Electric bicycles (e-bikes) have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation for individuals of all ages, particularly younger riders and those who benefit from the assistance of an electric motor. The Village's current ordinance addresses only traditional pedal bicycles. Under Wisconsin law, electric bicycles equipped with factory-installed, operable pedals are classified as bicycles and are generally subject to the same rules of the road. However, the growing variety of personal transportation devices—including electric bicycles, electric scooters, skateboards, in -line skates, and other play vehicles—has created a need for greater clarity within the Village Code. Many municipalities have updated their ordinances to distinguish between these different modes of transportation and establish regulations that reflect their unique characteristics. Adopting similar ordinance revisions will provide clearer guidance regarding where these devices may be operated, the responsibilities of their operators, and the expectation s for safe use within the Village. These updates will improve public understanding, enhance safety for both users and pedestrians, and provide law enforcement with clear and consistent regulations for enforcement.

For Part G, Question 1: we as the municipality are allowed to limit the scope of what the business sells (ex. if they sell beer, wine, and liquor, but we only want them to sell beer, we can limit their offerings.) For Part G, Question 2: we as the municipality can limit other activities, such as operating hours. The State DAB conducts the background checks on the applicant and verifies the business is allowed to hold the requested type of license prior to issuance. Additionally, the State DAB has provided additional information/faq's to assist municipalities as this form is still relatively new: What is the difference between a fixed and unlimited transfer full-service retail outlet? Fixed full-service retail outlets may be transferred from one location to another once per year. Unlimited transfer full-service retail outlets may be transferred an unlimited number of times in a year. Only one of a producer’s full-service retail outlets may be transferred without limitation on frequency. Can a municipality limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet? Yes, a municipality can limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet. Municipalities may limit the scope of alcohol beverages offered for sale by the permittee. Municipal approval of a full-service retail outlet must be based on the same standards and criteria, established by ordinance, for the evaluation and approval of retail licenses. A municipality may not impose any requirement or restriction in connection with the approval that the municipality does not impose on retail licensees. Some examples of Page 59 of 73 limitations may be: parking, zoning, or noise ordinance restrictions; not allowing sales of alcohol beverages for off-premises consumption. Does a producer need licensed operators (bartenders)? Yes. There must be one or more licensed operators in charge of the premises. An operator's license is often called a "bartender's license." Not all bartenders must hold operator's licenses, but there must be at least one licensed operator in charge of the premises. If the premises is large, with several serving areas, bar areas, etc., licensed operators must oversee each distinct area to supervise and direct unlicensed persons who may be selling/serving alcohol beverages.

What are full-service retail outlets? Full-service retail outlets are authorized locations for full-service retail sales at places other than the permittee’s production premises. What is the difference between a fixed and unlimited transfer full-service retail outlet? Fixed full-service retail outlets may be transferred from one location to another once per year. Unlimited transfer full-service retail outlets may be transferred an unlimited number of times in a year. Only one of a producer’s full-service retail outlets may be transferred without limitation on frequency. How many full-service retail outlets may I have? The number of full-service retail outlets a producer qualifies for is determined by alcohol beverage production volume. Producers may have a maximum of three full-service outlets, regardless of the number or type of producer permits they hold. Who approves full-service retail sales? Full-service retail sales on the production premises need only be approved by the Division of Alcohol Beverages. Municipalities do not issue licenses for full-service retail sales outlets; however, municipalities must approve of the outlets. The applicant must forward the municipal approval to the Division of Alcohol Beverages for final granting of the authority for sales to commence on the premises. Can a municipality limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet? Yes, a municipality can limit authorized sales at a full-service retail outlet. Municipalities may limit the scope of alcohol beverages offered for sale by the permittee. Municipal approval of a full-service retail outlet must be based on the same standards and criteria, established by ordinance, for the evaluation and approval of retail licenses. A municipality may not impose any requirement or restriction in connection with the approval that the municipality does not impose on retail licensees. How do I fill out Form AB-105 and begin the application process? Authorizations requested on Form AB-105 must be applied for only one premises in one municipality at a time.

GFD Utility and Inspector Vehicle 2. GFD Utility Inspector F150 Window Sticker STAFF RECOMMENDATION: ACTION BY COMMITTEE: Page 69 of 73 BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: August 3rd, 2026 PLACEMENT: Action Item ITEM TITLE: Purchase of Multi-Purpose Pickup Truck SUBMITTED BY: John Delain, Fire Chief SUMMARY EXPLANATION: As part of the 2026 budget the Department requested and was approved for $85,000 of funding for a pickup truck and subsequent upfitting costs. The Department is requesting authorization to use the budgeted funds as intended and purchase a Ford F- 150 and upfitting in an amount not to exceed $74,101. If the Department orders the vehicle through the State of Wisconsin contract the cost will be as listed. However, as of 7/21 there are currently a few new F-150's that match the required specifications at dealerships in the Midwest. One dealership is noted to have the price listed $6,000 less than the State contract. There will be a cost for delivery and dealer fees, but if the Department is able to purchase directly from one of these dealerships, there will be a few thousand-dollar savings. In discussions the dealer is not willing/able to hold the vehicle for the Department until we receive proper approvals. To reduce costs the upfitting quotes we received include reusing some equipment from previous uses that has remaining serviceable life. The lowest quote is $19,380 from our current vendor, Emergency Lighting Solutions. Emergency Lighting Solutions has completed the upfitting on several Germantown Fire vehicles. Vehicle Purpose: The vehicle will be used in many capacities; fire & life safety inspections, community risk reduction, public education, administrative, fast response, utility, and for the movement of soiled gear or equipment after an incident. Fire and life safety inspections: The Department must inspect businesses and multi- family buildings 2 times annually. This task is mainly accomplished through 2 qualified and dedicated inspectors. Currently the Department has only 1 staff vehicle assigned, which the other inspector either completes office work, or uses an ambulance or brush fire truck for transportation. As the cost of an ambulance has increased nearly 100% in 6 years,the continued use of an ambulance in this capacity is not fiscally responsible. The brush fire truck is a 2012 pickup truck that in 2019 was modified by DPW to have limited brush fire capacity. As the brush truck is nearly 15 years old being used in a Page 70 of 73 non-intended capacity the truck has experienced several issues the last few years. Currently the brush fire truck is out of service due to unknown electrical issues. The repeated use of a brush fire truck in this capacity is also not fiscally responsible as the cost of a brush truck has increased to $200,000+. Note: The DPW’s mechanics are diagnosing the electrical and other issues with the goal to stretch the life as long as feasible. Community risk reduction: The Department has a robust community risk reduction program that performs smoke detector installs, home safety checks, annual school visits, and some miscellaneous tasks. Currently these are completed almost exclusively with the 24-hour shift personnel. The use of 24-hour shift personnel will continue however having the second vehicle available to the inspectors, will allow them to supplement shift personnel. Administrative: The department does not have a vehicle available for administrative tasks such as too and from schools, training, or other Village departments. Currently the Department has had to reimburse employees mileage rates at established levels when these functions are needed. This vehicle would likely not be used in this capacity often, but it would allow for the other vehicle to be available, which it currently is not. Fast response: The vehicle will be upfitted with standard emergency lighting and warning equipment allowing it to be used as a first response/fast response vehicle. It can also be used for the transporting of personnel to and from emergency scenes which right now is done with the Battalion Chiefs car, which only has 1 unmodified passenger seat limiting capacity of personnel transporting. Utility: When the 2012 pickup truck was modified into a home-built brush truck, the Department had no capacity to transport large/bulky items and/or soiled and contaminated gear and equipment. Currently the transport of such materials is inside the patient compartment of an ambulance, or the back seats of the fire engine. Transporting materials in this manner is unsanitary and unsafe as it cannot be secured and directly exposes personnel to the contaminated equipment. RECOMMENDATION: The Department is respectfully requesting the Committee approve the full amount of $74,101 for the chassis and upfitting. With the knowledge that if available, staff will be attempting to acquire the vehicle at a lower price from a dealership.
