 I'd like to call the 26th and last regular meeting of the 2019-2020 Common Council to order. Would the clerk please read the quote for the day. Thank you Mr. Mayor. The end is nothing but an opportunity for a new beginning. Thank you very much. The clerk called the roll. There are four present here and six attending remotely. Thank you very much. Please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge 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 we'll go on to the approval of the minutes from our April 8th meeting, Alderperson Wolff. Thank you Mayor. I make a motion to approve. Is there a second? Second. Thank you for that motion. Thank you for that motion and support. Is there any discussion on the minutes? Seeing none, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Opposed? Motion passes. Aye also. Item 4.1 is public forum, City Clerk. There is no one this evening. Thank you very much. Next we'll go on to Mayor's announcements. Right is the last meeting of our 2019-20 common council and I want to thank the council for making decisions to approve projects and programs that led to a very successful year. And I also want to commend our administrator, the department heads and staff that implemented these programs and projects. It was a great year for Sheboygan and it was good to see that the residents of Sheboygan have returned all the incumbent Alderpersons back to their positions for another term. I thank the challengers for their interest in participating on the City Council. But all of this progress is being overshadowed by the current pandemic. When the infection curve is finally flattened and decreased, there will be a lot more work to do to help our city recover. The city has received an additional $569,000 allocation from the community development block grant funding from the federal government. Right we will ask the council to approve a job retention program using $400,000 of those funds to make grants of 3,000 to 15,000 to small businesses that were not able to qualify or receive any other funding from the CARES Act. If approved, the application will be available on the city website and the program hopes to award grants in early May. This funding is anticipated to assist at least 28 businesses. I would also like to thank Governor Evers and Administration for the efforts to protect the health and well-being of all Wisconsin residents. With a special thanks for the state and the Sheboygan County Public Health Department for their help to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak at Sunny Ridge Nursing Home. At Sunny Ridge, all of the patients that tested positive have now recovered and been moved out of isolation. There are three Sunny Ridge employees that tested positive that continue to be isolated. Sheboygan dentists have received personal protection equipment from the supply at the Sheboygan County Emergency Management and this will allow them to resume dental surgeries. We will work with the governor to implement the new Badger Bounceback Program with guidelines and criteria to bring businesses back online. This plan calls for sufficient testing capabilities, PPEs, supplies, ventilators to deal with the coronavirus if there is a second wave of reinfection. These resources should make residents confident that the plan is prudent and that they can return to work or be a shopper in our community. The Sheboygan County Public Health Department has designated a new COVID-19 dashboard that is updated daily on their website and today that dashboard shows that tests administered, there were 44 positive tests or 93% of the 670 tests done were negative. There are also currently 12 active cases of the 44 total cases that turned out positive which is 68% or 30 that have recovered. There have been two deaths and the dashboard also breaks down the ages of the positive cases and shows a graph of the cases that are recorded over time. With the extension of the Safer at Home Order by Governor Evers allowing golf courses to resume, the Sheboygan Park Department will open the disc golf course at Valrath Park this Friday. This along with the JC disc golf course that is currently open will allow for more social distancing with the two courses open in Sheboygan. In closing I'd like to wish everyone a happy Earth Day and I also would invite you to see the city sustainability report for 2019 on the city website. Just search for sustainability report and you can see the activities that we've done in that area. Thank you. Next we'll go on to Consent Agenda, Alderperson Wolfe. Thank you, Mayor.

I'd like to again make a motion to adopt and then another motion to amend. Second. Okay, we have a motion to adopt on the floor. Please proceed with your amendment. Thank you, Mayor. For 2.5, further resolving that the deadline for payment of the proposed assessments for parking assessment District 5 before interest occurs in June 1st, 2020. That amendment is before us for discussion. Seeing no discussion, will the clerk please call the roll? Ten ayes. Motion passes. Amendment passes. Now we'll be voting on the motion as amended. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? Alderperson Bourne. This is Bourne. I lost the mayor's voice. Can you vote on the amendment? I mean, the motion is amended on 2.5. Aye. Ten ayes. Motion passes. I think we have to go back and vote on the amendment to item 2.3 and 2.4. No, 2.6 through 2.14. So on 2.3, we need to vote on the motion as amended. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, please vote on that motion as amended. Bourne, aye. Ten ayes. And then we also need to go back and do the same thing on item 2.4. Vote on the motion as amended. Please call the roll. Thank you. All in favor, aye. Motion passes. We can go back to the consent agenda. Is there any other discussion on items on the consent agenda? Seeing no discussion, would the clerk call the roll for the remaining items? It's items 2.6 or 2.14. All in favor. Motion passes. Then we'll go on to reports of officers that includes items 3.1 through 3.4 and those items all be referred to standing committees of the new council. There are reports of committees, item, let's see, under resolutions. Item 4.1 is resolution number 206 of 1920 by all the persons down to human borne authorizing submitting substantial amendment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD Community Development Black Grant program for the 2019-2020 program year. Alderperson Wolfe. Thank you, Mayor. I make a motion to suspend the rules. Is there any objection to suspension? Second. Under this, please proceed. Thank you, Mayor. I make a motion to adopt the resolution. Second. Warren. Okay, that resolution is before us. And to get a little explanation on this, I'd like to ask our Planning and Development Director, Chad Pellecek, to give us some background. Thank you, Mayor. So this document that's before you today references a grant allocation of $539,956 at the city is receiving as part of the CARES Act in an allocation of a program called the Community Development Black Grant CV COVID funds. The city has talked to a number of small businesses as we know there's a number of small businesses out there that are in need of assistance, especially the ones of five or fewer employees. So this next document after you allocate these funds in this amendment will be to talk about that program. The other piece of this is to allocate roughly $40,000 towards public service entities. So those are primarily nonprofits. I will say that HUD has a very specific definition as to where those funds can be used in a lot of the public service funds that have been, the activities that HUD has identified do not pertain to Sheboygan. So we've been working with the nonprofit agencies that provide some of those services that meet their definition to see if they've incurred any expenses outside of their normal expenses as it relates to COVID-19. So if that should be an opportunity, we would have at least $40,000 for those entities. If that did not come to fruition, we would come back to you and see if we can reprogram that into the Micro Enterprise Loan Fund, otherwise the document would come before you before additional funds were allocated to nonprofit agencies. The third item of this amendment is to dedicate approximately $80,000 of administration staff in primarily administering the Micro Loan Enterprise Program and reviewing applications and making awards to that funding mechanism and then doing the paperwork associated with this additional funding. So that makes up the amount. This is a substantial amendment to our 2019-2020 program year because it's the one that we have currently under contract with HUD. And the other item of this is that typically our citizen participation plan requires us to do a 30-day public hearing notice. We can request a waiver to HUD to only do a five-day public hearing notice so that would authorize staff to send a letter off to HUD requesting that waiver to the five-day. Thank you very much for that explanation. All the person down here, did you have another question? I was just following your instructions on how to unmute my microphone, but I think I can just do it on my own. So as we always say, never mind. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any other discussion? Okay, then we have a motion on the floor. Would the clerk please call the roll? Aye. More in? Ten ayes. Motion passes. Item 4.2 is resolution number 207 of 1920 by all the persons, Donahue and Warren, authorizing the expenditure of up to $400,000 of CDBG-CV funds via the Small Business Emergency Assistance Fund. All the person, Wolfe? Thank you, Mayor, I make a motion to suspend the rules. Is there any objection to suspension? Second. Warren? Seeing none, please proceed. Thank you, Mayor, I make a motion to adopt the resolution. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. Thank you, Warren. Item 4.2 is on the floor. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? Ten ayes. Motion passes. Next, we'll go on to reports of committees. Item 5.1 is our seat number 331 of 1920 by the Public Works Committee, to whom was referred resolution number 200 of 1920 by all the persons, Wolfe and Sorensen, authorizing the appropriate city officials to execute a memorandum of agreement between the Wisconsin State Historical Preservation Officer and the city of Sheboygan regarding the demolition of the Sheboygan Municipal Auditorium and Armory located at 516, Rotendrive, and recommends adopting the resolution. All the person, Wolfe? Thank you, Mayor, I make a motion to receive the RC and adopt the resolution. Thank you for that motion and support. That item is under discussion. All the person, Wolfe? I have a question, Mayor. Go ahead, all the person, Warren. Thank you, Mayor. In reading that document, is there any time frame on when we will be able to decide what has to be saved and then carry on with the demolition? Turn it over to Chad Pellecek to answer that question. Chad? The timeline that's, so we've had, since the Public Works Committee has discussed this, we've had some further dialogue internally, particularly with the city's purchasing agent, Bernie Romer. The idea is once this document is fully executed, we would bring a professional into the building to see if the removal of the items that they would like to see removed can even be done. And then we would work with Travis Gross of the Historical Society to get those items removed. It would probably be a separate contract independent of the demolition contractor. So the timeline on that is as soon as possible and Bernie then will work with the demolition contractor for mobilizing for some demolition to occur probably this summer, provided that we can get the items removed in a timely fashion and that doesn't cost us too much money to do that. So I know at the committee level, there was some discussion about what is too much and those types of things, so we're hoping to have more information, but we feel we at least need to get this contract with the Wisconsin Historical Society executed to give us some direction. Holder, President Wolff. Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to point out and thank everybody that's worked on this. I know this has been a long path. We've tried to take some different turns on preserving this property and this piece of history for Sheboygan, but I think ultimately at the end, I think this is gonna be a great opportunity for us to preserve it. And working with the Wisconsin State Historical Preservation and Travis and his team, I think this is gonna be a great collaboration that's gonna have a good outcome in the end. So thank you. Thank you for those comments. Alderperson Sorensen. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Chad, I have a follow-up question to Alderperson Boren's question just in regards of timeline. Just with the national pandemic going on, has the demolition area been impacted at all or contractor is still able to accomplish that? Or if there's like a timeline pushed back because of other projects getting shuffled around or I just didn't know how this, the pandemic would influence a timeline at all. I don't think the pandemic has had any reflection of it. The contractor was willing to hold his price from a bid last year. So the idea is to execute that agreement and get going as soon as possible. Okay. And then just another follow-up question in terms of development of the property once that is done. What is there gonna be general, what's that process gonna look like? How we reach out to developers and get. That process is probably gonna be up to you. We've decided internally, we'd like to get the building demolished and get that all cleaned up first and then decide if we're going back out in RFP and what the request for proposals might look like for the type of development we'd like to see there. But I think at this stage, it's nothing has been confirmed as to what the future of it would be. And I think that'll be a further discussion with the new Common Council. Thank you. Thank you for those comments. Seeing no other discussion, will the clerk please call the roll? Aye. Warren. Ten ayes. Motion passes. Next item is 5.2, which is an RC number 332 of 1920 by the Public Works Committee to whom was referred direct referral resolution number 201 of 1920 by Alderperson's Wolfe and Sorenson, authorizing the F3 marina to renovate the Harbor Center Marina second floor and authorized the appropriate city officials to execute the First Amendment to the Harbor Center Marina Agreement with F3 and recommends adopting the resolution. Alderperson Wolfe. Thank you, Mayor. I make a motion to receive the RC and adopt the resolution. Second. Thank you for that motion in support. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? Aye. Warren. Ten ayes. Motion passes. Item 5.3 is RC number 321 of 1920 by the Licensing, Hearings and Public Safety Committee to whom is referred, our own number 147 of 1920 by the city clerk submitting various license application recommends to refer change of premise application number 2273 to the Licensing, Hearings and Public Safety Committee of the 2020-2021 Council. Alderperson Sorenson. Yeah, it's being referred. It's just being referred. That's just a referral. I'm sorry. Moving on, that will be referred to the Licensing, Hearings and Public Safety Committee of the new council. Under matters laid over, item 6.1 is our own number 152 of 1920 by the city planning commission to whom was referred, general ordinance number 43 of 1920 by all the persons born and wolf and our own number 146 of 1920 by the city clerk requesting an ordinance amendment to the city of Sheboygan's official zoning map of the Sheboygan zoning ordinance to change the use district classification of property located off of South Business Drive parcel number 59281471031 from class suburban residential to class neighborhood commercial classification recommends receiving and filing the arrow and adopting the ordinance. Alderperson Sorenson. Thank you, Mayor. Motion to receive the arrow and adopt the ordinance. Second. We have a motion and support on that one. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? I'm sorry, Chad, did you want to add something on that? Yeah, so the next couple of documents are related to the Warner subdivision. You'll recall that back in March, I think it was March 2nd, we held a public hearing for these documents and then the documents were held because of a relay out of the roads based on the discussion on the park lands. So the developer will be coming back to the planning commission with updated plans for the preliminary plat that realign the roadways kind of around this park lands. So the plan is to leave that 3.7 acre parcel as park. And then the new kind of layout is such. So this is to kind of pick up that process. The zoning documents were still reflected of their new layout that's coming forward. So the idea was to get these approved and then we'll be working through the planning commission on the preliminary plat approval for the new layout. Thank you for that information. Is there any other discussion? Seeing none, will the clerk please call the roll? Aye. Warren. 10 ayes. Motion passes. Item 6.2 is RO number 153 of 1920 by the city planning commission. Tumas refer general ordinance number 44 of 1920 by all the persons born in Wolf and RO number 146 of 1920 by the city clerk requesting an ordinance amendment to the city of Sheboygan's official zoning map of the Sheboygan zoning ordinance to change the use district classification of property located off of many road parcel 59281471051 in parcel number 59281471040 in parcel number 59281471035 from class mixed residential to class suburban residential classification and recommends receiving and filing the copy of the RO and adopting the ordinance.

After closed session, we'll reconvene and come into open session to make a decision on this item. We'll take a brief recess to set everything up.
