Discussion and Possible Action Re: A Special Event Permit application from Ryan Richards for the World Triathlon Corporation’s Ironman Triathlon on Sunday, September 8, 2019 from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Christensen stated this is a solid event every year. This is the 18th year for the event. The Ironman event brings several thousand participants and spectators to the City. All police officers are assigned to this event to assist with traffic and road crossings. New construction on CTH M between Whalen Road and Locust Street was a topic of concern regarding bringing the bikes off of Whalen, up Main Street, and then onto Locust Street. Christensen and Richards walked that area, and developed a route that they believe is the safest for all involved. It will require the bikers to cross South Main Street diagonally from north to south, then follow South Main Street on the south side to Locust Drive. There will be a hard shut down on Locust Street to Bruce Street. Touchett asked if there will be advance communication to the participants to let them know that there are areas in this section of the route that may be harder to navigate. Christensen replied a meeting will be held the evening before the event to communicate any course changes for the year. Maps of the course will be available for participants, as well. Costs for police department presence will be reimbursed by the applicant. Motion by Touchett, seconded by Kohl, to approve a Special Event Permit application from Ryan Richards for the World Triathlon Corporation’s Ironman Triathlon on Sunday, September 8, 2019 from 7:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Motion carried 3-0. 6.

Motion carried 3-0. 7. Discussion and Possible Action Re: A Memorandum of Understanding between Public Safety Cadets and the City of Verona regarding a program to educate and mentor youth. Sergeant Christensen explained that the Police Department used to be an Explorer Post group through the Boy Scouts of America under the Learning for Life umbrella. The Public Safety Cadets are essentially the same thing as Learning for Life, except that they are more narrowly focused on public safety organizations. The Public Safety Cadets program is nationwide, non-profit organization founded in 2018 to assist public safety agencies in mentoring young adults ages 14-21 to serve their communities. Compared to the fees currently being paid by the City to the Learning for Life program, the Public Safety Cadet program is much less expensive. Reekie asked how many hours a month this entails for the officers, and how the hours are covered fiscally. Christensen replied the officers spend approximately two hours with the youth on Mondays. Coughlin stated this is part of the department’s community outreach. It allow the kids to get involved in something productive and meaningful, while having some experience with the job, so they know what is involved. Christensen stated they are also involved in community events like Adopt-A-Highway, help with posting No Parking signs, and do ride-alongs with the officers from time to time. They use a team oriented approach, and sometimes compete against other cadet groups. Motion by Reekie, seconded by Touchett, to recommend to the Common Council to approve a Memorandum of Understanding between Public Safety Cadets and the City of Verona to educate and mentor youth. Motion carried 3-0. 8. Adjournment: Motion by Kohl, seconded by Touchett, to adjourn at 6:01 p.m. Motion carried 3-0. Ellen Clark, City Clerk PUBLIC SAFETY & WELFARE COMMITTEE - 2019-08-12 5.
