Finance Committee - 01/20/2021 Page 8
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| don’t have a problem with 6:30 but | agree with Trish, | just don’t know when the execs are going to start. But
| think everyone is pretty much starting within the next week for hearings.
Mayor Donchess
Well maybe we should leave it at 7:00 then and maybe think about it again when the session is over. It’s not
that big of a deal, | was just wondering if we started a half an hour early. Anyone else on that subject?
Alderman O’Brien.
Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Sort of like in the wait, can we just kind of table it, it’s not a bad idea, | am not really
against it. But put in the back burner for now, let us get our feet set, because as you know with the COVID
everything is totally different and that’s even true up at the State Legislature. So we are under new things, so
let’s try it for a little bit and maybe make a decision in a month on this matter.
Alderman Klee
We are also missing two members.
Alderwoman Kelly
| would like the meeting as well.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Kelly?
Alderwoman Kelly
| can do flexible but 7:00 is better for me, the little ones are usually in bed by 7:00.
Mayor Donchess
Alright we are going to leave it at 7:00. | just wanted to throw it out there and see what people thought; only if
there were a very clear answer of 6:30 | think we could change it. Alright, any other General Discussion?
(There was none.)
