Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Alderwoman Kelly

So | think this makes sense obviously, | am very behind this. | think it was a big piece of our COVID response
and | think the small businesses really were appreciative of it. If we continue this in the future, is there a
possibility for us to a do multi-year contract and hopefully bring that cost down?
