“I think I heard earlier that Chicago had just done this and another community had done this. Peoria had done this. Are they too doing this in terms of groups? Why did we have to do it as a group? I'm sorry, did they do it as a group of cities?”

“Thank you. Just want to make a few points. I'm always happy to invest in our youth. Investing in our youth is the investment in the future of our communities. So I'm happy to participate in that. One of the things I wanted to bring up is we just all, several of us just came back from the Illinois Municipal League Conference. And last year at that conference, they gave us a book. on civics for both middle and high school students. So when I hear somebody say, well, this is duplicate, and this is something that District 205 should be doing, I shared that book within District 205. And they…”

“Alderman Prenti. clarify here that I did not say that District 205 did not support this program. I said that last year when we were at IML, in our bags that they gave us, similar to this one, was a coloring book, two coloring books actually, both on civics, both acknowledging and other resources in the bag acknowledging the 250th celebration of our country. And yes, I shared those books with people from District 205. And I say to you again, if this was something that they wanted to do, they would have. So no, I'm not saying that they didn't want, if volunteering, if working with our youth, in…”

“So I think that that's where I was going was, since we're following those and we know that they are constantly kind of changing, and we also know that there have been some reorganizations at some of those type operations, what are you doing to make sure that we are that we don't get caught up in a situation where perhaps there aren't as many people to do some of the work and do some of the oversight that we're seeing in some organizations”

“I guess one of my concerns has been, and I kind of put this out to the director, but when you're doing the gutters and the sidewalks, at least what I've noticed in some neighborhoods is that we get these wonderful new infrastructure and you spend a lot of money. But some people aren't prepared to maintain those. So when I'm downtown, I think, oh, there's no grass on any of the curbs. But when I'm in other parts of the city, I'm seeing where people have, especially in this new stuff where we have grass and small sampling trees, growing up out of those new sidewalks and alongside those new…”
