Council adopts ordinance incorporating state statute 86.025 banning camping on or adjacent to highways
Summary
Greenfield adopted an ordinance to incorporate Wisconsin state statute 86.025, prohibiting camping on or adjacent to public highways, into the city's municipal code.
The Greenfield Common Council voted May 6 to adopt an ordinance incorporating Wisconsin Statute 86.025 — which prohibits camping on or adjacent to public highways — into the Greenfield Municipal Code.
Councilmembers approved the ordinance by voice vote following presentation of the item; a roll call recorded ayes from members present. The measure places the state camping prohibition explicitly within city code language.
City staff characterized the change as an incorporation of the state statute into local code rather than creation of a new local prohibition. Council did not propose local amendments to the statute language during the discussion.
The ordinance was adopted on first consideration at the meeting and will be codified in the Greenfield Municipal Code under the referenced section.
