Police recommended denial based on prior citations, a record of a revoked license for the same applicants, and an outstanding balance related to prior violations.

The nut graf: Lieutenant and staff summarized the Police Department’s memo showing repeated citations and prior revocation; the committee voted to deny the application and directed the item to Common Council for final action on Aug. 5.

Police said one applicant listed on the Tulip Spa application had been found guilty of multiple spa‑related violations from 2020 through 2024 and that another applicant still owed roughly $1,500 to the city. The police memo, read for the committee, noted earlier revocations and warnings and recommended the committee follow prior action to deny the license. The presenting staff member noted that the application’s answers about prior suspensions/revocations and convictions were incorrect on the form.

An applicant spoke to the committee and said some citations were issued to people who worked at or rented space in the establishment and described paying fines and closing operations when required; the applicant said she had owned buildings and rented to others and asked for another opportunity. The lieutenant and staff explained that the ordinance requires the committee to consider citations and prior revocations that involve the named applicants, regardless of whether those incidents occurred at the same physical address.

Committee members discussed residency requirements and prior council actions. One member said she would “stand by my decision I made in December” to deny; another made the motion to deny, the motion was seconded, and the committee voted to deny. The committee’s action will be sent to Common Council for final approval on Aug. 5.

The committee also received an informational report from the police summarizing recent liquor and massage‑establishment violations and referrals; the report showed no liquor violations in the July 7–July 28 period and listed disturbance referrals at several establishments that had been handled cooperatively. Staff said a draft of proposed ordinance edits for massage establishments is being prepared and requested that committee members submit suggested edits by the next meeting; staff expected to return an ordinance draft in September for committee consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Protection & Policy 7-28-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee denied a massage establishment license application for Tulip Spa and reviewed police enforcement data and a pending ordinance redraft; police recommended denial of the Tulip Spa application based on prior violations and outstanding fines.","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},6149949,"Committee delays decision on excess-animal permit after owner agrees to fence repairs and training",1259,1753000,3012000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5509840-0dff5beb53271c714ac9bc550f99ab74&start=1753&end=3012","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5509840-0dff5beb53271c714ac9bc550f99ab74/thumbnail_1753000.jpg","/articles/6149949/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-delays-decision-on-excess-animal-permit-after-owner-agrees-to-fence-repairs-and-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6149949-c2b9f2cc5918d561ab95e17e3270d076/orig.mp4?Expires=1775948548&Signature=LctHHfLu9wzk3wT4S-HqABHAGw2-JZi8GpqGhOXTIa4HGM1qGMHGbaYKZKxlJ3AoR5OW~KsymJfde0A3RyBU-9YPo15yt3u0Xgd-PDPqZeiVmbYCy26OiOvOCfFiOudCoVI2LnhZlD2UEbPfJviQ6QxV3VgtMHUmL97MGTpNUi8z5-cIpcVYZExLNY2GcWzVSGA0nitw1lQbUqQmvpJ3aXN7WwQNkF8~2xMkutRFrc2dcyPPbClSlxIAoACmdap~D91D-5ENurr6AVK8lDvAoa~MJb6ofwvoKM67dIe4I5-mMLNjCbSztMtOUwlttoSpHds5DpgdX7SsEGjPa0qyqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Protection Policy Committee on July 28 voted to hold consideration of an excess‑animal permit for 917 Belv Avenue until its September 22 meeting while police and building inspections verify repairs and conditions at the property. The committee approved the hold after hearing neighbor letters, a police summary of complaints, and testimony from the property owner.

The nut graf: officer reports and neighbor letters described concerns about excessive barking, prior aggression and a dog bite; the petitioner said the bite did not break skin and that she has since scheduled training and made temporary repairs to the fencing while pursuing permanent repairs.

Lieutenant (presenting Officer Mavis’s findings) told the committee that Officer Mavis recommended denial after receiving three objection letters citing excessive barking and concerns about aggression and after a reported dog bite in May. The lieutenant said the bite victim attended urgent care and that vaccination records had been provided by the owner.

The property owner, Stacy Rumpz, said she adopted three dogs about a year earlier and did not realize Green Bay’s two‑dog limit required a permit for a third dog. Rumpz said she and her family have begun repairs to the yard barrier and added temporary clips to the gate; she stated she has a trainer visiting Aug. 5 and a veterinary appointment Aug. 13. Rumpz said her big dog, Parker, “burrowed underneath the gate” and nipped a neighbor while the neighbor walked to his car and did not wait for the owner’s request to hold on. Rumpz called the incident a “nip” and said the skin was not broken.

Neighbors submitted letters, including one from James Taylor (a neighbor and Rouge Management representative) that supported the household and said he had no prior problems during six years living upstairs. Police said they had no recorded CAD calls for barking in the area and that the barking complaints appeared in the letters submitted by neighbors.

Committee members and staff focused on the fence condition: staff confirmed the length of fence at the property is less than 50 linear feet and therefore does not require a building permit, but agreed the city would follow up to ensure the fence is put in good repair. The owner said temporary measures have been taken and that she intends to pursue a permanent fix but had been delayed by unrelated financial losses and planned other home repairs.

Action taken: the committee moved to hold the application until the Sept. 22 meeting, with police and inspection staff instructed to inspect the property and report back. If the inspectors confirm the fence and other corrective measures are complete and the police have no further complaints, the committee will revisit the permit request on Sept. 22. The motion passed by voice vote.

Less critical details: the owner said family members have autism-spectrum conditions and are working with therapists on documentation and training; the owner said the dogs are bonded to family members and she wants to keep them.","The committee agreed July 28 to hold action on an excess-animal permit request at 917 Belv Avenue until Sept. 22 so police and inspections staff can verify fence repairs, training and other conditions after a dog bite and neighbor complaints were documented.",{"_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},6149954,"Committee backs city-branded rental search platform; will send MOU to council",1645,125000,1770000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5509840-0dff5beb53271c714ac9bc550f99ab74&start=125&end=1770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5509840-0dff5beb53271c714ac9bc550f99ab74/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6149954/Green-Bay/Brown-County/Wisconsin/Committee-backs-city-branded-rental-search-platform-will-send-MOU-to-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6149954-70e88282c659d5d4a8944f8058df6322/orig.mp4?Expires=1775948548&Signature=SPFRzppHhG7corlq7Nm2UDF-JfIg-sfpJYfAoAEQeW2Yx42aXxMmSG5oGEV1NK~LXlpNqBv9vdabT0AsP0v8LXXTXwj-4YtBcZdZ5wiPoonf-B8689m7KIfBlinZL1ztA1NRfPpZTutIlSMJuAvf7WLzSrnYZewFlNHuv~~Zhux3NdYNL5RWI72aSj4rgEWyaZoA4ZNtQzMp8POSFJHbRnuLwIVD1k9Alry1Xd4Q3rsfC9GmyohfEXDfBabEU~6Jtwe1bnjZ1ueXbWj15X2rj1TivvrghsZ7zo3SKh366KHlDAYs8iP~gADYOsVGu-~MCRFja2BUWHJ7FGy8aRdQzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Protection Policy Committee voted July 28 to recommend that the Common Council consider a memorandum of understanding with Citywide Software LLC to host a city-branded, searchable database of rental housing available in Green Bay at no cost to the city. The committee approved the recommendation by voice vote and will forward the item to the Common Council for final action.

The proposal, presented by Jeremy Schmidt and Dominic Anzalone of Citywide (the company founders), would place a city-branded housing search engine on a Green Bay domain and use Citywide as the vendor behind the platform. “We’re asking the city to launch a site in the city’s name,” Dominic Anzalone said, explaining the model used in other Wisconsin cities.

The nut graf: proponents said the platform is intended to increase the number of rental listings visible to renters—especially affordable and mid‑market units—and to make those listings free to smaller landlords and to government‑subsidized properties. Citywide representatives said the platform has increased inventory in other cities and that its costs are covered by charging larger property owners a subscription fee.

Citywide said properties in buildings with fewer than 20 units and government‑subsidized housing would be listed at no charge; larger buildings would be asked to pay a fee to appear. “Small landlords pay nothing, government‑subsidized properties pay nothing,” Anzalone said; he added that larger buildings are charged to subsidize the platform. Presenters described sample pricing (a $500 monthly fee cited as an upper range for larger buildings) and claimed the platform has been adopted in about 10 Wisconsin cities and can substantially increase local listings compared with national aggregator sites.

Committee members and staff asked how the city would be tied to the platform, how data and code‑enforcement links would work, and what safeguards exist against scams. Schmidt said Citywide would operate the software behind the scenes while the site would carry the city logo and domain; he said the company vets listings and does not include open public comment forums. A staff member from Community Economic Development told the committee the department had previewed the platform and recommended it as a tool for renters and for data to inform housing policy.

Alder Eckstine raised a common concern: the site’s usefulness depends on broad landlord participation. Anzalone said Citywide’s approach is to work directly with property owners and to adjust pricing in markets where needed to secure participation; he said the company aims to enroll roughly nine out of 10 landlords in a market.

Committee members asked staff to include links to other city implementations in the meeting packet and discussed whether a demonstration for Common Council would be helpful. The committee approved forwarding the MOU recommendation to council and asked staff to provide sample links and to coordinate any demo for the council meeting.

Less critical details: presenters estimated national advertising costs on aggregator sites and provided urban examples from Kenosha and Milwaukee; those figures were described by presenters as contextual examples of how Citywide is funded in other markets.","A committee approved recommending to the Common Council a memorandum of understanding with Citywide Software LLC to host a city-branded searchable rental housing database at no cost to Green Bay, with staff to provide links and a possible demonstration to council.","actionData","errors"]
