[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.
[28:13] Who is "for"?
[28:15] By.
[28:16] Who is "against"? The decision
[28:18] has been made. The meeting
[28:20] is closed. Thank you all.
[28:22] Please.
[28:26] Close the meeting
[28:28] twice.
