The Green Bay Offender Residency Board on an unspecified date heard a full docket of residency appeals and denied two requests while approving several others, repeatedly urging applicants to complete offender‑specific treatment and stay in close contact with supervising agents.

Board members voted to deny Keith Bushey’s request to reside at 1759 Shawano Avenue after members said he had not completed the offender treatment the board expects for someone with his conviction history. Unidentified Speaker 1 told Bushey, “You are not approved to reside at that address at this time,” and the board advised him to pursue treatment and reapply when circumstances change.

The board also denied the request of Israel Nazario Veliz to reside at 1651 LK Lane #6. Lieutenant Allen of the Green Bay Police Department summarized criminal complaints that, according to the file, described multiple incidents separated by about a year; board members said Veliz had not clearly completed the recommended treatment and moved to deny the appeal.

By contrast, the board approved a series of address‑specific and group‑home placements after reviewing applicants’ supervision status, treatment engagement and community supports. Approvals included:

- Randall Tainter — approved to reside at 1533 Morrow Street (address specific). Board members noted recent stability and recommended continued treatment and supervision compliance.

- Jack Consenbach — approved to reside at 1104 South Bridal, De Pere (address specific). Supporters at the meeting described his community involvement with local churches.

- Michael Villers Jr. — approved to reside at 1620 Forest Glen Drive at Genuine Hearts, a staffed 24/7 group home. Monica Terminia, a care manager for Genuine Hearts, told the board the provider offers round‑the‑clock staffing, medical‑management support and coordination with probation officers.

- Bailey Scrivens — approved to reside at 1620 Forest Glen Drive (address specific). The applicant’s court‑appointed guardian and the provider described supervision and supports appropriate to his documented learning and developmental needs.

- Jean (Gene) Schussler — approved to reside at 1301 Arboni Drive (address specific). Members noted his current AODA engagement and recovery supports.

- Ryan Zellner — approved to reside at 2120 Van Duren St., Apt. F (address specific). The board cited a letter from a therapist and sustained participation in Survivor Offender Treatment (SOT) and other supports.

Across cases the board consistently separated three things in its deliberations: factual review of convictions (often confirmed or summarized by Lieutenant Allen), assessment of current treatment and supervision, and the suitability of the requested housing (address‑specific or provider‑based). Where the applicant was moving into a staffed group home with documented oversight (Genuine Hearts at 1620 Forest Glen Drive), members were more likely to approve; where applicants had not completed or consistently engaged in recommended treatment the board was more likely to deny or urge re‑application after treatment.

Votes were taken by voice on motions from board members; most decisions were moved, seconded and approved by “aye” voice votes. The board scheduled its next meeting for December 17 and adjourned.

What the board emphasized

Members repeatedly said they expect applicants to be engaged in and complete offender‑specific treatment or to have stable provider oversight before approval. Where applicants presented documented weekly treatment, a care manager for a staffed group home, or letters from treatment providers, the board expressed greater comfort granting address‑specific approvals or placements.

Next steps

Denied applicants were told they may reapply after addressing the board’s concerns (for example, completing recommended treatment). The board’s next meeting is scheduled for December 17.
