regarding you want to go ahead certainly

29
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,720
um so I noticed in the budget when uh

30
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Miss Ali was here that there's two

31
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,400
office excuse me two positions that were

32
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,480
removed from the budget um the positions

33
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,640
weren't removed I should say that they

34
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,879
weren't funded and they were

35
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:45,239
the assistant yeah I'm just wonder about

36
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,560
his office you mean the assistant yeah

37
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:50,400
he doesn't have control over

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,239
that so about the affirmative action um

39
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,720
offices so the uh affirmative action

40
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:57,760
office clerical Aid and program

41
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,519
coordinator neither of those were funded

42
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,840
this year so um just really want to know

43
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:05,480
from you that was that was a decision

44
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,200
that you wanted to make or no I I would

45
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,440
ask that you Rec considerer that we've

46
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,159
been working to try to get you know

47
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,000
these positions funded they're very very

48
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,400
desperately needed to assist the work

49
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
that we're trying to do in this off of

50
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,040
affirmative action uh we just now

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,159
completed the U in process so we sent

52
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,640
one selection up to the to the mayor's

53
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:30,879
office today consideration so you know

54
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:32,959
so that's up there and also uh a a

55
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,599
challenging Jal situation in terms of

56
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:38,200
affirmative action office and

57
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:39,760
Empowerment Center the both connected to

58
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,159
what we're trying to do with the 18

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,560
office Hader funded and all that but

60
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:48,239
since we've had such a

61
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,959
um cost overrun in terms of being able

62
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:51,879
to get the building done and get

63
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:54,319
everything on track to make it move

64
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:57,040
forward it's it's been almost impossible

65
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,879
to say how can we you know get to you

66
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,640
know position in that to run the program

67
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,159
if not going run the programs out of so

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,840
that was the one issue that was you know

69
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:09,680
in in contention for me but we did you

70
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,200
know work with and I want to come back

71
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:16,160
to you um to discuss at at another time

72
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,160
the reappropriation you know of the the

73
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,000
office fund to go more toward the

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,560
programming side and so therefore we're

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,639
able to serve the community and do the

76
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,720
things we want to do Asos being locked

77
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:28,840
down to the to the capital

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,759
infrastructure of the of the building I

79
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:34,520
want to come back

80
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:36,479
that but in terms of the two positions

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,919
they're critical in the sense that you

82
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:40,680
know we definitely need help in terms of

83
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:43,639
the day-to-day operations of what we're

84
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,440
doing down here what TR do to service C

85
00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:47,720
and you know get the word out and

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,360
service and and hold true to the mission

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,639
so um there it's been a process to to do

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,400
that you a lot of people and you know

89
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:59,720
it's just been hard so we got to we got

90
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,440
the first part of it the um you know

91
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,680
think very close to being ready with the

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,720
7s you know move that forward for

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,880
consideration but in terms of program

94
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,800
we've been doing you know a lot of

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,800
things that um require the help you know

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,000
you talk about creating U access to

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Opportunities U you know word available

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,199
in terms of you know what we have to

99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000
offer and what we're trying to do

100
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:24,720
specifically to Workforce Development

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,479
and training working with our partners

102
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,360
and you know just trying to develop the

103
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:30,080
whole program in a quality fashion so

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,600
that it's sustainable

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,880
and deliver the results they were trying

106
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,039
to do so I think we'll be able to move

107
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,960
forward with the quality sustainable

108
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:40,240
program and a product that's going to

109
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,080
make the city proud and we'll be able to

110
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,319
deliver what the uh what the community

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,039
is asking for so follow question you

112
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:49,199
said that you submitted something to the

113
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:51,240
um mayor's office which one of these

114
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:53,560
positions was it for for a clerical a

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,080
clerical a um and it's my understanding

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,120
that someone was hired at one point but

117
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,880
it didn't work could you could you speak

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,960
to that a little bit yeah that that

119
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:05,319
didn't work I went to the state so oh

120
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,599
simply didn't work out here right so it

121
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:09,560
wasn't for lack of trying you did have

122
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:10,800
someone employed but they decided didn't

123
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,680
have start they didn't start they just

124
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,599
accepted the job but didn't start right

125
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,840
right

126
00:06:13,599 --> 00:06:17,199
okay all right so but you you have

127
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,440
reached out because I just you know

128
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,759
wanted to ask those questions um because

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,759
I just want to be frank that um we were

130
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,680
told that that there had been you had

131
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,560
been submitted several applications but

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,560
not had not considered any of the people

133
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,280
well we' considered a lot I mean we've

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,800
and you know it's a process you know um

135
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:37,440
you get you know 10 20 applications you

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,080
call them all you know you know the B

137
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,960
don't answer don't show up or whatever

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,280
you know so that process and some don't

139
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,560
work out but you know we've been going

140
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:47,160
through that process and um you know I'm

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,840
very comfortable with what you know

142
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:53,919
we've come out with to you to get this

143
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,639
started um so my last question if if

144
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:57,000
between these two positions because

145
00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:58,720
neither one of them have been funded at

146
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,240
this point if you said if we said like

147
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,720
we can only fund one one or the other um

148
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,440
from your perspective as the person who

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,000
runs the office which would you have

150
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,840
chosen well well I I have to go with the

151
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,440
data uh you know the data entry person

152
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,280
because that's you know where we're

153
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,879
getting B down the most you know so much

154
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,840
is coming in and just keeping up with

155
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:21,240
things so that's you know that's one

156
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,599
thing the the other position is is

157
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,000
important too because um there's a lot

158
00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:29,520
of support that we get from within the

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,199
current administration of the city that

160
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,960
that ABS a lot of those things that

161
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,240
typically would not be done you

162
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,160
specifically Civ Heth Ministry in terms

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,319
of gr writing identifying gr

164
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,720
opportuni um connections and

165
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:43,960
relationships with Department that we're

166
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,199
trying to work with when it come to the

167
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Community College the school district U

168
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:52,120
you know all these things uh it takes

169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,919
time you know a year ago we started

170
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,159
working

171
00:07:52,919 --> 00:07:56,800
on with the school district to talk

172
00:07:55,159 --> 00:08:00,000
about a Workforce initiative so that's

173
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,599
been last September here we are this

174
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,319
year we just not getting to the point

175
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:05,280
where they're coming back with their

176
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:08,800
draft or they want to move forward so

177
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,400
everything just takes a very long time

178
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,879
and the uh and we need to be in a

179
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,800
position to go after the funding we need

180
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:17,520
to go after the gr so we can sustain the

181
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,520
program once we you know get them done

182
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,130

f talking with you know the district you

186
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,720
know what resources can they bring to

187
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,560
be Community College you know they work

188
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:36,440
with us Workforce

189
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:38,880
ini program what can they they do so you

190
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,159
know many things that they can do uh you

191
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,919
know retrospect is you know it may be

192
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:46,399
like non-ash you know transaction but

193
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,880
they consist with staff for example the

194
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,959
col they do like all the screening and

195
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,560
taking the applicants and all that but

196
00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:58,160
it's tax in on them to keep up trying to

197
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,000
keep up people so you know we do what we

198
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,959
can to you it happen and you know keep

199
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,040
doing and then we still you know go to

200
00:09:03,959 --> 00:09:09,079
outside resources looking for funding so

201
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,200
we were talk for a whole year with the

202
00:09:09,079 --> 00:09:14,000
group that want to support the you know

203
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,480
the Empowerment Center you know itself

204
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
and they will you know they would come

205
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
you know with some you know significant

206
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,200
funding but they didn't want to get

207
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,399
involved with the capital P you know

208
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,279
nothing to do with the building but

209
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,279
programming P you

210
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,399
know you know something that we you know

211
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:33,399
what happen you know this conversation

212
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:36,040
like that is why this this coordinating

213
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:38,160
piece becomes critical because somebody

214
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,120
strong enough to have those

215
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,000
conversations and you know and sometime

216
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,600
you know we're not as ex to the

217
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,240
traditional routes you know we don't

218
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,120
have those relation we have to build

219
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,320
these relationships and it just simply

220
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:57,200
takes time so we need the help of

221
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,600
these it out thank you go ahead please

222
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,200
so would you say that the program

223
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,680
coordinator is more focused towards the

224
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,399
Empowerment Center and the work that

225
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:07,839
will be done um once that Center opens

226
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:09,640
well no no well you know the Serv doing

227
00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:11,800
the program so I think we can do the

228
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,399
programs without having a building so we

229
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,959
just make the program work so for

230
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:18,399
example we have the skills training

231
00:10:14,959 --> 00:10:20,839
program the next CT starts next week

232
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:23,360
23rd and then after that we have the

233
00:10:20,839 --> 00:10:27,519
business uh Workshop we doing like a

234
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:29,399
business Workshop series and um you know

235
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:31,560
things you know like for try something

236
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:34,240
like each month to you know keep the

237
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:37,160
activity going and make it happen and

238
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,399
the two ironically go hand in hand in

239
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,519
other words we train people so let's say

240
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:45,000
that we run 150 people through the

241
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:47,040
skills training program and at the end

242
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,800
of the day we you know having trouble

243
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,040
getting them place you know we obious

244
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,519
the priorities of getting them plac

245
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,120
within the city but you know we're not

246
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:56,639
getting them here so it's it's just hard

247
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,800
so we need to build the capacity of

248
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:01,040
small businesses that have the

249
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,480
opportunities to take on so we have to

250
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,959
you know do them both at the same time

251
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,000
so we're working to build capacity for

252
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:08,800
our business and you know being part of

253
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,839
the mission and enthusiasm that's going

254
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:15,160
on within the city and uh and ultimately

255
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:17,760
create the uh you know create the jobs

256
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,639
and we do have a disconnect you know um

257
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,279
you he today about people looking for

258
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:25,120
for employee that said we can't find

259
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,399
where are they you know and you know we

260
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,480
have it here and but yet when you go two

261
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:31,720
blocks up you

262
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,120
I can't get an interview or why can't I

263
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,200
get this or you know and these are the

264
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:41,240
realities that we we deal with and we

265
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,680
talk about things in a true public

266
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,880
private kind of relationship you know

267
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,440
you know we have to do them both with

268
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,440
the same

269
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:57,680
time Mr So currently the work are done

270
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:01,560
by you miss

271
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:03,279

272
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:06,480

00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:30,039
sorry

374
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:57,080
okay so we'll just go through um each

375
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,320
item and uh first section is revenue the

376
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:02,320
question Mr forar is to explain the real

377
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:05,440
property tax collection here to date on

378
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,640
the first pral you have given to us and

379
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,400
the one today the number remain the same

380
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,760
despite the fact that collection was

381
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,600
ongoing say again please real property

382
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,799
tax collection you know the monthly St

383
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,200
as I give you every every month if you

384
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:20,039
read the bottom you know the way our our

385
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,799
books the way the computer works is that

386
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:25,480
we figure we achieve 100% but in

387
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:28,840
actuality we were receiving about

388
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:33,200
93% increasing every year so you receive

389
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,200
about 93% collection on that line

390
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,640
yes the next one can you explain to us

391
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,760
um the sales taxs and growth for 2024

392
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,520
yeah so we increased the sales tax by a

393
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,760
million dollars over High share uh as we

394
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,039
see even

395
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,400
though you know you know hear about the

396
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:52,679
economy going up but the cost of

397
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,360
everything is up especially gasoline

398
00:22:52,679 --> 00:22:56,960
we're getting all those sales tax

399
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:59,279
increases so we're looking forward on

400
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,840
that so you think million a million

401
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:07,840
increase from 2023

402
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:08,640
is is that conservative to yes yes I

403
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,120
think it

404
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:14,360
is should it go up a little bit more I I

405
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:16,679
I would not put it up

406
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:19,559
anymore excuse me John can you tell us

407
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:21,840

stay the million yeah million please and

414
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:44,440
the next one can you walk us through the

415
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,430
last Revenue you had given us the

416
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,760
statement

417
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:50,080
[Music]

418
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,080
here for the

419
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,480
benefit

420
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,400
sure

421
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,000
the we talking about the

422
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,279
6.6 million 6.6

423
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,559
million yeah that is just to basically

424
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:12,520
balance the books and uh that's what we

425
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:16,840
have left over uh for our L loss Revenue

426
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:19,799
that was a calculation of um

427
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:23,480
5.2% uh what we received uh from the

428
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:26,000
aror monies um so we do that calculation

429
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:30,120
and I believe I sent everyone that

430
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:33,760
sheet uh that shows uh the amount uh uh

431
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:36,120
we actually received um but 6.6 million

432
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,559
is what is left over and uh that's just

433
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:40,520
going to be filling the gap between our

434
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,520
revenues and our

435
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:47,840
expenditures any question on this so 6.6

436
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:51,159
is what we have left in arpa and that's

437
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:53,279
what that figure represents l so you're

438
00:24:51,159 --> 00:24:54,520
using that yes to cover our loss of

439
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,399
Revenue

440
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,559
correct and it could be we're not going

441
00:24:56,399 --> 00:25:02,320
to use it all like like what we used

442
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:02,320
last year we may not use it all this

443
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:16,440
year are you good with that you guys

444
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:21,360
okay so we'll U move to the next item

445
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:24,120
the next one is a1010 D100 city council

446
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:25,720
there's a proposal for a 16% increase of

447
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:29,679
city council

448
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,679
member open for discussion

449
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:37,159
sorry I brought this forward and so as

450
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:39,480
you can see um I researched so the

451
00:25:37,159 --> 00:25:43,320
council hasn't received a increase in

452
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,880
the stien since 2002 and um we it's

453
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,200
increased our duties have increased

454
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,080
overall uh including doing the budget

455
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,480
which has increased over the years so uh

456
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,360
at this point in time I was just putting

457
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,320
forth that um to increase the stien for

458
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:58,480
the city council members while at the

459
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,600
same time um considering the uh outside

460
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,200
Council which we had put in and reducing

461
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,480
that since we had not used it but

462
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,840
leaving um some of it in place 15,000 in

463
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,840
order into just in case we needed but

464
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,919
not

465
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,200
um but not take but but taking some of

466
00:26:11,919 --> 00:26:16,640
it away um from the 25,000 that we had

467
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,640
originally

468
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:24,960
budgeted open questions on this go ahead

469
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,480
please so I would not support as I as

470
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,960
I've mentioned the increase for city

471
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,000
council um um I don't think that that's

472
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,200
really why we're here um doing the job

473
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,520
but I also recommended that I think we

474
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,679
should take out the entire 25,000 for

475
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:42,399
the outside Council as we discussed last

476
00:26:38,679 --> 00:26:45,320
year I mean I think that um most of us

477
00:26:42,399 --> 00:26:47,679
um use our Corporation Council for any

478
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,919
questions that we have U and folks in

479
00:26:47,679 --> 00:26:52,360
the Corporation Council Office uh for

480
00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:55,600
questions that we have um when they come

481
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:58,240
up so I just as we discussed last year I

482
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,000
again do not think that we need that um

483
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,000
in the budget at

484
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:12,200
all any other discussion on this item no

485
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,640
I mean I understand your position so I

486
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,360
mean so if it fall goes through then you

487
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,039
know you could stand on principle and

488
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,480
then if you you know feel like it's not

489
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:21,679
something that you would want to take I

490
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,679
understand

491
00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:32,279
that any got a question

492
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:34,520
this we'll move to the next one 8 10

493
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:37,640
10440 that's kind of like linked to the

494
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,480
one before mhm propos increasing outside

495
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,480
legal service by

496
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,279
$10,000 yeah it's it's currently 25,000

497
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:53,279
so this has been asked to reduce it to

498
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:53,279
to

499
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,919
15,000

500
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,919
any discussion on

501
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:05,799
this again I just don't think that we

502
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:08,399
needed even the 15,000 but I would

503
00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:08,399
reduce it to

504
00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:13,880
zero any other comments on

505
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,279
this

506
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:21,799
sorry I would just say based on a

507
00:28:20,279 --> 00:28:23,200
preparedness standpoint I definitely

508
00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:24,640
understand that our Corporation Council

509
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,440
is like willing and able to do this

510
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,200
types of work but I think just because

511
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,399
there's not an immed use does not deter

512
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,360
you from having these types of budget

513
00:28:31,399 --> 00:28:35,200
items as a just in case resource I think

514
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,840
having it for another year to see if we

515
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,039
are going to potentially utilizing it

516
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,679
then I think I'd be more in favor of

517
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:45,600
assessing uh its uh long-term uh

518
00:28:42,679 --> 00:28:49,000
implications as as a line

519
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,000
number any other

520
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:56,039
discuss see n move to the next item is a

521
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,600
1210

522
00:28:56,039 --> 00:29:01,640
D100 and that that's adjusting the

523
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:08,000
admin

524
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:08,000
assistant to the current 2023 salary of

525
00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:16,399
57392 open for

526
00:29:18,399 --> 00:29:25,679
discussion well you're not very

527
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:28,640
consistent you give the

528
00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:32,960
uh Park Str

529
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,960
4% and you don't give anything

530
00:29:45,399 --> 00:29:50,159
here go ahead please I would just say

531
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,440
there's just blatant differences between

532
00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:54,200
a director and administrative assistant

533
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,320
no slate to either position because

534
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,399
they're both vital to the C Halls

535
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,519
long-term point

536
00:29:58,399 --> 00:30:02,919
we can't use reasoning for one and not

537
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:02,919
for the

538
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,360
other um like believe there was a there

539
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:12,240
was a 4% increase in this line item from

540
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:15,120
last year's budget to the 2023 and then

541
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:19,600
it was vacant for a while and um this

542
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:24,200
person came in very very recently so

543
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:27,679
um I I mean generally a 4% increas is is

544
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,559
um like over something that's that

545
00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:31,559
hasn't been has been a long time and let

546
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:34,120
me just also say I looked back and there

547
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:35,880
was in 2020 between 2020 and 2021 there

548
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,480
was like no increase in this line

549
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,880
whatsoever so This Is Not Unusual it's

550
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,600
not like it's never happened before

551
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,399
because when we P when the 2020 and 2021

552
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,880
budget was passed it was also not an

553
00:30:44,399 --> 00:30:47,880
increase in that in that

554
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,200
line any other

555
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:02,200
discussion I'm sorry oh no not

556
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,600
really some people go upstairs well I do

557
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,760
want to say I think the parks director

558
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:09,639
was hired um in February perhaps I mean

559
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,200
um so I think that that person has been

560
00:31:09,639 --> 00:31:14,679
in their position for almost a year or

561
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,519
you know certainly by the time the um

562
00:31:14,679 --> 00:31:20,200
but the I don't know when the

563
00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:23,639
administrative assistant was uh hired

564
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,760
so it probably was very recently but I

565
00:31:23,639 --> 00:31:29,159
think maybe July maybe August I'm not

566
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,159
but very recently yes

567
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,200
any other

568
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,799
questions we'll move to the next one a13

569
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,559
p

570
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:42,720
100 uh question the proposal is to

571
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:45,440
increase the deputy Finance commission

572
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,440
position to

573
00:31:46,399 --> 00:31:52,679
$80,000 currently it's 78

574
00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:59,159
78p

575
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,600
I know

576
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:14,279
him and there there's a currently 78 Bud

577
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:17,159
for proposed budget has

578
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:19,000
78,000 we asked him to bring that to

579
00:32:17,159 --> 00:32:22,039
80,000 and there's a little bit of

580
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:26,279
reason for that um there at the

581
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:28,279
bottom I don't want I don't not seek fin

582
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:31,559
retirement yeah but

583
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:34,480
um to make

584
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:38,200
it I didn't want to say it but you know

585
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,200
I was very D's customer

586
00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:58,880
there that

587
00:32:56,039 --> 00:33:01,320
ising

588
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,200
she

589
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,840
charges we want to make sure we have

590
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:10,519
succession plan in this department to

591
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:12,080
our city and M been fantastic years so

592
00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:15,399
we want to make sure the transition

593
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:19,399
happen and the deputy is equipped to

594
00:33:15,399 --> 00:33:21,039
carry on and we need to um put that in

595
00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:24,159
place and as you see there there's a

596
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:26,000
great job he's he listens he trained

597
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:29,559
well and hopefully he's going to

598
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,720
continue to grow even

599
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:36,600
more any question on

600
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:40,240
this okay the next one

601
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:42,120
here the assess um this

602
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,480
a355

603
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:48,320
100 assessment

604
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:52,559
office the assess was um in front of us

605
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:55,559
a couple of days mentioned to us that

606
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:55,559
um

607
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:02,120
tookess EX pass on the for try and you

608
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,679
know she has a to certification and this

609
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,960
was a two-part question because there's

610
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:08,399
one here and then there's another one in

611
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:11,760
the back so can to combine all together

612
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:14,560
and we have the opportunity to from her

613
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:18,520
and I think that um we should um you

614
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:20,919
know put some consideration in place to

615
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,720
compensate certification and the

616
00:34:20,919 --> 00:34:25,760
qualification that she has she did

617
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:27,480
mention that she has the only one in the

618
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,960
New York state have

619
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:33,399
if I'm not

620
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:36,079
mistaken something close to that

621
00:34:33,399 --> 00:34:37,639
yes go ahead please I was going to say

622
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:40,000
professional development is something

623
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:41,720
that is uh needed in every organization

624
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,440
and I think it's our responsibility to

625
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:45,159
make sure that we uh properly

626
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:49,720
incentivize that that a no way shape

627
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:51,960
form means giving people um 100% raise

628
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:53,240
increases but I think that as they start

629
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,280
to add more knowledge skills and

630
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:57,920
abilities to their skill set uh City

631
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:02,280
Hall is able to be more um affected in

632
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,280
it businesses within that individuals

633
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:09,599
scope we did ask for documentation I

634
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,599
think attached to

635
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:19,640
the her is 93 she requested 93

636
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:22,640
yes3 you have this

637
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,640
k64

638
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:32,160
more

639
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,160
1,64 oh 1,64 got

640
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,800
it

641
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:17,599
So currently the proposal is um 91

642
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,599
936 and she requested

643
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:28,720
93,000

644
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:38,160
any

645
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,160
discuss I would support

646
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,000
that okay it's not much of a difference

647
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,319
from the proposed budget and what is

648
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,319

Department next item is a420 D100 law

650
00:36:59,599 --> 00:37:03,720
proposal is high power legal and then

651
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,920

652
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:06,920

00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,720
actually had a judgment today in court

664
00:37:46,319 --> 00:37:51,440

00:37:52,359 --> 00:37:57,480
handled um as it's noted here we do have

668
00:37:55,839 --> 00:37:59,400
unfilled assist Corporation Council

669
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:04,040

670
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:07,480
fill those positions um you I don't know

671
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:11,079
what will happen in 2024 as appli to the

672
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,960
other administrative staff um know we

673
00:38:11,079 --> 00:38:15,560
get a lot of foil requests obviously as

674
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,960
you all know and technology has changed

675
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,280
where we don't have body cam so there's

676
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,240
more redactions to do and more video

677
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,280
review and all of that and that consumes

678
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:25,200
a great deal of time uh there'll never

679
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,760
be a shortage of notice of claims that

680
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,319
are filed against the city um and Code

681
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,640
Enforcement cases that come up um from

682
00:38:30,319 --> 00:38:35,280
the building department for us to

683
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:37,280
prosecute and um having obviously you

684
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,520
know if we can't fill the assistant

685
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,040
Corporation Council positions um there's

686
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,440
always going to be a need for additional

687
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:46,720
support staff um we have two paralal

688
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:49,520
currently in the office who don't have

689
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:52,200
the title paralal um they have code

690
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,680
enforcement Specialists and record

691
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:58,280
access officer um having a paralal could

692
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:01,079
provide uh additional assistance um to

693
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:04,200
handle closings draft documents um

694
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:07,480
things along those lines um so that the

695
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,599
attorneys that we do have can you know

696
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,440
essentially do the the things that

697
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:14,440
attorne only attorneys can do go to

698
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,440
court

699
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,680
um what would be an average salary

700
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,760
there's no there's no salary attached to

701
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:27,000
that recommendation so yeah it's Guided

702
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,000
by I believe it may fall under
