MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-17-112
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Schoneman
The note here on the agenda says the Budget Review Committee recommends final passage. I’m on that
committee and | was absent for that vote because of a concurrent meeting down the hall that | was required to

about what to do about an arts center on Main Street is going to require a lot of debate, a lot of analysis. |
have some grave reservations about its applicability to that particular location and thoughts perhaps about
