[1:02] I'd like to call the ordance make city

[1:03] council committee meeting for Wednesday

[1:06] October 18th 2023 and I'll turn up to Mr

[1:09] muton thank you I would like to

[1:12] reconvene finance

[1:15] committee and there is one item that we

[1:17] need to address a follow from last

[1:19] meeting and it has to do with the human

[1:21] resource

[1:25] department have some question from

[1:28] Mr

[1:33] [Music]

[1:57] it's on page eight

[2:06] okay

[2:07] [Music]

[2:11] L

[2:21] questions you have some questions

[2:23] regarding you want to go ahead certainly

[2:25] um so I noticed in the budget when uh

[2:28] Miss Ali was here that there's two

[2:30] office excuse me two positions that were

[2:33] removed from the budget um the positions

[2:35] weren't removed I should say that they

[2:36] weren't funded and they were

[2:39] the assistant yeah I'm just wonder about

[2:42] his office you mean the assistant yeah

[2:45] he doesn't have control over

[2:47] that so about the affirmative action um

[2:50] offices so the uh affirmative action

[2:53] office clerical Aid and program

[2:55] coordinator neither of those were funded

[2:57] this year so um just really want to know

[3:00] from you that was that was a decision

[3:02] that you wanted to make or no I I would

[3:05] ask that you Rec considerer that we've

[3:07] been working to try to get you know

[3:09] these positions funded they're very very

[3:11] desperately needed to assist the work

[3:13] that we're trying to do in this off of

[3:14] affirmative action uh we just now

[3:17] completed the U in process so we sent

[3:21] one selection up to the to the mayor's

[3:23] office today consideration so you know

[3:25] so that's up there and also uh a a

[3:30] challenging Jal situation in terms of

[3:32] affirmative action office and

[3:34] Empowerment Center the both connected to

[3:38] what we're trying to do with the 18

[3:39] office Hader funded and all that but

[3:43] since we've had such a

[3:45] um cost overrun in terms of being able

[3:48] to get the building done and get

[3:49] everything on track to make it move

[3:51] forward it's it's been almost impossible

[3:54] to say how can we you know get to you

[3:57] know position in that to run the program

[3:58] if not going run the programs out of so

[4:01] that was the one issue that was you know

[4:05] in in contention for me but we did you

[4:07] know work with and I want to come back

[4:09] to you um to discuss at at another time

[4:13] the reappropriation you know of the the

[4:16] office fund to go more toward the

[4:18] programming side and so therefore we're

[4:21] able to serve the community and do the

[4:22] things we want to do Asos being locked

[4:24] down to the to the capital

[4:26] infrastructure of the of the building I

[4:28] want to come back

[4:30] that but in terms of the two positions

[4:34] they're critical in the sense that you

[4:36] know we definitely need help in terms of

[4:38] the day-to-day operations of what we're

[4:40] doing down here what TR do to service C

[4:43] and you know get the word out and

[4:45] service and and hold true to the mission

[4:47] so um there it's been a process to to do

[4:51] that you a lot of people and you know

[4:54] it's just been hard so we got to we got

[4:57] the first part of it the um you know

[4:59] think very close to being ready with the

[5:01] 7s you know move that forward for

[5:03] consideration but in terms of program

[5:05] we've been doing you know a lot of

[5:07] things that um require the help you know

[5:10] you talk about creating U access to

[5:13] Opportunities U you know word available

[5:17] in terms of you know what we have to

[5:18] offer and what we're trying to do

[5:20] specifically to Workforce Development

[5:22] and training working with our partners

[5:24] and you know just trying to develop the

[5:26] whole program in a quality fashion so

[5:28] that it's sustainable

[5:30] and deliver the results they were trying

[5:31] to do so I think we'll be able to move

[5:33] forward with the quality sustainable

[5:36] program and a product that's going to

[5:37] make the city proud and we'll be able to

[5:40] deliver what the uh what the community

[5:42] is asking for so follow question you

[5:45] said that you submitted something to the

[5:47] um mayor's office which one of these

[5:49] positions was it for for a clerical a

[5:51] clerical a um and it's my understanding

[5:53] that someone was hired at one point but

[5:56] it didn't work could you could you speak

[5:58] to that a little bit yeah that that

[5:59] didn't work I went to the state so oh

[6:02] simply didn't work out here right so it

[6:05] wasn't for lack of trying you did have

[6:06] someone employed but they decided didn't

[6:09] have start they didn't start they just

[6:10] accepted the job but didn't start right

[6:12] right

[6:13] okay all right so but you you have

[6:15] reached out because I just you know

[6:17] wanted to ask those questions um because

[6:19] I just want to be frank that um we were

[6:21] told that that there had been you had

[6:23] been submitted several applications but

[6:25] not had not considered any of the people

[6:27] well we' considered a lot I mean we've

[6:29] and you know it's a process you know um

[6:32] you get you know 10 20 applications you

[6:34] call them all you know you know the B

[6:37] don't answer don't show up or whatever

[6:39] you know so that process and some don't

[6:40] work out but you know we've been going

[6:42] through that process and um you know I'm

[6:45] very comfortable with what you know

[6:47] we've come out with to you to get this

[6:49] started um so my last question if if

[6:53] between these two positions because

[6:55] neither one of them have been funded at

[6:57] this point if you said if we said like

[6:58] we can only fund one one or the other um

[7:01] from your perspective as the person who

[7:02] runs the office which would you have

[7:05] chosen well well I I have to go with the

[7:08] data uh you know the data entry person

[7:10] because that's you know where we're

[7:12] getting B down the most you know so much

[7:15] is coming in and just keeping up with

[7:16] things so that's you know that's one

[7:18] thing the the other position is is

[7:21] important too because um there's a lot

[7:24] of support that we get from within the

[7:27] current administration of the city that

[7:29] that ABS a lot of those things that

[7:31] typically would not be done you

[7:33] specifically Civ Heth Ministry in terms

[7:36] of gr writing identifying gr

[7:39] opportuni um connections and

[7:41] relationships with Department that we're

[7:42] trying to work with when it come to the

[7:43] Community College the school district U

[7:47] you know all these things uh it takes

[7:49] time you know a year ago we started

[7:52] working

[7:52] on with the school district to talk

[7:55] about a Workforce initiative so that's

[7:56] been last September here we are this

[8:00] year we just not getting to the point

[8:01] where they're coming back with their

[8:03] draft or they want to move forward so

[8:05] everything just takes a very long time

[8:08] and the uh and we need to be in a

[8:11] position to go after the funding we need

[8:12] to go after the gr so we can sustain the

[8:14] program once we you know get them done

[8:17] so we do talk with

[8:19] funders

[8:21] [Music]

[8:22] f talking with you know the district you

[8:25] know what resources can they bring to

[8:28] be Community College you know they work

[8:30] with us Workforce

[8:32] ini program what can they they do so you

[8:36] know many things that they can do uh you

[8:38] know retrospect is you know it may be

[8:41] like non-ash you know transaction but

[8:43] they consist with staff for example the

[8:46] col they do like all the screening and

[8:48] taking the applicants and all that but

[8:50] it's tax in on them to keep up trying to

[8:54] keep up people so you know we do what we

[8:58] can to you it happen and you know keep

[9:01] doing and then we still you know go to

[9:03] outside resources looking for funding so

[9:07] we were talk for a whole year with the

[9:09] group that want to support the you know

[9:11] the Empowerment Center you know itself

[9:14] and they will you know they would come

[9:15] you know with some you know significant

[9:17] funding but they didn't want to get

[9:18] involved with the capital P you know

[9:20] nothing to do with the building but

[9:21] programming P you

[9:24] know you know something that we you know

[9:27] what happen you know this conversation

[9:30] like that is why this this coordinating

[9:33] piece becomes critical because somebody

[9:36] strong enough to have those

[9:38] conversations and you know and sometime

[9:41] you know we're not as ex to the

[9:43] traditional routes you know we don't

[9:44] have those relation we have to build

[9:47] these relationships and it just simply

[9:49] takes time so we need the help of

[9:52] these it out thank you go ahead please

[9:57] so would you say that the program

[9:58] coordinator is more focused towards the

[10:01] Empowerment Center and the work that

[10:02] will be done um once that Center opens

[10:05] well no no well you know the Serv doing

[10:07] the program so I think we can do the

[10:09] programs without having a building so we

[10:11] just make the program work so for

[10:13] example we have the skills training

[10:14] program the next CT starts next week

[10:18] 23rd and then after that we have the

[10:20] business uh Workshop we doing like a

[10:23] business Workshop series and um you know

[10:27] things you know like for try something

[10:29] like each month to you know keep the

[10:31] activity going and make it happen and

[10:34] the two ironically go hand in hand in

[10:37] other words we train people so let's say

[10:39] that we run 150 people through the

[10:42] skills training program and at the end

[10:45] of the day we you know having trouble

[10:47] getting them place you know we obious

[10:48] the priorities of getting them plac

[10:50] within the city but you know we're not

[10:51] getting them here so it's it's just hard

[10:54] so we need to build the capacity of

[10:56] small businesses that have the

[10:57] opportunities to take on so we have to

[11:01] you know do them both at the same time

[11:02] so we're working to build capacity for

[11:03] our business and you know being part of

[11:07] the mission and enthusiasm that's going

[11:08] on within the city and uh and ultimately

[11:11] create the uh you know create the jobs

[11:15] and we do have a disconnect you know um

[11:17] you he today about people looking for

[11:21] for employee that said we can't find

[11:23] where are they you know and you know we

[11:25] have it here and but yet when you go two

[11:27] blocks up you

[11:29] I can't get an interview or why can't I

[11:31] get this or you know and these are the

[11:34] realities that we we deal with and we

[11:37] talk about things in a true public

[11:41] private kind of relationship you know

[11:43] you know we have to do them both with

[11:44] the same

[11:49] time Mr So currently the work are done

[11:53] by you miss

[11:57] right do backl in terms of reviewing the

[12:01] the compliance

[12:03] report we do I mean it all chall you

[12:06] know you know come tax you know because

[12:10] chase down what um you know what's

[12:12] happen with the projects and you know

[12:14] report you know get done you know so we

[12:18] get it done but we would like to be on

[12:20] the proactive side to you know deal the

[12:24] reason why you people have chall get in

[12:27] there and

[12:33] how many grants did you submit this year

[12:35] and what are what's the status of those

[12:36] grants well in the past 12 months I said

[12:39] submitted like

[12:41] three one to the state two to the

[12:44] federal we didn't we didn't

[12:47] get got closer than we did the year

[12:49] before the year before you know we

[12:52] submitted about the same and you we

[12:54] didn't get any you know we didn't get

[12:57] anywhere with it this we we got a lot

[12:59] you know a lot of feedback in ter of you

[13:02] know what part somebody you know those

[13:05] type of things

[13:06] so we did get small from National

[13:11] gr we did apply through the state

[13:13] through the you know Workforce

[13:16] initiative you know and some of those

[13:17] things are still pending but um you know

[13:21] we working we're working out with the um

[13:24] you know Workforce Development Institute

[13:25] and Department of Labor so they have

[13:29] um that's s Tas what we done with our

[13:32] Workforce program

[13:33] where the negotiation is once they

[13:36] complete out five six program that they

[13:39] will go into the next level which would

[13:41] be like a pre apprenti program so we're

[13:43] trying to you know produce that Gap so

[13:48] how many programs did you run this year

[13:50] and how many students went through it

[13:52] this is well we typically run like about

[13:55] three

[15:10] that you know so we have to VI

[15:12] but

[15:14] you

[15:16] just identify

[15:20] what put the

[15:24] resources thank

[15:36] have a

[15:57] good thank

[16:10] [Music]

[16:25] you so before you it's the it's a

[16:28] combine of all the proposed changes

[16:31] so give you a couple minutes to go

[16:33] through them and then we'll go through

[16:35] them

[16:36] individually discuss it and

[16:57] forward

[16:59] you just hiding it want me to read on

[17:00] your

[17:03] paper

[17:05] so doesn't really explain

[17:27] it

[17:57] for

[18:43] this is the most come

[18:57] year

[19:27] okay

[20:27] for

[20:28] [Music]

[20:36] [Music]

[20:56] inside holy

[21:15] days oh my God

[21:27] sorry

[21:50] okay so we'll just go through um each

[21:52] item and uh first section is revenue the

[21:57] question Mr forar is to explain the real

[21:59] property tax collection here to date on

[22:02] the first pral you have given to us and

[22:05] the one today the number remain the same

[22:07] despite the fact that collection was

[22:09] ongoing say again please real property

[22:11] tax collection you know the monthly St

[22:13] as I give you every every month if you

[22:15] read the bottom you know the way our our

[22:18] books the way the computer works is that

[22:20] we figure we achieve 100% but in

[22:22] actuality we were receiving about

[22:25] 93% increasing every year so you receive

[22:28] about 93% collection on that line

[22:33] yes the next one can you explain to us

[22:36] um the sales taxs and growth for 2024

[22:39] yeah so we increased the sales tax by a

[22:41] million dollars over High share uh as we

[22:44] see even

[22:45] though you know you know hear about the

[22:49] economy going up but the cost of

[22:50] everything is up especially gasoline

[22:52] we're getting all those sales tax

[22:54] increases so we're looking forward on

[22:56] that so you think million a million

[22:59] increase from 2023

[23:02] is is that conservative to yes yes I

[23:07] think it

[23:08] is should it go up a little bit more I I

[23:12] I would not put it up

[23:14] anymore excuse me John can you tell us

[23:16] the line number sorry sorry revenue is

[23:19] on Revenue page

[23:21] one uh a11

[23:25] a 1 0 it

[23:29] yeah

[23:34] sorry so it's conservative but recommend

[23:37] stay the million yeah million please and

[23:40] the next one can you walk us through the

[23:41] last Revenue you had given us the

[23:44] statement

[23:45] [Music]

[23:46] here for the

[23:50] benefit

[23:56] sure

[23:58] the we talking about the

[24:00] 6.6 million 6.6

[24:03] million yeah that is just to basically

[24:06] balance the books and uh that's what we

[24:08] have left over uh for our L loss Revenue

[24:12] that was a calculation of um

[24:16] 5.2% uh what we received uh from the

[24:19] aror monies um so we do that calculation

[24:23] and I believe I sent everyone that

[24:26] sheet uh that shows uh the amount uh uh

[24:30] we actually received um but 6.6 million

[24:33] is what is left over and uh that's just

[24:36] going to be filling the gap between our

[24:37] revenues and our

[24:42] expenditures any question on this so 6.6

[24:45] is what we have left in arpa and that's

[24:47] what that figure represents l so you're

[24:51] using that yes to cover our loss of

[24:53] Revenue

[24:54] correct and it could be we're not going

[24:56] to use it all like like what we used

[24:58] last year we may not use it all this

[25:09] year are you good with that you guys

[25:13] okay so we'll U move to the next item

[25:16] the next one is a1010 D100 city council

[25:21] there's a proposal for a 16% increase of

[25:24] city council

[25:25] member open for discussion

[25:31] sorry I brought this forward and so as

[25:34] you can see um I researched so the

[25:37] council hasn't received a increase in

[25:39] the stien since 2002 and um we it's

[25:43] increased our duties have increased

[25:44] overall uh including doing the budget

[25:47] which has increased over the years so uh

[25:49] at this point in time I was just putting

[25:50] forth that um to increase the stien for

[25:53] the city council members while at the

[25:55] same time um considering the uh outside

[25:58] Council which we had put in and reducing

[26:00] that since we had not used it but

[26:02] leaving um some of it in place 15,000 in

[26:05] order into just in case we needed but

[26:07] not

[26:08] um but not take but but taking some of

[26:11] it away um from the 25,000 that we had

[26:14] originally

[26:18] budgeted open questions on this go ahead

[26:22] please so I would not support as I as

[26:24] I've mentioned the increase for city

[26:26] council um um I don't think that that's

[26:28] really why we're here um doing the job

[26:32] but I also recommended that I think we

[26:34] should take out the entire 25,000 for

[26:36] the outside Council as we discussed last

[26:38] year I mean I think that um most of us

[26:42] um use our Corporation Council for any

[26:45] questions that we have U and folks in

[26:47] the Corporation Council Office uh for

[26:49] questions that we have um when they come

[26:52] up so I just as we discussed last year I

[26:55] again do not think that we need that um

[26:58] in the budget at

[27:06] all any other discussion on this item no

[27:10] I mean I understand your position so I

[27:12] mean so if it fall goes through then you

[27:14] know you could stand on principle and

[27:16] then if you you know feel like it's not

[27:18] something that you would want to take I

[27:19] understand

[27:25] that any got a question

[27:28] this we'll move to the next one 8 10

[27:32] 10440 that's kind of like linked to the

[27:34] one before mhm propos increasing outside

[27:37] legal service by

[27:44] $10,000 yeah it's it's currently 25,000

[27:47] so this has been asked to reduce it to

[27:50] to

[27:56] 15,000

[27:58] any discussion on

[28:01] this again I just don't think that we

[28:03] needed even the 15,000 but I would

[28:05] reduce it to

[28:10] zero any other comments on

[28:15] this

[28:17] sorry I would just say based on a

[28:20] preparedness standpoint I definitely

[28:21] understand that our Corporation Council

[28:23] is like willing and able to do this

[28:24] types of work but I think just because

[28:26] there's not an immed use does not deter

[28:29] you from having these types of budget

[28:31] items as a just in case resource I think

[28:33] having it for another year to see if we

[28:35] are going to potentially utilizing it

[28:36] then I think I'd be more in favor of

[28:39] assessing uh its uh long-term uh

[28:42] implications as as a line

[28:45] number any other

[28:49] discuss see n move to the next item is a

[28:54] 1210

[28:56] D100 and that that's adjusting the

[28:59] admin

[29:01] assistant to the current 2023 salary of

[29:12] 57392 open for

[29:18] discussion well you're not very

[29:21] consistent you give the

[29:25] uh Park Str

[29:28] 4% and you don't give anything

[29:45] here go ahead please I would just say

[29:48] there's just blatant differences between

[29:50] a director and administrative assistant

[29:52] no slate to either position because

[29:54] they're both vital to the C Halls

[29:56] long-term point

[29:58] we can't use reasoning for one and not

[30:00] for the

[30:03] other um like believe there was a there

[30:06] was a 4% increase in this line item from

[30:09] last year's budget to the 2023 and then

[30:12] it was vacant for a while and um this

[30:15] person came in very very recently so

[30:19] um I I mean generally a 4% increas is is

[30:24] um like over something that's that

[30:27] hasn't been has been a long time and let

[30:29] me just also say I looked back and there

[30:31] was in 2020 between 2020 and 2021 there

[30:34] was like no increase in this line

[30:35] whatsoever so This Is Not Unusual it's

[30:38] not like it's never happened before

[30:39] because when we P when the 2020 and 2021

[30:42] budget was passed it was also not an

[30:44] increase in that in that

[30:48] line any other

[30:54] discussion I'm sorry oh no not

[30:59] really some people go upstairs well I do

[31:02] want to say I think the parks director

[31:03] was hired um in February perhaps I mean

[31:07] um so I think that that person has been

[31:09] in their position for almost a year or

[31:12] you know certainly by the time the um

[31:14] but the I don't know when the

[31:16] administrative assistant was uh hired

[31:20] so it probably was very recently but I

[31:23] think maybe July maybe August I'm not

[31:25] but very recently yes

[31:31] any other

[31:33] questions we'll move to the next one a13

[31:36] p

[31:37] 100 uh question the proposal is to

[31:40] increase the deputy Finance commission

[31:42] position to

[31:46] $80,000 currently it's 78

[31:56] 78p

[32:00] I know

[32:07] him and there there's a currently 78 Bud

[32:11] for proposed budget has

[32:14] 78,000 we asked him to bring that to

[32:17] 80,000 and there's a little bit of

[32:19] reason for that um there at the

[32:22] bottom I don't want I don't not seek fin

[32:26] retirement yeah but

[32:28] um to make

[32:31] it I didn't want to say it but you know

[32:34] I was very D's customer

[32:52] there that

[32:56] ising

[32:58] she

[33:01] charges we want to make sure we have

[33:03] succession plan in this department to

[33:05] our city and M been fantastic years so

[33:10] we want to make sure the transition

[33:12] happen and the deputy is equipped to

[33:15] carry on and we need to um put that in

[33:19] place and as you see there there's a

[33:21] great job he's he listens he trained

[33:24] well and hopefully he's going to

[33:26] continue to grow even

[33:29] more any question on

[33:32] this okay the next one

[33:36] here the assess um this

[33:40] a355

[33:42] 100 assessment

[33:45] office the assess was um in front of us

[33:48] a couple of days mentioned to us that

[33:52] um

[33:55] tookess EX pass on the for try and you

[33:59] know she has a to certification and this

[34:02] was a two-part question because there's

[34:03] one here and then there's another one in

[34:04] the back so can to combine all together

[34:08] and we have the opportunity to from her

[34:11] and I think that um we should um you

[34:14] know put some consideration in place to

[34:18] compensate certification and the

[34:20] qualification that she has she did

[34:23] mention that she has the only one in the

[34:25] New York state have

[34:27] if I'm not

[34:29] mistaken something close to that

[34:33] yes go ahead please I was going to say

[34:36] professional development is something

[34:37] that is uh needed in every organization

[34:40] and I think it's our responsibility to

[34:41] make sure that we uh properly

[34:43] incentivize that that a no way shape

[34:45] form means giving people um 100% raise

[34:49] increases but I think that as they start

[34:51] to add more knowledge skills and

[34:53] abilities to their skill set uh City

[34:55] Hall is able to be more um affected in

[34:57] it businesses within that individuals

[35:02] scope we did ask for documentation I

[35:05] think attached to

[35:10] the her is 93 she requested 93

[35:15] yes3 you have this

[35:19] k64

[35:25] more

[35:27] 1,64 oh 1,64 got

[35:55] it

[36:07] So currently the proposal is um 91

[36:12] 936 and she requested

[36:25] 93,000

[36:32] any

[36:34] discuss I would support

[36:40] that okay it's not much of a difference

[36:42] from the proposed budget and what is

[36:45] being asked from the

[36:52] Department next item is a420 D100 law

[36:59] proposal is high power legal and then

[37:01] there's a narrative as why the

[37:03] suggestion is being brought

[37:16] forward go ahead please I would like to

[37:18] ask if Mr Mr col could weigh in

[37:22] a um thank

[37:24] Youk um we do that one of the parttime

[37:27] attorneys um who's been working for us

[37:29] for quite a while now um will be leaving

[37:33] um at the end of the year full

[37:35] retirement um he's already retired from

[37:38] the DA's office and um he's been doing

[37:41] phenomenal work for us in fact we

[37:44] actually had a judgment today in court

[37:46] from a trial over

[37:47] $100,000 five in asss um this case that

[37:51] he

[37:52] handled um as it's noted here we do have

[37:55] unfilled assist Corporation Council

[37:57] positions uh obviously we're trying to

[37:59] fill those positions um you I don't know

[38:04] what will happen in 2024 as appli to the

[38:07] other administrative staff um know we

[38:11] get a lot of foil requests obviously as

[38:12] you all know and technology has changed

[38:15] where we don't have body cam so there's

[38:16] more redactions to do and more video

[38:19] review and all of that and that consumes

[38:21] a great deal of time uh there'll never

[38:23] be a shortage of notice of claims that

[38:25] are filed against the city um and Code

[38:27] Enforcement cases that come up um from

[38:30] the building department for us to

[38:31] prosecute and um having obviously you

[38:35] know if we can't fill the assistant

[38:37] Corporation Council positions um there's

[38:39] always going to be a need for additional

[38:41] support staff um we have two paralal

[38:44] currently in the office who don't have

[38:46] the title paralal um they have code

[38:49] enforcement Specialists and record

[38:52] access officer um having a paralal could

[38:55] provide uh additional assistance um to

[38:58] handle closings draft documents um

[39:01] things along those lines um so that the

[39:04] attorneys that we do have can you know

[39:07] essentially do the the things that

[39:09] attorne only attorneys can do go to

[39:11] court

[39:15] um what would be an average salary

[39:18] there's no there's no salary attached to

[39:20] that recommendation so yeah it's Guided

[39:22] by I believe it may fall under
