3014 Shady Circle - Honeybee objection
Sunday, June 7, 2026 9:57:33 AM

Dear Bobbi,
We are writing as a neighbor to formally oppose the proposed beekeeping permit at 3014
Shady Circle. While we appreciate the environmental benefits of beekeeping, this activity is
not permitted under Glacier Ridge neighborhood covenants. Approval from the neighborhood
Architectural Control Committee is required.
Our primary concerns include:
Safety risks to residents, children, guests, and pets from bee stings, especially for those
with severe allergies.
Proximity issues, as bees naturally forage across neighboring yards and outdoor spaces
in our closely spaced community.
Nuisance to normal outdoor activities like gardening, grilling, and recreation.
Potential negative impact on property values.
Given these issues and the clear restrictions in our covenants, we respectfully request that the
Village deny the permit.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Current Resident @ 2519 Twin Pine St, Cross Plains, WI 53528

Thursday, June 11, 2026 6:27:12 PM

Hello,
I am writing in response to the notice regarding a request for a license to keep honeybees at a
local residence.
Please accept this email as my formal written submission to the village. Due to personal and
safety concerns, I would like to formally oppose this request. I also ask that my identity and
this submission be kept confidential.
Thank you for your time and for providing the opportunity to comment on this matter.
Thank you,

SECTION 21.15
(a)

(b)

(c)

Keeping of Honeybees.

Purpose. The Village Board finds that honeybee pollination is important to wildlife
that depend on honeybees for a food source and as pollinators of the plants they
consume. Further, honeybee hives support a healthy urban food supply. Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, honeybees may be kept on any
lot, regardless of zoning, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (b) below.
Limitations.
(1)
No bees, other than honeybees, may be kept or maintained within the Village
limits.
(2)
No honeybee hive shall exceed five (5) cubic feet in volume.
(3)
No more than six (6) honeybee hives may be kept on any single lot.
(4)
No honeybee hive shall be located closer than ten (10) feet from any property
line.
(5)
No honeybee hive shall be located less than twenty-five feet from a principal
building on an abutting lot, and all hives shall be kept in the rear yard of a
lot.
(6)
An ever-present supply of water shall be provided for all honeybee hives.
(7)
A flyway barrier, at least six (6) feet in height, shall shield any part of a
property line of a lot in different ownership that is within twenty-five (25)
feet of a honeybee hive. The flyway barrier must effectively direct bees to
fly up and over the barrier when flying in the direction of the barrier. The
flyway barrier shall consist of a wall, fence, dense vegetation or combination
thereof, and it shall be positioned to transect both legs of a triangle extending
from an apex at the hive to each end point of the part of the property line to
be shielded. The barrier shall further comply with any applicable fence
regulations contained within this Code of Ordinances.
(8)
If honeybees are to be kept on a lot, by a person other than the lot owner, the
lot owner must give consent in writing to the keeping of honeybees on the
lot as part of the application set forth in (c) below.
License Required.
(1)
Any person who keeps honeybee hives in the Village shall obtain an annual
license prior to January 1 of each year or within 30 days of first acquiring the
honeybee hives.
(2)
Any person requesting a license shall file an application for a license with
the Village Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer and pay an application fee that
shall be established by resolution of the Village Board. The application fee
shall be nonrefundable and shall be established to defray the cost of
inspecting the applicant’s premises for compliance with the terms and
conditions of this section.
(3)
Upon receipt of an application for a license to house honeybee hives (or a
subsequent renewal), the Village Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer shall notify
all residents within 200 feet of the applicant's address of the application being

Page 46 of 92

(d)

filed. If more than 50% of the residents within 200 feet of the applicant’s
property object in writing within 14 days of being notified, the license shall
be denied by the Village Board. Otherwise, the application for the license
shall be heard by the Village Board at the first regularly scheduled meeting
of the Board following the conclusion of the fourteen-day notification period.
(4)
If the Village Board grants a license as set forth in Subsection (c)(3) above,
the applicant shall pay the license fee within five days of approval by the
Village Board. The fee for the license shall be established by resolution of
the Village Board, and shall be in addition to the application fee. The Village
Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer shall collect the fee and shall assess a late fee
of $5.00 per day from the owner if the owner fails to obtain a license within
the five-day period.
License Revocation. If a complaint is made by anyone to a Village officer that the
terms of the license issued to the owner or the applicant are being violated in any
way, in addition to the penalties set forth in Section 21.14 of this Code, the Village,
on its own motion, may seek to revoke the license of the owner or occupant. To
revoke the license, the Village Board shall hold a hearing. At the hearing, the Village
and the owner/occupant will be allowed to present testimony as to why the license
should be or should not be revoked. Following testimony, the Village Board shall
make its decision. The Village shall give at least 14 days written notice of the
hearing to the owner or occupant, at the owner’s or occupant’s last known address.

Investment Policy
Policy #2014-01
Purpose
The purpose of these investment guidelines is to formalize the framework for the Village’s daily
banking and investment activities. The guidelines are intended to be broad enough to allow the
Investment Officials to function properly within the parameters of responsibility and authority,
yet specific enough to adequately safeguard the Village’s accounts. The primary objectives of
this policy, in order of priority, are safety, liquidity and yield.
This policy shall apply to all cash and investments of the Village, including all funds, excluding the
investment of employees' retirement funds. Unless prohibited by law or contract, the Village
may pool cash from several different funds to maximize returns. Funds subject to additional
federal, state and/or contractual laws and regulations will be invested according to those laws
and regulations. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on the pro rata
portion of each fund. The investment income apportioned to the Library Fund, Debt Service Fund,
and TID will be accorded to the General Fund.For the purposes of financial statements, all cash
and investments with an original maturity of three months or less will be considered cash and
cash equivalents. Investments will be reported at fair values, based on quoted market values.
Application
The investment program shall be operated in conformance with federal, state, local, and other
legal requirements as applicable. The Village Administrator and Finance Director are the Village’s
Investment Officials. The Investment Officials will establish internal control procedures over cash
and investment accounts. All purchases and sales of investments will be authorized by the Village
Administrator, executed by the Finance Director and reviewed during the annual Village Audit
process.
The standard of prudence to be used by Village Investment Officials shall be the "prudent person"
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment
Officials acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising
due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or
market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion
and the liquidity and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this
policy.
The "prudent person" standard states that, "Investments shall be made with judgment and care,
under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived."
Employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that
could conflict with proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their

Page 66 of 92

ability to make impartial investment decisions. All Investment Officials shall abide by the Village
Policy #1.03 (Conflicts of Interest) and Chapter 6 (Code of Ethics) of Village Ordinances.
Safety, Credit Risk and Authorized Investments
Safety and preservation of principal in the overall portfolio is the foremost investment objective.
To ensure the safety of the Village’s deposits and investments, the Village’s policy includes
sections on what investments are suitable, on how balances are protected and provides
guidelines for institutions to be used.
Credit risk is the risk that the Village would lose money due to the default of a bond or securities
issuer. The Village reduces our exposure to this risk by restricting our allowed investments. The
Village’s investments are restricted in accordance with Wisconsin statutes section 66.0603 (see
appendix A). The Village chooses to further limit our cash and investments to the following:
1.

Checking and saving accounts;

Insured cash sweep accounts;

Local government investment pools either state-administered or developed
through joint powers statutes and other intergovernmental agreement legislation,
such as the Local Government Investment Pool and Wisconsin Investment Series
Cooperative;

Certificates of deposits (fully FDIC insured for principal and/or fully collateralized
as described below) and certificates of deposit purchased through the Certificate
of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS);

5.
Money market mutual funds regulated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and whose portfolios consist of only of dollar-denominated securities;
6.

Bonds and securities issued by the federal government or a commission, board or
other instrumentality of the federal government;

Bonds of any county, city, drainage district, technical college, village, town or
school district of this state;

Commercial paper if rated in the highest tier (e.g. A-1, P-1, AAA) by a nationally
recognized rating agency; and

Overnight repurchase agreements with a public depository as defined in statute
34.01 (5), provided that the agreement is secured by bonds or securities issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the federal government and held by a
third party custodian. The Village shall be informed of the specific collateral and

Page 67 of 92

investments in the repurchase agreements and the agreement shall be
collateralized at 102% of the value of the Village’s investment.
10.

Prohibited Investments - Village funds will not be invested in derivative type
investments such as collateralized mortgage obligations, strips, floaters, etc.
Certain types of such investments may qualify under state statute but are not
deemed appropriate for use by the Village.

The Village will engage in diversification of investments (type, length of maturity and institution)
to the extent practicable considering yield, collateralization, investment costs and available
bidders. The Village will get quotes from Authorized Financial Institutions whenever seeking
investment opportunities for funds as deemed necessary by the Investment Officials.
Concentration of credit risk is the risk that losses become substantial due to the magnitude of
the Village’s investment in a single issuer. The Village shall make an effort to reduce this risk
whenever possible.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk is the risk of default by the holding institution, i.e. the bank holding cash or
securities. The Village shall reduce this risk by ensuring substantially all funds are either insured,
collateralized or registered to the Village. The terms “substantially all funds” recognizes that
there are times when minimal amounts may not be protected in this manner, such as with cash
on hand or in cases where the market value exceeds the face value of an investment. This risk is
also reduced through the Village’s selection of authorized financial institutions.
1.

Village deposits will be protected through insurance:
a.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) currently protects
deposits up to $250,000 for checking and $250,000 for savings accounts.

The Wisconsin State Deposit Guarantee Fund protects public deposits
under Statutes 20.144(1)(a) and 34.08(2) up to $400,000, after FDIC
coverage, for any one public depositor in any individual public depository.

Village deposits in excess of insurance will be protected through collateral:
a.

With a market valued of at least 102% of the uninsured balances;

Consisting of bonds or securities issued by the federal government, its
agencies or instrumentalities or by any county, city, drainage district,
technical college, village, town or school district; and

Held by an independent third party custodian with whom the Village has a
current custodial agreement.
Collateral agreements are to prohibit the release of pledged assets without the Village’s
authorization, however substitution of like collateral (value and type) is allowed. The

Page 68 of 92

market value increases on FDIC insured certificates of deposit are exempt from this
requirement.
3.

Proof of Village ownership of securities will be protected by:
a.

Securities will be registered through the Direct Registration System in the
Village’s name.

Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) protects investors by
obtaining the securities registered in the Village’s name in the event of a
failed brokerage firm. After securities have been obtained by the SIPC,
other balances are covered through SIPC protection up to $500,000
maximum per customer, including $250,000 in cash balances.

Trades of marketable securities will be executed by delivery vs. payment
(DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible financial
institution prior to the release of funds.

Authorized Financial Institutions
The Village Finance Director shall select and maintain a list of financial institutions to be utilized
by the Village. The list of qualified institutions shall be presented to the Village Board for approval
on a periodic basis. As required under State Statutes, the Village will approve institutions as
public depositories separately through a Village Board resolution. For a financial institution to
be considered for use by the Village, they must have:
1.

Provided proof of state registration;

Completed a signed certificate of having read, understood and agreeing to comply
with the Village’s investment policy (included in Appendix B)

Provide evidence of participation in FIDC and/or SIPC programs, such as FDIC
certificate number and specific name of registration.

A Safe and Sound rating of 3 (performing) or better according to the site
www.bankrate.com. Another industry used rating system may be substituted, by
Investment Officials or by Village Board approval.

Meet the FDIC’s threshold to be considered a well-capitalized bank:
a.

Total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or higher;

Has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% of greater; and

Has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater

Page 69 of 92

Broker/dealers will provide their most recent Broker check report from the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc (FINRA) along with all Central
Registration Depository (CRD) numbers.

Safekeeping institutions will also provide a copy of their report on internal controls
as applicable to custody procedures.

The Village investment policy requires items 3-7 be reviewed by the Finance Director-Treasurer
or designee annually for financial institutions doing more than $1.0 million in investment
purchases, deposits or safekeeping balances. Items 3-7 will be reviewed by the Village
Administrator/Clerk-Treasurer or designee at a minimum of every three years for all other
authorized intuitions.
The Village may enter into a contract with one or more investment advisors only upon approval
of the Village Board. If used, the selection of an investment advisor will be based on the
utilization of request for proposal, interviews and reference reviews.
Liquidity
The Investment Officials shall ensure that we have adequate funds in usable form to be able to
meet ongoing business needs that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet
anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be
anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale
markets (dynamic liquidity).
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in the market interest rates will negatively affect the fair
value of an investment. Generally, the fair value of longer maturity investments is more sensitive
to changes in the market interest rate. The Village shall mitigate this risk by:
1.

Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities
on the open market prior to maturity.

Limiting the maturities of all investments when purchased to less than five (5)
years.

Laddering investments to meet cash flow needs.

Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return
throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints
and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety
and liquidity objectives described above. The core of the Village’s investment strategy is limited

Page 70 of 92

to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being
assumed. Securities shall generally be held until maturity with the following exceptions:
1.

A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.

A security sale would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.

Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

Given the passive nature of the Village’s investment strategy, appropriate benchmarks for
comparison include: the average Federal Funds rate, local government investment pool rate, and
average return on the U.S. Treasury Bills.
Policy Considerations
The Village Finance Director or designee shall provide a cash and investment report to the Village
Board at least quarterly. The report shall summarize investments held and transactions made.
It shall also discuss the current portfolio in terms of maturity, rates of return, market values and
other features.
All bank and investment accounts will be reconciled monthly. All investments will be marked to
market monthly and unrealized gains and/or losses will be included with the investment income
and return calculations.
Any investments currently held that do not meet the guidelines of this policy when it is adopted
shall be exempted from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation such monies
shall be reinvested only as provided in this policy.
The investment policy shall be reviewed every three years by the Finance Advisory &
Enhancement Committee or sooner at the discretion of the Village Board, Village Administrator,
or Finance Director.
Investment Policy #2014-01 will take effect immediately upon adoption by the Village Board for
the Village of Cross Plains.

Page 74 of 92

FUNDS: A fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and
other financial resources, together with all related liabilities and residuals or equities, which are

used by the Village include the General Fund (main operating fund), Capital Fund, TID Fund,
Water Utility, or Sewer Funds
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and rapidly into cash without a

LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL (LGIP): The aggregate of all funds from political
subdivisions that are placed in the custody of the State Treasurer for investment and
reinvestment.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or

PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard that states the trustee may invest in a security
if it is one that would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is seeking
preservation of capital and a reasonable income.
PUBLIC DEPOSITORY: Wisconsin State Statute 34.01(5) states the governing board of each public
depositor shall, by resolution, designate one or more public depositories, organized and doing
business under the laws of this state or federal law and located in this state, in which the
treasurer of the governing board shall deposit all public moneys received by him or her and
specify whether the moneys shall be maintained in time deposits subject to the limitations of s.
66.0603(1m), demand deposits, or savings deposits and whether a surety bond or other security
shall be required to be furnished under s. 34.07 by the public depository to secure the repayment
of such deposits. "Public depository" means a federal or state credit union, federal or state
savings and loan association, state bank, savings and trust company, federal or state savings
bank, or national bank in this state which receives or holds any public deposits or the local
government pooled- investment fund.
RATE OF RETURN: The yield obtainable on a security based on its purchase price or its current
market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity on a bond the current income return.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these securities to an
investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The security

Page 75 of 92

“buyer” in effect lends the “seller” money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the
agreement are structured to compensate him for this. Dealers use RP extensively to finance their
positions. Exception: When the Fed is said to be doing RP, it is lending money, that is, increasing
bank reserves.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby securities and
valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank’s vaults for protection.
TREASURY BILLS: A non-interest bearing discount security issued by the U.S. Treasury to finance
the national debt. Most bills are issued to mature in three months, six months, or one year.

Challenges Identiﬁed:
Parking & Traffic Flow
Peak attendance periods created congestion in high-traffic areas near event venues and
downtown businesses.

Volunteer Coordination:
Some activity stations experienced volunteer shortages during peak operating hours.

Weather Preparedness:
Outdoor programming remained vulnerable to changing spring weather conditions,
highlighting the need for additional contingency planning.

Communication:
Some attendees reported difficulty locating schedules, parking areas, and event maps
during busy periods.

Lessons Learned:
Earlier volunteer recruitment and scheduling would improve staffing coverage.
Additional signage and digital maps would enhance visitor navigation.
Expanded parking coordination and shuttle options should be considered for future events.
Increased social media updates and centralized event communication would improve
attendee awareness.
Partnerships with conservation and recreation organizations added meaningful
educational value and should continue.

Conclusion:

cultural assets of Cross Plains. Continued improvements in logistics, communication, and
volunteer coordination will further enhance future events and sustain Trout Days as a
signature regional tradition.
No signiﬁcant costs were incurred by our department in support of this event. The only
expenses associated with Village Hall involvement were staff time related to processing the
alcohol license and special event permit applications. The police department had to pay
an officer 4 hours of overtime to help cover the event. No information or cost data was
received from the Parks Department or the Public Facilities Department regarding their
involvement or expenditure related to the event.

Stake Holder Input:
The Trout Days Planning Committee expressed appreciation to all Village departments,
emergency service agencies, volunteers, sponsors, businesses, nonproﬁt organizations,
and community members whose coordination and support contributed to the successful
execution of Trout Days 2026. The event marked a signiﬁcant milestone for the Village,
highlighted by the successful activation of the new pavilion area, expanded Creekside
Music Fest programming, enhanced family and youth activities, increased vendor and art
fair participation, and the ﬁrst year of expanded beer garden operations. Attendance and
participation exceeded expectations throughout the weekend, while overall event
operations, public safety coordination, and community engagement remained strong.
Organizers identiﬁed several key successes, including strong collaboration among
stakeholders, effective shuttle and road closure operations, positive activation along the
creek corridor and downtown area, increased regional tourism exposure, and strong
economic activity for local businesses. Several businesses reportedly identiﬁed Trout Days
as among their busiest days of the year. The committee also noted that Trout Days
continues evolving into a marquee regional event that is helping establish the ﬁrst weekend
in May as a destination weekend in southern Wisconsin.
The committee identiﬁed several operational improvements for future events, including
enhanced parking and directional signage, additional traffic control equipment, expanded
restroom and electrical infrastructure, improved stage and concession coordination, and
continued evaluation of vendor and pedestrian ﬂow layouts. Additional coordination
requests with the Village included earlier public notiﬁcation regarding closures, temporary
municipal parking signage, and continued collaboration regarding infrastructure, utilities,
traffic management, and long-term event scalability.
Looking ahead to 2027, organizers indicated the focus will remain on operational
reﬁnement and infrastructure improvements rather than signiﬁcantly expanding the size or
entertainment programming of the event. Priorities include improving parking and traffic
management, enhancing public safety coordination, increasing volunteer and staffing
efficiencies, and maintaining a high-quality attendee experience while ensuring Trout Days
remains a safe, sustainable, community-centered event for Cross Plains and the Driftless
region.

First responders reported that Trout Days 2026 and the event’s expanded programming
were overall very successful from a public safety perspective. Event operations proceeded
smoothly with strong community interaction and no signiﬁcant public safety incidents
reported throughout the weekend.
Traffic management remained the primary operational concern identiﬁed by responders.
Several vehicles bypassed the secondary traffic blockade intended for resident access,
although no vehicles proceeded beyond the ﬁnal controlled area due to law enforcement
intervention and additional barriers. Responders recommended earlier placement of
additional barricades near the apartment driveway entrance and continued review of traffic
control points near the coffee house area, where only limited physical barriers were
present. The use of a vehicle blockade near the dealership was viewed positively, although
responders recommended ensuring vehicle owners or keys remain readily accessible in the
event emergency vehicle access is needed.
First responders also noted limited marijuana use associated with the music events,
although law enforcement presence appeared effective in discouraging active use. No
issues involving alcohol overconsumption or unauthorized carry-in beverages were
reported during the event.
Emergency management resources, including an ATV provided for potential response
needs, were available but ultimately not utilized due to favorable weather conditions and
manageable operational demands. EMS staffing included a second staffed unit for the
event; however, a separate minor village call temporarily drew all event EMS personnel
away from the venue, highlighting the importance of continued staffing evaluation for
future events.
Overall, ﬁrst responders characterized Trout Days 2026 as a well-managed and positive
community event with strong public engagement and effective coordination among
emergency service personnel.
The Parks Department noted that Trout Days 2026 and the expanded event programming
were successfully managed from both a public safety and operational standpoint. Overall
event operations proceeded smoothly with strong community engagement and no
signiﬁcant safety incidents reported throughout the weekend. Emergency response
resources and staffing were generally effective, and the event provided positive interaction
opportunities between ﬁrst responders and the community. Limited marijuana use
associated with music programming was observed but appeared to be effectively
discouraged through law enforcement presence. No concerns involving alcohol
overconsumption or unauthorized carry-in beverages were reported during the event.
