really awesome community effort. And | want to thank everyone, those essential personnel and those that

work and the social distancing and doing everything you need to do to help prevent the spread of this virus.

President Wilshire

Yes.

Alderman Lopez

So as much as we are in a pandemic, and everybody is practicing social distancing voluntarily, it also can
be a tremendous burden on people in particular who are extroverts or who need social supports. So | just
wanted to remind the public that Mobile Crisis Response Team is still operating. We are using all the
safety precautions that are appropriate. And they are open 24/7. So if you are in distress, reach out to
someone. The number is (603) 816-0101.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you, Madam President. | move to amend the motion.

President Wilshire

The attorney is saying you can’t. The Motion is to suspend the rules to allow for a second reading of
Ordinance 20-011. Further discussion on that.

Alderman Lopez
| had a question through the President to the Corporation Counsel.
President Wilshire

Could you speak closer to your microphone again Alderman Lopez. Thank you.

Alderman Lopez

If the Mayor were to... the Board to bring something in under suspension, would that violate it because he
doesn't really have a vote per se? So he could indicate that that’s his preference, even if that’s not what
we end up actually doing.

Attorney Bolton

due diligence can be done ahead of the first Hearing, because the normal process has been that the first
hearing sends it for review more thorough review.

President Wilshire

Are you referring to a first reading and a second reading?

Alderwoman Lu

That’s what | meant; did | say “hearing”?

President Wilshire

You did.

Alderwoman Lu
