Tonight we have two of our members who resigned their positions as of the end of December. I'd like to start out with Alderman Jody Vanderweel who has served as an Alderperson representing District 2 for the last eight years. The committees that Jody served on during her tenure as Alderperson is the most notably the Chairman of the Law and Licensing Committee from 2008 to the present. Also Public Works Committee, Salaries and Grievance Committee, and then other committees being the Commission on Aging, the Board of Housing Appeals, the Industrial Development Commission, the Committee on Fair Housing Practices, the Board of Park and Forestry, the Senior Activity Center Commission, the Mayor's International Committee, the Strategic Fiscal Planning Commission, Group Health and Wellness Committee, and the Government Structure Committee. Jody, I'd like you to come up and accept the certificate of appreciation from the City of Sheboygan and your fellow Alderpersons for eight years of dedicated service to the City of Sheboygan as Alderperson. Seeing this at all. Interesting eight years. I started out taking over for my then husband, and so we've been doing, I was dealing with politics before that, thought, oh, I'll give it a try. Completely different on that side of the fence. A lot has changed in the last eight years, both in the city, my life. It's been a great chapter. I'm pretty excited to start my new chapter on January 1st when I get married and see what life brings me next. Thank you. Thank you. Next I'd like to recognize Alderman Darrell Carlson who served as an Alderman, representing District Three for the last four years. During his tenure he served as City Council Vice President, Chairman of the Committee of the Whole, Chairman of the Public Protection and Safety Committee, Chairman of the Sheboygan Transit Commission, and Chairman of the Sustainable Sheboygan Task Force, and also serving on the Finance Committee, Strategic Fiscal Planning Committee, the Mead Library Board of Trustees, the Capital Improvements Commission, the City County Shared Services Committee, the Architecture Review Board, and Historic Preservation Committee. Alderman Carlson, I'd like to present this special certificate to you for four years of dedicated service to the City of Sheboygan, serving as Alder Person. Just wanna thank everybody for the opportunity to be here, especially my constituents. It's been a fun four years, four and a half, that's to be a little bit more exact. We've gone through a lot of things, both good and bad, but I know Jodi and I are leaving the city on a good foot here. We've got a lot of great things happening, especially most notably the Boston Store property being redeveloped. We're gonna be voting on something tonight that is gonna be great for the city in the long run. Just in general, we've got a great staff, the city administrator, a good leader in front of us, actually two of them, Mr. Mayor and President Hammons. We've got great department heads, really good staff, so my only advice is please don't screw it up. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Earlier this week, I had the occasion to give out a special citation for a retirement in the water utility. Brian Pletz had just retired after 30 years of service to the water utility. Most recently, he served as a plant operator and meter shop foreman. So we really thank Brian for his service. One last thing, I'd like to wish the city staff, all the Alderman and all the residents of Sheboygan of very Merry Christmas have a great celebration. Okay, next we'll move on to the Consent Agenda.

I want to thank Jim Amorio, Alderman Hammond and the Finance Committee for being able to pay for this 2.5 million dollars out of fund balances rather than having to go out and borrow the 2.5 million dollars. It'll help us to realize the amount that's coming off our tax levy. I believe it's over $900,000 for the employees that are being transferred from the police department over to the county the first of the year and also would like to thank the excellent job and dedication that those dispatchers have done for the city of Sheboygan and I know there'll be a great addition to the county.
