Director Kleiner
Relatively speaking, it is not that much more expensive than the alternative that we were given. But we felt
that it was necessary, it was adding somewhere around $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 overall in the project.
Alderwoman Lu
Ok, alright, thank you.
Alderwoman Kelly
Mr. Mayor, if | could.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Kelly.
Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you, through you to Director Kleiner, | was just wondering if there any renovations being done to the
Aldermanic Chamber. | know we just renovated it and | know that some of the renovations were not COVID
friendly and | would love to eventually get back into our Chamber.
Director Kleiner
| would love you to be back in your Chamber. So to that point, the Chamber came out, in my opinion very well.
And I'd certainly like to thank our City Building Staff for that and that was DL King so we are very proud of that.
At this time, it does not include any modifications to the Chamber which would be somewhat difficult with the
limited space. We had difficulty fitting in the new counter areas for the horseshoe with the limited space that
you have within that room. We do have some modifications that will be coming, they are not directly connected
to this project, but some modifications to Room 208 in a future project so we can create some additional
meeting space. Meeting space within the City Hall Building is a challenge, it’s a challenge for City Staff as well
as outside organizations and we realize that.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone else? Could the Clerk please call the roll?
A viva voce roll call was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Mayor Donchess, Alderman Klee, Alderwoman Lu, Alderman Harriott-Gathright,
Alderwoman Kelly, Alderman O’Brien 6
Nay: 0
MOTION CARRIED
Mayor Donchess
Now if you don’t mind, Director Tim Cummings is here on the third item. He’s got childcare duties tonight so he
has a young son, who needs fatherly care. So if we go to the third item which would be the snowplowing
contract?
