The Common Council met 11/16/2022. It was a very brief meeting with only two items separated out.
The first was the special use permit for the Holiday Gas station and carwash on the corner of Calumet and Schaefer Street that had been discussed and approved at the City Plan Commission meeting. Alderperson Denise Fenton (District 6) requested that it be separated out, but none of the council members made and comments or had any questions about it. Alderperson Vered Meltzer (District 2) voted against it, but gave no indication what the reasons for that nay vote were.
The second item separated out was the Linwood Avenue street reconstruction design plan that had been discussed during the Municipal Services Committee meeting. Alderperson Alex Schultz (District 9) separated it out in order to thank city staff for their responsiveness to the concerns raised by a business owner who was negatively affected by the original plan to remove all on-street parking and their willingness to make changes to the design to reduce that negative impact.
An item not separated out was the 2024 aldermanic salary. This had been discussed and voted on during a special session of the Human Resources and Information Technology Committee but was not separated out for further discussion by the Common Council. Instead, they approved the recommendation from the committee along with the rest of the balance of the agenda.
Although the video and minutes of the Human Resources and Information Technology Committee’s special session have not been posted, per a note in the meeting details of the Common Council meeting, no changes were made to the 2024valdermanic salary.
