We're very happy to have you here in Sheboygan both of you and Once you're once you're here you're your part your Sheboygan night in heart. So Please speak well of Sheboygan when you get home. So congratulations. Thanks showing up. If you need to leave you may okay That was exciting a little little different than we normally do but so our second Item is I think remember last month that we got a donation of coins from Shoreline Metro Evans received and we kind of got it. We need to know what we want to do with them We have them here. There's various there from various countries. So we need to know is it something we want to Cash in and use it use it for donation for somewhere Or do we want to make a display somewhere like at the library or the art center or something to display? This one you know our relationship with coins But these are pretty much any country you can positively imagine. It's big variety Yeah, so I'm I'm open to suggestions what we want to do I had no idea what the monetary value would be of them. We'd have to have that checked out or Some artistic person can put together a nice display So thoughts hand or the microphone should be on it's on I Was that we could but then You know if we I know there's a few banks that do it, but then you know off they I don't know if they just do that for us or without us putting the money in there or not So we'd have to find out Rich we didn't hear what Yolanda said She said the microphone is not on she said should we Find a monetary value first to see what It may be But then I said we'd have to find a place that'd be willing to do at a bank or something without having to deposit it Or exchange it rich Julie Maybe we could use them as a raffle item at our next ethnic infest Pardon, I didn't understand you sorry What Maybe we could use them as a raffle item at our next ethnic infest Okay, there's a that's an idea Mean just thought don't hold it the whole bucket of them Okay, whatever we can decide We can find out though too with what the value is I mean Last time I went I had an account that can open another one and deposit the coins or ask the value Okay, I gave it a relative a relative. I Mean how we're gonna raffle it off and people don't know what it's worth. Oh, yeah, right? Same as us look good luck of the drawing, you know Yeah, you can do it in silence or you can do a basket Okay, okay, but it's good to find out the price. I agree. I mean, yeah, I mean, and that's not we can't First of all what it's all coin correct, right? Yes, and then Each coin we can figure out what the the domination or where it's from And the Euro if it's a Euro or if it's whatever and you know, and that's gonna change with exchangers Well, I think maybe firstly You gave me a good idea. You'll maybe we first need to identify each one of the coins You know from where they're from and make a list of what the denomination in there in the country's money is so can I can I say something sure? I've been to Europe a couple times. I'm always leaving money there coins And the coins aren't worth anything It was worth 50 cents or they're worth a quarter of penny and nickel dime Unless they've got a date on them. That's from 1800. They're not worth anything But what what would be interesting? I have coins in my basement I've got two two coin collections. We spent a small fortune on the cabinet and put them in and After that when I did the third one, I just took a standard frame And I had you know some cardboard or whatever and I just took a hot gun and I glued them Onto the cardboard and then I put them in the frame They look pretty cool on I probably have two dollars tied up in the frame So but these coins some of the coins I have are They're from all over the world actually and I got them from my dad and he's been gone for 40 years So I think what we should do for starters don't do anything with the coins until we can all Give everybody a hug We'll be able to make a better decision And but I think that's when you invest is a great idea But but not as a monetary not saying we think these coins are worth 50 bucks But I mean I'd be more than happy to Somebody wanted to help when it when we get to that point a year or two from now and take a hot gun And the glue some of these coins and put them in a in a 8 by 11 frame Little What's that a little montage? Yeah, you know and like You know like some of these you can tell are from Asia some of them are gonna be from Europe Some might be from South America some might be from Africa to do a couple different frames Let's just sit on these coins for the time being let's just not do anything with them right now. I think I Think that if we glue them if they didn't have any monetary value or collectors value wouldn't that collector's value for somebody If you're gonna use a hot glue gun It's not like you're taking a Small box or something. I've already Yeah, you just take your finger you pull them off the paper And then you take your finger now and you pull the hot glue off of them So you're not gonna devalue any of them if something's got a date from 1950 or 1925 But these are tourists that came from sheboygan and just for the fun of it They've left their their money their coins in our city. So the coins They're not really worth anything and you won't find anybody to give you an appraisal on them because They want to appraise queens that are 75 years old. Yeah, you're gonna be getting face value on those points Yeah, if you're lucky if you and you won't get that because try to when you come back from Europe some time You got euros try to cash those in They don't want to work with They're not you have a pick that accepts heroes, but I like the idea as well as not Like spending about I mean none else they like set a collage or a montage and maybe like the John Kohler Michael arts center I would like to display it. I don't know Yeah, but right right now everything is pretty much dead. I'm just saying for starters Let's just sit on these things for a year. I mean, let's face it a year from now I'm still gonna be wearing a mask. I already know it so let's sit on this for a year or so and Let's not be in a big hurry to do something with it. It's what I'm saying if that's a case Nobody's gonna see it anyway Can I move that we take Mark's idea and sit on these for a year Who's good at that? Okay, we second it, but who who's gonna store them? Mayor's office I say they've already been here. They've already been in my office for a while. Okay Okay, we'll have a man. Okay, the motion made to keep them on hold and Look at Closer to Essling and fest to look at to do something with them Second today. Well, no, I think do we? We already got that we always got that so I'm just repeating so any further discussion Hearing none all in favor of the motion Signify saying aye. Aye Okay, any opposition same sign, okay motion carried. Okay, thanks That's the next one promoting others should plug in it is more or less informational but I did send Sarah and today she put on the first Facebook cost so it'd be I'd like to see you if you can go to like the mayor's International Committee page and Share it and start getting some Spreading out in a community and also if you know anyone any groups non-profits I'm not looking at businesses, but non-profits or churches or whatever that know they have a relationship with Countries around the world this one is st. Peter Lutheran Church, and they have been for over 20 years Educate helping educate the kids of El Salvador and it's been an exchange program back and forth So it's a long-standing program. So I thought that was a good one to start with As you'll see on there what they do they're trying to work with the kids down there to keep them out of the gangs Because El Salvador has a quite a gang problem. So and they've had students over the years They finally got one in graduate school now that they're helping support So it's a great program, and I'd like to maybe do that I know Rotary and Qantas and a bunch of others have Programs and because I think I'd like to show that we may be mayor's International Committee for Essing in and Vami, but we have relationships with all over the world so and and Mayor Mike I Kind of like you to write up something for on That Great Lakes thing because you have Canadian friends and if you could put something on there about that program Because that's something we do You're welcome so Anyone I Cole was gonna be I said he might be here, but do we have any information on this? Sister so by me. I know we got a letter. I I've sent the email over to the last known contact that I had Okay, was the person that Grazia had been emailing with that that was two years ago, right? That's the only contact person I have via email. So Hopefully I will hear back from that person. Okay, that's that's all I have to go So an email has been sent of welcome and asking how everyone's doing over in Sabami, so that's For us a very giant step Cole Kind of put that together so I appreciate that so any other comments I know last time Alexandra we're gonna work together on and getting some more connections Okay, any other any other questions on that or comments Okay, hearing none. Uh, it's been a tradition except last year to decorate the Christmas tree here at City Hall Sorry, that's some information on that Yeah, typically we would do that at our December 3rd committee meeting But seeing is how many are attending virtually Just wanted to get the sense as to if there was perhaps some other thoughts as to how go about how to go about Doing the tree decoration if assuming we're still wanting to do it That if we had you know if certain people came on certain days or or something I mean any of those types of options that you could say okay Well, this person will come on Tuesday at three o'clock and you just you set a certain time And as we know it doesn't take that long to put up all the ornaments So just wanted to put it out there for discussion as to what the thoughts were Do we have some ornaments left because I know a few for break every year Yeah, whatever was yeah, whatever was taken down has been boxed up and you know, this is this is year two back in City Hall So everything should be We're gonna go in the entrance in the same spot as last year. Okay. Yeah So what's the I mean Sarah's idea what we still want to do the tree and just come in shifts or Or have a few volunteers and Do it what's the what's the feeling in a group Sarah Do you think there might be some individuals at City Hall that would want to do it instead this one here? Like during their lunch hour or something It's it's possible But I wanted to put it to this group first because it's always been a traditional international committee Project so I would say if if no one is interested in Doing that then that's probably the route that we would go But we just need to make what make that decision Hard can you hear me? Yes, Mark. We can hear you You know I One of the reasons we currently don't go to the meetings star and I is we don't have Too much going on at the meetings normally we would go just for the camaraderie of the meeting but for the December meeting or Otherwise I I will volunteer to help on the tree out, you know, I walk into a grocery store I don't like it, but I have a mask on and I would conceivably walk into the December Third Meeting with my mask on and I'm not gonna be giving anybody a hug But I I guess I I conceivably would do this now, obviously if she wagon really takes a crapper as far as COVID goes but you know We've really gone slid downhill in the last few months Okay, but it is Christmas and well somebody got an idea I'm up for it. I agree with you mark. I think that You know, I don't nobody's there like I would come down and I to help decorate the tree. Okay good, and you're And we need you we need you a pack because you're tall Well, I yeah, the tree is two stories tall And I think I might have rolled over to my room last year So you might not want me having that having to decorate the tree. Okay Okay, well, I get it looks like there's several us that will willing to do it. So I guess we'll We'll find a time to do it something out a couple weeks beforehand and Like week or so before and say hey, are we gonna do this if things are a little more under control What's going on? And and I mean it didn't take us very long to decorate the tree Okay, okay, I guess it is what it is. Okay, well, we'll continue with it as planned and we'll find a way Right, we'll find a way to do it. Okay. Thanks Pat and mark appreciate that so Is there any Which we're getting ready to close a meeting, but is there any Thing that you want to put on agenda for next month or if not just if you have something just email Sarah or I or or Mayor Mike and We're looking for items on the on the agenda We're really looking forward to Whenever we can start planning our trip, but we're gonna keep that off of the agenda until we can really get some sense of what's going on here so Any other business Hearing none, I will take a motion to adjourn Yolanda is our second Okay Okay, we got a watch of seconds. Okay all in favor. Hi pose. Okay. Thanks everyone. Take care of yourselves. Happy Thanksgiving
