[0:05] foreign
[5:05] thank you
[5:31] foreign
[7:54] thank you
[10:56] okay
[11:06] can we
[11:08] correct that yeah
[11:10] we have a list of stuff right here yes
[11:14] any other questions
[11:23] thank you
[11:28] I will go into assessment
[11:31] Ferrari yes
[11:33] assessments uh the total budget has only
[11:36] been coming up 8 979 and it's all
[11:40] you know because of payroll increases
[11:46] sure I honestly nothing else in the
[11:48] budget really changed that's really
[11:50] changed we finally after a year and so
[11:53] many months yeah we have a data
[11:55] collector starting on Monday so that's
[11:57] yay and we're looking for a clerk right
[12:00] now and that's so that should wrap up
[12:02] pretty soon
[12:04] but otherwise you know besides the
[12:07] salaries I'm interested to see so for
[12:10] the past couple of years because of
[12:11] legislation with covet we haven't sent
[12:13] out any mailings or had to do any
[12:15] mailings of big names we're sending one
[12:17] out this October so I'm interested to
[12:20] see we ended up we end up usually having
[12:23] a little bit of overage anyways so but
[12:25] I'm afraid mailings are going to go up
[12:27] and there's some legislation
[12:29] um at the state level
[12:32] that has to do with one of the
[12:34] exemptions we have and that they want us
[12:36] to alert everybody who owns property
[12:38] even if they're not really like we know
[12:42] there's probably people who are not over
[12:43] 65 their own property when the
[12:45] legislation could state that we have to
[12:48] let everyone know who owns residential
[12:49] property about this particular exemption
[12:53] and think about the
[12:57] occur and we have the 15 000 Residential
[12:59] Properties so it's it's
[13:02] nervous about that I think there's
[13:04] enough assessors around the state here
[13:06] we're talking about this at our
[13:07] conference there's not assessors around
[13:08] the state who are angry enough about
[13:10] that that they would try to fight
[13:11] against that just because of the postage
[13:13] if that was to come through then we'd
[13:16] have to find it a more creative way like
[13:17] anything else that goes out from the
[13:19] city to all Property Owners you would
[13:24] I guess that's for something in the
[13:26] future
[13:27] but otherwise really you know changes
[13:29] you know
[13:31] steps that goes for the board assessment
[13:33] groups yeah
[13:38] so is that the only vacancy that we have
[13:41] the well as of right now right just yeah
[13:44] we have two vacancies to get it left
[13:46] around the clerk but somebody starts
[13:48] Monday so they collector I'm not
[13:50] counting that yeah
[13:53] that would be probably I would say
[13:56] three or four more weeks but that would
[13:58] be vacant
[14:00] so whatever that line was this year
[14:02] still
[14:05] thank you
[14:08] should we be adding postage
[14:10] um or just I you know what I I
[14:14] don't just
[14:17] haven't sent out
[14:19] years so it's hard to know I know
[14:22] postage has gone up but we still do have
[14:25] enough because we kept postage the same
[14:27] every year and it was so I think we'll
[14:31] be okay
[14:33] but I don't know it's just something
[14:35] it's something to think about I guess
[14:37] because it's hard for us to know
[14:40] how many
[14:42] because the legislation there's a lot of
[14:44] people that won't need to won't be
[14:45] renewing in the future there's a lot of
[14:47] people that we know probably didn't meet
[14:49] the income qualifications and all that
[14:51] so it's just a matter of
[14:54] um waiting to go through a year but to
[14:56] see because we may have some
[14:59] mm-hmm
[15:01] I want to think of some other ways too
[15:03] and they can clinical tool with the tax
[15:04] bills maybe yeah well this is just in
[15:07] general the regular renewal process
[15:09] that'll happen at the end of this month
[15:14] gotcha okay
[15:18] you're saying it's gonna happen I didn't
[15:20] want to be the decisions of mail the
[15:22] notification out no I'm sorry that that
[15:24] is still it could that could sit dormant
[15:27] for a long time depending on whether
[15:29] somebody gets a priority
[15:31] um but I think we do a normal renewal
[15:34] process we do a mailing to everybody in
[15:37] the past two years we haven't
[15:38] necessarily had to do that because we've
[15:40] had legislation that extended all of the
[15:43] exemptions so
[15:45] um this will be a good trial run to kind
[15:47] of see what the posters will be like
[15:50] um so it's hard to say okay and I think
[15:53] and we've again we've had overages in
[15:55] the budget so it should be able to
[15:57] account for that
[15:59] and it's not the numbers aren't
[16:01] necessarily going to change
[16:03] I'm still looking at the same amount of
[16:04] extensions so if we haven't been mailing out in two
[16:10] years then safe to say that we'll
[16:13] probably be okay yeah yeah but it'll be
[16:16] a good kind of uh reference point moving
[16:18] forward
[16:21] foreign
[16:54] increase that's basically a pay raise
[16:57] just two uh I'm I'm here requesting for
[17:01] uh my uh Deputy uh Derek uh the mayor uh
[17:04] you know had a four percent increase we
[17:07] were hoping to get him up to 80 000 uh
[17:10] that's where we'd like to have them
[17:11] North America you know give everyone
[17:14] this four percent so I just want to
[17:15] write that down there uh there's been
[17:17] doing a great job he's getting ready to
[17:19] you know take over position uh
[17:22] I I keep telling sooner than any things
[17:24] so uh he's lord of the old Lottery uh we
[17:28] had a lot of trust fund he's doing a
[17:29] great job with all the other departments
[17:32] that we deal with which we'll speak
[17:33] tonight
[17:35] in my case it took the four percent you
[17:38] know we're good with that our longevity
[17:40] is what it is uh the other increases is
[17:43] in the stipend uh for uh uh Derek and I
[17:47] we both attended meetings we we're here
[17:50] late almost every night uh when we're
[17:52] just asking the stipend to increase the
[17:54] same as Chris long and so in the Parks
[17:57] now uh the total uh everything else uh
[18:01] pretty much is stays the same
[18:04] and that like I said the biggest Saint
[18:06] Chris is is Takeoff
[18:08] if you have any questions on any of
[18:10] these uh
[18:11] just explain the Feast of service yeah
[18:13] fees for services is is that uh you know
[18:16] that's when we pay our audits our uh
[18:18] Nikon bills we pay our Arbitrage bills
[18:22] we pay our fiscal advisor out of there
[18:24] and one of our biggest things we do to
[18:26] oped which is the other post-employment
[18:28] benefit uh uh research that's the big
[18:31] thing too a big cost of that so that's eats that up pretty good
[18:37] Anthony what was the second thing you
[18:38] said after Nikon
[18:41] trash yeah what's that what happens is
[18:44] that uh we have to have it certify that
[18:46] all our borrowing that we're not making
[18:48] more money than
[18:49] uh our interest rate that we're
[18:52] receiving because we have our money uh
[18:54] invested in Banks or whatever it's not
[18:55] making more money than our uh costs so
[18:59] we have to have it certified that that
[19:02] each uh each level of borrowing that we
[19:04] have
[19:07] some way to get money yet
[19:10] cheese okay thanks
[19:14] go ahead please with regard to the
[19:17] statement so are you anticipating more
[19:19] hours well I I think we've we've been
[19:22] working more hours
[19:24] actually I'm hoping to work lifestyle so
[19:27] I'm gonna say well we didn't work here
[19:29] we attend all the meetings we're here
[19:30] not only for finance and uh committee
[19:33] means we're also we also have to deal
[19:35] with uh of water and soil or all those
[19:37] other babies so if these guys have to
[19:39] take after hours
[19:42] not all departments get those uh no but
[19:45] you know many do
[19:53] so when you meet with these other
[19:55] departments yeah
[19:56] are they on overtime or are they uh
[19:59] mostly without a department heads then
[20:01] uh most of the ones we like crystalline
[20:04] uh uh Joe panjango and uh uh what's his
[20:08] name Paula fine Chris Wallen you know
[20:11] when we meet after work you know you
[20:12] know because really it's a time for us
[20:14] where we can like really talk because we
[20:16] don't have the phones without people
[20:17] coming that's what we do a lot of work
[20:19] as you know Chris was talking about
[20:20] yesterday's all this stuff that we know
[20:22] and the plans that we do the famous
[20:23] stuff we do we usually do that after
[20:25] hours
[20:27] just just because it's easier any
[20:30] questions
[20:33] all right let's move to um page three
[20:37] accounts and disbursement okay uh okay
[20:40] I'm a guy I gotta tell you about this
[20:43] and which I'm proud of these guys so
[20:44] really uh
[20:46] and and there's two things that you got
[20:49] to remember an accounts this year we
[20:50] lost three people in that department and
[20:54] so uh we replaced the administrative
[20:56] assistant uh from 56 so we got a new
[20:59] Junior accountant we just got him we're
[21:00] trained right in the middle of training
[21:02] now they're a big part of that training
[21:03] and we think we found a great guy uh we
[21:06] also got a Percy mailing clerk which
[21:09] started uh this year uh and you know
[21:12] we're teaching her and she's doing
[21:14] really well purchasing supervisor this
[21:17] is probably one of our biggest we are so
[21:19] lucky we found a person that's so bright
[21:21] so smart and uh
[21:23] scroll up uh experience that she
[21:26] actually came from the city of Albany
[21:28] that she went to court alone and now
[21:30] she's with us and she started like uh
[21:33] two months ago and we're really working
[21:35] so uh
[21:36] we're really you know we we were with
[21:38] nobody we went from nothing and to we're
[21:41] really getting this stuff back in shape
[21:43] that's right Liz uh Elizabeth
[21:47] one of the best uh bookkeepers that we
[21:50] have here in the coming so uh she's a a
[21:54] really great person that's great
[21:56] reporting she's just not a people person
[21:59] foreign
[22:12] [Music]
[22:35] 790 like I said that's basically a
[22:38] uh the front panel increases
[22:42] and like I said really proud of these
[22:44] guys I mean you know we're we started
[22:46] we're starting from scratch how proud of
[22:48] the guys that we stayed Derek myself
[22:50] lives in Amanda because we're actually
[22:52] doing the pork of six seven people just
[22:54] uh three and four of us yeah
[22:59] reimbursement
[23:01] so are there any openings at all uh
[23:05] right now uh there is not right now you
[23:07] know uh we're thinking of uh no not
[23:11] so the junior calendar so that was in
[23:15] there that's that's a new position
[23:16] that's his new position uh the the
[23:19] person with their mystery system she was
[23:21] supposed to uh develop into an economy
[23:24] but after a couple of days she uh
[23:27] it's gonna like it so she left oh okay
[23:31] she actually went to this back to the
[23:32] store Department worked for the problem
[23:35] all right thank you
[23:39] yes as quickly so was that so that
[23:41] person who's going to move into uh
[23:44] transition into uh junior accountant so
[23:46] did you collapse that position or is
[23:48] that position still
[23:50] exists no that Junior College is the new
[23:54] a new new position and was actually the
[23:56] administrative assistant was the only
[23:58] position okay and that's what we uh we
[24:01] deleted her well we're we're not funding
[24:04] her position we are funding between your
[24:06] account to take that place okay
[24:08] that makes sense
[24:10] yeah
[24:13] she was she's a 15 year old a year
[24:17] interesting
[24:20] yeah
[24:22] explain a tuition or reimbursement okay
[24:26] reimbursement uh it's actually for uh
[24:28] our produced supervisor and our Junior
[24:31] Captain uh they both uh they both sort
[24:34] of request you know because it's in the
[24:36] contracts actually if you get approved
[24:38] they won't last I'll give your comment
[24:40] and wants to eventually become an
[24:42] accountant for that account which you
[24:44] know we're pushing to do awesome so
[24:46] we're worth the wait put that in there
[24:48] for him to go to school and say with the
[24:50] our personal supervisor who has a degree
[24:54] she's looking to become to get a masters
[24:56] you know
[24:57] we're pushing that you know to move
[25:00] forward on education too
[25:08] Yeah you mentioned that the purchasing
[25:10] email clerk was recently hired yes
[25:13] so just for clarity uh it has our breath
[25:16] next to it sorry requesting Oracle funds
[25:18] oh no yeah what happened was last year
[25:21] with winter when we were trying to find
[25:23] the person we that would be fulfilling
[25:26] an old position at that article and we
[25:29] really only finally uh fulfilled it this
[25:31] year according to 22. so we're going to
[25:34] continue that felt there's more able to
[25:37] foreign
[26:04] they would transfer money if somebody
[26:06] wants to go because that's all if you
[26:08] approve the kid you just can't cuddle
[26:10] right but it hasn't had the opportunity
[26:11] though yeah it doesn't matter what
[26:14] department you're in right okay yeah it
[26:16] has to be in line with your job I
[26:17] understand yep
[26:30] all right what's most paid six
[26:35] Board of discussion over here that's
[26:37] exactly the same in fact I think you
[26:39] just uh
[26:47] keep going
[26:49] is is
[26:53] Human Resources okay listen human
[26:57] resource I got to tell you again thanks
[26:59] for thanks to Derek Bliss and myself our
[27:03] whole in 2021 our whole human resource
[27:07] department left
[27:10] yeah
[27:11] and uh we were able between the like I
[27:14] said the three of us to keep it going
[27:15] that everybody still got paid everybody
[27:17] you know got going and we've not
[27:20] required a
[27:21] you know a like a full staff
[27:24] uh to look at one of the things we're
[27:27] looking for an additional it says HR
[27:29] assistant ips3 as a picked up position
[27:32] we're looking to add and and mostly
[27:34] that's the split for our production
[27:35] Administration and HRS because we have
[27:38] nobody we haven't had a person in our
[27:40] front of our office and so 2019. where
[27:43] Amy Hill was so we're looking you know
[27:46] that we're looking to fill that both of
[27:48] us can use here you know just to just do
[27:50] you know take uh paperwork to take names
[27:53] to answer phone calls that you know to
[27:56] just do uh regular work you know for
[27:59] both departments uh also again like I
[28:01] said so we we have a brand new HR
[28:04] administrator we have a brand new
[28:06] payroll uh uh audit clerk we have a
[28:09] brand new uh personal benefits clerk we
[28:11] have a a brand new payroll manager I
[28:14] mean these people haven't even been here
[28:16] a year yet and I'm not saying it was
[28:18] easy but yeah it's it's we've had a lot
[28:21] of months and you know we had some big
[28:22] box we had some little bumps but we're
[28:24] going through it and these guys are
[28:26] really working real hard it's a young
[28:29] staff which which is a really nice
[28:31] because I'm I'm hoping that and if they
[28:34] take my uh they take my uh look back at
[28:37] me and put 38 years in so so you know
[28:40] there'll be no fluctuation as they go
[28:42] through so I want to say I'm probably
[28:44] the guys that are I've been working to
[28:46] get this through this so
[28:47] uh that's that uh what else
[28:53] we we do have a part-time person for DM
[28:55] salary uh she works 15 to 16 hours a
[28:58] week and uh you know is this because of
[29:01] payroll you have to keep things for 40
[29:03] years
[29:04] as long as the she mostly works because
[29:07] he's doing paperwork in the in the in
[29:10] the back just moving stuff in and out
[29:12] you know
[29:13] huh
[29:16] um so one of the questions that I asked
[29:18] and you answered was about
[29:20] um 1430 the um eliminating the employee
[29:23] health and safety program right and I
[29:25] understand that you couldn't fill it
[29:27] when we want to we want to fill that in
[29:29] the future I mean that is something
[29:30] because uh it seems like it would be an
[29:33] important role and that's what I'm
[29:34] wondering like who is doing that now
[29:36] nobody's doing it oh no we never had
[29:39] anybody doing it oh we wanted to do this
[29:41] and it was our idea and we're trying to
[29:44] bring a person in so that they would do
[29:47] all the uh you know workers comp you
[29:49] know teaching people how to pick stuff
[29:51] up like you know right and vote
[29:52] Department you know instead of just we
[29:55] have this one day a year classes you
[29:57] know what I mean yeah we're looking to
[29:58] have somebody here all the time and the
[30:00] whole idea
[30:01] behind that is try to reduce the amount
[30:03] of workers
[30:05] we definitely want to do that in future
[30:07] with us we just did not have any luck we
[30:09] think maybe the pain is not high enough
[30:11] but we we didn't even get any
[30:12] applications at all and we even went to
[30:14] MVP we're trying to stack people on MVP
[30:16] well okay
[30:20] so some of the classes that I mean the
[30:23] MVP does offer and that we all get
[30:25] regular emails about some of that can be
[30:28] incorporated into yeah okay so it's not
[30:30] you wanted somebody full-time though
[30:31] like because you know oh yeah
[30:44] you know make sure they're wearing the
[30:46] boots instead of shoes you know stuff
[30:48] like that you know I mean that was that
[30:50] was our idea of this but like I said we
[30:52] just couldn't get anybody
[30:54] um we uh we looked at other cities uh
[30:57] City of Rochester got found somebody
[30:59] Syracuse didn't find anybody Rochester I
[31:01] got a guy and they said they helped him
[31:03] a thousand percent help us yeah
[31:07] plus of course yeah yeah okay oh yeah
[31:12] we're definitely we're definitely going
[31:13] to want to do that in the future and and
[31:17] you know we we decided like it would
[31:19] probably leave the HR assistant that's
[31:21] probably more beneficial for us right
[31:23] now than uh yeah okay so we were just you know we're
[31:27] looking at the budget wise too sure how
[31:30] do we save money now yep
[31:33] a question on a formative action officer
[31:35] yeah I know over the years Iran had a
[31:38] you know comes with us with uh requests
[31:40] for additional Staffing and the amount
[31:43] of workload is being increased well you
[31:45] know yeah how are we able to support him
[31:48] and we also have a support staff for him
[31:50] in his mother that's the thing right now
[31:53] is and I talked to the mayor about this
[31:55] answer on you know writes a good friend
[31:56] of mine that says hi you have to tell us
[31:58] you know what what is your job are you
[32:00] the firmative action for the city are
[32:02] you the are you actually running the
[32:04] Enterprise Community what is that called
[32:06] the positive Zone you know it says you
[32:09] know we have got to figure out what
[32:11] you're going to do before we can you
[32:12] know you know what is your job what's
[32:14] your check what is what are you going to
[32:15] be doing full-time right now he's
[32:17] getting through it in the future I don't
[32:19] know like what we're talking about uh
[32:21] with the arpan funds uh with the
[32:23] Enterprise
[32:28] run the projects I guess right so uh
[32:33] so then so it's like a little confusing
[32:35] and we're not sure
[32:36] so is it wrong reviewing the contracts
[32:39] to make sure they are able to be complex
[32:41] yeah I don't think he has any problems
[32:43] doing that I think it's the biggest
[32:44] problem is where his workload is is an
[32:48] Empowerment Center
[32:49] on the zone so we talked so it's a
[32:51] question of um are we talking about
[32:53] roles clarification for the position or
[32:57] are we saying he wants to have his own
[32:59] Department right okay right so really
[33:02] it's really up to you guys if you guys
[33:03] think you need one you know you can
[33:05] always add
[33:06] staff for anyone
[33:08] I just I just thought
[33:11] you know because if you if they're going
[33:13] to build that thing that's going to be
[33:14] like two years in the making before
[33:17] getting going I figured well you know
[33:18] maybe you'll wait a year or two and then
[33:20] you know just really see what which
[33:22] direction he's going so he hasn't
[33:24] requested it is what I'm here
[33:28] and he requested it uh you know
[33:32] kind of like says not yet
[33:36] an administrative assistant you mean
[33:39] that would be him administrators two two
[33:41] other people it was it was a three-year
[33:43] room Club
[33:44] three uh three uh people of the
[33:46] apartment yeah
[33:50] because my phone has workbook definitely
[33:52] going to be increased I mean he's
[33:53] working with the Virgos Department to
[33:56] make sure that they are in compliance
[33:57] for the time they live to be a
[33:59] requirement I know with this hiding on
[34:01] him with the millions of dollars or
[34:03] initial projects and there's a sense of
[34:06] that he's coordinating with the duri
[34:08] foundation
[34:24] but like I said you know maybe you know
[34:27] I'm not really sure how that plays into
[34:29] being the first officer for us you know
[34:31] so does that that's a good question
[34:33] because I know that um at one point he
[34:35] was um uh other departments were
[34:37] graciously assisting him and some of the
[34:39] things that he was doing so I'm
[34:40] wondering like if that you know
[34:43] because I imagine someone's leaving a
[34:45] department to go assist him in his
[34:48] Department then
[34:49] there's a need for some assistance there
[34:52] and then that's also leaving you know
[34:53] some their their responsibilities that
[34:57] they're supposed to be doing too so it's
[34:59] like so it's clearly a need for him to
[35:01] have of some support on that
[35:04] you know like I said this is opportunity
[35:06] to give it to him but with the new
[35:09] position in HR that you said was going
[35:12] to serve other offices could that also
[35:14] help to serve well actually that is he's
[35:16] in HR
[35:18] isn't in charge it was actually going to
[35:20] pick a floor no I know but I know where
[35:22] he is but this is
[35:25] right but that that sounds like that
[35:28] assistant you said I'm sorry I'm sorry
[35:36] I'm clear on how he
[35:38] sounds like to me like
[35:39] you know how to create his own job
[35:41] position
[35:42] that's what you're saying to me but I'm
[35:44] not really clear on that girl you know
[35:45] I'm not sure for Life yeah so that's how I'm telling that I'm
[35:49] talking about
[35:52] yeah yeah like I said it's true yeah the
[35:56] mirror I wasn't you know keen on that as
[35:58] yeah but
[36:00] um
[36:03] so he's asking for his own Department uh
[36:06] he wants to have a an assistant and uh
[36:11] believe it and what's that I believe it
[36:14] was an assistant and an intern
[36:16] but actually uh a a clerk okay and so
[36:21] because you know this mayor talks about
[36:24] various things he wants to do and and he
[36:27] says and we're going to use Ron's group
[36:28] to do this this and this so clearly
[36:31] um he's important to how he's currently
[36:33] running it and it's also looking to
[36:35] assign world with him
[36:37] um and in years past I've asked this
[36:39] question before about why Ron didn't
[36:41] have an assistant and before he said he
[36:43] didn't ask for it America
[36:49] did not give it something I'm saying
[36:51] it's an opportunity that's why we're
[36:53] here to
[36:56] yeah
[36:56] well there were other people that asked
[36:58] for positions also yeah we're turning
[37:01] down so yeah um
[37:03] I think we should definitely consider it
[37:05] because his work will seem to just
[37:07] increase
[37:10] I guess I'd want to see just as you said
[37:13] Miss Porterfield I'd want to see a
[37:15] description I'd want you know Ron to
[37:17] probably I'd want to see and and he's
[37:19] not here so I'd like to talk with him
[37:21] but also see what's the business plan
[37:23] what is what is the the the
[37:27] um the plan just like you said I mean
[37:29] what is his responsibilities and his
[37:32] role and
[37:34] um as you said it you're you know it's sort of unclear right now so let's
[37:38] see it all you know
[37:40] well maybe I can get a hold of Ryan
[37:42] doing tomorrow we haven't come tomorrow
[37:44] by any chance do you have his budget
[37:45] proposal that you can share with us that
[37:47] he presented to
[37:51] um not today not right yeah again to
[37:54] receive something from Ryan
[37:56] as an example of uh
[38:01] we brought them in there okay so we've
[38:04] got something floating out there that
[38:05] would have rationale and that kind of
[38:07] thing I would imagine right because
[38:08] somebody can get hold of that yeah
[38:11] [Music]
[38:30] um you know it was
[38:33] just something we do I just saw him
[38:35] clear it seems to be doing this with the
[38:36] sanction on the sea yeah
[38:41] okay please When I'm Not Looking come on
[38:43] you just go ahead and come on just talk
[38:46] just go ahead come on I guess we'll talk
[38:48] about each other I guess for me I just
[38:51] want to make sure I could have been
[38:53] treated
[38:57] I guess for me I just want to make sure
[38:59] we're equally looking at adding stuff
[39:01] the same way I just happened to the
[39:04] first page that came to mind and
[39:06] Engineering construction at the time
[39:08] they're asking for an assistant civil
[39:10] engineer to be added and we didn't ask
[39:14] for let's see sorry
[39:21] go ahead sorry so in the engineering
[39:24] construction design they're asking for
[39:25] an additional support staff the
[39:27] assistant civil engineer and it cost
[39:29] thirty two thousand dollars and if I
[39:31] remember correctly he didn't have
[39:33] these stipulations for them to
[39:35] substantiate why they were adding that
[39:38] position so I just want to know if
[39:39] there's any particular reason why we're
[39:41] going to ask us that or is this a
[39:43] different consideration altogether
[39:46] I can respond to that I mean you know I
[39:49] think that we've been knowing for
[39:50] several years that the engineering
[39:52] department which has now all you know
[39:54] even all the Opera projects on on board
[39:56] needed that additional staff and that
[39:59] was I think it's been asked for many
[40:02] times before before I was on accounts of
[40:04] living right
[40:05] do you think yes
[40:07] um and in this case I just wanted just
[40:10] to follow up with what Mrs Porterfield
[40:11] was saying I just I think Ron does a
[40:13] great job
[40:15] um but I just want to see especially in
[40:17] terms of this being a new program
[40:19] um you know I just want to hear from him
[40:21] yeah I think but that's I don't want to
[40:23] speak for around you it's right like I
[40:25] said it might be if we go out with
[40:27] things right I'm just I'm looking as a
[40:29] whole I'm looking at the big picture
[40:30] with the city I'm not trying to be
[40:32] personal like because I think Rob's a
[40:33] good guy yeah well I mean that it isn't
[40:36] personal it's about the department yeah
[40:38] so like it says you know with America
[40:40] I'm gonna put a mix on it so I'm just
[40:43] trying to bring that forward but this is
[40:44] like I said this opportunity for Council
[40:47] if they feel that he should have it and
[40:51] I guess to respond to Carl I guess I
[40:54] feel like we've had rationale for the
[40:56] engineering department and also for that
[40:59] engineer that we've been asking for that
[41:03] students I mean we did at many occasions
[41:05] we try to add and it never happened
[41:09] I can recall that Enron came on board on
[41:13] the next following years he was asking
[41:15] yeah
[41:16] I think we tried on on that level we
[41:18] keep trying every year okay we have seen
[41:21] just like how you mentioned how the
[41:22] engineering department is going to be
[41:24] swamped with additional award Ron is
[41:26] going to be sponsored additional work in
[41:27] review to make sure people are very
[41:28] compliance also he's working with the
[41:30] police and fire to make sure that they
[41:32] are oh they're going with you know the
[41:36] um you know minority
[41:38] um officers to get on board those are
[41:40] all additional work on top of make sure
[41:42] that a contractors
[41:43] are doing what they're supposed to do
[41:46] plus he's running outside the center so
[41:49] getting a support staff for him will be
[41:51] ideal just like how we are approving for
[41:54] other departments to support staff it
[41:56] will complement Iran is doing because
[41:58] he's doing a fantastic job and there's
[42:00] no doubt about it inside City Hall we're
[42:03] hearing that outside inside of City Hall
[42:05] of what he's doing contractor is talking
[42:07] about he's helping contractors on all
[42:10] different levels right to attain
[42:12] certification to to work them you know
[42:15] work give them the steps they needed to
[42:18] apply for these uh Municipal jobs
[42:21] in addition to that because because he's
[42:24] doing that it's because the city was not
[42:26] meeting our mwpe requirements hardly
[42:28] ever so it was necessary actually what he did was create it was necessary
[42:33] because we the the contractor said we
[42:36] don't have enough mwgs so therefore Iran
[42:39] created training class so now we can
[42:41] feed the mwps in from this training
[42:43] classes community so it does tie
[42:45] together so yeah that's why so what was
[42:47] what would the salary be well I believe a bunch of them put in I think
[42:53] the salary for the assistant was 62 if
[42:55] you remember that I would have to look
[42:58] at it and then uh
[43:02] so I guess a little bit of my confusion
[43:04] is around or talk what you know we're
[43:07] talking about the position
[43:09] um and so I hear some people referring
[43:12] to it as the position and then some
[43:14] people they're referring to it as a
[43:15] department
[43:16] and I think that if we're talking about
[43:18] an apartment and it's been it's pretty
[43:20] clear that that um we're not moving or
[43:24] thus far haven't been moving in an
[43:28] equitable manner to your point Mr
[43:29] Williams
[43:31] um so I mean so
[43:34] are we
[43:35] the affirmative action officer
[43:37] affirmative action department is is
[43:41] what the parent is is really what we're
[43:44] trying to create here if he's doing so
[43:46] then I guess we got to stop talking
[43:47] about if I as a position and then we
[43:49] should probably refer to it as a
[43:51] department if that's the direction we're
[43:53] heading in and if that's the direction
[43:54] heading then we are obligated to a
[43:57] resource of that sucks right very good
[43:59] okay
[44:00] [Music]
[44:01] okay so I guess um just to think about
[44:04] that
[44:06] I think and I guess I would have to just
[44:08] research this but I think in terms of
[44:11] affirmative action duties in a workplace
[44:16] I think that has to do with firing and
[44:18] those kinds of things at least that's my
[44:20] experience in my own
[44:22] former workplaces so that that would be
[44:25] an HR function
[44:27] um but the mwbe contractual you know the
[44:32] uh review of all the contracts Etc that
[44:34] goes across all of our city departments
[44:37] um obviously the work that he does with
[44:39] police and fire is HR related right
[44:43] um and then the Empowerment Center I'm
[44:45] not really as you know I think that's
[44:47] going to be you know trying to help
[44:49] younger people get into careers
[44:52] um I'm just not really sure yet I mean
[44:54] what that is
[44:56] um so perhaps in terms of what we do
[45:00] moving forward we think about what we've
[45:02] done with some of the other positions
[45:03] where
[45:05] um part of a salary comes out of I'm
[45:07] thinking of like you know ogs and codes
[45:10] right that some of the and even
[45:12] engineering right some of the salary
[45:14] comes out of one Department some of it
[45:16] comes out of another department
[45:18] um in terms of what the functions of the
[45:21] job role
[45:23] um are so
[45:25] um anyway I'm certainly open to it I
[45:27] just you know need a little Clarity
[45:30] there but
[45:31] um when we uh let me add a disposition I
[45:34] tried to recall that we were like where does this position fit since and
[45:40] it was more like
[45:41] we need to fit them in a department
[45:44] gotcha because at that time there were
[45:46] no departments so in the past it was on
[45:49] the table and it was agree that he's a
[45:51] good fit for human resource at one time
[45:53] until we can agree does we already moved
[45:56] from the Iran and that's why it's stuck
[45:58] under here because he's probably been
[45:59] here for like five or six years right
[46:01] that's made a great point I think you
[46:03] know basically what he got like the
[46:05] money was saying really in that role
[46:07] again in affirmative action Department
[46:10] maybe it's called Workforce all right so
[46:13] well I'm going to request since you know
[46:16] okay Miss Patrick uh my can I agree with
[46:18] that
[46:19] the question are we if you can have it
[46:21] here tomorrow just to give us an
[46:24] overview or maybe astronautica
[46:28] so we'll have it done tomorrow just for
[46:30] free both of you not to expect that just
[46:33] a small bridge for you
[46:35] go ahead
[46:37] um
[46:38] is it really present us to create a new
[46:41] department that has to be done
[46:44] because it's personnel
[46:46] can you take that is
[46:50] budgets yeah but there's we're talking
[46:53] two different guys who talk about
[46:54] creating an entire department oh that's
[46:56] true yeah so that's so we want to be clear
[47:02] about that
[47:03] I'm wondering if the I think the mayor
[47:06] is not here tomorrow night either yeah
[47:08] so I mean to me if we even if we do
[47:11] these positions we could still do them
[47:12] here for now and then talk yeah let's
[47:15] hear from him tomorrow what's uh you
[47:17] know his position of
[47:19] additional Staffing and what he's
[47:21] actually doing there so yeah we're far
[47:25] from there no matter what you're doing
[47:26] that guy you're going to do a great job
[47:27] yeah
[47:29] this was under the mayor's office
[47:35] go ahead please so when he comes uh when
[47:39] the affirmative action officer so this
[47:42] should be not be using names no no uh
[47:45] when he comes so under the 60
[47:50] an assistant and the interim three would
[47:52] be at like forty seven thousand Pages
[47:56] 64.
[47:59] 35 so
[48:02] um just what they would be responsible
[48:03] for more media Alpine of their duties
[48:07] um what he would use them for what they
[48:10] would assist in we'll ask him tomorrow
[48:18] I would appreciate it yeah
[48:21] um yeah any other question on
[48:23] a few memory scores
[48:34] 14.
[48:36] [Applause]
[48:46] Eagles are we are we doing better we're
[48:50] doing better but are we meeting them
[48:51] though I I thought the truth can I hear
[48:54] the question
[48:58] so my question was
[49:01] um are we I know Brian
[49:04] um a big part of his position was to
[49:07] make sure that we're meeting our mwbe
[49:09] goals oh so I was wondering
[49:12] with all the great work that everyone's
[49:13] saying that he's doing I'm wondering are
[49:16] we meeting those goals yet you know what
[49:18] we do is when you bring it in tomorrow
[49:19] I'll make sure it doesn't answer them
[49:21] and I thought that was something
[49:25] what page
[49:28] yeah yeah yeah
[49:32] we can have all of that for them
[49:34] tomorrow
[49:35] okay I'll address that stage 14 sorry
[49:42] kind of central printing mailing
[49:46] um
[49:47] okay uh
[49:53] um everything's basically the same
[49:55] exactly the same as those last year this
[49:57] is where we pay all our
[49:59] postages and uh
[50:02] expenses uh further math throughout the
[50:05] whole city goes through a
[50:07] partial person goes through a metal
[50:10] excuse me go through our what's that
[50:14] called 100 the mail the mail itself in
[50:16] this 35 000 is the same one that has
[50:19] last year
[50:21] 15.
[50:26] there's no specifically postage going up
[50:28] at all
[50:30] and last year maybe
[50:32] so far
[50:36] it's somewhere um
[50:44] a16 70 400 other expenses it's other
[50:48] expensive okay so yeah because because
[50:51] that's that's actually paid we we don't
[50:54] use it post obviously we use the mail
[50:56] carrier which is cheaper we get like two cents off for postage that's the
[51:01] other expenses machines we have that
[51:03] special uh
[51:07] the Stamper and uh for uh
[51:32] any more questions on this section
[51:35] can I just ask you we do Central
[51:37] Communications 1650 before tomorrow
[51:46] 16.
[51:49] and allocated insurance
[51:52] yes our insurance expense went up about
[51:54] two percent and that's strong enough
[51:58] how uh we just uh we got an application
[52:02] in for our cyber Insurance we're hoping
[52:04] the space at the amount of 38 000
[52:07] retirement fee so we will find out soon
[52:10] so
[52:12] okay
[52:13] questions
[52:15] so you don't question we'll move to
[52:17] bottom of that page audio miscellaneous
[52:19] undistributed okay expense the biggest thing is uh contingency what
[52:24] makes it 300 000 reasons for that is uh
[52:27] this year too we we spent a real lot of
[52:29] money in contingency uh for uh
[52:32] demolitions of uh
[52:36] we're just trying to take a step of the
[52:39] next year to go higher uh usually like
[52:42] if you look at the past few years
[52:43] usually we're in the 170 and 190 range
[52:45] and we've got 250 to get enough but
[52:47] we've already glued that out of the
[52:48] water so next year we're hoping that
[52:51] it's not a good thing about the cars
[52:55] um how was our effort to collect money
[52:57] from these uh demo
[53:07] so you can't collect anything uh the
[53:10] ones that do you know uh are a lot of
[53:13] Partners right on you know and you know
[53:15] successful I hate to tell you that you
[53:17] know most of these things which are done
[53:19] through a part like arsonists they can
[53:21] pick they pick buildings directly you
[53:23] know people had walked out and they're
[53:24] empty and so on so there's no insurance
[53:27] is zero the answers no the one that has
[53:30] Insurance are we able to collect from
[53:32] them
[53:34] yeah it takes time to visit the process
[53:36] because as you know uh if if we have to
[53:39] demolish it you know the people uh who
[53:41] own the house you know they want you
[53:43] know it's a fight with them in the
[53:44] insurance company us the insurance
[53:45] company end up ownership
[53:48] so does it go does it go through our
[53:50] insurance company then no not our
[53:52] expectations I mean who handles trying
[53:54] to get the apartment
[54:00] it starts with you know it's a fire
[54:02] department sets it out home enforcement
[54:03] you know the quarter forces disease you
[54:05] know we make sure to have them shift
[54:07] they have insurance and our Law
[54:08] Department because after insurance
[54:10] company yeah gotcha
[54:26] our receipts department where you can
[54:29] pay your taxes online
[54:37] instead of us I'm going to buy it with
[54:39] that but now if we charge it okay gotcha
[54:50] credit card yeah
[54:53] the next one here I've seen yesterday I
[54:55] know this was a place called um how are
[54:57] we doing with that movement yeah they're
[55:00] probably also be coming in the next
[55:02] weeks and I got delayed because the
[55:05] coveted with uh Catholic Charities
[55:07] operating through the three
[55:09] neighborhoods
[55:12] we're a winner too if we figure out what
[55:15] happened malaise they've had sicknesses
[55:18] and things with the virus so it got
[55:21] delayed
[55:24] any more question on this section
[55:26] all right let's keep moving
[55:28] all right I'm gonna make sure
[55:33] page uh
[55:37] age 31. again I don't think we did this
[55:40] a police review board
[55:41] but I just want to increase that from
[55:43] fifteen hundred to five thousand dollars
[55:48] was there a budget for that or you just
[55:50] uh I think just I wasn't asked yeah I
[55:54] wonder if it was an Ask wanna I don't
[55:56] remember who it was
[56:09] so this increases
[56:12] yeah we I was told traveling training
[56:16] okay yeah thank you
[56:20] any other short question
[56:22] let's keep moving is uh 34.
[56:29] all the way to the bottom
[56:31] uh
[56:38] you want to make sure we step on
[56:40] everything yeah it's not your services
[56:45] the country services that is we uh
[56:52] news
[56:54] we need us to buy a bit of rent for uh
[56:58] each of the veteran Halls oh yeah and so
[57:01] we've supplied them with uh
[57:03] support for you nice yeah that's great I
[57:06] know we got a thank you note no Jim Wilson yeah
[57:22] all right page 37.
[57:27] you sound like
[57:31] it's starting 70s
[57:42] age 37. our youth programs this is for
[57:47] the County Youth uh program that we have
[57:50] set up
[57:51] usually uh they send us a bill leverage
[57:54] every year
[57:57] yeah so this is separate from the summer
[57:59] youth employment that we are doing with
[58:02] the school district
[58:03] no I think that this is this is this is
[58:05] the money that goes to the county every
[58:07] year yeah
[58:09] in addition to the other money that we
[58:11] did this year right okay
[58:15] hmm
[58:16] so we're basically double paying them
[58:18] well they haven't asked for it so maybe they're not maybe they're taking
[58:23] it out of the other one you know
[58:25] because we had we did one just last year
[58:27] you know yep
[58:30] it seems like it would be a cdvg thing
[58:32] to me but I don't know
[58:34] especially if we're trying to have our
[58:36] own program
[58:38] um which I really support
[58:41] um but that's just
[58:43] I don't know
[58:45] so so this was this was approved uh last
[58:50] year right before the the
[58:54] youth yeah right so cool that I think
[58:57] yeah so this seems like
[59:02] um
[59:04] something separate from that that has to
[59:07] be right because I think yeah yeah
[59:12] ever no this year oh I'm wondering
[59:15] because they were involved with the
[59:17] other one yeah it could be
[59:19] that they knew that happened there I
[59:20] think they went the other way you know
[59:22] what I mean well in years past we gave
[59:24] them like a real small amount like for
[59:26] three thousand if you see three thousand
[59:27] so that's been something that's been
[59:29] ongoing a very low amount but this 43.
[59:31] it seems to me like a seamlessly it was
[59:35] that if we if we did the other program
[59:36] then this is in addition so it really
[59:38] should we continue I should probably
[59:40] call to find out it
[59:43] [Laughter]
[59:46] [Music]
[59:54] I just want to go through it that was
[59:56] the other small one time
[1:00:00] a city historian is 1500 that we take
[1:00:02] it's a historian to do his thing up
[1:00:04] there uh
[1:00:07] historical uh District commission is
[1:00:09] it's just a note-taker for the meetings
[1:00:11] I've had
[1:00:12] so that one has a second yeah
[1:00:17] celebrations two thousand dollars uh
[1:00:20] that is the memorials uh you know we
[1:00:22] give our
[1:00:24] supplies or uh
[1:00:26] foreign
[1:00:43] [Music]
[1:00:56] so we pay the people that are on the
[1:00:58] historic district commission ah
[1:01:13] that's it
[1:01:17] all right it's 38th
[1:01:20] yeah
[1:01:21] Board of zoning Fields
[1:01:26] like advertising and he has a note taker
[1:01:29] uh and the commissioner gets 3 700 and
[1:01:32] uh they'll take her it's uh 18 million
[1:01:34] dollars five hundred dollars is for the
[1:01:37] advertising when they have to put this
[1:01:38] stuff
[1:01:42] and planning commissioners
[1:01:48] the note taker gets eighteen hundred
[1:01:50] dollars the commissioner gets 4 500
[1:01:53] and advertising again is 7.50 so they
[1:01:56] plan only because I think they have more
[1:01:59] stuff going on yes and
[1:02:02] does our private commission please plan a commission Sharon
[1:02:06] let's think Commissioners then that's
[1:02:07] what it says no one else on the board no
[1:02:10] there are yeah
[1:02:12] it says 4 500 for Commissioners
[1:02:16] yes oh okay yeah so amongst each of them
[1:02:19] yes yeah it's probably like a thousand
[1:02:21] dollars I've done one person got 45 I
[1:02:24] think you're doing well
[1:02:26] nobody else got anything
[1:02:28] okay there's no question we'll move to a
[1:02:30] phase 44.
[1:02:32] employee benefits
[1:02:41] um
[1:02:44] [Music]
[1:02:46] a million ninety thousand seven hundred
[1:02:49] ninety nine dollars but it's only a 3.2
[1:02:51] percent uh really increase
[1:02:54] just just to let you know uh
[1:02:57] employee benefits throughout the total
[1:03:00] budget
[1:03:01] all benefits are 33 of the total budget
[1:03:05] is benefits and uh 44 of the budget is
[1:03:09] salaries so yeah so salary and benefits
[1:03:13] it says you know 70 uh 70 uh eight
[1:03:16] percent of the Republic
[1:03:18] so uh let's let's take a look at some of
[1:03:21] them one of the one of the first things
[1:03:23] I want to pass out to you is uh
[1:03:29] is the uh the increase
[1:03:32] of retirement payment for a police
[1:03:35] required
[1:03:37] the front page is about 2022 and then
[1:03:40] the second page is 20.3
[1:03:46] um
[1:03:53] so as you can as you can see uh in 20 in
[1:03:56] this year 2022 would have been paid at
[1:03:59] 8.6 million dollars
[1:04:02] by the 2023 this is just the estimates
[1:04:04] projections I'm probably going to go up
[1:04:06] because you probably saw that there's a
[1:04:08] present because the stock market and
[1:04:10] stuff yeah it's going up to 9.2 million
[1:04:13] that's actually a seven and uh 7.4
[1:04:16] percent increase 634 thousand dollars
[1:04:18] increase
[1:04:20] so uh that's one of the the bigger
[1:04:23] expenses that we have is that the police
[1:04:27] portion of the retirement or the
[1:04:30] benefits uh
[1:04:32] and uh as you see uh if you look at it
[1:04:35] we need budget of 9.1 now you'll notice
[1:04:38] the 9.2 we're we're looking at you know
[1:04:41] because we have to retirement for the
[1:04:44] ERS we we uh we're projecting that's
[1:04:46] going to be less so we're thinking the
[1:04:48] difference we're going to have enough to
[1:04:49] make that up there's a difference from
[1:04:51] the
[1:04:52] ERS oh ERS is our state employment yeah
[1:04:57] okay
[1:04:59] this is basically contractual or no oh
[1:05:02] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[1:05:03] you know well I was saying just recently
[1:05:06] uh New York State Retirement Board uh
[1:05:09] just uh said they're going to increase
[1:05:11] so that's what kind of just as you can
[1:05:13] see here there's some fire you know
[1:05:15] we're looking at 29 29.7 was 30 that's
[1:05:19] going to be over 30 for that for that as
[1:05:22] well as salary you know that could be a
[1:05:24] recruiting tool uh one of one of our uh
[1:05:27] biggest expenses we you know we think is
[1:05:31] really killing us is just a workers
[1:05:33] complement and we're trying to get a
[1:05:35] handle on it we actually hired them
[1:05:41] consultant to try to help us deal with
[1:05:44] this worker comp to increase in what's
[1:05:46] going on and like I said it's basically
[1:05:48] said there's three huge departments fire
[1:05:50] police and uh waste but the final
[1:05:53] increase are the most expensive stuff so
[1:05:55] it makes it so much higher you know
[1:05:58] life insurance everything else pretty
[1:06:00] much stays the same another big increase
[1:06:03] is uh uh of course is the hospital
[1:06:06] medical insurance
[1:06:08] uh
[1:06:12] even though even though I asked a letter
[1:06:16] from our consultant that we have
[1:06:20] shown where the numbers will be used
[1:06:22] thank you
[1:06:32] country workers
[1:06:34] so uh oh this is looking at 11.9
[1:06:37] increase and uh and we're right at that
[1:06:40] number we can go across the board
[1:06:42] between uh
[1:06:44] water sword golfing Channel
[1:06:46] we try to you know we try to you know
[1:06:50] keep for General as you know same percentage all the way
[1:06:54] across so so we think we're doing okay
[1:06:57] our biggest our biggest uh increase you
[1:07:00] know because we still haven't uh had the
[1:07:01] uh the final number and so it's not lost
[1:07:04] because we're self-insured yeah and uh
[1:07:07] which would really save us a lot of
[1:07:08] money in the long run but uh our stock
[1:07:11] box that was before it used to be
[1:07:12] anything wrong to fifty thousand dollars
[1:07:14] and now we're having increased it to
[1:07:17] anything over uh seven to five thousand
[1:07:20] yep and uh and then they insurance but
[1:07:24] the insurance uh is is you know like two
[1:07:27] million dollars a year you know it's
[1:07:28] like 1.89 yeah so how are the numbers in
[1:07:31] here accurate when you have basically of
[1:07:34] not even 400 000 increase uh because we
[1:07:38] look we're doing it across the uh all
[1:07:40] the borders we're doing a water source
[1:07:42] so what we do is we not set out water
[1:07:45] solar and golf They even some of those
[1:07:48] were not changed
[1:07:50] because I noticed that yeah we would you
[1:07:53] know we figured that if you look at that
[1:07:54] number of fifteen thousand five fifty
[1:07:56] four we're at that number I was going
[1:07:58] across the board
[1:08:00] I'm sorry where is that number uh I'm a
[1:08:02] letter from uh okay I'm sorry
[1:08:06] projected class for 2023.
[1:08:18] we're trying to keep a handle on all
[1:08:20] this that's that's what we're doing here
[1:08:26] why does the unemployment insurance
[1:08:28] figure go down by like 40. oh because uh you know what happens when we have
[1:08:35] a coven we had a huge amount of people
[1:08:38] leaving
[1:08:40] whereas now uh
[1:08:44] is kind of some stabilized yet
[1:08:48] the other big factor in here is our new Mana yeah uh that's uh gone up
[1:08:57] to uh uh 2 million three hundred
[1:09:01] two million two hundred and forty
[1:09:05] and uh that was 100
[1:09:08] 80 90 000 Acres they've been very good
[1:09:11] for us our
[1:09:12] retired employees say they love it uh it
[1:09:15] comes to uh four thousand three hundred
[1:09:18] sixty three dollars a person a year wow
[1:09:21] that's
[1:09:22] pretty cool yeah it's pretty good yeah
[1:09:25] um my other question is I just don't
[1:09:26] understand
[1:09:27] um I just don't know what this is the
[1:09:29] insurance buyout can you just tell us
[1:09:31] what that is yes
[1:09:34] oh
[1:10:05] hmm
[1:10:07] uh I think you pay for quite on a
[1:10:09] quality basis they're very good
[1:10:15] yes it's probably less expensive than if
[1:10:18] we were paying Insurance okay I just
[1:10:22] wasn't like sure
[1:10:28] yeah
[1:10:28] um a yearly family plan on our on our
[1:10:31] things that cost twenty of thousand
[1:10:33] dollars
[1:10:46] [Music]
[1:10:56] because no right because of covet people
[1:10:59] really stopped going to the doctors
[1:11:02] we haven't seen that increase you can't
[1:11:04] go that's been saying good our biggest cause Believe It or Not uh
[1:11:09] like that does like 60 as our high cost
[1:11:12] claimants people you know 25 people were
[1:11:16] very built cost hey
[1:11:19] 60. it's part of the rest of the 700
[1:11:22] people
[1:11:26] what happened
[1:11:34] questions
[1:11:42] I noticed that through every um home
[1:11:45] study Department we see employee drug
[1:11:46] testing yes can I see that myself
[1:11:52] well because uh I I don't know it's
[1:11:55] probably because there's nobody uh
[1:11:59] everybody's part-time nobody drives the
[1:12:01] vehicles
[1:12:04] golf carts right yeah
[1:12:06] I don't think so no I'm not bring it up
[1:12:10] for Chris yeah yeah
[1:12:12] just because I saw everywhere else and
[1:12:15] that one was there over there
[1:12:19] any additional question on this section
[1:12:21] yeah go ahead please all righty so you
[1:12:24] said that the insurance is spread out
[1:12:28] I'm not seeing it so where I I know I
[1:12:31] woke up one before I came there and I'm
[1:12:33] trying to go through my shoot some
[1:12:34] content
[1:12:38] foreign
[1:13:16] almost to the end
[1:13:19] you'll see the coupon
[1:13:22] oh here's the soundtrack right here so
[1:13:25] uh yes that's weird we have a call for
[1:13:28] 29 566. uh right it's about uh larger
[1:13:33] 450 000 soar a million three excuse me
[1:13:38] general fund 13-6 and uh RX 70 000 gives
[1:13:43] us a total of fifteen thousand four
[1:13:46] ninety nine fifties 566. my point is
[1:13:50] that it's not changed much at all that's
[1:13:53] we're purposely do that trying to keep
[1:13:56] it because as like I said we look like
[1:13:58] well it's like you know really we're
[1:14:00] going to have some excess money and so
[1:14:02] I'm trying to keep it low because I want
[1:14:04] to erase that portion that I was trying
[1:14:06] to avoid raising taxes or raising fees
[1:14:09] yeah
[1:14:12] I mean that's that's what we're trying
[1:14:14] to build
[1:14:15] I can't I think I'm trying to people
[1:14:17] right what a point for our episode our
[1:14:19] consultant tells us don't even know
[1:14:22] where she says so that way I know that
[1:14:24] will be okay and I said I saw that this
[1:14:26] year but it looked like we're going to
[1:14:27] happen
[1:14:28] like uh John said a little Surplus over
[1:14:31] there and I want to keep that going
[1:14:35] like they're those words
[1:14:38] I think I'm thinking of the big picture
[1:14:40] yeah yeah
[1:14:42] any additional question
[1:14:57] all right let's move to um
[1:15:08] correct there you go
[1:15:11] [Music]
[1:15:12] mm-hmm
[1:15:19] our total debt surface is up 10 to 685
[1:15:23] 374.
[1:15:25] um yeah one of the reasons is that we uh
[1:15:28] when we rebonded everything and uh
[1:15:31] we only have one band out there right
[1:15:33] now uh let me just
[1:15:35] do what you have
[1:15:37] um
[1:15:39] increase values like you said now so now
[1:15:41] what we're doing is instead of paying
[1:15:43] the interest on dance or paying a
[1:15:45] principle knob too so that's why that's
[1:15:47] why the increases yeah
[1:15:49] uh let me just give you some figures
[1:15:51] that we have here
[1:15:57] the general fund we have a binds out for
[1:16:01] 65 million seven hundred thirty five
[1:16:03] thousand dollars
[1:16:04] uh soars 34 million 950 000 Waters uh 12
[1:16:09] million 691
[1:16:11] 000 golf is 849 850
[1:16:14] 000. so it's
[1:16:16] 514 000 but just in pounds they also
[1:16:19] have bands that those suppose are
[1:16:21] anticipation notes of seven million 447
[1:16:25] dollars and we have leases out there at
[1:16:28] the two point
[1:16:29] two million dollars so there's there's
[1:16:32] quite a bit of that we're handling it
[1:16:34] you know and what we did in the last
[1:16:36] couple years is we went back and took
[1:16:38] anything over a four percent uh we we uh we get that we uh we uh
[1:16:48] refinance refinanced it there it is I
[1:16:50] can't think of it we refinanced them and
[1:16:52] uh you know we got the percentage of
[1:16:53] like two and between two and a half
[1:16:54] minutes so uh and again like you said it
[1:16:58] was just paying uh
[1:17:00] figure a part of the Princeton
[1:17:05] yeah
[1:17:08] they're not really happy about that but
[1:17:10] yeah
[1:17:11] it's invested evil and that's right
[1:17:15] um
[1:17:18] Joshua is that questions
[1:17:36] I think they capture everything I don't
[1:17:38] think I missed anything other than what
[1:17:40] we have scheduled for tomorrow
[1:17:44] [Music]

[1:20:30] sending them to the mayor and me and you
[1:20:32] yes
[1:20:38] what we have done in the past is that we
[1:20:40] spend their time or we don't need to do
