CITIZEN COMMENTS
Barb, a Piano resident, shared a quote by a Supreme Court Justice from 1884 about Christianity. She also
said she is against drag shows in a children's atmosphere.
Jenny, a Yorkville resident, thanked the Council. She stated the drag show in Yorkville was in an
establishment for people 21 years and older. She shared she would not bring her children to that
establishment as it was for people 21 and older. Jenny said everyone has choices, and if you disagree with
it, you have a choice not to go.
Molly Krempski, a Yorkville resident, shared social media research with the Council on the performers
from the Pinz drag show from August 2022. Molly states this is a sexually provocative style of
entertainment, and there needs to be a conversation about the impact that allowing adult entertainers to
perform in standard business zones will have on the future of Yorkville.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council — October 25, 2022 — Page 5 of 5
Mike Krempski, a Yorkville resident, stated they were here because of an ordinance violation and wanted
to discuss a viable strategy moving forward. He shared their personal beliefs don't change the ordinances
currently in place, and they will continue to express their religious views freely.
Keith, a Plano resident, stated everyone has a right to do what they want and live the lives they want to
live. But when you start putting things like this in front of children, there is an issue. There are ordinances
in Yorkville that should prevent this that are not being enforced. Keith said if you are not enforcing this,
you are tyrants and need to be removed.
