of 100%, so you can say 50%, you can say 30%. | think you need to know the dollars you are talking about
and the amount that the City is going to contribute. And as | say, | think the City’s contribution is envisioned
not to be the lion’s share and not even close to that. So yes, you can be very specific in what properties
will, in fact, be paying.

Thank you. | have to echo what Alderman Jette said. | think that this has been a good discussion. | think
there’s a lot of questions that people on this Board have including some basic knowledge of where that
project has gone, even since the last non-Aldermanic conversation. | don’t know how | can say | support a
TIF when | don’t know what the plan is.

going to be important for us to be able to structure this deal to make forward.

The difference here is that you encapsulate asbestos and the asbestos starts to leak and it is granule stuff,
you can go dig down and re-capsulate it. This stuff is heavy metal, real bad stuff that if this starts to leak
out is going to really and has wreaked havoc. So | guess to reiterate my point is I’d like to see more of a
plan.
