The way the position has been allocated through wastewater and solid waste as enterprise funds is above
board and completely legal.
Attorney Bolton
Yes.
Alderman Deane
The public should know that. People get up and imply things that aren’t correct. Thank you.

| just wanted to confirm what | heard from Alderman Deane and that was the asphalt specs are determined by
our Department of Public Works and those are conveyed to the company that is ultimately going to be doing
the paving.
President McCarthy
Yes.
Alderman Cookson
That would be a question either to you or through you to Alderman Deane.

previous administration’s plan because we didn’t have that information. Thank you, Alderman Cookson for
bringing that point up. | think that’s very important.
Alderman Dowd
There was another part of Tinker Road that failed and they had to dig it up and pave it right, not just skim coat
it. It’s last just fine. When they skim coat, it is very narrow; just covering up potholes and dents. The plows
dig it up. If you do it correctly, it will last.

roads, Amherst Street and Hollis Street, are in really bad shape. | am definitely going to support this. If we
don’t do it now, it’s going to be far more expensive. It’s time to grab the bull by the horn and get this done.

| have a question through you to Alderman Deane. Alderman, you have in the past have expressed your
distaste for bonding paving. I’m curious as to your reasons why you felt this was important to do because |
respect your opinion, and | think | would like to hear it.
