Special Board of Aldermen 07-01-2021 Page 14
Alderman Dowd
Yes.
President Wilshire
Is there any further discussion on that motion? Alderman Jette?
Alderman Jette
So are we voting, it’s all one package?
Alderman Dowd
Yes we are just voting for the changes to the golden copy and then the golden rod copy after we approve it
will be the final budget that we will then try to adopt of R-21-142.
Alderman Jette
Having it all together like this makes it difficult because there are parts of this | don’t agree with. | agree
with adding the grant revenue and the grant appropriations, | agree with that. | agree with taking the
$495,745.00 for the Command Vehicle out of CERF, that’s going to be bonded.
Alderman Dowd
Alderman Jette, perhaps | can clarify. After we pass the — so we have the clean golden rod copy, then
there will be a second reading of R-21-142 that you can make other motions then.
Alderman Jette.
OK is that correct, am | jumping the gun here?
President Wilshire
No, | think what we could do to address that is to take this piece by piece, the Police, the Fire and then the
grants.
Alderman Dowd
Attorney Bolton? Do we need to do that or can we just, could those be addressed under the final motion
on the Budget?
Attorney Bolton
Well you can do what most pleases the majority of the Board. But the question posed or the indication
was that it was to separate these things out when it was all packaged together. So it may be an
appropriate way to approach is to do one motion about the changes in the Police Budget which |
understand is two pieces; a second motion that deals with the Fire Department and a third motion that
deals with the grants. And then maybe people will have a better understanding on how they wish to vote in
each separate area.
President Wilshire
OK so the motion on the floor is to amend Resolution 21-142 by replacing it with the golden copy. What is
the Board’s pleasure? Alderman Jette?
