Thank you, Council President. I am pleased to see all of you. Welcome back. This is my report for July 27, 2026. We are fighting the struggle between Clark High School, Gavit High School, and School City, Hammond and Civil City, so that we can seize these buildings, destroy them, destroy them, and move forward in our lives. I have good news about Gavit. I mean, we are moving forward on Gavit Clark. We are still waiting. Councilman Mark, but we are working on it. We are moving forward. I feel satisfied. We have a compromise between School City Hammond and Purdue Northwest regarding the use of the East Gavit High School football field. So they are not talking about the building. They are talking about the area behind the building. Purdue wants to expand its game program. They want to use those fields. They have been talking about this for years. Through education, our action has inspired Purdue and School City Hammond to come together. To tell you the truth, he has invited School City Hammond to come together. Purdue has always thanked him. He is with this wealth. To find opportunities to move forward, he has signed an agreement for the next year. I think this is very good news. I am clearly a supporter of the expansion of Purdue in the whole city. He has expanded to the second district, downtown Hammond. Whether it is in the fifth or sixth district. Is there a place? No. No. I think there are five districts in Hammond. I think in the sixth district as well. It's a bit of an influence, but in general, when Purdue Northways owns the property, it does a very good job. And I support their continuous development. So I think I'm thinking of going to the fourth district in this matter as well. You don't have to do that. No problem. I just keep quiet.
Um, this is a suggestion for the Festival of the Legs.
We used to reach the Festival of the Legs. We had a freestyle night on Wednesday. Anyway, other than golf outings, car shows and P.A. Fest, in which I took part in all those things, 5K and whatever it is, special person's day, fishing, derby, those things that keep going on for a week, we also have a main attraction. And we registered our presence with the help of Hammond Police Department. They have the ability to count people and 9000 people joined the freestyle night. This is the first time we have done this. This is a low-cost option that gives us a good option for Wednesday night. I think in most cases we have kept the same level. When you count this fact that the beer garden earned 40-60 dollars that night, our night was very good. On that day, we had 700 people in the park. This is a concert. If we had kept a free show like other things, it would have been 25 to 50 thousand. But we decided to keep it because it is a concert. Because it is a concert.
It is really good in terms of Rajasthu. We sold tickets for about 8 thousand dollars.
17 thousand dollars in a single beer garden. So our night was good with Jelly Roll. It was our best night. As far as the money we earned. And that's because we won the Bima Lottery that night. After 5 o'clock, it rained 35 inches. I was dancing in Robertdale in the rain. I was very happy for our city. So we got our money for that night's event. Also, the festival of flex was held. The situation is absolutely right. Offering did a great show that night. We spent $50,000 in the beer garden and $30,000 in the parking lot. It was a very good night. I like rain during the Festival of the Lake especially if we can complete the program. So on Monday, we will talk about this. When we complete this, it was very messy. I talked. First of all, for that show, 17,000 people had come. We did a very good performance, as you can imagine, when 17,000 people come. Although due to the high crowd, some people could not come in. These are all free shows. That night was a free show. I was talking about Cave-in-Gates and Moneybagg Yo a little while ago. In Festival X, we are used to inviting bands who are not famous these days, but these artists are still very famous. And we saw a huge crowd there. This is a free show. And in many cases, as I had talked to Councilwoman Alexander, by paying money, we could not enter the customer because we had stopped because of the free audience. Which is a risk of organizing a free show. We handled the situation. That night we had difficulties because it rained the night before. We lost a deal out card. This is our biggest loss. So we lost a deal out card. Our show was very big. More people came than we expected and that night we fell completely. We have done a very good job in Rajesh's case and this week we have taken a decision. We have sat with the team of Festival of Lex. Many people like Councilwoman Alexander could not come to the show and it is absolutely wrong that they paid for the ticket and parking but still could not go inside. So we have decided to refund all of them who can prove that they bought the ticket but could not go to the show. So if your ticket is not scanned, if your parking ticket is not scanned, then we have started giving refunds to those people. I know that Council Women are our supporters. I apologize to them. Unfortunately, there are many more Council Women in this situation like you. So we have started the process of giving refunds this week. We have not issued a press request for this, because if we do so, thousands of people would start applying and we would be troubled to check them. We thought that those who had come and affected us, they had already contacted us. So if you can prove it to us and you have not yet contacted the City Hall, we will give you a refund, provided that your parking or show ticket has not been scanned. On Sunday, we had more people, but on Sunday, D.O.T. was in service and we were able to arrange them. By the way, we will talk about DoT in a while. It was our biggest day. 21,000 people, more than 21,000 people. There were 80,000 people in the beer garden that night. He was also a winner. We did very well in Vasta in Bondorekoto. This was the second time when he performed in Hammond. Compared to the last time, this time he did a very big night. Anyway, the problems we had with DOT are being fixed before next year's festival. We can't do this, especially because we have lost 100,000 high school parking. We don't want to lose DOT. That's why we have to make DOT serviceable in the rain. And we are working on it. We won't fix it because it's a park. But we will work on some ideas so that we can park even in the rain. That night was the main problem. So I apologize to Councilman Mark. We had a lot of people parking in the neighborhood. And you know, we fight with him. We fight with him. It was a bad night. I agree with my situation. There was a lot of crowd. Many people were parking in the middle of the road. They just tried to come in. And we learn a lot every year. We run it. And we will fix it next year. And we will improve it. Improve it. So, Umke, do you have any questions? Councilwoman, I know that we talked about it that night.
Apart from one thing, you did not tell the number of people present for the off-spring night. You did tell the number, but not the number of people present.
Nila Rahas. Thank you. For Bond and Ricotto, 21,300. For Moneybaggios, about 17,000. Bill Gates.
I had those numbers, but only one thing you didn't tell me. You only told me about the garden and other things. But my question is that maybe for the next two years, with beers, before everything happens, we should stop at R and B. Maybe Fantasia or Boyz II Men, like think about someone so that that crowd can be brought. Because we know that when we bring rap, it brings a different viewer. We had a lot of people. I mean, just the experience of driving a car on the road from the hotel. It took an hour and a half to drive to the 139th. People were really going out and the police did a very good job. I want to give them credit for it. It was very crazy. People were going out of their cars and walking in the middle of the road. It was absolutely crazy. But one thing I said, if we change the style, we know that music has a very big impact, so maybe for the next two years we can choose something like R&B, R&B, and the atmosphere can change a little. And as I said, maybe Fantasia or Boyz II Men or something like that for older audiences so that some problems can be fixed that night.
I agree with you and we present all kinds of music. We don't rap every year like we did last year. We are not alone and we didn't have any such problem. But at that time, the crowd was very less. That's why sometimes the crowd is too much. There was a lot of crowd at night.
And you know why it took you an hour and a half to come from the hotel. I don't deny it.
I took time to reach Avenue because the parking lot was full. And I was thinking where to park all these cars.
And I spoke to some officials on the road and they said that the road is closed. And the second suggestion was that in such a situation, the council members should get a special pass. Or there should be a parking facility for them so that they can come in and maintain support, monitor and update. You know this.
Anyway, you people get a project pass because you are a project, but we could never bring the project inside because the crowd had stopped the road. But we will work with you and I will give you suggestions. Councilwoman? Is there any other question about this? I haven't even started my report yet. I mean, there's not much. Because most of the time was spent in the Festival of the Lex. To discuss the summer schedule of the last two weeks, Townsend 96 Festival of the Lex, I joined Tom Dabbitton in the WJB Morning Show. On the possibility of expanding the Chicago Bears stadium to Hammond, NBC Channel 5's Marion was interviewed for the latest update. Before the start of the day, I talked to all the employees of the Festival of the Lakes. I do this every year. I remind them that 1000 people are going to come here. We have to treat them well. We have to make it like Disneyland. We repeat the Disneyland thing every year. So I joined the festival in the middle of the potage in Poon Dabsi Aayog in Indiana. It was very difficult. But I went there because we had to represent Hammond. Chicago Beers' podcast, Wags in the Stand, was included, in which the possibility of Beers coming to Hammond was newly updated. The engineering firm lunched with the officials of American Structure Point, in which many of their projects were discussed throughout the city of Hammond. On Saturday night, there was a discussion about the complaints related to the show, in which due to the heavy crowd, there was a problem of people not being able to enter the venue. There we decided that those people who can prove that they could not go inside, like Councilwoman, they will be given a refund. After this, I took part in the Summer Concert Series and watched the performance of Chicago's 2nd Hand News, which is Fleetwood Mac's cover band. I want to remind people that every Saturday night in the Pavilion, our Summer Concert Series is going on. I forgot who is going to play on Saturday, but every Saturday night, a great band comes and this week, to listen to the second-hand news, about 500 people came. This is absolutely free. You can bring your food and your drink with you. So let me remind you, this is a matter of quality of life. You can go there for free every week in the summer and enjoy the pavilion. So that's all I have, Councilwoman, until you have any questions.
Councilman, thank you.
You are right. Ever since we started this, I remember that this was the biggest crowd so far. This was a very good crowd. I know. Um. Something new in the relationship of data center property. No, to tell you the truth.
I think that the data center was surprised that what we had said, we remained on it. We said that if we don't have an answer by 1st July, we won't talk about it. And 1st July came and I didn't talk to them. I had clashed with one of Daniel's chiefs. We talked, although he didn't talk about it. We were just good to each other. We met, but I haven't heard anything from the Councilman from the first date of the month. I have received an update on what is happening with Indiana Rajas and beers. Things are still moving forward. There is a lot of testing going on in our city. Testing is a good thing, but it takes a little time in the end. So I knew that when we started this new challenge, it would take us some time. This is what we are dealing with right now. And Chicago media still wants to talk about it. But there's not much to talk about right now. The peers have all the doors, you know. And they are doing a lot of testing in our city. And I can tell you that they are very focused. Every lawyer, every lawyer is focused on Hammond. They are not working on Arlington Heights. They are not working on Chicago. They are working on Hammond. All lawyers, engineers, lawyers, PR team are working on Hammond. They are working for Hammond. They are doing Hammond's operation. So I know that we hear a lot from Chicago media like Oh, this is a new city that will get a beer stadium. No, it's not like that. No, it's not like that. Because they have the same problem that Arlington Heights has, the same problem that Chicago has. Illinois can't afford it. This is their problem. So when they bring up strange things, it feels like, oh, Macko wants to present it to someone. Oh, about this place. I'll just ignore it. Mr. Hamman may be as cool, which I hear, is a dilemma, but the on can't get it directly. Yeah, I'm just a piece of a car or what he can't come to me that keep. But just a key. So the poor, I can say, or I'm supposed to have a judgment. I'm just like, okay, which is. So. We are personal.
Madam president. What I didn't say in the second part was a suggestion for the team. They always did a very good job, from the police to the fire department. I mean, just look at the police and the fire department. During those nights, when people were worried about the heat and other things, they did a wonderful job. So I just want to ensure that the people in the parking lot get their suggestion. Because during those nights, this is a lot of work for them. Umar and many of them came to work in the festival after their regular shift. So congratulations to all those who worked for the programme.
Three. It took hundreds of hours during the week.
It was definitely difficult. Ali did a very good job.
No, I don't approve of it. I know that those who couldn't come in, they were humiliated. This is very bad. You know that we don't want this to happen. But then Councilman Mark said that this was one of the biggest nights of his memories. Let me tell you the truth. And Akhil doesn't ask about what I saw. This was madness. This was even bigger than that. This was more than numbers. This was madness.
It was just the number inside.
Yes, it was the number inside. The number outside was also very big.
You are crazy.
I agree with you, counsel. It was one of the most memorable nights for the police. This reminds me of the loss of Canada, Tizana, which is our biggest night so far. It reminded me of that Friday night. So I apologize to those who couldn't come inside. If you have paid for VIP, you will get a refund. If you have paid for parking and not used it, you will get a refund. Okay. We are not getting involved in this matter. The police is not here to rob you. Its purpose is to take out expenses. That's why I think we have done this for this year, which is a very good thing.
Mayor. Yes, sir. I'm a little hesitant to say this, but I'm...
But I'm a jailer. I knew you were talking about jail. I know a lot about my son's lifestyle. I know a lot of people and families who struggle. And the personal reaction I got, and I saw the people there who were in pain, and I saw the tears in their eyes,
Many people have told me to thank you for bringing him to Hammond.
He was a good man. Very good. He had gone. I know that he was covered a little. But sometimes people don't read newspapers. You know Jelly Roll spent that day in Hammond. He got off at Gairi Hawa Yadda. He drove for Sportslex. His entire team played basketball for about three hours in Sportslex. And there he took pictures with the people present. I know. You know Sportslex staff and all that. Then he came on the show and he was like a hero. This is really very good. I have never been to a jailer's role show. He was actually a very good person. He got a tattoo made by a tattoo artist from Hammond. He ate Greek food from Hammond's restaurant. And then that tattooed woman... I mean he got a tattoo made in our city.
He is the only artist whom I have ever seen driving my own car.
Show me. And he had the best police escort so far. And when he got out of the car, he did a tip-nay. He had the best police escort so far, where the police were walking in front of him. But he really thought that the way Hammond behaved with him was the best. That's a great idea, Dave. I agree.
Only the people who were quiet, who I saw there, and the reaction I got from them, they really appreciated the show. Dev, I would like to mention this and thank you for reminding me of that night.
There was a lot of concern about that night. It was a big band for us. This is our biggest band so far. I would say that the biggest program so far, And because of that, many of the big executives of the company came there, who do all these show books. And on that day, there was a big work in Darshak. He saw how we were handling backstage things and how happy Zally Roll was with everything. This is a big thing. This is like passing an exam. So, you know Festival X, if we keep doing good work, we can continue to do such show books. So, thankfully, he was not there on Saturday night. Does anyone else have any other questions? I know I have taken too much time. I am sorry. Anyone else? Thank you for everything. I am grateful. I couldn't do this alone. This is not a person's job. I have seen many cities where the council and the mayor don't get along. I have seen many cities that can't move forward because the council and the mayor keep fighting. So whatever we are celebrating in Hammond is because of you people. I can't do all this alone. That's why I take care of all the work done by the council and you people who have taken us to this point. We are in a good situation now. Thank you all. Your council meeting is good. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, Mayor. Let's move towards the implementation of the project.
I request that we accept the project and keep it in record, please.
I request, Councilman Selena, through whom we can... Councilman Emerson. Any discussion? Any discussion? Any discussion? All parties? Vipaksh mein. Prasta paaret hua. Nav paksh mein, shunni vipaksh mein. Tawon ke anumodhan ki aur badhate hain.

Madam President.
Yes, Councilman.
There is nothing more than taking money from the Adhyadesh Gaming Fund in 2026. For example, if you invest money in a program that is going on in the parks and it is not fully spent in 2025, then it will move forward in 2026 and it will also move forward in the new year. Thank you.

Presentation completed. On the 9th page, on the 0th page, Adhyaksh Veneji, this is the end of the introduction of Adhyadeshas. Thank you, Atlar. We are moving towards our goals. There is no new and incomplete work. Adhyaksh Mahudaya. Yes, Parshad. Before this, you have picked up the letter of Mr. Aguilera in chapter 4, which we all have received. To present it. In the form of an avlokan, Parshad Rikoz and I are working with Sounds of Sara. This is an organization that... ...attracts attention to saving lives and... I don't know the word, but this is through Narakan. And... ...for the construction of any city or town, Sounds of Sara, Narakan donates on a box. who want to use it. As far as vending machines are concerned, I know that Barton Pizza is one, but it is the employer's job to get it installed. If this is understood, like. Thank you. I know that there is a Narcon vending machine in front of the Griffith Fire Department. And you can do this. This is free for the public. Or we can get this Narcan box through Sounds of Sera. So I just wanted to make it clear that this. Just to say that we need a vending machine is not that easy. Because if you are a business or organization that they want, then you will have to go through a process. And there is a lot of pressure on them. Whereas the option is that, and I don't know, do schools take NARC inboxes? But I know that all the cities and towns have to get these boxes. Are there characters? There are. And as I said, Councilman Ricoz and I are working with Assounds of Sera so that he gets one. It can be adopted for the coming time, as you know. For the rest of the year, it takes some work.
Yes, this.
I am working with Patty Stovall, who runs Sounds of Sarah. This is her daughter, who passed away. And I hope that this has made it clear that it is not that we are neglecting vending machines. It is just a more complicated process. You actually have to convince the owners of the business to get a machine, to apply for a donation, or to buy a direct machine. And to fill it, every time, it costs about $5,500 to fill the machine. And, an ideal world has a lot of businesses. They will want it, but there are also problems with that program. Thank you. Thank you. Any other new and incomplete work? Any other new and incomplete work? Any other new and incomplete work? New and incomplete work is now over. A special zoning action was adopted under the Indian Code 36. There is nothing for the explanation of Sarvijani. He is taking a poll. I will try my best to complete it. And to clarify, Councilman Whirlpool, sorry to interrupt you from our conversation that day. Today's program that I have put forward is actually a great initiative for the Welcome Home Veterans Program. Are you okay with that? But I would like to talk more about this. Anyway, I will pick it up later. There is a program that actually allows the fire department to apply for the first representative organization, Nox Box or Narcan, for vending machines. The fire department can do this. I don't believe that the city needs a constitution. This should be a proposal. But we will see it in a moment.
I am taking a lot of my time.
which is in your inbox and also in the inbox of the council and which I have already shared with some of you, that is Welcome Home Veterans Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance, Ordinance This is a simple way to encourage former soldiers to come to Hammond. In particular, in the city of Hammond, with the initiative to promote development, such as recently built in Harrison Park and auctioned new housing lot, Clark Sports Field and such. The United States was so popular in Illinois that many towns and cities adopted it and with time it became the law of the state. I searched everywhere. I did not find any example of it in Indiana. That's why it's a good thing to be there first. For such examples, if we welcome ex-soldiers and thank them for their service, I think this is a great example. I hope that you will agree to this proposal. I hope that you will like it. Someone will make use of it. And it will get your acceptance and support. And it will get your acceptance and support.
No questions. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I don't have anyone else in the list. Is there anyone on the screen who wants to say anything?
