Board of Aldermen — 3/21/17 Page 22
Alderman Moriarty
Just in case anybody who is paying attention gets the wrong idea and thinks that Alderman Schoneman was
late in submitting this request for this amendment, | can vouch for him that he made the request on the Monday
prior to the last meeting that was cancelled due to snow.
Alderman Cookson
The minutes are from February 27.
Alderman Moriarty
What I’m saying is I’m going to go ahead and support the motion but I’ve known about this amendment for a
long time because | was watching the exchanges and was part of the discussion like three weeks.
You guys only got it yesterday. The fact that it took three weeks to get here is not Alderman Schoneman’ s fault
is what | am trying to say. Okay? He made a request a long time ago to get this through. It just took an
unusual amount of time to get through legal.
MOTION CARRIED
Ordinance O-17-031 referred to the BUDGET REVIEW COMMITTEE
Alderman Schoneman
| just want to say that | did receive this from Attorney Clarke, and | want to thank the Legal Department for the
work that they did. | really appreciate it, and | think that having a formal process to work through is good.
Whatever the timing was, I’m glad we will have a chance to vet it further. Thank you very much.
Alderman Siegel
Now you understand why | said previously there might be something before the Board next week. The reason |
said that is we have a Budget Committee meeting on Monday.
President McCarthy
We have a budget meeting on Monday that is a hearing and at least two members of the Budget Committee will
not be here for that. | would actually prefer to hold this until the Chair and Vice Chair of the committee, at least
one of them, is present.
Alderman Dowd
As Chair of Budget, | will call a meeting of the Budget Committee two weeks from now.
Alderman Lopez
| observed that the legal department was probably really busy working on the amendments to the Planning &
Economic Development Committee legislation. Our process was to send it back and forth repeatedly. | feel this
is a discussion better had at the committee level.
