The Milwaukee County Committee on Finance held a hybrid meeting on June 18, 2025, where members discussed an upcoming event aimed at enhancing community engagement and accessibility. The primary focus was on a new initiative involving synchronized music for spectators during local air shows and fireworks displays.

Supervisor Belinski expressed enthusiasm for the changes, highlighting the positive impact they could have on individuals who experience PTSD from loud events. This initiative aims to create a more inclusive environment for all attendees.

During the meeting, questions arose regarding how the public would access the synchronized music. A representative confirmed that a professional sound company would set up sound systems at McKinley Beach, the event's central location. Additionally, a downloadable app will be available for those outside the immediate area, ensuring that everyone can participate in the experience. The committee plans to promote this app through social media and press releases as the event date approaches.

Supervisors emphasized the importance of thoroughly testing the app to avoid technical issues during the event. Overall, the committee expressed excitement about the initiative and its potential to enhance community enjoyment while being mindful of the needs of all residents.
