President Wilshire said. It does feel like you are attacking one section of employees from another and I’m going to ask
you to stop.

Alderwoman Lu

May | respond to that?

Chairman Klee

No. I’m sorry but no. President Wilshire did you have a question?
Alderman Wilshire

| stated my case here. This is not the opportunity to bash city staff who work hard and give the information. It’s not okay.
This is not the...

Alderwoman Lu

| am not bashing. | am not bashing.

Alderwoman Lu

I'll make this brief. | want to Know that I’m not the only one concerned that | get this type of response when | ask
Corporation Counsel for some guidance on Mr. Teeboom’s assertions that these appropriations, these escrow
appropriations may not be legal. This is what | get from...

Chairman Klee

Alderwoman Lu, you just jumped from the TIFF, to Director Cummings, to Attorney Bolton.

Just something that you said made me wonder. Was Mulberry Street moved our first experience with this vendor?
Chairman Klee

| do not believe so. | believe I’ve seen Sterling on multiple contracts. Director Kleiner would you even know something
such as that? Director Fredette would you know? Director Fredette did kind of indicate that this was not the first time that
we had used Sterling so | think we’ve used them in the past.

Chairman Klee

Thank you so much. Madam Clerk could you call the roll please.

Alderwoman Lu

| do have another question. I’m sorry. May | just ask it quickly? There was a $22,000 payment made to Sterling from the
FEMA Disaster Fund. Can anyone address that? | just don’t know what that was for. Was that for moving the Board of
Health back to Mulberry Street?

Chairman Klee

Truthfully Alderwoman Lu | do not know. Did you contact anybody prior to today?

Chairman Klee

Any comment from the members of the Board? | see none. Director Kleiner as Alderwoman Lu seems to have some
concerns and some questions about those things, would you be able to provide that information that she is asking for?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Correct.
Alderwoman Lu

Okay and this week we are paying through city buildings — darn it - $234,000. So there's a little bit left to be done.
$30,000 more? | mean are we changing? Is the price for this project has it changed or is it still $268,000?

Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Its $268,000 is the total amount of the contract. We have paid $223,000.

Alderwoman Lu did that answer your question?

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you. | can agree we have to delay it. That’s understandable. This can also change. It is fluid no pun intended
because of transportation costs. You could come back at a later date because where this project is technically delayed
right now, nobody can anticipate the transportation costs in the future and now. So that may be a change order number
three with this project.
