Flanked by supporters, well-wishers and friends, former City Councilor Mike Minozzi enters the meeting hall at San Marco Catholic Church Thursday for a surprise roast. Minozzi, who had no idea he was attending an event in his honor, was greeted by roughly 100 friends, city staffers and fellow councilors. After eight years on City Council, Minozzi stepped down in March when his term-limited tenure ran out.
