But when | got there at 6:00 when the sun had finally risen, | was told that people were in line at 5:00 and the
line at that point was around the entire parking area which has never been seen before. It was stunning to
see so many people care so much about something.
And lastly, | simply want to give a special shout out to those who have served. It is a gift you give us and |
really appreciate it. My dad was regular Army and my mom was Women Army Corp, which we always called
her a WAC, which, of course, she was. So thank you very much and thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you for giving me a second turn. | remembered what | had as a final point. You guys can hear me
correct?
President Wilshire
Yes.
Alderwoman Kelly
Ok | just wanted to bring us back to the beginning of the meeting where we were talking about the COVID
cases rising and recognize Director Bagley and her team for doing an incredible job with contact tracing etc.
and appeal again to the community to do their part in this. Obviously cases are rising, it’s really important that
we wear masks, wash our hands. If you have any symptom, runny nose you think is no big deal, don’t go out
in public, really help us to get to better place here in our community. Thank you.
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Madam President and again thank you for letting me have a second bite at this apple. But | did
omit something and Alderman Dowd brought it up. | had an incredible tour of the Fairgrounds Middle School
and the changes. And | strongly recommend and he'll probably kill me for doing this, any of the Board
members that might be interested in seeing it, it’s definitely worth the tour. | got to wear a hardhat for the first
time in my life and | was really quite excited about it. But it was, it really was an amazing the work that
they’ve done and they were able to answer some questions that | had and so. | strongly recommend it, thank
you.
President Wilshire
OK anyone else? | would like to thank the City Clerk for the work she did during this election, her wonderful
staff and of course all the poll workers, you know, interacting with the public, it was an interesting day and |
think it was well run, everything went very smooth at Ward 4 and | hear in the rest of the City everything went
really well too. So I’d like to thank all the poll workers, the City Clerk and her staff. Also, Director Bagley and
the work she is doing, | don’t know how she keeps up but like our City Clerk, they are just there for us when
we need them and | truly appreciate that. I’d like to congratulate the State Reps that got reelected,
congratulations to all of you.
