Alderman Siegel
| see Alderman Cookson’s concerns or points. | believe in the past we’ve taken things from the Board of Public
Works recommendations and we actually have changed them. An example being the landscaping along the
Broad Street Parkway which we took their recommendation and we changed it in Finance. |’m not sure if we
have to go back. | don’t know.
Dan Kooken

My apologies. | did tell Alderman Wilshire that | would announce that she was at a house closing | think last
night but | neglected to say that at the beginning of the meeting. So that was definitely an excused absence.
She went to the showing and now she’s here. That was my fault for not mentioning that in the beginning.
