ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
As we were going through the school projects, we realized we would have some amount of savings from some
other projects listed here. When we were looking at the bonding, we realized that we would utilize these funds
and not increase the amount of bond. We had passed this in concept back quite a while ago. We had to wait
until we knew the exact funds in these accounts. We now know that and now want to transfer these funds so
we may complete Sunset Heights Elementary School HVAC project.
Alderman Deane
Clarification on the $228,956.44. Is that coming directly out of the school capital reserve fund, and if so, what’s

reserve fund.

Given its second reading;
Alderman Siegel
Typically | would make a motion for a final passage and move forward but this is a piece of legislation that
requires ten votes and we are missing an Alderman here. | believe that we could go through this entire debate
and come to a point where we vote on this at which point whatever the outcome is and we go through the
exercise of tabling and | would prefer not to waste the Boards the time unless it’s the pleasure of the Board.
So we go through the debate at a point where are all present. Of course, | can’t make that decision myself but
