I have no access to a vehicle that I can use to trailer my side by side. 42 00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:49,140 I have to go almost half a mile to my daughter's house, which she lives on West Stout Street, 43 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,840 which I could trailer to her house if I could get there. And they're going to have no way to store it 44 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,380 there or anything else either. And I have no way of going to her house or anything to get there. 45 00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:06,020 I don't know which way you guys want to look at that. If you want to go from Wisconsin up to West Stout, 46 00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:11,600 Right there with a hospital cross to get to the hospital and you can have hazel with the other way 47 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,100 So they have two different directions to go 48 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,460 To get to the trails the shortest moment 49 00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:23,340 Because I do know on 48 according to the DNR guy unhighly 48. There's an access from 50 00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:26,720 That up all way up to the vulnerable 51 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:33,060 Varn stuff that you can drive the side by side that far up so far up and go both directions 52 00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:44,040 But there's nothing for anybody that's on a trail that has an emergency and they can't get to the hospital without running the risk of the city cops 53 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,040 Which they also said they'll give tickets and I talked to two of your officers, which were very 54 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,860 Analogical and everything else sir. I appreciate them. I can't remember their names. Sorry about that 55 00:04:54,860 --> 00:05:02,260 But they informed me of it too, and I've also talked to the swunner DNR and find out and I have educated myself 56 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,200 sense this on all trails which ones I can use and what I can use. And there is a 57 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,260 property between my property and another street but it's privately owned and it's 58 00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:17,960 a development and they will not know me to have access to go through that property 59 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,940 to get over to that street because they eventually want to develop it and they 60 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:27,580 don't want the property tore up and whatnot. I can understand that. So I'm right 61 00:05:27,580 --> 00:05:34,900 know, would like to see either option from Wisconsin up to West out, just enough to get to 62 00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,780 the hospital, because then go the street up, or they can go over and he's wouldn't 63 00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:46,620 go up that site street and go across at the light, going west, becoming east, the only thing 64 00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:53,780 you're option you have is to come down west out to pastions, and then over to West out 65 00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:55,580 and then go that way to get on the trails. 66 00:05:56,220 --> 00:06:02,040 So I don't know if you guys want to go to all the way to Wisconsin and do it that way or if you want to just use those two streets. 67 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,520 I already will have to wrap it up. 68 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,800 Yes, those problems. 69 00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:05,740 Thank you for your time. 70 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:06,920 Thank you for your time. 71 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,660 Thank you Victoria. 72 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:10,720 Mr. Mark Sherman. 73 00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:13,580 The floor is yours sir. 74 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:16,180 Thank you. 75 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,060 First let me say I really love writing my bicycle and rice like this very bicycle friendly. 76 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,360 This fun. 77 00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:31,520 But I'm left I'm up here tonight because I'm asking a question if the rules of the road apply to people on bicycles. 78 00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:37,360 Did when I was younger and I don't know if it still does I was I think it does. 79 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,480 So and it bothers me because I don't think we're actually following the rules of the road in many cases. 80 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,620 The second thing I'm wondering about is sidewalk use. 81 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,880 I always suppose to have bicycles on the sidewalk and other vehicles on the sidewalk. 82 00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:05,320 I've been passed by electronic scooters riding down the sidewalk faster than I can go on my bicycle. 83 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:12,220 And that brings me to the last question I have is what actually constitutes a motorized vehicle now. 84 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,220 So, that's all I had. 85 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,080 Thanks. 86 00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:16,960 All righty. 87 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,600 Thank you, Mark. 88 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,660 And we'll get you some answers for that. 89 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:20,180 All right. 90 00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:22,260 Thank you very much. 91 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,660 Second time public appearances. 92 00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:26,860 Anybody else for public appearances? 93 00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:29,400 Third and final time. 94 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:44,360 For public appearances, seeing none, the portion of the meeting is not closed.

And my comment is that we know that's a vital position. 124 00:08:54,190 --> 00:09:00,710 Very needed position. It's a key position in the city and Julie certainly needs this person 125 00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:05,990 in place. So I'm not questioning the need for it. But what I did read was that there were 92 126 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:10,810 applicants from that it was sorted down to 5 and ended up in 1. I may have the numbers wrong but it's 127 00:09:10,810 --> 00:09:17,850 something like that. And there's no information for us about this person, yet we're being asked 128 00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:25,130 to approve this. And it was just asking S.J., or Julie, or the mayor. We just give us a 60 129 00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:28,930 second overview of a 30 second overview about this person, where they're coming from, where 130 00:09:28,930 --> 00:09:34,930 they what qualifies them to this. I'm not doubting the work that the committee did in selecting 131 00:09:34,930 --> 00:09:38,870 this person. That's not the point. But I think it would be nice to be familiar with, 132 00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:41,690 Remember, it is in their qualifications, all right? 133 00:09:42,110 --> 00:09:42,710 And it's a customer. 134 00:09:43,570 --> 00:09:46,090 Maryly is coming to us from, actually, 135 00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:49,530 she currently works tribal, and I don't remember which one 136 00:09:49,530 --> 00:09:51,610 because she's worked for both St. Craig and LCO. 137 00:09:52,650 --> 00:09:55,110 She has worked for Washburn County in payroll. 138 00:09:55,170 --> 00:09:57,590 She has worked for the Hayward School District in payroll. 139 00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:59,710 Currently, what she's doing with tribal 140 00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:04,290 is more background doing a lot of accounting stuff. 141 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:06,230 She does reconciled bank reconciliation. 142 00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:14,170 She's been doing grant accounting grant tracking and stuff like that.
