Approval of the minutes from the last meeting. Alder Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I move to approve the minutes from the fourth special and the 24th regular council meetings held on March 25th and March 18th, 2024, respectively. Thank you. Moved and seconded.

The mayor hereby submits the following appointment for your confirmation, Alder Daniel Peterson, to be considered for appointment to the Public Works Committee. Alder Decker. I move to confirm. Seconded. Moved and seconded. All those in favor, this is roll call vote. Nine ayes. All right, that's approved. City clerk, anyone for public forum this evening? One this evening, Brian Kelly. All right, Mr. Kelly, you want to come on up? And then if you could state your name and address and then the item you're referring to and then you'll have five minutes. My name is Brian Kelly. My address is 2006 South Ninth Street. I just wanted to talk about the farm development. The, I think it's part of TID 23 that was in the meeting packet. So part of that, it was hard to tell from the plan that was there. If there was going to be any sidewalks or any walkability thought put into this neighborhood. Strong Towns put out a few articles about how walkable neighborhoods tend to have higher property values. From my understanding, the TID, the purpose of the creation of that TID was to raise the value of that area. So I just want to make sure that the city is putting thought as it goes through this planning process into how to make this a walkable neighborhood just so that the city isn't leaving money on the table there. I think it would be great to involve the Shaboygan, sustainable Shaboygan task force as these plans are being created. I think it would be a great opportunity to invite them just be part of that conversation. So that's all I had to say, thank you. Thank you, City Clerk, anyone else? No one this evening. All right, Mayor's announcements, just a few items here. Want to give a recognition to our friends at WSES for winning some recognition at the best of the Midwest Media Fest. So the best of the Midwest Media Fest recognizes the outstanding video in radio programs produced by professionals and amateurs who use low power FM radio stations and PEG media centers to produce and distribute their programming. Seven local programs won awards, which will be presented in May. So we just want to congratulate our city partners for working alongside of USCS, including Uptown Social, the Mead Public Library and the City of Shaboygan and for contributing and working with our teams for these accolades. Uptown Social, what their program is with obviously the illustrious Maryland Montemer's cooking programs. City Hall's relating to the Armory Historic Tribute Video and then the Mead Public Library submitted the Tribal Resiliency Presentation with the Wisconsin Academy. So just want to give a big shout out to our man behind the camera, Scott Meelef. So Scott, put the camera on yourself if you can do that. And just congratulations. Get all those camera angles in. So just congratulations again for our team for getting some good recognition. So, and also I was handed a note by Maryland Montemer as well, very important announcement. Uptown Social will be serving liver and onions tomorrow from 1130 to 1230, which is, I heard a very hot item when that's on the menu at Uptown Social. So check it out, membership discounts as well, I was told. So Maryland will be working her culinary magic down there at Uptown Social. So those are all the notes I have for this evening. All right, we will jump into our consent agenda. Items 29 through, excuse me, nine through 26, Elder Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I move to receive and file all ROs, receive all RCs and adopt all resolutions and ordinances. Moved and seconded. Any discussion, Elder Decker? Yes, I would like to pull items 20 and 21 as separate. All right. Okay. Second. Okay. What I would like to do is just take out on those two items, the wording 2024 complete streets and change it to just 2024 road projects. Those really don't meet the complete streets criteria. They were early on in the, they've been on our capital improvements plan for quite a couple of years before we even had the complete streets program. So they really aren't, I mean, they will have some aspects of complete streets in them but they really don't fit the criteria. So we'll take number 20. So there's been a motion to change the verbiage, item 20 and remove the verbiage for complete streets and change it to road program, road projects. Is there a second? Second. Moved and seconded by Elder Peterson. Any discussion on this item, Elder Rust? So is there a reason why we would be taking away the complete, like I understand that's not entirely complete streets, but isn't it part of the initiative still moving forward or is it because we haven't created, like develop the whole initiative yet? It's basically because we haven't really created the initiative yet. These were already planned, designed, everything before we actually started the complete streets. So these really don't have those aspects to them. I guess if you want to, it's Kevin nodding. If you want to just jump in there and just kind of tour. Okay. Anyone from Public Works? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we're in the early stages of developing the complete streets policy. And so we really didn't maybe jump the gun a little bit on naming these complete streets projects in the CIP, but we're not going to go away from that policy, but. Right. So would the, does this contain aspects of the complete streets policy that we're trying to develop? Yes, there are some aspects. Yes. All right. Thank you. All right. Alder, Flicky Pineski. Thank you. We're on 20 or 21? Correct. 20. No, I'll defer to 21. Okay. Any other discussion on this amendment? All right. Seeing no more cues, this will be a voice of Alder Prella. Yeah. Just very, very quick, because I'm a little disappointed, of course, I was very happy to see the complete streets on both of these projects. So I was just wondering, I assume that there is also a financial element, right? So first that changes at this stage would not be possible to reflect something that we want to try to implement from now on. So changes will not be possible at this stage. Now question number one and two, also there would be a financial implication in any change that we would make implementing that direction, right? Yes and yes. Yes and yes. Okay. Yeah, thank you. Okay, seeing no more cues, we'll take item 20 in the amendment first. Seeing no more cues, all those in favor of the amendment, state aye. Aye. Any objections? All right, that amendment is approved. We'll take item 20 as a whole. Any other discussion on item 20? All right, seeing no more cues for item number 20, all those in favor of approving item number 20, state aye. Aye. Any objections? All right, that is approved. Next item 21, Alder-Dekker. I would like to do the same thing, remove the words complete streets 2024 and change it to road projects. All right, there's been an amendment to change the verbiage of complete streets to road projects. Is there a second? Second. Who is the second? Okay, Alder-Heidemann. Any discussion on item 21? Alder Flikipaneski. Thank you. I was in my district and this particular street has been bumped and bumped again and bumped again and it's finally gonna be there. I was privy to a couple of drawings and diagrams for crosswalks and concrete in the middle of the, there's a five-way space up there and that is part of complete streets. I have also had constituents ask about are they gonna cut down all the pretty trees if they mess with the street? I didn't know the answer to that but I assure them that if the trees could stay, they would stay. So to the point of it being a complete street, please make it a quote unquote complete street as much as you can. Thank you. Other comments on item 21? All right, seeing no more queues. All those in favor of the amendment, state aye. Aye. Any objections? Seeing none, we're back at the main item for 21. Any other discussion on item 21 as amended? All right, seeing no queues. All those in favor, state aye. Aye. Any objections? All right, that's approved. We're back at the consent agenda as a whole for the remaining items. Any other questions on any of the remaining consent agenda items? All right, seeing no more queues. This will be a roll call vote. Nice. Nine nice. All right, there we go. Those items are approved. Next reports of officers. Item 27, RO number 129-2324 by the city's attorney submitting for information, a copy of court of appeals decision dated March 20th, 2024 in a matter of Wisconsin Department of Revenue and excuse me, city of Plymouth versus master gallery foods, Older Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I move to accept and file. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right, seeing no queues. This is a voice vote. All those in favor, state aye. Aye. Any objections? That's approved. Items 28, 29 and 30 will be referred to their respective committees. Next resolution, item 31, resolution number 201-2324 by older persons, Decker and Rust authorizing, executing a one year lease with David Gartman, LLC for the agricultural property in the city of Sheboygan, Older Decker. Thank you, Mayor. I ask to suspend the rules. Is there any objections? There's been an objection. Going to a vote. All those in favor of suspending the rules, say aye. Aye. Any objections? All right, seeing. So the rules have been suspended. Older Decker back to the main motion. Thank you, Mayor. I move to adopt the resolution. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? Older Mitchell. Thank you, Mayor. Just wanted to ask if there was anybody who could give us a little bit of background as to the purpose behind the agreement or the intent behind it? Yep, city administrator. Yes, this is the annual contract that we entered into with the Gartman property. So this contract is for them to farm the farmable portions of the land that we've purchased. And it's part of the purchase agreement that we entered into. And we just, basically it says annually we'll do this. This contract is 93 acres less. So we took out the northern portion of the property because we plan on development starting yet this year. So we took out that 93 acres. We met with Mr. Gartman and discussed that with him and came up with an area that we're a mutual understanding of he will farm below a certain point and that is reflected. So you'll see that payment will be smaller and the amount of acreage that they're farming this year will be smaller. Alder Flickie Panesky. Thank you. And the reason I didn't want to suspend the rules is this is an annual thing and this is not the first year. So if it could come before the council without suspending rules in future years, that would be great. Thank you for those comments. Anyone else on this item? Seeing no more queues. This will be a roll call vote. Nine eyes. All right, that's approved. And those 32, 33 and 34 will be referred to their respective committees. Reports of committees. Item 35 RC number two, four, eight, 23, 24 by the Licensing Hearing and Public Safety Committee to whom was referred resolution number 195, 23, 24 by older persons, Russ and Felde, authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into an agreement for urban search and rescue response services for the period of July 1st, 2024 through June 30th, 2026. All the rest. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to adopt the resolution. Second. Moved in, seconded. Any discussion on this item? Alder Pirella? Yeah, I was just, I tried to understand so who, which department is in the city is involved with this and with the training? So that would fall under the fire department. And so a couple of years ago, this is just for the state. They require us to sign, re-sign the contract every two years. This is that urban task force that the council approved two years ago, which would allow our members to be trained and then deployable if needed throughout the state, the county or nationally. It's already paid dividends for our department. We assisted Elkhart Lake and also Usberg within the past six months based on our members' training. So it's already paid dividends. Again, this is a no cost. The feds pay for all the training or the state, I should say. So it benefits the city greatly. And may I just, one brief follow-up? And do you see that as a value added also as a training generally speaking to your personnel? Without a doubt. They've already brought back what they've learned and we're training all our members. They won't be certified to the same level, obviously, but just in a basic hands-on. So when we get called out in the city, they can start mitigating those incidents. Wonderful, thank you. You bet. Thank you. Other discussion on this item? All right, seeing none, this is roll call vote. Nine, nine. That's approved. Item 36, RC number 231-2324 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred to resolution number 182-2324 by Elder Persons Mitchell and Flicky Panesky, authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with Mike Cainey Construction for phase two remodeling improvements for the uptown social building in effort to further enhance the lives of uptown social members. Older Mitchell. Thank you, Mayor. I move to receive the RC and adapt the resolution. Moved and seconded. Any discussion on this item? All right, seeing none. This will be a roll call vote. Nine, nine. That's approved. Item 37, RC number 233-2324 by the Finance and Personnel Committee to whom was referred resolution number 124-2324 by Comptroller Evan Grossen, pursuant to Shpoig and Municipal Code 2-912b. That requires the Comptroller to file with the Common Council. All list of claims approved, showed the dated, paid, and the name of the claimant and the purpose of the amount in the cash list, paid vouchers for February, 2024. Older Mitchell. Thank you, Mayor. I move to receive the RC and file the document. Moved and seconded. Any discussion? Seeing no cues, this is a roll call vote. Nine, nine. That's approved. All right, we've exhausted the agenda. Older Decker, what's your pleasure? I move to adjourn. Moved and seconded. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? We are adjourned at 620.
