that's where it should happen. This would be no different than if this were December 14" and this showed up without a
rule of suspension. Nothing more, nothing less. It would still go forward.
Alderwoman Lu
Sure. And just to follow up? Regarding my vote, I'm going to vote against this suspension because | do feel that this
body — well there are many things that are couched in. This is a rush and I...okay, you're nodding your head but it
suggested that there's a real time crunch here and | personally don't care to act that way, especially when I've never
heard a word about our interest in buying property at this area but thank you.
President Wilshire
The motion is to suspend the rules to allow the first reading of Resolution R-21-202. Further discussion on the motion to
suspend? Seeing none, would the Clerk please call the roll? Oh, I'm sorry Alderman Clemons.
Alderman Clemons
Yeah | just wanted to be at added as a co-sponsor that was actually supposed to happen with this legislation and the
other one, but | didn't get to Corporation Counsel in time. So if my name could be added to this one and the next one, I'd
appreciate that.
President Wilshire
Okay. Thank you Alderman Clemons. | didn't ask for additional sponsors. | was going to suspend the rules to bring it in
and then ask for sponsors.
Alderman Clemons
I’m sorry.
President Wilshire
