Mayor Donchess
Are you saying you'd like to get that report before you vote or would just like to get that report in general?
Alderman Cookson
| would like to get that report in general. | don’t think this has to hold up, but | don’t know if anybody has
considered the lighting for the entire area versus just this one specific instance.
Mayor Donchess
We can definitely get you that report and information.
Alderman Siegel
| would note that while it is good for us to know that, that’s a BPW function. We don’t control it.
Alderman Cookson
As the chairman of BPW and the liaison to the BPW, | would desire that you take that back to them. Thank
you.
Mayor Donchess
There’s no problem in getting back to you on that subject.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
I’ve only been an alderman for a couple of years. Is this standard procedure? This is the first time I’ve seen
something like this come before us.
Jon Duhamel, Chief Assessor
Brady Sullivan Properties is appealing some of their value to Superior Court, and we need to have appraisals
done to defend those values.
Alderman Cookson
| want to thank Mr. Duhamel for bringing forward this particular vendor who has the ability to defend cases. |
thought that was one of the selling points of this particular vendor. | would absolutely support this.
