| | 3. | | Communication from the Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections relating to the Milwaukee Type 1 juvenile facility.
Minutes note: Ms. Kari Beier, Dept. of Justice introduced Ms. Nikia Morton and Mr. Lance Horozewski. Many of the staff members are newer to their roles. Mr. Horozewski said the facility four hours away from Milwaukee in Irma, Wisconsin will transition to a fully adult facility and the new facility under discussion will serve Milwaukee youth. Its name will be Southeast Regional Care Center for Youth. There will be a music room, gym, day rooms and rooms will be singles with each room having a window with a study area and storage area. Rooms can be personalized by mounting letters from home. There will be learning labs with qualified teachers. It is scheduled to open in late 2026 and the first round of staff will be hired later this year. The proposed completion building date is March 2026 and after that is when youth will begin transitioning to this facility; updates will be provided relating to occupancy permits and transfer details. The focus is on rehabilitation, education and career development; not punitive. They have had some partners in the community who have reached out to serve as support to the youth in the facility.
Crimes committed by the youth range from armed robbery to sexual offenses to battery as well as other offenses. The most prevalent offense is armed robbery and the second is operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent. Supervision and services will be provided by Milwaukee County and some youth will be transitioning to their family homes, group homes, assisted housing or other housing options; the DOJ works to connect them with needed supportive services. Mr. Erdmann asked if this facility will be providing security for unruly visitors to the facility (MPD will need to be called). This facility is small - only 32 youth and they plan to have partnerships with the youths' families and intake is only one day a week. Family visits are scheduled and family therapy is part of the program. Youth stay an average of 10 months. They also detailed the therapies used during the youths' stay. One of the biggest gaps is in family/parent engagement/, so they want to work on increasing that. They are exciting about being able to partner with local services and experts. | | | |

| | 4. | | Discussion and possible vote on OG's on Brown Deer located at 8531 W. Brown Deer. Rd.
Minutes note: No one present on this item.
Timothy Stotts now present on his cell phone as his computer audio not working. His goal is to create a nice atmosphere for customers ages 35+. He has three chefs with different cultural specialties and they are going to use the space to hold events such as repasts, weddings and receptions. They are aiming for good food in a good atmosphere and then go home early. The closing time will be midnight. He also operates a food establishment on Fond du Lac. At OG's, he'll be serving soul food, Caribbean and Mexican food with a capacity of 166. Ms. Upshaw was concerned about security with all the other existing establishments in the area and if there has been an attempt to coordinate security. He has hired security for each door, for a total of 6 people and there are 20 off-street parking spaces and customers will be restricted to parking in those locations. They will be selling alcohol and be open noon to midnight. He anticipates opening late July and he would like to have a soft opening for the Blues Festival, if that works out (provide air conditioning and non-alcoholic drinks if he's not officially open yet). The age requirement is 30 and up (but families would be permitted even if some individuals are under 30). He added 16 more cameras and they are using ID scanners so they will know who is in the building.
Dr. Brookshire moved, seconded by Ms. Kaur, for approval. There were no objections. | | | |

| | 5. | | Introduction and possible vote on Nash Auto Service, LLC at 8045 N. 76th St.
Minutes note: Mr. Mohammad Aisha and Ms. Faiza Kharoufeh present on this item. Ms. Kharoufeh's nephew is opening up the shop; he has been working on auto repair since he was 16. He only needs a BOZA permit and occupancy permit. The person running the business will be the nephew while his aunt is also providing some financial support. There was an existing business and they will be located in the middle of the plaza. The prior business was also auto-related so there are already existing lifts and provisions for removal of the oil. All repair work will be done inside and stored vehicles will be kept in a gated area in back.
Mr. Sandhawalia moved, seconded by Dr. Brookshire, for approval. There were no objections.
