Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Racine public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Weidner monthly department reporting and P-card disclosure
Alder Weidner wants every department reporting monthly with full invoice and P-card disclosure — the committee tabled it, citing an estimated $30,000-a-year labor cost.
Claims disallowances
Five damage claims against the city — from Rockett, White, Grange Integrity (Thomas), Ransom, and Kraftzenk — were recommended for disallowance, meaning claimants would have to sue if they want to pursue them.
Aldermanic phones
Alder Weidner said the public has complained about alders scrolling during meetings, but no formal rules were proposed. Alders pushed back — some use phones for accessibility, maps, or statutes — and the item was filed.
