REMARKS BY THE ALDERMEN
Alderwoman Lu
| did have one question. Just in the Melanson Memo, why did we vote for those expenditures under
$50,000.00? | thought they weren’t ‘usually included, | thought...
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
It's $10,000.00 isn’t it?
Vice-Chairman Klee
| believe its $25,000.00 and truthfully, | think it comes when there’s a grouping of them. Perhaps Mr. Griffin
can explain this. But oftentimes when there’s small amounts that add about to larger amounts, just out of
courtesy we get these this type of information. Am | correct, Mr. Griffin?
John Griffin, CFO
Yes that’s true. Just so it wasn’t so unclear it was the very first one that included a $15,000.00 Change Order
and a $13,000.00 so because that’s more than $25,000.00 Director Kleiner brought that in for your approval.
Vice-Chairman Klee
And on the second motion | think which is what | think Alderwoman Lu was referencing, the Melanson Health;
there is a $13,000.00 and a $19,000.00. | think those are the ones she was referencing.
John Griffin, CFO
Oh ok, thank you for that clarification. That contract is $122,500.00. We just split it up for your information. We
charge the General Fund, Financial Services, Solid Waste and Wastewater for their allocated share because
those are the Enterprise Funds. We are just splitting out where it is charged, the contract value is $122,500.00
which is greater than $25,000.00.
Vice-Chairman Klee
Thank you very much, | appreciate that and | appreciate your question also Alderwoman Lu because it helps
the public to understand as well as the rest of everybody here. So the total was $122,500.00 so | appreciate
your question. Thank you so much.
