hard for them to manage. So | will have to find out if, in fact, we have seen a number of impoundments of
chickens and if, in fact, what the impact of that has been.
Alderman Klee
| Know that we’ve had at least a few of them; I’ve been there when they have up to 3 or 4 chickens and | should
say more roosters than chickens, through no fault of their own and even the citizens, because when they are
little chicklets they don’t what they are. So this is not a criticism of that; | just want to make sure that, | just
want to know how they are getting paid. | am assuming that they (audio cuts out) and that we are doing this.
And whether it is in this contract, | didn’t see it in the contract. And I’m not looking for necessarily a number of
how many but are we covering the cost of it and is it under a separate contract, that’s more of what my
question is.
Director Bagley
Thank you, Alderman Klee and I'll find that out. And no, that information is not in here and that was asked prior
to the contract going before Legal and as | mentioned the Health Officer explained that there was so much with
the roosters and the chickens that that wasn’t something that they had added to this contract. But! will get that
information.
Alderman Klee
Mr. Mayor, can | have a follow-up on this? Should we continue with approval of this without that information
and then possibly amend it. | mean to approve this and then amend it if necessary or would it be better to
table this until we got that information?
Mayor Donchess
Well | don’t think this is urgent. We will be meeting again in a couple of weeks.
Alderman Klee
Then | think I'd like to make a recommendation of tabling this?
MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE TO TABLE
ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Kelly
Mr. Mayor, I’d like to speak to that motion.
Mayor Donchess
So a couple of people are raising their hands, | see. Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you, Mayor Donchess. | just had wanted to ask Director Bagley whether, does this contract amount
change yearly?
Director Bagley
Alderman Lue, this contract amount has stayed the same for the amount of time that I’ve been at the Division
for the past 3 years that this has been renewed.
