Board of Aldermen 01-25-2022 Page 12
Alderman Sullivan
Thank you Madam President. | was going to make a motion to definitely postpone this vote until the February 8'" meeting
just to get a chance. It’s a big contract - give a chance to the Board. We just looked at it last night for the first time. We
did get answers and since we are inside the window, | would like to make that motion to see if we could definitely
postpone that vote until...
President Wilshire
Indefinite postponement means we're killing it.
Alderman Sullivan
I’m sorry — definitely postponement.
President Wilshire
You can definitely postpone it to a time certain, is that true? Thank you. Until February...
Alderman Sullivan
February 8'". | want to make sure that we’re inside the window so that this doesn’t expire. Thank you.
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SULLIVAN TO DEFINITELY POSTPONE R-22-001
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
Again, just to reiterate that we’re not in a position where we can renegotiate the contract. It’s either a vote up or a vote
down based on the cost of the contract. So I’m not sure what questions could be answered by the public that would affect
this.
President Wilshire
So this is only debatable to the time of the consideration.
Alderman Comeau
Thank you Madam President. Just to agree with Alderman Sullivan, | think that we might not know what questions we
want to ask yet because a lot of people haven't had time to review it. Again, some people saw this for the first time last
night. | think that the definite postponement to the February 8" meeting is prudent and will give us time to make sure that
it’s properly reviewed and vetted before we vote to pass it.
President Wilshire
