If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
C
A
D
Me
report
for
the
mayor
until
he's
here
before
you
at
your
place.
They'll,
you
should
have
a
book
that
we'll
use
to
guide
you
through
the
next
couple
of
weeks
of
budget
meetings.
I
think
this
is
what
we
tried
to
do
a
couple
years
back
and
I.
Think
it's
a
little
smoother
I
guess
gives
you
a
chance
to
carry
that
over
now.
D
We
realize
you're
just
getting
these
numbers
today,
but
in
the
schedule
that
the
revised
schedule
I
put
at
your
place
earlier
shows
that
we
have
a
workshop
today
and
we
have
a
workshop,
the
following
Tuesday
for
the
same
topic.
So
so,
if
we
don't
get
into
the
detail
today
that
you
you
need,
we've
got
another
meeting
next
meeting,
also
for
the
same
topic.
What
we're
going
to
go
through
today
is
I'm
going
to
start
with
Revenue.
D
I
think
the
important
thing
is
to
to
look
look
in
your
book
at
that
Revenue
tab.
Look
at
our
budget
for
this
year.
Our
revised
budget
for
this
year
in
the
percentage
collected
so
far
today
to
date
and
each
of
those
periods
and
I
think
I
would
really
pay
attention
to
the
big
hitters
and
then
then
you'll
see
our
2023
forecasted
Revenue
that
we're
going
to
end
up
with
and
then
the
projected
2024
Revenue,
and
you
see
that
bottom
column,
that
kind
that
adds
up
to
72
million.
D
C
B
B
G
G
F
H
E
H
But
we're
working
pretty
I
think
within
the
next
two
or
three
months,
we'll
understand
where
our
Position
will
be
we'll
be
able
to
better
able
to
prediction
right
now.
I
think
Diane
has
been
very
conservative
and
it
won't
be,
you
know,
will
be
pleasantly
surprised.
Not
you
know
not
the
other
way
around.
So.
H
G
G
H
H
H
G
H
E
E
F
F
D
G
B
G
A
A
I
A
So
what
I
would
like
to
see
I
would
like,
because
this
is
something
especially
with
us,
seeing
the
shortages
that
we're
seeing
in
Manpower
and
public
works.
I
would
like
to
see
a
breakdown
of
contractual
Services,
because
this
is
something
if
we
don't
have
enough
in
there
to
get
some
of
these
projects
done.
I
think
that
that's
we
need
to
look
at
some
adjustments
there.
A
As
far
as
our
our
ditches
and
things
of
that
matter,
that
that
we
just
don't
have
enough
manpower
to
keep
up
with
right
now.
So
if
I
can
get
a
breakdown
of
the
the
contractual
Services
what
they
are
and
then
what
portion
of
that
is
actually
going
to
hiring
companies
outside
companies
to
do
some
of
these
jobs
that
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
right
now,.
G
I
A
Can
we
get
a
breakdown?
What
my
point
is:
I
just
want
to
see
what
we're
going
to
have
available
to
hire
these
companies
for
these
outside
jobs
that
we're
not
because
we
we
I
mean
it's.
It
I
know
it's
the
elephant
in
the
room,
but
we
have
a
problem
with
Manpower
and
public
works,
and
and
it's
it's
something
if
we
can't
get
the
Manpower,
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
address
this
I
believe
the
answer
is
through
is
is
through.
A
A
H
That
that
approach
and
we're
100
in
sync
with
you
but
we're
going
to
reach
out
not
just
bottom
of
the
top.
You
know
some
of
the
normal
services
that
we
provide,
but
some
very
specific,
ditch
you
know,
capacity
to
you
know
to
clean
these
things
and
perform
in
a
timely
way.
So,
while
I'm
making
some
inquiries
into
some,
you
know
non-traditional
service
companies.
They
could
provide
that
like
Contracting
companies,
okay,.
G
H
H
That's
just
the
balance
of
people
on
you
know
on
board
versus
overtime
with
people
who
want
to
work
so
I
mean
there's
a
a
delicate
kind
of
you
know.
Go
outside.
Do
I,
do
stress.
You
know
our
folks
a
little
bit
more
than
those
they'll
be
you
know
so
many
people
that
want
to
do
they
work
as
much.
You
know
if
you
make
money
shoveling
oysters,
you
want
to
shovel
as
many
oysters
as
you
can.
That's
good
and
so
I
think.
E
Yeah
we'll
go
to
Mr
Deming,
well,
I
I
think
it
was
2015,
it
might
have
been
your
first
term
or
if
or
your
first
year
or
your
first
term,
it
may
have
been
the
next
year,
but
we
talked
about
this
in
the
budget
sessions
and
and
I.
Think
after
that
first
year,
Mike
came
to
me
after
a
meeting
and
said
you
know
what
we
saved.
We
went
to
this
contractual
Services
Program.
E
We
saved
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
that
first
year
and
he
said,
look
we're
going
to
try
to
expand
that
and
go
to
do.
Do
more
and
apparently
we
have
and
I
think
what
we
want
to
see
is
a
capitalized
budget
that
shows
how
we're
going
to
grow
this
and
what
we're
able
to
grow.
This
too
I
know
we
have
some
restrictions
on
some
things
that
private
companies
can't
do
that
only
the
city
can
do.
H
D
H
Well,
it's
it's
been,
you
know
the
amount
of
resources
they
can
dedicate.
You
know
some
things
you
can
do
in
a
better
time
of
year,
based
on
other.
You
know
other
companies
being
able
to
have
some
excess
capacity
that
they
want
to
fill
with
service.
So
we
may
be
able
to
do
some
timing
of
what
we
got
to
do.
Ditch
cleaning
you
know
other
things
that
can
be
done.
You.
F
D
A
I
just
think
if
we
can
get
and
get
our
get
wrapped
around
this
issue.
This
is
the
main
thing
and
speaking
for
me
and
I'm
sure
that
the
rest
of
the
councilmen
will
agree
with
me.
This
is
the
main
issue
that
we
have
and
the
the
biggest
concern
that
we
have
from
our
constituents
is
this,
and
you
know
that
that
should
be
our
first
job
is
taking
care
of
our
constituents.
A
So
I
believe
that
that
whatever
we
have
to
do
this
budget
year,
we
need
to
get
it
right
if
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
time.
So
be
it,
but
we
need
to
get
it
right
to
where
we,
you
know,
make
sure
that
going
forward
we're
able
to
take
care
of
these
ditches
and
the
roads
and
stuff-
and
you
know
a
combination
of
our
guys
and
and
other
people
I
think,
is
the
answer
to
that
and
if
there's
nothing
else
on
this
I
think
that
George
probably
has
about
30
seconds
left.
So
on.
F
G
H
Think
you
know
the
offset
and
two
things
hurricane
season
as
well
as
water
quality.
That's
what
we
have
to
do
before
B
news.
We
had
to
do
that
and
they
cost
x
amount
of
dollars
and
that
cost
is
probably
expanded.
You
know
if
we
had
to
do
it
alone,
but
you
know
if
you
can
offset
it
with
some
some
advertisement
and
you
know
different
ways.
We
need
to
look
at
every
angle,
but
I,
you
know
nobody's
on
the
phone
24
hours
a
day
trying
to
sell
their
heads,
but
you
know
we.
F
A
D
A
G
A
People
yeah
per
stop.
You
had
these
people
that
go
out,
and
they
just
put
these
massive
mounds
of
trash
out
there
and
expect
them
to
come
and
fill
their
the
entire
truck
up
with
what
they
put
out
by
the
road
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
a
constant
reminder
that
that
eight
cubic
yards
per
pick
per
week
is
all
they're
going
to
get
picked
up
and
so
encourage
them
to
put
it
out
there
in
phases,
instead
of
all
at
one
time.

G
K
C
K
Speak
to
that
before
we
get
into
your
budget
absolutely
so,
as
you
know,
the
price
of
vehicles
has
drastically
gone
up
and
then
the
availability
of
vehicles
for
the
last
few
years
has
been
very
difficult.
We've
not
been
able
to
buy
vehicles
one
year
we
didn't
buy
any
vehicles
at
all,
so
that
that's
kind
of.
E
K
Us
in
a
position
now
we've
hired
some
new
people
and
here
very
soon
we're
not
going
to
have
enough
vehicles
to
for
officers
to
to
get
in,
and
the
fleet
that
we
have
is
aging.
We
usually
buy
10
or
12
a
year.
Maybe
15
we've
done
that
a
couple
of
years,
but
they're
aging
they're
costing
money
now
to
keep
them
running.
We've.

G
G
L
G
L
A
budget
just
in
case
we
got
the
grant,
but
those
weren't
filled
Yeah.
So
basically,
we
discussed
this
budget
year
three
to
five
year
plan
of
maintaining
current
minimum
Staffing
levels
and
bringing
our
our
shift
to
to
a
reasonable
level
where
we
can
reduce
some
of
the
overtime
and
then
in
the
following
years.
As
we
go
forward,
trying
to
add
four
to
six
positions,
you.

Delivered
it's
about
a
one-year
course
at
Gulf.
Coast
paramedic
is
a
two-year
program,
so,
of
course
they
can
utilize
the
tuition
reimbursement
to
pay
for
that,
but
the
paramedic
level
I
do
know,
depending
on
what's
required.
It's
roughly
about
another
3
200
to
5
000
that
there
has
to
pay
out
of
pocket.

G

G
B
K
G
B
K
G
L
L
G
K
And
and
that's
what
they
do,
why
couldn't
we
contract
with
one
of
them
just
another?
One
of
the
problems
that
we
ran
across
is
that
it
actually
states
in
the
ordinance
the
city
ordinance
that
it
has
to
be
a
a
psychologist
or
a
psychiatrist,
and
the
majority
of
these
these
organizations
now
confer
with
a
psychologist
or
a
psychiatrist,
but
nurse
practitioners
are
the
ones
that
are
doing
most
of
the
counseling.
