And quarterly 433 00:15:42,955 --> 00:15:43,956 updates were doing webinars 434 00:15:43,956 --> 00:15:44,590 regularly with the public to 435 00:15:44,590 --> 00:15:47,927 be able to update them on 436 00:15:47,927 --> 00:15:48,627 streamline Indy. We have new 437 00:15:48,627 --> 00:15:50,363 3rd party contract that this 438 00:15:50,363 --> 00:15:51,297 board is aware of because you 439 00:15:51,297 --> 00:15:54,297 approve them. About a month 440 00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:56,350 ago to him to do too. We have 441 00:15:56,350 --> 00:15:56,669 a new accelerated review 442 00:15:56,669 --> 00:15:57,336 policy that this board is 443 00:15:57,336 --> 00:15:59,736 aware because you approved 444 00:15:59,972 --> 00:16:01,140 late last year we were 445 00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:01,874 planning on introducing a 446 00:16:01,874 --> 00:16:04,874 version 2 of that version. One 447 00:16:05,377 --> 00:16:06,579 has been going pretty well. 448 00:16:06,579 --> 00:16:07,246 And so we wanted to give it a 449 00:16:07,246 --> 00:16:09,682 little bit more time to see 450 00:16:09,682 --> 00:16:11,750 like what do we need to expand 451 00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:12,351 on improved? So we're just 452 00:16:12,351 --> 00:16:15,351 holding on that at this 453 00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:17,189 moment. But the ones which has 454 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:19,240 been great, we are now doing a 455 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,226 recording process where if you 456 00:16:20,226 --> 00:16:20,960 apply for drainage permit, you 457 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,160 can often for us to record the 458 00:16:25,397 --> 00:16:26,131 documents at the end. So right 459 00:16:26,131 --> 00:16:26,765 now that can cause some delays 460 00:16:26,765 --> 00:16:29,368 and that we give you the 461 00:16:29,368 --> 00:16:30,870 document. You sign it.

Then 464 00:16:32,705 --> 00:16:33,539 you have to report it and you 465 00:16:33,539 --> 00:16:34,273 have to give us a copy of the 466 00:16:34,273 --> 00:16:35,908 recording. And it's just extra 467 00:16:35,908 --> 00:16:38,277 steps that we can help 468 00:16:38,277 --> 00:16:40,790 facilitate. So that went live 469 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:41,113 just a couple weeks ago, fee 470 00:16:41,113 --> 00:16:41,948 associated with that just the 471 00:16:41,948 --> 00:16:42,648 standard recording fee, we 472 00:16:42,648 --> 00:16:46,248 don't have anything on top of 473 00:16:46,552 --> 00:16:47,520 that. We just We start a new 474 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,355 satisfaction survey that now 475 00:16:49,355 --> 00:16:49,955 comes with every permit 476 00:16:49,955 --> 00:16:52,355 issuance email. So just 477 00:16:52,826 --> 00:16:54,860 general 3 to 5 questions. How 478 00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:55,562 did you how would you rate 479 00:16:55,562 --> 00:16:56,295 your experience? That kind of 480 00:16:56,295 --> 00:16:56,929 think there hasn't been ton of 481 00:16:56,929 --> 00:16:59,329 great adoption we'll talk 482 00:17:00,366 --> 00:17:01,334 about that a little bit. But 483 00:17:01,334 --> 00:17:02,100 we're moving forward moving 484 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,537 forward with ways to try to 485 00:17:04,537 --> 00:17:05,571 get more feedback from the 486 00:17:05,571 --> 00:17:06,373 community. We've working 487 00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:07,907 through different ways that we 488 00:17:07,907 --> 00:17:08,608 can make sure we're getting 489 00:17:08,608 --> 00:17:09,909 the documents we need before. 490 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:11,744 We're sending them to our 491 00:17:11,744 --> 00:17:12,445 vendors. Just overall 492 00:17:12,445 --> 00:17:15,314 improving the way that we're 493 00:17:15,314 --> 00:17:16,160 communicating through review 494 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,160 template. And so we're closer 495 00:17:19,486 --> 00:17:20,120 to from the bottom. Those 3 496 00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:21,354 case types existed in our 497 00:17:21,354 --> 00:17:23,556 system. The were not public 498 00:17:23,556 --> 00:17:24,290 facing. And so we found that 499 00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:24,991 people are having to reach out 500 00:17:24,991 --> 00:17:27,260 to staff to say, hey, can you 501 00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:27,927 open my chief infection cases. 502 00:17:27,927 --> 00:17:30,730 That is no longer an issue. 503 00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:32,199 Those public facing now. And 504 00:17:32,199 --> 00:17:33,533 then finally system discovery 505 00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:34,200 that is related to our overall 506 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,600 permitting system will talk 507 00:17:37,570 --> 00:17:38,472 about that. A couple slides. 508 00:17:38,472 --> 00:17:40,774 All right. So moving on to 509 00:17:40,774 --> 00:17:43,774 some of the data reminding. 510 00:17:45,812 --> 00:17:46,513 When we look at drainage 511 00:17:46,513 --> 00:17:48,810 permits, we talk about range 512 00:17:48,810 --> 00:17:48,815 from us. There's been a lot of 513 00:17:48,815 --> 00:17:51,215 consternation folks range from 514 00:17:52,486 --> 00:17:53,887 its take a long time. And so 515 00:17:53,887 --> 00:17:55,855 when we kicked off initiative, 516 00:17:55,855 --> 00:17:57,156 we wanted to really dig into 517 00:17:57,156 --> 00:17:57,858 the data and truly understand 518 00:17:57,858 --> 00:17:58,558 what are the turnaround times 519 00:17:58,558 --> 00:18:00,961 for all the different stages 520 00:18:00,961 --> 00:18:01,628 when it comes to drainage when 521 00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:02,295 it comes to structural 522 00:18:02,295 --> 00:18:03,863 specifically for class one, 523 00:18:03,863 --> 00:18:06,800 which is commercial. You can 524 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,867 see in that top table there. 525 00:18:07,867 --> 00:18:08,935 We have about 140 range from 526 00:18:08,935 --> 00:18:11,935 its in progress. 95 of those 527 00:18:12,439 --> 00:18:14,174 are waiting on the applicant. 528 00:18:14,174 --> 00:18:15,508 That means we have either sent 529 00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:16,876 them an initial review letter 530 00:18:16,876 --> 00:18:17,711 or multiple review letters or 531 00:18:17,711 --> 00:18:18,412 it could be that we've sent 532 00:18:18,412 --> 00:18:20,280 them an approval letter. And 533 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,614 we're just waiting on final 534 00:18:21,614 --> 00:18:22,315 documents with that. Many are 535 00:18:22,315 --> 00:18:25,315 waiting with the applicant at 536 00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:27,454 this time. We move. Now you 537 00:18:27,454 --> 00:18:28,221 can see the 2025 average is 538 00:18:28,221 --> 00:18:28,922 that we have for each of the 539 00:18:28,922 --> 00:18:30,590 different stages, whether it 540 00:18:30,590 --> 00:18:34,190 was a sign. Our initial review 541 00:18:34,761 --> 00:18:35,395 letter, things like that in 542 00:18:35,395 --> 00:18:36,960 2025. That average was 62 543 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,564 working days working to does 544 00:18:37,564 --> 00:18:39,666 not include a weekend or a 545 00:18:39,666 --> 00:18:41,267 holiday the year prior to that 546 00:18:41,267 --> 00:18:43,236 was 113. So we already cut in 547 00:18:43,236 --> 00:18:45,805 half for cargo. Is 45? You can 548 00:18:45,805 --> 00:18:49,405 see we're at 47. And we've had 549 00:18:51,444 --> 00:18:52,779 84%. In that team. That's a 550 00:18:52,779 --> 00:18:53,546 big number. Is a small team. 551 00:18:53,546 --> 00:18:57,146 So it doesn't take much to 552 00:18:57,984 --> 00:18:58,718 that big of a number. But, you 553 00:18:58,718 --> 00:19:00,820 know, we've had people who 554 00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:01,422 graduated so to speak to d-Md 555 00:19:01,422 --> 00:19:03,623 people who found other 556 00:19:03,623 --> 00:19:05,759 positions that we like, 557 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:06,459 nothing that we were 558 00:19:06,459 --> 00:19:07,160 particularly concerned about. 559 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,762 This all seemed kind natural 560 00:19:08,762 --> 00:19:10,530 attrition and turnover. But I 561 00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:11,865 am incredibly proud of the 562 00:19:11,865 --> 00:19:14,634 team that we've had that much 563 00:19:14,634 --> 00:19:15,636 change. And yet we are still 564 00:19:15,636 --> 00:19:18,105 that close to the target that 565 00:19:18,105 --> 00:19:19,206 we set for this year. 566 00:19:19,206 --> 00:19:19,839 Certainly that was 567 00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:20,573 year-to-date think these 568 00:19:20,573 --> 00:19:23,743 numbers were polled at the end 569 00:19:23,743 --> 00:19:24,444 of JULY. So could be trending 570 00:19:24,444 --> 00:19:26,647 better. And then you can see 571 00:19:26,647 --> 00:19:28,582 in the bullets they're more 572 00:19:28,582 --> 00:19:30,584 than 50% of the cases were 573 00:19:30,584 --> 00:19:31,284 assigned within one business 574 00:19:31,284 --> 00:19:31,886 day. So many feet see that 5 575 00:19:31,886 --> 00:19:33,320 days. That was actually 576 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,189 because of the few outliers. 577 00:19:35,189 --> 00:19:38,189 Not because they were all 578 00:19:40,393 --> 00:19:42,329 struggling to get Moving on to 579 00:19:42,329 --> 00:19:44,432 structural.

So are these 732 00:24:16,338 --> 00:24:18,573 abandoned home? Typically when 733 00:24:18,573 --> 00:24:20,609 we go and assess a repair 734 00:24:20,609 --> 00:24:21,243 order are expected, goes 735 00:24:21,243 --> 00:24:22,211 around the property and 736 00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:23,679 assesses all the different 737 00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:25,514 things that can be wrong with 738 00:24:25,514 --> 00:24:26,482 That's that's out of score. 739 00:24:26,482 --> 00:24:27,549 And that helps us assess 740 00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,384 penalties and things like 741 00:24:29,384 --> 00:24:30,719 that. But it's at that time. 742 00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:31,420 We usually determine is this 743 00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:32,621 in such a state of disrepair 744 00:24:32,621 --> 00:24:33,255 that we need to order 745 00:24:33,255 --> 00:24:35,655 demolition case. Can this 746 00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:39,962 still be repaired so those are 747 00:24:39,962 --> 00:24:40,696 all properties where we found. 748 00:24:40,696 --> 00:24:41,397 Yes, it needs to be demolished 749 00:24:41,397 --> 00:24:42,398 lifted them building process 750 00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:45,998 to, to do that. And there's 751 00:24:46,235 --> 00:24:49,538 no. There's no honor living So 752 00:24:49,538 --> 00:24:52,538 it's a crack To terminating 753 00:24:52,774 --> 00:24:53,875 otherwise it goes to Marion 754 00:24:53,875 --> 00:24:54,543 County and in a band of 755 00:24:54,543 --> 00:24:55,177 something very specific. So 756 00:24:55,177 --> 00:24:57,577 we're very cautious about 757 00:24:59,782 --> 00:25:02,510 using the make it. Yeah. Your 758 00:25:02,510 --> 00:25:02,885 question so that is the owner 759 00:25:02,885 --> 00:25:03,886 responsible for paying for the 760 00:25:03,886 --> 00:25:06,210 cost of the demolition? 761 00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:06,722 Correct.

You can see at 828 00:26:57,734 --> 00:26:58,368 any given time what road 829 00:26:58,368 --> 00:26:59,100 closures are occurring in 830 00:26:59,100 --> 00:26:59,869 Marion County, especially 831 00:26:59,869 --> 00:27:02,500 those that pertain to special 832 00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:03,707 events or dpw projects, things 833 00:27:03,707 --> 00:27:04,340 like that. We're also pivoting 834 00:27:04,340 --> 00:27:07,940 that tool to create a new 835 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:08,777 search for all cases. So road 836 00:27:08,777 --> 00:27:10,847 closures and special that will 837 00:27:10,847 --> 00:27:11,780 continue to live in one tool. 838 00:27:11,780 --> 00:27:12,515 But everything else related to 839 00:27:12,515 --> 00:27:14,484 permitting or inforcement will 840 00:27:14,484 --> 00:27:17,387 be in a new tool. So this 841 00:27:17,387 --> 00:27:18,388 allows you to visually see an 842 00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:20,230 area see like what permits or 843 00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:22,192 enforcement cases exist in 844 00:27:22,192 --> 00:27:22,892 that area. There's also the 845 00:27:22,892 --> 00:27:24,594 potential or the possibility 846 00:27:24,594 --> 00:27:26,896 for both of those tools where 847 00:27:26,896 --> 00:27:28,832 you could draw a space request 848 00:27:28,832 --> 00:27:30,733 notifications that certain 849 00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:31,334 frequencies. So for counselors 850 00:27:31,334 --> 00:27:32,680 or people, neighborhood 851 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,468 associations, things like that 852 00:27:35,705 --> 00:27:36,373 like being able to see what is 853 00:27:36,373 --> 00:27:39,973 open in your area is great 854 00:27:40,430 --> 00:27:41,711 feature. Encounter. Something 855 00:27:41,711 --> 00:27:42,378 we talked about last year is a 856 00:27:42,378 --> 00:27:44,147 tool that Acela our permit 857 00:27:44,147 --> 00:27:46,282 tool provides. It is 858 00:27:46,282 --> 00:27:48,651 essentially a wizard of sorts 859 00:27:48,651 --> 00:27:51,821 as far as like, you know, I'm 860 00:27:51,821 --> 00:27:52,522 building this thing. Here's 861 00:27:52,522 --> 00:27:53,456 you know where I live. Here's 862 00:27:53,456 --> 00:27:55,792 what kind of house and in 863 00:27:55,792 --> 00:27:58,428 thing, it's not going to be 864 00:27:58,428 --> 00:27:59,280 perfect. But the idea is that 865 00:27:59,280 --> 00:27:59,762 it can in just a lot of 866 00:27:59,762 --> 00:28:00,497 information and out of general 867 00:28:00,497 --> 00:28:01,431 idea. Here is what the permits 868 00:28:01,431 --> 00:28:02,665 are going to need. Look like. 869 00:28:02,665 --> 00:28:03,667 There's so much those things 870 00:28:03,667 --> 00:28:04,334 will cost and it will be 871 00:28:04,334 --> 00:28:07,304 integrated with the cell as 872 00:28:07,304 --> 00:28:09,539 well. Even her team conducted 873 00:28:09,539 --> 00:28:12,539 a phone tree overhaul. Where 874 00:28:15,345 --> 00:28:16,145 are we Translate into 8, 6, 6 875 00:28:16,145 --> 00:28:17,914 languages there. The 6 highest 876 00:28:17,914 --> 00:28:19,916 spoken languages in Marion 877 00:28:19,916 --> 00:28:20,884 County. The process used to be 878 00:28:20,884 --> 00:28:22,885 that if you spoke different 879 00:28:22,885 --> 00:28:23,619 language, he left a voicemail. 880 00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:25,540 We tell of the voice mails. We 881 00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:25,722 gave it to our translator. 882 00:28:25,722 --> 00:28:26,456 They translated them. They 883 00:28:26,456 --> 00:28:29,726 came back to us and we figured 884 00:28:29,726 --> 00:28:30,660 out where it needed to go. Now 885 00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:32,328 people can call and request an 886 00:28:32,328 --> 00:28:32,962 interpreter. Have a real-time 887 00:28:32,962 --> 00:28:34,962 conversation with those 6 888 00:28:36,433 --> 00:28:37,167 guys, languages. Short-term 889 00:28:37,167 --> 00:28:40,167 rental data. That is something 890 00:28:40,837 --> 00:28:42,138 that is. Regulated at the 891 00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:42,905 state level that we pass an 892 00:28:42,905 --> 00:28:45,305 ordinance under that statute 893 00:28:45,842 --> 00:28:46,876 in order try to regulate it 894 00:28:46,876 --> 00:28:48,712 better ourselves. We are very 895 00:28:48,712 --> 00:28:49,379 much limited in our ability to 896 00:28:49,379 --> 00:28:51,379 enforce short-term rentals 897 00:28:52,150 --> 00:28:54,117 when it comes to actual 898 00:28:54,117 --> 00:28:55,819 enforcement. But we're trying 899 00:28:55,819 --> 00:28:57,860 to make a better effort at 900 00:28:57,860 --> 00:28:58,550 collecting the data and they 901 00:28:58,550 --> 00:28:58,755 love that bit more proactive 902 00:28:58,755 --> 00:28:59,389 we can about reaching out to 903 00:28:59,389 --> 00:29:00,623 folks in saying, hey, you 904 00:29:00,623 --> 00:29:02,326 know, there's a registry you 905 00:29:02,326 --> 00:29:04,360 need to pay for. You need to 906 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,562 register. There's a lot of 907 00:29:05,562 --> 00:29:06,196 tools in the market that 908 00:29:06,196 --> 00:29:08,998 scrape the data, but they 909 00:29:08,998 --> 00:29:11,398 don't actually have. They 910 00:29:11,635 --> 00:29:12,202 can't guarantee true placement 911 00:29:12,202 --> 00:29:12,869 that usually within a 912 00:29:12,869 --> 00:29:13,571 perimeter so might be this 913 00:29:13,571 --> 00:29:15,739 house from it. That house we 914 00:29:15,739 --> 00:29:17,307 recently found a tool. No, 915 00:29:17,307 --> 00:29:18,208 we're very interested in 916 00:29:18,208 --> 00:29:22,120 because they do a lot of their 917 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,414 own q, a qc. So it's truly 918 00:29:23,414 --> 00:29:24,480 like here's the Excel File. 919 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,482 These are all short-term 920 00:29:25,482 --> 00:29:27,417 rentals in your area. So that 921 00:29:27,417 --> 00:29:30,920 cut off a lot of staff. Time 922 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:31,988 on our side it would be far 923 00:29:31,988 --> 00:29:32,689 easier for us to be a bit more 924 00:29:32,689 --> 00:29:34,124 practice with those property 925 00:29:34,124 --> 00:29:36,124 owners. Finally system 926 00:29:41,865 --> 00:29:42,566 Discovery. We recently. This 927 00:29:42,566 --> 00:29:43,867 board entered into an initial 928 00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:46,170 contract open the to do some 929 00:29:46,170 --> 00:29:49,170 discovery work. And develop a 930 00:29:49,973 --> 00:29:50,574 proof concept as we're working 931 00:29:50,574 --> 00:29:52,342 through. That's the we 932 00:29:52,342 --> 00:29:55,342 realized what we were creating 933 00:29:55,546 --> 00:29:57,681 was a scope that essentially. 934 00:29:57,681 --> 00:29:58,282 Would have collecting all of 935 00:29:58,282 --> 00:30:00,282 our requirements. It's 936 00:30:00,684 --> 00:30:01,852 starting to build in the tool. 937 00:30:01,852 --> 00:30:02,553 And the more we talked about 938 00:30:02,553 --> 00:30:03,287 that, the controller's office 939 00:30:03,287 --> 00:30:06,757 of the mayor's office, we felt 940 00:30:06,757 --> 00:30:07,458 maybe we should push the 941 00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:08,124 breaks here and maybe this is 942 00:30:08,124 --> 00:30:10,827 the time to request for 943 00:30:10,827 --> 00:30:13,227 qualifications. And so that 944 00:30:14,164 --> 00:30:14,865 gives open up time to put 945 00:30:14,865 --> 00:30:15,532 together a proposal about how 946 00:30:15,532 --> 00:30:17,901 they could potentially like 947 00:30:17,901 --> 00:30:18,502 meet our needs. Fed also gives 948 00:30:18,502 --> 00:30:21,500 us all the time because 949 00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:21,605 they've purchasing different 950 00:30:21,605 --> 00:30:23,774 companies to be able to 951 00:30:23,774 --> 00:30:25,976 provide more low. No code 952 00:30:25,976 --> 00:30:27,211 options and anybody else is on 953 00:30:27,211 --> 00:30:29,747 the market. There's a lot of 954 00:30:29,747 --> 00:30:30,447 leaner, eager systems now the 955 00:30:30,447 --> 00:30:32,820 market who are trying to come 956 00:30:32,820 --> 00:30:35,520 after a lot of the bigger 957 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,860 monopoly systems. And so now 958 00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:37,955 more than ever, we think we 959 00:30:37,955 --> 00:30:38,689 have the opportunity to get a 960 00:30:38,689 --> 00:30:39,323 really good turnout from folks 961 00:30:39,323 --> 00:30:40,524 who are interested in the 962 00:30:40,524 --> 00:30:41,825 permitting and code 963 00:30:41,825 --> 00:30:42,526 enforcement space. So we'll be 964 00:30:42,526 --> 00:30:45,526 conducting in our before the 965 00:30:45,896 --> 00:30:48,132 end of the year. Just to see 966 00:30:48,132 --> 00:30:48,799 what is out there in the 967 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:50,768 environment and what might 968 00:30:50,768 --> 00:30:51,468 work for system. And so the 969 00:30:51,468 --> 00:30:54,237 goal being that by the end of 970 00:30:54,237 --> 00:30:55,306 the year, we should know. Is 971 00:30:55,306 --> 00:30:56,600 it doesn't make sense to move 972 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:56,707 forward with a new solution. 973 00:30:56,707 --> 00:30:59,710 Doesn't make sense to to sit 974 00:30:59,710 --> 00:31:00,444 tight. With what we have. 975 00:31:00,444 --> 00:31:02,450 Should we be investing more in 976 00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:04,445 the current kind of? 977 00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:10,554 Alys? So you guys have 978 00:31:10,554 --> 00:31:12,954 approved several change orders 979 00:31:13,924 --> 00:31:15,993 for Ali program.

So overall, our 1029 00:32:41,345 --> 00:32:43,745 budget for 2027 is increasing 1030 00:32:46,170 --> 00:32:47,451 by nearly 1.4 million dollars. 1031 00:32:47,451 --> 00:32:48,152 There are few bigger changes 1032 00:32:48,152 --> 00:32:50,552 throughout our where budgets 1033 00:32:51,123 --> 00:32:52,891 organize going into 27. Like 1034 00:32:52,891 --> 00:32:55,527 those here on the front. And 1035 00:32:55,527 --> 00:32:58,527 why not being repetitive later 1036 00:32:59,697 --> 00:33:01,999 on? The first thing. Is that 1037 00:33:01,999 --> 00:33:02,667 earlier this year, House 1038 00:33:02,667 --> 00:33:04,667 enrolled axed 10 0, 1, went 1039 00:33:06,104 --> 00:33:06,804 into effect, which created 1040 00:33:06,804 --> 00:33:08,804 some pretty significant 1041 00:33:11,809 --> 00:33:12,510 accounting requirements for 1042 00:33:12,510 --> 00:33:14,510 building construction related 1043 00:33:17,348 --> 00:33:19,684 activities that are conducted 1044 00:33:19,684 --> 00:33:20,452 by various yes departments and 1045 00:33:20,452 --> 00:33:23,452 agencies. So we are impacted 1046 00:33:23,621 --> 00:33:24,322 by this and says d-Md. So 1047 00:33:24,322 --> 00:33:27,125 created a new fund that's are 1048 00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:29,125 building and construction 1049 00:33:29,193 --> 00:33:30,194 activity fund. I'm so our 1050 00:33:30,194 --> 00:33:30,895 source line at the top looks 1051 00:33:30,895 --> 00:33:34,566 kind of crazy. If you look at 1052 00:33:34,566 --> 00:33:35,266 the variance column time. But 1053 00:33:35,266 --> 00:33:36,202 overall holistically, things 1054 00:33:36,202 --> 00:33:38,360 are not changing that 1055 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,360 dramatically. Year-over-year 1056 00:33:42,106 --> 00:33:43,141 because of that big shift. We 1057 00:33:43,141 --> 00:33:45,541 are also making additional 1058 00:33:46,110 --> 00:33:47,312 changes in the way that we 1059 00:33:47,312 --> 00:33:49,213 larger department. One 1060 00:33:49,213 --> 00:33:49,948 contracted partner white 1061 00:33:49,948 --> 00:33:51,883 expenses.

But now because of 1065 00:33:57,889 --> 00:33:58,623 the new counter garments are 1066 00:33:58,623 --> 00:34:01,326 splitting things up. I have to 1067 00:34:01,326 --> 00:34:01,926 eat counter percent labor 1068 00:34:01,926 --> 00:34:04,326 related to certain type 1069 00:34:06,397 --> 00:34:07,799 activity. That kind of thing. 1070 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:08,533 And overall get into this than 1071 00:34:08,533 --> 00:34:11,533 the actual character one side. 1072 00:34:12,837 --> 00:34:13,472 But predominantly the major 1073 00:34:13,472 --> 00:34:14,772 you're seeing here is all 1074 00:34:14,772 --> 00:34:17,420 these her personal expenses, 1075 00:34:17,420 --> 00:34:17,909 which easy to celebrate and 1076 00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:19,909 talk about personal 1077 00:34:21,846 --> 00:34:22,513 investments.

Our personal 1135 00:36:23,435 --> 00:36:24,690 expenses mentioned that this 1136 00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:27,690 is where we're seeing the 1137 00:36:27,439 --> 00:36:29,839 largest of that 1.4 million 1138 00:36:30,750 --> 00:36:30,976 dollars increase. 1.3 that is 1139 00:36:30,976 --> 00:36:31,677 dedicated specifically for 1140 00:36:31,677 --> 00:36:34,770 personnel increases year over 1141 00:36:36,582 --> 00:36:37,483 year. 3% of that increase is 1142 00:36:37,483 --> 00:36:40,419 due to possible adjustment for 1143 00:36:40,419 --> 00:36:42,819 our non-union staff members. 1144 00:36:42,921 --> 00:36:44,390 And 3% of this is an increase 1145 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:45,324 to our union staff members per 1146 00:36:45,324 --> 00:36:47,324 the collective bargaining 1147 00:36:48,127 --> 00:36:51,727 agreement and the final U.S. 1148 00:36:53,366 --> 00:36:54,660 There's 2 other things. Major, 1149 00:36:54,660 --> 00:36:56,302 major shift in the reason why 1150 00:36:56,302 --> 00:36:56,903 we're seeing such a large 1151 00:36:56,903 --> 00:36:58,700 increase is due to our 1152 00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:00,470 attrition rate changing from 1153 00:37:02,375 --> 00:37:04,375 17.7 9% to 5.9% Attrition rate 1154 00:37:05,778 --> 00:37:06,879 is a multiplier that added on 1155 00:37:06,879 --> 00:37:07,847 to every single position 1156 00:37:07,847 --> 00:37:09,615 within the department. That 1157 00:37:09,615 --> 00:37:10,315 base makes an assumption that 1158 00:37:10,315 --> 00:37:12,752 if that person last, this is 1159 00:37:12,752 --> 00:37:13,652 how long we would anticipate 1160 00:37:13,652 --> 00:37:14,320 that position to remain vacant 1161 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,256 Fort still. So it's more or 1162 00:37:17,256 --> 00:37:20,256 less a vacancy savings rate. 1163 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:21,660 Because of our vacancy, 1164 00:37:21,660 --> 00:37:23,596 changing so significantly over 1165 00:37:23,596 --> 00:37:25,631 the years we've been able to 1166 00:37:25,631 --> 00:37:26,632 work them on negotiating, 1167 00:37:26,632 --> 00:37:27,199 decreasing our attrition rate 1168 00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:29,501 going into 27. And so 1169 00:37:29,501 --> 00:37:31,537 hopefully with this means is 1170 00:37:31,537 --> 00:37:32,138 that we'd be able to post in 1171 00:37:32,138 --> 00:37:34,538 positions a little bit 1172 00:37:38,211 --> 00:37:39,145 quickly. And 27. The final 1173 00:37:39,145 --> 00:37:41,114 note. That's not know year 1174 00:37:41,114 --> 00:37:41,780 because all the other city 1175 00:37:41,780 --> 00:37:42,415 agencies have been talking 1176 00:37:42,415 --> 00:37:43,149 about it in their budget 1177 00:37:43,149 --> 00:37:46,149 presentations.

And then for new agency 1423 00:46:42,391 --> 00:46:45,194 city agencies rolled it out 1424 00:46:45,194 --> 00:46:47,129 this year. I say us the mta 1425 00:46:47,129 --> 00:46:47,829 and parks. So they're still 1426 00:46:47,829 --> 00:46:48,563 kind of a focus on character 1427 00:46:48,563 --> 00:46:52,163 to some degree. I think that's 1428 00:46:52,334 --> 00:46:53,401 also just because of the 1429 00:46:53,401 --> 00:46:55,700 language understand. But yeah, 1430 00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:55,771 being able to really apply one 1431 00:46:55,771 --> 00:46:59,371 of the expenses that go into 1432 00:47:00,175 --> 00:47:02,344 filling a pothole yeah.
