Board of Aldermen 10-12-2021 Page 14
I'm told that the committee that approves the Mayor’s selections is not tasked with ensuring that the
qualifications are being met. So! assume that our Legal Department is. | don't know who the Mayor is using
to keep these appointments proper, but they didn't treat Ward 6 properly and I'm just baffled that nobody
thought to give me a call. Thank you.
Alderman Lopez
| cannot speak for all the other Alderman but | will say | don't entirely trust all of the at-large Aldermen to
remember Ward 4 because you're all representing the whole city instead of the individual ones. So nobody
called me to let me know that there was nobody on Ward 4. | went through the list. | asked the Mayor about it.
The Mayor identified somebody who was definitely in June's Ward and then | gave him a list of candidates. So
Aldermen Caron sorry.
So | will say that we all do our responsibilities differently but if anybody from Ward 4 is listening and you reach
out to me, whenever | see things like this where | want to make sure that Ward 4 is fully represented and that
our perspective is heard, it does help to have a list of people so maybe everybody listening should reach out to
your local Ward Alderman if you're interested in volunteering or being involved or anything like that. Then as
Ward Aldermen, we can make sure that our residents are heard and are on these committees and on these
boards.
