Top issues during term (20)(Public Safety)
Operator's license appeal and application disclosures
Potential loss of a neighborhood business; no direct city cost.
Firefighter candidate retention
Hiring costs weren't detailed, but filling police and fire positions affects the departments' budgets.
Sex offender residency appeals
2025 Justice Assistance Grant acceptance
Accepting the grant saves the city from buying the radios out of the general fund; rejecting it means the roughly $62,000 equipment cost lands on local taxpayers.
Police promotional processes (Commander, Captain, Detective)
Rewrite of alcohol beverage licensing code
Licensing revenue is standard for the city; no specific figure stated.
Patrol officer hiring
New Fire Station 1 at 420 S. Broadway and $15 million borrowing
Adds $5 million in federal funds to the fire station project, reducing the local cost burden.
City Forester nuisance tree authority
No direct cost to the city — but violators could now face fines of $500 or more per tree.
May 2026 Traffic Safety Plan and June enforcement deployments
Grant funding for traffic enforcement is being renewed for the fiscal year beginning October 1.
Firefighters grievance (GBPPA Grievance 2026-01) finalized
Automated license plate readers (ALPR) policy
The source doesn’t list a dollar figure, but the fight could shape whether Green Bay keeps paying for Flock cameras.
Parking restrictions near Martin Luther King Elementary School
Sidewalk recommendations could cost homeowners roughly $1,400–$2,000 per residential lot if the city builds them and assesses the cost.
Police and Fire Department staffing levels
The fire chief's budget requests — three firefighter reclassifications and up to two division chief positions — aim to cut overtime, while the departments are trying to stay under a 3% budget increase.
Fire Station 6 remodel
Estimated $75,000 for design and construction administration.
Fire Department equipment purchases
Camera purchase approved now; CIP requests include a full fire-hose replacement, a USAR rig trimmed from $2.2 million to $500,000, and med unit refurbishments dropping costs from $500,000 to $360,000 each.
Jam Rock liquor license non-renewal upheld
Potential loss of a neighborhood business; no direct city cost.
Grass and weeds abatement charge appeal at 811 Ernst Drive
If the appeal were granted, the city would lose $451.54 in revenue for services performed.
Fire Station 3 repairs
About $250,000 in repairs with a $50,000 deductible; insurance is expected to cover the rest.
