[2:29] my best guest councilman he said he here's the question that was submitted
[2:36] to the electorate [Applause]
[2:41] now the simple minutes rather human provide counsel to have five members who
[2:48] are elected yeah

[2:57] the quorum that it was decided by community code that it didn't change
[3:12] [Music]
[3:24] animal operating budget organs general Fung speaking I understand we have a
[3:31] substitute pain to describe how the president's members of the council thank
[3:40] you for the opportunity there are two sub a's one is regarding the annual
[3:47] operating budget ordinance general one is essentially basically the excel file
[3:52] with many different many additional columns at it from the instead of the FY
[3:59] 18 + FY proposed 19 being the only two capcom with the various came to third
[4:05] there are no the FY 17 adopted budget actual order FY 17 ordered an actual the
[4:13] variance the FY 18 adopted budget at by 18 quarters three pending FY 19 proposed
[4:19] budget and FY 18 implementing guard had been requested by the council the other
[4:27] one is an ordinance amending the FY 19 salaries of department heads and others
[4:33] and unclassified service as a sub a there were some it's as you can see the
[4:40] portion that were incorrect at the crossed-out are added and they are the
[4:46] items that we have been discussing as a council throughout your workshops
[4:55] fabulist any of that
[5:06] [Applause] [Music]
[5:11] I'm pretty powerful one
[5:20] there's public area so we're actually at
[5:49] yeah absolutely
[5:55] yes yes so there are two sub A's that we are
[6:00] looking to introduce they are pull somebody's that we have been talking
[6:04] about throughout the workshops is the annual operating budget ordinance this
[6:10] one the budget that we had introduced has FY 18 and my 19 at the variance and
[6:16] their constant I requested more more line items or more lines is it for for
[6:24] context so we added FY 17 adopted budget FY 17 ordered an actual variance between
[6:31] the two FY 18 adopted budget FY 1843 ending at 519 proposed budget and FY 18
[6:39] percent by 19 variance so that is the changes and as you can see all those
[6:43] items are underlined because those when you since we're introducing those new
[6:48] portions they're underlined but in terms of the the body of it none of the
[6:53] numbers have unchanged the other one is fairly similar we have
[6:59] the an ordinance amending the FY 19 salaries of the pumpkin heads and others
[7:04] assuming and others and unclassified services to pay they were missing some
[7:10] people mislabeled and so those are also underlined and those will have been
[7:18] discussed during the workshop so there's nothing new that's been presented this
[7:22] is just cleaning up some of the original documents thank you

[11:15] [Music]
[11:21] there's one of this ascent may 23rd it's a tradition of the year to be it was a
[11:30] number
[11:49] well because we just approved as amended from the operating budget again it's
[11:56] only the first passage
[12:06] you
[12:11] [Applause]
[12:18] yeah
[12:23] [Music] [Applause]
[12:33] [Music] I have a question that it seems to be a
[12:41] personnel change in their psyche page change with a Redevelopment Agency
[12:47] contractor to do special projects the salary I don't know how to do the same
[12:55] she was that thank you have yes become that that is the role of Tom dela
[13:07] previously he was considered the treat of the title of Redevelopment Agency as
[13:15] a contractor now he's been switched over and really in reality what we're using
[13:20] it for a special project the Street Station the facade improvement program
[13:24] those special projects that need someone that needs someone with the experience
[13:27] that sort of projects and it's more expansive than just the Redevelopment
[13:33] Agency work that this W so the Job Description is in the packet that I sent
[13:40] you and
[13:45] the tricky listening it is strictly an agent it would show nothing to do with
[13:52] salaries it was just that his work was more expensive than and what he was
[13:57] originally titled and so so he's a salaried employee des is a non
[14:04] classified salary employee how does that work no you is currently employed with
[14:20] this the city so we changed all we really did was change his job title
[14:26] right well the contract
[14:31] I know
[14:48] [Music]
[14:52] [Applause] [Music]
[15:07] mmm
[15:13] in the
[15:18] Hey sorry to make you move again last year's budget and his position business
[15:34] so that employment definitely last year it's another if I'm not mistaken he
[15:41] was funded through the Redevelopment Agency and so since his job
[15:45] responsibilities were a little bit more expansive you know but we wanted to have
[15:50] a focus on improvement program the train station and the train station district
[15:55] we decided that this would probably give you a therapy I finally made it to the
[16:03] councilman's question but he is an at-will employee yes he has contracts
[16:07] not
[16:14] [Music] [Applause]
[16:24] yeah I'm here oh yes yes girl yes counselor Salaam yes looking for a
[16:38] motion to approve as amended the ordinance for chain of the show is a
[16:42] department head to notice any classified
[16:57] [Music] you have to eat enough this Bureau yes
[17:03] [Music]
[17:07] I'm su salon yes
[17:12] next item is an ordinance amending the wait isn't generally the first food
[17:18] [Applause]

[17:39] [Applause]
[17:48] especially hospital it upset this is quite high for this listen there's an
[17:55] issue there about ships detected by the immediate autopilot like burning the
[18:03] clothes now so I just reset all three collective bargaining
[18:17] unless some unexpected arbitration would think company grow
[18:27] [Applause]
[18:45] [Applause] the Popol Vuh in every budget ordinance
[19:12] [Music]
[19:18] just so the rest of the council knows before some of you guys got here I had a
[19:22] conversation of the chief of staff and the city solicitor regarding some
[19:27] language in the Charter about how the capital budget capital program in
[19:35] capital budget ordinance should be detailed every project is actually
[19:40] supposed to be made with the amount Josh did said the services that she was staff
[19:45] just said this that information be it you know but it should be part of the
[19:48] actual ordinance and so next week they're going to submit that
[19:52] documentation problem has an assembly to the original so we'll have more details
[19:57] about what the projects so it's not a report it's actually according to a
[20:08] charter the actual so the budget is supposed to have the projects attached
[20:14] with the estimated costs so like I mentioned she was tab sent us that email
[20:20] after the second budget workshop we're gonna rework that includes not just the
[20:27] hole
[20:30] [Music] [Applause]
[20:34] yeah
[20:45] this expenditure of course
[20:56] [Music]
[21:07] but it looks like this is some of the capital
[21:18] [Applause]
[21:21] yeah I'm sorry I'm not sure with the infinities
[21:24] I have you sent me to you Kovac right you know okay I apologize so if this is
[21:31] [Music] for this is give me just a moment I'll
[21:47] put my name on that Center how's this are you okay
[21:54] [Applause]
[22:04] this is this was a breakdown of other professional services and planning
[22:12] department [Music]
[22:22] [Music]
[22:32] so so my question is so this is separate from haploid right yes so in terms of
[22:40] like Tom Keller right yes so I'm just looking at one thing he was spending
[22:45] $3,000 independent contractor and so he was saying that in addition to
[22:50] everything that said you know Tom does not Tom was paid out of other
[22:56] professional services and that's your thing only I don't believe I don't but I
[23:08] have to I don't have those numbers and figures right here in front of me but I
[23:13] don't believe that to be the case but as with every question that the culture has
[23:20] that we want to have to take that back have an answer with to you within 24
[23:23] hours now what I also had asked before is what is what can be Dean capital
[23:30] improvement now I don't make nothing a solicitor question but I want understand
[23:35] what can be considered capital improvement project specific before when
[23:39] I asked for something to happen to imagine troll
[23:42] project so there I would like to know what specifically is is the left that's
[23:47] on the dinner soon
[23:53] I will get that definition and Nevison to the problem and even for the
[23:58] description like sometimes it's in the other professional but it's like cut off
[24:03] so if it can be like murdered tonight Marissa health number it jump like
[24:11] expand dad so we can see what the full description is so so you're asking for
[24:19] that report with the description just to include a full description
[24:41] [Music] in terms of the other the other hundred
[24:48] thousand that we have talked about for necessary Union I don't see it here in
[24:53] the rates on the capital plan for fiscal year nineteen every figure out where
[25:01] that has not finished yet although it's coming down to crunch time and it will
[25:06] have to be determined within the next [Music]
[25:10] two weeks or so because we're approaching the deadline so I do know a
[25:14] decision has to be made
[25:17] [Music] given that there's two weeks left in the
[25:24] fiscal year are we currently running a surplus reason why I ask that questions
[25:29] given by the council in this question mayor could a is discretion if you're
[25:33] running a surplus starting $200,000 [Applause]
[25:39] that is correct and I can I insert that I fit more on the bullet my mask answer
[25:45] that in the fourth quarter really no we do not have to put in 1 million to even
[26:07] are you talking about the three million dollar that seminar so it was a 75% 25%
[26:13] split buckets exactly 5 percent positive 25 percent which is 750,000 our CDBG
[26:25] most recent application that was presented to the council includes
[26:28] funding to help cover those costs and or but that money isn't do all right away
[26:33] and so we can pay it over a span of a few years depending on what CVG ends up
[26:42] giving us doesn't get what they said
[26:52] in terms of the library did we give up the funding from that yes I can confirm
[27:02] that I do if they have to be seen that now that it would have been within the
[27:06] seven to ten business days I can that was the process that we all of you too
[27:11] [Applause]
[27:21] [Applause]
[27:26] and I put them on the bond
[27:34] oh I'd be happy to try to depending on what the question is I can attempt to
[27:42] answer it or why not get a paragraph I guess I'm just confused on this the
[27:47] spreadsheet no sent out outstanding as a last June thirtieth classy
[28:01] [Applause] but this well it's also 723 in this book
[28:13] I don't know I guess that is the those are the most current estimates that that
[28:19] we have this which one no so the top one does list the bonds that we currently
[28:26] have to this five different bonds that the city has the bottom is the
[28:30] scheduling now some of them fall off within that time frame but those are
[28:36] actually the five bonds that we have in the debt service that we are saying this
[28:42] is how much is successful 19 that's how much we're currently paying yep this
[28:47] baby can yes that's us that is what we are to be a gymnast so I call it this
[28:58] morning that a question related to this nothing like that wasn't that something
[29:02] so I assumed that after we finished fiscal year twenty we would essentially
[29:09] have a million dollars extra in the budget we can be covering a pain to a
[29:14] relative ballpark of two million dollars what was explained to me was that all
[29:21] the school construction plants are paid for by the state so if we look at how
[29:27] our current budget down on page on page 8 of the sub day that we just received
[29:42] when we see the school housing a direct payment the money coming in is
[29:47] essentially part of what we're using to pay the bathroom yeah
[29:51] and so we wouldn't get any money coming because we want and so well we would get
[29:58] a certain percent a small percentage of that because the reimbursement is 90
[30:02] approximately 96 percent and so that extra four percent or ish that we've
[30:08] been contributing that that part right so put out the like this year it's
[30:15] looking like we're going to have about 1.5 million dollars from the state
[30:20] coming for school housing 8 we won't have that five minutes we're no longer
[30:32] [Applause]
[30:36] so the state helps us pay for the school yes
[30:42] right because what is paying off but so like the disappearance of the bond
[30:47] payments for us doesn't mean a surplus of cash on deck essentially because it's
[30:53] money that's coming from the state that we're just paying back to it right there
[30:56] besides is 4% yeah but we still have to pay back yes because some of those are
[31:12] not reimbursable so the school construction and we're reimbursable and
[31:16] so we'll get that reimbursement until 2020 or until that that bond ends and
[31:23] then the other ones are not reimbursable and they were just committed to set the
[31:26] city I made in the past over a span of time so they will remain without people
[31:30] so they're the budget of the show we're paying paying this off for the rest -
[31:36] what you - the one in 20 where the body to show that Sh
[31:51] [Music]
[32:11] this the original book it's a page page 18
[32:18] [Applause] so so I guess my question is why are we
[32:32] allocating 222 6/4 which is more than our damn it why are we allocating more
[32:42] than we up and get one point for me for you know those are you're saying why are
[32:51] we got locating two point two six four eight four six that's the top of the
[32:56] lower pane is I believe I probably better for let's answer this question so
[33:09] I can take it down how make sure you provide the answer to you anyway
[33:18] [Applause] [Music]
[33:20] [Applause] [Music]
[33:30] [Applause] [Music]
[33:41] next Monday is the regular tops Romanian 6:00 p.m. no to see dizzy by a passenger
[33:47] public hearing that would be how they understand that Celtic school
[33:55] no television okay but it will not be here we might do a money
[34:00] the twosies budget process would not be
[34:06] due to the heavy audience like you just to know but I mean I didn't think
[34:14] anybody had their packet connect
[34:21] [Music] second
[34:28] [Music]
[34:56] [Music] [Applause]
