Hi 14 eyes Motion carries congratulations Now the fun starts yeah Our mayor's announcements we will keep this brief this evening.

And it's a feel-good project, so people like to jump on board on those. That's great. The more the merrier. That's good. Under discussion. No further discussion? Roll call, please. Vanderwheel? Aye. Vu? Aye. Wangaman? Aye. Boran? Aye. Bulk? Aye. Bowers? Aye. Decker? Aye. Gisha? Aye. Fourteen ayes. Motion carries. Nine dash 35, resolution number 57 dash 0, 9 dash 10. By all the persons. Gisha, Serac, Bulk, Vu, Koth, Kittelsen, Heidemann, Rindflash Playa Unis, Wangaman, Decker, Bowers, Hanamonte, Meir, and Vanderwheel, authorizing the mayor and all appropriate city officials to organize and negotiate the potential use of Sheboygan County Huber Law Participants to do assigned work as directed. Vice President Gisha. Thank you, Your Honor. Once again, the long list of names. Same issue. I move that the resolution be put upon its passage. We have a motion in a second. Under discussion? No discussion. Roll call, please. Vu. Hi. Wongamon. Hi. Boran. Hi. Bowers. Hi. Decker. Hi. Gisha. Hi. Hanna. Hi. Heidemann. Hi. Coth. Hi. Kittleson. Hi. Montemayor. Hi. Siruk. Hi. Van Der Wiel. Hi. 14 ayes. Motion carries. 9-69. Resolution number 58-09-10 by Alderpersons. Gisha, Clayunas, Boran, Montemayor, and Heidemann, authorizing Waving the Competitive Bidding Process and Entering Into Contract for City Development and Building Inspection Department Furniture. Vice President Gisha. Thank you, Mayor Ryan. I move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Second. Have a motion and a second. Under discussion? If I may, Your Honor, it always gets a little skittish when you're waving a competitive bidding process. I think it would be important for the public to understand that these vendors for this furniture work with the State of Wisconsin program, which is where we buy a lot of stuff because they negotiate the lowest bid via a larger universe of all municipalities in the state. So it isn't as though we're just picking one. This is the lowest bid through the Wisconsin process. This is basically the bid that has been worked out by the state for a group buying program. Correct. And that works the same way with trucks and trailers and stuff like that as well. Very good. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. Wongaman. Aye. Boran. Aye. Bauch. Bowers. Aye. Decker. Gisha. Aye. Hanna. Aye. Heidemann. Aye. Van Der Wiel. Aye. And Vu. Aye. 14 ayes. Motion carries 9-71, resolution number 59-09-10 by Alderperson Gisha, authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into the First Amendment shared services agreement for purchasing agent services with the county of Sheboygan. Vice President Gisha. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Sure. We have a motion and a second under discussion. Thank you, Your Honor. If I may, this agreement will continue the arrangement we have with shared services with the county of Sharing Bernie, the joint purchasing agent. We have had an update at the City County Shared Services Committee on several efforts that have already borne financial fruit, in other words, saving tax dollars. And it was basically a run for the first six months. This allows you, I believe, Your Honor, to enter into the final contract to extend that out for another six months, and we'll kind of keep the ball rolling. And Bernie does do a fine job, and we've seen nothing but good results. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. Born. Aye. Bauke. Aye. Bowers. Aye. Decker. Aye. Gisha. Aye. Hanna. Aye. Heidemann. Aye. And Wongerman. Aye. 14 ayes. 9-70, RC number 156-09-10 by salary and grievances recommending approval of the shared services agreement for purchasing agent services. Alderman Bult. Mr. Mayor, I move that the RC be accepted and adopted, but in light of what we just did, I'm not sure that it needs to be. So should it be? We can just accept and adopt. Okay. All right. Then accept and adopt. Analyze. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. 9-45, general ordinance number 9-09-10 by Alderpersons Gisha, Clayunas, Montemayor, and Heidemann amending various sections of the municipal code relating to the timetable for preparation and presentation of the proposed annual budget to the Common Council. Vice President Gisha. Thank you, Your Honor. I move that the general ordinance be put upon its passage. Second. Motion in a second. Under discussion? Thank you, Your Honor. This change to city ordinance is kind of a cleanup of the old process of the budget that had kind of some arbitrary dates that often year to year ended up being on a Saturday or a Sunday of certain deadlines. This sets a new procedure and process for our budget that I think all department heads as well as yourself have been participating in and sets up a new schedule for that and this change in ordinance will allow for the flexibility in doing that. Thank you. Any further discussion? Alderpersons Kittleson. Thank you, Mayor. It just says throughout your honor before the date established each year by the Common Council so we will be establishing that date or do we have a date? Can I? Vice President Gisha. We will be establishing that date. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. Boke. Aye. Boke. Aye. Decker. Aye. Heidemann. Aye. Koth. Aye. Kittleson. Montemayor. Aye. Surrick. Aye. Vanderwheel. Aye. Vu. Aye. Wangaman. Aye. And Bourne. Aye. 14 ayes. Motion carries 9-66 General Ordinance Number 10-09-10 by Alderpersons Boke, Kittleson, Koth, Heidemann, and Gisha amending the municipal code so as to delete and create the secretary court services in the police department's table of organization. Alderpersons Boke. Mr. Mayor, I'd move that the ordinance be put upon its passage and I'd move to amend one small portion of it. That portion being in the middle column, the job code you see under create secretary court services, it starts with the letter C. Need to undo that, that's a misprint. And we need to replace it with the code D is in dog 10860A. Tell me again where that is. Sorry. D. No, I'm sorry. Tell me where it is under create. Under the job code. Okay. The very bottom job code. So take out C-105-11A. Yes, ma'am. And put in what? D-108-60-alpha. 60-alpha. Thank you. And what this document does is it fixes the document 1036 that lies over until our next meeting where there is minimum qualifications missing. This replaces that document which has the appropriate minimum qualifications. So this would supersede that page in your packet. Very good. Any further discussion? Oh, a second on the amendment. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. We can just analyze on the amendment first. Okay. On the amendment. Amendment only. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Now I'm passing the move to put the ordinance upon its passage as amended. As amended. Second. And a second. Under discussion. No further discussion? Roll call, please. Bowers? Aye. Decker? Aye. Gisha? Aye. Hanna? Aye. Heidemann? Aye. Cuth? Aye. Kittleson? Aye. Montemayor? Aye. Lough? Aye. 14 ayes. Motion carries. Other matters authorized by law, 10-38, a resolution for Aldermen-Wangaman, authorizing entering into an agreement for interim human resource and labor relations consulting services with HR Unlimited LLC. Aldermen-Wangaman. Thank you, Your Honor. I would move that this document, the, we ask for suspension of the rules reference this document. We have a motion to suspend the rules. Second. And a second. Under discussion on suspension. Just as a matter of information, I think everybody in the room is well aware of the situation with the HR director and the urgency needed to get a new HR director as quickly as possible if the place and passage of this document would immediately would do that. On the suspension only. Any further discussion? On the suspension. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. I would, I would then move that the resolution be put upon its passage. Motion in a second to put the resolution upon its passage if I just may make a short explanation on this. This is a gentleman who is here this evening who has a, comes well recommended. He will be working in a capacity as an interim HR consultant for the city. Every experience in labor negotiations will be coming on a part time basis. Our permanent HR director should be hired hopefully within about five weeks. We have ball rolling on that. However in the interim we want to make sure that we have all our ducks in the line and that our HR department is going forward rather than things falling through the cracks. We can't tolerate that. Then we're looking at his Tom Rice and his company which is HR Unlimited LLC is what he will be working under. Any discussion? Vice President Guesha. Thank you Your Honor. I'm sure Mr. Rice is a very qualified person. However we don't have any of his qualifications or his company's qualifications here. Would it be appropriate to have Mr. Rice give us some background on his company himself, how he sees this working with our HR department, how they work with other people in similar situations. That would be quite helpful on this vote. Very good. We have a motion to open the microphone to Mr. Rice. Motion to second all in favor. Opposed? If you could just pull the microphone. Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Let me give you a brief background. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. I've spent my entire working career in HR. I started with Ford Motor Company then on to US Steel and several other companies since that time. Most recently was employed by a company called Track International in Port Washington, Wisconsin for 11 years. Was basically laid off at the end of that 11 years because they sold the company. It was my responsibility to close the plants and lay off 540 employees. I was the Vice President of HR. Since that time I've been doing consulting. I consult with two primary companies right now. One of them is Morgan Aircraft. You may be aware of them. They are in the process of putting together a business that's going to create a number of jobs for Sheboygan County. I also do consulting with another company called Digitena, which is growing rapidly, making digital antennas for commercial use. In terms of labor relations, I've done labor contracts with the Machinist Union, the Boilermakers Union negotiated at least eight contracts with those unions over the years. I'm very familiar with all benefits and typical HR and general personnel type of activities. So are there any questions? Alderman Gisher. If I may, could I mind I'll sit while we do it. Do you have any municipal experience? I do not. Can you, you might, thank you. Even the document, not your fault, in front of us, it doesn't, and by the way, I'm forward doing this, so I'm not trying to derail this at all. There's no mention of rates, fees, budgets, dollars. Look on the back. Expected, so I'm kind of curious as to what we're paying you. What we've agreed to, and there will be a contract drawn up, Terry Hansen and Attorney McLean. On the back of the resolution. Yeah, the back of the resolution has some numbers, sorry. But there's no mention as to how many hours his firm would be working. What's the top end? He'll be working as needed. Maximum hours would be 30 hours a week, but that will be determined by myself. How many hours that Mr. Rice will be needed, that would be maximum. This is only for this short period. To get us through the next five weeks or until we have a permanent HR director. So it is not a full-time position, there will be some days where, you know, we'd like to keep her down closer to 20 hours, but it could be up to 30 hours in a week. If I may? Certainly. That's great. And I applaud you for taking such swift action and finding obviously a qualified person to do this. Would it be appropriate, however, this document doesn't speak to budgets and dollars. This is an open checkbook and an open contract end. I know sometimes we would like to get things done quicker, but circumstances being what they are, this could take longer than just a short period of time. Would it be appropriate, and perhaps it would, if other aldermen have some input on this, that we would put a maximum dollar amount on here, not to exceed? I would not be opposed to that. If I may then offer an amendment in a manner that's appropriate, maybe an additional now, therefore be a result, or just add it to the final sentence saying, with expense not to exceed $20,000, I'm throwing a number out there because I don't have a calculator here to do a quick math. That's about 10 weeks. That's about 10 weeks. That's 10 weeks? You know, I'd hate to do it too short, then you have to go back. Terry, you confirm that one, 10 weeks? Then I would like to offer that amendment to not to exceed a total contract amount of 20,000, if not, if you wouldn't mind just coming back. And that should be sufficient. I don't want to strangle it, but we have to have some sort of end game. Alderman Hanna. Yeah, I just wanted to weigh in. I was familiar with Tom's work when he was with track and he was very well respected, I think we're very fortunate to have somebody in his caliber. Thank you, sir. President Warren. Thank you, Mayor Ryan. And just so the public knows that $20,000 would be, it's my understanding that $20,000 would be coming out of salary that we had allocated previous HR directors. So we're not having to scramble to come up with another 20. This was budgeted for the person who just left city employment. Exactly. Alderman Boe. I was just going to thank you, your honor. I was just going to give Alderman Gysha the number he needed. That's good math, good math. Terry, nine weeks. Okay, nine weeks should be sufficient. By nine weeks, hopefully, we will have an HR director hired. So we will put that as an amendment to this amount not to exceed $20,000. Very good. That's, I'm at your disposal, whatever works. I just, I want to fill in in the interim so that I spend a few minutes with Vicki the other day and I think we could work well together. And I just want to be able to take some of the heat off of her during this period of time as she's working. So. And Vicki is the secretary down in the HR department. Okay, any further discussion on the amendment, did I hear somebody buzzing in here? Nope. Alderman Bulk, are you, okay, my light should, you're off. On the amendment only. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. So we have that amendment. Got the amendment. Now we go back to the original motion as amended. Okay. Alderman Longerman. I will then make a motion to put the document as amended upon its passage. Okay. Motion in the second as amended. Does anybody have any more questions for Mr. Rice? Face down. Thank you. All the first amount to Mayor. Thank you, Mayor Ryan. I think this is kind of minor, but just on terms number seven, the city and our consultant reserve the right to terminate the consultant agreement by giving written probably notice instead of not. Yeah. Written notice. Right. That's all. Very good. We'll just call that a typo so we don't have to make an amendment. Any further discussion? Roll call please. Bulk. Aye. Bowers. Aye. Decker. Aye.

Hi opposed motion carries. Thank you, mr. Mayor What this does is creates It's a little bit of an incentive but really what it is is When we lay off Or if we lay off some additional public works people it's going to cost us about $10,000 per person in unemployment compensation that the city has to pay to those people for the the weeks that they would be unemployed The beginning of that unemployment journey So that what the salary and grievances committee has done is said let's see if we can offer that $10,000 to some employees that might be might choose to retire Get them to retire and then that would save us from having to lay off those three or four public works employees So what this is and normally I wouldn't be a fan of Paying someone to retire early But in this case we're going to spend the money anyway That's one and two the to has already been changed and and we need to be really clear that that to is going to be enforced come August 31st and so after this incentive if enough people don't retire We will lay off the appropriate number of people to get us to the public works to so in that spirit I'm very much in support of this potential bonus all of them about we still need a Motion to pass the resolution and I would move to pass And a second and a second under further discussion we had Alderman Bowers in first He answered my question very good Alderman Hannah great. Thank you. Just some clarification. Do we self-fund our? Unemployment our unemployment Bonuses then come out of that self-fund so when I could pay this because we've already funded right what it what it is Is if is if somebody goes out on a plane, but we don't have an unemployment compensation fund in the city So we funded as it occurs we funded occurs so basically all you're doing is journal into a different account right right the number is 94 9400 and change if somebody an entry-level employee maxes out there 26 weeks unemployment It's 10,000 if we can get somebody to retire that can keep a younger employee Or an entry-level employee maybe with a wife and a kid at home working And that's just I just didn't want to have this already have set money aside and then not be able to access it. No, okay No, this is great. Thank you Any further discussion president born nothing Thank you Any further discussion?
