I am going to call this Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, meeting of the Plan Commission to order. We will start with the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, for roll call, Commissioners Granger and Walner are not able to attend. All other members of the commission are present. Before we get started with the bulk of this meeting, I do understand that we have a lot of people here tonight. I believe that probably many of you are here to speak on one specific issue. While all of you are welcome to speak during the public comment section, which is going to come directly after I give my little spiel here, you are welcome to do so. The item that you wish to speak on, if it is on the agenda, will come up and you will also have an opportunity to speak at that time, which is what I would recommend, because that will be after the presentation that we receive and after the commissioners have an opportunity to ask some of the questions you might already have. With that in mind, I do want to make sure that we are all being respectful of each other. That means no speaking out of turn, no shouting, et cetera. I also ask that you address all comments and questions directly to the commission or to our wonderful city staff members up here, rather than having conversations amongst yourselves. We do recognize that this is stand …

All right, we are going to get started here, so I'm going to call this Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 meeting of the Common Council to order. I'm just going to make a couple of announcements before we do the Pledge of Allegiance here.

And also for any of the alders who would like to pull up the agenda, note that you can pull it up from your email or on the city website. All right, please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

So I just came tonight to provide some context and information about the Jackson Sparks Baseball Park Project Fund, which is part of the proposal to you for a park improvement or athletic complex improvement. So the fund itself was created on April 20th, 2022 to honor Jackson Sparks, who was a youth baseball player killed in the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack. Community members created the fund with the support and coordination of Waukesha Parks and Rec and the Sparks family. And total raised today is a little more than $165,000. So $165,204,91. There are no fees on this fund, similar to the fund that we held for the victims and for the parade memorial. So there's no ongoing fees that are coming off of that. There have been 91 total donors. And some major donor lists, thos …

Good evening, everybody. This is September 2nd, 2026. We are the Landmarks Commission. This is the City of Waukesha, and I'd like to call this meeting to order. I'll start with a roll call to my left with Marty. Marty Larson. Linda Gordo. Andrea Dantes. Carmen De La Paz. Mike Christine. Matt Ratzak. Tony Lanza. Perfect. And we're going to move on to public comment. And go ahead. We're going to get a public comment for the Springs Committee. If you could state your address and your name, please, for the record. Bob Salb, 434 Madison Street. I'm going to say the Springs Committee seems defunct, but just bringing up as far as the Springs, I didn't see anything and any notifications of any fall- spring cleanup. I know there wasn't a Springs cleanup, and menisca is in very much disrepair. Finally, after hip revision surgery, I was able to go down there and see what it looked like. There's trees across the pathway. There's sludge down at the bottom of the spring. And so it would require a volunteer time to clean it up. And so more posing the question, if there's not going to be a sanctioned Landmark Springs fall cleanup that I would arrange to get volunteers to get that cleaned up. So I don't know if that's something I have to get permission from. Sign waivers. I know I've done a lot of stuff myself over the years, but I'd probably get a volunteer base using social media that I'm using called Spring Keepers to keep up on stuff like that and keep advocacy for historical knowledge ba …

Second from Alderman Camacho. Any further discussion? Great. We'll take that to a vote. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? And that passes unanimously. Okay. Moving on to discussion decision items. We have review and possible action on recommendation to the Finance Committee to propose 2027 through 2031 Executive Community Investment Program, also known as CIP, budget for the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department. Okay. That's a lot up there. Okay. A few things before we get into it is the timing of the meeting was based on the budget book. So we felt it made sense to delay the PRF board meeting. The budget book didn't come out until late that Friday when our regular Monday meeting would have been. So at least this time, this way you had a chance to at least look through the budget book and the items in there. Number two is the first meeting of finance, which is typically not a whole lot of, we …

All right, let's call the August 31st meeting of the Build ings Grounds Committee to order. Will you join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, individual, with liberty and justice for all. We do have a quorum this evening. I have Alderman Helgestad, myself, Alderman Miklitz, and Alderman Everett with us today. I see no members of the public, so we will move on from public comment. May I get a motion for approval of the minutes? So moved. That's moved by Alderman Helgestad. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. That is approved unanimously. Okay. Thank you. Next up, we have ID 3965, review and possible action on establishing a no-parking zone on the north side of Doppe Street from South Moreland Boulevard to 100 feet east of South Moreland Boulevard. Darren? All right. So this is the item from our last meeting. This was brought forward by Alderman Camacho within his district, and I had a chance to speak with him about this and just to give a perspective of where the area is. So there is Moreland Boulevard running north-south, and then at the top of the page is Madison Street running east- west, and St. Paul running northeast to the southwest. So Doppe Street right in the middle there, surrounded in the red box. So in speaking with Alderman Camacho, there seems to be a bit of an issue with vehicles …

All right, it is 6 o'clock. We'll call the Tuesday, August 25, 2026 meeting of the Finance Committee to order. We have a committee this evening. Next item on our agenda is the P ledge of Allegiance. Please die. I pledge allegiance. Next item on the agenda is public comment. Is there any members of the public commission to redress the Finance Committee this evening? We'll move on to item number 4A, which is approval of minutes for the 14th of July. Any changes to those minutes from the committee? All right, seeing none of those minutes are approved through unanimous consent. That'll move us into our business items. First of all, I want to welcome everyone to the kickoff of the 2027 budget season. I see a lot of members of the council here this evening. Thank you for coming. And a lot of members of the management team and staff that pulled our show and tell together tonight. So the run of show for the committee is I want to remind everybody that we're always on. So we do have kind of a hot mic situation up here at the front table. And as you do speak, if you just enunciate a little bit so Anthony and Patricia can pick us up on the camera. We've got a couple of regular business items and then we're going to wrap up with a review of the fleet that's in the city garage. And we will adjourn the meeting from the city garage. So we will not be reconvening back in this room once we move on to 5D, which is the show and tell. So with that, we'll move to item number 5A, which is a matter …

It recommended for Council approval a resolution directing the board to prepare plans and specifications for City Hall Monument Sign Rehabilitation, and recommended for Council consent Amendment No. 1 with McMahon Associates, Inc. for the 2025 Stormwater Facility Vegetation Management Contract and Contract Change Order No. 1 with All-Ways, Inc. for the Horeb Springs Retaining Wall Improvements project. All votes were 4-0, with member Steve Kassens absent.

I know it's listed as two, but we have an award to present to Megan Magrits, one of our dispatchers. So if you want to come up here and we'll take pictures after. Where would I stand, ma'am? If you want to maybe speak into the microphone so that way everyone can hear it. Sure. I don't think we have a portable mic. So the VFW, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Organization of the city of Waukesha, nominated or got a nomination to put Megan in for dispatcher of the year. We originally thought that this nomination was going to be a city-level award, maybe even the state level at the VFW. And what ended up happening was it went all the way to national and won the national dispatcher award. So congratulations.

So, yeah, like I said, it's been a while since we've met. So, yeah. These are the loan and grant numbers. Not a lot have changed. The storefront activation loan. We had a full payoff of a loan. We continue to get monthly payments. So that one's starting to build up again. We have some interest in quite a few businesses downtown to maybe tap into that. A guy who just applied who just bought the Metropolitan Building is looking to do some upgrades. So he applied. He's coming to sign his paperwork yet. So it continues to be a pretty popular program. The housing, the Hodega rental rehab grant hasn't really seen much change. The rehab program continu …

Okay. Okay, I'm ready. Good evening. Today is Tuesday, August 4th. I'd like to call the Public Arts Committee meeting to order. I see for a roll call we have an entire committee except for Gwenda. And I don't see any members of the public. So we'll move forward to approval of minutes. Is there someone that would approve the minutes for June 16th? So moved.

And third was Molly Keene with a structural... design. Kind of more of a sculpture. And since that meeting, we have spoken with the property owner at Thomas Press, and he expressed that he's really interested in seeing the historical motif on his building. So we spoke a few more times with James Baraney, who proposed this design. And in those conversations, we... We've had a few clarifications from the building owner, as …
