Description
The Committee reviewed Resolution 90.102.20R and Local Law K - 2020 As Amended. The Committee also conducted a full Council budget Caucus.

C
The
biggest
thing
that
we
have
to
do,
I
think,
is,
is
probably
not
entirely
necessary
that
it's
in
city
code
for
us
to
be
authorized
to
attach
to
the
property
tax
bills.
But
in
order
to
do
that,
we
have
to
change.
We
have
to
at
least
change
the
penalty
fee
structure
so
that
it
coincides
with
the
property
tax
penalty
fee
structure.
C
That's
because,
if
you
want
to
attach
to
the
bill
the
property
tax
bill,
they
they're
unable
to
separate
out
a
different
sort
of
penalty
structure
for
for
for
waste
collection,
fee
bills
or
something
else
and
the
penalty
for
for
the
current
penalty
for
waste
collection.
Fee
bills
is
50
per
unit.
I'll
also
note
that
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
people
bring
to
our
attention
this
office
when
they
are.
C
Doing
so,
would
allow
us
to
put
any
unpaid,
2020,
2019
and
2021,
and
going
forward
bills
on
to
people's
tax
bills,
for
them
to
be
paid
in
january,
it'll
postpone
any
late
fees
for
2020
and
people.
You
know
it's
particularly,
unfortunately,
right
now,
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
heard
from
from
landlords
in
your
districts
where
they
are
not
essentially
entitled
they
have.
C
Their
tenants
are
not
necessarily
paying
rent
due
to
state
regulation
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
able
to
take
any
measures
that
they
would
otherwise
do
like
like
eviction,
so
they
are
stuck
with
many
units
that
are
not
are
not
bringing
the
expected
revenue
for
them
and
having
this
at
least
the
least.
We
can
do,
of
course.
C
C
The
the
time
spent
in
this
in
in
our
office
dealing
with
both
preparation
of
the
bills,
which
will
be
which
will
be
reduced
as
well
as
inputting
the
payments
which
has
been
particularly
onerous
for
us
because
we're
simply
not
geared
in
this
office
to
to
to
efficiently
handle
you
know
18
000
payments
as
they
as
they
come
in
if
they
particularly
come
in
at
a
particular
certain
period
of
time.
I
will
say
it:
you
know
when
the
bills
went
out
in
late
july.
C
This
year
we
were
significantly
backed
up
in
payments
in
august,
because
we
we
cannot
put
in
more
than
about
200
a
day
per
person,
and
I
think
we
received
about
5000
payments.
In
the
month
of
august.
We
eventually
had
to
bring
in
extra
help,
and
we
kind
of
got
through
that
that
hump,
but
it's
still
taking
up
a
significant
chunk
of
of
time
in
our
office.
C
So
there's
significant
savings
to
this
in
the
city
for
my
office
and
it
will
make
things
administratively
much
easier
and
I
think
probably
it'll
be
nicer
to
get.
I
think
for
a
lot
of
our
constituents
to
just
get
this
over
in
one
fell
swoop
in
january,
and
not
have
to
think
about
it
after
that.
So
if
anybody
has
any
questions
or
if
there's
anything
else,
that's
unclear,
I
guess
I
would
add
one
thing
budgetarily.
C
It
should
not
be
a
significant.
It
may
end
up
being
somewhat
of
a
of
a
hit
to
revenue,
but
the
revenue
which
will
be
hit
is
in
late
fees.
That
is
not
really.
My
understanding
with
the
budget
office
is
not
really
built.
It's
not
really
accounted
for
the
budget
from
beginning
with
it's
kind
of
gravy.
On
our
budget,
not
not
expected
revenues,
there
will
be
some
hit
too.
C
I
think
late
fees
on
this,
but
but
I
think,
it'll
be
a
far
easier
thing
and
and
the
late
fees
I
think,
were
originally
conceived
over
the
penalty
for
for
landlords
and
two
to
four
unit
buildings
to
make
sure
that
they
were
paying
it
really,
I
don't
think
was
conceived
of
initially
as
as
as
kind
of
a
what
has
become
a
pretty
harsh
penalty.
I
think
for
single
family
homes,
homeowners.
A
D
D
D
C
Ultimately,
ultimately,
it
won't
have.
Ultimately,
it
won't
change
things.
We
did
not
put
the
2019
delinquent
bills
onto
the
tax
bills
because
of
a
whole
host
of
issues
and
and
people
were
still-
and
there
is
still
a
lot
of
confusion
about
this.
Quite
frankly-
and
you
know
we
still
have
about
3
000,
unpaid
property
or
waste
collection,
free
bills
from
2019
that
have
not
been
paid.
Yet
they
want
to
make
sure
we
provided
people
an
opportunity.
So
we
did.
C
We
did
two
separate
mailings,
two
separate
delinquent
2019
bill
mailings
and
that
still
has
not
generated.
You
know
more
than
I
guess
like
85
compliance,
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
longer
answer.
But
what
would
happen
is
we
would
if
the
bills
are
not
paid
through
the
tax
billing
year?
We
would
then
re-levy
next
year,
those
bills
as
an
actual
re-levy
tax.
C
The
way
we
do
for
dgs
charges,
delinquent
water
bills
and
and
demolition
charges,
and
that
will
go
on
the
2022
bills
so,
but,
but
for
the
purposes
of
this
it
doesn't
it
any
unpaid
waste
collection,
fee
bills
from
2019,
20
and
21
all
right
on
that
replacing
the
bills.
For
this
year
are
not
going
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
county
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
would
be
reimbursed
by
the
county
at
the
end
of
2022,
just
because
we're
not
putting
them
on
as
a
reloading
tax,
we're
putting
them
on
as
a
fee.
C
C
They
do,
I
don't
think
the
county,
I
don't
think
the
county
is
going
to
bark
at
it.
I
think
they,
you
know,
there's
been
issues
with
it
in
the
past,
but
I
think
this
actually
will,
I
think,
enhance
the
desire
of
the
county
to
pick
a
fight
over
the
waste
collection
fee
bills,
because
I
expect
you
know
if
we
go
through.
You
know
I
can
sit
here
right
now
and
say
we're
only
down
to
2
200
unpaid
tax
bills.
C
This
year
we
we're
generally
down
to
under
2
000
unpaid
tax
bills
per
year,
and
that
is
a
lower
amount.
I
think,
if
you
assume
that
each
one
of
those
2200
tax
bills
that
are
unpaid
right
now
would
have
a
waste
collection
fee
bill
attached
to
it.
That's
still
fewer
than
what
we
have
outstanding
right
now
for
2019..
So
I
think
that
this
actually
will
have
the
effect
of
driving
down
that
figure
for
the
county
to
reimburse
us
with.
C
Well,
I
am,
I
am,
we've
gone
done,
a
test
run,
and
so
I've
seen
the
bills
with
the
with
the
bills,
the
waste
collection
fee
bills
on
them
and
it's
generating
properly
say.
Having
said
that,
I
don't
think
I'm
very
confident
about
any
of
it
until
you
actually
see
it
in
practice,
and
what
I
have
experienced
here
is
that
there's
always
some.
C
C
I
would
you
know
I,
I
think
it
might
be
a
better
idea
to
put
that
in
there
in
case
something
changes
going
forward.
You
know,
but
if
nothing
changes
on
our
end
with
billing
over
the
next,
you
know
five
years
and
the
waste
collection
fee
is
still
in
there.
This
is
this
is
the
way
we
should
be
doing
it.
H
Have
sure
I
mean
adding,
if
feasible
or
something
similar
to
that,
I
I
think,
is
a
good
solution,
because
if
it
does
work
then
great
that
language
doesn't
cost
us
anything.
But
if,
for
whatever
reason
there
are
issues,
then
you
know
the
treasurer
is
often
bound
to
do
it.
That
way,
if
we
had
a
feasible
in
there.
G
H
Jr-
and
I
did
make
that
change-
I'm
not
sure
if
members
have
the
most
current
version
that
jr
and
I
worked
on,
but
we
did
add
language
which
now
says
provided,
however,
that
the
amendments
made
by
this
local
law
shall
not
affect
the
expiration
of
and
shall
expire
at
the
same
time
in
manner
as
provided
in
section
five
of
local
law
number
one
of
2016,
which
you
now
see
on
your
screen.
There.
G
H
H
I
G
B
J
Well,
yeah,
so
the
way
it
would
be
done
under
bill
drafting
rules
when
we're
doing
chapter
amendments
or
extending
those
types
of
things
in
the
legislature-
and
I
this
was
my
original
language.
So
I
didn't
pick
up
what
judy
had
said
when
I
suggested
this,
you
might
want
to
say
at
the
same
time
in
manner
is
provided
in
section
5
of
local
law,
one
of
2016
as
amended
by
local
law,
whatever
that
subsequent
local
law
we
adopted,
which
may
have
been
in
2018,
I'm
not
sure
when.
But
that's
easy
enough
to
find.
G
J
H
H
J
G
H
Yeah
and
the
other,
the
other
option,
I
suppose,
would
be
to
say
such
bill
may
be
included
with
the
property
tax
bill
sent
to
each
property
owner
in
january.
But
I
think
I
prefer
this
construction,
because
that
way,
it
encourages
that
it'll
be
done
this
way
and
it
hopefully
gives
constituents
some
at
least
some
degree
of
firmness
as
far
as
how
their
I.
H
F
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
comment.
I
do
think
this
is
a
good,
a
good
piece
of
legislation.
I
do
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
be
shifting
everything,
so
it
falls
without
a
tax
bill.
I
think
it
like,
I
think,
the
treasurer's
office
and
the
council
for
also
waiving
the
fee
for
this
for
2020
being
that
it's
been
such
a
difficult
year,
for
so
many
people
waving
at
the
fee
waving
the
late
fee.
F
At
least
in
2020,
if
you,
if
you
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
pay
your
bill
and
your
bill
was
due
last
week,
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
pay
it,
you
won't
get
an
additional
fifty
dollars
a
unit
and
if
you
own
it
a
hundred
dollars,
if
you're
on
the
three
unit,
there's
an
extra
150
so
add
the
quick
yeah.
So
pay
pay
it
before
december
31st.
If
you
could,
but
that
helps
a
little.
C
I
might
also
add
that
we're
we're
putting
together
a
letter
to
inform
all
the
homeowners
in
the
next
two
or
three
weeks.
I
think,
should
this
should
this
pass
to.
Let
them
know
this.
This
change
is
happening
because
it
will
have
an
effect
on
people's
escrow
accounts
and
that
we're
going
to
just
notify
them.
They
can
contact
the
rest
of
our
accounts.
It's
it's
for
single
family
homeowners.
It's
really
not
that
much
of
a
big
deal
and
most
of
our
escrow
accounts
are
for
single
families.
C
You
know
it
may
have
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
for
for
for
the
two
to
four
family
homes,
but
but
frankly,
the
the
banks,
the
escrow
accounts
and
and
the
property
owners
deal
with
this
all
the
time.
You
know
your
taxes
change
every
year
and
some
things
you
miss
a
water
bill
and
it
gets
puts
on
it,
gets
put
on
your
tax
bill
and
they
deal
with
them
and
we've
talked
with
them.
It
should
be
a
big
deal,
but
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
give
a.
C
We
send
a
letter,
have
some
sort
of
communication
and
we
can
provide
it
to
all
of
you
as
well
to
send
out
your
constituents.
Your
particular
constituents
to
just
notifying
the
changes
is
coming.
It's
going
to
be
actually
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
less
of
a
headache.
I
think,
even
though
the
bill
will
be,
you
know,
moved
up
by
you
know
from
where
it
has
been
set.
C
F
G
B
C
C
85
yeah,
I
think
from
2019,
which
is
the
first
year
that
it
went
to
single-family
homeowners,
we're
probably
about
85
compliant.
I
think
for
the
two
to
four
units.
They
got
more.
Those
owners
got
more
used
to
it
in
the
first
three
years
so
that
you
know
their
their
compliance
has
been.
You
know
pretty
good
for
the
most
part
you
go
through,
you
know
who
doesn't
pay
their
waste
collection
fee
bills
is
oftentimes
the
same
people,
don't
pay
their
tax
bills
and
don't
pay
their
their
water
bills
or
or
what
have
you.
C
The
new
addresses
that
caused
bills,
a
whole
host
of
bills
to
be
sent
out
to
current
property
owners,
but
at
their
previous
property's
address,
which
resulted
in
thousands
of
bills
being
sent
back
to
us
and
an
incredible
amount
of
time
on
our
part
to
to
go
through
and
find
out.
You
know
what
the
correct
address
is
and
remail
all
those
bills,
and
that
we
know
we
think
we
have
a
pretty
good,
updated
database
right
now,
so
that
those
people
were
not.
C
You
know
who
kind
of
fell
through
the
cracks
as
far
as
getting
their
bill
shouldn't
happen
as
much
anymore,
and
everyone
should
have
gotten
their
bills
for
the
most
part
that
should
have
gotten
their
bills.
But
I
you
know
it's
a
long
way
of
saying,
like
people
are,
are
not
entirely
used
to
it
and
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
necessarily
receive
their
their
waste
collection
fee
bill
due
to
administrative
problems
with
with
addresses
and
things
like
that
and
there's
every
year,
there's
constant
turnover
and
properties
too.
C
That
makes
it
a
little
bit
difficult,
and
the
thing
is
is
that
if
you
put
this
bill
onto
the
tax
bill
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
it's
something
that
more
automatically
is
going
to
to
to
be
caught
in
the
transfer
of
property
and
the
sale
of
a
property
during
the
course
of
the
year
we've
had
since
it
was
since
the
since
the
waste
collection
b
bill
was
a
new
charge.
The
last
couple
years
on
single
families,
a
lot
of
lawyers
and
a
lot
of
customers
missed
the
bill
in
their
closing.
C
So
we
have.
We
still
have
a
number
of
2019
properties,
2019
waste
collection,
fee
bills
that
are
still
stealing
if
you
put
on
the
the
people's
tax
bills
or
collectively
from
those
individual
properties,
but
they
haven't
been
because
that
was
never
cleared
up
in
the
closing
and
the
property
has
now
moved
on
to
a
new,
a
new
owner
and
the
addresses
are
still
screwed
up
and
so
there's
still
a
number
of
those.
C
J
J
My
question
had
been:
you
know
again,
relying
on
the
data
that
we
have
as
far
as
how
many
actual
units
are
in
these
buildings
and
whether
or
not
they
are
active
or
not
the
right
of
people
to
appeal
as
they
currently
do,
because
there
might
be
more
units
than
they
actually
have
it
that
that
that
right
continues.
The
question
is:
how
are
people
notified
by
of
that?
J
It's
not
something
that
is
that
something
that
would
go
out
with
the
tax
bill
so
that
they
know
you
know
how
much,
how
many
units
are
being
built
for
and
what
they
have
and
if
they
need
to
appeal
that
or
I'm
thinking
about
your
letters
that
are
going
out
could
go
which
are
going
out
in
advance.
Could
those
letters
indicate
how
many
units
of
that
the
city
has
on
record
and
what
the
potential
charge
is
and
then
also,
if
there's
something
could
I.
C
They
are
free
to
to
send
the
90
to
their
mortgage
company
and
to
do
it
that
way,
it
gets
a
little
complicated,
I'm
sure,
but
we
just
we
just
don't-
have
the
administrative
capacity
to
to
handle
it
separately.
We
do
have
the
administrative
capacity
for
you
know
to
say
if
you
know,
if
you
wanted
to
send
us
two
two
checks,
one
for
your
taxes,
one
for
your
waste
collection
fee
bill.
But
when
it
comes
to
the
escrow
accounts,
we
don't
really
have
the
capacity
to
do.
A
E
Thank
you
so
thank
you,
darius
for
for
everything,
and
it
sounds
like
a
good
initiative
to
make
sure
that
some
of
those
administrative
hurdles
are
no
longer
present,
with
making
sure
that
the
correct
taxes
go
to
an
individual
property.
So
I
have
a
question
related
to
your
intro.
You
mentioned,
potentially
this
decreasing
administrative
burden
in
your
office
for
1
to
1.5
ftes,
which
is
really
significant
and
definitely
something
to
be
proud
about.
C
That
that's
the
hope,
one
of
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
do
here
and
we
we
just
have
not
had
the
capacity
to
do-
is
to
is,
to
put
together
a
essentially
a
program
to
allow
people
to
pay
their
parking
tickets
with
community
service.
It's
it's.
It's
something!
That's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
kind
of
work
on
the
front
end
of
staff
to
kind
of
develop
that
program,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
use
some
of
the
time
with.
C
But
the
part
of
the
problem
is
that
we,
we
have
been
kind
of
had
our
head
down
our
heads
down.
So
much
doing
all
this
work
to
catch
up.
We
haven't
really
had
the
ability
to
try
and
figure
out
other
things
that
we
need
to
do
around
the
office.
I
think
globally,
having
the
erp
system
in
place
and
the
you
know,
I
call
them
updated
systems
so
they're
up
it's.
C
C
A
G
A
Get
a
second
for
that,
alfredo
all
in
favor
that
that's
unanimous,
that
passes
through
committee
with
a
positive
recommendation.
Thank
you
for
that
judy.
I've
been
so
used
to
our
budget
discussions
where
we
don't
have
to
actually
vote
on
anything
yet
so
now
we
should
talk
about
the
next
resolution,
which
we
will
again
have
to
vote.
C
C
Not
at
this
time,
but
we
definitely
have
had
a
need
for
for
frontline
staff
in
the
office
and
so
we're
basically
eliminating
that
position,
changing
it
to
administrative,
not
administrative
assistant
counselor,
to
reflect
essentially
our
needs
in
the
office
as
a
commensurate
reduction
in
salary,
which
is
helpful
at
this
time.
The
position
has
been
open
since
march,
and
and
basically
we
need.
We
need
frontline
help,
especially
with
what
we
expect
is
going
to
be
in
our
in
our
staff.
C
Collectively,
and
actually
has
not
not
as
much
as
I
had
thought
initially,
I
think
initially,
we
we
lost
a
lot
of
time
to
cobig,
but
simply
because
we
were
closed
and
the
work
that
we,
the
inflow
of
working
to
the
office,
was,
was
much
less
and
different
than
it
used
to
be.
That
being
said,
we
were
able
to
ramp
up
particular
parking
violations
to
get
them
to
a
place
where
they
could
do
a
lot
of
their
work
at
home,
which
was
very
helpful.
C
C
My
office
is
kind
of
falconized
in
some
respects,
in
that
we
have
our
cashier
staff,
who
deal
with
a
lot
of
input
in
the
date
daily
payments.
Our
accounts
receivable
staff,
which
is
in
my
office.
You
know
down
here
who
deal
with
the
taxes
and
deal
with
the
payments
as
well,
and
then
we
have
parking
violations
upstairs,
which
is
kind
of
its
own
separate
entity
and
there's
there
isn't
an
ability
really
for
us
to
do
a
lot
of
cross.
We
we've
done
some
cross
training,
but
it's
very
difficult
to.
C
If
you
pull
somebody
out
of
one
office
to
go
work
it
in
another
office
to
fill
a
gap
that
per
then
you
leave
a
gap
in
this
part
of
the
office
and
because
our
offices
are
are
separate,
not
integrated.
We
had
parking
violations
downstairs.
It
would
be
a
different
story,
but
we
also
have
have
audit
requirements
that
essentially
have
to
keep
things
separate
when
some
of
the
job
duties
separate
because
of
who's
handling,
money,
who's
approving
you
know
what
payments
or
what
what
parking
tickets
get
reduced.
C
Or
what
have
you
so
basically
right
now
we
have
we're.
We
expect
to
be
losing
some
staff
over
the
next
next
few
weeks.
Next
few
months,
there'll
be
some
maternity
leave
and
you
know
it's
all
front
line
staff
and
we
need
another
person
in
here
to
kind
of
enable
us
to
maybe
move
that
person
around
a
little
bit
and
to
help
out.
So
it
was
particularly.
C
You
know.
It
was
particularly
difficult
with
the
waste
collection
fees.
Hopefully
this
will
you
know
the
change
in
the
law
will
enable
us
to
be
a
little
more.
You
know
have
a
little
more
freedom
to
fill
gaps
where
we
can
so
a
long
answer
to
no,
it's
not
really
cobit,
but
but
our
need
right
now
is
on
frontline
staff,
because
that
will
enable
higher
upper
upper
management
to
essentially
free
them
up
to
do
more
non-day-to-day
work.
F
A
A
A
K
K
Like,
for
example,
the
raises
about
doing
a
study
to
look
at
what
other
municipalities
are
doing,
we
made
that
recommendation
during
the
budget
intent
memo
now.
Can
we
do
a
resolution
just
saying
that
you
know
on
behalf
of
the
council,
that
administration
really
take
a
serious
look
at
some
of
the
raises
and
looking
at
other
municipalities,
what
are
they
doing
and
making
some
comparisons
towards
other
state
employees,
but
just
just
thinking,
yeah.
A
I
I
mean
we
certainly
we
can.
We
can
do
resolutions
on
on
pretty
much
anything.
I
know
I
would
say
with
some
of
them
we
should
probably
check
in
with
the
administration.
I
know
that
they
were
in
the
process
of
doing
something
with
that
and
covet
kind
of
cope
with
blocked
that
up,
but
judy
also
had
her
hand
up
and
she
might
be
able
to
share
a
bit
more.
Oh
so
does
richard.
G
G
K
My
question
judy:
would
you
recommend
us
just
keep
it
into
the
20
20
21
budget
intent
or
to
do
a
separate
resolution?
For
that
specifically-
because
I
remember
you
know,
chief
orders
dorsey
place
was
actually
adamant.
I
was
adamant.
You
were
adamant
about
it.
There
are
other
council
members.
I
was
really
adamant
about
that
study
and
it
hasn't
been
accomplished
yet.
So
I
was
just
kind
of
curious.
G
I
think
it's
six
of
one
half
dozen
in
the
other.
Listen.
I
think
that
if
the
administration
actually
did
what
the
resolution
says-
which
is
you
are
supposed
to
now-
include
our
budget
intent
resolution
in
the
publication
of
the
adopted
budget,
and
that
is
something
that
is
done
in
other
municipalities
to
reflect
what
actions
we've
taken
and
what
essentially,
in
the
same
way
that
the
mayor's
budget
message
is
there.
J
Thanks
in
action
thinking
about
judy's
on
the
budget
intent
language
in
the
budget,
which
is
actually
something
I
put
started
that
way
back,
and
it
was
one
year
when
the
jennings
administration
after
a
lot
of
discussion
did
include
an
abbreviated
version
of
some
of
our
findings.
But
didn't
want
to
include
the
full
intent
memo
in
there
in
terms
of
reflecting
our
actions.
But
I
will
say
that
I
had
not
really
had
a
chance
to
look
at.
J
My
understanding
is
that
money
has
always
funded
the
the
professional,
the
independent
outside
professional
financial
audit
that
we
do,
which
I
believe
is
currently
in
process
which
is
handled
by
the
treasurer's
office,
so
that
money
is
always
supposed
to
be
to
support
that
audit,
which
might
make
sense.
It
belongs
in
the
in
the
treasurer's
office.
C
Yeah,
you
know
that
that
is
the
intent
of
the
money
in
the
budget,
but
that's
not
necessarily
the.
I
think
the
budget
is
not
limited
to
that
purpose
in
the
budget.
I
think
the
the
as
my
understanding
is
that,
because
the
bill
will
have
to
be
paid
soon
enough
is
that
the
money
will
be
running
from
other
sources
via
ena
for
this
year.
As
far
as
next
year's
budget,
you
know,
for
me
it's
six
and
one
half
dozen,
the
other.
C
I
don't
particularly
care
where
the
money
comes
from.
You
know
it's
it's.
It
seems
it
seems
to
make
sense
to
put
it
in
into
my
budget,
but
I
think
the
administration
thinks
that,
because
an
audit
may
be
more
appropriate
to
go
into
the
auditor's
budget,
I
don't
again.
I
don't
particularly
have
an
opinion
start
what's
what's
what's
what's
best
or
proper
as
far
as
as
far
as
actual
budgeting,
what
I
care
about
is
actually
having
the
money
available
to
pay
for
the
audit.
J
J
C
My
understanding
is
that
that
is
budgeted
for
next
year
for
that,
for
that
purpose,
for
for
the
independent
audit
that
that
is,
that
is
what
has
been
expressed
to
me.
I
think
this
year
was
a
different
circumstance
for
for
several
reasons
that
somebody
can
take
it
up
with
the
auditor
with
the
mayor,
yeah.
J
C
It's
a
service
that
will
be
provided
to
the
city.
It
is
a
necessary
service
for
the
city.
It
will
be
paid
for
by
the
city
the
expectations
we
paid
out
of
this
budget
line.
Regardless
of
whether
or
not
it's
the
owner's
office
or
my
office,
and
that's
not
the
case
next
year,
then
then
money
will
have
to
be
found,
someplace
else
in
the
budget,
from
savings
or
from
unused
budget
lines
to
pay
for
it.
Okay,.
J
So
maybe
you
know
if
we
may,
if
we
do
that
amendment,
maybe
what
we
should
do
in
the
intent
memo
is
make
very
clear
what
the
purpose
of
that
money
is
what
it
has
always
been
for
and
that
it
fund
the
independent
audit
that
we're
required
to
have,
which
is
approximately
what
that
level
of
funding
is
it's
around
80
or
so
thousand?
I
forget
what
it
is,
but
it's
in
that
that
range.
C
J
G
G
That's
a
budget
amendment
that
we
can
make
to
make
it
clear
that
it
is
for
the
independent
certified
audit
and
whatever
you
know,
title
that
is,
and
maybe
even
put
in
quran
the
section
title
and
also
mention
it
in
our
budget
intent
memo
the
question
I
I'm
still
not
100
sure
of
is
you're,
saying
that
that's
what
that
money
next
year
is.
It
is
in
the
budget
in
the
2021
budget,
for.
