Safety And Licensing Committee Meeting 05/14/2025 – Will Consider Request From AASD Superintendent To Delay Action On Truancy Ordinance, Vote On Requests To Deny Taxi-Cab License Applications For Two Applicants With Long Criminal Histories

The Safety and Licensing Committee is meeting 05/14/2025 at 5:30PM.

The Resolution to establish a new Truancy Ordinance will be before them once again. It appears that Appleton Area School District Superintendent Greg Hartjes is requesting that the committee delay action on the resolution “so that next steps to be considered can be further clarified.” A meeting was held on 04/15/2025 between various governmental representatives and entities to discuss issues surrounding implementation of a truancy ordinance. Per the letter from Superintendent Hartjes, the attendees at that meeting, “agreed to meet again as soon a practicable to provide further information on the role each of us would play if an attendance ordinance were to be adopted. Furthermore, a delay in action will allow staff from the AASD to continue to provide information and gather additional input from Common Council members and community members on the steps needed to support students who are struggling with consistent attendance.”

They will also be voting on requests to deny taxi-cab license applications for two applicants.

Cara, the first applicant, has a conviction history stretching back to 2007 for offenses including theft, forgery, and issuing worthless checks.

Sara, the second applicant, has a conviction history stretching back to 1993 for offenses including burglary, issuing worthless checks, theft, forgery, and possession of methamphetamine.

They will also be voting on a number of license applications and license change of agent applications.
