1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Beautiful day.

2
00:00:02,159 --> 00:00:05,600
Um

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,880
going to start this evening off with

4
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,240
some much deserved recognition. I have

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,240
here a proclam

6
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:23,519
I have here an important proclamation

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:25,680
that's recognizing Lennard

8
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,039
Lennox. M how do you say your last name?

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,920
I want to make sure I get it right.

10
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:31,199
» Morero.

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,840
» Morero. Oh, that's that's easier than

12
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:35,280
basiata.

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,680
All right, let's take it from the top.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,960
We're recognizing Lennox Morero for

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,239
exemplary citizenship and compassion.

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,079
Whereas on December 20, a 25-year-old

17
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:48,160
Lennox, who was 11 at the time, was

18
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,840
traveling with his mother, Joy, to his

19
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,480
basketball game here at 7 Hills

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Recreation Center. Whereas while driving

21
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,520
along Broadview Road, Lennox noticed a

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,280
man lying in the snow in distress and

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,879
without hesitation, Lennox asked his

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,359
mother to please turn the car around to

25
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:05,360
check on the individual. Lennox

26
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,560
demonstrated awareness, empathy, and

27
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,560
courage well beyond his ear ears.

28
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,960
Whereas the assistance of a referee who

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,479
was also on his way to the game, Lennox

30
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:16,080
and his mother helped the gentleman to

31
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:18,080
his feet and safely walked him to

32
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,680
Conrads, ensuring he was out of the

33
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600
freezing conditions and no longer in

34
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,439
immediate danger.

35
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,439
Whereas through his quick thinking,

36
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,960
compassion, and decisive action, Lenn

37
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:29,520
helped protect the well-being of a

38
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,400
fellow neighbor in a moment of need. And

39
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,640
whereas Lennox's actions reflected the

40
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,799
very best of our community values and

41
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,200
serve as an inspiring example what it

42
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:41,759
means to be a responsible, caring, and

43
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,799
engaged citizen.

44
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:47,200
Now therefore, I, Anthony Basiata,

45
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,200
together with all the city officials, do

46
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,200
hereby recognize and commend Lennox

47
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,079
Morero for his outstanding act of

48
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,560
kindness and bravery, and for embodying

49
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,119
the spirit of service, compassion, and

50
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,831
civic responsibility that makes our city

51
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:03,851
proud. Congratulations, LENNOX.

52
00:02:01,831 --> 00:02:03,851

53
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,720

Come to the podium.

I hope that referee did not call a foul

on you that entire game. You should have

64
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,080

65
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,080
