Ms. Fauteux
Yes.
Attorney Bolton
It will close in February.
Mr. Teeboom So you're not paying off the bond, you are going to take the proceeds, the cash proceeds and put it
into this facility, rather than pay off the bond? You are not paying off the Burke Street bond?
Attorney Bolton
That’s correct.

Alderman Caron
You think is that whole staff and their employees, the rest of the employees moving to the landfill?
Ms. Fauteux
Yes, that’s the plan. Yes.
Alderman Caron
So quick question, what do you anticipate doing with that facility where you utilize Greeley Park and you
usually have staff people there during the daytime, like from 8 to 5 or 8 to 8?
Ms. Fauteux

Of concern at the Committee level and was addressed appropriately, | have not seen the final report, but
Wayne Husband, our Senior Traffic Engineer for the City along with Hoyle Tanner, they did conduct a traffic
study for that area of the City. At the time we met, they did not have that final report in-hand, but they did have
enough data to confirm that a consolidated facility at the landfill would not have a significant impact on traffic in
the West Hollis Street corridor.

The budgets don’t include a number of things in terms of structural engineering, Haz Mat surveys, mold
remediation. We carried things into 2020, if this got postponed a year or two, costs would likely go up as
escalation is trending in that way; so it is something to consider.
