This has been published already to I believe Just so if you have Properties that are vacant in the city that we get those registered will help everybody involved Sue has some announcements Yes, I do. Thanks mayor. Just a couple of announcements for property taxes We just wanted to remind the public that the city of Sheboygan property taxes should be paid at any one of the four branches of Community Bank and Trust they should go there or they can drop it off in the silver drop box out in front of our building here at 828 Center So we wanted to remind everybody about that a couple of things that We need to remind people of regarding the elections coming up There's been some confusion and we will have some issues to work through for the first few elections With the change of all the wards districts, etc. And polling locations We were pretty well swamped today We had several articles in the paper over the weekend about new polling places, etc And I found that the easiest way and I would strongly encourage people that have access to a Computer if you look in front of the mayor's podium here It is a state website. It's HTTP colon forward slash twice VPA which stands for voter public access Dot wi dot GOV It's so easy to do. It's a one-step thing going on to our website is great We have the maps in the districts that you kind of kind of have to match what it is until we get that whole thing Together so I would suggest that you go on to the site if you have a computer or access to one It you literally put your last name first name birth date You click enter and it brings up your record and you click on your name And it tells you exactly where you vote what your new ward is, etc, etc It even has a sample ballot for the January 17th election So you'll know what the ballot looks like and again that website is we're gonna be repeating this throughout the night It's HTTP colon forward slash forward slash VPA as in Victor Paul and Dot wi dot GOV as in Victor and for the folks out in TV land Curie is going to be focusing in on this several times throughout the meeting So if we can you know folks can write that down We can call the city clerk's office. However, they are swamped with calls And it is very difficult for them to get back to these to those calls at this time with everything going on So we strongly encourage people to use this website. I used it myself this afternoon. It's very simple Obviously, we're there to help people some people There's there's quite a few people that don't have computers or access to they are certainly welcome to call us And we will help them out with where they're gonna vote The other thing that I just wanted to touch on Briefly is today at five o'clock was the deadline for handing in candidates papers for the Aldermanic races and We are set to go, but there is one announcement in the fourth district Alderman Samson has decided not to run Therefore as an incumbent I need to make a three-day extension For district four only that means that on Friday at five o'clock There are three days up to that point that anyone in district four Can take out there they can declare candidacy take out their papers get their signatures and get it back to us By five o'clock and that will count So if there are any questions on that it is strictly for district four because there's an incumbent that is not running And we wanted to make sure now District four just for the public is bordered to the north by superior Avenue to the west by South 14 Street To the south by Georgia Avenue and obviously the east is Lake Michigan So if anyone has any questions call our number and we'll help you get through that process But it is only a three-day window. So the deadline would be five o'clock now on Friday And that's it. Okay, and that website again is the website is HTTP Colin to forward slashes vpa.wi.gov or give us a call at 459-336 1 Okay, thank you, sir Moving on to the consent agenda 191 through 1907 President Decker our roles and the acceptance placed on file all our C's be accepted and adopted And all ordinances be passed second We have a motion and a second on the consent agenda Under discussion if there is no discussion all in favor A roll call, please Right belt all right for him. Hi Carlson. Hi Decker. Hi common. Hi Hammond. Hi Hi to me. Hi. Hi. I'm Kittleson. I'm at a check racelor. Hi, Samson. Hi, Ben Akron. Hi Bander wheel. Hi, and Percy Hi, 15 eyes motion carries reports of officers to 1988 through 1913 to be referred Alderman Boran Thank You very Ryan. I'd like to pull forward document number 1911, please Okay, number 1911 By the city clerk submitting a citizen complaint from Patrick Gillette against a mayor Bob Ryan being referred to the committee of the whole I would like to make make a motion to refer that to the Special prosecutor Stephen Biskupik versus the council's attorney Joseph Volkner We have a motion and a second to refer that to The special prosecutor Biskupik. Thank you Alderman Boran under discussion Alderman Carlson Nothing Any further discussion? There is no discussion Roll call All in favor say aye. Aye opposed Can I may or should say that I'll abstain? Let's do a roll call. Let's do a roll call Boran hi Carlson. Hi, Decker. Hi, Haman. Hi, Hammond. Hi, Heidemann. Hi, Kyle. Hi, Kittleson. I'm steen Manichek Upstain racer Samson. Hi, Ben Akron. Hi, Bander wheel. Hi, Percy. Hi 13 eyes to abstentions Motion carries Alderman Carlson. Did you have something? Yes, I'd like to make a motion to file this I don't think there's any need to take this the committee the whole I believe it was just Referred to committee. I thought it was to the okay. I was referred to the special prosecutor not to the committee of the whole So you're making a motion to file it. Yes, because I don't think there's a need to take it And we have a motion to file the document and not send it to the committee of the whole We have a motion. Is there a second second? We have a motion in a second under discussion Alderman Boran Thanks, mayor That was kind of the idea Alderman Carlson is that In lieu of sending it to the committee of the whole is forwarded on to the attorneys depending on what they they Intend on doing with it It may want to be sent back to the committee of the whole based on their advice So I wouldn't recommend filing it at this time But at this time I don't want to send it directly to the committee of the whole because Probably the committee the whole would just end up sending it to the attorneys anyway So I would rather keep the document open based on what we hear from the attorneys after it's referred to them. Thank you Thank you Alderman Boran any further discussion There is no further discussion. We will vote on the motion to file As opposed to sending the committee of the whole and I vote would file a no vote would send it to the committee of the whole Correct no, or a no vote would just leave it out there Yeah, and we're just forwarding it on to and forwarding it on but okay Steve Technically if you know you've already acted on a motion on this document It's been dealt with if you want to do something else with it. You should make a motion to reconsider Before you do something else with it Otherwise you've decided to send it to the special prosecutor and can't do that and file it so My opinion it's not on the floor unless somebody There's a motion and everybody agrees to reconsider it or there's majority to reconsider All the men racer I'll make a motion to reconsider this document and Forwarded the document itself to the attorney and file the document is not going to the committee. Oh second Okay, we have a motion in a second to reconsider Under discussion just on reconsidering Just on reconsidering just on reconsidering is the discussion if there is no discussion on Reconsidering we will take a roll call and I vote would be to reconsider it Carlson, hi Decker.
