unanticipated and dedicate it to this expenditure. Ultimately what this means is this expenditure is not
going to be paid for by the property tax base.

Chairman Dowd

Also since this is unanticipated revenue that was not in the Mayor's budget for FY2021, that’s why we’re
having a public hearing and need ten votes to pass this. All set Alderman Jette?

Alderman Jette
Yes, thank you.

The most notable change is the availability of highly effective vaccines. As such, the CDC has determined that

fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where
required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and
workplace guidance. This is based on the science which says that indoor and outdoor activities pose minimal

risk to fully vaccinated people and that fully vaccinated people have a reduced risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2
