[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.

[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

[28:16]
Who is "against"? The decision
[28:18]
has been made. The meeting
[28:20]

[28:22]
Please.
[28:26]
Close the meeting
[28:28]
twice.
