00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
You

00:30.000 --> 00:32.000
You

01:00.000 --> 01:02.000
You

01:30.000 --> 01:32.000

.

05:04.000 --> 05:08.000
Call to order the council meeting for Wednesday

05:24.000 --> 05:29.000
September 9th, 2026, roll call, please.

05:30.000 --> 05:31.720
of allegiance.

05:31.720 --> 05:34.800
Tonight, I would ask during this moment of silence

05:34.800 --> 05:37.480
to please keep in your thoughts and prayers

05:37.480 --> 05:43.000
the family of Halen Endal, who was a 2025 Christian life

05:43.000 --> 05:46.640
graduate, a competitive cycling enthusiast,

05:46.640 --> 05:49.120
a lover of the Kenosha Village Room,

05:49.120 --> 05:53.360
who was tragically killed down at school in Tennessee.

05:53.360 --> 05:55.720
We ask, please keep him and his family

05:55.720 --> 05:59.800
in your thoughts and prayers during this moment of silence.

06:30.000 --> 06:36.880
I need a motion on your laptops of the approval of the minutes

06:36.880 --> 06:41.440
of August 17th, 2026, and moved in second

06:41.440 --> 06:42.480
to any change of correction.

06:42.480 --> 06:44.320
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

06:44.320 --> 06:44.880
Aye.

06:44.880 --> 06:45.800
Any opposed?

06:45.800 --> 06:47.040
Motion carries.

06:47.040 --> 06:47.720
Please continue.

06:56.320 --> 06:59.280
We have 31 speakers signed up for citizen comments.

06:59.280 --> 07:01.920
When your name is called, please proceed to the podium,

07:01.920 --> 07:03.920
state your name and address for the record.

07:03.920 --> 07:05.560
First speaker, Kim Alaska.

07:14.520 --> 07:15.240
Good evening.

07:15.240 --> 07:16.760
My name is Kimberly Alaska.

07:16.760 --> 07:22.040
I live at 2403, 136th Ave, Kenosha.

07:22.040 --> 07:23.760
And let's see if we can see it.

07:23.760 --> 07:27.720
I brought a rendering of my house for everyone to see.

07:27.720 --> 07:31.240
My daughter drew that.

07:31.240 --> 07:36.400
And this is my exit strategy when Microsoft begins construction

07:36.400 --> 07:40.400
on their proposed data center.

07:40.400 --> 07:43.440
And no part of this image was AI generated.

07:43.440 --> 07:45.320
I want to assure you.

07:45.320 --> 07:47.480
The rendering shows my house from the south

07:47.480 --> 07:51.800
with colorful helium balloons emanating from the chimneys.

07:51.800 --> 07:55.000
I would like to use the balloons to relocate my house.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.640
I guess I'm going to need a permit.

07:57.640 --> 07:59.920
I stole the idea from Mr. Fredrickson, the hero

07:59.920 --> 08:01.360
from the Pixar movie Up.

08:01.360 --> 08:04.920
He uses the balloon method to launch his house into the sky

08:04.920 --> 08:08.680
when pushy developers come in and take over his neighborhood.

08:08.680 --> 08:10.840
He refuses to leave the house and home he's

08:10.840 --> 08:13.120
made over many decades.

08:13.120 --> 08:14.960
For me, the question remains.

08:14.960 --> 08:18.560
How far up do I need to go to get away from data centers?

08:18.560 --> 08:23.960
Up north, upper Michigan, upper reaches of the Arctic Circle.

08:23.960 --> 08:26.240
Maybe some of you recognize my house.

08:26.240 --> 08:29.480
It was the home and studio of Bob and June CUNY for almost

08:29.480 --> 08:30.840
50 years.

08:30.840 --> 08:34.880
Mr. CUNY built the house in 1956, shortly after finishing

08:34.880 --> 08:38.600
his fellowship with the Frank Lloyd Wright at Telly Esson.

08:38.600 --> 08:43.200
The house is an excellent example of Houstonian architecture.

08:43.200 --> 08:45.200
Mr. CUNY and his architecture firm

08:45.200 --> 08:49.800
went on to design well over 100 buildings in the Kenosha area.

08:49.800 --> 08:53.720
I have a sneaking suspicion that if he were alive today,

08:53.720 --> 08:57.360
you wouldn't be making a deal to build a data center 10 feet

08:57.360 --> 09:00.520
out of his studio door.

09:00.520 --> 09:03.560
Today, that studio door is my kitchen door.

09:03.560 --> 09:08.200
And when I open it, I look out onto 5.3 acres of woodland.

09:08.200 --> 09:12.200
In fact, that woodland was zoned C2 low land conservation

09:12.200 --> 09:15.440
before it was attached to the city as egg

09:15.440 --> 09:20.760
and rezoned heavy manufacturing in November and December of 2024.

09:20.760 --> 09:24.800
Shortly before Microsoft purchased the land for the data center,

09:24.800 --> 09:28.440
I want to be clear, if any older people were unaware,

09:28.440 --> 09:31.400
it is not a farm field outside my kitchen door.

09:31.400 --> 09:34.960
It is a woodland, and the woods are full of life.

09:34.960 --> 09:38.560
A bard all arise every fall and winter to nest.

09:38.560 --> 09:42.200
And I can hear a hoot most nights at dusk.

09:42.200 --> 09:45.160
And a red-shouldered hawk has spent the summer scouring

09:45.160 --> 09:46.640
for her next meal.

09:46.640 --> 09:49.360
I know I've seen her and many other wild animals

09:49.360 --> 09:52.880
making a life in that patch of nature.

09:52.880 --> 09:56.040
Most days, I'm pretty busy in my kitchen.

09:56.040 --> 09:58.480
Over the years, I've made countless meals,

09:58.480 --> 10:01.840
helped children with homework, listened patiently to loved ones,

10:01.840 --> 10:07.920
you have 30 seconds, dried tears, and tried to help mend broken hearts.

10:07.920 --> 10:10.640
And I'm going to just cut to the chase here.

10:10.640 --> 10:13.680
According to section 5.20 of the cooperative plan

10:13.680 --> 10:17.440
between the city of Kenosha, village of summers, and town of Paris,

10:17.440 --> 10:21.200
I quote, attached parcels shall come into the city or village

10:21.200 --> 10:24.520
with the most restrictive classification

10:24.520 --> 10:26.800
in their respective zoning ordinance,

10:26.800 --> 10:27.720
a checked.

10:27.720 --> 10:30.560
And C2 is more restrictive than ag.

10:30.560 --> 10:32.560
Thank you.

10:32.560 --> 10:40.320
APPLAUSE

10:40.320 --> 10:42.120
Folks, I'm going to politely ask that we

10:42.120 --> 10:44.680
please refrain from clapping, jeering,

10:44.680 --> 10:48.520
or giving any commentary as someone finishing up their speaking.

10:48.520 --> 10:50.040
I mean, that way we can get through all everyone

10:50.040 --> 10:51.560
that's signed up to speak tonight.

10:51.560 --> 10:52.600
I appreciate it.

10:52.600 --> 10:53.320
Thank you.

10:53.320 --> 10:55.280
Next speaker, Louis Raghani.

10:55.280 --> 10:55.720
Good evening.

10:55.720 --> 10:57.280
I'm Louis Raghani.

10:57.280 --> 11:00.120
4526, 29th Avenue.

11:00.120 --> 11:03.000
And thank you for this opportunity to speak.

11:03.000 --> 11:05.200
A couple of months ago, I was here.

11:05.200 --> 11:11.920
And with a question about what's happening to Save the Eagles Club.

11:11.920 --> 11:14.160
And I said that, is there a commission?

11:14.160 --> 11:15.360
Is there a committee?

11:15.360 --> 11:16.960
Are there any meetings planned?

11:16.960 --> 11:20.360
Are there any efforts to meet potential buyers?

11:20.360 --> 11:21.760
And that was a question.

11:21.760 --> 11:25.800
On the way out, I found out that indeed there have been meetings.

11:25.800 --> 11:29.200
And lately, it's been publicized in the local media.

11:29.200 --> 11:30.000
I want to thank you.

11:30.000 --> 11:32.520
I want to apologize for not knowing that.

11:32.520 --> 11:36.560
And I want to congratulate everybody who's making this happen.

11:36.560 --> 11:41.480
There are some things in Kenosha that should never change.

11:41.520 --> 11:48.440
The courthouse, main room that was ruined about 1960 or so,

11:48.440 --> 11:54.080
restored with a lot of money, both public and private,

11:54.080 --> 11:58.920
designed by Joe Lindell, the Simmons Library,

11:58.920 --> 12:04.800
designed by Dan Burnham, the Kemper Hall, which

12:04.800 --> 12:10.200
was up for demolition back 51 years ago.

12:10.200 --> 12:13.040
So was the library, for that matter.

12:13.040 --> 12:19.720
There were plans to demolish it and just say that it was old.

12:19.720 --> 12:21.760
The civic center with all the buildings down there,

12:21.760 --> 12:27.400
including the 1923 Central High School,

12:27.400 --> 12:31.280
the original post office, which is now the Dinosaur Discovery

12:31.280 --> 12:37.760
Museum, the post office of 1933, and the courthouse.

12:40.280 --> 12:46.600
And the Eagles Club, designed also by Joe Lindell, 1927.

12:46.600 --> 12:49.880
These things are meant to stay in a college town.

12:49.880 --> 12:55.240
Yeah, college town where over 10% of the residents

12:55.240 --> 12:57.760
are going to universities and colleges,

12:57.760 --> 12:59.600
institutes of higher learning.

12:59.600 --> 13:03.200
You don't do a demolition on a historic building

13:03.200 --> 13:05.240
in a town of higher learning.

13:05.240 --> 13:08.160
You don't do it.

13:08.160 --> 13:13.000
So I continue the Stella Hotel, burned out,

13:13.000 --> 13:15.320
windows smashed, floors collapsing.

13:15.320 --> 13:17.240
Look at it now.

13:17.240 --> 13:21.320
It's a jewel of downtown Kenosha.

13:21.320 --> 13:24.000
We could go on and on buildings that should be saved.

13:24.000 --> 13:27.480
The Nash House, Kemper Hall, which

13:27.480 --> 13:28.880
was ready to come down.

13:28.880 --> 13:31.120
You have 30 seconds.

13:31.120 --> 13:34.800
Which was the subject of condominiums on the lake front.

13:34.800 --> 13:35.720
Yeah, right.

13:35.720 --> 13:37.920
I could go on and on, but you get the message

13:37.920 --> 13:40.160
and I want to thank you for all you do.

13:40.160 --> 13:45.120
Keep the battle alive when you got it.

13:45.120 --> 13:46.440
You don't want to lose it.

13:46.440 --> 13:49.600
And you've got to want to thank you for all you do.

13:49.600 --> 13:53.920
And I wish you a pleasant and productive evening.

13:53.920 --> 13:55.680
Next speaker, Donna Nicolasi.

14:01.480 --> 14:02.560
Good evening.

14:02.560 --> 14:06.400
I'm Donna Nicolasi and live at 4610 Beverly Lane.

14:06.400 --> 14:09.960
I'm a lifelong resident of Kenosha, a retired paralegal,

14:09.960 --> 14:13.640
and currently a bailiff in Kenosha County Circuit Court.

14:13.640 --> 14:17.400
I would ask everyone to recall mid-July of this year

14:17.400 --> 14:19.720
when most of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes,

14:19.720 --> 14:22.440
including Wisconsin, were covered with layers

14:22.440 --> 14:25.760
of smoke from the Minnesota and Canadian fires.

14:25.760 --> 14:30.320
Now that was pollution that we could see and smell and taste.

14:30.320 --> 14:33.760
Everyone was affected, and there wasn't anything anyone

14:33.760 --> 14:35.120
could do.

14:35.120 --> 14:39.920
What many might not realize is, if data centers and the plants

14:39.920 --> 14:43.400
needed to power these centers are allowed to move forward,

14:43.400 --> 14:45.680
the pollutants from these power plants

14:45.680 --> 14:48.600
will be released into our environment and water,

14:48.600 --> 14:51.800
pollutants that we will be unable to detect,

14:51.800 --> 14:55.000
not until years or no, when it's too late.

14:55.000 --> 14:58.920
I'm asking this council, please, do what you need to do

14:58.920 --> 15:02.200
to support halting the construction of this project

15:02.200 --> 15:06.080
to allow for a moratorium to be put into place

15:06.080 --> 15:10.840
until a viable plan for safe practices can be submitted

15:10.840 --> 15:12.960
pursuant to the rules and regulations

15:12.960 --> 15:15.920
that protect our population and environment.

15:15.920 --> 15:21.200
And by the way, the word viable comes from land, meaning life.

15:21.200 --> 15:24.080
If these projects continue to move forward,

15:24.080 --> 15:27.920
I'm concerned and afraid for the health and safety

15:27.920 --> 15:32.600
of everyone, for our land, our air, and our water.

15:32.600 --> 15:36.080
Also consider this, within the next 10 years,

15:36.080 --> 15:39.560
these data centers may well be obsolete

15:39.560 --> 15:43.600
and most likely be reduced to the size of a garbage can,

15:43.600 --> 15:46.160
all at the expense of our health,

15:46.160 --> 15:50.400
the loss of our farmlands, and the contamination of our waters.

15:50.400 --> 15:55.320
I think you know, when you end a people's way of life,

15:55.360 --> 15:57.360
prepare for what comes next.

15:58.440 --> 16:00.680
You have heard the deep concerns of your neighbors

16:00.680 --> 16:02.200
and fellow citizens.

16:02.200 --> 16:06.680
The members of this council need also be concerned.

16:06.680 --> 16:09.320
The pollutants emitted from the power plants

16:09.320 --> 16:12.400
will affect you and your families as well.

16:12.400 --> 16:16.520
It's up to us and you to be strong enough to act,

16:16.520 --> 16:20.200
to continue caring about our future generations,

16:20.200 --> 16:23.720
the same way our ancestors have done for us.

16:23.720 --> 16:24.560
Thank you.

16:26.320 --> 16:30.320
Next speaker, Camden Lash.

16:36.320 --> 16:38.440
A month ago, I was at a city council meeting

16:38.440 --> 16:41.080
where I had serious concerns about the city's decision

16:41.080 --> 16:42.480
to install flock cameras.

16:42.480 --> 16:45.200
At that meeting, I was told I was being paranoid

16:45.200 --> 16:46.600
that I didn't know what I was talking about,

16:46.600 --> 16:48.400
that my sources were radical and misleading,

16:48.400 --> 16:50.000
that these cameras were completely safe

16:50.000 --> 16:52.800
and that our officers, quote, weren't like Milwaukee.

16:52.800 --> 16:55.120
They're not using these cameras to stalk their girlfriends,

16:55.120 --> 16:56.320
even after I had pointed out

16:56.320 --> 16:58.920
that a sheriff's deputy had been suspended

16:58.920 --> 17:00.520
for doing exactly that.

17:00.520 --> 17:01.800
That deputy has now been charged

17:01.800 --> 17:04.280
with two counts of felony misconduct.

17:04.280 --> 17:06.080
On Monday, the Kenosha Police Department

17:06.080 --> 17:08.240
has announced that they are ending their contract with flock

17:08.240 --> 17:10.600
and switching to Axon, a former partner of flock

17:10.600 --> 17:12.360
that does the exact same thing.

17:12.360 --> 17:14.880
The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department

17:14.880 --> 17:16.400
has yet to make a statement.

17:16.400 --> 17:18.120
Is the Sheriff's Department also planning

17:18.120 --> 17:19.160
on ending their contract?

17:19.160 --> 17:20.720
Or are we going to have twice as many cameras

17:20.720 --> 17:22.520
in our community now?

17:22.520 --> 17:25.960
All of these cameras are part of a larger AI network.

17:25.960 --> 17:27.560
Their goal is to collect data.

17:27.560 --> 17:29.240
More cameras mean more surveillance.

17:29.240 --> 17:30.720
More surveillance means more data.

17:30.720 --> 17:32.400
Eventually, you're going to need somewhere

17:32.400 --> 17:35.720
to store that data, like some kind of center for data.

17:37.520 --> 17:39.160
You claim that this data center will create

17:39.160 --> 17:42.440
50 full-time jobs, if all goes well, maybe even 100.

17:42.440 --> 17:44.520
Yet, this technology is being advertised

17:44.520 --> 17:46.720
as a replacement for human jobs.

17:46.720 --> 17:49.760
That these are jobs for hundreds of thousands of people.

17:49.760 --> 17:51.320
So if we do some quick math here,

17:51.320 --> 17:53.680
if you create 100 jobs for a machine

17:53.680 --> 17:57.200
that's literally advertising to replace 100,000 jobs,

17:57.200 --> 18:01.200
you have destroyed 99,900 jobs.

18:01.200 --> 18:03.120
These data centers do not create jobs.

18:03.120 --> 18:04.600
They cannibalize them.

18:04.600 --> 18:06.240
In the event of a fire, this data center

18:06.240 --> 18:10.760
will become a 442-acre lithium battery fire.

18:10.760 --> 18:13.240
No fire department in the country

18:13.240 --> 18:16.360
is well-equipped enough for an event like this.

18:16.360 --> 18:18.360
The trend across the country is that these data centers

18:18.360 --> 18:20.920
are lying about their impacts on the environment.

18:20.920 --> 18:22.600
Families in Georgia's Flint River

18:22.600 --> 18:24.440
no longer have clean drinking water.

18:24.440 --> 18:27.000
An analysis of Port Washington's Vanta data center

18:27.000 --> 18:30.960
showed that it could cost $1.29 million annually

18:30.960 --> 18:33.080
in public health due to air pollution.

18:33.080 --> 18:36.640
Microsoft claims that they do not pollute our lakes and rivers,

18:36.640 --> 18:40.040
but according to the Kenosha Data Center FAQ,

18:40.040 --> 18:42.400
a water impact assessment has not been completed.

18:42.400 --> 18:45.280
In fact, they haven't provided any environmental data at all.

18:45.280 --> 18:47.280
Is that not concerning to you?

18:47.280 --> 18:49.360
The city of Kenosha currently has zero evidence

18:49.360 --> 18:51.480
to back any of Microsoft's environmental claims,

18:51.480 --> 18:52.920
and I doubt that we will see any evidence

18:52.920 --> 18:54.080
before the center is built.

18:54.080 --> 18:57.360
And truthfully, it's because Microsoft does not care.

18:57.360 --> 18:59.600
They are here for our water, not for us.

18:59.600 --> 19:01.000
They will take it if you let them.

19:01.000 --> 19:02.640
They will pollute it if you let them.

19:02.640 --> 19:05.400
They will destroy our community if you let them.

19:05.400 --> 19:08.000
I strongly urge you not to let them.

19:08.000 --> 19:09.000
Thank you.

19:09.360 --> 19:14.000
Folks, please.

19:14.000 --> 19:17.000
Next speaker, please.

19:17.000 --> 19:19.000
Dakota Kane.

19:19.000 --> 19:20.000
Hi.

19:20.000 --> 19:23.000
The AI data center.

19:23.000 --> 19:27.000
Sir, can you come up to the microphone, please?

19:27.000 --> 19:38.000
Sir, and Madam's, the AI data center will use

19:38.000 --> 19:43.000
too much of Kenosha's water to the point that we risk

19:43.000 --> 19:49.000
violating the Great Lakes Compact of 2008.

19:49.000 --> 19:54.000
We will get sued, lose, and we will have to pay damages.

19:54.000 --> 19:57.000
It is a compact made of several US states

19:57.000 --> 20:00.000
and four provinces of Canada.

20:00.000 --> 20:03.000
We will lose.

20:03.000 --> 20:07.000
That is all.

20:08.000 --> 20:11.000
Next speaker, Eric Ollep.

20:18.000 --> 20:23.000
Eric Ollep, 7, 6, 0, 8, 10th Avenue.

20:23.000 --> 20:27.000
City Council members, I want to bring to your attention

20:27.000 --> 20:31.000
an incident which recently happened involving the use of

20:31.000 --> 20:36.000
excessive force on a handcuffed woman by Kenosha police

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
officer.

20:38.000 --> 20:42.000
This woman was being arrested for some unknown reason,

20:42.000 --> 20:47.000
and while being pushed up against a police SUV was punched,

20:47.000 --> 20:51.000
elbow choked, and arm barred.

20:51.000 --> 20:55.000
Considering that she was already handcuffed and defenseless,

20:55.000 --> 21:00.000
this sort of treatment was abusive, unlawful, and unjustified.

21:00.000 --> 21:05.000
It is clear that the officer who did this lost his temperature,

21:05.000 --> 21:10.000
his temper, excuse me, and composure for some reason.

21:10.000 --> 21:18.000
It is an officer's duty to arrest, not punish.

21:18.000 --> 21:22.000
If this woman was resisting, then charge her with resisting.

21:22.000 --> 21:27.000
Let a judge decide the punishment, don't beat or choke her.

21:27.000 --> 21:30.000
This sort of treatment is unacceptable.

21:30.000 --> 21:33.000
I ask that the City Council along with the mayor,

21:33.000 --> 21:37.000
city manager, police chief, and our public safety committee

21:37.000 --> 21:42.000
look into this unlawful treatment of the woman.

21:42.000 --> 21:45.000
Police when doing their duty must be held to a higher standard,

21:45.000 --> 21:49.000
not lower, and if it was up to me, this officer would be fired

21:49.000 --> 21:52.000
on the spot and put on the Brady list.

21:52.000 --> 21:56.000
I would also like our district attorney or an objective

21:56.000 --> 22:00.000
outside agency to look at this case in high detail and decide

22:00.000 --> 22:06.000
if it would warrant criminal charges against the involved officer.

22:06.000 --> 22:11.000
It goes without saying that we are probably going to get sued in civil court again.

22:11.000 --> 22:23.000
City Council members, I don't expect our police to be perfect,

22:23.000 --> 22:28.000
but what happened to this lady was over the line.

22:28.000 --> 22:30.000
It was wrong.

22:30.000 --> 22:32.000
Look into it, please.

22:32.000 --> 22:33.000
Thank you.

22:33.000 --> 22:43.000
Next speaker, Jerry Moore.

22:43.000 --> 22:48.000
Mayor Bogdala and council members, our world today leaves so many

22:48.000 --> 22:51.000
with a hopeless sense of helplessness.

22:51.000 --> 22:57.000
As leaders fight, grift, do secret deals and inhumane acts without consequence.

22:57.000 --> 23:02.000
We see families unable to make ends meet, leaving all on edge,

23:02.000 --> 23:04.000
frustrated, and angry.

23:04.000 --> 23:08.000
Jerry Moore, 10, 9, 18, 69 streets, sorry.

23:08.000 --> 23:12.000
As local leaders, you were elected to represent your constituents

23:12.000 --> 23:17.000
with 70% plus of Americans opposing data centers,

23:17.000 --> 23:19.000
you really kind of have your answer.

23:19.000 --> 23:24.000
And although a vote seems logical to us, we are asking for a compromise.

23:24.000 --> 23:29.000
A pause, a moratorium with time to dial down differences,

23:29.000 --> 23:34.000
workout details, regain trust lost from the now revoked NDA,

23:34.000 --> 23:37.000
which really remains at the core of the matter.

23:37.000 --> 23:43.000
A moratorium would go far to repair and rebuild the unity and trust lost.

23:43.000 --> 23:47.000
I began this cause in January, met with the mayor, stepped back,

23:47.000 --> 23:51.000
then in June restarted because the future needed a voice

23:51.000 --> 23:55.000
as did the bees and the endangered rusty patch bumblebee

23:55.000 --> 23:58.000
that I've talked about at Parkside.

23:58.000 --> 24:02.000
To site gardener-turned-activist Paul Alvolino,

24:02.000 --> 24:08.000
many of us have become accidental activists, not out of rage,

24:08.000 --> 24:10.000
but out of heartbreak.

24:10.000 --> 24:14.000
Because somewhere along the way we realize silence helps no one,

24:14.000 --> 24:17.000
not the earth, not our children, not each other.

24:17.000 --> 24:22.000
For the forests don't have lobbyists, the wetlands can't stand at a podium

24:22.000 --> 24:26.000
and explain why they matter, the owls don't get a microphone.

24:26.000 --> 24:30.000
The soil beneath our feet can't beg to not poison it,

24:30.000 --> 24:36.000
an untouched land can't scream when it's bulldozed into another massive data center,

24:36.000 --> 24:40.000
so humanity can consume even faster than it already does.

24:40.000 --> 24:43.000
That responsibility falls on us.

24:43.000 --> 24:46.000
Our job as humans was never to be endless extraction,

24:46.000 --> 24:51.000
but to be caretakers, translators for the rivers, defenders of the old trees,

24:51.000 --> 24:56.000
a voice for the creatures and ecosystems that cannot advocate for themselves

24:56.000 --> 24:59.000
against profit margins and concrete.

24:59.000 --> 25:03.000
We understand technology has a place, but at some point humanity started

25:03.000 --> 25:07.000
confusing progress with removing every last wild thing

25:07.000 --> 25:12.000
until nothing remains except servers, parking lots, and convenience.

25:12.000 --> 25:15.000
The earth doesn't need more people trying to conquer it,

25:15.000 --> 25:18.000
it needs more people willing to protect.

25:18.000 --> 25:24.000
Because if not now when, we know this is complicated, but Kenosha going forward,

25:24.000 --> 25:28.000
be transparent, be accountable, be protective, be better,

25:28.000 --> 25:34.000
so the future will be proud of what you did today for a legacy of tomorrow's.

25:34.000 --> 25:36.000
Thank you.

25:36.000 --> 25:39.000
Next speaker, Alana Stevens.

25:51.000 --> 25:53.000
Yay, you now own a house,

25:53.000 --> 25:57.000
but there's something as small as an AC unit bolted to the exterior of your house

25:57.000 --> 25:59.000
and that box, well you don't own it.

25:59.000 --> 26:02.000
The house you're making payments on is folded into a cloud

26:02.000 --> 26:06.000
which is connected to a system at a data center that you can't control or opt out of.

26:06.000 --> 26:11.000
Now this isn't just a concept, it's already started to take place in some states.

26:11.000 --> 26:14.000
And one of the largest home building companies in America,

26:14.000 --> 26:18.000
Polte Group has already installed them and NVIDIA supplied the hardware.

26:18.000 --> 26:22.000
A startup company called Span built the system and they're putting them

26:22.000 --> 26:26.000
into every new construction home before most buyers even know this exists.

26:26.000 --> 26:29.000
The Perks, a discounted electric bill battery backup,

26:29.000 --> 26:31.000
free internet and solar installation.

26:31.000 --> 26:33.000
What do they get?

26:33.000 --> 26:37.000
A million dollar asset on your property using Power Running 24-7

26:37.000 --> 26:41.000
for the cloud providers all around the world thanks to these data centers.

26:41.000 --> 26:46.000
Your home has a 200 amp electrical panel and you only use half of it.

26:46.000 --> 26:50.000
Span takes the other half you're not using and installed their smart panels

26:50.000 --> 26:55.000
which monitors your use of power in real time which goes to the box outside your home.

26:55.000 --> 26:58.000
The whole battery along the side of the node attached to your house is great

26:58.000 --> 27:01.000
because you think it's extra power for emergencies.

27:01.000 --> 27:04.000
However, that battery is there for the computer in case the power goes out

27:04.000 --> 27:08.000
to keep the data center node running while you have nothing.

27:08.000 --> 27:15.000
That said, Span said that it is intended not to replace large centralized data centers.

27:15.000 --> 27:19.000
However, I will put into place that if this box were to catch on fire

27:19.000 --> 27:23.000
and your house were to catch on fire, your homeowners insurance will not cover it

27:23.000 --> 27:25.000
and will reject the claim.

27:25.000 --> 27:29.000
We need to understand where the AI infrastructure may be headed next right here in Kenosha.

27:29.000 --> 27:34.000
So while we are all in agreement that this mega data center would like for us to have

27:34.000 --> 27:40.000
so bad except you, I totally disagree with and I want residents to understand

27:40.000 --> 27:44.000
that if we accept this then the risks become even greater for them to keep on going

27:44.000 --> 27:45.000
and adding on.

27:45.000 --> 27:50.000
So the question really isn't how big will the data center be but what could come after it

27:50.000 --> 27:52.000
and what could this mean 20 years from now?

27:52.000 --> 27:56.000
As the Pennsylvania State Director Megan McDowell said,

27:56.000 --> 27:58.000
we are not overreacting.

27:58.000 --> 28:00.000
We are not anti-progress.

28:00.000 --> 28:02.000
We are anti-corruption.

28:02.000 --> 28:07.000
We are anti being told that the billionaire tech bros deserve more protection

28:07.000 --> 28:10.000
than the people who drink the water, breathe the air, pay the taxes,

28:10.000 --> 28:12.000
and live with the consequences.

28:12.000 --> 28:17.000
Lawmakers in this building are going to work for private companies in the data center industry.

28:17.000 --> 28:21.000
Deals are being made, promises are trying to be kept while residents are left in the dark.

28:21.000 --> 28:23.000
This isn't democracy.

28:23.000 --> 28:24.000
You have 30 seconds.

28:24.000 --> 28:25.000
It's betrayal.

28:25.000 --> 28:29.000
They want working people to pay the price while they cash their checks.

28:29.000 --> 28:32.000
They want to hide the impacts, rush the process,

28:32.000 --> 28:35.000
court politicians, and divide communities.

28:35.000 --> 28:38.000
Well, we here stay in Wisconsin.

28:38.000 --> 28:40.000
Wisconsin isn't for sale.

28:40.000 --> 28:42.000
Kenosha isn't for sale.

28:42.000 --> 28:45.000
Our future isn't for sale.

28:45.000 --> 28:47.000
So you ask what do we want?

28:47.000 --> 28:49.000
A moratorium.

28:49.000 --> 28:50.000
And when do we want it?

28:51.000 --> 28:53.000
Now notice.

28:53.000 --> 28:56.000
Next speaker, Nick Prorock.

29:02.000 --> 29:04.000
Nick Prorock.

29:12.000 --> 29:15.000
Nick Prorock 8858 Sheridan Road.

29:15.000 --> 29:18.000
Good evening, and thank you for this opportunity to speak tonight.

29:18.000 --> 29:23.000
The city and the mayor are responsible for ensuring that our neighbors are protected.

29:23.000 --> 29:28.000
Were you aware, and this is according to Mayor Bajula, that the city took the position

29:28.000 --> 29:34.000
that the discount for data centers, that for we energies, if that went into effect,

29:34.000 --> 29:36.000
the city wouldn't have built the data center.

29:36.000 --> 29:37.000
I wasn't aware.

29:37.000 --> 29:40.000
I came and spoke to you all about this in February.

29:40.000 --> 29:41.000
I sent you all emails.

29:41.000 --> 29:43.000
No one said anything then.

29:43.000 --> 29:48.000
I got two replies to that email to tell you about the we energies tariff.

29:48.000 --> 29:54.000
Only two people responded, and one common council member said that they wouldn't make a public

29:54.000 --> 29:56.000
comment because they still need to do their research.

29:56.000 --> 30:00.000
So it seems like you all weren't aware that the city was taking the position,

30:00.000 --> 30:04.000
that if the tariff went through, that you wouldn't build the data center.

30:04.000 --> 30:09.000
So based on the lack of evidence presented by the mayor and the lack of public comments

30:09.000 --> 30:12.000
during that time, it's likely that this never was the position of the city.

30:12.000 --> 30:17.000
The mayor is taking this position now way, way after the fact because it makes it seem

30:17.000 --> 30:20.000
like he was engaged earlier on, even if he wasn't.

30:20.000 --> 30:23.000
The city is not protecting its residents by taking credit for decisions that it did not

30:23.000 --> 30:26.000
stand behind before the decision was made.

30:26.000 --> 30:30.000
Moving forward, last week the common council and the mayor received a letter from a health

30:30.000 --> 30:34.000
professional recommending that the city impose a moratorium on the development of a data

30:34.000 --> 30:38.000
center and the city of Kenosha until the following minimum conditions are met.

30:38.000 --> 30:43.000
A full independent environmental impact statement, including PM 2.5 health impact

30:43.000 --> 30:46.000
modeling has been completed and publicly reviewed.

30:46.000 --> 30:50.000
Wisconsin establishes a mandatory health protective standards for data center sit-ins,

30:50.000 --> 30:51.000
emissions and water use.

30:51.000 --> 30:56.000
The cumulative air quality impacts on the four nearby schools in residential population

30:56.000 --> 30:59.000
have been evaluated and mitigation measures independently verified.

30:59.000 --> 31:04.000
And transparent community engagement processes have been completed with meaningful opportunity

31:04.000 --> 31:09.000
for the city of Kenosha residents to participate in decisions affecting their health.

31:09.000 --> 31:16.000
The mayor bragged last Thursday that the standards him and his team put in place would be models

31:16.000 --> 31:19.000
for other cities in Wisconsin.

31:19.000 --> 31:23.000
The mayor has not done any of the things I listed above.

31:23.000 --> 31:29.000
The mayor's recommendations without regulations are as effective as post-it notes on a whiteboard

31:29.000 --> 31:34.000
during a brainstorming session because that's what it seems like they are.

31:34.000 --> 31:37.000
Mayor, why are you avoiding open dialogue?

31:37.000 --> 31:40.000
Why are you withholding evidence that the neighbors will be protected?

31:40.000 --> 31:47.000
Please pass a moratorium, do the studies to prove we are safe, protect us if the studies show

31:47.000 --> 31:50.000
that we are at risk and engage with the public.

31:50.000 --> 31:52.000
Be a model for other cities.

31:52.000 --> 31:55.000
Thank you.

31:55.000 --> 31:58.000
The next speaker, Montana Peterson.

32:13.000 --> 32:15.000
You all hear that okay?

32:15.000 --> 32:20.000
Montana Peterson's 7102 Pershing Boulevard.

32:20.000 --> 32:23.000
I see that the flock cameras now have bags on them across town.

32:23.000 --> 32:24.000
Congratulations.

32:24.000 --> 32:25.000
That is a great start.

32:25.000 --> 32:27.000
So bag the rest of them.

32:27.000 --> 32:31.000
A surveillance state is a direct violation of our Fourth Amendment rights as private citizens,

32:31.000 --> 32:36.000
utilizing a private company such as flock or now acts on that tracks your Bluetooth signal face,

32:36.000 --> 32:40.000
gate angel license plate removes our right to access public record.

32:40.000 --> 32:44.000
Y'all job is to protect Kenoshaans and not invite harm into our cities.

32:44.000 --> 32:48.000
The cameras are not pointed at y'all homes.

32:48.000 --> 32:52.000
Microsoft data center is not built in y'all backyard.

32:52.000 --> 32:55.000
So it doesn't matter, right?

32:55.000 --> 33:02.000
Allowing these fascist tech billionaires to come in and poison our community is not protecting or serving Kenoshaans.

33:02.000 --> 33:06.000
Those that are on the side of Microsoft are betraying Kenosha residents.

33:06.000 --> 33:10.000
There have been many studies on how emissions from data centers are devastating to be populations,

33:10.000 --> 33:16.000
crops, animal reproductions, circadian rhythms, asthma and other lung conditions,

33:16.000 --> 33:22.000
water quality, mental physical and environmental health due to infrasound emissions, light air and water pollution.

33:22.000 --> 33:26.000
If your main focus is on the economic growth opportunities from this data center,

33:26.000 --> 33:29.000
you are not making a holistic decision with residents in mind.

33:29.000 --> 33:35.000
It's been shown that these companies bring in non-residents to build the centers and hire non-residents to run them.

33:35.000 --> 33:43.000
As residents, we do not want this data center built and it will not benefit Kenosha residents in any way.

33:43.000 --> 33:48.000
I urge our older people to vote in favor of a one year moratorium to slow down this infestation of data centers,

33:48.000 --> 33:52.000
gas plants and battery storage facilities into Kenosha County.

33:52.000 --> 33:56.000
We need to have a full understanding of the impacts on wildlife, farm life, air,

33:56.000 --> 34:02.000
quality, water pollution and human health before making an informed decision to vote on this data center.

34:02.000 --> 34:07.000
It is imperative that at all levels of government we focus our concerns on the residents that you represent,

34:07.000 --> 34:12.000
not foreign interests, not corporate interests and not billionaire interests.

34:12.000 --> 34:19.000
Don't forget that laws do not define morality and we vote you into office.

34:19.000 --> 34:26.000
In a day and age where politicians sell out to the highest bidder, do not be a part of the greedy few harming the good of many.

34:26.000 --> 34:32.000
I strongly ask you to end the contracts, remove the cameras and support a moratorium of data centers to protect Kenosha

34:32.000 --> 34:38.000
and to protect the health of the water, the air, the land, the people in the fragile ecosystems of the Great Lakes.

34:38.000 --> 34:40.000
Be on the right side of history.

34:41.000 --> 34:44.000
You are 30 seconds.

34:44.000 --> 34:46.000
Thank you.

34:59.000 --> 35:02.000
This is the sound of data center makes, by the way, thank you.

35:02.000 --> 35:04.000
Just so we can be clear.

35:10.000 --> 35:15.000
Your time is up.

35:15.000 --> 35:16.000
Thank you.

35:16.000 --> 35:17.000
Y'all have a good night.

35:17.000 --> 35:20.000
Next speaker, Cheryl Swatko.

35:20.000 --> 35:26.000
Folks, I'm truly asking one last time, although we're going to have to ask some people to leave,

35:26.000 --> 35:28.000
we want to get through all of these if we possibly can.

35:28.000 --> 35:30.000
We're sitting here listening, we're taking notes.

35:30.000 --> 35:38.000
I'm just asking for please to be polite and let everybody speak without any type of applause during or any commentary.

35:39.000 --> 35:41.000
Thank you.

35:41.000 --> 35:43.000
Cheryl Swatko.

35:49.000 --> 35:53.000
Cheryl Swatko, 3915, 48th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin.

35:53.000 --> 35:56.000
Good evening, Mayor and members of the Common Council.

35:56.000 --> 36:01.000
I am asking tonight for something very simple, a moratorium on the data center developing Kenosha.

36:01.000 --> 36:07.000
This is not about anti-business or anti-technology and it is not about stopping Kenosha from growing.

36:07.000 --> 36:15.000
Many residents have appeared before this council with concerns about water, electricity, noise, air, traffic, property values,

36:15.000 --> 36:18.000
and the long-term impact in our community.

36:18.000 --> 36:20.000
We are not asking you to ignore the development.

36:20.000 --> 36:25.000
We are asking you to slow down long enough to get all the answers.

36:25.000 --> 36:32.000
A moratorium gives this council the opportunity to establish clear standards before another permit or approval moves forward.

36:32.000 --> 36:35.000
It gives independent experts time to study the impacts.

36:35.000 --> 36:43.000
And most importantly, it gives your constituents who actually live here a meaningful voice as to what happens in their community.

36:43.000 --> 36:46.000
So I ask you, what is the rush?

36:46.000 --> 36:52.000
If this venture is truly beneficial and safe for Kenosha, then a temporary pause should not threaten it.

36:52.000 --> 37:00.000
There are unanswered questions about our water, our power grid, our neighborhoods, our taxpayers, and our quality of life.

37:00.000 --> 37:06.000
Then those decisions deserve answers now, not after the decisions are made.

37:06.000 --> 37:09.000
You were elected to represent the citizens of Kenosha.

37:09.000 --> 37:13.000
Tonight, please listen to the people who are standing before you.

37:13.000 --> 37:16.000
We have one chance to get this decision right.

37:16.000 --> 37:28.000
Slow down, demand transparency, protect our taxpayers and resources, and make sure that our city, not an outside corporation like Microsoft, controls our futures.

37:28.000 --> 37:30.000
Thank you.

37:30.000 --> 37:42.000
Next speaker, Leanne Carpenter.

37:42.000 --> 37:45.000
It's much cooler up here.

37:45.000 --> 37:51.000
Leanne Carpenter 1585 43rd Avenue.

37:51.000 --> 37:54.000
Over the last several months, people have presented, and tonight,

37:54.000 --> 38:01.000
about all of the negative effects that are plaguing the communities where the data centers are being put.

38:01.000 --> 38:07.000
I kind of wanted to talk a little bit about the end game of AI, and somebody already did when they started talking about the floor cameras,

38:07.000 --> 38:17.000
but the end game of AI, everybody, I'm sure, has seen the videos and listened to some of the researchers and the CEOs talk about how AI is sort of taking off.

38:17.000 --> 38:21.000
I'm going to be teaching itself, it's going to be developing superintelligence, and that's not stopping.

38:21.000 --> 38:30.000
There was a man named Jacob Coxin, who worked as a researcher for anthropic and open AI, and he resigned on the 8th, and he put this out on X.

38:30.000 --> 38:32.000
I resigned from anthropic today.

38:32.000 --> 38:37.000
I spent the last three years doing pre-training research in both open AI and anthropic.

38:37.000 --> 38:39.000
Neither company is acting responsibly.

38:39.000 --> 38:45.000
They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

38:45.000 --> 38:48.000
Do not underestimate the power of this technology.

38:48.000 --> 38:56.000
These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.

38:56.000 --> 39:00.000
We have all witnessed the progress in front of us, and the progress is not slowing down.

39:00.000 --> 39:06.000
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.

39:06.000 --> 39:08.000
This is not a marketing stunt.

39:08.000 --> 39:15.000
If anything, the executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in press conferences to make it sound sensible,

39:15.000 --> 39:19.000
but I hear those same people express fear privately every day.

39:19.000 --> 39:23.000
There is no other human activity that possesses this level of danger.

39:23.000 --> 39:30.000
So I looked up some interviews that some of the CEOs and researchers have done when people are asking them,

39:30.000 --> 39:35.000
what are you going to do when AI goes completely out of control and off the rails, because they are predicting that it will.

39:35.000 --> 39:37.000
They don't really know what's going to happen.

39:37.000 --> 39:47.000
Elon Musk, when he was interviewed by Ted Cruz, I believe, was asked how real is the prospect of killer robots annihilating humanity,

39:47.000 --> 39:50.000
and deadpan, he said 20% likely.

39:50.000 --> 39:57.000
A dude named Dario Amade, who is anthropic CEO, when asked what is the percent chance that this ends in disaster,

39:57.000 --> 40:00.000
set very optimistically and excitedly.

40:00.000 --> 40:05.000
I'm an optimist, so I think there's a 25% chance that things will go really, really badly.

40:05.000 --> 40:13.000
Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO, said AI will probably most likely sort of lead to the end of the world,

40:13.000 --> 40:16.000
but in the meantime, there will be great companies created.

40:16.000 --> 40:18.000
You have 30 seconds.

40:18.000 --> 40:23.000
Daniel Kolkajao, I'm slaughtering his name, a lead researcher at AI Futures Project,

40:23.000 --> 40:28.000
said there's a 70% chance of all humans dead, or something similarly bad.

40:28.000 --> 40:33.000
The interviewer said, whoa, whoa, what do you mean all humans dead, and he looked at deadpan in the face and said,

40:33.000 --> 40:37.000
in fact, Sam Altman, same thing.

40:37.000 --> 40:42.000
The job destruction in the next couple of decades is going to be massive, like honestly.

40:42.000 --> 40:47.000
One of the things that I struggle with when I get out of bed every morning is that my job is to kill other people's jobs.

40:47.000 --> 40:50.000
So this is incredibly disturbing.

40:50.000 --> 40:54.000
This is not going to add well no matter what, and we don't need to be a part of it.

40:54.000 --> 41:02.000
We could be the model for the rest of the country and just put a moratorium, or even better, say no, no data centers here at all.

41:02.000 --> 41:04.000
Next speaker, Sandy Kado.

41:15.000 --> 41:16.000
Good evening, Council.

41:16.000 --> 41:18.000
My name is Sandra Kadoop.

41:18.000 --> 41:22.000
I'm a resident of Kenosha County at 6403-238th Avenue.

41:22.000 --> 41:30.000
Mayor Bagnola campaigned on the explicit promise that the number one job is communicating with constituents.

41:30.000 --> 41:40.000
Yet on May 9th, 2024, this administration willingly signed a secret corporate NDA with Microsoft, the worst man in the world.

41:40.000 --> 41:54.000
While the public was kept completely in the dark, you fast tracked the annexation and rezoning of 240 acres of farmland in the town of Paris to bring the city of Kenosha to the city of Kenosha,

41:54.000 --> 42:00.000
and you were hooking up a multi-billion dollar tech giant to the Kenosha water utility.

42:00.000 --> 42:12.000
And the city captures the primary revenue while the county and local taxpayers are left holding the bag for millions in road degradation and heavy hall destruction on regional highways.

42:12.000 --> 42:17.000
I spent my career at Naval Facility Engineering Command for the Department of the Navy,

42:17.000 --> 42:32.000
serving as a primary financial manager overseeing the multiple general fund appropriations for the command and being part of the team overseeing the building by building demolition and reconstruction of the Great Lakes Recruit Training Command.

42:32.000 --> 42:52.000
To manage that large scale of infrastructure, safety safely without misusing public funds, the Navy deployed a full-time dedicated civil engineering core officer backed by an entire on-site task force of full-time industrial engineers, contract specialist,

42:52.000 --> 42:59.000
project managers, and financial managers tracking over a dozen distinct federal appropriations.

42:59.000 --> 43:09.000
Yet here in Kenosha, we are simultaneously fast tracking a $360 million hard rock casino that isn't uncomplicated.

43:09.000 --> 43:15.000
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is involved and hard rock is doing the funding.

43:15.000 --> 43:18.000
You're not going to get property taxes.

43:18.000 --> 43:23.000
They have to decide on what the sales tax is, who it goes to.

43:23.000 --> 43:25.000
Does it go to hard rock?

43:26.000 --> 43:36.000
At the same time, a hyperscale Microsoft data center corridor without a fraction of that oversight capability.

43:36.000 --> 43:38.000
Let's look strictly at the numbers.

43:38.000 --> 43:46.000
This council consists of 17 part-time older persons, and the county has 23 part-time supervisors.

43:46.000 --> 43:56.000
You are a part-time citizen of volunteers who often hold full-time outside careers in our likely reviewing multi-million dollar corporate proposals in your spare evening hours.

43:56.000 --> 44:05.000
Worse, you have a massive technical staffing deficit of the local government engineers, three are working for the county, only leaving only one in the city.

44:05.000 --> 44:14.000
Neither the city nor the county has a single full-time specialized industrial engineer, project managers, nor an experienced contract specialist on the public payroll.

44:14.000 --> 44:19.000
The county's only contract specialist works for human services, tracking healthcare payable.

44:19.000 --> 44:20.000
Your time is up.

44:20.000 --> 44:22.000
I'll see you next time.

44:22.000 --> 44:24.000
Next speaker, Dorothy Nolan.

44:29.000 --> 44:33.000
Dorothy Nolan, 802. 21st Avenue, Kenosha.

44:33.000 --> 44:36.000
My comments today are about the AI data center, Kenosha.

44:36.000 --> 44:43.000
I was kind of curious about what Google's Gemini AI would respond to some of my top questions.

44:43.000 --> 44:45.000
So I've got 10.

44:45.000 --> 44:48.000
One, will data centers create more pollution?

44:48.000 --> 44:55.000
Yes, they will create more pollution by consuming massive amounts of electricity and often relying on fossil fuels.

44:55.000 --> 44:59.000
Two, do AI data centers cause noise pollution?

44:59.000 --> 45:10.000
Yes, they can cause significant pollution for nearby communities from cooling systems, power equipment, backup generators that have been linked to sleep,

45:10.000 --> 45:14.000
disruption, high blood pressure, stress, and heart issues.

45:14.000 --> 45:18.000
Number three, will data centers cause massive layoffs?

45:18.000 --> 45:26.000
AI data center investments are currently linked to corporate layoffs as major tech companies cut staff to fund infrastructure.

45:26.000 --> 45:30.000
Four, will electricity rates go up with AI?

45:30.000 --> 45:38.000
Yes, electricity rates are widely expected to rise as they strain the power grid and require massive new infrastructure.

45:38.000 --> 45:45.000
Five, will closed loop systems use more electricity and push water usage to power companies?

45:45.000 --> 45:52.000
Yes, they could use 10 to 40% more and shift a substantial burden upstream to the power company.

45:52.000 --> 45:57.000
Six, what is the likelihood of power failure as more of these are built?

45:57.000 --> 46:02.000
The risk is moderate to high and specific high concentration areas,

46:02.000 --> 46:16.000
driven less by a total lack of national electricity and more by the unpredictable instantaneous load swing behavior of massive AI computing loads.

46:16.000 --> 46:20.000
Seven, what's the likelihood of an AI infrastructure bubble?

46:20.000 --> 46:30.000
The likelihood of a bubble is significant and rising, driven by a trillion dollar capital expenditure surge that currently outpaces end user monetization.

46:30.000 --> 46:35.000
Eight, what is the impact on AI on privacy and security?

46:35.000 --> 46:44.000
AI creates major privacy and security risk by enabling mass data collection, deep fakes, and automated cyber attacks.

46:45.000 --> 46:50.000
Nine, what should communities consider when faced with a proposed AI data center?

46:50.000 --> 46:59.000
They must consider high energy demand, massive water usage, local noise, zoning rules, and economic impacts.

46:59.000 --> 47:00.000
You have 30 seconds.

47:00.000 --> 47:03.000
Ten, what is the most dangerous aspect of AI?

47:03.000 --> 47:05.000
AI is super intelligent.

47:05.000 --> 47:08.000
We'll think millions of times faster than humans.

47:08.000 --> 47:13.000
We will not be able to outsmart it, predict its choices, or turn it off.

47:13.000 --> 47:23.000
In summary, AI is being rolled out in a menacing, careless way by competing billionaires that don't trust each other to achieve ultimate control and infinite profits.

47:23.000 --> 47:30.000
This is all being done without national or international collaboration, oversight, or regulations of any kind.

47:30.000 --> 47:32.000
This is too important to get wrong.

47:32.000 --> 47:34.000
Pass the moratorium.

47:34.000 --> 47:36.000
Next speaker, Amy Mayer.

47:36.000 --> 47:45.000
Hi, Amy Mayer, 61415 place.

47:45.000 --> 47:59.000
I did a little bit of research too, and I'm finding that there's roughly 364 to 368 operational data centers in eight states surrounding our Great Lakes.

47:59.000 --> 48:09.000
Now, hundreds more are planned and under construction, but the exact figures are not publicly disclosed, and why not?

48:09.000 --> 48:17.000
Well, numbers vary and differ by industry tracking and definition of how they're counted by different groups.

48:17.000 --> 48:24.000
There's a transparency gap where the Alliance for the Great Lakes has found precise,

48:24.000 --> 48:32.000
withdrawal amounts are shielded by the NDAs between private tech and local municipalities.

48:32.000 --> 48:46.000
Communities around the country are reporting low water pressure, low water tables, depletion with private wells, municipal water systems, and aquifers.

48:46.000 --> 48:51.000
Now, again, with water quality, that's been another thing talked about a little bit tonight.

48:51.000 --> 48:54.000
The discharge water contains heavy metals.

48:54.000 --> 48:58.000
It's no secret, and it's also very concentrated.

48:58.000 --> 49:07.000
It contains things like biocides, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-scaling agents within those cooling loop cycles.

49:07.000 --> 49:15.000
Treatment plants are not really designed to handle the massive amounts of water that will be discharged,

49:15.000 --> 49:26.000
and this also will disrupt our biological process by the water plants in order to treat human waste, trying to filter out and clean all these things up.

49:26.000 --> 49:39.000
It's going to be expensive and challenging and maybe not even doable, because the treatment plants just can't filter it all out.

49:39.000 --> 49:51.000
There's also the flooding risk, and I think that's a big one too, because as more land is taken over, we don't have the soil in order to absorb the water from rains and the sure.

49:51.000 --> 50:04.000
Sometimes there's heavy rains and it's just storms or whatnot, but with climate change eminent, we don't really know what's going to happen with the heat or the cold or the water.

50:04.000 --> 50:13.000
If you think about it, it's just unnatural to think about one data center using 150 million gallons of water in one month.

50:13.000 --> 50:19.000
We're 32nd times that, times eight states and hundreds of data centers.

50:19.000 --> 50:22.000
I'll just add one little note here.

50:22.000 --> 50:32.000
Growing up, I had my stepdad was a sergeant, a detective, and a policeman, and I do come from law enforcement family, but he always gave me good advice.

50:32.000 --> 50:40.000
And he said, Amy, if anything doesn't feel right, if you have any doubt about something, don't do it.

50:40.000 --> 50:43.000
Thanks.

50:43.000 --> 50:54.000
Next speaker, Kelly Fogle.

50:54.000 --> 50:56.000
Thank you for allowing me to speak.

50:56.000 --> 51:02.000
Kelly Foglio at 8806, 65th Street in Kenosha.

51:02.000 --> 51:13.000
Speaking of Foglio, I was at the Italian festival last year, chatting with a friend that I had run into.

51:13.000 --> 51:16.000
We used to work together and I'm like, what brought you up here?

51:16.000 --> 51:23.000
I thought you lived down in Libertyville and she said, well, yeah, but my husband works up here at Mount Pleasant at the data center.

51:23.000 --> 51:34.000
Like, I thought that was also supposed to be local people that were employees that are building the data center and she's like, yeah, everybody there's from Illinois, you got to be kidding.

51:34.000 --> 51:40.000
So, just thought, don't know if there's anything in place in that.

51:40.000 --> 51:50.000
I also found out just in researching that we're one of 38 states that give tax breaks as incentives in Wisconsin.

51:50.000 --> 52:00.000
Beaver Dam Center, they were a billion dollar project, Mount Pleasant, a $20 billion project, Port Washington, a $15 billion project,

52:00.000 --> 52:14.000
and they didn't have to pay the 5% Wisconsin sales tax or local sales tax on any construction or equipment that comes out to about $1.5 billion during construction,

52:14.000 --> 52:19.000
$369 million per year once built, just estimates.

52:19.000 --> 52:25.000
I mean, can we recover some of these things through, you know, corporate income tax or utility tax?

52:25.000 --> 52:26.000
I mean, maybe.

52:26.000 --> 52:40.000
I know that Mayor Bogdillo was speaking at the Dam meeting last Thursday talking about all the things that we could possibly benefit from.

52:40.000 --> 52:49.000
And I think when I was watching that, what really threw me is that it sounds like the decision is already made and it's just the details being worked out.

52:49.000 --> 52:52.000
That's a problem for me.

52:52.000 --> 52:57.000
I was hanging out with a friend of mine earlier this afternoon, we're out golfing, actually.

52:57.000 --> 53:06.000
He's on the ops and under the spectrum from me politically and I said, you know, I got to get home, I got to feed the dog and then

53:06.000 --> 53:12.000
head over to do my civic duty and speak, even though I hate public speaking.

53:12.000 --> 53:16.000
And he said, you know, this is the one thing we agree on?

53:16.000 --> 53:18.000
Everybody, I know, agrees on this.

53:18.000 --> 53:20.000
We do not want data centers.

53:20.000 --> 53:21.000
They take jobs.

53:21.000 --> 53:32.000
I mean, I'm coming at it from a biologist point of view and I'm like all the other things that they do and not even thinking about the jobs and the flat cameras and everything else with the data.

53:32.000 --> 53:33.000
Thirty seconds.

53:33.000 --> 53:34.000
Acquisition.

53:34.000 --> 53:46.000
I mean, I'm not going to hit everything that everybody else said, but when big data Microsoft does leave the bag, who's going to pick it up?

53:46.000 --> 53:48.000
Who's going to be covering the legal costs?

53:48.000 --> 53:52.000
Who's going to be challenging when we do have pollution, when we do lose our water?

53:52.000 --> 53:55.000
Who's going to be footing that bill?

53:55.000 --> 53:58.000
Is that us?

53:59.000 --> 54:02.000
I'm done.

54:02.000 --> 54:12.000
Next speaker, Alyssa Stearns.

54:12.000 --> 54:15.000
Alyssa Stearns, 4618 Fifth Avenue.

54:15.000 --> 54:22.000
I'm speaking out today in hopes that you will hear my concerns about the proposed hyperscale AI data center construction site in Kenosha County.

54:22.000 --> 54:31.000
I, among many others in Kenosha, don't appreciate how our community has not had any controller voice in the discussions and decisions surrounding this proposal.

54:31.000 --> 54:37.000
The lack of transparency and legal contract signed behind closed doors with Microsoft to push this project forward is appalling.

54:37.000 --> 54:45.000
I believe local officials have acted and hastened in approving this project without enough regard for the health, well-being and autonomy of our community members.

54:45.000 --> 55:00.000
I would like to take this opportunity to use my voice to advocate for a moratorium to pause the construction of this AI data center in our city to allow for more public feedback, further research from experts on the environmental impact on our land, water quality, and the health of our citizens,

55:00.000 --> 55:05.000
and a thorough investigation into how this may affect property values and rising electricity costs.

55:05.000 --> 55:13.000
In considering perspectives from other Wisconsin communities and communities around our country that have played host to hyperscale AI data centers,

55:13.000 --> 55:20.000
we have learned that any benefits from these monstrosities are far outweighed by the grave costs these community members must now pay.

55:20.000 --> 55:33.000
Any local economic growth through temporary jobs created or profits for the community pales in comparison to the negative consequences community members will face in terms of several quality of life and public health measures.

55:33.000 --> 55:42.000
I urge you to listen to your constituents and prioritize the rights and well-being of your constituents and neighbors in Kenosha over a multi-billion dollar corporation.

55:42.000 --> 55:50.000
I leave you with this paraphrased indigenous proverb from the people who lived and thrived on this land before it was stolen from them.

55:50.000 --> 56:00.000
Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish has been caught, and the last river poisoned will re-realize that we cannot eat money. Thank you for your time.

56:01.000 --> 56:04.000
Next speaker, Jamie Forsyth.

56:07.000 --> 56:13.000
Hello, I'm Jamie Forsyth, 854554th Avenue in Pleasant Prairie.

56:13.000 --> 56:22.000
On June 4th, I used the new carapool service for my daughter, Amity, who was the inspiration child for the dream playground,

56:22.000 --> 56:26.000
and I have found it to be extremely subpar.

56:26.000 --> 56:32.000
The first van that picked her up, I was texted beforehand and said it was going to be a black van.

56:32.000 --> 56:39.000
It was a gray van. It was a 2011 Dodge Caravan with no carapool markings on it.

56:39.000 --> 56:49.000
The van that brought her home was over an hour and a half late and was also over 10 years old and also had no markings.

56:50.000 --> 56:59.000
I immediately complained to the company, the bus company, the city transportation department, and emailed Alderman Pizala and Alderman Kennedy.

57:01.000 --> 57:10.000
I had planned on using this taxpayer-funded service to take my daughter who started college yesterday back and forth to gateway this year.

57:11.000 --> 57:23.000
I am now paying $28 each way to the KAC out of my own pocket, and this is due to her disability.

57:23.000 --> 57:30.000
This is discrimination 101. It is violation of her civil rights and of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

57:31.000 --> 57:38.000
What other groups of people in the city have to get into janky vans instead of taxpayer-funded buses that everyone else gets to ride,

57:38.000 --> 57:44.000
including Gateway, the bus service is provided free for all able-bodied citizens.

57:47.000 --> 57:52.000
I cannot find the maintenance records on the vans.

57:52.000 --> 57:59.000
I cannot find who is the oversight at the state or federal level at this time, which I am looking into.

58:00.000 --> 58:09.000
Driving records of the drivers who is pocketing the money when it used to be nice vans at the KAC, and now it's a 2011 Dodge caravan.

58:10.000 --> 58:16.000
I was given paperwork. I did come to the transportation meeting. They hosted me there. That was very nice of them.

58:18.000 --> 58:24.000
I did get some records. Supposedly 40% are allowed to be outside of the maintenance.

58:25.000 --> 58:30.000
100% of the wheelchair accessible vans are outside of the maintenance.

58:30.000 --> 58:36.000
Some of the ambulatory vans are within the last eight years, but zero.

58:36.000 --> 58:40.000
The newest van that's wheelchair accessible is a 2017.

58:40.000 --> 58:42.000
You have 30 seconds.

58:48.000 --> 58:53.000
This is a disgrace. This is not how we should treat people with disabilities.

58:53.000 --> 58:58.000
My daughter is going to go to Gateway for this year, and then she plans on going to UW Milwaukee

58:58.000 --> 59:03.000
and become an American Sign Language interpreter to help others with disabilities.

59:03.000 --> 59:05.000
Do better.

59:08.000 --> 59:10.000
Next speaker, Erin Rauci.

59:10.000 --> 59:25.000
Erin Rauci, 3749, 15th street, here to voice my opposition to the data center.

59:25.000 --> 59:31.000
I looked through the FAQ earlier for that, because you guys put an FAQ that's got a bunch of...

59:31.000 --> 59:37.000
It addresses a bunch of things that we bring up, like electricity and water and environmental pollution and stuff.

59:38.000 --> 59:43.000
And I noticed a lot of uncertainty in a lot of that stuff.

59:43.000 --> 59:51.000
For example, the electric costs. It was saying the citizens should not have to pay a cent more for their electric.

59:51.000 --> 59:54.000
It doesn't say they won't.

59:54.000 --> 59:56.000
It's like, we hope not.

59:56.000 --> 01:00:01.000
It seems like maybe somebody's not sure.

01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:04.000
It doesn't know. Lack of info.

01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:10.000
We didn't do any environmental studies on it. Straight up says there. We have not done it.

01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:13.000
And it's like, we usually don't do that for this kind of thing.

01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:22.000
This doesn't seem like a usual build. It doesn't seem like a normal business that we can just wave off stuff like environmental or water.

01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:26.000
Also, it's straight up says, has not been looked into.

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:31.000
Why? Why don't we know these things? Why don't we have the answers to these huge problems?

01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.000
These things that we are caring about.

01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:42.000
Taxes. Do they just get to wave off the property taxes or whatever that is?

01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:46.000
The building stuff? I'd love to own a home someday.

01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:49.000
In this world, it's pretty difficult too.

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:53.000
If they get to, I'm asking, who do I talk to for that?

01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:58.000
I'd love to build a house and not have to pay my taxes on that for a decade or whatever it is.

01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:02.000
It's not my problem.

01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:06.000
Where's the information? That's all we're asking for.

01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:10.000
It's like, pause this project so we can know what we're dealing with.

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:15.000
Pause this project so we can look at these problems and address them. Get some answers for these people.

01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:18.000
Myself included. I live here. I care about this.

01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:23.000
This is where my taxpayer money goes. This is my city. This is the air I breathe. The water I drink.

01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:29.000
This is the electricity that funds my ability to have my family over for dinner.

01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:31.000
I'd love to do that.

01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:34.000
Where's the information? That's all we're asking for.

01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:39.000
We want to have concrete. Yes, this is what's happening. No, this is not.

01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:45.000
We hope so. We hope it's going to bring 50 to 100 jobs because that's what other data centers do.

01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:49.000
We're just going to trust Microsoft, the company who actively says constantly,

01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:54.000
we are fighting to reduce the amount of jobs that we have to pay people for at these data centers.

01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:59.000
That's the purpose of them. Artificial intelligence is designed to do work for humans.

01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:06.000
The first people organ users are the ones who are going to have to pay less people to do the same thing.

01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:13.000
I don't know where these answers are. I'm looking for them. I'd love to know because it seems like Kenosha doesn't.

01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:19.000
Next speaker, Valerie Kutchmer.

01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:30.000
Good evening. My name is Valerie Kutchmer, 10209 80th Street in Pleasant Prairie.

01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:35.000
Good evening, mayor, city council members and everyone in attendance.

01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I'm here tonight to address two concerns.

01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:48.000
The first one is RFP number 202-502 for paired transit services, which was awarded to Carepool replacing KAC.

01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:56.000
A friend of mine, Jamie, has a disabled daughter, Amity, who uses a wheelchair and plan to use the services to attend college.

01:02:56.000 --> 01:03:00.000
When she tried the new service, she reported that the vehicles appeared very old and rusted,

01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:03.000
and she was uncomfortable with the driver who arrived.

01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:08.000
After I contacted the mayor's office, she was referred to Carepool.

01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:16.000
Alderman Kennedy provided her with a list of vehicles, and the newest listed was a 2017 vehicle with approximately 70,000 miles.

01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:24.000
She requested information about vehicle maintenance, insurance, and driver background checks, driving records, and federal fingerprinting.

01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:29.000
This was requested after August 12th, and she still has not received a response.

01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:35.000
The RFP requires complaints to be addressed within five business days and vehicles to be safe and sanitary.

01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:43.000
The contract also provides an opportunity to terminate within 180 days if requirements aren't being met.

01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:47.000
Sorry.

01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:55.000
Where the vehicles inspected before the contract was awarded was anyone with disability transportation experience consulted,

01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:00.000
and was feedback from actual users or after this contract was implemented considered,

01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.000
or was a decision primarily based on price.

01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:10.000
Jamie has already spent $280 with KAC the school year because she doesn't feel comfortable using the new service.

01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:14.000
My second concern is playground accessibility.

01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:18.000
I previously contacted Parks Director Katie Elder about new playgrounds.

01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:21.000
I believe do not meet federal accessibility requirements.

01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.000
I was told they do meet ADA requirements.

01:04:24.000 --> 01:04:30.000
As a mother of a daughter who uses a walker and someone who has served on the Pleasant Prairie Parks Commission for over two years,

01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:35.000
I have extensive experience with accessible playgrounds, and I respectfully disagree.

01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:43.000
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with the city and share the federal requirements and accessibility guidelines.

01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:47.000
Everyone deserves the opportunity to access our parks and playgrounds.

01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:51.000
I hope we can work together to address both of these concerns.

01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:58.000
One of the things I do want to mention, over 20% of the population, I believe it's over 25% of the population has a disability,

01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:01.000
whether it's visible or invisible.

01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:07.000
And I always say, it is the largest minority that we are all going to be a part of someday if we live that long.

01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:09.000
Thank you.

01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:11.000
Next speaker, Nev Raman.

01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:29.000
Hi, my name is Nev Raman and my address is 683755th Avenue.

01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:34.000
I have to admit, it's getting harder and harder to come up with something fresh for this council.

01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:42.000
I think of every single angle that's already been taken, every feeling that's been evoked, and nowhere that's been left unsaid.

01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:48.000
And somehow I just keep getting inspired every other week here by every single impassioned speaker.

01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:54.000
So I will read this to you in the rambling thought process I had as I sat down to write it the other night.

01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:58.000
I'm so disappointed in you all.

01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:08.000
We the people have been failed by our government on a federal level, on a state level, and I want to believe not by our local government yet.

01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:13.000
I want to believe that, but I'm having a really hard time with that.

01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:18.000
It seems to me that the same old pattern rings true no matter what level of government it is.

01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:33.000
Money talks, money, and greed, and power, and carelessness, and selfishness, and turning a blind eye, and maybe ignorance is bliss for some of you, I don't know.

01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:36.000
But guess what goes with you when you die?

01:06:36.000 --> 01:06:41.000
Not your money, not those tax cuts, none of that.

01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:54.000
And what stays is your legacy, your choices, the consequences of your actions, your words, or lack thereof.

01:06:54.000 --> 01:07:07.000
Your cowardice, your inability to stand up to corporate billionaires and protect your community from resource exploitation, all in the name of tax benefits, that all stays.

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:09.000
So what will you stand for?

01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:11.000
What will you leave behind?

01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:13.000
How will you choose to be remembered?

01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:16.000
It's not too late to reflect internally.

01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:32.000
It's not too late to stand up to your peers, to ensure your seat in the next election, to choose bravery and independent thinking, something that's in short supply these days, to vote for the greater good, because this is a common sense issue.

01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:33.000
And you know what they say?

01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.000
Common sense is not that common.

01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:49.000
So I'm hoping, after the immense amount of meetings we've had on the same topic, that finally some light bulb will go off.

01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:54.000
Mayor and council members, we've reached the maximum total time limit of 60 minutes for all speakers.

01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:59.000
So we still have speakers left on the docket in order to continue.

01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:04.000
I would need a motion to extend by 30 minutes.

01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:07.000
It's been moved and second to extend the time by 30 minutes.

01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:15.000
If we go over that time limit on 30 minutes, we would have to make another motion to extend by 30 just so everyone's aware.

01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:19.000
So motion on the floor is to extend citizen comments by 30 minutes.

01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.000
All those in favor say aye.

01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:21.000
Aye.

01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:22.000
Any opposed?

01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:23.000
Please continue.

01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:32.000
Next speaker, Arabella Kessler.

01:08:32.000 --> 01:08:35.000
Arabella Kessler 332747th Avenue.

01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:38.000
I'm here again supporting the demand for a moratorium.

01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:43.000
Put simply, our electrical infrastructure cannot handle the amount of energy this data center will require.

01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:47.000
And I'm concerned about Kenosha facing a situation like Gary and Deanna's recent outage.

01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:52.000
Over 9,000 residents in Gary did not have power for two weeks due to severe storms taking out power lines.

01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:55.000
You know who didn't have to suffer from the power outage?

01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:56.000
The local data centers.

01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:59.000
Imagine not having access to electricity for weeks.

01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:00.000
How would that affect your life?

01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:01.000
Does that make sense?

01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:07.000
My power personally has gone out more times at my home this year than I recall in my whole life due to the amount of storms.

01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:08.000
I'm extremely concerned.

01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:12.000
Our power being out will become commonplace if this data center is constructed.

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:18.000
From the global strain fossil fuel plants make on our environment to the hyperscale data center stripping us of our natural resources

01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:22.000
and the automatic license plate readers that are harvesting our data tracking us everywhere we go,

01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:27.000
which I noticed Kenosha switched out flock for axon which arguably has a worse track record.

01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:29.000
All are interconnected issues.

01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:32.000
They are ushering in a system that will impact all of us.

01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:38.000
The complications caused by these hyperscale data centers do not discriminate on who decided to play nice with Microsoft Meta,

01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:41.000
XAI, or any other tech conglomerate that wants to steal our resources.

01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:44.000
This is bigger than Kenosha and bigger than all of us.

01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:51.000
You must realize sooner or later, you, me, your data, my data, their data are the product, not the consumer.

01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:58.000
Much like the robber barons of the Industrial Revolution, these companies are more comfortable putting profit over not only land and natural resources,

01:09:58.000 --> 01:09:59.000
but ultimately human lives.

01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:06.000
Just this week, a US federal court in Mississippi ruled that clean drinking water is shockingly not a constitutional right.

01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:12.000
And an EPA proposal from this past week would eliminate a federal requirement that states notify the public

01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:17.000
and seek comments before issuing air pollution permits for data centers and other industrial facilities.

01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:24.000
The EPA stripping this mandate away directly affects residents, potentially leaving them entirely in the dark on what is happening in their communities.

01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:30.000
Allowing data centers to get air pollution permits secretly goes directly against the EPA's promise of transparency

01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:34.000
and will expose local communities to dangerous levels of suit and toxic chemicals.

01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:39.000
If we cannot depend on the EPA or federal courts to protect us in our land or state government,

01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:43.000
then local governments must uphold their responsibility to the community they serve,

01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:48.000
and furthermore, should uphold their responsibility as human beings to be stewards of the earth.

01:10:48.000 --> 01:10:53.000
If this is not a commitment any of you are willing to uphold, do not expect to be reelected.

01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:58.000
As a young adult, I want to feel represented and proud of the mayor and council before me.

01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:02.000
It is infuriating to hear all of these alarm bells ringing constantly.

01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:04.000
You have 30 seconds.

01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:11.000
For them only to fall on deaf ears, please hear me and all of the speakers in support are demand for a one year moratorium.

01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:17.000
Be willing to examine your beliefs and remember it is never too late to change your mind and support a better future.

01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:19.000
A better path forward is still possible.

01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:22.000
Allow room for that possibility or respectfully get out of the way.

01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:25.000
Thank you for your time.

01:11:25.000 --> 01:11:27.000
Next speaker, Colton Roberts.

01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:44.000
My name is Colton Roberts.

01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:47.000
I live at 4710, 18th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin.

01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:50.000
I know I ruffled quite a bit of feathers last time I came up here.

01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:54.000
I mentioned my personal belief in the fact that I think the mayor is a tomato-headed freak.

01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:57.000
I still stand by that opinion.

01:11:57.000 --> 01:12:01.000
I would like to bring up just a quick couple facts for you all.

01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:09.000
Since 2014, we have known that noise pollution in any way, shape, and reform will in fact cause birth defects in pregnant women

01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:11.000
along with other myriad of health problems.

01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:12.000
My wife's pregnant.

01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:14.000
We're expecting our second daughter.

01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:16.000
I'm very excited for that.

01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:21.000
When this data center is constructed and all of a sudden a bunch of birth defects are in our children,

01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.000
one of you be there to care for them.

01:12:24.000 --> 01:12:30.000
One of you be there for the many, many more hours it takes a mother and father to raise a special needs child

01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:35.000
as opposed to a child who does not have disabilities.

01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:39.000
With the diesel generators and the methane power plants causing air pollution,

01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:43.000
will any of you be there for the funerals of those who have asthma?

01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:48.000
One of you be there for my funeral of my sister who has asthma, my grandmother who's elderly?

01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:53.000
How many corpses must we put in the ground before any one of you decide maybe,

01:12:53.000 --> 01:13:01.000
maybe for an Iota of a second, profit should never come first under any circumstances?

01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:06.000
How many gallons of blood do we need to pour onto people's hands before they question?

01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:08.000
Was it really worth it?

01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.000
Nine million in property taxes? 50 jobs?

01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:18.000
How many people have to lose food and go hungry as the power goes out for weeks on end?

01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:25.000
How many must starve to feed the machine of the AI data center?

01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:31.000
How many millions of gallons of water must we lose before the question appears in anyone's head of,

01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:33.000
was this worth it?

01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:38.000
I did some quick math, and if you look at the nine million property tax estimate,

01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:41.000
that's roughly five to ten dollars a household.

01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:45.000
Can I just pay that now and not have to deal with the suffering of my family?

01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:47.000
Can I pay it for my neighbor?

01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:48.000
They're a neighbor?

01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:50.000
Is that an option?

01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:53.000
Can I opt out of poisoning the air of which we breathe?

01:13:53.000 --> 01:14:00.000
The water of which we drink, and the land of which Christ instructs us to coexist and steward?

01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:04.000
Is that an option?

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:07.000
Or must I be poisoned?

01:14:07.000 --> 01:14:12.000
Must my wife, my family, your families, yourselves?

01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:17.000
It took roughly 50 years for us to discover that lead is not good.

01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:18.000
You have 30 seconds.

01:14:18.000 --> 01:14:19.000
Thank you, ma'am.

01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:23.000
How much longer do we need for, sorry, skipped a bit?

01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:26.000
How long did it take us for asbestos?

01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:32.000
How many millions of children were poisoned because we didn't do our due diligence as humans?

01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:35.000
Sir, in the back, please get off your phone, I'm speaking.

01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:36.000
Yeah?

01:14:36.000 --> 01:14:39.000
You, sir.

01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:47.000
How many must die to feed the machine of which none of us benefit from?

01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:48.000
Yeah.

01:14:49.000 --> 01:14:56.000
Please, folks, continue.

01:14:56.000 --> 01:15:02.000
Next speaker, Gazan Mian.

01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:10.000
All right.

01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:13.000
Kazan Mian, 330314th Street.

01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:15.000
So I'll keep this brief.

01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:18.000
I am an urgent care doctor.

01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:21.000
I spent four years at UW Parkside for undergrad.

01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:26.000
Four years at UW Madison for med school, and then three years in Milwaukee for residency.

01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:33.000
All that so I could come home to Kenosha, my home, and advocate for the health of this

01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:34.000
community.

01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:39.000
I can tell you for certain that data centers are not good for the health of this community.

01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:42.000
We've kind of heard that all night from multiple people.

01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:47.000
I challenge anyone up here who feels different.

01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:49.000
Come and talk to me about it afterwards.

01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.000
I'm sure we'd have a productive conversation.

01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:56.000
I'm a little concerned that this body seems to have not that much consideration for the

01:15:56.000 --> 01:16:01.000
health of this community and a lot of consideration for data centers.

01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.000
I mean, honestly, the majority does not want this.

01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:06.000
You're our representatives.

01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:09.000
You also should not want this.

01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:15.000
And then, honestly, I'd also ask that instead of using the power to stop us from clapping

01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:20.000
for five seconds, you use that time to actually think about what we're saying to you.

01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:23.000
Thanks.

01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:43.000
Next speaker isabella Kuzel.

01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:46.000
Isabella Kuzel, 2531 82nd Street.

01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:51.000
Good evening, mayor, members of the common council, and my neighbors.

01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:57.000
I'm standing here tonight because the only way we will ever find resolution on this issue

01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.000
is if we reach a basic moral conclusion.

01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:05.000
Corporate welfare does not come before the welfare of people.

01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:09.000
Corporations don't matter if people don't matter.

01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:14.000
And as long as the corporate establishment continues to put its greed above our lives,

01:17:14.000 --> 01:17:18.000
they should expect resistance, including right here in this room.

01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:23.000
We keep hearing from big tech lobbyists and their allies that if we don't hand over our

01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:29.000
land, water, and power, the U.S. will lose its technological lead to Beijing.

01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:36.000
To the mayor and anyone else pushing this national security talking point, I ask you directly.

01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:41.000
If you're truly worried about national strength and the future of innovation,

01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:45.000
why are you supporting projects that poison our air, water, and food?

01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:49.000
Why are you allowing environmental damage in our backyards?

01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:54.000
Why are you cooperating to leave us desolate, displaced, and footing the bill?

01:17:54.000 --> 01:18:00.000
You don't build a strong future by sacrificing the living standards of the families who actually live here.

01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:06.000
What's more, we are being kept in the dark about decisions that fundamentally rewrite our neighborhoods.

01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:12.000
You demand to transform our community, but you didn't do not acknowledge we are owed transparency.

01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:16.000
What is this massive infrastructure actually going to contribute to us?

01:18:16.000 --> 01:18:18.000
What's in it for working class people?

01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.000
Why should we care about corporations that couldn't care less about us?

01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:30.000
We are tired of fake promises of cash injections and corporate handouts that we know will never reach our pockets.

01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:34.000
This isn't an investment in Kenosha, it's corporate extraction.

01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:39.000
We want investment in us, our people, our public infrastructure, and our local economy.

01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:44.000
Invest in the people living in this city, and we will build a thriving economy ourselves.

01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:49.000
I ask this council, do not trade Kenosha's health and future for corporate promises.

01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:56.000
Stand up for the people you represent, put an immediate freeze on these developments, and pass a data center moratorium.

01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:57.000
Thank you.

01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:02.000
Next speaker, Rachel Kirschner.

01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:15.000
Rachel Kirschner, 2613 136 Avenue, town of Paris.

01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.000
Good evening, mayor and members of the city council.

01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:22.000
I think this is like my fourth time here, speaking out against the data center.

01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:24.000
Listen up, I'm going to give you a task.

01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:27.000
I know where the mayor stands, but I do not agree.

01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:29.000
I follow logic and reason.

01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:34.000
His fear mongering about China, his fear of missing out, his analogies,

01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:41.000
comparing data centers to simple objects failed to account for the actual complexity, his years of experience.

01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:46.000
These arguments have not convinced me that my family will be safe from the noise and the pollution.

01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:49.000
My family's health is important.

01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:53.000
So now, I ask you all the persons where you stand.

01:19:53.000 --> 01:19:55.000
You have your own voice.

01:19:55.000 --> 01:19:57.000
You don't need to listen and obey the mayor.

01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:01.000
You may have more experience and knowledge than he has.

01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:07.000
I want every other person at the end of this meeting to speak up and say where you stand, and please don't ignore my speech,

01:20:07.000 --> 01:20:12.000
and choose to speak up data centers only to accept where you feel a little insulted.

01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:14.000
Talk about the real issue.

01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:15.000
I'm going to make it easy.

01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.000
I'll give you what you can say.

01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:19.000
Option one is simple and sweet.

01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:21.000
I don't want a data center in Kenosha.

01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:27.000
Kenosha does not have a good place to put a data center that wouldn't negatively affect residents.

01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:29.000
That was nice, isn't it?

01:20:29.000 --> 01:20:32.000
Option two.

01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:39.000
I want a moratorium to see if Microsoft can reduce the infrasound or low-frequency noise still coming out of the Mount Pleasant facility.

01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:41.000
They haven't fixed it yet.

01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:45.000
And I want to wait until Microsoft can commit to renewable energy,

01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:49.000
and not allow gas plants in Kenosha County to support them.

01:20:49.000 --> 01:20:51.000
That was not bad.

01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:54.000
All right.

01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:56.000
So here we have option three.

01:20:56.000 --> 01:20:59.000
I absolutely want the data center.

01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:02.000
I don't care about the residents in the township of Paris.

01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:06.000
Frankly, I have no idea where County Road EUE or MBR,

01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:10.000
and I haven't driven down highway 142, busifying 94 in years.

01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:12.000
So why?

01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:14.000
What should I care?

01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:16.000
They don't vote for me.

01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:18.000
I don't care if this makes me a bad neighbor.

01:21:18.000 --> 01:21:23.000
I want that tax money from Microsoft, and I don't care if the residents of Paris will face data center howl.

01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:28.000
I also don't care about my residents that work for Amazon or ULINE.

01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:33.000
Let them breathe in the polluted air from the gas plant being proposed adjacent to the data center.

01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:37.000
Let them feel the constant low-frequency or infrasound at their place of work.

01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:39.000
I want that tax money.

01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:42.000
I don't care if it scares off the other businesses.

01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:44.000
Microsoft tax money is all I want.

01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:47.000
I want those few jobs after construction ends too.

01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:51.000
I accept the premature deaths caused by the proposed gas plant.

01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:56.000
I accept the risk when a driver, a 9-84, crashes from the infrasound effects

01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:59.000
or the blackout fogging conditions from the heat of the data center.

01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:01.000
I'm okay with environmental costs.

01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:06.000
The documented infrasound health issues and the reality of leaving my neighbors to suffer.

01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:09.000
I will get the tax money and a few jobs.

01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:12.000
Maybe a free Microsoft park.

01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:14.000
Damn straight, that park won't be near that.

01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:18.000
Her rent is data center, gas plant, electrical substation because nobody would go there.

01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:20.000
Speaker, your time is up.

01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:22.000
I'll continue next time.

01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:25.000
Next speaker, Samuel Irving.

01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:46.000
Hi, my name is Angie Hartwick.

01:22:46.000 --> 01:22:49.000
4809 Pershing Boulevard.

01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:51.000
Angie, the next speaker was Samuel Irving.

01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:53.000
Oh, they said you're an engine.

01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:54.000
Sorry.

01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:57.000
I'm not a fan of it.

01:22:57.000 --> 01:22:59.000
I'm not a fan of it.

01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:02.000
I'm a fan of it.

01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:08.000
Hi, guys.

01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:10.000
Thanks for your time.

01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:11.000
Appreciate it.

01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:13.000
Samuel Irving, 8829, 17th Avenue.

01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:15.000
So I got another movie for you.

01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:17.000
You know what Jurassic Park, right?

01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:19.000
I mean, it's classic, 1994.

01:23:19.000 --> 01:23:23.000
Dr. Ian Malcolm says about the whole Jurassic Park situation,

01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:27.000
your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could.

01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:30.000
They didn't stop to think if they should.

01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:32.000
Great, right?

01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:37.000
So back to my speech because that's the one thing I had to say about that.

01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:39.000
I think you can follow along.

01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:43.000
So do we have a plan for when things fall apart,

01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:49.000
when the dinosaurs are loose, or should I say when the dinosaurs blow up?

01:23:49.000 --> 01:23:50.000
That would be especially awful.

01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:51.000
Maybe a good thing.

01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:52.000
I don't know.

01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:57.000
But, excuse me.

01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:02.000
Not just the small penance mentioned in the recent meeting at the Democrat meeting.

01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:03.000
Sorry, meeting.

01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:05.000
Not a slip of the tongue.

01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:09.000
This is the worst implications than just being another fox con.

01:24:09.000 --> 01:24:13.000
We know what we're going to get if they do pull out for whatever reason.

01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:18.000
But what about in addition to that?

01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:24.000
Pagonically speaking, what plan do we have for the likely scenario that this doesn't go as

01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:27.000
planned, everything going according to plan?

01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:31.000
We're going to make a pretty great amusement park, guys.

01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:34.000
I promise you, it's going to be so cool.

01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:38.000
What else could go wrong?

01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:42.000
Microsoft and many other companies can afford to effectively pull out

01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:45.000
or legally do the bare minimum if the AI bubble bursts.

01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:53.000
Sure, they'll pay whatever penance they need to give that little penny to get through

01:24:53.000 --> 01:24:59.000
to pull out at that last minute or whatever happens if the AI bubble does burst or not

01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:01.000
burst, whatever.

01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:04.000
Excuse me.

01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:10.000
However, they're definitely not going to do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:12.000
They don't care about our community.

01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:17.000
What's a few million dollars of donations of social philanthropy when they can make billions

01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:22.000
in the short term and then escape the disaster when the AI bubble burst or whatever happens

01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:27.000
that leaves us footing the bill of billions of damage in health care costs

01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:30.000
and the priceless state of human and environmental health.

01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:37.000
You've heard from everyone else here all the other stats and statistics and everything else

01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:38.000
that was mentioned.

01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:39.000
You've heard those.

01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:40.000
Take those to heart.

01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:42.000
Those are real stats.

01:25:42.000 --> 01:25:44.000
What are we going to do about those?

01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:49.000
That's us citizens being left behind with that.

01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:54.000
The doctor mentioned in himself, what are we going to do about those health costs in

01:25:54.000 --> 01:26:01.000
the future when the AI data center infrastructure does poison our health?

01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:03.000
That's all I have to say.

01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:04.000
Thank you.

01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:06.000
You don't want to run around too long today.

01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:07.000
Thanks.

01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:15.000
Next speaker, Darlene Duncan.

01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:20.000
Hello, mayor and council members.

01:26:20.000 --> 01:26:24.000
Darlene Duncan, 822057th Avenue.

01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:26.000
I'm a retired educator.

01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:32.000
I came tonight just to learn and find out more about the data centers and man, if I learned

01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:40.000
a lot, holy cow, you know, I see a lot on social media and think, oh, that's just, you know,

01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:42.000
dramatic fear-ganging.

01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:48.000
But what I've heard tonight from so many different people, civil engineers, medical

01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:54.000
doctors, I am opposed to the data center in every way, shape and form.

01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:59.000
I don't have any other data to share and so much was already shared with you.

01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:06.000
So I appreciate being able to be part of the 70% as my friend Jerry said that are opposed

01:27:06.000 --> 01:27:08.000
to the data center.

01:27:08.000 --> 01:27:09.000
Thank you.

01:27:09.000 --> 01:27:16.000
Next speaker, Christopher Lyon.

01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:24.000
Christopher Lyons, 3225, 55th Court.

01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:29.000
With the word that we bring to you every common council meeting, I want to stress to you all

01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:34.000
today that we're not just performing, we're real people with real lives and real experiences.

01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:39.000
This council is one of the few outlets and the few ways we're able to gauge your attention,

01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:41.000
at least when we're off the streets.

01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:44.000
I want to emphasize the necessity of what we're doing here.

01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:49.000
Us, the people in the city, are holding you all accountable and especially the mayor accountable.

01:27:49.000 --> 01:27:54.000
Because we don't have a choice, whether it's with this data center, disability services,

01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:57.000
police conduct and whatever else.

01:27:57.000 --> 01:28:00.000
We see something in our community that is unjust.

01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:05.000
We see something that is in our community that we don't want and that we do not need.

01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:10.000
And we've demonstrated that we are willing to go without.

01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:16.000
For those who are willing to listen, you need to meet the demands of the people.

01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:21.000
The ultimate indicator of whether our representatives are on our side, whether they stand with the people

01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:28.000
and whether they stand with us is if you vote no for this moratorium or vote yes for this moratorium

01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:31.000
or vote no on this data center.

01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:37.000
Microsoft, along with the mayor, is going to lobby you very hard if it hasn't happened already.

01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:43.000
Regardless of the status of that, resist that advance because what you're seeing here is bigger than a Microsoft data center

01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:46.000
or we're seeing here as a domino waiting to be knocked down.

01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:51.000
To the elders, if this data center is built, expect many more knocking at the door,

01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:55.000
the corporations with these proposals will sue the city if you do not comply.

01:28:55.000 --> 01:29:00.000
Not only will you be under fire by the people, you'll be under fire by the corporations as well.

01:29:00.000 --> 01:29:03.000
And that's not a great recipe for being reelected.

01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:11.000
So please, whatever vote comes to this floor concerning this data center, vote no and vote for a one year moratorium.

01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:13.000
Thank you.

01:29:14.000 --> 01:29:16.000
Next speaker, Linnea Elrod.

01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:29.000
Linnea Elrod, 8042 42nd Avenue in Kenosha.

01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:32.000
Good evening and thank you for this opportunity to speak.

01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:41.000
I recently read a post with words to the effect of AI is here to stay.

01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:43.000
Get accustomed to it.

01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:48.000
Start focusing on the good things that AI can do for us.

01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:52.000
And stop focusing on imaginary harms.

01:29:52.000 --> 01:29:55.000
Imaginary harms.

01:29:55.000 --> 01:30:03.000
So the people spending a nice summer evening shut inside their homes because they can't go outside

01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:11.000
from because of the noise from the data center 24 seven are just hearing things.

01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:24.000
So the people feeling ill physically and emotionally are just imagining the effects from infrasonic sound waves emanating from the data center.

01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:27.000
It must be psychosomatic illness.

01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:35.000
And the pollution from

01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:37.000
Sorry, I can't read my writing.

01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:42.000
The pollution from fossil fuels used to power generators and power plants.

01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:45.000
Is it early a problem?

01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:48.000
Well, certainly not in Kenosha.

01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:52.000
There's lovely city on the banks of Lake Michigan.

01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:55.000
Can't be a problem here, can it?

01:30:55.000 --> 01:31:00.000
Not in the Chicago to Milwaukee corridor.

01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:09.000
Where there are already elevated rates of respiratory illness.

01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:16.000
People going into the emergency room to be treated for respiratory illness.

01:31:16.000 --> 01:31:18.000
And come to think of it.

01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:23.000
What will happen when we don't see a lot of bees around anymore?

01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:28.000
They say the sound from the data center disrupts their ability to communicate.

01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:35.000
And to go back and forth from the hive and to communicate with each other so that they can do things like pollinator crops.

01:31:35.000 --> 01:31:40.000
And bring us flowers and woodlands.

01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:43.000
Things that beautify life.

01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:46.000
What happens when they're gone?

01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:55.000
Well, it's not really a problem, I guess.

01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:58.000
Because those bees they'll eventually evolve.

01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:00.000
You have 30 seconds.

01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:05.000
They'll get past it and they'll be able to survive, right?

01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:11.000
Well, not if there's too many to let nature heal.

01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:17.000
Other people have said things much more eloquently than I have today.

01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:30.000
And I urge that the voices of the citizens take at least as much weight as those of tech billionaires who are not in the community.

01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.000
They need to carry equal weight and they need to have the right to vote.

01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:35.000
Your time is up.

01:32:35.000 --> 01:32:40.000
On this issue.

01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:45.000
Next speaker, Angie Hartwick.

01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:55.000
Are you sure?

01:32:55.000 --> 01:33:00.000
If I wasn't watching that, I am now.

01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:03.000
All right, Angie Hartwick.

01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:07.000
4-8-0-9 Persian Boulevard.

01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:11.000
I don't like talking, I don't like attention on me.

01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:17.000
I'm not a great public speaker, so it's very nerve-wracking for me, so it's very important.

01:33:17.000 --> 01:33:25.000
That being said, every day my husband and I, well, almost every day we try to every day, go for a walk at pets.

01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:28.000
I'm actually missing my walk today, I missed it to be here.

01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:32.000
So again, it means a lot to me to be here.

01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:41.000
Everything that they said, when it comes to all the environmental harm and damages and it doesn't just affect human beings, it affects everything around us.

01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:49.000
It includes all those deer, those squirrels, the chipmunks, everything, you know, that's out of pets.

01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:51.000
Going there means a lot to me.

01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:56.000
It helped me through a really rough time, the last year and a half.

01:33:56.000 --> 01:34:01.000
And if it could do that for me with everything I was going through,

01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:05.000
I know it would help a lot of other people too, and I know those animals don't want to die.

01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:11.000
Point is, these data centers are going to ruin the planet, if we let them.

01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:14.000
We're not going to have any nature left.

01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:18.000
And if they ruin the planet, where do humans live?

01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:28.000
And I know some people think like, well, it's not going to be my problem because I'm not going to be around, so what do I care if it kills everybody off?

01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:31.000
First off, we don't know what happens to us after we die.

01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:47.000
But whether it's real or not, I like to try to keep in mind the possibility that we might come back one day and don't we want to come back to a healthy, loving planet full of life.

This is an unusual alley vacation

01:43:43.360 --> 01:43:48.680
because half of the property on the lakeside

01:43:48.680 --> 01:43:54.360
actually belongs to the city water utility, their property,

01:43:54.360 --> 01:43:57.600
and they are very willing to give it up.

01:43:57.600 --> 01:43:59.640
But they were hoping to get this thing done

01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:03.520
so that they can get the alley resurfaced

01:44:03.520 --> 01:44:06.000
before the snow flies.

01:44:06.000 --> 01:44:11.080

It is, again, the water department is totally in agreement.

They don't have to worry about that section of the property

01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:22.600

01:49:47.020 --> 01:49:54.020
We had some interest in it through the years, but I'm tired of looking at it, that's for

01:49:54.020 --> 01:49:58.020
the City of Kenosha, and so are most citizens in the City of Kenosha.

01:49:58.020 --> 01:50:05.020
I'm not a fan of the City by a lot of real estate, but in this case, it makes a lot of

sense.

01:50:27.020 --> 01:50:36.020
And we'll have some more details on this piece of property later, but, you know, we bought

01:50:36.020 --> 01:50:45.020
it, proposed to buy it for less than it was listed for the research that I did.

01:50:46.020 --> 01:50:50.020

01:50:50.020 --> 01:50:56.020

01:51:27.020 --> 01:51:28.020

01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:12.520
all we've started the blood donation drive as we did last year I know a number of

01:59:12.520 --> 01:59:17.960
myself a number staff members were able to get out the museum last week and start

01:59:17.960 --> 01:59:22.200
that kickoff I would like to happily say that Wisconsin is starting off in the

01:59:22.200 --> 01:59:27.880
lead and we hope that Wisconsin will do that number one because they will be

01:59:27.880 --> 01:59:32.600
receiving a very large donation to that you to the university as it did last

01:59:32.600 --> 01:59:39.400
year but also there's a tremendous blood shortage across the nation and with our

01:59:39.400 --> 01:59:44.520
delivering blood on all of our rescue squads I can tell you here in fact I

01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:49.320
just got a text today that the blood that I donated last week was already on its

01:59:49.320 --> 01:59:53.400
way to somebody here locally who would need it and it was kind of a nice way

01:59:53.400 --> 01:59:57.560
to kind of see that your donation actually is being utilized right here in this

01:59:57.560 --> 02:00:02.760
community for somebody who might need it and that is truly tremendous so we're

02:00:02.760 --> 02:00:07.000
going to continue this drive through the first week of December our next event

02:00:07.000 --> 02:00:12.840
is scheduled for September 18th you can check our website as well as all of our

02:00:12.920 --> 02:00:17.800
social media accounts to find out what the other locations are if you can't make any of

02:00:17.800 --> 02:00:22.840
those locations you can still continue to donate and I would encourage everyone to

02:00:22.840 --> 02:00:26.760
please do so and if when you do that to keep in mind that you are doing this for

02:00:26.760 --> 02:00:32.360
the Big Ten Challenge then you can sign up that way and you can identify hopefully

02:00:32.360 --> 02:00:41.400
the University of Wisconsin for as a recipient of that donation. Secondly this is coming Friday

02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:53.000
September 11th we will be having a memorial event at the band show it is a joint

02:00:54.200 --> 02:01:02.680
event between ourselves the county and we would like to invite everyone here as well as all

02:01:02.680 --> 02:01:09.160
members of the public to come out and commemorate and remember that tragic day 25 years ago

02:01:10.120 --> 02:01:14.520
I think it's very important we've got an agenda I think that is very

02:01:15.240 --> 02:01:21.080
that will honor the memory of those who we lost but honor what we as a community need to come

02:01:21.080 --> 02:01:27.000
together on a variety of topics and I hope that when you're there you can have that

02:01:27.000 --> 02:01:31.880
reflection as you attend this event it will be at the band show starting at 1 p.m.

02:01:32.600 --> 02:01:36.120
There will be chairs and things set up for folks there but I would encourage people to get there

02:01:36.120 --> 02:01:41.320
a little bit earlier I would anticipate there to be a pretty decent crowd there so this Friday

02:01:41.320 --> 02:01:49.880
September 11th 1 p.m. at the band show. Gentlemen from the third thank you Your Honor I'll be very

02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:58.040
brief school has just started for most of our students so I'm encouraging everybody when you

02:01:58.040 --> 02:02:04.520
see these kids be very very careful uh school zones when they say it's 15 miles an hour that

02:02:04.520 --> 02:02:10.680
means 15 miles an hour that doesn't mean 25 30 and if you're following a school bus it

02:02:10.680 --> 02:02:18.520
stops and that flap on the driver's side comes out that says stop that means stop it doesn't mean

02:02:18.520 --> 02:02:23.160
while you can sneak around because you didn't see the kid coming around the front of the school bus

02:02:23.160 --> 02:02:31.080
so I mean the little kids are our precious future and uh you know you don't don't be

02:02:31.080 --> 02:02:33.960
thoughtless and let's keep their safety in mind thank you

02:02:36.840 --> 02:02:42.920
Okay. Gentlemen from the 10th. Thank you Mr. Mayor I just wanted to comment on one of the items

02:02:42.920 --> 02:02:49.880
tonight the city of Kenosha now owns the Bonnie Hayne location as is spoken on earlier today

02:02:51.400 --> 02:02:58.360
it's been a long time to get to this point we had a proposal at one time for Navy housing

02:02:58.360 --> 02:03:04.520
we had another proposal one time for Walmart we've had various proposals come for the development

02:03:04.520 --> 02:03:09.800
of that land we will now be in charge of the development of that land and I think that's very

02:03:09.800 --> 02:03:18.280
important um for those who came before me I want to thank them for having a vision

02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:24.120
and seeing where this could possibly go to 30 years ago

02:03:24.760 --> 02:03:32.200
um so the fact that this comes to fruition tonight I think is very important and want to thank

02:03:32.200 --> 02:03:39.160
everyone that was involved in getting us to this point thank you sir anyone else if not a motion

02:03:39.160 --> 02:03:45.240
