Board of Aldermen — 5/23/17 Page 7
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
At the Human Affairs meeting, it was brought to our attention that it’s anticipated that the federal government
will be level funding for this award. Because it is a formula, we’re not sure exactly what our numbers are going
to be. At the end of this legislation, there’s wording that allows to adjust the numbers to reflect any increase or
decrease we get. Also, Economic Development requested instead of putting $15,000 into the Micro Enterprise
fund which has around $43,000 in it that that be combined with the money that requested for the fire station.
That was the priority this year. That was the two changes that came out of committee. Thank you.
Alderman Wilshire

The majority of this work is at the Fairgrounds Middle School. As was addressed by Mr. Smith when he was
here before the Budget Review Committee, parts of the roof are being held down by heavy tires. It’s in
immediate need of repair. A smaller part covers a small piece of roof on the Ledge Street Elementary School.
A Viva Voce Roll Call was taken, which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman Wilshire, Alderman Clemons, Alderman Deane
Alderman Cookson, Alderman Dowd, Alderman Caron
Alderman Siegel, Alderman Schoneman, Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Alderman McGuinness, Alderman LeBrun, Alderman Moriarty,
Alderman O’Brien, Alderman Lopez, Alderman McCarthy 15
Nay: 0
