bringing that point up. | think that’s very important.

There was another part of Tinker Road that failed and they had to dig it up and pave it right, not just skim coat
it. It’s last just fine. When they skim coat, it is very narrow; just covering up potholes and dents. The plows
dig it up. If you do it correctly, it will last.

field. Southwood Drive is totally gone. | don’t? know when we will get to those in this project, but the main
roads, Amherst Street and Hollis Street, are in really bad shape. | am definitely going to support this. If we
don’t do it now, it’s going to be far more expensive. It’s time to grab the bull by the horn and get this done.

| have a question through you to Alderman Deane. Alderman, you have in the past have expressed your
distaste for bonding paving. I’m curious as to your reasons why you felt this was important to do because |
respect your opinion, and | think | would like to hear it.

| put that number into the equation in my spreadsheet and now at the end of 25 years, there’s a $79.1 million
deficit. How is that going to get paid? This Board cannot commit to any future Board to authorize a bond
payment. Every board is acting on its own, unless you, yourself, have another $37.5 million in bonds
authorized after the current $37.5 million that is before you. So this is serious business. How is this going to
get paid? You don’t believe me? | gave you the spreadsheet. If you find an error, let me know.
