If not, are there any comments or questions from the members of the audience on public hearing number two? All right, seeing none, we will close our second public hearing and we will now move on to section E of our agendas, which is public participation. This is where the common council can receive information from residents on interest to of matters of interest to them. We ask each speaker sign in at the podium and announce their name and address. And we ask that they also limit their comments to one statement of no longer than five minutes. The council cannot take action on topics raised by the speakers and will not go into discussion on the topics. Does anybody wish to address the council under public participation this evening and you're free to use the police department as your address if you so choose.

Good evening everyone. My name is Zachary Scott. Um, I'm the president of the West Alis Police Professional Police Association. Uh, the address is 11301 West Lincoln Avenue. Uh, I've been a police officer for the city of West for the last 21 and a half years. Yesterday, our members voted overwhelming overwhelmingly in favor of ratifying the contract proposal for the years of 2026 through 2029, which is up for a vote by the common council tonight. I am here to sincerely thank the city for recognizing our police officers. I believe the outcome of this contract reflects the sacrifices that our police officers make as well as the important, oftentimes dangerous work that we perform on a daily basis. When we started the negotiations, it was important to our union board to resolve them in a timely manner. The contract negotiations were fair, straightforward, and cordial. I want to specifically thank city attorney Kale Decker, Mayor Dan Dine, city administrator Aaron Hearn. It's back there somewhere and Chief Patrick Mitchell for their roles in getting this contract finalized. I look forward to continuing to work with the city administration and maintaining a good relationship in the years ahead. Thank you.

Thanks for your comments.

Hello, Adam Novak, 9730 West Montana Avenue. I stand before you today with deep gratitude and appreciation for the incredible support we at Novak Manor have received from the West Dallas City Council, the res residents of West Dallas, and the surrounding community. Your unwavering support has been the backbone of Novak Manor 2025, making our success possible. Thanks to thanks to your generosity and trust, we saw over 9,000 people in 44 hours, and we have been able to contribute to several vital causes within our community. We donated $7,000 to bikers advocating child safety, helping to ensure that they can continue in their mission. Additionally, we contributed $3,000 to the West Dallas Central Bulldogs football program and donated a total of $3,200 to the Waua South Drama Department. Both groups brought student volunteers, which was great having these kids kids participate in our community. We have also been fortunate enough to again help a local family who has fell on tough times. Lastly, but one of the most cherished in our hearts is a donation that went to the West Dallas Police Department K9 unit, which Alderwoman Novak and I were able to present to Corporal Se and K9 Casey today. Since we are huge supporters of law enforcement as well as being dog lovers, being able to support the K9 unit has been a blessing and it's all because of your support. Without the collective effort of everyone here, backs our wonderful, supportive sponsors, and our amazing volunteers, none of this would have been possible. Your faith in our purpose has fueled our drive in continuing to give back and to make a difference. Looking ahead to 2026, I'm excited to share that big changes are on the horizon. We are planning new initiatives, expanding outreach, and uh community involvement.

[clears throat] Uh, I promise that we will be back bigger and stronger than ever. Thank you once again for your trust and support and your belief in Novak Manor. Together we are building a brighter future in West Dallas. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. Does anybody else wish to address the council under public participation? That was definitely the most positive public participation I have ever encountered. as long as I've been here. So, thank you for that. I'm going to stop it right now before it goes south. Um, we will move on to item F. Our standing committees will be meeting during recess. Those room numbers are on the top of your agendas on page two. So, if you are here for a specific uh piece of business with the city, whether it be a license or something like that, and you are not sure what room to go to when we break for recess, please um stop one of us and ask, and we will make sure to get you in the right room. Um moving on to item G, the mayor's report. I just want to um quickly acknowledge that it is Veterans Day and I want to take a minute to acknowledge all the veterans in our community that work for our city that are in the area and let them know that they are appreciated today and they are heard and they are seen. And I also want to thank our local Tanner Paul Post for assisting our staff with putting on a Veterans Day ceremony this morning at the police substation with uh County Executive Crowley and several members of the post speaking and and being a part of that special ceremony. Uh that does conclude the mayor's report. Are there any reports from the other persons this evening? or woman Noling.

I just want to give a shout out to City Center Neighborhood Association for a very successful event on Sunday. They had their first annual chili cookoff. Um, and it was a fabulous time by all. Thank you. Any other reports from the elder persons? Mayor Divine, you go. Sorry. Alderman Halverson, just wanted to shout out to the second grade class at Horus Man. I was invited to talk about being an elected official today because obviously I'm only been doing this for two years and I know everything about it. Um, but it was a really good time. The kids were engaged and I just want to thank them for inviting me. Thank you, Alderman. Alderwoman Gisham,

Mayor Divine, thank you. Um, as a business owner in city center, I attended this wonderful neighborhood association meeting for the first time. And I just want to give props to older woman Nolan that she took away the prize for the chili contest number one. That's it. Thank you. Any other reports from the other persons? [laughter] Mayor Divine. Alderman H. I move for approval of the minutes of the November 4th, 2025 common council meeting. Second. There's a motion. There's a second. If there are no changes or corrections, all in favor, please say I. I. Any opposed?

The eyes have it. Mr. Chair are approved. Attorney Decker. Uh, I was just alerted by staff that there are an individual in the audience who wish to participate in public comments, but did not realize that that time had been closed. Oh. So, I don't know if the council is interested. I don't know if we've used the full 30 minutes yet. Not even close. Procedurally, if you'd like to, um, you could reopen public comment as long as it's a unanimous consent to the only if it's positive. No promises. Any objections? All right. So, ordered.

Good evening, everybody. Thank you for having me. Um, I would be brief. Um, I appreciate your time. My name is Kim Germ. with the I'm a public public affairs specialist with the US Small Business Administration. And I'm sure you've heard of us. We're here alongside FEMA and other uh partners providing support following the recent disaster that happened in August. And we're still um the the uh physical damage deadline is still on the 12th of this month for FEMA, but for the SBA, we have an extension for another 60 days. And for for people who are aware, uh they can always get some help for from the SBA. And since Milwaukee and Washington and um Milwaukee County, they are all primary counties, they um not just small businesses actually qualify for um small businesses actually qualify for support, but also homeowners, renters, and nonprofits because when most people hear the name SBA, they think we only help small business administration, but actually 80% of our um support goes to home owners. So um I think that um a lot of pe there is a lot of work to do for to to help people know about the support they can get. The difference between us and FEMA is that FEMA they provide grants but we provide loans very low interest loans and terms up to 30 years. Um and um again just to be to be brief um on the business side of like the types of loans we provide for businesses there are physical and not and non-econ and economic and economic injury disaster loans. So, both of them um have a limit up to $2 million and the homeowners have can get help up to $500,000 and renters can get up to $100,000 for personal property. So, um what we take into consideration, we always ask people to apply no matter what what's their credit score because we take it on the case by case basis. And uh what we take into account account is um the credit history, not the credit, not the not the credit score, credit history, ability to repay as well as the full application. And we invite

everybody to apply um um either in person or um in in some um our recovery centers or on at lending.sba.gov. Thank you so much. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me a question. Thank you so much. Thanks a lot. It's a pleasure. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Okay, we're back now. Uh item J. We have no standing committee reports, so we will go to item K. Alsine, thank you. Um in regard to item K, our our consent agenda, do any alder persons wish for separate action on any consent agenda items? Then seeing none, I move for approval of item K, our consent agenda.

Second. There's a motion and a second. Any discussion, questions? If not, I will ask the clerk to take a role. Alder person Gisham I. Grove I. Hos. I. Halverson. Hi. Keane. Hi. Novak. Hi. Noling. Hi. Roach. Hi. Turner. Hi. Wiggle. I. Ten in favor. Zero opposed. Motion carries. And Mayor Divine. Alderman Hos. Before we adjourn for our council recess, I think Alderwoman Gisham is willing to bring a motion.

Thank you, Alderman Hos. uh or President Hus, I move to discharge uh item 21 on our agenda and uh from committee and take up that item um that we can hear it right here on the floor. Did I say that correctly? Thank you. Is there a second? Second. All in favor? I opposed. All right, that item is before us. Thank you,

Mr. Chair. Normally, you could have the clerk read out the item then at this time. That's a good idea. Madam clerk, please read out the item. Resolution directing staff to draft and present all necessary documentation to implement the initial term sheet regarding a joint fire department. Thank you.

Thank Thank you everybody. [clears throat] Um so today I'm going to discuss the term sheet that was put together. This is a draft term sheet. Um during this meeting there will be no uh approvals at this time. we are putting in front of you the resolution. Uh however, we will bring it back uh on the at the December meeting. So I just wanted to preface this uh presentation with that information. Um so first of all, the purpose of this term sheet is to establish a joint fire department through intergovernmental agreement. Um, we have been talking about this for a while and now we've put the the outline of what this will look like and what we will have in the intergovernmental agreement. So, first and foremost, the governance structure we're looking at, we're looking at having a two-tier oversight model uh of the board of directors, which would include the mayors, the council presidents, and city administrators from each community. Uh we would also propose a a board of fire commissioners which would be three residents per city. Um and they would be uh appointed by the mayor and ratified by council. So if anybody has any questions during this please um please let me know um what we're proposing for the contract term and termination. We would uh propose that we go for an initial 10 years um with an automatic six-year renewal. Uh if anyone uh wishes to terminate at any time, if it's with cause, uh it would require a two-year notice after the initial term, which is the 10-year term. Um if it's with cause, it would be just the agreement. So then we also have the cost sharing and budgeting. So after the McMahon uh report that came out showing how similar we were uh to Wawaossa, uh we have

decided that a 50-50 split would be the best way to go. Um the budget rules that we're um uh proposing is that for the first five years that it be capped at 2.84 um so that we can uh follow in line with all the requirements for the innovation grant. Um after that uh automatic approval of 4% or CPI plus 2% whichever is lower. Um but that's what we're proposing uh would happen in this contract. Um there's also some performance standards uh that were discussed the last time. Uh both chiefs uh got together and put these schools or these together. Um but there are CF AI, ISO and NFPA uh performance uh standards that they already have to uh collect. So those would be some of the ones that they would put uh through these performance metrics. Um they also have having a call call processing and total response time as well as fire spread inspections, death and injuries would be tracked as well. Um and then at by the end of 10 years they're hoping to have uh achieve accreditation which right now uh West Dallas does have accreditation um but with putting the group together they would need to um uh go out for accreditation again. out um regarding property. So um uh if if this was not to work out, existing property would revert to the original owners. Um and then the new assets that were purch purchased would be split 50/50. So it would be sold in split split 50/50 um including vehicles and equipment.

Um there's also some shared services that we've discussed. So we're proposing that WASAsa would take HR and finance and then West Alice would have uh attorneys and IT services and then communications, fleet and insurance would go through the joint department. Uh right now we have uh McMahon um is working with a subcommittee which includes fire, police, dispatch admins and technical experts um to put together a evaluation of both dispatch facilities in order to come up with a recommendation that could take about six months or so. So they just started the process re recently. Um but they are putting that information together and we're going to meet be meeting about it um within the next couple months. Uh another thing uh that was considered during uh the discussion of this term sheet is labor and union coordinations. So right now uh both fire chiefs are meeting monthly with the union board members as well as the union boards meeting to with each of each city meeting together as well. Um so that has been going on um this last month. Uh there's also negotiations to consider. However, the um the new entity needs to be created before that happens. Um so all of this um sign off on intergovernmental agreements has has to take place before we get to the point of negotiations. Um but as always we're um in this for you know for collaboration and transparency. So so there are uh four phases uh that we put together. Uh the first is what we're in right now and that's the governance and planning phase which could takes it

up to six months. Um and that's just um the the leadership the financial uh arrangement um and talking about the dispatch study. Um then after that we're going to move on to the organ organizational structure training and branding. Um uh 12 to 24 months will be optimized stations and fleet um and special teams. And then after that 24 plus months would be monitoring metrics, workforce engagement, and developing a 10-year strategic plan. So that's kind of the layout of of what we're looking for within the next two years. Um, some key success factors that uh can be seen we will utilize when putting this organization together uh is maintaining a strong unified leadership. Um, making sure our communication is transparent. Uh, having engagement from the unions and employees in each fire department. Um, respecting each department's uh, traditions when going forward and making decisions. Uh, community outreach and trust as well as measurable cost and service improvements. So, those are our keys uh, looking forward. So, the next steps, so what we're doing today is just discussing what's on the term sheet. uh at the next meeting it will be in front of you for approval. If it's at approved at that time then we will put together an inter uh governmental agreement uh which will be reviewed and and asked for approval on the January 20th um it will basically incorporate all of these terms. Um but it will also include articles of incorporation and a service contract. Um all of this has to be done before we submit the grant and the grant is due by March 31st. Um, so that is our our um we're working backwards from there. So, does anybody have any questions?

Mayor, thanks for the presentation, Administrator Hearn. Yes, you're divine. Alderwoman Keane. Um, I had a couple of questions. When it came to dispatch, right now, police is doing dispatch for fire. Um, so is that what's being taken into consideration of how that impact is of what is determined on dispatch? How that could also impact police? Is police part of this bigger?

Yes, police are part of the discussion. It's an evaluation of how both are set up, how they work, uh, the involvement of the fire department, you know, what their calls are like. Um so they're they're just t taking apart and interviewing both um both groups. So they were actually on site today uh to interview both dispatch centers and to ask a bunch of questions about how um you know how they work and there was what their structure is made up of and there was a subcommittee right that's going to be part of this

and who does that subcommittee consist of? So, it's just the the fire chief, the attorney. I'm sorry. I had it on here. Let me go back. Myself. Um, is that it? Yeah. Um, so we've been Yep. We've been speaking with the police department. Um, and uh, yeah, admin, dispatch, technical experts. Yeah. So, it's it's just been the main team. we have an executive team and that's the attorneys, the um administrators, uh the the fire chiefs um when discussing these things. So,

all right. And then um my other question was you had about the contract term that they can terminate without cause during the renewal term for a two-year notice. Who can decide this? The committee, the fire department themselves, who can who would decide that they don't want to renew? who makes that decision. Um, so it would probably be the board of directors. Okay.

So, yep. And then um my very last question is I know that this is for discussion purposes only but when we approve this resolution does that then mean that after that point this kind of gets turned over to the board of directors the board of fire commissions and then the inner workings of the details of like what schedule they're going to take how benefits are going to go how time off is going to go does that then fall into those committees and not under common council jurisdiction am Am I understanding that properly? Yes. Yes, that's correct. Um, but this is after you've signed the inter uh the intergovernmental agreement. So, that would be on the January 20th date. Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you, Laura McGish. Uh, thank you, mayor. Uh, thank you, Aaron, for the presentation. Um I have a question regarding the governance because at this point we have 18 public officials between Waossa and West Alice and this uh governance is from my understanding as you pointed out it's going to be both mayors both city administrators both council presidents three residents from each city. Um how does will be on the fire commission? Pardon me. Uh the three residents per city will be on the fire commission.

Exactly. And that's what I mean. So currently we have a police and fire commission that will be going to a fire commission for our city and that's as you said the structure of governance. However, at this time we don't have any alderpersons that are part of the police and fire commission and I want to know how that works as far as determinations because obviously the council will still have the purse to pay for things if I'm correct but then the board of directors has the decision making. um how does that work with having an elected official on that board when it comes to voting and otherwise the same as if there was an event of a tie and Mayor Divine would have to break that. How does that work without there being a bias? Obviously, our goal is to make these depart the department the best it can be. No doubt. But I just want to make sure there would never be a runaway situation.

Sure. Attorney Decker.

Sure. So the proposed idea is to create a chapter 181 non-stock corporation and the mayors, council presidents and city ministers from each community total of six people would form the board of directors of that corporation. If you think about it, it's sort of the substitute of what the council is to the city. So that board of directors makes all the decisions on finances and uh everything like that. So that's is running the corporation. The fire commission would only handle the hiring uh discipline, training policies of the actual firefighters and administrative staff. They wouldn't handle any money. They wouldn't handle any decisions for the corporation. In fact, they'd be appointed directly by the two communities. They would not be appointed by the board of directors. Um there's a case of the 1980s that says that cities actually cannot appoint older persons or elected officials to the fire commission, police fire commission. So that's the reason why they are separated. Um the governing body then is very much controlled by the cities and their governing bodies. Um but then the fire commission remains independent as it's intended in the statutes. So anything I've missed? I'm happy to jump on that, but I think I've covered most of it.

Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions from the council? Mayor Divine. Alderman Hos. All right, Erin or whoever wants to answer this. Um so budgeting, we're committed to budget increases. I think in the in the slide it showed a for five years the first five years of the 10 years and oh no it's going back I'm sorry

yeah my question is then after that yeah their first five years capped at 2.84% 84% annual increase. All right. And then after that period, how does it work? Is it the the joint fire department makes a request, this is its total budget, and then it's split 50/50 between Wawaossa and West Alice and this is the number or what if what if we as a council say no joint fire department, we can't afford that as a community. Uh we're looking at a different number. How does that work?

So, what this is basically saying is that they could automatically increase it up to 4% or CPI plus two, whichever is lower regardless. They wouldn't have to bring it to common counsel. So, that's the that would just that would be just an automatic approval. If they wanted more than that, then they would have to bring and request it to common counsel or to the to their board, I'm sorry. So, Host, I think your microphone turned off. Mine did, too. Okay. Thank you.

So, if they if Yeah. the So, if they're asking for for an increase greater than the 4% or CPI plus 2%, whichever is lower during the first 10 years, right? Okay. Well, and it doesn't say first 10 years. It just says going forward. going forward. Yeah. Okay, that's that's even better. All right. And then how about a name? Has there been some discussion? And what about Wawa Stalis? [laughter]

Uh so a name has not been chosen yet. Actually, we will probably have to choose a name. Um you know, just to create the the entity at first, but yes, no, no name has been chosen. However, I do know that the fire departments have already been discussing it. [laughter] All right. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Alderman Hos. Any other questions from the council? Mayor Divine. Alderoman Grove. Um I guess just a point of clarification. Obviously, if moving forward if there'd be the joint um police commission, would we then have to create a separate police commission um for each city then since they're currently joint? I will let Kale take that.

Sure. So currently the police and fire commission for the city of West Dallas would continue to exist as a police commission. Uh and so all the members who are appointed to it would continue to serve in that capacity during their terms. Um they would just focus only in the police department moving forward if a joint commission is accreated. Thank you. Mayor Divine. Alderwoman Keane.

I had a follow-up question on the budget. So within our budget, we're going to assume this much plus 4%. That's how we know that we're going to be able to continue to afford as cities the payroll because we know that the city is still budgeting for the payroll of it. Again, this grant isn't meant to subsidize to fully fund the police department or our fire departments. It's meant to help with equipment um correct revitalization of um stations. So then if it was over, so then within the mayor's budget, that would be part of that amount each year that would be budgeted for. And then if it was over, it would have to come to common council.

Correct. To make sure that it's afforded. So like we know what that would be then each year, right? Mhm. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Any other questions? All right. All right. Then if there's no other questions, would somebody want to make a motion to approve? There's no approval needed. So the Yep. This is just a discussion only. Resolution was recommended. Recommend.

Mr. Chair, you'll see in the agenda that the recommendation is to adopt this resolution. Uh however, just to time up things, Watsa won't be taking action on this tonight either. Want to make sure that councils have an opportunity to consider the new information they just received. Um, and so that's why I think it'd be advantageous to actually move to postpone this item until se till December 9th. That way it gives a month for the council to consider things and make sure that the term sheet that it's been delivered to everyone is something that you want to see in the final documentation. Um, because if we get any comments on December 9th that you want something changed, you'd have an opportunity to make those changes before January 20th. Mayor Divine Alman House, I move that we postpone this item till December 9th. Second.

There's a motion. There's a second. Uh, all in favor? I. Any opposed? All right. The item is postponed. Mayor Divine, may I um make a suggestion that we have this in the same format as we have now for December 9th if that's okay. We do that in advance or do we need to? We'll do it when we do the agenda. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And Mayor Divine, Alderman Hoffs, I move that the council stand in recess until the conclusion of our committee meetings. Second. There's a motion and a second. All in favor? Anyone opposed? We are in recess.

to order and I will ask our clerk to call the role when she's ready. Alder person Gisham here, Ro here, Hos here, Halverson here, Keen here, Novak here, Nolan here, Roach here, Turner here, Wel here, 10 present. We have a quorum. We will begin with the administration committee. I will ask the clerk to read out that report.
