ON THE QUESTION
President Wilshire
Is there discussion? Alderman Jette?
Alderman Jette
So | appreciate the presentation that we have received this evening and | especially appreciated getting the
PowerPoint Presentation ahead of time that was really helpful. It gave us a chance to review that before
tonight’s meeting so that we could be better able to ask intelligent questions. But the truth of the matter is
that we’ve just received the presentation in great detail, all of our questions have been answered, but the
Agenda called for just a discussion on this Ordinance and in fact | asked you Madam President whether
there would be any vote on this and you said “No it was just for discussion”. So | don’t see that there is an
emergency that requires that we vote on this tonight. We are having a meeting coming up that would give
us, that was the original plan and that would give us time to implement this if we so choose in time for the
sign up which may, in fact, be extended. There was a lot of information given to us tonight, | would like the
opportunity to digest that and | would like the opportunity to hear from anybody who is going to be affected
by this to weigh in with me or any of the other Aldermen before we vote on its final passage. So | am
opposed to voting on this and | would move to table this until our next regularly scheduled meeting.
