Verona Mart, Inc. is purchasing Verona Mobil from Brar Enterprises, Inc., and has applied for a new license for the property. The property is scheduled to change hands on December 17th. Motion by Touchett, seconded by Kohl, to recommend to the Common Council to approve a Combination Class “A” Beer and “Class A” Liquor license application from Verona Mart, Inc., d/b/a Verona Mobil, 101 East Verona Avenue, Verona, Wisconsin, Ijaz Afridi, Agent. Motion carried 3-0. 6. Discussion and Possible Action Re: City of Verona Warming and Cooling Center Policy. The proposed policy would provide guidance for the activation of City facilities as warming and cooling centers when the National Weather Service issues a wind chill warning, a heat advisory, or excessive heat warning. The policy would designate the Library and Senior Center as warming and cooling centers. These locations would serve as temporary locations where citizens would be safe and comfortable during extreme temperature events. Motion by Reekie, seconded by Kohl, to recommend to the Common Council to approve the City of Verona Warming and Cooling Center Policy. Motion carried 3-0. 7. Discussion and Possible Action Re: Agreement for crossing guard services. The proposed Agreement with All City Management Services would provide crossing guard services for the City. The contract would end on December 31, 2020 with the potential for an extension. The cost for services in 2020 is to not exceed $124,250. The contract also includes language that provides the City with a credit of $40 per hour, per location staffed by City personnel. Touchett asked what this does for the current staff. Coughlin stated there are no guarantees, but the company intends to keep as many current staff as possible. Crossing guard staff and All City Management Services staff will be meeting on Thursday, December 19th for orientation. Reekie asked what prompted this change. Coughlin replied it has become more and more difficult to staff crossing guard positions. He hopes that people will be more inclined to want to work for a company managed by someone other than the police department.  Motion by Touchett, seconded by Kohl, to recommend to the Common Council to approve an agreement with All City Management Services to provide crossing guard services for the City, contingent upon final review by the City Administrator and City Attorney. Motion carried 3-0. 8. Adjournment: Motion by Touchett, seconded by Reekie, to adjourn at 6:38 p.m. Motion carried 3-0. Ellen Clark, City Clerk PUBLIC SAFETY & WELFARE COMMITTEE - 2020-01-13 5.

Compared to the traditional justice system, studies indicate that the Restorative Justice process resolves cases more quickly, reduces recidivism, and generates greater feelings of fairness for both the victim and the offender. Just over four years ago, we began the CRC on the south side of Madison. Due to the pilot program’s success, I expanded the CRC to be countywide in my 2017 budget—allowing more individuals to have access to this resource. Now, the program is thriving, and we continue to form partnerships that expand its scope. We had over 350 referrals to CRC through 2018, and 90 percent of those who participated in the program successfully completed it. The CRC is making a real difference in our community and the lives of our young people. A huge thank you goes out to Supervisor Shelia Stubbs and the staff and stakeholders who make this program possible. I cannot wait to see what we will accomplish in the years to come. Sincerely, Joe Parisi Dane County Executive REPAIR HARM - REDUCE RISK - REBUILD COMMUNITY PAGE 1 DANE COUNTY COMMUNITY RESTORATIVE COURT Issue #2 Community Restorative Court staff, stakeholders and Peacemakers gathered for an appreciation picnic on August 7 at William G.

She is currently a senior at UW-Madison earning her Bachelor of Social Work, as well as a Certificate in LGBTQ+ Studies.

She understands that rebuilding relationships within the community is both healing and empowering. Welcome Haley! Snapshot of Respondents Served through the CRC Program CRC began receiving referrals to our program in 2015. Through mid- September 2019, there have been a total of 584 referrals from combined referral sources including the Dane County District Attorney’s Office, City of Madison, City of Fitchburg, City of Sun Prairie, City of Middleton, Town of Madison, and University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Departments. Referrals have steadily increased each year, with 237 referrals to-date in 2019. A quarter of the year remains, and CRC has already surpassed the total number of referrals in 2018 (205). What do these numbers tell us? Restorative Justice practices are expanding throughout Dane County at a notable rate.
