Attorney Bolton

Yes, the voter’s decision is determinative. It is binding, it is yes or no by the voters.

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you.

President Wilshire

Alderwoman Lu?

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. Since we are going to vote today, | do have a question. Could one of the endorsers or the person
who brought this motion forward explain why there might be a need because if that’s what we are voting on
whether there’s a need....

President Wilshire

then again if it proceeds to the referendum | think this is an issue that needs to have citywide accurate polling
in the form of voting.

President Wilshire
Alderman Lu?

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you. And | agree totally with my fellow Alderman, Alderman Dowd. But one other Alderman who is not
here this evening, Alderman Clemons, did have a concern because Fairgrounds Junior High is a voting place

and that was discussed at the Infrastructure Meeting and allowances will be made on that. And to the friends
of our community who do have handicapped children, if you remember, there is a handicap playground there

and there’s no lane on the other side of the intersection and it has been very hazardous including trailer trucks
I’ve seen try to do that and merge. And then the three lanes of cars get squished into two. | am surprised there
haven’t been more accidents there. But | have the concurrence of the City Engineer for these changes and |
ask that we pass it tonight.
