Alderman Jette
| would like us to take it to separate it but | am not sure how to approach that. Can | just make a motion
that we separate it?
President Wilshire
Yes. Sure.
Alderman Jette
And it either passes or not and we can go from there.
Alderman Dowd
Point of order, | think you’d have to amend the motion that is on the floor currently.
President Wilshire
| am not sure we do. We are moving to amend the Budget Resolution with the golden rod copy.
Alderman Dowd
There are pieces of the numbers that are in the motion that | made that he wants to change. So if he
wants a piece of that out, | would suggest he make a motion to amend to eliminate, reduce, add whatever
he wants to do to that particular item that’s in there.
President Wilshire
OK we can do that route. Alderman Jette did you want to make a motion on the Police Department’s
budget?
Alderman Jette
Maybe someone could help me locate where it is in this golden rod copy?
Alderman Dowd
It would be the motion on the floor, the total budget including what we talked about for the grants is
$368,438,438.00. The motion on the Police Budget a portion of that is $241,338.00.
Alderman Jette
| am having trouble following you.
Alderman Dowd
It's that sheet that you got that had the motions on it from the Budget Committee. And if you want to
eliminate the adjustment to the Police Department that would be $241,338.00.
Alderman Jette
Yes | would like to amend the golden rod copy by eliminating $241,338.00 from the Police Department line
item 90120 which would restore it back to what the Mayor had proposed and | would like to speak to that.
