Update: We passed the library transfer unanimously. We put off a vote on the cycling event guarantee until a future council meeting, as we continue to seek sponsorship dollars to help defray the annual site fee and other costs. We also approved the Sportz Medicine II agent change … after speaking to the owners about the February stabbing.
A rather light agenda for the next South Milwaukee Common Council meeting, but there are a couple items of note on the agenda:
- The council will consider approving the transfer of $16,000 from the library contingency fund to the library budget in order to avoid a potential state-imposed penalty. Apparently, the state requires that a single year’s local library budget can not be cut to a level below the average of that library’s previous three years’ budgets. Cuts to the South Milwaukee Library budget this year would have put spending below that average, and the transfer will avoid that. Not sure I like this law …
- The council will also consider entering into a contract with the International Cycling Classic for the bicycle race I’ve written about. The search for sponsorship to back that $15,000+ investment continues …
The meeting is at 7 p.m. at City Hall. You can see the full agenda here.
There’s another meeting of note on Tuesday at City Hall. The Legislation & Permits Committee meets at 6:30 p.m., and on the agenda is a discussion regarding the recent stabbing incident at Sportz Medicine II. We’re also considering a “change of agent” request for the Sportz Medicine II Class B liquor license at this meeting. I’ll keep you posted.
