All right, good evening.

I'd like to call the special common council meeting to order if you'd please rise and join me for the

student

of the United States America and

to the republic

which

stands one nation under

God in

the

school with liberty and justice for.

Thank you.

Or deputy clerk Janet start the round call.

I would just ask elders department heads if you wish to speak.

If you could please just raise your hand, uh that will help me be able to discern when you'd like to speak.

Speak louder if you're able to.

And lastly, this meeting is being recorded.

It is not live streamed, however, so it will be uploaded to the portal later after the meeting, just so folks are aware.

Um deputy clerk Janet, could you please do the roll call?

Alderman Eisenhower.

Here.

Alderman

Hale.

Here, Alderman Perkins.

Yeah, Alderman Lewis.

Here,

Alderman Marshall, here, Alderman Grady, Alderman School.

Here, Alderman Ram.

Present.

All are present.

Thank you.

Next is E, public comment on any matter of concern to the city.

If anybody in the gallery wishes to speak, you have five minutes to address the council.

It would be a big help if you could please say your first and last name and address for the deputy clerk.

So now public comment is open for anybody who'd like to step up to the podium.

Also, when we go county supervisor district two.

So first I want to thank the National Police Officers and the Mina police officers and all the officers that are helping us out, the National Guard.

However, when the curfew was imposed, I was assured that the residents of my district would not be the target of this curly, that they could go to work and come back without being harassed.

I was told it wouldn't be a big deal, and that it was just there to give our police an extra tool to uh prevent looting and to prevent cawkers from coming into the city, not to bother the residents that are trying to move on with their lives.

The rest of the Fox Valley has moved on, even though we are not yet in a position to move on.

This means that many of my residents have had to return to their regular work schedule.

Many businesses that are not in Manasha are open until

10

or 11, such as Festival and Walmart, or they might even work at a bar on Collins Avenue, which means they're coming home at like two o'clock in the morning on weekends.

No, I understand that the police have to pull someone over in order to know where they're going, right?

So to know that they're one of my residents, they have to pull them over and ask to see what their address is.

However, he was given a warning for being out after

10.

He was at work.

Um again.

I don't feel like this warnings, warning is acceptable.

I don't know if it was writing in writing or if it was verbal, but I don't feel like it was acceptable.

Because he was trying to get home from work, which is supposed to be a lot.

So instead they should have just said, you know, we're already this person is already living in a high anxiety situation.

He was home during the tornado.

This the police are supposed to be helping, not causing more stress.

They should have said, sorry for bothering

you.

We just wanted to make sure you belong here.

Drive safely.

Instead, now he's nervous about going to work and coming home from work.
