Hi, I am responding to emails (City Hall is closed) but just wanted to give some direction on absentee voting. Please go to MyVote.wi.gov and request a ballot there. If you are a registered voter and for some reason can't request a ballot through MyVote.wi.gov I can process your email request when sent to me but I need a copy of Photo ID (Driver License, State ID, Passport, etc.) or if you want to be on the indefinitely confined list (ballot mailed to you for every election) then you do not have to provide Photo ID.

Council members, i have been in contact with Administration as to the agenda for City Council for April 9, 2020. There is not a line item listed for "Announcements" on the agenda. The Mayor told me that he will be addressing the recent April 7, 2020 election in Green Bay in the "Report by the Mayor". Under "G2. Committee of the Whole', the Mayor stated that comments can be made there. The mayor also stated that under "Petititions and Communications" that there is an option for Alders who want to suggest forward-looking actions. I will be available for discussion before the meeting, if need be.

Ald. Mark Steuer District 10 Green Bay 920-664-6033 From: District Five To: Eric Genrich Subject: COVID-19 Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 2:00:02 PM

Hello Mayor,

Have you given this any thought or is it possible to make this happen on a city level or even a state level?

With all non essential businesses now closed. There seems to be a lot of people still moving around. Has there been any thought to closing all essential businesses at least one day a week? I think Sundays would be the best day.

This type of closure would allow all of the essential workers a full day off. Which Im sure they would appreciate. In return this would stop people from entering all of these businesses and this may help slow the process of this virus within our communities.

When I state all businesses - this would include hardware stores, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants. etc. Basically all types of businesses would close for one day a week.

Im just throwing it out there for you. This virus seems will be affecting more and more people each day and it will continue to grow.

I hope you are well along with your family!

Take care!

Curbside Voting in Brown County

The Brown County Clerk’s office reminds voters today that if you cannot enter the polling place or

absentee voting location due to disability, curbside voting is available at all polling locations in Brown

County.

Two poll workers will bring you your ballot and conduct voting at your vehicle or at the polling place

entrance. If you vote curbside, you are not required to sign the poll list. Instead, the poll workers will

write “exempt by order of inspectors” in the signature space on the poll list.

If you vote curbside and need to update you voter registration due to an address or name change, or

if you are not currently a registered voter, you may also register to vote curbside with a current and

valid Proof of Residence document. If you would like to vote curbside, you should contact your

municipal clerk beforehand to discuss and arrival time and what you should do when you get to the

voting location.

The Brown County Clerk’s Office has prepared a specific web page with information

www.browncountywi.gov/elections to find typical and revised polling locations for this election.

Likewise, Brown County government has secured a special election phone number to help electors reach staff so that they can address questions and concerns. Please call (414) 395-1650.

How did it go yesterday, with social distancing?

Cannot reach Kris by phone so trying email. and would really like to know if the first sentence of the second paragraph is ok?? The City Clerk is in charge of the elections and the purpose of changing the communication is to honor that but if there are unintended consequences please let me know.

To: The appropriate Committee, person or group:

From: Alder Barbara Dorff, District 1

April 9th, 2020 To form an ad hoc elections committee for the duration of the Covid 19 National Crisis.

The purpose of said committee, under the direction of the Green Bay City Clerk, would be to proactively assist the Clerk to plan for the November 2020 election and have the primary goal of obtaining positive suggestions and action items to improve the process of holding elections that occur during the Covid 19 outbreak.

This committee could review what happened during the in person voting in Green Bay on April 7th, 2020, as well as what areas of planning for a future election might be changed or improved and could include such items as:

1. The communications to the public regarding early voting and absentee ballots.

2. The mechanics and logistics of the April 7th election and what can be done now to ensure a more successful and efficient election in August and November.

3. If needed, the committee should make recommendations to the Mayor and City council and determine if recommendations or requests should be made to the Wisconsin Elections Commission in advance of the August/November 2020 election.

I would assume that now the top court has ruled that the governor couldnt postpone the election, the polling locations will be open tomorrow?

Hello all, I have spoken to a number of you about the concerns that I have in door to door campaigning during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am enclosing a letter that I produced after reading over the Wisconsin Emergency Order #12 Order (Safer at Home Order) and looking up some information on the web. Please read the letter and let me know if there is any credence to what is stated. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Ald. Mark Steuer District 10 Green Bay [email protected] 920-664-6033 April 3, 2020

On March 24, 2020, Emergency Order #12, being the Safer At Home Order, was signed by Andrea Palm, the Secretary-designee of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, under the leadership of Gov. Tony Evers. This document was produced in an answer to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in Wisconsin and around the world. Under this document, Item 1 (Stay at home or place of residence), some exceptions exist for Essential Activities, which allow individuals to leave their home or residence to perform: a. Health and safety measures. b. Necessary supplies and services. c. Outdoor activities. d. Certain types of work, and e. Taking care of others.

Other functions listed under Stay at home or place of residence include Essential Governmental Functions, Essential Businesses and Operations, Minimum Basic Operations, Essential Travel, and Special Situations. Under these headers, there is not a spot that lists campaigning door-to-door as an essential activity. I suspended my Alder campaign for District 10 nearly two weeks ago, due to the Safer At Home Order. Other candidates have ignored this Order and continue depositing literature to residential doors, much to the chagrin of some constituents. Campaign literature is generally paper, cardboard, or plastic. Questions abound as to how long the virus lives on these different materials, as well as how the long the virus can be airborne. A New England Journal of Medicine study is mentioned in the following link: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-science/2020/03/28/scientist-and- researcher-answers-your-covid-19-questions/2925724001/

It states that the coronavirus can survive on steel and plastic surfaces for up to 3 days and on cardboard for up to 1 day. If these surfaces were subjected to sunlight, that could lessen the impact somewhat. The coronavirus can live on hard surfaces for 2 days. Also, it could possibly last for a few hours on hard surfaces. In my estimation, that could possibly include door handles, doorknobs, and doors in general at residential properties. The virus can also survive in the air for three hours, thus calls to remain 6’ away from other people. The takeaway from this study states that the virus seems to live longer on harder surfaces like metal, and doesn't seem to survive as long on softer, more porous surfaces like cardboard. But, there are exceptions to that rule. The virus seems to be able to survive in the air for a few hours. In general, people are thought to be more likely to catch the virus through close person-to-person contact instead of through the air or through touching infected surfaces. So, to me, this mimics a roll of the dice. As a citizen, do you want someone depositing literature at your home or on your door during this uncertain time? I have had contemporaries and professionals state that this practice is safe and others say that it is unsafe. Do you want to take that chance? I certainly do not.

Sincerely,

Ald. Mark Steuer District 10 Green Bay [email protected] 920-664-6033 (cell)

Craig, Here is the list that I put together today. I spoke with the Mayor and Kris Teske on some of these and am looking for answers from them before Thursday's Council Meeting.

Mark TAKEAWAYS FROM THE APRIL 7, 2020 ELECTION IN GREEN BAY

• How many voters ended up voting at East HS? 1338 How many voters ended up voting at West HS? 1320 • From 7 AM-8 PM (13 hrs.), that would have averaged out to 0.6 voters per minute that voted. If you extend the original 13 hours to 17.5 hours for the overflow voters who were in line by 8 PM. it would amount 0.8 voters per minute. How could have this been improved? • How many voting machines were at East? At West? Were there enough machines available? Why or why not? • Polls were open from 7 AM – 8 PM. There are 31 polling stations in Green Bay. • People were still waiting outside at 8 PM to vote. • The last voter voted at East HS at what time? At West HS at what time? 12:30 AM? • There are 52,230 registered voters in Green Bay. • 14,376 absentee ballots were sent out from the GB Clerks Office, starting when? • Given that Gov. Evers wanted to delay the election until June 9, 2020, Clerks maintains that they could have processed the nearly 38,000 remaining registered voters in time to have the election as an absentee-ballot only election. • Each ballot takes about 5 minutes to process, with a minimum of 6 touches by a Clerk to complete. That comes to a total of 1,198 man-hours for the 14,376 absentee ballots that were handled, all without a break. • How much does each absentee ballot cost in materials and postage? Who (in the end) is paying for all of this? What budgets deal with this? • For mail-in ballots, a minimum of 32 clicks is needed to process the application? How long does each request take? • Clerks maintains that given a few extra days that they could have processed the nearly 3,000 absentee ballots that remained, which in effect would have made the in-person election a moot point. • Can we decipher the breakdown of 1,198 man-hours as to what was performed by Clerks, Inspection, Parks and other City personnel? Could GBFD have helped here? • Clerks worked nights and weekends. Can you give a breakdown of actual hours per day or per shift? • In a typical spring election, what are the totals for in-house voters? For absentee ballots? From 2018 and 2016 spring elections? • In your estimation, what were the factors that caused the large increases of voters and voter requests? • It takes 3 hours of training per poll worker to work an election. Are there other hours of training needed per poll worker? • The National Guard assisted the election in Appleton. It seemed to be a fairly organized event. Why was the National Guard not utilized in Green Bay? • There were no bathrooms outside as folks waited 2-4 hours in line. Was this an oversight? • Sandy Juno said the election issues in Green Bay were not related to COVID-19 as much as it was to inefficiency. She stated that the National Guard was trained and ready to go. Explanations? • Could not the National Guard have viewed training videos weeks ago, so that if they were deployed to election sites, that they would have been up to speed? • Are there jurisdictions in Wisconsin that can email your absentee ballot to you, since the original form says that that is possible? • Perception in the community centered on the fact that there didn’t seem to be a Plan B or a Plan C.

Like all of you we are waiting to hear a final decision on tomorrow's election. In the meantime, we are still prepared to support an election with Site Support personnel and Field Service technicians remaining in place.

It is my understanding that if the election does proceed tomorrow, WEC does not want any results tapes printed or results collected at the county level. Below are the instructions I previously provided to turn of ES&S equipment without closing polls.

(Unity DS200 users: There is a slight correction below. Press the Power button, not the Close Polls button in step 1.)

Hang in there. Here's to hoping we have some clarity soon.

Please see Lt. Gering's response. I will work with him to get SRO's there and then backfill it with community police officers and patrol if we do not have the people. I have asked records manager Lisa W to poll her workers and see if we get volunteers to help staff the high schools and if I do not have enough records personnel, I will staff the locations with CSO's

Would your SRO's want to assist on election Day at the four high schools. I am working on polling the CSO's and Records staff to have one person at each of the four high schools. The chief and mayor would like an officer there too. Laux will work with the patrol shit, but would it be possible for the SRO's to be there and help out patrol? Can you ask the SRO's and let me know as asap so we can plan. Thanks for your time

Hi Kris, Passing this along. A resident in my district shared this and thought you should have this idea in your arsenal of options leading up to the election. Photos attached.

Mayor Genrich,

Thank you for calling me this morning regarding my concerns related to the termination of early voting, in-person absentee voting and in-person voter registration. While I understand these are trying times, we have heard repeatedly that you are taking your lead from state and federal leaders who are presumably experts. This should be no exception. State leaders to date have maintained their commitment to hold elections on April 7. Until that changes, I believe we must remain in compliance with the law.

I am emailing to request that you reverse course on your decision if in fact it has placed Green Bay in noncompliance. While I understand you want the Governor and State Legislature to recognize the public health concerns and hardships placed on local municipalities, we are still obligated to follow the law as it exists today.

I trust your team will find ways to ensure our staff and election personnel are properly protected. Safety is of utmost concern to all of us. But to openly stand in defiance of state law will open the city up to litigation we can prevent. I cannot remain idle recognizing the inherent risks. Please create a plan and appropriately act. Brian H. Johnson Alderman, District 9

Or, is the position our early voting hours extended beyond what is required by state statute? If so, are we liable regardless because we’ve already posted and disseminated those hours?

Obviously this is uncharted territory for us all. I just want to be sure we’re not exposing the city to legal liability.

From: District Nine Date: March 18, 2020 at 7:21:08 AM CDT To: Vanessa Chavez Subject: Early Voting Hi Vanessa,

I’m concerned about the closure of city hall, specifically as it relates to early voting and I’d like a legal opinion.

As you are aware, the governor at this time has signaled no change to the election date, likely because there is question to whether he has the statutory authority to do so which would prompt a legal challenge.

My concern for the city is legal liability, not a right vs wrong related to public health. If the city has already published early voting hours is the Mayor taking an illegal action by closing early voting to the public in absence of a decision by the state. I believe this requires prompt review and an immediate reversal of decision unless I’m interpreting something incorrectly.

Please see this link for a ruling from the Wisconsin Elections Commission stating as such. https://elections.wi.gov/node/6722

Hi Celestine,

I checked into the questions about elections, and there is a website from the Wisconsin Elections Commission devoted to this topic available here: https://elections.wi.gov/covid-19. There is a specific page for Public Health Guidance for elections here: https://elections.wi.gov/node/6787. It looks like that was posted by Megan Wolfe who is the WEC Administrator and her contact information is on the staff list. Brown County would not interpret the information on this website further as the Department of Health Services has worked with WEC, and it would be up to each municipality to determine implementation steps for this guidance.

Sandy and Celestine –

I apologize for contacting both of you. I’m not sure if this is a Green Bay or Brown County question.

UW-Green Bay is working through the many implications related to our past decisions relating to COVID-19. One issue that came up was the polling location at UW-Green Bay. We are anticipating that on the current election date that only essential staff will be working on campus. What do you believe the implications will be for the election, and what services are needed from our staff?

REQUEST

• Review the written request for an absentee ballot from a qualified elector. The absentee application request may be on the form prescribed by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) (Application for Absentee Ballot EL-121) or may be in the form of a letter, email or fax that contains the information needed for an absentee ballot request. Remember, the request must be in writing, but email and fax requests do not need to include the voter’s signature. Voters can also submit their request through the MyVote Wisconsin website: MyVote.wi.gov. You will receive an email notification when the voter makes their request through MyVote.

• All voters may receive their absentee ballot by mail, email or fax. However, clerks must honor email and fax requests from Military, Temporary Overseas and Permanent Overseas voters. Military, Permanent Overseas, indefinitely confined, and confidential voters do not need to provide a photo ID with their request. Regular and Temporary Overseas voters must provide a photo ID with their absentee ballot request.

• After determining that the elector is qualified to receive an absentee ballot, the municipal clerk may fax or e-mail the ballot to the elector.

FAXING

• The municipal clerk should initial the ballot in the endorsement section and initial the face of the ballot.

• Fax the ballot and the face of the Certification Envelope along with the Uniform Instructions for Absentee Voters.

• The voter should be instructed to vote the ballot in the presence of a witness, fold the ballot and seal it inside a regular, non-window envelope, and complete and sign the absentee certificate. A U.S. citizen, age 18 years or older, must witness, sign, and provide his or her address on the certificate. Military or permanent overseas voters must provide their birthdate. The certificate should be affixed (with glue or tape) to the envelope containing the voted ballot. The envelope with the certificate attached should be placed into another, larger, envelope, sealed and mailed to the municipal clerk. The ballot must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

• When faxing to military and overseas voters (temporary and permanent), follow procedures set out in Fax & Email Guidelines provided by the Federal Voting Assistance Program.

E-MAILING

• The municipal clerk should print their initials in the endorsement section of the ballot and on the face of the ballot and scan the initialed ballot. If you do not have access to a scanner, work with your county or the WEC to determine an alternate way of initialing the ballot before sending it via email.

• Email the initialed ballot and the face of the Absentee Ballot Certificate along with the Uniform Instructions for Absentee Voters.

• The elector should be instructed to print the ballot, vote the ballot in the presence of a witness, fold the ballot and seal it inside a regular, non-window envelope, and complete and sign the absentee certificate. An U.S. citizen, age 18 years or older, must witness, sign, and provide his or her address on the certificate. Military or permanent overseas voters must provide their birthdate. The certificate should be affixed (with glue or tape) to the envelope containing the voted ballot. The envelope with the certificate attached should be placed into another, larger, envelope, sealed and mailed to the municipal clerk. The ballot must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

RETURN

• The absentee elector must return the hard copy of the ballot and the completed certificate to the municipal clerk in time so that the clerk can deliver the ballot to the polling place before the close of the polls.

• The elector may choose overnight delivery to assure that their ballot arrives on time. The municipal clerk is not responsible for return postage of a faxed or e-mailed absentee ballot.

• The USPS recommends that ballots be mailed at least one week prior to the date of the Election to arrive on time. If the ballot is returned from overseas, the ballot should be mailed earlier.

DOCUMENTATION

• The municipal clerk records the date absentee ballots are faxed or e-mailed to voters in WisVote or forwards the information to their WisVote Provider.

• When absentee ballots are returned to the clerk’s office, the municipal clerk or their WisVote Provider records the information in WisVote. The clerk ensures the certificate is attached to the envelope holding the ballot. If the certificate is not attached, the clerk uses tape or glue to affix the certificate to the envelope. If the voter did not seal the ballot in an envelope as directed, the clerk encloses the ballot in a certificate envelope and affixes the completed certificate. The clerk delivers the ballot to the appropriate polling place in a carrier envelope.

• At the polling place, the election inspectors follow the procedures for processing absentee ballots. The ballot may be remade by 2 election inspectors so the ballot is accepted by electronic tabulating equipment.

Processing the Request In the Voter Record: Search for the voter:

Scroll to Absentee Applications

See if Photo ID is on file (if not and photo ID was provided check the box) proceed to the + sign

Click on the + sign

The wait time to vote is approximately 2-3 hours at West High School.

I understand the Mayor declined national guard help. Can we get some additional assistance from the National Guard to help move the lines along and direct parties. Perhaps the Community service interns?

From: David Schonke Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2020 7:45 PM To: District Five Subject: Election

Dear Mr. Stevens

This election was a disaster in Green Bay. While there is a lot that went wrong, the major culprit was our mayor. I believe that he wasn't just incompetent but there is strong circumstantial evidence that he sabotaged the election with malicious intent.

He did not use the National Guard as many of the other cities did. He decided to limit the polling places to two. My wife and I never received our absentee ballots even though they were ordered in plenty of time.

According to My Voter, our request didn't get to the city clerk's office until April 3rd or 4th which still allowed several days to send us our ballots. I have no idea why the city clerk's office couldn't get them to us in time. As far as I'm concerned, the buck stops with the mayor.

We are octogenarians and simply couldn't take a chance of being exposed to the virus. We have voted in every election since John F. Kennedy until this one.

Please do what you can to remove the mayor. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.

This is what I would put for the emergency declaration language pertaining to sick leave/layoffs.

I think April 17 will give all of us enough time to determine who has enough work moving forward and also how to handle all the legal implications and health insurance issues with layoffs.

We’re finishing up the new FMLA regulation policy with law this morning and then I’m also hoping to hear back from the Unions on implementing their leave benefit.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

BROWN COUNTY, WI— Brown County Public Health, De Pere Health Department and Oneida Nation Health Department announced today that we have two more confirmed cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Brown County. This brings the total number of confirmed cases in Brown County to six.

Our health departments are actively monitoring the progression of this outbreak in Brown County.

Public Health urges the community to continue to practice social distancing and stay at home. We are continuing to work closely with Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to track this situation and take the necessary steps to keep our communities safe and well.

Together we can make a difference in the fight against COVID-19.

• Comply with the Governor’s Safer at Home Order • Stay home if you can and especially if you are sick • Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly • Practice social distancing. Please keep six feet between people and avoid direct physical contact.

This is a rapidly evolving situation. For the latest information, visit the CDC’s website or the DHS website.

Joe and Diana, I would like to make a late communication for the upcoming personnel meeting. Please read over my request as I am looking for your input as to whether it should be split into two parts to be dealt with easier as I believe part of it might have to go into closed session. request to review protocols for Police Dept. as it relates to Covid-19. After our City declared a state of emergency on March 17th, and before March 29th, what PPE supplies were available (amounts) and specifically what were protocols for officers for PPE while on calls. Protocols for decontamination of squads after each call, after each prisoner transport, at end of shit. Protocols for officers after each call, prisoner transport, and end of shift. After it was found out that an officer was infected on April 4th, what are the levels of PPE for officers and have any of our protocols changed. I would also like to know as many details about how the officer was infected and how it is being handled by the City and Brown County Emergency management.

I am not sure if the last part of my communication would have to be in closed session or not if not giving out the officers name.

I have included Chiefs Smith and Litton in this email so they have as much time as possible to research answers to some of my questions.

Word on the street is that voting will be open tomorrow at Transit.

How does this look/sound? Want me to craft up some type of message for in-person absentee voting hours? Is Kris Teske doing that? What’s the communication plan for this?

Hey!

I was in a webinar at home.

This looks great. I don’t think we should put out any more information than this, right now. It seems that we may move EIPAV to the transit center, so that there will be glass and also because there are no buses right now.

But I’m not sure.

Stay tuned!

Do we know if we will be doing in-person absentee voting at all at City Hall since we are closed to the public? If not, I can switch out the Facebook banner to say this:

As of right now, I feel Facebook is an effective way to communicate with people since so many are at home, bored, and probably on social media.

FYI - This morning, I’ve already posted info about registering to vote (deadline is today) and also the instruction video on how to request a ballot (from COVO people).

Alders –

As you know, pursuant to sections 323.11 and 323.14 (4) of the Wisconsin Statutes, I declared a local State of Emergency for the City of Green Bay on March 16, 2020 for the purpose of making the City’s resources available to adopt, implement, and support all actions and recommendations of Federal, State, and County public health agencies. This included limiting access to public facilities and making operations available on-line and/or available for external drop off to the City, and taking any other actions reasonable and necessary to prevent exposure to and/or spread of COVID-19, including complying with all federal, state, and county laws, rules, and/or orders as they may issue. Based on this authority and with the safety of our employees and the public as my highest priority, I am making the decision to close city hall for public business, effective at 4:30 today, Tuesday, March 17. Many city services will be maintained, including all essential duties, but we will be suspending public use of the building and moving as much work as possible off-site.

Thanks for acting calmly and responsibly during this difficult and uncertain time. Stay safe and well, and let me know if you need anything.

Alders -

I’m reaching out to inform you of actions the city has taken to prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic. Most importantly, the city and county have activated the Emergency Operations Center at a Level 4 for the purposes of monitoring the situation and in order to formally submit a request for personal protective equipment for our first responders, which is in short supply all around the state and country. As there are no confirmed cases in Brown County, this is a precautionary measure, however, we are prepared for an activated escalation in the future. All city departments will be tracking expenses related to the COVID-19 response for purposes of potential reimbursement.

Additionally, we are considering the possibility of declaring a city emergency in order to allow us to more rapidly respond to equipment needs, such as that personal protective gear noted above, and other items like cleaning supplies or technological devices necessary to enable remote work. We will keep you informed of these discussions and need for Council action.

With regard to internal city operations, Human Resources Director Joe Faulds has led the effort to develop a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in short order (special thanks to Alder Dorff for prompting this work). Obviously, the Common Council will need to provide guidance and input before full implementation, but there are some employment practices that could be altered to accommodate the demands of employee and community health and operational integrity. We have also taken the step of suspending all in-person meetings or gatherings among city staff and in city government in the coming week, including any meetings of committees or commissions.

Finally, I want you to know that I have been in consistent contact with our senior staff through the weekend. I also participated in a meeting on Friday with Chief Litton, our private health system leaders, our Brown County Public Health partners, Superintendent Langenfeld, and County Executive Streckenbach. During the meeting we talked very frankly about the capacity of our health systems and the urgent need to do whatever we can to minimize the potential impact on our ICUs and ventilators. We will be holding a press conference on Monday to address this topic and others related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As you all know, things are changing very rapidly. If you have questions feel free to contact me by email or cell (920-403-0545).

Thanks,

Eric

Statement from Mayors Dean R. Kaufert, Eric Genrich, Timothy M. Hanna

Continued In-Person Absentee Voting - Health Risks

1). Instead of following the lead of virtually all other business and non-essential service providers, municipalities are being forced to keep their buildings open to the public for no reason other than in- person absentee voting.

2). Crowds and long lines are already being created and will continue as long as people are told the election is still on for April 7.

3). Continued in-person absentee voting is unnecessarily exposing Municipal Clerk's, Deputy Clerk's and other election workers to the virus, potentially putting their availability to ultimately conduct the April 7 election in jeopardy.

4). Finding an alternative way to conduct this election would allow municipalities to shut down the in- person absentee voting for now and provide time to shift to predominantly ballots by mail.

Election Day - Health Risks

1). Masses of people will be jammed into schools, church basements and other small venues, potentially for lengthy periods of time.

2). As of now, the vast majority of poll workers are older Americans, the very citizens who are most at risk.

3). When they vote, people will be forced to continually touch common surfaces such as paper ballots, stylists, touch screens, registration tables, voting booth surfaces, voting machines, etc. as well as doors, door knobs and walls. And as of now, it is very likely that the massive amounts of hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray and wipes, etc. needed to even try to mitigate the spread of the virus will not available.

Credibility of Election Results

Poll Workers

1). If, as what happened in Florida recently, many poll workers concerned for their health choose not to report for duty, long lines, confusion and chaos could ensue. This could ultimately create doubt about the validity of the voting results.

Voter Suppression

1) If the election is held, voters (especially the elderly) will be forced to choose between voting and risking their own health and wellness. And those in assisted living and other elderly housing are currently in lock down, leaving them no chance to vote on Election Day even if they wanted to. This will all have the effect of potentially disenfranchising tens of thousands of Wisconsin voters, creating undeniable voter suppression on an unprecedented scale.

In this environment, continuing to plan to conduct this election on April 7 in the current manner is not only irresponsible, it is INDEFENSIBLE.

We urge Governor Evers and the Legislature to find an alternative method preferably by mail.

* Either this is the most serious health crisis in the country for the last 100 years or it is not.

* Despite the dire warnings about this virus, is it really going to be business as usual for this?

If the decision is made to not find another way to hold the Spring Elections, and it is determined that this election creates a spike in the spread of COVID-19 cases and deaths, the people who made that decision will and should be held personally responsible.

We urge Governor Evers and the Legislature to find an alternative method preferably by mail.

• The irony of this is when I found out on Tuesday that all the STATE ELECTION BOARD STAFF is working from home.

* While voting is an essential part of society, holding this primary election in the middle of an unprecedented national health emergency involving a highly contagious disease is not essential in any way. The national election is still almost 8 months away. And any decisions on state or local issues on the ballot can certainly be delayed or an alternative method found.

* And by having face to face elections on April 7, those of us who represent state and local government are not setting the best example to the citizens as to the seriousness of this issue. Instead the message being sent is that all of society needs to sacrifice and adjust and be inconvenienced except government and the politicians. Such contradictory messages cause people to lose faith in their state and local leaders, and will deteriorate the willingness for citizens to voluntary adhere to the very strict but necessary measures all citizens are being asked to undertake.

State, Local, and Tribal Leaders –

Thank you for joining the White House COVID-19 briefing call with Dr. Anthony Fauci (Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), Larry Kudlow (Assistant to the President for Economic Policy), and Senior Administration Officials from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (USDT)y, White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), White House Office of American Innovation (OAI), U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), U.S. Department of Labor, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We appreciate your partnership in this whole- of-government, all-of-America approach to #StopTheSpread and #BendTheCurve of COVID-19 and recognize the important role you have in keeping Americans safe and healthy. Below, please find a recap of the call as well important resources and guidance for State-Local-Tribal officials. We hope that you will share the updated Coronavirus Guidelines for America broadly on social media and directly with your colleagues.

COVID-19: Important Resources for State, Local, and Tribal Officials

· Coronavirus Guidelines for America: On Monday, March 16, the White House Coronavirus Task Force issued guidelines to help protect Americans during the global coronavirus outbreak. To keep the momentum going to #StopTheSpread and #BendtheCurve, on Tuesday, March 31, the White House Coronavirus Task Force issued revised guidelines – 30 Days to Slow the Spread (Español) – for an additional 30 days. Even if you are young and otherwise healthy, you are at risk, and your activities can increase the risk of contracting the Coronavirus for others. Everyone can do their part. The recommendations are simple to follow but will have a resounding impact on public health. · Up-To-Date Information: The most up-to-date, verified information and guidance can be found via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Coronavirus Disease 2019 website – www.coronavirus.gov. The Coronavirus Task Force holds frequent briefings, which can be viewed live here. · COVID-19 Response and Recovery Primer: Response and recovery efforts are locally executed, state managed, and federally supported. It is important that requests for assistance, including for critical supplies, get routed through the proper channels as soon as possible. Learn more about the response and recovery process via this important resource – Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: Response and Recovery Through Federal-State-Local-Tribal Partnership. FEMA’s public assistance guidance for COVID-19 response efforts can be found here. Guidance for Tribal Governments can be found here. · Critical Infrastructure Workforce Guidelines: On March 16th, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued updated critical infrastructure guidance in response to the COVID-19 emergency. DHS issued revised guidance on March 28th (see Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response). The guidance, and accompanying list, is intended to help State, local, tribal and territorial officials as they work to protect their communities, while ensuring continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security. The list is advisory in nature and is not a federal directive or standard. · Coronavirus Fact vs. Myth: Rumors can easily circulate within communities during a crisis. FEMA setup a website to help the public distinguish between rumors and facts regarding the response to the coronavirus pandemic. · Fraud & Scam Protection: The Department of Justice is remaining vigilant in detecting, investigating, and prosecuting wrongdoing related to the crisis. Find out how you can protect yourself and helpful resources on DOJ’s Coronavirus Fraud Prevention website. The Federal Trade Commission has also established a website with helpful information to help consumers avoid coronavirus-related scams. · Social Media Resources: Download the Apple COVID-19 Screening Tool. Follow the White House on Twitter and Facebook. Also follow HHS (Twitter/Facebook) and CDC (Twitter/Facebook) You can also find informational videos from Coronavirus Task Force members on mitigation, social distancing, etc. on the White House’s YouTube page. · Mental Health Resources: Natural disasters – including such pandemics as the coronavirus outbreak – can be overwhelming and also can seriously affect emotional health. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA) Disaster Distress Helpline – 1-800-985-5990 (or text TalkWithUs to 66746) – provides 24/7, 365-day-a-year crisis counseling and support to anyone who is seeking help in coping with the mental or emotional effects caused by developments related to the coronavirus pandemic. Learn more about the Disaster Distress Helpline here. · Administration Actions and Federal Agency Resources: USA.gov is cataloging all U.S. government activities related to coronavirus. From actions on health and safety to travel, immigration, and transportation to education, find pertinent actions here. Each Federal Agency has also established a dedicated coronavirus website, where you can find important information and guidance. They include: Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Education (DoED), Department of Agriculture (USDA), Small Business Administration (SBA), Department of Labor (DOL), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of State (DOS), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of the Treasury (USDT), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).

The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (WH IGA) will continue to share pertinent information as it becomes available. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office directly if we can be of assistance. As a reminder, WH IGA is the primary liaison between the White House and the country’s State and local elected officials and Tribal Governments.

White House COVID-19 National Briefing Call Readout April 1, 2020

Coronavirus). · The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued an unprecedented array of temporary regulatory waivers and new rules to equip the American healthcare system with maximum flexibility to respond to COVID-19. Made possible by President Trump’s recent emergency declaration and emergency rule making, these temporary changes will apply immediately across the entire U.S. healthcare system for the duration of the emergency declaration. More information here. · On Sunday, March 29, Vice President Mike Pence wrote a letter to America’s hospital administrators thanking them for their tireless efforts to provide healthcare to Americans during this unprecedented pandemic and outlined the Administration request that hospitals provide information on daily testing, daily counts of patients, availability of hospital beds, and availability mechanical ventilators.

COVID-19 Update and Overview - Dr. Anthony Fauci (Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)

· On Tuesday, March 31, the White House Coronavirus Task Force issued revised guidelines – 30 Days to Slow the Spread (Español)– for an additional 30 days. Even if you are young and otherwise healthy, you are at risk, and your activities can increase the risk of contracting the Coronavirus for others. Everyone can do their part. The recommendations are simple to follow but will have a resounding impact on public health. · States, Tribes, and localities must continue to do their part to implement the guidelines and proper mitigation efforts. · Over the next two weeks, we need to be prepared for things to get worse before they get better. There are early indications that mitigation efforts are making a difference, so now is the right time to double-down and not let up to keep bending the curve down. · Models are based on assumptions. We can “anticipate” but “do not need to accept” the forecasting of these models. Everyone needs to do their part and intensively adhere to the guidelines. · We must continue to take proper precautions even after the number of new cases begins to stabilize and the curve begins to move in the right direction. · “We are an extraordinary nation…[and response] will require the American people to pull together.”

Economic Update and Overview - Larry Kudlow (Assistant to the President for Economic Policy & Director, National Economic Council)

· The first priority of the President and Administration is the health and safety of the American people. The economy returning back to normal depends on how quickly the country can flatten the curve. · Key components of fiscal relief are unemployment insurance, unpaid leave support, and small business payroll retention. · The CARES Act provides American families, healthcare workers, and small businesses with the economic support they need to get through this challenging time (See White House Fact Sheet; See Op-Ed from Ivanka Trump – Emergency Relief Bill Will Help America’s Small Businesses). The $2.2 trillion economic relief package includes: · $1,200 tax free payments (treated as refundable tax credits) to Americans; · $150 billion in direct aid to State, Tribal, and local governments; · $340 billion in additional emergency supplemental funding to combat the coronavirus outbreak. · $500 billion for loans and guarantees that authorize the U.S. Treasury to support eligible businesses and States and local governments to cover losses incurred as a result of COVID-19; · $100 billion for hospitals and health care facilities to reimburse expenses or lost revenues not otherwise reimbursed that are directly attributable to COVID-19; · $3.5 billion to allow States to expand childcare benefits for healthcare workers, first responders, and others on the frontlines of this crisis. · “When we get to the other side, the economy will resume its upward course.”

CARES Act Implementation - State, Local, and Tribal Government Assistance

· The U.S. Department of the Treasury has setup a website with up-to-date guidance on CARES Act implementation. · States, territories, eligible units of local government, and Tribal governments will receive funds from the Coronavirus Relief Fund. Treasury expects that the $150 billion provided to the Fund will be distributed no later than April 24. · Distributions will generally be based on population, with a floor of $1.25 billion for the 50 states. Population data will be drawn from the latest vintage of the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program. · Treasury is developing a website portal for units of local government to apply for direct funding equal to 45% of its pro rata share of the state’s allocation. Guidance will be provided regarding what jurisdictions are eligible. · Funds distributed are an advance against eligible COVID-19 expenditures above budgeted amounts. Guidance on eligible expenditures is expected to be provided in the coming weeks; Treasury understands that recipients of funds need this guidance before disbursements are made. · Treasury sees no prohibition on states providing funds to sub- grantees, but the use of funds by sub-grantees must meet statutory use provisions · Treasury is partnering with the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior in conducting Tribal Consultations. The first Consultation will be held on Thursday, April 2. · Treasury welcomes the partnership with state and local leaders in the implementation of this fund.

Individual, Small Business and Unemployment Assistance Update

· The Internal Revenue Service has setup a website with up-to- date guidance to help taxpayers, businesses and others affected by the coronavirus. · Distribution of economic impact payments to individuals will begin in the next three weeks and will be distributed automatically, with no action required for most people. Social security recipients, who are not typically required to file a tax return, will automatically receive economic impact payments. For guidance, see Economic Impact Payments: What You Need To Know). · The Small Business Administration is offering low interest federal disaster loans for working capital to small businesses and private, non-profit organizations all U.S. States and territories. Learn more here. · The CARES Act’s Paycheck Protection Program authorizes up to $349 billion for small businesses to be applies towards job retention and certain other expenses. Small businesses and eligible non-profit organizations, Veterans organizations, and Tribal businesses described in the Small Business Act, as well as individuals who are self- employed or are independent contractors, are eligible if they also meet program size standards. · For a top-line overview of the program: Click Here · If you are a lender: Click Here · If you are a borrower: Click Here · For the application for borrowers: Click Here · March 28, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published more guidance to provide information to employees and employers about how each will be able to take advantage of the protections and relief offered by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) when it goes into effect on April 1, 2020. More information here. · The Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act (FFCRA), signed by President Trump on March 18, 2020 authorizes the U.S. Department of Labor to disburse $1 billion in grant funding to states for the administration of unemployment insurance programs. The funding is available to states in two allocations. 23 states have applied for the first round of funding, and DOL is working with the Department of Treasury to certify the funds. · Each state administers a separate unemployment insurance program, but all states follow the same guidelines established by federal law. For more information regarding rules in your state, contact with your state’s unemployment insurance program. · The FFCRA also authorized emergency paid sick leave and an expansion of the Family and Medical Leave Act. On April 1, 2020, DOL issued a temporary rule codifying in regulation previously issued guidance regarding the implementation of the new leave benefits. · The CARES Act, in part, creates the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program which provides unemployment compensation benefits for employees traditionally not eligible for these programs (self-employed, independent contractors, and those with limited work history). DOL anticipates additional guidance on the implementation of the CARES Act in the near future. · On March 18, DOL announced availability of up to $100 Million in National Health Emergency Dislocated Worker Grants (DWGs) in response to COVID-19. The DWGs are intended to provide eligible participants with both disaster-relief employment and employment training services. These participants can include dislocated workers, workers who were laid-off as a result of the disaster, self-employed individuals who are unemployed or underemployed as a result of the disaster, and long-term unemployed individuals. Learn more here.

Critical Infrastructure Workforce Guidance Update

· Functioning critical infrastructure is imperative during the response to the COVID-19 emergency for both public health and safety as well as community well-being. Certain critical infrastructure industries have a special responsibility in these times to continue operations. On Saturday, March 28, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) – released updated guidance on the essential critical infrastructure workforce (see Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During COVID-19 Response). The list and guidance were initially published on March 16th in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. · The guidance and accompanying list are intended to support State, Local, and industry partners in identifying the critical infrastructure sectors and the essential workers needed to maintain the services and functions Americans depend on daily and need to be able to operate resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response. Notable additions to the guidance/list from the March 16 release include: · Clarification that mining and related critical mineral activity is essential; · Clarification that construction activity necessary for infrastructure resilience is essential; · Clarification on essential retail activity, particularly as it relates to distribution centers necessary for ecommerce and customer service activity for telecommunications vendors; · Clearer recognition of the cross-sector importance of hygiene products and sanitation services; · Enhanced detail on enabling functions for critical infrastructure, to include the commodity, services, and logistics supply chains; and · The addition of firearm and ammunition manufacturing and distribution as essential · State, local, tribal, and territorial governments are responsible for implementing and executing response activities, including decisions about access and reentry, in their communities, while the Federal Government is in a supporting role. Officials should use their own judgment in issuing implementation directives and guidance.

From: Karen Metzler Date: March 17, 2020 at 10:04:34 AM CDT To: District Two Subject: Ideas during COVD19

Hi Veronica,

We have met a couple of times. I used to be on the board of the McAuliffe Park neighborhood association for many years. I am currently on Superior, moving from W. Twin Pines this fall.

I understand there is a meeting tonight.

Anyway, I have been following this outbreak closely. I work in science and I think have a solid understanding of immunology, more than the average person (at least I hope so since I've had graduate level classes in the subject!). I am a genetic counselor and have many friends in the health field, including many friends who are physicians. My kids' dad is a physician (we recently divorced).

I think we are at a point where we need grass roots effort to start creating more spaces for medical care. I understand the city doesn't have a health department. I understand people are concerned about jobs and income. I understand some people should not be leaving their home and might have immunocompromised people they live with. I think things at the federal level are moving too slow. I feel helpless. I am doing my part by keeping my kids and I isolated. My kids' dad hasn't seen our kids since March 6th, and our current plan is he won't see them for at least another week. (He is very involved with this plan and decision making and also wants to protect the community and our kids' as much as possible). We are waiting to learn more about what this will look like in our community. We know my kids and I will likely have a more mild case if we contract it. However, we plan to isolate to protect others and possibly ourselves if any of us did need medical care.

As I'm sure you know, there is a shortage of medical supplies and facilities. I wondered if the city has considered partnering with private corporations to discuss helping as quickly and proactively as possible. This is not my space and I am not a business person, but here are some thoughts I have:

hospitals work together to create a birth center for low and normal risk pregnancy births, to keep maternity out of the hospitals as much as possible, and possibly create more room in hospitals. if GB city employees won't be working or things are closed, use our tax payer dollars to keep paying them but reassign duties, such as retrofitting buildlings for hospital beds (only for employees willing to do this and be out in public who don't have immunocompromised family at home). Find out what, if anything, the city can do to help the shortage of hospital equipment. I imagine our city would be best able to help with paper type products, masks, personal protective equipment. Can we work with the local factories to get machines built to create more of these? If factory employees become ill, can city employees step in (that are willing, able and won't be spreading to an immunosuppressed individual?).

Would any city employees be willing to quantine for 14 days and then everyone who remains symptom free moves into a dormitory and that is the only force that is used to build new buildings? This is all hard, but when people go to work and come home and expose their family members and then go back to work the next day, we are not stopping spread.

I don't know, but I think we are too late to do much of this. If we had started retrofitting buildings (thinking Shopko on East Mason) a couple weeks ago before we had virus in our area, then we would be way ahead, but people didn't understand the gravity of t his. In fact, I didn't understand the gravity of it until late Tuesday night (a week ago). IT was that day that I first understood the shortage of medical equipment in our country and how devastating this would be. I've been advocating to flatten the curve.

I'm wondering if GB can be a leader among small cities and work on this together. I am hopeful that the three hospital systems have been invited to the table today as well as philanthropists in our community (or at least have them conference call in or be there to listen). I'm hopeful the city can help coordinate communication between healthcare and manufacturing to identify any needs the community can help with. Hopefully, with all of this, we can somehow have the city support our small businesses, but having small businesses help out in some way. I also wonder what the medical nonprofits are doing in all of this. I know HSHS has a Foundation. It certainly sounds like Bellin and HSHS are working together in that they had a united statement on some things last week.

I know this is all crazy ideas and I just wanted to say, as a citizen, I would support any sort of collaborative effort he resources of the city can use to help structure more preparedness ASAP. Hopefully there are things in motion I don't know about as an average citizen. If so, I would encourage the city to support anything and everything to help.

My mom mentioned one city she read about is using city bus to drop off food at bus stops for people in need. That seems like a good idea as well.

I assume the city has connections to the medical field/physicians to make sure they are involved tonight. If not, I would suggest contacting the medical school ASAP, and they might be able to recommend someone. I can prob get you some contact information, as I do know a med student.

Feel free to share any of my crazy ideas at any meetings. I am hopeful, that industry in our community is way ahead of me and all of these things are being done.

Good Luck and thank you for your service to our community.

Mayor,

Yes, pending requests are (a/o this am) over 7000. When you say, "I don't know that we need to get into the poll location question at all" are you referring to my answer that " We have heard from a number of polling locations that they will not be available on election day"?

I will include the pending requests.

Joe,

Both of these documents contain the proper date for vanya’s term, which is 5/1/20. He was replacing Justin Mallet, whose term ends then. It was incorrect in the council agenda, but the letters and the rules (replacement for the remainder of the term) control.

Do you want me to send this to Alder Wery?

Ald. Wery,

I hope you are well and not getting too stir crazy being indoors.

I wanted to touch base in regards to the communication about PFC Commissioner Vanya Koepke’s term. The law department is making a determination as to whether this can be put on the PFC agenda. My assumption is with all of the COVID-19 matters going on, that the law department hasn’t been able to provide that opinion yet.

Would you like the Mayor’s office or law department to get you the information on Vanya Koepke’s appointment and term? I’m sure that would be quicker than having it go to the PFC or Common Council.

Thank you,

I just talked to Keith. I said two smaller windows are okay but he said one side would have to sit on the table. I asked if that would be sturdy and he said they could make it sturdy. I like this idea because I want the workers to be able to see and not feel closed in by wood on the top and wood on the bottom.

Mayor,

Our Park Carpenters cannot find 4x8 sheet of plastic in stock anywhere. They will continue to look. Keith will also contact Kris to see if there is an alternate way of constructing something similar using smaller sheets. We are thinking we could do 2-3 smaller windows per table instead of 1 large window.

I am sure we will figure something out and have it ready for the election..

Hi Dan -

I apologize for the timing and urgency of this request, but that's where we are these days.

I was hoping you could take a look at the attached picture and see if our park shop carpenters would be able to construct 12 of these cough guards in time for the April 7 election.

Let me know if you need the Parks Department to follow up with County Public Health. If not we will wait to hear back from someone before we start making them. Keep in mind that it will take some time to fabricate 12 of them so the sooner we have a response the better.

Many of our city council members are over 60 years old and are in the vulnerable population. I hope none of you feels at all pressured to attend in person. Also those of you who have family members with serious underlying conditions or who are over 60 may be putting them at risk. Again I hope you do not feel pressured to go in person.

Mayor,

I was just going to email you on this topic!

We have in attendance: you, me, Kris, Kim, Vanessa (or Joanne), Mike, Chief Litton, Joe. That’s already 8 people. I don’t have to attend, I can listen in my office (unless I’m taking Kim’s place, which is a possibility). So that’s 7. If all of the alders come, we’ll be at 19.

I can spread out alders, which I will do this am.

Doing a little yoga and I should be in by 8:15/8:30.

I am sure that you have seen the John Hopkins dashboard that has been tracking Covid 19 since early January, this is the same company that assisted in putting this together.

My hope is that this will be active for the public tonight or very early tomorrow morning. We placed your Twitter feed along with County Executive Streckenbach’s at the top of the page so you can push your message out to the public. We can place a link to the city website as well as our Facebook Page. We also included in the Twitter feeds Governor Evers, Brown County Public Health, WI department of Health services and the CDC

Could you please pass along to EX Streckenbach what we are in the process of launching. I will let you know when the site is public.

Mayor Genrich,

I think it would be the best approach to have our personnel policy outlining the federal sick leave regulations go to the committee of the whole on Wednesday to be approved by the common council and to amend our Emergency Declaration accordingly. The new Act goes into effect April 1.

I could have the policy done (it’s about 95% done) tomorrow, but the informational items for our employees and staff won’t be done until early next week. I can also amend the Declaration policy as well.

It might also be an opportunity to extend our Emergency Declaration to coincide with the state order.

Let me know if you would like to go forward with this process. I can have everything sent to you tomorrow for your review and to ask any questions. We could then amend the agenda Monday.

Thank you,

Mayor Genrich,

It might also be an opportunity to extend our Emergency Declaration to coincide with the state order.

Let me know if you would like to go forward with this process. I can have everything sent to you tomorrow for your review and to ask any questions. We could then amend the agenda Monday.

Thank you,

Why doesn’t Chris have to be concerned about that? Why can he spew his lies and not be called out? I did not ask for a vote on anything and I appreciate what you said. We should not be replying all but I am getting sick of standing by while he tells lies. I have rarely been this angry!

Again thank you for caring about me.

Chris you are not correct in your assertion that the state of emergency does not occur until we ratify it. Please refer to state law. We are in a state of emergency. Our mayor has full authority to declare this. We might or might not approve a resolution but that does not change the fact that he has the authority to declare a state of emergency without us. Please do not email false information to the alders. You can certainly email your opinion but it is irresponsible to present your opinion as fact.

You seem to have forgotten to include some major stakeholders in your missive. I corrected that oversight.

Alders –

Based on this authority and with the safety of our employees and the public as my highest priority, I am making the decision to close city hall for public business, effective at 4:30 today, Tuesday, March 17. Many city services will be maintained, including all essential duties, but we will be suspending public use of the building and moving as much work as possible off-site.

Thanks for acting calmly and responsibly during this difficult and uncertain time. Stay safe and well, and let me know if you need anything.

Hope you’re well, Alders.

Update on in-person absentee voting: We are planning to make Metro Transit available for this purpose M-F from 10-2. Voting will take place in the public area on the West side of the building. Clerk staff will be behind glass, and we will be encouraging folks to bring their own pens (but will have our own if necessary). Capacity will be limited to 4 people in the waiting area at one time. Please don’t notify any constituents just yet, however. Clerk staff are still setting up, so the news will go out when they’re ready.

Please continue to encourage folks to vote by mail. These are limited hours and the space is limited, too.

Take care of yourselves, and thanks again for everything you do.

Alders – As you know, pursuant to sections 323.11 and 323.14 (4) of the Wisconsin Statutes, I declared a local State of Emergency for the City of Green Bay on March 16, 2020 for the purpose of making the City’s resources available to adopt, implement, and support all actions and recommendations of Federal, State, and County public health agencies. This included limiting access to public facilities and making operations available on-line and/or available for external drop off to the City, and taking any other actions reasonable and necessary to prevent exposure to and/or spread of COVID-19, including complying with all federal, state, and county laws, rules, and/or orders as they may issue.

I’m reaching out to inform you of actions the city has taken to prepare for the COVID- 19 pandemic. Most importantly, the city and county have activated the Emergency Operations Center at a Level 4 for the purposes of monitoring the situation and in order to formally submit a request for personal protective equipment for our first responders, which is in short supply all around the state and country. As there are no confirmed cases in Brown County, this is a precautionary measure, however, we are prepared for an activated escalation in the future. All city departments will be tracking expenses related to the COVID-19 response for purposes of potential reimbursement.

Paul/Kevin

We need to notify the comminuty that we had a positive test. I wrote the news release below... i think it avoids any HIPPA issues. Let me know what you think.

Green Bay police officer tests positive for COVID-19

The Green Bay Police Department was notified late Saturday April 4th that one of our patrol officers had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The affected officer has not been at work since March 30th. The officer is currently recovering at (?home or hospital?)

The Brown County Health Department is conducting a virus trace investigation to determine if anyone who had contact with the officer would warrant further testing. If that is determined, those individuals will be notified immediately.

" The entire Police Department was devastated to hear that one of our colleagues was found to have COVID-19 virus. All of our Green Bay Police Department members are supporting him and praying for him and his family," said Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith. "I am so proud that the men and women of the Green Bay Police Department continue to work courageously to protect and serve our community during these difficult and dangerous times."

Hi Jered,

I sent one from the National Guard to West High School.

Curbside voting is taking place but they have to bring a person along so they can stand in line for them. Then when they are up the poll workers will go out to have them curbside vote. Not everyone can curbside vote: If you cannot enter the polling place or absentee voting location due to disability, curbside voting is available.

I am told the lines are about 3 hours long.

We have received complaints about curbside voting. Is there any curbside voting that is occurring? If so how do people go about requesting it?

Also, did any national guard members ever show up to actually help us at our polling locations?

Yes, I spoke to Chad Ramos, AJ Walker, Tracey Liska and Lt. Mahoney. They understand what needs to be done and that police officers shouldn’t be effectuating the curbside vote. People are confused that curbside isn’t the same as drive-thru.

As far as submitting a declaration, I don’t have exact numbers and some could be double, triple, etc. I giving it my best guess.

Vanessa what do you suggest?

The first is a little easier to say yes to, but I defer to Kris on whether she is comfortable submitting a declaration.

Vanessa and Lindsay,

I hope you’re both doing well.

I am one of the attorneys representing the DNC and the Wisconsin Democratic Party in the litigation concerning the April 7, 2020 Spring Election that was filed in the Western District of Wisconsin and heard by Judge Conley. I am contacting you because the RNC and the Wisconsin Republican Party have filed an application to stay Judge Conley’s decision before the U.S. Supreme Court. We will be opposing that application and, in support of our brief, I was hoping that we could submit a declaration from your client providing the Court with facts concerning the current situation on the ground with respect to in-person and absentee voting.

I do not have a deadline for when our opposition it due yet, but I anticipate that it will be an extremely short turnaround (24 hours or less). If your client is willing to submit a declaration, it would be helpful to speak with you and/or your client as soon as possible. Please let me know when you have a moment --- also, while I will be on email, because of the time sensitive nature of this filing, if you could call my cell phone I would appreciate it:

Best,

Amanda Callais | Perkins Coie LLP Counsel 700 Thirteenth Street, N.W. Suite 600 Washington, DC 20005-3960 D. +1.202.654.6396 F. +1.202.654.9995 E. [email protected]

Good morning Joanne,

Does everyone feel better zooming our meeting Monday or meeting in chambers and spreading out? We should be under 10 person limit, so whatever everyone is comfortable with is fine by me.

With the state of emergency cancelling events and shutting down bars and restaurants, I don't know that we need to meet on any of these items at this time or that we are set up for Zooming committee meetings yet. Unless someone thinks differently, let's cancel.

Draft Plan: Make it Easier for Green Bay and Wisconsinites to Vote We will make voting easier, simpler and more accessible in every neighborhood, for every voter. Cybersecurity Plan to protect Elections The City will bring all of its expertise and technology to the task of protecting the integrity of our elections, rolling out a series of enhanced cyber security measures. Voter Enfranchisement Initiative Green Bay will have a leader in our government dedicated to one thing: Giving every citizen a voice. The Democracy Fellow will work to register people to vote over the next two years and do all he or she can to increase voter participation. Get Every Young Person Ready to Vote We want every Green Bay person that is eligible to be able to vote the minute they are legally able to. That means registering as many eligible 17-year old as we can. We will roll out a comprehensive set of voter registration drives aimed at high school and college students. When it comes to democracy, there isn’t a minute to lose. Civics for All: Civics Education for all Students and Adult Learners Our local schools and universities will be dedicated to giving our students the tools they need to be active, productive participants not just in our economy, but in our democracy.

Green Bay Voter Access Agenda The time has come for us to lead. We will work with the State Capital to implement and support voting laws into the 21st century with early voting, same day voter registration, no-excuse absentee ballots, electronic poll books, pre- registration for 16- and 17-year olds, and the consolidation of primary elections. Get Counted: Comprehensive Citywide Census Outreach In Green Bay we will adhere to the simple, clear, constitutional value that every single resident must be counted. The 2020 Census will have a major impact on how money and power are allocated in our national government. We will undertake extensive outreach efforts, made possible through a public-private partnership, to ensure that the people of our city and state receive their fair share.
