<br />A public hearing was held at this time on the resolution. Mr. Patrick McMahon of the Department
<br />of Public Works, indicated that the city has received a grant from the Economic Development
<br />Administration for approximately 80% of the project costs of the White Water Way construction. He
<br />stated that one of the requirements was that the city agree to paying promptly the amount due as
<br />its share and to complete construction within the amount approved. Mr. Gene Evans, Executive
<br />Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, wondered if the resolution should be amended to
<br />include a phrase such as "following the approval of the Economic Development Administration, the
<br />city agrees to successfully complete the project ". Mr. McMahon indicated that the resolution was
<br />drafted in accordance with the wording received from the EDA. He stated that the city would not
<br />actually commit itself until the funds were received. He stressed that the resolution was merely
<br />an explanation of intent.
<br />Councilman Miller made a motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Councilman Szymkowiak. The
<br />resolution was adopted by a rollcall vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller,
<br />Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Nemeth, Newburn and Parent).
