The physical location of the hearing, presumably open to the public, is Room 301-B of City Hall.
You'll note the page for last meeting includes an agenda pdf. It's possible they put that up first. It listed the settlement issue, so if Tomlinson's name isn't in there, it's probably not at the meeting. Probably worth checking before actually going there.
It's possible they have a threshold amount for whether a settlement is worthy of discussion, so if they don't even have it as an agenda item, he got birdseed, or at least less than $150,000.
Today Milwaukee Legislation Committee set up a $150,000 special account to pay out for all settlements in 2026. They just dipped into it for another case as well
That's not what happened. It's $150,000 for settlement of one case, Berry Beverly v. City of Milwaukee. Milwaukee's Damages and Claims Fund for 2026 is $2,500,000 (Milwaukee detailed budget pdf).
Shot in the dark here, but I think the subtitle would be more accurate if it said "plotted to murder his newborn daughter" instead of "terminated parental rights"
I mean he was right though. Like after the third swatting maybe the city should figure out something is up with that particular address and stop sending armed hitsquads to his house.

He took a swing at a cop on the first one and had a history of violent threats that led to a conviction for threatening to murder a baby.
Also most of the "swats" were just knocking on the door and making sure nothing was amiss. In any event, none of the cops were shown to have done anything wrong.

So why would they need to put it on the agenda at all? Just pay it out of the general fund. If they raise special money for a $150,000 case, there's some kind of trigger amount. In any event, it's worth checking the agenda before the 5/26 hearing.
What cargo-cult totem of performative masculinity do you think he'll blow it on? He already has a Triumph and the Bullitt car and a meme gun. Maybe jet skis? An RV?
All that could happen is separation. Though the wife could gain full custody of the children. He'd be unlikely spend any prison time, even if he did it would be a few days at most. It's also considered banishment, not imprisonment according to their laws. The laws are also harder on the woman than they are on the men. For a women it falls under Article 333 of the Revised Penal code and is called adultery and can get a few years in prison. Concubinage, what this man did, falls under Article 334 of the Revised Penal Code. Only the offended spouse can file.
In other words, if the wife doesn't care than the government doesn't.

Amounts larger than $5,000 get voted on. For example, I found a case of one J. Munoz getting a $10,000 payout from Milwaukee in a matter involving excessive police force.
Incidentally there are previous hearings where a lot more pedestrian cases were considered. If it actually does, for some reason, end up covered, it would definitely be cheaper than messing around with FOIA.
Also there are apparently records of the Damages and Claims Fund (probably where Rick would be paid from), but they're in the City Records Center and probably don't exist yet anyway.
We have plenty of time to figure it out, though. In any event, it's nearly inevitable that if any money changed hands, there will be an easily available public record of it. If there isn't, it means he got jack and shit, or maybe even a deal that amounted to "if you fuck off right now we won't seek sanctions."

So the payout has to be more than $5000. He isn't bragging about winning a lawsuit on Twitter so it can't be a lot. Maybe 10k with half actually going to him. I hope he gets jewed on the vote and gets nothing because it'd be funny to see him seethe.
I hear Rick is planning to celebrate the money he receives from the settlement by filling a swimming pool with dog food and diving into it like Scrooge McDuck.
Apologies for this disturbing but also 100% accurate piece of news.

Wrong, stalker. They are virtuosos par excellence, whose musical compositions deserve to be ranked among the greatest in the history of mankind. They have revolutionized modern music in ways that The Beatles and Led Zeppelin could only dream of. Enjoy novelty pop-metalcore, child.
