local government and to me, that's not right. We should be able to perform our duties. Relative to the telephone calls
before we had Zoom for Aldermen, we had an agenda one night where we had something that was important to vote on
and | called in from Lucerne, Switzerland, at three o'clock in the morning to vote and it worked just fine. If you can do it
from overseas, you can certainly do it locally here in the United States.

my colleagues that it’s being abused by some members of the public and that the ability for us to create laws or rules
surrounding what can and can’t be said are and rightfully so in some cases restricted by the First Amendment and | agree
with that interpretation.

Alderman Clemons
Well the motion is to amend yes. So in regards to that amendment, we’re still eliminating Zoom for public comment,
correct in that motion?
President Wilshire
In that motion.
Steve Bolton, Corporate Counsel
You’re just changing the motion.
President Wilshire
Okay. We're just changing the motion.
Steve Bolton, Corporate Counsel
If this passes, all you’ve done is amend the main motion. You still have to vote on it. You still have to debate the motion.
Board of Aldermen 08-09-2022 Page 12
Yes.
Alderman O’Brien
Well we do have a pending motion from Alderman Jette. So after we disburse with that, | would like to make if | may be
recognized. Thank you Madam Chair.
Alderman Clemons
Well this is on the motion to refer, correct?
President Wilshire
Yes.
Alderman Clemons
So | will defer any comments on that.
Alderman Klee
