Dane Schaefer, 3728 South 13th Street. Thank you. You'll have five minutes. Okay. You're going to have to excuse me. I literally just sprinted up all those stairs and everything, so sorry if I'm out of breath this whole time. Good evening. As always, I'd like to start by thanking Common Council, Mayor Van der Steen, city officials for hearing my comments tonight. I believe the debate over the armory is a microcosm of Schwoigen. For years, the leadership of this city has been in constant scramble to spur development through inorganic means. Subsidizing new developments at taxpayers' expense has repeatedly taken precedents over the direct needs of the community and its taxpayers. The idea of improved quality of place, quality of life for the people that live here, or even basic infrastructure repairs and improvements are delayed or ignored to make way for short-sighted attempts to increase our tax base. Tonight, you will vote whether or not to take another step towards taking a publicly historically significant place and its property away from the community demolish it at our expense, and then, if history is any indicator, subsidize a private developer, again at our expense, to build something very few residents will ever benefit from. If you vote in favor of moving forward, you are doing so without even letting the fiscal backers have a say in the matter. Not only is that bad governance, it's honestly shameful. I realize we need to find a way to financially support our public goods. I have a few ideas on how we can do that. I know at least one way that doesn't seem to make a lick of sense. Saying you have a lack of funds for public goods and then spending four million dollars on a new business district and making it a tid, subsidizing a parking garage for a few million in a currently all but deserted part of town for a totally unproven concept because what is essentially a business lobbyist group told you to does not make any sense to me. Would you add a bedroom onto your house that needs a new roof and some new flooring so that your friends can move in with the promise that they'll pay their fair share of rent in five to ten years? If you are struggling to live within your means, you don't stop taking care of your house and family to make speculative investments. You need more tax income and help, sorry, you need more tax income and want to help businesses have an easier time recruiting and retaining talent. Take care of the people that already pay to live here. Seek to improve what we already have. Try to make Sheboygan a place. People are excited to live and work in. If you focus on that, property values will increase and you will get more tax money and new people will be excited to come here, build a home or business and they won't need handouts to do it. So you know how I personally feel about it but I'm not even asking you to give, give me my way. I am simply asking that you let the community decide with a binding referendum to allocate tax money to repair the building. You will be undoubtedly told that tonight is not the demolition of the building but just due diligence. But without a clear picture as to what the property legally can be used for, without a plan as to what the property will be used for and without allowing your constituents to be heard, what's the rush? Thank you. Is there anyone else? No one else this evening. Okay, thank you. Next is Mayor's announcements. At this time I'd like to call our Scouts back up. They're Chase Bowman, Nolan Grow and Cameron Spitz. These young men are graduating from the Cub Scout program and crossing over to Boy Scouts and tonight I have proclamations to present to them. Please come on up. Thank you. A proclamation whereas on February 24th of 2019 Cub Scouts Chase Bowman, Cameron Spitz and Nolan Grow from Cub Scout Pack 3816 will cross the bridge from Cub Scouts to the ranks of Boy Scouts. Whereas the vision of Boy Scouts of America is to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible participating citizen and leaders who are guided by the Scout Oath and Law. And whereas we are gathered here on this occasion to support these individuals as they cross the bridge to become Boy Scouts and recognize the faithful and steady path taken within the Scouting Organization. And whereas Scouting for both boys and girls has been an integral part of our community and as well as a positive influence for many years. I now therefore, Mike Van der Steen, Mayor of the City of Sheboygan, do hereby recognize and congratulate Chase Bowman, Cameron Spitz and Nolan Grow and extend to them our deepest appreciation for all of this dedicated work and wish them the best in all of their future endeavors as they go into Boy Scouts. Chase, Nolan and Cameron. Let's give them a hand. Thank you very much and I look forward to seeing you at your crossing over ceremony. Can you take your seat then? Thank you. With the recent snow we had and the one that we're expecting, I just want to re-emphasize that the council during the last year changed their snow emergency rules. So it's now changed so that we can't actually call a snow emergency. We haven't called one in over a decade, so there's some new rules that the community has to be aware of. So snow and when a snow emergency is called there's no parking on snow emergency routes which are are signed. Billivards call the sacks and dead end streets. Now illegally cars in the past for our normal parking ordinance only were ticketed but if there's a snow emergency called those illegally parked cars can be ticketed and towed and all their cars must be parked on the out or even side of the park for tomorrow and they're going to be okay but again those also could be towed if they're not parked properly. So I just want to emphasize that I know that when we call our first snow emergency there's going to be some surprised people so please do what you can to spread the word. Today is also Martin Luther King Day since 1986. We've celebrated this holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. This holiday reminds us to advocate for social, racial, and ethnic harmony. It's a cornerstone of Dr. King's dream for justice, fairness, and equality to perpetuate the memory of Dr. King and his legacy and achieve future achievements to future generations. And the other thing I'd like to remind you of is that there's 133 days left until we move back into City Hall and have our council meeting on June 3rd. Thank you. Next we'll go on with the consent agenda. Include items 2.2 through 2.13. All the person will. Thank you Mayor. I make a motion to accept and file all ROs, accept and adopt all RCs, and pass all resolutions and ordinances. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the consent agenda or any of the items? Seeing none will the clerk please call the roll. Eight ayes. Motion passes.

I just want to thank everybody for their their commitment and dedication last week for the committee the whole meeting. I think that we had a very good discussion regarding the fire department study. Thank you to the fire chief for all the work that he's done with the Fitchin associates as well to putting this together and just for a point of reference as well we're not just putting this physically on a shelf and forgetting about this. We're going to be integrating a lot of what came out of the study into the committee reports and the committee levels as well too. So I'm still excited to see how we can move forward regarding the information that we gathered from the study. Thank you Mr. Mayor. Thank you for those comments. Any other discussion? Seeing none will the clerk please call the roll. I'm sorry all the person will. Thank you Mayor. I just wanted to expand on what older sorenson had said. We definitely are going to be taking the information that we receive whether it was from the union report that they provided us the Fitch proposal or the 2020 that the fire chief Romus gave us. All three of those were very good presentations and information and they all really mirrored each other and gave us a lot of information to think about review and use in future development and and projects. So again this is not this will not sit on a shelf and get dusty. Thank you. Thank you very much. Seeing no other discussion of the clerk could call the roll. Eight ayes. Motion passes.
