President McCarthy
| want to say thank you to GAD for the new Farmer’s Market. | had the opportunity to go to the first one
and it was quite impressive. | think it is going to become a great asset to the City and | would
encourage everybody to get down on Main Street and go on Sundays.
Committee announcements:
Alderman Dowd
Yes the Joint Special that was going to be this Thursday has been cancelled. The next one is July 25",
we may have one prior to that because the one order of business for the meeting is to approve the
request for solicitations for an architect and a contractor for the middle school projects. So stay tuned.
Alderman Caron
Yes, thank you. Personnel is cancelled for July since we have no nominations. Thank you.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Yes PEDC was originally scheduled for July 17" and it is not only in conflict with the Holman Event but
there is no business at this point so | will not be rescheduling it for July.
Alderman O’Brien
Yes just to remind everybody tomorrow night in the Aldermanic Chamber, starting at 7:00 will be a
Public Hearing on the renumbering of impact to properties to 3 and7 Dawn Street and immediately
following that will be a meeting of the Infrastructure Committee and you are all welcome.
Alderman Wilshire
| was just going to mention the Special Board of Meeting for the Public Hearing tomorrow night. Thank
you Alderman O’Brien.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
May | just make a comment? | thought about this as you were asking for Committee Announcements.
The Police last weekend really made a concerted effort to address the noise problem that | Know many
of us have heard about from outdoor diners. There was a large number of stops and | think in most
cases the people who were stopped were given warnings. | know many people in the past 8 or 9 years
have commented to me that they love being downtown but they hate the noise as they are sitting
outside dining. So | had a chance to thank the Chief this afternoon but | would also like to thank them
again for finding the resources to do that.
Alderman Lopez
There are other activities that happen downtown too, we just had our Longest Day Vigil for people that
we have lost to recovery and | mean some of our statements were punctuated by the roar of a herd of
motorcycles. So | appreciate that we can find a balance between the two. | wanted to announce that
the Substandard Living Committee is going to be July 12" here in the Aldermanic Chamber.
