of activate that walk and get people to do that, think about that. Maybe you already have, you probably already

Yes Mr. Mayor, | was just wondering if you knew much more about the roof and if that is something we are
going to have to do before, | want to make sure | was clear.
Mayor Donchess

So | guess my question is are they doing enough construction that what if that were to occur, that we would
have to find a brewery to go in there, do you Know what | mean? It seems like that’s an intense amount of
construction. We can’t suddenly sell it to someone as office space.

When you read the contract it says that we are responsible for the removal of the old desk and the addition of
new electrical wiring. It says that in the contract. Is the City going to pay for that, is the Library, | guess that
would be the City paying for it as well. But do we have a plan in place to take care of that because | imagine
that is at least a little bit of work.

To that point, an air bag is very thin until you put air in it so it slides into things and as it expands it can move
things. They are a pretty useful tool.
Alderman Laws
| imagine it reduces potential damage to property.
Deputy Kerrigan
Yes.
Alderman Laws
Because instead of chiseling away at the concrete of a building you can throw in an air bag, ok, thank you.

We are adding an additional, in grant funding, about $70,000.00 and the City is putting in about $80,000.00 so

Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
And this is a contract for $502,000.00.
Ms. Marchant

but if somebody had a good excuse and say “I lost it” are we missing a potential opportunity? So my question
directly is what is our procedure when this occurs in the bidding process?
Ms. Marchant

| think we should put something in the paper about it to be honest with you. Just make sure people know what
is happening so it doesn’t look like we are trying to slide something in on them. That is my concern.
Mayor Donchess
If this does happen it will require that an ordinance be introduced that it go to a committee and all that.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
