To: Park & Recreation Commission
Topic: Ordinance Amendment and Associated Signage for St John’s Public Pier
From: Stephen Laughland, Ald. D7 & Park & Recreation Commission Chair Person
The park hours are explicitly named by Ordinance in Sec. 36-1 and need to be amended to specifically change
the hours in St John’s Park for use of the new Public Pier.
The ordinance amendment also needs to exclude the restrictions for time of usage associated with St Johns
Northwestern Academy, and to designate a private slip for their exclusive use.
The hours will continue to be that the park, and the pier, are closed between one-half hour after sunset and
7:00 a.m. each day, until the Common Council takes action to amend the Ordinance.
Temporary Signage posted:
And Additional Signage is:
MEMO
Recommended Action
Recommend the Common Council amend the City of Delafield Ordinance in Sec. 36-1 to accomplish the
following:
1. Designate the hours of the public pier in St. John’s Park located on St. John’s Bay to be from 6
a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
2. Limit the duration of occupation of a pier slip to a maximum of three hours.
3. Prohibit overnight parking of boats at the public pier.
4. Designate the southwest slip, closest to the shoreline on the south side of the pier, as reserved
for the exclusive use of St. John’s Northwestern Academy.
5. Exclude St. John’s Northwestern Academy from the hours, duration and overnight restrictions,
to allow full-time 24-hour use of the pier and lake access, matching that of all residents with
lake access.
6. Replace the temporary signage with the appropriate updates pursuant to these changes.

Hausman noted the city is not obligated to clear out the weeds on the lake and it is a service the
city provides that should be appreciated. The committee members thanked Chrapla for the
service they provide.
B. Aquatic Invasive Species – Starry Stonewort in Nagawicka Lake
Hausman reported the WDNR found starry stonewort off the end of the Bleeker Street launch
ramp. Hausman said starry stonewort has been reported in most surrounding lakes and has
only been a real problem at a couple of the lakes. The WDNR only recommends active
management when it tops out and they are not recommending the city does anything about it
this year. Long term, the WDNR will do a survey and it will be part of an update to the aquatic
plant management plan. Hausman said they can apply for grants to help with the cost of the
surveys needed.
C. Review and Acknowledge the Recommended Ordinance Amendment and Associated
Signage for St. John’s Public Pier
Alderman Stephen Laughland, Chair of the Park & Recreation Commission, discussed the
recommended ordinance amendment to Common Council that was included in the ePacket.
Motion by Jerry Dunnick, seconded by Jim Ellsworth, to recommend to the Park & Recreation
Commission, and therefore to Common Council, to support the recommendations made
originally by the Park & Recreation Commission.
All in favor. Motion carried.

Common Council,
Attached is a draft ordinance, as approved by the Public Works Committee, designed to
modernize our municipal code and address the use of new electronic personal
transportation devices in the city. The US DOT has coined the term “Micromobility
Device,” which is used in this new ordinance to cover:
“a bicycle, electric bicycle, electric scooter, or electric personal assistive mobility device
as defined in Wis. Stats. § 340.01. Micromobility device does not include play vehicles or
other motor vehicles.”
This ordinance is authorized under state statute 349.18(2) and 349.237, which allow a
municipality to restrict or prohibit the operation of micromobility devices. The police
department has chosen a behavior based approach to this regulation that treats all legal
devices equally. This was done as our experience thus far with violations and complaints
about these devices have revealed that the devices operating recklessly do not qualify
as micromobility devices and are technically unlicensed and improperly equipped
motorcycles.
After further research the department does believe statutes 349.18 and 349.237 allow
for selective restrictions based on the type of micromobility device, such as prohibiting
only scooters or eBikes, if the council would choose this route.
It is our opinion, however, that this initially measured approach, with the specific
regulation on behavior around pedestrians, is a good balance. If we see continued
issues, we feel this can be revisited.
A map of the sidewalks and paths is also referenced and included.
This updated ordinance replaces the existing bicycle ordinance. The changes include:
1. Reference to statute in lieu of including statute language in ordinance in several
locations.
2. New defined term: Micromobility device
1. This is a local definition that includes bicycles, electric bicycles, electric
scooters, and electric personal assistive mobility devices as they are
defined in statute. It keeps us from having to put all those in each section
as they are all treated the same in the majority of the ordinance. In the
event statute is updated to include more devices in the applicable
statutes, we only have to update it in one spot. The term was originally
created by the US DOT.
3. Official designation of bicycles ways:
1. Bicycle way shall have the meaning defined in Wis. Stats. § 340.01.
Designated bicycle ways shall be noted on the official path and bicycle
way map available online in electronic format and at the Clerk’s office.
4. Operation in bike lanes is unchanged
5. Operation on a bicycle way now references statute instead of including outdated
language – no actual changes to rules other than including the other devices
regulated in statute
6. Operation on sidewalks had significant updates
1. Included express authorization
2. Referenced statutes for overall rules
3. Added local restrictions
1. Not allowed where a building abuts the sidewalk
2. When passing a pedestrian or slower vehicle, micromobility
device riders shall slow to the slowest speed possible to pass the
other person while maintaining control of the micromobility
device.
7. Operation on roadway now references statute
8. Local parking restrictions added
9. Equipment and freeway riding unchanged other than exempting law
enforcement bikes from prohibition on sirens.
Thank you for your feedback and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Landon Nyren
Chief of Police

If the device does not fall into a category above it is likely considered a motor vehicle. These are
prohibited on roadways/bike paths/sidewalks. Many devices available online are not compliant. Email
police@delafieldpolice.gov with questions or clarifications.
Our priority is safety. The police will focus on riding behaviors that present a danger to the rider and
those around them. Police cannot stop someone simply to inspect their device.
Operation On Roadways
• Riders must stay as far to the right as practicable, obey all traffic signs and signals and yield to
motor vehicles when entering a roadway.
Operation On Bike Paths
• Riders must keep right, yield to bicycles and pedestrians already on the path when entering,
give audible signals and use care when passing others, and obey any adjacent road traffic signs.
Electric scooters - Speed is limited to 15 mph unless otherwise posted.
Operation On Sidewalks
• All riders must yield to pedestrians, give an audible signal before passing others, and use extra
caution to avoid accidents and operate at a speed that allows enough reaction time to stop
quickly. Due to the width and use of sidewalks, this is slower than a bike path.
All devices need front headlights and rear reflectors or lights at night.
