RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR
Alderman Lopez
| just wanted to thank the Mayor for all of his efforts in addressing the Coronavirus and making sure that we
are flattening the curve as much as possible in advance of the event. | think a really effective and early
action and | think the public may not have fully understood the magnitude of what we were facing. So it
took a lot of courage and willpower to say well we are listening to the experts.
President Wilshire
Tom, can you speak a little louder or close to your mic? Thank you.
Alderman Lopez
Sure. | think it took a lot of courage to say we are listening to our Public Health Officials and we are doing
what is right for our constituents and our residents whether or not is it popular or not. So | just wanted to
thank the Mayor for taking that.
President Wilshire
All set Alderman Lopez?
Alderman Lopez
Yeah.
President Wilshire

Yes Jim | know you are extremely busy right now but could you, in the next couple of days, touch base with
me by phone so we can talk about the Budget Meetings?
Mayor Donchess

Alderman Dowd

President Wilshire
Anyone else, response to the Mayor?
