▶ 2:11:43 Speaker 4: have questions about this order and if and I'm not suggesting what the committee does but if this were to pass on to the full board which it may or may not do I don't know and don't really have a position as to whether it does or not I would not vote to support this order unless we have the appropriate people to talk about it because I do have some questions and this does not appear to be a simple housekeeping order I was gonna suggest the same thing and

▶ 2:12:08 John N. Tramontozzi: that when you're dealing with the the school the North Shore aggregate in that kind of money it sounds like it's a pupil tuition type of thing I'd like to

▶ 2:12:20 Scott M. Forbes: hear what's going on with that given the monetary amount of almost $20,000 that the will the committee is to have the appropriate parties present yes I think

▶ 2:12:26 John N. Tramontozzi: We move to retain it in committee.

▶ 2:12:31 Scott M. Forbes: Second. Motion to move to retain in committee by Alderman Tramontozzi, second by Alderman Byrd. All those in favor? Aye. This motion will be retained in committee until the appropriate parties are present.

▶ 2:12:40 Speaker 2: Any further discussion? No further discussion?

▶ 2:12:42 Speaker 10: Further discussion, Alderman Wright.

▶ 2:12:44 Francis X. Wright Jr.: I would have asked that it be moved to the full board without recommendation. I don't know how quickly they need this money. I don't know how quickly it needed to be dealt with. Obviously, if there was an emergency, you would expect someone to be here, but we don't know what the circumstances are. We could always keep it before the full board or send it back to the committee. But we may find ourselves in a position now where we can't deal with this for a month.

▶ 2:13:12 Francis X. Wright Jr.: But a motion has been made, and I guess I'd make—well, I can't. Somebody could make a motion for reconsideration who voted for it.

▶ 2:13:21 Scott M. Forbes: I have three people saying yes on the motion to have somebody present for the appropriate parties and one person no. so the that has it so at that point in time we'll have the person present and we'll rediscuss that

▶ 2:13:37 Peter D. Mortimer: at the appropriate time in the next finance committee i'll make a motion for reconsideration

▶ 2:13:46 Peter D. Mortimer: have a motion to reconsideration discussion oh yes it has to be second at point of order do we

▶ 2:13:52 Speaker 9: have a second oh sorry no i'm not seconding it i'll second that oh second we can discuss it okay

▶ 2:13:59 Jaclyn L. Bird: Discussion? Alderman Baird. Thank you Mr. Chairman. I appreciate Alderman Wright comments on that. Given the amount of money that it is and the fact that we haven't had any correspondence related to the fact that someone isn't going to be here tonight, to my knowledge I would feel better retaining this in committee just so that we don't get in the habit of pushing things along that maybe would be doing that prematurely. If maybe there is information that I don't have.

▶ 2:14:25 Speaker 4: excuse me I failed to forward an email from mr. de la Russo today that said that this is an increase in enrollment by one student for this year and I apologize for not forwarding that on I I thought he would be here but it was my

▶ 2:14:45 Jaclyn L. Bird: mistake in light of that information I think then maybe we should go ahead and forward it I think if the communication attempt had been made and we should go

▶ 2:14:59 Jaclyn L. Bird: ahead and go forward with the idea that we move it forward without recommendation sorry and and discuss it at the full boarding full board meeting which would give us time to reach out to mr. de la Rousseau and make sure he's

▶ 2:15:08 Speaker 10: present that night so now we have a motion to reconsider motion to bring

▶ 2:15:10 Scott M. Forbes: upon the full board by Alderman Byrd yes we have a second well first we need

▶ 2:15:15 Peter D. Mortimer: point of order if I may mr. chairman respectfully we need to vote on the motion for reconsideration so everyone needs to vote yes on that committee

▶ 2:15:24 Scott M. Forbes: members all right let's do that let's vote on reconsideration I was in favor

▶ 2:15:48 Monica C. Medeiros: just since this is going to go I'm not a voting member on this committee but since this is now going forward I would like some information about for the full board meeting perhaps mr. chairman you could relay this in regard to workers compensation how much money is available there and and what what makes us think
