Alderwoman Kelly
No | just wanted to wrap it up and see if the pleasure of the Board, if we send it to Committee what
Committee it would go to and if we need a formal motion from me to do that?
Alderman Caron
President Wilshire? Yes, thank you. Personnel has an Ordinance or Resolution concerning Public
Comment and that was tabled because Alderman Dowd was doing some more checking. So if Alderman
Dowd has what he needs, we can certainly bring it up at the next Personnel Meeting which is the 1°"
Monday in July.
President Wilshire
Thank you, Alderman Caron. Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
Yes, | was waiting to get the final language on the revised Ordinance that we discussed way back in
Personnel from Attorney Leonard. | haven’t gotten that back yet; we haven’t pushed it because we sort of
changed the rules in meeting in Webex. But that can certainly be brought back up at that meeting and we
can talk about it more. And by the way, the 5 minutes has worked very well. | have a stopwatch that | use
for all the Public Hearings, including the City Budget and we haven’t had a problem yet.
President Wilshire
OK. What | will do is | will look into this further, how we can manage it, how we can get it done, what we
need to do to get it done and | will get a communication out to each of you by the end of the week. If that
helps?
Alderwoman Kelly
Yes President Wilshire, | would appreciate that, thank you.
President Wilshire
You’re welcome. OK Remarks by Members of the Board of Aldermen. Alderman O’Brien?
REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Madam President. | would just like to take this opportunity to offer the condolences to the
family of Leo Coutermarsh who passed away this week at the age of 90. | can’t say that | really knew the
gentleman but | think some of the longer-term members of the Board, possibly may have known him. But
he was a Ward 4 Clerk, Ward 4 Alderman and also served as Alderman-at-Large and also was Chairman
of the City Democratic Committee. So | guess in his 90 years he did do a lot of good things for the City
and | just, again, wanted to express my condolences to the family on his passing. Thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you, something a little bit lighter here, it is getting to be spring. If people were taking advantage of
the backyard chicken Ordinance like myself, I’ve got four chickens, they are fabulous. We are getting to
the age where you might know whether they are roosters or not. So there is a guide that was put together
by Community Development to talk about what to do with those roosters.
