Thank you Mr. Chair for calling.

29
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Thank you Mr. Chair for calling.

30
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Thank you Mr. Chair for calling.

31
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Thank you Mr. Chair for calling.

32
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:12,000
In the county and nine of them don't use the program at all. So it's a very top work for my constituents to step in on the choice.

33
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:23,000
That's all I appreciate. I hope the program shows, I guess, picks it up and runs with it.

34
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:36,000
What does the commission support in assistance for IDI and IPEC? What does that support in assistance of IDI and IPEC?

35
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Well, this been a deputy mayor, a choice was highly engaged in the formation of the perspective of PIC before, an executive director.

36
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:59,000
And we contracted out last year for legal counsel to help us navigate all the water associated with the state statute.

37
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:11,000
It gave us a very small timeline once an executive director first to create a board and get moving on that and so that we support that.

38
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And they're now supporting a way through the statute now that they have a board and place.

39
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:30,000
They have the executive director. I believe they have a deputy director or soon will have a deputy director and are already moving forward with the guidance or referendum.

40
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:39,000
IDI is some funding that goes to IDI to help them through the D&D, I believe that's the transport portal for IDI.

41
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
But they also have a fundraising arm by IDI that also will support the robbery.

42
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
So what is the vision of when does I IDI have become funding assistance?

43
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
That was the goal.

44
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000
But it's just a little over a year old I believe and some day have a chain of leadership here recently.

45
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,000
They're learning that new leadership.

46
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000
You get adjusted to that new leadership and then they're also focusing now on the foundation more.

47
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:18,000
A lot of them the chief of staff there is is responsible for trying to fund days more and help them become more self-conclusion.

48
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Veteran service office.

49
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
I'm very happy to hear about the jobs we're finding.

50
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I'm curious.

51
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
So why?

52
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Because I know it's labor in the agenda and it's a question I ask every year is the Office of Equity, Lung, Inclusion.

53
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
that seems like something they should be doing, they're doing things that they claim to do,

54
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:51,400
that engaging with underrepresented groups. So, is it because they are not doing that

55
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,440
or why, I mean, I mean, I'm glad it's happening. I just don't understand why. To me, it seems

56
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,840
like we've hired somebody else to do because somebody else is doing their job. That's that's

57
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,040
my interpretation. So why does that happen exactly?

58
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:10,120
So, veterans, services, officers that serve our city, are working the federal government to

59
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:18,120
bring back federal dollars from the place that they're making with the VA. So, that's the majority

60
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:23,160
of their work. I think the goal of the work that you've heard about with IMDV is to people that they're

61
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:31,320
needing to work for those resources. How can we help them when they get job with IMDV? So, I think that's

62
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,680
the most important thing. Yeah, I mean, I like the work and the outcome, I think that's a

63
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:43,160
great goal. I just, in this one of my criticisms of the other part that it's something that I don't think

64
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,360
that focus on not. And so, I guess I'm glad somebody else is doing it, but it's certainly one of

65
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:54,680
the criticisms that that's on their circles. Every year, they come here and they talk about something

66
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:01,320
for its families and people with disabilities, specifically. So, that's why I asked. And then my

67
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,960
final question is, is there? So, having gotten through the contract negotiations and everything else,

68
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:15,480
last year we saw a production in the max spent, and now it's going back on. And I asked last year,

69
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:23,400
so last year, and we had any efforts that were trying to undertake with sex technology to try to

70
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,280
automate any of that, to try to reduce that, because that was in a pretty substantial increase.

71
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,360
So, it's relative to relative to the city coming here, but it's relative to the city coming here, but it's

72
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:42,760
one of the items that feels like it could be all made in the summer. Now, you can play it in the summer

73
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:49,320
and it'd be pretty strong in the summer soon. So, this is the first budget that those contracts that we talked

74
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,720
about last year are in there, so that's why you see the larger increase in being both years

75
00:19:53,720 --> 00:20:01,880
show up in the budget this year. In terms of automation, we're accustomed to use usage is going out

76
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:09,080
significantly, which is helping take off the workload, some from the mayor's representatives on the phones,

77
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:17,240
but I think that the human element of the masses have been used, but we're going to continue to use technology

78
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:25,400
to improve and support our representatives. Thank you. President Oruis. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

79
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:31,080
Thank you both for your leadership and goodness here this far in the conversations that we had prior to

80
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:40,360
tonight's meeting. A question about the education piece. So, we celebrate another successful year

81
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:47,240
at the Circle City Readers we get for reducing those dollars, and we say that our priority is

82
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:54,920
evenapolis Public Education Corporation. How those two play into each other, you're reducing your

83
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:02,520
celebrate in the end is of a priority for 2020, 7. Help me connect with that. Yes, I do talk about last night

84
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,920
controller before you all talked about the core government services. One of our residents expecting us to

85
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,040
serve and provide them that. When we did that exercise, we did look at some particular

86
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:21,320
years and say, give this something that nobody else can provide. And the answer was, school districts could,

87
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,880
and we've created that playbook that school districts can take on now. And I think the

88
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,960
arpid dollars that we've used in the past allowed us to create a really strong program. So, I think it's a

89
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:39,080
different function as you know, and you know, I mean, a lion under a fondly leader, a little bit different

90
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:50,360
then. So, I think as our path to use to work, I think that's something that should be encouraged by,

91
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:57,080
not only IPS with the charter schools. And, Matt, second, second question, I know you haven't had much

92
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,800
time to process this, but the vote last night, how does that impact the conversation this

93
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:10,600
moment forward? So, I think we've had conversations, the hard decisions we've made in this budget,

94
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,600
really aren't impacted by the vote last night due to different funding sources, right? We'll be able to

95
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:23,560
process these time on rooms. And so, you could not use that only to now fund things like several

96
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:31,880
speakers. So, over, okay, take out leaders. I'm talking about budget overwise. So, now you get to

97
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,960
free up some other dollars that you guys are moving around and now you have access specifically for

98
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:43,400
road funding. How does that? Those additional dollars impact your budget? Are we freeing up dollars to

99
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,320
down, go back and fund other priorities? Like, what does that look like? What does this shift look like?

100
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:56,760
The money that we set aside in the budget, the $10 million was for the match. The message and then also

101
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,600
the fiscal money that we set aside that when we were engaging in budget conversations before tonight

102
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,640
and before last night, we asked the representative of the council what their priority was and their priority

103
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:14,040
was infrastructure. So, in last night, what occurred from counselors, what's at their number one

104
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,880
complaint? It's infrastructure. And so, that's the case, just because we had a disaster money from the

105
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,400
wheels asked. It just means we had a woman and had to put in her roads. Okay. And so, we had adjusted the

106
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:31,720
budget, whatever infrastructure as we heard last night from multiple counselors is your number one priority.

107
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Removing that infrastructure money, putting in something else doesn't, it also doesn't help

108
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:44,760
each or one priority. And also not knowing what that money will come in to us from the state at

109
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:50,680
in June of next year. We may need that to knowing that all are still to meet the state's match.

110
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,280
Thank you. Thank you. Councillor Boots.

111
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,080
Councillor Boots. We get a raise your hand. Highly discerning.

112
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Yes, sir. I'm blind. Yes, sir. I'm looking on slide 16 in the priorities and outcomes.

113
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,600
We expect a quality of life issues, but that's a dollar figure. You tied to the item that is

114
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:36,920
issues. So, I'd like to tell you about living in the city's family. So, there's a number of issues

115
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:43,640
that's similar to what you think about the airport. So, it's not a disaster. Okay.

116
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:53,480
And, can I connect my dots? How does I beg? Help the citizens of my district,

117
00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:00,760
do you have the more side? I think it's over IPS and charter schools within the United States.

118
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:08,760
Okay. And then on that one slide three, do you have any way we can get that or charted with all the names

119
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:15,320
and services that you possible? Are we going to work on that? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

120
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:25,320
Councillor Neuson. Thank you, Chairman. As one, and thank you, Chief, as the mayor and the

121
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:33,960
director of the meeting here, I actually want to just quickly follow up similar to what I know last year

122
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,240
and the presentation. There was a mayor's office budget that wasn't being used to support

123
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,240
contract or I've had. So, the budget authority, I actually know this because we don't

124
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,880
work very closely together on this, but is it just being used to kind of offset

125
00:25:51,880 --> 00:26:00,680
other chair of the one or character three expenses in this year's budget? I know before I was

126
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:07,000
being used, I believe it was. Former Chief Parker said was for previous deputy mayor's role

127
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,040
and I just was curious where that budget authority was making the whole IPAC report. Yeah,

128
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:19,000
it was used to take offset the contract. That there was a different appropriation of $45,000 right

129
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:28,520
character three. So, the mayor's office has always had character three. What's the early last year

130
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:36,200
and to the ambition? It was used for the contract to get the aligns off the ground and then I got off the ground.

131
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:42,840
So, next year we don't even have it all. But we did see a decrease in how much of it.

132
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:49,720
Yeah, $45,000. That was decreased that a character three. Yeah, I think I misspoke and that was

133
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:56,600
being used for the aligns. I guess that I have the facts. Yeah, so I'm excuse me. I just want to also point

134
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:02,520
out that I do, I really appreciate one of the structural changes to the mayor's office budget

135
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:09,080
which is going in M&A and VSO. I think that's one of the things that's like, I don't know anyone

136
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,880
who cares, but I just think it's structurally a good government thing to better align

137
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:21,400
what the mayor's office is doing and what BMS is doing and what OPHs are doing and that that's just structurally

138
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,480
a really good idea. So, I wanted to say that things were doing that small, but important for

139
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:33,560
I think government transparency. So, thank you. And then, I'll be sending something to the controller.

140
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:39,080
I just want to say once again, thank you for collaboration. I'm putting this together.

141
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,200
As I said on the floor last year, when we voted on the budget, we're in year two,

142
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:50,280
we'll be a dramatic change to local government finance. State of Indiana,

143
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,680
but one of the largest city in the state of Indiana. And so, I think fall across.

144
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,560
You're going to be continuing to say it, you know, if you have the privilege of continuing to serve in the future,

145
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:06,520
like we are just in the back of the beginning and we don't know what else could change. If you listen to the controller

146
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:13,160
last night, one of the things that we didn't know until we were working on, it wasn't state block change

147
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:19,240
because of the per contribution. That was $15, $15,000, just like that. And it just goes away. So,

148
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:26,920
we're in this ahead. I know we have another year and a half of this term, and I just want to say I appreciate that,

149
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:33,160
like this is not easy stuff. And I appreciate that. I don't think you're going to have a good time.

150
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Thank you. Any other councillors have anything to discuss with anyone who

151
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,760
the public where it's speak on the mayor's budget. So, you know, thank you. Thank you.

152
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Up next is Abby Hanson.

153
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:35,800
I think it's going to intermix, but both of 233 want to do that. How do you guys want to do this?

154
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,800
Yeah. Do what you think, because the proposal of 233 is part of this, right?

155
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Yeah. So, we'll start with 236 to intermix our adjustment.

156
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,000
We're going to present on three proposals. We'll stop between, but I have to make her with me that we control her who will help me when we get to the end of that to group of presentations.

157
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:38,000
So, this presentation, hopefully, at this point, seems very routine and worth. We have done this, I don't know, we're going on like five or six years.

158
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:57,000
So, just as a reminder, we are, this is the first step of the two-step process for us to make an adjustment to the left, for you's great, but the goal being that we want it to be as low as it possibly can be to spin down the money that we have in a supplemental fund without taking this action, which is set there and couldn't do anything.

159
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
So, the first step, authorizes the city to reach out to the Department of Local Government.

160
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Finance for their approval to make the rate reduction.

161
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:13,000
So, if we approve this, then we will come back for round two and actually make the rate change.

162
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Just remind her on how income tax apparently works for a little bit longer.

163
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000
We start with certified distributions, that's the big amount that the state says you're going to receive.

164
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Then those are distributed to these different buckets.

165
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Those buckets are set by the city County Council based on the rates that we have, the status from here.

166
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:48,000
The next and then state statute dictates, which units of government receive those received distributions from each rate type.

167
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000
So, we are talking about the levy freeze rate tonight.

168
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:01,000
So, on the levy times, you can see what the rates are currently adding up to 2.02 percent.

169
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:08,000
And on the right, with this proposal, we are still at what citizens pay is still 2.02 percent.

170
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:18,000
What we are not even in adjustment to is how we allocate the revenue from that 2.02 percent.

171
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
So, again, this is a similar comparison that I'm actually looking at the rate.

172
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000
On the left hand side, it we did nothing.

173
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:37,000
We would add money to our, we have a fund and extra fund balances associated with the levy freeze indexes of what we need.

174
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:46,000
If we do the rate shift that we are proposing, we will spin down the fund balances that from the spring supplemental that we received.

175
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,000
So, we will spin all of that and we will spend about half of the fund balances that exist right now.

176
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:59,000
With 20, 28, the final year, the levy freeze is going to even exist.

177
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Basically, just so, how much money are we going to have?

178
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000
We split it out over three years and just re-burning the rate down each year to account with that.

179
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Do you want any questions?

180
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Thank you. Any other questions?

181
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Any other questions?

182
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The levy freeze goes away and what that looks like for human profits?

183
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
What does that look like for us as we can look at future budgets?

184
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Most importantly, are we communicating with two taxpayers in this position that we have to make in the result of that.

185
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:56,000
So, the levy freeze exists because in 2009 and 2010, the state gave local governments the opportunity to forego growth in their property taxis.

186
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Because that was what that for the property tax cast were impacted and never looked.

187
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Again, kind of really looking for what was the one.

188
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:09,000
So, we chose to raise our income tax, keep our property taxes flat.

189
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
That no longer exists.

190
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Anywhere, like the ability to do this doesn't even exist.

191
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,000
So, we distribute this based on the levy that people did not like the extra levy.

192
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,000
They could have collected but did.

193
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,000
When this goes away in 2029, people will be able.

194
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
I shouldn't think people.

195
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Units of government will be able to increase their property taxes back for the amount that they gave up in 2009 and 2010.

196
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:47,000
So, units of government will no longer be able to be flooded again through property taxes.

197
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
And as far as the rest of the income tax goes.

198
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000
So, the legislative thought, like that's the decision that we all have to make together, is to point out to the right rate.

199
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Is it something different?

200
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,000
And what those buckets are totally different than they are today.

201
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Thank you.

202
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
I appreciate your knowledge.

203
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Thank you.

204
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Councillor Neillson.

205
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Thank you Chairman.

206
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Thank you, controller.

207
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
I will say that this is part of the best way you can explain this so far.

208
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I really appreciate it.

209
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Just all of the stage direction, because this is a, is not something that's easy to digest.

210
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,000
It really is.

211
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
And so, just well done every year.

212
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
It's a little bit.

213
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
I think at presentation, because it's very challenging to present so well done.

214
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,000
So, on the, on the question, kind of following up from Councillor Welles or the conversation you were having.

215
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:50,000
So, when the local units are then able to capture the Webby freeze on the property tax time.

216
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Is your understanding of SB 11210 that that money would be affected by the circuit breaker?

217
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Yes.

218
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
So, we would also lose that.

219
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Yes.

220
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000
So, you will be able to let me, I think, 50 million is essentially what our let me freeze.

221
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
And now is we will let you for 54.

222
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
We won't collect it.

223
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, okay.

224
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:26,000
So, as we're looking at the list structure, we would need to be able to structure in a way that also doesn't.

225
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
It also compensates for any circuit breaker losses on the ship.

226
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
It's definitely something we need to keep in consider.

227
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Okay.

228
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
So, I, I, when you said that, I did not realize that's what it was doing.

229
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,000
So, that's very, that's really important to now.

230
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So, thank you for that.

231
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Thanks, control it.

232
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Thank you, Chairman.

233
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Any other councillors?

234
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Questions or comments?

235
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Yes.

236
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Seeing any, any work in the audience would speak on proposal 276.

237
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Seeing an entertainer motion?

238
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Assembly.

239
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Assembly.

240
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Second it, all those affairs say aye.

241
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Opposed?

242
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Thank you.

243
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Now, you should get to say that, right?

244
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
That's correct.

245
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
All right.

246
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Who's doing 243?

247
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Where's it now?

248
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000
We're going to do that.

249
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
We're going to do all of this budget presentation.

250
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Okay.

251
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
And then we only have one slide on 248.

252
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Okay.

253
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
I trust you.

254
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Okay.

255
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Okay.

256
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
We're going to start by giving you a little overview of what

257
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
this office looks like or a structure is.

258
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,000
And it's a fun picture of the museum.

259
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
So, we have board decisions.

260
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
And as I walk through your chart, you will see the work they do to serve other agencies in the

261
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Part of the Bureau largely in internal service agency.

262
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
First is the budget team.

263
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
It is shockingly small, but mighty team for the size of our budget.

264
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,000
There are four budget analysts, two budget managers and a budget director.

265
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000
They develop that $1.9 billion.

266
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Next, we have the financial reporting division.

267
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:06,000
They oversee grants, regulatory, which is like cash management, that management, financial reporting,

268
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
who oversees our external audits and the constitution of our financial statements.

269
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:19,000
And finally, we have revenue recovery who serves as the civil collection agent on the DLC and the desk of the city of the county.

270
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:25,000
We have a few of the resources team who oversees benefit, talent, training, employee relations and

271
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,000
compensation.

272
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,000
And then finally, we have the administrative and real estate division, which is made up of real estate,

273
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
risk, purchasing, and archives being the newest division.

274
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
But now, at this point, a couple of years old.

275
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
So, this is the purchasing team.

276
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:50,000
These are the interns that worked with the archives in the Indiology program and helped with some of the work

277
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,000
that was done during long memorial.

278
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:02,000
We're having a recovery team, Jordan, our archivist working on some artifacts that we have.

279
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:10,000
The talent team, a job fair, again, recruitment of our job fairs.

280
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
And then the budget team.

281
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,000
So, currently, at 69, people on our staff with 17 managers and one position that we're working with bill.

282
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Our staff is a majority female, and I'm pretty proud of the diversity that we have on our team.

283
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:33,000
The other two other things I'm really proud of is that we have a 38% internal promotion rate.

284
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,000
We really have some pretty good upward mobility within our office.

285
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:46,000
And we also have a pretty strong employee retention, our team on average has six years of tenure, which is very helpful.

286
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:53,000
And these complex financial environments that teaching people all the time how the systems work.

287
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:03,000
So now, to go to some of the ways that we do engage with the community and do outreach, hiring is obviously one of those categories.

288
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:10,000
So, the HR team has attended 23 job fairs in 2026 and has six more scheduled for later this year.

289
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:19,000
They also have participated in employee and these modern apprenticeship program, where we have posted a high school student for multiple years.

290
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
And it's helped on the HR team.

291
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Our archivist has launched the in theology program, internship program.

292
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
This is the second summer doing it, and it looks a little differently.

293
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:42,000
The first summer, but it's a great opportunity for kids to get experience into either say kind of a niche area that you don't always have opportunities to experience.

294
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Financial management.

295
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:56,000
On that realm, we are excited to announce that we submitted our first popular annual financial report, which takes a 217-page really dense annual report.

296
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And it stills it down into 21 pages of graphics to explain what our financial situation was at the end of 2025.

297
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
We have submitted that for GFOA's government finance officer association award program.

298
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,000
And if you receive the award, we will have received three of the four awards they offer, which would be really exciting as we do.

299
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Participating works very closely with OMSWD to do vendor open houses and strengthen business relationships and informed local XPE vendors about contracting opportunities.

300
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Along that same day, they've also rolled out an online being portal, which we're going to mention a couple times in this presentation, because it's a big exciting update.

301
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,000
But it provides a better opportunity for XPE vendors to ensure that their big documents are actively filled out.

302
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:57,000
And people are getting disqualified for like just administrative errors that were unintentional, but those things were kind of happening.

303
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,000
And then finally we have expanded our community outreach opportunities through our kind of division.

304
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:18,000
And while they aren't open for walking customers in 2026, they have given 40 tours to 116 people in 12 talks or programs for out the free to 842 people.

305
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
So this is a slide of some of our accomplishments over the years.

306
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:28,000
The first two at the top are obviously things I talked about last night are documents.

307
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000
And how they want awards.

308
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
We have also collected 44% more interest and budgeted.

309
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:41,000
We have increased people's participation in defense of driving and ocean training.

310
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,000
So trying to reduce some of our safety issues.

311
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
The launch of rapid procurement management was on the portal.

312
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:58,000
I was mentioning, we've also implemented another software system in the previous area that allows driver.

313
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Any city county where you get an accident, they submit an accident report.

314
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:12,000
We're just going to help us increase our insurance recovery rate and also just track information about like, are we having the same kind of accidents?

315
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Or are we going to train certain, you know, staff if there's trends in our accidents?

316
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Okay, sorry, purchasing has had a 60% increase and their vendor been workshop training.

317
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000
So people getting better, getting trained on how to bid for contracts through the city.

318
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
We've had an increase in our archives tours.

319
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:41,000
HR is extremely proud that we've had a 150% increase in our 457B involvement.

320
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,000
So people taking advantage of their retirement opportunities.

321
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000
And they also hosted the third annual talent showcases here.

322
00:43:49,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Okay, so the O&T, the real 16 also oversees a lot of the ongoing capital projects that are occurring.

323
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:08,000
It's kind of fun just to have a picture that here in remind you of the things that we have recently completed or are on the way to completing.

324
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
So we saw the waste garage which is open to complete.

325
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:19,000
The housing hub is not sure that beautiful, but it's the whole of the ground which is better than not having a hole in the ground.

326
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:25,000
The next thing is getting prepared for INP to make their move from downtown districts.

327
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,000
I think we have two of the fours done.

328
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:36,000
I don't know, we're in the process of getting all the fours done that we need to make that full move.

329
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
And then another, which we're easing.

330
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Priorization 20 is looking great at 32 has officially opened.

331
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,000
And then finally, the animal care services that open during this year.

332
00:44:52,000 --> 00:45:00,000
So our 2027 priority goals are, basically put them in two groups.

333
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:18,000
So, focusing on how do we name use data to make better decisions? And so, the first two bullet points are things I've already mentioned, but, you know, tracking accidents figuring out how to make better training decisions there, and inform our programs that we do.

334
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:28,000
HR is working pretty diligently on trying to find ways to automate and digitize their processes, and so that's things like putting union increases into our payroll system ahead of time.

335
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:39,000
So, having someone like type in 3% over and over and over again, because that was what we were doing. And it was, it was a lot of manual work, and so we're making improvements there.

336
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Doing some paper form, automation, just so that it's like rest paper was pulling throughout the city council.

337
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:57,000
We are going to continue working on the compensation package of days, things that we've talked about over the last several months, and implementing those now as things have passed.

338
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:09,000
The council process, I like the, the most recent one last night was the passage of the second chance option for, for employees.

339
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Because of a fiscal this spring, we received, oh, if I'm receiving $100,000 to do facility assessments from more of our facilities, we are slowly stepping our way to a more comprehensive capital improvement plan for our buildings and our vehicles.

340
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:31,000
It is a huge undertaking of getting these facility assessments gives us a place to start.

341
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:42,000
And then the purchasing team is working on measuring procurement savings and just ensuring that we are kind of in line with what the industry standards are.

342
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:48,000
And our financial reporting team is.

343
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,000
And we are working on the application and the information reporting.

344
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
And the example of that is the paper.

345
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Yeah, we just don't mess.

346
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
We're probably learning the financial report.

347
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
We've talked about that with every time.

348
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Okay, so then the other thing that we're doing is, you know, focusing on how do we expand access and engagement with either with the other employees that we work with this in this building,

349
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
or how do we make it more.

350
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,000
Our idea and information more easily accessible to the public.

351
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
So again, beyond my procurement platform.

352
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:27,000
We still have a dream of a customer service center on the first floor of the city county building.

353
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:40,000
It's been difficult to get there requires movement of some agencies and that's been a challenge, but ideally we'd like to have one stop shop for people to be able to go to.

354
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:48,000
And I think most people in the eyes who work in this building have written in the elevator was someone who has no idea what where there's supposed to be on in.

355
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,000
And I really said, but that's what this would address some of those challenges.

356
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:04,000
We are working on publishing an enterprise wide accounting and financial policy manual, which would just lay out what the expectations are for purchasing.

357
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Like appropriate use of government funds and how account companies will just make sure they're doing things, you know, firstly, across.

358
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Continuing with the HR team to expand knowledge and access to our benefits that people are taking and being the job what we offer.

359
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
At home, an HR trying to focus a little more on extent interviews or being able to do extent interviews.

360
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000
We really struggle with, you don't always find out that someone is leading until they're already gone.

361
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:37,000
You've lost the opportunity and so trying to get that information sooner is something that's been working on.

362
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:44,000
And then, you know, trying to continue making the archives more accessible.

363
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Now, we're finally at our budget.

364
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:51,000
So, since the end of that 13.6 million dollars.

365
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And I will talk about each, each character individually.

366
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Talk about revenue first.

367
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
So, we collect revenue in two ways.

368
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Our revenue recovery division is a political election agent for all state agencies.

369
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,000
We are expecting to collect 530,000 dollars in fees in 2027.

370
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:23,000
And then, secondly, the purchasing division is responsible for our purchasing credit cards, which generates a rebate.

371
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:29,000
We're expecting that to be about 50,000 dollars.

372
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:36,000
We are the recipients of four grants at this point in time.

373
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
The Jag of Lords.

374
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:45,000
So, on this table is what grant we were awarded, the total amount and the project dates.

375
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,000
The Jag of Lords are from the Department of Justice.

376
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:55,000
And they supplement the operational budgets of our law enforcement criminal justice agencies.

377
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
So, what then has been, like, a central holding area for a long time.

378
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,000
But we grant that money power, then, to the criminal justice of public safety agencies.

379
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:07,000
The $20 million dollars is for the little bit of your shelter from HEPA.

380
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:18,000
And we had a Department of Transportation grant that is allowing us another way to assess our public property for redevelopment and opportunities to...

381
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:26,000
Basically, identify persons with lands that may be have a better and higher use than possible.

382
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:31,000
So, character one is going up by 1.2 million dollars.

383
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Our 2027 budget will fund 72 positions.

384
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
We have 69 now, and we started the budget process.

385
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:43,000
We have 72, so filling the original 72 positions.

386
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,000
And then, allowing us to hire three positions that have been vacant for some time.

387
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
But we did have in the past.

388
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:59,000
It will also fund the 3% COLA, health insurance, increase, changes in, just assume changes in health insurance elections.

389
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Set in great.

390
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:06,000
And frankly, we just had a higher retention in our staff than we assumed we were going to.

391
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:11,000
And so, this is right-size in our future budget essentially.

392
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,000
No change to character 2.

393
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Character 3 is going down in the general funds slightly because we have ended a software contract for grant management that we enter into under ARPA.

394
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:30,000
It was helping us communicate and process claims for our many sub recipients.

395
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,000
But as we've closed that down, we weren't using it anymore, and so we decided to end that contract.

396
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,000
There is a change in state grants and drug free community.

397
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:54,000
We had a shift in additional $50,000 of the drug free awards to be paid from opioid, because the drug free revenues are continuing to perform very poorly.

398
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:59,000
The opioid funding gives us an opportunity to not impact that grant.

399
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:05,000
And then there's no change to federal grants or capital asset.

400
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:15,000
There's no decrease to character 5 to the character OCC.

401
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Charter 5.

402
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
And how do we have to answer any other questions?

403
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Thank you, every any counselor or a well.

404
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

405
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,000
It's a good moment.

406
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:31,000
I think on the public safety, I'm just going to need to know that I've been really touched on.

407
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,000
We have to ensure that the OCC funding goes to appropriate places.

408
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
And I really have to just be that transferred.

409
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
That that needed to happen.

410
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,000
But people are here to be really touched on that.

411
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
You're continuing not only to listen, but to do those that are difficult work.

412
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Thank you.

413
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Thank you.

414
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Thank you.

415
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Thank you.

416
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

417
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Question on the one-year-old points of 22% increase in defense of driver training.

418
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,000
I guess on the other hand, it's going to be where we have to do an ad job.

419
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
And then we're in better or like, what is it?

420
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:16,000
How would we have 22% to do an improvement?

421
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,000
I guess what is the metric?

422
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Do we are we not getting 100%.

423
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,000
What is that number?

424
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Mr. Wander?

425
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Thank you.

426
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Sorry, thank you, members.

427
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,000
The Council.

428
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,000
My name is Brett Wanderer, Deputy Controller.

429
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:43,000
I'm over the administration and the risk management real estate in several other areas.

430
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,000
One of which is defensive driving falls into our safety management effort.

431
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,000
We've done a lot of work on our workers' compensation to look at what causation we have.

432
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,000
We have on injuries moving vehicle accidents.

433
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,000
This is one of those things we feel like we can impact.

434
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,000
And a few years ago we rolled out defensive driving.

435
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,000
We're also doing that part as part of vision zero and that effort there.

436
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:07,000
We also do take home vehicle training and safety on that front as well to try to make sure that we're getting

437
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:11,000
drivers that are acting safely and not having injuries while in the car.

438
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Saving both torque claims and work comm costs.

439
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Yeah, that part, I love all.

440
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
But like what is the 22%.

441
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
I guess for some clarification, like in my day job, that number is always 100%.

442
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,000
Because when they just, it's like sexual harassment training here, right?

443
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,000
We hit 100% on the number.

444
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
Like in high day job, I would not complete the training.

445
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
I couldn't drive on the car.

446
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,000
So what?

447
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Where do we get to?

448
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Where do we get to?

449
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Okay, I'm sure we can come up with numbers for you.

450
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
I don't have the tip of my mind.

451
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,000
My mind's.

452
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,000
I don't know direction.

453
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Yeah, but directionally what we've had is we've taken several departments that do have

454
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
take home drivers and try to make sure that all of them are taking depends of driving.

455
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
New employee orientations people are coming in if they are actually a driver.

456
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
That's a core mission of their job.

457
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
We're rounding them towards depends of driving.

458
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,000
And we have our safety manager come up.

459
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,000
I got to think so.

460
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
So are there still gaps in people?

461
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Image like core part, but like,

462
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:23,000
couldn't we get to where 100% of the people that drive a city county vehicle would go through that?

463
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Like is that it?

464
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,000
We're trying to get to that point with all new drivers coming in.

465
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,000
Obviously CDL drivers have their own program.

466
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,000
And we're handled a police and fire have their own programs that they work with.

467
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,000
So this is really more of our civilian base.

468
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,000
And I will say defensive driving has also had a drastic reduction in our accidents.

469
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,000
Particularly at department of business and neighborhood services.

470
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,000
We've seen those those accidents that were just routine.

471
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
Fender benders go down quite a bit.

472
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
It's just being more defensive behind the wheel.

473
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Okay, great.

474
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Thank you.

475
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Thank you.

476
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,000
Any other questions?

477
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Councilor.

478
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,000
Councilor.

479
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Thank you, Chairman.

480
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
I just wanted to make comment.

481
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:02,000
It's just one of the Mayor's office.

482
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,000
I'll be great.

483
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,000
Just to thank you.

484
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Councillor.

485
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
And now I know you all work extremely hard.

486
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,000
And I'll point out is that we work on this.

487
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
And then you have like three days to put all this together.

488
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
So that's this point.

489
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,000
I really want to emphasize.

490
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
And I think something that we should consider figuring out.

491
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,000
I think it's all a little more relief.

492
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000
So you're not working through the weekend as much as possible.

493
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,000
So I want to say thanks.

494
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
I feel like I have one other question.

495
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
I don't remember.

496
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
So.

497
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
All right.

498
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,000
Chairman.

499
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,000
All right.

500
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,000
You don't want to be the audience.

501
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,000
I'll like to speak on this presentation.

502
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,000
I'll say now.

503
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Now because of 243.

504
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Yes, sir.

505
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:48,000
That's enough.

506
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Sorry.

507
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Sorry.

508
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,000
So good evening.

509
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
My name is Janay Rale.

510
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,000
And I'm Sarah.

511
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,000
I think you can control over trying to report in this county.

512
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:06,000
For your evening, you'll talk about proposals at 243, which is requesting that we approve to renew the city's existing investment policy.

513
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
The current policy and the expires to the members of this year.

514
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:17,000
And in state wall requires that local investment policies need to be formally renewing every four years.

515
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,000
There have been no changes since I've been before you back in 2022.

516
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,000
The last time you reviewed the policy.

517
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
And just a little bit of the history of that ground.

518
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,000
The city first formally adopted our first and best of policy is 2014.

519
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:38,000
That is following a change in the state wall that allowed municipalities to invest public funds for periods that are greater than two years.

520
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
But less than five years.

521
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,000
The policy also strives in the city's financial management practices.

522
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,000
That's great.

523
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
And credit for the agencies to view formal investment policy.

524
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:58,000
And we have the primary objectives of the city's investment policy, which are in priority order.

525
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
So number one, the most important is safety.

526
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,000
That's protecting public funds from the investment.

527
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
We want to put in for losses.

528
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
The second is located with the need.

529
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:12,000
So making sure that we have enough cash on me and to pay our bills and pay our employees on time.

530
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
And then third is the rate of return.

531
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,000
And now when it's off to the right of the screen here, we're going to help up the investment.

532
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,000
We're not really allowed to invest in it.

533
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:28,000
So under all, we are only allowed to invest in the securities that are backed by the United States Treasury.

534
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:35,000
So that's including the last treasury notes, the treasury bills, agencies, government backed by market accounts.

535
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,000
And then stay authorized local government investment pools, such as trust in the end.

536
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Which is a local government investment pool.

537
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,000
And that's the pool.

538
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
That was three years ago.

539
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,000
First of all, thank you.

540
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
And it's run by the state pressure.

541
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,000
We are not permitted under law.

542
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Investments, stocks, or mutual funds.

543
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Down in the way.

544
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Because the type of market.

545
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Big coin or any type of cryptocurrency or any type of foreign investments.

546
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
This goes back to the number one objective, which is which is safety.

547
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
And that's who goes to my presentation.

548
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Thank you.

549
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Anyone want to have any questions or comments?

550
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Of course we do 43 accounts per day.

551
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Thank you.

552
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,000
Thank you.

553
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,000
I do an arrow for the record.

554
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,000
I'll go and ask.

555
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,000
The related to the primary objective of liquidity.

556
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
The orders office.

557
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,000
So in.

558
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,000
When.

559
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,000
When everybody puts.

560
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Envoy system to people solved.

561
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
And there is their terms.

562
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Essentially everything.

563
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
But they.

564
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
I'll wait for.

565
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
I'll wait for the record.

566
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,000
So.

567
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,000
So.

568
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,000
The.

569
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:48,000
The.

570
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
My question is related to the primary objective of liquidity.

571
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,000
The.

572
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Auditors office.

573
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Regardless of what when people enter.

574
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Envoy system.

575
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Into.

576
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
People saw.

577
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:08,380
31stsh, not 30, 31st, whatever, they don't use that, they pay everything we need.

578
01:00:08,380 --> 01:00:16,080
Do you have an opinion on that practice and how that affects the equity of the housing,

579
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,120
the same issue of the life of the new government.

580
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:24,660
From theüküze, United States I appreciate the consequences of the time you have a purchasing

581
01:00:24,660 --> 01:00:27,260
of time in process, they probably didn't make it much.

582
01:00:27,260 --> 01:00:30,580
Now whatever it is, electronic language piece and then,

583
01:00:30,580 --> 01:00:33,220
I'll electronic the pages much we can.

584
01:00:33,220 --> 01:00:37,340
We are not doing whatever the private sector company does.

585
01:00:37,340 --> 01:00:40,740
I'm actually, you, Nelson, when I think of it,

586
01:00:40,740 --> 01:00:45,340
but I would say, who might be a little surprise

587
01:00:45,340 --> 01:00:48,620
that we still send a lot of paper checks.

588
01:00:48,620 --> 01:00:53,980
So, as that is part of it, I think they are looking

589
01:00:53,980 --> 01:00:59,820
to go to more ACH's and automated payment processes.

590
01:00:59,820 --> 01:01:03,220
And I think that is something that they could think about.

591
01:01:07,220 --> 01:01:08,660
I don't know, yep.

592
01:01:08,660 --> 01:01:11,180
You're right, this is right, those terms are important

593
01:01:11,180 --> 01:01:14,380
and for, you know, cash purchases, if you have 30 days,

594
01:01:14,380 --> 01:01:16,380
that 30 things you can pull on your cash longer

595
01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:20,260
and, you know, for being a higher investment return on your money.

596
01:01:20,260 --> 01:01:23,500
So, it's something that they should take into account.

597
01:01:23,500 --> 01:01:26,940
They are moving toward a more electronic environment.

598
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:28,540
With that, they'll, right, of course,

599
01:01:28,540 --> 01:01:31,420
you want to get your business a timely, you know,

600
01:01:31,420 --> 01:01:32,860
we're moving into the 21st century,

601
01:01:32,860 --> 01:01:34,420
getting your way from checks that can be.

602
01:01:34,420 --> 01:01:38,700
So, when it's now, cybersecurity is a big thing for this.

603
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:42,140
So, they have to ensure that they have a proper procedure

604
01:01:42,140 --> 01:01:45,660
to place when going to electronic to ensure that when vendors

605
01:01:45,660 --> 01:01:48,300
are sending their bank information and that when they're buying

606
01:01:48,300 --> 01:01:51,500
that is coming from, you know, the correct person.

607
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:55,900
And you, and the other stipulated on how much the quality that might make

608
01:01:55,900 --> 01:02:02,100
available to a city for you, for you, use the software properly.

609
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:04,780
I mean, I need not having calculations

610
01:02:04,780 --> 01:02:06,500
to my knowledge, I need some of it, for you.

611
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:08,780
Yes, it's really good in the time of the age of 22.

612
01:02:08,780 --> 01:02:10,340
So, think about D.V.W.

613
01:02:10,340 --> 01:02:12,380
That would be a really good agency to look out

614
01:02:12,380 --> 01:02:14,780
when they're making large construction payments.

615
01:02:14,780 --> 01:02:16,300
We're just large construction payments

616
01:02:16,300 --> 01:02:19,020
to our vendors being a trash collection.

617
01:02:19,020 --> 01:02:22,820
So, it's really going to vary on agency to take a seat.

618
01:02:22,820 --> 01:02:24,820
Thank you.

619
01:02:24,820 --> 01:02:26,220
Any other questions, Councillors?

620
01:02:26,220 --> 01:02:28,420
I'm just closing.

621
01:02:28,420 --> 01:02:32,100
Seeing none anyone in the audience, so I'll speak on this.

622
01:02:32,100 --> 01:02:33,660
Seeing any intergeneral motion.

623
01:02:33,660 --> 01:02:34,660
It's similar.

624
01:02:34,660 --> 01:02:36,420
It's going to move and second it.

625
01:02:36,420 --> 01:02:37,620
All those things, they're going to say aye.

626
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:38,620
Aye.

627
01:02:38,620 --> 01:02:39,420
Opposed?

628
01:02:39,420 --> 01:02:40,420
All right.

629
01:02:40,420 --> 01:02:41,420
Thank you.

630
01:02:41,420 --> 01:02:43,420
Hope to see you some other time.

631
01:02:43,420 --> 01:02:45,020
I hope not.

632
01:02:45,020 --> 01:02:46,020
I hope not.

633
01:02:46,020 --> 01:02:47,620
You're not going to be back when the manager is.

634
01:02:47,620 --> 01:02:50,220
I'll be back when the manager is.

635
01:02:50,220 --> 01:02:51,220
Aye.

636
01:02:51,220 --> 01:02:52,220
How's the answer?

637
01:02:52,220 --> 01:02:54,620
It's about to be put into the school.

638
01:02:54,620 --> 01:02:57,620
Office of innovation, the office of equity.

639
01:02:57,620 --> 01:02:58,620
Thank you.

640
01:02:58,620 --> 01:02:59,620
Thank you.

641
01:02:59,620 --> 01:03:00,620
Thank you.

642
01:03:00,620 --> 01:03:01,620
Thank you.

643
01:03:01,620 --> 01:03:02,620
Thank you.

644
01:03:02,620 --> 01:03:03,620
When is the first thing?

645
01:03:03,620 --> 01:03:04,620
I'm 26.

646
01:03:04,620 --> 01:03:05,620
Twenty-nine.

647
01:03:05,620 --> 01:03:06,620
Twenty-nine.

648
01:03:06,620 --> 01:03:07,620
I'm 25.

649
01:03:07,620 --> 01:03:08,620
I'm 27.

650
01:03:08,620 --> 01:03:09,620
You're 25.

651
01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:10,620
You're 25.

652
01:03:10,620 --> 01:03:11,620
Thank you.

653
01:03:11,620 --> 01:03:12,620
Thank you.

654
01:03:12,620 --> 01:03:13,620
Good job.

655
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:14,620
You're so good.

656
01:03:14,620 --> 01:03:15,620
You're so good.

657
01:03:15,620 --> 01:03:17,620
That's like number one.

658
01:03:17,620 --> 01:03:18,620
Oh, what?

659
01:03:18,620 --> 01:03:19,620
Oh, yes.

660
01:03:19,620 --> 01:03:20,620
Five.

661
01:03:20,620 --> 01:03:21,620
One.

662
01:03:21,620 --> 01:03:22,620
I didn't desk.

663
01:03:23,620 --> 01:03:25,620
One.

664
01:03:26,620 --> 01:03:28,620
Are you ready?

665
01:03:28,620 --> 01:03:30,620
We're just wondering if we can make it.

666
01:03:30,620 --> 01:03:31,620
You are.

667
01:03:31,620 --> 01:03:32,620
You have the floor.

668
01:03:32,620 --> 01:03:33,620
You're so good.

669
01:03:33,620 --> 01:03:36,620
The 2014 company's money has been recognized.

670
01:03:36,620 --> 01:03:38,620
It's the anniversary of equity officers.

671
01:03:38,620 --> 01:03:40,620
But you also have that many employees.

672
01:03:40,620 --> 01:03:42,620
I was through, at the college 25.

673
01:03:42,620 --> 01:03:43,620
I said, I'm excited.

674
01:03:43,620 --> 01:03:50,740
So our agency, the Office of Equity and Learning, who needed to establish in the fall of 2020,

675
01:03:50,740 --> 01:03:55,660
which is my number, helps to even see the line of their systems and culture to finance

676
01:03:55,660 --> 01:03:59,180
that's opportunity and belonging throughout the Indianapolis and throughout the State County

677
01:03:59,180 --> 01:04:00,180
enterprise.

678
01:04:00,180 --> 01:04:04,700
Who used by folks in law, on the board, in the others, being operations and innovation,

679
01:04:04,700 --> 01:04:09,220
data evaluation, strategies and learning, and thinking of being culture.

680
01:04:10,140 --> 01:04:13,500
We have a small team, it's myself, you first, the equity officer.

681
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:17,220
We have an equity training manager who needs our training portfolio, the training city

682
01:04:17,220 --> 01:04:22,580
company staff, all right, we get an analyst who lets us look at a collect data on staff

683
01:04:22,580 --> 01:04:26,580
and the graphics, something like our programs, and figure out how to use it to improve

684
01:04:26,580 --> 01:04:27,580
processes.

685
01:04:27,580 --> 01:04:33,260
We have an annual access program manager who oversees our main logistics program, as you can see,

686
01:04:33,260 --> 01:04:34,860
we're across that, but we're ready to go ahead.

687
01:04:35,860 --> 01:04:39,860
I wanted to touch three of them to see kind of demographics.

688
01:04:39,860 --> 01:04:42,860
Now, this is a three drop quote from our website.

689
01:04:42,860 --> 01:04:46,860
You can have a online dashboard that you can access on a e.gov.

690
01:04:46,860 --> 01:04:48,860
It has real time, a lot of cases data.

691
01:04:48,860 --> 01:04:53,860
So if you go on there right now, the numbers may be a little different than this, but even more

692
01:04:53,860 --> 01:04:57,860
of where these are the less, the overall, this is where I started on my racial agenda

693
01:04:57,860 --> 01:05:00,860
in economics, where the City County enterprise.

694
01:05:00,860 --> 01:05:03,860
And I want to talk about a couple of these representatives.

695
01:05:04,860 --> 01:05:06,860
And then I'll put a couple of questions for you.

696
01:05:06,860 --> 01:05:09,860
So I think it's the beginning of their discussion right at the end of it.

697
01:05:09,860 --> 01:05:13,860
There's a lot of people getting to the two things I really want to highlight.

698
01:05:13,860 --> 01:05:18,860
When we look at our race and gender demographics, our, our,

699
01:05:18,860 --> 01:05:21,860
well, appears to be a gender disparity.

700
01:05:21,860 --> 01:05:26,860
You look at this chart, which is looking at over 7,000 employees across the City County enterprise.

701
01:05:26,860 --> 01:05:32,860
In appears, as though we men and the reports, I don't know where we're going to do.

702
01:05:32,860 --> 01:05:36,860
Now, I would feel that if you're walking throughout the City County building,

703
01:05:36,860 --> 01:05:38,860
it does not appear that way.

704
01:05:38,860 --> 01:05:40,860
So there's to this drop and see what's for us.

705
01:05:40,860 --> 01:05:43,860
And a little experience, first of all, the data are showing.

706
01:05:43,860 --> 01:05:47,860
And I think a major reason for that is because this data is collecting it,

707
01:05:47,860 --> 01:05:52,860
when in the building, as well as I at P, I at P, D, D, D, D, W, D, N, S.

708
01:05:52,860 --> 01:05:56,860
So some of those requirements and some of those fields just are skewed part,

709
01:05:56,860 --> 01:05:58,860
I believe, more male and female.

710
01:05:58,860 --> 01:06:01,860
And so that is going to shift a lot of our numbers.

711
01:06:01,860 --> 01:06:07,860
I think the same thing is sure when you look at percentage of men versus women in higher paying jobs and in leadership.

712
01:06:07,860 --> 01:06:10,860
So I just want to keep that in mind as you're looking at this.

713
01:06:10,860 --> 01:06:15,860
When we look at our racial demographics, on the whole, the City County enterprise,

714
01:06:15,860 --> 01:06:18,860
roughly where the city of Minneapolis, the American County,

715
01:06:18,860 --> 01:06:22,860
when it comes to balance of black versus white employees.

716
01:06:22,860 --> 01:06:26,860
We do see, we are lagging some when we're looking at Hispanic,

717
01:06:26,860 --> 01:06:31,860
or Latinx employees in the Asian employees compared to what is represented in the City County enterprise.

718
01:06:31,860 --> 01:06:35,860
So by that I mean, our workforce looks a little bit less like the City County,

719
01:06:35,860 --> 01:06:40,860
our residents, our communities on average, when it comes to representation for Hispanic employees,

720
01:06:40,860 --> 01:06:43,860
and Asian and African-American employees.

721
01:06:43,860 --> 01:06:45,860
So that's something else that we can take note of.

722
01:06:45,860 --> 01:06:49,860
You also see that this period of representation,

723
01:06:49,860 --> 01:06:52,860
racially when it comes to salaries, other employees,

724
01:06:52,860 --> 01:06:57,860
and percentage of employees are actually particularly, particularly when black versus white.

725
01:06:57,860 --> 01:07:00,860
So I want to call that as well as something to know.

726
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:03,860
And then there's a couple of questions that we can be thinking about,

727
01:07:03,860 --> 01:07:05,860
because again, there's a lot of directions you can go in.

728
01:07:05,860 --> 01:07:07,860
We have to set it in a lot of ways to parse it.

729
01:07:07,860 --> 01:07:11,860
So some questions that I'm holding now are by council to hold as well,

730
01:07:11,860 --> 01:07:14,860
how we can improve on butterfly lines in RA,

731
01:07:14,860 --> 01:07:18,860
Hispanic and Asian communities here in the Indianapolis and American.

732
01:07:18,860 --> 01:07:23,860
What strategies could we consider to ensure a more balanced racial and gender representation at different levels,

733
01:07:23,860 --> 01:07:24,860
okay?

734
01:07:24,860 --> 01:07:28,860
And do those strategies need to be different for different agencies in the markets?

735
01:07:28,860 --> 01:07:32,860
I don't know, but it will make sense to have one broad strategy that will cover everyone.

736
01:07:32,860 --> 01:07:35,860
And so we're going to have to think about these challenges that would affect

737
01:07:35,860 --> 01:07:38,860
DPW that might not affect or if he in the same way,

738
01:07:38,860 --> 01:07:40,860
or might not affect or if I'm in the same way.

739
01:07:40,860 --> 01:07:43,860
So what about we need to think about that, right?

740
01:07:43,860 --> 01:07:50,860
And then finally, how do we balance and understand what is local versus what is societal, right?

741
01:07:50,860 --> 01:07:54,860
For example, I gave here is that if you look at the percentage of people that are graduating

742
01:07:54,860 --> 01:07:58,860
in the engineering degrees that are awarded, about 20 to 25% of those graduate

743
01:07:58,860 --> 01:08:00,860
with engineering degrees and then if I was winning,

744
01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:02,860
then only about 5% of it identifies black.

745
01:08:02,860 --> 01:08:03,860
Right?

746
01:08:03,860 --> 01:08:06,860
So that is a societal challenge that is going to impact us locally as well.

747
01:08:06,860 --> 01:08:10,860
And so how do we keep that in mind without just giving up the same,

748
01:08:10,860 --> 01:08:12,860
that's all it's going to happen.

749
01:08:12,860 --> 01:08:15,860
But recognizing in many of the issues you need to in the,

750
01:08:15,860 --> 01:08:17,860
but how do we still address it?

751
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:19,860
And so I don't have interest for all those,

752
01:08:19,860 --> 01:08:23,860
and that there are formal questions we can ask about black or just things

753
01:08:23,860 --> 01:08:26,860
that can be holding to start their discussion.

754
01:08:26,860 --> 01:08:32,860
I want to talk a little bit about our community engagement outreach.

755
01:08:32,860 --> 01:08:36,860
Again, being a small agency, a lot of our work is focused internally

756
01:08:36,860 --> 01:08:38,860
on the city county enterprise workforce,

757
01:08:38,860 --> 01:08:42,860
and what we do get into the community zone this past year,

758
01:08:42,860 --> 01:08:44,860
a lot of our, just focused on the launch of our birth funds,

759
01:08:44,860 --> 01:08:47,860
which as you may remember is our maternal health initiative.

760
01:08:47,860 --> 01:08:50,860
And so we worked with external partners,

761
01:08:50,860 --> 01:08:52,860
our brief project, the international partner,

762
01:08:52,860 --> 01:08:55,860
the Indianapolis Foundation, being a local partner.

763
01:08:55,860 --> 01:08:58,860
And we're going to raise over 3.2 million dollars,

764
01:08:58,860 --> 01:09:01,860
that is going to 150 local moms in American County,

765
01:09:01,860 --> 01:09:04,860
to help combat infant mortality and race that you can have a couple of years.

766
01:09:04,860 --> 01:09:07,860
And so we do a lot of community outreach to learn about the challenges

767
01:09:07,860 --> 01:09:10,860
that moms are facing in different cities,

768
01:09:10,860 --> 01:09:13,860
in case by high infant mortality rates in the county,

769
01:09:13,860 --> 01:09:15,860
to help craft our program,

770
01:09:15,860 --> 01:09:17,860
and then to the launch of the program,

771
01:09:17,860 --> 01:09:19,860
we get out of use to make the aware of it,

772
01:09:19,860 --> 01:09:22,860
and encourage them to sign up when it holds out in the last fall.

773
01:09:22,860 --> 01:09:25,860
We did outreach for by design, which is initiative,

774
01:09:25,860 --> 01:09:28,860
that we're doing in conjunction with the mayor's office,

775
01:09:28,860 --> 01:09:32,860
as a result of a grant we were seeing about two and a half years ago,

776
01:09:32,860 --> 01:09:36,860
to tackle economic and equity in the community office in American County,

777
01:09:36,860 --> 01:09:39,860
and so we were creating a host of programs,

778
01:09:39,860 --> 01:09:41,860
that we were going to explore or enact,

779
01:09:41,860 --> 01:09:44,860
helping to a little bit easier to develop communityapolis,

780
01:09:44,860 --> 01:09:47,860
and as a result, to understand what the need to offer

781
01:09:47,860 --> 01:09:50,860
our community members, we hired a consultant this year,

782
01:09:50,860 --> 01:09:52,860
and who they're going to talk them to.

783
01:09:52,860 --> 01:09:54,860
Listening sessions felt Indianapolis across the county,

784
01:09:54,860 --> 01:09:56,860
they didn't want to want interviews and stand on a survey,

785
01:09:56,860 --> 01:09:59,860
and so we didn't give real time feedback from residents.

786
01:09:59,860 --> 01:10:01,860
They helped us understand how they're defining what,

787
01:10:01,860 --> 01:10:03,860
so we know what it is and what it is and what it is into them,

788
01:10:03,860 --> 01:10:06,860
and also to help hear from them what some of those barriers

789
01:10:06,860 --> 01:10:08,860
were to build them in and use that

790
01:10:08,860 --> 01:10:11,860
to begin to think about what policies we might be able to pull

791
01:10:11,860 --> 01:10:13,860
as local government.

792
01:10:13,860 --> 01:10:15,860
And the organization was launched last year

793
01:10:15,860 --> 01:10:17,860
called the Black Cultural Collective.

794
01:10:17,860 --> 01:10:19,860
This is from, they started,

795
01:10:19,860 --> 01:10:21,860
they're not called the Cultural Collective.

796
01:10:21,860 --> 01:10:23,860
This is an organization of local artists and

797
01:10:23,860 --> 01:10:24,860
the story is a community member,

798
01:10:24,860 --> 01:10:26,860
so they come together to support our community inapolis.

799
01:10:26,860 --> 01:10:29,860
Former Deputy Mayor Judith Thomas was instrumental

800
01:10:29,860 --> 01:10:32,860
and helping them come together and begin doing that work,

801
01:10:32,860 --> 01:10:33,860
and what she left,

802
01:10:33,860 --> 01:10:37,860
I helped to be meetings and they are now independent of us

803
01:10:37,860 --> 01:10:38,860
and off the ground around him,

804
01:10:38,860 --> 01:10:40,860
but we still try to resolve all of them just to where

805
01:10:40,860 --> 01:10:41,860
of how they're doing.

806
01:10:41,860 --> 01:10:43,860
And then finally, in the two and a half years

807
01:10:43,860 --> 01:10:45,860
we were three and a half years up in here,

808
01:10:45,860 --> 01:10:49,860
and in the meeting group of leaders that work with

809
01:10:49,860 --> 01:10:53,860
agencies, organizations that serve LGBTQ2 plus organizations

810
01:10:53,860 --> 01:10:56,860
and individuals here in very many counties.

811
01:10:56,860 --> 01:10:58,860
And just gathering them roughly quarterly to understand

812
01:10:58,860 --> 01:11:00,860
the needs of those communities and ways

813
01:11:00,860 --> 01:11:04,860
that the city might be able to better serve those community members.

814
01:11:04,860 --> 01:11:07,860
Talking about the progress we've made,

815
01:11:07,860 --> 01:11:09,860
so I mentioned the launch of the birth party.

816
01:11:09,860 --> 01:11:12,860
So again, being able to bring together local partners,

817
01:11:12,860 --> 01:11:15,860
national partners and raise over $3 million

818
01:11:15,860 --> 01:11:17,860
from the South American Foundation,

819
01:11:17,860 --> 01:11:19,860
the Glick Family Foundation,

820
01:11:19,860 --> 01:11:20,860
Elephants Health,

821
01:11:20,860 --> 01:11:23,860
and Indian Acceleration as well as other national funders,

822
01:11:23,860 --> 01:11:25,860
and small individual donors.

823
01:11:25,860 --> 01:11:27,860
And all that money is going directly into the pockets of

824
01:11:27,860 --> 01:11:28,860
Montserian Marine County.

825
01:11:28,860 --> 01:11:30,860
They give us kind of how they want to get it.

826
01:11:30,860 --> 01:11:32,860
During their second, their time is just a pregnancy,

827
01:11:32,860 --> 01:11:34,860
so by then they need it.

828
01:11:34,860 --> 01:11:37,860
And those payments continue monthly for three years.

829
01:11:37,860 --> 01:11:39,860
So we are in the very early phases of this program.

830
01:11:40,860 --> 01:11:41,860
We launched an November,

831
01:11:41,860 --> 01:11:42,860
one cohort,

832
01:11:42,860 --> 01:11:44,860
second cohort was enrolled in December of 2025.

833
01:11:44,860 --> 01:11:46,860
So most of the babies,

834
01:11:46,860 --> 01:11:48,860
of those 150 have been born now,

835
01:11:48,860 --> 01:11:50,860
and the rest of this year,

836
01:11:50,860 --> 01:11:51,860
we will be collecting that.

837
01:11:51,860 --> 01:11:53,860
The city's contribution outside of staff time,

838
01:11:53,860 --> 01:11:54,860
so that initiative,

839
01:11:54,860 --> 01:11:58,860
and convening is paying for their cost of devaluation.

840
01:11:58,860 --> 01:12:00,860
So we're contracting with the Regantry Institute,

841
01:12:00,860 --> 01:12:02,860
which I would like to present in my character,

842
01:12:02,860 --> 01:12:03,860
three-spend,

843
01:12:03,860 --> 01:12:04,860
July, it's a successful program.

844
01:12:04,860 --> 01:12:06,860
And we'll be evaluating metrics related to

845
01:12:06,860 --> 01:12:08,860
the infant and maternal health outcomes,

846
01:12:08,860 --> 01:12:10,860
and also economic outcomes to understand

847
01:12:10,860 --> 01:12:12,860
if these direct cash patients allow

848
01:12:12,860 --> 01:12:16,860
moms and families to gain better access

849
01:12:16,860 --> 01:12:18,860
to quality nutrition, better access

850
01:12:18,860 --> 01:12:20,860
to consistent or reliable transportation,

851
01:12:20,860 --> 01:12:22,860
better access to quality education,

852
01:12:22,860 --> 01:12:24,860
higher employment, higher salaries,

853
01:12:24,860 --> 01:12:25,860
things of that nature.

854
01:12:25,860 --> 01:12:27,860
So another two and a half years,

855
01:12:27,860 --> 01:12:28,860
we should have all that added.

856
01:12:28,860 --> 01:12:31,860
We're going to talk about the totality of the impact,

857
01:12:31,860 --> 01:12:34,860
but we'll begin to get some of those reports now.

858
01:12:34,860 --> 01:12:36,860
We've also been working to support the role

859
01:12:36,860 --> 01:12:38,860
out of a lot of our company culture initiatives,

860
01:12:38,860 --> 01:12:40,860
which include a company culture surveyed

861
01:12:40,860 --> 01:12:42,860
that went out last year,

862
01:12:42,860 --> 01:12:44,860
and the implementation of the recommendations related to that.

863
01:12:44,860 --> 01:12:47,860
We've done training for the in-appliced

864
01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:49,860
fire department, fire generation,

865
01:12:49,860 --> 01:12:51,860
local community members,

866
01:12:51,860 --> 01:12:53,860
participated in the onboarding sections

867
01:12:53,860 --> 01:12:55,860
through human resources,

868
01:12:55,860 --> 01:12:58,860
as well as done sessions in their lead fellowship.

869
01:12:58,860 --> 01:13:00,860
We're here today with training

870
01:13:00,860 --> 01:13:02,860
to roughly 240 unique individuals

871
01:13:02,860 --> 01:13:03,860
and by the end of the year,

872
01:13:03,860 --> 01:13:05,860
we anticipate having trained 300 city-counting

873
01:13:05,860 --> 01:13:07,860
enterprise staff members.

874
01:13:07,860 --> 01:13:09,860
Main lessons we're learning are that

875
01:13:09,860 --> 01:13:11,860
we want to continue to collaborate

876
01:13:11,860 --> 01:13:14,860
further with TVW's Office of Disability Affairs.

877
01:13:14,860 --> 01:13:17,860
We read the event of collaboration

878
01:13:17,860 --> 01:13:19,860
this past year in 2026,

879
01:13:19,860 --> 01:13:21,860
and I'm going to do a show that

880
01:13:21,860 --> 01:13:23,860
and then we want to continue to support our employer

881
01:13:23,860 --> 01:13:24,860
research groups.

882
01:13:24,860 --> 01:13:26,860
We're continuing to define two of our processes

883
01:13:26,860 --> 01:13:29,860
on that front to figure out ways to make those successful.

884
01:13:30,860 --> 01:13:33,860
2027 priorities.

885
01:13:33,860 --> 01:13:34,860
So as I mentioned,

886
01:13:34,860 --> 01:13:35,860
strengthening the ERG capacity,

887
01:13:35,860 --> 01:13:38,860
maintaining our training capacity and cadence.

888
01:13:38,860 --> 01:13:40,860
We want to continue to work with council

889
01:13:40,860 --> 01:13:41,860
and we've all related to this year

890
01:13:41,860 --> 01:13:43,860
to do a pass-alignage access ordinance,

891
01:13:43,860 --> 01:13:44,860
though in that kind of thing,

892
01:13:44,860 --> 01:13:46,860
which access program

893
01:13:46,860 --> 01:13:48,860
more highly visible and engaged with.

894
01:13:48,860 --> 01:13:50,860
And we're also continuing to figure out

895
01:13:50,860 --> 01:13:53,860
how to identify how much money

896
01:13:53,860 --> 01:13:55,860
we have in the budget to support things

897
01:13:55,860 --> 01:13:56,860
like translation and interpretation,

898
01:13:56,860 --> 01:13:58,860
and then continue to keep where that money lives

899
01:13:58,860 --> 01:14:00,860
within the community agencies and departments.

900
01:14:00,860 --> 01:14:02,860
There's this confusion about

901
01:14:02,860 --> 01:14:03,860
if we have money,

902
01:14:03,860 --> 01:14:04,860
if so, where

903
01:14:04,860 --> 01:14:06,860
which agencies have contracts

904
01:14:06,860 --> 01:14:07,860
for translation and interpretation,

905
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:08,860
which don't,

906
01:14:08,860 --> 01:14:10,860
and so you've been working diligently with OFM.

907
01:14:10,860 --> 01:14:11,860
To clear that up,

908
01:14:11,860 --> 01:14:12,860
to gain a better picture,

909
01:14:12,860 --> 01:14:14,860
so we can continue to get back to the part of the leadership.

910
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:16,860
So that you can then

911
01:14:16,860 --> 01:14:18,860
prioritize that translation and interpretation

912
01:14:18,860 --> 01:14:20,860
and interpretation surfaces.

913
01:14:20,860 --> 01:14:22,860
And the final thing we want to

914
01:14:22,860 --> 01:14:24,860
launch a second cohort of the work

915
01:14:24,860 --> 01:14:25,860
on this year,

916
01:14:25,860 --> 01:14:26,860
we're talking about you,

917
01:14:26,860 --> 01:14:27,860
and you've got to play the end

918
01:14:27,860 --> 01:14:28,860
to their community,

919
01:14:28,860 --> 01:14:29,860
and impact investment funds.

920
01:14:29,860 --> 01:14:32,860
We have our financial presentation

921
01:14:32,860 --> 01:14:33,860
within Mondey.

922
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:34,860
And so,

923
01:14:34,860 --> 01:14:35,860
figures across with it,

924
01:14:35,860 --> 01:14:37,860
so every single funding from them

925
01:14:37,860 --> 01:14:39,860
and all another cohort of Mondey's

926
01:14:39,860 --> 01:14:40,860
is a met program later this year.

927
01:14:40,860 --> 01:14:42,860
And then we also have an outstanding grant

928
01:14:42,860 --> 01:14:43,860
desk with the Indianapolis Foundation

929
01:14:43,860 --> 01:14:44,860
to launch an advocacy cohort,

930
01:14:44,860 --> 01:14:46,860
which would be an unmanned program

931
01:14:46,860 --> 01:14:48,860
in which we take about nine to 10 moms

932
01:14:48,860 --> 01:14:49,860
that are currently involved in the work

933
01:14:49,860 --> 01:14:50,860
fund,

934
01:14:50,860 --> 01:14:52,860
bringing them in to get training

935
01:14:52,860 --> 01:14:53,860
on advocacy,

936
01:14:53,860 --> 01:14:54,860
paid to the most sci-fi

937
01:14:54,860 --> 01:14:59,860
to, if I just take in advocacy efforts around return to health issues and issues.

938
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:19,000
We are hoping you achieve this year. So having over 200 pregnant persons and families supported to the birth funds, being able to really begin a push for vital document translation of the county documents, in the Spanish station pre-all, for me, is here to go down.

939
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:26,000
Having 50 new attendees to language access, women hours, and up or four new staffs trained on inclusive leadership skills throughout the enterprise.

940
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:32,000
And briefly, I do want to mention, I'll give that a second.

941
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:41,000
I'd like to. Our budget by March is not much different from last year, so you can see a slight increase in care for one spend.

942
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:52,000
We have the same number of staff, the same positions, the same people that $25,000 increase is made to a cost of living adjustment, the seven-grade adjustment in a slight change in health care homes.

943
01:15:52,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Care to two has not changed. Care to three, it looks like it has changed substantially, so I wanted to call this out because if you're preparing my budget last year to this year, it might look drastic.

944
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:06,000
We noticed an error in great funding that allocated to our agency last year.

945
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:16,000
There's about a hundred and ten thousand other grant that we had quoted to our agency that we had never applied for that wasn't really the ours, and so that was represented in what was presented to you last year.

946
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:25,000
So, in reality, our care to three spend it went from two hundred and thirty-two thousand last year, and increase some two hundred and eighty-two thousand this year.

947
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:36,000
And most of that increase is due to the contract we have to re-instrict this year, and then in twenty-two-seven, which will give about a hundred and thirty thousand dollar payment for their evaluation efforts.

948
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Care to four of them is the same care to five years off of slight decrease, so overall our budget has seen a slight increase of sixty-five thousand dollars this year.

949
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Before I get to the questions, I just want to respond briefly.

950
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,000
How's the pain of the US about why we don't do more run veterans affairs?

951
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,000
So, I appreciate the question. I appreciate your commitment to serving veterans.

952
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:01,000
I think that's something that we care about on the top with Dr. R. I saw a lot about.

953
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:10,000
I do want to remind the council, the best as I can tell, the Veterans Service Officers existed long before our agency did.

954
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,000
I believe at least as far back as 2018, and so they were already here doing the work.

955
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:21,000
So, when council established the Office of Equity Blongian Inclusion, I believe there's an desire not to duplicate efforts that were already happening.

956
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:26,000
It's that's why the veterans are not in our scope. They were already here doing the work.

957
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Other thanks.

958
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,000
Thank you, Mr. Trevor.

959
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Thank you.

960
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Thank you.

961
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Thank you.

962
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Thank you.

963
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Thank you.

964
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Thank you.

965
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,000
One of the next.

966
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,000
I'm looking at this whole part of the story.

967
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,000
How have you been?

968
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Yes.

969
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,000
I came on about six and a number before the day two was created.

970
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:47,000
Okay.

971
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,000
I feel like a lot of this started.

972
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Each and every single level of government.

973
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Each department already.

974
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,000
So, we hear about the diversity efforts in each department.

975
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000
The two, but here before this.

976
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:08,000
So, help me understand what it is that creates a need for your office.

977
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,000
I guess I should understand this.

978
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,000
It's in everything you hear from your office with your mother department.

979
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:14,000
So, it's duplicate.

980
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:15,000
Okay.

981
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,000
So, this will be an example of something you purchased.

982
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,000
Just duplicate it.

983
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,000
Oh, yeah.

984
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
You started off your budget presence.

985
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:27,000
They were seen here with the county city kind of demographics.

986
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Each department gives us that already.

987
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,000
So, why is it needed for your office to tell us again?

988
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000
I'm presenting.

989
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,000
I'm presenting.

990
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
We've got this for the entire enterprise.

991
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,000
They're not an individual department.

992
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,000
So, they're coming to give you what is true for their agencies.

993
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,000
I've been asked to come give what is true for the enterprise.

994
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:52,000
And that dashboard is also to work that our agency didn't need to be just before we were created.

995
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,000
So, in that specific example.

996
01:18:54,000 --> 01:19:00,000
We are able to help either coordinate efforts that are happening piecemeal throughout the enterprise.

997
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:05,000
And ensure that they're happening wholesale rather than just a department here in the company there.

998
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,000
And then communicate what is happening and communicate share best practices.

999
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Which is what we've done.

1000
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,000
I guess we've seen that we've got the groundwork down.

1001
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,000
We've got the website.

1002
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,000
We have a snippet here which is great.

1003
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,000
We're well done, but it doesn't seem like there's much else.

1004
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:26,000
I mean, you mentioned the community engagement outreach.

1005
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,000
And then they worked with me.

1006
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
How does that work?

1007
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,000
How does your work that you're going to give out your statement?

1008
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,000
So, as I mentioned a lot about you, they did not do it as well.

1009
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,000
A lot of our community outreach worked last year.

1010
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,000
So, I should ground the logic of our fund.

1011
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Which was an issue of that we helped fund the partners for, helped cast a vision for,

1012
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,000
and helped for names to do the program design for, and then helped raise the money for.

1013
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:54,000
And so, I don't think it's a stretch to say that ever when I happen at this time at our agency,

1014
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,000
and not, and it exists in here, hopefully.

1015
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:01,000
The M&As are focused, as far as I can tell, I'm sharing broad information with residents,

1016
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,000
or assigned directly to resident concerns, whereas our reach is focused on specific programs that we are helping

1017
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,000
to uplift or support or create.

1018
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:14,000
And then, you mentioned to the training you're conducting.

1019
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,000
It's the importance that this is training.

1020
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,000
What, maybe I missed it.

1021
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,000
But what were you saying the training was, what kind of training are you doing?

1022
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Inclusive leadership training is largely been the focus.

1023
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,000
So, that can vary.

1024
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Some of the issues had us come in and offer the basics of equity and inclusion,

1025
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:35,000
and some of the talk to us and want us to train on better and more healthy communication styles.

1026
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:39,000
It was in bias, coordination between leadership teams.

1027
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,000
There are varying training.

1028
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Some of the agencies have come to us.

1029
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:46,000
It's a big issue.

1030
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,000
We want us to train in each training.

1031
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,000
So, we do that, but then we're also trying to create stand-alone training.

1032
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,000
But if you, I can't appreciate you having a job to do.

1033
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:57,000
I just don't know that I can really understand why we need it.

1034
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:58,000
But I appreciate that.

1035
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Well, as always, if I may have it's always fun.

1036
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:06,000
So, I'm happy to start with you, one-on-one, and the training person.

1037
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman.

1038
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,000
Thank you very much, Director.

1039
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:17,000
I want to tell you in a little bit on those 20, 20, seven goals and priorities and offer my support.

1040
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:21,000
To be unique, I really appreciate, especially the language access,

1041
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:28,000
ordinance and funding where we are working on and thinking about not just our website,

1042
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,000
not just channels, it's to me, but our job application.

1043
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,000
The translation piece I think is a big.

1044
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,000
In equity, that's happening across the enterprise, so that's a big, big piece.

1045
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:45,000
I think for even employee attraction and retention, but also thinking similar to what

1046
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Council are capable of living to earlier considering that we're not just multiple languages,

1047
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000
blind and low vision.

1048
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,000
And then even taking it as best for there.

1049
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
I know you work really well with Director Frederick's with WPD.

1050
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:04,000
But how we even support some of our vendors and city contractors as well,

1051
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:09,000
because I think that would be a really beautiful way to detail a lot of the work that you do,

1052
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,000
so for me to already do those knowledge about things.

1053
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,000
I didn't have.

1054
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:18,000
And then the other thing I was thinking about is kind of how these agencies,

1055
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:22,000
apart from their own communications, the vision or communication chief,

1056
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,000
and really supporting them.

1057
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:29,000
I know there aren't a ton of budgets to put a lot out to communities,

1058
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,000
so they're doing a lot of themselves and doing really great jobs,

1059
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000
making flyers and all kinds of things.

1060
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:41,000
But how can we support getting those out in multiple languages and getting them out

1061
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,000
in really targeted ways to communities?

1062
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,000
I think that could be really, really huge.

1063
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Moving forward, and I just wanted to admit to you what make medical,

1064
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
and offer my support.

1065
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,000
I know on the far left side, in my internship,

1066
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:59,000
we have dozens of languages on the list that was like five.

1067
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:03,000
And so there's another doubt that even I,

1068
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:08,000
I would consider, could you support in reaching those individuals

1069
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,000
and neighbors that they feel well your work?

1070
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:14,000
And then if I kind of have a comment,

1071
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,000
and it's not a slide, but I'm just thinking earlier

1072
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:22,000
in the presentation, we talked about, and now,

1073
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:26,000
President, you alluded to the Circle City Readers program going away,

1074
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,000
which is something that I believe in, and I've advocated for.

1075
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,000
But then I know at the start of the budget yesterday,

1076
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,000
we directed it and shared, you know, what I really want to say on mission,

1077
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,000
literacy and education, our state fund is initiatives,

1078
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,000
and the same with health and maternal health,

1079
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,000
but I really believe in both of those programs.

1080
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,000
I believe in the work that's done.

1081
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,000
But to stay here and think as a mom,

1082
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,000
maybe I can put myself into a shoe of a mother that's in that program,

1083
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,000
and I can hear through the funding ends,

1084
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:02,000
and she has to return to work or what have you.

1085
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:07,000
The tribe's brain isn't fully, you know, developed in their language,

1086
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,000
has that really critical fourth year,

1087
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:15,000
and so into, we're helping 150 babies born,

1088
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,000
and their moms, and when it's time to read it, we're like,

1089
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,000
good luck.

1090
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,000
That's just really a comment in here,

1091
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:23,000
but I just want to give it a give,

1092
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,000
insight into the library and then what I was thinking,

1093
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,000
and why, maybe I don't necessarily agree with learning

1094
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,000
about the Circle City Readers program,

1095
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,000
even though it's great and other dishes can replicate it.

1096
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,000
I know, sort of, the city readers with any of us

1097
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,000
in your point, township, not just IPS,

1098
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,000
and so I think that's really big to you,

1099
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,000
east side to the website.

1100
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,000
I think that's really important to note,

1101
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:52,000
and I would be an advocate for continuing that program

1102
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,000
into, not just for 27, 28, full year,

1103
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,000
but even in the summer.

1104
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,000
And I think it would be great.

1105
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,000
You do such good work.

1106
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,000
We have these municipal corporations that we don't necessarily

1107
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,000
oversee and we recruit their budgets,

1108
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,000
but how beautiful is it to leave some of this work

1109
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,000
into our libraries.

1110
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,000
We need some of this work into our transportation

1111
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,000
systems and things like that.

1112
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,000
I really do see the value of,

1113
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,000
not because you're often put the work that you've done,

1114
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000
and I commend you,

1115
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,000
and I offer myself really your ship to the initiatives

1116
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,000
that you've set out for this journey on.

1117
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Thank you, Mr. Karen.

1118
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
So, that's the most.

1119
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman,

1120
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:39,000
and I apologize, I apologize for piggybacking

1121
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,000
off someone else's comment,

1122
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,000
to Councillor Wells's point.

1123
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:47,000
The program was expanded and served a lot

1124
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,000
of young folks.

1125
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,000
And so you don't necessarily have to respond

1126
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,000
this, maybe it's more for us to think about

1127
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,000
as members of the council.

1128
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,000
How do you decide which programs

1129
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,000
are really worth elevating

1130
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,000
and continue to fund and which ones are worth

1131
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,000
as decreasing those funds?

1132
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,000
And again, not for you to answer.

1133
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,000
She just shared that those programs are pretty much intertwined,

1134
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,000
but how do you really decide who gets the funds

1135
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,000
and who doesn't?

1136
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,000
But thank you for all of your efforts.

1137
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Councillor Boots.

1138
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

1139
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,000
Thank you, Mr. Councillor.

1140
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,000
I don't want to talk about the language access

1141
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
in the translation things.

1142
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:37,000
One thing we have learned out of our A.I. Commission work

1143
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,000
is some of the voting fruit

1144
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,000
that A.I. could present for any municipality

1145
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,000
is language tools.

1146
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:50,000
Either through telephone bots,

1147
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,000
intangue, service, D.S.

1148
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,000
What they were struggling with though is

1149
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,000
where does that best fit?

1150
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Who would be in charge of

1151
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,000
shepherding the championing an A.I. effort to address

1152
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,000
some of these language issues

1153
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,000
that are, you know,

1154
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,000
it's great to translate the documents.

1155
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:19,000
But we're talking, someone walks out of the bushes

1156
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,000
about it and said, I need to do a job.

1157
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,000
And they have a conversation.

1158
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,000
Or I call it.

1159
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:29,000
I mean, we have several languages in the back

1160
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,000
with A.I. we can cover every language.

1161
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,000
Almost all languages globally.

1162
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Is that something that's even on your radar?

1163
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Yes, and, you know, so to answer,

1164
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
think I heard you ask, if we were to do that,

1165
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
who would be responsible for leading that work?

1166
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,000
The answer would be, if your collaboration

1167
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,000
is with my agency, and I say at least.

1168
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,000
My know is that if my language access program

1169
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,000
manager read your, they would remind me that

1170
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,000
while there's comments with A.I.

1171
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,000
we have to be very careful about using it.

1172
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,000
For language access explicitly,

1173
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,000
there's some equity issues there,

1174
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,000
and it does not perform evenly across various languages.

1175
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
And that's not to mention the different dynamics

1176
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,000
that occur within a language.

1177
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:19,000
That's also not to mention the uniqueness of the information

1178
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,000
that we have to communicate,

1179
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,000
because communicating information

1180
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,000
about the Treasury's Office or the Court is office.

1181
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,000
You're going to use words and phrases that have meanings

1182
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,000
that are not found in just general conversation

1183
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,000
without a certain language, right?

1184
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
So I think there is potential,

1185
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,000
according to the analysis,

1186
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,000
we've done a landscape of A.I.

1187
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,000
if it is not advanced enough yet

1188
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,000
that we would have a large push

1189
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,000
to incorporate it for language access.

1190
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,000
But it's something we're still monitoring

1191
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,000
and watching.

1192
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,000
It's a thing how that should.

1193
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Now, I'm encouraged to just keep it under

1194
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:56,000
very nicely, because I know there's a quality control issue

1195
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,000
that you've got to speak in more language.

1196
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,000
How do you, as you're sitting there,

1197
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,000
have any idea that that's actually accurate?

1198
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,000
However, on that same page,

1199
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,000
that's the same thing with the human speaking English.

1200
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Sure.

1201
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,000
We don't know that that person's bill sitting at that desk

1202
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,000
knows what that he's talking about.

1203
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,000
The exact same question from the public.

1204
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,000
So I just keep that in mind,

1205
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,000
that in the quality control,

1206
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:24,000
and you do that like when you produce images,

1207
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,000
there's a statistic,

1208
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:29,000
how often do we check these conversations

1209
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
for quality control purposes.

1210
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,000
So I just encourage you to keep it under mind in that.

1211
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Of course, if I made one other comment on that,

1212
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,000
I think the other equity piece,

1213
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,000
we also have to keep in mind is

1214
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
and this is true for every sector.

1215
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,000
It's shifting to A.I.

1216
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,000
These potential loss of jobs for people, right?

1217
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,000
So especially when we're talking about the languages

1218
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,000
we're talking about.

1219
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,000
These are native speakers, these people

1220
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,000
giving us refugees that are getting paid

1221
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,000
to offer their expertise in store.

1222
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,000
And so I think as an enterprise,

1223
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,000
we have to ask.

1224
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:11,000
Council, or at least be very intentional with investing in a way that might take funds away from residents that do have their excuse and in an offer service.

1225
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:15,000
At least it's good today, if not better than any AS offer.

1226
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,000
So these are the difficulties that we have to continue.

1227
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:18,000
Thank you.

1228
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,000
There's always a huge size of the capital.

1229
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:21,000
Thank you.

1230
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:22,000
Thank you.

1231
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,000
Councillor Kagan, come question.

1232
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:25,000
It's true.

1233
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:31,000
The ones that are what the person that they understand is not at all, and it's not relevant.

1234
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:34,000
How to help the hospital.

1235
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:42,000
The idea of a region of public support, the committee clear, this spending is coming from the local and national grant party.

1236
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Okay.

1237
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:49,000
The on-the-dash force that we were doing, this is my comment earlier.

1238
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:56,960
have the rates we have, we have gender, but we don't have some other stuff that we've talked

1239
01:30:56,960 --> 01:31:03,560
about better in the size of the facility's size. And when we have a dashboard and we have

1240
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:10,840
a sense or those under represented over represented, I don't know, that's something that

1241
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:15,280
we can at least the veteran's size. I think we can add to the dashboard that's something

1242
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,200
that's something that we can't agree with, we'll be chair to the issue of top positions.

1243
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:26,040
So I can explore some bad later.

1244
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:32,040
Okay, the reason I asked is that because we have this discussion over here that you might

1245
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:38,360
identify that the question is happening to improve on employment pipelines in our understanding

1246
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:48,360
And I add to that that disability and better are likely, I don't have any of it, but I suspect that that's the case.

1247
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:53,360
But yet, the community trying to outreach that you list.

1248
01:31:53,360 --> 01:32:01,360
You mentioned that the Black community is represented at least roughly in a very good group.

1249
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,360
And I don't like the LGBTQ numbers.

1250
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:14,360
I don't like their underrepresented, but if we know that we have groups, age and Hispanic, better and disability

1251
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:20,360
that are, in fact, underrepresented groups, why do we continue to not list them at all?

1252
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:28,360
And I'm not saying to do to the exclusion of them, but we keep doing these and not the other target groups.

1253
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:36,360
Even as you've acknowledged that there are underrepresented, why do you want to see better in, better in status listed?

1254
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:42,360
Hosted in this list, status that we can legally, what other categories would you think?

1255
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:48,360
I think that if you are focusing your efforts on the community engagement outreach,

1256
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:54,360
to me, logically, that should be on the basis of those are underrepresented groups.

1257
01:32:54,360 --> 01:33:00,360
And so, if we have a data, it's on a parent that I suspect.

1258
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:05,360
Like I said, then we are underrepresented for what I'm saying is the community outreach.

1259
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:10,360
You mentioned that, you know, one of your questions, how do you improve aren't 25 lines in, right?

1260
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:12,360
Hispanic and Asian communities?

1261
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:16,360
But then your outreach doesn't correspond.

1262
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:21,360
There's not a program that you're saying, okay, we understand this is a problem.

1263
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,360
So, what are you going to do?

1264
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:31,360
Because my APT outreach is focused on the programs that we are responsible for overseeing a function.

1265
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:39,360
I think outreach to address the employment pipelines would be an enterprise, why question that we could ask and rest away.

1266
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:47,360
But my APT, of four people, my group, our outreach is focused on the programs that are launching, which we need to be very funded and by design.

1267
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,360
Now, those are my questions.

1268
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:54,360
And we're talking about the scope of workers in agency versus Western Enterprise, why question?

1269
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:55,360
Thank you.

1270
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,360
Any other questions or councillors?

1271
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,360
Seeing none anyone from the public, we would like to speak on this.

1272
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,360
Mr. Chaper, thank you for your presentation.

1273
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:05,360
Thank you.

1274
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:07,360
We'll see you in your unit analysis.

1275
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,360
There are no other businesses we are adjourned.

1276
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:10,360
Thank you.

1277
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:11,360
Thank you.

1278
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,360
Thank you.
