Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
First of all, welcome to our new members around the horseshoe. | guess as snow plowing goes 1’ll call
my Ward Alderman who is Alderman McCarthy.
Alderman Schoneman
Welcome to the new members here and | look forward to working with all of you and | am looking forward
to working with Mayor Donchess.
Alderman Siegel
I’d like to thank Mayor Donchess for the meeting that we had last night, it was very well attended and
there was a lot of good information. Also thank you to my colleagues on the Board for attending and
providing some good insights. | look forward to working with everybody.
Alderman Caron
| would like to thank Patricia and her staff for the good job they did at the inauguration on Sunday. We
did have a few little glitches but basically the whole thing went very well and for your first time being
totally in charge, | think it went wonderfully and thank you Alderman Cookson for allowing your daughter
to come and do the pledge. It was a pleasure having her participate. | welcome all of you New
Hampshire Alderman to this great horseshoe and | look forward to working with you, Mayor Donchess in
a different capacity that we did 30 years ago. Hopefully we can get done early before the snow gets any
worse.
Alderman Dowd
Also, welcome to the new members of the Board, | hope we have a very good year going forward. | was
at the Board of Education meeting last night. Sandra Ziehm was elected the President and Howard
Coffman was elected the clerk. Also | convinced them to name five members to fill out the Joint Special
School Building Committee. You will recall that we couldn’t do the organizational meeting after the
inauguration because they hadn't elected five people yet so filling out that committee will be Mr.
Hallowell, Mr. Farrington, Mr. Mosher, Mrs. Zienhm and Mrs. Oden. We will have a meeting on the 28"
an organizational meeting before we have the other meetings scheduled. Also at that meeting last night
the Board of Education took a vote and decided that they would close the public schools on February 9""
for the Presidential Primary because of the anticipated number of people to turn out.
Alderman Cookson
Welcome to the new members, | look forward to working with you over the next two years and continuing
to work with those that are returning. To the Inauguration Committee and to Patricia, | wanted to say
thank you for asking my daughter to say the pledge, it was very thoughtful of you and very much
appreciated and | think she had fun and she was very well behaved on stage.
