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 …

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.

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 …

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 right, I'm going to call this Tuesday, August 18, 2026, City Council meeting to order. We will start with roll call. Alderman Wells is excused. Christine? Here. Everett? Here. Wigderson? Here.

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 I can read this award to you, and then we can do a little round of applause. So the Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW …

There's no one else out there, so we will move on from public comment to approval of minutes. Does anyone have any concerns with either of the attached minutes from June 22nd, 2026? We had a minor correction we needed to make there. Or July 13th, 2026. Any concerns with the agendas? Seeing none, we'll consider both of those approved by unanimous consent. Moving on to bartender applications. First up, we have Chelsea Gorsuch. Look, certainly appears as though Chelsea is not here, so we will hold that license over to the next meeting. Moving on to other applications. Molly, were there any concerns on these applications from the... No concerns from the... No concerns from the clerk's office. Okay.

Thank you. for one of them that's kind of our decision making of instead of two focus on one on the construction side so the the 1,116,800 that we got that's federal money that's going to help that will cover the preliminary review site and does that take us all the way through a through final design of the bridges as well it does yep okay yep all of in including all the environmental document process through the federal level the NEPA process all public involvement preliminary final design basically shovel ready construction documents yep and also included is the benefit to cost full benefit to cost analysis that's going to be required to go after construction raise grant or construction funding at that time so we're basically setting ourselves up a hundred percent to really go after alternative funding so for the board what I remember from conversation at council it was it having the federal dollars to get us to the through the design phase that's great it would still be up to the city or other funding sources to actually build the project and then the council made a really good point it's like okay if we build these we then we have to maintain them and eventually perhaps replace them so there was some conversation at council about you know is is there a need for one or both of these or is there only a need for one So I guess that I wanted to give you guys some perspective on kind of where my line of questioning is coming from So Brandon if we say the council we get through …

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. Okay, so I'll make the motion to approve the minutes, and you can second that. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. So we'll move on. That passes unanimously. We'll move on to new business. We've got item 04097, review of possible action on the final artist selection for the Thomas Press building on Freedman Alley. And we'll pass the meeting to Megan, and she can tell us what she's got. Fantastic. Thank you. Okay, so we will start with the Thomas Press mural. At the last public art meeting, we narrowed down to three finalists, just to remind you who those were. James Baraney with a kind of historical motif across the entirety of the facade. Our second place was Jenna Brown-Lee with a flowers and animal theme. 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 …
