Especially the one at the superior discount liquor store on South 8th Street near Schwartz fish market in the parking lot Over there by the South 8th Street bridge that goes over the Sheboygan River. He wants in so Let me tell you a few facts about sparkies that you might not know unless you took notes like I did Did you know that you can hear Calypso music at sparkies music that reminds you of the islands like the Bahamas or the St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands songs like yellow bird the girl from Impanema and Margarita Margaritaville sung by Jimmy Buffett tequila On the sparkies menu you can find regular hot dogs for $2.50 chili dogs for $2.75 Cheese dogs for $2.75 crout dogs for $2.75 for all your German crots out there Slaw dogs for $2.75 chili cheese dogs for $3 Crout cheese dogs for $3 for all you German croutes out there who love Wisconsin cheese and don't forget To go to the Sheboygan County Historical Society Museum next to Sunny Ridge Nursing Home on Erie Avenue and check out the book cheese factories of Sheboygan County You'll actually find my childhood house there in that book on Highland Road Last but not least don't forget the sparkies Chicago style hot dog for $3.50 Which includes and I have the menu here so kindly given to me by Steve Includes cucumbers tomatoes diced onions relish mustard sport peppers pickle spear and celery salt and so Other items on the menu include cheese nachos to $2.75 chili cheese nachos $3 walking Tacos $2.

I could Sheboyin has some of the best restaurants hot dog stands ice cream shops and eat some places. Don't you agree? Thank you Thank you Next time our list Excuse me milt storm milk. Can I have your home address, please? Yeah, this is a 1736 Marvin court And that's in Sheboyin And you will have five minutes or I'll try Thank you for this opportunity to address the common council this evening Every morning. I usually go to McDonald's, but I was a little late this morning To visit my conservative friends and my liberal friends as well And the reason I was late was because there appeared an article in my Sunday store Sunday my Monday mornings paper and I Accidentally did put some maple syrup on there. So I got a little poor But it says here that three officers earned master's degree And I do know Scott Middlestead and I know Kurt Zimple I don't know Doug too well, but I haven't known Chris Demogalski our peace chief But he blew me away, but some of the reporting in this article Organizational we have stressed the values of integrity leadership professionalism competency Accountability and teamwork as well as strong belief that we should seek constant improvement and embrace change police chief Demogalski Well to the seven I would add another one that is transparency or understanding I'd like to read a Press article that was in the Sheboyin press. I think it was It's March 28th, 2008 and it's written by a former older person Be wary of council candidates with emotional ties to the police department When I was elected older person in the Sheboyin two years ago police chief David Kirk gave me some great advice He said I would be faced with a lot of tough decisions He said the best way to make good choices was to remove the emotion from the situation based my decisions on the facts Being that I didn't have any emotion ties to the city. It wasn't hard for me to be unbiased But she happened to be the daughter-in-law of a former mayor. I Asked questions laid the facts on the table and kept emotions out of my decisions I have serious concerns about the emotional ties some of the older Maddox candidates have with the Sheboyin police department Bill Wagamon Bruce Christensen and Lyle Lander ways are all retired policemen Barbara Tysinski is currently married to a policeman Dimple Adams and Susan Lesser have publicly shown their bias for the police department on multiple occasions That's a big fat. You know what I Believe if it will be extremely difficult for these people to make decisions in the best interests of the taxpayers Sheboygan is blessed with having an excellent police force, which is why we are the sixth safest community in the United States of America electing people with the most With the emotional ties to the police, but isn't the answer to the issues that face the taxpayers of a Sheboygan Well, that leads me out because I'm one of the most compassionate people for the police department and that is written by Rene Shusha I service her father's For the Laws TV set and also her grandfather Lutz Shusha I know I'm very I attended the funeral of Mayor and I did speak to Rene and Our Democrat DNA, but she had the trouble with Susan Hundley called her loose lips I'm not gonna say what anything amen to that. I don't know A number of years ago my son and I were Served by a young humong lady With a name tag of grace Now amazing What a name of grace is now I'm not gonna sing but I like to repeat amazing grace. I'll sweet the sound Let's say the wretz like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found was blind But now I have transparency. I learned transparency from my mother Sixty years ago when she said to me and my brother that we could have everything the chicken laid except the egg I Called that understanding and closing if you have any police officers besides the three mentioned in the press a word of kindness May lift their spirits into understanding or is that transparency? Thank you very much. Thank you For this evening Thank you. Next we'll go on to the mayor's comments.

Mayor just for the benefit of those out at home. This money is being Provided to the public works department to do some certain resurfacing of much needed Or badly needed road repairs So again the idea behind this is that we can start repairing some of the roads that have fallen into disrepair Over the course of the last several years So in case people are wondering what the funding is for that's what it's for Thank you very much for those comments any other discussion All those if your favorite motion press your I button or your name button clerk could call the roll Item 6.2 you'll be referred to public protection and safety 6.3 will be referred to public works under reports of committees Item 7.1 is an RC by the law and licensing committee recommending denying a beverage operators license number 9946 based on his failure to accurately reveal all relevant convictions on his application His record of violations are related to the licensed activity and his failure to cooperate with the committee Alderman Vander wheelie Thank you, mr.

Mayor I Don't see any reason to circumvent the current process for this The funds for this capital project as is normal is Recommended out of the capital improvements commission. There's a meeting July 8th Which is you know three and a half months earlier than it normally is just to be able to take up this item So I don't see a reason to move this out of committee and bring it to the committee of the whole When we're going to be meeting as a capital improvements committee in about two weeks So I'm going to vote no on this I think you know to circumvent the process doesn't make any sense to me when we have a meeting coming up in a couple weeks Thank You Alderman Hammond Alderman Carlson Thank You mayor. I guess my question is why Since we do have this meeting planned. Why are we trying to pull it out to be put on Wednesday Wednesday's agenda? Thank you for that question Alderman Boren, would you care to answer that? Thank You mayor There was no indication of a capital improvements meeting until this was put on the agenda and the reason the reason Why I wanted to bring this forward is to finally have an up-and-down vote on it We've been getting the Alderman Lewandowski and I have been getting the big stall on this since January and It hasn't been easy for quite a few people to get in out of city hall And I'd like to finally get an up-and-down vote on this So if there is a vote to go ahead with the project that we get it done before winter But I find it really Ironic that all of a sudden the capital improvements meeting is scheduled just when this appears to on the agenda To remove it from that committee. Thank you Alderman Hammond Thank You mr. Mayor. I find it a little bit offensive that Mr. Boren would indicate that we're playing games with with this we have a process of sending things through to capital improvements to Vote and you know, I apologize to him if he didn't think it went fast enough so that he and alderman Lewandowski had The lift in place, but I have not gotten an email or a phone call from one person indicating that this has been an inconvenience Not having the lift and the back and that the ramp in the front was an issue So we've moved the committee meeting up three months Typically this meeting is held in October as part of our budgeting process We're moving into July. We've got citizen members on this committee that we have to coordinate with So again, if you want to think it was a stall tactic be my guest But again, I think we're trying to get this done as soon as possible But yet again make it part of the process of the overall capital improvements Thank you any other discussion would the clerk please call the roll for Excuse me for eyes nine nose and one abstention Motion fails Next we'll move on to other matters city attorney And 10.1 is an arrow by the city clerk submitting various license applications for the period ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 That'll be referred to law and licensing 10.2 is an arrow by the city clerk submitting communication from Kevin Hartle Requesting a waiver to the sex offender residency restrictions in order to live the 1419 foresight It'll be referred to the public protection and safety committee 10.3 is a resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a contract between the city and short Elliott Hendrickson ink in the amount of $14,470 for the design of the Pennsylvania Avenue siphon modifications that will be referred to public works Thank You mr.
