Dear Melissa,
Nice to chat with you!
As we discussed, we have the Mayor on the agenda to make introductory remarks. I think that Terry Sorelle has confirmed this on the Mayor's calendar.
Here is the link for the webinar registration. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN yDn0J3nkTXS9OqmWIIGc TA?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=5cc1158c-3ba1-43cf-83f6-765f11d266a2
We are so looking forward to hearing a few words from the Mayor and from a really interesting set of speakers in a few weeks.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for reaching out. Best, Heather

Good morning Heather,
I’m responding to your invite for Mayor Genrich to participate in a webinar for local governments about clean energy on November 17. The Mayor is interesting in attending, although not as a presenter. He has also asked me to attend the webinar. I recently started as the Resiliency Coordinator for the City of Green Bay and I’m learning about the City’s energy-related goals and activities.
Thank you,
Melissa Schmitz

Statement of Interest Sustainability has been a long interest and passion of mine. This passion and interest stemmed as a child and grew into adulthood with me. I received my first degree of Associates and Science in Sustainable Development and have continue to seek out avenues of education in sustainability, as well as areas of application. Being asked to serve on this board is a avenue where I can apply the knowledge and education that I carry to the committee. I look forward to potentially becoming a member of the sustainability committee and working collectively with others who share similar interest. Thank you.

What is your YOU ran off with ballots because of the lack of ink?!!! YOU! My question/concern for the god, you want to talk about an IMMORAL action, this is it. I am Mayor? BEYOND appalled by what should be considered an ILLEGAL action. Unless you had Republicans and police with you every single second you held those votes, it should DEFINITELY be discounted and re-counted. If not, this election will NEVER be accepted and you will have a huge stain on your reputation FOREVER.

What is your Possible fraud in Green Bay. question/concern for the I’ve learned the mayor of Green Bay, Eric Genrich, is having all Mayor? the voting machines moved from the polls to another location to have ballots counted. Per a city employee involved in this process, there is no good reason for it. The mayor has never been involved in the details before, but is apparently all over this one, they have never moved the machines before, and the mayor is saying they need more space to do the counting, which is confusing to the staff because they said they have plenty of space. He has also hired a few additional people unknown to the current staff to oversee this process. To do this, the mayor would have had to submit this 30 days prior to election, and because he didn’t, it has to be approved by Governor Evers... which it was - big shocker. Does this smell funny to anyone else? Not to mention the fact that something unnecessary is going to cost all of us money as taxpayers.  As if this isn’t bad enough I was also made aware that the army reserves 217th of Green Bay was scheduled to help be poll workers as of last week, but that is now cancelled and are now on riot control. None of this feels on the up and up. Should people feel led to
1 call the mayors office and ask questions/complain, here’s the number: 920.448.3005 Maybe if enough people call, it could help put a magnifying glass on him.

What is your I'm very concerned after hearing about the 3rd party "groups" question/concern for the that are contracted for 1.6 million dollars (?) and are having Mayor? anything to do with our election in Green Bay. Whether its actual involvement with vote counting or an overseeing role, it gives an appearance that is suspicious. I've heard who they are funded by and I do not approve. You need to be reminded that you are mayor of ALL of Green Bay not just the Democrats. We are all paying taxes to this city and expect fairness. Bringing in these outside entities is not right and I hope others that disapprove are letting you know.

What is your Hello question/concern for the It appears that in casting our vote for you we made a critical Mayor? error in judgment. To say that we are disappointed in the performance so far for the city of Green Bay would be an understatement. The fact that you clearly support a socialist government is glaringly obvious and I would do anything to take back my vote. I will never make that mistake again in voting for any Democrat. I pray that nothing corrupt happens with Green Bay's ballots and that the truth sets our country free when Donald J Trump is re-elected tomorrow. Sincerely Debbie Draeger

What is your It has been brought to my attention that you are making some question/concern for the changes before the election that are very concerning to a lot of Mayor? us. First, are you having voting machines moved from the polls to another location to have ballots counted? If so, why? And according to the staff, the reason of needing more space is not valid as there is plenty of space. Also, who are the additional people you are bringing in to help that are unknown by the rest of the staff? All of this is obviously sketchy and is being noticed by the people. I, along with many others, would like an explanation for your devious actions.

Mr. Eric Genrich 100 North Jefferson Street Green Bay City Hall Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301
Dear Mayor Genrich:
I recently sent you the following email about the increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin.
------
October 26, 2020
2633 Union Street Madison, Wisconsin 53704
1 Mayor Eric Genrich 100 North Jefferson Street Green Bay City Hall Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301
Dear Mayor Genrich:
I write because I am concerned about the recent surge in the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19.
I urge you and the Milwaukee City Council to work more closely with the public health authorities to get the word out about preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. To prevent the transmission of the virus, individuals should wear a mask each day, practice social distancing, avoid large crowds, and wash their hands frequently.
The citizens of Milwaukee should monitor their health daily, taking their temperature and being alert for the beginning symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, and shortness of breath). People demonstrating these symptoms should get tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection. To help maintain a strong and healthy immune system, people should get enough rest and sleep, avoid stressful situations, and eat a balanced diet.
If a person becomes sick, he should stay at home and keep in close contact with his physician. If he has trouble breathing, he should call 911 and seek immediate medical care. For other symptoms--persistent pain or pressure in the chest, confusion, bluish lips or face—he should seek medical advice and the care of a physician.
Wisconsin has recently set one day records for the number of new cases of COVID-19. People living in larger cities should follow the example set by students in the University of Wisconsin System of schools, who drastically reduced the number of new cases of COVID-19 on their campuses. Those students followed the recommendations that former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson and a coalition of health care groups and businesses made to help end the spread of SARS- CoV-2 (see letter from former Governor Thompson at the end of this letter).
I believe that brighter days are ahead for Wisconsin, because we will likely have a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 by the end of the year. The pharmaceutical companies, Moderna Therapeutics and Pfizer, among others, are working hard to complete the third stage of trial tests for their candidate
2 vaccines. I pray that any vaccine with provide a long-lasting immunity to COVID-19.
But we should try to reduce the number of confirmed COVID- 19 cases by repeatedly reminding our citizens that the pandemic is not over and they should continue to follow the recommendations of the public health authorities to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. As you know, this virus is virulent, highly contagious and it has a remarkable ability to replicate itself once inside the human cell.
I will pray for a rapid end to the COVID-19 pandemic, because I believe ultimately that Christ Jesus is our healer. “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases…” (Psalm 103:2-3).
I wish you, the members of your staff and all the citizens of Milwaukee all the best in the future as we continue to fight this virus.
Sincerely,
Rock Peterson

Letter Tommy Thompson, Interim President of UW System of Schools
Dear Mr. Peterson,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out. I appreciate your comments and share your concerns.
At UW-Madison and all the UW institutions, we have aggressively and consistently communicated to students to be mindful of what we refer to as the three “W”s – wear a mask (which we mandated on campuses before the semester began and will continue to do so); wash your hands; watch your distance. It’s fair to say that message took time to take hold with some students, but after a period in early September when UW-Madison and two other campuses needed to take steps to go online and isolate some dorms for a short time, we have seen tremendous progress in lowering the caseload among UW students.
3 As you note, and as I’ve watched closely myself, the caseload in the rest of the state is discouraging. I was glad to join a coalition of health care groups and businesses on a public campaign to urge masks and social distancing. You can find that public service announcement here.
Again, thank you for writing, and take good care as we all look forward to brighter days ahead.
Best regards,
Tommy
------
Eric, Wisconsin just set a new one day record for the number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases, recording 5,278 cases on October 31, 2020. I would like to help end the spread of SARS- CoV-2.
In recent testimony before a Senate subcommittee, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield (and other public health officials) stated that "face masks are our best defense... in limiting the spread" of SARS-CoV-2. Their testimony is found here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2020/sep/16/face- masks-coronavirus-cdc-robert-redfield
In his testimony, Dr. Redfield specifically stated that if all Americans "would wear a face mask for six, eight, 10, 12 weeks, we would bring this pandemic under control."
If Dr. Redfield's testimony is true, we should urge ALL our citizens to continue to wear a face mask, avoid large crowds of people, practice social distancing, and wash their hands frequently.
About wearing face masks, one online article stated recently:
"Across the United States, mask use has held steady around 50% since late July. This is a substantial increase from the 20% usage seen in March and April, according to data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle (see go.nature.com/30n6kxv)."
From: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8
To me, if only 50% of the American people are wearing a face
4 mask each day, that is not sufficient to put an end to this pandemic. Every person in Green Bay and Wisconsin needs to be consistent about wearing a face mask. People should also take their temperature each day because a fever is one of the first symptoms of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Digital thermometers can be purchased at most Walgreens stores for about $4.00, which most people can afford. The CDC considers a person to have a fever if their temperature is 100.4 Fahrenheit or higher. A person with a temperature higher than 100.4 degrees should be immediately tested for COVID-19.
I also believe it would help if all the American people would find repentance and baptism through faith in Christ Jesus. As I have taught to others, God sends plagues on people because they fail to repent of their sins and glorify Him. At the end of the age, God will send a plague (a bowl of His wrath) on those who reject Christ Jesus and fail to repent of their sins, as recorded in the apocalyptic book of Revelation.
From Revelation:
They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him (Revelation 16:9).
But if we all pray and repent--and genuinely mean it--God will heal our land, according to the scriptures. We have to learn to genuinely love and care for one another though faith in Christ Jesus, His teachings, His finished work on the cross and the power of His resurrection.
From 2 Chronicles:
...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
In the Old Testament, when God saw that the Ninevites were repenting at the preaching of the prophet Jonah, He did not bring on them the destruction that He had threatened. That is true today because God is eternal and unchanging.
From Jonah:
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened. (Jonah 3:10).
5
I encourage and urge you to work with your city council and the public health authorities in Green Bay to emphasize to the general public that the pandemic is not over and that they should continue to wear a face mask each day, avoid large crowds, practice social distancing and frequently wash their hands. We all should pray to God for an end to the pandemic, repent of our sins, and begin to serve Him and Christ Jesus in a loving and and obedient way in our churches and synagogues all over this land.
I wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Rock Peterson

Name of the Event Spring Lake Church Christmas
Description of Event Spring Lake Church hosts multiple services each Christmas Eve to celebrate this critical holiday for our Christian faith. We know that our Christmas services have high attendance. With the current COVID pandemic, Spring Lake is brainstorming alternative ways to serve our congregation, and honor our Christian traditions, while doing our part to keep the community safe from the potential spread of COVID. Instead, we are proposing we move our Christmas celebration outdoors where individuals and families can socially distance in outdoor areas and come/go throughout a time period (vs. drawing everyone in for a scheduled start time). We would set up a stage to play music, including beloved Christmas carols. We would offer attendees hot chocolate and cookies, smore stations with small fire pits, and potentially a living nativity, all while adhering to safety precautions to keep our community safe. Family-friendly (and socially distanced) Christmas games would be offered in the lot. Bathrooms would be provided inside of Spring Lake Church.

Hello Celestine,
Aren’t you glad Election Day is behind us? I wanted to reschedule the November 18 Sustainability Meeting to November 19. Most members have responded saying the 19th works for them. The only thing is I’m not able to reschedule it in Outlook, since you’re the original meeting organizer.
We can talk about this Thursday or Friday. We should probably get the meeting series transferred over to me – so this is off your plate, but totally up to you.

Seth/Celestine,

I spoke to Ald. Scannell and we decided to move the day and time of the Parks Committee from November 25 to November 18 at 5:00 PM. We did this so that the Parks Committee could meet the same day as the scheduled Improvement & Services Committee. Usually they are scheduled on the same day, but for some reason they were not on that week. These two meetings are always on the same night because both committees consist of the same committee members. This avoids the committee members having to meet two weeks in a row.
This is unfortunately the same day and time as the Sustainability Commission. Therefore Ald. Scannell will not be able to attend. There is also a possibility that Kaurie Mihm may also have a conflict. We don’t know yet. Depending on the Parks Committee Agenda items she might also have to attend the Parks Committee.
I am just letting you know so that you can have some discussion as to whether or not you would like to reschedule the Sustainability Commission meeting or keep it as it is currently scheduled. Please let Ald. Scannell and Kaurie Mihm know what you decide.

I think it’s a very big misunderstanding of what central count is and can easily be proven untrue at this moment when people go to vote at the polls. I think the City has taken great strides in showing transparency and making the elections as safe and accessible as possible. I mean, whoever decided to live stream central count I think we a great move. Will people be watching it all day? Probably not, but it’s there if people want to.
Hopefully the Mayor’s office doesn’t get inundated with calls over this, especially on Election Day

Shelby – You may have seen this already, one of the first comments on this mornings post.
People seem to be getting confused on what central count is. People claim to be told from a City employee that all the voting machines are being moved to one location. Whether the “city employee” is legit or not, I think employees being aware that what they say can be easily taken out of context and shared on social media and spreads like wildfire is important to realize.

Does this sound right to you??? Copied from a friend. I’ve learned the mayor of Green Bay, Eric Genrich, is having all the voting machines moved from the polls to another location to have ballots counted. Per a city employee involved in this process, there is no good reason for it. The mayor has never been involved in the details before, but is apparently all over this one, they have never moved the machines before, and the mayor is saying they need more space to do the counting, which is confusing to the staff because they said they have plenty of space. He has also hired a few additional people unknown to the current staff to oversee this process. To do this, the mayor would have had to submit this 30 days prior to election, and because he didn’t, it has to be approved by Governor Evers... which it was - big shocker. Does this smell funny to anyone else? Not to mention the fact that something unnecessary is going to cost all of us money as taxpayers.  As if this isn’t bad enough I was also made aware that the army reserves 217th of Green Bay was scheduled to help be poll workers as of last week, but that is now cancelled and are now on riot control. None of this feels on the up and up. Should people feel led to call the mayors office and ask questions/complain, here’s the number: 920.448.3005 Maybe if enough people call, it could help put a magnifying glass on him.

We will do a press conference at 11:00am in the City Hall Chambers.
Here are some talking points for the Police from Amaad:
This is an exciting time in the City of Green Bay and across the country. We just want to make some things clear about the election. Given the importance of the election, unfortunately, some folks are actively trying to spread disinformation. We need folks to ask questions and get clarification before actively spreading unverified information. To be clear, this is where you can find your polling location https://myvote.wi.gov/en‐us/FindMyPollingPlace Central Count has been moved to the KI Center from City Hall. We announced this on this October 28th https://greenbaywi.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=304 Central Count is the process of counting and tabulating absentee ballots. Central Count also receives the results from each polling location at the end of the day. All of the machines that are being used for the election have been publicly tested on October 27th. As usual, anyone can observe the democratic process at central count or polling locations as long as you check in with the Chief Inspector first. The central count is being livestreamed this year so anyone can watch online as well. https://youtu.be/hs07UuWLDkE The Police Department has partnered with the City of GB to provide security for the elections and the ballots. You can find additional information on our website: https://greenbaywi.gov/elections We look forward to everyone participating in the democracy. We hope everyone enjoys this election. The City of Green Bay is proud to bring the residents a safe, secure, and efficient election. We will also be holding more media updates at 5pm and 9pm tonight.
For those unaware, this is the disinformation that is being copied/pasted throughout social media.
Does this sound right to you??? Copied from a friend. I’ve learned the mayor of Green Bay, Eric Genrich, is having all the voting machines moved from the polls to another location to have ballots counted. Per a city employee involved in this process, there is no good reason for it. The mayor has never been involved in the details before, but is apparently all over this one, they have never moved the machines before, and the mayor is saying they need more space to do the counting, which is confusing to the staff because they said they have plenty of space. He has also hired a few additional people unknown to the current staff to oversee this process. To do this, the mayor would have had to submit this 30 days prior to election, and because he didn’t, it has to be approved by Governor Evers... which it was - big shocker. Does this smell funny to anyone else? Not to mention the fact that something unnecessary is going to cost all of us money as taxpayers.  As if this isn’t bad enough I was also made aware that the army reserves 217th of Green Bay was scheduled to help be poll workers as of last week, but that is now cancelled and are now on riot control. None of this feels on the up and up. Should people feel led to call the mayors office and ask questions/complain, here’s the number: 920.448.3005

Hi all,
As you probably know, a New York Times reporter posted last night that Green Bay’s results were delayed because “because one of the vote‐counting machines ran out of ink and an elections official had to return to City Hall to get more.” Did this happen? Are you aware of anything else that happened that may have been confused for a problem in Green Bay? Twitter is flagging this tweet, so we really want to correct any information ASAP.

Hi Shauna,
I have not seen any information related to when the myvote.gov website will be updated for those that cast in- person absentee votes.
I voted in-person on Monday, 10/26/2020 between 10:00am - 11:00am. At the same time, I placed my parents absentee ballots in the black container to the left of the older, Caucasian lady sitting at the table.
MyVote.gov has not been updated to reflect my having voted. While I understand it may not be possible to respond to every email individually. If you are unable to respond to my email, can you please communicate via the City of Green Bay website and/or FB.

Hey Celestine, I hope you're well and got some rest last night! I'm following election-related issues in the state and was wondering if the Mayor would have time to speak with me over the phone.
I was hoping to ask him about the turnout in the city as well as 'lessons learned' on absentee voting after this historic election. I also wanted to ask about Wisconsin flipping to Biden based on unofficial results and if he has any thoughts on what drove that.
Let me know if he could talk and what works for him. I'm pretty flexible most of the day except for the state elections briefing at 1130cst, which should run till about 1230 or earlier I think.
He can also reach me directly at 704-578-7075. Thanks!

Dear Mrs.Jeffreys,
The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) opened its election observation mission for the November 3 General Elections in the United States on September 29. It comprises 15 international experts based in Washington, D.C. and 30 long‐term observers who have been deployed in various states across the country.
In fulfilling the mandate of our observation mission here, we are meeting various election stakeholders to discuss electoral processes, including preparations for early, absentee, and in‐person voting and tabulation of results, the political campaigns, election legislation on federal and state levels, the media, and new voting technologies. We typically meet with numerous election stakeholders in the elections and remain impartial in our observations. Two of us arrived in Madison 4 on October 21 and will stay to conduct meetings and observe the election process and the campaign until November 8.
We kindly request a meeting with you or your representatives to discuss the preparation of the elections in Green Bay. Considering the current state of the pandemic, the meeting can be held in person or virtually, through a video (or audio‐only) conference, as you prefer.
Sincerely yours,
Marija Raspopović (Montenegro)

Vanessa,
My apologies for sending that earlier draft. I am not sure how my edits did not stick but here is the version I intended to provide.
The statutes on this are different when you are in a municipality without central count, and when you are in a municipality with a central count. Whether that’s intentional or not – when you read Wis. Stat. 7.52(1)(a) along with 6.87(6) – there is an argument that could be made, that if you have central count, the ballot needs to be returned to the municipal clerk by 8pm – not the central count location or the polling location – and that ballot is then transmitted as soon as possible by the clerk to the central count and it shall be counted. For municipalities that do not have a central count, it’s clear under 6.87(6) that is must be delivered to the polling place by 8pm for it to be counted.
Our guidance and the advice have provided to other central count municipalities is that the best practice (conservative to ensure all ballots are eligible to be counted), is that the ballots should be delivered to the central count location prior to 8pm so there is no question or possible challenge to when those ballots were in fact received by the municipal clerk. If they are at the central count by 8pm, they must have been in the possession of the clerk prior to 8pm – so there is no room to question as to the arrival of the ballot and reliance on the statutory language that is not perfectly in sync with non-central count municipalities.

I didn't get in touch with the person who does the payroll, in order to better understand the need for the physical ss card. I have one more day on Monday so don't give up on me!!
1 We discussed your assistance at central count and will gladly take advice you can provide there. I won't be there so ill do an email intro to you and jaime. I think Diana will be at city hall.
Doug, I hope that helps and let's email again on Monday.
Warm wishes,

Celestine,
Were you ever able to get the SS card requirement waived for Tuesday central count workers? I was hoping to work with my two buddies.
Lee needs to rearrange students schedules by mid‐day Monday.

Hi Everyone
Please read the two versions of the suspicious person that made it to the Clerks office yesterday. I created a CAD call/abbreviated version of a full police report to document what happened. Mike H secured the video. I just want to brief you as to what happened. I do not think we can identify the person based on the video and we never ID’d her yesterday. Please let me know if I can help with anything further

Hi Commander, Tonight, Tuesday, November 3rd at approximately 6:25pm I was at the Festival Foods West at 2250 W Mason St to make sure the ballot box was closed at 7pm. At approximately 6:35pm a male white, later I learned he was a City of Green Bay employee, arrived in his red 4 door sedan. About 5 minutes later, another male white arrived in a red Toyota Prius. The male from the Prius got out of his vehicle with a clipboard so I also got out of my vehicle. I walked closer to him and asked if he was the person that was 1 going to be locking the ballot box. He stated he was from the Wisconsin Elections Commission to observe the locking of the ballot box. At 7pm, the City employee locked the ballot box. We were all outside our vehicles at this time and the male from the Prius asked how I got involved or associated with the elections. I stated I was a City employee and that I was making sure the ballot box was closed at 7pm. The male was wearing a piece of clothing with “Bernie Sanders” on it. We both went back to our vehicles as we waited for CSOs Phillips and DelRio‐Avina to come to collect the ballots. At 7:05pm a blue Toyota Rav 4 with a white female pulled up to the ballot box. The male from the Prius got out and started talking to the female. I also got out of my vehicle but I did not hear what he was saying to her. While this was happening, CSO Phillips and DelRio‐Avina arrived at approximately 7:10pm. When the CSOs parked on the side of the road on the W Mason Frontage Rd, a gold colored sedan occupied by two white females parked directly behind them. The driver got out of the vehicle while the CSOs were still in their vehicle. I started to tell her that the ballot boxes were closed at 7pm and she told me she was a poll observer. I did not see any name tag or any other identifying information. The female, myself, the male from the Prius all observed the CSOs empty the ballot box. I spoke shortly to CSO DelRio‐Avina and then got into my vehicle and left. I did not see if the gold colored vehicle continued to follow the CSOs.
Thank you! Melanie

Good Evening Commander,
Kyle and I just wanted to fill you in on what happened on November 3, 2020 regarding the election/ ballots. We were assigned to the west side of the city the Old Sears location and the Festival West location. We arrived at the Sears location at approximately 6:57 PM, when we arrived we were greeted by an older female white with shoulder length hair wearing jeans and a jacket. This individual verbally identified herself as an election observer (we assumed that meant that she was with the city.) She stated that she needed to observe us picking up the ballots and said that she needed to followed us to each of our stops. This to us seemed like if she was just joking around with us. Another city employee who had a named tag with her was also present and witnessed everything that occurred at this location. Female stated to not call the police on her as She was driving and older model grey Buick La Sabre or a Oldsmobile sedan with Wisconsin auto plates.
At approximately 7:05 pm we left the Sears location and went to the Festival location where Melanie was at, We arrived at festival at approximately 7:10 Pm and parked in front of the ballot box as the un named individual parked her vehicle behind ours and got out and followed us to the box. Once the ballots were collected the box was locked back up. Around 7:18 we left to go to city hall to drop off the ballots.
On arrival to city hall we safely grabbed the two ballot bags and brought them inside city hall. We did not see the female get out of her vehicle, when inside city hall we were unaware that the female was behind us she must have snuck out before the door shut. While going inside the city clerk’s office she was question by Kim as she was not recognized to be a city employee nor a registered observer that
2 was allowed inside the Office. Once we left the Clerk’s office we made sure the female went out with us. Once going to Central hall the female was no longer with.
City hall advised that they should have cameras that capture her at the polling sites and inside city hall.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Just a quick note of thanks to every single City of Green Bay employee who helped administer our election yesterday and in the weeks preceding Nov. 3. It is a massive undertaking to hold an election in a city of our size, and I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you who lent a hand. Specifically, I want to acknowledge the work of the City Clerk's office, led for the last few weeks by Deputy Clerk Kim Wayte. She and her team (especially Jaime at Central Count!) performed incredibly well in some very high pressure situations, and they received more compliments than I could possibly catalog because of their efforts.
So thank you, thank you, thank you for making democracy work in our city. I appreciate you all so very much.

Dear Green Bay City Manager and Clerk:
My name is Mircea Voskercian, and I am emailing you from a startup called Hiago.com. We realize times are challenging due to COVID-19, and budgets are tight. During these difficult days, we have noticed that many cities like Green Bay have the same problems:
1. It is time consuming to filter emails from residents in your inbox, and properly assign them to agenda items. 2. Spanish native speakers cannot understand agenda items and attachments. 3. City council meetings are not transcribed automatically.
Hiago has developed a solution for $750/month for cities like Green Bay to :
1. Automatically publish incoming emails to Green Bay on a website. Sample website. 2. Automatically translate agendas and packets into Spanish.Sample translation. 3. Automatically transcribe city council videos. Sample transcription.
Watch Hiago's Email Solution Video
Email us for a live sample Spanish translation and transcription for a recent Green Bay council meeting for free. Hiago is already deployed in the city of Menlo Park, California and is in discussions with many other cities.
Would this be of interest to Green Bay? If so, can we set up a time to discuss with you?
Thank you! Mircea

When you know more, you will need to submit permit information on the contractors using the appropriate permit form. The inspectors will need that to contact them as they go through the inspection process. Please submit the forms to Bill so he can add it to the files.

As stated in my email from September 16, substantial completion was required by today. Your pictures document that has not happened.

Reinspections fees will commence again starting today.
Your plan to enhance the house is commendable, but you need to get help. Please seek friends or family or hire a contractor to button the house up on the exterior. Winter is upon us and it the current state the house is not weather tight, which could lead to condemnation. The house is in a serious state compromise. Weather permitting, you basically have the month of October to complete this.
Thanks,
Paul

I'm writing this email to update you on our progress thus far.
Our progress has been not great, but not terrible. We're a few days behind the significant progress I had aimed for (tar paper on, insulation on, house wrap on, furring strips on). Our delay is largely due to me having to go to the ER on the 26th (found a nail with my foot). That's been a four day delay. We plan on catching up this week. I've attached pictures of our progress thus far.
Thanks

From: Paul Van Calster
Good Afternoon Luke,
Thank you for the background. I do understand your frustration and recognize the effort you are extending on behalf of your family.
Based on the fact this has been going on since 2018, I would make a point of discussion that it is not a realistic time frame that your neighbors should have to experience for an exterior remodel. By municipal code, permits are good for just a year, which speaks to the need to complete the exterior of your project. You have requested extensions in the past that we have granted. Now you have requested two weeks of uninterrupted time to make progress on the exterior. How I handle those requests relative to the reinspection fees is upon completion of the work in the two weeks you request, I will rescind those two weeks of fees. Being it is mid‐week already, I will rescind the reinspection fees from September 15 thru October 2; assuming on October 5th the exterior is completed. That grants you an additional extension of more than the two weeks your requested and includes 3 weekends as well to complete it. You state you
3 will make progress over this two week time frame, but we need more than that, we need completion or at least substantial completion on October 5, with a timeline at that time from you for final completion of the exterior.
I do not need daily progress reports from you, spend that time on the house. I look forward to seeing your accomplishments on October 5.
Thanks,
Paul

I’m writing this email in hopes you will grant us a conditional two week extension from $50/day reinspection fees. While there are some similarities between our situation in 2018 and 2019 compared to now, there are also important differences in our behavior and progress. I’ll start with the similarities and then the differences.
In the fall of 2018, someone left an anonymous complaint about a trash in our yard. That complaint was driven by leaving a fridge on our back porch for just over a week… a fridge we left there that long because the lady who responded to our ‘free working fridge’ post on craigslist couldn’t find someone to transport it for her. 2020 corollary? A week ago I left some scrape wood out behind our garage for a neighbor to pick through for her arts and crafts. They didn’t get back to me quick enough, and someone left an anonymous complaint about trash in our yard.
In November of 2019, I talked with Bill Paape in the office. In that meeting he made clear that he was enforcing the rules to be fair to everyone… and that it’s a good thing he’d never been inside my house otherwise he may have reason to condemn it. 2020 corollary? Bill Paape stopped by our property this past Thursday. He made clear he was enforcing the rules to be fair to everyone… and that if I didn’t let him on my property to take pictures, I was asking for additional citations.
4
But why only focus on negatives, there are some real positive differences. Compared to 2018 (and 2019) we’ve removed almost two thousand square feet of transite siding (concrete asbestos), double bagged it and disposed of it at the Outagamie county recycling center as required by the DNR. We’re removing (and disposing of) the same amount of cedar lap right now, and we’ve got 2400 square feet of 4” polyiso insulation to install once we replace any damaged sheathing. These things are happening now. And as a result, we’re building things better than Kevin King’s retrofit program. Our wall assemblies are R40 instead of R16, and we won’t run the risk of interior winter condensation creating moisture problems (moisture problems we’ve uncovered as we’ve removed both layers of siding and examined the original hewn board sheathing).
Here’s what I want you to consider; we are good family. Three kids with another on the way, both my wife and I are going to school, and we don’t cause any trouble in the neighborhood. You can fault us for being ambitious, sure, ambitious enough to take a multi‐family house in need of great attention and give it the attention it needs to fix it. Are those types of ambitious retrofit projects the ones that you want to discourage with daily reinspection fees? I propose you grant us a two week conditional extension – we don’t get any more fees on the condition that we make good progress, and we’ll report that progress to you on a daily basis.
I have one last request; Transfer our case to a different inspector. I won’t work with Bill Paape anymore. He’s used his position to verbally bully us and has repeatedly threatened us. I haven’t had a single positive interaction with Bill, and after two years, I need to work with someone else. Actually I’d love to not have to work with anyone anymore; give us a few weeks of time where we can actually work and we’ll be done.
To recap: We’re making more progress than we’ve ever made, yet we’re faced with the same threats we faced in 2018 and 2019. Give us two weeks of actively working on the house and reevaluate our progress then. Reassign our case from Bill Paape to another inspector.
If you have any questions, call me on my cell. I’ve got class at UWM for my Masters from 1‐3 this afternoon, and I’m happy to talk on the two hour drive commute.
Thanks

Hi Kim and Jaime, would you be able to pull the numbers on the absentee ballots returned and outstanding per ward?
If you want to just export the Excel files for the absentee ballot report, we can work with that. Ilana from the Vote at Home team will work to balance the loads so that each table has a similar number of ballots to prepare.
In addition, have you figured out which wards will be on the DS200? If not, we can do that too.
Thanks, Michael

Hello!
I think it would be important for “us” (the clerk’s office) to pull data from WisVote which would tell us, the number of registered voters, the absentee ballot requests and returns per ward.
Kim has done a fabulous job keeping us posted on the daily totals. As we head into Election Day, it would be profitable for us to understand where we will need or require Election Day poll workers, and then also the allocation of ward assignments for Central Count.
Please let me know how I can help collect this data.
Thanks!!

Totally understand the need for more clarity and I think you’re right.
I would say that, on balance, the person’s right to vote is paramount, but our ordinance needs to be respected. Perhaps it’s best not to connect the weapon and the vote, in the same way, “no shirt, no shoes, no service” is connected.
Is the person causing a disruption? Are they brandishing the weapon and therefore posing a threat? I would say that a simple request to put the weapon in the car and then come back to their place in the line would be appropriate.

Thanks. I'm glad for the signage.
Just to clarify- 1
So, it would be accurate to say, "You cannot enter until you have left the weapon in your car."
But if they move past us to vote anyways, can we refuse to serve them / process them until they have gotten rid of the weapon? Or should we allow them to vote anyways - after letting them know that they are breaking an ordinance and could receive a ticket.
I totally understand the idea behind this, and hopeful the signage will be enough for our voters. I just want to make sure that we (poll workers) aren't "suppressing their vote" by not giving them a ballot if they refuse to leave their weapon behind.
On Mon, Nov 2, 2020 at 3:55 PM Celestine Jeffreys
Dear Ms. Riordan,
Jaime forwarded your email to me. I hope I can answer some of your questions and concerns.
I've been mulling over how a conversation might go with a voter, and the one thing I couldn't figure out. (I might be overthinking this)
If they have been made aware of the ordinance and decide to proceed anyway, we don't stop them from entering the building, right? We can only make them aware and call the police. But if they say, "I'm not taking it off to vote. Are you not allowing me to enter?" We have to say that they can still come in and vote, right? Because we can't say anything to suggest that we might be putting any barriers in the way of their voting? Or are we supposed to do something else that I missed?
There are going to be signs informing the voters that they are not permitted to have weapons, including firearms, inside the polling location. Their right to vote remains, as long as they don’t bring a weapon inside the location. The remedy, which would preserve their voting rights and the abide by our ordinance, is to leave the weapon in the vehicle or dwelling.
2 As far as confronting a voter, certainly this is about your comfort level and if you can view the weapon. You always have the option to call law enforcement, if you believe the situation merits their involvement.
If you have other questions, please email me. I’m on my email for the next few hours.
