At its Aug. 3 meeting the Superior Common Council approved a slate of mayoral appointments, an amendment to the Billings Park Civic Center lease, multiple miscellaneous licenses, referral of claim #2111 to the liability claims committee, a Class B liquor license for Superior Bowling Center LLC (Superior Lanes), an improvements easement for 2222 East 5th Street, and an ordinance adding accessible parking zones on Lincoln Street.

The mayor nominated Dr. Saqib Mahmood to the Redevelopment Authority, Deanna Erickson to the Wisconsin Point Committee, Jerry Manion to the Board of Review, Jeff Longnecker and Donna Bergman to the Veil Service Commission, Nick Nelson to the Community Development Block Grant Advisory Board, Mary Klen to the Library Board, and Chad Matusiak to the LivClaims committee; the council approved the appointments on a voice vote.

On consent items, Finance Director Petz recommended approval of a Billings Park Civic Center lease amendment previously postponed from July 20; the council approved the amendment. Planning staff and City Attorney Perrell recommended approval of an improvements easement for 2222 East 5th Street; that motion passed. Councilor Ludwig moved and Councilor Bender seconded an ordinance amending accessible parking zones for Lincoln Street; the motion carried.

During general public comment, Mark Carlos of 1600 Callan Avenue urged the council to pursue mental-health funding announced at the state level and asked whether the city would seek recovery of public improvements made for a retail tenant that later closed.

The council adjourned with no further business.
