ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Jette
| am assuming that this contains the amendments that we approved?
President McCarthy
It is the amendments from the Committee plus it was pointed out afterwards that we had put a mushy
reference to some documents in there. The blue copy makes those accurate references.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
If | may, it was pointed out by legal. It was realized that what we read at PEDC, legal hadn’t had a
chance to look at so Attorney Clarke came back and there were references to the performance
specifications for blasting and it said “shall comply with” and “most recent version” was added. So it is
updated that will be done, that was under D5 and 6 and under J “additional prohibitions 6” there was a
reference to the blasting best practices and specifically to the one we had received and it was around
the impact on surface or ground water and that wording was changed to “impact to surface or ground
water shall be controlled by using industry best practices” because we can’t attach something to an
ordinance. So anything that is amended will just refer to the best practices at the time. And again
those were the recommendations from Attorney Clarke. Director Marchant looked at those and was in
agreement with that wording.
Alderman Dowd
I’m glad that we went over the changes in the amendments because I’m sitting here in former
Alderman Chasse’s chair and | was getting vibes from his memory that if we didn’t explain the
amendments that he’d have been concerned.
