Just a quick question about the wording. I'm unfamiliar typically, | thought, I've always seen accept and appropriate funds
as they come in. But R-21-168 and 169 have different phrasing that made me wonder where the money was coming from
because there's no acceptance. Perhaps Corporation, Legal could just help me out here.
Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel
There is no grant which requires us to accept conditions. This is money that is coming to us because we brought suit
against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and so forth. This as Alderman Jette said, this is the payment resulting from
the settlement of one case. There will be many more, but it is not similar to things you've seen before which require
acceptance of grant conditions.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay, thank you. If |! could just tag on to the next one is that also the case with that? The money is actually coming into
the city with R-21-169 from Liberty Utilities.
Steve Bolton, Corporation Counsel
That's different in another way. Basically, Liberty Utilities wants to access some city property to go work on its own
distribution system. While they've got the trench open, we want to make use of that by accessing some city facilities
which it makes sense and a good deal was negotiated whereby Liberty is going to pay us $38,000 and change and that
will enable us to do what had otherwise been on scheduled work at a net of no charge. So it's taking advantage of the
timing and it's a good opportunity both for the city and for Liberty.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay, thank you very much.
