President Wilshire
Director Kleiner, did you want to jump in on that?
Director Kleiner
So you brought up your Chamber and | wanted to give a little update there. So D.L. King has agreed
to work and continue on the Chamber. There are so few of them coming into the building at this point
we intend to try to keep that on schedule. But you bring up another point that is important and that is
the cleaning of buildings. So as we close we want to work on a thorough cleaning process which
means having as few people in the building as we can so that when we do open we’ve made sure that
our buildings are properly cleaned and there’s not any question when we open back up to the general
public. So while | understand Attorney Bolton’s, if we could have as few of meetings as possible, and
limit it, especially here in the small room of 208 where you are really compacting people in a limited
space.
Alderwoman Kelly
| had two follow ups. One was that | think the State House is closed so | would reach out and ask
some of my colleagues what they are doing and how that might reflect us on us.
Alderman O’Brien
We are closed.
Alderwoman Harriott-Gathright
We are closed, we are done.
Alderman Dowd
They sent them all home.
Alderwoman Kelly
And then the only other comment | have and | know | am not super close to a microphone, | have a
long list of things that | know this is going to affect and things that we are going to have to touch. So |
am wondering how we might meet and address those things. Even if we say we are canceling all
meetings, well OK at some time we might need to address rent or utilities or how much the non-profits
are getting swamped and how we might be able to help them. So there are going to be things that we
are going to have to address as this continues on.
President Wilshire
This is very fluid; | mean there are so many things that we don’t know yet.
