Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-21-166, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderwoman Kelly
This one | thought was worth a little bit of a deeper just overview of what was talked about at the committee last night. So
both Director Cummings and Julie Chizmas were on hand to discuss, you know, how this has gone through. There is a
plan that was shared with us that has been worked on both with community members, and community input, as well as a
number of committees in the city including the Planning Board and they all gave favorable recommendations to this. As |
understand it, this project has been a long time and a lot of coming and its federal funds with a 20% match. If we go up to
the 4.6, it’s 3.6. I'm rounding here, so nobody get me on the two — | think its 4.67 and then above that we would have to
do a 50% match.
President Wilshire
This has been in the in the works since 2014, | believe we were told last night. So this has been a long time coming.
Further discussion on the motion for final passage.
Alderman Klee
Thank you Madam President. I'd like to add that Director Cummings did reassure us that the 20% would be within his
budget and that monies have been put aside for that so no additional funds would need. If they go up to the 4.57%, they’d
have to do the 20% matching funds. Thank you.
President Wilshire
Thank you. Further discussion? Seeing none, would the Clerk please call the roll?
