[12:17] you have the
[12:21] floor a resolution recognizing Breast
[12:23] Cancer Awareness Month whereas breast
[12:26] cancer awareness month is an
[12:27] international Health campaign that is
[12:29] held every October the month aims to
[12:31] promote screening and prevention of the
[12:33] disease which affects men and women
[12:35] worldwide one in two men and one in
[12:38] three women will be diagnosed in their
[12:40] lifetime and whereas according to the
[12:42] Center for dis Disease Control and pre
[12:44] prevention breast cancer is the most
[12:46] common form of cancer among women and
[12:49] the second highest cause of death among
[12:51] women although not as common men can get
[12:54] breast cancer as well in 2024 an
[12:58] estimated 300
[12:59] 11,720 women and 20 2,800 men will be
[13:03] diagnosed diagnosed with invasive breast
[13:06] cancer and whereas within the month of
[13:08] October there are also specific dates
[13:10] designated to raise awareness of
[13:12] specific groups within the cancer
[13:13] community and whereas metastatic Breast
[13:16] Cancer Awareness Day October 13th is
[13:19] nationally recognized in the US as
[13:21] metastatic metastatic breast cancer
[13:23] awareness day about 168,000 in the women
[13:27] in the US are estimated to have
[13:28] metastatic breast cancer it's a cancer
[13:30] that spreads beyond the breast to other
[13:32] parts of the body researchers estimate
[13:35] about 30% of early stage breast cancers
[13:37] eventually
[13:38] metastasized the day began in 209 209 is
[13:43] meant to educate the public about the
[13:45] need for more money to go into the study
[13:47] of met metastatic breast cancer and the
[13:49] development of new metastatic breast
[13:51] cancer treatments and whereas while much
[13:54] more common in women breast cancer
[13:55] affects men too in 2021 President Joe
[13:59] Biden designated October 17th to October
[14:02] 23rd men's Breast Cancer Awareness Week
[14:05] lack of awareness and stigma can be
[14:07] barriers to detection and Care in men
[14:10] trans men and non-binary people and
[14:13] whereas the American Cancer Society says
[14:15] people can help reduce risk of cancer by
[14:16] making healthy choices like eating right
[14:19] staying active and not and not smoking
[14:22] it's also important to follow
[14:24] recommended guiding screening guidelines
[14:26] which help detect certain cancers early
[14:28] and where whereas there is hope when
[14:31] caught in its early Lo earliest
[14:33] localized stages the 5-year survival
[14:35] rate for breast cancer is
[14:37] 99% advances in early detection and
[14:40] treatment methods have significantly in
[14:42] increased bre breast cancer survival
[14:44] rates in recent years now therefore we
[14:47] resolve that the connected city council
[14:49] and Mayor Gary R McCarthy do hereby paus
[14:51] in their deliberation to recognize the
[14:53] month of October as breast cancer
[14:55] awareness month and remembrance of those

[14:58] cancer

[17:26] made me feel like I was her extra
[17:28] granddaughter treated me with kindness
[17:30] and love she always helped everyone in
[17:32] need I can't count the time she
[17:34] expressed her love and kindness to me
[17:36] and my brother and our family we always
[17:39] felt blessed to have her in our lives
[17:41] this is why she should be honored with
[17:43] Luigi street sign remembering all she
[17:47] did for so many people in the community
[17:49] thank you thank
[17:56] you Carl B
[18:00] buer uh yes I used to work at Luigi's
[18:02] Restaurant for a couple years and U
[18:04] Marlene was like a grandmother to me and
[18:06] uh she took care of me very well and
[18:09] make sure everything was all right and
[18:12] she take care of anybody I think that's
[18:14] why she was a very kind caring person

[18:19] dedicated in her in memory of her thank
[18:22] you all right thank
[18:27] you Dominic
[18:29] coochi kuchii all right you could say it
[18:33] right because I don't know that I got it
[18:37] right
[18:39] sometimes it's meaningful to reminisce
[18:42] from personal
[18:44] experience I remember Christmas Day
[18:47] 1981 spending a holiday occasion at a
[18:51] restaurant owned by Marlene
[18:54] Hill I was with my mom dad and
[18:57] grandmother from that day On Through The
[19:00] Years whether a birthday party in 1986
[19:03] or various holidays When you entered the
[19:06] restaurant without fail there was
[19:09] Marlene God bless
[19:12] her to greet you and right away the
[19:15] words professional and dedication came
[19:18] to
[19:19] mind maybe some of us
[19:22] here this evening were too young to
[19:25] remember eating at her restaurant I'm
[19:28] fortunate enough to remember so many of
[19:30] those special times her sincere
[19:33] qualities and hard work ethic should
[19:36] never be
[19:38] forgotten after her tragic
[19:41] passing I learned so much about the
[19:44] various fundraisers she organized and
[19:46] the support that she offered to others
[19:49] through a span of 25
[19:53] years when we think of those who gave
[19:56] back to their Community I feel that we all wish that there were more people
[20:02] like her these
[20:03] days I'm proud to have known Marlene as
[20:07] I'm sure many of us
[20:10] are her beautiful spirit lives on as it
[20:14] should the thought of her being honored
[20:17] within the community just seems so
[20:22] deserving I wasn't related to
[20:25] Marlene however she always made those
[20:28] around around her feel like family and
[20:31] she cherished her Tre her customers on a
[20:34] daily
[20:36] basis that goes without
[20:39] saying thank you for your time thank
[20:46] you Jennifer
[20:56] Finch Hello I'm uh mine isn't quite as
[21:00] uh drawn out as Nick's was but as you
[21:04] know she she did own Luigi's and was a
[21:06] partner with Luigi they were friends
[21:08] they would want both one another to be
[21:11] recognized for the things they've done
[21:12] for this city um so for 25 years my
[21:16] grandmother not only ran Luigi's but she
[21:18] did so much for the community from meals
[21:21] for City Mission meals for the Bethesda
[21:23] house um she provided meals to the
[21:26] Clover patch Camp which was um something
[21:29] near and dear to her heart she sponsored
[21:32] the little leagues numerous children's
[21:34] leagues around here as well as OTB
[21:36] tennis because that was the Heyday back
[21:38] in the 9s um fundraisers for the
[21:41] Democratic party were held at
[21:44] Luigi's um she was the first to
[21:48] participate in Tuesday in the park I
[21:50] know some of these things have been
[21:51] repeated um but anyway basically my
[21:55] grandmother did so much for the
[21:57] community on top of running a business
[21:59] that is historical to SKC and for that
[22:02] reason she should be memorized as well
[22:05] with Marlene
[22:06] Hillway thank you thank
[22:11] you Carissa
[22:17] Hannon hello everyone first I'd like to
[22:21] extend my thanks to the family who
[22:22] brought forward Luigi Lane because
[22:25] without this none of this would have
[22:26] happened and I believe that everybody in
[22:28] this community should be celebrating
[22:30] them both because they work together
[22:33] with that being said my name is Carissa
[22:34] Hannon and I'm one of marleene Hill's
[22:36] great granddaughters for those of you
[22:38] who don't know Marlene Hill owned and
[22:40] operated Luigi's Restaurant for 25 years
[22:44] prior to that she was a longtime
[22:46] employee in addition she dedicated
[22:48] nearly 50 years of her life to Luigi's
[22:51] Restaurant she didn't just own the
[22:53] business at this time she nurtured it
[22:55] rais a Fam Family within its walls and
[22:58] created a home for everyone who walked
[23:00] through the doors when Luigi retired and
[23:03] passed the Reigns to her she carried on
[23:05] his legacy with Grace and
[23:08] determination Marlene was more than just
[23:10] an owner she was a mother a grandmother
[23:13] and the strength that held our family
[23:15] together she helped raise my mother who
[23:17] had CP as her own tragic accident left
[23:20] her disabled later when my mother become
[23:22] pregnant with me Marlene stood by us
[23:25] despite her fears for my mom's safety
[23:27] she ensured that I had the opportunities
[23:29] to succeed and encouraged me every step
[23:31] of the
[23:32] way I would like to ask the council to
[23:35] consider that both Marlene and Luigi
[23:37] cont contributed to the history of this
[23:40] city while Mr bagioli bought an
[23:43] immigrant Spirit to into a new
[23:45] restaurant my grandmother was a Pioneer
[23:47] and owning and operating a woman-owned
[23:50] business Luigi trusted her with his
[23:52] legacy and she honored that trust in
[23:54] every
[23:56] way naming the street that would honor
[23:59] them both would show that we as a
[24:00] community recognize the full story of
[24:02] what they built together let's not let
[24:04] Marlene's dedication be another Untold
[24:07] chapter it's important to remember the
[24:09] countless women like Marlene who despite
[24:11] the odds have led nurtured and
[24:13] strengthened our communities celebrating
[24:16] her Legacy is not just about the past
[24:18] but about acknowledging the strength and
[24:20] resilience of all women she continues to
[24:23] be my hero thank you thank you
[24:30] Shane
[24:33] wadell good
[24:35] evening
[24:37] um I just want
[24:39] to we were in fact actually inspired by
[24:43] the other family that there's no denying
[24:45] that we've never denied that and um but
[24:49] this proposal is based on Marlene and
[24:51] her contributions to the
[24:53] community in and of itself and when we
[24:57] first went on this Journey we made some
[24:59] missteps we were very confused by the
[25:01] process we've admitted that we hounded
[25:04] you guys with emails and phone
[25:06] calls and uh we weeded through the
[25:09] confusion and and we met the
[25:11] requirements based on our unique
[25:13] proposal you know and Beyond us and
[25:16] family and friends and former employees
[25:18] we showed that the community supported
[25:22] it um and and they strongly supported it
[25:26] including the people at the the Sawmill
[25:28] Tavern we gave you that letter we
[25:30] submitted it um we didn't know what to
[25:33] expect it's been 20 years since she
[25:35] passed we honestly did not know what to
[25:37] expect when we went down this journey
[25:39] but I'll tell you one of the most
[25:40] amazing parts of this journey was
[25:42] walking around with my wife seeing if we
[25:45] could get community support and finding
[25:47] people that told us stories of their
[25:50] experiences with Marlene firstand
[25:52] accounts all over you know mostly in
[25:56] that Union Street corridor north of it I
[25:59] mean the amount of people we ran into
[26:01] that either used to work there or had
[26:05] childhood memories there or knew her on
[26:07] a on a friendship basis it was kind of
[26:10] remarkable for that much time to have
[26:12] passed and here people have these
[26:15] wonderful stories about her and um I
[26:18] just think based on on her contributions
[26:20] to the community we've presented the
[26:23] information I just think I think it's on
[26:26] in my opinion and obviously I'm slightly
[26:28] biased cuz it's our proposal I think
[26:30] it's a no-brainer to honor her she was
[26:32] there a long long time and people still
[26:35] remember her even 20 years after her
[26:37] passing so I appreciate your guys'
[26:40] patience with us when we were bothering
[26:42] you with emails and phone calls and I
[26:44] just want to thank you and uh that's all

[27:59] the Public Safety Committee came
[28:00] together and convened a special meeting
[28:03] where we sought to evaluate some
[28:04] components of chapter 182 which speaks
[28:07] to the noise ordinance throughout the
[28:09] city um there were a number of takeaways
[28:11] that I'm excited to announce um the
[28:13] conversations are ongoing some of the
[28:15] biggest takeaways were we highlighted
[28:17] the um prioritization of phone calls
[28:20] from traffic enforcement and needing to
[28:23] identify needs to focus on enforcement
[28:27] um also increasing education to inform
[28:28] offenders of potential fines and
[28:30] potential permit processes as
[28:32] Communications or as conversations
[28:34] continue we also identified uh some
[28:36] areas within the Law Department office
[28:38] of how tickets are processed and our
[28:41] need to discuss ongoing uh the need to
[28:44] increase fines or not um but we wanted
[28:46] to remain focused on identifying how
[28:49] fees were collected in 2024 and also
[28:52] what information is needed to file
[28:53] charges and
[28:54] penalties and then lastly as a council
[28:57] uh we uh remained in an equal consensus
[29:00] with keeping penalties at their current
[29:01] rate however one of our focuses uh that
[29:04] we all were in common understanding of
[29:06] was updating chapter 183 which spoke to
[29:09] the nuisance ordinance and the ability
[29:11] to raise the point values for noise
[29:13] complaints uh so next steps for our
[29:16] Council um just ask the community to
[29:18] remain patient with us is we are going
[29:19] to review chapter 183 uh to continue
[29:23] with evaluating the point value
[29:25] increases uh we're going to look at the
[29:27] process of of empowering civilians to
[29:29] submit their complaints and also
[29:31] Gathering how that documentation is
[29:32] going to be used U by the law department
[29:35] and then also we're going to look at the
[29:37] penalty schedules continuously and also
[29:39] evaluate uh ongoing conversations about
[29:42] identifying permits uh for noise
[29:44] complaints thank

[34:24] don't meet on the fifth Monday so our
[34:26] next committee meeting will be October
[34:30] 7th um I just also want to mention that
[34:34] there's been a lot of conversation
[34:36] regarding the violence that happened at
[34:38] our school recently and I just want to
[34:41] um note that I was present in the school
[34:43] during the lockdown and at this time I
[34:46] just like to commend the staff on how
[34:47] well they handled the situation I was
[34:50] located in the cafeteria that's where my
[34:52] staying place was with with all the
[34:54] students that were there and so I have
[34:56] to tell it was uh the students were fine
[34:58] everybody was fine it was a calm
[35:00] atmosphere and I I give that um to the
[35:03] staff that was present because of how
[35:05] they handled themselves and the
[35:06] atmosphere that they created so their
[35:08] attitude and uh Behavior definitely
[35:11] influenced the students even though you
[35:13] know after a while teenagers get a
[35:15] little antsy we were there a couple
[35:16] hours but still and all with the staff
[35:19] they worked really well along with the
[35:20] um CEOs that was prior to the lockdown
[35:23] though but I I was able to for a few
[35:26] hours just watch the internet action and
[35:28] again I want to command the staff and
[35:30] also the superintendent of schools on
[35:32] the fact that they had a protocol in
[35:33] place and they were able to um Implement
[35:36] that protocol in in in that situation
[35:39] and I from my observation all the
[35:41] students seemed not necessarily happy to
[35:43] be there but it was it was a
[35:45] well-controlled situation and um so I
[35:48] can't thank them enough for making sure
[35:50] that those situations they had something
[35:53] in place no one wants that situation
[35:55] however I can say that the school
[35:57] district District prepare themselves
[35:59] should such a situation come up so I
[36:01] want to thank them again for
[36:03] that as was mentioned earlier there will

[37:03] excuse
[37:05] me
[37:07] yeah
[37:09] I shoot I did I'm sorry I did I missed
[37:14] you guys and nobody said a
[37:16] word I said three people he left and I
[37:19] let the red Le you go so we have to take
[37:20] that back I'm sorry
[37:24] Matt I can't say your last name because
[37:27] I it's okay say it for me lofi lofi okay
[37:31] I'm sorry Mr lofi that was my mistake
[37:34] okay I hope I'm not off point uh my name
[37:37] is Matt from Saratoga considering moving
[37:39] down to the United States in SKC um
[37:44] doing a lot of cycling when I come down
[37:46] here and got to tell you all you have
[37:48] the stupidest most screwed up C of
[37:51] streets for cycling I could ever
[37:53] freaking dream of your flaw number one
[37:56] your street streets are too
[37:59] wide great access for cars the wideness
[38:02] itself makes them speed and therefore it
[38:06] is dangerous deadly for pedestrians and
[38:09] cyclists and I will add for car drivers
[38:12] too because everybody involved in
[38:14] Automotive Safety is going to tell you
[38:15] the first thing that speed is the main
[38:17] factor in accidents so it ain't really
[38:19] safe for them neither but the whole
[38:23] point is I think of this this bizarre
[38:27] construction streets I mean you got
[38:30] they're they're wider than goddamn
[38:31] airport runways and there ain't even any
[38:34] caruse on them if you look even during
[38:37] what would should be Peak business now
[38:39] is they're empty and no bike lines 80
[38:43] foot wide streets or some damn thing and
[38:45] you can't find 10 ft for a bike lane the
[38:49] bicycle vastly
[38:51] Superior in every possible measurement
[38:54] to a car
[38:57] you got to make you know you should be
[38:59] making room for the good transportation
[39:01] and taking room away from the bad
[39:04] transportation and that is
[39:08] cause I would say just narrow the G of
[39:11] streets I know what you're going to say
[39:13] well we don't want to have any
[39:14] congestion I'm here to tell you
[39:16] congestion is exactly what you want why
[39:20] because the cause will have to slow down
[39:23] that will make things safer for
[39:24] everybody and it will give the stupid
[39:27] ass car drivers incentive to dump their
[39:30] motorized coffins for
[39:35] clean Progressive Transportation which
[39:38] is
[39:40] bicycles
[39:41] um why do you doing this why do you have
[39:44] these these well I will tell you
[39:48] why your brains have been freaking
[39:51] kidnapped by the automotive Lobby they
[39:54] have been turned to Mush you think you
[39:56] buy in to this crap that you're not
[39:59] supposed to be able to get anywhere
[40:01] without a car well you could if you put
[40:03] the cars
[40:06] away the automotive antic culture is a
[40:14] cult snap out of it
[40:33] our the justification for supporting
[40:35] Israel has been as the morally correct
[40:38] thing to do and Israel is the only
[40:42] friend we
[40:43] have now think about that in the context
[40:46] of what's happening
[40:48] today uh the reason we don't have any
[40:51] friends in the Middle East because they
[40:53] support of
[40:55] Israel and what this isra will be doing
[40:59] they've been using our support and
[41:00] weapons to commit genocide and force
[41:03] moving of all the uh Palestinians with a
[41:07] 75 goal year goal of controlling all the
[41:11] territory from the Mediterranean from
[41:14] the Jordan River to the Mediterranean
[41:16] Sea and now they're expanding into
[41:20] Lebanon uh you are familiar in the last
[41:22] few days Israel has booby trapped
[41:25] electronic devices
[41:27] with explosives innocent people and
[41:31] they'll get a call it blows up in their
[41:34] hand you know think about that do you
[41:37] think that's going to stop in
[41:39] Lebanon it's a new kind of terrorism
[41:42] that's going to happen
[41:43] everywhere uh years
[41:46] ago a on an airplane a terrorist put
[41:51] some bomb in his
[41:52] shoes when you go to the airport now you
[41:56] have to uh take off your shoes to make
[41:58] sure there's not a bomb in them when you
[42:01] go through security in the
[42:03] future you can probably expect your cell
[42:06] phone to have to get checked for bombs
[42:10] the same way your shoes might be checked
[42:11] for bombs so what Israel is
[42:14] starting
[42:16] uh Lebanon is in solidarity with
[42:19] protecting the
[42:20] Palestinians and uh a resolution from
[42:23] the city is connected he's not going to
[42:24] stop it but but a resolution ution from
[42:28] scti for Seas fire would put us on the
[42:31] right side of history and uh again no
[42:34] one knows where it's going to go from
[42:36] here but again the United States
[42:39] is our government can actually be uh
[42:42] praised
[42:43] for up until now uh not getting baited
[42:47] into no getting a war with Iran but this
[42:51] is the intent so thank
[42:55] you thank you
[42:57] and I apologize for overlooking you too
[43:00] um so truly that is uh the last person
[43:02] that we have signed up and at this time
[43:05] if there's nothing more ask for a motion
[43:07] to
[43:08] adjourn move is Mr M second by Mr Farley
[43:12] all those in favor I have a good evening
[43:14] thank you you
[43:26] take for
[43:33] [Music]
