Alderman Harriott-Gathright
| have a question. My question is, who owns the PAL building?
Alderman Lopez
Nobody. It is owned by a non-profit which is basically, there’s a Board of Directors that oversees it, but
there isn’t anybody who owns it.
President Wilshire
The non-profit owns it.
Alderman Lopez
OK the non-profit owns but there’s not like Shaun Nelson is not owning it, it’s a shared responsibility.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Just curious.
President Wilshire
Further discussion; the motion before us is for final passage of Resolution 20-015.
Alderman Jette
Did we vote on suspending the rules, did we already do that?
Attorney Bolton
The President says, “unless anyone objects” and no one objected so that’s the same thing as a unanimous
vote.
Alderman Jette
Thank you.
President Wilshire
The motion is for final passage; further discussion?
Alderwoman Lu
Would it be possible to amend the Resolution to transfer money from a contingency to the building
department to cover those fees? Do we have money in contingency?
President Wilshire
Why would that matter, it’s still, it's a wash. It would be a wash.
Alderman Dowd
The monies that we are talking about are in lieu of revenue coming in. So expending money out of, it’s
going to be like a double hit. We are just not realizing an income because we are waiving the fee.
