ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee

Yes many of the members weren't here for the presentation before and | would like to make some
comments of something that got clarified while we were there. At the Personnel Committee | had
mentioned that it was three-step process; one being put on the ballot; one getting the State to approve the
licenses for the individual organizations, | believe there’s 10; and the last would be the BOA approval. The
last part is incorrect, the approval will come through the normal licensing process of any business.

Board of Aldermen 09-10-2019 Page 12

| have been able to clarify that that actually comes through the Secretary of State up in Concord. The one
thing though that the Legislation HB480 does allow the Board of the Aldermen to do is that if for some
reason this not working out, we have the right to rescind, we have that right. So that’s more or less where
the ultimate decision gets made.

The other question that had been asked at the Personnel Meeting was where would this money be going?
And just like all other lottery money and Keno and so, it will go to the education funding. | think that was
the last thing | needed to say. Thank you very much.

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Dowd

Yes in working with the Mayor, we determined this was the best place to get the $50,000.00 for the
Comprehensive Firemen’s Report, which the last time it was done was 33 years ago. You can see it’s got

a little bit of yellow; it is way overdue time for a good assessment of the Fire Department so then can plan
accordingly for the next 20 years.

And if | could speak to it also please. Thank you, | would just like to once again thank the Jeff Morin
Family. They have continued to be supporters of Roby Park, first with the fields; most recently with the
shade canopy for the playground area and now with the turf for that playground area. As many of you
know, that playground is used by many families who drive there and spend the afternoon there.

Board of Aldermen 09-10-2019 Page 15

The families who use that playground have been very happy to see what is happening there. Again thank
you to the Morin Family for their generosity.

Teacher.

This also includes the $100,000.00 for the Police overtime account. But it is not part of the amendments,
