ON THE QUESTION

Alderman Jette

And I'd like to speak to that. Madam President?

Alderman O’Brien, Vice President

| think Madam President has had trouble with her internet, we discussed it earlier. So in her absence, until
she comes back, as Vice President of the Board, I'll take over the meeting and Alderman Jette, you are
recognized to speak.

Alderman Jette

Ok, thank you very much. So the reason for this amendment is that the Conservation Commission and
Sarah Marchant, Community Development Director wanted to reserve an easement around the pond, Edge
Ville Pond, or also Known an (inaudible) Pond which is located on this lot that we are conveying. And the
plan outlines the dimensions of the easement, however, the Resolution and the description on the
Purchase & Sale Agreement did not reserve that easement. So | thought for clarification it should be made
clear that we are reserving that conservation easement. | reviewed this with Deputy Corporation Counsel
Leonard who provided the language that | just read to you. She also spoke to the buyer who has agreed
that the conveyance would be subject to this easement. Director Cummings is also aware. | haven’t heard
one way or the other from him. | don’t think he has any problem with this. So! would ask that we adopt
this amendment.

Vice President O’Brien

Thank you, Alderman Jette. Is there any further comment on the Jette amendment? Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd

| just wanted to say Alderman Jette that’s a very good catch and I’m glad you made that catch and | will be
supporting the addition, | think it’s important that we provide that protection on the wetland.

Alderman Jette

Thank you.

Vice President O’Brien

Thank you, Alderman Dowd, any other further comment on the Jette amendment?

Alderman Caron

Yes, Alderman O’Brien?

Vice President O’Brien

Yes, recognizing Alderman Caron.

Alderman Caron

Yes thank you. | also agree with that amendment, | thought it was already part of the project because there

was some talk aboutit. So think that’s great Alderman Jette that you brought it in as an amendment and |
will support it.

ON THE QUESTION

President Wilshire

Discussion on that motion? Alderwoman Lu?

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. |just don’t understand do these grants come in unexpectedly after the Budget passes. So this
is just an unexpected $75,000.00?

President Wilshire

No grants are kind of on a rolling basis. Some of them are annual. Some of them every two years and
they don’t go by our Fiscal Year or our Budget at all. They apply for these grants and they are granted
whenever the grantor decides to approve them. So yeah, we don’t always know when we are getting
these. You know, we apply for them, they come in when they come in.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you.

President Wilshire

You're welcome. Any further discussion? Seeing none, would the Clerk please call the roll?

Given its second reading;

President Wilshire

I'd like to take an opportunity to recognize the Mayor. This is something that he did talk about in his
opening and I'd like to give him an opportunity to speak up again on this issue. Mayor Donchess.

Mayor Donchess

Well | think | covered it pretty much in the opening remarks. All these Right to Know Requests are
cataloged; | mean there are hundreds and hundreds of Right to Know Requests. In any event, what we’ve
got is two people who are going to tell you a little bit about their experience, two employees. | don’t knowif
they are stillon but we have Manuela Perry, is she on nowand Karina Ochoa? Are you stillon? | saw
them at the beginning, | don’t knowif they stayed with us or not.

President Wilshire

| see that Karina looks like she’s still on.

Karina Ochoa

’'m here.

Mayor Donchess

So could you tell the people, | know you're not used to appearing in public meetings, but could you tell the
people about your experience with the Right to Know Request?

Ms. Ochoa

Certainly, Mayor. |am the Administrative Assistant for Administrative Services Division. So when the
Division started, the Right to Knows also started. So it’s a year, a little bit over a year nowthat we’ve been
