Good evening.

3:23

I do local volunteer partnership for closer times.

3:27

And it's funded up here for Close to Placid Forum.

3:32

And we're a hundred percent voluntary labs on top of our jobs and coding.

3:36

We're also out there coming together for 135 times.

3:40

So if you have a volunteering on your heart, please follow us and reach out to us on Facebook, Western Channel Post the Cat, email Western Code.

3:51

And each time anyone can be assigned to some business cards on this table right outside the door if you are interested.

4:01

So collect this start to October first.

4:12

And then the really cool thing that goes to talk is we could come and stop at our warehouse and pick up the toys themselves for their coding.

4:40

One of our volunteers as well.

Speaker 2

10:52

I will put that to the same right now.

Unassigned speaker

14:06

Okay.

Unassigned speaker

18:42

And we have a presentation and the case of the community and public for all of all of the all of the market would be all

Speaker 2

25:30

What the fuck is the working with the all of the things that they can all things want to start button?

27:28

Um

Unassigned speaker

30:00

And then it's all about this one on the bottom of me.

Unassigned speaker

32:01

And

Speaker 2

32:01

we can definitely need to eye.

32:11

And we have six people.

32:14

I will call you in the order and look at the fine back.

Unassigned speaker

32:26

And

Speaker 2

32:26

the last three minutes.

32:29

Um the big afternoon.

33:16

The problem is that that's a good and difficult.

33:22

And both are the system.

33:31

We just call that property.

33:37

You can create another.

33:46

You know how to cooperate.

33:48

You know how to do responsibilities, you know what I'm saying?

33:51

The question is what you can see if that's not a proof on the everybody.

34:06

Let's talk about what's going on.

34:18

What's that?

34:20

What happens in this book?

34:24

And perhaps most importantly, we're going to have to match what the public is in there.

34:33

And the main one is happening.

Unassigned speaker

34:40

And

Speaker 2

34:40

then that's how we could go about the people who need to have to be space.

Unassigned speaker

34:58

And

Speaker 2

34:58

you can see that.

Unassigned speaker

35:00

And you can see that the problem is modern system in the government.

Speaker 2

35:17

That is something we can verify.

35:24

That's anything.

Unassigned speaker

36:35

I

Speaker 2

36:35

think we can develop the ball.

Unassigned speaker

42:34

And

Speaker 2

42:35

then if they can probably take an appointment apologized to uh

Speaker 1

42:41

you can force the idea.

Unassigned speaker

42:52

And

Speaker 2

42:52

the capital is the actual being right now to test in the morning.

43:05

Compromise, carbon for someone that doesn't have to have it.

44:03

Um

45:53

I think it's like a side of the phone with one and I think that one.

47:17

Um I think that's something I think.

51:08

I think we have a few instructions.

Unassigned speaker

55:00

And we can take a look at the things that you can quite think.

Unassigned speaker

59:19

Um do my family once this week.

Speaker 2

1:00:27

Quincy City Council Meeting – September 28, 2026

The Quincy City Council convened on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers. The agenda noted that all items presented were subject to final action. Items included a Toys for Tots proclamation, an update on the Capital Plan by Director of Engineering Steve Bange, a public comment period, a consent agenda containing petition 8a and resolutions 9a–9g, a jurisdictional transfer agreement, and ordinances 11a–11e. No minutes were provided, and the available raw transcript is heavily garbled; final action on most items cannot be confirmed.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • The agenda provided a public comment period with a three-minute limit per speaker. The transcript includes the phrases we have six people and the last three minutes, possibly procedural, but no public testimony is intelligible in the available recording.

Discussion Items

  • Toys for Tots Proclamation: A presenter described the effort as 100 percent voluntary on top of volunteers' regular jobs, said the collection begins October 1, mentioned that volunteers can pick up toys at the organization's warehouse, and directed interested people to business cards outside the Council Chambers and to social media/contact channels. The transcript phrase coming together for 135 times was not intelligible enough to clarify.
  • Capital Plan Update: The agenda listed an update by Director of Engineering Steve Bange. The raw transcript does not contain a clear, intelligible account of the update.
  • Regular Session Resolution 10a: Public Works Director, Director of Engineering, and Central Services Committee recommended approval of a Jurisdictional Transfer Agreement between the City of Quincy and Adams County to transfer a portion of 48th Street (FAU Route 7831 – Co Hwy 37) from the south edge of Illinois Route 104 (Broadway) southerly to 300 feet south of the intersection of State Street and South 48th Street, and to add a portion of State Street (FAS 591 – Co Hwy 5) from 600 feet west of to 500 feet east of the intersection of State Street and South 48th Street, to the Municipal Street System.

  • Ordinance 11b: Adoption of a district map amendment changing C1a to C2 at 1600, 1610, 1612, 1622, 1624 Broadway, and R2 to C2 at 1626, 1630, 1632, 1700 Broadway (Ward 4).

  • Monthly reports, Report of Finance Committee, Mayor's Comments, New Business, and Adjournment were listed, but no content from these items is captured in the available transcript.

Key Outcomes

  • No vote outcomes or final decisions are documented in the provided materials.
  • The Toys for Tots proclamation/presentation was delivered, and the collection was announced to begin October 1.
  • Fireworks Authority Inc.'s request for an October 17 display was on the agenda, but no approval is documented.
