Streamlining Public Safety and Public Infrastructure agenda requests.

City Attorney, Eric N. was present to discuss the streamlining process for some  
of the Public Safety and Public Infrastructure agenda requests.  
He explained that smaller items are better suited for City Staff. The team will  
work together quickly and efficiently and if the constituent is still not in favor of  
the staff recommendation, they can reach out to the Alderman / Committee at  
that time. The Chairperson will always have the ability to add issues to the  
agendas.  
Greg explained smaller items that involve Ordinance changes will always be  
brought to Committee.  
T. Reckelberg asked if a constituent contacts City if we could copy the  
Alderman to keep them in the loop. The City Attorney and Engineering Staff  
said they will be sure to copy the Alderman of the particular district in the  
communication.  
The Committee was in favor of allowing City Staff to move forward with  
recommendation.  
A motion was made by Vice Chair Todd Reckelberg, seconded by Tim Boldt, that  
the Communication regarding streamlining PS and PI Agenda requests was

options that were explained to the Committtee.

driveway for Diversion Motors, LLC and replace both existing manhole

are in support of processing through CAWG. If that doesn't help, we can look to
