management practices for noise mitigation improvements to come into compliance.
18 10-23-2-N, The construction noise requirements from City Code 5-1-6-B-5 have been adopted by reference. City
Code 5-1-6-B-5 states: “The erection (including excavating), demolition, alteration and repair of any building as well
as the operation of any pile driver, excavating equipment, pneumatic hammer, derrick, power or electric hoist,
chain saw, power mower or other residential power garden tools, the use of which is attended by noise which tends
to disturb the comfort, quiet or repose of any reasonable person therein or within the vicinity, shall be permitted
between the hours of six o'clock (6:00) A.M. and nine o'clock (9:00) P.M. on ly...” See:
https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/menomoniewi/latest/menomonie_wi/0 -0-0-3283. The exception adds a
Sunday as a quiet day. The operational noise increase limit of 5 decibels is based upon the City of St. Louis’s
proposed Chapter 26.77. This proposed language requires operation of noise monitoring equipment, quarterly
reporting, and, if operational noise limits are violated, an updated noise mitigation plan and improvements to
attain compliance.
19 10-23-2-N-a, Added legal holidays.
20 10-23-2-N-c, Added additional specificity to ambient noise level monitoring data.
21 10-23-2-N-d, Added requirement for Developer to provide noise monitoring equipment to verify noise
monitoring reports.

language adds the requirement for a traffic impact analysis, construction traffic mitigation measures (i.e.
temporary traffic signals on wires) if necessary, and permanent traffic mitigation measures if necessary. The intent
of these proposed requirements is to reduce traffic impacts on the operation of adjacent roadways.
23 10-23-2-P, This proposed language allows for existing wells to be used for dust control purposes as long as the
withdrawal does not exceed prior withdrawals, requires existing wells to be abandoned and sealed to prevent
operational usage, prohibits construction of new wells to prevent ope rational usage, requires existing on-site
waste disposal system (i.e. septic systems) be removed to prevent operational usage, and prohibits the
construction of new on-site waste disposal systems to prevent operational issues. The intent of these proposed
regulations is to protect wells on adjacent properties.

fueled by natural gas, diesel , propane or any other fuel. For the purposes of this
chapter only, the term “generator” shall not include battery storage, photovoltaic
solar panels, nor wind turbines.27
24 10-23-2-Q, This proposed language is based upon the City of St. Louis’s proposed Chapter 26.77. The intent of
these proposed regulations is to prevent excessive use of generators. These requirements are in addition to
Wisconsin DNR’s requirements for Air Quality Permitting.
25 10-23-2-Q-b, This proposed language is based upon Federal Code §63.6640(f) of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ.
26 10-23-2-Q-e, This proposed language is based upon the City of St. Louis’s proposed Chapter 26.77. The intent of
this regulation is to reduce noise emanating from backup generators.
27 10-23-2-Q-f, This proposed language is intended to define the term “generator”.

The City is authorized to draw from the Road Protection Bond to pay such costs if
Developer does not remit payment within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request
to pay from the City. Following completion of the preceding steps, the remainder
of the road protection bond shall be released.
30 10-23-2-ST, This proposed language adds a requirement to provide a reclamation bond to provide for the

TO: Mayor Crowe & City Council
FROM: David Schofield, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Mayoral Appointments to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee
DATE: September 8, 2026 City Council Meeting
The City received several applications for Mayoral Appointment to the Bicycle & Pedestrian
Advisory Committee. Chairperson David Williams and I recommended appointment of Emi
Stuemke and Nicole Hayes and Mayor Crowe concurred. Emi’s and Nicole’s correspondence of
interest is provided below.
If the City Council concurs, the appropriate motion would be Approve the Mayoral
Appointments of Emi Stuemke and Nicole Hayes to the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (simple majority).
Nicole Hayes:
Hi Megen,
I'm not sure who to contact so I thought I would start with you! I noticed that there is a
vacancy on the bicycle/pedestrian advisory committee and the notice got me thinking
about volunteer opportunities with the city. I do a fair amount of biking and walking for
fun and commuting and I would like help keep Menomonie a biking/walking friendly
community. Does the committee or city advertise volunteer opportunities? I am camping
during the Menomin Meander this year or I would join!
Thanks for your insights!!
Nicole
Emi Stuemke:
Dear David Schofield,
Andrew Hagen mentioned to me that there is currently an opening on the Bicycle /
Pedestrian Advisory Committee and encouraged me to contact you. Monica Berrier has

encouraged me to pursue it as well. After looking at the committee materials, I saw that
the City is particularly interested in finding someone who can bring a stronger pedestrian
and accessibility perspective. I would very much like to be considered.
I have lived in Menomonie and worked at UW–Stout for eleven years without having a
driver’s license, so I experience the city’s transportation infrastructure primarily as a
pedestrian, bicyclist, and transit user. For much of the past eight years, medical
conditions and related injuries have also required me to navigate the city using a walker
or cane. As a result, I have substantial firsthand experience with the limitations, pain
points, and opportunities for improvement in getting around Menomonie without a car.
I’m particularly interested in how pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and accessibility concerns
fit together as parts of one transportation network.
As a Professor of Technical and Professional Communication at UW–Stout, accessibility
and usability are significant parts of my teaching and work. Much of my research focuses
on how systems and designed environments function for different users and how we can
identify practical ways to improve them.
I care a great deal about making Menomonie easier and safer to navigate for people
who do not or cannot depend on a car. I’d be very interested in serving on the committee
and would be happy to talk with you about the opening and what the City is looking for.
Best,
Emi Stuemke
