PUBLIC COMMENT - None
Mayor Donchess
| wanted to ask the committee about a couple of procedural items. First of all, we have been meeting at 7:00 p.m. for a
long time. | just threw out the question would you prefer to meet earlier — 6 — 6:30? There’s nothing that says exactly
what time we have to meet but if people prefer 7, fine. If you prefer something earlier, you get home a little earlier we
could do that as well.
Alderwoman Timmons
Thank you Mayor. | prefer earlier — 6 o’clock | think is a good time and we can get out earlier. A lot of us work in the
morning and the earlier the better.
Alderman Klee
| hate to be the person of dissention but the truth is that my obligation in the State House right now we would be meeting
