Board of Aldermen 5-21-2020 Page 42
Attorney Bolton
It’s the exact same as throwing snow into the street.
Alderwoman Kelly
Great, thank you, | appreciate that analogy. The other thing | wanted to just point out is that it also covers
Government Buildings. We've talked a lot about retail and being outside. But it also covers Government
Buildings and | know | have heard from my constituents about opening City Hall. So | would like for us to
reflect on that as well, making sure that all of the people who work for the City is top on my priorities as well
President Wilshire
Ok the Motion before us is for final passage of Ordinance....
Alderman Clemons
Hello? President Wilshire.
President Wilshire
Yes?
Alderman Clemons
May | speak?
President Wilshire
Alderman Clemons. Yes.
Alderman Clemons
Yes, thank you. | just wanted to just follow up briefly on something that was insinuated by previous speaker
is that | make every decision that | make based on what | feel is the best thing to do for this City and for its
residents. And | do not rely on other Aldermen to make that decision for me. | listen to their opinions and |
listen o the discussion at hand and | listen to my constituents, | listen to science, and ultimately make a
decision on things and so | just want everyone to understand that the decision that | am making this
evening is an educated one on my part because to me, it is a shame that we can’t come to a lesser fine, an
agreement on a lesser fine or a lesser penalty as Alderman O’Brien says, “education”. So that’s the reason
why. It’s not that | deny the science or it’s not that | don’t want to back up the Board of Health. It’s not even
that | don’t masks to be worn on City Property. | think if we wanted to create a policy like that that was just
independent of this, | would have no problem with that. So | just want everyone to understand that. So
thank you.
President Wilshire
Ok. Anyone else? Seeing none, the motion is for final passage of Ordinance 20-018. Would the Clerk
please call the roll?
