 I'd like to call the third meeting of the 2015-2015 Common Council order. Would the clerk please read the quote for the meeting today? Thank you, Mayor. Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important, capture the good things, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, just take another shot. Thank you very much. At this time, I'd like to extend our appreciation to clerk Sue Richards. Governor Walker is named May 3rd through the 9th as Municipal Clerks Appreciation Week.

Next, under Mayor's Announcements, I've got a proclamation today. Just read this. Whereas our city's continuing efforts to address critical issues of safety, energy efficiency, water conservation, and resilience in the built environment that affects our citizens both every day, life, and in the times of natural disaster, give us confidence that our structures are safe and sound. And whereas our confidence is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians, building safety and fire prevention officials, architects and engineers, builders, tradespeople, laborers, and others in the construction industry who work year round to ensure safe construction of buildings. And whereas these guardians, dedicated members of the International Code Council, use the government consensus process to bring together state and federal officials with expertise in built environment to create and implement the highest quality codes to protect Americans in the buildings where we live, learn, work, worship, play. And whereas the International Codes, the most widely adopted building safety, energy, and fire prevention codes in the nation, are used by most U.S. cities, counties, and states. These modern building codes also include safeguards to protect the public from natural disasters such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wild land fires, floods, and earthquakes. And whereas Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council to remind the public about the critical role of our communities, largely unknown guardians of public safety, are local code officials who assure us of safe, efficient, and livable buildings. And whereas resilient communities start with building codes, the theme for Building Safety Month in 2015, it encourages all Americans to raise awareness of the importance of building safety and resilient construction, fire prevention, disaster mitigation, water safety, and conservation, energy efficiency, and new technologies in the construction industry. Building Safety Month 2015 encourages appropriate steps everyone can take to ensure that the places where we live, learn, work, worship, and play are safe and sustainable and recognizes that countless lives have been saved due to the implementation of safety codes by local and state agencies. I now therefore, Mike Van der Steen, Mayor of the City of Sheboygan, do proclaim the month of May 2015 as Building Safety Month. I accordingly encourage our citizens to join with their communities and participation in Building Safety Month activities. We'll turn this proclamation over to the Building Inspection Department tomorrow. Okay, next we'll go on to the Consent Agenda. The Consent Agenda will include items 2.2 through 2.8. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to accept and file all ROs, accept and adopt all reports of committee, and put all resolutions and ordinances upon their passage. Sorry. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on any of those items in the Consent Agenda? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll for passage? I don't have it on my computer. I don't have it on mine either. Well, that's not good. I might be able to get that. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Aye. Motion passes with one negative vote. Item 3 is reports of officers. Item 3.1 is an RO by the city clerk submitting a communication from Tracy Coderbach requesting that she be allowed to park a 55-foot prioria express yacht on the east side of the Sheboygan River directly north of the slips occupied by the Wolfpack Charter Fleet in north of the floating dock for the kayak rental. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to suspend the rules. Is there any objection to suspension? Seeing none, please proceed. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I move to accept and file. Second. Thank you for that motion and support. Under discussion. I'd like to call up Chad Pellecek for a brief explanation. Thank you. What we intend to do with this is this boat is too large to be in our marina. If it was in the marina, it'd stick out into the aisle about 10 feet. So we tried to find a location that would work. It's currently parked on the corner on the other side of the river in front of what's nature's best area. And it's sticking out there too much. And if they move it around the corner, there's some damage to some of those docks, and it's going to be difficult. They asked us if they could park it on the other side. We've done this in the past, as you'll recall, when John Shores had a shoreline excursion boat, that boat was allowed to park there and tie in. So when he was there, it was given to him at $1,200 a year because he had a business, and he was running a business on South Pier. Since these people are not running a business, I have asked them for $3,000, and they've accepted it. So I think it gives us some revenues, and it also helps us in our whole large boat, big boat drafts that we're trying to accommodate in the harbor. So I think it's a win-win. It'll be no further strain on us. We don't have to put any public improvements in. They'll just tie up to it in a way we go. So if the council proves this tonight, what we intend to do is negotiate a final agreement that puts everything in order based on this email correspondence. If there's any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Any questions for Chad? Alderman Boren. Thanks, Mayor. Chad, would that be in the area where Lino's Restaurant is in that area? No, it won't be that far down. It'll be kind of where the old, do you know where the old popcorn, do you know where the old shoreline cruise boat used to park where popcorn planted in that? So you have like Jamaji Salon, and now you have Prohibition Bistro, and then you have Dumper Dance, and then there's that big, larger Plex building. It'll be right outside of there. Okay, thanks. I see no other questions. Thank you, Chad. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Items 3.2 through 3.11 will be referred to various committees. Under resolutions, item 4.1 is a resolution by Alderman Hammond accepting $493,500 in community development black grant disaster recovery funds from the Wisconsin Department of Administration for the 2008 storms and flooding that occurred in the city of Sheboygan. Alderman Hammond. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Again, I'd ask that we suspend the rules. Is there any objection to suspension? Seeing none, please proceed. Thank you. I'd move to put the resolution upon its passage. Thank you for that motion in support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, are we ready to take our roll? Let's try it. Let's try taking a roll with the clerk. There it is. Got it. Got it? Yep. 13 ayes. Motion passes. Item 4.2 is a resolution by Alderman Bellinger authorizing entry into contract with Miller and Associates of Sock Prairie for the purposes of supplying and installing a new playground equipment at Kings Park. Alderman Thiel. Thank you, Mayor. I want to make a motion to suspend the rules. Second. Thank you for that motion. And second. Is there any objection to suspension? Seeing none, please proceed. Make a motion to pass the resolution. Second. Thank you for that motion in support. Is there any discussion on the motion? Alderman O'Sarred. Yes, thank you. I'm wondering how much is this playground equipment that we've got here before? Please go ahead, Chad. This is part of that bank grant, U.S. bank grant that we got, so the total cost is 25,000. And we got 23,000, so there's about 2,000 coming out of the park's budget to make up the difference to the 25,000. But the majority of this will be funded by U.S. bank. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll for passage? 13 ayes. Motion passes. Items three point, rather 4.3 through 4.9 will be referred to various committees. Under reports of committees, 5.1 is an RC by law and licensing who has referred RO number 362 of 1415 and RO number 268 of 1415 submitting various license application and recommends that the beverage operators license application 0697 be denied based on their failure to cooperate with the committee. Alderman Vanderweel. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to refer this back to committee. Second. Is there a second? Okay. We have a motion then to send this back to committee. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Items five, item 5.2 is an RC by law and licensing to whom was referred, RO number 362 of 1415 and RO number 268 of 1415 submitting various license application and recommends that the beverage operators license application 0692 be denied based on his failure to accurately review all relevant convictions on his application, his record of violations related to the license activity and his record as a repeat law offender and his failure to cooperate with the committee.

All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? It's unanimous. I will take a short recess, about three to four minutes.
