Mayor promotes July 4 parade; resident requests better audio during public comment
Summary
The mayor and city clerk highlighted upcoming Blue Island events including the July 4 parade and local festivals; a resident asked council members to bring microphones closer for audibility.
Mayor (unnamed in transcript) urged residents and organizations to sign up for the July 4 parade and said the city re-contracted with the prior fireworks company. The city clerk read thank-you notes after the recent Blue Island Get More Outdoor Festival and announced several upcoming community events including Blues and Barbecues on June 28, a farmers' market at Blue Island Beer Company, and the AT&T 5K run.
During the public-comment period, Marie of 12738 Greenwood Avenue told the council, “I would request that you be mindful of some of the older people in the back of the room and ask you to pull your mics closer to your faces so that when you address us, that your comments are audible.” The clerk and mayor responded that staff would address the concern.
The clerk also noted that the treasurer’s report would not be presented because of a software issue and that the city clerk’s office is open Saturdays for vehicle stickers. The meeting later moved to executive session.
