REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Clemons
Madam President, if | may, it looks like there are a couple of other people who would like to speak.
President Wilshire
Ok. Ms. Scaer.
Beth Scaer Hi Beth Scaer, East Hobart Street. | just wanted to say that | am very concerned about these
changes to the mask ordinance requiring business owners and managers to enforce the mask ordinance. It
puts them in a very tough position. It is a very sensitive issue for people who can’t or won’t wear a mask
and that just makes them the villain and they’ve already been struggling under these economic slowdowns.
| just think it is really cowardly to put them in this position of having to enforce what is a very unpopular
ordinance contrary to what the Mayor said. Thank you.
President Wilshire

Arlington Street and it had one whole lane blocked which was a problem. But other than that it worked like
a charm. It went fairly quickly but there were a lot of people. And my kudos go out to the people that ran
that and the Police detachment that was there directing traffic, they all did a great job.
President Wilshire
| live near the airport, | had to put myself on mute. Alderman Klee and then Alderman Clemons.
Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam President. I'll be quick here, | would just like to send my condolences also to the family
and friends of Nancy Barry, Bill Barry and Helen Honorow are constituents of mine and | know a loss,
especially during this time and just having experienced one myself is extraordinarily hard. But when it is a
parent it is truly rough so my condolences to the family.
Alderman Clemons
Thank you. A few things. | too want to express my condolences to Bill Barry and Helen Honorow and
family for their loss. And | also want to take time to address a situation that happened over the weekend in
my neighborhood. At the corner of Lake and Chestnut Street early morning Saturday there was a fatal
