ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Clemons
Thank you Madam President. | believe that I'm going to ask that the maker of the motion amend it by saying $10 million
for the Housing Trust Fund and $1.5 million for the Library Park project. | think he might have misread those.
Alderman Lopez
He did and he regretted that. $10 million to the Housing Trust Fund and 500 what was the other one?
Alderman Clemons
$1.5 million for the Library Park Project.
Alderman Lopez
And $1,500,000 for the Library Park Project.
President Wilshire
Thank you Alderman Lopez.
Alderwoman Kelly
I'll Keep this brief. This came to Human Affairs twice and we had really good background and all of these. So | obviously
am very excited for the $10 million for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund but these other projects are also very deserving.
| think that they all did a good job explaining what this is going to be used for.
Alderman Clemons
Thank you. | am in support of most of this. I'm not a fan of the million and a half for the Library Park project. | think that
that money could be spent somewhere else. For those reasons, I'm gonna vote no one on this legislation.
President Wilshire
Further discussion? Seeing none.
