00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,960
As a Navy veteran,

and the tours my ship made

123
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,200
during the Vietnam era

124
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:37,560

Well, if you notice,

137
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,320
this is our council president's first time speaking

138
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,320
is because there was a Navy person here,

139
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,320
so I know he had to make sure to be here,

140
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,320
to get fired up to recognize you,

141
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,320
but Mr. Jensen, on behalf of the City of Kenosha,

142
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,320
you are an amazing individual.

143
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320
You are the embodiment

144
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,320
of why this recognition was founded,

145
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,320
not only recognizing your military service

146
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320
and defense of this country,

147
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,320
but also for coming home

148
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320
and helping guide young minds,

149
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,320
helping guide this community

150
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,320
as we've navigated different,

151
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,320
difficult waters over the years,

152
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,320
and we want to thank you greatly

153
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,320

00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,320
and I'm proud to know you,

157
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,320
and I'm proud of all the work that you've done.

158
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Thank you for all you've done for Kenosha.

159
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,320
With that, I'd like to ask for a five-minute recess

160
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,320
for some pictures.

161

190
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Kenosha.

191
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320
We just wanted to take a minute and bring awareness to

192
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,320
tornado.

193
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,320
I'm sorry.

194
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,320
Can we get your home address for the record, please?

195
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,320
Okay.

196
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,320
We're headquartered out of the tipsy kiwi, 60-1575th street.

197
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,320
Give them my home address with this.

198
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,320
I'm too many, especially if this is live on YouTube.

199
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
But that's not what we're here.

200
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,320
So we have tornado.

201
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320
I hate to do it, but it's part of the ordinance.

202
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,320
You're fine.

203
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,320
60-106-44th.

204
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,320
I have Kenosha, Wisconsin, 53-142.

205
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,320
I appreciate it.

206
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,320
So the reason why we're here today, we have our annual

207
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320
backpack giveaway coming up on August 15th.

208
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320
This is 17th year that we've been doing it.

209
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,320
And again, we just want to bring awareness to it.

210
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,320
And maybe you see if you guys can bring awareness to it in

211
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,320
your districts and in your inner circles.

212
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Because it's something that we feel very deeply passionate about.

213
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,320
A lot of us are the kids that, or we were the kids that, you know,

214
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320
are benefiting from this event now.

215
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,320
You know, the kids that on the first day of school, you didn't

216
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,320
have a pencil or you didn't have a notebook, you didn't have a

217
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,320
book bag, or you had the stuff that your brother used or, you

218
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
know, six cousins before you used it, it was falling apart.

219
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,320
This year, our goal is to fill and give away a thousand backpacks.

220
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,320
We already have the bags, so we are still looking for school

221
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,320
supply donations if that's, I'm not soliciting that now, but just

222
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,320
to make that aware.

223
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,320
And again, it's something that, like I said, we feel very

224
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,320
passionate about it.

225
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,320
It's our 17th year.

226
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,320
Our club has been around since 94.

227
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320
So you can see more than half of our lifetime.

228
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,320
We've been doing this.

229
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,320
It's very important to us.

230
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,320
We also do clothing drives throughout the year.

231
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,320
And our main focus outside of our passion for motorcycles is

232
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,320
giving back to our community and Kenosha is our community.

233
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,320
So again, like I said, I just wanted to bring this to everybody's

234
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,320
attention.

235
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Check us out on Facebook.

236
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320
If you want more information, not going to take up too much of

237
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,320
your time.

238
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,320
Miss Molly in the back does have some small versions of the

239
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,320
flyer.

240
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,320
If anybody would like one when you leave on your way out.

241
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,320
But other than that, that's all I got.

242
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,320
If anybody has any questions, I don't know how this works.

243
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,320
Ask questions or whatever the case may be.

244
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,320
That's all I got.

245
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:39,320
Next speaker, Jared Hunt.

246
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,320
Hello.

247
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,320
My name is Jared Hunt.

248
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,320
I live at 59216 Avenue.

249
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,320
I spoke here two weeks ago regarding the Microsoft data center

250
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:55,320
and at that time I reminded all of the members of the common

251
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,320
council that we do live in a representative government.

252
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,320
At that time, there were 10 speakers.

253
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,320
I was the 10th speaker.

254
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,320
So I know that nine of the 10 of us who spoke that day spoke

255
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,320
against the AI data center.

256
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,320
70% of the country doesn't want it.

257
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,320
90% of the people who spoke here last week don't want it.

258
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Overwhelmingly, the opinion of people in Kenosha is that we do not want it.

259
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:30,320
I would like to ask, by show of hands, who here is here to speak?

260
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,320
Sir, as you do address the body, please.

261
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:42,320
By show of hands, who is here to speak about the Microsoft data center?

262
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:47,320
Who is here to speak in favor of the Microsoft data center?

263
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:54,320
I think that that speaks for itself.

264
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,320
And I would like, if there are any further doubts, I would like to remind people what

265
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,320
the sound of an AI data center is.

266
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Sounds like this.

267
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,320
That wasn't noise.

268
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,320
It's constant.

269
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,320
People don't want to hear it.

270
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,320
We don't want to live near it.

271
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,320
That's what democracy looks like.

272
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Thank you.

273
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:36,320
Next speaker, Nick Prorak.

274
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:45,320
Very recently, after Microsoft ended, the two-year NDA that it had with Kenosha, the

275
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,320
city of Kenosha published a frequently asked questions page on their website.

276
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,320
I would like to review some of those answers.

277
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:57,320
One of the questions was, how will data centers affect my property values?

278
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,320
The city has stated that there is significant research that residential properties values

279
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,320
increasing in areas where data centers are built.

280
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,320
It seems like this would only be the case in the immediate vicinity where a neighbor

281
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,320
would have to sell their land to Microsoft so that more data centers could be built.

282
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,320
Property value isn't going up because more people want to live there.

283
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,320
It would be increasing because Microsoft wants to buy up the land.

284
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,320
They want to build more data centers and data center infrastructure.

285
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,320
For neighborhoods like Whitecaps, for example, where light and noise pollution along with

286
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,320
air pollution from the toxic methane plants would lower the quality of life in that area.

287
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
It would make it less desirable to live in.

288
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,320
When it's less desirable to live in, property values go down.

289
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,320
When residents are considering moving inside Kenosha, should they move closer to a toxic

290
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,320
methane power plant in the harmful ultra-low frequencies of a data center?

291
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Or should they move farther away?

292
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,320
That's the decision people have to make now when they're moving in Kenosha.

293
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Next question, what are the plans for discharge, including discharge monitoring plan?

294
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,320
If I understand the answer correctly, there would be no requirements to treat any water

295
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:05,320
containing toxic chemicals as long as those toxic chemicals are not above a certain threshold amount.

296
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,320
Next question, has a water impact assessment been completed?

297
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,320
The answer, no, because that's not typically what is asked of developments.

298
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,320
The next question, has a complete environmental impact statement been developed?

299
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,320
The answer, no, because that's not typically what is asked of developments.

300
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,320
In reference to the last two questions, everyone knows that hyperscale AI data centers are

301
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,320
not typical developments.

302
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,320
What do you stand to lose by doing more than what you consider your typical due diligence?

303
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320
Which in this case would be studies.

304
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,320
How is it going to impact residents?

305
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,320
Slow down, study the potential side effects.

306
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,320
Have public conversations about the project.

307
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,320
Talk with people in public.

308
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Talk with experts in public.

309
00:27:53,320 --> 00:28:02,320
I don't understand why you would just talk to individuals one-on-one in your office.

310
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:07,320
The one thing I do know, Microsoft is a giant, successful giant corporation.

311
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Anybody's ever worked for a really big, successful business notes.

312
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,320
They don't care about the people at the bottom.

313
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:22,320
They came to you guys because we have resources that they want.

314
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,320
They didn't come with an altruistic idea saying, oh, we have this wonderful product that

315
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Kenosha absolutely must have because it's going to be so great for them.

316
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:36,320
They came with advertisements.

317
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,320
They came with ponies and rainbows.

318
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Look at how wonderful this is going to be.

319
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,320
Everything is going to be fine.

320
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,320
Our data centers won't do the damage that everybody else's data centers have done.

321
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:48,320
Your water is going to stay clean.

322
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Your air is going to be clean.

323
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,320
Your taxes won't go up.

324
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,320
Property values won't go down.

325
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Your water is going to be wonderful.

326
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,320
There's not going to be any light pollution.

327
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,320
Everything is going to be fine.

328
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,320
Common sense says that's not the case.

329
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,320
It's just not.

330
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,320
Especially when they say, oh, we have this wonderful thing we want you to put in your community,

331
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320
but two years, you can't talk to anybody about it.

332
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Non-disclosure.

333
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:15,320
Your spidey sense should have been on fire running the opposite direction.

334
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,820
And then when they're like, okay, and just to show you how honest we are, here's a bunch

335
00:29:19,820 --> 00:29:22,320
of money upfront just in case something goes wrong, but it won't.

336
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,320
We want to invest in your schools.

337
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,320
We want to invest in your community.

338
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,320
We love you guys.

339
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,320
No.

340
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Kenosha doesn't need Microsoft.

341
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,320
Microsoft needs Kenosha.

342
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,320
They want our resources.

343
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Of course they're going to blow smoke up our butts and say everything's going to be great.

344
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,320
What needs to happen?

345
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:43,320
Common sense says before anybody tasked with giving these guys the green light, gives them

346
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,320
the green light, forget everything Microsoft said or anything they're still whispering

347
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,320
in your ear.

348
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Go to the source.

349
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,320
Go to the people who are currently the collateral damage.

350
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Go to their homes.

351
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,320
Feel the tonal frequencies that are buzzing their central nervous system 24-7.

352
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Listen to the noise pollution that they have 24-7.

353
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Go there at night.

354
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,320
30 seconds.

355
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,320
So you can see how bright it is.

356
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,320
And then before you leave, drink the water from their taps.

357
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,320
Go there a couple of times.

358
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,320
Go there for like two weeks straight.

359
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Drink water from their taps every single day.

360
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,320
And then get a jug.

361
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,320
Fill it up.

362
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,320
Bring it home.

363
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,320
And if you've arked that confident, give it to people you care about and have them drink

364
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,320
it too.

365
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,320
Before you ever make any decisions about giving these guys the green light, please fight

366
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,320
for us.

367
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:36,320
Because you're the only thing standing between that big successful company and us.

368
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Next speaker, Jerry Moore.

369
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,320
Good evening, Mayor and Councilman.

370
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,320
Council people.

371
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,320
Industrial scale development and massive infrastructure.

372
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Jerry Moore, 10-9-1869 street, Kenosha 53142.

373
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Industrial scale development and massive infrastructure is changing our aerial landscapes in real

374
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,320
time.

375
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:12,320
With gas plants, substations, transmission lines, backup generators, road expansions, stormwater

376
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,320
systems, and permanent land use changes.

377
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Placed in areas that were never built for this scale of demand.

378
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Causing environmental, public health concerns, and citizen involvement with ordinary people

379
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,320
like myself and those behind us and youth getting involved.

380
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Neighbors, talking to neighbors, which is a really good thing.

381
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,320
People showing up, asking questions.

382
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320
Together trying to make a difference.

383
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,320
We don't want a data center.

384
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,320
We don't want another data center.

385
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,320
Hyperscale doesn't drive tourism and new resident growth.

386
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,320
With people saying or singing, I love Paris, Wisconsin in the summer.

387
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,320
I love summers in the winter.

388
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:06,320
It is imperative that our communities and the people of our county, even though they're

389
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:12,320
not part of this, they should be, that they are protected from the impacts.

390
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:19,320
Representation in this issue crosses city county lines and it needs to somehow represent all

391
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,320
people's interests and vote.

392
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:27,320
Not the power of tech developers with their slick presentations and well memorized talking

393
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,320
points.

394
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Perporting how supposedly good hyperscale centers are.

395
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,320
For who?

396
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:40,320
Not the Laska family in Paris or my friends who live on MB or those who frequent Wolfman's

397
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,320
Lodge where a four lane road is scheduled to be built.

398
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,320
But then these builds are not in your backyard.

399
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:55,320
Affecting your family fun and casting at night a stretched out low to the horizon.

400
00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:02,320
Acronistic cold white light over your barbecues and family gatherings.

401
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:11,320
For what looks small at approval doesn't stay small, it grows, it changes, gets amended

402
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,320
and becomes something entirely different and new.

403
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,320
We are alarmed and have every right.

404
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Our country is on fire, tornadoes, floods, outages and you want to add toxicity to the

405
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:31,320
mix and put our fire people at harm's way and when our healthcare is already being gutted,

406
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,320
we aren't about stopping growth but about getting it right.

407
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:43,320
And why we ask for a pause, a moratorium, this would do so much to assuage all of us who

408
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,320
are fighting for this.

409
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,320
Please, I got to use my bees.

410
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Be kind with your footprints.

411
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:57,320
Let's have dairy air, not data centers, cold white glare.

412
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,320
Thank you.

413
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,320
Next speaker, Rachel Kirschner.

414
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,320
Hundreds of megawatts, powering it with gas plants.

415
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,320
Did you know how much water a gas plant uses?

416
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:19,320
Red Oak Ridge Energy Center will use a maximum of 335,000 gallons of water per day.

417
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:25,320
The pollution from the gas plant could cause over a billion dollars in healthcare costs.

418
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,320
So I have four interesting facts for the day.

419
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:33,320
Did you know the gas plant proposed in the village of Summers will run a pipeline over

420
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,320
the Kenosha growth area?

421
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:41,320
Making the gas plant part of Kenosha too, because you can't have a gas plant without a pipeline.

422
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:48,320
Probably should update the Kenosha Q&A for the pipeline because that's part of the gas plant.

423
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:57,320
Did you know the servers, probably the most expensive part of the data centers, won't be considered as part of the property value.

424
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:03,320
Servers are personal property, not part of tax base, so you will not get tax money on the servers.

425
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:09,320
Third fact, did you know there are over 50 homes on 136 avenues?

426
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,320
All homes north of Microsoft purchased land are not part of the growth area.

427
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,320
This is a suburban rural area, not a farm street.

428
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:23,320
Did you know there is a proposal to build three more homes on 136 avenues in the town of Paris?

429
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,320
Ma'am, you have 30 seconds.

430
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:31,320
Did you know there are no other development that has occurred in Des Moines by the data centers, besides data centers?

431
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:41,320
Forty percent of Kenosha runs, so we will see little to no benefit from Kenosha's deal with Microsoft.

432
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,320
In fact, most likely hurt due to the low number of jobs per acre.

433
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,320
Microsoft will be no Chrysler plant where people are working there with their families.

434
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,320
Thank you for listening tonight.

435
00:35:53,320 --> 00:36:04,320
Next speaker, Tony Ruka.

436
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,320
Tony Ruka, 7727 Fifth Avenue, Kenosha.

437
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,320
Good evening. I'm a retired dental professor from Marquette University

438
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,320
and have a master's in bioethics from the Medical College of Wisconsin.

439
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,320
I'm here to voice my opposition to the hyperscale Microsoft data center

440
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:26,320
proposed in the annex land from Paris Township as well as the red oak ridge gas plant proposed to power it.

441
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,320
I know the gas plant is in Paris and that the spotty does not have jurisdiction over it currently,

442
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,320
but in reality the two cannot be separated.

443
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:39,320
I'm asking our aldermen and women to propose and approve a one year moratorium on the data center project

444
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:45,320
so that further research can be conducted assessing the impact on the health of our human and animal neighbors,

445
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,320
the community's quality of life, and the environment in general.

446
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:54,320
As elected officials, you take an oath to the Constitution of the United States as well as Wisconsin

447
00:36:54,320 --> 00:37:00,320
within 10 days of your entering office. You may recall Article 1, Section 1, which states,

448
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:06,320
all people are born equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights among these are life,

449
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,320
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And to secure these rights, governments are instituted,

450
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,320
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

451
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:21,320
There has been no consent to this project from the community. The NDAs made sure of that.

452
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,320
While there is law and there are current laws that may or may not have been followed in this circumstance,

453
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:33,320
there is ethics. Ethics is a higher standard. I believe the way this project has been handled is unethical

454
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:39,320
and for what I have read perhaps unconstitutional. As a community has not consented to it as a major decision

455
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:45,320
that affects so many people, animals, and the land that it sits on, that it would sit on.

456
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:51,320
My ethical question to you is this. As elected officials, if you knew something could potentially cause grave,

457
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,320
irreversible harm to the community you represent,

458
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,320
do you have a responsibility to do something about it?

459
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:03,320
Do you have an ethical obligation to ensure that all potential harm and benefits are weighed?

460
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:09,320
The best possible outcome for most people affected is considered and the right choice is made.

461
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:15,320
You took an oath so I believe that you do. A one-year moratorium would help you navigate this complex question.

462
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:21,320
As a dentist and educator, I have practiced and taught my students over my entire career at Marquette

463
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:27,320
that dental professionals are expected to put our patients first and above all else to do no harm in patient care.

464
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:33,320
I know you expect that from your dentist too. As elected stewards of our community,

465
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,320
including your constituents well-being, I would ask that you do the same for us.

466
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:44,320
Lastly, there's an environmental ethical principle called the precautionary principle,

467
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,320
mainly it states that in the past humans were a part of nature,

468
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,320
that we are integral to it and we felt that we belong to it.

469
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:58,320
Now that we have the technology to permanently destroy it and cause irreversible harm to human health,

470
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,320
this is an unfair and unbalanced proposition. We should never be pitting the environment against people.

471
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,320
That is just wrong. So please consider a one-year moratorium on this data center proposal

472
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,320
so that the effects on all of us in this community and the environment can be properly assessed.

473
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,320
Thank you.

474
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,320
Next speaker, Molly Gray-Mores.

475
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,320
Molly Gray-Mores, 60-39, 14th Avenue. I'm here about the data center.

476
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:38,320
I'm here to talk about a little more emphasized on the guys that were here earlier from the Wolfpack.

477
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:43,320
So I have just recently started supporting them for the last, this is my second year.

478
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,320
And I truly also believe in giving back to the community.

479
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,320
And what these guys are doing is more than just giving back to the community.

480
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:56,320
They are also supporting our kids. They're also supporting women that are being abused.

481
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,320
They're there when some of our police officers can't be there.

482
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:06,320
So this is an event I would love for a comic council to come out, each and every one of you,

483
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,320
to come out because it's to help your neighborhood and your community too.

484
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,320
So it's not just for the Lincoln area, I just need you all to know that.

485
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,320
So that means the north side people come as well.

486
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:22,320
It's for each and every one of y'all to start supporting events that are happening in this city.

487
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,320
Connections need to be known for more than the data center.

488
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,320
It needs to be known for us coming together, working together,

489
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,320
listening and making positive decisions and making positive things happen.

490
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,320
And I'm also here to support the Kingfish.

491
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,320
This is the first big event at the Kingfish. It's a wrestling event.

492
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:50,320
Joe have poured and Ryan have poured so much stuff back into the city.

493
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,320
I support our first responders whenever I host my chili cook off.

494
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,320
These two, this organization that was here tonight,

495
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,320
and along with the guys that's going to be doing the event at Kingfish, they support me.

496
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,320
I don't have a 5-1-1-3-C.

497
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,320
I am a voice for the people, but I am also a voice for the men and women

498
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,320
that are doing great things to make our city be put on a map

499
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,320
besides the city that's supposed to be getting the data center.

500
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:21,320
And also, I would love to have more of you all involved in coming to the neighborhood clean events.

501
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:26,320
It shouldn't just be the downtown business, along with myself,

502
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,320
I don't have business downtown, but that are supporting these clean events.

503
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:37,320
I lived in big cities before, and downtown became a hot mess after an event.

504
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:43,320
So, common council members, you might not have an address downtown,

505
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:48,320
but I'm quite sure you come down to get your cocktail, a burger, or something,

506
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,320
so support some of the clean events that they have downtown.

507
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,320
One of my biggest reasons for still being here in Kenosha is to change things.

508
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,320
We could talk all day, but if we don't choose to get our hands dirty,

509
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,320
why bother to open your mouth and say anything?

510
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,320
You, 30 seconds.

511
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,320
Oh, I'm sorry, girl.

512
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,320
Why bother to open your mouth and say anything?

513
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,320
So, please start supporting the clean events that they have downtown,

514
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,320
because y'all are quick to get them a license and permit to do something down there.

515
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,320
I'm just saying.

516
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,320
Next speaker, Greg Kishland.

517
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:27,320
Greg Kishland, 8638, 32nd Avenue.

518
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:33,320
Last week, he declared the Democratic Party Communists literally.

519
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,320
This week, Trump continues his pursuit of unlimited power and wealth,

520
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,320
and he's making real progress.

521
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:45,320
Todd Blanche's recent letter declaring the death of the $1.7 billion slush fund

522
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,320
is toothless and non-binding.

523
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,320
Trump will repackage his illegal demands, including these,

524
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,320
the Save America restrictions on voting rights,

525
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:03,320
the slush fund compensation of taxpayer dollars for Trump's followers,

526
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,320
and the Trump family IRS immunity package.

527
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:12,320
Trump, last week, declared, I will get it done.

528
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,320
It's right out there in the open, people.

529
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,320
What is this?

530
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:23,320
When does his disregard of the Constitution become too much for America to stomach?

531
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,320
At what point does American public lose full faith in the rule of law?

532
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:34,320
If the other two branches of government haven't yet reached their breaking point,

533
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,320
what will it take for their check-and-balance meter to go into the red?

534
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,320
The explicit intent of Project 2025, pardon me,

535
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:50,320
is to trim the level of government assistance to those in extreme need,

536
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,320
to radically reduce the number of civil service positions,

537
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,320
and most importantly, to increase and concentrate presidential authority.

538
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:06,320
Cancel FEMA, cancel SNAP, dismantle USAID, chop the Medicaid program,

539
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,320
and tax breaks for the wealthy?

540
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,320
What can we do?

541
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,320
Take action, do peaceful pushback,

542
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,320
write to newspapers and your representatives,

543
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,320
demand town hall meetings and listening sessions and attend them.

544
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,320
Don't just ask questions, tell them how you feel and why.

545
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,320
Tell them what you want them to do.

546
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,320
Citizen comments like these are opportunities.

547
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,320
We face two elections here in Wisconsin, learn the candidates,

548
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,320
then cast an informed vote.

549
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,320
If you're concerned, get active.

550
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,320
A second comment here.

551
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,320
If you're changing the limits on citizen comments,

552
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,320
could you please post it, maybe on the agenda?

553
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,320
Thanks for the opportunity.

554
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,320
Next speaker, Dan Laska.

555
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,320
Hi, guys.

556
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,320
My name is Dan Laska, 2403 136th Street.

557
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:28,320
This is personal improvement for me because I share a property line with Microsoft.

558
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,320
I'm opposed to the data center.

559
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,320
What's happening?

560
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,320
Tax benefits.

561
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:40,320
Like I said before, there will be no taxes on the things that go inside the building.

562
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,320
Can also we'll be receiving only property taxes,

563
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,320
and when pressed upon this by the mayor,

564
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:51,320
he said, well, the money be used for tax relief from its community.

565
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,320
I looked into how many people in town actually own property,

566
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,320
and it breaks down this way.

567
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,320
Honor-occupied houses, and this is from the 2024 American Community Survey,

568
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,320
the data oner-occupied houses is 58%.

569
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,320
They would benefit.

570
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,320
Renter-occupied is 41%.

571
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,320
They would not benefit.

572
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,320
So a little under half of your community would not benefit for that plan.

573
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,320
The highest ownership districts are 14, 15, 16, 17.

574
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:26,320
These are, contain many division developments, housing divisions,

575
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:33,320
rural, residential areas, and are the closest to the we energy and Microsoft's development site.

576
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:41,320
They're most likely are concerned about issues that affect property taxes, traffic,

577
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:46,320
noise pollution, and long-term neighborhood impacts.

578
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,320
The districts with the lowest property ownership are one, two, three, four, and five.

579
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,320
I didn't make that up.

580
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,320
I just kind of way it came.

581
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:59,320
These are farther from the effects, but they do not receive any benefits from the property taxes.

582
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,320
A lot of this needs to be a city of bookends.

583
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,320
You have old town versus new developments, east versus west,

584
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:11,320
and benefiting and not benefiting and rewarded.

585
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,320
I would also like to appeal to the levels of view of faith.

586
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,320
I grew up in a Polish Catholic community in Northern Wisconsin.

587
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,320
My parents sent me to Catholic school for nine years.

588
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:27,320
My teachers are priests and nuns, so I know a little bit about the Bible's teachings.

589
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:36,320
The Ten Commandments, one of the few times God has directly sent down to his followers and given him direct guidance.

590
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:41,320
Commandments 9, 10, 8, 9, 10 should be considered.

591
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,320
Commandment 8 is thou shall not steal.

592
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,320
Reasoning Paris land is a theft of property.

593
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:55,320
And it also affects our community, because it affects our tax base, because you took land away from us.

594
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:56,320
So you're here 30 seconds.

595
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:01,320
Command 9 is thou shall not bear false weather, or do not lie.

596
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:08,320
We saw in the frequently asked questions, it's Microsoft's points that you're talking about, not your own.

597
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,320
Thou shall not covet.

598
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,320
Thou shall not covet number 10.

599
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,320
You covet the land west of the eye.

600
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,320
There's plenty of land between the eye and the lake.

601
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,320
That's uneven.

602
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,320
Acres of it, but you want to take our land.

603
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,320
And for those of you who are in favor of retribution, I'll leave you this.

604
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:29,320
Believers are Commandments, Romans 1219, not to seek revenge.

605
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,320
So your time is up.

606
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,320
Trusting.

607
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,320
Pay.

608
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,320
Basically, if you're scared of retribution, don't be.

609
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,320
That's your hard guide to you.

610
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,320
Next speaker, Montana, Montana Peterson.

611
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:50,320
Montana Peterson, 7102 Pershing Boulevard.

612
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:55,320
80 members of the U.S. current U.S. Congress have APAC as our all-time top contributor,

613
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:59,320
8 senators, 72 representatives, 36 Republicans, 44 Democrats.

614
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:04,320
This is bipartisan failure at the highest level to residents of the United States to receive funding from a foreign nation

615
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:09,320
to push their ideals, fund their subsidization of healthcare, education, housing, and continue wars of attrition

616
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:14,320
at the expense of our tax dollars and our sons, daughters, and loved ones overseas.

617
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,320
In Wisconsin, according to track APAC, nine of our elected officials receive money from pro-Israel PACs,

618
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:26,320
including Ron Johnson, Tammy Baldwin, Brian Steele, Derry Van Orton, Gwen Moore, Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, Tom Tiffany, and Tony Weed.

619
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:33,320
Collectively receiving over $1,692,252 from pro-Israel interest groups.

620
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,320
Thank you to Mark Pokken for having a backbone because he does not receive any money from them.

621
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:46,320
Our representatives, current, recently voted to merge our military with Israel under section 219 in the 2027 NDAA fiscal year proposal,

622
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,320
Tammy Baldwin voted against it, and Ron Johnson voted for it.

623
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:57,320
It passed in the House and is now stalled in the Senate, merging our military with a foreign nation and anyone voting to do so is committing treason.

624
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,320
Hiding this within the 3,000 page document is beyond sneaky.

625
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:07,320
And speaking of sneaky, pushing an agenda regardless of what your constituents want by signing NDAs,

626
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:12,320
bullying people within bad faith conversations and withholding information to control a narrative is sneaky.

627
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:19,320
With these private surveillance companies, with contracts across the country at the local, state, and federal level,

628
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,320
now a foreign government has access to all of our data and the centers that store that information

629
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,320
is in the works to consider data centers, military installations.

630
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:32,320
Building a surveillance state directly violates our Fourth Amendment rights as private citizens.

631
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,320
We do not want flock or any other company freely recording us at all hours of the day and night.

632
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,320
We must ask ourselves why our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights are being squandered.

633
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:46,320
Why are there now over 124,971 LPRs mapped in the USA per deflock.org

634
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,320
that are constantly recording our faces, likeness, walking patterns, and travels,

635
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:56,320
many of which are not pointed at the road but in a private residences, children's parks and spaces not designed for vehicles.

636
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,320
There are almost 140 flock cameras within the 30 minute radius of this location.

637
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:05,320
Only 91 cities are rejecting contracts with LPRs working to deactivate the cameras.

638
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,320
Kenosha is not on that list currently.

639
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,320
And the contract with flock do not let another company in and deactivate the cameras.

640
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:19,320
Roughly 71% of the world is covered in water according to USGS.gov that translates to about 96.5% of all the water on earth is ocean.

641
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,320
National Geographic Society states of the 3% of earth's water.

642
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,320
Thank you. I reclaim my time.

643
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,320
Of the 3% of earth's water that is fresh, only 1.2% is accessible.

644
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:34,320
Of that 1.2% of accessible fresh water in the world, our Great Lakes make up 21% of the globe's surface fresh water.

645
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:39,320
These data centers are poisoning this ancient natural wonder of the world that we have the privilege of having in our backyard.

646
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:46,320
These big corporations come into our small communities and take advantage of us to steal from us to poison the water, to poison the land, poison the air, and poison our bodies.

647
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:51,320
These pollinate one in three foods that we consume and if the bees die, entire ecosystems will collapse.

648
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:57,320
It's also proven that over usage of generative AI decreases the gray matter in our brains, literally infecting us.

649
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:05,320
Less intelligent and capable of critical thinking skills, forcing the adaptation of AI usage into our lives and our children's lives will cause generational disruption and problems.

650
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,320
Thank you.

651
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:14,320
Reading truly is fundamental and almost 60% of US Americans cannot read above the sixth grade reading level.

652
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,320
Those that are on the side of Microsoft are betraying Kenosha residents.

653
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,320
Please call the next speaker.

654
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,320
Next speaker Paul Jensen.

655
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,320
Ma'am, ma'am, I'm asking you very politely, please.

656
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,320
Do the air pollution while you're calling mental physical and emotional health due to interest and admission.

657
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:38,320
Ma'am, ma'am, your time is done and you're being very disruptive.

658
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,320
We've listened to you, your time is done.

659
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:42,320
Please, thank you.

660
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,320
Next speaker, please.

661
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,320
No, you are not making a whole list.

662
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,320
Next speaker, please.

663
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:49,320
Please.

664
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,320
Next speaker, please.

665
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,320
Ma'am, please.

666
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,320
Chief.

667
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:05,320
I urge all the people to vote in favor of a one year moratorium to slow down this infestation of data centers, data centers, data centers, food, food, food, food.

668
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,320
Next speaker Paul Jensen.

669
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,320
Next speaker, please.

670
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,320
Please sir, name and address for the record, please.

671
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:37,320
Mr. Paul Jensen, 47, 15, 67th place, Kenosha, which being a resident makes me a member of the government.

672
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:47,320
While the city of Kenosha workers are government employees, as in public servants for the purposes of the government, the government of the city of Kenosha pays their employees well.

673
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:57,320
And all residents ask for in return is for their employees to perform their mandated job duties, not abuse their authority, not commit crimes while they are working for us.

674
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:02,320
Would you be surprised if a city of Kenosha employee was committing felonies against residents?

675
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,320
Until proven otherwise, the person is Kenosha Police Department Chief Patton.

676
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:21,320
Under Chief Patton's leadership, he is not only having people arrested that never committed a crime, he has selective law enforcement, and if that's not bad enough, city of Kenosha police officers are also forced to arrest people that never committed a crime.

677
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:31,320
Who is protecting the city of Kenosha police officers that are committing these felony crimes of false arrest, in lying their reports to support their felony crimes of false arrest?

678
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,320
The answer is nobody.

679
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:41,320
On September 23rd, 24, a day that I was home educating two of my children, Officer's Elm and Raleigh, came to my home for a family matter.

680
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,320
I did not call the police nor did my wife.

681
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,320
My wife, Sharon, has been dealing with her mental health issues at that time.

682
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,320
And during that time, she had been physically and verbally abusive to her two youngest children.

683
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,320
She admitted to police officers about her abuse to her family.

684
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,320
Nobody touched each other.

685
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,320
No one threw anything nor hit anyone.

686
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:03,320
Yet I was arrested for disorderly conduct while obeying the law.

687
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:08,320
Former Officer Raleigh declared in his field case report that he arrested me based on my wife's statement.

688
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,320
The issue is my wife never gave a statement.

689
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,320
The felony crimes I am a victim of by Elm and Raleigh are in layman's terms of false arrest.

690
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,320
Because of the lies by these two police officers, the court kicked me out of my house.

691
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,320
I cannot get my personal belongings.

692
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:31,320
But worst of all, I am not allowed to have contact with my children and have been separated from them for 670 days.

693
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:40,320
All because of the felony crime of false arrest by two city Kenosha police officers and chief patent refused to arrest after I reported their phone.

694
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:47,320
Chief patent cannot pull off his felony crimes of arresting people that have never committed a crime by himself.

695
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,320
It is a team effort.

696
00:55:48,320 --> 00:56:01,320
First he needs city attorney Matthew Knight and city administrator John Morrissey to not perform their mandate to do job duties of making sure all city employees are observing and obeying the law.

697
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,320
Then he needs a corrupt HR director.

698
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,320
Then he needs a corrupt district attorney, which we have that in Xavier Solas.

699
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:16,320
Then he needs corrupt Kenosha County judges and he has that in this case with Judge Jody Meyer and Judge Chad Kirkman.

700
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:33,320
If Mayor Bagdala performs his statutory duties per state statute 69.098 this week, the city of Kenosha can get rid of the wolves in sheep's clothing and we can be our way to making city of Kenosha great again.

701
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,320
This is not Israel.

702
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,320
Thank you for listening.

703
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,320
Next speaker, Colton Roberts.

704
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,320
Hello, my name is Colton Roberts, 4710 18th Ave. First off, coward.

705
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,320
You should let that lady speak.

706
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,320
But I am here to speak about the FLOT cameras and Microsoft data center.

707
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:19,320
As we know, FLOT cameras are a playground violation of our Fourth Amendment rights because they create a searchable database for all police officers, members of state law enforcement and federal law enforcement, as well as foreign law enforcement, in some cases, to track and surveil us.

708
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,320
I politely ask that each and every one of you have a FLOT camera installed outside of your homes.

709
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,320
I know there's one like right outside here, so we get you on your way to work.

710
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,320
Perfect. Can we get some more, please?

711
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,320
If we all have to be subject laws, shouldn't y'all?

712
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:41,320
Second, I would like to formally ask that we name the data center the David F. Bagdala data center.

713
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,320
Mr. Mayor, as you've said, you are very proud of this project.

714
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,320
You are very passionate about it.

715
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:51,320
And if you are so passionate, as you said, when we spoke together, which I appreciate, we should have your name on it.

716
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,320
You should be proud to say, that's my plan.

717
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:58,320
I did that. When our children grow up and they're like, Dad, what's that building?

718
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:05,320
Well, that's a data center. Mr. Bagdala built that in 2026 to 2028.

719
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:11,320
I don't know. But hopefully we don't have to have that.

720
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,320
And I can tell my children, what's that? That is a beautiful park.

721
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,320
That's a park. Let's go for a walk. That's a playground. Let's go play tag.

722
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,320
That's a school. You'll go there one day.

723
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,320
I politely ask that we have a one-year moratorium on said data center.

724
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,320
We know the effects. We can't deny them.

725
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,320
Last thing before I go, I've asked this question and I haven't got an answer.

726
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:40,320
When the data centers built and power rates go up, which they will, what will the deflationary effect be on consumer spending?

727
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,320
If power bills go up 30, 40, or 50%, national average is currently 30%,

728
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:50,320
that will have an impact on consumer spending, which is a noticeable part of GDP.

729
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:55,320
If consumer spending goes down as much as 5%, that's instantly a recession.

730
00:58:55,320 --> 00:59:00,320
Yes, we will get investment from Microsoft. That investment dries up the moment construction is done.

731
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:06,320
Will we see a massive recession due to the increase in costs from utility companies?

732
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,320
I rest my time. Thank you.

733
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:14,320
Next speaker, J.R. Pratcher.

734
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,320
Good afternoon, Honorable Mayor and Honorable Counsel.

735
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,320
J.R. Pratcher, 2018, 89th Street.

736
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:28,320
In 1933, a company called International Business Machines, IBM,

737
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,320
developed the Hollerith tabulating machine.

738
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:36,320
It used punch cards filled with holes to sort and identify large populations.

739
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,320
The technology was first built for American senses,

740
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:45,320
but when Hitler and the Nazis came into power, IBM's German branch supplied the machines

741
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:50,320
and custom cards that let their government catalog Jewish men, women, and children

742
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,320
by their language, occupation, and residence.

743
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:58,320
It even logged their relationships, network, hair color, their items they possessed,

744
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:03,320
and the data processing power turned census collection and identification

745
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,320
into the machinery of the Holocaust.

746
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,320
Fast forward to 1994, Rwanda.

747
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:14,320
The Belgians implemented and left behind their National Identity Card Program.

748
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:19,320
It listed ethnicity, occupation, residence, and other identifiers.

749
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,320
The residents and other identifiers.

750
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,320
The Tutsi, Hutu, and Tuaw were the main ethnic groups during the time.

751
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:30,320
When the Hutu extremist seized control of the government

752
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,320
and National Identity technology, those cards became death warrants.

753
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,320
The Tutsi created roadblocks where they would check everybody's card.

754
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:44,320
Radio broadcasts would label the Tutsis cockroaches and the National Identification System.

755
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,320
The Belgians had imposed, was used to carry out a genocide

756
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,320
the Hutus used on their own people.

757
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,320
Fast forward to 2002, in Afghanistan.

758
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,320
Afghan refugees returned from Pakistan.

759
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:01,320
The United Nations and coalition forces deployed biometric devices and scanners.

760
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:07,320
Facial images collected facial images and even fingerprints along with other personal data.

761
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,320
Years after the United Nations and the Americans left Afghanistan,

762
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:16,320
the Taliban seized those same devices and databases.

763
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,320
The technology once again used for registration became a tool to hunt down

764
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:25,320
and eliminate the interpreters and many other Afghans who helped the Americans

765
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,320
and coalition forces.

766
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:31,320
Today we have E-Verify, Real ID, Facial Recognition,

767
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,320
Flock cameras, license plate readers, and similar systems

768
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,320
that record every pedestrian and car.

769
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,320
They log the time, the location, they log the color, the speed,

770
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:47,320
the unique identifiers like NFC, RFID, and Bluetooth.

771
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:53,320
This information is fed into data centers that process and map out patterns of power lives.

772
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:54,320
30 seconds.

773
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,320
Along with metadata, history is consistent.

774
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:04,320
Identification systems created for administration or security have been repeatedly turned into instruments of mass targeting.

775
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:08,320
I'm asking the council to please protect our privacy, please protect our data,

776
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,320
and please serve the people of Kenosha.

777
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,320
Thank you and thank you for your time.

778
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Take care, God bless.

779
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,320
Next speaker, Lewis Ragani.

780
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:29,320
Good evening, I'm Luke.

781
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,320
Excuse me.

782
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:35,320
I'm Lewis Ragani, live at 4526 29th Avenue.

783
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:38,320
Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

784
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,320
Kenosha has become a tourist magnet.

785
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:50,320
The city county area, Kenosha County area, got over a quarter billion,

786
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:56,320
catch the B dollars last year, and it's growing.

787
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:00,320
And if you talk to anybody on the street, you see him downtown, up town,

788
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:05,320
you ask where they're from, chances are they're from somewhere else, they're visiting.

789
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,320
So we become like, like Lake Geneva.

790
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,320
Maybe Lake Geneva is something they will say.

791
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:15,320
We'd like to be like Kenosha West, who knows?

792
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:23,320
Well, anyway, I want to salute the people on the Landmarks Commission last year,

793
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:28,320
who supported denying the wrecking permit for the Eagles Club.

794
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,320
That's why I'm here.

795
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:39,320
The Eagles Club has had more important people visit than any other community treasure.

796
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:44,320
All the theaters, we had Bob Hope several times at the Eagles Club,

797
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:53,320
Red Skelton, President-elect Truman, Guy Lombardo.

798
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,320
Glenn Miller appeared many times.

799
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,320
Duke Ellington was there every week.

800
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,320
This was in the 60s.

801
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:06,320
I could go on and on, but the point is, it's part of the downtown entertainment district,

802
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:12,320
and today we read again that it's threatened and nothing seems to be happening.

803
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,320
My question to you that I know you can't answer openly.

804
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,320
What's happened since I was here last month?

805
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:22,320
Has the city put together a committee to deal with the owners?

806
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:27,320
Has the city contacted any developers that would buy it?

807
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,320
Has anybody contacted Scott York?

808
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,320
Or anybody else from Cobalt Partners?

809
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,320
Has anybody contacted Gorman?

810
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:42,320
All the other great developers around here that are doing things in Milwaukee?

811
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:47,320
I don't have the answer, and you can't answer right now legally because of your structure.

812
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:56,320
I'm only saying that the clock is ticking and that this landmark seems to be on the verge of going away forever.

813
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:02,320
It's right down on the most valuable part of downtown, the lakefront.

814
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,320
Sir, you have 30 seconds?

815
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,320
Yeah.

816
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,320
And I want to thank you for that and keep in touch.

817
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:15,320
By the way, if you want to beat the data center, you want to do what Kamwe did back in 1990,

818
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:24,320
put together a binding resolution, binding referendum under Wisconsin's initiative and referendum statute.

819
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,320
Look it up and I don't have time to tell you.

820
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,320
You can do your own research.

821
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,320
Alderman Pazala and I work together on that.

822
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,320
And we won.

823
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:34,320
We beat Medellin.

824
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,320
They walked out of here.

825
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,320
So your time is up.

826
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:42,320
Thank you again.

827
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,320
Be Communications, Petitions, Reports of Departments.

828
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,320
Be one approval of the following applications.

829
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:48,320
A 20 operator's licenses.

830
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,320
B 2 Special Class B beer and or Special Class B wine licenses.

831
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,320
C 2 Amusement and Recreation Enterprise Supervisor's licenses.

832
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:56,320
Gentlemen from 10th.

833
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:57,320
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

834
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:02,320
Make a motion to approve B 1.

975
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,320

capillary license for a little bit.

1001
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:12,320
I know it's a probationary, but

1002
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:14,320
probation licenses are hard to

1003
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,320
get rid of also.

1004
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,320
So, I am going to vote against

1005
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,320
it tonight.

1006
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,320

Okay.

1067
01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:14,400
You have the floor, sir.

1068
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:15,320
Yeah, thank you.

1069
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,120
I'd like to thank Mr. Knight for helping me draft this.

1070
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:21,520
This is near and dear to me.

1071
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,000
To recovery month, September is a national recovery month

1072
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:30,280
and that connoxious will be a big part of this.

1073
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,840
I'm also looking for a co-sponsor.

1074
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,720
So anybody once you get on board, please do.

1075
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,080
I have my permission.

1076
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:41,160
Recovery month highlights individuals

1077
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,240
who have reclaimed their long-term recovery

1078
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,520
and honors the treatment and treatment centers

1079
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,320
and a buildings around town.

1080
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,040
This is near and dear to my heart.

1081
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,680
I am on a 12-step program and a half

1082
01:14:57,680 --> 01:14:59,640
for the past 43 years.

1083
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:00,480
So.

1084
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:07,080
23.5 million people are in recovery.

1085
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,520
That's 10% of the population of America.

1086
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,920
27.9 million people have an alcohol disorder.

1087
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:21,160
28.2 million people have a drug disorder.

1088
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:22,840
It's an epidemic.

1089
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:24,440
It starts at an early age.

1090
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:28,520
But there is hope.

1091
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:33,520
This resolution helps people who are desperate.

1092
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:37,880
They need hope.

1093
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:42,200
And there is no cure for drug or alcohol addiction.

1094
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,240
It's only a daily reprieve that we have.

1095
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:51,560
This is the 27th, the 37th year of national recovery month.

1096
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:56,560
And I'm looking to having unanimous support on this.

1097
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,040
It's near and dear to me.

1098
01:15:58,040 --> 01:15:58,880
Thank you.

1099
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:02,000
Thank you, sir.

1100
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,560
Gentlemen from the 7th.

1101
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:05,680
I would like to be included as a co-sponsor.

1102
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,280
And gentlemen from the 3rd.

1103
01:16:11,480 --> 01:16:12,320
What, sorry.

1104
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,960
Sponsors, permissioned, I'd also like to add

1105
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:16,720
my name as a co-sponsor.

1106
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:17,560
So noted.

1107
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,240
Lady from the 8th.

1108
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:21,960
Yes, with the blessings of the sponsor,

1109
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:23,760
I'd also like to be a co-sponsor.

1110
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,000
Gentlemen from the 11th.

1111
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,040
I would also like to be a co-sponsor.

1112
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:34,000
Yes, sir.

1113
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,480
Gentlemen from the 13th.

1114
01:16:35,480 --> 01:16:37,480
I'd like to be a co-sponsor as well.

1115
01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:40,600
Gentlemen from the 3rd.

1116
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:42,960
Oh, I'm sorry.

1117
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:43,800
Gentlemen from the 9th.

1118
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:44,640
Excuse me.

1119
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,400
I would also like to be added to co-sponsors

1120
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:49,840
as I have personally have many members of my family

1121
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,280
who are alcoholics over the years.

1122
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,920
And so I'm aware of all this problem.

1123
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,280
And people do need to help out there.

1124
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:58,840
So I'm fully supportive of this.

1125
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,680
Thank you.

1126
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:01,360
Thank you, sir.

1127
01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:03,720
Motion on the floor is approved.

1128
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:05,920
Item I-2, any further discussion?

1129
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:07,560
Seeing none, roll call please.

1130
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,400
Motion carries 14 to zero.

1131
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:20,920
All other contracts and agreements.

1132
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,400
All one software service agreement

1133
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,520
between Life Safety Inspection Vault LLC

1134
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:25,720
and the City of Kenosha.

1135
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,120
Gentlemen from the 5th.

1136
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:28,400
Make a motion to approve.

1137
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:33,160
Sorry.

1138
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:43,240
Who's the second?

1139
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:44,080
Thank you, sir.

1140
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:44,920
You're welcome.

1141
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,120
It's been moved and seconded to approve item L1.

1142
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,320
Any discussion?

1143
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,760
Seeing none, roll call please.

1144
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:55,400
If I may, I would like to call the deputy chief,

1145
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:59,560
fire chief up for explain this a little bit to everybody.

1146
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,200
In case they don't know what it is.

1147
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:04,000
Chief.

1148
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,120
So this is a software agreement for a new company

1149
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,920
for our compliance engine.

1150
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,960
And the compliance engine deals with the tracking,

1151
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,400
the maintenance and repairs of fire suppression systems

1152
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,120
within the businesses in Kenosha.

1153
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,280
Right now, the company we have does a good job.

1154
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,160
This new company offers a little bit more benefits

1155
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,600
with more of a robust platform.

1156
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,000
They're coming up with a new inspection database.

1157
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,000
So that's the benefits of switching.

1158
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,880
There's no cost to the city with the new platform.

1159
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:38,520
Thank you, Chief.

1160
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,680
I was at the meeting when the company came into town.

1161
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,320
I was very impressed on,

1162
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:45,920
they were paid great ahead of me

1163
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:47,120
and stuff they were talking about,

1164
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:48,640
but it was very interesting.

1165
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,040
And like the deputy chief said,

1166
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:52,160
there was no pay increase,

1167
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:53,560
cost increase for the city.

1168
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:54,400
Thank you.

1169
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,440
Thank you, sir, gentlemen, for the 10th.

1170
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:01,280
Thank you.

1171
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,640
I'm not a tech guy, nor do I pretend to be one.

1172
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,160
Does this interface with our new system

1173
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,360
or is this another standalone system?

1174
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:11,200
Chief.

1175
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:12,720
So this is a web-based portal.

1176
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:16,120
It's completely separate of our city systems.

1177
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,920
The Live Company, the new company, runs a platform.

1178
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,840
And how it works is when a business has maintenance

1179
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,520
or repairs on their fire suppression system,

1180
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,800
the company doing the repairs reports back to Live

1181
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,160
and they keep a database.

1182
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,000
And then we have access into that database for tracking.

1183
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:37,560
Okay, when I looked over the contract,

1184
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,280
I did see a provision that

1185
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,640
it must meet the open records law.

1186
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:51,560
So we know that a record has to be retainable and searchable.

1187
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:55,320
How does that would work if we needed to pull the record

1188
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:58,080
on the fire suppression system

1189
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,480
if we were trying to be compliant with the open records law?

1190
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,280
For that, I would have to run it by legal.

1191
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,720
I would think that since we don't keep the records,

1192
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,080
we're not the keeper of the records,

1193
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:14,480
it wouldn't apply to us.

1194
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,360
The contract says it realizes it must do this.

1195
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,800
One other thing it said is if we terminate the contract,

1196
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,560
they would provide an Excel spreadsheet

1197
