decisions made by the committee. | appreciate your willingness to recuse yourself but | just don’t understand
that is a requirement.
Alderman Clemons
| am airing on the side of caution.
Alderman O’Brien
| support Alderman Siegel’s opinion on the matter. Everybody knows somebody who works for the city or
different things that come up. We are elected to vote and if we do our job honestly and | think we all do; | hate
to set a precedent although you may do whatever you wish but | don’t there are any legal questions involved
here at all so | would feel confident if you voted on this but | do admire your honesty.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
| don’t think this is very controversial but | would like to point out that this is one of those costs associated with
attrition and why you don’t want to lose talented people because this cost is associated with retraining people
so that they understand how to use the system. Next time people nickel and dime some stuff they should
recognize that there is back in cost that can be substantially higher.
Alderman Deane
People retire too.
Alderman Siegel
That’s correct.
