Board of Aldermen 09-09-2020 Page 18
Alderwoman Kelly
Yeah Doria, so can you just explain so that everyone understands, when we are putting this Aggregation
Committee tougher, it’s not saying we are definitely doing this, it’s a planning portion of this correct?
Ms. Brown
Yes. So what we need to do right now is create an Aggregation Plan and the Aggregation Committee — |
know I’m saying Aggregation a lot — will create that plan. And then the Board of Aldermen will then review
that plan and adopt it. Then that plan has to go out to Public Comment before it can be established. So
there are multiple steps that we have to go through to get this through. So kind of being a part of that Joint
Back Office would be approved in the Aggregation Plan, that needs to be created and finalized.
President Wilshire
Thank you very much. Anyone else have any questions or concerns? Alderman Lopez?
Alderman Lopez
Personally as long as this goes to a vote, | am going to vote in favor of moving forward because we have
been talking about this since at least February. There have been multiple Mayoral Addresses on the topic,
we have had presentations and discussions in Full Board Meetings and there has been the Energy
Committee so | feel like as individuals were are interested in following a topic, we really need to do that and
not try to retroactively catch up when it’s already underway. Doria is doing a good job, she’s very
organized and she knows her material; we are lucky to have her. There’s a point where we have to
remember that our role is to Legislate and Fund not micromanage.
President Wilshire
