REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Alderman Klee
| just want to let people in Ward 3 know that | will be holding a Town Hall type of meeting at Dental
Connection this Friday at 5:00 and the following Thursday at 7:00.
Alderman Lopez
Yes | just want to thank everybody who helped organize and everybody who came out for the Tree
Streets Block Party last weekend. It was a really good event, we had a lot of good times and | think it
really showcased all the diversity and positive strengths of the community. El Paisano won the Best
Rice on the Block Competition if anybody is wondering. It was generally a really good event.
| also wanted to invite anybody who is able to attend on June 21", it is the Summer Solstice which is
the longest day of the year and that is typically when we hold a vigil for people who are in recovery in
trying to recover one day at a time so that will be from 6:00 to 6:30 in front of Good Shepherd. So
anybody is invited to come and if you want somebody to be remembered that we’ve lost during their
struggle for recovery, you can submit names to Gatehouse Recovery. | will post more on that on my
page so that anybody reading can see that.
Alderman Dowd
Yes in case you hadn't seen it in the paper, last night the Board of Education referred the Middle School
Project to the Joint Special School Building Committee so we will be meeting quite frequently now on
that particular subject. If you want all the facts from it, you can watch it on the Board of Education
televised City site. It is only the first half hour so you don’t have to watch the whole meeting.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Thank you. First of all | would like to wish a Happy Ramadan to those in our community who are
celebrating.
Then there was something recently that occurred over at New Searles and people thought it was
gunshots and then it was discovered it was fireworks and ‘tis the season. So a reminder that fireworks
are illegal in the City. | know that Alderman Klee and | have had discussions about resident’s concerns
about fireworks going off not just the week before and the week after 4" of July but throughout the
summer. | know in Ward 8 there was a home that actually had damage from fireworks.
