President Wilshire
Thank you. Alderman Caron?
Alderman Caron
Yes, thank you. Just a couple of things. Mayor | want to thank you and Channel 16 for showing the 4" of July
fireworks on TV live that day. | did get a lot of comments because people still did not want to go out with such a
large crowd. So hopefully next year you can do it again. | thought it was great, maybe a little bit more advertising
ahead of time. But! thought it was fabulous. And the other thing is | want to thank your staff for taking the time
to review all those members whose terms have expired on these Boards and Commissions because | had
received a phone call that there were some that were really outdated. And they really worked hard and Madam
President, none of them have to come to the Personnel Meeting, we will just read them off. But thank you. And |
think you have about 10 or 15 more to go. So | really appreciate Cheryl and your staff taking the time to do that
really. And Alderman Jette, Mr. Fredette is old enough to retire.
Alderman Dowd
Yeah | would just like to say that all of our FY’22 budget meetings are now over. We will have a budget meeting
later in the month; | think we have one thing, maybe two now with this meeting on the Agenda. So it will be very
short. And | just want to thank all of the members of the Budget Committee for going through all the time and
effort to look through the budget. It is always difficult and | think in the end we will cherish the budget that we
approved. So thank you.
Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam President. To Alderman Lopez, | got word that the July Board of Health meeting was
cancelled because they are moving. That’s what | got from Dr. ...
Alderman Lopez
There’s still an update on my thing.
Alderman Klee
... from Dr. Wolf-Rosenbloom this morning because | have been trying to meet with her. So | think it has been
cancelled. She said the meeting for July is cancelled due to the Public Health Department’s move. So | don’t
know if that was advertised or not, | actually put out that the meeting was there too so we may need to check on
that.
Alderman Lopez
So it had been originally proposed to but | still got the meeting invite, so | mean the meeting invites went out —
maybe nothing.
Alderman Klee
Maybe she’s mistaken.
Alderman Lopez
She’s 30% of the Board so | don’t think she is. That ties back to that quorum issue.
