police Commission
RE: Quarterly Report - October - December 2025 (4 Quarter)th
Dear Members:
The fourth quarter of the year reflected the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department’s continued commitment to
service, professionalism, and strong community partnerships. Throughout October, the department took part in
multiple awareness initiatives, recognizing both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Officers proudly displayed pink patches and support ribbons as a visible reminder of our
solidarity with survivors and our commitment to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community.
In October, the department also received proceeds from the annual Public Safety Golf Outing, a significant
community-supported event benefiting both the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department and Hobart Fire
Department. The success of this event underscores the strong relationship we share with our residents and local
partners.
October was also a personally humbling month, as I was honored to be recognized by Representative Joy
Goeben as the 2025 First Responder of the Year for the 5th Assembly District in Madison. This recognition
reflects not just individual service, but the professionalism, dedication, and support of the entire Hobart-
Lawrence Police Department and our public safety partners.
In November, the department paused to honor Veterans Day, recognizing both those who have served our nation
and the veterans within our own ranks. We proudly acknowledged Chief Michael Renkas (USMC), Lieutenant
Randy Radloff (Army), Officer Jon Radke (USMC), and Officer Brandon Miller (USMC), whose continued service
exemplifies duty, sacrifice, and leadership.
November also brought a moment of reflection and loss with the passing of Retired K9 Bax, HLPD’s first K9
officer. Bax’s service from 2016–2023 left a lasting legacy through countless successful apprehensions,
enhanced officer safety, and meaningful contributions to our communities. He remains an important part of our
department’s history.
The holiday season highlighted the department’s strong emphasis on community engagement and compassion.
Officers participated in several events, including Police Lights of Christmas, which provided gift cards to families
in need across Wisconsin, and Shop with a Cop, where officers spent meaningful time with local children creating
positive memories during the holiday season. These efforts were made possible through generous community

Quarterly Report - 4 Quarter 2025th
PAGE 16
Introduction
The fourth quarter also provided an opportunity to recognize exceptional service and professional growth within
the department. Multiple officers were honored by the Town and Village Boards for distinguished service, life-
saving actions, and achievements under our newly launched Career Development Program. These recognitions
reflect the department’s continued focus on accountability, high standards, and professional development.
Additionally, we strengthened our relationship with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) by engaging
with students in the LEAD program, demonstrating the use of our drone program and K9 team while supporting
the development of the next generation of law enforcement professionals.
Overall, the final quarter of the year showcased the dedication of our personnel, the strength of our community
partnerships, and the values that guide the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department. I am proud of the
professionalism, compassion, and service displayed by our members as we closed out the year and continue
moving forward together.
Respectfully,
Michael Renkas
Chief of Police

To ensure the department has the proper resources necessary for the delivery of high
quality police services to the residents of both Hobart and Lawrence, we carefully analyze
a variety of workload factors for planning purposes.
This includes tracking and reviewing
the number of police incidents as well as when they are occurring. Calls for service can be
initiated by a variety of means to include, but not limited to, officer observed, being
dispatched by 911, approached in person, email correspondence, and/or social media
notifications. Calls for service can vary in nature, severity, and level of resources needed
to address the issue.

Overview
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department generated 114 reports, reflecting a steady demand for
service across both the village and town. Activity during this period continued to emphasize core law enforcement responsibilities
including domestic violence response, property crime investigation, and community caretaking functions.
Incident Trends and Activity
Domestic-Related Incidents and Disturbances
Domestic disturbances remained a significant portion of calls for service during the quarter. Officers responded to numerous
incidents involving disorderly conduct, battery, strangulation/suffocation, criminal damage to property, and violations of court
orders. Several cases resulted in custodial arrests and referrals to the District Attorney’s Office, underscoring the department’s
continued focus on victim safety, accountability, and evidence-based investigations.
Theft, Fraud, and Property Crimes
Property-related offenses were prevalent throughout the quarter and included thefts from residences and vehicles, package
thefts, burglary, and the recovery of stolen property. Fraud and financial exploitation cases—many involving online scams, identity
theft, and cryptocurrency-related losses—continued to impact residents, particularly vulnerable and elderly victims.
Investigations included coordination with financial institutions, documentation for prosecution, and follow-up to prevent further
victimization.
Drug Activity and Weapons-Related Incidents
Several cases involved illegal drug possession, probation violations, and the seizure of controlled substances for evidence or
destruction. In some instances, drug-related activity coincided with weapons violations or other criminal behavior, highlighting
the interconnected nature of these offenses and the importance of proactive enforcement.
Sensitive Crimes and Child Protection
Investigators handled a number of sensitive cases including child abuse reports, sexual assault investigations, and ICAC-related
tips involving potential online exploitation. These cases required coordination with Child Protective Services, medical
professionals, and prosecutorial partners, and were handled with a focus on thorough investigation and victim-centered
practices.
Community Safety and Quality-of-Life Calls
Officers also responded to a wide range of community-focused calls such as welfare checks, mental health concerns, animal
complaints and bites, medical assists, unattended deaths, and suspicious situations. These incidents reflect the department’s
broader role in community caretaking, problem-solving, and compassionate service beyond traditional enforcement actions.
Key Takeaways
Calls for service in Q4 reflected consistent and diverse demands on personnel.
Domestic violence and disturbance calls continued to require significant officer time and investigative resources.
Fraud and financial crimes remain an area of growing concern, particularly involving digital platforms.
The department maintained a strong focus on victim safety, child protection, and community well-being.
Overall, fourth quarter activity demonstrates the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department’s continued commitment to professional
policing, accountability, and service to the community during a period of sustained operational demand.

ACTIVITY
The administrative division of the police department consists of the Chief of
Police, Captain, Administrative Assistant, and a part-time records clerk.
Managing the department budget, schedule, officer training, and writing policies
and procedures are just a few of the tasks that the Chief of Police and Captain
conduct.
Our Administrative Assistant and records clerk are typically our first point of
contact with our citizens either in the lobby or by phone. Their primary tasks
include fulfilling records request, ensuring quality reports, and distributing reports
as needed. Abiding to State of Wisconsin records laws, we disperse reports to
those who request copies. These again are just a few of the tasks that are
required of them.

USE OF FORCE
COMPLAINTS
Complaints Received
1
HLPD is committed to transparency and accountability while improving
community confidence. Tracking and reporting complaints is a measure to
meet those goals.
This chart will track any allegation of serious and/or minor misconduct that is
reported against any employee - either civilian or sworn - reported from
individual(s) outside the police department.
A complaint was reviewed during the fourth quarter that resulted in the
exoneration of the employee involved after allegations were reported that an
officer spoke with several juveniles without Child Protective Services (CPS)
present concerning an incident that occurred at their residence. A
comprehensive review of available information found that the officer acted in
accordance with policy and displayed professionalism throughout the
incident. The investigation confirmed that CPS was present during all contact
and what was reported was not accurate.
The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public
and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and
varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their legitimate
duties.
The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department recognizes and respects the value of all human
life and dignity without prejudice to anyone. Vesting officers with the authority to use reasonable
force and to protect the public welfare requires monitoring, evaluation, and a careful balancing of
all interests. Our Use of Force Policy is available online - https://www.hobart-wi.org/police-
resources.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Village Board
FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator
RE: Recodification of the Hobart Municipal Code
DATE: February 17, 2026
BACKGROUND
During the course of amending the M unicipal Code over the past severa l years, numerous errors have been
uncovered. There is no record that any substantive review and reform of the Municipal Code has taken place since
it was initially created more than twent y (20) years ago. Job titles and descri ptions have been modified, changed,
or, in some cases, eliminated; cross references to Stat e Statute and other sections of the Code have changed or
been eliminated; and some sections of the Code are not applicable to the current structur e of the Village
government. Last year, Village staff obtained a quote from E-Code to do a recodification, and it was approximately
$13,000 (see attachment). In addition, there would be legal expenses as part of the process. In an effort to reduce
costs, staff is proposing a complete internal recodification, which will take place over the next several months, and,
perhaps, into 2027. Following that internal recodification, a decision can be made on whether to turn the finished
product over to E-Code for work in 2027, which would have to be included in that year’s budget.
PROPOSED PROCESS
Staff will review each section of t he Code as outlined below and make prop osed modifications for the Board to
review and take action on. Some sections of the Code will be assigned to the various committees and commissions
of the Village for review and recommendations, similar to what was done last year by the Parks and Recreation
Commission with Chapter 215 (Parks and Recreation Areas) . Chapters in bold have been recently modified and
may not need to review.

Executive Summary
A thorough review of your request has given us a better understanding of your unique needs and
helped us determine ways that we can partner with you to make the Village of Hobart’s Code a
more useful and effective resource for your community. The executive summary below serves as
an overview for building a collaborative codification solution that can help the Village achieve its
goals.
Situation Analysis
The Village of Hobart’s Code was originally codified in 2014 and was last updated in 2024.
However, the Code may contain inconsistencies, errors and outdated information that could
potentially affect the Code's enforceability and alignment with relevant Wisconsin statutes.
It is our understanding that the Village would like a complete recodification, including a
comprehensive review and update of the 2014 Code, to include all legislation of a general and
permanent nature to Ordinance No. 2025-06. This process would ensure that legislation is up-to-
date and is in line with Wisconsin statutes and the current needs of your constituents, in addition to
making the overall Code consistent in organization, format, style, and content.
The Village would also like to provide access to the Code and make it easier for constituents and
staff to find information by implementing a fully searchable online version of its Code, housed on
our unparalleled eCode360® platform.
Our Solution
Our comprehensive codification solution for Hobart includes:
> Create an Updated Code
General Code® will provide the Village with an updated Code that is clear and easy for
your community to access and use.
> An Editorial and Legal Analysis
This process will identify conflicts, redundancies and inconsistencies in the Code and
enable you to incorporate the necessary revisions to ensure that your Code is enforceable
and fully complies with Wisconsin statutes.
> Update your online Code housed on our innovative eCode360 platform
Once your new Code is ready, we will update your eCode360 site to make it available
online to your community and staff.
> 2 custom printed Code books, with an option for additional printed volumes
We will provide you with 2 fully customized print copies of your new Code, with additional
copies as requested.
PAGE 50
Solution Benefits
A comprehensive codification solution from General Code will:
1. Deliver a Code that is always accessible to the public and up-to-date
2. Help you keep Hobart’s Code enforceable
3. Improve transparency with constituents
4. Save Hobart’s staff time and resources by empowering constituents to find Code
information independently
Who Benefits?
1. Constituents—Citizens will be able to find and use laws in a comprehensive, up-to-date
and understandable format.
2. Staff—All staff members will be able to gather the information they need to answer
questions from both citizens and other municipal officials.
3. Planners/Developers—Your new Code will provide a clear view of existing regulations
and make it easier to determine the impact of proposed changes and amendments on
development and growth initiatives.
4. Attorneys—Legal staff can draft and amend legislation more efficiently by using
eCode360 to research similar laws that other communities have passed.
Hobart’s Investment
The price of General Code’s recommended solution will be $12,985.
A detailed breakdown of the investment and available options can be found in the Investment
Details and Options section on page 9.
PAGE 51
General Code’s Approach to Codification
Codification Powered by Code Review brings your code project to life during the milestones of your
project. Code Review is a revolutionary Code review platform, shared interactively between the
General Code project team and your review committee, that guides you through the stages of your
Codification project.
Code Review, a secure, searchable platform, gives your codification stakeholders the ability to
manage milestones, share and assign questions, and expedite the decision-making process. With
digital access to all your relevant project documentation throughout the project, including
the analysis, drafts and reference documents, our technology eliminates the need for paper
reports, printed legal memorandums or Legal Workbooks.
Codification Powered by Code Review is a collaborative process that will guide you through each
project stage. We will prepare and evaluate your legislation, prepare the Editorial and Legal
Analysis, and create your Digital Manuscript, so that you can easily access the project documents
and make decisions.
This streamlined process allows users to collaborate, annotate, print and share comments among
all committee members, while staying connected with your General Code Editor. It also will
provide, as the project moves forward, a record or memorandum of the changes to be made, as
users agree upon and make those decisions.
So how does it work?
When the Digital Manuscript and Editorial and Legal Analysis are ready for review, General Code
will activate your Code Review site and provide your review committee with a secure link to the
online version of your in-process Code. We will facilitate a dedicated e-Learning workshop for your
municipal officials, led by our General Code training specialist, to guide you through the features
and functionality of the platform. Codification Powered by Code Review will include these
supporting documents as the project progresses through the codification stages:
> Code Project Contract
> Code Project Guidelines
> Digital Manuscript
> Editorial and Legal Analysis
> Record of any changes to be made
> Code Adoption Ordinance
> Disposition List
> Digital Drafts of your Code
Upon completion of the codification project and adoption of your new Code, the Code will
seamlessly transition from the private Code Review platform to your public eCode360 site and will
house the adopted version of your Code, which is available to the public.
PAGE 52
The General Code Recommended Solution and Process
Below is an outline of the process for completing your recodification project.
Project Launch
General Code will consult with Hobart’s designated contact person to review the project generally
and to clarify any initial questions for both General Code and the Village. To begin the project, the
Village and General Code shall confirm the source materials for the project. For more detail, see
the source materials listed on page 8.
Editorial and Legal Analysis with Manuscript
The Village’s existing Code will be used as the Manuscript for the project. The Code will be
supplemented just prior to preparation of the Editorial and Legal Analysis in order to optimize the
Village’s review of the Code, and also so that General Code is reviewing the most up-to-date
material.
To accompany your updated Code, we will prepare an Editorial and Legal Analysis for your review.
Your project team will do a thorough review and analysis of your legislation and provide specific
recommendations and input for improvement. The Analysis will be presented in a progressive
format with option sets to guide the user in the decision-making process. Village officials, including
the Village Attorney, will have the final decision-making authority for the resolution of any and all
issues. As part of this Analysis, a proposed reorganization of the Code may be provided for review
and approval by the Village if deemed appropriate. (Please note that if reorganization and
renumbering is authorized by the Village, this work shall occur at the Draft stage of the project.)
The Editorial and Legal Analysis will include the following:
> Identification of duplications, conflicts and inconsistencies between or within various
sections of the Code
> Identification of duplications, conflicts and inconsistencies with Wisconsin statutes
> Any practical recommendations to make your legislation more enforceable
> Suggestions regarding fines, fees and penalties
> Suggestions on ways to modernize your legislation
Your Responsibilities
The Village will review the Editorial and Legal Analysis and make the final decisions on any
changes that are deemed necessary. All final decisions regarding the sufficiency of the legislation
which is to be codified, and any changes to be made to said legislation, shall be the province of the
Village officials and the Village Attorney.
A review period is set by the performance schedule. We stress the importance of staying within the
allotted time period to avoid disruptions in the production process and delays in the delivery of the
Code.
Code Supplement
In order to minimize the timeframe during which the Village’s Code is out-of-date prior to
publication, the Code will be supplemented just prior to preparation of the Draft. Once the Draft is
PAGE 53
prepared, supplementation of the prior Code shall be discontinued until Code publication is
complete.
Final Editing of the Manuscript and Submission of the Draft
Once the Editorial and Legal Analysis is returned, an editor will begin the final editing process.
During this time, we will:
> Edit the text to incorporate any revisions and additions previously approved in the Editorial
and Legal Analysis phase
> Update the Table of Contents listing all chapters and articles included in the Code, as
applicable
> Include cross-references and Editor's Notes, as required, and add historical notations
indicating the source and date of adoption of each enactment
> Proofread all copy to correct typographical and spelling errors
General Code will submit a Draft of the Code for final review by the Village. With the submission of
the Draft, the editorial work on your project will be completed; therefore, if the Village requires any
additional changes, further charges will apply.
Prepare Final Deliverables
Upon approval to proceed with the publication of your Code, we will prepare the following final
deliverables:
> A Comprehensive Index
We will provide you with an index that is designed to let you quickly and easily locate
information in the Code.
> A Disposition List
Your Code will include a Disposition List that sets forth—in chronological order—the
subject matter, date of adoption and disposition of each item of new legislation reviewed
with the project. It will also indicate whether those items are included in or omitted from
the Code.
> Code Adoption Legislation
We will prepare adoption legislation for the proposed Code and give it to the Village
Attorney for review and enactment by the governing body. The Code should be adopted
as soon as possible to formally enact the many revisions authorized by the Village and
establish the Code as the permanent enforceable system of law in the Village. If the Code
adoption legislation is enacted and returned to us within 90 days of submission, we will
include this material in the Code free of charge. Once the Code is adopted, it can be
amended directly to change, add or delete material.
Update your online Code housed on eCode360
Once the project has been completed, we will update the Village’s eCode360 with the new version
of the Village’s Code.
PAGE 54
Publish a Custom Printed Code
General Code will publish 2 printed copies of your Code in an 8 ½-by-11-inch page size, using 11-
point Times New Roman font in a single-column format on 100% recycled paper.
Provide Ongoing Code Maintenance
The codification process is not truly over when your new Code is delivered. Your community will
change and grow, and ultimately, your Code will evolve with it. In order to maintain your Code as
an accurate and reliable resource, it is important that the Village keeps the Code up-to-date after
initial publication. General Code’s supplementation services are designed to make the process
easy, fast and accurate.

Project Materials
Source Materials
General Code will use the following source materials for the codification project:
> A copy of the Village’s 2014 Code, as updated to Ordinance No. 2024-09
> Uncodified legislation adopted from Ordinance No. 2025-01 to Ordinance No. 2025-06
Project Scope
This proposal and the scope of this project consider only the legislation submitted for review as
listed above. The processing, review, and inclusion of any materials not submitted are outside the
project scope as proposed and therefore may be subject to additional charges. We request that
Hobart set up a process to routinely send any new legislation upon adoption. This additional
legislation will be included in the Code up to the point where the editorial work has been completed
and will be subject to an additional charge at the end of the project.
Special Considerations
General Code has identified the following specific special considerations that will be addressed by
our staff as the project progresses:
> Please note that legislation currently being added to the Code as Supplement No. 20 as
of the date of this proposal, will be included in the scope of this project. This proposal is
contingent on the prior authorization and completion of the supplementation project, which
is the subject of a separate proposal.
> Please note that this proposal provides for the print publication of the new Code,
excluding binders. The Village will reuse its existing General Code binders.

Optional Components
Estimated Price to Implement Gender-Neutral Language in Code $706
A General Code Editor will assess your goals and work with you to develop a strategy to make
your Code language gender neutral and more inclusive. Typical solutions include direct pronoun
replacement. Solutions that are more complex, such as an analysis of gendered terms in your
Code or the re-writing of Code text to eliminate the use of pronouns, may be deemed outside of the
scope of this project. An estimate for any additional charges will be provided upon request.
TrackBack $600
Annual Maintenance: $350 (billed with annual eCode360 maintenance fee) and $250 onetime
setup fee
As a new ordinance is codified and added to your code, TrackBack automatically embeds links in
the related code section so you can easily reference the original ordinance — no more searching
though old files. Simply click the link and the original ordinance is immediately available to view.
TrackBack is an excellent way to help clarify or confirm aspects of a particular law, help solve
disputes or simply serve as a starting point for updating ordinances. This service begins with New
Ordinances provided to General Code going forward. It does not include any Ordinances going
back in time.
TrackBack Law Ledger Build $532 (One time fee)
TrackBack Law Ledger allows you to link your previously codified ordinances to the Code’s history
notes and other Code references. In addition, pdf copies of the ordinances are stored on the
PAGE 57
eCode360 website next to the Code in chronological order. The Law Ledger build price includes 82
ordinances from 2014-2024 that amend the Code. An option to include non-Code material (NCM)
ordinances is also provided.
Please note: Code books in addition to the 2 Code books included in the Codification Project Price
may be ordered through the publication date of your Code. Pricing is available upon request.
Ongoing Services
Supplementation
Charges for supplementation during the phases of the project are outside the scope of work and
the base price of the project. Therefore, the Village should budget separately for ongoing
supplementation during the recodification project. General Code will also continue providing
supplementation services after completion of the project.

Additional Online Services
MapLink™ powered by ZoningHub™
MapLink is a Visual Zoning service that makes it easier for business and property owners,
planners, developers, and constituents to find the information they need in your community’s
Zoning ordinance by presenting Zoning Code data from eCode360 in an interactive online map.
MapLink users can click on a map to view details about permitted uses and answer questions such
as, “Where can I open my business?” and “What can I do with my property?” With just a few clicks,
users interested in economic development can view dimensional requirements, allowable uses,
and zoning districts, zoom to an individual parcel to examine its requirements, or search for
properties based on land use. By making it easier for users to find the information they need for
their development projects, they are more likely to open their businesses in the Village, which can
help grow your community.
MapLink uses your municipality’s existing GIS map information and seamlessly presents data from
eCode360, so your interactive map clearly and accurately displays your essential Zoning elements.
When a Code supplement including a Zoning change is completed and posted to eCode360, your
Code data is simultaneously updated in MapLink, ensuring that users are always working with the
most accurate requirements.
eCode360 Enhanced Graphics™
eCode360 Enhanced Graphics can help drive economic development in your community by
presenting an online Zoning Code that is clear, easy to understand and always up-to-date.
Enhanced Graphics offers zoning specific features like integrated tables that allow users to view
tables in context, multi-column layout options to accommodate natural image placement,
searchable image captions, color coding to create easier navigation, and high-quality graphics.
Every community is unique, so we also offer custom solutions tailored to suit your community’s
specific needs.
Custom I-Codes
Until now, no single publication has included both ICC I-Code building regulations and local
amendments in an integrated form. Our solution will create a single central repository for your
adopted Building Code regulations that is intuitive, searchable, and linked to your municipal Code.
This solution will eliminate the need to separately manage state adopted I-Codes and your local
amendments, and make your Building Code regulations available from anywhere at any time, even
if the Village only has one set of printed books.
Application Programming Interface
Application Programming Interfaces (API) make it possible for your Code in eCode360 to “talk” with
additional external systems to share information. General Code has APIs that deliver structured
Code information contained in eCode360 to external systems, including legislation drafting, parcel
management, municipal websites, enterprise content management (ECM), permitting, GIS-based
interactive maps, code enforcement, law enforcement, and more.
