Mr. Jack Cavalenes, 1043 Wicke Avenue, addressed the City
Council stating that he has lived here for over 32 years;
we are a middle class, working class community; when the
City says they are going to disrupt their lives with a
new development and the people object, they are called
NIMBY (not in my backyard) ; they come to these meetings
because there are issues that concern them and their
lives; some of the Aldermen are NIMBYs themselves;
remember these people are going to speak out and vote.
Mr. Carmen Sarlo, 3051 Scott Street, addressed the City
Council, and commended Police Chief Ryan as well as the
Aldermen of the 2nd, 5th and 7th Wards.
A resident at 480 North East River Road, addressed the
city Council stating that a number of the Aldermen have
an opportunity to right a wrong that was done two (2)
weeks ago regarding 170 North East River Road; you
exceeded your authority when you approved the Insignia
project; if you want to avoid litigation, it is time to
do what is morally and legally right.
Mr. Wayne Serbin, 835 Pearson Street, addressed the City
Council stating that he does a lot of walking; it is the
best exercise; it is free of charge; he hasn't been able
to walk on Lee Street because of the snow; people don't
shovel their walks.
A resident of Essex, Connecticut, addressed the City
Council stating that he has been following the
controversy about North East River Road; this is a
special area for me; he is writing a book and is a poet;
he loves this area; it reminds him of his hometown in
Connecticut; he hates to see area loose its beauty.
Mrs. Madlan McKernan, 1920 Andy Lane, addressed the City
Council requesting that the City clean up all the snow
piles left from the recent snow fall; they are not too
busy now; she does want to commend the City for having
the foresight to see that the streets were salted and
plowed, but can't you now clean up the mess.
A resident at 310 North East River Road addressed the
City Council encouraging all of the Aldermen to rethink
their decision regarding 170 North East River Road before
it goes to court.

the afternoon and evening events on that day; The Mad
Bomber has done the fireworks for the past ten years or
so and they are offering to hold their price for the next
three (3) years; we did get another proposal but it was
several thousand dollars more; we are under the gun .
