11:26

Uh to our neighbors and time and stuff.

11:35

And one uh number of my community that we stopped in code would be that one of the money to that was delivering mail in in in the uh as well as five to seven clock and even uh the way from Hamilton, meaning that that person delivered about in Hamilton and then go down each and overtime to help the pay with increasing what kind of running for that is not sustainable.

12:14

And the subject become this one uh and and you look into it and it's because it's very true, people need on the time often.

12:24

That's how businesses go, that's how business is possible, and you can't be there for a thing.

12:32

But anyway, not we know what number they call because the biggest challenge we've had to pick up the phone.

12:50

We're gonna keep calling um keep hiding for a resident.

12:55

Um I did find out that the press office recently had two new people.

13:00

So that should help once we put two people that up to speed um get out on the back.

13:06

So we'll help call that service is going to improve um, but we're gonna keep on doing what we can to solve that problem as well.

Quincy City Council Meeting Summary – December 8, 2025

The Quincy City Council met on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 7:00 PM (noted as 13:15 UTC in the meeting metadata) in Council Chambers. The meeting included prayer, pledge, roll call, approval of minutes, township reports, public comment, petition, plan commission reports, consent agenda, regular agenda items, and mayor's comments. The transcript provided is heavily garbled; thus, specific speaker positions and detailed deliberation are limited.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • A speaker addressed homelessness, suggesting studying successful models from other communities to address the issue. The speaker also raised concerns about mail delivery delays in the community, noting that the post office recently hired two new employees, which may improve service.
  • Another speaker discussed general community issues, but the content is unclear due to transcription errors.

Consent Calendar

  • Items on the consent agenda included routine approvals and were moved to the regular agenda for discussion:
    • 9A: Denial of a Special Permit for Planned Development for outdoor storage of up to four solar-powered light towers at 1629 South 57th Street and a contiguous 5.88-acre parcel (outside city limits, near Ward 5).
    • 9B: Approval of subdivision of an 8.95-acre parcel at the northeast corner of Columbus Road and Arthurs Court for multiple single-family residential dwellings (outside city limits, near Ward 3).
    • 10A–10G: Various resolutions including a police contract with Quicket Solutions ($14,500 first year), audio/video equipment upgrade ($14,041.34), return of timeclocks for $22,255 credit, sale of a 2000 fire safety trailer, roofing at Station 3 ($32,500), wellness services contract ($72,000), and traffic signal repair at 6th and Broadway ($48,100, with restitution sought).

Discussion Items

  • 9A – Denial of Special Permit: The council discussed the denial recommendation for the solar light tower storage. One member noted the proposal conflicted with adjacent land use and open space concerns. The item was pulled from consent for further discussion, but no final action was recorded in the transcript.
  • 9B – Subdivision Approval: Discussion centered on the subdivision for residential development. The council noted the lot size and potential impact, with general support for the recommendation.
  • 10G – Traffic Signal Repair: A council member inquired about seeking restitution from the responsible party for the accident-damaged traffic signal. The city attorney indicated that if the responsible party is identified, legal action may be taken to recover the $48,100 cost.
  • 11A – Web Hosting Contract: The IT director recommended approval of a four-year contract with Granicus for Government Experience Service Cloud Essentials at $108,971.68, with $24,910 from the current budget. Discussion touched on budget constraints and necessity.
  • Ordinances: Second presentations of tax levy ordinances for the Historic Quincy Business District and the City of Quincy, as well as a tax abatement ordinance. First presentation of an ordinance amending the municipal grocery retailers’ occupation tax to correct a section number (technical amendment requested by the state department of revenue).

Key Outcomes

  • The council voted to move items 9A, 9B, and 10 (unspecified) from the consent agenda to the regular agenda for discussion; no final votes were captured in the transcript.
  • The mayor reminded the public about the upcoming Christmas events: the 25th annual Festival of Lights on Friday, December 13, and the fire department’s Santa run on Saturday, December 13.
  • The IT director reported that the city’s public computers have been updated to Windows 11 and the virtual environment eliminated, which should improve performance.
  • No formal votes or closures were recorded in the available transcript; the meeting adjourned after mayor’s comments.

Note: The transcript is highly garbled; therefore, some details and speaker attributions may be incomplete. The agenda items listed reflect the official agenda for the meeting.
