All right, it is six o'clock, so we are going to get started.

I'm calling the Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 council meeting to order.

We'll start with roll call.

Christine.

Here.

Everett.

Wiggerson.

Here.

Piper.

Vantrieste.

Here.

Wells.

Here.

Manion.

Witeska.

Here.

Anderson.

Here.

Hugaste?

Here.

Matthews.

Here.

McLitz.

Here.

Lemke.

Here.

Camacho.

Yep.

Here.

Excellent.

Everyone's here, and we do have a quorum.

Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the five of the United States of America.

And the Republic for which it stands one nation under God in the school with liberty and justice for all.

All right.

Next up we have public comment.

We will start with Annette Kuglich.

Hope I said that right.

And if you would like to come up to the microphone up here, you'll have three minutes.

If you could please say your name and your address.

Isn't that here?

She's coming.

Annette Kuglich, 316 East Wabash Avenue.

I am here tonight in person as a one person, no Queen's protest.

What am I protesting?

As our new mayor's pub first public act, she thought it was best to put forth a proclamation that divides this city instead of one that would promote unity.

Why not instead issue a proclamation that celebrates the 250 years of America's independence?

America is unlike at least 67 other countries that have national laws criminalizing same-sex relations between consenting adults.

Can't we instead put forth a proclamation that celebrates this great nation and all of the men and women that gave their lives to protect to protect the liberties of us all?

I'm here tonight to protest a proclamation that honors and celebrates a small minority of people in this community based on their sexuality and life choices.

A celebration that lasts an entire month when we only have one day set aside to honor the lives of those who die to establish and protect our liberties, and only one day to honor those who put it all on the line to fight for those liberties.

Finally, I'm here tonight to protest the authoritarian proclamation that doesn't require a community consensus or even a vote by the common council, or even at the very least, a discussion between council members to prove to proclaim Pride Month to a community of 71,000 taxpaying citizens.

All it takes is one person, our mayor, to proclaim to the entire community that we will recognize and celebrate one group of people over all others.

Will the mayor also proclaim a month of this year?

30 seconds has proclaimed Fidelity Month, which is an observance aimed at encouraging residents to renew their commitment to God, family, community, and country, or will the mayor proclaim a month of this year as Indiana has to nuclear family month, emphasizing the importance of strong families to the future of this nation.

Will the mayor be inclusive to all residents so they feel valued, safe, empowered, and supported by community leaders.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thank you.

Next up we have Elizabeth Bruders.

And again, please say your name and your address, and you'll have three minutes.

Elizabeth Bruders, 123 Hinman Avenue.

Um, I would also like to protest the the proclamation that you're putting forth.

Do you put in the um the bottom of it that it's for equality?

But this is actually not showing equality to the people of this community, but just showing a special privileges to a small part of it.

I'm also concerned about whether you are going to be having taxpayer funds used for any part of this celebration or the pride month that you put forth.

And I'm also concerned about the fact that there has not been able to be any discussion or voting from other members of this council.

So I just think you should have input from others before you create a proclamation like this.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next up we have Kathy Briggs.

Thank you.

My name is Kathy Briggs.

I live at 3022 Rolling Ridge Drive.

I'm a long time Walkie Shaw resident.

And I would like to address the agenda item regarding the proclamation of June to be Pride Month.

And I'm not sure, Ms.

Mayor, why you're choosing to spend precious time on this issue as June has been Pride Month for a long, long time.

Anyone born this century has known about it their entire life and is well acquainted with the ideas of tolerance.

So I I do not support adoption of this proclamation, and I I didn't know until right now that it was just a you know you don't unilateral decision.

I don't understand why we single out a group of people for formal recognition based mainly on their sexual preferences preferences, which in my view is something that's very personal and should not be shouted from the rooftops.

And also it uh diminishes the honors that should be bestowed to those whose contributions and sacrifices are selfless acts, not personal and private matters.

I believe that such recognition by governments should be doled out sparingly and reserved for the real heroes among us.

Therefore, I would suggest to the mayor and the council that rather than jumping on this bandwagon that walkie shaw for a change, lead the bandwagon and designate a month.

I think July would be suitable to be military veterans, fallen soldiers, law enforcement, firefighters, and all our beloved first responders month.

If you want to have a separate month for each person or each each of the aforementioned groups, I I'm open uh to discussion on that.

But but these are the men and women who are the real heroes and of our community and truly deserve a full month, not a mere 24 hours of recognition recognition, as they are the ones that enable the rest of us, and I mean all of us, not just a small portion of us, all of us, to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next up we have Lisa Saul.

Lisa Saub, 434 Madison Street, different topic.

Um I had sent you all an email in regards to the water utility property across the street.

I hope you had a chance to look at that.

Um, in that I included some photographs that I took.

I don't know if any of you have had a chance to tour that property, um, but it has the beautiful land and stone wall.

Um, there's a grassy area with mature trees, there's stone buildings, um, and then of course there's the the uh base of the water dome.

I have a t-shirt that was from the landmarks commission from 40 years ago when they recognized that that was a historic site, and um thank you to Carol Lombardi that she had a replica of that water dome put up in 2004 near Avalon.

So that's wonderful.

But in my email, I just wanted you to consider um what we could do for redevelopment of that property.

Um I had heard that it has been said by staff that I am against development, and that is not true.

I'm all for redevelopment as long as it fits on the property that is going into.

And so we have this property there that um I believe it was in 2016 that um the city paid for uh a study on that, um, and that was by uh SGH.

Um, and that was for the utility garage and maintenance building.

And I believe it says that we paid a half a million dollars to have that roof redone on that building.

So I'm wondering, you know, that was quite an investment in less than 10 years ago.

Um I'm wondering if we could possibly put the other four properties um up for sale and maybe lease this property across the street.

Now we're in the Blair House.

That property was leased for over 50 years before they sold it.

So there's really not a rush for us to redevelop that.

I'm I'm very concerned with the new zoning code that there may try to be something like the flat iron building in in Manhattan that's a triangle that's 20 stories tall.

Um we need really need to look at that neighborhood.

The majority of the street frontage is on North Street.

Uh it's almost doubled of what's on Delafield Street.

And what do we have there?

It butts up to the Weber Brewery, um, which is now North Pillar.

That is a historic site.

Across the street is the 30 seconds remaining.

Thank you.

The motor building.

Um, that also that's a local landmark.

So we have still a historic area there.

The Mandel development has not been settled in court, it has not been approved.

You can't go over what might possibly be there in the future.

What we have now is what you need to consider.

Please consider leasing that site and take some time to figure out what could go there.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Is there anyone else that wishes to speak for public comment?

All right, moving right along.

Uh approval of minutes.

Alderperson Chrisine Thank you, Mayor.

Uh, just a quick note.

Uh, when it comes down to our new selection of District 11 Alder, uh, the first vote uh has uh Mr.

Neach who's in the audience.

I probably said his name wrong.

You have Anderson listed twice.

Uh just to note that I vote was the one vote for that, and uh uh Alder Mike Anderson was for Fetters.

Just uh small correction before we vote go to vote on that.

Is that a motion to approve the minutes with the correction?

I'll make a motion to make approve with the aforementioned changes, and I will email uh the clerk as that well.

Alder Person Manion.

I'll second that motion.

Thank you.

Uh and Katie, if you could please make a note of the correction.

Thank you.

Uh please vote when it is before you.

All right, that motion does pass.

Uh, and again, that's going to be with the correction.

So the minutes have been approved.

Are there any items to be removed from consent agenda?

All right, seeing none, uh, our consent agenda has passed.

Uh, under new business, we have review and possible action to declare five city owned properties as surplus land.

Jennifer, I will let you take it away.

Yes.

Um, when there's land that the city owns that they've determined they no longer have a use for, there's several steps that we go through be um as a process for disposing of that land.

This is the very first step, and the very first step is to just simply declare it as surplus land.

And um, this is a statutory process.

It goes through the plan commission and then it comes to the council to be declared surplus.

Um, so tonight what we're talking about is the water utility has identified these sites as um sites they'll no longer need at some point in the future, and um, so that they know that they're going to be decommissioning these sites, and so we put them all together for the plan commission to review and make a recommendation to the council um to declare these surplus.

Then as these sites be are decommissioned and the water utility is fully exited the property, we'll bring them back one by one to have a discussion about how you actually want to dispose of them if you want to lease them or sell them and what what you're looking for on those properties, similar to what we've done down on West Avenue when the council decided to sell that property to Carmen de la Paz for the art studio.

This was that was the same process.

First, we declared it surplus, then it came back and we discussed how we wanted to dispose of the property.

So tonight the action is just declaring these properties um listed here as surplus um city property.

All right.

Are there any comments, questions, motions?

Uh Alder Person Lemke.

I make a motion to uh list all four properties as surplus.

Four or five.

Uh five.

Thank you.

All right, uh Alder Person Camacho.

I'll second.

Thank you.

Are there any other questions?

Uh Alder Person Chris and then Steve, I've got you.

Thank you, Mayor.

I know I was fortunate enough to be on the uh redevelopmental authority for a while, and even know it was four years ago the city was still discussing uh some of the ideas for that property.

So I know Rick is still an active member on that.

I know there was plans and talk about some really neat items for that area.

So I do support it and continue to talk about other good ideas for that property.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Alder Person Vantrieste.

Oh, thank you.

Uh Jennifer, can you tell us what the address is for the uh piece of property, the last one located along Center Road, what the address is.

It doesn't have an address.

Um I can I can show you a map of it if that would be helpful.

Yeah.

Okay, just a moment.

That'd be helpful.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Okay, so um there's the corporate industrial park uh south of the bypass there, and this piece of property center is on center road, um, kind of backs up to that corporate industrial park.

It's a piece of property that um the water utility owns.

They uh we purchased it for their use, but um they never did actually build a facility on there, so it is vacant.

But what you can't see in this picture is there's quite a bit of grade, I believe, coming down from center road.

So it's also not the easiest parcel to deal with, but that's the parcel.

Is this uh south of uh the bypass that?

Yes, okay.

Thank you.

Great.

We do have a motion and a second.

Are there any other comments before we vote?

Uh Alder Person Lumpke.

Uh I'm just uh against leasing any city property.

I don't think that works best for us.

So while I respect the opinion of the member in the Lisa Solb, I don't think we should get into the leasing business.

We should leave that for private enterprises.

And I think the best use of this property is to find someone who can redevelop it to its possible uh greatness and get it back on the tax rolls.

Thank you.

Great, and just as a note to what Jennifer said earlier, this is specifically a vote on declaring the surplus property, not what we're gonna do with the property.

So that comment we can uh remember for later.

So are there any other comments before we vote?

All right, please vote when it is before you emkey.

All right, that motion does pass 15 to zero.

Thank you very much, Jennifer.

Uh next up we have um the 2027 CDBG allocation resolution.

Uh Jeff, do you want to take it away?

Yeah, um, for some of the new aldermen, the um just to kind of go over a little bit of the background of this.

Uh the city of Waukeshaw is considered a HUD uh C D BG entitlement community, meaning we get a certain allocation of community development block funds, block grant funds every year to use for specific purposes that meet all their criteria, and it's based on our population.

So every year we have a citizen advisory committee made up of citizens and two alder aldermen to um review applications, and these are only um through city departments um applications for the use of those money, those monies.

Um, and this would be for 2027.

So this year they met um last month, and we're expected that the allocation for next year is gonna be around 233,000 dollars, a little bit over that.

Um, and of that money, they kind of put it in two pots.

One is um the um facilities, housing, and economic development, and that's 85% of that money.

You can't go any higher than that, and then the remaining um 15% can go into programs, like specific programs that the city does.

So I guess some um in your uh cover sheet and packet was a detailed list of all the applications, um, some highlights for what the committee recommended that the council approve, and again they make a recommendation the council approves the allocation.

Um traditionally funded programs, including the landmarks commission paint repair grant, which helps people that live in historic um districts or homes to with uh to help them with repairs to the exterior of their building.

Um those go through the landmarks commission.

Um also public art fund, which we used to purchase public art throughout the city, and then uh we brought back downtown and central city wayfinding to replace some of the um wayfinding signs and to install wayfinding downtown banners and other uh elements like that in areas that maybe hadn't had them yet.

Um, in addition to that, there's um the Buckner Park um ADA and playground surface project.

We should be putting the resilient replacing the resilient surface at um Buckner Park at the playground there, and then improving accessibility to that.

And then the other one is Grandview Grandview Boulevard.

Um there's an there's a crosswalk there right now, and it's had some issues.

It's very old and um sometimes doesn't work properly.

So some of the uh the the C D BG board recommended uh sixty-five thousand dollars go to a new um ADA crosswalk there, and that will connect the neighborhood to the west across the street into Grandview Park, and Grandview is very um busy street, and this is kind of a mid-block crossing that'll have on flashing lights and stuff, so it'll definitely improve pedestrian safety in the area.

Then moving on to programs, these all typically come through parks, the recreation and forestry.

It'll just be fun helping to fund certain positions, including a senior activity coordinator, an adaptive adaptive education specialist, as well as to run the um Buckner or maybe Horeb Swim Park and Play program, which um is kind of a summer program that gets um kids from low to modern income neighborhoods to come to the park, um, do different activities, learn how to swim.

Um so it's a really successful program.

So those are the three things that um the board recommended for program funds.

So I guess I'll take any questions on that.

Are there any questions?

Uh Alderperson Pantry SD.

Hey Joe, uh origin of this uh grant money, where does that come from?

Comes from the federal government uh through the housing and urban development department.

Uh they're created several decades ago, and the idea is to help communities of certain populations with things like um improving housing stock, um creating economic opportunities in low-to-mode income areas, and a lot of these programs we're doing are targeted towards those areas like Buckner Park itself and um and actually Grandview Park are not in an actual LMI area, but they're right adjacent, like across the street, so it's serving that neighborhood.

So really that's and then the downtown a lot of these programs are um around downtown, and then other things like housing that can be citywide.

So which side of the which bucket does that come out of the 85%?

So those will be 85 all the facilities, housing and economic development programs that would be the the Buckner, um, the crosswalk, landmarks, paint repair grant, public art, and um wave funding that falls under the facilities, and then the programs is more like an actual you're not actually building anything, you're just you're having a programming that's gonna benefit um LMI neighborhoods, loan out income neighborhoods.

So the 15% is our discretion, how we want to spend it.

Yes.

Okay.

And typically that almost all those funds are always usually only requested by parks because they run these programs for the city.

Okay, thanks, Joe.

Alder Person Piper.

I'll make a motion to approve the 2027 or 2020, yeah, excuse me, 2027 CDBG allocation as presented.

Uh Alder Person Helgastad.

Second.

All right.

Are there any other comments?

Uh Alder Person Camacho.

I had to raise my hand a little higher.

Um I just wanted to let the council know as part of this uh committee, and one of the things that we did when we went through this in discussion was that this was the most balanced way, so balanced way of um um dispersing the funds.

So um I'm very in favor of doing this in this way so that we can uh blanket as many different programs and and other things that we need for the city.

Thank you.

Alder Person Piper.

And I just would like to add quickly that Grandview Park is in my district, it's the only park that I have in the fighting fourth.

And um speed has been a challenge for my time for all 20 years on Grandview Boulevard, and Tim Neckich, who was an alderman before me is nodding his head, and we've done a lot of various mitigations uh to control speed, and having this crosswalk upgraded and maintained is gonna be very important to the neighbors, especially to the west and the west town neighborhood.

Uh and unfortunately, about three weeks ago we had a kid get hit um at that crosswalk uh by someone who apparently was not paying too much attention.

Um thankfully they're gonna make a full recovery.

Uh, but this request is very timely, and I certainly ask for your support.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are there any other comments?

Uh Alder Person Everett.

The money that's gonna be out of turn on your mic, please.

The money that is going to be allotted for all this.

Yep.

That that's all the city taxpayer doesn't have to pay for any of that.

It's all federal money.

So it's federal money that comes into the city, yes.

And there's no, you know, there's not any city budget impact on this because it's all coming in from the federal government.

And it's it's managed through Waukeshaw County.

We have an agreement with them, program agreement with them where they do all the admin with HUD, and then we just end up getting the money and we just deal with them.

So any other comments?

All right, we do have a motion and a second to approve the 2027 allocation resolution.

Please vote when it is before you.

All right, that motion does pass 15 to zero.

Uh, next up we have reports, uh, transit commission report.

Alex All items were on consent tonight.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Keeping it easy.

All right, water utility commission.

Um, you weren't at our meeting.

I was unable to attend, so I have no official report unless you do, Madam Mayor.

Um we we had a meeting.

Um, we were in closed session for most of it, so I can't say a whole lot, but exciting things are happening.

End of report.

All right.

Next up, uh, IT board, Alderperson Manion.

Our June meeting, which was scheduled for tomorrow night has been canceled.

You're free to attend the landmarks commission meeting instead.

End of report.

Speaking of landmarks, landmarks commission, Alderperson Chris.

Thank you.

I'm quite confident uh the gallery will be triple in attendance tomorrow.

Uh we do meet tomorrow night, and uh give a report at our next common council meeting.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Redevelopment authority report, Alderperson Lemke.

No meeting, no report.

Our next meeting is the third Monday.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Parks recreation and forestry.

Alder Person Wells.

No meeting.

Pools open June 6th.

Yeah, pools are opening.

All right, library board report, Alder Person Helgested.

Thank you.

Uh our June meeting also has been canceled.

The next uh library board meeting will be July 9th at 445.

And everyone should sign up for the summer reading program.

All right, cemetery commission report, Alder Person Chris.

Thank you, Mayor.

Our next meeting is coming up, and I'll give a uh follow-up report at the next common council meeting.

Thank you.

Waukesha Housing Authority, Alder Person Piper.

No report this evening.

Uh community development block grant, Jennifer.

No additional items.

Thank you.

Public art committee, Alderperson Molson.

I see that there's new public art out there, so uh please take a look at it and we will present it at some point.

Excellent.

Plan commission.

Uh Jennifer, anything?

Everything was on consent.

Great.

Um finance committee, Alderperson Piper.

No report um other than Tony made a mention in his weekly update that budget season has now started and we'll have dates out for uh the finance committee and the council as it relates to budget review schedule for the finance committee, and most notably uh when we're gonna get the show and tell scheduled.

So more to come on that.

End of report.

All right, building and grounds report, Alderperson Molson.

No report.

All right, uh ordinance and licensing committee report.

Uh first up we have revisions to municipal code chapter nine, and Brian, you are going to say something on this one.

Yes, thank you.

Uh this would be the third reading of these proposed changes to chapter nine, and uh that would make it eligible for passage tonight.

However, I did not get an actual ordinance form attached to the agenda before the publication deadline.

So we do not have the actual ordinance form with the final form of the language, and it's preferable to have that to have it attached to the agenda for legislative history purposes.

So I would suggest that we hold off until the next meeting.

We'll go four readings on this one so that I can then uh make the deadline the next time and get the actual ordinance form before you.

Um I would note too that there were no uh inquiries, there were no comments, questions, anything about this.

So I led to believe that everybody's okay with the proposed changes, but if you have anything, please feel free to get in touch with me.

And Brian, are you looking for a motion to hold this over or just take no action today?

I think you just don't take any action today.

Excellent.

Does anybody have any questions while we're on this item since we are not going to take action today?

No.

All right.

Moving right along.

If you do have any additional questions or inquiries um before our next meeting, please reach out to Brian.

Uh next up, we have the Cobblestone Hotel and Suites and Wasoda Chop House Liquor License Application.

Paul, you got this one.

Uh yep, I believe this was just it was just a timing issue around uh when we had ONL in the and the council meeting.

So um I did speak with um Katie beforehand.

There are no concerns or permits to be gotten for them.

So I will make a motion to approve the liquor license for Cobblestone Hotel and Suites and Wesoda Stop Shop to Wisoda Chop House and uh ask every a second and uh to support it.

Uh Alderperson Halgastan.

Second.

All right.

Are there any comments, questions?

All right, then we do have a motion and a second to approve the liquor license for Cobblestone Hotel and Suites and Wesota Chop House.

Please vote when it is before you.

All right, that motion does pass, 15 to 0.

Uh next up, human resources committee report.

Alderperson Anderson.

All items on consent.

Excellent.

Board of Public Works.

Alex.

Good evening.

Uh we have two bids tonight to review.

Uh the first one would be uh was received on May 8th for the 2026 sanitary sewer lining and relay project.

Uh this project is on Burr Oak Drive.

The Board of Public Works recommended moving forward with a little bit from Super Excavators.

The amount of 398,821 dollars to be awarded.

Alder Person Piper?

So moved.

Alder Person Witeska?

Second.

Any discussion?

All right.

Please vote when it is before you.

That motion does pass.

15 to 0.

All right, thank you.

The next bid is for the Prairie Park and Banting Park Facility Upgrades project.

The board public works recommended moving forward with a little bit from Will Surge Electric and the amount of $713,574 and 40 cents.

Alder Person Piper?

So moved.

Alder Person Witesca.

Second.

All right.

Any discussion?

Alder Person Vantrieste.

Alex, can you tell us can you break it down just uh, you know, not to the finite level, but tell us what that $113,000 is buying for for the city.

Um for the two parks in question here, the Prairie Park and the Banting Park, it's uh resurfacing the pavement on the uh the the courts as well as fencing on those parks.

That's the majority of that those projects.

No upgrades on lighting or um yes, they're all lighting, so bases is part of that as well.

Um so those lighting upgrades are the actual lights are gonna be purchased separate but installed with this contract.

Does that also include uh the the uh full new stuff under new playground equipment?

New bases in that this does not include anything with the playgrounds.

This is the courts.

Yeah, if anybody wants to look at the plan said, I can show you that after the meeting, but it's the the courts.

Okay, the payment alder person piper.

There's also for the council and the public, there's a very detailed breakdown um as part of the agenda item too that walks through every line item, all let's see, 41 line items of the bid, and it also shows the other um individuals that proposed your bid on the project as well.

So correct 41 detailed items, thank you.

Excellent.

Any other discussion?

All right, please vote when it is before you.

All right, that motion does pass, 15 to 0.

Uh Director of Public Works report.

Anything additional?

No other report tonight, thank you.

Excellent.

City attorney's report, Brian.

Anything?

Thank you.

Yes, I want to report to you that in response to uh a lot of reports that we've been getting concerns about e-bikes, e-scooters, other electric powered vehicles on uh sidewalks, um, and uh behaving inappropriately around the city.

We have been studying this, and uh we do intend to bring to the ONL committee next Monday a proposed ordinance that will begin to address the problem.

So we are taking action in response to requests from council members and from the public.

We're working with the police department, and uh we will have a proposal coming up from ONL soon.

Thank you.

I'm sure we're all very excited about that one.

City administrators report, Tony.

Yeah, I just wanted to make the council aware of some recognition that the city has received uh nationally.

Um so the first is from U.S.

News and World Report.

Um, so they have uh what's called a best places list, and for the city, we are ranked as the 87th best place to live in the United States, and in the state of Wisconsin as the number two place to live.

So I think that's uh pretty significant recognition.

Um and then also separately from that, even uh Smart Asset has recognized uh the city as uh the safest place, safest mid-sized city um in the well, here let me look real quickly.

Eighth safest mid-sized city in the United States, and then the safest mid-sized city in the state.

Um so I think that's certainly a recognition uh for the police department, so police officers, dispatchers, uh CSOs, administrative professionals, supervisors, managers, parking agents, and anyone else that I forgot in that list.

Um but truly it is something that I think we all should be proud of and celebrates over in the next couple of weeks.

We'll be uh sending out communications to that effect.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Very exciting.

Um mayor's report.

So I do have uh a couple of board and commission appointments.

Is there a motion to approve of those?

Alderperson Moulton.

I move to approve the uh board and commission appointments as listed in our agenda.

Thank you.

Alderperson Manion.

I'll second.

All right.

Any discussion?

All right.

Please vote when it is before you.

Alderman Lempke, yes.

All right, that motion does pass.

15 to 0.

Next up, we do have one proclamation today.

Uh it is for Pride Month, whereas this nation was founded upon the principles that every person is created equal, that each has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that each shall be accorded the full recognition and protection of law.

And whereas Pride Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the impact and history of LGBTQIA plus individual individuals locally, nationally, and internationally.

And whereas our community is strengthened by the rich diversity of our residents and LGBTQIA plus residents and visitors should feel valued, safe, empowered, and supported by their peers, educators, and community leaders.

And whereas it is essential that our LGBTQIA plus community members be accorded the freedom to be themselves without fear and live free from reprisal, discrimination, or bullying.

And now, therefore, I, Alicia Holbenslavin, the mayor of the city of Waukesha, hereby proclaim June as Pride Month in the city of Waukeshaw and encourage our community to eliminate prejudice wherever it exists, to celebrate our great diversity, and to actively promote the principles of equality, liberty, and justice for all for all.

Thank you.

Are there any referrals?

This is my first one, so bear with me.

I have a referral for ONL to amend an ordinance to extend premises for Maddie's bar.

Down I for events and fundraisers, I'll be emailing Katie about it.

Yeah, if you could um email Katie and I would recommend that you um also copy Brian on that so he can help you with the language.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Uh Alderperson Van Trieste.

Yes, I have a referral uh metal lane.

Uh we've got a handicapped family there, the mother and four of her adopted children.

And we need to uh get signage up there that uh would help uh people slow down on that road.

Uh we do have 25 mile an hour limit uh signs up, but uh going back to what uh uh city attorney running said about e-bikes.

Uh there's quite a few of them over in that area of my district, and uh they're causing a lot of calamity.

So Chief Thompson and I have talked about this, and I I will submit that to uh Katie after the meeting.

Thank you.

I'm assuming that's for building and grounds.

Yeah, it's signage is what I'm looking for.

Yep, so building and grounds, excellent, thank you.

Uh Alderperson Matthews and then Wells and then Camacho.

Yeah, this one's for uh B and G and have already had conversations with the chief.

Um there's a uh uh referral to do a revamp of a speed study.

Excuse me.

Speed study on River Valley Road in between Les Paul Parkway and River Road.

So you pass it now to BNG.

Thank you, Alderperson Wells.

Another BNG, please consider the installation of cross traffic does not stop to stop signs at Chapman and Spring City Drive.

Thank you.

Alderperson Camacho.

I am also a BNG guy.

Um submitting a referral for a no parking sign on the Evens Street side of Dobbs Street from Moreland to for a hundred feet from Moreland through dot dot.

There I did it.

Okay.

Excellent.

Any other referrals?

There were lots today.

All right, then barring any objections, we are adjourned.
