CITY COUNCIL Lower Level Council Chambers Monday, April 07, 2025 6:00 PM MINUTES CALL TO ORDER – ROLL CALL PRESENT Mayor Jeff Jacque, Council Member Mike English, Council Member Jim Gibbs, Council Member Mike Oberbroeckling, Council Member Mark Singsank, Council Member Tom Westhoff PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE APPROVAL OF AGENDA Motion made by Council Member Gibbs to approve April 7, 2025 agenda as presented Seconded by Council Member Oberbroeckling. Voting Yea: English, Gibbs, Oberbroeckling, Singsank, Westhoff Nays: None Motion carried. ORAL COMMENTS Derick Durr, 5502 South Hyde Park, Chicago, feels his cousin Brian Spencer, Jr.'s case was racially biased, and the evidence was contaminated. The police department did not do everything it could and is negligent. The families are looking for answers. Lakeisha Blount, who used to live at 112 5th Street NE, the mother of Brian Spencer, Jr., doesn’t understand how it could have been suicide when he was shot in the back of the head, and wants someone to do a proper investigation. The family has been getting harassed. Her son was treated like a dog. Tina Rice, 313 W Main St, Epworth, is a social worker, an advocate, and a citizen of Dubuque County. The story of Brian Spencer Jr came across her Facebook feed, and it was the first she had heard of it, and she was shocked. She has been advocating and helping them since most of them don’t live in the area. Terrance Pryor, 401 Westridge Dr, Acworth, GA, is a licensed attorney and the older cousin of Brian Spencer, Jr. He implores you all to look into this case and ask the Police Department and the Division of Criminal Investigation from the State of Iowa to open it. He doesn’t understand how items were allowed to be removed from the scene. Brian Spencer, Sr., 3717 W 86th Place, Chicago, feels this is a statement of gender bias and wants the investigation reopened. Willy Bly, 320 Hill St, Dubuque, was a cousin of Brian Spencer, Jr., and they were very close and talked about mental health issues with each other. He wants the case reopened. Stacia Smalley, 120 1/2 1st Ave W, was Brian Spencer Jr.'s little sister, and he was like sunshine. He always made sure she kept her head on right. The Police could do better. Janae Washington, 101 15th S Morgan Ave, Chicago, was the little cousin to little Brian. Saying he ended his life does not align with the family's desire to be heard.
