Alderman born Thank You mayor van Akron. I would like to pull forward Document number two point three please And that was by the strategic fiscal planning committee recommending filing various documents and the action to be taken as an accept and adopt I would like to from that from that agenda item from strategic fiscal planning I'd like to pull forward Document it was in the attachment document number forty two eleven dash twelve and document one four seven one one four seven eleven dash eleven dash twelve and Refer those to the committee of the whole These two documents originally had to do one was from last July fifth Resolution by all their persons boron Carlson Samson and versey Requesting that the fire chief draft a long-range plan for the city Farrer department and then also the second document Originally went to the committee of the whole and that was the Long-range plan for the Sheboygan Farrer department that chief Herman spent a lot of time on very well done And he did review that with the committee of the whole last year on august 15th and it was referred to strategic fiscal planning and Was on their agenda a couple of weeks ago, and it's my understanding along with about 20 some other documents They were filed with no with no discussion So my reason for Referring these back to the committee of the whole for the benefit mainly of our new older persons I would like being that we're in budget time again I would like the fire chief to again give his presentation on his long-range plan for this committee of the whole to consider for the 2013 budget Thank you alderman borne. Could you tell me which documents they are on this? Do you know? It would be on your long list of documents, right? I think it was the last two it was 42 dash 11 dash 12. It was a resolution Resolution by myself alderman Carlson Samson and versey right that was the date of July 5th Okay, and at that time it was council document number 716 Okay, and then the second one was an RC number 147 dash 11 dash 12 by the committee of the whole on august 15th And that council document was 10 dash 60 so just those two just those two would like those referred to committee the whole Committee the whole okay alderman first of all we're going to take up two three separate and then we'll go back to the agenda To the consent agenda alderman borne You would need to make a motion to separate the question on that document and Separate those two motion motion to separate the question on those two documents second It's been moved and seconded to separate the two documents from the Strategic planning committee's recommendation. Is there any discussion? Alderman Donahue Thank You mayor. I guess my question would be I Had an opportunity to look at the document um Perhaps an update that would go to the strategic fiscal planning committee first would be appropriate But I guess I would be looking for the same sort of document from each department If we're really going to do strategic planning for the city in terms of budgeting We need to understand staffing long-term goals service goals For each and every department and I well, I think the the fire department is quite important Typically when you do strategic planning for an organization You want to look at the whole organization And just to focus on one department while interesting and informative and certainly keeping the chief on his toes I knew he was here I think that would be a good document for or a good document for each department To present to us and in some sort of format probably committee of the whole although maybe strategic Fiscal planning ought to look at all of those first as well. So that would be that would be my suggestion Oh, we have a motion on the floor to refer Any other discussion on the motion The motion would be to forward those two documents Just to separate the to separate them first all those in favor of separating Those two documents from the report. Hold on just a second. Let me get that Okay, this is for division of the question Yes 12 eyes for nose motion carried Now we'll vote on the motion to Send it to those those two documents to the Committee of the whole all the men board Um, thank you. Thank you, mayor a motion to send those two documents to the committee of the whole second It's been moved and seconded to send those two documents to the committee of the whole. Is there any discussion? Hearing none clerk will call the roll It's a tie eight eyes eight nose Mayor needs to break the tie can break the tie I guess I would agree with maryland. I'd like to see it go to strategic planning first So I'll vote no to the committee of the whole And it would entertain a motion for strategic So I vote no all of them in borne I guess I the reason I made the motion in the first place is it already went to strategic fiscal planning And with it was smart summarily filed without any discussion And so, you know, I'm afraid if it goes back to strategic again, it's just going to be filed again without any discussion That's why that's why I made the referral back to the committee of the whole because I'm chairman of the committee And I know it'll be discussed Well I believe and and the reason I voted no was I believe it was at the committee of the whole too And it was discussed once already at the committee of the whole so we run in that same scenario I think we're going to be going through budgets and you're seeing tonight that other budget things will be sent to committees and um That's I think the proper place to start so if there's no motion The more appropriate motion would be to send it to strategic or we will go to File that with the rest of them Hearing no motion. We'll move to go back to the consent agenda including two three To take up the Um To one through two 26 all the men all the men Hammond Including Include this back in because this The separation didn't Um, I'm motion to accept and file all our rows accept and adopt all our C's and pass all resolutions and ordinances So I can it's been moving seconded to Pass all our rows pass all committee reports pass all resolutions and substitute resolutions under discussion Hearing none the clerk will call the roll 14 eyes two noes The motion carries Three one on all our old from the chief administrator officer submitting a financial report of the city's of sheboygan For the year ended december 31st 2011 all the men Hammond Thank you.

Thank you Under discussion all the men born Thank you, mayor van Akron allerman hammond was the uh Audit itself discussed in detail at finance or just the uh, just the management letter All the men hammond. Thank you, mr. Mayor. Um, the folks from shank went through the management letter And which all highlights the details of a consolidated income statement consolidated balance sheets Their recommendations conflict, you know various areas where we need to possibly improve which one of the areas they identified We've been gigged on this for a long time a separation of powers separation of duties So no, they didn't go line by line through the entire document But they did go through very detailed the management report and the consolidated statements Did they another question we re-requested them last year to make uh footnotes In the audit so that you didn't have to be a cpa to figure it out of what the Municipal court contributed to the general fund and also what the ambulance fund Contributed to the general fund did they follow our request or do we have to dig through the minutia to find that I did not look at the detailed report But I do believe the contribution from the ambulance fund was part of the consolidated report But I'd have to look at the footnotes in detail because again, we just got them last monday Chima morio might know the answer to that Any other questions all the men want thank you Any other questions from the council hearing none clerk will call the roll 16 eyes Motion carried 3 2 through 3 8 will either be referred or lie over 4 1 A resolution amending the city employees hiring freeze all the men raceler Thank you, mr. Mayor. I move that the resolution be put upon its passage second It's been moved and seconded that the resolution be put upon its passage under discussion all the men race. Thank you, mr. Mayor This is uh, I want to make sure we everybody understands for budgeted positions only So if there's something new that one of the departments is coming to it still has to come before salaries and grievances and back to the full board This is something that the the board has not declined any of the hiring freezes to lift it That was something that was brought up in conversation about Having a rule that you never really follow One of the things I think we have to do is have faith in our department heads to determine What personnel is needed and by setting it that these positions have to be within the budget allows them to do that And also one of the last two points is that By having the hiring freeze for budgeted positions. It seems to Delay the hiring process. I know for like telecommunicators and such when it's a budgeted position We're paying out a lot of overtime because we can't get these people hired Fast enough to take over for the for the full-time positions And the last thing I'll notice that it was a unanimous decision at salaries and grievances Thank you any other discussion Hearing none the clerk call the roll 13 eyes three nose motion carried Or to a resolution authorizing outside legal counsel to represent the city in a matter of karen william Versus the city of sheboygan cab company Alderman ham Thank you, mr.

We've farmed them out This would be a sydmyc defense type claim Sydmyc gets to choose basically although they can They would listen to the city's input on that Who they wish to defend the matter? And we've had very good success using olsencloak gunterson and conway in insurance defense of these claims. This is a auto accident case and frankly Our office has not handled A lot of civil litigation. We we don't handle a lot of civil litigation.
