1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
You

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
You

3
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
You

4
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
You

5
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You

6
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
You

7
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
You

8
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
You

9
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
You

10
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Call to

11
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
The council meeting for

12
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Monday, July 20, 2026.

13
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Roll call please.

14
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Here.

15
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Here.

16
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Kids.

17
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Not all there.

18
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Okay, let the

19
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Rec reflect the quorum is

20
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Present.

21
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
The lady from the sixth and the

22
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Gentleman from the 14th are

23
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Excused.

24
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
I would ask her to please rise

25
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,800
I would ask a one to please rise for a moment of silence, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

26
00:04:42,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Okay, please continue.

27
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:07,840
We have ten speakers who signed up for citizen comments.

28
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,240
When your name is called, please proceed to the podium, state your name and address

29
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,240
for the record.

30
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,720
The first speaker is Dorothy Nolan.

31
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,720
Good evening.

32
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,120
Can you hear me okay?

33
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,120
Okay.

34
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,120
My name is Dorothy Nolan.

35
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,960
I live at 802.21 in Kenosha.

36
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,480
My comments today are regarding the proposed AI data center.

37
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,280
This past weekend I had plans for a biking event in Elgin, Illinois.

38
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,440
When the wildfire smoke came pouring into Kenosha on Thursday, it was too late to cancel.

39
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,720
I had to wear a mask and became congested when I rode my bike the next day.

40
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,080
I found my oxygen saturation had decreased from 98 to 94%.

41
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,160
I don't have asthma, but I felt like I did.

42
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,760
I bring this up because we're being told to expect more and more of this.

43
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,320
And what I experienced last week was the worst I've ever seen in my lifetime.

44
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,120
What's even worse was that I learned that both the U.S. and Canada spray their forests

45
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,400
with glyphosate, otherwise known as Roundup, to kill deciduous trees that compete with

46
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,000
the more profitable softwood crops.

47
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Kenosha already has an F ozone rating from the American Lung Association, so I'm wondering

48
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,840
how our air will be further degraded with more AI data centers and two gas fire power

49
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,240
plants in the area.

50
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,520
On top of all that, one of the headlines from the weekend was about the EPA proposing

51
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,440
to eliminate the requirement for public comment on air permits for data centers in other

52
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400
facilities.

53
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,800
This AI push is all about big businesses and politicians that only see dollar signs.

54
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,200
A is not something we absolutely have to have, but air certainly is.

55
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,360
A lot of people will say, why don't you just move?

56
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,120
My question is, where can you move where there's not an AI data center being considered?

57
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,520
Even if there was such a magical place, there's only a small percentage of people that can

58
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,840
either have the resources or ability to move away for a variety of reasons.

59
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,960
When 70% of Americans agree they do not want AI data centers in their city and the American

60
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Lung Association says our air quality is already graded at an F, I would think this council

61
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,320
would think long and hard about whether this is the best thing for Kenosha.

62
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,920
We are going backwards in this country with respect to energy pollution.

63
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,960
The earth and all living things on it can only handle so much, and most of us are getting

64
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,880
the message loud and clear, thanks.

65
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker Sheryl Swatko?

66
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Hi, I'm Sheryl Swatko, 39, 15, 48th Avenue.

67
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,400
I actually have two, one is short and one a little longer.

68
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,720
I'm concerned about the stoplights that are on Washington Road and 47th Avenue.

69
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Every day drivers make decisions that affect not only their lives, but the lives of everyone

70
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,960
around them.

71
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,680
The traffic lights on Washington Road and 47th Avenue have too many cars, trucks and

72
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,400
some eyes choosing to run a lead to red light.

73
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Even tonight on our way to here to the meeting, we have a thing in our car, we say green light,

74
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,920
and sure enough someone ran the light again on the red side.

75
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,160
No appointment to deliver your destination is worth risking a life.

76
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,080
Taking a moment to actually stop at the red light could mean the difference between arriving

77
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,720
safely and causing a tragedy.

78
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Could the answer be decreasing the speed limit on Washington Avenue?

79
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,800
Red light cameras have permitted more police presence, improved signal timing as that

80
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,240
yellow light is very short, speed feedback signs.

81
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,600
As I said before, someone may lose their life because of poor decisions made on Washington

82
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Road and 47th Avenue.

83
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,080
There are so many accidents.

84
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,080
We hear them all the time.

85
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Here at the crash boom, bam, we go, someone ran a light.

86
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,160
The other thing, good evening mayor, common consul and city staff members.

87
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,840
I'm here tonight to voice my opposition to building an AI data center in Kenosha.

88
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,560
Our town is more than a place on a map.

89
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:15,760
It is our home.

90
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,800
A large AI data center could fundamentally change our city.

91
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,240
These data centers raise questions about electricity usage, water consumption, continuous noise,

92
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360
increased traffic and environmental impacts.

93
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240
These are reasonable questions and not obstacles to progress.

94
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,920
We need to ask questions.

95
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Who truly benefits?

96
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,800
Do the rewards go to the outside investors or large corporations while local residents

97
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,000
bear most of the long-earned impacts?

98
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Then we should consider perhaps a moratorium until all questions can be addressed.

99
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:52,840
Progress should never come at the expense of the people who call Kenosha home.

100
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,800
We have the right to protect our community, to expect transparency and to insist that

101
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,480
any major development truly serves the public interest.

102
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,400
I encourage you to put our community first, listen to our concerns and place a year-long

103
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:12,840
moratorium on any approval for an AI data center until the public has clear, complete

104
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,680
and verifiable answers to the many questions surrounding this project.

105
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,280
Thank you.

106
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:26,080
Next speaker, Marita Huff.

107
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Marita Huff, 793934th Avenue.

108
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:38,520
Just to follow up on what these people were saying about the data center, the energy plants

109
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,920
are run by natural gas that they want to build.

110
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,720
Natural gas, methane, is the worst greenhouse gas.

111
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,840
It doesn't have the particulates of coal, but as far as a greenhouse gas, it is the

112
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,840
worst.

113
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,160
And we're going to build two of those fact-generating stations here.

114
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,760
It's always escaping from its pipes and its burning process, so you don't want to be

115
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,560
doing that.

116
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:12,480
I'll put back on my homeless person, facade, because you know that that's what I come

117
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,480
to talk to you about.

118
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,480
And you probably wonder, why does she come and talk to us about that?

119
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,200
How does she expect us to do?

120
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,680
Well, tonight I want to clarify a couple of things.

121
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,320
I have probably mentioned supporters of shelter in the past, and you didn't know what I was

122
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,320
talking about.

123
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,600
I call it a loose coalition of supporters of homeless people.

124
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:41,440
And it includes the leadership of the Shalom Center, KHDS, the Welcome Center, ELC outreach,

125
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Salvation Army, and other St. Vincent de Paul.

126
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:56,440
These people come to our meetings, they know what we're discussing, and so we also have

127
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:02,320
individuals, and those individuals have been the backbone of the volunteers that helped

128
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:10,680
the Welcome Center to be open over night, starting in December of last year.

129
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:15,880
They were the folks that were there before staff was hired to help, welcome the Hope

130
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680
Hub at Shalom Center be open.

131
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:23,840
And it continues to be open now every night from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m.

132
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Which is a big help to 20 people, and so Shalom, the supporters of shelter also help

133
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,880
to convince the Shalom Center, they always thought that you needed a 24-hour shelter

134
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240
that overnight shelter wasn't good enough.

135
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:49,560
But I don't know if we had a lot to do with that, but we did say nighttime is the worst

136
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:53,360
because there's other places people can be during the day.

137
00:12:53,360 --> 00:13:00,440
So we are going to be having our second point-in-time count for 2026 this Wednesday.

138
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,120
It starts at 11 p.m. and goes to 3 a.m.

139
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:12,800
And they've been doing this since 2011, and for a decade they found more or less 20 people

140
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,800
outside.

141
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:21,680
In 2024, the number increased, and in July 2025, 57 people were found outside.

142
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,920
So I wonder how many we will find.

143
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:31,160
I made a list, and I have the names of 50 people that I know personally from feeding

144
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,440
them at my church that are living outside on the ground or in their vehicle.

145
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,120
So I wonder how many of those will find.

146
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Those people are every description you could imagine.

147
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,760
Some are mentally ill, some use drugs, but a lot of them don't.

148
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,880
They're men, women, every age from 16 to 75.

149
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,880
One's a diabetic on insulin, which is really tricky to try and figure out how much insulin

150
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,960
to take when you don't know if you're going to get food that day.

151
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:05,480
One is a young man who seems intelligent when you first talked to him, but has bad judgment

152
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,320
and ended up in the lake and almost drowned trying to cool off on Thursday when it was

153
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,080
so hot.

154
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:21,720
So I just want to say that we need warming and cooling centers in Kenosha.

155
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:28,480
We have nothing on holidays, nothing overnight except for those 20 people that are at the

156
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:36,240
Hope Hub, and very little on weekends for a warming cooling center, a little bit, a few

157
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,440
hours at the museum and the two of the libraries.

158
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,880
So the supporters of shelter have a plan.

159
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360
We borrowed it from Washington County, Oregon.

160
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,800
It's been used there for several years.

161
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,520
We're trying to craft it into something that would work here.

162
00:14:54,520 --> 00:15:00,000
We would like to get a roundtable of people that know about these members of supporters

163
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,400
of shelter and perhaps the mayor and other people that he would like to be there and

164
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:11,460
plug in what we need in Kenosha County to make this work because we need to have this

165
00:15:11,460 --> 00:15:15,480
ready to go by the 1st of October, ideally.

166
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,680
And you have 30 seconds.

167
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:24,800
So what we need from you is listen to your constituents if they call and want to tell

168
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,240
you about their concern for the homeless and try to just let us do what needs to be done

169
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,240
for these people that are getting frostbite and losing limbs and are miserable outside.

170
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,400
So thank you.

171
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,040
Next speaker, Arlene Bennett.

172
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Good evening.

173
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,480
My name is Dr. Ariane Bennett.

174
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,920
I live at 3110 169th Avenue.

175
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:03,720
I'm here to ask the mayor and the city council for a moratorium to pause the construction

176
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:11,320
or planning of the data center in Kenosha until a greater study and a more in-depth approach

177
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:16,320
to find out what the possible negative impacts to the residents of Kenosha are.

178
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:23,280
These include financial impacts, health impacts, environmental impacts, rising energy costs,

179
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,120
declining property values, and a declining quality of living.

180
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:34,240
I want to say that some of my other peers here will be talking about the health impacts,

181
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,800
but I want to talk about the technology aspect of it.

182
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,360
I've been working in the field of higher education and mental health for the last

183
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,960
three decades, and I want to say that I use technology every day.

184
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,960
I am not anti-technology.

185
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,680
In fact, it was technology that allowed me in 2020 during the COVID lockdown to move

186
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,400
here as a single parent with my kids for a greater quality of life.

187
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,880
But I want everyone to understand that the trajectory of technology is one in which things

188
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,360
get faster, smaller, and more efficient over time.

189
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:18,000
I started my undergraduate degree in 1981, and at that time, a computer was the size

190
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,280
of this room and cost millions of dollars.

191
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,880
In three and a half years before I graduated, computers sat on people's desks, and it was

192
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,920
the beginning of the PC.

193
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,240
And now we all have not only computers in our home, but I'm wearing a computer the size

194
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,600
of a watch, that when I was a little girl, you might see on the Jetsons.

195
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:44,280
So what we need is to understand that we're making permanent environmental and health

196
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:50,960
decisions and financial decisions for a technology that is changing so quickly that the hyperscale

197
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,520
data centers may not be needed within just a few short years.

198
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,880
History repeats itself, and human beings are tend to make mistakes over and over again.

199
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,280
And I want to remind everybody about the .com bubble, which I also lived through in the

200
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280
90s and the early 2000s.

201
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,720
Little closer to home, remind everybody about the Foxham debacle.

202
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,080
So companies right now are spending hundreds and billions of dollars in AI construction,

203
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,000
and in fact, I asked AI, generative AI today, about what the comparison is between the

204
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,400
.com bubble and the AI bubble.

205
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:37,800
And it was really interesting because AI responded, I quote, there is a risk of near-term over-building.

206
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,520
And many enterprise companies have yet to see an investment on their return, a return

207
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,280
on their investment.

208
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,320
So that came from chat GBT.

209
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,600
So I encourage you to think about you're making permanent decisions for the residents

210
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,280
of Kenosha for a technology that may not be needed within a few short years.

211
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,520
So I'm asking again for a moratorium to pause and halt the construction or planning of

212
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,320
the AI data center until there can be greater study carried out.

213
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Thank you.

214
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Next speaker, Colton Roberts.

215
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:28,240
My name is Colton Roberts, I live at 4710, 18th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin.

216
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,480
I'm here to further talk about the data center, but to also correct myself.

217
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,840
Last time I was here, I talked about the flock cameras.

218
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,080
I give a quote to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin actually said that.

219
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,080
I apologize.

220
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,120
Second, it was not the VP of sales that was, that were using the cameras for nefarious

221
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,640
purposes, but the VP of the company.

222
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,120
The reason I correct myself is because I'm not here to spread my information.

223
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:53,160
I just want to talk about real issues, real impacts.

224
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,320
And if I'm wrong, I apologize, I will correct myself.

225
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,520
Again, to further along the data center, not good, just making that clear.

226
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,040
But I would also like to talk about some zoning policies.

227
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,320
The city of Kenosha has made clear through the harbor district plan and the, I haven't

228
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,320
heard much about it, but the plan to move the dump to create a more larger economical

229
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,320
area.

230
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,120
These big grandiose projects, like the data center along with it, what are their impacts?

231
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:25,160
You have these big grandiose, oops, didn't know this was on wheels.

232
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,160
You have this big grandiose problem.

233
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,360
Little, sorry, I'm nervous.

234
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:38,480
Instead of having these big grandiose buildings, we should have small cumulative impacts.

235
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:49,680
Let small businesses and mediums density buildings come over and grow over time.

236
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,720
If I know per square acre, small businesses in medium density buildings like we have downtown

237
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,480
are far more valuable to the city through tax base and jobs than, you know, Walmart is,

238
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,960
even though Walmart may provide more money short term to the city.

239
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:15,640
So all I ask is that we look at new ways to make wealth and further, further developments

240
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,640
of little increments as opposed to a large grandiose plants.

241
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,640
Thank you.

242
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:27,360
Next speaker, Greg Kischlin.

243
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:38,120
Good evening, my name is Greg Kischlin, I live in 8638, 32nd Avenue.

244
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:45,120
I would like to remind everybody that there's a free pantry for anybody who needs food

245
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,560
outside the entrance to the Southwest Library.

246
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,960
It gets emptied quickly.

247
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,760
I'll just say that.

248
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,440
I'm not here to support the president.

249
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,200
I speak against him.

250
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,740
No man is born better than any other.

251
00:22:01,740 --> 00:22:05,240
Our president does not believe that.

252
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,440
Every person has a right to life liberty in the pursuit of happiness.

253
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,520
That's equality in declaring their independence 250 years ago.

254
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:22,520
The founders chose equality as a building block of both the declaration and the constitution.

255
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,120
The constitution was intended to secure freedom for all individuals.

256
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:31,880
The constitution was written to prevent government abuse of individual rights.

257
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,200
It also limits the authority of elected officials to govern.

258
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,440
A ruling noble class is poisoned to democratic government.

259
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,480
Autocracy is poisoned.

260
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,880
Racial superiority is poisoned, and so is the rule of unlimited money.

261
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,920
If all men are created equal, then kings in racial supremacy and dictators cannot coexist

262
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,080
alongside the principle of equality for all human beings.

263
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,080
Those propositions are incompatible.

264
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,080
They cannot be reconciled, which leads us to a non-judicial warrants being used to

265
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,480
seize brown people and accented people.

266
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:20,480
Concentrating those people in camps raises the question why, for what purpose?

267
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,480
A new term, detention centers, has appeared.

268
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,680
We'll have 34 separate facilities by this year's end.

269
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:37,360
16 of those facilities are designated for processing or long-term detention.

270
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,200
This is the government's phrase, not mine.

271
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:49,360
State-large-scale facilities will each have a capacity of 7 to 10,000 people inside refurbished warehouses.

272
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,120
That population is at least 60,000 people.

273
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:58,960
Detention centers are the last step before elimination of these detainees from the U.S.

274
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,520
landscape without leaving evidence left behind.

275
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,600
Does this sound at all familiar?

276
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,360
It should.

277
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:14,480
The words and actions of the current administration shout white supremacy, such as ending birthright

278
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:22,480
citizenship for immigrants opposing minorities' access to the ballot, minority voter removal

279
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,080
and suppression among other actions.

280
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,200
Directly from Project 2025, our president's stated goal is to increase and concentrate

281
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:39,400
executive power by blaming the less than equal groups for the social and economic issues

282
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,720
facing the United States.

283
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:49,040
His actions include, deporting millions of illegal immigrants who are not equal, demanding

284
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:55,880
the end of birthright citizenship, suppressing black dissent and erasing black history by

285
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:01,680
decree, remapping of black voter districts for political advantage.

286
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:08,040
Allegations of stolen elections in non-white districts without proof, allegations of voting

287
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:14,680
by illegal non-whites, again, unprovable, characterizing illegal immigrants as criminals

288
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:24,240
mentally deranged or rapists, threatening intimidation of non-white voters during future elections.

289
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,760
That came from Steve Bannon.

290
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:33,760
When he speaks of repatriating people back to shithole countries, that is an uncensored

291
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,200
white nationalist speaking.

292
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Democracy demands equality when our national elected officials openly embrace the notion

293
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:49,520
that one person, meaning himself, or one group is better or worse than the rest of us by

294
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:55,760
birthright than those principles handed down by the founders become a call to action.

295
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,680
All men are created equal, means that no one in the United States is born with extra

296
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,840
rights or fewer rights.

297
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,080
Sir, you have 30 seconds.

298
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,880
The United States is by design a diverse republic of equal access and equal opportunity.

299
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,480
They are unalienable rights.

300
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,440
I oppose the president.

301
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:23,840
We are not a stratified nation of white nationalists, despite his beliefs and his actions.

302
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:35,840
Next speaker, Jerry Moore.

303
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,840
Good evening.

304
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:43,120
I'm Jerry Moore, 10, 9, 18, 69th Street, 17th District, and I'm here to talk about the

305
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,800
data center issue.

306
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,520
First, I wanted to say I was going to talk about the bees again.

307
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,200
I was going to talk about the rusty patch bumblebee, which is on the endangered species

308
00:26:53,200 --> 00:27:00,080
list, which is by UW Parkside, and what I talked about two weeks ago, I talked about

309
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:07,040
the electronic vibration waves and how it affects their habitats.

310
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,720
Until yesterday, my husband brought me an article that talked about how our president

311
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:19,240
had completely changed the meaning of the word harm in the endangered species act.

312
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,760
So as a result, I'm not here on behalf of the rusty patch bumblebee, but it's still

313
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,600
near and dear to me.

314
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:37,160
First I'd like to thank, for the recently posted frequently asked questions, a data center

315
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,160
link on the city website.

316
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,880
I'd like to thank that for being done.

317
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,880
Good information.

318
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:48,880
I'd like to thank Alderman Kennedy, who passed this information along to me, and I suggest

319
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,840
that maybe other alders do the same to their constituents.

320
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:59,440
I also appreciated seeing an answer to my question about the environmental study.

321
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,640
Thank you.

322
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:08,000
I do hope this is also bilingual at some point, and at least it goes out in some manner through

323
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:16,080
a mailing, possibly inserted with water bills, taxes, meals on wheels, trays, library emails

324
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,120
or something like that in a flyer type of thing in a bright color so that it stands

325
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:26,400
out from the white paper.

326
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:35,000
Since the July 6 meeting, I've had some input from friends who have called me asking questions.

327
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,200
Some have met with the mayor, thank you, Dave.

328
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,920
Others are calling alder people.

329
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Yet so many are still unaware, puzzled and confused, thinking that what I talk about

330
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:53,480
has to do with Foxconn, wherein that kind of an unusual situation because of that.

331
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,440
And I've had three friends of mine tell me their house hunting.

332
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,440
I've certainly received no calls of joy or excitement over the data center.

333
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Additionally, I've heard from some alders in emails, et cetera.

334
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:14,400
One mentioning something like starting to learn about, which baffles me because if a

335
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,520
vote to annex and rezone occurred way back when, how could a decision be made without

336
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,440
knowing, and they're now just starting to learn about it.

337
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:32,120
Another said and looking very relieved, may I say, that they'd reached a decision.

338
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,000
Not divulging it, but obviously it was a great relief.

339
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,280
Believe me, I get it.

340
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,080
How daunting this is, how full my brain spins.

341
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,000
How much time I spend on this.

342
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,480
I have no children.

343
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:53,640
I'm doing this for the mentees that I mentor through AmeriCorps seniors and those that

344
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,840
I have worked with through the years for the youth.

345
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Another shared, another alder shared the acreage size and that we've seen no plans.

346
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,480
Again, we've seen no plans.

347
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:16,160
That took me off guard for I just can't understand how a vote occurs to annex and rezone land

348
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,400
in such a dramatic new manner and way without seeing plans first.

349
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,040
But maybe under an NDA, only a few new.

350
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:33,000
And as alders, you two were unaware or as out of the loop as we.

351
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,160
If so, I now better understand your silence.

352
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:43,720
But facts still remain, 70% of Americans don't want data centers.

353
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,240
And there are thousands in Kenosha that know nothing.

354
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Which is why we ask for time to pause.

355
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,760
We are a community that wants our area to flourish and grow.

356
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280
We are friends, not enemies.

357
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,640
We're rooted in building better, but also smarter and more cooperatively.

358
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,080
Ma'am, you have 30 seconds.

359
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,480
This is also new and what is happening is different.

360
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:17,560
So I hope amoratorium, let's be cool about this.

361
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:23,200
And I'm just in my best B speak language, I leave with you, be kind with the footprints

362
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,760
you leave as the single decision mark and vote, be the legacy you leave as a council member.

363
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,560
Thank you.

364
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,680
Next speaker, Montana Peterson.

365
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:46,400
Hello, Montana Peterson, 7102 Pershing Boulevard.

366
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,480
I'm going to be talking about the data center and also the flat cameras that keep popping

367
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,680
up in the city.

368
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,720
Also I'm going to start big and small, I'll land the plane, I promise.

369
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,040
Roughly 71% of the world is covered in water, according to USGS.gov, that translates to

370
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,200
about 96.5% of all the earth's water is ocean.

371
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,560
National Geographic Society states that of the 3% of earth's water that is fresh, 1.2%

372
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:16,280
is accessible, of that 1.2% of accessible freshwater in the entire world, our Great Lakes

373
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:23,760
make up 84% of North America's surface freshwater and 21% of the globe's surface freshwater.

374
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,160
These data centers seek to poison that, these big corporations come into our small communities

375
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,800
and take advantage of us like we saw with Foxconn to steal from us, to poison the water,

376
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,560
to poison the land, to poison the air and poison our bodies.

377
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:41,480
Farm life has already shown negative reproductive consequences due to emissions from data centers.

378
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,000
I love being from a farm community for the opportunity to be self sustainable, especially

379
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:51,120
showing how dangerous and careless large corporations are and the government are with food protections.

380
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaking of protections, each year with the Canadian wildfires creating severe air quality

381
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,840
alerts, it is extremely foolish to believe that these poison emitting backyard data centers

382
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,800
are not going to have negative impacts on residents.

383
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,760
As someone who breathes air, drinks water, and eats food grown from this land, I take

384
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,040
deep issue with the passive violence from the rich and powerful that keeps getting excused

385
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,760
and keeps us sick.

386
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,760
I've heard some of y'all are sick and tired of hearing about the data center, while we

387
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,120
are tired of living with the repercussions of your actions.

388
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,040
I've noticed that many flat cameras popping up all over town.

389
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,160
I do not appreciate the flock that flock is able to freely survey and sell the data that

390
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,880
they collect on us because they have contracts at all levels of government.

391
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,680
I don't recall voting in favor of this, and as of July 7th from Deflock.org, there are

392
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:43,600
111,802 flock cameras in the United States, about 50 of which are in the city of Kenosha.

393
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,000
Crisis and surveillance and invasion of our privacy as private citizens is a direct violation

394
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,760
of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights.

395
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,480
Flack has been shown to not only misread vehicles and wrongly ticket individuals, the

396
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,200
cameras also track people, our faces, our walking patterns, which has been shown to

397
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:05,480
be extremely accurate and general descriptions, which has also been shown that people with

398
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,960
access has, I'm so sorry, which also has been shown that people with access have abused

399
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,880
that power to stalk others.

400
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,640
It is not lost on me that the one on Roosevelt is up the block from the Planned Parenthood

401
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,640
entrance.

402
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,560
Y'all want to be claimed, you want to claim to be pro-life yet continue to not value

403
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,000
the lives in your community by bringing harm and unsafety to us, please end the contract

404
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,360
with Flack.

405
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,400
Eight senators and 72 representatives have APAC as their all-time top contributor per

406
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,080
Open Secrets reports.

407
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,280
In Wisconsin, according to track APAC, eight of our representatives received money from

408
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,080
pro-Israel PACS, including Ron Johnson, Tammy Baldwin, Brian Steele, who has also taken

409
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,800
a lot of money from Microsoft to advance their agenda, Derek Van Orden, Scott Fitzgerald,

410
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Glenn Grothman, Tom Tiffany, and Tony Weed.

411
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,600
If you were nervous as I was reading names, good.

412
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,800
It is imperative that at all levels of government, we focus our concerns on the residents that

413
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,680
you represent, not foreign interests, not corporate interests, and not billionaire interests.

414
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,520
Midterms are coming, and anyone not making decisions with Kenosha residents, Wisconsin

415
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,360
residents, and residents of United States needs to be voted out.

416
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,760
The priority needs to be voted out, excuse me.

417
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,600
In a day and age where politicians sell out to the highest bidder, do not be a part of

418
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,960
the greedy few harming the good of many.

419
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,140
I strongly ask you to end the contract with Flack and support the moratorium of data

420
00:35:24,140 --> 00:35:28,400
centers to protect Kenoshaans and to protect the health of safety, health of the water,

421
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,240
the air, the land, the people, and the fragile ecosystems of the Great Lakes.

422
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:34,680
Be on the right side of history, and I yield my time.

423
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,440
Thank you.

424
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,520
Next speaker, Dan Lasky.

425
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,520
Hi.

426
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:49,560
I'm not against technology, either.

427
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,600
This helps me read out of the eye condition.

428
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:57,240
In fact, I have to use AI every day and my job is required.

429
00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:58,240
I see Kenosha's written a page.

430
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,240
Don't get your name in it.

431
00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,240
I'm sorry.

432
00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:01,240
Dan Laska.

433
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:03,840
I live right next to this site.

434
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,840
I share a property line with Microsoft.

435
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,680
I'll give you an idea of a close assist to me.

436
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:16,040
I see Kenosha where innovation fuels our economy, where neighborhoods are safe and thriving,

437
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,000
where every resident feels a sense of belonging.

438
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,200
I see a city that embraces sustainability, celebrates culture, ensures every voice is

439
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,200
heard.

440
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,400
This vision will take hard work, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our community,

441
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,840
and have no doubt that Kenosha is up for the tax pass.

442
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Together, we will build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Kenosha for everyone.

443
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,720
I don't even think this is a really good statement, something I want to hear from the

444
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:50,560
leader, but I fear that some of it rings hollow now as we fight to be heard, represented,

445
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,360
rather than ruled, which is kind of how we're feeling right now.

446
00:36:53,360 --> 00:37:00,080
I ask the common counsel for a one-year moratorium on the Microsoft hyperscale data center.

447
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:06,360
I request this pause for due diligence, not only in investigate reports and studies,

448
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,480
but personal accounts and experiences.

449
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,480
I encourage you to reach out to your counterparts in other municipalities and to get their first

450
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,920
hand point of view.

451
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:20,600
Pleasant Prairie, Port Washington, Beaver Dam, Milwaukee, California.

452
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,080
If they approved a data center, what has been in response and experience of the community?

453
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,880
If they refuse a data center, what has been in response?

454
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,080
This is valuable first-hand information, first-hand knowledge that should inform your

455
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,080
decision.

456
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,600
I ask you to visit.

457
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,280
Visit the site if you haven't.

458
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,000
The transformation of farmland will directly affect your constituents.

459
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,600
Use that first-hand knowledge of where and what is going to change.

460
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:56,760
See first-hand how the power poles and trees are forced by the wind to lean towards Kenosha.

461
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:02,120
The same wind will carry exhaust from both the power plant and the data center to Kenosha.

462
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,400
I ask that you consider the legacy.

463
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,440
We've been told that we need a petition.

464
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,720
The council responds to seeing commitments of a name on paper.

465
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:20,040
This made me think about commitment of a name, seeing what it means, seeing I believe so

466
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,200
strongly in this, I will lend my identity to it.

467
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,880
With that, I thought, let's take this in another direction.

468
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,920
Let's take this conversely.

469
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:33,440
What if the data center was called the David F. Bagdala Hypercenter by Microsoft or the

470
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,360
Kenosha Common Council Data Center by Microsoft?

471
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:42,760
I imagine it doesn't sit well with some of you, if not all of you.

472
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,400
If that's the case, you can't have your mark on your legacy.

473
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,320
You have to ask why.

474
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:56,720
How does it fit into the safer, stronger, more sustainable, and prosperous Kenosha?

475
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:00,160
In closing, this is from the Visit Kenosha link.

476
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Picture Lakefront Community with two lighthouses, sandy column miles of Lake Michigan Starling.

477
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:13,720
Picture streetcars passing through the vibrant downtown filled with museums, boutiques, shops,

478
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:15,520
restaurants, and public arc.

479
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,920
Picture yourself in the middle of a clause on and out there concert theater performance.

480
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:26,120
Picture iconic trails to bike, hike, and ski, as well as opportunities to fish, golfing,

481
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,280
and sailing.

482
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:33,240
Picture a destination that lies beyond the expected, right in the heart of the Midwest.

483
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,240
Picture your Kenosha.

484
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:44,760
Now imagine on I-90, exit 340 to Kenosha, Richard Bong recreational center, Mars cheese castle,

485
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:49,200
and the Hyper skill data center capital of Wisconsin.

486
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,880
Thank you.

487
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Next speaker, Jared Hunt.

488
00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:08,160
Hello, my name is Jared Hunt.

489
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,760
I wasn't sure what address to put down.

490
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,840
I'm in the middle of a move.

491
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:18,360
I'm moving to 5921 Sixth Avenue.

492
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:25,720
One of 10 speakers today have come to voice concerns about the Microsoft AI data center.

493
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,240
Everyone here has asked for a moratorium.

494
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:33,640
I know that they've received, that people have received varying degrees of pushback.

495
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:39,480
What I would like to say in addition to all of the environmental and economic concerns

496
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,800
with people, you know, how this is going to affect wildlife and property values and our

497
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,280
air quality.

498
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,800
One of the things that I like about living in the United States is that we do have a

499
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,960
representative government.

500
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,480
We get to choose our elected officials.

501
00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:00,560
And I believe that that's an honor if people elect you to this position.

502
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:08,840
Excuse me, I didn't, I didn't prepare a statement, but it's, you know, it's an honor to be chosen

503
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,440
to represent your people.

504
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:16,600
And I think it is a virtue if even if you hold reservations about what the people are asking

505
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:23,520
for work on their behalf, 90% of the people here have said that we either want a moratorium

506
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,600
on this AI data center or we don't want it at all.

507
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,760
Please take that into consideration.

508
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,760
Thank you.

509
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,640

I live at 25, 25 rooms as well, Rose.

570
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,720
And on my license, I just wanted to,

571
00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:26,040
I see it says yes, but do I get some full paper

572
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,960
or can I use this agenda?

573
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,720
I'm not, can you, I'm not sure what you're asking for right now.

574
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,400
I want to pick up your license.

Let's try that again.

620
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,800
I make a motion to concur with the recommendation of license

621
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,840
and permit to grant subject to a non-renewal revocation.

622
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:05,960
Okay, it's moving to second to concur.

623
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,400
It's time to open up to a hearing.

624
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,000

625
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,600
please come forward, state your name and address.

626
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,120
Good evening.

627
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,020
Debbie Malave and 250360 Street,

628
00:46:18,020 --> 00:46:19,320
Kenosha, Wisconsin.

629
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,280
I'm new at this, so I don't know how this really goes.

630
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,080
Am I able to speak upon my behalf to show?

631
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,760
Please, please do.

632
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,000
Okay, I've been a licensed carrier for several years now,

633
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:39,000
and it is actually my priority to continue to keep it.

634
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,720
Based upon the information that you guys have

635
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:43,160
off my background check,

636
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,520
it doesn't defy who I am, what I do,

637
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,300
and how I provide for my family.

638
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:53,600
My actions that have shown, I don't have any priors.

639
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,840
I don't have any cases, I haven't done anything.

640
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,000
I'm a good employee, I work hard,

641
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,360
I take care of my family, I'm a single mother,

642
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,320
to a widow of an alcoholism problem.

643
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,000
So, me to carry my license does not defy

644
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,960
who I am and what I do.

645
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,600
I ask upon you guys, are you everybody,

646
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,840
to please accept, I have several letters

647
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,000
or a couple of letters of recommendations from people,

648
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,760
as well as the owner of the store,

649
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,960
which is at Kenosha gas stop.

650
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,400
If this can help, I would like it to,

651
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,140
and please reconsider, my licensing.

652
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,400
Do I?

653
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,960
This is your opportunity to present your case.

654
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,360
Right now, the committee has made a recommendation

655
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,280
to grant subject to a non-renew revocation hearing.

656
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,280
That's the motion that is on the floor right now.

657
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,240
This is your opportunity to say whatever you have

658
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:59,440
to say on that, and if the council has any questions

659
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,080
for you, we would obviously call you back up,

660
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,480
after we finish the hearing.

661
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,560
Okay, I have my first letter,

662
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,480
which is from Kenosha gas stop.

663
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,600
Please accept this letter of verification of W. Malave.

664
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,800
I am the owner to the Kenosha gas stop located

665
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,880
at 2207 60th Avenue.

666
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,440
W is an employee here and is a very full time employee

667
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,640
and hard worker, and I would like to keep her as a role,

668
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,320
as the role that she plays at my store as manager.

669
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,760
She's a very good asset in my store.

670
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,720
Please consider renewing her liquor earbuds

671
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:31,700
at their license.

672
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,760
Sorry, I'm nervous about this.

673
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,440
My name is Amber Sork.

674
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,640
I am an HRS specialist at the employee,

675
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,240
in an employee and labor relations

676
00:48:45,240 --> 00:48:47,960
for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

677
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,200
I'm writing this letter on behalf of Ms. Debbie Malave,

678
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,440
which I have been known for the most past three years.

679
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,800
During this time, which I have found her

680
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,560
to be one of most responsible, honest caring

681
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,000
and hardworking people that I have ever met.

682
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,600
She is a single mother who works full time

683
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,880
and supports not only her biological daughter,

684
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,160
but also has care for other three children

685
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,760
that their mother has biologically passed,

686
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,520
or their mother had passed away.

687
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,360
She also is a caregiver to her grandmother

688
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,440
who has to mention other health issues.

689
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,760
I have witnessed Ms. Malave make her family

690
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,760
and well-being to the others of her top priority.

691
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,160
During the time that I have known her,

692
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,560
please allow Ms. Malave to renew her liquor license

693
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,880
so that she can keep her position

694
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,320
as a manager with her current employer.

695
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,640
Excuse me, this job is vital to her

696
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,440
and is being able to provide for those

697
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,960
who rely on her as well or herself.

698
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,200
I have the utmost confidence

699
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,560
and the ability to utilize her license responsibly.

700
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:56,760
Basically, all these letters show the same thing.

701
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,520
Please give me that chance.

702
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,640
Nothing defies what I did in my past year

703
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,920
is an honest mistake.

704
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,920
I'm not anybody just off the street

705
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,040
who intentionally just gets in trouble.

706
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:12,800
Thank you.

707
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,680
Thank you.

708
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,720
Anyone else on an MC4?

709
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:19,760
Anyone else?

710
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,760
Anyone else seeing none?

711
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:22,680
Close the hearing.

712
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,520
Gentlemen for the 10th.

713
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:27,360
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

714
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,560
Through the mayor to the applicant Ms. Malave.

715
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,120
You presented this information at the committee meeting?

716
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:38,960
No, I did not.

717
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,240
I wasn't able to.

718
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:43,480
I was not understanding on how this goes.

719
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,520
So you didn't attend the committee meeting?

720
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,720
I did attend it.

721
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:48,560
Okay.

722
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,880
Were you understanding that the motion is to grant

723
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,000
and at some later point you get to make a defense

724
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,720
of why you need to keep the license

725
00:50:56,720 --> 00:50:58,320
so you can continue to work?

726
00:50:59,240 --> 00:51:02,640
No, if this motion passes,

727
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,360
you can continue to work

728
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,640
and at some later point you will have to make a defense

729
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,760
and why you need to keep the license.

730
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:10,600
You understand?

731
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,440
No, I do.

732
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:13,760
Thank you.

733
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,040
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

734
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,640
Okay, motion on the floor is concurrence

735
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,880

I move to approve C-8.

805
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:43,120
Is that because of the denial, sir?

Motion is to separate.

831
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,120
If I could, Mr. D attorney, do we need to separate?

832
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

833
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,120
I make a motion to separate 10A from 10B, please.

834
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,120
Second.

Okay.

836
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,120
Motion is to separate.

837
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:21,120
If I could, Mr. D attorney, do we need to separate?

838
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:30,120
Or do we need, or the committee made a recommendation at that point, could they not make a motion to concur with that unless someone else is going to happen?

839
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,120
I just want, do we even, do we need to do that?

00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:39,120
The gentleman wants to do that, we can, but I just wanted to.

841
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,120
Oh, I'm sorry.

842
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,120
I did, did you microphone?

Go ahead, sir.

I wasn't at the committee meeting.

845
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:02,120
I'm presuming based upon the motion that the applications were separated and considered separately.

846
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:13,120
And after the initial vote on item A, there was a second vote on item B.

847
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:22,120
You could move to concur with the recommendations on A and B as your honor has indicated.

848
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,120
Or you could separate them and have separate votes.

849
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:26,120
Okay.

850
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:27,120
Again, it's up to you, Mr. Chairman.

851
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:28,120
I just want to make that.

852
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

853
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,120
I still make the motion to separate, please.

854
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,120
Okay.

855
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:39,120
Is there a second on separation?

856
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:40,120
Seconded.

857
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,120
Seconded to separate C10A and B. Any discussion?

858
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,120
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

859
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,120
Aye.

860
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,120
Any opposed?

861
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,120
Motion carries.

862
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,120
Mr. Chairman, on C10A.

863
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:57,120
C10A, Mr. Mayor, make a motion to concur with the recommendation of license and permit to grant.

864
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,120
Is there a second?

865
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:06,120
On your laptop, sir.

866
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:10,120
Is it to grant or to concur with license and permit?

867
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,120
Concurs, sir.

868
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,120
The motion on the floor is to concur on C10A.

869
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:17,120
I still need to have a hearing.

870
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,120
At this time, I open up to a hearing.

871
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,120
At this time, were anyone here to speak on C10A?

872
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:31,120
Please come forward, state your name and address.

873
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,120
Good evening, Parker Conover.

874
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,120
One east main, Madison, Wisconsin.

875
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,120
Council to Bon Appetit.

876
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,120
Good evening.

877
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,120
My name is Genevieve Mylin.

878
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,120
It's 6048 10th Street here in Kenosha.

879
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:49,120
I am the Bon Appetit General Manager on site at Carthage College.

880
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,120
Happy to take any questions.

881
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,120
We're taking over.

882
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,120
So Bon Appetit is taking over the Food and Beverage Service at Carthage College.

883
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:02,120
So this is not the same license, but effectively a transfer of the license from the old provider to us.

884
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:06,120
And again, we welcome any questions.

885
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,120
Thank you both.

886
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:11,120
If there are any, we'll maybe just hang tight there for a second.

887
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,120
At this time, I will close the hearing.

888
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,120
Older persons.

889
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,120
Right now, the motion on the floor is to concur on C10A, which is to grant.

890
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,120
Any discussion?

891
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,120
John, we're from the 16th.

892
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,120
Yes.

893
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:33,120
Teddy applicants, can you talk a little bit about your license and the students that go to Carthage?

894
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:38,120
How that's going to work with alcohol?

895
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:45,120
So the catering department at Carthage College does not do alcohol services to the students.

896
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:53,120
This would be for events, donation events, presidential events, maybe a wedding that we do on site.

897
00:59:53,120 --> 01:00:00,120
So this is more focused towards the catering department, not the students nor sporting events or concessions.

898
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:01,120
Thank you.

899
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,120
I just wanted to add a record.

900
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,120
I know you mentioned that the licensing and purpose committee.

901
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,120
Thank you.

902
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,120
You're welcome.

903
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,120
Thanks.

904
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,120
Okay.

905
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,120
Anyone else?

906
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:14,120
If not, motion on the floor is to concur with C10A, which is to grant.

907
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,120
All those may ever say aye.

908
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,120
Aye.

909
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,120
Any opposed?

910
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:18,120
Motion carries.

911
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:19,120
Aye.

912
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:20,120
Aye.

913
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,120
Aye.

914
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,120
Aye.

915
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,120
Aye.

916
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,120
Aye.

917
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:25,120
Aye.

918
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,120
Aye.

919
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,120
Aye.

920
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,120
Aye.

921
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:30,120
Any laptops?

922
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,120
Aye.

923
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,120
I thought I did.

924
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,120
Sorry about that.

925
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,840
moved and seconded to deny,

926
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,160
due to lack of license availability.

927
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,000
Yes, sir.

928
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,600
At this time, we'll open up to a hearing.

929
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,540
Anyone here speaking on item C10B,

930
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,000
please come forward, state your name and address.

931
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,040
Again, my name is Rosar Rodriguez

932
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,840
and my address 1721, 50th Street,

933
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:59,840
Kenosha, Wisconsin, I don't know if you have questions or...

934
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,280
If there are any questions, we'll finish the hearing

935
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,680
if there's anything you wanted to add,

936
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,760
if there are specific questions from Council,

937
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:08,760
we'll call you back up.

938
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,000
Okay, I'll close the hearing.

939
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,680
Motion on the floor is to deny based on

940
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:20,680
lack of license availability on B, any discussion?

941
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,440
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

942
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:24,280
Aye.

943
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:25,640
Any opposed?

944
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,120
Motion carries.

945
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,400
C11 findings of fact,

946
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,000
conclusions of law and recommendations

947
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,520
and proposed order in matter of the operator's license

948
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,440
of Nicholas P. Enzel-Dua.

949
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:39,280
Gentlemen, from the 10th.

950
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:40,120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

951
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,440
I make a motion to concur with the recommendation

952
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,000
of the license and permit

953
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,720
to suspend the license for 10 consecutive days

954
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,200
and reinstate the subject to 85 to mere points

955
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,040
or to accept the conclusions of law and recommendations.

956
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,520
Second.

957
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,000
So I'm moving it second to concur with license and permit.

958
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,880
At this time, I'll open up to a hearing.

959
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,800
Anyone here speaking on item C11,

960
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,520
please come forward, state your name and address.

961
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:03,400
Anyone here speak?

962
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:04,240
Anyone here speak?

963
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:05,160
Seeing none.

964
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,240
Close the hearing.

965
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:07,680
Motion on the floor is to concurrence.

966
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,080
Any discussion?

967
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,000
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

968
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:11,840
Aye.

969
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:12,880
Any opposed?

970
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,240
Motion carries.

971
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,600
Gee orness's second reading.

972
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,120
Gee one orness by the Mayor to repeal and recreate

973
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,480
chapter 5.119, recycling of the Code of General Ornesses

974
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:22,760
for the City of Kenoshell.

975
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:26,920
Lady from the 8th.

976
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,920
Yes.

977
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,920
Make a motion to approve item G1.

978
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:40,920
Is there a second?

979
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,920
On your laptop?

980
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,920
Uh.

981
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,920
Thank you.

982
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,920
Sorry about that.

983
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,920
It's been moving and seconded to approve.

984
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,920
At this time, open it up to a public hearing.

985
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,920
Anyone here speaking on item G1?

986
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:56,920
Anyone here speak?

987
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:57,920
Anyone here speak?

988
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:58,920
Seeing none.

989
01:02:58,920 --> 01:02:59,920
Close the public hearing.

990
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:01,920
Gentlemen from the third.

991
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:02,920
Thank you, Ron.

992
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,920
Just so that the public is clear on one of the changes,

993
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,920
I know a lot of times people have been told you can't recycle

994
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,920
your egg cartons, et cetera, that are poly foam,

995
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,920
polystyrene, et cetera, and as I read this ordinance change,

996
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,920
that is now going to be acceptable for recycling.

997
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,920
If I got that correct.

998
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,920
Mr. Cater.

999
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,920
Yes, that's correct, yes.

1000
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,920
Did you say yes?

1001
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,920
Yes, sir.

1002
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:48,920
Thank you.

1003
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,920
This is something that for many people will try to recycle in the

1004
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:54,920
city.

1005
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,920
I realize that the blue cans fill up a lot,

1006
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,920
but the egg cartons and the polystyrene and some packaging,

1007
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:02,920
it's got to go somewhere.

1008
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,920
And I think most people would prefer to go and recycling

1009
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,920
rather than into the present Hill landfill.

1010
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:09,920
Thank you.

1011
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,920
Thank you, sir.

1012
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:12,920
Anyone else?

1013
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:13,920
Seeing none.

1014
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,920
Motion on the floor is to approve.

1015
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,920
Item G1.

1016
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,920
All those in favor will vote aye.

1017
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:19,920
Those opposed?

1018
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:20,920
No.

1019
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:21,920
Roll call, please.

1020
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:27,920
Motion carries 15-0.

1021
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,920
G2, ordinance by the mayor to amend subsection 2.06 of the code of

1022
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,920
general ordinances for the city of Kenosha regarding payment by

1023
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,920
non-sufficient fund checks.

1024
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,920
General from the 13th.

1025
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,920
Thank you, your honor.

1026
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:47,920
I move to concur with the finance committee recommendations on G2.

1027
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:48,920
Second.

1028
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:57,920
It's been moving second to approve or concur on item G2.

1029
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,920
At this time, open up to a hearing.

1030
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:00,920
Public hearing.

1031
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,920

1032
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,920

General from 16th.

1038
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,920
Yeah, Mr. Mayor, can I have a little bit more information about this

1039
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:15,920
before I vote?

1040
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:16,920
One tenth.

1041
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:19,920
I can speak on that.

1042
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,920
So historically, we've never charged back the customer for

1043
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,920
submitting a check that did not clear the bank.

1044
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,920
So we've always absorbed those fees and now we're trying to be

1045
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,920
able to charge them for the fees that we incur.

1046
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:34,920
Okay.

1047
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:35,920

Good idea.

01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:41,920

Anyone else on item G2?

Moved to concur with the Finance Committee recommendations on L4, L5, and M1 after being read.

1165
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:25,040
L5, agreement for the purchase of a new Honeywell U.S. digital designs fire station,

1166
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,040
tone alerting system from Gen.com.

1167
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,040

1168

1171
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:45,040
Motion on the floor is concurrence on L4, L5, and M1.

1172
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:46,040
Gentlemen, from the 16th.

1173
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:51,040
Yeah, on L5, I hear from the fire chief.

1174
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,040
Executive, what this is about?

1175
01:11:54,040 --> 01:12:01,040
Chief.

1176
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,040
Can you repeat your question, Alderman?

1177
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:10,040
Yeah, what on L5, about the Honeywell?

1178
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:15,040
Yes, so this is the purchase agreement for a new tone alert system.

1179
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:19,040
It's a 2026 CIP item previously approved.

1180
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,040
This is a contract to buy that system.

1181
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,040
Replace all of the tone alerts and all the fire stations are outdated.

1182
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:30,040
This will be an updated modern system, and it will do several things.

1183
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,040
One, it should result in faster dispatch times.

1184
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,040
And the second thing, it's safer for the firefighters.

1185
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:41,040
It's a ramp-up tone versus the loud startling tones that we have right now.

1186
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,040
But it's a more advanced system to put in all of our stations.

1187
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:49,040
It's for the dispatch to get all of the fire station.

1188
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:55,040
So when you call 911, dispatch sends the tone to the appropriate station based on the call,

1189
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:59,040
and that's if they're tones that come over the air, that's what this system will do.

1190
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,040
Okay, very good.

1191
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,040
Thank you.

1192
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,040
This is also something Chief Craig.

1193
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:09,040
We work very closely with men and women of Kenosha fire, particularly on looking at their health

1194
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:14,040
and safety in terms of the very different types of tones that have been in the past.

1195
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:21,040
This is a much, much easier on them, particularly at two o'clock in the morning when they tend to get calls.

1196
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:22,040
Yes, sir.

1197
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:27,040
It's shown to have health benefits, and there's a heart rate spike that firefighters experience

1198
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:31,040
when the tones go off, and this system's help keep it down.

1199
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,040
Yep.

1200
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,040
Gentlemen, front of the fifth.

1201
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,040
Thank you, Mayor.

1202
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:40,040
Chief, there's also a two-color sequence on this explain that.

1203
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:46,040
So along with the audio tone alert, there's also visual lights in the station,

1204
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,040
depending on the rig that you're on.

1205
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,040
So if you're assigned to a med unit, the blue lights will flash.

1206
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:55,040
If you're assigned to a suppression rig, it will be red.

1207
01:13:55,040 --> 01:14:00,040
I hope you can tell by the color of the light, which units need to respond as well.

1208
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,040
Yep.

1209
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:03,040
Thank you, Chief.

1210
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,040

01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,040
