Mayor Donchess
Now | notice that Alderwoman Lu is also present. Alderwoman Lu you should probably follow the protocol of
telling us whether you are in the room alone and etc.
Alderwoman Lu
Yes | am here alone and | can hear the proceedings.
Mayor Donchess
Alright thank you. Does anybody have any questions or comments for Mr. Codagnone.
Alderman O’Brien
Mr. Mayor, Mike O’Brien. | would just like to say that | am going to definitely support this; actually falling victim
myself to Mr. Codagnone’s test that was given, because | receive a plethora of an amount of emails from very
worthwhile constituents. But the thing is, we all heard the tragedies of municipalities that have been held
hostage and other different things that can happen negatively if somebody enters into our system. So even
though it’s sort of like getting a little bit of a warning when you are speeding down the street, so I'll take the
slap, but | definitely support this for what it does. Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And | am going to echo Alderman O’Brien’s words | support it too. And having fallen
victim to some of the phishing emails, the test ones, | most definitely think that it is a worthwhile thing. | thought
| was in my personal email and clicked on a link to Google photos because my niece-in-law just had a baby
and | was on the City Website, | mean on the City Email. So yes, it’s a good thing, it makes us all a little bit
more suspicious and it educates us better. | am grateful that we have it to keep us all in line. So thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Well thank you. And anyone else? Alderman Harriott-Gathright.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| ditto my colleagues. It is well worth it: | think we have all fell short in it.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, good.
Alderman O’Brien
Mr. Mayor | think we need to have a little bit of counseling session of who has fallen victim to this. Can you run
like a little rehab for us or something.
