WEBVTT

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
You

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
You

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
You

03:00.000 --> 03:02.000
You

03:30.000 --> 03:32.000
You

03:32.000 --> 03:34.000
You

03:34.000 --> 03:36.000
Call to

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
The council meeting for

03:38.000 --> 03:40.000
Monday, July 20, 2026.

03:40.000 --> 03:42.000
Roll call please.

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000
Here.

03:44.000 --> 03:46.000
Here.

03:46.000 --> 03:48.000
Kids.

03:48.000 --> 03:52.000
Not all there.

03:52.000 --> 04:05.000
Okay, let the

04:05.000 --> 04:07.000
Rec reflect the quorum is

04:07.000 --> 04:08.000
Present.

04:08.000 --> 04:09.000
The lady from the sixth and the

04:09.000 --> 04:10.000
Gentleman from the 14th are

04:10.000 --> 04:11.000
Excused.

04:11.000 --> 04:12.000
I would ask her to please rise

04:12.000 --> 04:16.800
I would ask a one to please rise for a moment of silence, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

04:42.000 --> 05:03.280
Okay, please continue.

05:03.280 --> 05:07.840
We have ten speakers who signed up for citizen comments.

05:07.840 --> 05:11.240
When your name is called, please proceed to the podium, state your name and address

05:11.240 --> 05:12.240
for the record.

05:12.240 --> 05:18.720
The first speaker is Dorothy Nolan.

05:18.720 --> 05:19.720
Good evening.

05:19.720 --> 05:21.120
Can you hear me okay?

05:21.120 --> 05:22.120
Okay.

05:22.120 --> 05:23.120
My name is Dorothy Nolan.

05:23.120 --> 05:25.960
I live at 802.21 in Kenosha.

05:25.960 --> 05:30.480
My comments today are regarding the proposed AI data center.

05:30.480 --> 05:35.280
This past weekend I had plans for a biking event in Elgin, Illinois.

05:35.280 --> 05:40.440
When the wildfire smoke came pouring into Kenosha on Thursday, it was too late to cancel.

05:40.440 --> 05:45.720
I had to wear a mask and became congested when I rode my bike the next day.

05:45.720 --> 05:52.080
I found my oxygen saturation had decreased from 98 to 94%.

05:52.080 --> 05:55.160
I don't have asthma, but I felt like I did.

05:55.160 --> 05:59.760
I bring this up because we're being told to expect more and more of this.

05:59.760 --> 06:04.320
And what I experienced last week was the worst I've ever seen in my lifetime.

06:04.320 --> 06:09.120
What's even worse was that I learned that both the U.S. and Canada spray their forests

06:09.120 --> 06:15.400
with glyphosate, otherwise known as Roundup, to kill deciduous trees that compete with

06:15.400 --> 06:19.000
the more profitable softwood crops.

06:19.000 --> 06:23.680
Kenosha already has an F ozone rating from the American Lung Association, so I'm wondering

06:23.680 --> 06:29.840
how our air will be further degraded with more AI data centers and two gas fire power

06:29.840 --> 06:32.240
plants in the area.

06:32.240 --> 06:37.520
On top of all that, one of the headlines from the weekend was about the EPA proposing

06:37.520 --> 06:42.440
to eliminate the requirement for public comment on air permits for data centers in other

06:42.440 --> 06:44.400
facilities.

06:44.400 --> 06:49.800
This AI push is all about big businesses and politicians that only see dollar signs.

06:49.800 --> 06:55.200
A is not something we absolutely have to have, but air certainly is.

06:55.200 --> 06:58.360
A lot of people will say, why don't you just move?

06:58.360 --> 07:04.120
My question is, where can you move where there's not an AI data center being considered?

07:04.120 --> 07:08.520
Even if there was such a magical place, there's only a small percentage of people that can

07:08.520 --> 07:14.840
either have the resources or ability to move away for a variety of reasons.

07:14.840 --> 07:19.960
When 70% of Americans agree they do not want AI data centers in their city and the American

07:19.960 --> 07:26.200
Lung Association says our air quality is already graded at an F, I would think this council

07:26.200 --> 07:30.320
would think long and hard about whether this is the best thing for Kenosha.

07:30.320 --> 07:34.920
We are going backwards in this country with respect to energy pollution.

07:34.920 --> 07:39.960
The earth and all living things on it can only handle so much, and most of us are getting

07:39.960 --> 07:45.880
the message loud and clear, thanks.

07:45.880 --> 07:49.320
Speaker Sheryl Swatko?

07:49.320 --> 07:55.800
Hi, I'm Sheryl Swatko, 39, 15, 48th Avenue.

07:55.800 --> 07:59.400
I actually have two, one is short and one a little longer.

07:59.400 --> 08:04.720
I'm concerned about the stoplights that are on Washington Road and 47th Avenue.

08:04.720 --> 08:08.760
Every day drivers make decisions that affect not only their lives, but the lives of everyone

08:08.760 --> 08:09.960
around them.

08:09.960 --> 08:14.680
The traffic lights on Washington Road and 47th Avenue have too many cars, trucks and

08:14.680 --> 08:17.400
some eyes choosing to run a lead to red light.

08:17.400 --> 08:21.440
Even tonight on our way to here to the meeting, we have a thing in our car, we say green light,

08:21.440 --> 08:24.920
and sure enough someone ran the light again on the red side.

08:24.920 --> 08:29.160
No appointment to deliver your destination is worth risking a life.

08:29.160 --> 08:33.080
Taking a moment to actually stop at the red light could mean the difference between arriving

08:33.080 --> 08:35.720
safely and causing a tragedy.

08:35.720 --> 08:39.840
Could the answer be decreasing the speed limit on Washington Avenue?

08:39.840 --> 08:44.800
Red light cameras have permitted more police presence, improved signal timing as that

08:44.800 --> 08:49.240
yellow light is very short, speed feedback signs.

08:49.240 --> 08:53.600
As I said before, someone may lose their life because of poor decisions made on Washington

08:53.600 --> 08:55.720
Road and 47th Avenue.

08:55.720 --> 08:57.080
There are so many accidents.

08:57.080 --> 08:58.080
We hear them all the time.

08:58.080 --> 09:02.640
Here at the crash boom, bam, we go, someone ran a light.

09:02.640 --> 09:06.160
The other thing, good evening mayor, common consul and city staff members.

09:06.160 --> 09:11.840
I'm here tonight to voice my opposition to building an AI data center in Kenosha.

09:11.840 --> 09:14.560
Our town is more than a place on a map.

09:14.560 --> 09:15.760
It is our home.

09:15.760 --> 09:19.800
A large AI data center could fundamentally change our city.

09:19.800 --> 09:25.240
These data centers raise questions about electricity usage, water consumption, continuous noise,

09:25.240 --> 09:28.360
increased traffic and environmental impacts.

09:28.360 --> 09:32.240
These are reasonable questions and not obstacles to progress.

09:32.240 --> 09:33.920
We need to ask questions.

09:33.920 --> 09:34.920
Who truly benefits?

09:34.920 --> 09:39.800
Do the rewards go to the outside investors or large corporations while local residents

09:39.800 --> 09:43.000
bear most of the long-earned impacts?

09:43.000 --> 09:48.680
Then we should consider perhaps a moratorium until all questions can be addressed.

09:48.680 --> 09:52.840
Progress should never come at the expense of the people who call Kenosha home.

09:52.840 --> 09:57.800
We have the right to protect our community, to expect transparency and to insist that

09:57.800 --> 10:01.480
any major development truly serves the public interest.

10:01.480 --> 10:06.400
I encourage you to put our community first, listen to our concerns and place a year-long

10:06.400 --> 10:12.840
moratorium on any approval for an AI data center until the public has clear, complete

10:12.840 --> 10:17.680
and verifiable answers to the many questions surrounding this project.

10:17.680 --> 10:19.280
Thank you.

10:19.280 --> 10:26.080
Next speaker, Marita Huff.

10:26.080 --> 10:32.560
Marita Huff, 793934th Avenue.

10:32.560 --> 10:38.520
Just to follow up on what these people were saying about the data center, the energy plants

10:38.520 --> 10:41.920
are run by natural gas that they want to build.

10:41.920 --> 10:46.720
Natural gas, methane, is the worst greenhouse gas.

10:46.720 --> 10:51.840
It doesn't have the particulates of coal, but as far as a greenhouse gas, it is the

10:51.840 --> 10:52.840
worst.

10:52.840 --> 10:58.160
And we're going to build two of those fact-generating stations here.

10:58.160 --> 11:04.760
It's always escaping from its pipes and its burning process, so you don't want to be

11:04.760 --> 11:06.560
doing that.

11:06.560 --> 11:12.480
I'll put back on my homeless person, facade, because you know that that's what I come

11:12.480 --> 11:13.480
to talk to you about.

11:13.480 --> 11:16.480
And you probably wonder, why does she come and talk to us about that?

11:16.480 --> 11:18.200
How does she expect us to do?

11:18.200 --> 11:21.680
Well, tonight I want to clarify a couple of things.

11:21.680 --> 11:26.320
I have probably mentioned supporters of shelter in the past, and you didn't know what I was

11:26.320 --> 11:27.320
talking about.

11:27.320 --> 11:33.600
I call it a loose coalition of supporters of homeless people.

11:33.600 --> 11:41.440
And it includes the leadership of the Shalom Center, KHDS, the Welcome Center, ELC outreach,

11:41.440 --> 11:48.400
Salvation Army, and other St. Vincent de Paul.

11:48.400 --> 11:56.440
These people come to our meetings, they know what we're discussing, and so we also have

11:56.440 --> 12:02.320
individuals, and those individuals have been the backbone of the volunteers that helped

12:02.320 --> 12:10.680
the Welcome Center to be open over night, starting in December of last year.

12:10.680 --> 12:15.880
They were the folks that were there before staff was hired to help, welcome the Hope

12:15.880 --> 12:18.680
Hub at Shalom Center be open.

12:18.680 --> 12:23.840
And it continues to be open now every night from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m.

12:23.840 --> 12:33.840
Which is a big help to 20 people, and so Shalom, the supporters of shelter also help

12:33.840 --> 12:39.880
to convince the Shalom Center, they always thought that you needed a 24-hour shelter

12:39.880 --> 12:42.240
that overnight shelter wasn't good enough.

12:42.240 --> 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

12:49.560 --> 12:53.360
because there's other places people can be during the day.

12:53.360 --> 13:00.440
So we are going to be having our second point-in-time count for 2026 this Wednesday.

13:00.440 --> 13:05.120
It starts at 11 p.m. and goes to 3 a.m.

13:05.120 --> 13:12.800
And they've been doing this since 2011, and for a decade they found more or less 20 people

13:12.800 --> 13:13.800
outside.

13:13.800 --> 13:21.680
In 2024, the number increased, and in July 2025, 57 people were found outside.

13:21.680 --> 13:23.920
So I wonder how many we will find.

13:23.920 --> 13:31.160
I made a list, and I have the names of 50 people that I know personally from feeding

13:31.160 --> 13:36.440
them at my church that are living outside on the ground or in their vehicle.

13:36.440 --> 13:39.120
So I wonder how many of those will find.

13:39.120 --> 13:42.040
Those people are every description you could imagine.

13:42.040 --> 13:45.760
Some are mentally ill, some use drugs, but a lot of them don't.

13:45.760 --> 13:51.880
They're men, women, every age from 16 to 75.

13:51.880 --> 13:55.880
One's a diabetic on insulin, which is really tricky to try and figure out how much insulin

13:55.880 --> 13:59.960
to take when you don't know if you're going to get food that day.

13:59.960 --> 14:05.480
One is a young man who seems intelligent when you first talked to him, but has bad judgment

14:05.480 --> 14:10.320
and ended up in the lake and almost drowned trying to cool off on Thursday when it was

14:10.320 --> 14:13.080
so hot.

14:13.080 --> 14:21.720
So I just want to say that we need warming and cooling centers in Kenosha.

14:21.720 --> 14:28.480
We have nothing on holidays, nothing overnight except for those 20 people that are at the

14:28.520 --> 14:36.240
Hope Hub, and very little on weekends for a warming cooling center, a little bit, a few

14:36.240 --> 14:41.440
hours at the museum and the two of the libraries.

14:41.440 --> 14:44.880
So the supporters of shelter have a plan.

14:44.880 --> 14:48.360
We borrowed it from Washington County, Oregon.

14:48.360 --> 14:50.800
It's been used there for several years.

14:50.800 --> 14:54.520
We're trying to craft it into something that would work here.

14:54.520 --> 15:00.000
We would like to get a roundtable of people that know about these members of supporters

15:00.000 --> 15:05.400
of shelter and perhaps the mayor and other people that he would like to be there and

15:05.400 --> 15:11.460
plug in what we need in Kenosha County to make this work because we need to have this

15:11.460 --> 15:15.480
ready to go by the 1st of October, ideally.

15:15.480 --> 15:17.680
And you have 30 seconds.

15:17.680 --> 15:24.800
So what we need from you is listen to your constituents if they call and want to tell

15:24.800 --> 15:32.240
you about their concern for the homeless and try to just let us do what needs to be done

15:32.240 --> 15:38.240
for these people that are getting frostbite and losing limbs and are miserable outside.

15:38.240 --> 15:42.400
So thank you.

15:42.400 --> 15:47.040
Next speaker, Arlene Bennett.

15:47.040 --> 15:51.400
Good evening.

15:51.400 --> 15:53.480
My name is Dr. Ariane Bennett.

15:53.480 --> 15:57.920
I live at 3110 169th Avenue.

15:57.920 --> 16:03.720
I'm here to ask the mayor and the city council for a moratorium to pause the construction

16:03.720 --> 16:11.320
or planning of the data center in Kenosha until a greater study and a more in-depth approach

16:11.320 --> 16:16.320
to find out what the possible negative impacts to the residents of Kenosha are.

16:16.320 --> 16:23.280
These include financial impacts, health impacts, environmental impacts, rising energy costs,

16:23.280 --> 16:28.120
declining property values, and a declining quality of living.

16:28.120 --> 16:34.240
I want to say that some of my other peers here will be talking about the health impacts,

16:34.240 --> 16:37.800
but I want to talk about the technology aspect of it.

16:37.800 --> 16:41.360
I've been working in the field of higher education and mental health for the last

16:41.360 --> 16:45.960
three decades, and I want to say that I use technology every day.

16:45.960 --> 16:48.960
I am not anti-technology.

16:48.960 --> 16:54.680
In fact, it was technology that allowed me in 2020 during the COVID lockdown to move

16:54.680 --> 17:00.400
here as a single parent with my kids for a greater quality of life.

17:00.400 --> 17:06.880
But I want everyone to understand that the trajectory of technology is one in which things

17:06.880 --> 17:12.360
get faster, smaller, and more efficient over time.

17:12.360 --> 17:18.000
I started my undergraduate degree in 1981, and at that time, a computer was the size

17:18.000 --> 17:21.280
of this room and cost millions of dollars.

17:21.280 --> 17:26.880
In three and a half years before I graduated, computers sat on people's desks, and it was

17:26.880 --> 17:28.920
the beginning of the PC.

17:28.920 --> 17:33.240
And now we all have not only computers in our home, but I'm wearing a computer the size

17:33.280 --> 17:38.600
of a watch, that when I was a little girl, you might see on the Jetsons.

17:38.600 --> 17:44.280
So what we need is to understand that we're making permanent environmental and health

17:44.280 --> 17:50.960
decisions and financial decisions for a technology that is changing so quickly that the hyperscale

17:50.960 --> 17:56.520
data centers may not be needed within just a few short years.

17:56.520 --> 18:01.880
History repeats itself, and human beings are tend to make mistakes over and over again.

18:01.920 --> 18:06.280
And I want to remind everybody about the .com bubble, which I also lived through in the

18:06.280 --> 18:09.280
90s and the early 2000s.

18:09.280 --> 18:14.720
Little closer to home, remind everybody about the Foxham debacle.

18:14.720 --> 18:20.080
So companies right now are spending hundreds and billions of dollars in AI construction,

18:20.080 --> 18:26.000
and in fact, I asked AI, generative AI today, about what the comparison is between the

18:26.000 --> 18:29.400
.com bubble and the AI bubble.

18:29.400 --> 18:37.800
And it was really interesting because AI responded, I quote, there is a risk of near-term over-building.

18:37.800 --> 18:42.520
And many enterprise companies have yet to see an investment on their return, a return

18:42.520 --> 18:44.280
on their investment.

18:44.280 --> 18:47.320
So that came from chat GBT.

18:47.320 --> 18:51.600
So I encourage you to think about you're making permanent decisions for the residents

18:51.600 --> 18:57.280
of Kenosha for a technology that may not be needed within a few short years.

18:57.280 --> 19:02.520
So I'm asking again for a moratorium to pause and halt the construction or planning of

19:02.520 --> 19:06.320
the AI data center until there can be greater study carried out.

19:06.320 --> 19:08.320
Thank you.

19:08.320 --> 19:15.320
Next speaker, Colton Roberts.

19:15.320 --> 19:28.240
My name is Colton Roberts, I live at 4710, 18th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin.

19:28.240 --> 19:32.480
I'm here to further talk about the data center, but to also correct myself.

19:32.480 --> 19:34.840
Last time I was here, I talked about the flock cameras.

19:34.840 --> 19:39.080
I give a quote to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin actually said that.

19:39.080 --> 19:40.080
I apologize.

19:40.080 --> 19:44.120
Second, it was not the VP of sales that was, that were using the cameras for nefarious

19:44.120 --> 19:46.640
purposes, but the VP of the company.

19:46.640 --> 19:50.120
The reason I correct myself is because I'm not here to spread my information.

19:50.120 --> 19:53.160
I just want to talk about real issues, real impacts.

19:53.160 --> 19:56.320
And if I'm wrong, I apologize, I will correct myself.

19:56.320 --> 20:02.520
Again, to further along the data center, not good, just making that clear.

20:02.520 --> 20:06.040
But I would also like to talk about some zoning policies.

20:06.040 --> 20:11.320
The city of Kenosha has made clear through the harbor district plan and the, I haven't

20:11.320 --> 20:16.320
heard much about it, but the plan to move the dump to create a more larger economical

20:16.320 --> 20:17.320
area.

20:17.320 --> 20:22.120
These big grandiose projects, like the data center along with it, what are their impacts?

20:22.120 --> 20:25.160
You have these big grandiose, oops, didn't know this was on wheels.

20:25.160 --> 20:28.160
You have this big grandiose problem.

20:28.160 --> 20:32.360
Little, sorry, I'm nervous.

20:32.360 --> 20:38.480
Instead of having these big grandiose buildings, we should have small cumulative impacts.

20:38.480 --> 20:49.680
Let small businesses and mediums density buildings come over and grow over time.

20:49.680 --> 20:55.720
If I know per square acre, small businesses in medium density buildings like we have downtown

20:55.720 --> 21:01.480
are far more valuable to the city through tax base and jobs than, you know, Walmart is,

21:01.480 --> 21:05.960
even though Walmart may provide more money short term to the city.

21:05.960 --> 21:15.640
So all I ask is that we look at new ways to make wealth and further, further developments

21:15.640 --> 21:19.640
of little increments as opposed to a large grandiose plants.

21:19.640 --> 21:20.640
Thank you.

21:20.640 --> 21:27.360
Next speaker, Greg Kischlin.

21:28.360 --> 21:38.120
Good evening, my name is Greg Kischlin, I live in 8638, 32nd Avenue.

21:38.120 --> 21:45.120
I would like to remind everybody that there's a free pantry for anybody who needs food

21:45.120 --> 21:49.560
outside the entrance to the Southwest Library.

21:49.560 --> 21:50.960
It gets emptied quickly.

21:50.960 --> 21:54.760
I'll just say that.

21:54.760 --> 21:56.440
I'm not here to support the president.

21:56.440 --> 21:59.200
I speak against him.

21:59.200 --> 22:01.740
No man is born better than any other.

22:01.740 --> 22:05.240
Our president does not believe that.

22:05.240 --> 22:08.440
Every person has a right to life liberty in the pursuit of happiness.

22:08.440 --> 22:13.520
That's equality in declaring their independence 250 years ago.

22:13.520 --> 22:22.520
The founders chose equality as a building block of both the declaration and the constitution.

22:22.520 --> 22:26.120
The constitution was intended to secure freedom for all individuals.

22:26.120 --> 22:31.880
The constitution was written to prevent government abuse of individual rights.

22:31.880 --> 22:36.200
It also limits the authority of elected officials to govern.

22:36.200 --> 22:41.440
A ruling noble class is poisoned to democratic government.

22:41.440 --> 22:43.480
Autocracy is poisoned.

22:43.480 --> 22:48.880
Racial superiority is poisoned, and so is the rule of unlimited money.

22:48.880 --> 22:54.920
If all men are created equal, then kings in racial supremacy and dictators cannot coexist

22:54.920 --> 23:00.080
alongside the principle of equality for all human beings.

23:00.080 --> 23:02.080
Those propositions are incompatible.

23:02.080 --> 23:10.080
They cannot be reconciled, which leads us to a non-judicial warrants being used to

23:10.080 --> 23:14.480
seize brown people and accented people.

23:14.480 --> 23:20.480
Concentrating those people in camps raises the question why, for what purpose?

23:20.480 --> 23:24.480
A new term, detention centers, has appeared.

23:24.480 --> 23:28.680
We'll have 34 separate facilities by this year's end.

23:28.680 --> 23:37.360
16 of those facilities are designated for processing or long-term detention.

23:37.360 --> 23:40.200
This is the government's phrase, not mine.

23:40.200 --> 23:49.360
State-large-scale facilities will each have a capacity of 7 to 10,000 people inside refurbished warehouses.

23:49.360 --> 23:54.120
That population is at least 60,000 people.

23:54.120 --> 23:58.960
Detention centers are the last step before elimination of these detainees from the U.S.

23:58.960 --> 24:03.520
landscape without leaving evidence left behind.

24:03.520 --> 24:05.600
Does this sound at all familiar?

24:05.600 --> 24:07.360
It should.

24:07.360 --> 24:14.480
The words and actions of the current administration shout white supremacy, such as ending birthright

24:14.480 --> 24:22.480
citizenship for immigrants opposing minorities' access to the ballot, minority voter removal

24:22.480 --> 24:26.080
and suppression among other actions.

24:26.080 --> 24:32.200
Directly from Project 2025, our president's stated goal is to increase and concentrate

24:32.200 --> 24:39.400
executive power by blaming the less than equal groups for the social and economic issues

24:39.400 --> 24:41.720
facing the United States.

24:41.720 --> 24:49.040
His actions include, deporting millions of illegal immigrants who are not equal, demanding

24:49.040 --> 24:55.880
the end of birthright citizenship, suppressing black dissent and erasing black history by

24:55.880 --> 25:01.680
decree, remapping of black voter districts for political advantage.

25:01.680 --> 25:08.040
Allegations of stolen elections in non-white districts without proof, allegations of voting

25:08.040 --> 25:14.680
by illegal non-whites, again, unprovable, characterizing illegal immigrants as criminals

25:14.680 --> 25:24.240
mentally deranged or rapists, threatening intimidation of non-white voters during future elections.

25:24.240 --> 25:27.760
That came from Steve Bannon.

25:27.760 --> 25:33.760
When he speaks of repatriating people back to shithole countries, that is an uncensored

25:33.760 --> 25:37.200
white nationalist speaking.

25:37.200 --> 25:42.800
Democracy demands equality when our national elected officials openly embrace the notion

25:42.800 --> 25:49.520
that one person, meaning himself, or one group is better or worse than the rest of us by

25:49.520 --> 25:55.760
birthright than those principles handed down by the founders become a call to action.

25:55.760 --> 26:00.680
All men are created equal, means that no one in the United States is born with extra

26:00.680 --> 26:02.840
rights or fewer rights.

26:02.840 --> 26:05.080
Sir, you have 30 seconds.

26:05.080 --> 26:10.880
The United States is by design a diverse republic of equal access and equal opportunity.

26:10.880 --> 26:13.480
They are unalienable rights.

26:13.480 --> 26:15.440
I oppose the president.

26:15.440 --> 26:23.840
We are not a stratified nation of white nationalists, despite his beliefs and his actions.

26:23.840 --> 26:35.840
Next speaker, Jerry Moore.

26:35.840 --> 26:36.840
Good evening.

26:36.840 --> 26:43.120
I'm Jerry Moore, 10, 9, 18, 69th Street, 17th District, and I'm here to talk about the

26:43.120 --> 26:44.800
data center issue.

26:44.800 --> 26:48.520
First, I wanted to say I was going to talk about the bees again.

26:48.520 --> 26:53.200
I was going to talk about the rusty patch bumblebee, which is on the endangered species

26:53.200 --> 27:00.080
list, which is by UW Parkside, and what I talked about two weeks ago, I talked about

27:00.080 --> 27:07.040
the electronic vibration waves and how it affects their habitats.

27:07.040 --> 27:11.720
Until yesterday, my husband brought me an article that talked about how our president

27:11.720 --> 27:19.240
had completely changed the meaning of the word harm in the endangered species act.

27:19.240 --> 27:24.760
So as a result, I'm not here on behalf of the rusty patch bumblebee, but it's still

27:24.760 --> 27:27.600
near and dear to me.

27:27.600 --> 27:37.160
First I'd like to thank, for the recently posted frequently asked questions, a data center

27:37.160 --> 27:39.160
link on the city website.

27:39.160 --> 27:41.880
I'd like to thank that for being done.

27:41.880 --> 27:42.880
Good information.

27:42.880 --> 27:48.880
I'd like to thank Alderman Kennedy, who passed this information along to me, and I suggest

27:48.880 --> 27:53.840
that maybe other alders do the same to their constituents.

27:53.840 --> 27:59.440
I also appreciated seeing an answer to my question about the environmental study.

27:59.440 --> 28:00.640
Thank you.

28:00.640 --> 28:08.000
I do hope this is also bilingual at some point, and at least it goes out in some manner through

28:08.000 --> 28:16.080
a mailing, possibly inserted with water bills, taxes, meals on wheels, trays, library emails

28:16.080 --> 28:22.120
or something like that in a flyer type of thing in a bright color so that it stands

28:22.120 --> 28:26.400
out from the white paper.

28:26.400 --> 28:35.000
Since the July 6 meeting, I've had some input from friends who have called me asking questions.

28:35.000 --> 28:38.200
Some have met with the mayor, thank you, Dave.

28:38.200 --> 28:40.920
Others are calling alder people.

28:40.920 --> 28:46.880
Yet so many are still unaware, puzzled and confused, thinking that what I talk about

28:46.880 --> 28:53.480
has to do with Foxconn, wherein that kind of an unusual situation because of that.

28:53.480 --> 28:57.440
And I've had three friends of mine tell me their house hunting.

28:57.440 --> 29:02.440
I've certainly received no calls of joy or excitement over the data center.

29:02.800 --> 29:07.880
Additionally, I've heard from some alders in emails, et cetera.

29:07.880 --> 29:14.400
One mentioning something like starting to learn about, which baffles me because if a

29:14.400 --> 29:20.520
vote to annex and rezone occurred way back when, how could a decision be made without

29:20.520 --> 29:25.440
knowing, and they're now just starting to learn about it.

29:25.440 --> 29:32.120
Another said and looking very relieved, may I say, that they'd reached a decision.

29:32.120 --> 29:37.000
Not divulging it, but obviously it was a great relief.

29:37.000 --> 29:39.280
Believe me, I get it.

29:39.280 --> 29:44.080
How daunting this is, how full my brain spins.

29:44.080 --> 29:46.000
How much time I spend on this.

29:46.000 --> 29:47.480
I have no children.

29:47.480 --> 29:53.640
I'm doing this for the mentees that I mentor through AmeriCorps seniors and those that

29:53.640 --> 29:57.840
I have worked with through the years for the youth.

29:57.840 --> 30:05.280
Another shared, another alder shared the acreage size and that we've seen no plans.

30:05.280 --> 30:08.480
Again, we've seen no plans.

30:08.480 --> 30:16.160
That took me off guard for I just can't understand how a vote occurs to annex and rezone land

30:16.160 --> 30:22.400
in such a dramatic new manner and way without seeing plans first.

30:22.400 --> 30:26.040
But maybe under an NDA, only a few new.

30:26.040 --> 30:33.000
And as alders, you two were unaware or as out of the loop as we.

30:33.000 --> 30:37.160
If so, I now better understand your silence.

30:37.160 --> 30:43.720
But facts still remain, 70% of Americans don't want data centers.

30:43.720 --> 30:48.240
And there are thousands in Kenosha that know nothing.

30:48.240 --> 30:52.200
Which is why we ask for time to pause.

30:52.200 --> 30:57.760
We are a community that wants our area to flourish and grow.

30:57.760 --> 31:00.280
We are friends, not enemies.

31:00.280 --> 31:05.640
We're rooted in building better, but also smarter and more cooperatively.

31:05.640 --> 31:07.080
Ma'am, you have 30 seconds.

31:07.080 --> 31:11.480
This is also new and what is happening is different.

31:11.480 --> 31:17.560
So I hope amoratorium, let's be cool about this.

31:17.560 --> 31:23.200
And I'm just in my best B speak language, I leave with you, be kind with the footprints

31:23.200 --> 31:29.760
you leave as the single decision mark and vote, be the legacy you leave as a council member.

31:29.760 --> 31:32.560
Thank you.

31:32.560 --> 31:36.680
Next speaker, Montana Peterson.

31:36.680 --> 31:46.400
Hello, Montana Peterson, 7102 Pershing Boulevard.

31:46.400 --> 31:49.480
I'm going to be talking about the data center and also the flat cameras that keep popping

31:49.480 --> 31:51.680
up in the city.

31:51.680 --> 31:56.720
Also I'm going to start big and small, I'll land the plane, I promise.

31:56.720 --> 32:01.040
Roughly 71% of the world is covered in water, according to USGS.gov, that translates to

32:01.040 --> 32:05.200
about 96.5% of all the earth's water is ocean.

32:05.200 --> 32:10.560
National Geographic Society states that of the 3% of earth's water that is fresh, 1.2%

32:10.560 --> 32:16.280
is accessible, of that 1.2% of accessible freshwater in the entire world, our Great Lakes

32:16.320 --> 32:23.760
make up 84% of North America's surface freshwater and 21% of the globe's surface freshwater.

32:23.760 --> 32:28.160
These data centers seek to poison that, these big corporations come into our small communities

32:28.160 --> 32:32.800
and take advantage of us like we saw with Foxconn to steal from us, to poison the water,

32:32.800 --> 32:36.560
to poison the land, to poison the air and poison our bodies.

32:36.560 --> 32:41.480
Farm life has already shown negative reproductive consequences due to emissions from data centers.

32:41.480 --> 32:45.000
I love being from a farm community for the opportunity to be self sustainable, especially

32:45.040 --> 32:51.120
showing how dangerous and careless large corporations are and the government are with food protections.

32:51.120 --> 32:55.560
Speaking of protections, each year with the Canadian wildfires creating severe air quality

32:55.560 --> 33:00.840
alerts, it is extremely foolish to believe that these poison emitting backyard data centers

33:00.840 --> 33:03.800
are not going to have negative impacts on residents.

33:03.800 --> 33:07.760
As someone who breathes air, drinks water, and eats food grown from this land, I take

33:07.760 --> 33:12.040
deep issue with the passive violence from the rich and powerful that keeps getting excused

33:12.040 --> 33:13.760
and keeps us sick.

33:13.760 --> 33:16.760
I've heard some of y'all are sick and tired of hearing about the data center, while we

33:16.760 --> 33:21.120
are tired of living with the repercussions of your actions.

33:21.120 --> 33:24.040
I've noticed that many flat cameras popping up all over town.

33:24.040 --> 33:28.160
I do not appreciate the flock that flock is able to freely survey and sell the data that

33:28.160 --> 33:31.880
they collect on us because they have contracts at all levels of government.

33:31.880 --> 33:36.680
I don't recall voting in favor of this, and as of July 7th from Deflock.org, there are

33:36.680 --> 33:43.600
111,802 flock cameras in the United States, about 50 of which are in the city of Kenosha.

33:43.600 --> 33:48.000
Crisis and surveillance and invasion of our privacy as private citizens is a direct violation

33:48.000 --> 33:50.760
of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights.

33:50.760 --> 33:54.480
Flack has been shown to not only misread vehicles and wrongly ticket individuals, the

33:54.480 --> 33:59.200
cameras also track people, our faces, our walking patterns, which has been shown to

33:59.200 --> 34:05.480
be extremely accurate and general descriptions, which has also been shown that people with

34:05.480 --> 34:11.960
access has, I'm so sorry, which also has been shown that people with access have abused

34:11.960 --> 34:13.880
that power to stalk others.

34:13.880 --> 34:17.640
It is not lost on me that the one on Roosevelt is up the block from the Planned Parenthood

34:17.640 --> 34:18.640
entrance.

34:18.640 --> 34:22.560
Y'all want to be claimed, you want to claim to be pro-life yet continue to not value

34:22.560 --> 34:27.000
the lives in your community by bringing harm and unsafety to us, please end the contract

34:27.000 --> 34:29.360
with Flack.

34:29.360 --> 34:33.400
Eight senators and 72 representatives have APAC as their all-time top contributor per

34:33.400 --> 34:35.080
Open Secrets reports.

34:35.080 --> 34:39.280
In Wisconsin, according to track APAC, eight of our representatives received money from

34:39.280 --> 34:44.080
pro-Israel PACS, including Ron Johnson, Tammy Baldwin, Brian Steele, who has also taken

34:44.080 --> 34:47.800
a lot of money from Microsoft to advance their agenda, Derek Van Orden, Scott Fitzgerald,

34:47.800 --> 34:50.160
Glenn Grothman, Tom Tiffany, and Tony Weed.

34:50.160 --> 34:52.600
If you were nervous as I was reading names, good.

34:52.600 --> 34:56.800
It is imperative that at all levels of government, we focus our concerns on the residents that

34:56.800 --> 35:01.680
you represent, not foreign interests, not corporate interests, and not billionaire interests.

35:01.680 --> 35:05.520
Midterms are coming, and anyone not making decisions with Kenosha residents, Wisconsin

35:05.520 --> 35:10.360
residents, and residents of United States needs to be voted out.

35:10.360 --> 35:13.760
The priority needs to be voted out, excuse me.

35:13.760 --> 35:17.600
In a day and age where politicians sell out to the highest bidder, do not be a part of

35:17.600 --> 35:19.960
the greedy few harming the good of many.

35:19.960 --> 35:24.140
I strongly ask you to end the contract with Flack and support the moratorium of data

35:24.140 --> 35:28.400
centers to protect Kenoshaans and to protect the health of safety, health of the water,

35:28.400 --> 35:32.240
the air, the land, the people, and the fragile ecosystems of the Great Lakes.

35:32.240 --> 35:34.680
Be on the right side of history, and I yield my time.

35:34.680 --> 35:38.440
Thank you.

35:38.440 --> 35:40.520
Next speaker, Dan Lasky.

35:40.520 --> 35:41.520
Hi.

35:41.520 --> 35:49.560
I'm not against technology, either.

35:49.560 --> 35:51.600
This helps me read out of the eye condition.

35:51.600 --> 35:57.240
In fact, I have to use AI every day and my job is required.

35:57.240 --> 35:58.240
I see Kenosha's written a page.

35:58.240 --> 35:59.240
Don't get your name in it.

35:59.240 --> 36:00.240
I'm sorry.

36:00.240 --> 36:01.240
Dan Laska.

36:02.240 --> 36:03.840
I live right next to this site.

36:03.840 --> 36:05.840
I share a property line with Microsoft.

36:05.840 --> 36:09.680
I'll give you an idea of a close assist to me.

36:09.680 --> 36:16.040
I see Kenosha where innovation fuels our economy, where neighborhoods are safe and thriving,

36:16.040 --> 36:19.000
where every resident feels a sense of belonging.

36:19.000 --> 36:24.200
I see a city that embraces sustainability, celebrates culture, ensures every voice is

36:24.200 --> 36:25.200
heard.

36:25.200 --> 36:30.400
This vision will take hard work, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our community,

36:30.400 --> 36:33.840
and have no doubt that Kenosha is up for the tax pass.

36:33.840 --> 36:39.480
Together, we will build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Kenosha for everyone.

36:39.480 --> 36:43.720
I don't even think this is a really good statement, something I want to hear from the

36:43.720 --> 36:50.560
leader, but I fear that some of it rings hollow now as we fight to be heard, represented,

36:50.560 --> 36:53.360
rather than ruled, which is kind of how we're feeling right now.

36:53.360 --> 37:00.080
I ask the common counsel for a one-year moratorium on the Microsoft hyperscale data center.

37:00.080 --> 37:06.360
I request this pause for due diligence, not only in investigate reports and studies,

37:06.360 --> 37:08.480
but personal accounts and experiences.

37:08.480 --> 37:13.480
I encourage you to reach out to your counterparts in other municipalities and to get their first

37:13.480 --> 37:14.920
hand point of view.

37:14.920 --> 37:20.600
Pleasant Prairie, Port Washington, Beaver Dam, Milwaukee, California.

37:20.600 --> 37:25.080
If they approved a data center, what has been in response and experience of the community?

37:25.080 --> 37:28.880
If they refuse a data center, what has been in response?

37:28.880 --> 37:34.080
This is valuable first-hand information, first-hand knowledge that should inform your

37:34.080 --> 37:35.080
decision.

37:35.080 --> 37:37.600
I ask you to visit.

37:37.600 --> 37:39.280
Visit the site if you haven't.

37:39.280 --> 37:44.000
The transformation of farmland will directly affect your constituents.

37:44.000 --> 37:50.600
Use that first-hand knowledge of where and what is going to change.

37:50.600 --> 37:56.760
See first-hand how the power poles and trees are forced by the wind to lean towards Kenosha.

37:56.760 --> 38:02.120
The same wind will carry exhaust from both the power plant and the data center to Kenosha.

38:02.120 --> 38:05.400
I ask that you consider the legacy.

38:05.400 --> 38:07.440
We've been told that we need a petition.

38:07.440 --> 38:11.720
The council responds to seeing commitments of a name on paper.

38:11.720 --> 38:20.040
This made me think about commitment of a name, seeing what it means, seeing I believe so

38:20.040 --> 38:23.200
strongly in this, I will lend my identity to it.

38:23.200 --> 38:25.880
With that, I thought, let's take this in another direction.

38:25.880 --> 38:27.920
Let's take this conversely.

38:27.920 --> 38:33.440
What if the data center was called the David F. Bagdala Hypercenter by Microsoft or the

38:33.440 --> 38:37.360
Kenosha Common Council Data Center by Microsoft?

38:37.360 --> 38:42.760
I imagine it doesn't sit well with some of you, if not all of you.

38:42.760 --> 38:47.400
If that's the case, you can't have your mark on your legacy.

38:47.400 --> 38:50.320
You have to ask why.

38:50.320 --> 38:56.720
How does it fit into the safer, stronger, more sustainable, and prosperous Kenosha?

38:56.720 --> 39:00.160
In closing, this is from the Visit Kenosha link.

39:00.160 --> 39:07.040
Picture Lakefront Community with two lighthouses, sandy column miles of Lake Michigan Starling.

39:07.040 --> 39:13.720
Picture streetcars passing through the vibrant downtown filled with museums, boutiques, shops,

39:13.720 --> 39:15.520
restaurants, and public arc.

39:15.520 --> 39:19.920
Picture yourself in the middle of a clause on and out there concert theater performance.

39:19.920 --> 39:26.120
Picture iconic trails to bike, hike, and ski, as well as opportunities to fish, golfing,

39:26.120 --> 39:27.280
and sailing.

39:27.280 --> 39:33.240
Picture a destination that lies beyond the expected, right in the heart of the Midwest.

39:33.240 --> 39:35.240
Picture your Kenosha.

39:35.240 --> 39:44.760
Now imagine on I-90, exit 340 to Kenosha, Richard Bong recreational center, Mars cheese castle,

39:44.760 --> 39:49.200
and the Hyper skill data center capital of Wisconsin.

39:49.200 --> 39:52.880
Thank you.

39:52.880 --> 39:56.200
Next speaker, Jared Hunt.

39:56.200 --> 40:08.160
Hello, my name is Jared Hunt.

40:08.160 --> 40:09.760
I wasn't sure what address to put down.

40:09.760 --> 40:11.840
I'm in the middle of a move.

40:11.840 --> 40:18.360
I'm moving to 5921 Sixth Avenue.

40:18.360 --> 40:25.720
One of 10 speakers today have come to voice concerns about the Microsoft AI data center.

40:25.720 --> 40:27.240
Everyone here has asked for a moratorium.

40:27.240 --> 40:33.640
I know that they've received, that people have received varying degrees of pushback.

40:33.640 --> 40:39.480
What I would like to say in addition to all of the environmental and economic concerns

40:39.480 --> 40:43.800
with people, you know, how this is going to affect wildlife and property values and our

40:43.800 --> 40:47.280
air quality.

40:47.280 --> 40:50.800
One of the things that I like about living in the United States is that we do have a

40:50.800 --> 40:51.960
representative government.

40:51.960 --> 40:54.480
We get to choose our elected officials.

40:54.480 --> 41:00.560
And I believe that that's an honor if people elect you to this position.

41:00.560 --> 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

41:08.840 --> 41:10.440
to represent your people.

41:10.440 --> 41:16.600
And I think it is a virtue if even if you hold reservations about what the people are asking

41:16.600 --> 41:23.520
for work on their behalf, 90% of the people here have said that we either want a moratorium

41:23.520 --> 41:27.600
on this AI data center or we don't want it at all.

41:27.600 --> 41:29.760
Please take that into consideration.

41:29.760 --> 41:31.760
Thank you.

41:31.760 --> 41:36.640
Okay, thank you all, please continue.

41:36.640 --> 41:41.040

Gentlemen from the 10th.

41:51.880 --> 41:52.880
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

41:52.880 --> 41:59.440

41:59.440 --> 42:04.600
Move in a second to approve item B1.

42:04.600 --> 42:06.640
Any discussion?

42:06.640 --> 42:07.640

42:09.640 --> 42:10.640
Any opposed?

Second.

42:11.640 --> 42:13.600
See recommendations from the committee on licenses and permits.

42:13.600 --> 42:17.320
See one application of Samantha Moore for a new operators license.

42:17.320 --> 42:18.320
Gentlemen from the 10th.

42:18.320 --> 42:19.340
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

42:19.340 --> 42:27.200

42:53.400 --> 42:57.240
Samantha Moore, 4517, 60th Street.

43:00.000 --> 43:01.320

43:01.320 --> 43:03.640
right now the motion is to concur,

43:03.640 --> 43:06.920
which is to grant at 85 points, correct, Mr. Chair?

43:07.720 --> 43:10.680
Unless there's anything you want to add to that?

43:10.680 --> 43:11.880
No.

43:11.880 --> 43:12.920
Thank you.

43:12.920 --> 43:14.280
If there's any questions from a council,

43:14.280 --> 43:15.280
we'll call you back up.

43:15.280 --> 43:15.960
Thank you.

43:15.960 --> 43:17.520
Thank you.

43:18.480 --> 43:21.600
Okay, at this time, close the hearing.

43:21.600 --> 43:25.080
Motion on the floor is concurrence on item C1.

Aye.

A, Jessica Sanchez, 70, B, Williams, Zachary, 40.

43:37.760 --> 43:38.960
Gentlemen, from the 10th.

43:38.960 --> 43:40.120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor, make a motion

Is there anything else on that?

43:49.120 --> 43:50.160
List, Mr. Chair.

43:53.240 --> 43:54.160
To concur?

43:54.160 --> 43:55.000
No, sir.

43:56.880 --> 43:57.720
Okay.

43:59.240 --> 44:00.480
The movement is second to concur.

44:00.480 --> 44:02.160

44:03.640 --> 44:06.000

44:14.320 --> 44:15.920

44:15.920 --> 44:18.560
I live at 25, 25 rooms as well, Rose.

44:18.560 --> 44:21.720
And on my license, I just wanted to,

44:21.720 --> 44:26.040
I see it says yes, but do I get some full paper

44:26.040 --> 44:27.960
or can I use this agenda?

44:28.800 --> 44:33.720
I'm not, can you, I'm not sure what you're asking for right now.

44:33.720 --> 44:36.400
I want to pick up your license.

44:36.400 --> 44:38.760
Well, right now the motion is to concur,

44:38.760 --> 44:40.520
which is to approve at 40 points

44:40.520 --> 44:42.360
if that motion is successful.

44:42.360 --> 44:44.280
You can come downstairs tomorrow

44:44.280 --> 44:46.800
at the clerk's office and pick that up.

44:46.800 --> 44:48.040
All right, thank you.

44:50.040 --> 44:51.800
Anyone else on item C2?

44:51.800 --> 44:52.640
Anyone else?

44:52.640 --> 44:54.360
Anyone else seeing none?

44:54.360 --> 44:55.200
Close the hearing.

44:55.200 --> 44:57.480
Motion on the floor is concurrence.

44:57.480 --> 44:58.920
Any discussion?

44:58.920 --> 45:00.760
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

45:00.760 --> 45:01.600
Aye.

45:01.600 --> 45:02.440
Any opposed?

45:02.440 --> 45:03.280
Motion carries.

45:03.280 --> 45:05.720
C3, renewal application of George Anna Wilson

45:05.720 --> 45:07.320
for an operator's license.

45:09.160 --> 45:10.200
Gentlemen, for intent.

45:10.200 --> 45:11.040
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

45:11.040 --> 45:12.240
I make a motion to concur with the recommendation

45:12.240 --> 45:14.960
of license permit to grant subject to 50 to mayor points.

45:17.440 --> 45:19.080
Is that the only one, Mr. Chair?

45:19.080 --> 45:19.920
Yes, sir.

45:19.920 --> 45:21.240
We'll get in there, sir.

45:23.080 --> 45:25.920
Okay, moving in second to concur item C3.

45:25.920 --> 45:27.520
At this time, we'll open up to a hearing.

Motion carries.

45:41.840 --> 45:44.400

45:46.160 --> 45:48.640
B, W, Malave.

45:48.640 --> 45:49.800
Gentlemen, for intent.

45:49.800 --> 45:50.640
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

45:50.640 --> 45:52.800
I make a recommendation to concur with the recommendation.

45:52.800 --> 45:55.560
Let's try that again.

45:55.600 --> 45:57.800
I make a motion to concur with the recommendation of license

45:57.800 --> 46:00.840
and permit to grant subject to a non-renewal revocation.

46:04.600 --> 46:05.960
Okay, it's moving to second to concur.

46:05.960 --> 46:07.400
It's time to open up to a hearing.

46:07.400 --> 46:09.000
Anyone here speaking item C4,

46:09.000 --> 46:11.600
please come forward, state your name and address.

46:14.160 --> 46:15.120
Good evening.

46:15.120 --> 46:18.020
Debbie Malave and 250360 Street,

46:18.020 --> 46:19.320
Kenosha, Wisconsin.

46:22.600 --> 46:25.280
I'm new at this, so I don't know how this really goes.

46:25.760 --> 46:28.080
Am I able to speak upon my behalf to show?

46:28.080 --> 46:29.760
Please, please do.

46:29.760 --> 46:34.000
Okay, I've been a licensed carrier for several years now,

46:34.000 --> 46:39.000
and it is actually my priority to continue to keep it.

46:39.120 --> 46:41.720
Based upon the information that you guys have

46:41.720 --> 46:43.160
off my background check,

46:43.160 --> 46:45.520
it doesn't defy who I am, what I do,

46:45.520 --> 46:47.300
and how I provide for my family.

46:48.600 --> 46:53.600
My actions that have shown, I don't have any priors.

46:53.760 --> 46:55.840
I don't have any cases, I haven't done anything.

46:55.840 --> 46:58.000
I'm a good employee, I work hard,

46:58.000 --> 47:00.360
I take care of my family, I'm a single mother,

47:00.360 --> 47:04.320
to a widow of an alcoholism problem.

47:04.320 --> 47:08.000
So, me to carry my license does not defy

47:09.920 --> 47:11.960
who I am and what I do.

47:11.960 --> 47:15.600
I ask upon you guys, are you everybody,

47:15.600 --> 47:18.840
to please accept, I have several letters

47:18.840 --> 47:22.000
or a couple of letters of recommendations from people,

47:22.000 --> 47:26.760
as well as the owner of the store,

47:26.760 --> 47:28.960
which is at Kenosha gas stop.

47:30.320 --> 47:32.400
If this can help, I would like it to,

47:32.400 --> 47:36.140
and please reconsider, my licensing.

47:39.160 --> 47:40.400
Do I?

47:40.400 --> 47:43.960
This is your opportunity to present your case.

47:43.960 --> 47:47.360
Right now, the committee has made a recommendation

47:47.360 --> 47:51.280
to grant subject to a non-renew revocation hearing.

47:51.280 --> 47:54.280
That's the motion that is on the floor right now.

47:54.280 --> 47:56.240
This is your opportunity to say whatever you have

47:56.240 --> 47:59.440
to say on that, and if the council has any questions

47:59.440 --> 48:02.080
for you, we would obviously call you back up,

48:02.080 --> 48:03.480
after we finish the hearing.

48:05.040 --> 48:06.560
Okay, I have my first letter,

48:06.560 --> 48:08.480
which is from Kenosha gas stop.

48:08.480 --> 48:11.600
Please accept this letter of verification of W. Malave.

48:11.600 --> 48:13.800
I am the owner to the Kenosha gas stop located

48:13.800 --> 48:15.880
at 2207 60th Avenue.

48:15.880 --> 48:19.440
W is an employee here and is a very full time employee

48:19.440 --> 48:22.640
and hard worker, and I would like to keep her as a role,

48:22.640 --> 48:25.320
as the role that she plays at my store as manager.

48:25.320 --> 48:27.760
She's a very good asset in my store.

48:27.760 --> 48:30.720
Please consider renewing her liquor earbuds

48:30.720 --> 48:31.700
at their license.

48:36.160 --> 48:37.760
Sorry, I'm nervous about this.

48:37.760 --> 48:39.440
My name is Amber Sork.

48:39.440 --> 48:42.640
I am an HRS specialist at the employee,

48:42.640 --> 48:45.240
in an employee and labor relations

48:45.240 --> 48:47.960
for the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.

48:47.960 --> 48:50.200
I'm writing this letter on behalf of Ms. Debbie Malave,

48:50.200 --> 48:53.440
which I have been known for the most past three years.

48:53.440 --> 48:54.800
During this time, which I have found her

48:54.800 --> 48:57.560
to be one of most responsible, honest caring

48:57.560 --> 49:00.000
and hardworking people that I have ever met.

49:00.000 --> 49:02.600
She is a single mother who works full time

49:02.600 --> 49:04.880
and supports not only her biological daughter,

49:04.880 --> 49:07.160
but also has care for other three children

49:07.160 --> 49:10.760
that their mother has biologically passed,

49:10.760 --> 49:13.520
or their mother had passed away.

49:13.520 --> 49:15.360
She also is a caregiver to her grandmother

49:15.360 --> 49:17.440
who has to mention other health issues.

49:17.440 --> 49:19.760
I have witnessed Ms. Malave make her family

49:19.760 --> 49:22.760
and well-being to the others of her top priority.

49:22.760 --> 49:24.160
During the time that I have known her,

49:24.160 --> 49:26.560
please allow Ms. Malave to renew her liquor license

49:26.560 --> 49:28.880
so that she can keep her position

49:28.880 --> 49:33.320
as a manager with her current employer.

49:33.320 --> 49:37.640
Excuse me, this job is vital to her

49:37.640 --> 49:41.440
and is being able to provide for those

49:41.440 --> 49:43.960
who rely on her as well or herself.

49:44.960 --> 49:48.200
I have the utmost confidence

49:48.200 --> 49:51.560
and the ability to utilize her license responsibly.

49:54.240 --> 49:56.760
Basically, all these letters show the same thing.

49:57.840 --> 49:59.520
Please give me that chance.

49:59.520 --> 50:02.640
Nothing defies what I did in my past year

50:03.960 --> 50:05.920
is an honest mistake.

50:05.920 --> 50:07.920
I'm not anybody just off the street

50:07.920 --> 50:11.040
who intentionally just gets in trouble.

50:11.960 --> 50:12.800
Thank you.

50:14.960 --> 50:16.680
Thank you.

50:16.680 --> 50:18.720
Anyone else on an MC4?

50:18.720 --> 50:19.760
Anyone else?

50:19.760 --> 50:21.760
Anyone else seeing none?

50:21.760 --> 50:22.680
Close the hearing.

50:24.960 --> 50:26.520
Gentlemen for the 10th.

50:27.360 --> 50:30.560
Through the mayor to the applicant Ms. Malave.

50:35.840 --> 50:38.120
You presented this information at the committee meeting?

50:38.120 --> 50:38.960
No, I did not.

50:38.960 --> 50:40.240
I wasn't able to.

50:40.240 --> 50:43.480
I was not understanding on how this goes.

50:44.000 --> 50:45.520
So you didn't attend the committee meeting?

50:45.520 --> 50:47.720
I did attend it.

50:47.720 --> 50:48.560
Okay.

50:48.560 --> 50:52.880
Were you understanding that the motion is to grant

50:52.880 --> 50:55.000
and at some later point you get to make a defense

50:55.000 --> 50:56.720
of why you need to keep the license

50:56.720 --> 50:58.320
so you can continue to work?

50:59.240 --> 51:02.640
No, if this motion passes,

51:02.640 --> 51:04.360
you can continue to work

51:04.360 --> 51:06.640
and at some later point you will have to make a defense

51:06.640 --> 51:08.760
and why you need to keep the license.

51:09.720 --> 51:10.600
You understand?

51:10.600 --> 51:11.440
No, I do.

51:12.920 --> 51:13.760
Thank you.

51:14.800 --> 51:17.040
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

So C-5 would need a, to grant,

Motion on the floor is concurrence on item C-5 and C-6,

52:48.920 --> 52:50.360

52:50.360 --> 52:52.960
that that would also include the waiver, okay.

Correction, correction.

54:33.640 --> 54:35.240
I move to approve C-8.

54:36.680 --> 54:43.120
Is that because of the denial, sir?

54:43.120 --> 54:48.120
You could concur with the license and permit recommendation would be an appropriate motion.

54:48.120 --> 54:51.120
That's what I meant, Mr. Mayor, thank you.

54:51.120 --> 54:52.120
Okay.

54:52.120 --> 54:53.120
That's why you're in the big chair.

54:56.120 --> 55:03.120

Any discussion?

55:26.120 --> 55:28.120
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

55:28.120 --> 55:29.120
Aye.

55:29.120 --> 55:30.120
Any opposed?

55:30.120 --> 55:32.120
Motion carries.

55:32.120 --> 55:36.120

55:52.120 --> 55:54.120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

55:54.120 --> 55:57.120
I make a motion to separate 10A from 10B, please.

55:57.120 --> 55:58.120
Okay.

55:58.120 --> 56:01.120
Motion is to separate.

56:01.120 --> 56:05.120
If I could, Mr. D attorney, do we need to separate?

56:06.120 --> 56:07.120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

56:07.120 --> 56:10.120
I make a motion to separate 10A from 10B, please.

56:10.120 --> 56:11.120
Second.

56:11.120 --> 56:12.120
Okay.

56:12.120 --> 56:16.120
Motion is to separate.

56:16.120 --> 56:21.120
If I could, Mr. D attorney, do we need to separate?

56:21.120 --> 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?

56:31.120 --> 56:34.120
I just want, do we even, do we need to do that?

56:34.120 --> 56:39.120
The gentleman wants to do that, we can, but I just wanted to.

56:47.120 --> 56:48.120
Oh, I'm sorry.

56:48.120 --> 56:50.120
I did, did you microphone?

56:50.120 --> 56:52.120
Go ahead, sir.

56:52.120 --> 56:54.120
I wasn't at the committee meeting.

56:55.120 --> 57:02.120
I'm presuming based upon the motion that the applications were separated and considered separately.

57:02.120 --> 57:13.120
And after the initial vote on item A, there was a second vote on item B.

57:13.120 --> 57:22.120
You could move to concur with the recommendations on A and B as your honor has indicated.

57:22.120 --> 57:25.120
Or you could separate them and have separate votes.

57:25.120 --> 57:26.120
Okay.

57:26.120 --> 57:27.120
Again, it's up to you, Mr. Chairman.

57:27.120 --> 57:28.120
I just want to make that.

57:28.120 --> 57:31.120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

57:31.120 --> 57:34.120
I still make the motion to separate, please.

57:34.120 --> 57:35.120
Okay.

57:35.120 --> 57:39.120
Is there a second on separation?

57:39.120 --> 57:40.120
Seconded.

57:40.120 --> 57:42.120
Seconded to separate C10A and B. Any discussion?

57:42.120 --> 57:44.120
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

57:44.120 --> 57:45.120
Aye.

57:45.120 --> 57:46.120
Any opposed?

57:46.120 --> 57:47.120
Motion carries.

57:47.120 --> 57:49.120
Mr. Chairman, on C10A.

57:49.120 --> 57:57.120
C10A, Mr. Mayor, make a motion to concur with the recommendation of license and permit to grant.

57:57.120 --> 57:58.120
Is there a second?

57:58.120 --> 58:06.120
On your laptop, sir.

58:06.120 --> 58:10.120
Is it to grant or to concur with license and permit?

58:10.120 --> 58:13.120
Concurs, sir.

58:13.120 --> 58:16.120
The motion on the floor is to concur on C10A.

58:16.120 --> 58:17.120
I still need to have a hearing.

58:17.120 --> 58:20.120
At this time, I open up to a hearing.

58:20.120 --> 58:23.120
At this time, were anyone here to speak on C10A?

58:23.120 --> 58:31.120
Please come forward, state your name and address.

58:31.120 --> 58:32.120
Good evening, Parker Conover.

58:32.120 --> 58:35.120
One east main, Madison, Wisconsin.

58:35.120 --> 58:38.120
Council to Bon Appetit.

58:38.120 --> 58:39.120
Good evening.

58:39.120 --> 58:40.120
My name is Genevieve Mylin.

58:40.120 --> 58:43.120
It's 6048 10th Street here in Kenosha.

58:43.120 --> 58:49.120
I am the Bon Appetit General Manager on site at Carthage College.

58:49.120 --> 58:51.120
Happy to take any questions.

58:51.120 --> 58:52.120
We're taking over.

58:52.120 --> 58:56.120
So Bon Appetit is taking over the Food and Beverage Service at Carthage College.

58:56.120 --> 59:02.120
So this is not the same license, but effectively a transfer of the license from the old provider to us.

59:02.120 --> 59:06.120
And again, we welcome any questions.

59:06.120 --> 59:07.120
Thank you both.

59:07.120 --> 59:11.120
If there are any, we'll maybe just hang tight there for a second.

59:11.120 --> 59:15.120
At this time, I will close the hearing.

59:15.120 --> 59:16.120
Older persons.

59:16.120 --> 59:20.120
Right now, the motion on the floor is to concur on C10A, which is to grant.

59:20.120 --> 59:21.120
Any discussion?

59:21.120 --> 59:24.120
John, we're from the 16th.

59:24.120 --> 59:25.120
Yes.

59:25.120 --> 59:33.120
Teddy applicants, can you talk a little bit about your license and the students that go to Carthage?

59:33.120 --> 59:38.120
How that's going to work with alcohol?

59:38.120 --> 59:45.120
So the catering department at Carthage College does not do alcohol services to the students.

59:45.120 --> 59:53.120
This would be for events, donation events, presidential events, maybe a wedding that we do on site.

59:53.120 --> 01:00:00.120
So this is more focused towards the catering department, not the students nor sporting events or concessions.

01:00:00.120 --> 01:00:01.120
Thank you.

01:00:01.120 --> 01:00:02.120
I just wanted to add a record.

01:00:02.120 --> 01:00:04.120
I know you mentioned that the licensing and purpose committee.

01:00:04.120 --> 01:00:05.120
Thank you.

01:00:05.120 --> 01:00:06.120
You're welcome.

01:00:06.120 --> 01:00:07.120
Thanks.

01:00:07.120 --> 01:00:08.120
Okay.

01:00:08.120 --> 01:00:09.120
Anyone else?

01:00:09.120 --> 01:00:14.120
If not, motion on the floor is to concur with C10A, which is to grant.

01:00:14.120 --> 01:00:15.120
All those may ever say aye.

01:00:15.120 --> 01:00:16.120
Aye.

01:00:16.120 --> 01:00:17.120
Any opposed?

01:00:17.120 --> 01:00:18.120
Motion carries.

01:00:18.120 --> 01:00:19.120

01:00:19.120 --> 01:00:20.120

Any laptops?

01:00:30.120 --> 01:00:31.120
Aye.

01:00:31.120 --> 01:00:33.120
I thought I did.

01:00:33.120 --> 01:00:36.120
Sorry about that.

01:00:36.120 --> 01:00:38.840
moved and seconded to deny,

01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:41.160
due to lack of license availability.

01:00:41.160 --> 01:00:42.000
Yes, sir.

01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:43.600
At this time, we'll open up to a hearing.

01:00:43.600 --> 01:00:45.540
Anyone here speaking on item C10B,

01:00:46.560 --> 01:00:49.000
please come forward, state your name and address.

01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:52.040
Again, my name is Rosar Rodriguez

01:00:52.040 --> 01:00:54.840
and my address 1721, 50th Street,

01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:59.840
Kenosha, Wisconsin, I don't know if you have questions or...

01:01:02.040 --> 01:01:04.280
If there are any questions, we'll finish the hearing

01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:05.680
if there's anything you wanted to add,

01:01:05.680 --> 01:01:07.760
if there are specific questions from Council,

01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:08.760
we'll call you back up.

01:01:12.200 --> 01:01:14.000
Okay, I'll close the hearing.

01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:16.680
Motion on the floor is to deny based on

01:01:16.680 --> 01:01:20.680
lack of license availability on B, any discussion?

01:01:21.560 --> 01:01:23.440
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:24.280
Aye.

01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:25.640
Any opposed?

01:01:25.640 --> 01:01:27.120
Motion carries.

01:01:27.120 --> 01:01:28.400
C11 findings of fact,

01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:31.000
conclusions of law and recommendations

01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:33.520
and proposed order in matter of the operator's license

01:01:33.520 --> 01:01:35.440
of Nicholas P. Enzel-Dua.

01:01:38.200 --> 01:01:39.280
Gentlemen, from the 10th.

01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:40.120
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

01:01:40.120 --> 01:01:41.440
I make a motion to concur with the recommendation

01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:43.000
of the license and permit

01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.720
to suspend the license for 10 consecutive days

01:01:45.720 --> 01:01:48.200
and reinstate the subject to 85 to mere points

01:01:48.200 --> 01:01:52.040
or to accept the conclusions of law and recommendations.

01:01:52.040 --> 01:01:53.520
Second.

01:01:53.520 --> 01:01:56.000
So I'm moving it second to concur with license and permit.

01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:57.880
At this time, I'll open up to a hearing.

01:01:57.880 --> 01:01:59.800
Anyone here speaking on item C11,

01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:02.520
please come forward, state your name and address.

01:02:02.520 --> 01:02:03.400
Anyone here speak?

01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:04.240
Anyone here speak?

01:02:04.240 --> 01:02:05.160
Seeing none.

01:02:05.160 --> 01:02:06.240
Close the hearing.

01:02:06.240 --> 01:02:07.680
Motion on the floor is to concurrence.

01:02:07.680 --> 01:02:09.080
Any discussion?

01:02:09.080 --> 01:02:11.000
Seeing none, all those in favor say aye.

01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:11.840
Aye.

01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:12.880
Any opposed?

01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:14.240
Motion carries.

01:02:14.240 --> 01:02:15.600
Gee orness's second reading.

01:02:15.600 --> 01:02:18.120
Gee one orness by the Mayor to repeal and recreate

01:02:18.120 --> 01:02:21.480
chapter 5.119, recycling of the Code of General Ornesses

01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:22.760
for the City of Kenoshell.

01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:26.920
Lady from the 8th.

01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.920
Yes.

01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:35.920
Make a motion to approve item G1.

01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:40.920
Is there a second?

01:02:40.920 --> 01:02:42.920
On your laptop?

01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:43.920
Uh.

01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:45.920
Thank you.

01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:48.920
Sorry about that.

01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:50.920
It's been moving and seconded to approve.

01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:53.920
At this time, open it up to a public hearing.

01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:55.920
Anyone here speaking on item G1?

01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:56.920
Anyone here speak?

01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:57.920
Anyone here speak?

01:02:57.920 --> 01:02:58.920
Seeing none.

01:02:58.920 --> 01:02:59.920
Close the public hearing.

01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:01.920
Gentlemen from the third.

01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:02.920
Thank you, Ron.

01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.920
Just so that the public is clear on one of the changes,

01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:10.920
I know a lot of times people have been told you can't recycle

01:03:10.920 --> 01:03:14.920
your egg cartons, et cetera, that are poly foam,

01:03:14.920 --> 01:03:18.920
polystyrene, et cetera, and as I read this ordinance change,

01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:22.920
that is now going to be acceptable for recycling.

01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:24.920
If I got that correct.

01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:27.920
Mr. Cater.

01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:43.920
Yes, that's correct, yes.

01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:44.920
Did you say yes?

01:03:44.920 --> 01:03:47.920
Yes, sir.

01:03:47.920 --> 01:03:48.920
Thank you.

01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:52.920
This is something that for many people will try to recycle in the

01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:54.920
city.

01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:56.920
I realize that the blue cans fill up a lot,

01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:01.920
but the egg cartons and the polystyrene and some packaging,

01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:02.920
it's got to go somewhere.

01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:05.920
And I think most people would prefer to go and recycling

01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:08.920
rather than into the present Hill landfill.

01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:09.920
Thank you.

01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:11.920
Thank you, sir.

01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:12.920
Anyone else?

01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:13.920
Seeing none.

01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:15.920
Motion on the floor is to approve.

01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:16.920
Item G1.

01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:18.920
All those in favor will vote aye.

01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:19.920
Those opposed?

01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:20.920
No.

01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:21.920
Roll call, please.

01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:27.920
Motion carries 15-0.

01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:32.920
G2, ordinance by the mayor to amend subsection 2.06 of the code of

01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:35.920
general ordinances for the city of Kenosha regarding payment by

01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:37.920
non-sufficient fund checks.

01:04:37.920 --> 01:04:39.920
General from the 13th.

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.920
Thank you, your honor.

01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:47.920
I move to concur with the finance committee recommendations on G2.

01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:48.920
Second.

01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:57.920
It's been moving second to approve or concur on item G2.

01:04:57.920 --> 01:04:59.920
At this time, open up to a hearing.

01:04:59.920 --> 01:05:00.920
Public hearing.

01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:02.920
Anyone here speak on item G2?

01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:04.920
Anyone here speak?

01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:05.920
Anyone here speak?

01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:06.920
Seeing none.

01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:08.920
Close the public hearing.

01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:10.920
Motion on the floor is approval.

01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:11.920
General from 16th.

01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.920
Yeah, Mr. Mayor, can I have a little bit more information about this

01:05:14.920 --> 01:05:15.920
before I vote?

01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:16.920
One tenth.

01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:19.920
I can speak on that.

01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:23.920
So historically, we've never charged back the customer for

01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:26.920
submitting a check that did not clear the bank.

01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.920
So we've always absorbed those fees and now we're trying to be

01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:33.920
able to charge them for the fees that we incur.

01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:34.920
Okay.

01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:35.920
Thank you.

01:05:35.920 --> 01:05:36.920
Good idea.

01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:38.920
Which is in line with other municipalities and county

01:05:38.920 --> 01:05:39.920
government?

01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:40.920
Yes.

01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:41.920
Okay.

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:42.920
Thank you.

01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:43.920
Okay.

01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:47.920
Anyone else on item G2?

01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:48.920
Seeing none.

01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:52.920
Motion on the floor is approval or concurrence.

01:05:52.920 --> 01:05:54.920
All those in favor say aye.

01:05:54.920 --> 01:05:55.920
We'll vote aye.

01:05:55.920 --> 01:05:56.920
I'll suppose no.

01:05:56.920 --> 01:06:01.920
Roll call please.

01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:03.920
Motion carries 15 to zero.

01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:05.920
H zoning ordinance is second reading.

01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:08.920
H1 zoning ordinance by the city plan commission to repeal and

01:06:08.920 --> 01:06:12.920
recreate section two of rezoning ordinance 17-24 to rezone the

01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:17.920
property at 54-37th avenue 54-37th avenue 610-55th street

01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:22.920
618-55th street and 620-55th street from B3 central business

01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:25.920
district and IP institutional park district to B5 downtown mixed

01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.920
use district in conformance with section 10.02 of the zoning

01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:30.920
ordinance.

01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:32.920
Thank you, your honor.

01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:39.920
I move to approve this after public hearing.

01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:42.920
I moved and seconded to approve at this time open up to a public

01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:43.920
hearing.

01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.920

01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:47.920
Please come forward.

01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:48.920
Say your name and address.

01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:49.920
Anyone here speak?

01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:50.920
Anyone here speak?

01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:51.920
Seeing none.

01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:52.920
Close the public hearing.

01:06:52.920 --> 01:06:54.920
Motion on the floor is approval.

01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:56.920
Any discussion?

01:06:56.920 --> 01:06:57.920
Seeing none.

01:06:57.920 --> 01:06:58.920
All those in favor of vote aye.

01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:05.920

01:07:05.920 --> 01:07:07.920
Motion carries 15 to zero.

01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:10.920
So we have one resolution by the committee on finance to levy

01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:11.920
special charges.

01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:13.920

01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:35.480

01:11:39.040 --> 01:11:45.040
Motion on the floor is concurrence on L4, L5, and M1.

01:11:45.040 --> 01:11:46.040
Gentlemen, from the 16th.

01:11:46.040 --> 01:11:51.040
Yeah, on L5, I hear from the fire chief.

01:11:51.040 --> 01:11:54.040
Executive, what this is about?

01:11:54.040 --> 01:12:01.040
Chief.

01:12:01.040 --> 01:12:05.040
Can you repeat your question, Alderman?

01:12:05.040 --> 01:12:10.040
Yeah, what on L5, about the Honeywell?

01:12:10.040 --> 01:12:15.040
Yes, so this is the purchase agreement for a new tone alert system.

01:12:15.040 --> 01:12:19.040
It's a 2026 CIP item previously approved.

01:12:19.040 --> 01:12:22.040
This is a contract to buy that system.

01:12:22.040 --> 01:12:25.040
Replace all of the tone alerts and all the fire stations are outdated.

01:12:25.040 --> 01:12:30.040
This will be an updated modern system, and it will do several things.

01:12:30.040 --> 01:12:33.040
One, it should result in faster dispatch times.

01:12:33.040 --> 01:12:36.040
And the second thing, it's safer for the firefighters.

01:12:36.040 --> 01:12:41.040
It's a ramp-up tone versus the loud startling tones that we have right now.

01:12:41.040 --> 01:12:44.040
But it's a more advanced system to put in all of our stations.

01:12:44.040 --> 01:12:49.040
It's for the dispatch to get all of the fire station.

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,

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.

01:12:59.040 --> 01:13:00.040
Okay, very good.

01:13:00.040 --> 01:13:01.040
Thank you.

01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:03.040
This is also something Chief Craig.

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

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.

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.

01:13:21.040 --> 01:13:22.040
Yes, sir.

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

01:13:27.040 --> 01:13:31.040
when the tones go off, and this system's help keep it down.

01:13:31.040 --> 01:13:32.040
Yep.

01:13:32.040 --> 01:13:35.040
Gentlemen, front of the fifth.

01:13:35.040 --> 01:13:36.040
Thank you, Mayor.

01:13:36.040 --> 01:13:40.040
Chief, there's also a two-color sequence on this explain that.

01:13:40.040 --> 01:13:46.040
So along with the audio tone alert, there's also visual lights in the station,

01:13:46.040 --> 01:13:48.040
depending on the rig that you're on.

01:13:48.040 --> 01:13:51.040
So if you're assigned to a med unit, the blue lights will flash.

01:13:51.040 --> 01:13:55.040
If you're assigned to a suppression rig, it will be red.

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.

01:14:00.040 --> 01:14:01.040
Yep.

01:14:01.040 --> 01:14:03.040
Thank you, Chief.

01:14:03.040 --> 01:14:05.040
Anyone else?

01:14:05.040 --> 01:14:06.040
No.

01:14:06.040 --> 01:14:11.040
Motion on the floor is concurrence in L4-5 and M1.

01:14:11.040 --> 01:14:19.040
Roll call, please.

01:14:19.040 --> 01:14:22.040
Motion carries 15-0.

01:14:22.040 --> 01:14:27.040

01:14:27.040 --> 01:14:29.040
Lady from the 12th.

01:14:29.040 --> 01:14:31.040

01:14:41.040 --> 01:14:47.040
So if anyone is interested, please see Chris.

01:14:47.040 --> 01:14:50.040
Chris Coachman, correct, in the Mayor's office.

01:14:50.040 --> 01:14:51.040

01:14:52.040 --> 01:14:54.040
Lady from the 15th.

01:14:54.040 --> 01:14:57.040
I just want to say a big thank you to the Public Works Department.

01:14:57.040 --> 01:15:01.040

01:15:01.040 --> 01:15:05.040

01:15:05.040 --> 01:15:07.040

01:15:07.040 --> 01:15:10.040
Thank you.

01:15:10.040 --> 01:15:11.040
Thank you.

01:15:11.040 --> 01:15:12.040
Anyone else?

01:15:12.040 --> 01:15:19.040
If not, a motion to adjourn on your laptop will be in order.

01:15:19.040 --> 01:15:20.040
