City Council — July 7, 2026
The council added money to the capital budget for security upgrades at City Hall. Ald. Mike Chrisien voted no.
Finance Committee — June 30, 2026
City Hall staff have faced direct threats, panic-button calls, and at least one resignation over safety fears. The plan adds ballistic glass at public counters, locked employee areas, exterior barriers, and door numbering so first responders can locate rooms quickly. Funded from existing cash, so no tax impact.
