ADJOURNMENT Owens/Otwell motioned to adjourn the Council meeting at 7:29 p.m. Motion passed without a negative voice vote. Respectfully Submitted, Rashel Temmers, Clerk To: Prescott City Council and anyone concerned Subject: PCTV channel 6 termination Public Access channel 6 broadcasts using equipment in the old high school (1220 Saint Croix St, the current middle school.) At the time, indoor sports were held at that school's gym and the HS Video Editing class were down the hallway. Equipment placement there made sense. In 2017, Comcast ran new fiber optic cabling from their office to both City Hall and the 1220 school building, which coincided with newer digital delivery and improved video quality for both of our stations. The upgrades were provided by Comcast for free. For the last couple years, channel 6 has not broadcast live content. To playback pre-recorded video files on channel 6, the district provided a VPN connection to the video player. In May that connection stopped working and we reached out to the district for help. Instead of a fix, we were told that the VPN could no longer do what it had, and we were asked to remove our equipment from the building. I reached out to Keith VanHolbeck, our Comcast Engineer who handles Public Access connections for us and other municipalities. Given the expense and logistics of the original fiber placement, it would not be feasible to re-home our channel 6 equipment. He recommended dismantling the station end and retrieving the equipment to be stored as spares in case anything went wrong with channel 18. Soon, Dallas Eggers and I will shut down and retrieve the equipment from the 1220 Saint Croix building. The station will be off-cable for the foreseeable future. Respectfully, Lawrence Imm, Cable Coordinator  To: Mayor and Council From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator Date: November 21, 2023 Subject: Chapter 146 Police Department Background State of Wisconsin Statutes (Wis. Stat. §§ 62.13) requires that any City over 4,000 create a police commission, however, the City of Prescott proactively established a Police Commission well before they reached a population of 4,000. The Prescott Police Commission holds the following responsibilities: • Appoints, suspends or removes the police chief and police officers. • Approves all appointments made by the police chief including promotions of police officers. • Approves competitive examinations used to judge suitability for appointment as police officers. • Approves each list of individuals eligible for appointment as police officers. • Suspends the police chief and/or police officers pending the filing and hearing of charges against them. • Initiates charges against the police chief or any police officer • Hears appeals of disciplinary actions initiated by the police chief against a police officer The Police Commission can be granted other responsibilities based on a referendum by electors. Currently the following communities have approved additional powers by their Police Commission: Beaver Dam, Berlin, Chetek, Hales Corners, Ladysmith, Lake Geneva, Marshfield, Mauston, New Lisbon, New London, Oconto, Port Washington, Stevens Point, Waupaca, and West Allis. Discussion Based on the information above there are multiple instances in Chapter 146 that should be adjusted from Board of Police Commissioners to Council based on Wisconsin State Statute 62.10(13), which states “(1) (The Chief of Police) shall have command of the combined protective services force, under the direction of the mayor. The chief shall obey all lawful written orders of the mayor or common council.” These include the following: 146-2 Records and Reports A. Monthly Reports.

In the case of absence or disability of the Chief of Police, the Lieutenant shall be the acting Chief of Police and such acting Chief of Police shall perform the duties and exercise the power and authority of the Chief of Police but shall be entitled to no additional pay. Council considered these changes at their meeting on November 13, 2023 and requested that wording be added to 146-4, Section 10 to include a potential pay increase for the Lieutenant if they are serving in the role of Police Chief temporarily. The new section reads as follows: 10. In the case of absence or disability of the Chief of Police, the Lieutenant shall be the acting Chief of Police and such acting Chief of Police shall perform the duties and exercise the power and authority of the Chief of Police but shall be entitled to no additional pay.
