ORDINANCES REPEALING AND RECREATING ARTICLE VI., ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE XII, ARTICLE XV, AND ARTICLE XVIII CHAPTER 9 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF APPLETON.
(Board of Health – 05-20-2026)
The Common Council of the City of Appleton does ordain as follows:
On May 20, 2026, the Appleton Common Council repealed and recreated certain sections of Chapter 9 of the Municipal Code of the City of Appleton relating to licensing, inspections, and enforcement by the City of Appleton Department of Public Health. Specifically, the sections related to Retail Food Establishments; Hotels, Motels, and Tourist Rooming Houses; Bed and Breakfast Establishments; Safety, Maintenance, and Operation of Public Pools and Water Attractions; Recreational and Educational Camps; Campgrounds; and Tattoo and Body Piercing were all repealed and recreated.
The City of Appleton Department of Public Health is an agent program for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection ("ATCP") and the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services ("SPS") for licensing and inspections for the sections affected by this ordinance. The recreation of these sections of Chapter 9 had minimal substantive changes. The changes more accurately reflect current requirements contained in Wisconsin Statutes and Administrative Codes related to those sections and remove obsolete and redundant sections. The changes adopting State laws will not require revisions to the Municipal Code of the City of Appleton if and when State law changes. The recreated sections also provide uniformity and consistency by reorganizing the structure of the Municipal Code of the City of Appleton and creating more uniform and consistent appeals procedures throughout the recreated sections.
The State laws adopted in this ordinance include ATCP Chapters 72, 73, 75, 76, 78, and 79, and SPS Chapter 221. Except as noted otherwise, the recreated sections follow the same structure: definitions; application for license and fees; severability; adoption of State laws; summary suspension (if applicable); license denial, suspension, revocation, and conditional licensing; correction of violations and citations; emergency powers of Health Officer; and appeals. Due to minor differences between the ATCP and SPS Administrative Codes, Tattoo and Body piercing follows a similar, but not identical, structure.
This summary is intended to satisfy publication notice requirements of the ordinances' passage and the full text of these ordinances (39-26, 40-26, 41-26, 42-26, 43-26) may be obtained from the Office of the City Clerk, Sixth Floor, 100 North Appleton Street, Appleton, WI 54911, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., by calling the City Clerk's Office at 920-832-6443 and may also be viewed online as part of the June 3, 2026 Common Council Agenda found at www.appletonwi.gov.
