All right. And you have five minutes, sir. All right. No politics. Can you move the mic? Can you move the mic down a little bit, Mike? Yes, sir. Thank you. Tonight's technology. Things change. Things change. We're now in the iPad world and everybody's iPads are going to save everything. Everybody's going to learn everything. And I have one of my favorite ads of all time about this great little device. Man might conquer disease, stop crime, save his environment with the help of this little machine. And it's kind of like we all know it. It's the original Sony Betamax. You go into the rest of the article and it's telling you about all these uses and how great it is. And in no time, everybody's going to be sharing everything. And we're pretty much going to be curing cancer. And that's about it. We don't need anything else. It's the cure-all. It's the cure-all of the world. And then we move on to tablets. And it's like here. And I gave a slight heads up for a clerk of course. It's about the computer age is dead and done. And it's like people are still using computers. They will for a while. But the world's moved to tablets. And congratulations on the county on your new website. It's all pretty and all. And it's like 20 grand. Man, that's a lot for a WordPress site. And it's like, but so be it. But little things are like tonight for your agenda for here. I have my cheaply $130 Kindle because I'm not a rich iPad guy. Seems to do pretty much the same stuff. But it's a little thing that you punch it up. And it's all pretty and all. But when you get to it and you get to the meat, and I'm on the agenda, it doesn't scroll or anything. And I know it's nothing the city is doing. And being the fact that it's BoardDocs Pro means it costs at least $12.95 or something compared to BoardDocs. But it's relatively useless for looking at a lot of stuff. And just pointing it out, it's just one of those little things that you go on. Because the city, everybody, county, technology is pretty big. It always has been. It always will. And it's a big sinkhole for money. But it's one of those. I wish people would be a little more careful with the money. And going back, I mean, it's like as technology changes, this is an old pre. This is when cameras used to shoot two frames a second and this and that. Oh, you'll never have to shoot football again in your life. Oh my god, it's perfect, whatever, la, la, la, la. And it's kind of like now on this day and age, they can shoot 120 frames per second in full color that they can blow up the size of that wall back there. And it's like, you're getting everything. It's completely obsolete, and it's out of there. Still a nice picture, but it's basically that's how much things change. This is from America 24-7. And if I don't find it in two seconds, because I lost my page now. But bottom line is all these pictures in here are taken on cameras that are one to four megapixel, because that's what they have back in the day. And you can do two full pages. These are 20-year-old, or not 20-year-old, but these are 12-year-old technology. Any of these cameras you can pick up for probably 20 bucks. And it's like, sure, these were shot by good people, but it's basically the overkill and the such, and everything's switching down. And then go into one more. And this is what I do for fun when I go home. And it's like, well, you should too. I mean, sure, maybe the girls in Germany look nice and all, but more importantly, if you haven't taken a read, this is the famous Sheboygan's and Playboy issue. And it's got the article in it, and it's quite entertaining. And a lot of it pertains, as much as time change, it's like a lot of things don't. And right now, just as a heads up, I mean, everybody kind of knows stuff that's in the news like for tomorrow and whatever, but Sheboygan has become the middle town of our current generation, being that middle city on the gin index, and you've probably seen that, we're the most equal city in America. There was another article, one of the biggest photo agencies spent about a week here shooting a heck out of it, and it's in all these European papers and that, and it's comparing us to city in England, and it's a big series, and it's probably gonna become a coffee table book. But where I'm going to add it is, once again, I'm looking at the biggest photo agency that is going today, maybe, you know, you can argue AFP or AP or whatever, but it's called Getty, they do the magazine work, and I'm just punching around, but they have a big stream set up of they loaded tons of pictures off of Flickr, who they now license pictures through there for magazines. I hate to do this to you, Mike, but if you're five minutes up, would you like your extra? I'll take my minute, and it's like, I hate doing it, but. Okay. But okay, so the bottom line is Sheboygan's on the feed for Wisconsin, because they're getting ready, I think to slam on us a little bit, but it's like they got a whole bunch of, all the current pictures they have in their queue on the top of it, if you're going through Wisconsin, and they don't do it just for the heck of it, but it's coming down, but basically we're becoming this city that people are wanting to really look at it depth, and it's like, and you punch around on the internet a little bit about it, it's, the agency's seven, I don't know, magazines, but they're quite interesting, it's quite interesting article on Sheboygan, and I just thought it's something that people should take a poke at, take a peek at, and that's all I got, thanks. Thank you, Michael. Thank you. Now the consent agenda, Alderman Carlson. Thank you. Move to accept and file all our O's, accept and adopt all our C's, and pass all resolutions. Second.

Six six, committee report from law and licensing, denying taxicab driver's license number 9351, Alderman Vandewil. This one's a little different. We did in committee vote to deny the license. So I'm gonna go ahead and move the RC to be accepted and adopted. Second. It's been moved and seconded that the committee report be accepted and adopted. Under discussion. Alderman Vandewil. Is Javier Yerra here this evening? He is here. Under discussion, we, since the meeting, he did go to the city attorney's office and find out that there were some errors on the information that we had in front of us the day of the committee. So it is my opinion and also I would, I would hope in my committee that we would deny this RC and then approve his license because we were under the impression that he had a pending charge and he really did not. That was from 2011. It just hadn't been removed from his application when he had applied for a taxicab license before. So there was an error and you're asking to the council to vote down the committee report and then we'll have to take a second vote on the. And to grant. All right. Yes, yes. Everybody understand that? If we were to bring it back to committee, he's got a few more weeks that he won't be able to use the license then. So it's up to the council what you want to do. So the RC is to not grant his license but the chairman is asking to vote against the committee report. All those clerk or call the roll? One yes, 13 no. So the committee report fails. Now I'll need a motion to grant his license. All of them in vandal. Motion to grant the license. Second. It's been moved and seconded to grant the license. Is there any discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Aye. Opposed? No. Motion carries. Two nays. Motion carried. Thank you. Yes. Tax. Taxi license. That was an error on me. It should be a beverage license. It's a misprint on it. It's a misprint on it. It is the beverage license. You are correct. Thank you, sir.

It's been moved and seconded that the RC be accepted and adopted. Is Matthew Scheidel here this evening? He is not. Based on his violations, the committee voted five to zero to deny the license.
