But then the other question is do we feel, are we trying to get the ADA compliancy done at the same time or is
that required by Federal Requirements because we have some Federal Funding that we also have to take care
of any non-conforming ADA issues? So that’s two, sorry.
Director Kleiner
So yes, it is required that when we are making the building modifications that we also conform to ADA
requirements. So yes, that will be completed both in Motor Vehicles and in Assessing. They will have ADA
functioning service counters. And all doorways, all access areas into those spaces will have ADA access. And
then the other for the timeline, | apologize on the bid on page ...

Mine is not page numbered but certainly Alderwoman Lu we could send that out to you.
Alderwoman Lu
That’s ok.
Director Kleiner
Some of the time is of these work stations that we are putting in Motor Vehicles and in Assessing, these need
to be constructed by subcontractors. They will be specifically designed and that takes that account for some of
the lead time is these specific counter areas that need to be constructed in mill. The other thing is that we will
be working on updating some our HVAC and some our lighting. We hope to reach out and work with our
Energy Manager Doria Brown to get some feedback on if we can qualify for some energy credits due to the
project as we are updating some of the lighting involved. So it’s a significant project and that leads to the
significant time.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. No | can go back on those minutes, thank you Alderman Klee, because | guess you can get the
page numbers on that City Web Site, it just doesn’t print out on the printout | don’t think.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Yes it does, it prints out.
Alderwoman Lu
Oh alright, well the reason | asked, | understand, | mean it’s great we are doing the ADA but | wanted to just
clarify, | think for some people in the audience, you know, they are concerned, | would think their concern is
“Why can’t we do this for less money”. So that’s why | asked the question about the ADA, it’s not that we are
just electing to take care of these other issues, it’s that when we use the Federal Funds, we need to do that.
Director Kleiner
We are required to.
