Alderman Cookson
The practice throughout the city is that we alternate lights; one on and one off and in this case you would
have three consecutive lights lit and I’m not sure if that’s a big deal or not.
President McCarthy
We typically go off script when it comes to streetlights.
Alderman Dowd
After reading the minutes of the Infrastructure meeting, | went through that intersection at night. | think with
the new LED lights that those two lights would be intense enough for that intersection. If you put in three
LED’s you might have neighbors complaining about it being too light.
Alderman Clemons
Regarding the Personnel & Administrative Affairs Committee meeting last night, | will take responsibility for
the public not being able to hear. We had a very heated crowd there who were not in favor of the
legislation that we had passed. There was some confusion and even Alderman LeBrun received an e-mail
yesterday that the meeting had been cancelled. To compound that problem we had moved the meeting to
an earlier time to facilitate a heavy schedule. | suppose the discussion could have been handled more
appropriately however | do believe that the public needs to speak at the committee meetings and ask
questions of us as well. As far as that practice goes | won’t be changing that.
Alderman Wilshire
| wanted to thank the Mayor for the two excellent appointments he brought forward tonight and the Board
for confirming both. | have high respect for both individuals who were confirmed tonight. | also wanted to
thank Mr. Cote for brining those concerns to the Board.
Inaudible from a member of the audience.
