So whatever that number, as soon as we decide on what that number is, that amount of money should be
transferred just like we always do with contract negotiations. I’m sure Alderman Clemons knows this from
the past and we put it in a contingency for negotiations so that it can be strictly for negotiations.
Alderwoman Lu

Anyone else? Alderman Cleaver and then Alderman Tencza.

Alderman Cleaver

| thank Alderman Clemons for this idea, | think it is a brilliant idea and | am all for it.

Alderman Tencza

So Madam President, just a point of order, a question for either Attorney Bolton or Mr. Griffin. If this
amendment does not pass, what opportunity would we have if the Firefighter's Contract passes later on in

the meeting to assign this money from contingency back into the Fire Department Budget.

Good evening, Madam President, Members of the Board. So we are researching, the Legislation that
brought before you prior, the Mayor is correct. That was addressing personal days that would be lost at the
end of the year as of June 30". That’s what the policy was addressing, we hadn’t addressed vacation days
as of yet, it is something that we are working on. We are speaking with Division Directors and we are
gathering more information.
