Mayor Donchess
Thank you, Madam Clerk. The first item on the Agenda is Public Comment. Is there anyone on the meeting
via Zoom Video or over the phone who would like to make public comment concerning any matters before the
Committee? And before we go on to the remainder of the agenda | wanted to mention that | see that we have
Alderman Skip Cleaver present, he is not a member of the Committee but is, of course, a member of the Board
of Aldermen.
