The Board of Parks Commission on July 13 approved a request from 1 Voice Church for amplified music at Columbus Park during a shelter rental on Aug. 2, 2026.
Jay Markison, who identified himself and gave a Kenosha address, spoke for the group and described the planned outdoor worship service. "We are actually really similar to, the gentleman before me. Same event name, different location," Markison said, asking for amplified music for a service that will include food, singing and a sermon.
Commissioners moved to approve the amplified-music request, seconded the motion and carried it by voice vote; the transcript records the chair voting aye. The approval authorizes amplified sound at the shelter rental on the specified date, subject to any standard park permit conditions enforced by staff.
