5. Discussion and Action Items

23-0216 Prohibited Dangerous Animal objection by Tamra Bolle for Majestic.

Tamra Bolle, owner of "Majestic" was present to contest the order she

received to remove her dog from the City limits of Manitowoc. Mason

Benzinger the step-father of the individual bit by "Majestic" was also

present to discuss his concerns about the dog and why he feels the dog

should be ordered out of the City.

Chief Reimer explained after receiving correspondence from Mason

Benzinger an investigation took place and it was determined "Majestic"

meets the definition of a "prohibited dangerous animal" pursuant to MMC

14.020(2)(C). A notice was sent to Tamra Bolle ordering "Majestic" out of

the City limits of Manitowoc. Tamra contested the order which then

required the matter to be placed on the Public Safety agenda to be

reviewed by the Public Safety Committee.

A motion was made by Alderperson Reckelberg to move forward with the

recommendation from Police Chief Reimer and order to remove the dog

"Majestic" from the City limits of Manitowoc.

Moved by Reckelberg, seconded by Vanderkin, that this Action Item be accepted

and placed on file. The motion carried by the following vote:

40th Street.

Attachments: Waldo Blvd traffic concern - Tony Rodriguez

Tony Rodriguez a resident from North 40th Street informed the Public

Safety Committee about his concern with the speed limit on Waldo

Boulevard. Tony explained traffic speeds through this area making it very

dangerous. Tony would like to see either a reduction in the speed limit or

possibly a plan to install a round-a-bout at the intersection of North Rapids

Road and Waldo Boulevard.

A motion was made by Alderperson Schlei to install a radar display board

like the one installed on Waldo Boulevard at Fleetwood Drive in the

Southbound direction of travel on Waldo Boulevard somewhere between

North Rapids Road and Fleetwood Drive.

Moved by Schlei, seconded by Reckelberg, that this Action Item be approved and

Pedestrian crossing concern at the intersection of South 8th Street and

Marshall Street.

Attachments: S. 8th Street and Marshall Street - Laura Stecker

S. 8th Street and Marshall Street - Charlene Bordeau

Several parents along with Pastor Hoff from First German Lutheran School

expressed their concern about pedestrian crossing at the intersection of

South 8th Street and Marshall Street. During before-school and

after-school hours, many young children cross at this intersection and since

the 2-way traffic conversion, they feel there is a noticeable change in the

traffic pattern. Several recommendations such as making the intersection a

4-way stop, adding flashing lights, and providing a school crossing guard

were made. After some discussion, no action was taken on this item at this

time. Police Chief Reimer will request more enforcement in this area and

members of First German will work on possibly coming up with funds to

install pedestrian crossing signs or provide a crossing guard. Collin

Braunel will also discuss with the school board if there are any options they

can provide.

23-0217

Discussion and possible action on removing parking in the 900 block of
