Council Minutes of 10-06-2020 us not forget Match, who showed up at the event because there had happen to been a call that came in for Officer DiMatteo to respond to at the JOANN store and Match was stealing the show. All of the children in line for masks wanted to pet him and graciously, as always, he complied. Thank you for that. I would also like to make a reminder that today, early voting started. I do want to say, I went to the Board of Elections at 8:30 this morning. I waited an hour and a half in line to be able to vote. Please plan enough time for your voting. I think it's going to be a pretty busy election season. The line was blocks and blocks and blocks even by the time I left. 1 thought getting there at 8:30 was early because they open at 8:00. Finally, you may recall that I planted all of those potatoes at the food pantry that Council President Jones gave me. I must say that obviously farming isn't my best suit, so I will be making a donation to the food pantry so they can buy potatoes because what I did harvest probably would not have fed the Jones family. But it was successful, they did grow, so there were some, but yes I will be making that donation in lieu of giving them the potatoes. Councilman Glassburn asked for a moment of personal privilege. I have two brief sets of thank you's to make. The first is to all of Council, but especially Council President Jones and Councilwoman Hemann on going forward with the mask project. We had a lot of residents in my ward, which is the far eastern ward, that made use of this. There were some folks who came because there was something free, but especially I got to hand out some more masks at the monthly produce giveaway at Maple beyond the four giveaways we did. There are a lot of folks in need and a lot of folks in need for the first time in a long time and people were very grateful. Secondly, I was called upon a different duty this past week as a juror in the Global Center and the Justice Center downtown during the day and had to do my actual business at night. I wanted to thank Councilpersons Hemann and Kelly for helping out on a constituent matters when I needed to work at night. Councilman Kelly Chairman of the Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings Committee: The Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings Committee met on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 at 8:45 p.m. Present were committee members Kelly, Hemann and Brossard; Council members Glassburn, Limpert, Schumann and Williamson; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Planning & Development Lieber, Eric Lundberg and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2020-105.
