PUBLIC COMMENT
Alderwoman Kelly
Alderman Gathright, can you just make sure we’re still live. It looks like CTV put up the end of the meeting perhaps
accidentally.
Chairman Harriott-Gathright
I’m not sure what’s happening.
Alderwoman Kelly
Yeah you guys are black but we definitely got that this has been a presentation. That’s why | wanted to make sure we
were still live before we...
Alderman O’Brien
Yeah Brandon you’re going to check to make sure Jim didn't keel over.
Alderwoman Kelly
We’re back.
Alderman Laws
He’s alive.
Laura Colquhoun
Can | ask my question?
Chairman Harriott-Gathright
One second please. Are you good? Okay yes you may speak now.
Laura Colquhoun
I'd like to ask the Finance Committee where on the general fund appropriation detail does the overlay account show up for
the residents so that they can see. I’ve gone through the whole budget and | haven't come up with anything that says an
overlay account. So why is the city hiding these figures from us? If they’re going to be paying out all this money to
commercial and residential people, plus paying expenses through it. It should somewhere be on the budget so that we
can see how much we’re paying. If anybody could answer me, | would really appreciate that.
Chairman Harriott-Gathright
This period of time is for comments Ma’am.
Laura Colquhoun
Well does anybody every answer a question?
Chairman Harriott-Gathright
We're not here to answers questions right now. If you have comments, please make them.
Laura Colquhoun
Mr. Bolton seems to say so much, why can’t he answer me?
