MOTION BY ALDERMAN DOWD FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-16-077
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
It was unanimously agreed to by the Budget Review Committee to recommend final passage.
Alderman Moriarty
The bottom line average percentage increase per employee is .8% and it almost identically matches the
inflation rate that we’ve had in the past couple of years. It seems very much in line with the economy and I’m
going to support it.
Alderman Siegel
| also support this and | think the people who negotiated this did a good job and we appreciate the cooperation
of the union. To address Mr. Teeboom’s concerns about the amount of discussion versus the size of an
element of any expenditure, | think the real test is whether or not the expenditure was done in the best interest
of all parties concerned and having property vetted it | think it didn’t warrant pages and pages of discussion
because it was fairly clear based on the amount of information that we had that was fair so to just decide that
we are going to ramble on for a certain number of pages depending on the size of the expenditure is really not
how we would most constructively do business here.
MOTION CARRIED
Resolution R-16-077 declared duly adopted.
