So whatever that number, as soon as we decide on what that number is, that amount of money should be
transferred just like we always do with contract negotiations. I’m sure Alderman Clemons knows this from
the past and we put it in a contingency for negotiations so that it can be strictly for negotiations.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. Based on that point, | want to thank Alderman Jette because | think that his reasoning makes
perfect sense. If we are going to have to move it then why don’t we just make one vote on this and
otherwise we are going to have make another vote by the end of the evening. So | would like to suggest we
go along Alderman Jette’s recommendation. Thank you.
President Wilshire

President Wilshire
So the motion before us is for final passage of Resolution 20-023 as amended. Further discussion?
Alderman Dowd.
Alderman Dowd
Mr. Griffin, what’s the amount of money that we need to make a motion to transfer into contingency for
negotiations?
Mr. Griffin
That number is $1,144,325.00.
Alderman Dowd
Ok, so | would like to make a motion to transfer $1,144,325.00 out of the payroll line in the Fireman’s
Budget to Contingency Negotiations so it can be used for when the contract is settled.
