ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Any comments or questions on the Record of Expenditures?
Alderwoman Lu
Yes | have one.
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. | had asked a question of a couple of the Departments and | am not quite clear on why this is done.
On the Record of Expenditures for the abatements that we pay, we don’t really identify the payee. And it
seems as though according to our Ordinances we are required to list the payees, 5 129 — it says, “the name of
the person to whom the account or claim was allowed”. And the only answer | got was “it would not be
appropriate”. Could someone help me understand why abatements aren’t identified as the payees?
Mayor Donchess
The payee, the person to whom the check is written?
Alderwoman Lu
Yeah.
