Less than 5% required extended follow-up or

Continue targeted proactive enforcement for
repeat offenders and junk vehicles
Cost recovery applied to property taxes when
city clean-up was necessary, ensuring
compliant residents were not paying for
noncompliance
Enforcement utilized graduated timelines (14–
day, scheduled abatement) based on severity,
location, and repeat history, allowing for
fairness while maintaining standards.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy, its applicability, interaction with the proposed rules, and

Staff advised on peer community perspectives on elected officials as employees. Local
governing bodies throughout the state are regarded as employees and comply with employee
policies. Staff also spoke to the benefit of rules, and procedural options for amending the rules.
Motion by Mayor Hammond seconded by Ald. Grade to amend number four under Section 1.15
of R-7-26 to read, “Use of cell phones during a meeting shall not be allowed except in the case
of an emergency, medical accommodation, and/or to record, film or photograph the meeting

City approved voting or meeting management systems, assistive technology and accessibility
tools, emergency communications. Personal devices shall not be used for personal social
media, unrelated communications, or any activity inconsistent with the business before the body.
The presiding officer may call a member to order for disruptive use.” Motion carried on voice
vote.
Motion by Ald. Rand seconded by Ald. Perkins to amend number seven under Section 1.15 of
R-7-26 to read, “Responsibility and Disclosure.
a) Human Responsibility. The use of AI tools does not transfer responsibility for accuracy,
truthfulness, or professional integrity. Any member who uses AI in preparing official council
communications or documents bears sole responsibility for verifying the accuracy of the content
submitted under their name. By submitting a document for official City use, the submitter affirms
they have personally reviewed and can vouch for the accuracy, citations, data, and legal
references contained therein.
b) Disclosure for Packet Submissions. A council member who uses AI as a primary drafting tool
for a document submitted for packet inclusion shall note that AI-assisted drafting was used. This
disclosure may be made with a single line — e.g., "Drafted with AI assistance; reviewed and
verified by the submitter" — appended to the document or filed simultaneously. Disclosure is not
required for: grammar, spelling, or style checking, accessibility tools or text-to-speech
conversion, summarization of documents the member has read, AI features embedded in
standard office software (e.g., autocomplete, formatting suggestions), any use where the
member has substantially rewritten or independently verified the output.
c) Resident Data Protection. Non-public resident information — including but not limited to social
security numbers, health records, or private utility data — shall not be submitted to any public AI
model.
d) Annual Technology Briefing. The City IT Department shall provide a brief annual update to
the Common Council on the current state of AI and technology tools relevant to council
functions. The purpose is to keep policy calibrated to actual conditions, not to impose new
requirements.
e) No Freestanding Penalty. Violation of this section is not a standalone complaint-eligible
offense under Rule 1.08. Accuracy failures in submitted documents are addressed through
correction and the member's public accountability. Intentional misrepresentation remains subject
to applicable state statutes.” Main motion carried as amended 4-0 on roll call.
Mayor Hammond offered a friendly amendment to strike “resident” from two locations in
subpoint c of the proposed amendment. Motion to amend carried on voice vote.
Motion by Ald. Rand seconded by Mayor Hammond to strike subpoint d of the proposed
amendment. Motion to amend carried 4-0 on roll call.
Discussion considered data requiring protection, disclosure for various work products using AI,
and compliance.
Motion by Ald. Rand seconded by Ald. Grade to amend number two under Section 1.08 to read
“Member Complaints. Any member of the common council or a standing committee may file a
complaint with the Chair (or City Attorney) for violations of council rules, Healthy Workplace
Policy, Anti-Harassment Policy, Use of Technology & Electronic Communications System Policy
(Appendix Q), relevant ordinance or state statute by any other member no later than forty-five
(45) days following the occurrence”. Motion to amend carried on voice vote.
Motion by Mayor Hammond seconded by Ald. Perkins to amend number seven under Section
Page 41 of 146
1.15 of R-7-26 by adding, “e) Ethical Use. Common Council members when participating in any
official City of Menasha business must use AI in accordance with all City of Menaha policies
including conduct and anti-discrimination policies. These technologies must not be used to
create content that is inappropriate, discriminatory, or otherwise harmful to others or the City of
Menasha”. Motion carried on voice vote.

D. MINUTES TO APPROVE
1. Board of Appeals, 10/6/25
Motion by Member Jungen seconded by Member Vander Wyst to approve the minutes of
the 10/6/25 Board of Appeals meeting. Motion carried on voice vote.
E. ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Variance Request – Roof Pitch – Todd Hietpas – 718 Keyes Street, Menasha (Parcel
No. 3-00047-00)
Todd Hietpas and Kelle Jorgensen appeared to speak on the variance request.
Motion by Member Galeazzi seconded by Member Rae-Othrow to deny the
reconstruction of the existing three seasons room and portions of the existing roof with a
roof pitch less than 4/12ths at 718 Keyes Street, Menasha, as requested by the variance
applicant, based on the applicant’s inability to meet the five legal standards required for a
variance.
Motion carried 5-0 on roll call.
Board discussion considered the original structure of the home and its roof, service
providers for these types of roof designs, and guttering systems for the proposed roof.
The Board discussed the property owner’s ability to meet the five legal standards
required for granting a variance. Specifically, the Board discussed that the applicant’s
circumstance does not qualify as a hardship as there are other options for maintaining
the sunroom.
Staff advised on building code parameters surrounding roof pitch and egress windows,
alterative options for achieving project goals such as size modifications to the egress
window on the upper floor and use of leak-proof materials, the property’s conformity
status and permitting history, and the zoning code’s historical development.
The applicant provided supplemental signatures to a petition previously circulated and
included in the Board of Appeals agenda packet, and additionally produced a three-
dimensional rendering of the project plan. The applicant advised on hardship to the
property absent a granted variance; specifically, the existing roof is leaking due to a low
roof valley of less than 4/12 and necessary egress window. The applicant does not seek
to increase property value, but rather to maintain the existing three seasons room
containing the roof in question; the applicant describes this as a maintenance project.
The applicant further advised that this project will not impact the public or neighboring
properties as it seeks to maintain the existing structure, and because the property owner
has sought buy-in by neighbors. Finally, the applicant advocated that the project adheres
to the zoning code’s spirit as it seeks minimal interruption to community members.
Page 44 of 146
2. Variance Request – Front Yard Fence Height – Asher Jacobson – 101 Racine Street
(Parcel No. 7-100086-00)
Asher Jacobson appeared to speak on the variance request.
Motion by Member Jacobson seconded by Member Rae-Othrow to deny the installation
of a ten-foot fence within the front yard setback at 101 Racine Street, Menasha, as
requested by the variance applicant, based on the applicant’s inability to meet the five
legal standards.
Motion carried 5-0 on roll call.
Board discussion considered the aesthetics of the fence, the commercial zoning of the
properties located at 101 and 105 Racine Street and changes to fence height allowances
on commercially zoned properties. Specifically, the zoning code allows an eight-foot
fence on such properties.
Staff advised that the zoning code allows different fence height limits on commercially
zoned properties; this limit is eight feet. This may eliminate hardship and provide options
to the applicant. Pursuit of the eight-foot fence is subject to approval by the Engineering
Department pending a vision triangle evaluation. For traffic visibility, this fence must be
50% opaque. The Engineering Department may also consider a driveway apron abutting
the proposed fence at 101 Racine Street.
The applicant advised that the applicants’ variance requests for 101, 105, and 109
Racine Street are interconnected because they seek installation of a contiguous fence
along the property line shared by these properties. The applicant shared additionally the
history of these properties; specifically, a high volume of crime has been reported against
these properties before and since the applicant took ownership. The applicant also
shared concerns with debris and noise pollution around these properties. The applicant
describes these experiences as a hardship that prohibits the enjoyment of the properties
in question. The applicant advised that the fence would be a black-posted, chestnut
brown thick deck fence. The applicant believes that the fence would enhance public
welfare by preventing criminal activity on private property.
3. Variance Request – Front Yard Fence Height, Rear Yard Fence Height – Asher
Jacobson – 105 Racine Street (Parcel No. 7-100085-00)
Asher Jacobson appeared to speak on the variance request.
Motion by Member Vander Wyst seconded by Member Jungen to deny the installation of
a ten-foot fence within the front yard setback and a twelve-foot fence along the rear
(eastern) property line at 105 Racine Street, Menasha, as requested by the variance
applicant, based on the applicant’s inability to meet the five legal standards.
Motion carried 5-0 on roll call.
Page 45 of 146
Board discussion considered the lack of hardship presented by the applicant; specifically,
the vacant lot is unaffected by neighborhood surveillance. Further, other criminal activity
identified by the applicant may be addressed by law enforcement.
Staff advised that 105 Racine Street is a commercially zoned, vacant lot that allows eight-
foot fencing.
The applicant advised that the purpose of this various request is to enhance privacy due
to concerns of neighborhood surveillance. The applicant advised that this undermines
their ability to enjoy the benefits of their property.
4. Variance Request – Garage Setback/Size, Front Yard Fence Height, Side Yard Fence
Height – Asher Jacobson – 109 Racine Street (Parcel No. 7-100084-00)
Asher Jacobson appeared to speak on the variance request.
Motion by Member Rae-Othrow seconded by Member Vander Wyst to deny the
construction of a detached garage within sixteen inches of side and rear yard setbacks
and 864 square feet in size, installation of a ten-foot fence within the front yard setback,
and installation of a twelve-foot fence along the side yard property line at 109 Racine
Street, Menasha, as requested by the variance applicant, based on the applicant’s
inability to meet the five legal standards.
Motion carried 5-0 on roll call.
Board discussion considered mechanisms for determining the size of the original
footprint, the option for the property owner to build a shed for storing, and the interaction
of personal circumstances with legal standards. The Board specifically discussed the
applicant’s failure to meet the hardship criteria; the Board finds that a home without a
garage, or with a small garage, does not constitute a hardship. The Board additionally
discussed the uniqueness of the applicant’s property, finding it non-unique among
surrounding properties.
Staff advised that while this property is zoned commercially, it is primarily used
residentially, and is thus subject to the residential zoning ordinances. Staff additionally
advised on setbacks for garages and other accessary structures, the history of the zoning
code in this regard, and comparative structures in the area. Staff additionally discussed
legal non-conforming structures; if these structures are destroyed, they may be
reconstructed upon the same footprint. Construction outside of the original footprint
forfeits legal non-conforming status. Staff advised that proving the size of the original,
legal non-conforming structure is the burden of the property owner. Staff emphasized that
the property owner could legally erect a 701 square foot garage with three-foot setbacks
on the property in question.
The applicant advised that the garage sought is thirty-six by twenty-four feet and is
designed to align with the home’s sizing. The applicant advised that alternatives to the
proposed garage are unideal due to fire risks and unstable foundation.

Workshop
Minutes
Meeting called to order by Attorney Struve at 1:01pm.
PRESENT: Members Galeazzi, Vander Wyst, Jacobson, Rae-Othrow, Jungen
ALSO PRESENT: CA Struve, PP Larsen, Clerk Snyder, DC Janet
Staff advised that the purpose of this workshop is to provide Board of Appeals members with a
training on their roles and duties to this body, as a training has not been held in approximately
three years and the current calendar year has seen an unprecedented influx of variance
applications.
Staff facilitated this training via PowerPoint using resources developed by the University of
Wisconsin – Madison Extension for Local Government, including a video on the role of the
Zoning Board and its fundamental responsibilities, and a video on variances. Staff additionally
discussed case law as it relates to factors that may and may not contribute to Board decision
making.
Staff concluded the training presentation by describing the five legal standards the Menasha
Municipal Code requires a variance applicant to achieve for the Board to grant a variance: (1)
unnecessary hardship; (2) uniqueness of property; (3) unexclusive desire to increase property
value; (4) non-detrimental to public welfare; (5) does not undermine the spirit of the Zoning
Code.
Board discussion considered the standard of proof, defining the five legal standards to various
neighborhoods, staff discussions with applicants ahead of their appearance before the Board of
Appeals, and the overall purpose of the process.
The Board of Appeals Workshop meeting adjourned at 1:50pm.

City of Menasha | Department of Public Works
MEMORANDUM
DATE April 30, 2026
TO
FROM James Merten, Director of Public Works
RE Inclement Weather Response Synopsis
Over the past month, successive severe weather events have placed significant demands on
Public Works crews. In light of the widespread impacts on Menasha residents, provided
below is summary of the major events, their effects on the City, and the actions the Public
Works Department taken to protect public health, safety, and property.
This memo focuses on two separate but related events: the heavy rainfall event of April 13–14
and the subsequent rise in lake levels caused by upstream flooding on the Wolf River.
April 13th–14th Rainfall Event
According to National Weather Service reports, the City of Menasha received between 3.1
and 5.7 inches of rain, as recorded at various stations, during the two-day rainfall event of
April 13–14. These totals were among the highest recorded in the immediate region and
represented the highest amounts within Winnebago County.
The two-day rainfall equated to roughly one to nearly two months’ worth of normal
precipitation (monthly average: 3.2 inches) falling in just 48 hours. This extreme intensity,
combined with already saturated ground conditions from above-normal spring moisture –
including a major March blizzard and subsequent rapid snowmelt – led to rapid-onset
flooding across the area.
Sanitary Sewer Overflow
At midnight on April 13, crews were dispatched to the Ninth Street lift station in response to a
high water alarm. The problem was quickly resolved with no reported impacts to properties in
the station’s service area.
Crews then conducted inspections across the sanitary sewer system and found that many
critical points were rapidly approaching or had already reached capacity due to significant
inflow and infiltration of stormwater.
Page 93 of 146
2 of 3
By approximately 12:30 a.m., Public Works deployed its portable pumps to relieve system
pressure and prevent or minimize basement backups. Multiple pumps were deployed at
some locations to account for the unprecedented flow running through the system. Crews
continuously monitored and adjusted operations until the system stabilized. In total, an
estimated 2.5 million gallons of water were pumped from the sanitary sewer system.
To date, the City has received a limited, but noteworthy number of complaints regarding
sewer backups, with the majority occurring in the Seventh Street area (see Figure 1 below).
Figure 1 – Map of the Seventh Street area impacted by flooding and sewer backups (red box)
and other nearby areas impacted by flooding (blue lines).
Storm Sewer and Surface Flooding
The storm sewer system was also overwhelmed, leading to widespread surface flooding in
Menasha and surrounding communities. Notable flooding occurred in the Seventh Street
area, on Ninth Street near Elmwood Drive, on Fox Street, and along the city limits on Plank
Road and Oneida Street (see Figure 1 above).
The Seventh and Ninth Street areas are particularly vulnerable due to their low ground
elevation at the upstream end of the storm sewer network, which provides limited storage
capacity during heavy rain events. Crews worked aggressively to clear debris from storm
drains, removing blockages caused by leaves and other material carried by the flood waters.
Crews also addressed isolated flooding caused by leaves and debris plugging the storm
drains throughout the City.
Page 94 of 146
3 of 3
Thanks to these efforts, the majority of flooding subsided by 7 a.m. on April 14, though Fox
Street and the Plank Road/Oneida Street areas remained flooded longer.
The combined sanitary sewer and stormwater response efforts required approximately 210
staff hours (excluding administrative personnel).
Property Damage Support
In recognition of the significant damage to private property, the Public Works Department
offered free bulky item collection for water-damaged items. The service was initially provided
citywide from April 15–17 and was later extended through Tuesday, April 21, on a request-only
basis. Staff dedicated an estimated 80 manhours to this effort.
Rising Lake Level Flooding Event (April 21st – Current)
In response to significant flooding along the Wolf River that heavily impacted Shiocton and
New London, City staff contacted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess potential
downstream effects on Menasha. The Corps confirmed that the increased flows would likely
cause flooding in low-lying areas of the City.
On April 21, Public Works issued a public notification alerting residents to the potential
flooding risks.
To assist residents, the City obtained unused sandbags from the Shiocton area and made
them available at no charge at several locations throughout Menasha. Crews proactively
placed sandbags in the Fox Street neighborhood and began pumping water from the area. As
lake levels continued to rise, staff added more sandbags and prepared additional supplies.
Crews also conducted ongoing monitoring of multiple low-lying areas.
As of the time of writing this memo, the elevations of Lake Winnebago and Little Lake Butte
des Morts have only recently crested and are now slowly receding toward normal elevations.
To date, City crews have dedicated more than 200 staff hours (excluding administrative
personnel) to protecting Menasha residents and properties from the rising floodwaters.
Additional staff time is expected for removal and disposal of sandbags.

D. PUBLIC HEARING
Staff advised that the three proposed text amendments to the City of Menasha's
Zoning Code are designed to answer a recent housing needs study initiated by the
Community Development Department. These proposals seek to simplify housing
development requirements.
1. O-5-26 — Proposed Text Amendment to Title 13, Chapter 1, Article C,
Sections 13-1-25(f)(12), and 13-1-26(f)(12) and 13-1-39(f)(11) of the Code of
Ordinances Pertaining to Minimum Roof Pitch in the R-1, R-2, and R-1A
Districts
Mayor Hammond opened the public hearing at 5:07 pm and invited members
of the public to speak. Mayor Hammond closed the public hearing at 5:08pm
after no members of the public chose to speak.
2. O-6-26 — Proposed Text Amendment to Title 13, Chapter 1, Article C,
Sections 13-1-25(f)(13)(a) and 13-1-26(f)(13)(a) and 13-1-35(g)(4)(a), and 13-
1-39(f)(12)(a) of the Code of Ordinances Pertaining to the Minimum Garage
Dimensions in the R-1, R-2, R-2A, and R-1A Districts
Mayor Hammond opened the public hearing at 5:08pm and invited members
of the public to speak.
Don Merkes (163 Main Street, Menasha) spoke on the historical purpose of
the legislation governing minimum garage dimensions. This section of the
Municipal Code was designed to give Menasha residents storage space to
enhance curb appeal and neighborly relations. Merkes encouraged the
Common Council to vote against O-6-26.
Jennifer Sunstrom (W6124 Aerotech Drive, Appleton) spoke in support of O-
6-26. Sunstrom advised that to manage the present housing crisis, housing
must adapt by creating options for single-person families, aging populations,
Page 96 of 146
and low-income homeowners. Sunstrom encouraged the Common Council to
vote for O-6-26.
Mayor Hammond closed the public hearing at 5:17pm.
3. O-7-26 — Proposed Text Amendment to Title 13, Chapter 1, Article C,

1-35(i), and 13-1-35(i)(1) Pertaining to Lot Standards in the R-1, R-2, and R-2A
Districts
Mayor Hammond opened the public hearing at 5:17pm and invited members
of the public to speak.
Abby Maslinka (1377 Midway Road, Menasha) spoke in favor of O-7-26.
Maslinka commented that reduced restrictions for housing developments
means increased flexibility and options for residents.
Nathan Schulzie (1198 Fieldview Drive, Menasha) questioned the minimum
allowable lot size.
Mayor Hammond closed the public hearing at 5:21pm.

FROM Austin R. Hammond, Mayor
RE R-7-26 - A Resolution Adopting Rules of the Common Council and Mayor
Background
Each year the Protocol Committee reviews and provides recommended updates to the Rules
of the Common Council and Mayor before the Organizational Meeting of the Common
Council in the third week of April. The original amendments were based on the newly
approved Appendix R. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy, and to further elaborate on the
expectations under the Use of Technology & Electronic Communications System Policy. With
advancing technology, it is important that we make slight adjustments as recommended for
clarity of IT expectations. Additionally, the Common Council, on April 21 st, 2026, during the
Organizational Meeting sent R-7-26 back to the Protocol Committee for further review and
additional amendments. The following amendments reflect the approved changes from the
April 29, 2026, Protocol Committee meeting, overlaid upon changes made at the April 13,
2026 Protocol Committee meeting.
Analysis
The following Item has been approved as amendments for R-7-26 in the Protocol Committee
on April 29th, 2026:
1.08 PRESERVATION OF ORDER

used to create content that is inappropriate, discriminatory,
or otherwise harmful to others or the City of Menasha.

MEMORANDUM
DATE May 5th 2026
TO Honorable Mayor and Common Council
FROM Andrew Dane, Community Development Director
RE Appointment of Matt Larsen to Fox Cities Transit Commission

reappointment. Staff have identified Matt Larsen, Principal Planner in the Community

analysis, and coordination of development initiatives throughout the city. His role in the
Community Development Department provides a valuable perspective on how transportation
systems influence economic development, housing, and overall community growth. His
involvement would support the Fox Cities Transit Commission’s goals of improving
accessibility, enhancing connectivity between communities, and promoting sustainable
transportation solutions.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that Mayor Hammond appoint Matt Larsen to the Fox Cities Transit
Commission for the term of 5/6/2026 – 4/30/2029.
