It looks like it's been bent a few times with Mike Your home address please home address is 915 North Avenue City of Sheboye North what North Avenue will have five minutes sir. Thank you. Mr. Mayor and members of the Sheboye Common Council Tonight, I'm addressing the many misconceptions Deceptions delusions and totally inappropriate misgivings alluded to by certain members of this council The mayor and the mayor's attorney First of all the cost to the taxpayer regarding the process of removal the mayor There's no cost for a special prosecutor The cost for the procedural attorney to represent the city is the same as when he represents the law and licensing committee And those hearings that he represents are for sex offenders and tavern licenses that cost is higher than the cost regarding this matter Secondly regarding the mayor's rights What about the victims rights? All you discuss is drunken is the mayor's drunkenness What about the mayor's sister-in-law? What about Angela Payne? What about the girl allegedly sexually assaulted in Elkhart Lake and who knows how many others what about the victims rights? Third I want to talk about procedure Those are you who are opposed to going forward with the complaint process or either ignorant of the municipal code and state statutes Or wrongly believe that you're immune from charges for malfeasance Misfeasance or misconduct in public office The city adopted state statute 1959 code of ethics as amended for local governments that government Decisions and policies be made in the proper channels of the government structure That the public has confidence in the integrity of its government to establish guidelines for ethical standards of conduct setting forth those acts or Actions that are incompatible with the best interests of the city The provisions and purpose of this article and such rules and regulations as may be established are Declared to be in the best public interest to discharge faithfully the duties of their office regardless of personal considerations Public officials should not exceed your authority or breach the law No city official shall grant any special consideration treatment or advantage to any citizen beyond that which is available to every other citizen This code requires that public officials be independent impartial and responsible Your opinion the mayor's actions are not in the public's best interest The law and procedure established by this city and state government are Once a complaint is filed and accepted law and procedure rule not emotions or opinions Fourth in my opinion members of this council as well as the mayor and his attorney have caused delays in this process The mayor and his attorney clamor for due process yet they themselves as you serve the process The mayor's attorney letter to the council. It's a mute issue another example of threats to the council. First of all This is a quasi judicial hearing Vordare is a mute issue the juries pre-selected Secondly the issue of the legal standard by which the mayor would be removed is clearly spelled out in municipal ordinances and state statutes Certain members of this council and the mayor's attorney should read them Third the issue of the ADA complaint This is just another attempt by the mayor's attorney to muffle the already confused minds of certain council members The issues of fact are the mayor is not being investigated for his alcoholism But for actions he took while using his alcoholism as an excuse The mayor has lied to this council several times The mayor's public display during the council meetings on August 15th, 2011 Was the basis for the complaint before the council tonight? All these conditions are prima facie The facts speak for themselves require no witness Second of all, it would be ipso facto in other words definite grounds and the code says so ipso facto dismissal For violation of these grounds Without a doubt the only protection the mayor has the fire Department has the police department has is either are protected by state statute or ever contract to specify a procedure The only thing this council has to do is worry about the procedure The mayor and his attorney have had ample time to establish a proper basis for a claim under ADA but refused to do so The ADA rules do allow for disciplinary action and termination for alcoholics All public officials and officers of the court are accountable for their actions These threats and misinformation have got to stop the procedure and subsequent investigation Me Pat, would you like your extra minute? I got 10 seconds It's really additional minute Sorry the procedure and subsequent investigations will reveal the truth. Thank you Thank you next Henry Camotillo Henry, can I have your home address, please? Yes 1619 North 38th Street, and that's in the town of Sheboygan North what North 38th Street, okay, and you will have five minutes, sir. Okay. I'm here not to kick up any dust so After hearing the former alderman patchellette Sighting all the reasons why you should get rid of the mayor I'm basically here to tell you that or to ask you that to put this all to rest tonight You know if you look at this just look at the cameras that we have here Headlines for how many months about this issue And you're saying what what did he do? What illegal activity did he do if you recall? We had a state attorney general Peggy Langen slaughter got cited for DUI An offense we had our former sheriff Sheriff Coney DUI Also, we had I think a state senator this last year DUI spent time in jail None of these people were were terminated from their employment none of these people their boards ended up getting rid of them But because the mayor went out and got drunk passed out at some bar You want to get rid of them if you're looking at for a fight? I think you're gonna get one I mean, I'm pretty sure everybody read the the newspaper with the lawyers Comments on there, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the mayor is not just gonna crawl in some hole if you get rid of him He is definitely going to be filing some kind of lawsuit for wrongful termination I mean his attorney will fight he gets one-third of whatever the mayor gets You've already lost one lawsuit. You may say no, we didn't we just settled the newspaper said anywhere from $700,000 to $350,000. I Mean I'm thinking of a quote that I heard from senator the minority Senate leader Mitch McConnell that basically said you don't gain Any education from the second kick of the mule? Meaning you've already lost one and now you're asking for another situation where you could potentially lose more Maybe even millions I Think the mayor is a fighter. He's not just gonna give up and die. He's gonna keep fighting this issue until he Sees his satisfaction You're talking about the cost the cost mr. Gillette said there's no cost to the city. I think that's baloney This attorney is gonna charge you on a per-hour basis whether he's he's he's doing it for some hearing that he attends or He's gonna be keeping an eye on the lawyer that's not charging you anything, but he's gonna be getting paid You've already approved $50,000 for Spending of that money if you would have taken that money You could have paid for the quarry to keep open to fund the lifeguards But you didn't and you've already approved that that expenditure expenditure up to $50,000 You say well, you know what he's embarrassed the city How many other issues can you think of other other people that have embarrassed the city or potentially have? Embarrassed the city if you look at I've talked to city employees They think he's done a good job. I think he's done a good job And you know what I didn't even support the mayor when he was running for election for mayor I supported his candidate Terry van Akron, but I'm the first one to tell you I think you're doing the wrong thing by getting rid of them or trying to get rid of them If you think it's embarrassing now wait until this all goes into the media You're not only going to see the state media here. You're going to see CNN Fox MSNBC How many nights did we hear about the recall elections in Madison and everything in the state that we had? $30 million over $30 million spent for what nothing nothing happened. You could have taken that $30 million and probably spent it on Rehabbing some schools or funding some teachers instead of doing that So I would ask you you know what look at the look at the long picture Look at what's going to happen if this goes on are we going to continue this and you may say well We we're willing to take the chance You know what I've already heard things out in the community of things that are going to come out of you Other council members embarrassing things that are going to come out if he ends up having to go through court And he's going to end up subpoenaing people. You know what I? Wouldn't want that on the front page of the paper But you think that this isn't going to happen. You better believe it. It is It's it's a circus media now and look at what's going on ever since this started Instead of why do you think that people get so frustrated with their elected officials the Congress approval rating is at 12% I would imagine that it's similar to local Officials and state officials excuse me Henry. Would you like any extra time? Yes? If you if you look at what the issues are even in Sheboygan County or city Sheboygan here unemployment rate is 10.3% if you were taking your time and initiatives I'm looking at those types of issues. We might have more people employed in this city Instead of spending your time on this issue So what I'm saying is Look at that we look at this realistically and look at what potentially could happen And if you think that we we've had headlines you haven't seen nothing yet So I would ask you to put this to rest end it tonight Move on censure the mayor Sure, you may not agree with what he's done But censure him and move on and get get on with important issues within the city Thank you Next next on the list would be Delcey Johnson Delcey, can I have your home address, please? 1306 North 3rd Street Sheboygan You will have five minutes may Orion City Clerk Richards City Attorney McLean Alderman and citizens The Finance Committee reviewed the 2010 audit of the city finances including the Ambulance Fund at their meeting on July 25th The audit shows expenditures in excess of revenues for the Ambulance Fund in the amount of $8,000 or in common bookkeeping a loss of $8,000 the marginal profit which is shown as an expenditure is $289,000 but the Ambulance Fund balance was $8,000 less at the end of 2010 than at the beginning of 2010 The $289,000 contribution to the general fund is a considerable difference from the $376,000 that was touted by Finance Director Amodio as the contribution to the general fund during the ambulance referendum public forums When the labor and benefit expenses of all the personnel needed to operate the three ambulances is calculated The marginal profit becomes a loss of over one and a half million dollars And that doesn't include any cost for Deputy Chief Butler who told me that he estimated He spent 90% of his time on ambulance related work It should also be noted that the fire department answered only 99 structure fire calls in 2010 That's fewer than two calls per station per month They answered 2828 rescue calls and I think personal Expenditures for the ambulance service should reflect this The referendum last November favored the fire department by 500 votes out of 16,000 But for many citizens the issue has not gone away The fire union slogan during the ambulance referendum vote no keep taxes low Didn't exactly work out as they pledged because during last year's budget While all other major department budgets were being cut the fire department received an additional $280,000 with the result of the referendum had been different if citizens had been given different information The city contracted with a new billing service late last year which was expected to greatly increase collections But the new billing service wrote off over $400,000 in the first six months of 2011 while collecting only 374 thousand dollars or less than half of the amounts bill In an effort to bolster revenues Mayor Ryan and Chief Herman have visited all the nursing homes in the city Soliciting transfer business to low local hospitals using fire department ambulances which has been predominantly handled by Orange Cross Per chief Herman transfers from nursing homes using fire department ambulances doubled in the first six months of 2011 and While this may put chief Herman closer to his goal of putting Orange Cross out of business I asked all of you to his who support its efforts to consider the consequences on July 4th all of the fire department ambulances were busy and Orange Cross was called as a backup for an accident in the city Fortunately for those in need of help Orange Cross was still in business But how would that emergency have been handled if the fire department succeeds in putting Orange Cross out of business With those in need of help have to wait for emergency personnel from Usberg or Plymouth or Sheboygan Falls And what would be the impact on those needing help? If Orange Cross goes out of business the only other option to relying on ambulances from other communities Would be to lease additional ambulances and hire more Firefighters which would be a substantial additional cost of the taxpayers and I question whether the taxpayers would support this When the fire department took over the ambulance service chief Herman wrote an article in the Wisconsin professional Firefighters magazine in which he said maybe Orange Cross will still fold and then we'll take over the entire Sheboygan area and hire 12 more firefighters Whenever I have approached chief Herman about this he has responded that he doesn't want to put Orange Cross out of business because he needs them for a backup But his actions speak louder than his words as he continues to try to take more business away from Orange Cross It is one thing to try to run the city as a business But it is totally unethical for a city to try to put a private business out of business At a time when we should be downsizing the fire department chief Herman's long-range plan options include adding long-distance transports Which would take firefighters out of the area for several hours and undoubtedly result in calling in overtime There is no reason for the taxpayers to pay firefighters to do transports because Orange Cross is very capable of doing it and government should not do what the private sector can do To those of you who support Orange Cross and they need ambulance services Orange Cross's number is easy to remember four five one nine one one one and if you have family in nursing homes Tell the nursing staff to call Orange Cross if your family member needs to be transferred to a hospital Thank you Thank You, Delcy Next on the list would be Joanne Scribner. Is she here? I don't see her here. All right, and the last person on the list would be Milt Storm Milt, can I have your home address, please? Yes, 1736 Marvin court And you will have five minutes Thank you. I want to thank the mayor and the council members that I may address you on my version of facts and ideas. I Certainly want to thank Sue Richards department of how graciously they assist me in council proceedings The issue that I would like to address is the recall of duly elected elected government officials Time permitting. I would like to address why we need to Why the need for a city administrator to replace a competent mayor in section 12 of the Wisconsin statutes I found that the recall of elected officials was created in November of 1926 and amended in 1989 by some stroke of genius Last week I came across an article in my national review magazine in regard to the recalls really Recently in Madison and I quote Some 85 years ago an amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution Authorizing the recall procedure was passed Some foresaw the event as this in October 1926 Manitowoc Attorney I. J. Nash wrote an op-ed predicting that such a provision would make Wisconsin the laughing stock of the country Nash added that a recall Proceeding is slow Conducted with passion very expensive sets neighbor against neighbor and is unaccompanied by sworn or competent evidence It convinces very few that justice has been served and how true that is At first the recall provision was passed with only judges in mind and later It was amended to include the state legislature and the governor back then it made no sense to recall a politician who faced an election in a year or so It took 70 years for the first state elected official to be recalled in 1996 That happened to be a good Republican Senator George P tag of the 22nd Senate district, I believe It is now being served by a W. O. Senator Robert Wurch a Democrat It was senator p-tax deciding both to use taxpayers fund to assist the Milwaukee Brewers in building new park with a retractable roof That got him in trouble for that reason the labor unions and unionized Democrats railroaded him out of office This allowed Madison Senate Senate Democrat Chuck Koala become the Senate leader His term did not last long when he was confined to a nine-month prison term So I'm gonna recommended that this council remove the medias charade and the red herring recall From our midst and proceed with the important people's business of this city and allow the good mayor to finish the good Accomplishments he has started so far. It's time for some of you council members to work in good faith with each other My public scrutiny on a city administrator will be at the next council meeting or the committee of the whole. Thank you Thank you, Mel. Thank you, Mel. Is that all that would be it Okay Everybody for speaking at public forum this evening Onto my favorite part of the evening the mayor's announcements One thing I would like to announce on October 20th 2011 from 5 30 to 9 30 p.m. At King Park there will be a Landlords training program This is something that has been done in Milwaukee in Green Bay This is for people that own properties that have tenants It's only a $10 fee and out of that it will be a four-hour four-hour class They will also receive a hundred plus page manual on the rules of being a landlord the the laws of dealing with tenants and some good advice on how to be a proper landlord and how to How to recruit proper tenants into your properties background checks, etc This is something that our planning department and our police department have been working on for some time This is also something that when we look at issues In municipal court regarding landlord tenant, etc It would be in all the landlords best interest to take this program That they know that the courts know that they are doing everything in their power To do the proper thing and to be well-trained so again, that's October 20th from 5 30 to 9 30 at the King Park shelter on the south side of town Any questions people can call the planning department In the city of Sheboygan or email, so that's coming up. It's good. It's a great program something that they've been working on for a while We'll do nothing but benefit our city.

I'd also I'd like to thank Festival Foods who put on one heck of a fireworks display on Saturday night if anybody missed that It was the most unique fireworks display I think I ever saw and I was watching it with the Locksley band who's some guys originally from Madison but out of New York They've been living in New York for eight years and they said how the heck are we gonna follow that up after the fireworks because they had to play So I'd like to thank everybody that participated especially the ISAF Who put their faith in Sheboygan to host this event an international sailing event? I spoke to the chairman of the ISAF or president of the ISAF a Gentleman from Sweden and he said that this event that was put on in Sheboygan was as good as any He's ever been to in the world. It's the smallest city. It's ever been in and he said that they will be back So that's huge. So I'd like to thank everybody that that participated and It was a great event it showed what Sheboygan is all about and I'd just like to say thank you to everybody We have some pertinent business to take care of this evening. It's all been discussed time and time again Of course, you all know my feelings I've apologized for my actions in the past. I've been sober for 57 days and will be Every day in the future. I'm working on it every day. I Think it's time that we put this behind us and get on with the business at hand, which is the business of the city everybody knows where I stand on the issue Everybody knows where my legal team stands on the issue. I don't see any winners in this I Will say no more. I'm not going to participate in this conversation. I will ask that alderman Hold your discussion because we have discussed this time and time again to Two times standing up twice So we're not rehashing the same thing over and over again But he knows that up front. So please choose your words carefully So we're not here until midnight So with that I asked that you vote your consciences Vote your cautions. That's all I ask Thank you Vice president Decker.

I make a motion to accept and adopt the report of committee and pass the resolution second Motion in a second to accept and adopt and pass the resolution under discussion Under discussion alderman Hammond Thank You. I just think We want to look At this very closely as we go forward. I know many people have made many many comments. We've baited this to death My concern is not for the mayor's reputation My concern is for the reputation of the city going forward Being privileged is some of the things I know about economic development companies that are looking to move here I would feel absolutely awful if one company decided not to move here and give this city the much needed jobs Because of the antics of the mayor on a weekend in July Again, I would ask Those on the council to think about the long-term future of the city Not what could happen over the course of the next 14 months or if the recall goes through even sooner I'm not happy with what the mayor did. I think I voiced that adequately over the past couple months But I do think we need to look at what the long-term future is What the long-term vision is and not get short-sighted on this So again, I would ask you to reconsider if you're if you voted for this in the past And look at what's maybe best for the city not what's best for the situation. Thank you Thank You alderman Hammond any further discussion Alderman Racelor, thank you, mr. Mayor. I guess I'd like to comment as well Again, I don't condone the mayor's activities, but I want to make sure that we're clear with the fact that this is Has no money attached to it I have talked with the attorney or we discussed it last week at the committee the whole regarding the investigation and If there is any payment to be paid for an investigation by an outside Investigator, I guess I want to make sure that that we know that this does not include this portion of it I've seen what happened in Manitowoc when they investigated the police chief and the attorneys Investigators came in and investigated it was thousands and thousands of dollars I guess that's for my concern is that I want to make sure that we Understand that if this does pass tonight that there was no cost associated with whatsoever Thank You alderman racelor any further discussion There's no further discussion roll call, please Orin I Carlson, no Decker Hammond no Hammond.

So do I have to make a motion to that effect or it's Automatically going to go to salary and grievances. It already is in the salary and grievances But this would then lie over if that's your wish, right? And as long as I'm standing here Alderman Decker, were you going to bring forward 1241 also?

So it's go to the next Salary and grievance meeting So we have a motion and a second to hold because these will be discussed at the next salary and grievances meeting Under discussion on holding these documents, they will be referred to salary and grievances There is no discussion all in favor say aye aye opposed They are being held Okay to the front of the list Vice-president Decker Consent agenda 12 1 through 12 20 Thank You mr.

Hi Decker. Hi common. Hi Hammond. Hi. Hi to men. Hi. Hi Kittleson. Hi Maddachuk. Hi Racelor. Hi Samson. Hi, Van Akron. Hi Percy. Hi belt. Hi and born. Hi 14 eyes motion carries 12 1 and 12 9 under discussion all the person cut like to comment on those I just have a few concerns annexing the dump of the town of Wilson dump to the city of Shaboy Okay, just an explanation on this Steve would you like to comment on this or shall I Based basically what we're at is we are going to annex the property into the city however the ownership of the property And the liability on the property is going to remain with the town I believe that's the proposal from the town And what I would suggest is if Council approves these documents that there be a more formal agreement draft it up That will cover liability issues and maintenance issues and so forth, but that's the town is In agreement that the property could be annexed to the city Doesn't mean the city will own it the town will still own that property City for jurisdictional purposes for law enforcement purposes, so we could enforce city ordinances for violations in the in the entire park right now One sliver of the park is in the city and the balance is in the town and it's become Somewhat of a jurisdictional issue over Cross-border situations where our police officers don't have authority to enforce Our ordinances in the town portion and vice-versa. Okay. Thank you Steve any further discussion About my mercy. Yes, ma'am. So just to clarify once this passes there will be more of in-depth formal Yes, I would see a formal agreement being drafted up. I submitted to both parties for final approval Thank you Alderman first the Alderman Hammond. I believe this is your district. Yes Thank you, mr. Mayor. I Would just like to I guess turn McLean maybe can fill me in on this, but I would like to make an amendment to this if you will that will approval pending a written agreement From the agreed upon by this council That way we can we know that we're going to see some sort of document coming through I don't know if that can be a friendly amendment or if we need to Because I too say there are some concerns about having You know next property town of Wilson former dump some of the issues that go along with it I just want to make sure all the eyes are dotted and tease across as I'm sure they will be Thank you Alderman Hammond. So we'd like to make an amendment on this basically a friendly amendment that states that We will move forward And get a more formal document to be approved by council Yeah, can we get a motion just to accept and file and accept and adopt on these two Okay, we have a motion in a second under further discussion Alderman Samson Thank you, mr. Mayor. Can I just what exactly is the benefit then for the city we annexed the property in The town remains or Retains ownership what exactly is the benefit from right now if there's jurisdictional issues If we annex it and they still own it Then does that mean our police department's going to then completely enforce everything? That's exactly why this issue came about to start with Part of the park is presently in the city of sheboygan part of it is in the town of wilson and there were some problems with Basically enforcement of the rules of the park where people would People would call the police department. They'd say it's in the town the town would say it's in the city Sheriff's department going back and forth with the police department The advantage to annexing any property within to the city limits Is that if you annex it into the city and it's part of the city When in future annexations, it's contiguous property So any time you can annex a piece of property you get that much farther out to get a contiguous annexation I believe at a hundred percent in annexation myself It's the only way the city can can grow beyond its present borders That the the drawback here is that this property Is a former dump, which is why we're going to Have the town keep ownership of it. So they have the ownership of the Liability But we will annex it into the city to enforce the The rules of the dog park if that makes sense And for the questions alderman board Thank you, mayor I'm on the parks board and also chairman of the public worst committee and I think An item that I brought up For discussion both at the parks board and at public works Is that seeing that the town of wilson citizens are are still going to benefit by this by being able to bring their dogs there And that our police department is going to have all law enforcement there I think it only fair that possibly you consider working on an agreement With the town attorney mclean that they pay something towards that police protection out there You know, maybe a couple hundred dollars a month Is I guess is a payment in lieu of taxes or something to that effect because their their citizens are benefiting from the dog park And I think we should consider Charging them something for the from for the police Protection out there. I understand from the officer that was at the parks board is that when the When the park first opened there were a number of issues out there With jurisdiction and and And now that we're going to be providing all the protection Perhaps they should be involved with defraying some of our costs on that. Thank you I would just say that the proposal the town put forward does not call for town making any financial contribution for law enforcement services so if If that's the wish of the council that you want some financial Compensation by the town I would include that in this in this proposal that you're acting on tonight because The expectation of the town is that they would not be making a financial contribution their contribution would be to provide The annexation of the property And and I don't want to overstate The law enforcement problems out there. My understanding is and I don't have a dog But my understanding is that this park has been wildly successful people really like it and I don't know if any survey has been done, but I would bet that A large percentage of the users are city residents as opposed to town residents, but Now this you want to give some direction as far as proposing cost sharing that's up to the council and you need a motion I'd like to hear it in You know a determination of the council as opposed to just one individual or A couple of individuals Alderman borne would you like to make a motion to that effect? I'll make a motion that attorney mclean work out a cost share agreement with the town of wilson for police protection for the dog run Also second We have a motion in a second Under discussion simply the motion the amendment to We've got a deal on cost sharing on that issue only alderman racer Thank you, mr. Mayor Just to let you know, we've just dealt with this issue again recently as in my other life as a Sheriff's farm employee There are many parcels in the city of shabuagan Correct me. There are many parcels that the city of shabuagan owns that are currently in the jurisdiction of the sheriff's department So this would just be a complete opposite of that The police department would have the jurisdiction for the quals to Maintain the whole park without just being able to enforce things in certain areas Just as the sheriff's department has a jurisdiction over the property that belongs to the city of shabuagan in numerous areas throughout the The immediate area of the city of shabuagan So we do this in a lot of different places where other jurisdictions cover And are not annexed in and again the reason we cannot annex in as the mayor stated We don't own anything up to these parcels So they stay without nothing contiguous to it and I don't believe there's been any major issues at this park I think it's just one guy not liking the way that the other guy's dog sniffed his dog or something like that I think the chief would be the one to answer, but I don't think we have a lot of calls for service there because then A lot Maybe you can answer because I know we don't we give them to you Chief any uh issues out there that are major issues or I don't think Okay. Thank you chief So we have a bill Okay public works director bill bitters going to give us some Enlightened insight on this issue fully understand the idea of if we're going to provide Services the property should pay something in lieu of taxes, etc But I want to go back a little bit to when we negotiate do with this at town of wilson This is a park that is owned provided fenced and maintained by the town of wilson The original agreement we spent some capital changing some fences and some signs They basically when we proposed this park Wanted us to provide dollars to improve the park To maintain the park We've simply indicated though. It's a town of wilson's park We will do some initial capital which was modest at best And there's a two-way street here to suggest if we're going to provide police protection. They should pay something for that Well, I think their position has been and they've Seated up to our position that this is also a park that they own they maintain And they provide a proportionate to the citizens of our community Citizens of their community and we pay almost nothing for that service So just the response to them would be logical to say you provide some maintenance of the park and you provide some Some ongoing service Thank you, bill alderman hamlin. Thank you, mr. Mayor and that was going to be my question Right now it was my understanding that town of wilson was maintaining that park for us if we in exit Um, a will we'd be now on the hook for maintaining said property and b could that serve as a great compromise With alderman borne's point, you know, they'll maintain it, you know, we've got the police protection over and of course um I also certainly agree with alderman reisler's point, you know, there are certain other areas that we pay Although we have property there.  So um, I would just throw that out attorney McLean I don't know if that was been part of the conversations yet with those guys, but um, I would certainly think that would be a great compromise Thank you. Thank you alderman hamlin from what I understand the town will continue to own the dog park So all other agreements will remain in place with the maintenance being primarily on the town, correct? That answers your question Okay, any further discussion, uh, I guess we are still talking about the amendment to ask the town to Kick in a payment in lieu of taxes to the city. We had a motion and a second on that um Just discussing on the amendment All in favor of that amendment say aye. Aye opposed. No Okay, let's do a roll call on the amendment and i vote will amend it that we are going to request that the town Also include a payment in lieu of taxes When we annex their property Decker no homin no Hammond no Heidemann. Hi Cot. Hi Kittleson. No Maddochak. All right Raceler abstain Samson. Hi Van Akron. No Versi. No Belt no Oren. Hi And Carlson. No Five eyes eight nose one abstention. Okay motion fails back to the original which is the original document along with the amendment of What was the amendment alderman hammond? Oh asking that we have a formal document that comes back to the council Corrected Yes under discussion on that Alderman samson Thank you. Yeah, mr. Mayor. Was there any discussion as far as the cost? if if we annexed this property Granted they own And they maintain it but is where they where are they going to get the money then to maintain the properties that coming from the city Where's it coming from now? They take care of it. It's coming from the town. Okay, so once we annex it They will still maintain funding for that so in the future. Is there any possible? They they will retain ownership of it. We are simply annexing it as far as being part of the city It will still be owned by the town so at this point the city would then not be liable for any potential cost if the town says And we we don't have the you know the money available to maintain it Since you have it annexed they come to us looking for any they would they would still retain ownership of it Okay, so the city doesn't have anything to do with funding anything like that. No, no, okay When they offer to let us own it. We'll say no Being a dump alderman Kittleson. Thanks mayor. I too I went to a meeting at the town of wilson when this was all in the beginning stages And I think it's just it's basically for law enforcement. They will maintain the park. They'll keep it but we're annexing it in so that Law enforcement can have control one area of law enforcement can have control over the park and and Am I correct in my? Assumption of that steve one area of law enforcement will be responsible for the dog park That's kind of what the discussions. I've had with the town attorney I think that's the that's the goal So if we have a dog feces violator at the police department knows about them when they go there for the return trip Thank you Thank you all to person kittleson alderman matta check Um, just had a simple question if we're annexing this and they retain retain ownership Do we get a property tax from them? Town of wilson is exempt from property taxes as a municipality And could they future sell the property to someone else even though it's a dump? I mean if they They perhaps theoretically could but As the mayor indicated this is a former landfill site The likelihood I don't really think the property can be used for much else other than some sort of Passive recreational use on the surface park, but if you'd like to increase your land holdings, I bet you it's a sweet deal Any further discussion there is no further discussion We'll call please as amended Okay So we are doing just one document the rc Shall we do both let's do both anybody opposed to both Okay, which which ones are we voting on now excuse me 12 12 9 and 12 1 One is going to be accepted and filed the other one has the amendment on it. Okay Uh decker. All right common. Hi amond. Hi. Hidemon. Hi koth. No Kittleson. Hi matta check. Hi raceler abstain samson hi Ben Akron. Hi versi. Hi belt. Hi moran. Hi karlson. Hi 13 eyes one no one one abstention motion carries Okay, moving on sorry that was 12 Moving on are we still on the consent agenda? Are we through with it now? Um, we're done with consent We are done with the consent agenda and I have something else You had something else. Okay. We're moving on to the reports of officers too. Thank you Before we do that. I'd like to pull forward document number 11 20 Okay, 11 20 is The page is 11 20 on alderman. Okay matters laid over By the city clerk submitting a citizen complaint from Patrick Gillette regarding the conduct of the mayor during the august 15th, 2011 council meeting Under discussion, uh, I checked with Uh, attorney McLean on the citizen complaint and this meets all of the criteria for a Valid complaint and therefore I would like to refer this directly to the special prosecutor Make a motion to that effect Okay, we have this was on matters laid over under discussion 11 20 Alderman borne this would be actually just Forwarded on I would think because it's not you don't have to vote on it. What's not a committee. It's not a it's not a city committee So if you want it forwarded I'd make a motion then to just forward it to the special prosecutor If I need to do that or we can just forward it Turning the queen do we have to vote on the forwarding of it or can we just forward it? I guess I would recommend voting on that as opposed to filing it or something so that It's clear in the record. What's taken place for forwarding it. Okay so And I would make a motion to file that I would make a motion on document number 11 20 The citizen complaint from Patrick Gillette Directly to the special prosecutor second We have a motion in a second under discussion We'd like to comment on this this motion basically states that in this council meeting when I was speaking I was out of turn or something to that effect and I violated every rule in the book every alderman in this room had The opportunity to call point of order You are a citizen.

Mayor. I move the rcb accepted and adopted and the substitute resolution be put upon its passage second Motion and a second to accept and adopt and put the substitute resolution upon its passage under discussion Alderman versi first to the button. Thank you, mr. Mayor. I'd like to just kind of point out to the fact that I don't agree with this whatsoever. I'm this this is a service that has been done And since the city of shabuigan taxpayers are requesting these such as the shabuigan youth football They did do standbys down there and now they're going to go ahead and charge for that same standby with all these city taxpayers being down there I guess they kind of have an issue with that Um in the past it's been a private service and they had to pay for it Actually, they didn't pay for it in the past now that they're going to have to pay for it I feel like they're Already doing a service by having their community Functions in our city and now we're going to penalize them if they want to have some coverage there Which is paid for by tax dollars already So i'm not in in supporting this tonight because of that reason. I think it should still be a community service that we provide Thank you. Alderman versi alderman van akron I I guess I'd first open the floor to chief herman if you'd like to answer any questions in reference to this if he can make his way up here Alderman versi that's um, that's not correct. We are not charging those Organizations, it's only the the organizations that have requested us to be dedicated to that event that we cannot leave The standbys that we're doing at the football they understand if we get a call and we have to leave We'll replace that with another med unit, but we're not charging them Thank you chief any further questions for the chief before you hobble back away Alderman van akron, please continuing like the chief said it's for the dedicated service where that ambulance unit would not be able to leave that event Some of the events that were given for examples were some of the martial arts events boxing events where they by insurance reasons Need to have an ambulance at that event Again, I think it's appropriate then to charge that group for having an ambulance. That has to be there and can't leave The charges would cover an overtime Unit to then stay at that event for that duration. So I would be in favor of this Thank you. Alderman van akron alderman carlson Thank you, mayor. I was just going to ask the fire chief Verification very good. Thank you.

I believe we need suspension on this one and the reason for that is Madam city clerk has to get this back to the county clerk I guess already tomorrow Put the finishing touches on this Madam do you have to do that? I yeah the county board meets on a final thing for this tomorrow night. Okay Hey, so is anybody opposed to the rules being suspended? The rules are suspended otherwise, uh, then I would make a motion to put the general ordinance upon its passage We have a motion in a second to put the ordinance upon its passage under discussion Under discussion vice president Decor did you here is this old? Alderman van Akron. Thank you, mr. Mayor I guess I would just like to hear from the city clerk's office In reference to the changes that are being made and why we are again looking at the changes that are being made A lot of which affect my district and alderman homin's district. I guess just Why these changes keep coming up? I can do that briefly We had the lines drawn the redistricting between us and the county And then the state came in and made a decision to change the lines So the first map that you received was the original redistricting map that we had that set out We had 23 wards at that time When the state came through and changed the lines which will affect Alderman van Akron and alderman homin We actually were forced to divide three wards into six And some of them are 200 people some of them are 400 people. So it really created quite Quite a bit of problems for us We had to do it. We have to get it to the county by tomorrow night Basically now we will have 26 wards Most of the problem occurs in wards four through nine which are the small Kind of a northern central area if you see on the map that's up here Basically we we'd hope to stay with 16 polling places. I'm going to have to go to 17 However, the cost factor will not be as high as I thought because we have been able to acquire two machines We have an extra one and the county has one. So we will be able to use those For that 17th ward. However, we still will have manpower, etc for that As soon as it passes tomorrow night, we'll get a more refined map. We'll get it on the internet We'll get it to you so that you have your district lines And right now we're just Kind of right at the last stages here Thank you, sue and to offset that labor issue alderman can volunteer for polls outside of their own districts, correct? I thought it was required In fact, I'm sure it is that would solve that increase in labor problem there steve Yes, I have a question the city clerk The document on my desk. Anyway says the actual ordinance would be on the desk Monday evening legal descriptions are still in process Are they going to be completed by tomorrow? You should have one there was Yeah, you should have it was under It's 12-48 They have been distributed Yes, they've got 26. We worked very hard Friday afternoon and this Morning Okay, thank you sue. Thank you steve Any further discussion if there is no further discussion roll call, please Carlson Hi Decker common Hi Hammond Hi Heidemann Hi Katz Hi Kittleson Hi Manichuk Hi Racler Hi Samson Hi Excuse me.

So I would no we're not. So could I announce something to the council? Meeting notice Sure I just want to make the uh council aware that I'm going to be calling a committee of the whole meeting this coming wednesday night Probably at six o'clock, but I have to make sure there's no conflicts with other With other committees, but I think it's going to be six o'clock and the reason uh the the uh committee of the whole meeting will be in closed session And uh the purpose of the closed session will be to confer with legal counsel Uh attorney joseph wolfner. He wanted to call me today instead of his hiring pass tonight He wanted to have a meeting with the committee of the whole as soon as possible So that will be wednesday night at six o'clock in closed session There might be one other agenda item on there Marge matter and constituent referred something to the committee of the whole so i'll give marge A chance to speak on that wednesday night because it is timely what we're going to be talking about it's salary and grievance on Monday, but I don't anticipate anticipated being a long meeting.

In the open science agenda I'm really excited about EOSC. We are working on all open science related projects. We are participating in an NFOS project and we are about to help Hungary into the line of EOSC or to join EOSC properly and make awareness in the Hungarian researchers that why is it important for them to use the infrastructure given provided by the European Union and the other countries across Europe.

Having somebody like me in the center, I think, is exactly what the center is about. It doesn't do the norm or the expected, and I'm a minority in the center. There aren't a lot of literature people, but the work that I was doing is clearly about law and literature, particularly in religion, particularly because I'm working with 18th and 19th century African-American families, and that involves marriage, it involves family making, it involves all kinds of things, and when 90% of African-Americans prior to the war were enslaved, then the law was particularly important, and how did they survive and how did their marriages stay intact and how did their children grow and how come they didn't die out, but prospered was because of religion, and so that was what I was interested in, how it happened. I love going places where I haven't been before, like across Clifton, across the bridge to the medical side, and so that was sort of like rare rabbit, you know, when they mentioned this I thought, yes, that would be a good thing for me to try. Being in the center has really changed my work. For one thing, going across the street, coming over to law and working with people in law and in public health and the great kind of diaspora of people interested in a particular thing, but coming from very different perspectives, made me realize that my perspective was not the center of the universe, and I had to learn how to talk with them and how to make what I was finding so important, important to them, help them understand that, and I think that was the biggest change. I learned a lot from talking with theologians, from talking with lawyers, from talking Anita Bernstein is just a real hoot and Martha Feynman, and all these people that I came to like, and some people from my own college, like Mark Jordan, who I'd sing but didn't know, and having them as kind of personal colleagues means that I can call upon them and ask them to read this or check that, or Mark, tell me again about same-sex marriage in the 14th century, so I can actually do a better job, but basically it was the idea of trying to learn that each one of us comes from a different place and that we don't necessarily speak the same language even if we're speaking English. If this was the first or one of the first interdisciplinary centers at Emory, then it has changed Emory, Emory, because Emory prides itself now on being an interdisciplinary site of learning, and from, you know, students come because they can do interdisciplinary work, faculty come because they can do interdisciplinary work, and in fact many of us stay because we can do this. It's a challenge and it's exciting and it's something you don't find everywhere. I would hope that this center has had an effect beyond the university. I suspect it has, because the conferences and many of the publications, and actually just the mailings they do, I'll go to a varied group of people, and you can hardly go six months without getting something from the center, and so eventually somebody's going to pick it up and look at it, but I think from the attendance at the conferences that I've been to, from the kinds of lectures that they give and the people who come when Robert Franklin gave his talk, he's one of the fellows, that auditorium was filled primarily with people who hardly ever set foot on Emory's campus. They were from all over Atlanta and they occupied a number of different positions, and I think that's fairly typical. So you have both the intent or the organization of the center which understands the importance of publication and conversation outside, but you also have a number of individuals who in their own professional and personal lives are everywhere, and they bring people here and they take the ideas out to other people, and so it's working on two levels. If I were setting out the center's agenda, I would simply do more of some of the things that it already does. I would focus more on gender. I would focus more on race, various religions. It's hard, you cannot do them all, but you do have yourself situated in Atlanta, and this site is a very special site where God and guns and all come together in very, very interesting ways, and so I would put a little more emphasis up on the resources of Atlanta, both in terms of legends and icons and the practicalities. When I talk about taking advantage of its site and the resources around it, I'm talking about it in a very holistic and practical way. There are other avenues for advocacy. I belong to some, but this I think part of the treasure of this is that it is such a motley crew of ideas, idealism, personal religious beliefs, all of that. It would hurt very much. I think the work of the Center, if we try to come out in favor of or speak on that issue beyond the individual publications, the conferences to talk things over, that's the wonderful thing about these conferences is that they can have almost diametrically opposed individuals on the same program, and we can hear it in an area or in a situation where we have a chance to hear the very best minds on different ideas and come up with our own conclusions. The ways in which, even as we are sophisticated intellectual, you know, professional professors, we can behave like students. John Whitty has, does not play. He gets three hours, he doesn't want a break, but this long, and we will do all kinds of things to enlarge that break. You know, we, we just try to get him talking about something so that we can rest for a minute because it's scheduled so much, we would go from like I think two to five, and we would be exhausted. It would be very good, but I would get tickled sometimes at our stalling techniques or how in the hallway we all suddenly have to go to the restroom just at the end of the break, and he would be pulling us in. That was, it was really kind of fun. On one hand you can say it put me in my place, and on the other hand it gave me a larger place. Where I come from, women, literature, language, cultural, outside of the law, the law and religion are almost not talked about. Those are everyday things. Those are the most important things in the world. Coming over here reminded me that what I do is incredibly important in part because these folks don't know about it yet, and when I do or say something that they find really helpful, I am so excited.
