CITY OF AMERY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS January 26, 2021 The Public Safety Committee of the City of Amery met on Tuesday – January 26, 2021 via Zoom. Chairperson Strohbusch called the meeting to order at 6:50 PM. Present: Chairperson, Tim Strohbusch, Vice-Chairperson, Julie Riemenschneider, and Member Eric Elkin. Staff Present: City Administrator/City Clerk-Treasurer, Patty Bjorklund; Deputy Clerk/Treasurer, Ben Jansen; and Police Chief, Tom Marson. Others Present: Mayor, Paul Isakson and Alderpersons, Chad Leonard and Rick Van Blaricom. Removal of Parking Limit Signs on Keller Ave: Mayor Isakson was present to discuss the necessity of the parking limit signs on Keller Ave. He stated that the signs are not enforced anyway and that the business owners can enforce it by themselves to prevent employees parking in front of businesses. Police Chief Marson wondered if tenants in apartments would take over the “prime” spots resulting in issues with overnight and winter parking. No action was taken at this time. Emergency Management Plan: Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Jansen informed the Committee that he had begun taking classes at UW-Green Bay for Emergency Management. Ordinance 02-2021: Chapter 405 Vehicles and Traffic: Police Chief Marson had brought this forward because of the parking ban that exists on the south side of Broadway St. The ban in question never had signs posted and Chief Marson believes that it is not necessary anymore.
