Public Participation:
Stewart Lannert-
At 4:45 pm this date there was a disturbance on Godfrey Street (the area is surrounded by Lindenwood students). There were two police cars and an ambulance. 200 cops will not make the city safer. All the cops do is pick up the pieces after the crime and sometimes catch the perps which usually get off with a reduced sentence. It seems like the city always dodges the bullet regarding the boiler. West Main Market evidently was not inspected very well because no sooner than they sold it went up in flames.
Don Amann-
Requested to make a public thank you to the Belleville Police Department, Ward 3 Aldermen - Scott Tyler and Kent Randle who have worked hand-in-hand for over a year to close down a drug house (there have been several in Ward 3).
Michael Hagberg-
Regarding Solicitor's license for an energy seller. There have been reports on social media that there have been people out in the neighborhoods to get residents to turn over their electric bill and change their rates. He would like the public to know to not be fooled by a rate that is only going to stay constant for the next two months and then jumps. The City has a good aggregate program which is 05.8 cents and people should be comparing to that rate.
Presentations, Recognitions & Appointments:
Claire LeBland and Rico Walker, from BASIC (Belleville East), recognized the Character word of the month “Cooperation' working together in a peaceful way.
