Board of Aldermen 01-12-2021 Page 13
I'd also like to compliment the Public Health Department; they are working constantly on this. | can’t even
tell you the number of hours; the Mayor himself is on the partners phone call on Monday morning. In the
beginning we had phone calls at 8:00 every day, 7 days a week for weeks. So people are really working
hard on this and trying to keep our communities as healthy as possible. But it is a virus just like the flu and
as Dr. Cappetta said, one year we had a flu vaccine where unfortunately we didn’t get the results that we
wanted because we guessed wrong on the virus that ended up being here. So we will try to keep you up-to-
date on everything; feel free to ask questions. Alderman Lopez has been great as a liaison to our Board
and we appreciate that as well. Any questions?
President Wilshire
Does anyone have questions for Dr. Storace? That's why you waited until the end? Well I'd like to thank
each of you Dr. Cappetta, Dr. Granok and Dr. Storace for being with us this evening. We value you as a
Board and thank you very much for being here tonight and for everything you are doing to keep the City
safe as well as Director Bagley and her great crew of people who like you said, worked tirelessly.
Everywhere | go | see them working; it’s pretty amazing. So thank you all very much.
Dr. Storace
Does that mean we can get a raise?
President Wilshire
Ah....
Dr. Storace
Thank you guys.
President Wilshire
OK, moving on we have Recognition Period.
RECOGNITION PERIOD

President Wilshire recognized Mayor Donchess to present recognition.
Mayor Donchess
Yes, thank you Madam President. | do have our Proclamation but before | get into that | wanted to mention
some of the people who have been active in the Brave New World Project that may be on the call tonight.
Students who | am not sure everybody there could be others, but these are the ones that | was told would
likely be on; we have students from Nashua North: Andrew Berry, Joe Restein, Deb Sewhuk and Ben Klein.
We also have National Honor Society Officers Mia and Michelle. We have Brentwood students, Raven,
Natalie Panata and Andre Dabney. Also staff people who were very active, Stephanie Sewhuk Thomas —
