Departmental Reports 1. Greenfield Public Library 2025 Annual Report. Mayor Neitzke said the Common Council doesn't have authority over the library, but they control its budget. Jennifer Einwalter, Library Director, presented the report. The library has fully recovered from COVID times. She presented the library’s numbers: electronic and physical checkouts, items handled by staff, visitors, cardholders who consider Greenfield to be their home library, and reimbursements from item circulations. The Department of Public Works built a new six-person study room. She spoke about the Explore Passes, which are passes to the zoo, the Domes, the art museum, the Harley Museum, and Betty Brinn. They have a great relationship with the IT department. She spoke about the usage of smart lockers for 24/7 pickup. She spoke about the positive impact that eliminating fines had on their budget. Franklin is now going to eliminate fines for children's items. Oak Creek is looking to make changes as well. The Greenfield Board did it because they wanted to provide as much access as possible. Being fine-free draws people in, along with caring staff and buying popular requested items. Alderperson Bailey and Ms. Einwalter discussed that Shorewood is probably the closest city that is doing what Greenfield is doing. Milwaukee Public isn't doing it. It's drawing a lot of people in; we've had over 1600 new library cards issued last year. Fine-free is only for items checked out in Greenfield, it's not for items brought from another library. If a person doesn’t return it, then they get billed and can't check out until it's been paid or the item is returned. The number of people not returning items hasn’t been affected by the removal of fines. If they don't return it by the due date, they get a notice after another 28–30 days. E-books don't have fines, as they are automatically returned on the due date by the software. She said that they are increasing the contribution of e-content. She spoke about the amount of money allocated, how items are purchased, holds, the higher expense of e-audiobooks, and how a vast Minutes are not official until formally approved by the Common Council at the next scheduled meeting.

They have been talking about it for three years. The county received a grant from the state to fix the trail on the Root River Parkway from 116th Street and Morgan Avenue to Howard Avenue. It's been underwater and in disrepair for a long period of time. They keep putting it off every year. Mr. Katz said that the section in Greenfield is their higher priority. Mayor Neitzke said that he hopes the grant stays with that project. They are spending about $200,000 on doing another study of all the trails and where they could build other ones. He hopes that the project is completed this year. Alderperson Bailey stated that he hopes so. The bike path takes you to 116th Street, which is a dangerous street. Mayor Neitzke said that it's one of the most common complaints. N. Adjourn Motion by Alderperson Akers, seconded by Alderperson Bailey to adjourn at 7:44 PM. Motion carried unanimously.
