Attorney Bolton

Any of you could bring a Resolution to put any question on the ballot that you want in a non-binding
fashion and if the whole board adopts it, we will put it on the ballot given the constraints of time?

President Wilshire
Any further? The motion before us is for indefinite postponement, would the Clerk please call the roll?

Yea: Alderman O’Brien, Alderman Harriot-Gathright, Alderman Dowd, Alderman Klee,
Alderman Caron, Alderman Schmidt, Alderman Clemons Alderman Wilshire 8

final passage. There was a motion to indefinitely postpone, then there’s a motion to table which takes

Alderman O’Brien

Roll call on tabling yes.
President Wilshire

Will the Clerk please call the roll?

Yea: Alderman Lopez, Alderwoman Kelly, Alderman Jette,

emergency.

during the Personnel Administrating because that was one of my kind of issues is that we’ve made the
fines much lower, now the State does say “up to” so it could be $0. It does not have to be $250.00 it
does not have to be $500.00 they put the words “up to $250.00”. The third offense does start with a
letter and so on and it becomes tougher and tougher. | think the way that this was intended, | don’t
know | wasn’t there when they wrote it back in 1997 all the way to 2010, but | do think it was for the

Alderman Gathright
Ok.

Attorney Bolton

If it’s a violation then it would be $1,200.00 that’s a guess.
