RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR CONSENT AGENDA
Motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented
Summary: The Parks and Recreation Department is seeking a $25,000 Wisconsin DNR Urban Forestry Grant to help Two Rivers grow, plant and care for trees. The project would improve the City’s gravel bed nursery, start an acorn-growing program with local schools, support a forestry youth apprentice. It would also fund priority ash tree removals and hazardous-tree pruning. The grant requires a $25,000 local match, which the City plans to provide through its annual tree removal and pruning budget. Council approval of the resolution will authorize the City to apply for the grant.
Recommended Action:
Motion to waive reading and adopt the resolution
Summary: Council will consider an amendment to the City’s sex offender residency ordinance to strengthen its legal enforceability while maintaining significant protections for children and the community. This will provide the City a more legally defensible way to maintain strong public-safety protections.
Based on a recent legal review, the proposed amendment would replace the City’s existing residency provisions with a geographically based restriction prohibiting covered sex offenders from establishing a residence within 1,000 feet of designated protected locations, including schools, day care facilities, public libraries, public parks and playgrounds, and places of worship.
The proposed amendment is intended to preserve strong local public-safety protections while bringing the City’s ordinance into closer alignment with Wisconsin case law and reducing the risk of a successful legal challenge.
Recommended Action:
Motion to waive reading and adopt the ordinance
