[11:24] of where is ready where is ready
kilowatt uh little progress. We got one
[11:29] fixture added on Treymore. They did it.
They never told us they did it. Uh
[11:34] Northcliffe where they were supposed to
be completely done but somehow missed
[11:37] one. We put in another work request for
another fixture. Um kind of going on a
[11:43] little different track today in regards
to First Energy. had a call this
[11:47] afternoon from a resident on Wo Avenue
about the power going on and off
[11:52] constantly about 10 11 times last night.
Please report these things directly to
[11:57] First Energy. Um it sounds like almost
like Lakewood where they always had
[12:02] problems with power flickering in and
off. I actually attended their meeting
[12:06] out Lakewood Civic Auditorium.
Even the people from First Energy said
[12:10] report every instance. So, just be kind
of every time it flickers, get on the
[12:16] phone and call it in or do an email.
Just report it. Just be a pain to them.
[12:22] Um, two other things. A little bit later
this afternoon, a little bit before this
[12:27] meeting, I learned uh that Fran Barrett,
wife of Regis Barrett, has passed away
[12:32] this afternoon. Uh, Regis was a council
person for Brooklyn and a longtime just
[12:37] integral part of Brooklyn. And also my
condolences to the family and friends of
[12:42] Ir Bogner. Uh she passed a few weeks
ago. She was a super super friendly nice
[12:47] lady that lived lived at the end of IRA.
Her husband was a firefighter John
[12:52] Barnar. And that concludes my report.
>> Thank you, Councilman Mosley.
[12:58] » Good evening. Thank you, Council
President. Um, I'd like to start my
[13:01] report tonight just as Councilman
Siltritz did by thanking those who voted
[13:05] this past general election, either by
voting early, voting by mail, or voting
[13:10] at your polling station on voting day. I
appreciate those who voiced their
[13:15] opinion at the ballot box. Uh, tonight
is also the second reading of our
[13:19] capital improvement budget. I always go
out of state to visit family for the
[13:24] Thanksgiving holiday and I will not be
here when I expect there to be a vote
[13:28] next next meeting. Um I did want to
publicly thank the directors for their
[13:33] input during the budget session and
state that I do support the budget. Um
[13:38] lastly, tomorrow, November 11th, is
Veterans Day. I would like to thank all
[13:42] of our servicemen and women who have
served our country and wish them a happy
[13:45] Veterans Day. And that concludes my
report.
[13:47] » Thank you, Councilman Barowski.
Thank you. Good evening, Brooklyn. I as
[13:53] well wanted to thank all of the
residents that came out this past
[13:56] Tuesday and voted in our local
elections. Be it on election day or if
[14:00] you voted early, thank you.
Congratulations are in order to all of
[14:04] those that won their respective seats.
And a big thank you to all of those that
[14:08] ran along with us. Local politics is
important and it's welcoming to see
[14:13] residents looking to make a difference.
looking forwards to continuing the work
[14:17] that must be done to ensure that
Brooklyn and its residents thrive. And a
[14:21] happy Veterans Day goes out to all of
Brooklyn's veterans and all the veterans
[14:26] we call family and friends, including
Adam and Benjamin Browski. Also, happy
[14:32] birthday, Ben. And a happy birthday to
the United States Marines. A big thank
[14:36] you goes out to all of our veterans. And
that concludes my report.
[14:41] » Thank you, Councilman Tansky.
>> Thank you. Good evening. I would like to
[14:46] congratulate Annie Selhertz, Aaron
Barowski, and Kathleen Pooie on their
[14:50] re-election to Brooklyn City Council.
Also, congratulations to Kelly Crawl,
[14:55] and Jason Hubble on their re-election to
the Brooklyn City School Board. Special
[14:59] thank you to all the veterans who served
our country as we honor and celebrate
[15:02] them on Veterans Day tomorrow. That
concludes my report.
[15:06] » Thank you, Councilman Grodic.
>> Thank you. Um, I'd also like to express
[15:12] my thanks to the veterans um who have
served their families who also uh give a
[15:20] lot of themselves and also active
military right now. Um, I know in
[15:26] Brooklyn we have many, especially young
active military. Um, there are always in
[15:33] my thoughts, especially as I watch news,
it isn't an easy time to serve into in
[15:38] the military and it must be very
difficult. I'm a mom, so I will say it
[15:44] especially for their mothers. Um,
so they're always in my thoughts, but
[15:49] especially around Veterans Day. Um, I
also would like to thank Mr. Regguzz. I
[15:56] have a suggestion for retirement. I
think you could write city finance
[16:03] simplified.
I'm not sure it would be a best seller.
[16:07] Um, but it it would be a good read. I
appreciate you making it simple for
[16:13] those of us who don't have a deep
understanding of city finances. So,
[16:19] thank you very much.
>> Thank you very much. I do must admit
[16:22] that I have Kevin Ber edit it for me.
So, thank you Kevin.
[16:29] » Um,
and uh, finally, I would also like to
[16:33] congratulate not only the local
candidates who who won their seats, but
[16:39] also to those who ran. Um, it is
difficult to run for any election. Um,
[16:46] local elections can be just as difficult
as state or national because you are
[16:52] expected to get out and knock on
people's doors every day for weeks on
[16:57] end. So, congratulations to those who
persevered through the election cycle
[17:03] and it is so important to vote locally.
So, thank you to those um voters who
[17:09] also voted with us. And that concludes
my report.
[17:12] » Thank you, Councilman Coyle. Thank you,
Council President. Uh, good evening. Uh,

Connecting and Belonging Commission
[17:18] meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,
November 18th at 6 PM in the city hall
[17:22] community room. All are welcome to
attend. And then, like my fellow council
[17:26] people, I want to extend um heartfelt
gratitude to all who have served in the
[17:30] United States Armed Forces. As we know,
Veterans Day is tomorrow, and on
[17:33] Veterans Day, we honor the courage,
sacrifice, and steady commitment to our
[17:36] veterans and their families. Uh, your
service safeguards the freedoms we
[17:39] enjoy, and our community is better
because of you. to our veterans who live
[17:43] or work here in Brooklyn, to the
families who support them, and to our
[17:46] city employees who have worn the
uniform. Thank you. I'd encourage all
[17:49] residents to take a moment tomorrow to
reach out to a veteran, attend a cere
[17:52] ceremony if you're able to, and reflect
on the debt of thanks we owe. And this
[17:56] concludes my report. Thank you.
>> Thank you. I'd like to offer my personal
[18:00] condolences to the family of longtime
resident Irma Bognar. Um Irma, as
[18:05] Councilman Sertz mentioned, was the
widow of retired firefighter John
[18:10] Bognar. Irma was very well known to many
in Brooklyn as a good neighbor and
[18:15] friend, and she was also a very talented
seamstress who helped many residents
[18:20] with their sewing needs. She was very
bright, had a quick wit, and just a
[18:25] wonderful sense of humor. She lived a
full and joyful life, passing at the age
[18:30] of 95 on her husband John's birthday. U
may her memory be a blessing. And my
[18:35] condolences also to the Barrett family
on the passing of Fran Barrett. I didn't
[18:40] know that. So, thanks um Andy for
sharing that.
[18:44] Um council had a budget meeting last
Monday, November 3rd at 6:00 p.m. The
[18:49] focus was on the general fund. Um our
agenda was as follows. Uh 2025 general
[18:55] fund projection revenue commitments, the
2026 general fund revenue and
[19:01] commitments, general fund financial
forecast updates, key takeaways and
[19:06] going forward. And again, thank you um
to Mr. Reguz for all the preparation.
[19:12] Um, we do appreciate the work that goes
into it.
[19:15] I would like to express my heartfelt
thanks to the residents of Brooklyn for
[19:19] their support in the recent election.
I'm deeply honored to have earned the
[19:23] opportunity to continue to serve you on
council. Your trust and confidence
[19:28] really mean a great deal to me and I
will continue to work hard on behalf of
[19:32] our community. I'd also like to
recognize everyone who put their name
[19:36] forward to run for office. It takes
courage, commitment, and a genuine love
[19:40] of community to step into public
service. Congratulations to Councilman
[19:45] Tansky, Sultz, and Barowski on your
re-elections. I look forward um to
[19:50] working with you in the next term. And
congratulations also to um the reelected
[19:56] or the reelected and retained school
board member, Kelly Crawl and Jason
[20:00] Hubble. Um, welcome this evening to Mary
Shriber, the manager of um, the Brooklyn
[20:05] branch of Kyhoga County Public Library.
We appreciate you being here. Um, just a
[20:11] reminder that Monday, November 17th at 6
p.m. we have our training on the new
[20:17] board docs and um, if everyone could
just please make sure they review the
[20:21] information um that Dana had sent out to
us, it would be a help.
[20:27] Uh tomorrow is Veterans Day, a day set
aside to recognize the men and women
[20:31] who've served in our armed forces. To
our veterans here in Brooklyn and across
[20:36] the nation, thank you. Your service,
courage, and sacrifice have protected
[20:41] our freedoms and strengthened the
foundation of our democracy. Whether you
[20:46] served in times of conflict or peace
here at home or overseas, your
[20:52] commitment to something greater than
yourselves reminds us what true service
[20:56] means. Here in our small but proud
community, we are very fortunate to have
[21:01] many veterans among us. Our neighbors,
co-workers, family members, and friends.
[21:06] Their quiet strength and continued
contributions to our city enrich us
[21:11] every day. Let us also remember the
families of our veterans who serve in
[21:16] their own way, supporting their loved
ones, enduring long separations, and
[21:21] helping them transition back to civilian
life. As a council and as a community,
[21:26] may we continue to support our veterans,
not just on this day, but throughout the
[21:31] year, by ensuring access to resources,
by showing our gratitude, and keeping
[21:37] their stories alive for future
generations. To all who have served,
[21:41] thank you for your dedication, your
bravery, and your love of country. We
[21:45] are deeply grateful. And that completes
my report. We'll move on to the mayor's
[21:49] report.
>> Thank you. Uh in honor of Veterans Day
[21:52] tomorrow, uh city hall in all city
buildings will be closed. Uh however, on
[21:56] Wednesday at 8:30 a.m., we will have a
Veterans Day breakfast over at the uh
[22:01] senior center. All are welcome to and
encouraged to attend. There we will
[22:04] share a breakfast together and also
honor those who are so needed to be
[22:08] honored. Following that, we will have a
coffee with the mayor where I'll give
[22:11] updates on what's going on around the
city and of course answer any questions
[22:14] that anyone may have. But as many have
already said, we are very grateful for
[22:18] our veterans and I will echo those
sentiments. Couple of updates on what's
[22:21] going on in the city of Brooklyn. Uh we
continue the planning phase of our
[22:25] recreation center nitorium upgrade. As
it currently stands, we will be well
[22:30] within the budget for this project,
which council set uh during our capital
[22:33] budget work session uh last year. The
anticipated start date is still March
[22:37] 2026 and they hope to have things
wrapped up in January of 2027. Uh the
[22:43] Veterans Memorial Park upgrade
continues. The pavilion work is almost
[22:46] done. It's really starting to take shape
over there. So even though it's cold and
[22:49] snowy outside, I would encourage
residents to take a look at it. Um it
[22:52] looks beautiful and by this time next
year, it'll all be housed and it'll be
[22:55] warm inside because there's going to be
heaters in there. Uh the master plan
[22:58] citywide survey is now closed. Uh the
milling that was sent out a couple of
[23:02] weeks ago was a huge success. we saw our
partic participation numbers increase
[23:06] dramatically. Uh so thank you to the
residents who took the time to complete
[23:09] that survey as we continue uh the
planning for the city of Brooklyn in the
[23:13] future. Uh the currently the county
planning commission is compiling that
[23:16] data and we're set to meet later this
year where they'll present that. Once we
[23:21] have that data, of course, we'll show
share it with council and the rest of
[23:23] the city as we endeavor to update our uh
master plan for 2025. Uh the town homes
[23:29] that we've been discussing for the last
couple of years now, uh that work is
[23:32] underway. They've cleared away the trees
that need to be cleared and the grading
[23:35] work has begun. Uh they're now working
on all the logistics for that and we
[23:39] would anticipate seeing buildings coming
out of the ground uh when the weather
[23:42] breaks in the spring. Uh the Brock
Memorial Park is the last of our parks
[23:46] to receive an upgrade. The old equipment
has been removed and the new equipment
[23:50] is being installed. That installation
should be complete sometime around
[23:53] Thanksgiving.
And then the last piece of the Memphis
[23:57] Road Diet is finally complete. the
signal service installed the final turn
[24:00] arrow uh going into the library left
