Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. So whether we indefinitely postpone or we vote to nay, if the nay wins, or rather whether we take a
vote and it loses and it does not pass, or if we move for an indefinite postponement and that passes, in either
case the prohibition against bringing it up again is only for this session of our Board, is that correct?
President Wilshire
Yes.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you.
Attorney Bolton
Well, no.
President Wilshire
Well no? OK.

Alderman Clemons
Thank you, Madam President. | have a couple of questions through you to Corporation Counsel if | might.
President Wilshire
Sure.
Alderman Clemons
My first question is does leaving — so on this question if we were to leave the paragraph that we are being
asked to strike in through the Resolution, does that somehow tie that money up or does it somehow fund this
account in any way.
Attorney Bolton

So | am glad to see, as Alderman Schmidt brought up, the project arching towards completion after its 11 year
history. And | think Alderman Jette does bring up a great point in putting forward this amendment and | would
like to explore further how we directly apply that in a way that is most responsible to taxpayers.
President Wilshire
Thank you, anyone else? On the motion to amend? Alderman O’Brien.

lam. So is it clear that I’ve made the motion to strike that second paragraph?
President Wilshire
Yes.
Alderman Jette
Yes.
President Wilshire
Alderman Lopez?

in the plan was brought before us, it was made clear | thought that the money, the $775,000.00 would be used
to either provide some additional recreational facilities in that area. There’s a lot of development occurring and
being planned in that area so there’s a lot more units, a lot more people are going to be there. The need for
recreation is going to continue.
