The Board of Aldermen is made up of 14
individuals, seven wards, two

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,840
representatives [music]
per ward, and probably all the

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,920
legislative items come through a vote
through the Board of Aldermen. We had a

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:20,640
very infrequent occurrence with the last
election to the point that we all got

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,920
elected. So, we're all rookies, and it's
very [music] open board. There's a wide

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,000
age spread. It is a board that
questions. It's a board [music] that

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:33,640
cares. It's a board of go-getters. We
are now holding live in-person meetings.

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,360
We're working on the hybrid. It's just a
matter of upgrading the technology

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:43,400
within City Hall. We're hoping to foster
more community participation [music] and

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:47,320
give people a chance to come in and hear
what the process is [music]

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,745
and express their opinions,
which enables us and the city

if we know better what you want, we know

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,000
better how to serve you, you know, how
to make things

>> more transparent. We have subcommittees

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:09,920
on the board that pertain to specific
subjects, and we have our meetings every

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:14,320
second Tuesday of every month, and I
would implore and welcome you all to

18
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,360
come to these meetings [music] and voice
your opinions and give us your

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,360
questions, so we know what direction to
move in.

>> There's 14 people on the board and 13

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,920
maniacs and voted me president. That's
how I got here.

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:32,560
I'm honored that they did, and I
hope I meet their expectations.
