So knowing that we have these very old water pipes, sewer pipes and so on, I’m glad to see that the City is
really looking at these and doing the best they can as Mr. Hudson pointed out to line them before they become
so old that they’ve got to get replaced and costing so much more money. So thank you for this work and | do
appreciate it.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Just a question about how, well first of all, you know | know it’s very possible that we
will have snowfall soon. And | wonder if they are not able to do the work, then do they just do it later in the
year when they are able to with this contract? Or is it temporal?

Alderman Klee
May | have a follow up question, Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Donchess
Yes, of course.
Alderman Klee
Thank you. So would you need another change order if you have to do a repair or does this change order say
CCTV and repair? | was a little confused on that.
Mr. Hudson
Oh sorry.
Alderman Klee
No that’s my fault.

Alderman O’Brien
You are absolutely correct.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Absolutely.
Mayor Donchess
Alright well we’ve got not only someone from the Fire Department but someone originally from Philadelphia,
we’ve got a lot of expertise on that question. Alright, so any other questions or comments for the Police
Department. If not, could you, Madam Clerk, please call the roll?

Mayor Donchess
| think the question really is do we really need to buy new vehicles, can we leave these with the PD, right. Isn’t
that what you are asking?
Alderman O’Brien
Basically in a nutshell, would another year kind of help the City out. | mean you discuss the points with the
pension plan and everything else. And this may be another avenue that we may look at to cut a corner.
Mayor Donchess
What do you think?

Yes they are actually fully lit, they have lights in the front windshield, the back glass, they have department
radios, sirens in them. They are set up basically almost like a cruiser but without the prisoner stuff in it. They
are unmarked vehicles so they are not lettered or anything.
Mayor Donchess
Alright, any questions or comments from anyone? Alderwoman Klee.
