Tuesday’s South Milwaukee Common Council meeting promises to be a busy one. Among the items on the agenda:
- Several items from the Legislation and Permits Committee, at the request of Police Chief Ann Wellens. I’ve already written about the proposed business security camera mandate and a potential “sober server” ordinance. We’ll also be discussing increasing some ordinance fine amounts. Some of the biggest increases would involve disorderly conduct ($169 to $338), discharge of a firearm ($295 to $676) and misuse of 911 ($169 to $213). I am inclined to support all of these changes … and hopefully others down the road.
- The Council will also vote on a resolution to set the amount the city would charge property owners for snow and ice removal at $75 per hour “or any fraction of an hour.” Learn more about this subject in this post.
- We’ll also vote on officially endorsing the Milwaukee Gateway Aerotropolis and on awarding of a conditional use permit for the construction of a new office and storage building at Emerson (formerly Appleton Electric) at 2101 5th Avenue.
One other note: The Council will surely accept South Milwaukee Police Sgt. Glen Gossett’s letter of retirement. He is retiring after 26 years of service. Please join me in wishing him well.
The meeting starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall. You can see the full Council agenda here.
