Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN LAWS FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-20-090, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
President Wilshire
The Motion is for final passage of R-20-090 by roll call; discussion on that motion? Alderman Clemons?
Alderman Clemons
Thank you. | have a question on this. And my question relates to the fact that, and | can probably guess
what the answer is but | am going to ask it anyhow, because | know that this was discussed and came up
prior to us finding out that we were in a $6 million dollar hole from the State of New Hampshire. So my
understanding of this is that the way that it’s financed, it’s through a number of payments over the years
through the School Budget. So | imagine that the payments, | am just wondering, is this something that the
School Department is still confident that they can pay for through their Budget, considering the $6 million
dollar shortfall or should we hold off on this. That’s my question essentially.
President Wilshire
It looks like Alderman Dowd would like to respond. Alderman Dowd.
