III. APRIL 14, 2026, AND APRIL 21, 2026, MINUTES.

TEMPORARY AMENDMENT OF “CLASS B” RETAIL LICENSE PREMISES and BEER GARDEN PERMIT. President Jackett explained Richard Gadzinski, Agent for Hika Bay Tavern LLC , was requesting a temporary amendment of the current premises description and an allowance to exceed noise limits. The purpose was to hold an outdoor event in the tavern parking lot on July 11, 2026, that would include alcohol sales and consumption and a live band. The President didn’t believe a beer garden permit was required for this temporary exception. The event application included erecting a scissor-style barrier the length of the parking lot, parallel to the street. Trustee Warosh asked Chief Fisher if he had any safety concerns. He had none provided there were controls in place for juveniles and security to check IDs, and sufficient crowd management, garbage collection, and sanitary facilities. Motion Burkhard/Ader to open the floor; carried without negative vote. Richard Gadzinski agreed with the Board’s concerns but didn’t agree with suggested controls. He noted the site will be gated and juveniles will be provided wristbands. IDs will be checked at the outdoor bar if the juveniles attempt to obtain alcohol. He noted the band was more popular with an older crowd and he didn’t expect many young people there to create issues. Mr. Gadzinski was interested in holding more events during the year and stated his “Class B” renewal license application would include the parking lot and patio as part of the licensed premises. T he Board emphasized that the outcomes from this event will impact their decisions on any future requests and recommended they proceed with the temporary amendment in case the parking lot is not approved at the time of the renewal. Mr. Gadzinski stated he was reaching out to neighboring property owners and working to address parking so Lincoln Ave could remain accessible for emergency vehicles and various options were brought forward for off-street parking on other properties. The Board also discussed blocking off one side of the street during the event to protect emergency access. Motion Warosh/Burkhard to grant a temporary amendment to the “Class B” retail license premises at Hika Bay Tavern LLC, 252 Lincoln Ave., for the hours 7:00pm to 10:00pm on Saturday, July 11, 2026, to allow outdoor alcohol sales and consumption on the patio and parking lot as stated in the application; carried without negative vote. B. REQUEST TO EXCEED NOISE LIMITS. Mr. Gadzinski requested the Board approve a deviation from the 70 dB limit for commercial properties identified in Sec. 9-2-9, Code of Ordinances so a live band (the Dave Steffen Band) could perform in the parking lot. The Board discussed measuring decibel limits and clarifying the requested end time of 11:00pm. Sheryl Nehls, 1424 Webster Ln. Requested clarification on when the noise limits would be enforced. After discussion, motion Burkhard/Warosh to allow the live band to exceed the 70 dB noise limit established by Sec. 9- 2-9, Code of Ordinances, for the hours 7:00pm to 10:00pm on July 11, 2026; carried without negative vote. The noise limit would be enforced after 10:00pm. Motion Burkhard/Ader to close the floor; carried without negative vote. V. MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING SERVICES: set meeting date and procedure for applicant interviews. President Jackett reported the Public Works and Utilities Committee was bringing forward three firms for the Board to interview. They needed a date for the interviews and a procedure for applicant interviews. After discussion, the Board set a preferred m eeting date of Thursday, June 18, 2026, 5pm, with interview questions due to President Jackett or Director Grunwald by June 5. VI. TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL COURT PROJECT UPDATE. Trustee Ader reported on his meeting with Munson Inc, a firm that was installing courts in the City of Sheboygan. The company was working in Glenbeulah and Elkhart Lake this year if the Board wanted to get penciled on their schedule now. He added the price for new courts could be more than twice what was expected but the Board had increased the Park Improvement fund by $168,000 as part of the 2026 budget. Trustee Burkhard suggested he and Trustee Ader meet with the contractor and Cleveland Athletic Club members to discuss design, costs, and a possible contribution from the Club. President Jackett noted the project w as still in the Public Works and Utilities Committee so didn’t anticipate the Board would act on this until the Committee had a recommendation. VII.
