comes our way, | think there’s a lot of good that’s being done on a daily basis. People have adapted to the
situation and are trying to work together to make sure that everyone in the City is as supported as we can
possibly be. So Happy Holidays to everybody, thank you and Happy New Year.
President Wilshire
Thank you Alderman Tencza. Alderman Clemons?

And | just want to mention again the Mayor is buying into this nonsense, this anti-scientific nonsense by
taking down my Save Women’s’ Sports Flag and he’s also buying into the scientific nonsense that women
have any chance competing against men in their own sports. They don’t. And | don’t understand why the
Mayor and Alderman Schmidt felt like they had to hide that message that women’s sports are under threat.
Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Next we have Chris.

Ms. Ortolano Just quickly, | am just wondering why the Board didn’t put the AFSME contract on for Public
Works to vote on that. They changed the language in there to eliminate the additional pay that goes in with
snowplowing and contracting and we’ve had a lot of plow days and we are piling a lot of money out that we
wouldn’t have to if you did contract approval. So | think that’s something to vote on or get a vote on that
soon because we are in the winter.
