Mayor and common counsel. I thank you for the opportunity to address you tonight I'm here for several reasons first. I would like to congratulate my opponent alderman manning on his election I'd like to thank the 493 people who supported me in this election I would particularly like to thank a 90 year old lady in Ward 1 who drove herself to the polls to vote for me I'd also like to thank lady from Ward 2 who recently had a stroke and still made it to the polls and voted for me. I Was asked to run for city council by many of these people and they asked me to do the following if I were elected Keep the ambulance in the private sector do not add to cost to the city reduce city debt Require city employees to live within the city Investigate alternative funding programs for the library Develop shared service programs regarding the police and the fire department Find alternative source of funding to build the police department Reduce city spending I Assure not only the people in district 1 who supported me But all of the people in all other districts that I do not support increased spending I've been requested by people throughout the city of Sheboygan to represent them The people spoke on the referendum issues No new taxes and reduced spending That is why tonight, I'm announcing that this afternoon I filed my declaration of candidacy to run from here for the city of Sheboygan Thank you. Thank you Next on the list is Jody Thompson Excuse me. I need your home address please six to four Alabama Avenue Sheboygan Okay, and you have five minutes. Okay. First of all, thank you for hearing me speak tonight. Um, I my name is Jody Thompson I'm a voter taxpayer teacher Concerned citizen and one of nearly 40% of the population that is a dog owner so you can guess what I'm going to talk about I live near the present side of the dog run and I walk on the beach daily in all seasons I'm here to represent some of the 13,000 owners of licensed dog or licensed dogs in Sheboygan and I'm here to propose that the beach that is currently the dog run remain open to dogs The current site is of great convenience to many of the people in the public who are dog owners It's centrally located and accessible from several places for parking. It's clean and well maintained by dog owners There's very little if any Dog waste the larger issue issue would be human waste. I've often found broken bottles cigarette butts garbage It's much worse than any dog waste that I found on the beach It is a safe place and Just because of the area it's located in it's actually very well lit in the evenings Which is very nice for citizens that are out walking there with their dogs It's also safe for non dog owners people who are responsible enough to regularly exercise their dogs are also Responsible enough to regularly vaccinate their dogs and also train them to behave in public places Keep in mind tourists who are dog owners use this facility as well as local dog owners They've spoken with many tourists who appreciate the beach as is that they're allowed to bring their dogs there Even non dog owners like to stop and interact with the dogs at times. There's ample space on this particular beach it's Not at all crowded and sometimes totally vacant in fall winter and spring and Even in summer if you go down and look at the beach aside from the 4th of July There's usually about 50 yards between groups. There's plenty of room One of the few places or this is one of the few places that's open To dogs here in Sheboygan when the few public places and it's very nice if people do want to avoid dogs There's a beautiful beach that doesn't permit dogs right across the river So it's not an inconvenience to people who don't like to be around dogs I'd like to also point out this is a public beach and it's one on which I hope no one business can have claim But something that belongs to the entire public I am where there's a proposed site and a friend has gone to view it and I Too have been up there Too far it's too far on the south side to be useful to some citizens the trail is narrow and treacherous and would be even worse in winter Water access is limited and may at times be dangerous because of the concrete down there It's a smaller expanse of beach and we'll make it more crowded There's no waste disposal stations at the moment and changing that would result in some taxpayer money In addition, it's dark unlit and unsafe in evenings, which fixing that may also be a taxpayer issue It is also a popular place for teenagers to hang out and party which could present Some hassle or even danger to people that are trying to walk their dogs there In conclusion, I'd like you to consider the convenience and safety of the nearly 40% of your voting tax-paying constituency that own dogs and ask that you keep the present location Open to dog owners and their pets and I'd like to thank you for your time. Thank you Next on the list is Debbie de Milan Debbie, could you give me your home address, please? Yes North 35th, and you will have five minutes. Yeah Okay, since there's a minimum of 13,000 dog owners that pay for the license as I'm kind of addressing the same issue, but I'm gonna add a little more I think we should have access to several beaches including the Blue Harbor area where it is right now There's a north side area where I think dogs are allowed there and then the south side area that she visited It had kind of a sulfur smell So in other words, it's a place where no one wants to go And so we just shove the dog owners there and I think they should have just as much access to nice areas as everyone else Also, if there's just one dog area for dogs to refresh themselves Then that presents a concentration of dogs and I I also like the place where it is right now because You get to interact with other people not just dog owners We pay taxes and we pay for dog licenses and we shouldn't be treated as outlaws I'd also like to repeat the request to allow Leashed dogs in parks so that dog owners can enjoy a walk in nature accompanied by their canine companions Beloit is an example of a dog-friendly town and allows dogs on leash in all other parks and It works, you know, I've called there and they says they have no problems So currently residential areas are permitted for walking dogs But lawn pesticides cause cancers and dogs not to mention in their owners as well so we need access to natural areas and Originally animals are meant to be in nature Not just people hoarding it all for themselves, but anyway, I thank you Thank you And let's see last on this is dimple Adams Dimple can I have your home address, please? 1424, Virginia Avenue Sheboygan and you will have five minutes. Okay. Thanks, Susan. Can you let me know when one minute it up? Okay? Good evening everybody. Thank you to the mayor and city attorney and Susan and the council for letting me speak tonight It's really nice to see you all I'd like to Thank Bill Stefan and Donald Van Akron for their service this year and wish them well and their retirement from the council and Marge, we're going to miss you very much and Dan and I hope that we see you back in the future To the rest of you who were reelected last night Bonnie Silas Jean and Who am I missing? Oh Yeah, oh, yeah, Manny. He's not here congratulations and To all the new older persons that I hopefully am going to get to know and get to work with I look forward to working with them which was Mr. Ryan and Mr. Hannah and Miss Leona's and I Forgot, Mr. Bourne. Pardon Thank you Yes, that's right. Mr. Bournes. Yes, and I You know this week my daughter my granddaughter Who is a student at South High? got her report card and She showed it to me yesterday afternoon with great pride. I might add Probably if they show it to their grandmother it is with great pride, but in a way she had five A's and one B plus So I was very very proud of that and it got me to thinking about the past year And wonder how we would do if we had a report card You know at this council is almost coming to an end and So I just kind of like to evaluate a little bit if you don't mind The things that I think you might get an A on would be developing the The committee to oversee the blue harbor situation I think another A that you might get Would be when you voted to Finally have the tasers Took a fight, but we got them another A would be When we went ahead and Kept the municipal court that we had voted on some time back That was another one and there are a couple more And then there's some other issues that I think that we could that we could work on And I know that you know with a report card There's skills involved in getting the kind of grades that My granddaughter got she has to have good listening skills Just have good communication skills And she has to have good application skills And I just wonder you know how the council would really grade themselves If they look back on the progress From one year ago today Are we really better off? than we were I don't know with the headline on the paper yesterday I'm not sure Because the big issue then was the police station And now it looks like it's going to be the big issue again And I am very very very Disappointed in that I talked with several of you this week And I know a couple of you said I don't want to fight anymore I don't think a good healthy debate is a fight I think that's what politics is If we have 16 people sitting here All agreeing on how everything should be done I think we'd be in for a big problem I think it's wonderful that you all come with your ideas And have your own diverse opinions And this is the place where you can iron them out One moment, one minute Okay, thank you And um So this is what we're going to be looking forward to this year And I thought you know last year We could have we had a lot of listening sessions And we're going to be starting some more Oh man, did we listen? We had budget sessions We had listening sessions on where the station ought to be And you know, I don't think anything got decided According to what the majority of the people Came up here and talked to you folks about Not certainly not where to put the police station Certainly not on how to handle the budget Then there was the budget survey that was taken That nobody has seen I'm not even sure where it is Or if we're ever going to see it Or even if it's important We also have a mayor Which I respect very much, Mayor Perez, I do But you always say, why won't you work with me? And I look back at how you appointed your committees last year And I guess my question with you Is why didn't you work with some of the people better? And hopefully you'll keep that in mind this year When you reappoint your committees I'd like to see that from you I think I could give you a better grade on that And that's basically About what I've got to say I think we're going to be revisiting the police issue On where to put it And I think you might want to reconsider where it's going to be And I think a referendum might be in order For Sheridan Park Thank you Thank you Thanks Thank you, Mr. Gillette Ms. Thompson Ms. Demoen And Ms. Adams For addressing the council tonight The next item on the agenda Is the election of Board of Waterworks Through commissioners Vice President Byrd Yes, I thank you, Your Honor I would move that nominations They received from the floor Starting to be done by open ballot And if more than two candidates are nominated The candidate with the lowest number of votes Be dropped from the list of ballots Need to continue until one candidate receives the majority Is there a second to that motion?

those in favor state aye Any opposed I'm sorry I go back It's Alderman Stephan did you have Not on the amendment That's what I thought Now then your honor I do make the motion To pass these ordinance as amended The substitute ordinance Substitute ordinance as amended Is there a second Second Second Any discussion on that Alderman Meyer Thank you your honor I would like to open the floor To the park and forestry commission For their input on this They worked on this for five months And their recommendation has been Ignored or taken off the table And I would like to hear from them Why they chose a different site And I personally have received Communications from people that do not want this Move to the south side They would prefer it to stay At south beach where it is right now But I guess the fact is They do have to move it because of The future construction And things in that area And it would cost fencing to put around it But I would like to hear from Some of the park commissioners As to why they chose a different site Okay is there a second to open the floor There's a second to open the floor To members of the board of parks and forestry commission Any discussion on that Alderman Stephan do you wish to address that issue No On the motion to open the floor All those in favor state aye Aye Any opposed The floor is open Who would like to address the council from the Board of Parks and Forestry Commission Mr. Montemayor please step up sir Thank you mayor This this subject came up on When we first got it was like June 30th of 05 I think Alderman Ebert first spotted up Okay And we worked on this thing for five months Some of the commissioners worked on this thing Very very hard We knew we couldn't please everybody I can tell you this much about The dogs that there's 60 percent of the dogs in this city are not registered Although there's 13,000 dogs registered Just think of how many other dogs are not registered We had a big problem now Because now we have people walking their dogs In the parks which is illegal They also in the south pier area which we are developing There is no definition or a confinement Of the dogs unleashed So the dogs run from Illinois Avenue or from the north part of the pier All the way as far as they can run There is no barriers until it comes to a natural barrier There is a small barrier that can be used on High Avenue A little south of that That's a natural barrier there After that the beach starts again But it runs all the way to the power plant Which includes the lake view area As we worked on this thing And we had a lot of citizen input on this thing A lot Comes a safety factor And that's where we have to separate The dogs and the humans Especially when they're unleashed And this lady that came up with the suggestion That the breed that's left when they get she's correct It's not the responsible dog owners That don't take care of the pet It's the ones that don't And they're all over the city There's dogs running loose at Moose Park In Park Evergreen Park It's like going on and on Evidently we don't enforce it I've seen it at on-board and drive Where they're supposed to be only Those even in that area They run loose So we can see we got a big problem here So the first thing we need We need a fence Around where we're going to put this place But we don't have any money It'll take about $175,000 To fence the ideal place that we do have Which is the old Ash pit On New Jersey Avenue But we don't have any money So that's not an option After many months of studying this thing We came up with a solution That the high avenue area Would be the ideal place for it Because we have a natural barrier On the south side And we have the bluffs So if you think it's about 20 feet tall So the dogs cannot run up that bluff So we don't need a fence at the south end We don't need a fence on the west end What we need is about 30 yards of snow fence To separate the dogs from the public That would be a very small amount of money Mr. Holston and our public's work Would be very minimal cost We could do it that way And that was our recommendation It went from our committee It went back to public works And they decided to move it to the lake view area I can tell you right now That the lake view area right now We have a bunch of illegal dogs in that area already There is the people from Black River All over the county come Use that They come into the park Which is illegal Bringing their dog down to the beach area I've seen dogs in the park itself Just bringing the dog into that park is illegal But it's already been done The second part of that equation is The bluffs in that area are not high enough The grade is about like this grade here You can actually walk down there There's trails all along the park area The whole length of that area That you can actually walk up and down there There's trails all over the place As people There's also wildlife in the wooded part of that park And if you turn the dog loose In that beach You gotta remember what a dog does It's natural instinct There's deers turkeys pheasants I could go on and on and on The dog can run right back up there There's no fence in there The bluff is not big enough To hold that dog But it'd be at least That was our recommendation It was to use a high avenue Because that would be the cheapest way we could do it I don't know why the other than some We can't make everybody happy That's for sure Somebody is going to complain I have a complaint Just having dogs in the parks At my neighborhood Because they don't belong there I think we're encouraging people To break the law by moving this thing to the Lakeview area Even if you change the ordinance Because you have to protect A wildlife that's in there They have to use uh If you fence it Then it would work But again You need money We don't have any money Thank you Thank you commissioner Is there anyone else that would like to address the council? Any other member of the commission? Okay Did anyone I see two lights here One lights uh Alderman Stephan You don't want to speak on the uh This particular amendment here The ordinance is amended Does anyone else? Alderman Sousha Thank you Um Probably about five or five years ago or so I was in a lot of meetings When they started talking about developing the south pier And um There were a lot of promises I think that were made back then I remember at one meeting we were told that As we developed the south pier Sheboygan will become the next Branson We were also told that there was going to be Bridge connecting both sides of the river So the shops on the other side of the river would also benefit And one of the other things that was said at At some of these meetings is that You know Some of the things going on there now Are going to stay the same And one of them was that the existing dog run Is going to stay there And that's there for the citizens And well I know we didn't become Branson I don't think the pedestrian bridge will come Because it's too expensive But when you promise the citizens That you're going to leave the dog run there I think that it was poor planning On behalf of the former Alderman That were in these seats If you tell people it's going to be there Then you need to budget the 175,000 dollars For the fence or whatever it's going to cost Um to now tell the citizens Well now it's becoming populated We've pedestrians there They're going to interact with the dogs With the dangerous situation And we're too cheap to put up the fence Which you know We basically promise you You'd always have this place That's not right So I'm not going to support moving it I think it should stay where it's at And we should be looking at tip six As far as what we can cut We're going to approve a budget of 1.4 million dollars Perhaps there's a little extra in there That we can divert towards the fence Thank you Thank you Thank you Mr. Rosenberg Do you want to speak on that? I'd like to Maybe as a thought I think the proposed dog run should be looked at As a beginning rather than an end This has certainly been a topic That has been much debated I think many of the Alderman may remember When we talked about allowing dogs on the late front trail And that was also a contentious item I remind you When I walk around my block I can call it 19 dogs If dogs could vote I'd probably be Alderman for life Because I happen to think that We need to be more permissive As citizen Montemayer pointed out My original thought was to Let's look at making Sheboygan as pet friendly as possible And I guess I pulled that when I wrote it And it says develop a plan that will enhance Families' abilities to recreate with their pets And minimize the impact on those individuals Not wishing contact with such animals So we have 700 acres of park There's no place in Sheboygan in our park system Where a family can find a park bench And sit with their pet to have a picnic There are many cities that have much more permissive attitudes Beloit, Jamesville, Madison, Milwaukee to name a few I guess the reason I'm bringing this up Is that shortly the Parks and Forestry Commission Will be developing a master park plan And I think given this issue It will be important for those individuals Who are pet owners to organize To come to the table to, again, make their needs known And their desires to have those kinds of protected areas I think it's also incumbent upon The many pet owners to do a number of things It's the law that you register your pet It's important you do that It gives us an accurate census And perhaps most importantly It also funds activities of the Humane Society Pet owners, I think, can be organized I think they can There has been some interest in some effort In fundraising to defray the costs of a dog run That was passed in And I think that this is clearly an issue And an item that won't go away It will, you know And I don't think the dog owners Particularly are barking up the wrong tree By pursuing this So I guess for that I would encourage the dog owners to organize To come together And hopefully continue to pester us If you would with the issues that they have Regarding their pets Thank you Thank you Okay, would you just All in the staff? That's what I was going to ask the city clerk to And the city clerk? The last motion we have is to pass The substitute ordinance as amended And the amendment was to add After Public Works Committee To add the Board of Park and Forestry Commissioners Thank you, Your Honor I agree with a lot of things That have been said here tonight To quote one of my favorite movies I think what we have here is a failure to communicate Because I've had people call me and say You know, nothing against the mayor Both mayors have said at one time The dog park's not moving Or the dog runs not moving They've had Mr. Holton, Mr. Beeble tell them The dog park's not moving Or the dog runs not moving And I understand that we could change anything You know, what we thought 10 years ago Might not be what we want today But I think we, even though the Public Works Committee The Parks and Forestry Committee Spent a lot of time and effort on this And I apologize because I'm, you know I couldn't be at their meetings At a conflicting committee That meant at the same time I have communicated with email with them And personally with some of them I don't think we've looked at all the options I mean, I agree with Mr. Montemayor That I don't think we should have dogs in every parks You know, I don't think that's a good process But we should have dogs in some part You know, I've checked with Public Works My idea was the last site at Evergreen Park You know, you've got a natural boundary Of the forest of Maywood You've got a natural boundary of the river You know, it's very rarely used Because every time I drive by it's chained No, we can't do that My question, perhaps we could The six months that Evergreen Park is closed We could let dogs in there on a leash No, too much dog feces You know, the snowmobile trails Or the, you know My god, the last four years I think they've had about two months total That they could actually ski in there And yet we should close the park to all these people You know, I think we have to look for ways These, the moving the dog run wouldn't be so bad If they had other options If we could communicate with them Here's what else we're going to miss This might be a little down Maybe the run isn't quite as good But we're going to do something over here for you Goes back to what Alderman Berg said We need a long-range plan Perhaps we need people on the Parks and Forestry Committee From the Dog Concern Group Okay Maybe that would help or maybe if they met with that group And formulated a plan You know, I too have walked that beach And a hundred times And I could pick up a garbage bag And fill that garbage bag up with human waste A whole lot faster than anybody can fill it up With dog waste in that beach I mean, sure, there's always going to be Owners that aren't responsible But, you know, I remember questioning Mr. Holton About the Evergreen Park And it was, you know The dog feces, the dog feces And I said, look If some of you find beer cans And we don't allow drinking in the park You know, I think we have to get an attitude That we want to work with these people And find something that, you know We all think is good I mean, they are doing I will give them credit I talked to Mr. Bebel the other day They're doing some work at Greenway Ponds Again, that's an area where The natural topography Maybe if you just needed a fence along Washington You could probably get away with something there But on the other hand That's where a lot of development's happening So I don't know long-term How well that's going to work But I do think we need a more cohesive plan And I guess for that reason I would just move to refer this entire document To the Public Works and Park and Forestry Of the new council So motion is second to refer to the new council Under discussion on the referral On a roll call All those in favor, state aye Any opposed?

Motion carries Please Thank you Good evening I have a handout Actually there's two handouts Dealing with both resolutions And this handout supplements the resolution That you currently have The resolution itself references exhibits And there's three exhibits B, C, and D in each resolution That are currently absent In the one that you have And the reason is because The sale of this is we are Borrowing money by issuing General obligation promissory notes We are selling them in the municipal market And we're doing that By sending out an official statement Which we prepare to do that It's a prospectus on the city And we also Prepare this document And other financial information In request of a bond rating From Moody's Investors Service And Standard and Poor's Now with that We have received confirmation From Moody's Investors Service Of the city's AA3 bond rating And we have received confirmation From Standard and Poor's Of the AA-bond rating And again I'll remind you That these are very comparable ratings Of both agencies One uses numbers Next to it's AA of 1, 2, and 3 And the other uses The symbol of minus and plus To indicate where you rank Within that AA category The 1.4 million dollar issue Is being issued to provide funds For TIFF 6 projects And the 3 million dollar issue Is providing funds for the city's 2006 Capital Improvement Plan projects Both of these issues Were bid on this morning By each one coincidentally We received 6 different bids And that I'll start with 1.4 million Since that's first on your agenda If you look at the second page Of the handout It's referred to as Exhibit B And this is called a bid tabulation So it shows you the 6 firms That we receive bids from And it also shows you The true interest rate that was bid By each of these firms And again it is awarded to the firm That bids the lowest true interest rate So you can see that on this issue Robert W. Bearden Company It's true interest rate of 3.855494% That was the winning bid And you can also see the other 5 firms That bid on this issue The next page is Exhibit C And this is the actual bid form That is again referred to in the resolution From the winning bidder So you can see that this is a bid form From Robert W. Bearden And it contains in the middle part The interest rates And the premium that they bid And the calculation is the bottom left hand corner That arrives at that true interest rate Of the 3.855% We take the interest rates That are on this bid form And it becomes Exhibit D The next page We take those interest rates And put them together with the principal amounts As to how the city repays that debt And it produces the debt service schedule So you can see this is how the principal and interest payments Are made Through the life of this issue Which will be at the end of 2015 And again this is for TIFF 6 projects So these 3 exhibits Will now complete your resolution That you have in your packet So approval of the resolution Along with these exhibits Awards the sale of these notes To the firm of Robert W. Bearden Company At that interest rate of 3.855494 It locks in that interest rate upon your action The city receives the money On April 19th Invest that money and then uses it To pay project costs as they're incurred The $3 million issue Again I'll take you to the second page Which is the bid tabulation It shows you that the winning bidder For this issue The $3 million issue is UMB Bank Out of Kansas City, Missouri The true interest rate on this issue Was a 3.852708 And there are 5 other bidders There are some firms that bid both issues And there are some new bids on each one of these issues So you can see that we just coincidentally Ended up with 6 on both Again the next exhibit C is the bid form As submitted by UMB Bank In the center shows the interest rates That they bid, how they bid them Against the principal amounts coming due That information is turned into the calculation On the bottom left hand corner of the page And you'll see way at the bottom It's the true interest rate The 3.852708 Again those interest rates in the center of the page Become the next exhibit D If you look at the last page of the handout Exhibit D is taking again the interest rates On that bid form And applying them to the principal amounts Through the years 2015 And that becomes your repayment schedule Your debt service schedule And also will be used as your tax levy In every budget year until it is repaid Again the adoption of this resolution Along with this these exhibits Will award the sale of the $3 million notes To the UMB Bank And it will also lock in the interest rates And once again these funds will also be received By the city on April 19th Any questions I can answer? Almost, Stefan? Thank you Your Honor I just wanted to add that These were unanimously approved By the finance committee tonight We had a little more detail And also on advice from Rich Kephard I guess we should split them up for separate votes Okay Okay So I don't know if you want another motion or I'd ask Please make Because I'm on Okay I would just move that 2539 be put upon its passage Motion to second Okay Any more discussion on that?

I move that the reporter committee be accepted and adopted There's a motion second to accept and adopt under discussion Alderman sagali Thank you, mr. Mayor um at law and licensing I did vote no on this only because of the fact that They could not tell me about the security that they were going to be having around their perimeter And I feel that anytime that you have alcohol being served In a different area and on the streets, etc That there should be security that would be patrolling the area to make sure that Who's ever going to be served is you know, I'm not giving it to other people, etc And they they said security would be inside the building, but nothing would be outside So I would also have to vote against no on this because their security Arrangement didn't doesn't seem appropriate for them to be expanding their premise like they would like to Thank you. Thank you May I add though that this is a 36 annual they've had it for 36 years and they've never had problems if it ever comes to where we do I'm sorry. Please excuse me. I'm talking if there ever gets to a point where We would have problems and the police would bring that to our attention, but this is a 36 It's an institution. I think all of you are familiar with that. Alderman sagali. Do you wish to address council? Yes, thank you, mr. Mary. This is the first time and this is the first time anyone is going to be using the The festival type of ordinance that we have passed. So this is a whole different perimeter. They have expanded it outward It's not what they used to have They've expanded it to the streets and around st. Clements I think sue richards could maybe explain a little bit better as to how they're expanding. That's what i'm concerned about I'm not concerned about the whole festival. I think that's a wonderful festival I'm concerned about the security Of because we have expanded that premise That's what i'm concerned about Thank you Alderman mire your lights blinking. Thank you your honor. Um, I'd just like to clear something up. Um, they have a security Hired security team that are working inside the building that day There will be people in the building and outside of the building The outside of the building will be secured by all of their employees The all of the john michael coler art center employees are required to work this event And that is the reason why because they do act as a security And this is a wonderful event The john michael coler art center is a jewel in our city people come here just for the art center And it costs the taxpayers absolutely nothing This is a non-profit organization And this this festival has been going on. This will be the 36th year. There have been no problems even the police department You know confirm that they've never had a problem with this and there should be no problem Accepting this and having this festival this year. Thank you. Thank you. Alderman mire. Alderman right gig Thank you your honor in the committee the john michael coler art center people did bring in some signs Or something that they're going to be posting on the perimeter That people know that they cannot walk past a certain point of this expanded premise I guess the thing that really excites me is this is the first test of our new streets Street festival ordinance and what better place to try than when the the established event for many years. So I don't have a problem with this because it's done under the watchful eye of the police department Chief Kirk and his people need to come back and approve this through the streets festival ordinance that we've put into place There's a lot of checks and balances that go into this before it's even allowed to happen And the way it's set up it may not happen We don't know but there's checks and balances to make sure everything is followed properly So I have no problem with passing this Tonight because of the fact that there are many safeguards that the art center has shown to us Thank you Alderman seven Thank you your honor I would just ask if the city attorney would like to weigh in on this issue if it's an issue of parity that we're going to be providing Approval for this and not anybody else or just your thoughts on it Attorney McLean Thank you I haven't gone to the law and licensing committee meeting. So I'm not familiar with the specifics of what they're doing You know, we did adopt that Ordinance to allow for festivals in the streets under certain conditions Assuming they're gonna have to comply with that As would anybody else who made an application to conduct a similar festival. So I think each one is going to be reviewed on its merits when it comes into the committee. So I don't see a problem with it Thank you attorney McLean any further discussion there being on please call the roll. Madam city clerk Susha Van Akron Vander wheel Bowman Eberg Serta Davis Kittlesen Meyer Montemay or Radke Sigali Stefan 12 eyes one no motion carries 25 59 25 64 will to be referred Reported committees 7 25 65 to 25 67 to be referred Reported committees 8 by finance recommend an intern to a lease with the shaboyan police benevolent association For space in their building for use by the shaboyan county meg unit with the amendment To the lease agreement to change to 740 square feet Alderman Stefan Thank you, your honor. I move the report a committee be accepted and adopted And now just want to notice that the amendment just was that the resolution be be passed to and the substitute resolution be passed as amended Just wanted to add it Okay, just was going to add that the only change was that the square footage was wrong in the original document Okay, thank you. Alderman Stefan Alderman Susha Thank you, your honor. I just also want to mention that we are taking this document. I believe together with 25 24 24 I believe that that's what Alderman Stefan meant to also include the same document that went public protection and safety 25 24 correct And then just under further discussion I I question whether It's right to use taxpayer money And be giving it to the shaboyan police benevolent association Last week they came out with political endorsements and I don't think it's right to take taxpayer money And be giving it to what I would almost consider a political action committee that doesn't seem right They are looking at receiving about eight thousand dollars from the taxpayers within the next year And also being that the election was yesterday and some of the people that are voting on it tonight I don't think it's right if they were endorsed by This organization that they vote on this document because of the timing. It just doesn't look right So I would ask that those alderman that received the endorsement from this group abstain from the vote. Thank you Attorney McLean would you address that sir? Is there a need to ask the people who the element who were endorsed by this association to abstain? I wouldn't think so But you know anyone that does feel that they've got some conflict. I guess Could raise that to the to the body and request to abstain but This money isn't being given to the Police benevolent association. It's a it's a lease City would be renting this space from that organization and Apparently they've been doing that for a number of years just on a handshake or verbal Understanding and this Will put it in writing so that we've got A written lease agreement. It's my understanding that as I say that this has been The meg unit has been utilizing the space paying rent for a number of years, so it's nothing new Okay, thank you attorney McLean alderman kittleson I was just going to ask thank you your honor if Attorney McLean to address that That and I guess he has there would be no reason for Anyone to abstain from it is what you're telling us I don't believe so as I say if this was a gift to the benevolent association it would be another matter if it was You know the loan to them this is A contract to rent space that's been ongoing for a number of years Perhaps the amounts are ratcheted up for inflation purposes Over the period of time, but I don't see that there's any significant change in the They're not using taxpayers money for endorsements is Is that what you're saying? Is that what the question was to they're using taxpayers money for endorsements? Using taxpayer money for endorsements, I don't believe That's their association fund that they were doing endorsements again, this is Lease of space good lease space from somewhere else if the council wishes to do that, but Again, as I understand this is the space that's been leased over the years Without any sort of formal agreement, this is the The formalized Thank you all in gillson all of them and then we'll Thank you, honor I'd like to thank all the sushi for bringing this up because it didn't occur to me that That this could be a conflict not of caution. I will abstain from the vote allman stephan Thank you, your honor I don't know if I was sleeping during the finance committee meeting, but I don't think there's any conflict because the way I read it and understood it We're not giving him any money even for rent this has not been Funded in the past it was rented from a federal grant This lease is in existence, you know because we thought well We should get it, you know in writing if we get to the point where the city does have to pay this rent But it has not yet been paid by the city And hopefully it won't be in the near future It's just that we run out of those funds that we're getting from the I don't know if it was Homo security grant or federal government or whatever for the meg unit those funds have paid it There haven't been city funds yet And the hope is they won't be but in case they are we wanted to have a document Showing that the lease exists right I think Just just so at the element though the council did approve an additional 27 28 thousand dollars out of contingency To fund the meg unit for this year Just so you know so it's not because the federal funding was dropped Okay Okay, we got lots of little lights here all of them Sarah Thank you, your honor I was just wondering if I could ask deputy chief scherven if he would like to elaborate on this I was going to but I wanted the alderman to speak first He might be able to clarify first Oldenburg would you like to Thank you vice president Burke deputy chief scherven. Please step up sir Just to answer your question alderman all this person sushi brought up that uh with these political endorsements Those political endorsements were brought up through the shabuigan professional police officers association This is benevolent association. This is all the police officers. This is supervisors. This is patrol officers. This is detectives This is administrators. This is a separate a separate organization. So it's not part of the uh, or it's uh, a subset of the, uh Patrol patrol organization. This has been something that's been done for about a dozen years The the utilities are essentially paid by the uh, by the Benevolent association the the amount of money that's uh utilized and put out for the city It's an extremely good deal for the for the city purposes. So it's it's something that You know administratively we would support but it's it's two separate organizations if you notice here It says the benevolent association if you notice in the paper It would be the shabuigan professional police officers association that we're making those political endorsements that that you're mentioning Thank you, deputy chief No, but Vice president burton. Yes. Thank you. Deputy chief chairman. I believe that you're a 501 3c corporation. You're a nonprofit I yes, we are but as far as being able to quote that number Being that if they're a nonprofit any nonprofit can't do any political endorsements So if you have that that tax exemption, you're you're really essentially In conflict where you were you to do any political endorsements. It's my understanding Okay, thank you vice president burton. Thank you deputy chief Alderman of an accurate Alderman van der wheel Thank you, honor. Um after the explanation of the two, uh Two entities being separate. I will vote on it Thank you.
