So just a brief comment from me. I'm not as loath to support advocacy resolutions as my colleague. However, when state policy or state statutes interfere with the city's ability to legislate what we believe is appropriate for our municipality, I think it is advisable to reach out to the state in terms of home rule. So in this occasion, I'll be voting for this, and I would support it when it goes to council. So if there aren't any other comments, we'll go ahead and vote. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye.
All opposed? Nay. All right. That passes 3 to 1. All right, moving to our next action item, 26-1227, resolution number 14-R-26, increasing penalties for unnecessary noise. Can we get a motion?
Okay, we have a motion and a second. And Alder Meltzer is also an author on this resolution, so I'll call on him again.
Thank you. Any questions? Alder Hartzheim. Thank you, Chair. Are you all ready for this?
Yes, I'm happy to withdraw. And so can we get a motion? And I expect that we'd want to refer this to the legal department.
Okay, so we have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion on this motion, Alder Hayden?
So I'm going to defer to Attorney Berwin on what might be a reasonable...
Okay. So we have a motion and a second to refer to the legal department. with the expectation that we would have a recommendation back from them for our meeting on October 14th. All right. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. That passes 4-0. I just want to take just a second to thank everybody involved for their work on this. I mean, clearly this is an important issue to our community, and I think everybody is working really hard to address it. All right, so we have a whole slew of license applications. Do we need to…
All right. So we have a motion to approve the balance of the agenda. Is there anything that needs to be separated? Yes.
Okay. Okay. All right, I've got that one. And Alder Hayden, did you have one as well? Or I'm sorry, Alder Lambert.
Okay, so let's go ahead and take that one up first. Temporary Class B wine license application for, I am reading the wrong thing. Class B beer and Class B wine license application for the Mary Beth Neenhouse Activity Center.
All right. We have a motion and a second. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? Abstentions. Okay. So that passes 3-0, and we will note Alder Jones' abstention. All right. So we have a motion and a second on the balance of the agenda. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. That passes 4-0. The balance of the agenda is approved, and those are items 26-1171, 26-1198, 26-1168, 26-1169, 26-1173, and 26-1131. All right, so we're moving to our information items. We have alcohol license violation convictions.
I did see somebody, and he was standing up. But he did not give me any indication that he wanted to speak. So if that is true, then apologies on my part. Because I was watching, but I didn't see a hand go up or anything.
Thank you, Alder Meltzer, for that. All right. So violation convictions, dispensing alcohol to a minor. We had Appleton Axe, Appleton Yacht Club, the Daily Pint, Apollon. So we would expect to see those. And we have a sale to an intoxicated person from Rascal's Bar and Grill. 26-1197, the notification of $20,443 allocated to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for Appleton and Outagamie. Does any PD have anything to add on that? Okay. Special events. Good morning, Chair.
OK. If we could, please. So we'll take it back to the police department for a brief. You're on District 5?
Thank you. Okay. Thank you. All right. Okay. Special events. Lots of things. It's that time of year. Lots of things going on. Director's reports, we don't have anything from the city clerk or the Alder Smith. What mic are you on?
I'm getting, okay. Okay. I am definitely going to get there. Thank you. Okay. We have nothing for the clerk, the fire chief, but under the police chief, we have the combined focus report and the directed patrol on East College. So, Assistant Chief Lewis, you're on.
Thank you for asking that, because I will confess that when I first looked at it on Monday, I was also a little bit confused. So, and thanks for the explanation. Any other questions? Comments on that? Alder Jones.
That's a good point. I think about Richmond as well. Yes.
All right, we have a motion and a second. All in favor?
