Alderman Jette
And I'd like to speak to that. Madam President?
Alderman O’Brien, Vice President
| think Madam President has had trouble with her internet, we discussed it earlier. So in her absence, until
she comes back, as Vice President of the Board, I'll take over the meeting and Alderman Jette, you are
recognized to speak.
Alderman Jette
Ok, thank you very much. So the reason for this amendment is that the Conservation Commission and
Sarah Marchant, Community Development Director wanted to reserve an easement around the pond, Edge
Ville Pond, or also Known an (inaudible) Pond which is located on this lot that we are conveying. And the
plan outlines the dimensions of the easement, however, the Resolution and the description on the
Purchase & Sale Agreement did not reserve that easement. So | thought for clarification it should be made
clear that we are reserving that conservation easement. | reviewed this with Deputy Corporation Counsel
Leonard who provided the language that | just read to you. She also spoke to the buyer who has agreed
that the conveyance would be subject to this easement. Director Cummings is also aware. | haven’t heard
one way or the other from him. | don’t think he has any problem with this. So! would ask that we adopt
this amendment.
Vice President O’Brien
Thank you, Alderman Jette. Is there any further comment on the Jette amendment? Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
| just wanted to say Alderman Jette that’s a very good catch and I’m glad you made that catch and | will be
supporting the addition, | think it’s important that we provide that protection on the wetland.
Alderman Jette
Thank you.
Vice President O’Brien
Thank you, Alderman Dowd, any other further comment on the Jette amendment?
Alderman Caron
Yes, Alderman O’Brien?
Vice President O’Brien
Yes, recognizing Alderman Caron.
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you. | also agree with that amendment, | thought it was already part of the project because there
was some talk aboutit. So think that’s great Alderman Jette that you brought it in as an amendment and |
will support it.
