He's running the south pier festival. His number is four five three four thousand I'm looking to get some people from the city and those who just want to have some fun down there to help out with The cause it's a good cause and it's it's great for our city That's all I have now with Jane Kittleson all their older person Kittleson Thank You mayor I guess I'd like to ask Aaron Brault to come on up and he's going to speak a little bit to us about the non-motorized transportation Issue that has been he's making a presentation I believe tomorrow evening to the county and so this is perfect timing and then he's also got another Presentation to make to the city so we'll let Aaron begin. Thank you. I guess I don't have a Presentation, but just a few words to say so Thanks for giving me time and thank you all for your support over the last few years I handed out some handouts before the the meeting started what you see there as gene mentioned We have once a year. We give a presentation to our county board. So I printed out you guys a copy Sort of gives you a rundown of where we've allocated all of our funds Where things are at as far as timeline that kind of thing There's a few examples from around the county not only shabuagan of certain projects that we're working on The other one the orange one there have been six projects that have been completed That just gives a brief overview of those projects Most of them I'd consider Soft projects that are not really infrastructure projects The main reason gene asked me to come tonight was to talk about bike and walk to work week That was May 16th through May 22nd We had an employer challenge a county-wide employer challenge where we had 20 employers throughout over 20 employers throughout the county participate Nemsha had about 15 percent of their workforce participate Rockline won the overall Award for private employers what we do is we take total mileage divided by a number of employees and come up with a ratio And whoever has the highest ratio wins. They got a trophy that shabuagan south or no shabuagan north's Shop class made for them, and it'll be a traveling trophy that goes to the winning business every year So and then we also as last year had a public employer challenge last year That was sort of our first shot at running something like this where we have SASD county and city employees basically do the same thing total mileage divided by number of employees and Unfortunately from the county standpoint the the city won again. So that's why I'm here Just briefly So we have the whole challenge and then we also have individual awards We have longest commute by a biker longest commute by a walker most mileage by a biker most mileage by a walker SASD won all those awards There was a gentleman Brian Hendrickson teaches at south biked in 32 miles a couple times that week from west of Plymouth longest commute by a walker was seven point eight miles Most mileage was a hundred and twenty two point five and then most mileage by a walker was thirty five miles Then looking at I guess we also ran the same challenge for the the private employers We had a fellow bike in from two rivers Works at Aurora and then there was a fella from Kohler who jogged from Hingham to Kohler company a couple times that week And then the most mileage by a biker was Debbie posowitz She biked a hundred and fifty miles throughout the week and she works at Orion And then the most mileage by a walker was Mary Beth Herman who logged 28 miles and she works at Matthew oncology. So The city one with a ratio of point nine three I believe the city employees tracked 496 miles divided by roughly 500 and 60 employees So you had point nine three SASD had point seven three they came in a close second and The county had point two one unfortunately. We we logged six hundred less miles this year than we did last year last year We actually took second place. So I don't know what happened. Well two of our ringers from last year didn't participate They they both logged over 120 miles last year one was on vacation and the other one's excuse was he's tires weren't pumped up so Poor excuses if you ask me so the good news Aaron is the city one is what you're saying the city one the city one Just to reiterate So here's the the traveling trophy that your boy can sell made last year for you That's our traveling trophy and I Guess the city's DPW department. We made made a permanent one for us so that we can affix to the council wall And it's got 2009 city of Sheboyd and second year in a row. So yep, so congratulations to the city again After reading through this if you have any questions feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email And I'll be happy to provide that bio for the Sheboyd and sustainability task force Okay, all the person play on us Thank You mayor I just want to reassure you one that the city of Manitowoc did not take up our challenge during that week We challenge city of Manitowoc to The bike week to see if they could log more miles than we did but they never took us up on it So mayor Ryan is off the hook. He was supposed to lead us into Manitowoc to pick up garbage if we lost so Yes, yes, you're he's still learning how to read so I think that's why That's why they didn't accept the challenge I think so thank you, Gene It's just on behalf of our wellness committee and all our city workers I can't tell you how proud I am of all our city workers who participated in this bike and walk to work week I was really really great I and and next year we'll make it even bigger and better and we'll go for three years in a row So thanks to all our city workers who participated All right. Thank you Okay consent agenda Six one through six 18 we have Vice president Gisha Thank You mayor Ryan if I could ask that 618 be pulled just for some additional explanation Okay, 618 will be pulled for additional explanation and a separate vote. Do you want that please and a separate vote? So we'll take 618 out Which will put us six one through six 17 Alderman Bob. Yes, mayor, and I was just wondering if on six two if I could just understand what the next steps are Perhaps you know that or maybe Paul that does what her recommendation what to do next is. Thank you, sir Okay, six two It's the interchange on the half interchange. Would you like to speak on that Paulette? Thank You mayor and come and council You have the letter in front of you and we submitted the resolution from council Along with a cover letter and what they'd like us to do is undertake a study They've noted some I guess problem areas that that they considered to be issues as we move through an analysis of Reopening that interchange so we're hoping to get some additional support from our legislators and then move forward with Answering I don't recall how many questions there are but it'll take a little bit of time, but we'll move forward with it Stap various staff in the department in the city Well, I'm about thank Paul so despite the the way I kind of read the letter was the state was saying give it up That that was just the way I read it. So you think we should pursue Do the survey and do whatever it says we should do commit those dollars In order to get it. Yes. Okay. I think that it's worth to try and many times as you know These types of issues can become can be political and so we're looking to garner political support and move forward Okay, very good. Thank you Big girl to my buck Alderman Bowers I Have one question What's the time frame on this you have any time frame? I don't know I think there is a staff contact and we wanted to get the letter into council And then we'll be contacting the staff and then finding out what the timeline is. It's probably a lot of it is on You know, we would bear a lot of the work So it would be dependent on when we could get the information back to them And then they'll have to review it. They'll review and get back to us and so yes Looking at a couple of years. Well, hopefully not Thanks Paul it In my opinion that whole Indiana The the the interchange is vital to the the entire revitalization of the Indiana Avenue quarter And the South Pier itself. So I think it's important that the council and the public itself is Striving to to make this happen and calling our legislators to get their support on this So we have a 6-1 through 6 17 President born Thank You, Mayor Ryan. I make a motion to accept and file all our rows and accept and adopt all our C's and pass all resolutions and ordinances Motion in a second roll call, please Hi born hi bulk Bowers Decker Yesha Heidemann Coth Kittleson Clowness Cirque Vanderwheel and boo 12 eyes Motion carries 6 18 Alderman Gischoff Thank You, Mayor Ryan. I just had some questions This is raising of fees to People who have passed in Sheboygan And as these things come up, I think it's a good opportunity to review Such fee structures for those who are watching this is a Resolution to increase the increase the cost of internment charges and increasing various fees on our cemeteries. So In a way, we're making it a little more expensive to die in Sheboygan as well as live So I've been looking for an explanation as to why we're raising these fees Where the revenues going? Where have we looked at other alternatives to if our problem is too many much expense? This is a good opportunity to find out if we've looked at other alternatives to delivering that service as far as upkeep in these Parks and so forth. So I'd like to know if there's been some sort of cost-benefit analysis this how much revenue, etc etc Alderperson Kittleson Could we ask Paul Meyer to come up and maybe give us an explanation a little bit on this if we may do we need to I think we need a do we need to make a motion Need a motion to open the floor All in favor the post Mayor member of the council I Did a survey of area cemeteries? for their fee and cost structure and Our last increase was in 2005 So actually we were not competitive with what the other cemeteries were charging We were at the low end of the scale And what I'm had probe proposed to a public works committee was approximately a 20% increase 25% and this would put us in the middle of the pack of other cemeteries and their Interment fees a lot sale prices and so forth So this is you might call this a correction for Equipment cost labor cost fuel cost We're not price-scholaging by any means it's just to put us in line with what the other cemeteries are charging and I presented a spreadsheet to public works committee showing where we fit in the area cemetery structure and And how we would be commensurate with what they charge as well, and that was approved by the committee as far as our costs are pretty much fixed as far as labor According to union contracts, and we use seasonal help Whenever Whenever we can to do lawn mowing and so forth But we're kind of like the fire department when somebody Dies we have to dig a grave So just like the fire department when there's a fire they have to put it out so It's just again What I would call it a correction and we're up the date now and I had imagined we'd be in maybe another five years until we look at our fee structure and See what the other cemeteries are charging as well If I may ask Paul the the fees the the cemeteries you compared it to where those local cemeteries in the county Yes, yeah Lutheran cemetery Calvary cemetery green lawn Sunrise some of them were public cemeteries like she wouldn't falls Kohler Others were private cemeteries Like green lawn and sunrise So again, we were at the low end of the scale and this puts us about in the middle Middle of the pack if you will President Ford, thank you, Mary. You asked the question. I was going to vice president Kisha Thank You Paul You said you said that we weren't competitive But in fact if our prices were less than everybody else doesn't that make us more competitive? We still have to provide the services and from a competitive pricing because what you're doing here is pricing Yes from a from a pricing standpoint. We're actually more competitive at the current rate than raising the rate Yeah, but we're also looking at revenue You know is there's something that we're looking I think everybody is looking at you know revenue in these times And here's a here's a situation where we can actually bring in some revenue. Can you tell me how much I know? 25% increase and that's revenue. What's our normal revenue on an annual basis? I don't I don't have those figures with me. What happens to that money that we increase the revenue general fund and Perpetual care fund our pet perpetual care fund is upside down, right? Well, we draw more out of it than it produces Is that right actually by by law? We have to maintain a perpetual fair perpetual care fund by state law and that Is invested by the finance department right but it it's short every year doesn't meet the needs of an annual basis of the park right with the city kicks in additional money for for Wages and so forth out of the general fund. Is that accurate? Well the the wages and so forth are paid out of the general fund. Yeah, and I reckon in the regular city budget but half of the half of the Income if you will goes in the perpetual care fund and that's up to the finance department to determine how that's invested Thank you Any other questions of mr. Meyer? Okay, I'm 618 all in favor. We have to take a roll. We have to take a roll take a roll.

I and I would although a alderperson Rainflesh isn't here. I'd be happy to give an explanation Regarding a request to suspend six the rules on 632 have a motion to suspend. Do we have a second? Thank you the The reason I'm asking for suspension is because as this council may recall We put a deadline of funding in the budget of roughly July 1st for the Cleaning service as it's cleaning crew at DPW which is currently we have the Finalized bids on the new cleaning service this would allow for a couple of weeks to have a transition period If we didn't it would probably be disrupted Hence the reason for the suspension We can do just all eyes so is there any objection to suspension all in favor Opposed Emotion carries on the suspension Alderman Gisha, thank you, mayor. Ryan. I move that the Resolution be accepted in front of me the resolution be put upon its passage Motion in a second under discussion Alderman Bob this mayor. I'd just like to congratulate the finance committee. I was this goes way back to when I The previous council was populating the finance committee and it's something they've been working on for a long time And I believe chairman Gisha has some figures that will really Really demonstrate that we're being good stewards of our taxpayers money by privatizing this particular service Thank you your honor Thank you Alderman Bob Alderman Gisha vice president Gisha. Thank you and frankly I'd like to thank our purchasing department who did a really good job of putting these numbers together This does go back some time if the public recalls and this council recalls We had a budget of 130,000 dollars for two cleaning people to clean the new police station There was a feeling that was excessive And what we have in front of us is a three-year total for three years of cleaning with expanded hours With them supplying even the raw materials the cleaning supplies and everything remember the police department is a seven day a week Operation where we've addressed that it doesn't end at 330 when employees punch out We've addressed that in the three-year total three-year total is a hundred and forty nine thousand six hundred and ninety four dollars That's opposed to the three-year total of 390,000 that was assuming no increases and expenses such as insurance or wages So that's a savings to the taxpayer Thanks to this council and the previous council in allowing us to take a look at this which I for one I'm very grateful for the opportunity to take a look at it of over 250,000 dollars over those three years that's substantial money and We were we were fortunate as well through the great work of our joint purchasing department with the county to get a three-year contract First two years at the same amount of money the next year looks to me to be about a two or three percent increase So I think everybody pulled together and created a good product for the taxpayer Very good any further discussion All the person kittleson. Thank you mayor. I this is document 632 that we are looking at correct That is not being referred back to the finance committee That is we are voting on that this evening even though our agenda says that we are to refer that to finance correct Am I although it was originally to be referred back to finance the president of finance has the chairman of finance has Asked to suspend the rules and pass it. Thank you. Thank you. Any further discussion? local Yes, yeah, hi to men Cough Kittleson Clowness Syrac Vander wheel Voo born Bulk Bowers and Decker Levin eyes one no Motion carries 633 is referred Our report of committee 5 6-34 by salaries and grievances recommending filing document Submitting a communication being an adopted resolution from Sheboygan County regarding supporting the concept of combined dispatch and entering Negotiations with the city for communication center dispatch manager and giving a favorable Report to the common counsel Alderman bow. Thank You miss mayor. I'd move the RCB accepted and adopted We have a motion and a second under discussion Mr. Mayor, I just cover this real quickly this has to do with a Recommendation adopted resolution from the county that was brought to salary and grievance that would recommend looking recommend further exploration of the creating of a joint county employee that would serve as the supervisor for both the county's The county's combined dispatch or not combined dispatch certain and the city's dispatch It'd be one supervisor much like where our purchasing agent is is combined And so what this would empower an approval of this tonight would empower? Director Payne and interim chief irrick to work with the county sheriff and with Adam Payne To explore a job description and salary and benefits for this person That would that recommendation would come back to us and go back to the county For a later vote this person is envisioned to be hired in July of 2010 So and we would pay 50% and the county would pay 50% this person would be a county employee And so it would come it would cost about $25,000 in 2010 if we moved to move toward that So in short this would be one supervisor who would manage counties dispatch and cities dispatch Moving us toward the combined dispatch years down the road and this is there's what we have here is the Authorization to explore that to explore. Yes, sir. Very good President born Thank You, Mayor Ryan. Just to add what alderman bulk said. This is probably the might say a baby step to combining our dispatches and in three to five years Because of the financial situation with the city in the county. We couldn't move ahead with it any Well, we chose not to move ahead with it any sooner than that But this is the first step and besides the supervisory component of this of the of the county dispatch And the police department dispatch this Supervisor or manager will be working on the protocols necessary to make a smooth transition when we indeed go to Combine dispatch one of the main problems that other counties have had in combining their dispatches have been smooth transitions and a lot of a Lot of dispatchers Deciding to move on and that's I think one of the biggest components of this Is to have this person work on the protocols to make this a smooth transition Thank You president boring any further discussion Roll call, please Heidemann Cough Kittleson Clioness Syrac Vanderweel Voo Boran Bulk Bowers Decker And Gisha 12 eyes Motion carries report of committee 6 6-35 by law and licensing recommending withdrawing beverage operators license number 8224 for the applicants request president boring Thank You mayor Ryan.

Born Bulk Bowers Decker Gisha Heidemann Cough and Kittleson 12 eyes motion carries Five dash sixty-three resolution number 22-09-10 by Alderperson's Gisha Clioness boron Montemayor and Heidemann Authorizing borrowing from the trust funds of the state of Wisconsin the sum of $800,000 for the purpose of financing storm sewer water improvements and for no other purposes vice-president Gisha, thank you, mayor Ryan. I move that the Resolution be put upon its passage Have a motion and a second under discussion Alderman vood Thank you Have two questions Which parts of the city that really need the storm water improvement and second Is the trust funds office constantly available for loan in next year or two? Or is it available only in a limited time offer? Because this involves in a section of that income tax Property tax increase. So that's why I ask this kind of group, right? So I May explain one part of it that $800,000 is for the project that is already underway on The the fifth in New York project This is normally money that we would bond for however such a small sum We didn't have to bond for it at the beginning of the year. So we brought it out of the state trust fund I had a very low interest rate. Maybe vice-president Gisha can can expound upon that a bit more Maybe Thank you your honor. Yes, you're you are correct Normally, this would be something that we would bond for but this is not a good time to go to the bond market Unemployment tie you end up getting nicked in your bond rating with deficits and things like that And so the decision was made via this paper to go to the state employee trust And I believe actually the interest paid to this goes to libraries across the state of Wisconsin. So the the the rate is Probably slightly higher than a bond rate But we don't get nicked on a on a downgrade and a bonding and perhaps Terry Hansen Finance director hands it if I'm in that accurate or it needs to expound he could address that yeah And if this was already a project we had contracted for before the Financial picture of the city loomed its rear at its ugly head And so this is one project that we were obligated to do and this was the most logical way to go about it older person Clowness I Also think it's part of our obligation at matching other funds that are coming in from I think other projects Isn't this is not the other funds coming in for the storm water to or this it's all ours I thought me the state had something to do this one too. No, okay. Sorry My question What was your second question Alderman Vue did we answer your question Can you can you put your mic at least my second question is that is this trust fund office constant available the next year or two Is it available in a limited time offer? This has been available for years It's kind of one of Wisconsin's best-kept secrets a lot of rural communities have dipped into this trust fund for money whether the rest of us Incorporated communities have gone to the bond market, but as the bond markets kind of squeezed up a lot more communities are going to these trust fund dollars I think last year they Pay it out about 15 million dollars. I think across the state in various funds It's a it's a program that has been around forever and likely will be along forever But it is a limited amount theoretically if all the communities Requests are granted and a lot more people use it. It could dwindle that it's a revolving fund, but It's been around for a lot of years. So fingers crossed that it's there in the future Here Alderman Vue and Gisha Alderman Bowers Thank You, Mr. Mayor. Can you tell us is there any maximum amount we can borrow from this or is there a limitation? So once I think we'll get finance director Terry Hansen up here to Give us a true expert opinion on this He doesn't know and typically your best route is the bond market unless there are certain Circumstances that that arise and we're in those certain circumstances. This is a small issuance going out for a bond at this amount you have certain Underwriting costs that you have to pay for and the larger the issue The smaller percentage those underwriting costs are so that's better and then also smaller issues when you go out on bond market Usually have a higher interest rate than if you have a large bond issue So this this case and point is very good to utilize these funds However, majority of the time when we're looking at our normal process going out for a bond is a better route to do that But at this time and the small amount this is the best route Okay, any further discussion Roll call, please sir. I Vander wheel Voo foreign Boke Bowers Decker Yesha Heidemann Koth Kittlesen client is 11 eyes one no motion carries 5-68 general ordinance number 4-09-10 by Alderperson's Hannah Rindflash Bowers suric and wangaman repealing and recreating subsection 6 of section 50-182 of the Sheboygan Municipal Code So as to add and amend regulations related to bond fires Alderman suric Thank you, mayor. I move that the general ordinance be put upon its passage We have a motion in a second under discussion alderman bulk alderman suric I just mentioned maybe J. Chief. Let's ask you like to address the issue if there are any questions chief Thank You mayor and mayor Ryan and members of council This is really a very minor change to the ordinance There's basically two Items that are changed in there one is the distance Is changed for recreational bond fires from 20 feet to 10 feet the reasoning behind that is for one we don't have Issues with fire control problems as long as all the other provisions of the ordinance are followed and the second is there's a disconnect between The cooking ordinance and the recreational bond fire sections of the ordinance and we always had this issue our people using this fire for cooking or Recreation and we had a hard time enforcing it. So there'll be consistency between the two by having that 10-foot Limitation as opposed to 10 foot for one item and 20 foot for the other and then the other change to the ordinance is adding a provision G that just addresses the pre-manufactured fire pits that you're seeing a lot more of That look like wood burner kind of things that aren't exactly a fire pit and aren't exactly a Friar for cooking or the in-between that just talks about manufacturers specifications and and Following those so those are the two changes.
