From: David Lothspeich

To: Susan Franzen <sfranzen@vi.williamsbay.wi.gov>; Adam Jaramillo <ajaramillo@vi.williamsbay.wi.gov>
Subject: FW: Ordinance Creating Section 12-14 Concerning Tourism Commission
Adam and Susan,
Please see Attorney Schroeder’s review below. The attached draft ordinance is revised to reflect the following
corrections highlighted noted below as corrections and as they are not policy decisions for the Village Board.
1. I recommend the ordinance add that the Tourism Commission is subject to open meetings and
public records.
2. Section 1 B - the WI Statute referenced should be 66.0615 I believe, not 66.0175.
3. Section 1 C 3 - This definition is inconsistent with both the Village code and State statute
definitions. I suggest referencing either the Village Code 46-11 or the WI Statute definitions 77.52
(2) (a) 1. 46-11
4. Section 1 D (1) - suggest revising to "Seventy (70) percent of the room tax revenue collected by the
village…” With the recent update to how room tax revenue is calculated, I don’t think referencing
sales price receipts is necessary.
5. Section 1 D (2) - do we want to consider adding that capital improvements exceeding $X require
Village Board approval or is the Board approving every expenditure?
6. Section 1 D (3) - needs clarity on what “monitor the collection of room tax” means - I brought this
up at our prior discussion of this ordinance and am not sure what role the Commission will play in
this.
7. Section 1 D (4) - I suggest adding a competitive bid / RFP process for selecting the 501(c) (6)
tourism entity.
8. Should we require the tourism entity to complete a public tourism impact analysis?
9. Section 1 D (5) - should the Board determine eligibility, matching requirements, scoring criteria
and conflict of interest recusal rules?
10. Section 1 D (6) and (7) - the ordinance is missing the annual certification of how funds were spent
requirement (66.0615 1m (d) (4)) - the ordinance only references quarterly reports. For (6) I
suggest the Village receives a report on measurable outcomes.
11. Section E (1) - needs a statement regarding removal; consider staggered terms? Limit
representation from a single entity? Commission members abstain from voting on matters in
which they have a direct financial interest.
12. Section E (2) - prefer adding a local small business representative to the Commission and a
minimum # of years in the Village hotel/motel industry.
13. If approved, we’ll need to amend WB Ordinance 46-11 C from “...70% to be forwarded to a
tourism entity for use…” to “…70% to be forwarded to the Tourism Commission created under
Section 12-14 …"

AƩached you will find the proposed ordinance creaƟng SecƟon 12-14 concerning tourism commission. I have corrected
the statutory reference on page 1 in SubsecƟon B. I have also corrected SubsecƟon D. (7) found on page 3 so that the
first line reads "The Tourism Commission shall annually provide the Village…".

Subject: Proposed Ordinance Creating Tourism Commission
Dave,
Page 22 of 117

The following are my responses to the comments and quesƟons posed by Trustee Franzen regarding the
current version of the proposed SecƟon 12-14 creaƟng the tourism commission.
1. I recommend the ordinance add that the Tourism Commission is subject to open meeƟngs and public
records.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board but I agree that the tourism commission would be subject to
the open meeƟngs and public records statutes.
2. SecƟon 1 B – the WI Statute referenced should be 66.0615 I believe, not 66.0175.
Response. I agree to change the reference to secƟon 66.0615.
3. SecƟon 1 C 3 – this definiƟon is inconsistent with both the Village Code and State Statute definiƟons. I
suggest referencing either Village Code 46-11 or the WI Statute definiƟons 77.52 (2) (a) 1. 46-11.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board. The current language is substanƟally the same as secƟon
77.52 (2) (a) 1. Wis. Stats. The definiƟon can certainly be replaced with a reference
to the language of the statute.
4. SecƟon 1 D (1) - suggest revising to "Seventy (70) percent of the room tax revenue collected by the
village..." With the recent update to how room tax revenue is calculated, I don't think referencing sales price
receipts is necessary.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board. The wording can be changed to "Seventy (70) percent of the
room tax revenue collected…".
5. SecƟon 1 D (2) – do we want to consider adding that capital improvements exceeding $XX require
Village Board approval or is the Board approving every expenditure?
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board.
6. SecƟon 1 D (3) - needs clarity on what "monitor the collecƟon of room tax" means - I brought this up at
our prior discussion of this ordinance and am not sure what role the Commission will play in this.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board. The current language restates the statutory language found in
Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0615 (1m) c. 5.
7. SecƟon 1 D (4) - I suggest adding a compeƟƟve bid / RFP process for selecƟng the 501(c) (6) tourism
enƟty.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board, but I would note that Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0615 (1m) (b)1.,
implies that if a tourism enƟty exists in the village, the commission must work
with that enƟty.
8. Should we require the tourism enƟty to complete a public tourism impact analysis?
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board.
9. SecƟon 1 D (5) - should the Board determine eligibility, matching requirements, scoring criteria and
conflict of interest recusal rules?
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board.

10. SecƟon 1 D (6) and (7) - the ordinance is missing the annual cerƟficaƟon of how funds were spent
requirement (66.0615 lm (d) (4)) - the ordinance only references quarterly reports. For (6) I suggest the Village
receives a report on measurable outcomes.
Response. I agree that it would be appropriate to insert specific language regarding an annual cerƟficaƟon
into subsecƟon (1m) (d) (4). Regarding requiring a report on measurable
outcomes, that is a maƩer for the village board.
11. SecƟon E (1) - needs a statement regarding removal; consider staggered terms Limit representaƟon
from a single enƟty? Commission members abstain from voƟng on maƩers in which they have a direct
financial interest.
Response. Regarding statement for removal, that can be added but I would note removal would also be
addressed by Wis. Stat. Sec. 17.13 (1). Regarding staggered terms, I would
note that per statute all of the terms are for one year only. See subsecƟon (1m) (c) 3. Regarding limiƟng
representaƟon from a single enƟty, that is a village board maƩer. Regarding
commission members abstaining from voƟng on maƩers in which they have a direct financial interest, that can
be included but it is already addressed in Wis. Stat. Sec. 19.59 (1) (c)
and SecƟon 40-4C. of the Code of Ordinances.
12. SecƟon E (2) - prefer adding a local small business representaƟve to the Commission and a minimum #
of years in the Village hotel/motel industry.
Response. This is a maƩer for the village board.
13. If approved, we'll need to amend WB Ordinance 46-11 C from "...70% to be forwarded to a tourism
enƟty for use..." to "...70% to be forwarded to the Tourism Commission created under SecƟon 12-14 ..."
Response. Agree that the suggested change to SecƟon 46-11 C. would be necessary.

Subject: RE: Ordinance #2026-O-03 Tourism Commission
Susan,
No apologies necessary and hope that your great niece had a great birthday party.
I will have to work with Attorney Schroeder to make the technical changes to the draft ordinance. Many of your
questions are policy decisions for you and the board to discuss and come up with direction on. In terms of the
timing for the revenues, I believe that the Village should start collecting room tax sooner than four years. In terms
of the WBBA, at the least the conversations leading up to this point, there was not any discussion of reducing
funding for the WBBA but their funding would be decided by the Tourism Commission. From a timing perspective,
having the Tourism Commission established and for them to have everything in place prior to the funds arriving
would be ideal. I would guess that the Commission could take six months or more to get established.

Subject: Ordinance #2026-O-03 Tourism Commission
Hi Dave,
Apologies for the late questions as I was traveling for work through late Saturday and attended one of my
great niece’s 6th birthday party yesterday.
Here are some thoughts and questions on the Tourism Commission ordinance on the BZO Committee
agenda for tonight.
I am concerned about the impact to the Williams Bay Business Association of the decision to move these
funds from them to a commission. As the anticipated tax revenue from Topography will likely not be
significant until operation year 4, I believe the creation of the Commission at this time is premature.
Waiting at least two years to develop the Commission seems reasonable and allows the Village Board to
create a tourism strategic plan to guide the Commission’s efforts.
Here are some additional thoughts and questions. I don’t expect answers by tonight’s meeting.
1. I recommend the ordinance add that the Tourism Commission is subject to open meetings and
public records.
2. Section 1 B - the WI Statute referenced should be 66.0615 I believe, not 66.0175.
3. Section 1 C 3 - This definition is inconsistent with both the Village code and State statute
definitions. I suggest referencing either the Village Code 46-11 or the WI Statute definitions 77.52
(2) (a) 1. 46-11
4. Section 1 D (1) - suggest revising to "Seventy (70) percent of the room tax revenue collected by the
village…” With the recent update to how room tax revenue is calculated, I don’t think referencing
sales price receipts is necessary.
5. Section 1 D (2) - do we want to consider adding that capital improvements exceeding $X require
Village Board approval or is the Board approving every expenditure?
Page 25 of 117
6
6. Section 1 D (3) - needs clarity on what “monitor the collection of room tax” means - I brought this
up at our prior discussion of this ordinance and am not sure what role the Commission will play in
this.
7. Section 1 D (4) - I suggest adding a competitive bid / RFP process for selecting the 501(c) (6)
tourism entity.
8. Should we require the tourism entity to complete a public tourism impact analysis?
9. Section 1 D (5) - should the Board determine eligibility, matching requirements, scoring criteria
and conflict of interest recusal rules?
10. Section 1 D (6) and (7) - the ordinance is missing the annual certification of how funds were spent
requirement (66.0615 1m (d) (4)) - the ordinance only references quarterly reports. For (6) I
suggest the Village receives a report on measurable outcomes.
11. Section E (1) - needs a statement regarding removal; consider staggered terms? Limit
representation from a single entity? Commission members abstain from voting on matters in
which they have a direct financial interest.
12. Section E (2) - prefer adding a local small business representative to the Commission and a
minimum # of years in the Village hotel/motel industry.
13. If approved, we’ll need to amend WB Ordinance 46-11 C from “...70% to be forwarded to a
tourism entity for use…” to “…70% to be forwarded to the Tourism Commission created under
Section 12-14 …"
Thanks,
Susan

RE: Pier Expansion Application Review
Property Owner: Robert Forbis
Property Address: 132 Conference Point Road
DNR Application: #IP-SE-2025-65-03572
The proposed project is for a 3-slip pier with canopies over each slip. The proposed pier would
require the placement of 14 new cribs, which would be approximately 1031 sq ft of cribs. The
overall length of the pier will be approximately 100 feet.
The WI DNR has approved the project, and a copy of the permit is included with the Village
application.
The proposed modification is in compliance with Section 281-5.F(2) regarding the 12.5’ distance
from riparian right lines. The Zoning Department recommends approval of the proposed Pier
Permit.
Respectfully submitted,
Allison Schwark

Steel Piers
GLEA has growing concerns regarding the increasing use of permanent steel piers around
Geneva Lake. Unlike traditional seasonal wooden piers that are removed annually, steel
structures often remain in place year-round and are anchored deeper in the lakebed. This
permanence has the potential to alter nearshore habitat, increase shading impacts on
aquatic vegetation, affect natural shoreline processes, and contribute to long-term
impacts to the lake, the ecology of the lake (affect fish), and to the lakefront.
Currently, the Wisconsin DNR does not have specific restrictions related to pier depth or
permanence of steel structures. GLEA is engaged in discussions with the DNR to better
understand the regulatory framework and to explore whether municipalities around the
lake have authority to adopt more protective local standards. These conversations are
focused on ensuring that shoreline infrastructure balances private access with the long-
term ecological health of Geneva Lake.
AIS Signage
Current signage at boat launches around the lake is often mounted high on light posts and
positioned out of direct sightlines, making it easy for users to overlook critical Clean Boats
Clean Waters messaging. For signage to be effective, it must be at eye level, prominent,
and clearly visible where boaters are preparing to launch and load. Improved, highly visible
signs would allow launch attendants to easily point to the guidance while engaging with
users, reinforcing inspection, removal, and drainage practices in real time. Clear,
accessible signage is a simple but essential tool to strengthen compliance and protect the
lake from aquatic invasive species. GLEA will purchase movable sign bases and provide
two AIS signs so that users at launches can see the signage as they enter and leave the
lake.
