ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Kelly
| just wanted to comment, | think that the proposed narrowing of scope makes this a little bit more tangible,
so | am definitely going to support this. | still think that we should consider what that Chief Assessor looks
like later down the road, but that’s for Budget Committee.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
| am going to support this but | am concerned and am going to be looking at what the impact is of not
having a Chief Assessor. In terms of it being cost-neutral now | understand that, but | think we also need to
look at what a contract with a private firm might cost the City. So | think that is something that we need to
look at it moving forward. Do we actually hire someone or do we go forward with a contract. Thank you.
Alderman Klee
| want to kind of reiterate what Alderman Melizzi-Golja said as well as Alderwoman Kelly had said. | agree,
| would like to see a little bit more oversight directly within that organization. But I’m happy to pass this and
as long as we are getting updated reports and so on and make decisions later as we go on. Thank you.
MOTION CARRIED
Ordinance O-19-040 declared duly adopted as amended.
