Alderwoman Kelly

| generally don’t weigh in on Federal things but it was an incredible historic day today with the Inauguration of
our new President Biden and our very first woman of color as Vice President. It definitely brought tears to my
eyes. So | really appreciate everything and am looking forward to what is ahead.

Mayor Donchess

OK thank you. Alderman O’Brien?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| don’t have a problem with 6:30 but | agree with Trish, | just don’t know when the execs are going to start. But
| think everyone is pretty much starting within the next week for hearings.

Mayor Donchess

Well maybe we should leave it at 7:00 then and maybe think about it again when the session is over. It’s not
that big of a deal, | was just wondering if we started a half an hour early. Anyone else on that subject?
Alderman O’Brien.

Alderman Klee

Thank you Mr. Mayor. My question actually is right in line with what Alderman O’Brien was asking. | am sorry
Mr. Cinfo, you might not be able to answer this question. But my question is, are we using similar softwares in
both locations, because | don’t know whether or not you can get a bulk deal saying the City is buying this and
so on. And then my second question to this is, this was already in the Budget correct? We are not adding
additional funds to use, your budgeted funds?

Mr. Cinfo
