Kenosha board approves two offender residency requests; minutes accepted
Summary
At its Jan. 9 meeting the Kenosha Offender Residency Board approved the minutes from Nov. 14, 2024, and granted residency approvals for two applicants, one with a condition requiring proof of enrollment or wait-list status for treatment.
The Kenosha Offender Residency Board on Jan. 9, 2025, voted to approve the minutes from its Nov. 14, 2024, meeting and granted residency permission to two applicants: Randy Grosch for 351150 Ninth Street and Ricardo Aguirre for 1809 Sixtieth Street.
The approvals matter because the board reviews and approves where registered offenders may live within city limits, and can place conditions on residency related to treatment and supervision.
Minutes from Nov. 14, 2024, were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. The panel then heard residency requests from two applicants. The board considered Randy Grosch’s application after a brief closed-session review of questions about his file and the proposed location. Grosch told the board he moved into the residence about a month or two before December and said his parole officer had told him he could move because he needed housing and help taking medication. A provider who identified themselves as a clinician and as operating adult family homes said the facility is adult-only, provides 24-hour supervision and transportation, and that “we offer substance abuse counseling.”
After returning to the public record the board approved Grosch’s request contingent on the provider/agent supplying the city attorney’s office with a letter showing Grosch is on a treatment wait list and stating the anticipated start date for his treatment. The board also instructed Grosch to provide a copy to his parole officer and to notify the city attorney’s office once treatment begins. When the board asked Grosch the spelling of his last name, he confirmed it as G-R-O-S-C-H.
The board also approved Ricardo Aguirre to reside at 1809 Sixtieth Street. Aguirre said he moved to that address about a week before Thanksgiving after release from prison, that the property contains three small studio units upstairs and a three-bedroom unit on the lower level, and that he is living with his sister and her children with permission from his agent. The board approved the address and reminded him that if he moves again he must return to the board for permission.
Board members closed with routine instructions: approved applicants will receive a written approval letter they can provide to parole or probation authorities. No formal vote tallies by individual member name were recorded on the public transcript.
