Lessor reserves the right to enter upon the premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of making any inspection it may deem expedient to the proper enforcement of any of the covenants or conditions of this agreement. 3 11. Lessee shall pay all taxes or assessments that may be levied against the property of the Lessee or the buildings, which he may erect on the lands leased exclusively to lessee.

The Lessee agrees that no fermented malt beverages or intoxicating liquors shall be sold on the leased premises. 15. Failure on the part of the Lessee to pay the rent hereunder within 30 days after same shall become due, shall authorize Lessor, at its option and without legal proceedings, to declare this lease void, cancel the same, and re- enter and take possession of the premises. 16. If Lessee shall violate any of the restrictions in this lease, or shall fail to keep any of its covenants after written notice to cease such violation and shall to correct such violation within thirty days, the Lessor may at once, if it so elects, terminate the same and take possession of the premises. 17. Lessee may not, at any time during the time of this lease, assign, hypothecate or transfer this agreement or any interest therein, without the consent of the Lessor, which consent may be withheld. 18. The Lessor reserves the right to further develop or improve the landing area of the airport as it sees fit, regardless of the desires or view of the Lessee, and without interference or hinderance from Lessee. If the hypothetical development of the airport requires the location of the Lessee, the Lessor agrees to provide a compatible location on which the Lessee shall relocate his/her buildings at the Lessee’s expense. 19. The Lessor reserves the right, but shall not be obligated to the Lessee, to maintain and keep in repair the landing area of the airport and all publicly owned facilities of the airport, together with the right to direct and control all activities of the Lessee in this regard. 20. The Lessor reserves the right to take any action it considers necessary to protect the aerial approaches to the airport against obstruction, together with the right to prevent the Lessee from erecting or permitting to be erected any building or other structure on the airport which, in the opinion of the Lessor, would limit the usefulness of the airport or constitute a hazard to aircraft. 21. This lease shall be subordinate to the provisions of any existing or future agreement between the Lessor and the United States, or the State of Wisconsin relative to the operation or maintenance of the airport, the execution of which has been made or may be required as a condition precedent to the expenditure of federal or state funds for the development of the airport. Furthermore, this lease may be amended to include provisions required by these agreements with the United States of America or the State of Wisconsin. 22. During the time of war or national emergency, the Lessor shall have the right to lease the landing area or any part thereof to the United States government for military or naval use, and if any such lease is executed, the provisions of this instrument, insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of the lease to the government, shall be suspended. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hand and seals this ________day of _____________, 20_____, at Amery Wisconsin. 4 CITY OF AMERY LESSEE Rick Van Blaricom, Mayor Gordon Hammons Alex Mansfield, City Administrator 104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486 Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870 TO: The Common Council of Amery FROM: Alex Mansfield, City Administrator DATE: 1/12/2026 RE: Mobile Food Vendor Ordinance Discussion Summary: On 11/5/2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 19-2025 adopting formal requirements for mobile food vendors operating within the City of Amery. Since then, there has been ideas and concerns brought forward, mainly regarding the requirements to list the City of Amery as an additionally insured and a fire inspection by the Amery Fire Department. Background: In 2025, the City adopted Ordinance No. 19-2025 creating Chapter 294 to establish permitting and operating standards for Mobile Food Establishments (MFEs). The ordinance has helped provide clarity and consistency for vendors operating within the City. Following implementation, staff has identified two provisions that have created unintended challenges for vendors without providing proportional public benefit: • Additional Insured Requirement: Requiring vendors to name the City as an additional insured has proven difficult for some vendors, particularly smaller or out-of-area operators, due to insurance carrier limitations or added costs. The City is already protected through the required hold harmless and indemnification agreement and the vendor’s general liability coverage. • Fire Inspection Language: The ordinance currently requires proof of a passing fire inspection from the Amery Fire Department or “other Fire Department,” which has led to confusion about whether inspections from other jurisdictions are acceptable. Many mobile food vendors are routinely inspected by their home jurisdiction or another Wisconsin fire department with equivalent standards. Staff believes clarifying these provisions will improve consistency, reduce administrative burden, and support local economic activity without compromising health, safety, or liability protections. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council amend Chapter 294 of the City Code to: • Remove the requirement that Mobile Food Establishments name the City of Amery as an additional insured on their liability insurance policies, while retaining the existing minimum coverage requirement and hold harmless agreement. • Clarify the fire safety requirement to explicitly state that a current, passing fire inspection from any recognized fire department jurisdiction is acceptable for purposes of issuing a Mobile Food Establishment permit. Approval of these amendments would streamline the permitting process, improve clarity for vendors, and maintain appropriate safeguards for the City and the public. 104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486 Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870 TO: The Common Council of Amery FROM: Alex Mansfield, City Administrator DATE: 1/13/2026 RE: Downtown Snow Management Equipment Purchase – TID 9 Funding Recommendation Background: Downtown winter maintenance challenges persist along curb bumpouts, curb lines, and pedestrian crossings due to parked vehicles, curb geometry, and limited equipment flexibility. These conditions result in snow accumulation along curbs, reduced accessibility at pedestrian ramps, and recurring ice buildup during freeze–thaw cycles typical of winters. Staff has evaluated options to improve snow and ice control within the downtown area without increasing staffing levels. Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase of an ATV or UTV equipped with a front-mounted snow plow and liquid deicer sprayer, funded using Tax Increment District (TID) No. 9 revenues. The equipment would be used to: • Remove snow from downtown curbs and bumpouts • Clear snow behind parked vehicles where full-size plow trucks are ineffective • Improve access at pedestrian curb ramps and crossings • Apply targeted liquid deicer to reduce ice bonding and refreeze TID Statutory Justification: Under Wis. Stat. §66.1105, tax increment funds may be used for project costs that support: • Public infrastructure improvements • Transportation-related improvements • Activities that enhance access, safety, and economic viability within the district The proposed equipment purchase qualifies as an eligible TID project cost because it: • Improves public right-of-way access and safety within TID 9 • Supports downtown business access and pedestrian circulation • Directly contributes to maintaining the functionality and attractiveness of the district during winter conditions • Is limited in scope to addressing operational challenges unique to the downtown environment Use of TID 9 funds for this purpose aligns with the intent of the district to support downtown vitality and infrastructure performance. Fiscal Impact: The equipment is expected to have a useful life of approximately 5–8 years and may also be used outside the winter season for parks, facilities, and maintenance functions. The liquid deicer/brine resupply would need to be an ongoing expense to ensure that there is a supply available prior to a snow event. 104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486 Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870 ITEM ESTIMATED COST UTV UPGRADES FOR COLD WEATHER $3,000 – $7,000 SNOW PLOW ATTACHMENT (60–72”) $1,700 – $2,000 LIQUID DEICER/BRINE SPRAYER (40–65 GALLON) $650 – $1,100 INITIAL LIQUID DEICER/BRINE SUPPLY $500 – $1,000 TOTAL ESTIMATED CAPITAL COST $5,850 – $11,100 Operational Use: • A full-size plow truck will continue to perform early curb-to-curb plowing. • The ATV/UTV will be deployed for second-pass, detail work once parking resumes. • Operations will focus on curb lines, bumpouts, pedestrian crossings, and ice-prone locations. This approach improves downtown conditions while maintaining current staffing levels. Alternative Option: Staff does not recommend providing City snow removal services to individual downtown businesses in exchange for a fee for the following reasons: • Inconsistent Expectations: Businesses have varying preferences for timing, snow placement, and service level. • Participation and Payment Issues: Some businesses may decline service or refuse to pay, creating inequitable outcomes. • Increased Labor and Administration: Individual agreements would require additional staff time for coordination, billing, and dispute resolution. • Operational Distraction: Fee-based services would divert staff from core public right-of-way responsibilities. Staff recommends focusing City resources on maintaining public infrastructure, rather than private service arrangements. Conclusion: The proposed equipment purchase, funded through TID 9, provides a cost-effective and operationally appropriate solution to recurring downtown winter maintenance challenges. The investment improves safety, accessibility, and downtown functionality while avoiding additional staffing or administrative burdens.
