That entrance gets used so much by members of the Y, all kinds of residents. And then Jon’s facility at the
Street Department, you’re talking millions of dollars of equipment that are stored there that, we’d be foolish not
to have a system to look at that. It’s not $100 — | believe it was $66 and change.
Mayor Donchess
It’s at $56,000.00.
Mr. Caggiano
That’s $56,000.00 for the total; $46,000.00 is for the Skateboard Park and the Street Department was
$10,250.00 somewhere around there.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you, that makes sense, | misspoke and | tried to correct myself. Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Relative to the cost of tagging | Know last year there were a lot of tagging incidents that
our Police Department had to chase down and find out who the artists were to these events. If it weren’t for
security cameras that businesses had and so on, it was extremely costly for all these businesses to have to
clean this up. So | would rather the City not to have to incur those costs on that so | think cameras, and | do
agree with Alderman Lu it would be nice to see some of these cameras in some of the parks especially any
ones that have had some kind of activity late at night and so on. My only concern about putting parks in
residential areas is that there are some residents that don’t want cameras that could possibly look into their
backyard so we have to keep that in mind when we put parks in any places that has residential area.
Mayor Donchess
