Board of Aldermen 11-24-2020 Page 34
Director Cummings
Thank you, Madam President. For the record Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development. | just
asked that Alderman Tencza make it very clear what the verbiage is in terms of inserting the one sentence
he is looking for and exactly where he would like it so we are understanding what the amendment is. With
that being said, | don’t foresee any issues with what he is requesting and it wouldn’t cause any problems.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Alderman Clemons?
Alderman Clemons
Yeah | was actually going to ask if the Alderman could repeat the sentence again, | just wanted to write it
down.
President Wilshire
Alderman Tencza?
Alderman Tencza
Sure. So it would be at the end of paragraph D and again it would say that “The Board of Trustees shall
require that some Youth Programming be provided for’. And that’s it, | certainly am not intending to
micromanage the management company. | understand that they are a for profit business, but | think there
should be some provision and | understand that there may already be people who are working on this. This
just codifies and clarifies for everyone in the future that this is important to us.
President Wilshire
Thank you Alderman Tencza. Being on the Steering Committee, | know that this has been discussed by the
Committee, but not put down in the Ordinance. So thank you. Alderman Clemons?
Alderman Clemons
Yeah | just had a further question to the maker of the motion if he might further amend to say instead “that
shall require the opportunity to provide some youth programming”. And the reason that | say that is
because the intention, | do think that there should be youth programming in there, | absolutely agree with
that. And | guess the idea there is that if a scheduling conflict was somehow to come up and not work out,
at least the words “the opportunity”, in other words we are going to try with our professional schedule to get
that in there. | don’t know if the maker of the motion would want that added in.
President Wilshire
Alderman Tencza.
Alderman Tencza
So | appreciate Alderman Clemons’ suggestion, | mean it’s important to make sure that, again, some Youth
Programming happens so at this point, | mean if the rest of the Board believes that language is more
appropriate, then I’d be fine with that.
