MEMORANDUM
DATE October 19 2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City of Menasha Common Council
FROM Andrew Dane, Community Development Director
RE Menasha Strong Recovery Plan
PURPOSE
This memo provides an update on Menasha Strong Recovery Plan. More information is
available at: http://menasha-strong.org/
CORE MESSAGE
Recovery is moving. In the past month the City launched its recovery plan, gathered resident
feedback, and received a federal disaster declaration. Over 1,000 building permits have been
issued since the tornado. The chat bot functions within our new permitting software have
answered 807 questions and saved 332 hours of staff time.
We are telling residents what we know, what we don't know yet, and when we expect to know
more, and we will keep doing that until Council adopts the plan in January.
WHAT WE KNOW
• The plan is under way. City staff, the planning team and community partners
are working from the planning process Council approved on September 8th. The
RDA and the Advisory Group met on September 24th and October 6th, and the
first focus group, for the 3rd Street Corridor, also met on October 6th.
• Residents are weighing in. Over 495 people have answered the Menasha Strong
survey as of October 14, 2026. It stays open through October 29th. The survey
shapes the plan. It is not an application for aid.
• The project website is live, with the survey and the plan timeline. A sign-up for
updates is being added.
• Federal help is available. A federal major disaster declaration (DR-4949) was
approved on October 7th. Homeowners and renters in Winnebago County can
apply at DisasterAssistance.gov, through the FEMA app, or at 800-621-3362. The
deadline is December 7th. A FEMA official has given an initial projection of $17.9
million, which may change.
• Housing partners are involved. The City is talking with WHEDA and Habitat for
Humanity about repair and rebuilding resources to support implementation.
Page 4 of 113
2 of 2
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW YET
• How much FEMA will pay the City for public repairs. FEMA has not yet approved
any funding.
• Whether SBA disaster loans will be offered. The State has asked; SBA has not
decided.
• What the plan will recommend for specific neighborhoods and properties. That
comes from the survey, the open houses and the RDA's work this fall.
• Which local programs the City might create, and how they would fit with federal
aid. Those are Council decisions for later.
• Individual aid payments are decided by FEMA and insurers, not by the plan.
WHEN WE’LL KNOW MORE
• October 29th: The survey closes and the first public open house is held at City
Hall from 5pm to 8pm.
• November: Updates to Plan Commission (Nov 10th) and Council (Nov 16th). The
RDA and Advisory Group meet November 17th.
• December: Plan review and revisions. The RDA meets December 1st, and the
second public open house is December 15th
• January: The RDA and Plan Commission meet January 5th. Council considers
adoption January 18th.
• Federal aid: As FEMA, Wisconsin Emergency Management or SBA confirms each
item.
HOW WE’LL KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED
• Regular updates, with or without news. Every two weeks, plus one within three
days of each open house. Each uses the same three headings: what we know,
what we don't know yet, when we'll know more.
• One home for the plan: the project website - http://menasha-strong.org/
• The City's channels carry the same message: the City website, social media and
flyers at the open houses.
• A resource guide lists where residents can get help now, from FEMA, to Habitat,
to local relief funds.
• Andrew Dane speaks for the plan. Questions about FEMA applications go to
FEMA.

posting to the work order instead of expense accounts, and lower distribution expenses.

gallons. Net operating income was lower than budget by $160,097 for August. Estimates for

The Menasha Health Department has implemented a dental program for over 60 years. The program
was established by local dentists, school officials, and the Menasha Health Department. We provided
dental screenings, fluoride varnishes, dental sealants, and oral health education to students in the
Menasha Joint School District. Over the years, operations evolved and the services offered and
funding streams changed. Eventually, and for the last several years, the program was funded by a
combination of City tax levy, Menasha Joint School District funds, Medicaid reimbursement, a Seal A
Smile grant, and a grant from the United Way Fox Cities. This UW Fox Cities grant provided
approximately 45% of the funding needed to sustain the program at its current operations – with a full-
time public health dental hygienist, a part-time dental assistant, and supply/equipment costs.
This past year UW Fox Cities reprioritized where they allocated their community grant funds. We
applied for the grant as we have in the past, but we were not selected to receive any funding. Without
this substantial grant, we were unable to continue operating our program at all close to the level we
had been. In consultation with Mayor Hammond and Menasha Joint School District leadership, we
chose to end operations of the Menasha Health Department dental program and seek another agency
to provide these services to our school community.
While we are extremely disappointed to not be able to implement this program ourselves any longer,
we are excited to bring in Partnership Community Health Center (PCHC) to operate a school-based
dental program in the Menasha schools. We are even more excited that PCHC hired MHD’s dental
hygienist, Claire Opsteen, to administer the program. Claire will continue providing dental screenings,
oral health education, fluoride varnishes, dental sealants, and referrals for follow-up care, all at no
cost to families. MHD will remain involved and will provide support, but the program will be operated
and administered through PCHC.
This is a big change for our department. We have a lot of pride in our dental program and the positive
impact it has had in the health of our students, and we are sad to have lost the ability to serve our
community in this way. We believe, however, the most important thing is that our students continue
receiving quality preventive dental care with as few barriers as possible. That is why we are excited to
work with Partnership Community Health Center; an agency both the health department and the
school district already have established relationships with. PCHC is well equipped to provide dental
care and is dedicated to meeting the health needs of our community.

MEMORANDUM
DATE October 19, 2026
TO Common Council
FROM Kristi Heim, Associate Planner
RE Final Plat – Bluejay Way – 1327 Province Terrace (Parcel No. 7-00053-02) – Marcus McGuire
At the May 5, 2026, Plan Commission meeting, the commission recommended approval
of the Bluejay Way preliminary plat with the condition that a special use permit for two-
family homes be approved by the Common Council.
The preliminary plat with the recommendation was forwarded to the Common Council
for consideration and was approved at their May 18, 2026, meeting along with the special
use permit for this project.
Marcus McGuire has submitted an application for Bluejay Way final plat, Parcel No. 7-
00053-02. The property is zoned C-1, which if residential development is the principal
use, then all requirements and standards of the applicable residential district apply.
Duplexes are proposed for the five lots created by this plat. The lot sizes range in square
footage between 18,545 and 24,311 which exceed the minimum lot size standard within
the R-2 Two-Family Residence District of seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square
feet total and not less than three thousand six hundred (3,600) square feet per dwelling
unit.
The Plan Commission reviewed the final plat request at their October 6, 2026 meeting
and recommended approval to the Common Council as it meets the requirements of the
municipal ordinance, comprehensive plat, and is consistent with surrounding
development.
Recommendation
Staff and Plan Commission recommend approval of the Bluejay Way Final Plat as
presented finding that the plat conforms to the Municipal Ordinance, the City
Comprehensive Plan, and surrounding development.

TO Common Council
FROM Evan Janet, City Clerk
RE Transfer Alcohol License Application from Hungry Donkey, LLC, DBA Hungry Donkey
to Mrs. Potatoes, LLC, DBA Mrs. Potatoes (14 Tayco Street, Menasha) - "Class B"
(Intoxicating Liquor and Class "B" (Fermented Malt Beverages); Karla Irizarry Laboy,
Agent
Hungry Donkey, operated by Mario Nunez has chosen to cease business operations and
transfer its alcohol license to new operators of Mrs. Potatoes on the same premises. This
transfer allows Mrs. Potatoes, LLC to exercise the privileges of the original license for the
remainder of the 2026-2027 licensing term.
Wisconsin State Statute 125.04(12)(b)4.a. requires that the successor licensee meets all
requirements for an original alcohol license. This memorandum describes the achievement
of these requirements and the transfer agreement.
Mrs. Potatoes, LLC submitted a new application for a “Class B” (Intoxicating Liquor) and
Class “B” (Fermented Malt Beverages) alcohol license for use at 14 Tayco Street during the
licensing term of October 20, 2026 – June 30, 2027. These application materials are attached.
According to Section 7-2-8 of the Menasha Municipal Code, Club Tavern has been inspected
and approved by the Health Department, Building Inspection Office, and Fire Department.
Verification of these approvals is attached.
Other compliance requirements have also been met. Specifically, the property has no
outstanding zoning or code violations and is in good standing with the Menasha Finance
Department. Mrs. Potatoes achieved residence requirements under Section 7-2-7(a) of the
Menasha Municipal Code: the applicant submitted a written lease with a term exceeding one
year. The Menasha Police Department facilitated and approved a criminal background check
for agent Karla Irizarry Laboy; Irizarry Laboy additionally meets agent qualifications outlined in
Wisconsin State Statute 124.04(5)(a)(5). Notification of the application was published in three
consecutive issues of The Post-Crescent on October 13, 14, and 15, 2026.
Page 63 of 113
2 of 2
Both Hungry Donkey, LLC (Mario Nunez) and Mrs. Potatoes, LLC (Karla Irizarry Laboy), have
additionally signed a License Transfer Form furnished by the City of Menasha Clerk’s Office.
This form describes that Hungry Donkey, LLC relinquishes its alcohol license effective
October 20, 2026, and that Mrs. Potatoes, LLC accepts transfer of the alcohol license on the
same date, contingent upon Common Council approval. The form is attached.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approving transfer of Hungry Donkey’s “Class B” and
Class “B” alcohol license to Mrs. Potatoes for the October 20, 2026 – June 30, 2027 licensing
term.

MEMORANDUM
DATE October 19 2026
TO Honorable Mayor and City of Menasha Common Council
FROM Andrew Dane, Community Development Director
RE Raze Orders – Tornado Impacted Structures – R-44-26 A Resolution Increasing the Limit of
Authorization to Expend or Commit Public Funds Regarding City Operations
PURPOSE
This memo summarizes the condition of structures damaged in the July 27 tornado that
remain unrepaired, and proposes a process, timeline, and funding approach for issuing raze
orders where repair is not reasonable.
BACKGROUND
The National Weather Service rated the tornado a preliminary EF-3, with estimated winds up
to 140 mph, tracking south from west-northwest of Appleton into Fox Crossing and Menasha
and damaging homes, businesses, and trees. Governor Evers declared a state of emergency
the day after the storm.
The Building Inspection Division has posted 596 yellow placards (moderate to severe damage)
and 132 red (Unsafe) ATC-45 placards on residential structures. The red-placarded structures
are concentrated in four neighborhoods:
- Jefferson Park: 56 (47%)
- Doty Island: 29 (24%)
- Hart Park: 25 (21%)
- Calder/Gegan: 9 (8%)
- Total: 119 (100%)
Jefferson Park had the heaviest concentration, especially along 3rd Street (19 structures) and
2nd Street (12). On Doty Island, damage was clustered on Willow Lane (12) and Lopas Street
(11). Of the affected properties, forty-four (44) have been repaired or have active permits,
sixteen (16) have been demolished voluntarily, and sixty-eight (68) remain damaged with no
meaningful repair activity. This memo concerns the last group.
WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE
Nine weeks after the storm, a set of structures remains open to the weather, partially
collapsed, or abandoned. These buildings are a hazard to anyone who enters them, including
Page 106 of 113
2 of 4
children and salvagers. They keep deteriorating with every rain, and winter snow load and
freeze-thaw will push compromised structures toward collapse. This scenario is a
neighborhood stabilization problem. Owners who are rebuilding are doing so next to vacant,
damaged shells, which hurts property values and confidence in the area. Finally, the window
for tapping insurance proceeds is narrowing. Once claims are settled and paid out, the city's
best source of demolition cost recovery goes away.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Under Wis. Stat. 66.0413(1)(b), the building inspector may order an owner to raze a building
that is dangerous or unfit for habitation and unreasonable to repair. Repairs are presumed
unreasonable when their cost exceeds 50% of the building's equalized value (66.0413(1)(c)).
Orders must be served like a summons and published as a class 1 notice to lienholders
(66.0413(1)(d)). Recording the order with the Register of Deeds binds later buyers
(66.0413(1)(e)). If an owner doesn't comply, the city may raze the building and charge the cost
as a special charge lien (66.0413(1)(f)). Owners can challenge an order in circuit court
(66.0413(1)(h)), so careful documentation is essential.
One provision is especially relevant after a storm: for insured dwellings an insurer has
certified as wholly destroyed, sub. (5) requires the city to give notice of intent to the owner,
lienholder, and insurer, accept damage and repair estimates for 30 days, inspect on site, and
make written findings before issuing an order. Because most affected properties are insured
single-family homes, staff expects this process to apply to most raze orders.
At the local level, Sec. 15-1-9 of the Municipal Code authorizes raze orders and requires
demolition permits (30-day completion, deposit, utility disconnection). Sec. 15-5-11(b)(4)
specifically lists wind damage as grounds for a "dangerous dwelling" determination, and Sec.
15-1-4(8) authorizes emergency action and cost recovery where collapse is imminent.
PRIORITY PROPERTIES
Staff is in the process of ranking the remaining properties in three tiers:
- Tier 1, immediate: the structure received a red (Unsafe) ATC-45 placard from the Building
Inspection Division, and it is collapsed or in imminent danger of collapse, unsecured, near
sidewalks or occupied homes, or attracting trespass. These may justify emergency action
under 15-1-4(8). Additional considerations include negative impact on sanitary system due to
compromised plumbing and drainage. Staff have identified 36 properties in this category.
- Tier 2, raze order track: the structure received a red (Unsafe) ATC-45 placard, repair cost
clearly exceeds 50% of value, and the owner has no permit or credible repair plan.
- Tier 3, monitor: the structure is repairable, or repair cost does not clearly exceed 50% of
value, and the owner is engaged but delayed by insurance or contractors. Staff will set
compliance deadlines and move these to Tier 2 if progress stalls.
Page 107 of 113
3 of 4
Within each tier, priority goes to properties that are vacant, owned by unresponsive or out-of-
area owners, uninsured, or have known environmental contamination on or next to the
property.
LEADERSHIP AND ROLES
Community Development leads the effort, with the Building Inspector serving as the
designated officer who makes findings and issues orders. The City Attorney reviews service,
recording, and any court challenges. Public Works manages contracted demolitions and site
restoration. Finance tracks costs and certifies special charges. The Clerk handles publication
and the tax roll. Staff will report progress to Council bi-monthly.
STAFFING NEEDS
Managing raze orders for this volume of properties is beyond the capacity of current Building
Inspection staff. For every property, inspection staff will need to inspect and document the
structure, verify repair costs, issue the sub. (5) notice and review submitted materials, draft
and serve the order, review the demolition permit, and complete a final inspection. Staff
estimates this work at 10 to 15 hours per property. The additional work for city-led razes and
contested orders, including procurement, contractor oversight, cost recovery, and legal
proceedings, will be absorbed by existing staff in Public Works, Finance, the Clerk's office, and
the City Attorney's office.
Applied to the 132 red-placarded structures, the estimated Building Inspection
workload assuming 12 hours of work per property is 1,584 hours at a cost of $118,800
assuming a rate of $75 per hour for limited-term or contracted inspection staff. Most of
this work will fall between October and March, so staff anticipate bringing on temporary or
contracted inspection support during that period rather than adding a permanent position.
Staffing costs will be paid from the $500,000 authorization.
TENTATIVE TIMELINE
- October: finalize inventory and tiers; contact owners and insurers; send sub. (5) notices of
intent for insured dwellings (30-day comment window); begin emergency action on any Tier 1
properties.
- November: issue and record raze orders for Tier 2 properties as applicable; solicit demolition
bids or set up a unit-price contract.
- December-February: compliance periods expire; the city razes non-compliant structures,
prioritizing the most hazardous before heavy snow.
- Spring 2027: complete site restoration (grading, seeding, erosion control) and certify special
charges for the tax roll.
COST AND FUNDING
The approach puts costs on owners and insurers first, with the city as a backstop that
recovers its costs.
Page 108 of 113
4 of 4
1. Owner and insurance. Most owners are expected to demolish on their own, using
insurance proceeds. Under Wis. Stat. 632.103, insurers must withhold a portion of a fire or
windstorm settlement when the city gives notice of a raze order or outstanding costs. Staff
will send those notices promptly.
2. City advance and recovery. Where owners do not comply, the city will pay for demolition up
front and recover costs through withheld insurance funds and a special charge lien against
the property. Properties with known environmental contamination on or adjacent to the site
may require coordination with the Wisconsin DNR, including asbestos inspection and
notification before demolition, and should be expected to cost more to raze and restore.
3. Outside sources. City staff will continue to monitor grant opportunities and assess long-
term financing options to cover the cost of razes.
The request assumes the city will need to demolish 50 percent of the Tier 1 red-placarded
homes, or 18 structures at $20,000 each. It also includes staffing to process raze orders for
the 132 red-placarded residential structures for a total cost breakdown of:
• 18 homes, $360,000 demolition + $118,800 staffing = $478,800
