The Board of Aldermen is made up of 14
individuals, seven wards, two
[0:05]
representatives [music]
per ward, and probably all the
[0:08]
legislative items come through a vote
through the Board of Aldermen. We had a
[0:12]
very infrequent occurrence with the last
election to the point that we all got
[0:18]
elected. So, we're all rookies, and it's
very [music] open board. There's a wide
[0:23]
age spread. It is a board that
questions. It's a board [music] that
[0:26]
cares. It's a board of go-getters. We
are now holding live in-person meetings.

[1:01]
on the board that pertain to specific
subjects, and we have our meetings every
[1:06]
second Tuesday of every month, and I
would implore and welcome you all to
[1:12]
come to these meetings [music] and voice
your opinions and give us your
[1:16]
questions, so we know what direction to
move in.

>> There's 14 people on the board and 13
[1:21]
maniacs and voted me president. That's
how I got here.
[1:25]
I'm honored that they did, and I
hope I meet their expectations.
