Henning Did you mean to skip the one before that on the Purdue pharma? We can do that we can do them in whatever order you want, but Okay, I was following the agenda one's not oh, I didn't see it it looks to me It's not in the same order It's not it is you just missed it That's right. We'll just do that one. Well, we'll do the care We'll do the Henning one and then when then we'll go to the oh, yeah, I see what you mean. Sorry about that. Yep so this is a Taxicab driver's license application Carrie Henning this matter is on for a hearing on denial Of a new license Mr. Henning is not here. We're not surprised by that because he did fail to respond to our letter Asking him to respond prior to the hearing So we will do the hearing and then we'll go from there And lieutenant Stelter will be at the other Mike and we'll just answer a couple of questions that I have so lieutenant Stelter You're familiar with the taxicab driver's license application of Carrie M. Henning. Is that correct? and You are aware of His record of violations that is related to the license activity as well. Is that correct? Yes, and included in that record would be some traffic violations, which would include a 2015 operating well intoxicated from the village of Sheboygan Falls Which he did reveal on his application a 2016 failure to main control a vehicle from the Sheboygan Municipal Court that he failed to reveal and a 2017 speeding 89 in a 65 from circuit court that he failed to reveal is that correct? Correct. He also did Reveal that he had felony drug charges, but didn't Give the details on those and what that is is a 2017 felony conviction for manufacture or delivery of heroin as a party to the crime. Is that correct? Correct and Specifically while it's it's fairly clear what the traffic violations are related to the license activity What is it about? delivery of Drug charges that makes it relevant to a taxicab driver license With my experience as a law enforcement officer in the community specifically as a street crimes officer and supervising the street crimes unit later and then eventually supervising our Sheboygan County drug unit We've had numerous investigations into people that have been taxicab drivers that were suspected of delivering drugs That obviously be the biggest concern with the license going to him Okay, those are all the questions that I would have So are any other Questions Our recommendation would be to deny the license that I make a motion to deny the license Any discussion All in favor say aye aye all opposed nay Chair votes aye motion carried All right now. We'll back up Chuck. Sorry about that a resolution authorizing the city attorney's office to take all Appropriate action on behalf of the city of Sheboygan related to Purdue pharma LPS bankruptcy Thomas yes, thank you. I'm happy to go into as much detail on this one or as little detail as you would like in short in 2019 Purdue pharma declared bankruptcy Purdue pharma is the manufacturer of oxycontin and their bankruptcy was based In part because of the opioid litigation going on nationally There've been a lot of claimants in this bankruptcy. There are 7600 municipalities that have filed a claim against Purdue pharma and about 470,000 individuals who filed claims against Purdue pharma So this is this is a very big bankruptcy which reflects the broad nature of the opioid opioid crisis The city of Sheboygan did file a claim file a claim for about 8.4 million dollars, which is a lot that's Part of that is costs actually incurred by the city to this point part of that is prospective costs estimated to Capture what the city would have to spend to abate the opioid crisis between 2020 and 2040 There's no expectation that we'll ever see 8.4 million dollars That's very typical in bankruptcy where you get hopefully pennies on the dollar for your claim But because this is such a large bankruptcy There really is no opportunity to negotiate deadlines and to move those deadlines. It would be Really unworkable if each of the 470,000 individual claimants could extend a deadline because it didn't work for them So because of that there There are a number of deadlines and expected deadlines coming up And the thought to make it workable is to delegate and authorize the city attorney's office to make the necessary decisions So there's a bankruptcy plan which Purdue pharma has has proposed that plan would The headline on that plan is that it makes ten billion dollars available to help deal with the opioid crisis Ten billion dollars sounds like a lot. There's some asterisks on that plan. It's ten billion dollars over ten years About four billion dollars of that Is actually in the form of reduced cost pharmaceuticals And a billion dollars of that is from Projected revenues of a new entity that would would exist when Purdue pharma ceases to exist. So there's there's some some asterisks there The nature of the plan has been evolving it evolved is as recently as Monday I mean we expect continued evolution of that plan Right now if the plan is approved as is the state of Wisconsin would receive about 70 million dollars Again, that's over ten years and that's presumably a split between cash and reduced price pharmaceuticals But it's the responsibility of the state and local government to negotiate that and that has to be negotiated on a very very tight time frame So given the number of moving pieces and the tight time frame We as the city attorney's office are concerned that it's unworkable To come to the council to come it to this committee when we have a final Final proposal and say would you approve this? So we're asking for Authorization to make all the necessary decisions to represent the city As we try to navigate this to a to a conclusion Okay, then I'm looking for a motion to Second Motion that second any discussion All in favor say aye. Aye opposed nay chair votes aye Thank you Resolution number sixteen dash twenty one twenty two Five seventeen twenty one submitting various license applications for the period ending December 31st Twenty twenty one in June 30th twenty twenty three All right, we've got a number of different recommendations which are going to split out the first one We're going to split out is we are recommending approving the beverage operators license application of Amanda Salazar We've separated it out so that she cannot vote on this one and just the three of you can vote on it.

We'll hold it here and then we'll come back at a future meeting sometimes It's also because we have to give notice okay in this case We haven't even decided for sure that we're going to non renew or deny the license, so okay We're doing some background check yet Any other questions All right looking for a motion Do we have a motion all right just we need to vote looking for a vote all in favor say aye Nays motion carried And then the final motion would be to grant all of the other applications on the arrow I make a motion to grant all the other applications on the arrow Second Any discussion all in favor say aye aye opposed nay motion carried Resolution number 17 dash 21 dash 22 5 17 21 submitting various license applications for the period ending June 30th 2022 All right, we've got four different Recommendations, but we don't necessarily have to split these out as long as you incorporate them all into The motion they're all they're all to grant, but there are just some Provisions in the granting so we're recommending granting the change of premise applications of the wharf contingent on The applicant obtaining the necessary street festival permit We're recommending granting the change of premises application of time and a half contingent upon the applicant obtaining any necessary Permit probably a street festival permit and making any needed changes to the description to be determined by staff upon Clarification by the applicant we're working with him on that To grant the class a liquor license renewal application of Meyer stores LP Contingent on amending the application to include description language that has now been approved by my office This is somewhat related to the one we've been holding for some time They're now fixing it as part of the sort of the renewal application, but there are a couple little things they have to complete But I expect that won't be a problem and then to grant all other applications on the arrow.
