6. Discussion and Action Items  
24-1431  
Request from a constituent to consider enforcing parking ban on alternate  
sides of the street during the Street Sweeping season.  
Attachments: Street Parking Concern for Street Sweeping  
Josh Wildenhoeft, 3307 Division Street, was present to discuss the Street  
Sweeping Parking Ban. He is having an issue with parking 4 vehicles and a  
boat at the property he is currently renting. He said the City of Sheboygan  
alternates their plow operations with even days/even house numbers, odd  
days/add house numbers. He would like to be able to park on different sides of  
the street on different days to help him with the issue of having to move 4  
vehicles off the street.  
Billy Hutterer, Operations Manager, was present to discuss the street sweeping  
operations. Alternative street sweeping discussions occurred in the past and  
the way we are currently sweeping is more efficient and timely.  
Snow plowing and street sweeping are 2 completely different operations. It  
would be in the best interest of the City to not make any changes at this time.  
The Committee agreed that making any changes at this time would cost the  
City taxpayers more money and the service would be less efficient.  
G. Minikel explained that the Stormwater Mandate requires the City to provide  
the vacuum sweeper and parking ban.  
This Request was placed on file within Engineering Department.
