 of the 2016-2017 Common Council to order. Would the clerk please read the quote for the day? How I can leave others feeling after an experience with you becomes your trademark. Thank you very much. Would the clerk please call the roll for the meeting today? There are 12 present. Alderperson Jim Boren, Todd Wolfe, Tammy Robbie, and Rosemary Trester are excused. Please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Next item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes from our last City Council meeting. Alderperson Donahue. Thank you, Mayor. I move to approve the minutes. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. There are no resignations or Mayor's appointments this evening. Next, we'll move on to a presentation. Tonight we have a presentation by Russ Green, NOAA representative for the Marine Sanctuaries Division to give us an update on the Wisconsin Marine Sanctuary nomination and possible designation. Russ, the floor is yours. Okay, thanks. Can I just bust this? That was fast. You guys are really efficient. Man, there I was. Well, thanks for having me. I appreciate the invite and an opportunity to update you on the Marine Sanctuary. For those of you that don't know, the National Marine Sanctuary proposal that has now been published, the proposal documents to create a National Marine Sanctuary in Wisconsin, I'll get to that part, but I wanted to start with sort of just a big picture. It would become one of what is now 13 National Marine Sanctuaries, really across the globe, and they protect a wide variety of natural and cultural resources from humpback whales to coral reefs. Up here in the Great Lakes, it would be about historic shipwrecks. And we do this through a couple of really interesting ways, and they're very diverse places, but through research, resource, protection, education, outreach, and community engagement, that's what they have in common to really create better public accessibility and better value for some of these really special places. Next slide, please. All right, let's see if I can, oh, I know what the next one is, and I'll start talking about it before we get there. Oh, there we go. Curiously, the first National Marine Sanctuary was created in the mid-1970s. This kicked off the National Marine Sanctuary Program, which sits under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It's a program within that. Is the USS Monitor sank in 1862 off the coast of North Carolina in about 240 feet of water. So a long history of protecting cultural resources and also connecting them with the public. If you get a chance and you're in Newport News, Virginia, hit the Mariners Museum, and you'll see the monitor, this really iconic ship that changed Naval warfare and is an iconic piece of American history. You'll see that really well interpreted there. Next slide, please. The last sanctuary to be designated was the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary up in L.P. in Michigan over there in Lake Huron. That was in 2000. That's the last time a sanctuary was designated. What's changed a great deal over time used to be very top-down to create a National Marine Sanctuary. In two years ago, Noah created a community-driven process where a community would get together as many of you are familiar with this already and many have worked on the proposal, the nomination in Wisconsin. So it starts at the grassroots level and sort of moves on from there. We're on the second step of that process now. We're in designation. This is one of only two sites that have moved on to designation. There's another site in Maryland that's also in designation. Thunder Bay is 4,300 square miles and it protects about a hundred historic shipwrecks and I'll talk, I have a few examples to connect the two places as we move on. Next slide, please. Here in Wisconsin, here's the proposal as we have it. So this would be exclusively maritime heritage-based, really historic shipwrecks, protecting those ships that connect us to the past through history and archeology. These were the ships that transformed America through, well, from the 1600s on, Native Americans have been using this area for millennia but really in the 19th and the 20th century, the innovation and the people and the goods that are moving around the Great Lakes on this giant water highway, 1200 miles long. That story, a very American story, is captured in these shipwrecks in the Great Lakes and so we aim to interpret and protect this version or this part of that story here in Wisconsin and you can see the history is strong. The archeology, archeological potential is phenomenal. The recreational potential is phenomenal as well as the heritage tourism. So if you read through the proposal documents and I've got a link at the end to guide you to them, we're proposing, and this is really based on the nomination that was submitted by the governor in the state of Wisconsin and the communities, 39 shipwrecks, 37 shipwrecks in the dark blue area, three counties, it's about 1200 square miles, 1,100 square miles. That's NOAA's preferred alternative and we stuck with what the state recommended but we also included in the proposal, we analyzed Kiwani County, a fourth county. So you'll see two proposals in there, boundary alternative A and boundary alternative B. That's really the big difference between the two in the dark blue area, there's 37, again historic shipwrecks, maybe 80 yet to be discovered in this area. And the proposal is about the history and the archeology but if you read through the nomination and then make your way to the actual designation proposal you'll find that there's a strong education and heritage tourism component and what's so challenging and exciting about the Wisconsin proposal is linking these five communities together from Mequon all the way up to two rivers and really creating one continuous network of a marine sanctuary in Alpine, it's just one town. Here we have an opportunity to really connect towns that already have a rich maritime history are already keyed into the heritage tourism and the sanctuary aims to sort of work on that again with the state and all the work that's been done for 30 years by the Wisconsin Historical Society to elevate and create more value around these places. The second piece you'll see in that proposal are the regulations and those are published in there too the proposed regulations. One of the chief difference in the regulations from say a place like Thunder Bay, here we've chosen to propose to prohibit anchoring on all historic shipwrecks and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary you can only anchor on the shipwrecks. Well you're prohibited from anchoring shipwrecks that have a permanent mooring buoy on them. If they don't have a mooring buoy you can grapple and you can tie your boat to them by grappling through with your anchor. Here our preferred alternative is to prohibit anchoring anywhere in the sanctuary but I would quickly add that the management plan that goes along with this proposal seeks to install mooring buoys on all the shipwrecks. Again it's about compatible use and protecting these places but we also want to make sure our regulations are in line with what we're gonna do on the ground so by putting mooring buoys on there it makes it easier for folks to get to the shipwrecks and also it protects them as well. So those things are really in tandem and those are the main differences on the proposal so that's what has been proposed. Next slide please. And you get a chance here to see some of the fantastic preservation that occurs out there in the cold fresh water Lake Michigan. Next slide please. Couple other shots and you can get the sense of where particularly in these deeper sites anchoring can really be, can be destructive to some of these sites. Shallow water sites you think off of Point Beach where there is really tremendous public access. Often people say well you know I'm not a diver, you know what's in it for me. Tremendous opportunity to connect people again to Wisconsin and our national maritime heritage to the very shallow sites that are off of Point Beach with kayaking and snorkeling. Okay next slide please. And a couple of really up to date examples. So already we're starting to work in support of this designation to do things in Wisconsin that support this mutual interest that all the communities have protecting these places. Research is at the core of what we do. This is an example of a project we brought together all the partners you can see up in the top corner to actually do some work in May. So we'll do some lakebed mapping up in the Manitowoc area and it's dual purpose. It's about really high resolution data to help fishery management, to help habitat characterization but also double dip and of course look for maritime heritage resources. I'll add real quickly and I know I'm gonna run out of time that the variety of partners here bring the resources together to make this happen. This isn't where there's one funding item and we just bring people in. This is really a stone soup to make this happen. And this is the way it would kind of roll out going forward with bringing this happens to be research but education and heritage tourism development would all be the same where we've got a wide variety of partners including private industry. That icon for Kongsburg, that's a world known global manufacturer of sonars. So they're willing to donate a sonar to this effort to make it happen to make sure we get the best data possible. Next slide please. That trickles down to things that are more accessible to the public or more obvious. This site is a screen shot up top. It's a dynamic map where you can visit the shipwrecks in Thunder Bay. We've submitted a grant here in Wisconsin to do a similar one with coastal Wisconsin with the shipwrecks in the sanctuary but also connecting the places ashore. So the Maritime Heritage, the Maritime Museum up in Manitowoc, Spaceport, all the land-based features of the maritime landscape. So it's not just what's in the water, it's connecting those two. So that grant proposal is in. We hope to create a dynamic site to do just what you see up top. In El Pina, they really branded, they became part of the marine sanctuary effort and branded that to create that awareness about heritage tourism. Later in the early summer, we'll bring the Department of Tourism to help us with the branding exercise again to link these communities together. Next slide please. So just an example of things happening on the ground. Already education is a big part of this and it's really its own separate talk but I did want to mention that this also is on the ground. These programs you see to the left are they're out there in NOAA and these are the kinds of partners and grants that we can bring to the table which include K through 12, they include higher education, they also include teachers heading out into the oceans and studying with people like Robert Ballard who you see in the bottom bit there. Up in Manitowoc, they're already working with some NOAA grant money and we've already had discussions with the Denisolavan to figure out how we can move that boat up and down the sanctuary and connect it to all of these communities and do programming. You saw some kids on a boat in the earlier slide. In Alpina, we were able to, with a park service grant, get every fourth grader in Alpina out on a glass bottom boat to connect with the lake. We envision doing something similar with the Denisolavan but through five communities rather than just one. Next slide please. And then finally one of the questions I get asked a lot is well what about the visitor center? Alpina has a visitor center and that's sort of the iconic thing that people latch on to. In our management plan, the draft management plan, you can read this for yourself but this is about creating a plan that connects all of the communities together and the assets and the resources. So be very deliberate. If we were gonna do a visitor center, where would we do it? But maybe we don't need one. And you can see, you know all these places up top. There are already elements in each sanctuary community that if we use them correctly and sort of bind them together, it's in a complementary way. We can create a really cohesive experience for people that wanna come to the marine sanctuary and visit these communities. Next slide please. I mentioned community impact, community engagement. One of the key ways that this occurs in the marine sanctuary program is through advisory councils. Also in our draft management plan is an element to create a sanctuary advisory council here in Wisconsin which is a group of about 30 folks from around the community from citizens at large to recreational fishing, commercial fishing, small businesses that really guide the sanctuary's management so it has that connection to the community. And last slide please. And this is it. This is the website where you can access the documents, where we are in the process right now. These are published. They're online and they'll be there till March 31st. And when that period closes, we'll look at all the comments that we have and maybe by fall 2017 have a final proposal and if no one decides to go forward and the comments suggest that this is a good idea, that's when we would think about, Noah would think about moving the proposal from a proposal of a designation to an actual designation. So March 31st, comments closed and we'd love to hear from you. That's all I got. Russ, that was a great program. Thank you very much. We should also mention that UWS has made office space available to Russ so that he's right here in Sheboygan County most of his time and he just moved into the city about a month ago. So welcome to Sheboygan. Well, thanks very much. And so did University of Wisconsin Manitowoc. I have to say that or they get mad at me when I speak to council up there. Thank you very much. Next we'll move on to public forum. 1704, North 35th Street, Sheboygan. Yes, my speech is about the original contract that the city of Sheboygan, the SASD and DNR signed for the program called the AIDS for the Acquisition and Development of Local Parks signed by the mayor, the superintendent and the DNR in 1994. It was a perpetuity agreement to establish the Field of Dreams as a city park. Now there is no longer any financial need to sell our children's Field of Dreams because of the $29 million granted to the SASD by referendum. Being a park established by the city, the Field of Dreams is protected under city ordinance section 74-2, Establishments of Parks in which it will maintain, quote, establish, maintain and preserve its parks and perpetuity for the benefit and enjoyment of all generations of the city's residents, unquote. In this city of Sheboygan map right here, it lists all the green areas as either parks or golf courses. Since the Field of Dreams is not a golf course, it's therefore a park. According to the city of Sheboygan's strategic plan of 2017 to 2021, the vision statement reads, quote, the city of Sheboygan will be a family-oriented and prosperous community with a wide variety of recreation opportunities in safe and attractive neighborhoods, unquote. The neighborhood of the current Field of Dreams is attractive and beneficial to the community. Why would we remove it? Under respect, quote, treating people with dignity and an attitude of caring and understanding, showing genuine consideration for others, valuing each individual as an individual, unquote. When the neighbors went to the trouble of signing the rezoning protest petition, then the city needs to respect its citizens' wishes, not override them. Under accountability, quote, we maintain an organizational reputation for openness, accountability, and integrity, unquote. The city needs to remain accountable to every neighborhood, not abandoning anyone. Under service, our primary duty is to, quote, our primary duty is to serve the people. We are accessible, consistent, responsive, and understanding, unquote. We want thoughtful responses and understanding, but we feel ignored and forgotten. The way you treat the least of your citizens is a reflection of how you will treat all of your citizens. Under the goal, quote, provide shaboyan citizens with a safe and secure community which invests in outstanding recreation, libraries, community open spaces, maximizing the natural environment, ensure solutions that are sustainable and environmentally responsible, unquote. The Field of Dreams is an outstanding recreational open space and a natural environment. Keeping it is far more sustainable and environmentally responsible than transferring it to a less than adequate space. The goal, quote, refurbish, maintain, develop, and or expand public use places and spaces, and maintain adequate recreational lands to meet current and future recreation needs, unquote. Notice it doesn't say replace recreational lands, but to maintain them. Under, quote, position shaboyan as a desirable place in which to live, unquote. How can the Field of Dreams neighborhood be a desirable place with two medical complexes adjacent to each other? Aurora has the opportunity to not make the same mistake twice of building a hospital in a residential zone. Aurora has prime land, 100 acres on the south side of shaboyan right off the interstate compared to the 35 acres of the Field of Dreams. An excellent goal, quote, conduct more public input sessions regarding key issues to receive support from citizen reticidents and be able to present both sides of issues, unquote. We have presented the negative impact removing the Field of Dreams would have on the community and neighbors, not to mention the loss of the Northside Community Gardens. Most of the neighbors are now cynical that their city representatives do not represent them or care about their input or wishes. Under 2017 action items, quote, continue citizen survey on an annual basis, create a citizen engagement plan, unquote. You need to be responsible to citizen concerns. The citizens were very engaged and gave ample input about the potential demise of the Field of Dreams in 2015. Aurora can build on the south side of their own property and on their own property and annex it to the city or stay in the town of Wilson. There's no tax base with the hospital. Wherever they build will bring jobs and serve health needs. Please let's save the Field of Dreams. Next we'll go on to Mayor's announcements. I'd like to ask Sharpecny Act to join me up at the podium. Tonight I'd like to present a proclamation, whereas February 6th through 10th of 2017 is National School Counseling Week and whereas Horizon for Girls mentoring has a goal of igniting the spark in teenage girls with the ultimate goal of high school graduation and a plan for their future. They are able to currently boast a 100% graduation rate for the girls engaged in their programming and whereas Sheboygan area school district counselors work in collaboration with Horizon for Girls helping the students through life's challenges and whereas a mentor is a caring, consistent presence who devotes time to a young person to help that young person discover personal strength and achieve their potential through a structured, trusted relationship and whereas quality mentoring encourages positive choices, promotes self-esteem, supports academic achievement and introduces young people to new ideas and whereas mentoring programs have shown to be effective in combating school violence and discipline problems, substance abuse, incarceration and truancy. Now therefore, I, Mike Van der Steen, Mayor of the City of Sheboygan to hereby declare February 6th through 10th of 2017 is National School Counseling Week in Sheboygan and call upon public officials, business and community leaders and educators and encourage all citizens of City of Sheboygan to observe this week with the appropriate ceremonies, activities and programs in order to recognize the men and women who serve as staff and volunteers at quality mentoring programs and who help our young people find inner strength to reach their full potential. Shari, I'd like to present this to you and I wish you all the best with your mentoring program. And I'd also like to call the public's attention to our new City of Sheboygan e-newsletter that was released for the first time on Thursday. The e-newsletter is available for a download on our city website. There's a banner ad that you can click on. You'll be taken to that and we'll continue to issue this every month. So if anybody has any ideas to improve the newsletter and add things to it, please let the Mayor's office know it. I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Next, we'll go on to the Consent Agenda. Include items 2.2 through 2.11. All the person down here. Thank you, Mayor. I would move to accept and file all reports of officers, accept and adopt all reports of committees and pass all resolutions and ordinances. Is there a second? All those items that are before us, is there any discussion on anything on the Consent Agenda? Seeing no discussion, will the clerk please call the roll? 12 ayes. Oh my goodness. 12 ayes. Motion passes. Under reports of officers, items 3.1 through 3.9 will be referred to various committees. Under resolutions, items 4.1 through 4.7 will again be referred to various committees. Under reports of officers, item 5.1 is an RC number 299 of 1617 by Finance Committee, to whom was referred, resolution number 152 of 1617 by Alderperson Wolfe, authorizing entering into a promissory note with Gorman and Company for the former Washington School site development and recommends that the resolution be placed on file. Alderperson Donahue. Thank you, Mayor. I move to accept and adopt to file the document. I have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Item 5.2 is an RC 303 of 1617 by Salary and Grievances, to whom was referred, resolution number 175 of 1617 by Alderperson Donahue, amending resolution number 67 of 1617. So as to make certain changes in the city's medical benefit plan for the calendar of year of 2017 coverage, it recommends that the attached substitute resolution be passed. Alderperson Donahue. Thank you, Mayor. I move to accept and adopt and put the substitute resolution upon its passage. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll for passage. Susie and Scott? Aye. 11 ayes, one no. Motion passes. Item 5.3 is an RC number 304 of 1617 by the Finance Committee, to whom was referred, resolution number 167 of 1617 by Alderperson Wolfe, authorizing entering into an agreement with Rupert Mielke for planning and preliminary engineering services related to the expansion of the Sheboygan Business Center recommends that the resolution be passed. Alderperson Donahue. Thank you, Mayor. I moved to accept and adopt and put the resolution upon its passage. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll. Alderperson Bellinger. Thank you, Mayor. I kind of waited here to see if there was going to be any discussion on this and I'm kind of surprised that there's not seen as how the last time we had a study come before us that there was a hue and cry of why do we need a study? We've got all the department heads and subject matter experts in-house. We don't need to be spending money on studies. This study is $34,000. We've also got another study that's going to be referred, number 7.5, to transit for $42,000. So we've got $70,000, some $1,000 worth of studies that we're looking at this evening. And I'm just wondering from my counterparts why there is no outcry for this when there certainly was before. I mean, it was mentioned before, we even had somebody that went to Harvard. I mean, so we've got the subject matter experts. I read the document. We've got a market analysis engineering. We certainly got an engineering department. We've got planning. We've got a planning department. So I'm just wondering why we're doing this when it certainly was the will of the council and it was expressed loud and clear last time that we were not in favor of doing this. Thank you for those comments. Is there any other discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? No. No. Six ayes, six noes. Mayor votes aye. Motion passes. Item 5.5 is an RC number 307 of 1617. Pardon me? 5.4. Okay, 5.4 is an RC number 306 of 1617 by finance. Tumor's referred resolution number 178 of 1617 by all the person will authorizing a transfer of appropriations in the 2017 budget, establishing an estimated revenue and appropriation for the contracted services for planning and preliminary engineering services related to the expansion of the Sheboygan Business Center and recommends that the resolution be passed. All the person down here. I move to accept, adopt and put the resolution upon its passage. Is there a second? Second. We have a second. The motion's on the floor. Is there any discussion on the motion? All the person down here. Well, all I can say is that this business park is pretty important to us. And we may think that we're saving $34,000 here, a little bit there or a little bit there. And yet, if we don't bring in expertise to tell us the very best way to use extremely valuable land that is going to produce significant tax base for us. And we just wing it. I guess I'm perplexed. I just don't understand what the deal is. So what I would assume then is that folks here would have no problem if they had some sort of serious illness and just sticking with their GP, maybe just the nurse practitioner. You know, they know their stuff, they do good work. Why in the world would I wanna see a specialist to determine what I need? I'm just gonna go ahead and just take the least common denominator. Hire and keep on staff, highly trained, focused, specialized experts that could obviate the need for these kinds of studies. We could do that at huge expense and huge inefficiencies. This is a smart way of doing it and I just suggest we get on with it and that we do it so that when we finally figure out what we need to do, we have expert opinions telling us. Oh well. Thank you for sharing those comments. Is there any other discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll for passage? Six ayes, six noes. Mayor votes aye. Motion passes. Item 5.5 is RC number 307 of 1617 by salary and grievances. To whom was referred, resolution number 179 of 1617 by Alderperson Donahue approving a human resources department cell phone usage and bring your own device policy and recommends that the resolution be passed. Alderperson Donahue. Thank you, Mayor. I move to accept, adopt and put the resolution upon his passage. Second. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Alderperson Bellinger. Thank you, Mayor. Could I just get a summary of this? I read the document. I'm just not sure of what the previous policy was or what the changes are in this. Just get a summary of this. We didn't have any previous policy so this is a new policy so that we can allow people to be compensated for their own cost if they decide to use their own phone for city business. And if there's a budget for them to have their own phone, it also mean for a city phone, then it also establishes policies for that person's use of that phone. So are we eliminating the two phones then or is it either you pick and choose what you wanna do? You can choose what you wanna do. Is there any other discussion? Alderperson Jose. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So what kind of freedom do they have? I mean, can they pick a $200 a month plan and the city will pay for it or does the city get, in impetus, are there gonna be a maximum per month that the city is gonna pay? Yes, there is a maximum per month. Do you remember what that is? There are three levels for high usage of $40 a month, moderate use $20 a month and minimal usage $5 a month. Okay. Alderperson Heidemann. Thank you, Mayor. I wasn't at the meeting, but I guess I'm just kind of wondering how do you determine by them using their own personal phone, how often do they use their phone for city business versus personal business? And is the city reimbursed when they're on their phone for personal business? I guess this kind of opens the door of being able to have your phone on at all times whenever are there any restrictions as to having their own personal phone and driving the vehicle? Again, that's a dangerous thing. Do they text? You know, I don't know what all goes into this ordinance. Many of those items that you brought up are included in the policy such as usage associated with hands-free if an employee is driving. Again, this policy, the amendment associated with this policy, which was drafted by the assistant city attorney, again, as Mayor Van der Steen identified, really focuses on bring your own device. And so if an employee brings their own cell phone, we don't restrict how they use it for personal use. We're only trying to reimburse them for city related activities. It's going to be up to myself and the department head and HR director to determine which of those three categories, $40, $20 or $5 that they're going to be eligible for. In some cases, the minimal use, the $5 per month is going to be seasonal. So it may not be 12 months out of the year. Is there any other discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll for passage? Scott. Aye. Nine ayes, three noes. Motion passes. Under ordinances, item 6.1 through 6.4 will be referred to various committees and then we'll move on to other matters received after the agenda was published, city attorney. 7.1 is a resolution by all the person Bellinger, authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a revised state municipal agreement. This relates to the design and construction of the State Highway 42 Calumet drive reconstruction from main avenue to North 26th Street scheduled for 2017 construction. That'll be referred to the public works committee. 7.2 is an RO by the city clerk submitting a communication from Christopher Gable, requesting a waiver from the sex offender residency restrictions in order to live at 2501 North 6th Street. That'll be referred to public protection and safety. 7.3 is a resolution by all the person Thiel authorizing the purchasing agent to enter into a contract for the purchase of two full-size pickup trucks and one compact pickup truck. That'll be referred to public protection and safety. 7.4 is a resolution authorizing the purchasing agent to enter into a contract for the purchase of a Harper Dew ease slope mower for the mowing of steep inclines for the public works department. It's a resolution by all the person Bellinger. That'll be referred to the public works committee. 7.5 is a resolution by all the person Wolf authorizing a purchasing agent to enter into a contract for the provision and performance of a parking study for downtown Sheboygan. That'll be referred to the transit committee. 7.6 is an RO by the city clerk submitting a communication from Charlie Cleyma requesting the opportunity to speak to the committee responsible for the policy concerning the cost of sidewalk repair after true root problems. That'll be referred to the public works committee. 7.7 is an RO by the director of public works submitting a traffic signal warrant study for State Highway 28 Washington Avenue at 32nd street intersection. That'll be referred to public works. 7.8 is an RO by the city clerk submitting a communication from Adrian Rinewand requesting a waiver from the sex offender residency restrictions in order to live at 815 St. Clair Avenue. That'll be referred to public protection and safety committee. 7.9 is an RO by the city clerk submitting a claim from Brittany A Bremer for alleged damages to her parked vehicle when a snow plow allegedly hit a manhole cover and it hit her car. That'll be referred to the finance committee. 7.10 is a resolution by Alderperson Wolf being a declaration of official intent by the city of Sheboygan to reimburse an expenditure with the proceeds of a borrowing or borrowing authorized by the issuer. That'll lie over. 7.11 is an RO by the city clerk submitting various license applications for the period ending December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018. For DeLon licensing. 7.12 is an RO by the city clerk submitting as a matter of record the Sheboygan County Humane Society's annual finance report for 2015 with the 2016 to report to follow in May. That'll lie over. A city attorney also had a note that you wanted to make on the vote on the financial appropriation. I have my note back, so I have the, just budget transfers pursuant to two dash 906. When their budget transfers from an unencumbered balance to another purpose, they require a two thirds vote based on that item 5.4 actually failed. The mayor was not able to break the tie on that. Thank you. Next as a contemplated closed session, Alderperson Donahue. Thank you mayor. I move to convene and closed session under the provisions of section 1985 sub one, sub E where competitive and bargaining reasons require a closed session related to a development opportunity with the Founders Club, 930 North 6th Street and a development opportunity on the city on 57 acre parcel and County Highway okay. Is there a second? Second. Okay. Please call the roll for closed session. Scott. Aye. 11 ayes, one no. Motion passes. We'll take a short recess until quarter two of the hour. And I just want to advise the public at home that we'll be adjourning in closed session. So this will end our session for tonight. Thank you very much.
