\"Our emergency shelter season runs from November 1 until the April,\" said Jesse Burnett, executive director of Saint John's Ministries. Burnett told the committee the shelters saw record numbers per night; he said the agency came \"pretty darn close\" to the women's permitted capacity, recording 57 women on one night and \"50 plus 16 nights.\" City limits currently allow 140 men at the men's shelter and 58 women at the women's shelter, Burnett said.

Burnett said the organization increased leadership, security and case-management resources during the season and shifted daytime centers (Mica Center and Wellspring) toward a warming-center model, which produced a 31% increase in visits over the six-month period. He described efforts to redirect people to shelter services and daytime case management instead of remaining in public parks.

Burnett said Saint John's plans to submit a conditional-use permit revision this summer to prepare for a modest increase in capacity — \"maybe a dozen more women, if needed\" — while acknowledging he hopes the additional capacity will not be required. The committee voted to receive the report and place it on file.

Burnett and committee members discussed broader drivers of homelessness, including housing affordability and regional trends in homelessness increases reported by HUD, and the agency's ongoing strategic planning for longer-term solutions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Protection & Policy Committee 6-16-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Saint John's Ministries told the committee it saw record nightly shelter demand, a 31% increase in daytime service visits, and is preparing a conditional-use permit revision to add capacity if needed.","taxTitle","Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin","taxId",2853,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6192939,"Committee asks staff to study anonymous complaint process for housing inspections",611,1116000,1727000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e&start=1116&end=1727","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e/thumbnail_1116000.jpg","/articles/6192939/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-asks-staff-to-study-anonymous-complaint-process-for-housing-inspections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6192939-a3b584f129641f030e4eb016a7ed6cb8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448415&Signature=CD6F~qZKst3vH2jKlLvJeBmntda27DYmnpBi0qOBvZq~VLUa~H1y6C3DuMdnhQXeHc8~R4C0mgfDKGXnB332spWelpvo4CnJlOBN5Z4u2XGqXvfIJEfCdV6DDfH6M0IEWD-FEMRDysPxxIzLVlT~9S0r9FQ28fjBW3yqQNeOrW6O6l1WTWvus~-iZ-E-EUIodD4FUNlsA-IsLbGGdN~NZ~kc7qYCLZVNhD3hxq8BV20Jge7DyTXoLqfV2I~h33EGcg8Fc1s2HS4Xl0CQQOIOMqGQIkW6vT1novSlkS9NMgzyDQXqQMP0Bkd~4BeNiR2Vphhi0dTQToT-ayumVDZS0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Protection & Policy Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025, voted to refer to staff a request to change the city’s Request for Service system so that some housing-inspection complaints would require the complainant’s name and address while preserving anonymity for certain sensitive categories.

Alder DeLee introduced the item after a constituent raised repeated complaints that appeared intended to harass neighbors. \"I get calls time after time of individuals that are being targeted by their neighbors,\" Alder DeLee said, arguing the system can be used to harass and that anonymous reports offer no way to track or communicate with the complainant.

The Director for inspections said the department processes roughly \"3,500 to maybe 4,000 complaints a year\" and that removing anonymity completely could chill legitimate reports and raise the risk of retaliation. The director proposed that staff explore targeted fixes — for example, retaining anonymity for certain complaint categories while allowing staff to investigate patterns of suspected harassment.

The law department cautioned that once a name is collected it generally becomes a public record and may need to be disclosed unless a balancing test or redaction is applied for safety concerns. \"For the most part once we have the information outside of the balancing test, there's no ... authority to absolutely withhold the information,\" the attorney said.

Committee members asked staff to return with a proposal and timeline; one staff member estimated a draft could be ready in about a month. The motion to refer the matter to staff for recommendations passed by voice vote.","Alder DeLee asked staff to review the city's Request for Service system to limit anonymous submissions in some cases; staff and the law department cautioned about retaliation and public-records disclosure and were asked to return with a proposal.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6192944,"Committee approves several liquor-license expansions, holds one event request and denies massage application",242,790000,1032000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e&start=790&end=1032","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e/thumbnail_790000.jpg","/articles/6192944/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-approves-several-liquor-license-expansions-holds-one-event-request-and-denies-massage-application","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6192944-939ac98fcd499b0c9f1b074c1de0f061/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448415&Signature=iLvat02eiUqq~f3290-LolP6kyRVl-KJ2s7JOtIZxzdakiYtc-ITHb2LqY0WOZjQl6SGxPy38CBU7h6sckKxDKMRluXbUtywsoTloArxqNhyhAK-daYXDgGBLQEaNEX1xbARld9O9xl-17rAeuVAIG8xIWBOhytJFh6Vr5OIERQ5vH6sBJs7JI6rnI1PnTUH69PCl9962pYvY5FVn8TcBU5YQmXzL1vcKroJqkr6B1cFm~UXD11Mh~SWTfou3egolw7u9H~XYFXINizZxekUKwycawfMi3rOb4Hq3MHOZczyMLL36w3hF7fiNtALF3TVGB58oblEkYzeu84fBxK0SQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Protection & Policy Committee on June 16, 2025, approved several limited expansions of alcohol premises and a reserve-class B application, but asked for more security details on one event and denied a massage-establishment application for a residency requirement omission.

The committee approved limited outdoor expansions for State Street Pub and Main Street Pub and Grill after the police department said the applicants planned fencing and security. \"They are gonna have fencing and security up so we have no issues,\" a police representative said about the State Street plan.

The committee also approved a reserve class B application for Salud GB LLC at 708 Bodard Street; the item was approved to proceed to final approval by proper authorities next week.

By contrast, the committee held the request from Riverside Ballroom at 1560 Main Street because police said the submitted plan lacked fencing and security details: \"The plan that was submitted does not show any fencing, any security,\" the police reviewer said, asking the applicant to submit a complete security plan before the committee reconsiders the request.

Separately, staff recommended denial of an application for a new massage establishment at 900 Cedar Street because the listed agent had a Chicago residence and the ordinance requires an agent to have been a state resident for at least 90 days. The committee voted to deny that application.

All approvals were contingent on the proper authorities completing final reviews; the committee's votes will be forwarded to the Common Council for final action as required by procedure.","The committee approved limited outdoor premise expansions for multiple bars and granted a reserve class B application; it held the Riverside Ballroom event plan for additional security details and denied a massage-establishment application for missing agent residency information.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6192948,"Committee holds appeal of Natasha Batson’s excessive-animal permit to next meeting",160,606000,766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e&start=606&end=766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e/thumbnail_606000.jpg","/articles/6192948/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-holds-appeal-of-Natasha-Batsons-excessive-animal-permit-to-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6192948-09c77dac7c81cc140bf896934fe4a06a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448415&Signature=fzB~Ik8-BErByfzBfus-lp4powX4DYAmP9L89p5Ct5cbyi3Y4elaKvUZC2VKv~XGSDGuoqWKqRYDzPv9TiuvdzvovOlZIP2N~K5sGjSq1voRuep26gBdqedBQMOKaJZzjOI0LgGWc~ft49NOxQ20brRHO6PPW6KyuJf8XLF~hXrrOm7-~iH4ZylbfeMRSNUR1lKbOv782AXNnDS6yDwCY~mAc2SJmFrzOKk1DXWMMDUU~gQPbtc~ncVeW4ywWLVByqS7YCIeHAQgYYTO8LeFyOguDdd0BSEvHNbRUfos9QTKTrKBaFnFmiVUguAJJhSedRBEtgXgz-yU62gXU3zajQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Protection & Policy Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025, voted to hold an appeal by Natasha Batson regarding denial of an excessive-animal permit to the committee's next meeting after staff reported the applicant had not followed required steps.

City staff told the committee that the applicant \"didn't follow-up\" with Officer Mavis after the June 1 meeting and had not resubmitted a corrected list of animals for inspection. \"We just don't have any information from the applicant,\" staff said.

Committee members moved to hold the appeal so Officer Mavis could report back on whether the applicant had met permit and building-inspection requirements. One member asked whether the clerk's office could notify Batson that the item had been held; that request was made on the record.

The motion to hold was seconded and adopted by voice vote. Committee members noted that, if denied, the applicant could file a new application; staff repeatedly recommended either holding the appeal or denying it given the lack of updated documentation.","The committee voted to hold the appeal after staff said the applicant did not follow up with required inspections and resubmission; applicant may reapply if denied.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":103,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6192953,"Green Bay committee deadlocks, forwards conversion-therapy resolution without recommendation",495,111000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e&start=111&end=606","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3868808-15ad23a3c21e2291ddec606b16b8209e/thumbnail_111000.jpg","/articles/6192953/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Green-Bay-committee-deadlocks-forwards-conversion-therapy-resolution-without-recommendation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6192953-c9191cf919eec28c9e8ebc01d98f7d5e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448415&Signature=AX3tt~DRXp50hzDFCLP7z3kRuyjTcvqfjKasPOUHf2IjWR01NJ5oHhVjDyA02QvEDZlsBCj6xIYwwytJA~IM5Z0wr843xXtppkrdZ2r7YgFYfJosNWNXBElqAHdKrTVqmJhqU9FV-o3OhAixmOkjP6y7F8DeF53v6KnRi1ZirjOz7cndlDarLkGlYOjUhmnWEL7FD8653Wjtf5P7y4Tw5Oxsf58vyRGceGF66I3JY8JLDfqjBNmyrl4Q73bJ1hbLBX~42ReWrNmbpOZ5A5DkZdRke0pnnD-zbCGwJ7ZK4wG3U9Atd4qlhJSNi5pGzrLrqJHezA6Sx7659-ghnzQ-WA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Protection & Policy Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025, deadlocked 2-2 on a motion to refer a staff-drafted resolution opposing the practice of conversion therapy to the Common Council, leaving the item before the council without a formal committee recommendation.

The resolution — requested by Alder Presley and Alder DeLee — was proposed as a public policy statement while a separate ordinance effort remains on hold because of pending litigation in another part of the state involving the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty. \"I'd like to see our city showing with this resolution that we are not in support of that practice in the city,\" Alder Presley said.

The measure's supporters cited scientific and medical opposition to conversion therapy. \"I work in the healthcare field,\" Alder Morgan said, citing the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry as scientific authorities, and saying a resolution would publicly signal the city's position while litigation proceeds.

Opponents urged caution because of the ongoing court case. The City Attorney explained the legal difference between a resolution and an ordinance: \"It's just a resolution that makes a policy statement or a community statement,\" the attorney said, adding that litigation outcomes could later prompt ordinance action.

After debate the committee recorded a 2-2 tie. The chair announced the result: the item will be forwarded to the Common Council without a committee recommendation. Committee members were divided on whether to wait for resolution of related litigation in La Crosse before taking action.

The Common Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday, June 24, at 6 p.m.; committee members noted the council may discuss the item further and may or may not pull it for debate. The committee's vote Monday was explicitly a recommendation to the Common Council, not a final local policy change.","The Protection & Policy Committee voted 2-2 on a motion to refer a resolution opposing conversion therapy to staff, forwarding the item to the Common Council without a committee recommendation amid ongoing state litigation.","actionData","errors"]
