Public works saw an 8% increase, fire department 6%, and municipal court 6%. To note, fire department, again for excellent or good ratings is at 93%. Where do city residents receive their information? 62% said the city's website. This is the first year that the city's website is rated as the top source of city information. Previously Shiboygan Press, both in the 16, 2017, 2018, was the top source. Shiboygan Sun has always been in the top five as a source. City's Facebook, this is the first year that they've been in the top five as an information source. Other information sources that received a rating of 20% or higher is the meet public library website, Plymouth Review, The Beacon, Police Department Facebook, Shiboygan Insider, which is our newsletter, and visit Shiboygan.com. We asked the citizens who responded to the survey regarding funding rising costs of services. How would they accomplish that? We gave them four options. The highest choice selected was use a combination of increased property taxes, user fees, or charges. This came in at 48% or almost 50% of the respondents. We also asked in the 2019 survey, give us the three most important reasons why you call Shiboygan home. Proximity of friends and family was number one, proximity to employment, number two, and rounding out in a third position was proximity to Lake Michigan. As I mentioned, we had several open-ended questions, one of which was, please give us suggestions for 2019 to 2020 projects or initiatives. What we did was a cloud. So the larger the font means the more frequently these words or phrases were mentioned in the responses. No surprise. You'll see in this cloud, street repair, fixed streets, road repair, fixed roads, they were the number one category. The next open-ended question was, please provide comments about city government related services or projects. Again, in this word cloud, roads, streets, comments about neighborhoods, comments about housing were the most, the three most frequent. We received for the first time several great jobs in the comments. Interestingly, there was frequently the comment none. So hopefully that means that people are really satisfied with the work that's been done and the initiatives that you've undertaken. Next slide. Again, both older persons and management team will use this information to provide support for the city's strategic plan six focus areas. The survey responses are available on the city's website and the 2020 survey will occur between February and March of 2020. In order to increase the number of emails that again, we can use to communicate with our fellow citizens, we offered a hundred dollar Sheboyin County Chamber Gift Certificate. Tracy was the lucky winner and she provided us a quote. I'll just read it quickly. She states, I just love the city. I wish more of our fellow residents would recognize its potential and embrace all that it has to offer as a new residence of only one and a half years. My neighborhood and city as a whole has proven to exceed my expectations. We like Tracy a lot. So congratulations to Tracy. And that concludes my presentation this evening. Thank you very much for that update from the city survey. City clerk. Is there anyone here for public forum? There is no one this evening. Next, we'll go on to Mayor's announcements. Well, we had an interesting week with major snowstorm of 15 inches and extremely cold weather. This was our first snow emergency. We were able to use the new ordinance that was passed recently and just wanted to give you a little bit of an update. The snow began at 9 30 on Sunday, the 27th. The snow emergency was declared starting at eight o'clock on Monday, January 28th. We got the word out about four hours prior to that snow emergency was in effect until seven o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, the 29th. The snowfall ended about seven 30 on Wednesday, January 29th. We had 34 employees who worked 646 hours to clean up the snow from our streets department. Department of Public Works employees drove 13 plows and salt trucks, four front end loaders, 4,369 miles during the operation. That's the equivalent of driving from Sheboygan to Los Angeles, California and back. The Department of Public Works used 221 tons of salt to try to clear our roads and make them safe for people to drive on. The Sheboygan Police Department issued approximately 200 tickets for illegally parked cars and had 90 illegally parked vehicles towed during the snow emergency. I want to take this opportunity to commend everybody on the plowing crew. Also our streets and sanitation department for the extra work they had to do with adjusting the garbage pickup, the police and fire department, transit and parking, the water utility staff for working through this storm and the very cold weather. And also recognize all of our other city departments, City Hall and all these other departments stayed open during this inclement weather and they got to work to serve you during this difficult weather condition. I'd just like to remind the elders that League Lobby Day is coming up on Wednesday, the 20th. If you have any interest in participating with us, let me know and we'll line up a van to take those down to Madison for that event. And I just want to remind everybody it's 119 days until we're moving back into City Hall for our council meeting on June 3rd.

I was really happy to see this and I guess my question for the city attorney is do you foresee any challenges to particularly the sale of? No, the primary concern that we had was enforcement given that probably the majority of these products are not sold in the city of Sheboygan but outside, but voluntarily most of the larger retailers have voluntarily taken these items off the shelf. So we don't expect a challenge. Okay, thank you. Mr. Mayor, just kind of wanted to kind of voice the support from the committee from public works as well. I think that this is definitely a good step in the right direction for our city, especially the impact that a lot of this would have on our lake or parks, young ones, older ones, animals of all sorts. So I just want to voice my support. I think that this is a good step for the city. Thank you.
