Good evening, Mr. Mayor, members of the council. Doug Gaines, Ward 5. Unfortunately, fraud perpetrated by electronic voting machines, tabulators, and mailin ballots was on full display during the recent primary election. Analysis of the cast vote record obtained by FOYA once again reveals clear algorithmic manipulation and other data anomalies. So, the fix is in before we even get to the general election. This evening, I'll present information from an article by Mark Cook titled the American Citizens Declaration of Independence from Election Manipulation. The article highlights a sophisticated threat to our elections that most people have never heard of, feedback loop predictive modeling. Election security expert Mark Cook calls it exactly that. And once you see how it works, you'll understand why surface level fixes like clean voter roles, IDs, or more observers will never be enough. Here's the threat. Here's the threat in plain English. Bad actors start with a baseline model using decades of historical turnout data, party registration, and past voting patterns. Then they layer on big data pro voter profiling, your GPS locations, credit card purchases, social media posts, and even Amazon purchases. that gives them a ghost ballot predicting with scary accuracy how you will vote. Next comes real-time voter snapshot modeling. Every early mail-in ballot in every electronic pollbook check-in updates the model live. When you vote on a ballot marking device or direct recording uh direct recording electronic machine, the touchscreen already knows your choices before the paper ever prints. The model then tunes the outcome and tells the operatives exactly how many ballots to inject via dropboxes or late mailins. By the time the votes are counted, the result matches the engineered prediction predetermined outcome perfectly. Audits see clean numbers because the fraud happened before the ballots were ever cast. Here in St. Clair County and

Ofall, we use the very systems that feed this loop. early voting, mail-in ballots, dropboxes, and optical scan tabulators. The Illinois election code allows electronic systems and extended voting windows that create the real-time data the model needs. The result, a completely rigged election system where only approved candidates win. When will Americans wake up, face the facts, and demand change? Now, to the declaration. When in the course of human events, a free people must rise and cast off insidious manipulations that corrupt our elections and steal our sacred voice. Decency demands, we declare the causes and the cures that will restore our liberty. We hold these truths self-evident. Every citizen, no matter of circumstance, is endowed by our creator with the right to free, fair, simple, transparent, and verifiable elections. The consent of the govern expressed through the ballot is the sole legitimate source of power. When any system, machine or cabal, domestic or foreign, subverts that consent through fraud, complexity, coercion, secrecy, it is our right and duty to reject that deputism and demand reforms rooted in clarity, local control, and public oversight. The cornerstone of free, the cornerstone of a free republic is handcounted, handmarked paper ballots tallied under the watchful eyes of citizens. No opaque machines or unaccountable public servants stand between the people's will. Yet we have endured relentless pattern of abuses. Voter suppression by algorithms, intimidation and barriers, phantom voters and fraudulent registrations, deliluding our voices, ballot stuffing, harvesting, discarding and alteration, electronic tampering, hacking and malware, delayed or falsified results, foreign and domestic interference, denied access to public records, and unchecked absentee voting. to cover the fraud perpetrated by the machines. At every stage, we have petition petitioned, sued, advocated, and audited only faced with denial, delay, and

dismissal. In the meantime, we have proven simple methods work. Small precincts, public handc counts, transparent records. Yet, corrupted public servants cling to opaque systems unfit for a free people. Therefore, we declare our independence from this corrupted process. The city does not run elections, but you do speak for residents, or at least you should. The council must act now to pass a simple resolution urging St. Clair County Election Authority and the county board to adopt handcounted paper ballots. Help us restore trust, secure our elections, above all, honor the will of the people, send that resolution. Thank you for your time, consideration, and God bless.

Thank you for your comments. Does anyone else want to make public comments at this time? uh verar ward three tonight I'm in to hear in form again and there will be question and answer period for the warrant report tonight of 1,600 1,67,000 $21.3. On looking through your warrant report, I come up with a couple items that I'm interested in and whatever. Anyway, in your Amazon account, you spent $7,000 this past month on several different items. Um, flashlights, rain gear, trash grabbers, pipe wrenches, notebook pads, pencils, erasers, and erasers might be helpful to erase some of the problems. Um, the fieldhouse study, 15,000 for that. Your IT department is some getting some sort of software backup for $24,190. Your Commerce Bank account each month keeps growing for purchases, but it still holds a lot of marketing trips, travel trips, expenses for a national planning conference. um going for some negotiation for employee and engagement conferences,

uh food memberships and whatever. Uh 3812 was paid for some u budget meetings, food, travel, and a conference table. Seems to me I recollect buying another conference table several months ago. So I I'm interested in why you need more than one. Um the parks I mean the public now the parks had some uh 2,000 some odd dollars spent for some sort of an IP training for travel and expenses for a training career fair. You also purchased a piece of ground at 324 West Fifth Street for 89,500 and change. Durk's equipment is hauling away some more of the refuge from the waste treatment plant for 11,642 and change. There's u Gilly Cook Gil Gilly company who is uh worked on the U u FSP parking lot service for 1,00 $17,88. you paid uh some money for um the eighth draw for a contractor, I believe it was Hanks, for on North Cherry Street for 89,321. He had a generator fixed repaired in F down in French Village for 13,500. 13,500 repair generator. Okay. And uh

public works had some work done at their waste treatment plant for $132,920 for upgrading or improving their electrical system there. Uh O'Reilly just spent500 $5,631 for items which you know keeps the city running. I don't have a problem with that. But here's an interesting one. We bought some from a land for for our turf grass. Turf grass or fertilizer seed. You need fertilizer for turf grass. Okay, that's interesting. And I don't understand the maybe you can help me out in regards to the money that you're giving the church to pay. I'm hoping these are not an individual's power bill of 1,500 62 $64 a month. Uh I hope it's more. You got to give the number of families that you're covering for this so you can I can understand how this money is going on. But if you're paying $1,564 for one person's power bill, there's a problem there. I'll have more in the second half. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. Does anyone else wish to make public comments at this time? Seeing none, we will move on to the clerk's report. Mr. Mayor, thank you. I have one item. Uh it's a request from the fallen Kowanas Club to conduct a road block at the intersection of State and Lincoln and State and Smiley on Friday, September 25th, 2026, 4 to 6 p.m. and Saturday uh the 26th of 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. And we need a motion and a second.

Thank you. Motion carries. We do not have any other ordinances for second reading. So, we will move on down the agenda to our second uh addition of public comments. I'm not going to reread the uh instructions I read before the first section, but uh everything still applies. Would anybody like to make public comments at this time? Uh Vermo W three springtime is upon us. It's been almost a year and uh still no white is across from the ice cream shop down there on State Street. I just bringing that to reference cuz you know it even so people get out and get their ice cream. U still letting you know the fact that uh Vince Sins Road and Troy Scott Road is still a dangerous area should be considered something to be done. statistically something will happen. And of course, maybe we can get some paint to fix the streets this year. Um, couple other questions I have. I've um had I don't know if they're from Amron or who they are, but I've had people come around from Amrons claiming they're from Amarind without placards or anything coming on door saying uh they would like to help you shave a penny off your off your power bill. I just want to know what the deal on that is. I've noticed that uh up at the caboose that you cut down the prairie grass in front of there and I don't think that's the right thing to do that. Another question I had is if you know anything

about what's happening down at the old dairy. I've seen some a lot of work and stuff going on there and just wondering if the city knows what's happening in that regard. And then finally, a point. I've been online at a few different other uh cities and looked at their public time for comments. And we're the only one that shows the back of the heads of people. I'm showing you what I look like in the front because they get to see the front end. All you get to see is the back of my head. And I was wondering why that was ever changed because there used to be a podium over there and the camera could pick you up and see the person talking. I think the people need to know what the the people of the public look like instead of looking at the back of their heads. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. Does anyone else wish to make public comments at this time? Seeing none, we will close out and move on to staff and council member comments. We'll start with our sis our city administrator Grant Litkin. One of these days, okay, long list tonight. Thank you everybody that's interested. Um so obviously Amazon purchases we do um a lot of operational things, flashlights, rain gear. Um a lot of uh again some of our field equipment we order from that. Um also mentioned was our commerce statements. Those are our credit cards. And so a lot of the training, travel, conferences, the one mentioned was the IP, that's the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association. So we do send staff to training. Um we do make these purchases on credit cards obviously. Um but anytime staff goes to training, it is in our personal handbook, which was recently updated. They are obligated and required to submit invoices and receipts itemized. And I assure you, even for myself and for Sandy herself, she goes through them all. um she has a lot of questions every time we go to training. So, thank you for that. The fieldhouse study is recently we're in a almost done with the draft. That'll come back to the council here soon as soon as we can button up some loose ends um on some other issues we're going with. We did did purchase 324 West Fifth Street. Um that's an item that was a part of a public works project. We did close on that property last week. That is near the dairy that was also questioned about earlier um on Highway 50. our fire uh department along with a lot of regional uh partners and some police I believe uh were out there training this Saturday. There is a demolition permit given for that and so that building should be coming down in the near future. Um I think it was a very good training. I saw some posts on Facebook that how often they get to train on commercial properties and I believe it was on

channel 4 news as well. Brad White was featured. Um Hanks wrapped up the North Cherry Street project. That's one that's been going on for a long time. Um, it was referred to as Gilly Excavating. That's Jelly Excavating. They're doing a lot of the ground work out at the sports park. U, we did replace the generator, repaired the generator in French Village. This is our pump station that brings water from Illinois American um heading towards Fairview Heights in the river all the way up to Fallon. So, it's a rather large generator and rather large pumps. Um, and so we do maintain that property down there. We did have some emergency purchases at our wastewater treatment plant for the electrical system and some clarifier fixes. I did send that notice to the council a while back on those purchases before they were done. Um the power bill assistance as well as a water bill assistance. This is something the council and the city has done for a number of years. We do not give money specifically to people individuals. Um what we do is we split the costs with nonforprofits that have a vetting process on supplying assistance for utility bills and water bills. Um it's been very successful and I know the council continues to wish that to be budgeted and that is in the budget that was voted on tonight. Um I'm happy to announce that the lighting in downtown on State Street will be a component of the approval or the agenda item tonight approved with oats. I'm looking at the streetscaping on State Street. Uh there are a lot of solicitors and door-to-d dooror salesmen for electrical services. Um the city of Found does have an aggregation uh contract. We do not necessarily give advice on which providers to go to. Uh but do know that the aggregation rate or the Amarin rate are the only ones that are guaranteed to be reviewed by us. Um, and we do kind of caution people, make sure you read the fine or the the language in the contracts because a lot of these

have teaser rates or promo packages that do uh raise in the later years. Um, if you do see solicitors without placards or solicitor license, please call the public safety non-emergency number. We do get a lot of these. We do permit the solicitors. They go through background checks and so please let us know if you see those. And then we talked about Highway 50 and the caboose. We have done a lot of maintenance on all of our wild prairie grass. In fact, if you go out to fire firehouse 4, we did do a controlled burn on a lot of those. And so those are annual maintenance we do every year. With that, mayor, those are my comments.

Thank you. Anybody from the leadership team have anything that they would like to comment on tonight or share? Council, I have two things.

Sure. One, I want to thank Andrea for chairing the meeting last week when I wasn't here. The second thing periodically I'll I'll say the same thing for people who don't know, it may seem like we run through um some of the stuff at city council meetings rather quickly. The meat and potatoes are discussed at the um committee meetings and questions are asked and the city staff does a fantastic job at preparing us for those votes by um the presentation that we get in our board docs which isn't board docs anymore but um the documentation that we get uh ahead of time and I know I'm not the only one but if I have specific questions sometimes I'll send an email and get answers. So there's a lot of communication that goes on that's not here at city council meetings. So if this is the only meeting you tune into, you're it may seem like we're just running through things. We're really not. We we go through them pretty close um or detailed. And so I just want that out there again.

Thank you. Is anybody else? Okay, seeing none, we'll move on to committee reports. We will start with uh community development. Mrs. Lots, please. Um, thank you, Mr. Mayor. We have not met since our last um, council meeting, but we are scheduled to meet a week from tonight, April 13th at 6 PM, but check the website. Sometimes the time changes on that. And then also, planning commission is scheduled for next Tuesday, April 14th at 6 PM. Also, that's all I have. Thank you. Uh, moving on to public works, Mr. Rosenberg.

And the next meeting is, as is every month, the fourth Monday of the month, unless there's a holiday, at 7 p.m. Check the website for uh time changes.

We have a motion and we have a second. Do we have any questions or comments on 16.2? Yes, Mr. Mayor. As an Amron employee, I do consent to all items listed with the exception of the multiple payments to Amron listed on page three. So for this reason, I am abstaining from the vote. Thank you. So motion is second. Roll call, please. Milard, yes. Lots, yes. Carney, yes. Vony, abstain. Roach, yes. Nukem, yes. Hudson, yes. Horse, yes. Gamble, yes. Parchman, yes. Ford, yes.
