Nay: 0
Abstained: Alderman Tencza 1
MOTION CARRIED
Alderman Klee
The comment that | want to make is that from the beginning, this portion was just to authorize the Mayor to be able to do
it. | think the 2.5 that was put in there not to exceed was because that was a request of the bond. My hope from the
beginning is that it would always be less than that. That's why that dollar figure was put into to this - the not to exceed on
it. So | just want to make that clear that we're not giving - from the beginning, when we're not authorizing the Mayor to
take $2.5 million and going to buy this property. We still would have had to have a two thirds vote on a bond of some sort.
So we would have needed the 10 on that. | believe this is just a need of a simple majority and so on.
