[0:06] OK. Are we ready?

[0:14] Good. I declare

[0:16] the meeting open. It's

[0:17] 2:01 PM and I'm asking

[0:19] Steph to do a

[0:20] roll call.

[0:23] Councilman Gresham.

[0:25] Here.

[0:29] Council member Haas.

[0:31] Here. Just in

[0:35] case,

[0:36] colleagues, I seem to be having

[0:38] trouble

[0:39] hearing you. I

[0:42] see Councilman

[0:44] Halverson nodding. Um,

[0:47] King. He is absent.

[0:51] Nobak.

[0:53] Here.

[0:55] Nolan.

[0:56] Present.

[0:58] Here.

[0:59] Turner?

[1:05] Councilman

[1:06] Turner just said he

[1:08] might be having

[1:08] difficulty with the sound,

[1:10] but he's on the screen.

[1:13] And then, Vitali?

[1:14] Here.

[1:15] And I see council member

[1:16] Gro.

[1:17] Yes, sorry. I

[1:18] also had technical

[1:19] problems.

[1:21] I'll just text in the

[1:22] chat to see if Councilman Turner can hear us

[1:24] .

[1:26] No, I can't hear you. Can you

[1:27] hear me?

[1:29] Yes.

[1:30] Well, at least

[1:31] we're halfway there

[1:32] .

[1:35] We have nine

[1:36] present, one

[1:37] absent.

[1:39] OK. Okay, then the

[1:44] next point is

[1:46] yes.

[1:50] this is point C. Um...If

[1:54] someone could tell

[1:55] Councilman Turner to

[1:56] post

[1:57] questions in the chat if there are any

[1:58] . We will

[1:59] try to pay

[2:00] attention to this. And then, um

[2:03] , point C would be...

[2:06] or rather, point number

[2:07] one, I'll let

[2:07] the secretary read

[2:08] it instead of

[2:09] doing it for

[2:10] him.

[2:11] Reconsideration of the

[2:13] Special Event Request

[2:15] and Temporary

[2:16] Expansion for Slingshot

[2:17] Bar, including eight

[2:18] events between

[2:20] September 29, 2026 and

[2:21] October 31, 2026 from 8:00

[2:22] a.m. to midnight at

[2:24] : 6325 West National

[2:25] Avenue. Applicant Marla

[2:26] Kuyner.

[2:28] Mayor Devine.

[2:30] Council member Haas.

[2:32] Yes, Mr. Mayor, it was I who

[2:34] asked for

[2:35] this matter to be reconsidered, and I

[2:37] believe that we have a

[2:38] very good

[2:38] proposal that was

[2:40] provided to us in

[2:40] writing

[2:42] as part of the

[2:43] document packages. This is a good

[2:47] compromise to, on the

[2:48] one hand, avoid

[2:50] problems with neighbors,

[2:51] whom we must

[2:52] respect, and on the other hand,

[2:53] support business. And

[2:57] I think this

[2:58] suggestion

[2:59] only applies to this

[3:00] specific situation.

[3:04] It does not set

[3:05] a precedent that

[3:06] would apply to

[3:07] other companies or

[3:09] allow work

[3:10] after 10:00 p.m., when

[3:11] quiet time occurs, using

[3:13] external

[3:14] amplified sound.

[3:19] Specifically, it is a

[3:19] special event

[3:21] associated with the

[3:28] city's major league baseball team. And this is significantly

[3:31] different from

[3:32] other outdoor events

[3:34] that

[3:35] other

[3:36] institutions or individuals may want to host. And I'll

[3:41] read it verbatim and

[3:42] make it my...

[3:43] proposal.

[3:48] My suggestion is to

[3:50] amend the

[3:51] clause so that

[3:52] at 10:00 PM or 1

[3:54] hour after

[3:55] the end of the game (

[3:56] whichever

[3:57] comes first), for

[3:58] Brewers playoff games

[4:00] , all street

[4:01] food and beverage sales cease, the

[4:05] Brewers merchandise truck closes, the

[4:07] Brewers dance crew ceases, and

[4:10] DJs and

[4:11] other street music ceases;

[4:12] however, the

[4:15] Brewers' television broadcast and audio would

[4:16] remain

[4:16] on for the remainder of the

[4:18] match. So, we

[4:22] turn off everything else on

[4:23] the street except the

[4:24] television

[4:25] broadcast and audio of the

[4:26] Brewers game until the

[4:29] game is over, allowing it

[4:30] after 10 p.m. This is my

[4:32] suggestion. I

[4:34] support.

[4:35] Okay, there is a suggestion

[4:36] and support, I

[4:37] believe it was

[4:38] Councilwoman Gresham.

[4:40] Yes.

[4:40] Good.

[4:41] Is

[4:42] there any

[4:43] discussion of this

[4:44] proposal?

[4:45] Mr. Mayor.

[4:46] Council member Weigel.

[4:49] Um, I just...just...it's

[4:50] only a problem with

[4:51] West

[4:52] Coast games. And the mayor...

[4:56] Excuse me, council member. I'll

[4:58] just kill you.

[4:59] Please turn off

[5:00] your microphones if you are not

[5:01] speaking so we

[5:02] can reduce the

[5:03] echo.

[5:05] Continue.

[5:07] So, the concern

[5:07] is

[5:08] West Coast games

[5:09] that could

[5:10] end late.

[5:11] Or

[5:11] extra

[5:12] innings games that can

[5:14] drag on very

[5:15] late. And I think I would

[5:17] just like to

[5:18] see, and I understand it will be

[5:19] October.

[5:21] Most likely, it wo

[5:23] n't be 20 degrees there at midnight or 11 pm

[5:25] . Um, I

[5:27] think the question is

[5:29] whether the big...I

[5:30] wasn't at the initial

[5:31] presentation. I was...I

[5:33] imagine there would be a

[5:35] big TV on the trailer.

[5:36] He will be in the parking lot.

[5:37] Is that correct? Okay, I

[5:40] see a nod from Marla, the

[5:41] applicant. I'm just

[5:45] wondering if we could

[5:47] do a hard

[5:48] stop at midnight,

[5:49] even if...how many

[5:50] people are still going to be

[5:51] there at midnight? Do you

[5:56] know if we...I

[5:57] understand that we don't

[5:58] know. And, to be honest

[5:59] , I remember

[6:01] 1982. The city just

[6:02] went crazy that

[6:03] weekend. So, yes, I

[6:04] support this. But I

[6:06] think this is a question for

[6:08] Councilmember Turner and

[6:09] ...Councilmember......

[6:15] as to what

[6:15] the residents of the area

[6:16] can tolerate in

[6:17] this matter...how

[6:18] late...what is too

[6:20] late for the neighbors?

[6:27] So, I guess I'll just

[6:28] chime in with my

[6:29] unsolicited advice

[6:31] , but I'm looking

[6:32] at the standings right now,

[6:33] and the Dodgers and the

[6:34] Padres are two

[6:35] teams that might

[6:37] be in the playoffs. Well, the

[6:39] Dodgers will be there, and the

[6:40] Padres, I think...I don't

[6:42] think they've

[6:43] secured a

[6:44] spot yet, but I could be

[6:44] wrong. But

[6:46] ultimately, I don't want to...

[6:49] just my

[6:50] concern about

[6:51] setting a limit

[6:52] is that

[6:53] if you have a game against the

[6:54] Dodgers, a team that

[6:55] everyone wants

[6:56] to beat, and if you

[6:58] set... I just

[6:59] think people need to

[7:00] understand that. And again

[7:02] , Aldermen

[7:04] Turner and Grolb, I will

[7:05] listen carefully to

[7:06] both of you, because this is your district.

[7:09] But if you have an

[7:10] exciting game, a seventh

[7:11] game of a series, or a

[7:12] late tie, the last thing

[7:14] you want to do

[7:15] is turn off the sound,

[7:16] even if it's too late

[7:18] . And it's not... I originally

[7:21] said it would

[7:22] be maybe 1 or 2 hours for the

[7:24] entire playoff series,

[7:26] give or take, but it would

[7:27] also be 1 or 2

[7:28] hours, maybe in

[7:30] how many years, since 1982

[7:32] ? I mean, it would be

[7:33] so rare

[7:35] and so

[7:36] unique that I'm

[7:36] just hesitant

[7:37] to put

[7:38] hard limits on it. I

[7:41] think and hope

[7:42] that most people in the

[7:44] community will appreciate this

[7:45] excitement and this special

[7:46] situation and what

[7:47] can happen. I

[7:50] mean, it's all

[7:52] just speculation right now, but

[7:53] so, at this point, the

[7:54] only hard

[7:55] limit would be 2:00

[7:56] a.m. because of the permit to

[7:58] use the

[7:58] premises, unless

[8:00] it's Friday or

[8:01] Saturday the 30th, right? Do I

[8:03] understand correctly that

[8:04] their permission to

[8:05] use the

[8:06] premises is

[8:06] tied to the

[8:07] liquor license?

[8:09] They should be

[8:10] closed at that time anyway.

[8:12] That is, no one will be able to

[8:13] drink drinks

[8:14] inside.

[8:14] I think so, of course.

[8:16] Then the end would be

[8:18] at 2:00 or 2:30. That is,

[8:19] if the

[8:21] district representatives don't mind. And

[8:24] the screen will be

[8:24] installed at the

[8:25] south end of

[8:26] the parking lot facing

[8:27] north?

[8:31] I can turn it over to

[8:32] Marley Poyntinger

[8:33] if she wants to

[8:34] comment on that.

[8:36] Yes, I can show you the

[8:38] plan. Wait a second.

[8:43] Some of them will fall

[8:44] on school days. I

[8:45] suppose so.

[8:46] And some evenings it

[8:47] may rain when

[8:48] people don't want to be

[8:50] outside. And you never

[8:51] know. It might be

[8:52] cold.

[8:54] Yes, definitely. Ahem.

[9:00] Wait a minute.

[9:02] Oh, is that a 10-foot screen?

[9:04] Oh, I understand. It is

[9:05] installed at an

[9:06] angle. OK.

[9:07] Yes. So,

[9:08] aimed at our

[9:09] building. And again

[9:15] , the proposal

[9:17] is that

[9:18] all amplified sound,

[9:19] except for the

[9:20] match broadcast,

[9:21] will stop at 10:00 p.m.

[9:22] And then you know, as soon as

[9:30] the game

[9:31] ends, the

[9:32] broadcast sound also

[9:33] turns off. I

[9:38] agree with the mayor

[9:39] because I think we

[9:40] might have some

[9:41] unhappy customers

[9:43] , you know, it's the

[9:50] ninth inning and I

[9:51] have to turn off

[9:53] the TV. You know,

[9:57] we're going to miss the

[9:58] last two innings

[9:59] or something. This is my

[10:00] biggest fear. And from what

[10:05] I heard from a

[10:06] Brewers representative

[10:07] , if there is any kind of

[10:08] hard limit on

[10:09] broadcast time, they

[10:11] simply will not be

[10:11] playing the game in

[10:18] West Allis. They'll

[10:21] have a party in

[10:22] another community, most likely

[10:24] downtown

[10:24] Milwaukee, Harley-

[10:26] Davidson Park, or somewhere

[10:27] like that, instead of

[10:28] going to

[10:29] West Allis.

[10:35] Marlo, let me

[10:36] ask you, Mr. Mayor,

[10:37] how many

[10:38] parties like this...Are you

[10:39] saying it's going to be an

[10:40] exclusive

[10:42] Brewers party? Won't they

[10:45] hold a few of

[10:46] these throughout the

[10:47] area?

[10:51] They will hold

[10:52] a maximum of eight at the

[10:53] Slingshot Bar, only

[10:54] during away playoff games

[10:56] . And I...I don't know

[11:04] exactly what games they'll

[11:04] choose for "Slingshot,"

[11:06] but they'll bring

[11:07] their truck with a

[11:08] screen. They only have

[11:11] one such truck,

[11:12] from which

[11:13] the screen unfolds. They will bring

[11:15] their truck with

[11:15] branded merchandise.

[11:17] They will bring their

[11:18] support group, as they

[11:19] did on September 5th.

[11:22] As far as I understand,

[11:23] they can't be in

[11:24] multiple places

[11:25] at once due to

[11:26] limited resources.

[11:29] Truck? I guess I did

[11:31] n't quite understand.

[11:34] So this will be an

[11:35] exclusive

[11:36] Brewers party? She may

[11:40] or may not be with you

[11:41] every night, or

[11:42] will they move from

[11:44] place to place? Will

[11:47] it be at your place some nights

[11:48] and somewhere else on other nights?

[11:49] Yes, as far as I

[11:50] understand, that's right.

[11:51] Some nights at

[11:53] Slingshot, and others at

[11:54] other locations. And

[11:57] if all the games,

[11:58] say, start

[11:59] at 7:00 PM, then they

[12:01] won't be holding them at

[12:03] Slingshot at all. They won't

[12:04] take them

[12:05] anywhere. If there is a strict

[12:06] time limit.

[12:07] Even at midnight? A

[12:09] strict

[12:10] midnight restriction?

[12:11] Yes, because

[12:13] It's an inning, it's

[12:14] baseball. It's baseball, after all

[12:16] .

[12:16] Right.

[12:17] So even when

[12:18] the Brewers are gone, you're

[12:22] still

[12:22] going to have a

[12:23] party in the parking lot?

[12:26] And do

[12:28] you

[12:29] only use the parking lot on

[12:29] nights when Brewers

[12:30] games are broadcast there

[12:31] ?

[12:33] We will only be having a

[12:35] parking lot party on

[12:36] nights when there are

[12:39] Brewers-sponsored game viewings.

[12:40] Of course. So, it's

[12:42] a little...it's natural.

[12:44] This...this is natural.

[12:46] Even if they

[12:47] reach the final.

[12:50] As far as I understand,

[12:51] this is...

[12:51] What's the question?

[12:53] No...

[12:54] not necessarily for

[12:55] every Brewers game.

[12:58] Yes, that's right. And I think it's

[13:00] likely

[13:01] not going to be every

[13:02] Brewers game.

[13:03] Then it is a much smaller

[13:04] burden on the

[13:05] district.

[13:06] Yes.

[13:07] Oh, of course.

[13:08] Mere Divine, Mere Divine.

[13:13] Those are all my questions,

[13:14] and...

[13:15] Go ahead,

[13:16] Alderman Novak.

[13:17] Thank you. Although I

[13:19] support what

[13:21] Kevin said and I

[13:22] agree. Ahem. If you

[13:29] say this is a

[13:30] special case because the

[13:31] Brewers are in the playoffs, then

[13:32] next year, if

[13:34] they are in the playoffs

[13:35] and other institutions

[13:36] want to do

[13:37] something similar but

[13:38] unofficial, how do we

[13:39] justify denying

[13:40] them the same attention? And

[13:46] how do we justify

[13:48] giving them a

[13:48] special day?

[13:55] Alderman Novak,

[13:56] you have a very strong

[13:57] resonance when you

[13:58] speak. I do

[13:59] n't know why.

[14:00] Okay, just so you

[14:01] know if we're

[14:02] looking at you weirdly

[14:03] . It's okay

[14:06] .

[14:09] OK. Did you hear

[14:10] the question, Madam

[14:11] Alderman?

[14:13] It seems not.

[14:17] Yes. And, with your

[14:18] permission, Mr. Mayor.

[14:19] Continue.

[14:21] Yes, it's up to us to decide.

[14:25] We are happy

[14:25] to decide what is a

[14:26] precedent and what is not.

[14:30] And we can decide that

[14:32] this is not a precedent. This is a

[14:40] special event

[14:41] related to a

[14:43] major league professional sports team in our

[14:45] city that wants to

[14:46] host an event that

[14:47] adds entertainment

[14:48] value to our

[14:49] city. This is a bit

[14:57] different from a

[14:58] band that wants to

[15:00] play after 10pm. So

[15:04] yes, it's a slight

[15:05] difference that we

[15:06] can show to

[15:08] any other

[15:09] license holder and

[15:10] say that it's different.

[15:12] But it's still the same.

[15:14] They will think, “Well,

[15:15] I have the opportunity to

[15:16] earn extra

[15:17] income. I have

[15:17] something

[15:18] big happening, whether it's

[15:19] professional sports or

[15:20] another professional

[15:21] sport that wants to

[15:22] collaborate with them."

[15:24] I think we'll

[15:25] get the

[15:27] same resistance from them:

[15:28] "Well, you allowed

[15:29] them to do it so they could

[15:30] make money and

[15:31] have a cool event,

[15:32] why can't we?"

[15:34] Even if it is not

[15:35] licensed or

[15:36] authorized as

[15:37] in this case. I'm

[15:38] just worried about the

[15:39] resistance because I know we've

[15:40] been approached before

[15:42] about oat

[15:43] bars and other

[15:44] things, and we've

[15:45] been turned down. And they won't

[15:46] look at it

[15:47] from your perspective when

[15:48] you say, "well, it's

[15:49] brewery-approved, and

[15:50] that's cool." I think it's a

[15:52] really great

[15:53] concept. I

[15:54] like this idea.

[15:55] But I think that we, as

[15:56] aldermen, will get

[15:58] resistance from other places

[15:59] where they also want to do

[16:00] interesting and attractive

[16:01] things.

[16:04] OK.

[16:05] Alderman Devine.

[16:06] Alderman Grisham, and

[16:08] then Alderman

[16:09] Turner.

[16:15] Um, just to clarify a little bit

[16:16] , and Alderman

[16:17] Novak, I appreciate your

[16:19] argument, and that's something

[16:20] I was thinking about myself after

[16:21] talking to the lawyers,

[16:23] because sometimes our

[16:23] duty is to be, so to

[16:25] speak, the "police of

[16:26] justice," but

[16:27] I agree that this is a

[16:28] unique opportunity

[16:30] . If

[16:36] five

[16:37] other institutions do come forward, they

[16:38] will have the opportunity

[16:39] to be heard, and we

[16:40] will be able to make

[16:41] decisions based on

[16:42] that. I think it's

[16:45] worth remembering the

[16:46] uniqueness of this

[16:47] event, it's

[16:48] sponsored

[16:49] by a brewery, it's not

[16:50] some special

[16:51] privilege just because of

[16:52] that. Um, I fully

[16:58] support allowing

[16:59] any other

[17:00] business in our

[17:01] community to

[17:02] profit from the event,

[17:04] but at this point I

[17:05] really think the

[17:06] logistics of this

[17:07] event make sense. It

[17:15] will be a

[17:16] West Coast broadcast,

[17:17] it may go

[17:18] into extra innings, it

[17:20] may drag on into

[17:21] the night, and it will not be a

[17:22] regular occurrence, like

[17:23] , say, if Poly

[17:25] puts up a tent and

[17:26] does 30

[17:27] broadcasts over the

[17:28] summer. They are asking

[17:33] for one unique

[17:34] event. And I think we're going a little too far

[17:37] from a

[17:38] public

[17:39] safety perspective. I think we

[17:40] took into account all the nuances.

[17:42] I think the

[17:43] business owner does too. I think

[17:45] we are happy too. The

[17:47] legal department

[17:48] has studied the issue, and

[17:49] the alderman of this

[17:50] district has also communicated

[17:51] directly with

[17:52] his constituents.

[17:55] So, that's my opinion on

[17:57] this matter. I'm

[17:58] going to

[17:58] vote "yes".

[18:01] Of course, I supported

[18:02] this motion and would

[18:03] urge moving

[18:04] forward so they can

[18:05] hold this wonderful

[18:06] event. Thank you.

[18:08] Alderman

[18:10] Turner, if you

[18:11] can hear us, it's your turn.

[18:12] I hear you. Um, as you

[18:15] said, as

[18:16] Alderman Grisham said, I

[18:17] agree with that. I think

[18:19] we're looking at something that

[18:21] happened about 40 years ago.

[18:25] And if that's the case, then I'm

[18:26] sure that

[18:27] a situation like the Old Bar, where

[18:29] they wanted to do it

[18:30] every, you know,

[18:31] evening in the summer, is a

[18:32] completely different matter.

[18:35] If that were the case, we

[18:36] wouldn't need, uh

[18:38] , advice. There would just be

[18:39] rules that we

[18:40] set once and

[18:41] for all, and that would be the end of it

[18:42] . We have to

[18:43] make this decision. The

[18:44] only issue that

[18:46] concerns me is that,

[18:47] uh, the residents might

[18:48] be a little

[18:49] unhappy, and I

[18:50] think we can calm them down

[18:52] by explaining what's

[18:53] happening, why it's

[18:55] happening, and that it's

[18:56] not a permanent situation.

[18:58] Uh, the

[18:59] parking situation—that's

[19:00] the only thing that worries me a little bit

[19:02] , because there are few

[19:03] spaces, and the ones that are there, you, you use

[19:06] them for, uh, for a

[19:07] viewing party.

[19:09] And across the street there is,

[19:10] uh, uh, parking, but

[19:12] it, uh, can't be

[19:13] used.

[19:15] It is only for

[19:15] residents of

[19:16] apartment

[19:17] buildings. So just

[19:18] make sure we

[19:19] do it that way.

[19:21] Alderman Haas.

[19:24] Uh, Mayor Klein.

[19:25] Continue.

[19:28] Um, so I guess I'll

[19:29] just, uh, I guess

[19:31] I'll agree with

[19:32] Alderman Turner.

[19:35] I'm usually supportive of

[19:37] anything, I think

[19:38] this influx of people and the

[19:39] positive outcome

[19:40] for the 1st District—it's

[19:42] probably a net positive

[19:43] overall, um, and for the

[19:44] city as a whole, I

[19:45] think, you know, something

[19:47] that could happen eight

[19:48] times, and again,

[19:49] it's just a "maybe."

[19:50] Listen, this is not a

[19:51] guaranteed thing. I

[19:53] think the compromise

[19:54] reached, uh, with

[19:55] Alderman Haas, um,

[19:57] to, you know, tone everything down a little bit

[19:58] after

[19:59] 10 p.m. and just keep

[20:01] the broadcast, was a

[20:02] good compromise.

[20:03] Um, and I'm ready to

[20:04] take those

[20:05] phone calls

[20:06] with you, Ray.

[20:10] Okay, I see, Marla

[20:11] raised her hand.

[20:16] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um,

[20:18] Alderman Turner, I

[20:19] think you're right.

[20:22] I actually think

[20:23] parking is a bigger

[20:24] issue than sound,

[20:26] judging from the conversations I've

[20:27] already had with neighbors, and

[20:28] I have a few signatures

[20:30] from them regarding this

[20:31] that I've presented. I

[20:34] would like to

[20:34] suggest, um, well

[20:36] , I'm already working with

[20:37] my team to

[20:38] try to get a

[20:40] special

[20:41] Uber, um, and Lyft promo code for these

[20:42] events so that we can, uh

[20:43] , promote it

[20:45] with the brewers

[20:46] and in our

[20:47] messaging so that

[20:48] people are more willing to

[20:49] use

[20:50] rideshare

[20:51] when they come to

[20:52] this event. Um, but I would

[20:56] also like to

[20:56] know if

[20:57] any of you have

[20:58] the ability to, um,

[20:59] contact

[21:00] property owners in the

[21:02] area to

[21:02] provide

[21:03] additional

[21:04] parking spaces

[21:05] for these events. Whether it's

[21:11] Veterans across

[21:12] the street or, um, Pick 'n Save,

[21:13] or any of these

[21:14] locations, the Farmers

[21:15] Market, if they

[21:16] have any special

[21:18] parking resources,

[21:19] I would appreciate

[21:20] your help in

[21:21] finding, um, special

[21:23] opportunities so that we

[21:24] can alleviate the

[21:25] neighbors' concerns

[21:26] about parking during

[21:27] these events. I'll

[21:33] leave my

[21:34] email in the

[21:35] chat, so if anyone,

[21:36] um, has those connections

[21:38] and wants to

[21:39] contact me, I'd

[21:40] appreciate it.

[21:41] I think it is

[21:43] Yes. The

[21:44] farmers market is a

[21:45] pretty good place

[21:46] to park. It's

[21:47] only, well, a couple of

[21:48] blocks from here. I'm

[21:50] sure people wouldn't

[21:51] mind.

[21:52] That's less than a

[21:53] quarter. It's very

[21:54] easy to get there on foot. It's

[21:55] just impossible to

[21:57] do it when the market

[21:58] is open, which would only be the

[21:59] case for a day game

[22:00] or Oktoberfest,

[22:01] which seems to be on

[22:02] Sunday, but I don't think the

[22:03] playoffs

[22:04] will start by then. So

[22:09] this is worth considering.

[22:11] And we could also

[22:12] contact the

[22:13] school district. There

[22:14] 's a parking lot next to Horace Mann

[22:15] , just a

[22:17] block or two away

[22:18] . Um, and so if it's an

[22:20] evening event, we

[22:21] could

[22:21] use that

[22:22] parking lot with their

[22:23] permission.

[22:25] That's a great idea,

[22:26] Alderman Grab. So

[22:28] if you can help

[22:29] me contact

[22:30] them, I really think

[22:31] it would make the event more

[22:32] positive for

[22:33] everyone if we could

[22:34] offer our

[22:35] guests a specific

[22:36] parking spot.

[22:37] They will be

[22:38] happier and more willing

[22:39] to come if they

[22:40] know exactly where

[22:41] to park.

[22:44] Alderman Grabe

[22:45] So, we have...We have a

[22:46] petition. Did someone

[22:48] say something?

[22:49] Alderman Rose.

[22:50] please

[22:51] .

[22:52] If they park

[22:53] at the market, they don't

[22:54] have to

[22:55] park in the

[22:56] parking lot itself. They could

[22:57] park if

[22:58] the market is closed that day

[22:59] and there are no

[23:00] stalls there, right?

[23:01] Or why not? I don't know,

[23:04] it's from Marty, so I'll give it to

[23:05] Marty.

[23:07] Well, I don't think there

[23:08] are any parking markings there

[23:09] . You may

[23:10] find that someone has

[23:11] been blocked.

[23:12] Well, that's not our

[23:13] problem.

[23:14] Well, it's a problem when

[23:15] they try to

[23:16] leave and

[23:17] damage...the table. They

[23:21] crashed into a pillar and

[23:22] demolished a corner of that

[23:23] building, one

[23:24] completely bent,

[23:25] because the infrastructure from

[23:26] 1908 is not very strong,

[23:28] or the infrastructure from

[23:29] 1920. I

[23:30] can't believe I

[23:31] said such a stupid thing.

[23:32] Sorry. No, this is not

[23:33] nonsense. But people

[23:35] should park in

[23:36] good parking lots.

[23:38] Wherever there is parking,

[23:39] we have about 25 spaces in

[23:41] that area.

[23:45] Guys, remember that

[23:46] DBW just did a lot there

[23:48] , and I don't think

[23:49] they'll be happy

[23:50] if we take something down.

[23:52] I don't think anyone will have to

[23:54] demolish anything.

[23:55] Brewers fan just

[23:56] after midnight.

[23:58] Okay, we have

[23:59] a proposal, are there

[24:01] any more questions or

[24:02] comments about it?

[24:08] Okay, then I'll

[24:09] ask the secretary to take a

[24:10] roll call.

[24:12] Yes. Alderman

[24:14] Nicholson.

[24:15] By.

[24:17] Bro.

[24:19] By. Yes, yes. Did you

[24:26] hear me?

[24:27] Class. Yes, I support it.

[24:29] By.

[24:31] Peterson.

[24:32] By.

[24:35] Novice.

[24:39] By.

[24:46] Alderman Nolan.

[24:48] By.

[24:50] Oh, yes. Turner

[24:53] For.

[24:55] Turner

[24:56] For.

[24:57] Nine "for", zero "

[24:59] against".

[24:59] Okay, the offer

[25:01] is accepted. Thank you all.

[25:08] Thank you. Then

[25:11] we move on to point

[25:12] number two. I will ask

[25:15] the secretary to read

[25:16] it.

[25:18] Resolution

[25:19] approving the

[25:20] capital budget

[25:21] for updating

[25:22] servers at City Hall.

[25:26] Thank you. Do we know

[25:30] if the IT department is speaking out

[25:31] on this issue?

[25:33] I have nothing to introduce

[25:34] , but still

[25:36] .

[25:36] Oh, I don't see it's

[25:38] there. I only see the

[25:42] three of you. Here he is.

[25:43] I'm coming. I Are there

[25:46] any questions

[25:47] or anything you want

[25:48] to add, Rob?

[25:51] This is like COVID 2.0,

[25:52] related to

[25:53] data centers and

[25:55] component shortages. We

[25:57] initially ordered

[25:58] the equipment, but the first

[26:00] order was

[26:01] canceled due to

[26:02] price increases. We

[26:03] received several

[26:04] price quotes.

[26:05] This is the most

[26:06] cost-effective

[26:07] offer we have

[26:08] received to

[26:09] complete this

[26:10] work, this project

[26:11] . So I'm just asking

[26:14] for a

[26:14] budget increase so we can

[26:16] move forward.

[26:19] OK.

[26:20] I propose to approve. I

[26:21] support. I

[26:22] support.

[26:23] Okay, the proposal

[26:24] has been made. We have

[26:25] support. If

[26:28] there are no other discussions, who is in

[26:29] favor?

[26:30] By.

[26:33] Who is against? I guess there

[26:36] should have been a

[26:37] roll call, but I

[26:38] think the vote

[26:40] was unanimous,

[26:41] so it's okay. So,

[26:42] let's move on.

[26:44] The proposal is accepted,

[26:45] let's move on to point

[26:46] three. I will ask

[26:48] the secretary to read

[26:49] it.

[26:50] Resolution approving

[26:52] Amendment No. 1 to the agreement

[26:54] with Mead and Hunt

[26:55] Incorporated regarding

[26:56] technical support for

[26:58] GIS in 2026.

[27:01] In short, there is an

[27:02] existing capital

[27:04] project above the

[27:05] $10,000 threshold, so we are

[27:06] simply requesting

[27:07] approval to

[27:08] execute the deal.

[27:12] OK.

[27:13] I propose to approve. I

[27:16] support.

[27:17] There is an offer and

[27:18] support. If

[27:19] there is no discussion, Um,

[27:21] I will ask the secretary

[27:22] to take a roll call

[27:24] vote.

[27:26] Alderman Grisham.

[27:28] By.

[27:32] She said yes.

[27:38] By.

[27:40] Everyone is present.

[27:42] By.

[27:43] Hopson.

[27:45] By.

[27:46] Goldbach.

[27:48] By.

[27:50] Lennon.

[27:52] By.

[27:53] Vote. By. Turner.

[27:55] By.

[27:57] Nine in favor,

[27:59] zero against. Okay,

[28:01] the offer is accepted.

[28:02] Next, we have

[28:03] a Motion to

[28:04] Close the Meeting.

[28:05] We have a motion

[28:06] to close the meeting. Does

[28:07] anyone support? I

[28:09] support. Let

[28:10] 's write it down on Turner.
