UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Economic Development Strategic Plan Contract
Mayor Slocomb stated this item was deferred at the 8/21/2002 meeting to determine
funding sources. Ald. Petfalski moved to recommend approval subject to the Common
Council passing a resolution to commit funds in 2002 and 2003. Ald. Salentine
seconded. The Mayor stated there appears to be money in contingency to cover the
cash requirements for the 2002 payments. The entire contract amount would be

NEW BUSINESS
1. Discuss Training Requirement for Temporary Operators
Clerk-Treasurer Marenda presented additional information regarding requiring
applicants for temporary operators’ licenses to complete the responsible beverage
server training course. She stated that the League of Wisconsin Municipalities has
now reversed its opinion that the course is required. The Committee made a
determination at the 8/13/2002 meeting to require the training course based on the
opinion of the League as well as City Attorney John Macy. This is still the
recommendation of the city attorney even though it is not a legal requirement. Mayor
Slocomb and Ald. Salentine both stated they supported the course requirement. Ald.
Petfalski used the Community Festival as an example stating that the intent of the
requirement has no bearing when only one person may have to take the course and
there are many other operators working at the same event that do not have to take it.
The Mayor noted the responsibility is on the licensed operator to communicate the
regulations to the other volunteers. Ald. Salentine stated the notification letters and the
October 1 effective date will give the affected organizations time to plan accordingly.
Petfalski suggested that information be provided to the organizations outlining operator
responsibilities and they be requested to provide copies to all their volunteers. The
Clerk agreed that could be done and stated that her office would operate under the
determination made by the Committee at the 8/13/2002 meeting.
