198 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,140 I know that Mr mciveren has asked 199 00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:48,120 questions and 200 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,100 um asked questions ask people to submit 201

done this budget 204 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,160 I know there was some concerns because 205 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,160 we had talked about 206 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,480 um using some um of the fund balance in 207 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,700 our discussions realizing that there had 208 00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:11,760 already been 10.5 million dollars almost 209 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,940 about 10.483 that had been set aside 210 00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:16,559 already to 211 00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,620 um for lost Revenue so in when we had 212 00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,620 our final discussions with mayor we took 213 00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:24,179 that into consideration and rather than 214 00:20:24,179 --> 00:20:26,520 going to the fund balance we're able to 215 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,460 use to put some of that in so that the 216 00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:31,559 concerns that were raised by many 217 00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:34,200 council members of uh using all of our 218 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,440 performance and also not touching our 219 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,539 fund balance which has been addressed 220 00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:42,240 with this uh most everything that's 221 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,039 happened up to this point has been a 222 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,860 proposal so I know that this um some of 223 00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:48,900 this was tried in the Press even though 224 00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:52,200 we hadn't made final decisions but we're 225 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,960 here today to make those um final 226 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,880 decisions hopefully we can walk out of 227 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,100 this room with a past budget and 228 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,559 everyone has the opportunity to say what 229 00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:03,480 it is that any concerns that they have 230 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,880 but hopefully we're coming to the point 231 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,220 where we can come out with a budget that 232 00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:12,240 is um fair to taxpayers making sure that 233 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760 the city does not go into debt and we're 234 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,620 able to pay all of our bills and all 235 00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:20,340 council members concerns have been have 236 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:22,860 been taken into

proposal was 277 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,500 submitted to me and I compiled that last 278 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,900 Friday and I had the opportunity to 279 00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:11,820 discuss that with me McCarthy and the 280 00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:14,039 commission of Finance before we discuss 281 00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:17,400 it on the floor visual proposal that we 282 00:23:17,400 -->

00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:28,940 put some numbers towards these narrative 286 00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:31,559 and to submit to us and he did that 287 00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:33,059 yesterday and we were able to look at it 288 00:23:33,059 --> 00:23:35,340 I was able to look at the number 289 00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:37,440 yesterday and today I would miss a 290 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,360 Ferrari Indian party this afternoon I 291 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:40,980 had a meeting with him with Porterfield 292 00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:43,679 and look at numbers there were some 293 00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:45,720 there was some adjustment that 294 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,700 we made it because 295 00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,240 um 20 20 and 20 and 2021 they were 296 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,419 already money set aside for um budget 297 00:23:54,419 --> 00:23:57,059 deficit to help us with the 2022 2023 298 00:23:57,059 --> 00:24:00,960 and 2024 budget and that was a total of 299 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,179 10.5 million dollars 300 00:24:03,179 --> 00:24:05,039 so by doing that and making an 301 00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:07,640 adjustment we were able to start off 302 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,020 save more money that is available in 303 00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:14,580 arpa and she'll put back all the items 304 00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:17,039 that were proposed to remove from arpa 305 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:19,740 funding to General funding that was 306 00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:21,900 restored by using money that was already 307 00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:25,260 allocated prior to several meetings ago 308 00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,600 when we were meeting with regards to 309 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,659 allocating Harper funding so the 310 00:24:30,659 --> 00:24:32,640 proposal that was submitted was to 311 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,559 remove artwork funding and to use 312 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:36,780 General funding that was reported this 313 00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:38,940 afternoon so all the items have been 314 00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:40,080 funded 315 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,539 what originally funded by arpo will 316 00:24:42,539 --> 00:24:44,220 actually be funded by Arco but is 317 00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:47,460 funding from the 2020-2021 last Revenue 318 00:24:47,460 --> 00:24:50,159 allocation which was 10.5 million 319 00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:54,179 already set aside so that will bear in 320 00:24:54,179 --> 00:24:56,039 mind with that allocation and that 321 00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:58,140 correction that was made we're now 322 00:24:58,140 --> 00:24:59,520 seeing with the document that we have in 323 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,860 front of us here in our location 324 00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:04,679 and factor in the 2.4 million dollars 325 00:25:04,679 --> 00:25:07,679 and we're using this for the 2023 budget 326 00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:10,200 which is considered additional 327 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,299 lost Revenue 328 00:25:12,299 --> 00:25:15,059 we're seeing a balance of alpha 329 00:25:15,059 --> 00:25:17,400 remaining from 10.1 million 330 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,700 10.1 61 million dollars so those were 331 00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:22,620 adjustments by working with the mayor 332 00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:24,900 working with Mr Ferrari and staff we 333 00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:27,600 were able to identify and make this 334 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000 adjustment as this was already in there 335 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,820 so I want to Echo that out that 336 00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:35,159 our performing is restored back and the 337 00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:37,200 money is not coming out the general fund 338 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,250 so whatever was 339 00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:42,000 document was submitted to us yesterday 340 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,220 by Mr Ferrari it was to look at it and 341 00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:53,230 look at how 342 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,149 this is good news for us 343 00:25:58,159 --> 00:26:00,299 another stuff 344 00:26:00,299 --> 00:26:03,000 um let's do a little bit sewer 345 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,340 based on recommendation 346 00:26:05,340 --> 00:26:06,190 from last 347 00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:06,720 [Music] 348 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,049 um 349 00:26:09,059 --> 00:26:12,059 Fridays and overwhelmed we were able to 350 00:26:12,059 --> 00:26:13,980 come to a 351 00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:17,039 bring it to the council default Council 352 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,919 an adjustment to the Sewer 353 00:26:19,919 --> 00:26:22,559 and their free increase 354 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,890 The Proposal was a 355 00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:31,679 proposal for sure was 25.24 cents 356 00:26:31,679 --> 00:26:34,440 based on discussion last week into this 357 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,260 week and today we are bringing to the 358 00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:39,900 top full Council the proposal to 359 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:43,320 increase that by half instead of 25 000 360 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,539 24 cents we were increased on that by 361 00:26:45,539 --> 00:26:48,370 half 362 00:26:48,380 --> 00:26:51,360 that is a proposal on the table based on 363 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,789 the feedback and based on a discussion 364 00:26:55,799 --> 00:27:00,360 if we were to go into water 365 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:04,570 same discussion here 366 00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:08,820 also to change this and bear in mind the 367 00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:12,000 proposal to changes was that majority of 368 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,299 us were asking for is zero increase in 369 00:27:15,299 --> 00:27:16,679 water and so 370 00:27:16,679 --> 00:27:19,020 there was a compromise to bring to the 371 00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,400 whole Council 372 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,860 this afternoon and the water is also 373 00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:24,120 going up by 374 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:28,559 half so instead of 12.97 that is being 375 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,360 cut by half and that's a proposal being 376 00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:31,440 fatal 377 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:42,470 this evening 378 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,240 the next document that we have here is 379 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,870 um 380 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,100 the console budget changes from the 381 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:51,840

already allocated 391 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:20,580 so these items are being funded as 392 00:28:20,580 --> 00:28:22,559 this year are performing until next year 393 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:24,659 without Crow funding and not from the 394 00:28:24,659 --> 00:28:40,549 development 395 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:50,230 happiness 396 00:28:50,240 --> 00:29:02,149 thank you 397 00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:04,340 also if you look at the top of the page 398 00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:09,600 there is a based on the proposal the ask 399 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,179 is to reduce attacks by one percent and 400 00:29:12,179 --> 00:29:14,900 that is equivalent to 316 401 00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:16,740 290 dollars 402 00:29:16,740 --> 00:29:20,640 with a new budget of 31 million 312 710 403 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,440 that's the first line on the general 404 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,179 fund page 405 00:29:24,179 --> 00:29:28,320 and then the Refuge crash and collection 406 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,100 we are asking that we remove completely 407 00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:34,140 and there is discussion 408 00:29:34,140 --> 00:29:36,299 um being held right now in terms of the 409 00:29:36,299 --> 00:29:38,100 mayor has a programming put in place so 410 00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:39,840 he's discussing his staff and how we can 411 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,580 report in terms of handling excessive 412 00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:43,440 garbage and things like that and we hope 413 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,200 that we can address that in in a couple 414 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,340 weeks 415 00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:50,159 prior to the tax bill will also we can 416 00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:52,320 do an amendment with regard to how we 417 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,260 move in terms of adding feeds to this so 418 00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:57,360 the reason why that is being held until 419 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,909 we can get more information on that 420

to us and told 451 00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:47,340 us to remove that item and that was the 452 00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:49,260 answer to that question instead of 453 00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:51,360 providing they were asked to remove the 454 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,399 item is not needed so that's the only 455 00:31:53,399 --> 00:31:54,899 changes to the capital 456 00:31:54,899 -->

stability they need the 513 00:34:34,619 --> 00:34:36,899 money because they're using the Axiom 514 00:34:36,899 --> 00:34:38,940 they said they didn't want to they 515 00:34:38,940 --> 00:34:41,700

00:34:45,899 --> 00:34:47,879 and I think that was disgusting 519 00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:49,440 yeah you did this because I have to 520 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,700 mentioned that at the meeting and then 521 00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:52,560 we follow up the question was asked and 522 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,720 then Mr Prairie came back and says 523 00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,580 remove it the question was made from my 524 00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:59,339 notes yes because I I don't have that in 525 00:34:59,339 --> 00:35:01,380 mind it doesn't know that I have any 526 00:35:01,380 -->

00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:26,210 pieces of paper that I want to make sure 531 00:35:26,220 --> 00:35:36,530 I don't have everything down 532 00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:38,820 could we ask the chief to weigh in on 533 00:35:38,820 --> 00:35:39,900 that 534 00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:43,700 I actually I should ask you yes 535 00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:47,339 I hate to put you on the spot but 536 00:35:47,339 --> 00:35:50,280 I know that that's on eventually will 537 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,859 have the new 538 00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:55,500 yeah I mean it's my understanding that 539 00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:57,960 we didn't see the additional funding for 540 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,060 the axon project but we're going to stay 541 00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:03,000 inconsistent with our requests to fund 542 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,920 that technology and that was a part of 543 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,140 our consistent request so I have to 544 00:36:07,140 --> 00:36:09,480 check with my seat or see if yeah if he 545 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,579 has to I know we had grant funding to 546 00:36:11,579 --> 00:36:14,820 cover this year coming on but I just 547 00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:16,619 hate to set his behind 548 00:36:16,619 --> 00:36:18,599 that potentially was part of his 549 00:36:18,599 --> 00:36:22,800 financial plan for paying for it yearly 550 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,940 um Chief I can say they could 551 00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:25,500 specifically say well you know we'd love 552 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,240 to have another we really don't need it 553 00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,460 right now he actually said that so 554 00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:31,800 that's on camera yeah that's what that's 555 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,000 what announcement he answered the 556 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,500 question and then the question was asked 557 00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,540 again and then the answer came from this 558 00:36:36,540 --> 00:36:39,000 before I read this um no answer but just 559 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,800 to remove that items no I don't need it 560 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,730 doesn't know what I have 561 00:36:45,740 --> 00:36:50,870 I mean do you need the funding 562 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,500 well uh my understanding the 233 000 223 563 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,839 is 564 00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:00,240 three years of the replacement of

00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,780 that so I mean I guess 569 00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:12,839 if uh if that's what he said 570 00:37:12,839 --> 00:37:15,359 no we can correct it if you think that 571 00:37:15,359 --> 00:37:18,770 that's a mistake 572 00:37:18,780 --> 00:37:23,930 I he just didn't make me aware of that 573 00:37:23,940 --> 00:37:26,520 and well it keeps up maybe because I'm 574

630 00:40:05,460 --> 00:40:09,300 after the discussion and feedback 631 00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:13,500 they asked went down to 256 thousand one 632 00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:14,940 six one 633 00:40:14,940 --> 00:40:17,700 that is on ph one of the general 634 00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:27,010 um 635 00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:30,060 go ahead please so we're consistently 636 00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:34,020 over budget with this every year 637 00:40:34,020 --> 00:40:36,900 what makes us think cutting it 638 00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:40,670 is a good move 639 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,260 the notes that I have here is because of 640 00:40:43,260 --> 00:40:45,300 what was asked of us last year to 641 00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:47,940 support police increase they start 642 00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:50,599 reading our notes at a police increase 643 00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:52,800 the Staffing and things that actually 644 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,640 the chief told us that by doing that 645 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,920 we're gonna eventually see savings 646 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,660 coming from the reduction end of the 647 00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:02,760 time and I think some of the that was 648 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,920 some of the arrays and the question the 649 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,300 proposals 650 00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:08,220 then we went back from the original Last 651 00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:13,560 of 425 306 from the 2023 higher that's 652 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,140 the Total Staffing was a 70 Fringe 653 00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:17,280 benefit 654 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,160 but then it was reduced back after 655 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,460 discussion to 256. 656 00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:29,880 and 334 right from 420 429 5. 657 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,160 oh maybe it's a I was looking at it 658 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:41,089 and now it's down to 256 161. 659 00:41:41,099 --> 00:41:43,740 sorry I'm looking in the budget 660 00:41:43,740 --> 00:41:45,780 it says 661 00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:52,630 334 241 on that line but 662 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,480 31. 663 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,940 um 664 00:41:55,940 --> 00:41:58,200 proposal sheet that was submitted Friday 665 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,480 I do have that yeah that one will sell 666 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,980 you 667 00:42:01,980 --> 00:42:09,890 more detail on it 668 00:42:09,900 --> 00:42:11,339 I was just looking at the original 669 00:42:11,339 --> 00:42:14,640 budget okay where are we projected the 670 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,050 hit overtime this year 671 00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:20,160 roughly 672 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,420 it's probably going to be close to 2 673 00:42:21,420 --> 00:42:24,650 million 674 00:42:24,660 --> 00:42:28,859 so then we're at least 200 000 below 675 00:42:28,859 --> 00:42:31,260 the proposed budget 676 00:42:31,260 --> 00:42:35,900 how will that Impact Staffing and 677 00:42:35,900 --> 00:42:38,839 dealing with issues 678 00:42:38,839 --> 00:42:41,520 may I add response time please because I 679 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,440 think that that our big problem right 680 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,400 now is 681 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680 hiring police officers and getting them 682 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,560 fully trained to meet the doctor that's 683 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,560 been reported to us for Staffing until 684 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,540 that happens we have to fill the shifts 685 00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:56,099 with overtime 686 00:42:56,099 --> 00:42:58,619 we have nine officers in the police 687 00:42:58,619 --> 00:43:00,720 academy right now we have four in field 688 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:03,240 training there's 13 right there they 689 00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:04,800 can't work all the time 690 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,960 so we're just filling those spots right 691 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,579 now for dealing with an increase in 692 00:43:08,579 --> 00:43:13,020 crime so making uh Staffing changes by 693 00:43:13,020 --> 00:43:14,460 bringing investigators down toward 694 00:43:14,460 --> 00:43:17,099 Patrol isn't the smartest move this like 695 00:43:17,099 --> 00:43:20,579 I set us back even farther so we will 696 00:43:20,579 --> 00:43:21,780 stay within whatever budget we're 697 00:43:21,780 --> 00:43:24,000 afforded we may have to reduce our 698 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,880 staffing levels to get there and what 699 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,680 that means is that we just don't hire as 700 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,240 many officers to get to where we 701 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,819 currently are on a daily basis 702 00:43:32,819 --> 00:43:34,500 and ultimately 703 00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,000 you know depending on whether we have 704 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,700 major events it could impact specialized 705 00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:40,680 details as they come up but that's 706 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,410 always an unknown 707 00:43:45,420 --> 00:43:47,940 so Chase just that I'm kind of a bit 708 00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:49,079 about something in terms of the higher 709 00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:52,440 income last year and into this here next 710 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,200 year how is that going to roll out 711 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,079 to better serve your department 712 00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,420 and to help with this 713 00:44:00,420 --> 00:44:01,920 deal with that 714 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,920 well with me you can't seem to get ahead 715 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,140 I mean we hired nine and we lost eight 716 00:44:07,140 --> 00:44:08,640 retirements 717 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,400 and then we lose two of the transfers so 718 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,040 we're while we have nine in the academy 719 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,859 and we have four in field training right 720 00:44:16,859 --> 00:44:19,440 now we have by the end of the year we'll 721 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,599 have 13 openings that we're going to 722 00:44:21,599 --> 00:44:24,119 have to fill and we're consistently 723 00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:25,859 trying to catch up in all those openings 724 00:44:25,859 --> 00:44:27,839 right now are in our Patrol Division 725 00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:29,520 which is where the Lions share of the 726 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,040 overtime is being spent 727 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,839 it's 728 00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:35,640 the lag that we've been in is going to 729 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,339 take more than one year 730 00:44:38,339 --> 00:44:40,260 but funding is available under those 731 00:44:40,260 --> 00:44:42,300 retirement lines that can be used to 732 00:44:42,300 --> 00:44:44,640 offset 733 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,040 any other costs 734 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,140 sure we always take a look at our budget 735 00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:51,180 towards the end of the year to see what 736 00:44:51,180 --> 00:44:53,220 money is available if we need to come 737 00:44:53,220 --> 00:44:56,040 and ask for the value of the transfer so 738 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,619 there is funding available on if your 739 00:44:58,619 --> 00:45:00,420 retirement my retirements or 10 740 00:45:00,420 --> 00:45:01,920 retirement 741 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,859 I'm sure what else on it can be adjusted 742 00:45:04,859 --> 00:45:06,960 to use 743 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,500 until until you get new hires 744 00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:15,319 yeah well it's just a wash yeah so 745 00:45:15,319 --> 00:45:17,880 if we're spending two million in 746 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,500 overtime now 747 00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:22,920 and Regatta Walsh and we have guys that 748 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,540 can't 749 00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:26,280 do over time 750 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,040 then where do we expect we're gonna fill 751 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,300 in the the time that's necessary unless 752 00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:38,220 we actually do cutbacks to Patrols 753 00:45:38,220 --> 00:45:39,140 thank you 754 00:45:39,140 --> 00:45:43,560 any questions asked in terms of 755 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,119 hiring 756 00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:46,560 officers 757 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,119 and we have continued to do that we 758 00:45:48,119 --> 00:45:49,800 continue to support this budget is 759 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,500 carrying new officers into next year and 760 00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,800 2022 also have officers being hired 761 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,960 so it's a matter of retirement funding 762 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,569 is available 763 00:46:01,579 --> 00:46:04,140 yeah but we have to address across the 764 00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:05,700 board too to address that so we don't 765 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:07,319 want to say that the time is cut but we 766 00:46:07,319 --> 00:46:08,760 don't have any funding there is funding 767 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,319 available 768 00:46:10,319 --> 00:46:13,990 that can be used 769 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,160 so Chief I understand that um the new 770 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,800 people can't work overtime but will them 771 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,300 now be on the street because you did 772 00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:22,980 send us an email about how many people 773 00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:24,240 are going to get on the street so them 774 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:26,400 going on the street will reduce some of 775 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,500 the hours of the folks who are now 776 00:46:28,500 --> 00:46:29,520 working all the time because now we're 777 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,260 putting more officers 778 00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:33,599 um in the field 779 00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:36,300 it definitely helps us having those we 780 00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:37,859 just had four come out of field training 781 00:46:37,859 --> 00:46:40,200 they help us with our midnight shift 782 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,300 right now and then the other four that 783 00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:44,640 are in a field training should be off 784 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,619 I want to say by mid-December so so they 785 00:46:49,619 --> 00:46:51,420 will be able to help us out also which 786 00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:54,180 means that you know the numbers that 787 00:46:54,180 --> 00:46:56,099 show up are good we don't have to have a 788 00:46:56,099 --> 00:46:57,660 higher level which is where we want to 789 00:46:57,660 --> 00:47:00,300 get to many times with crime being high 790 00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:02,280 even when we have those numbers of 791 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,200 people show up have a supplemental 792 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,660 Staffing on the street to do targeted 793 00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:07,740 details 794 00:47:07,740 --> 00:47:11,040 for a chronically committed with the low 795 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,599 Staffing that we've had we haven't even 796 00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:14,579 had the ability to hire those officers 797 00:47:14,579 --> 00:47:16,319 even if we wanted to 798 00:47:16,319 --> 00:47:18,540 so it's a it's not even really a 799 00:47:18,540 --> 00:47:20,940 financial issue as much as it is a 800 00:47:20,940 --> 00:47:22,920 Staffing issue right now but at some 801 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,140 point our staffing will get there and we 802 00:47:25,140 --> 00:47:26,579 want to reduce crime that we're going to 803 00:47:26,579 --> 00:47:34,010 want to have somebody available to do it 804 00:47:34,020 --> 00:47:37,200 so it's for me the consensus is uh if 805 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,420 we're incorporating a new technology 806 00:47:39,420 --> 00:47:42,260 into the department and then if we're 807 00:47:42,260 --> 00:47:45,740 refurbishing a lot of here 808 00:47:45,740 --> 00:47:49,319 technological resources recognizing that 809 00:47:49,319 --> 00:47:50,760 those cost savings might not be 810 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,859 experienced immediately 811 00:47:52,859 --> 00:47:55,500 um but again 812 00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:58,260 adding more money to the overtime budget 813 00:47:58,260 --> 00:47:59,940 or recognizing that the original 814 00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:02,220 consideration of reducing it or not 815 00:48:02,220 --> 00:48:03,900 reducing it but 816 00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:05,640 um further evaluating that four hundred 817 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,200 thousand dollars might have been 818 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,640 excessive 819 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,619 so the new figure of 256 000 I think 820 00:48:13,619 --> 00:48:15,599 incorporates what everyone has already 821 00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:17,760 identified as you ask some technology is 822 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,339 going to assist when it does that is the 823 00:48:20,339 --> 00:48:21,839 question but eventually having the 824 00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:24,480 additional officers is going to assist 825 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,260 um 826 00:48:25,260 --> 00:48:27,720 I guess it's then a game of windows cost 827 00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:29,040 savings actually contribute equipment 828 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,500 but a question that I had was I know 829 00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:33,000 you're making considerable efforts with 830 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,400 working with the community so have you 831 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,819 recognized or do you foresee any 832 00:48:38,819 --> 00:48:40,079 benefits from the relationships that 833 00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:41,099 you're establishing with local 834 00:48:41,099 --> 00:48:42,839 organizations as we start to mention 835 00:48:42,839 --> 00:48:44,520 what community policing looks like in 836 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,579 Schenectady so it is entirely not what 837 00:48:47,579 --> 00:48:50,220 is the police doing to respond to crime 838 00:48:50,220 --> 00:48:52,260 or inappropriate behaviors but how can 839 00:48:52,260 --> 00:48:55,260 as a community be surround and and help 840 00:48:55,260 --> 00:48:57,839 guide that change with you as well 841 00:48:57,839 --> 00:48:59,760 stuff it's not 842 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,099 I see a difference and I think my 843 00:49:02,099 --> 00:49:04,680 investigators do too where the level of 844 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,780 cooperation for solving crimes is 845 00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:08,640 certainly higher 846 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,079 um but it's really not something that we 847 00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:11,700 can quantify with numbers to say that 848 00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:14,180 yes we're seeing a difference but it's 849 00:49:14,180 --> 00:49:16,980 you know crimes you're being committed 850 00:49:16,980 --> 00:49:19,260 we're making those arrests is it's just 851 00:49:19,260 --> 00:49:23,280 that you know so so I think that uh we 852 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,200 continuously engage with the community 853 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,000 and ask them to be 854 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,040 part of a solution with helping us we 855 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,180 did it last night with Community 856 00:49:30,180 --> 00:49:33,420 meetings and it's very important for us 857 00:49:33,420 --> 00:49:35,040 to get the community to be a part of 858 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,040 helping us keep the city safe it's just 859 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,960 a matter of uh 860 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,700 getting enough officers out there to 861 00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:43,980 respond to the volume of calls that are 862 00:49:43,980 --> 00:49:45,060 coming in 863 00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:49,550 right now 864 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,160 go ahead so the other position that um 865 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,800 is being suggested to be cut is the 866 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,040 information Tech specialist that is 65 867 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,619 000 that I think was a new 868 00:50:01,619 --> 00:50:04,380 um position I think and I think that 869 00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:08,940 um you were stating that position would allow a police 870 00:50:08,940 --> 00:50:10,859 officer that would be a civilian and so 871 00:50:10,859 --> 00:50:13,560 therefore a police officer would be 872 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,000 um wouldn't have to do that any longer 873 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,220 and you could use that police officer to 874 00:50:17,220 --> 00:50:19,380 actually be 875 00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:21,660 police officer a police officer doing 876 00:50:21,660 --> 00:50:23,520 police work I was going to say 877 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,960 um so can you speak a little bit to that 878 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,700 as well because that's also being 879 00:50:26,700 --> 00:50:28,800 proposed as being cut 880 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,400 yeah I mean this is a position that I 881 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,500 have a lieutenant that I've asked that 882 00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:37,260 actually help us make advances in these 883 00:50:37,260 --> 00:50:40,140 technology and what I found is that a 884 00:50:40,140 --> 00:50:42,480 large amount of his time is being spent 885 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,420 doing things out of somebody can do uh 886 00:50:45,420 --> 00:50:47,880 issuing equipment taking equipment and 887 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,099 sending it out for repair this morning I 888 00:50:50,099 --> 00:50:53,700 pulled in he's helping uh he's one of 889 00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:56,420 our guys from the Communication Center 890 00:50:56,420 --> 00:50:59,760 installed Raiders and cars so these are 891 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,020 the things that could be done by a 892 00:51:01,020 --> 00:51:03,000 civilian don't necessarily have to be 893 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,520 done by a lieutenant 894 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,900 so that's why we asked him the position 895 00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:10,859 so that that Lieutenant can actually do 896 00:51:10,859 --> 00:51:12,599 the work necessary to get that 897 00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:18,000 technology to help reduce crime to help officers get the information that 898 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,579 they need to reduce crime to reduce the 899 00:51:20,579 --> 00:51:23,099 need for police officers we've we've 900 00:51:23,099 --> 00:51:24,660 built the foundation of Technology at 901 00:51:24,660 --> 00:51:25,980 this point we just haven't started 902 00:51:25,980 --> 00:51:28,319 framing the house yet with it and that's 903 00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,240 the that's where the next step is that I 904 00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:31,800 want to go with it 905 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,780 um so if that position isn't funded 906 00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:35,400 we'll have to figure out a way to do it 907 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,760 in-house and my only other option is to 908 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,950 use police officers 909 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,180 sorry and I just want to ask 910 00:51:45,180 --> 00:51:48,420 um again to Mr Williams I think we did 911 00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:50,460 all identify that it obviously will take 912 00:51:50,460 --> 00:51:53,700 some time for the new technology to be 913 00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:58,079 to arrive to be put into a place to be 914 00:51:58,079 --> 00:52:00,059 you know for training and and those 915 00:52:00,059 --> 00:52:02,220 kinds of things do you have any sense of 916 00:52:02,220 --> 00:52:05,640 what that timeline might be at this 917 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,180 point for axon 918 00:52:08,180 --> 00:52:11,240 well I think there's other Technologies 919 00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:13,640 we should have axon 920 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,260 deployed by the first of the year okay 921 00:52:16,260 --> 00:52:19,500 we'll be issuing it I would say a month 922 00:52:19,500 --> 00:52:21,599 or two to actually have fully up and 923 00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:23,700 running okay and that's across the board 924 00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:27,180 from Cars camera body camera systems 925 00:52:27,180 --> 00:52:28,440 interview 926 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,240 and then even the virtual reality 927 00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:32,339 training of many of these other 928 00:52:32,339 --> 00:52:34,619 Technologies I'm always optimistic when 929 00:52:34,619 --> 00:52:36,480 I can say next year's the year we're 930 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,480 going to do it but I truly believe that 931 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,059 next year we will be making a big jump 932 00:52:42,059 --> 00:52:43,980 if not by then this year but a big jump 933 00:52:43,980 --> 00:52:49,200 and doing some of these things well it's emerging technology so there's no 934 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,059 blueprint in place for us to say yes 935 00:52:51,059 --> 00:52:53,339 we'll have this by this time it's a work 936 00:52:53,339 --> 00:52:55,559 of progress we're we're actually doing 937 00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:57,240 things that we'll be speaking about at 938 00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:59,280 national conferences right at some point 939 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,680 so it's it's it's really cool 940 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,599 interesting thing but it takes people 941 00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:05,780 that don't 942 00:53:05,780 --> 00:53:09,180 but Chief um currently you're utilizing 943 00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:12,300 the central I.T department for any it 944 00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:16,619 related work that is needed we are yes 945 00:53:16,619 --> 00:53:18,720 and just to reference that 946 00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:19,319 um 947 00:53:19,319 --> 00:53:22,440 we're actually in this 2023 budget there 948 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,240 is an additional staff for the central 949 00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:27,480 I.T Department 950 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,220 so they are actually beating up with 951 00:53:29,220 --> 00:53:32,160 additional Staffing here 952 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,680 so so actually can you continue to use 953 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,420 this office and they're getting 954 00:53:36,420 --> 00:53:38,640 additional staff at this point in time 955 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,740 I think the need is there then 956 00:53:40,740 --> 00:53:44,089 we can revisit it 957 00:53:44,099 --> 00:53:46,980 I certainly can 958 00:53:46,980 --> 00:53:48,900 I'm going to say this in the best way it 959 00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:51,180 makes it helps them they're very 960 00:53:51,180 --> 00:53:52,980 overwhelmed 961 00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:55,079 um one of the reasons I've asked for 962 00:53:55,079 --> 00:53:56,579 this is that there's a lag between 963 00:53:56,579 --> 00:53:58,020 passage or something and actually 964 00:53:58,020 --> 00:53:59,700 getting it done 965 00:53:59,700 --> 00:54:02,579 through Central I.T and this is not a 966 00:54:02,579 --> 00:54:05,040 knock on a lawn or John or anybody that 967 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,900 works there it's just they have a lot 968 00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:08,460 going on not just the police department 969 00:54:08,460 --> 00:54:10,319 but every other department that's using 970 00:54:10,319 --> 00:54:13,020 technology So the plan was never to 971 00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:15,000 replace them but to supplement them with 972 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,960 the with an embedded uh civilian that 973 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,480 can actually manage the technology 974 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,579 that's in the police department that's 975 00:54:23,579 --> 00:54:30,589 really overwhelming at this point 976 00:54:30,599 --> 00:54:33,359 so um to that comment of where that 977 00:54:33,359 --> 00:54:35,099 position and that assistance will lie 978 00:54:35,099 --> 00:54:37,559 and just responding to miss Patrick's of 979 00:54:37,559 --> 00:54:39,240 like a cut I think it's important that 980 00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:40,859 we recognize that words matter and I 981 00:54:40,859 --> 00:54:42,960 think that was a the theme that was 982 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,460 recognized from the recent article in 983 00:54:44,460 --> 00:54:46,380 today's paper I think we're just trying 984 00:54:46,380 --> 00:54:49,680 to identify whether the comparative 985 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,140 advantage of having this resource in 986 00:54:52,140 --> 00:54:54,780 your current department where you do the 987 00:54:54,780 --> 00:54:57,180 work you understand the system outweighs 988 00:54:57,180 --> 00:55:00,000 the potential absolute advantage that it 989 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,859 would make sense having this in an I.T 990 00:55:01,859 --> 00:55:04,020 Department I absolutely yield the fact 991 00:55:04,020 --> 00:55:06,200 that they maybe or probably are 992 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,240 overtasking overburdened but I I 993 00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:10,800 wholeheartedly think that supporting the 994 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,480 department who can meet the needs for 995 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,700 the entire city I think is a better 996 00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:18,180 position to take that way that we have a 997 00:55:18,180 --> 00:55:20,040 unified front of understanding what the 998 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,020 needs are across the board and if it's 999 00:55:22,020 --> 00:55:23,520 as simple as well what needs and 1000 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,800 resources that they need I think it's 1001 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,220 easier to best bolster them than having 1002 00:55:29,220 --> 00:55:31,500 satellites and I think that I'm open to 1003 00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:35,109 any comment from afford 1004 00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:38,760 I suggested that that was the 1005 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,400 theory of the council is approaching is 1006 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,280 to move that line item out of 1007 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,079 the police department budget put it in 1008 00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:48,480 I.T so we'd be able to hire the person 1009 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,940 and then give me the ability to assign 1010 00:55:50,940 --> 00:55:52,740 them an appropriate manner wherever 1011 00:55:52,740 --> 00:55:54,059 they're needed 1012 00:55:54,059 --> 00:55:56,220 but then based on discussion on there is 1013 00:55:56,220 --> 00:55:58,980 also a new hire I.T higher on the 1014 00:55:58,980 --> 00:56:01,200 Channel online team Department I could 1015 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,260 hire four people we have six to four and 1016 00:56:04,260 --> 00:56:07,079 we can't seems like I didn't want to 1017 00:56:07,079 --> 00:56:11,829 cook so please go ahead please 1018 00:56:11,839 --> 00:56:15,890 for what it's worth 1019 00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:17,579 I can't remember how many years ago 1020 00:56:17,579 --> 00:56:20,040 maybe eight years ago when we merged our 1021 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,660 communication center with the unified 1022 00:56:21,660 --> 00:56:23,520 Communications with the county 1023 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,920 while we had it in-house we had a 1024 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,900 communications director who served the 1025 00:56:27,900 --> 00:56:29,880 role similar to what I'm trying to bring 1026 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,099 back here that managed our technology 1027 00:56:32,099 --> 00:56:33,960 but when we merged with the county 1028 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,819 that's one of the jobs that left the 1029 00:56:35,819 --> 00:56:37,260 police department and we served to miss 1030 00:56:37,260 --> 00:56:38,040 him 1031 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,140 now even more because we have more 1032 00:56:40,140 --> 00:56:42,000 technology like body cameras and car 1033 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,640 videos this will be before all of that 1034 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:48,119 so that's kind of where we we've kind of 1035 00:56:48,119 --> 00:56:51,359 fit we've plugged that Gap by using 1036 00:56:51,359 --> 00:56:52,680 Personnel within the police department 1037 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,870 but now we need cops 1038 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,099 go ahead what I was going to say is that 1039 00:56:59,099 --> 00:57:01,440 I think we're putting um additional work 1040 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,760 into the I.T Department besides this 1041 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:06,960 um when we think about some of the 1042 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,700 things that we are hoping to accom I 1043 00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:10,680 think that Mr colluccio when he 1044 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,020 presented to us was talking about some 1045 00:57:13,020 --> 00:57:16,260 of the um needs that even from his area 1046 00:57:16,260 --> 00:57:17,819 to that area 1047 00:57:17,819 --> 00:57:20,220 um might be increasing so 1048 00:57:20,220 --> 00:57:22,800 it seems like we've made a commitment 1049 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,960 and a substantial commitment to the new 1050 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,700 technology that the police department 1051 00:57:26,700 --> 00:57:28,319 will be 1052 00:57:28,319 --> 00:57:29,940 um having and putting into place over 1053 00:57:29,940 --> 00:57:32,640 the next several years and 1054 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:33,660 um 1055 00:57:33,660 --> 00:57:37,680 I feel that that really 1056 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,960 weighs even harder that we probably 1057 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,780 should use the um Information Technology 1058 00:57:42,780 --> 00:57:45,960 Specialists within the police department 1059 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,119 um as opposed to being in I.T I think 1060 00:57:48,119 --> 00:57:50,460 also and the mayor spoke about this when 1061 00:57:50,460 --> 00:57:52,559 he presented the budget originally which 1062 00:57:52,559 --> 00:57:55,800 is that the need for cyber security 1063 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,720 um and the kinds of things that we're 1064 00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,599 all facing on but you know that the city 1065 00:58:00,599 --> 00:58:03,480 has been facing an increased level also 1066 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,119 puts additional burden on to the team 1067 00:58:06,119 --> 00:58:08,940 down in RIT department so 1068 00:58:08,940 --> 00:58:11,180 um I hear what you're saying I I I 1069 00:58:11,180 --> 00:58:14,460 in terms of siloing and and that type of 1070 00:58:14,460 --> 00:58:16,559 thing but even when I think about the 1071 00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:18,000 kinds of things that I'm hoping at least 1072 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,099 that we will be able to accomplish soon 1073 00:58:20,099 --> 00:58:22,559 sooner rather than later around traffic 1074 00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,440 issues or you know those kinds of things 1075 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:26,760 I mean there's going to be additional 1076 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:27,780 burden 1077 00:58:27,780 --> 00:58:29,940 um on our Police Department as well as 1078 00:58:29,940 --> 00:58:32,160 on you know some of the other technology 1079 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,579 that the city is currently employing so 1080 00:58:35,579 --> 00:58:40,300 I would still advocate for that position 1081 00:58:40,300 --> 00:58:40,680 [Music] 1082 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:41,520 um 1083 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,200 and I think there's other places where 1084 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,079 we could trim from the these suggestions 1085 00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:48,299 on this on this page that we that we 1086 00:58:48,299 --> 00:58:50,299 have in front of us this evening 1087 00:58:50,299 --> 00:58:53,520 just uh basically no say to address 1088 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:54,059 um 1089 00:58:54,059 --> 00:58:55,980 give commentary guys so miss the 1090 00:58:55,980 --> 00:58:58,260 collusion yes he has a building uh 1091 00:58:58,260 --> 00:58:59,760 principal building on it I mean people 1092 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,380 are who is actually functioning as an 1093 00:59:01,380 --> 00:59:09,870 I.T person 1094 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,540 [Music] 1095 00:59:12,540 --> 00:59:16,160 so he has the support here 1096 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,040 in his own Department 1097 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,260 the job description here is inaccurate 1098 00:59:22,260 --> 00:59:25,079 so that's what I am here so that's what 1099 00:59:25,079 --> 00:59:27,540 I'd say so yes he is having a backfield 1100 00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:29,579 here and that person's assistant and 1101 00:59:29,579 --> 00:59:31,500 also doing additional work to my point 1102 00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:33,240 of he's in other words he's not meeting 1103 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,660 the I.T result 1104 00:59:34,660 --> 00:59:39,530 [Music] 1105 00:59:39,540 --> 00:59:42,960 rather than having multiple hires so I 1106 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,339 think that's where the note I have from 1107 00:59:44,339 --> 00:59:47,950 based on feedback 1108 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,359 yes so with Exxon coming on board how is 1109 00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:54,000 that you know they you said they were 1110 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,440 going to be doing a lot of the they'll 1111 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,819 get the data and they'll be doing a lot 1112 00:59:56,819 --> 00:59:58,619 of the information you know they'll be 1113 00:59:58,619 --> 00:59:59,880 doing a lot with the data so can you 1114 00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:00,780 talk a little bit more about that 1115 01:00:00,780 --> 01:00:02,700 because you know that's what the IT 1116 01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:06,000 people do so how is Aston supplementing 1117 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,500 that since we're going into a contract 1118 01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:09,299 with that 1119 01:00:09,299 --> 01:00:11,220 well 1120 01:00:11,220 --> 01:00:13,500 one of the reasons why 1121 01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:16,380 uh this person is important for us is 1122 01:00:16,380 --> 01:00:18,059 the fact that is a technology 1123 01:00:18,059 --> 01:00:21,599 quartermaster for us and and Mr Williams 1124 01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:22,980 uh 1125 01:00:22,980 --> 01:00:25,380 point I just want to make clear that it 1126 01:00:25,380 --> 01:00:27,180 was never intended to take an I.T person 1127 01:00:27,180 --> 01:00:29,339 having work for me it was always going 1128 01:00:29,339 --> 01:00:32,760 to work for John's hierarchy with under 1129 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,799 bowand they would just be embedded at 1130 01:00:34,799 --> 01:00:37,500 the police department kept holding on to 1131 01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:40,079 all that Hardware that we need and then 1132 01:00:40,079 --> 01:00:41,819 be there to work on the software as 1133 01:00:41,819 --> 01:00:45,299 needed the axon technology once 1134 01:00:45,299 --> 01:00:48,119 implemented will certainly be less labor 1135 01:00:48,119 --> 01:00:49,920 intensive for doing so many things like 1136 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,960 production transcription and even 1137 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,400 finding and retrieving videos for our 1138 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,260 district attorney's office for Discovery 1139 01:00:58,260 --> 01:00:59,700 all that stuff is going to really 1140 01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:02,220 streamline all that there will be a need 1141 01:01:02,220 --> 01:01:04,799 for somebody to be a liaison to the 1142 01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:06,660 district attorney's office it just won't 1143 01:01:06,660 --> 01:01:09,480 be there as much so 1144 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,640 axon is actually going to make the job 1145 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,299 easier but we will have 1146 01:01:14,299 --> 01:01:16,920 what which we currently do have the 1147 01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,859 hardware maintenance piece of it we 1148 01:01:19,859 --> 01:01:21,420 currently have that with Panasonic we 1149 01:01:21,420 --> 01:01:23,819 will have that with axon if a camera 1150 01:01:23,819 --> 01:01:25,980 breaks it has to be taken and sent out 1151 01:01:25,980 --> 01:01:28,799 for repair a spare taken out of storage 1152 01:01:28,799 --> 01:01:31,920 and issued out and of course the logging 1153 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:37,390 and tracking with all that stuff 1154 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,670 thank you 1155 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,319 any other questions for the chief 1156 01:01:46,319 --> 01:01:49,549 thank you thank you 1157 01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:53,040 the other one I just want to um on page 1158 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,559 one all the way to the bottom 1159 01:01:55,559 --> 01:01:58,440 fleet manager this was a recommendation 1160 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,720 from the mayor and Commissioner of 1161 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:04,260 Finance so make this adjustment on this 1162 01:02:04,260 --> 01:02:05,700 sheet 1163 01:02:05,700 --> 01:02:08,700 some of the place manager and assign the 1164 01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:17,809 funding onto the assistant fleet manager 1165 01:02:17,819 --> 01:02:20,140 32. 1166 01:02:20,140 --> 01:02:33,589 [Music] 1167 01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:38,870 that's what this is 1168 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,230 um 1169 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,280 so I think when we heard about that 1170 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,339 position from I guess it looks like it 1171 01:02:47,339 --> 01:02:48,839 must have been 1172 01:02:48,839 --> 01:02:53,400 Mr Food Show maybe Mr Lavon was it Mr 1173 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,140 um he mentioned that the fleet manager 1174 01:02:55,140 --> 01:02:57,000 position was a contractual position so 1175 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,680 it's okay to eliminate a contractual 1176 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,540 this is way a city 1177 01:03:02,540 --> 01:03:05,180 this is a 1178 01:03:05,180 --> 01:03:09,780 once uh in the csca bargain 1179 01:03:09,780 --> 01:03:11,579 so we'd be eliminating a position from 1180 01:03:11,579 --> 01:03:14,299 the cscaa 1181 01:03:14,299 --> 01:03:26,390 Civil Service issue 1182 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,660 so 1183 01:03:27,660 --> 01:03:30,119 what was the final step on this the 1184 01:03:30,119 --> 01:03:35,230 assistant 1185 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,870 right there 1186 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,040 are you talking about 1187 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,040 step five that's probably fair I'm sorry 1188 01:03:44,040 --> 01:04:01,430 step six step six 1189 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,579 music here that we talk about this 1190 01:04:04,579 --> 01:04:08,339 last week and I think I made some more 1191 01:04:08,339 --> 01:04:10,980 but I want to clarify it so I am almost 1192 01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:13,880 Patrick you were asking for this to be 1193 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,040 coming from the general fund instead of 1194 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,809 um 1195 01:04:20,819 --> 01:04:23,220 I did make notes but I wasn't getting 1196 01:04:23,220 --> 01:04:25,200 along with it so I'm not sure if you 1197 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,940 want to talk about it I think you talk 1198 01:04:26,940 --> 01:04:28,500 about it but if you don't mind I did 1199 01:04:28,500 --> 01:04:30,119 speak about it um the reason that I 1200 01:04:30,119 --> 01:04:31,740 would prefer seeing you come from the 1201 01:04:31,740 --> 01:04:33,540 general fund 1202 01:04:33,540 --> 01:04:36,900 um I think that what I said at the last 1203 01:04:36,900 --> 01:04:38,520 meeting was that music Haven is a 1204 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,619 tremendous resource in terms of the 1205 01:04:40,619 --> 01:04:43,319 diversity of the audiences that come the 1206 01:04:43,319 --> 01:04:45,839 thousands of people that come throughout 1207 01:04:45,839 --> 01:04:47,640 the summer to not only the concert 1208 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,059 series but also the support that paid 1209 01:04:51,059 --> 01:04:53,700 music Haven staff at that point 1210 01:04:53,700 --> 01:04:55,319 um also give to some of our special 1211 01:04:55,319 --> 01:04:58,980 events that take place at music Haven 1212 01:04:58,980 --> 01:05:00,900 um so 1213 01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:03,420 basically the twenty thousand dollars 1214 01:05:03,420 --> 01:05:06,660 um would help support probably the music 1215 01:05:06,660 --> 01:05:09,299 um aspect of Music Haven 1216 01:05:09,299 --> 01:05:12,420 um music Haven itself raises 1217 01:05:12,420 --> 01:05:15,660 um sometimes more than 150 000 in 1218 01:05:15,660 --> 01:05:17,760 private funding every summer to do what 1219 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:19,440 they need to do 1220 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,960 um to present this concert series 1221 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,700 um and supplement the other activities 1222 01:05:23,700 --> 01:05:27,119 such as Caribbean day or Juneteenth 1223 01:05:27,119 --> 01:05:30,180 um that happen in Central Park so 1224 01:05:30,180 --> 01:05:32,160 um that was what I was advocating for 1225 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,020 and I was hoping that it would go into 1226 01:05:34,020 --> 01:05:38,579 the general operating budget and thus be 1227 01:05:38,579 --> 01:05:40,559 something that we would discuss again in 1228 01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:44,640 2024's general operating budget 1229 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,740 so that's why I had suggested that 1230 01:05:46,740 --> 01:05:48,839 instead of Harper thank

01:07:26,220 --> 01:07:29,039 I definitely support that 1266 01:07:29,039 --> 01:07:31,380 we discussed this by last Friday but I 1267 01:07:31,380 --> 01:07:35,990 just want to Echo it's worth 1268 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,400 and we got an opportunity to um to 1269 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,500 listen to that photo 1270 01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:45,539 yeah and on the success of the program 1271 01:07:45,539 --> 01:07:47,700 and things like that so you know we were 1272 01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:49,319 briefed on the many things that happened 1273 01:07:49,319 --> 01:07:51,359 here 1274 01:07:51,359 --> 01:08:08,710 foreign 1275 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,380 office and we see that there's 1276 01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:17,040 added changes here so any discussion on 1277 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,000 um 1278 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,679 the affirmative action 1279 01:08:19,679 --> 01:08:20,699 um 1280 01:08:20,699 --> 01:08:24,660 officer and they added staff and the 1281 01:08:24,660 --> 01:08:28,610 expense 1282 01:08:28,620 --> 01:08:35,209 at 1430 100. 1283 01:08:35,219 --> 01:08:37,920 I can say I do support that we heard 1284 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,500 from Mr Mr Gardner in regarding what 1285 01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:41,759 they're doing what also what they're 1286 01:08:41,759 --> 01:08:43,799 trying to do in addition the mayor has 1287 01:08:43,799 --> 01:08:45,779 consistently said that he wants to do a 1288 01:08:45,779 --> 01:08:47,219 program that would use 1289 01:08:47,219 --> 01:08:49,859 folks from that um from from what Mr 1290 01:08:49,859 --> 01:08:51,839 Gardner was doing and the program that 1291 01:08:51,839 --> 01:08:54,359 he's running he has been 1292 01:08:54,359 --> 01:08:56,279 kind of doing what he's doing with 1293 01:08:56,279 --> 01:09:01,739 assistance from other staff but not a dedicate not dedicated staff to do 1294 01:09:01,739 --> 01:09:03,480 what he's doing and I believe he's I 1295 01:09:03,480 --> 01:09:06,179 he's shown results he's shown that you 1296 01:09:06,179 --> 01:09:08,040 know he's getting getting some getting 1297 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,839 the work done that he's intended to do 1298 01:09:09,839 --> 01:09:12,540 however I'm sure that uh he could use 1299 01:09:12,540 --> 01:09:14,040 some relief I know he spends a lot of 1300 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,160 hours here uh at City Hall 1301 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,560 and so I think we should just go we 1302 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,239 should do this to increase the work 1303 01:09:21,239 --> 01:09:22,560 that's being done and to support the 1304 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,179 other programs that are being suggested 1305 01:09:24,179 --> 01:09:27,719 and to also make sure that as we have 1306 01:09:27,719 --> 01:09:29,940 different projects that are here in the 1307 01:09:29,940 --> 01:09:31,560 city that we have folks who are coming 1308 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,600 through this program we're able to be 1309 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:35,699 able to work on those projects in the 1310 01:09:35,699 --> 01:09:38,400 city and therefore increase the people 1311 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,380 who live here because that's one of the 1312 01:09:40,380 --> 01:09:42,299 things he's focused on to make sure that 1313 01:09:42,299 --> 01:09:45,660 they are be able to gain an income buy a 1314 01:09:45,660 --> 01:09:47,699 home themselves and do all that so I 1315 01:09:47,699 --> 01:09:49,319 know this program is doing well and part 1316 01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:50,580 of what we always talk about when we 1317 01:09:50,580 --> 01:09:53,040 talk about budgeting things is that the 1318 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:58,080 program has to produce or or show some results and his program has 1319 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,239 definitely shown results so I would I 1320 01:10:00,239 --> 01:10:03,950 would support that 1321 01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,090 and the other comments in this 1322 01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:10,199 the other one I would like to also touch 1323 01:10:10,199 --> 01:10:12,480 base on is a deputy registered and this 1324 01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:13,920 might come on let's put Tennis Club do 1325 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,080 you want to talk about this position on 1326 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,780 the important and why you need about it 1327 01:10:18,780 --> 01:10:21,300 sorry I missed you last Friday so we'll 1328 01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:23,880 talk about it and I have a military that 1329 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,219 says I should ask you to kind of give us 1330 01:10:26,219 --> 01:10:29,400 a brief a brief summary 1331 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:35,870 on what's happening there 1332 01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,940 so the deputy registrar position 1333 01:10:38,940 --> 01:10:41,880 is needed for many of much of the vital 1334 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,940 records that we're doing right now the 1335 01:10:44,940 --> 01:10:48,169 state has 1336 01:10:48,179 --> 01:10:52,020 changed many of their processes within 1337 01:10:52,020 --> 01:10:53,219 the past year 1338 01:10:53,219 --> 01:10:54,840 where they've increased it and shifted 1339 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,000 the burden onto the municipality rather 1340 01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,840 than onto the safe employee more of the 1341 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,840 filing and even printing of documents 1342 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,580 where they're not providing us all of 1343 01:11:05,580 --> 01:11:07,199 that anymore 1344 01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:11,640 so it's needed that where we have these 1345 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,040 staff Staffing 1346 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:21,050 support all of that 1347 01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:22,679 and I just almost pulled them back and 1348 01:11:22,679 --> 01:11:24,120 we did talk about the principal building 1349 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:25,980 audience on AP clerk who is actually 1350 01:11:25,980 --> 01:11:29,640 functioning as an iot person 1620-100 1351 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,159 but straightforward to the page that 1352 01:11:32,159 --> 01:11:34,679 person is actually getting adjustment 1353 01:11:34,679 --> 01:11:57,250 and functioning design people 1354 01:11:57,260 --> 01:12:08,090 thank you 1355 01:12:08,100 --> 01:12:11,640 go ahead sorry I I think that um this is 1356 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:13,440 sort of a general statement across the 1357 01:12:13,440 --> 01:12:15,780 uh Staffing lines and I want to start 1358 01:12:15,780 --> 01:12:18,600 out by saying I have the utmost respect 1359 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,880 um for the work that our city staff does 1360 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,520 but there's also 1361 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,020 for me 1362 01:12:25,020 --> 01:12:26,520 and I guess I want to hear a little bit 1363 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,620 more from the mirror but 1364 01:12:28,620 --> 01:12:31,679 I feel that over the course of the time 1365 01:12:31,679 --> 01:12:34,679 before the budget was presented to us in 1366 01:12:34,679 --> 01:12:37,500 its original form obviously the mayor is 1367 01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:40,679 the CEO of our city met with all the 1368 01:12:40,679 --> 01:12:42,600 cotton heads met with you know our 1369 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,820 Commissioner of finance and and 1370 01:12:44,820 --> 01:12:45,659 um 1371 01:12:45,659 --> 01:12:47,880 I'm 1372 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,340 a little uncomfortable with making 1373 01:12:50,340 --> 01:12:53,520 decisions that are not the decisions 1374 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,659 that our CEO has spent time on 1375 01:12:57,659 --> 01:13:00,600 deliberating And discussing I feel that 1376 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,760 it is our responsibility because the 1377 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:04,380 budget is our responsibility I 1378 01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:06,300 understand that completely but I also 1379 01:13:06,300 --> 01:13:08,880 feel that the day-to-day sort of 1380 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,040 operational 1381 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,860 piece of what happens here 1382 01:13:13,860 --> 01:13:16,560 um is just not uh you know I think we're 1383 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:18,659 here a lot all of us are here a lot 1384 01:13:18,659 --> 01:13:20,340 meeting with folks and and seeing what 1385 01:13:20,340 --> 01:13:21,960 happens but we don't have that same 1386 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,060 level of day-to-day operational 1387 01:13:24,060 --> 01:13:25,980 expertise 1388 01:13:25,980 --> 01:13:27,300 um so 1389 01:13:27,300 --> 01:13:29,580 I don't know if you want to comment but 1390 01:13:29,580 --> 01:13:31,560 we're making you know this would make 1391 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,960 Staffing changes 1392 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:35,640 um 1393 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,280 uh again I've made my recommendations 1394 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,159 for Council 1395 01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:42,719 to democracy some people have the 1396 01:13:42,719 --> 01:13:47,100 opportunity to do an end run may present 1397 01:13:47,100 --> 01:13:49,679 the council with more of a limited 1398 01:13:49,679 --> 01:13:51,239 perspective 1399 01:13:51,239 --> 01:13:53,820 and but that becomes your final decision 1400 01:13:53,820 --> 01:13:55,620 my recommendation for the original 1401 01:13:55,620 --> 01:14:04,870 budget 1402 01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:08,880 so go ahead so I understand what you're 1403 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,739 saying Miss Patrick however you know it 1404 01:14:10,739 --> 01:14:13,500 is the council the council to to 1405 01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:17,360 um to pass the budget to make sure that 1406 01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,800 you try to make sure that all 1407 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,540 departments are 1408 01:14:21,540 --> 01:14:24,120 able to function to vestibility we have 1409 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:25,620 continually talked about the openings 1410 01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:26,820 that we have that's just been a 1411 01:14:26,820 --> 01:14:29,520 conversation for quite some time and I 1412 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,980 respect that uh you know deferring to 1413 01:14:31,980 --> 01:14:33,719 the mayor however it is a system of 1414 01:14:33,719 --> 01:14:37,260 checks and balances and so part of our 1415 01:14:37,260 --> 01:14:39,600 responsibility is to you know to pass 1416 01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,699 the budget and to and 1417 01:14:41,699 --> 01:14:44,520 I know that the mayor going into this as 1418 01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,699 any of C CFO or CEO would is knowing 1419 01:14:47,699 --> 01:14:49,080 that what they present won't doesn't 1420 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:50,280 necessarily mean that's what's going to 1421 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,199 walk out the door so I believe that the 1422 01:14:52,199 --> 01:14:54,179 mayor as has approached this as a 1423 01:14:54,179 --> 01:14:56,100 negotiation process as he does all 1424 01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:58,080 negotiations and that things will change 1425 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,300 so I I don't think that's lost on any of 1426 01:15:00,300 --> 01:15:01,800 us so 1427 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,300 um I'm not sure if there's a particular 1428 01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:08,159 Department that you're thinking that we 1429 01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:09,780 you know we've made too many changes or 1430 01:15:09,780 --> 01:15:13,199 we shouldn't make any changes but 1431 01:15:13,199 --> 01:15:15,719 um it's you know it's something that we 1432 01:15:15,719 --> 01:15:17,159 have to really consider in terms of 1433 01:15:17,159 --> 01:15:18,659 Staffing we can talk about it all the 1434 01:15:18,659 --> 01:15:20,760 time how there's limited Staffing houses 1435 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,100 where the city is understaffed we've 1436 01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:24,780 heard it from the department heads not 1437 01:15:24,780 --> 01:15:26,580 only just during budget season I mean on 1438 01:15:26,580 --> 01:15:29,040 a continual basis we've had Cohen 1439 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,480 Sportsman who is doing better now when 1440 01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:32,040 there was a discussion and said how many 1441 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,080 people are

01:15:46,140 of that is making sure we're standing at 1448 01:15:46,140 --> 01:15:50,750 the level that we can do that 1449 01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,159 I'm just to answer that I mean almost 1450 01:15:53,159 --> 01:15:54,900 every budget as long as I've been in the 1451 01:15:54,900 --> 01:15:58,080 council we have made changes we have 1452 01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,640 made changes and be

adopted uh and then we have documents 1456 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:12,550 Financial Services 1457 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,540 we have to look at the minute also look 1458 01:16:15,540 --> 01:16:17,100 at the uh 1459 01:16:17,100 --> 01:16:20,520 the numbers in the budget and also take 1460 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,440 more time to look at we can't pass on 1461 01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,659 importance of attack speed 1462 01:16:24,659 --> 01:16:26,880 every time we have to you know 1463 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,159 increments in this budget we're looking 1464 01:16:29,159 --> 01:16:32,219 at passing on some fees increased 1465 01:16:32,219 --> 01:16:35,820 to the taxpayer water and soil 1466 01:16:35,820 --> 01:16:37,620 some of us mentioned last week that they 1467 01:16:37,620 --> 01:16:38,699 were 1468 01:16:38,699 --> 01:16:43,500 followed no increase I myself made a 1469 01:16:43,500 --> 01:16:46,199 followed no increase after talking to 1470 01:16:46,199 --> 01:16:48,719 the mayor I am comfortable to for a 1471 01:16:48,719 --> 01:16:52,560 small increase and yes I am open to next 1472 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,739 year to look at another increase because 1473 01:16:55,739 --> 01:17:00,179 we have Debt Pay 2020 believe 2023 into 1474 01:17:00,179 --> 01:17:03,179 2024 and a couple changing the position 1475 01:17:03,179 --> 01:17:04,980 after listening to the media this 1476 01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:07,500 afternoon and Mr Ferrari on how we move 1477 01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:12,950 forward in one episode 1478 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:17,159 about half of that and next year I'm 1479 01:17:17,159 --> 01:17:19,860 committed to to look at that and to 1480 01:17:19,860 --> 01:17:20,760 support 1481 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,980 our living flower 1482 01:17:22,980 --> 01:17:25,800 so just on that note 1483 01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,340 um in terms of the tax cut 1484 01:17:29,340 --> 01:17:31,440 um and certainly I understand I mean I'm 1485 01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:34,320 a resident here as well obviously uh you 1486 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,300 know we know what our tax situation is 1487 01:17:36,300 --> 01:17:40,260 but my My worry is that if we do make a 1488 01:17:40,260 --> 01:17:43,739 tax cut of even the one percent 1489 01:17:43,739 --> 01:17:45,719 um what happens next year I mean are we 1490 01:17:45,719 --> 01:17:47,880 going to end up having to increase taxes 1491 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,219 by two percent 1492 01:17:50,219 --> 01:17:53,760 um you know or in other words is there 1493 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,940 an incremental change even there that on 1494 01:17:56,940 --> 01:17:59,940 like the changes that are being 1495 01:17:59,940 --> 01:18:01,620 presented tonight in those other two 1496 01:18:01,620 --> 01:18:03,239 funds 1497 01:18:03,239 --> 01:18:05,460 um I just want to get a thought on what 1498 01:18:05,460 --> 01:18:07,320 does the future hold 1499 01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:11,280 um if we if we if I can address that 1500 01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,440 basic conversation that I have the 1501 01:18:13,440 --> 01:18:14,960 commission on finance 1502 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,699 we have money set aside from our money 1503 01:18:17,699 --> 01:18:21,900 set aside for 25 October 2023 2024 so 1504 01:18:21,900 --> 01:18:23,760 how can any deficit that's what we took 1505 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:26,100 some money today to help in this 2013 1506 01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:28,500 budget they are additional funding 1507 01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:30,900 available there 1508 01:18:30,900 --> 01:18:32,580 in the millions of dollars to help push 1509 01:18:32,580 --> 01:18:33,960 it that's what you're talking about 1510 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,719 there so if there's any shortfall 1511 01:18:36,719 --> 01:18:39,360 the budget is there except we can't use 1512 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,100 it for the tax cut 1513 01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:43,320 um so we have to really look at you know 1514 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:45,120 this other 300 last week we have a 1515 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,800 Special Olympics a priority and he 1516 01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:48,900 mentioned to us that the revenue of 1517 01:18:48,900 --> 01:18:50,280 looking at increasing revenue and 1518 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,679 revenue sustainable 1519 01:18:52,679 --> 01:18:54,659 over the years so that we can sustain 1520 01:18:54,659 --> 01:18:57,360 after Harper is over and done 1521 01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,460 we have Revenue coming in to keep these 1522 01:18:59,460 --> 01:19:01,860 jobs in the surface flooring so that was 1523 01:19:01,860 --> 01:19:04,560 Mr Ferrari's comment last week to us how 1524 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,380 do we sustain these 1525 01:19:07,380 --> 01:19:11,300 circus and uh after the monitor 1526 01:19:11,300 --> 01:19:14,100 and I have one more thing I do want to 1527 01:19:14,100 --> 01:19:16,260 end with all due respect 1528 01:19:16,260 --> 01:19:19,440 um in terms of adding the legal services 1529 01:19:19,440 --> 01:19:21,840 um to city council and I guess the 1530 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:23,640 civilian police review board 1531 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,060 I really feel hearing from you and the 1532 01:19:27,060 --> 01:19:29,340 mayor last week about the fact that and 1533 01:19:29,340 --> 01:19:31,380 I've talked to some folks since then the 1534 01:19:31,380 --> 01:19:32,820 fact that there used to be an attorney 1535 01:19:32,820 --> 01:19:37,020 from our Corporation Council who uh his 1536 01:19:37,020 --> 01:19:38,219 office 1537 01:19:38,219 --> 01:19:40,020 um who would attend every civilian 1538 01:19:40,020 --> 01:19:42,060 police review board 1539 01:19:42,060 --> 01:19:44,760 um I would love to see that reinstated 1540 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,800 rather than spending more money on an 1541 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,159 additional attorney and with that in 1542 01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:51,719 terms of you know discussion and 1543 01:19:51,719 --> 01:19:54,480 compromise Etc I really don't think that 1544 01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:58,260 we need to add an attorney 1545 01:19:58,260 --> 01:20:00,960 um for city council I just 1546 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,260 um you know as I said last week 1547 01:20:04,260 --> 01:20:06,540 um I think that 1548 01:20:06,540 --> 01:20:10,739 in terms of the support that we get from 1549 01:20:10,739 --> 01:20:13,380 our Corporation Council when any of us 1550 01:20:13,380 --> 01:20:16,380 have an issue or a question or something 1551 01:20:16,380 --> 01:20:18,900 that you know we need legal a legal 1552 01:20:18,900 --> 01:20:21,239 opinion I guess I would say 1553 01:20:21,239 --> 01:20:25,140 um I have been completely satisfied 1554 01:20:25,140 --> 01:20:26,880 um and I don't think it's been too much 1555 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,320 of an additional burden I think probably 1556 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,360 in the three years that I've that I've 1557 01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,960 been on Console I've probably you know 1558 01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,960 could count on my on one hand maybe 1559 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,320 um and you know Mr Golden has always 1560 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:43,140 either met with me or certainly You Know 1561 01:20:43,140 --> 01:20:46,320 spoken with me about my concerns so 1562 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,420 I don't know I don't want to put you on 1563 01:20:48,420 --> 01:20:50,280 the spot but I just don't see the need 1564 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,960 at least for 1565 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,360 um an additional hire 1566 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,400 um to work with city council I just 1567 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:57,420 think that's 1568 01:20:57,420 --> 01:20:59,580 spending money that we don't we don't 1569 01:20:59,580 --> 01:21:02,100 need because we have you know the 1570 01:21:02,100 --> 01:21:03,600 expertise here and the corporation 1571 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,580 council's office 1572 01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:07,260 just to clarify we're not we would we 1573 01:21:07,260 --> 01:21:08,640 put it we wouldn't have hired someone 1574 01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,880 here that's what we're talking about fees for services so 1575 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,760 if all right but okay I just mean it's 1576 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,100 fifty thousand dollars that I don't 1577 01:21:17,100 --> 01:21:18,659 really really think that we need to 1578 01:21:18,659 --> 01:21:20,400 spend additionally if we're looking for 1579 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:23,250 ways to you know make up for example the 1580 01:21:23,250 --> 01:21:23,520 [Music] 1581 01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:24,600 um 1582 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,659 you know the 316 000 or any of these 1583 01:21:27,659 --> 01:21:29,880 other changes that would be a place that 1584 01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,520 I think that we could eliminate some 1585 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,860 money from from this proposal 1586 01:21:34,860 --> 01:21:38,640 my question is you so you're saying that 1587 01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,699 um due to your your experience of you 1588 01:21:41,699 --> 01:21:43,500 know speaking from your experience that 1589 01:21:43,500 --> 01:21:44,880 um 1590 01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,400 that we have I know you have more than 1591 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,560 adequate legal support for City Council 1592 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,790 election position right 1593 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,739 for the police Community review board 1594 01:21:55,739 --> 01:22:01,020 um you don't think that uh they need any 1595 01:22:01,020 --> 01:22:03,360 outside counsel that they would need I'd 1596 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,580 like to see us return to the model that 1597 01:22:05,580 --> 01:22:08,340 existed when Mr motivator for example 1598 01:22:08,340 --> 01:22:11,280 was on the civilian police review board 1599 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,860 um where someone from our Corporation 1600 01:22:13,860 --> 01:22:15,480 council's office and I understand that 1601 01:22:15,480 --> 01:22:18,600 this would you know add to uh once a 1602 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,640 month the work of your office but 1603 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,140 apparently 1604 01:22:22,140 --> 01:22:23,880 um there was someone from that office 1605 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,219 that would would attend every civilian 1606 01:22:26,219 --> 01:22:28,080 produced review board meeting and I 1607 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:29,520 think also the fact is that we have the 1608 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,340 commissioner of Public Safety as well 1609 01:22:32,340 --> 01:22:35,400 um you know we'll also can lend 1610 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:39,360 um Council to the civilian police report 1611 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:43,020 as well so I just throw that out there 1612 01:22:43,020 --> 01:22:44,580 and open the circus session and 1613 01:22:44,580 --> 01:22:47,760 compromise yeah so I guess my question 1614 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,199 is so 1615 01:22:49,199 --> 01:22:51,420 have you spoken to anyone from the 1616 01:22:51,420 --> 01:22:53,520 police review board about this issue 1617 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,560 since last time we met I did yeah okay 1618 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,239 and they gave they told you that they 1619 01:22:57,239 --> 01:22:58,620 didn't think that they needed the person 1620 01:22:58,620 --> 01:23:00,960 that I spoke to had formally actually 1621 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:02,699 also been on the civilian police review 1622 01:23:02,699 --> 01:23:05,880 board and also expressed some problems 1623 01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,260 um that someone from the corporation 1624 01:23:07,260 --> 01:23:09,780 council's office no longer met with the 1625 01:23:09,780 --> 01:23:11,760 civilian police review board on a 1626 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,580 regular basis and so in other words I 1627 01:23:14,580 --> 01:23:16,560 thought that that would be fun okay so 1628 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,540 they so they were saying that this used 1629 01:23:18,540 --> 01:23:20,100 to happen this practice is no longer 1630 01:23:20,100 --> 01:23:21,480 happening so they're saying it returned 1631 01:23:21,480 --> 01:23:23,640 to that progress okay so what I would 1632 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:24,840 say too is that you know the 1633 01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,600 conversations that I had with people 1634 01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:30,420 um I think that this board is is very 1635 01:23:30,420 --> 01:23:32,340 unique to the other boards they serve a 1636 01:23:32,340 --> 01:23:35,880 very unique uh a need and 1637 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,480 the idea that you know we are limiting 1638 01:23:39,480 --> 01:23:40,980 which 1639 01:23:40,980 --> 01:23:43,440 I see and they the person I spoke to 1640 01:23:43,440 --> 01:23:46,140 agreed that we would be kind of limiting 1641 01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:49,580 their resources to do this already very 1642 01:23:49,580 --> 01:23:52,440 important uh job 1643 01:23:52,440 --> 01:23:54,960 so I I don't see why why we wanted to do 1644 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,179 that and we can't again to me in my 1645 01:23:57,179 --> 01:23:59,340 opinion we can't kind of and I'm not 1646 01:23:59,340 --> 01:24:00,840 saying you're doing this I'm saying you 1647 01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:02,880 know this is what I don't want to do I 1648 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,219 don't want to pay lip service to say how 1649 01:24:05,219 --> 01:24:07,260 important this is and then the people 1650 01:24:07,260 --> 01:24:09,960 who are in the position to do the job 1651 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,000 that we're recommending and asking them 1652 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,699 to do if they're asking um and saying 1653 01:24:14,699 --> 01:24:15,960 that there's a need for that and we have 1654 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,520 the means to meet that need then we need 1655 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,140 to do that because it's not I feel like 1656 01:24:19,140 --> 01:24:21,480 we're not we're just kind of 1657 01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:23,760 checking that box effect it's important 1658 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:25,679 but 1659 01:24:25,679 --> 01:24:28,199 you know you can get your needs met this 1660 01:24:28,199 --> 01:24:31,560 way when they have a very specific uh 1661 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,219 kind of uh very unique role in that 1662 01:24:35,219 --> 01:24:37,020 board and there's a lot of other uh 1663 01:24:37,020 --> 01:24:39,300 variables but a lot of tensions that 1664 01:24:39,300 --> 01:24:40,560 they have to balance to certain that 1665 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,080 capacity so I just don't see how he 1666 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,179 would 1667 01:24:45,179 --> 01:24:47,219 understand the complexity and the 1668 01:24:47,219 --> 01:24:49,040 gravity of what they do without 1669 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:52,640 resourcing them adequately 1670 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:55,920 I think that's the manor and the chief I 1671 01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,980 think you meet regularly with the 1672 01:24:58,980 --> 01:25:00,120 leadership 1673 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:04,080 has the leadership ever asked for this 1674 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,320 or said that none of their needs are 1675 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:09,199 being met 1676 01:25:09,199 --> 01:25:12,780 like just back up I think they said 1677 01:25:12,780 --> 01:25:14,340 there was always a Corporation Council 1678 01:25:14,340 --> 01:25:16,380 to me I'm not sure that was 100 true but 1679 01:25:16,380 --> 01:25:18,840 like 90 some percent of the time they 1680 01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,080 would have somebody there and what seems 1681 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,540 to have collapse somehow was the request 1682 01:25:24,540 --> 01:25:26,760 getting to the corporation council's 1683 01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,199 office that there was going to be a 1684 01:25:28,199 --> 01:25:28,920 meeting 1685 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,860 so that where we haven't been Staffing 1686 01:25:31,860 --> 01:25:34,260 it the request hasn't been put in 1687 01:25:34,260 --> 01:25:36,120 or something to be there it's like oh 1688 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,640 I'm not blaming yeah 1689 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,500 please go ahead um we've actually spoke 1690 01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:42,780 to Scott Barbara Rich over at the police 1691 01:25:42,780 --> 01:25:47,390 department recently who um 1692 01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:49,140 Daryl Mallard 1693 01:25:49,140 --> 01:25:52,020 um in the past so prior to maybe 1694 01:25:52,020 --> 01:25:53,820 becoming a Corporation Council back in 1695 01:25:53,820 --> 01:25:56,699 uh Mr Valentino in this Corporation 1696 01:25:56,699 --> 01:25:58,040 Council 1697 01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,679 we attended I attended 1698 01:26:01,679 --> 01:26:02,760 um 1699 01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:07,370 a smattering of cprb meetings 1700 01:26:07,380 --> 01:26:10,560 I can think on one occasion a question 1701 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,320 came up for me during those meetings 1702 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,920 because generally what had happened was 1703 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,600 I think at the time dick shave was still 1704 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,060 the chairperson who had been chair for 1705 01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:23,760 quite a while obviously and I know you 1706 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,520 know council president Williams 1707 01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,760 eventually joined uh 1708 01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,739 the questions were more geared toward 1709 01:26:31,739 --> 01:26:35,699 and from when I was there 1710 01:26:35,699 --> 01:26:38,360 questions about materials 1711 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,340 not so much legal questions of any sort 1712 01:26:41,340 --> 01:26:44,760 and obviously I'm you know available if 1713 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,840 a question ever came up and sticking to 1714 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:49,440 um 1715 01:26:49,440 --> 01:26:51,900 officer bobrowman she indicated that you 1716 01:26:51,900 --> 01:26:53,659 know there haven't been 1717 01:26:53,659 --> 01:26:57,900 a whole lot of cprb meetings at times 1718 01:26:57,900 --> 01:27:01,020 because of Quorum issues I think there 1719 01:27:01,020 --> 01:27:03,179 may have you know I know this is this is 1720 01:27:03,179 --> 01:27:05,040 a quorum issue that actually went back 1721 01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:08,040 quite a ways right but I think there may 1722 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,320 have been at least I think I don't know 1723 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:11,940 maybe four or five meetings that didn't 1724 01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:13,639 happen because they couldn't get a form 1725 01:27:13,639 --> 01:27:17,360 that being said you know I'm available 1726 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,739 you know certainly you know if there are 1727 01:27:19,739 --> 01:27:22,020 questions that you know that are arising 1728 01:27:22,020 --> 01:27:23,400 during those meetings or questions 1729 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:27,179 related to process or processes in 1730 01:27:27,179 --> 01:27:29,100 person you know obviously I have you 1731 01:27:29,100 -->

you 1759 01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:32,820 know those meetings were legal questions 1760 01:28:32,820 --> 01:28:36,060 tend to come up and we've said if for 1761 01:28:36,060 --> 01:28:37,800 some reason we can't stop a particular 1762 01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,719 meeting if there's an issue that comes 1763 01:28:39,719 --> 01:28:42,420 up that could not be addressed at that 1764 01:28:42,420 --> 01:28:44,580 point in time to you know if they can 1765 01:28:44,580 --> 01:28:47,040 table the issue their cable the matter 1766 01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,920 and you know bring it to us but or if 1767 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,980 they know anticipate that there's going 1768 01:28:52,980 --> 01:28:54,540 to be a legal question let us know in 1769 01:28:54,540 --> 01:28:57,179 advance so we can be there now if you 1770 01:28:57,179 --> 01:28:59,460 know this is the first time that I've 1771 01:28:59,460 --> 01:29:01,860 seen on paper this you know allocation 1772 01:29:01,860 --> 01:29:04,199 for outside Council to the police review 1773 01:29:04,199 --> 01:29:06,179 board but apparently there's apparently 1774 01:29:06,179 --> 01:29:08,760 there's been some issue that hasn't been 1775 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,699 brought my attention about the use of 1776 01:29:11,699 --> 01:29:13,620 you know about legal questions coming up 1777 01:29:13,620 --> 01:29:15,960 during the cprb meetings I'm happy to 1778 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,239 you know make sure that either I attend 1779 01:29:18,239 --> 01:29:20,639 the meeting or my assistant Corporation 1780 01:29:20,639 --> 01:29:22,020 Council attends the meeting to address 1781 01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:27,000 those issues and it's obviously like any other time if there's a legal 1782 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,100 question that we can address we don't 1783 01:29:29,100 --> 01:29:31,380 know everything we can't know everything 1784 01:29:31,380 --> 01:29:34,080 about the law but I'm happy to you know 1785 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:35,940 don't reach out to outside counsel 1786 01:29:35,940 --> 01:29:37,800 obtain outside counsel because one thing 1787 01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,620 I don't want to do is obviously provide 1788 01:29:40,620 --> 01:29:42,840 bad legal advice right take early 1789 01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,540 because I I you know I believe in cprb I 1790 01:29:45,540 --> 01:29:46,920 know the sensitive issues that they deal 1791 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,739 with and because of that it's it's 1792 01:29:49,739 --> 01:29:51,600 important right that if we're going to 1793 01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:53,159 provide a little advice that you know we 1794 01:29:53,159 --> 01:29:54,900 get it right and if we don't know the 1795 01:29:54,900 --> 01:29:57,060 answer we don't make up an answer we 1796 01:29:57,060 --> 01:30:01,199 refer it out to outside counsel so 1797 01:30:01,199 --> 01:30:04,080 my my take on it is you know I have my 1798 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,239 own outside counsel like you know that's 1799 01:30:06,239 --> 01:30:08,400 in part of my budget I'd rather try to 1800 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:09,960 address this in-house because I think 1801 01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:11,820 it's a better use of dollars and cents 1802 01:30:11,820 --> 01:30:13,860 and see if we can address the issue and 1803 01:30:13,860 --> 01:30:15,540 you know we'll commit to going to the 1804 01:30:15,540 --> 01:30:18,420 cprb meetings on a regular occasion 1805 01:30:18,420 --> 01:30:20,580 um and if we can't answer those legal 1806 01:30:20,580 --> 01:30:22,679 questions we'll refer to outside counsel 1807 01:30:22,679 --> 01:30:25,260 we'll seek outside council's advice to 1808 01:30:25,260 --> 01:30:27,120 address those concerns 1809 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,340 so my question is so if we budget for 1810 01:30:29,340 --> 01:30:30,540 this 1811 01:30:30,540 --> 01:30:32,639 and because again I think that what 1812 01:30:32,639 --> 01:30:35,340 we're we don't want to pin to good 1813 01:30:35,340 --> 01:30:37,080 practices against each other and that's 1814 01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:39,060 what I don't want to see us do so I 1815 01:30:39,060 --> 01:30:40,860 think that I appreciate 1816 01:30:40,860 --> 01:30:42,480 um you know kind of your office 1817 01:30:42,480 --> 01:30:44,100 recommitting to attending these meetings 1818 01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:45,960 I think that that is really a beneficial 1819 01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,120 thing and into the capacity that you 1820 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:49,500 could do so I'm sure that they would 1821 01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:51,300 appreciate it as well 1822 01:30:51,300 --> 01:30:52,139 um 1823 01:30:52,139 --> 01:30:54,179 so I think that that's a yes and then 1824 01:30:54,179 --> 01:30:55,860 the and would be 1825 01:30:55,860 --> 01:30:58,199 um you know because what happens if we 1826 01:30:58,199 --> 01:31:01,080 budget for this money and then your 1827 01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:03,300 office is able to 1828 01:31:03,300 --> 01:31:05,639 handle all the issues in-house and we 1829 01:31:05,639 --> 01:31:06,960 don't end up spending that money that 1830 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,179 money then we'll return to the general 1831 01:31:09,179 --> 01:31:11,880 fund is that fun okay so so therefore 1832 01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:15,420 it's if we need if they need the money 1833 01:31:15,420 --> 01:31:18,719 for outside counsel and decide that they 1834 01:31:18,719 --> 01:31:20,760 want to use the money they can but 1835 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,400 however if your offices has the capacity 1836 01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:24,960 to cover it then they won't then they 1837 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,360 won't use it so what so what I would 1838 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:30,659 suggest is that we do both we make sure 1839 01:31:30,659 --> 01:31:33,000 that we give them a fund a funding line 1840 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:34,620 and allocate funds of that because we 1841 01:31:34,620 --> 01:31:36,960 say that this is important to us we say 1842 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:38,880 that that this is this we understand the 1843 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:40,560 complexity of what they're asked to do 1844 01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,239 and all the tensions that they have to 1845 01:31:42,239 --> 01:31:45,420 balance right and if 1846 01:31:45,420 --> 01:31:48,420 they're requesting that but they are we 1847 01:31:48,420 --> 01:31:50,699 give it to them and then we give them 1848 01:31:50,699 --> 01:31:52,679 the support through Corporation Council 1849 01:31:52,679 --> 01:31:54,780 as much as we possibly can and then if 1850 01:31:54,780 --> 01:31:55,560 that 1851 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,540 meets the need then why would they need 1852 01:31:57,540 --> 01:31:58,860 to spend the money and then we would be 1853 01:31:58,860 --> 01:32:02,709 we would lose nothing for it 1854 01:32:02,719 --> 01:32:05,580 so I never got my question answered 1855 01:32:05,580 --> 01:32:09,239 about have you met regularly when the 1856 01:32:09,239 --> 01:32:11,639 cprb leadership have they requested 1857 01:32:11,639 --> 01:32:14,460 anything and has it ever been denied and 1858 01:32:14,460 --> 01:32:16,980 I've never actually seen a request for 1859 01:32:16,980 --> 01:32:20,760 this the individuals I've spoken to have 1860 01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:23,900 indicated have not indicated that they 1861 01:32:23,900 --> 01:32:26,100 they've never asked her so I'll just put 1862 01:32:26,100 --> 01:32:27,840 it that way 1863 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,780 I do meet them regularly I don't take 1864 01:32:30,780 --> 01:32:34,440 monthly meetings I I send my Office 1865 01:32:34,440 --> 01:32:36,840 Professional Standards there 1866 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,520 um if I do meet you there regularly I 1867 01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:43,500 would say it's it's twice a year and um 1868 01:32:43,500 --> 01:32:45,000 they've never brought anything to my 1869 01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,580 attention asked me for legal advice more 1870 01:32:47,580 --> 01:32:50,880 broadly concerns that's my role is to 1871 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,620 continuously ask them if they need 1872 01:32:52,620 --> 01:32:54,120 anything more from me is the process 1873 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:55,560 working for you 1874 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,300 and then I leave it at that I try to 1875 01:32:57,300 --> 01:33:04,189 stay separated 1876 01:33:04,199 --> 01:33:06,360 and again I would I would say you know 1877 01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:08,159 in in the just in the spirit of having 1878 01:33:08,159 --> 01:33:10,560 true and honest um dialogue and role 1879 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,719 clarification and I think that 1880 01:33:12,719 --> 01:33:15,960 um someone who is tasked with 1881 01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,620 um a pretty delicate uh you know job of 1882 01:33:19,620 --> 01:33:22,380 kind of oversight and inquiry 1883 01:33:22,380 --> 01:33:23,340 um 1884 01:33:23,340 --> 01:33:26,400 I didn't expect them to go to the chief 1885 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,880 to say that they are are in to fulfill 1886 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,620 that need I think that there's a certain 1887 01:33:31,620 --> 01:33:34,199 uh 1888 01:33:34,199 --> 01:33:36,360 there's some requests that are coming 1889 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,820 within their purview and I hadn't you 1890 01:33:38,820 --> 01:33:40,500 know the person that I had spoke to or 1891 01:33:40,500 --> 01:33:42,300 two people the person I spoke to you 1892 01:33:42,300 --> 01:33:44,580 know definitely um hadn't said that they 1893 01:33:44,580 --> 01:33:46,500 had made such a request for you or any 1894 01:33:46,500 --> 01:33:48,420 requests from you that hadn't hasn't 1895 01:33:48,420 --> 01:33:50,580 been fulfilled so let's go to to be on 1896 01:33:50,580 --> 01:33:53,040 the record with that thus far however I 1897 01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,800 think that we have to acknowledge 1898 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,980 that there is the position positionality 1899 01:33:58,980 --> 01:34:02,400 and this really matters so if we again 1900 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,460 if they don't if we dedicate the line 1901 01:34:05,460 --> 01:34:08,580 and they don't you use it we don't lose 1902 01:34:08,580 --> 01:34:13,330 it so why wouldn't we dedicate the one 1903 01:34:13,340 --> 01:34:15,600 the reason we're going to dedicate to 1904 01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:16,739 mine is because we're talking about 1905 01:34:16,739 --> 01:34:18,719 fifty thousand dollars which could be 1906 01:34:18,719 --> 01:34:22,380 used in other areas I'm not saying cprb 1907 01:34:22,380 --> 01:34:24,420 is not important but we have the ability 1908 01:34:24,420 --> 01:34:26,760 through the Corporation Council to 1909 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,460 address their needs as well as their 1910 01:34:29,460 --> 01:34:31,800 external needs should they need those so 1911 01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,380 we're talking about 50 Grand when we're 1912 01:34:34,380 --> 01:34:37,020 throwing around some other stuff and 1913 01:34:37,020 --> 01:34:39,480 that's why we're questioning it it's not 1914 01:34:39,480 --> 01:34:43,500 that we don't think cprb is important or 1915 01:34:43,500 --> 01:34:46,800 that they don't play a key role but when 1916 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,139 we have scarce resources which we do 1917 01:34:49,139 --> 01:34:53,340 it's important to try not to overlap in 1918 01:34:53,340 --> 01:34:56,040 our resources well and I can appreciate 1919 01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:57,900 that both that in this context is not 1920 01:34:57,900 --> 01:34:59,940 overlapping whatsoever what we're doing 1921 01:34:59,940 --> 01:35:01,800 is we're dedicating the line and we're 1922 01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:04,020 actually demonstrating the values that 1923 01:35:04,020 --> 01:35:06,540 we portray and we talk and pay lip 1924 01:35:06,540 --> 01:35:07,500 service to all the time we're 1925 01:35:07,500 --> 01:35:09,120 demonstrating that by making an 1926 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:10,920 investment but the Safeguard to your 1927 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:12,659 point so we don't 1928 01:35:12,659 --> 01:35:14,760 overlap the resources is that 1929 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:16,920 re-engaging the Corporation Council and 1930 01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,780 having them attend so if they're able to 1931 01:35:18,780 --> 01:35:21,120 meet the needs of the board then they'll 1932 01:35:21,120 --> 01:35:22,260 meet the needs of the board and the 1933 01:35:22,260 --> 01:35:24,420 board won't have to use that money but 1934 01:35:24,420 --> 01:35:25,620 for us to say that we're not going to 1935 01:35:25,620 --> 01:35:27,120 give them an option to me is very 1936 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:30,360 limiting and it's micromanaging and it's 1937 01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:31,199 not 1938 01:35:31,199 --> 01:35:34,340 being fully 1939 01:35:34,340 --> 01:35:38,900 genuine in recognizing the multiple 1940 01:35:38,900 --> 01:35:41,219 dynamics that they have to navigate to 1941 01:35:41,219 --> 01:35:42,360 do the very 1942 01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:44,460 important specific job that we ask them 1943 01:35:44,460 --> 01:35:51,189 to do 1944 01:35:51,199 --> 01:35:54,780 so Chapter 93 outlines two Financial 1945 01:35:54,780 --> 01:35:56,520 considerations that need to be made on 1946 01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:57,780 behalf of the civilian police review 1947 01:35:57,780 --> 01:35:59,880 board one is maintaining an annual 1948 01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:02,400 membership to Nicole which is a civilian 1949 01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:05,100 oversight uh entity in the United States 1950 01:36:05,100 --> 01:36:08,580 and the second is having a variation of 1951 01:36:08,580 --> 01:36:11,159 some funding to assist with uh 1952 01:36:11,159 --> 01:36:14,460 performing reviews or investigations to 1953 01:36:14,460 --> 01:36:16,280 some degree or 1954 01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,960 being a member of the review board 1955 01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,659 they're definitely uh normalcies that 1956 01:36:21,659 --> 01:36:23,159 you take on from meeting to meetings so 1957 01:36:23,159 --> 01:36:24,840 absolute yields the fact that this 1958 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:26,159 hasn't been something that has been 1959 01:36:26,159 --> 01:36:28,739 implemented routinely however if we look 1960 01:36:28,739 --> 01:36:30,480 at the simple fact of what does the city 1961 01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:33,300 code outline us to do I think it is our 1962 01:36:33,300 --> 01:36:35,219 requirement to fund them based on what 1963 01:36:35,219 --> 01:36:37,920 is outlined and I think putting forth 1964 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,440 monies for them to be able to utilize 1965 01:36:40,440 --> 01:36:43,500 legal services to be able to have access 1966 01:36:43,500 --> 01:36:47,100 to the Law Department to include the 1967 01:36:47,100 --> 01:36:48,719 routine attendance from the police 1968 01:36:48,719 --> 01:36:50,699 commissioner that is simply us hedging 1969 01:36:50,699 --> 01:36:53,340 our bets and to miss Patrick's Point 1970 01:36:53,340 --> 01:36:55,800 that is what budgeting is it is how you 1971 01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:59,639 best position an entity to succeed so I 1972 01:36:59,639 --> 01:37:01,679 look at all of those different variables 1973 01:37:01,679 --> 01:37:04,080 that essentially we're trying to 1974 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:04,679 um 1975 01:37:04,679 --> 01:37:06,120 bolstered the success of this 1976 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,659 organization or of this board so in 1977 01:37:09,659 --> 01:37:11,580 reviewing everything that's put before 1978 01:37:11,580 --> 01:37:13,560 us it is not fifty thousand dollars it's 1979 01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,560 twenty five thousand dollars 1980 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,659 but I think again words matter it's 1981 01:37:18,659 --> 01:37:20,040 twenty five thousand dollars that we're 1982 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:21,659 looking at 1983 01:37:21,659 --> 01:37:23,639 um allotting to the outside Legal 1984 01:37:23,639 --> 01:37:26,400 Services the civilian police reborn in 1985 01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,380 that sense I think looking at everything 1986 01:37:28,380 --> 01:37:31,020 that was previously discussed if we use 1987 01:37:31,020 --> 01:37:34,800 this or not having it specifically 1988 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,960 put underneath their budget line allow 1989 01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:38,400 us to do one of two things that was 1990 01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:40,440 outlined by the Deputy Commissioner it 1991 01:37:40,440 --> 01:37:42,780 will allow us to track whether it is 1992 01:37:42,780 --> 01:37:44,400 something that is actually beneficial to 1993 01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:47,100 this board or not and if it's not I'm in 1994 01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:48,540 total support of removing it all 1995 01:37:48,540 --> 01:37:49,920 together however we need to be 1996 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:51,780 consistent with our practices and remove 1997 01:37:51,780 --> 01:38:03,129 it from the city code 1998 01:38:03,139 --> 01:38:05,580 consideration that 1999 01:38:05,580 --> 01:38:08,580 he's now full fully sad 2000 01:38:08,580 --> 01:38:10,199 so how are we going to take away the 2001 01:38:10,199 --> 01:38:12,780 resource from this golden office to help 2002 01:38:12,780 --> 01:38:15,960 others so I'm just going out and 2003 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:19,020 go ahead please thank you I'm obviously 2004 01:38:19,020 --> 01:38:20,300 you know 2005 01:38:20,300 --> 01:38:23,639 I've been looking at Chapter 93 and I've 2006 01:38:23,639 --> 01:38:25,679 been preparing you know this PowerPoint 2007 01:38:25,679 --> 01:38:27,900 a bit so I want to be and I agree with 2008 01:38:27,900 --> 01:38:29,580 Mr Williams that you know the language 2009 01:38:29,580 --> 01:38:31,920 of the code matters considerably when 2010 01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,080 looking at all this this language in the 2011 01:38:34,080 --> 01:38:37,139 code related to the cprb hiring an 2012 01:38:37,139 --> 01:38:39,480 independent investigator to assist them 2013 01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:43,620 in reviewing things and also you know 2014 01:38:43,620 --> 01:38:46,760 I think having a dedicated staff person 2015 01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:50,209 in the past 2016 01:38:50,219 --> 01:38:52,940 the only place I think 2017 01:38:52,940 --> 01:38:56,880 Council was under the law departments 2018 01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:58,320 in the blood Department's budget line 2019 01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:02,820 and there's language in the law that 2020 01:39:02,820 --> 01:39:06,300 says that the Corporation Council hires 2021 01:39:06,300 --> 01:39:08,040 outside Council for the city when 2022 01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:11,159 necessary so I know you know who's been 2023 01:39:11,159 --> 01:39:13,980 an indication about you know the cprb 2024 01:39:13,980 --> 01:39:17,280 itself pertaining outside Council 2025 01:39:17,280 --> 01:39:19,920 um you know obviously I wouldn't make 2026 01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:21,420 that referral 2027 01:39:21,420 --> 01:39:23,040 um if necessary because I said I have 2028 01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:24,239 that in my budget line and that's 2029 01:39:24,239 --> 01:39:26,760 something I would obviously do 2030 01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:28,440 um like I would do with any other 2031 01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:31,020 department we've done that um at times 2032 01:39:31,020 --> 01:39:33,360 if necessary we can't handle something 2033 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,360 in-house we've had no problem referring 2034 01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,420 it to outside Council we do that with a 2035

and 2041 01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:54,300 we're not stressed so thin sometimes but 2042 01:39:54,300 --> 01:39:55,800 obviously you know 2043 01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:57,960 cprb is important when any commission is 2044 01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:00,060 important to bza like all of our you 2045 01:40:00,060 --> 01:40:03,020 know all of those you know commissions 2046 01:40:03,020 --> 01:40:05,639 and

01:40:11,699 um obviously this is coming to my 2050 01:40:11,699 --> 01:40:13,320 attention now because again I hadn't 2051 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:16,739 heard anything from anyone you know the 2052 01:40:16,739 --> 01:40:18,179 chairperson since Rivera I have not 2053 01:40:18,179 --> 01:40:19,560 heard from her about this I haven't 2054 01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:23,159 heard from the officers who stopped the 2055 01:40:23,159 --> 01:40:25,560 meeting there was legal questions that 2056 01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,420 were coming up obviously I would be 2057 01:40:27,420 --> 01:40:29,520 there for is this a Corporation Council 2058 01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,340 Chris Lonnie would be there 2059 01:40:31,340 --> 01:40:34,139 that doesn't fall in deaf ears you know 2060 01:40:34,139 --> 01:40:36,239 we want to be responsive to the needs of 2061 01:40:36,239 --> 01:40:39,080 those boards and those committees and 2062 01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,880 still we do that 2063 01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:42,540 um 2064 01:40:42,540 --> 01:40:45,360 yeah so in the you know I'm not going to 2065 01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,040 tell obviously with the council what to 2066 01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:50,639 do or not do that's not my position 2067 01:40:50,639 --> 01:40:52,920 um you know if the situation arises 2068 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,900 though where you know they have a legal 2069 01:40:54,900 --> 01:40:58,080 question the cprb we're going to try to 2070 01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,320 do it in-house obviously and if we can't 2071 01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:02,940 do it in-house then we're going to make 2072 01:41:02,940 --> 01:41:05,820 the referral to an outside you know Law 2073 01:41:05,820 --> 01:41:08,580 Firm to handle it so it wouldn't be the 2074 01:41:08,580 --> 01:41:11,639 cprb you know obtaining Council it would 2075 01:41:11,639 --> 01:41:13,800 be me a painting Council on behalf of 2076 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:21,970 really the cprb 2077 01:41:21,980 --> 01:41:24,480 McCarthy did mention that we should 2078 01:41:24,480 --> 01:41:26,280 encourage the police uh review board to 2079 01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:27,540 reach out to a public safety 2080 01:41:27,540 --> 01:41:29,639 commissioner and to hear these concerns 2081 01:41:29,639 --> 01:41:32,159 so I will encourage everyone including 2082 01:41:32,159 --> 01:41:34,619 myself to reach out to the police report 2083 01:41:34,619 --> 01:41:36,540 to reach out to the public safety 2084 01:41:36,540 --> 01:41:39,179 commissioner and to help Channel this uh 2085 01:41:39,179 --> 01:41:41,699 concerns and to the law department and 2086 01:41:41,699 --> 01:41:44,699 see what help can be provided to this 2087 01:41:44,699 --> 01:41:47,100 board and this board need help 2088 01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:49,020 right I don't want to go back in time 2089 01:41:49,020 --> 01:41:50,580 when I was there but yeah they need help 2090 01:41:50,580 --> 01:41:52,500 they need to function properly and I 2091 01:41:52,500 --> 01:41:55,139 think we need to assist them right again 2092 01:41:55,139 --> 01:41:57,060 I think Rockford's 2093 01:41:57,060 --> 01:42:00,300 you know nothing that I really 2094 01:42:00,300 --> 01:42:02,159 disagree with I don't I don't think that 2095 01:42:02,159 --> 01:42:04,800 we're not aligned on well at least and 2096 01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:06,840 what we're saying as far as valuing what 2097 01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:08,639 they do and understanding the importance 2098 01:42:08,639 --> 01:42:12,360 of the of the of them resisting and then 2099 01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:14,420 I 2100 01:42:14,420 --> 01:42:17,280 saying that he has money in his budget 2101 01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:19,020 line in order to do that if that's 2102 01:42:19,020 --> 01:42:21,239 something that they need so my question 2103 01:42:21,239 --> 01:42:24,060 then becomes or then we're not really 2104 01:42:24,060 --> 01:42:25,739 necessarily just talking about money 2105 01:42:25,739 --> 01:42:28,260 we're talking about power we're talking 2106 01:42:28,260 --> 01:42:30,480 about their ability to access the 2107 01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:32,880 resources that they need to do to do 2108 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:35,699 what they need to do and if all things 2109 01:42:35,699 --> 01:42:38,400 you know organic we're saying that we 2110 01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:40,139 understand the complexity of what 2111 01:42:40,139 --> 01:42:41,400 they're doing if they're reaching out to 2112 01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:43,739 council members saying hey this would be 2113 01:42:43,739 --> 01:42:45,119 something that would be beneficial for 2114 01:42:45,119 --> 01:42:46,860 us as a board then I think that we 2115 01:42:46,860 --> 01:42:49,080 should support them by doing that 2116 01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,480 um and then I think the the safety net 2117 01:42:51,480 --> 01:42:52,980 there 2118 01:42:52,980 --> 01:42:55,320 um to access those funds or to use of 2119 01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:56,880 those funds is Corporation counselors 2120 01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:59,100 needing us to recommit to engaging this 2121 01:42:59,100 --> 01:43:01,320 them as a board and if that happens 2122 01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:06,060 in a in a satisfactory way for them then 2123 01:43:06,060 --> 01:43:08,420 it's a new point so let's let's let's 2124 01:43:08,420 --> 01:43:10,500 allocate the money to them let's 2125 01:43:10,500 --> 01:43:13,139 demonstrate let's actually do what we 2126 01:43:13,139 --> 01:43:15,960 say be who we say we are resource it not 2127 01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:19,560 just live service and then hopefully uh 2128 01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:21,300 they'll be able all their needs will be 2129 01:43:21,300 --> 01:43:23,400 met by Corporation Council and the 2130 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:24,780 safety percent if that's the case then 2131 01:43:24,780 --> 01:43:26,280 we're in a great place and if it's not 2132 01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:27,719 then they have 2133 01:43:27,719 --> 01:43:29,940 um another uh resource available for 2134 01:43:29,940 --> 01:43:31,619 them to do their report book 2135 01:43:31,619 --> 01:43:33,719 I just want to remind everyone that when 2136 01:43:33,719 --> 01:43:35,520 we had talked about this before we had 2137 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,380 talked about to the point of increasing 2138 01:43:37,380 --> 01:43:39,480 the fees for service in the law 2139 01:43:39,480 --> 01:43:41,219 department so it's not like we didn't 2140 01:43:41,219 --> 01:43:42,719 talk about making sure the money in the 2141 01:43:42,719 --> 01:43:45,659 budget but however it was uh it was I'm 2142 01:43:45,659 --> 01:43:47,540 going to say by the finance department 2143 01:43:47,540 --> 01:43:50,699 saying that it's easier to track if it 2144 01:43:50,699 --> 01:43:52,500 was separate so let's keep in mind that 2145 01:43:52,500 --> 01:43:54,300 we had talked 2146 01:43:54,300 --> 01:43:56,960 yes not you but 2147 01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,580 that that the Deputy Commissioner said 2148 01:43:59,580 --> 01:44:00,719 it would be easier to track over 2149 01:44:00,719 --> 01:44:03,179 separate so we talked about adding money 2150 01:44:03,179 --> 01:44:05,280 to the Law Department fees for services 2151 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,040 for out fees outside Council we talked 2152 01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:09,360 about that so it's not like we didn't 2153 01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:10,980 talk about putting it in there it just 2154 01:44:10,980 --> 01:44:13,560 became a matter of where we put it 2155 01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:15,600 I I think we didn't come to a decision 2156 01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:17,400 on it though I know that we talked about 2157 01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,139 that but I was looking forward to this 2158 01:44:19,139 --> 01:44:21,060 meeting this evening 2159 01:44:21,060 --> 01:44:23,219 um to really Hammer up these decisions 2160 01:44:23,219 --> 01:44:25,920 and see what kinds of compromises and 2161 01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:27,840 you know I think we were waiting no we 2162 01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,360 did we did we did came from 2163 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,360 um 25 2164 01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:36,659 000 each and it goes to the city council 2165 01:44:36,659 --> 01:44:37,619 25 2166 01:44:37,619 --> 01:44:41,340 000 on the 10 10 440 on the city council 2167 01:44:41,340 --> 01:44:44,520 on 10 attempt 440 on the police review 2168 01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:46,320 board no I know that that is my note 2169 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,139 that what we end up discussion and 2170 01:44:49,139 --> 01:44:51,300 that's what we were to ask the finance 2171 01:44:51,300 --> 01:44:53,699 department no I know that we put that 2172 01:44:53,699 --> 01:44:56,400 down it was 25 and 25. I definitely know 2173 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:58,619 we did that I guess I thought that we 2174 01:44:58,619 --> 01:45:01,139 were then tonight going because we we 2175 01:45:01,139 --> 01:45:03,659 went down the whole list whether it was 2176 01:45:03,659 --> 01:45:06,300 um the addition of a staff in city clerk 2177 01:45:06,300 --> 01:45:08,880 or the creation of a new department for 2178 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:10,860 affirmative action 2179 01:45:10,860 --> 01:45:13,199 um some of these things I think that we 2180 01:45:13,199 --> 01:45:16,020 did go down that whole list with the 2181 01:45:16,020 --> 01:45:18,900 idea that tonight we were going to be 2182 01:45:18,900 --> 01:45:20,760 you know kind of discussing those things 2183 01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:23,400 and deciding whether we in other words 2184 01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,440 we did definitely fill in those lines 2185 01:45:25,440 --> 01:45:28,800 and I guess I have to say if again I'll 2186 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:30,360 put out there that if we were going to 2187 01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:32,580 compromise I absolutely don't think we 2188 01:45:32,580 --> 01:45:33,840 need the extra I mean I don't know 2189 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:35,880 nobody else is dropping in here but that 2190 01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:37,860 we don't need the money for the city 2191 01:45:37,860 --> 01:45:44,229 council park right yeah this is

pathway forward so it 2195 01:45:53,699 --> 01:45:56,820 was 82 then this Ferrari suggests why 2196 01:45:56,820 --> 01:46:00,840 now 50 25 25 we all seems to 2197 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:08,830

you know has made 2241 01:48:07,679 --> 01:48:08,880 decisions that the mayor doesn't 2242 01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,100 necessarily agree with that's just part 2243 01:48:11,100 --> 01:48:14,040 of you know the process you know not 2244 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:16,980 always going to be you know not always 2245 01:48:16,980 --> 01:48:19,560 going to be just you know a pushover or 2246 01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,480 rollover in terms of my legal opinion 2247 01:48:21,480 --> 01:48:23,040 because I have to look at the law the 2248 01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:24,780 way it's written right at the end of the 2249 01:48:24,780 --> 01:48:27,540 day my job's back to city 2250 01:48:27,540 --> 01:48:32,930 um you know from liability so 2251 01:48:32,940 --> 01:48:35,699 you know I don't know what question 2252 01:48:35,699 --> 01:48:38,880 there is exactly about you know 2253 01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,040 you putting it you know the city council 2254 01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:44,040 agreeing to put 25 000 in the line 2255 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:45,540 um obviously as I said if there's a 2256 01:48:45,540 --> 01:48:46,619 conflict 2257 01:48:46,619 --> 01:48:51,300 um you know inherent or perceived 2258 01:48:51,300 --> 01:48:53,880 um then I would refer to that 2259 01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:57,119 hasn't happened and nobody has as far as 2260 01:48:57,119 --> 01:49:00,179 I know at least you know anything to me 2261 01:49:00,179 --> 01:49:03,719 directly to me indicating a conflict in 2262 01:49:03,719 --> 01:49:05,400 my ability to act 2263 01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:11,870 um you know objectively I think 2264 01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:14,830 foreign 2265 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:18,060 just to the other point I mean even if I 2266 01:49:18,060 --> 01:49:20,100 look at what's on this piece of paper 2267 01:49:20,100 --> 01:49:22,560 that we've been given tonight 2268 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:25,920 um under line 16 2100 when we met the 2269 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:30,470 other night we did not discuss 2270 01:49:30,480 --> 01:49:33,480 um it looks like it looks like on this 2271 01:49:33,480 --> 01:49:35,639 sheet it says increase this position by 2272 01:49:35,639 --> 01:49:38,520 5642. 2273 01:49:38,520 --> 01:49:40,980 but then I think on the sheet we came 2274 01:49:40,980 --> 01:49:43,139 we're given tonight it looks like we did 2275 01:49:43,139 --> 01:49:44,219 not 2276 01:49:44,219 --> 01:49:47,760 um increase the position by 5 642 we're 2277 01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,639 deep yes I'm sorry are you talking about 2278 01:49:50,639 --> 01:49:54,000 the principal billing audit and AP clerk 2279 01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:55,860 okay you moved on to something well no 2280 01:49:55,860 --> 01:49:57,179 I'm just saying just in terms of 2281 01:49:57,179 --> 01:49:59,280 comparison in terms of my understanding 2282 01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,080 from the other night was just that we 2283 01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:02,219 were going to make some decisions 2284 01:50:02,219 --> 01:50:05,580 tonight and so I think that I think I 2285 01:50:05,580 --> 01:50:07,380 mean baby I'm reading it wrong but I 2286 01:50:07,380 --> 01:50:11,100 think that's is not what we talk is not 2287 01:50:11,100 --> 01:50:14,580 what we wrote yeah the other day the 2288 01:50:14,580 --> 01:50:16,860 other night they were the increase was 2289 01:50:16,860 --> 01:50:19,020 like 11 something 11 000 something and 2290 01:50:19,020 --> 01:50:21,119 so in our discussion it was to reduce 2291 01:50:21,119 --> 01:50:24,119 that 11 000 by 5 000 that's what you're 2292 01:50:24,119 --> 01:50:26,159 seeing here yeah so the increase was not 2293 01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:27,600 eleven thousand but five thousand that's 2294 01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:29,100 what that's what the decrease is now the 2295 01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:30,900 decrease of the original salary but a 2296 01:50:30,900 --> 01:50:33,360 decrease of the post increase 2297 01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:37,980 but the so the mayor requested 77 771 2298 01:50:37,980 --> 01:50:42,179 right which is an increase salary 72 2299 01:50:42,179 --> 01:50:44,460 000 129. so that is an increase of five 2300 01:50:44,460 --> 01:50:46,199 thousand six hundred 2301 01:50:46,199 --> 01:50:56,090 budget 2302 01:50:56,100 --> 01:50:59,709 of course 2303 01:50:59,719 --> 01:51:02,100 the point being we

02:00:30,540 --> 02:00:33,599 that leaves us uh with uh about four 2420 02:00:33,599 --> 02:00:34,800 million left 2421 02:00:34,800 --> 02:00:39,480 all right for a lost revenues for 2024. 2422 02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:41,639 but going forward we're not accounting 2423 02:00:41,639 --> 02:00:44,760 for that at all right 2424 02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:46,520 so well 2425 02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:49,980 go forward and have it if you don't use 2426 02:00:49,980 --> 02:00:52,619 that account don't not if you don't if 2427 02:00:52,619 --> 02:00:55,739 we don't uh use it all you know 2428 02:00:55,739 --> 02:00:58,920 where we can still push it forward and 2429 02:00:58,920 --> 02:01:01,080 but Mr we just mentioned nearly also on 2430 02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:03,179 this document here is 10.1 million 2431 02:01:03,179 --> 02:01:05,280 dollars that is available but if there's 2432 02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:07,619 additional losses yes if that can be 2433 02:01:07,619 --> 02:01:10,440 taken out from this 10 point almost 10.2 2434 02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,360 million dollars so that means we're not 2435 02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:15,000 going to spend anything else for 2436 02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:16,739 powerful money 2437 02:01:16,739 --> 02:01:19,800 going forward no we took out I took out 2438 02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:22,260 that money now it was always what I'm 2439 02:01:22,260 --> 02:01:24,360 saying is you're putting it aside we're 2440 02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:26,099 putting inside we're not spending the 10 2441 02:01:26,099 --> 02:01:31,390 points yes 2442 02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:36,619 the 20 23 Revenue loss or lost Revenue 2443 02:01:36,619 --> 02:01:41,350 3.4 million dollars 2444 02:01:41,360 --> 02:01:45,179 I understand that but we have 5.3 we're 2445 02:01:45,179 --> 02:01:47,159 not accounting for 2446 02:01:47,159 --> 02:01:50,040 because we didn't fill the positions and 2447 02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:52,679 we keep talking about 63 unfilled 2448 02:01:52,679 --> 02:01:56,639 positions which is 5.3 million going 2449 02:01:56,639 --> 02:01:59,820 forward not just today 2450 02:01:59,820 --> 02:02:03,239 one two three years out 2451 02:02:03,239 --> 02:02:06,480 we don't have an account for that money 2452 02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:08,880 this is priority can you address that I 2453 02:02:08,880 --> 02:02:12,060 understand what you're saying and uh 2454 02:02:12,060 --> 02:02:13,800 that's one of the reasons why we should 2455 02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:24,970 not uh decrease taxes 2456 02:02:24,980 --> 02:02:29,340 of cost risings this is not the type of 2457 02:02:29,340 --> 02:02:36,790 thought I wasn't 2458 02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,540 as we're going through here we're hoping 2459 02:02:39,540 --> 02:02:41,699 like you said to stabilize our revenues 2460 02:02:41,699 --> 02:02:44,280 to come through here to pay for that uh 2461 02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:46,380 I understand yeah we have those jobs 2462 02:02:46,380 --> 02:02:48,420 openings but as you as you've seen you 2463 02:02:48,420 --> 02:02:50,099 know we're not filming about those jobs 2464 02:02:50,099 --> 02:02:51,960 either I understand that but if we could 2465 02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:54,659 increase revenues by 5 million we'd 2466 02:02:54,659 --> 02:02:55,920 already done it 2467 02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:58,500 yeah okay what was referral you want to 2468 02:02:58,500 --> 02:03:02,219 address this also is uh 4.6 but yeah you 2469 02:03:02,219 --> 02:03:04,679 know in our 2022 budget we had a 2470 02:03:04,679 --> 02:03:07,739 formulated uh we had a budget of 4.6 2471 02:03:07,739 --> 02:03:10,560 we're estimating only using half that 2472 02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:13,020 so that's for the other two point I 2473 02:03:13,020 --> 02:03:16,080 understand but going forward is what I'm 2474 02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:17,699 talking we're talking strictly today 2475 02:03:17,699 --> 02:03:20,280 we're not looking forward 2476 02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:23,580 correct and that's going to impact us in 2477 02:03:23,580 --> 02:03:26,040 one two three years or more correct 2478 02:03:26,040 --> 02:03:28,260 we're looking at 2023 2479 02:03:28,260 --> 02:03:30,599 this is that we're looking at snapshot 2480 02:03:30,599 --> 02:03:33,000 in Time versus a dynamic that's why I 2481 02:03:33,000 --> 02:03:34,920 that's why you know with the various 2482 02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:36,780 budget we're looking to raise uh the 2483 02:03:36,780 --> 02:03:39,659 artist fees to keep the tax lined up 2484 02:03:39,659 --> 02:03:43,440 keep the taxes at a stable level and you 2485 02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:46,020 know raise up and you know we talk about 2486 02:03:46,020 --> 02:03:47,880 erasing other fees as we go along for 2487 02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,159 years too because as like any other 2488 02:03:50,159 --> 02:03:52,199 business you have to raise your prices 2489 02:03:52,199 --> 02:03:54,599 has a cost goes up because of the cost 2490 02:03:54,599 --> 02:03:56,639 of employment cost of insurance costs of 2491 02:03:56,639 --> 02:04:14,180 all those benefits 2492 02:04:14,190 --> 02:04:27,790 [Music] 2493 02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:30,420 you're cutting uh taxes you're cutting 2494 02:04:30,420 --> 02:04:32,940 uh uh the fees for services or you know 2495 02:04:32,940 --> 02:04:36,360 with the uh water not water source but 2496 02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:39,239 even with uh the trash and stuff like 2497 02:04:39,239 --> 02:04:41,760 that you know when you start cutting uh 2498 02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:43,320 you know it's going to come back you're 2499 02:04:43,320 --> 02:04:44,580 going to have to raise it eventually 2500 02:04:44,580 --> 02:04:46,800 you're gonna have to raise it I mean a 2501 02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:49,679 huge amount right so it just multiplied 2502 02:04:49,679 --> 02:04:52,080 so it actually goes on yeah so I think 2503 02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:54,719 23 24 you're gonna be okay 20 25 you 2504 02:04:54,719 --> 02:04:56,639 might be doing a six percent tax 2505 02:04:56,639 --> 02:04:58,679 increase you know that's what I was 2506 02:04:58,679 --> 02:05:09,530 trying to get at earlier 2507 02:05:09,540 --> 02:05:11,520 I mean the minimum that's what I asked 2508 02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:13,860 for you know I know uh uh you're you're 2509 02:05:13,860 --> 02:05:15,840 taking a 1.1 million already for the 2510 02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:17,760 trash I know that's something you're 2511 02:05:17,760 --> 02:05:20,219 gonna have to address into your comments 2512 02:05:20,219 --> 02:05:22,860 into the year 2023 but at least the Hope 2513 02:05:22,860 --> 02:05:26,219 line on on the uh the tax uh tax 2514 02:05:26,219 --> 02:05:29,520 payments you can hold the line at 316 2515 02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:31,199 pounds I mean it doesn't sound like a 2516 02:05:31,199 --> 02:05:34,199 lot but it really that's a beginning 2517 02:05:34,199 --> 02:05:37,139 it's a beginning because I'm telling you don't want to two years from now 2518 02:05:37,139 --> 02:05:39,420 when you guys are trying to be real life 2519 02:05:39,420 --> 02:05:40,800 and you have to raise taxes for four

02:05:45,900 --> 02:05:48,179 want to do it things have a small level 2524 02:05:48,179 --> 02:05:50,040 small bits are going all the way up yeah 2525 02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:52,080 that's why we

what Mr 2549 02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:17,219 Ferrari's saying and you know and and I 2550 02:07:17,219 --> 02:07:18,360 keep hearing it over and over again 2551 02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:20,820 because let me just be 100 transparent I 2552 02:07:20,820 --> 02:07:22,380 was in favor of 2553 02:07:22,380 --> 02:07:23,040 um 2554 02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:26,159 reducing the tax burden on our 2555 02:07:26,159 --> 02:07:29,760 um our residents but I don't I want us 2556 02:07:29,760 --> 02:07:32,040 to be caught in the quandary that we 2557 02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:33,420 spent money in a way that was 2558 02:07:33,420 --> 02:07:35,760 inappropriate and they come back and say 2559 02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:37,560 Hey you shouldn't have done that and 2560 02:07:37,560 --> 02:07:39,179 here are the reasons why 2561 02:07:39,179 --> 02:07:43,980 so two Mr Ferrari's point you know I 2562 02:07:43,980 --> 02:07:46,080 know you might have said that half a 2563 02:07:46,080 --> 02:07:47,400 joke but I also believe that a lot of 2564 02:07:47,400 --> 02:07:49,679 Truth is said in jokes and um I think 2565 02:07:49,679 --> 02:07:52,679 that you know we have to 2566 02:07:52,679 --> 02:07:54,360 talk to the people that live in the 2567 02:07:54,360 --> 02:07:56,940 cities connected to like adults and and 2568 02:07:56,940 --> 02:08:00,000 let them understand that you know as 2569 02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:03,860 much as we beloved uh you know 2570 02:08:03,860 --> 02:08:06,960 if we're not in a fiscal position to do 2571 02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:09,119 that then we can't do that until you're 2572 02:08:09,119 --> 02:08:11,580 pointing around you know when you when 2573 02:08:11,580 --> 02:08:13,500 you're running again to uh you're not 2574 02:08:13,500 --> 02:08:14,880 going to get reelected if you have to 2575 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:17,280 raise taxes so many points I mean that's 2576 02:08:17,280 --> 02:08:19,920 a calculation that really shouldn't be a 2577 02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:21,480 part of how we make our decisions here 2578 02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:23,820 so right I mean and I know that 2579 02:08:23,820 --> 02:08:26,699 you know everyone might not share that 2580 02:08:26,699 --> 02:08:28,679 at least in action more so in ideology 2581 02:08:28,679 --> 02:08:30,840 but yeah if we're not in a fiscal 2582 02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:34,199 position to cut taxes then we 2583 02:08:34,199 --> 02:08:36,060 shouldn't do that 2584 02:08:36,060 --> 02:08:37,920 right 2585 02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:44,410 I mean yeah 2586 02:08:44,420 --> 02:08:47,580 one of the one of the

03:15:09,420 dig or heal in the sand we have to 2845 03:15:09,420 --> 03:15:12,600 compromise as Patrick mention compromise 2846 03:15:12,600 --> 03:15:14,160 and move forward and was the best for 2847 03:15:14,160 --> 03:15:16,380 our city I think this is a good budget 2848 03:15:16,380 --> 03:15:19,439 and I'm happy that be part of it and to 2849 03:15:19,439 --> 03:15:21,779 vote Yes on it and we'll give it to the 2850 03:15:21,779 --> 03:15:22,859 mayor to 2851 03:15:22,859 --> 03:15:26,160 for 20 Century operating am expense 2852 03:15:26,160 --> 03:15:28,380 my vote is yes thank you this is the 2853 03:15:28,380 --> 03:15:30,600 term I'm happy with the way things 2854 03:15:30,600 --> 03:15:32,399 worked out tonight absolutely working 2855 03:15:32,399 --> 03:15:33,500 together 2856 03:15:33,500 --> 03:15:36,420 but I also feel that we need to make 2857 03:15:36,420 --> 03:15:39,300 more fiscally responsible decisions so 2858 03:15:39,300 --> 03:15:44,100 we can move our city forward in the future so I vote 2859 03:15:44,100 --> 03:15:46,140 now 2860 03:15:46,140 --> 03:15:47,880 Mr palomini 2861 03:15:47,880 --> 03:15:50,939 I'd first like to thank my colleagues 2862 03:15:50,939 --> 03:15:54,540 for all their hard work good questions 2863 03:15:54,540 --> 03:15:56,540 actually very good questions 2864 03:15:56,540 --> 03:15:59,399 however I'm very concerned with the 2865 03:15:59,399 --> 03:16:01,620 sustainability of this Budget moving 2866 03:16:01,620 --> 03:16:02,939 forward 2867 03:16:02,939 --> 03:16:05,819 um unfortunately this is typically How 2868 03:16:05,819 --> 03:16:08,520 We Do budgets at least in my time being 2869 03:16:08,520 --> 03:16:12,240 on Council as a snapshot of time 2870 03:16:12,240 --> 03:16:15,000 and 2871 03:16:15,000 --> 03:16:17,520 I think we need to start really 2872 03:16:17,520 --> 03:16:21,840 considering our future projects and this 2873 03:16:21,840 --> 03:16:24,359 budget is such that I really don't feel 2874 03:16:24,359 --> 03:16:27,180 we're in a good position moving down the 2875 03:16:27,180 --> 03:16:30,920 road one or two or three years 2876 03:16:30,920 --> 03:16:33,540 especially since we're going we're in a 2877 03:16:33,540 --> 03:16:36,120 very high inflation period that 2878 03:16:36,120 --> 03:16:38,720 inflation is not going away anytime soon 2879 03:16:38,720 --> 03:16:42,859 quite frankly it might last a while 2880 03:16:42,859 --> 03:16:45,420 we have the Federal Reserves going to 2881 03:16:45,420 --> 03:16:48,779 have to increase 2882 03:16:48,779 --> 03:16:51,779 interest rates that's going to be an 2883 03:16:51,779 --> 03:16:56,720 impact on our bonding and costs there 2884 03:16:56,720 --> 03:16:59,279 and unfortunately the Federal Reserve 2885 03:16:59,279 --> 03:17:00,920 tends to 2886 03:17:00,920 --> 03:17:03,960 overshoot with interest rate increases 2887 03:17:03,960 --> 03:17:05,640 and 2888 03:17:05,640 --> 03:17:07,380 we're projected to go on a pretty 2889 03:17:07,380 --> 03:17:09,840 substantial 2890 03:17:09,840 --> 03:17:12,190 um 2891 03:17:12,200 --> 03:17:14,819 recession hopefully not a depression 2892 03:17:14,819 --> 03:17:18,779 next year and I really question our 2893 03:17:18,779 --> 03:17:22,560 ability to generate the revenues that 2894 03:17:22,560 --> 03:17:24,779 we're talking about 2895 03:17:24,779 --> 03:17:25,560 um 2896 03:17:25,560 --> 03:17:28,380 I just don't think this is a sustainable 2897 03:17:28,380 --> 03:17:31,020 budget and for that reason I'm voting 2898 03:17:31,020 --> 03:17:32,220 now 2899 03:17:32,220 --> 03:17:34,979 this Porterfield thank you so I also 2900 03:17:34,979 --> 03:17:36,720 want to thank everyone who's asked 2901 03:17:36,720 --> 03:17:37,920 questions put in some hard work 2902 03:17:37,920 --> 03:17:41,040 especially thank you to Mr Baron for um 2903 03:17:41,040 --> 03:17:43,439 leadership on this and for the mayor for 2904 03:17:43,439 --> 03:17:45,840 putting forth his budget I've heard with 2905 03:17:45,840 --> 03:17:47,160 everyone said we've talked about it you 2906 03:17:47,160 --> 03:17:48,680 know we've been meeting several times 2907 03:17:48,680 --> 03:17:51,420 and I agree that we also didn't get 2908 03:17:51,420 --> 03:17:53,060 everything that everyone wanted however 2909 03:17:53,060 --> 03:17:56,040 we did to come to a compromise I 2910 03:17:56,040 --> 03:17:58,080 understand what Mr palawini is saying 2911 03:17:58,080 --> 03:17:59,700 but it as he said it's way we we 2912 03:17:59,700 --> 03:18:01,380 generally do budget so this is not new 2913 03:18:01,380 --> 03:18:03,660 to this year in terms of how our budgets 2914 03:18:03,660 --> 03:18:06,060 are done and if going forward we need to 2915 03:18:06,060 --> 03:18:09,300 he whoever is the finance chair wants to 2916 03:18:09,300 --> 03:18:11,939 or the mayor it's really the mayor who 2917 03:18:11,939 --> 03:18:13,439 wants to project it out that's something 2918 03:18:13,439 --> 03:18:15,720 certainly a topic for discussion as it 2919 03:18:15,720 --> 03:18:18,720 is um today you know um like I said you 2920 03:18:18,720 --> 03:18:21,000 know we put forth we put some things in 2921 03:18:21,000 --> 03:18:23,279 we took some things out made concessions 2922 03:18:23,279 --> 03:18:25,680 different places so I'm comfortable with 2923 03:18:25,680 --> 03:18:29,690 this and I vote Yes on this budget 2924 03:18:29,700 --> 03:18:35,990 so the motion passes five to two 2925 03:18:36,000 --> 03:18:40,130 contain a motion to adjourn 2926 03:18:40,140 -->
