Description
City of Chelsea, Discuss proposed Budget for FY2022
A
B
A
Have
six
members
five
here
and
judith
online
calvin's
on
the
way
and
we
have
the
following
matter
to
be
to
be
discussed.
The
proposed
budget
for
fy
2022
officials
invited
to
attend
tonight's
meeting
is
the
city
manager,
tom
ambrosino,
ed
dunn,
cheryl
watson,
patrice
montefusco,
almighty,
albeda,
leonard
albizi
and
all
members
of
the
public.
So
with
that,
I
I
know
that
we
have
this
in
front
of
our
packet
in
front
of
us.
A
D
You
have
before
you
the
fy
22
proposed
budget.
It's
a
much
more
positive
document
than
what
was
submitted
last
year.
Last
year's
re.
You
recall,
we
needed
almost
five
million
dollars
of
support
for
our
annual
budget.
The
budget
presented
before
you
has
a
much
more
modest
structural
deficit
of
just
under
900
000.
That's
pretty
much
in
line
with
every
budget
that
I've
submitted
and
that
my
predecessor
has
submitted.
We
always
supplement
supplemented
with
a
little
bit
of
free
cash,
and
so
this
budget
does
include
some
additional
salary
positions.
D
D
So
that's
the
budget
that
you
have
before
you
will
go
through
each
department's
proposal
and
answer
any
very
specific
questions
that
you
have
and
I'm
always
available
to
answer
any
questions
outside
of
these
proceedings
as
well.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
individual
budget
department
head
presentations
and
we
can
start
with
cheryl.
E
Hi
everyone,
I'm
trevor
watson,
fisher,
the
city
solicitor.
Just
to
give
you
a
quick
overview.
The
city
law
department
represents
all
of
you,
the
boards
and
commission
members,
the
employees,
we
pretty
much
defend
the
city
against
any
and
all
lawsuits
and
pursue
lawsuits
on
behalf
of
the
city.
We
also
represent
the
school
department
on
some
matters
they
do
have
outside
counsel,
as
as
just
like
the
city,
the
city's
law
department
is
also
the
municipal
hearing
office
public
records
liaison,
so
we
do
as
a
as
a
law
department.
E
So,
as
to
the
law
department,
I
believe
I'm
here
tonight
on
three
budgets,
so
I'm
first
going
to
go
forward
with
the
law
department
budget.
As
tom
just
stated,
we
throughout
the
past
year
have
been
down
one
full-time
assistant,
city
solicitor.
It
was
a
little
beneficial
since
school
just
began.
We
can
see
the
reasons
why
we
need
another
full-time
in-house
lawyer
to
perform
some
of
the
investigations
that
we
do
on
behalf
of
the
school
department.
E
E
E
Also,
one
of
the
prior
milestones
of
the
last
year
was
getting
through
the
covert
19
in
a
whole
slew
full
of
different
types
of
agreements
that
even
the
other
cities
and
solicitors
and
town
councils
called
me
up
and
said:
how'd
you
do
with
chiro,
so
we
got
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
just
meeting
our
fellow
town,
councils
and
city
solicitors
in
the
area.
We
were
meeting
every
two
weeks
now
monthly
just
to
discuss.
How
do
we
do
our
work?
E
E
E
E
E
F
E
Or
at
least
in
your
office
they
sit
in
my
office.
They
do
everything
that
an
assistant
city
solicitor
would
do,
but
they
help
balance
we're
very
lucky
this
year,
staff
on
treadway
who's,
my
assistant.
Now
we
both
deal
with
the
school
investigations
there
weren't
many
because
they
weren't
on
campus
to
the
students
this
year,
but
we've
had
a
couple
of
teacher
issues
and
so
forth
and
so
on.
I
am
involved
in
my
offices.
E
We
answer
questions
all
day,
long
from
the
administration,
it's
easier
to
pick
up
the
phone
to
call
us
than
to
pay
two
dollars.
You
know
whatever
an
hour
with
their
private
council.
Whenever
there's
a
union
issue,
private
council
will
represent
the
school
committee
and
I
would
represent
the
superintendent's
point
of
view.
A
Questions
say:
solicitor.
My
question
is
following:
we
have
gone
through
a
couple
of
subcommittee
meetings
and
executive
sessions
and
talked
about
trainings,
and
I
know
that
we're
not
only
doing
trainings
even
for
the
city
for
city
council,
but
there
is
probably
many
trainings
that
go
on
for
our
personnel
across
the
board.
A
E
E
D
There
are
two
places
in
this
budget
where
there's
significant
money
for
training.
One
is
in
the
human
resources
department
and
you'll
see
that
they've
their
typical
last
year.
Their
training
number
was
ten
thousand,
we've
been
increased
it
to
fifteen
thousand,
and
then
there
is
a
training
component
of
the
dei
offices
budget
that
you
approved
last
year.
D
We
you'll
see
there
aren't
line
items
in
that
budget,
but
you
previously
approved
a
budget
for
that
office
that
included
about
35
000
for
training
over
two
years,
so
that
exists
as
well,
so
both
of
those
offices,
human
resources
and
dei
have
good
chunks
of
training
in
it.
Now
over
time,
we
might
figure
out
where
the
training
money
is
better
appropriated
in
one
of
those,
as
opposed
in
both,
but
for
this
coming
year,
each
of
those
departments
will
have
a
chunk
of
money
for
training.
C
G
G
G
E
G
G
D
I
just
might
take
the
opportunity
to
point
out.
We
took
your
comments
last
year
to
heart
and
provided
this
comprehensive
one
document
for
you,
so
you
really
don't
need
anything
in
front
of
you
other
than
this
one
budget
document,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
fidel
meltes,
who
really
worked
hard
on
this,
along
with
kate
fox
lent,
the
new
business
manager
up
there.
They
together
really
did
eamon
yeoman's
work
in
putting
this
document
together,
and
so
it's
the
one
darkest.
G
This
is
a
line
that
is
level
funded
on
its
budget
for
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
it's
also
a
line
that
we
have
the
statutory
authority
to
go
into
deficit
on
as
authorized
by
the
dor.
So
next
week,
you'll
be
receiving
from
the
city
manager,
some
some
supplemental
funding,
requests
for
departments
that
will
be
in
deficit,
and
this
is
one
of
those
departments
that
is
in
deficit,
approximately
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
some
litigation
that
cheryl
and
her
group
has
gone
through
on
behalf
of
the
city.
G
E
So
when
you
say
liability
insurance,
we
do
have
insurance
and
so
insurance
covers
deductibles.
Sometimes
so
car
accidents
are
covered
by
insurance
slip
and
falls
are
covered
by
insurance.
If
it
goes
to
a
lawsuit
they
will
assign
of
attorney,
I
always
have
to
approve
or
disapprove
of,
the
attorney
and
there's
several
different
firms
that
they
use.
Depending
on
that,
the
allegations
against
the
city
so
excessive
force
claims.
E
G
K
So
50
000
for
claims
and
judgments
that
doesn't
seem
like
a
very
big
number
when
it
comes
to
claims
and
judgments.
You
know
one
good
whack
and
it's
gone
or
maybe
two
you
know
if
it's
just
those
lawyers
are
pretty
expensive
so
seriously
it
doesn't
seem
like
a
big
number.
So
is
it
are
the
claims
and
judgments
that
we
have
like
you
know
so.
E
E
It
just
depends
on
that
year
and
yeah
and
some
years
sometimes
it's
an
old
claim
or
a
let's
just
say
a
bill
went
unpaid
yeah.
We
know
we're
at
fault,
we
have
to
pay
it
and
and
and
so
sometimes
to
head
off
litigation.
Sometimes
you
want
to
settle
them
out
so
50
000
has
been
the
standard,
I
think,
maybe
once
in
the
past
17
years,
I've
seen
it
at
100
or
75.
But
you
know:
okay,
we're.
D
We've
been
pretty
good
in
most
years
that
I've
been
here
this
year.
We
do
have
a
deficit,
but
my
memory
is
generated
by
one
old
contractor's
claim
where
there
was
a
bill.
That
was
unpaid
and
we
settled,
and
it
was
a
big
chunk.
It
was
like
60
000
on
dollars
and
that,
I
think,
is
generating
the
deficit
for
fy21.
K
E
E
F
E
F
E
F
F
E
So
this
past
year,
licensing
has
been
trying
to
muddle
through
the
pandemic
and
make
sure
that
our
businesses
are
in
compliance
with
the
new
changes
every
month
of
reopening
or
closing
licensing.
Also,
you
know
we,
we
issue
a
lot
a
lot
of
licenses
and
permits
each
other
month.
There's
a
new
deadline
for
someone
to
renew.
E
She
did
very
well
with
making
sure
we
lowered
some
of
the
costs
that
council
requested
this
year
when
we
did
renewals
we're
out
there
just
making
sure
once
abcc
found
some
people
in
violations,
we
had
the
meetings
we
had
the
suspension
hearings,
so
licensing
was
extremely
busy.
This
year
we
constantly
sent
out
emails
to
update,
what's
going
on
what
is
expected
of
them
going
forward,
though,
in
reopening
licensing
in
the
city
manager's
office
and
the
community,
the
housing
and
development
office
have
started
outdoor
seating.
E
E
Now
we're
starting
to
open
up,
and
we
have
that
night
life
that
we
need
to
control
and
at
the
same
time
we
have
a
lot
of
businesses,
not
renewing,
not
coming
back
or
changing
names,
and
so
this
year
we're
going
to
try
to
be
more
consumer
affairs,
sit
down
and
meet
with
people
and
discuss
how
they
can
open
a
business
in
chelsea
or
what
the
rules
and
regulations
in
chelsea
are,
the
licensing
budget.
You
will
notice.
E
There
was
a
five
thousand
dollar
increase
because
we
have
this
online
permitting
that
we
share
with
parks
and
recreation
and
some
other
departments.
So
basically
our
city
grows
programming
does
public
records,
does
claims
does
all
the
licenses
most
of
them
are
now
online
in
english
and
spanish.
The
city
manager's
office
has
helped
us
with
that.
E
So
if
you
want
to
hold
a
parade
or
an
event,
you
go
to
one
site
and
it
prompts
you
to
get
the
other
licenses
that
you
may
need
in
chelsea,
so
that
software
per
year
we
negotiated
for
five
thousand
dollars,
and
we
put
that
in
the
licensing
department,
which
really
is
for
community
schools
and
recreation
and
law
too,
because
public
records
and
claims
are
also
online.
And
actually,
if
you
wanted
to
appeal
your
40-you
ticket
your
draft
ticket,
you
could
do
that
online.
Now
too,.
F
E
E
A
lot
of
our
businesses,
weren't
open,
initially
naomi,
would
tell
them.
You
can
do
delivery,
you
can
even
have
alcohol
delivered,
so
it
was
more
education
about
what
they
could
do
to
stay
open.
Now,
it's
more
about
enforcement
and
not
just
doing
whatever
you
want
to
do
just
because
you're,
open
yeah.
F
E
No
one
has
really.
We
have
a
taxi
issue.
We
want
to
work
out
in
the
licensing
department,
but
no
one
has
really
asked
us
to
lower
our
fees.
Our
fees
are
generally
on
the
low
side
right.
So
no
one
has
asked
us
that
yet
there
has
not
been
a
discussion
about
renewals
we're
trying
to
we're
starting
to
collect
funds
from
marijuana
companies
that
are,
we
have
two
licensed
marijuana
companies
operating
one
is
retail,
one
is
cultivation.
E
F
The
reason
why
I
asked
that
island
product
is
because
I
know
you
said
that
a
lot
of
places
was
closed
down
or
was
doing
very
small
business,
but
they
may
say
hey
by
the
way
I
didn't
make
the
that
money.
Last
year
I
know
I
got
to
pay
my
taxes.
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
help
them
and
that's
why
I
brought
that
question
up.
D
F
F
D
D
L
E
They
I
mean
they
were
only
six
years
into
this
year,
they're
they're,
to
even
understand
that
the
highest
fee
is
the
liquor,
license
right
right
and
most
of
our
licensees
who
served
alcohol
were
open
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
they
they
had
reasonable
lowered
fees.
At
that
time,
we
did
not
do
it
for
the
liquor
stores
and
the
convenient
one
convenience
stores
that
sell
alcohol,
but
we
did
for
the.
F
E
D
D
A
There
was
a
note
notice
there
that
the
the
salary
part
regular
salary,
36,
000
and
then
fy21
adopted,
was
57
and
now
proposed
a
63
000
jumping
nearly
6
thousand
dollars.
How
did
that
step
happen?
Is
that
part
of
the
bargaining,
or
can
you
explain
the
increase
of
six
thousand
dollars
a
significant
jump
there
so.
D
She
probably
let
me
just
and
then
you
can
so
naomi,
probably
probably
got
a
step
increase
in
the
midst
of
fy
21,
so
that
would
have
bumped
up
her
annual
salary
and
then
this
budget.
I
should
mention
this
as
well.
This
budget
reflects
all
of
the
all
of
the
collective
bargaining
salary
increases
for
fy22,
with
three
exceptions
that
I'll
talk
about
in
one
second,
most
of
the
bargaining
units
got
somewhere
between
2.75
and
3
increases,
and
those
are
all
reflected
in
here.
D
E
A
A
E
E
A
D
A
G
A
A
E
C
A
E
So
the
police
department
has
been
training
and
assigned
the
enforcement
of
our
alcohol
and
alcohol
licenses,
and
they
mainly
do
it
night
time
they
do
help
during
the
day.
Inspectional
services
does
some
of
it.
That's
who
we
call
if
we
need
to
make
sure
a
legal
yard,
sale
or
a
festival
is
going
on,
but
we
would
like.
M
C
E
Weekends,
it
could
be
any
inspector,
I
believe,
there's
a
rotation
but
there's
no
one
who
would
like
walk
in
and
say
you
should
have
an
entertainment
license
for
that
they
go
and
enforce.
If
we
have
a
call,
can
you
just
double
check
and
make
sure
this
isn't
happening,
so
they
do
try
to
help
out,
but
we
don't
really
have
that
one
person
who's
signed
to
licensing
enforcement.
J
E
E
E
J
E
G
E
E
J
E
E
E
A
E
So
the
short
answer
is
yes,
you
may
we
do
require,
there's
a
committee
of
staff
so
that
all
departments
look
at
these
applications
and
you
apply
online
they're
called
a
special
events.
Permit
we'd
like
45
days
notice,
because
there's
a
lot
of
departments
involved
when
you
hold
the
festival,
such
as
police
and
fire
and
inspectional
services
and
licensing.
E
A
And
such
that
it
may
be
a
time
to
have
an
actual
dedicated
enforcement
officer
of
some
sort
that
can
go
at
different
times
of
the
week
to
review
and
basically
investigate
not
only
claims
but
possible
establishments
that
open
up
without
acknowledgement.
For
example,
there
was
a
right
across
the
street.
We
had
a
restaurant
that
had
a
tv
and
no
one
knew
that
the
place
even
had
a
tv
for
over
a
year,
and
these
sort
of
things
have
slipped
by.
D
D
I
feel
that
we
have
adequate
resources,
particularly
with
our
police
department,
to
enforce
the
out
or
alcohol
license
issues
for
the
other.
You
know
I
I
would
concede
that
when
the
police
go
into
a
facility
they're,
not
particularly
looking
to
see,
if
there's
an
extra
tv
in
there,
that's
not
licensed
they're
more
focusing
on
the
alcohol
related
things.
So
could
we
have
some
additional
help
for
those
kind
of
smaller
violations?
D
D
I
I
would
say
that
one
place
where
we
might
use
additional
help
generally
and
where
perhaps
a
person
could
do
some
additional
licensing
support
as
part
of
that
job
is
in
isd,
I
mean
that's
one
that
is
one
department
where,
if
I'm
looking
at
adding
resources
in
fy
23
isd
is
probably
a
place,
I
would
look
and
it's
possible
a
person.
That's
added
there,
whether
it's
part-time
even
could
provide
some
additional
licensing
support.
E
Just
jump
in
so
I
think
what
you're
looking
for
is
like
someone,
an
engagement
person,
sort
of
like
what
sandoval
did
on
the
new
trash
stuff
is
to
go
and
explain
to
people
what
is
required
of
them.
There
are
some
businesses
that
I
know
naomi
really
if
she
had
the
time
could
get
out
and
look
at
all
the
laundromats
and
say
why
don't
you
have
entertainment
and
amusement
here?
You
don't
have
a
license,
so
those
are
things
that
we
do
want
to
do,
but
to
explain
to
them.
Why
and
what
the
process
is.
C
E
C
E
A
I
would
concur
that
I
think
that,
having
just
to
my
knowledge,
only
one
food
inspector
one
person
who
goes
to
the
weights
and
measures
the
gas
stations,
one
person
that
visits
the
nail
salons
and
barber
shops
and
such
and
I
believe
that
person
is
richie
zula.
I
think
that
would
be
just
one
person
to
do
all
of
those
checkups
in
a
year
may
not
be
enough,
so
possibly
a
part-time.
Just
to.
E
C
G
N
Good
evening
everybody
I'd
just
like
to
say
the
treasurer's
office.
We
have
seven
employees
right
now
in
the
treasures
office,
we
manage
the
finances
all
the
deposits
and
investments
of
the
city.
We
also
do
the
funding
of
all
the
payroll
and
vendor
warrants
make
sure
all
the
funds
are
in
place
when
reconciling
with
the
auditing
department.
N
N
One
of
the
big
accomplishments
we
did
this
year
was
the
renovation
of
our
office,
which
included
the
mail
room,
which
is
one
sole
central
support
office
for
all
mailing
and
distribution
of
anything
needed.
What
happens?
Is
we
now
take
every
everybody
can
come
directly
into
the
mail
room
and
get
whatever
they
need
and
they
don't
have
to
interact
with
us
and,
and
it
helps
it
helps
us,
do
our
job
more
efficiently.
N
And
the
other,
the
other
thing
is
we.
We
just
included
the
donations
for
the
veterans,
which
is
which
has
come
in
a
lot
for
one
quarter
like
fourteen
hundred
dollars
so
far.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
the
budget,
our
payroll
there's
no
changes
other
than
union
increases
and
step
increases
for
the
payroll,
the
expenses
with
the
renovation
of
the
mail
room.
We
have
included
the
mailing
and
stuffing
machine.
So
all
the
machines
are
all
centrally
located
in
one
one
department
so
that
increased
our
equipment,
maintenance
for
the
folding
and
stuffing
machine.
N
Yeah
for
filing
of
a
tax
taken
or
a
redemption
and
they
used
to
be
75
dollars
and
we
have
another
decrease,
which
was
banking
services.
Our
lock
box
services
are
free.
Now
we
have
communicated
with
a
bank
that
will
give
us
services
for
free,
so
that
decreased
our
banking
services
and
the
only
other
item
is
we.
We
combined
the
assistant
treasurer
and
the
assistant
collector
as
one
so.
Our
surety
bond
went
down
a
little
bit.
H
A
L
D
A
N
C
I
A
A
N
Right
now,
I've
been
putting
more
money
into
the
cds
they've
been
a
little
bit
better
than
the
money
market
accounts,
and
when,
when
I
see
the
the
market
changing,
I
I
take
it
back
and
put
it
into
the
money
market
account
we
go
out
to
six
months
to
a
year
on
some
cds
and
the
last
cd
we
got
like
for
six
months.
We
got
33
000.
If
you
put
it
into
a
money
market
right
now,
you're
only
getting
like
10
basis
points
on
it.
A
B
A
N
B
I
A
G
Is
responsible
for
oversight
compliance
accuracy
postings?
We
enforce
regulations,
statutes
laws.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
postings
to
the
general
ledger
are
accurate,
that
they're
coming
from
the
right
places
and
going
to
the
right
places.
We
ensure
grant
management,
as
required
by
the
funding
authorities
overall,
busy
very
busy
in
making
certain
that,
as
patrice
had
mentioned,
with
with
revenues
and
expenses
that
we
have
reconciliations
that
go
through
the
treasurer's
office
as
well.
G
You'll
notice
that
the
budget
has
decreased
in
the
salary,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
other
lines
as
well.
In
the
introductory
letter
that
the
city
manager
provided
on
the
budget,
he
mentioned
the
separation
of
the
payroll
unit
to
a
distinct,
separate
office
outside
of
auditing.
So
we
will
be
assuming
it's
approved,
we'll
be
moving
in
that
direction
to
separate
out
the
payroll
function
from
the
auditing
department
into
its
own
standalone
units
supervised
by
the
treasurer's
office.
So,
as
a
result,
you'll
see
a
drop
in
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
on
the
salary.
G
G
5500
is
dropping
out
of
the
equipment
maintenance
line
patrice
had
mentioned
in
her
her
talk
that
was
centrally
locating
some
of
the
machinery,
so
there
is
a
machine,
that's
associated
with
the
folding
and
stuffing
of
the
payroll
checks
and
payroll
advices
and
with
the
accounts
payable.
So
that's
moving
over
to
the
treasurer's
office,
because
they're
they're
the
ones
using
it
now,
as
we
have
a
centrally
located
mailroom
the
other
smaller
reductions.
The
forms
are
associated
with
payroll
w-2s.
So
since
those
are
going
into
the
payroll
unit,
the
expense
associated
with
that
will
go
as
well.
G
D
D
The
town
of
the
city
I
came
from.
Libya
payroll
was
in
the
treasury,
and
that's
where
it
is
in
the
majority
of
cities
and
part
of
the
problem
with
having
an
auditing
is.
It
is
tedious
time
consuming
and
given
that
ed
is
specifically
required
to
oversee
it
in
the
current
structure,
it
sucks
up
a
lot
of
my
auditor's
time.
D
That
really
is
better
spent
on
doing
auditing
and
financial
transactions
and
not
the
tedious
payroll
stuff
and
believe
me,
when
you
have
a
payroll
like
chelsea,
does
where
just
a
fire
department,
for
example,
someone's
getting
emt
money
they're
getting
out
of
grade
money
every
week
is
all
sorts
of
different
transactions,
and
you
know
to
be
precise
that
that
paycheck
is
accurate.
It's
so
time
consuming
that
it's
sucking
up
way
too
much
of
auditor's
attention
and
so
try.
My
determination
is.
D
I
can
solve
some
some
sort
of
the
time
issues
in
auditing
by
taking
that
task
out
of
auditing
leave
to
ed
the
more
much
more
important
financial
transaction
pieces.
He
has
not
that
payroll
isn't
important.
It's
critical
to
our
employees,
but
tediously.
Ensuring
that
someone's
paycheck
is
accurate
to
the
penny
is
not
where
I
want
ed's
time
spent,
and
so
I'm
going
to
take
that
out.
I'm
going
to
wendy,
who
is
a
who
I
feel
is,
is
at
this
point
competent
enough
to
run
a
payroll
unit
is
going
to
move
out.
She
will
have.
D
His
office
will
still
be
incredibly
busy
and
he'll
only
have
four
employees
as
opposed
to
five,
but
I
think
taking
that
out
and
with
his
four
with
four
employees
in
there
he'll
be
able
to
more
effectively
do
the
much
more
important
financial
transaction
work
that
I
think
his
we
need
his
office
to
be
focusing
on.
So
that's
the
rationale
for
the
policy
decision
to
separate
out
payroll
make
it
kind
of
an
independent
unit
within
treasury,
which
is
where,
in
the
majority
of
the
cities,
not
everyone,
but
the
majority,
it
tends
to
lie.
F
F
G
D
F
G
G
Payable
for
donna
will
be
accounts
payable,
plus
some
financial
transactions
that
will
add
to
the
job.
We
need
to
talk
to
the
union
about
this
as
well,
but
in
wendy's
situation,
the
ap
piece
of
her
job
duties
will
be
removed
and
she'll
focus
100
of
her
time
on
payroll.
Okay,
the
payroll
operation
has
has
grown
extensively
and
I
had
spoken
to
tom
about
adding
adding
assistance
in
my
office
or
separating
it
out
into
a
different
division
of
its
own
or
adding.
F
F
G
G
We
can
do
that
through
through
the
current
structure
that
we're
aiming
towards
the
department
head
or
the
payroll
person
within
the
department
has
that
will
have
that
capability
of
entering
the
the
amount
of
hours
and
other
pays.
We
would
not
want
to
have
the
employee,
the
actual
employee,
doing
that,
because
that
that
would,
in
my
view,
create
too
much
too
much
time.
G
May
that's
not
in
the
plan
for
the
current
structure
we
may
be
able
to
adapt
to
that
later
on.
But
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
have
a
payroll
person
and
a
backup
in
each
office.
Each
department
be
able
to
enter
the
payroll
data
and
then
my
group
or
wendy
now
in
the
new
division,
will
be
responsible
for
overseeing
and
editing
that
and
then
applying
the
payroll.
Okay.
F
G
C
A
A
G
So
we
had
to
do
that
in
a
couple
of
ways.
The
first
way
was
that
everybody,
whose
departments
had
no
change
at
all,
which
would
be
small
departments,
the
city
city
council's
office,
where
there's
virtually
no
change
from
week
to
week,
other
departments
that
are
small
and
have
no
changes
from
week
to
week.
We
allowed
them
to
just
not
submit
anything
at
all
and
just
tell
us
if
there
were
any
changes-
and
I
took
responsibility
for
that.
G
As
the
auditor-
the
larger
departments,
the
police
department,
the
fire
department,
dpw
e911
hhs,
with
those
variations
in
pays,
as
the
city
manager
had
said,
we
have
over
time.
We
have.
We
have
stipends
payments,
we
have
shift
differential
payments.
We
have
court
payments
that
there
are
multiple
payments
every
week
from
those
larger
departments.
We
had
those
departments
submit
to
us,
a
worksheet
that
outlined
all
of
those
individual
pays
by
person
and
by
dollar
amount,
and
those
pieces
of
information
is
what
our
payroll
people
entered.
G
So
we
went
from
from
paper-based
to
electronic
almost
exclusively
everyone
got
paid
on
a
scheduled
basis.
It
was
extremely
difficult.
There
were
lots
of
hours
that
were
put
in
by
all
of
my
staff,
I'm
proud
of
all
of
them
for
the
work
that
they
did
and
continued
to
do.
We're
coming
back
to
full
operations
in
june
when
that
goal
was
written.
That
goal
was
to
continue
some
sort
of
hybrid
model,
which
would
be
necessary
without
any
idea
of
when
code
would
end
and
when
we
would
return
to
full
operations.
G
So
the
idea
behind
a
hybrid
model
was
will
adapt
in
some
way.
So
so
what
we
ran
into
in
the
auditing
office
is
because
of
the
size
limitations
in
our
offices.
The
public
health
nurse
told
us
that
all
of
our
crew
could
not
work
together
in
the
same
offices
and
we
had
a
maximum
of
three
out
of
the
five
that
could
work
every
day
in
our
office.
G
So
we
had
a
rotating
schedule
where
people
would
come
in
on
some
days
and
not
come
in
on
others,
and
we
would
rotate
through
so
that
we'd
be
able
to
so.
Those
who
were
home
would
be
on
the
laptop
those
that
were
in
the
office
were
on
their
desktops,
and
so
that's
a
hybrid
model
that
we
had
referred
to,
and
we
thought
that
that
would
continue
into
fiscal
22..
It
does
not
look
like
that
will
be
the
case
any
longer.
G
D
There
are
going
to
still
be
probably
through
the
summer
some
unique
employee
circumstances,
where
some
people
for
a
little
bit
of
time
during
the
week
may
still
be
home.
We
do
have
some
employees
that
still
have
some
child
care
issues
that
switching
this
abruptly
a
is
creating
a
little
bit
of
a
problem,
so
we're
trying
to
be
sensitive
to
those
issues.
But
I
do
expect
the
overwhelming
majority
of
our
workforce
to
be
back
here.
On
june
1st,
and
probably
everyone
100
back
after
labor
day.
A
I
M
G
G
Working
the
hours
responsibilities
so
when
we
received
timesheets
from
departments
in
the
past
where
we
in
auditing
have
no
way
of
knowing
who's
in
and
who
isn't
in
all
of
our
individual
units,
that's
up
to
the
department
head
or
the
manager
to
be
able
to
attest
to
that.
If
someone
is
not
in
and
they've
exhausted,
all
of
their
paid
benefits,
then
they'd
go
into
an
unpaid
status.
C
G
A
I
A
Sort
of
system
that
they
have
in
place
themselves
or
is
that
again
talking
about
what
we
did
with
the
state?
I
mean
it
was
easy
to
figure
figure
out,
because
yours
workstation
was
your
check
in
point.
You
logged
on.
They
knew
exactly
when
you
stepped
in
and
then
you
had
to
log
off.
So
is
there
an
actual
logging
on
logging
off
going
on,
in
particular
when
we
were
going
into.
G
M
G
G
If
departments
are
complaining
to
me
that
that
different
types
of
financial
transactions
haven't
been
posted
on
a
regular
basis,
I'd
know
that
something
was
up,
so
I
have
a
way
of
measuring
whether
the
workflow
is
getting
done
aside
from
the
fact
that
the
person
sitting
right
next
to
me,
if
I'm
here
in
the
building,
but
if
I'm
remote
as
we
were
for
for
the
year
that
we
were
out
remote,
I
could
measure
easily
what
people
were
doing
and
what
what
needed
to
get
done.
Yeah.
D
D
F
B
F
F
Someone
sees
you
outside
and
they
say
geez
I
see
you
outside
every
day
you
you're
working,
so
your
indication
on
your
time
sheet
would
indicate
in
the
field
or
wherever
or
whatever
the
code
is
to
say.
You
can
see
me
at
seven
or
three
o'clock
because
I'm
working
out,
you
may
not
see
me
on
monday
and
friday,
because
I'm
in
the
office
and
that
codes
that
indicate.
D
That
we
don't
have
any
different
codes
for
that.
We
just
department
has
just
keep
track
of
people's
time.
So,
if
they're
working
from
home,
they
note
that
that's
a
work
day
for
them
and
it
really
is
up
to
the
department
head.
While
we
were
in
this
sort
of
hybrid
situation
to
ensure
that
people
that
were
working
from
home
were
actually
working.
D
F
F
F
What
roy
was
saying
if
we
have
access
to
a
computer,
you
can
just
put
your
time
and
you
don't
have
to
say
I'm
on
my
lunch
break.
You
put
it
in
the
morning
or
you
put
we
don't
we
do
it
once
a
week,
because
now
you
put
your
name
behind
us.
If
someone
sees
you
at
you
know
curly's
and
you're
supposed
to
be
in
the
office,
they
said
wait
a
minute.
He
was
the
curlies
for
four
hours.
Are
you
at
the
local
pool
so.
D
F
G
Again,
I
have
to
say
in
the
auditing
department
we
all
had
laptops
who
are
all
remote.
The
work
got
done
every
single
day.
Every
single
week
everyone
got
paychecks,
everyone
got
got
paid,
advices
the
bills
got
paid
for
the
city
on
a
regular
basis.
More
than
35
hours
were
put
in
per
week
by
all
of
my
group,
and
we
did
exceptionally
well
right.
F
F
D
I
will
also
say
that
you
know
this
was
a
unique
15
months.
We
are
not
going
to
be
in
a
position
going
forward
where
many
people
are
working
from
home
the
norm.
Is
you
work
in
city
hall?
You
don't
work
from
home.
Telecommuting
is
typically
in
this.
In
this
workforce,
a
rarity.
We
have
a
policy
for
it
and
we've
always
had
a
policy
for
it,
but
it
tends
to
be
for
unique
circumstances
for
short
periods
of
time
and
come
june
1.
That
will
be
the
new.
F
D
F
G
Just
not
starting
it
doesn't
mean
that
so
so
I
agree
with
you
counselor
that
that's
a
great
idea
and
tom
had
mentioned
that
it
happened
in
his
workplace
and
I
think
we're
the
same
so
so
we
we
will
get
there.
It's
just,
not
something
that
will
happen
in
fiscal
22..
We
just
need
to
decentralize
in
22
and
have
departments,
individual
payroll
staff
and
every
department
have
the
training
that
they
need
to
enter
the
data
so
that
the
auditing
group
goes
into
an
oversight
mode
rather
than
a
data
entry
mode.
J
G
J
G
Well,
there's
a
few
things:
yes,
we
have
the
the
independent
audit
firm
that
comes
in
and
provides
the
audit
once
a
year.
We
have
the
opeb
consultant.
That
does
the
analysis,
the
actuarial
report
every
two
years,
so
this
year
is
another
of
those
two
years
every
other
year
that
they
do.
We
have
consulting.
That
is
done.
We
have
reporting
that's
done
for
for
us
for
the
dor
required
reports
that
are
done
on
an
annual
basis,
so
that
piece
that
that
eighty
thousand
dollars
consists
of
of
multiple
things.
G
Two
things:
the
w-2s
are
a
specialty
form,
so
we
don't
get
those
through
our
supply
line,
so
the
w-2
form
that's
pre-printed
and
you'd
put
it
in
a
department
printer
and
that's
the
cells
would
get
filled
by
data
that
comes
out
of
our
program.
So
that's
a
specialty
form
that
is
ordered
for
that
and
1099
forms
as
well.
So
the
the
1475
coming
out
of
that
line
is
the
w-2
forms
that
you'll
see
in
the
next
conversation
we'll
have
about
the
payroll
unit.
You'll
see
the
forms
coming
into
that
department
at
170.
G
G
I
G
Does
our
opeb
reporting
every
other
year
so
there's
a
cost
associated
with
that
ten
thousand
dollars?
There's
another
piece
of
this
that
relates
to
required
reporting.
We
have
fixed
assets
that
we
report
on
on
an
annual
basis,
balance
sheet
reports
that
go
into
the
dor
schedule,
a
reporting
all
of
those
are
hugely
time
consuming
efforts,
and
it
is
in
our
best
interest
to
have
a
consultant
do
that,
rather
than
us
doing
it.
As
tom
had
mentioned,
we
were
very
busy
in
our
office.
G
D
A
A
A
A
A
O
O
C
A
H
O
B
O
O
Our
budget
this
year,
we've
titled
it
reopen
restore
rebuild
part
of
the
emphasis,
is
really
reopening
our
schools,
which
we've
done
and
now
we're
we're
going
to
be
working
on
restoring
because
we
know
a
lot
of
our
students
have
suffered
during
this
pandemic
and
so
a
lot
of
the
funding.
It
is
going
to
restoring
a
lot
of
mental
health
issues
and
really
meeting
the
needs
of
our
students
who
have
suffered
and
then
rebuilding,
because
we
are
receiving
student
opportunity
at
funds
and
sr2
dollars.
O
O
Our
vision
in
chelsea
public
schools
is,
we
are
a
gateway
school
system
that
welcomes
and
educates
all
students
and
our
theory
of
action
has
just
has
shifted
this
year
because
I'll
be
rolling
out
a
five-year
strategic
plan,
and
so
our
theory
of
action
is
based
on
this
five-year
strategic
plan.
So
if
we
improve
the
quality
of
teaching
and
learning
at
every
school,
provide
innovative
and
enriching
program
for
all
recruit
support
and
retain
diverse
teachers
and
leaders,
engage
families
as
our
partners
and
our
core
work
and
ensure
efficient
and
effective
operational
systems.
O
Then
we
will
deliver
the
high
quality
education
to
all
students
that
our
chelsea
students
deserve
and
will
improve
outcomes
and
access
across
the
system
for
all
students
and
every
student
will
graduate
from
high
school
on
a
path
to
college
and
career
success.
So
this
theory
of
action
and
these
five
bullets
here
are
actually
going
to
be
core
to
our
five-year
strategic
plan
and
you'll
see
these
over
and
over
again
for
five
years.
O
Our
strategy
again
is
bridge
to
success.
2.0
we've
been
functioning
under
bridge
to
success,
and
now
what
we've
done
with
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
our
new
strategic
plan
is
adding
the
2.0
piece
and
our
goal
is
to
ensure
that
our
students
graduate
digitally
literate
college
and
career,
ready
and
biliterate,
and
so
all
of
the
what
you'll
see
here
is
how
our
budget
aligns
to
these
core
goals.
O
O
M
M
The
first
thing
that
the
state
does
is
it
calculates
the
foundation
budget,
which
is
the
cost
for
all
children
in
chelsea,
regardless
of
where
they're
going
to
school.
What
does
it
cost
to
educate
them?
They
then
determine
looking
at
local
revenues.
What
amount
the
local
jurisdiction
can
contribute
toward
the
total
cost
for
all
students.
M
The
difference
is
what
the
state
contributes
and
they
call
it
chapter
70
funding,
so
that
at
that
point,
is
everything
for
all
kids
in
chelsea,
from
this
total
pool
the
monies
that
are
allocated
to
charter
schools,
because
some
of
our
our
children
do
choose
to
go
to
charter
schools.
Those
monies
are
taken
out
from
the
large
number
of
chapter
70,
and
so
the
chelsea
public
schools
works
with
the
residual.
That's
left
an
additional
figure.
M
That's
critically
important
is
what's
called
net
school
spending
and
each
year
it's
not
enough
to
budget
the
the
monies,
but
we
actually
have
to
show
that
we
spend
the
state's
minimum
amount
that's
allocated
toward
toward
children.
The
next
slide
is
just
sort
of
a
graphic
visual
of
this
in
process.
Where
the
circle
is
the
total
cost
for
all
students
in
chelsea,
then
we
have
the
foundation
budget,
so
the
state
share
in
blue
on
the
screen
where
the
city
share
is
now
in
white.
M
So
we
see
that
the
state
does
contribute
a
sizable
percentage
of
the
of
the
budget,
then
within
the
local
share.
There
is
the
amount
that's
required
to
oh
and
from
that
the
charter
is
taken
out
in
red,
so
we
that
wedge
of
the
pie
is
taken
and
allocated
to
the
charter.
Schools
directly,
then
within
the
local
section,
is
the
amount
that's
required
to
get
us
to
net
school
spending.
M
Then
there
are
items
that
the
city
funds
that
are
not
eligible
for
net
school
spending,
such
as
the
yellow
buses,
the
intergenerational
literacy
program,
but
as
a
community
chelsea
values.
Those
items,
then
there's
an
amount
that
that
you,
as
the
city
council,
allocate
on
top
of
that.
So
it's
just
a
visual
representation
of
the
process
for
funding.
M
Moving
on.
We
not
only
use
chapter
70
funding
and
the
local
funding
that
you
allocate.
We
also
actively
pursue
grants
every
year
competitive
grants,
and
then
we
also
have
title
entitlement
grants
based
on
our
population.
We
also
have
revolving
funds,
which
are
monies
that
we
generate.
Our
lunch
program
is
the
by
far
largest
one
of
those.
M
How
we've
allocated
that
in
the
in
the
current
year
is
on
the
next
table?
We're
a
people-heavy
business.
Education
involves
a
lot
of
human
beings
working
with
the
kids,
so
our
labor
and
our
health
insurance
is
by
far
the
largest
expenditure
category
every
year,
but
we
also
pay
special
education,
tuition,
transportation,
etc.
M
As
you
can
see
on
that
table,
the
next
tie
is
really
representation.
A
visual
representation
of
those
budget
categories
again
in
red,
where
the
people
part
of
the
business
is
such
a
large
section,
I.t
supplies
facilities
follow
next.
One
is
spend
a
second
talking
about
enrollment
trends.
Our
monies
are
allocated
by
numbers
of
students
that
are
in
attendance,
so
we
closely
track
enrollment
trends
year
over
year.
What
this
graphic
shows
is
that,
back
in
between
2003
and
2013,
there
was
a
dramatic
increase
in
student
population.
M
I
know
many
of
you
were
here
during
that
time.
Just
year
over
year
was
just
this
dramatic
growth
we
sort
of
leveled
out
after
that
time
period
with
a
small
decline
one
year,
but
then
this
october,
the
enrollment
numbers
declined
significantly.
This
happened
across
the
country
where
younger
age,
children,
the
families
were
not
enrolling
them
during
the
pandemic.
In
a
remote
learning
environment
and
we're
believing
it's
a
one-year
blip,
we
have
a
great
school
district.
M
We
know
that
people
are
moving
into
chelsea
and
are
staying,
but
we
have
to
contend
with
how
to
what
is
the
revenue
picture?
What
does
the
enrollment
picture?
Look
like
going
forward
so
on
the
next
table.
This
is
just
a
new
numeric.
What
the
past
few
years
have
been
on
october.
1St
is
the
date
that
we
do.
M
We
do
calculate
the
enrollment,
and
for
the
year
coming
up,
we
are
projecting
over
6200
students,
which
is
on
par,
so
the
one
year
blip.
We
do
expect
to
be
overcome
by
next
year,
moving
forward
to
the
revenue
forecast
for
the
current
year.
So
this
is
a
few
tables
in
one
little
slow.
So
the
first
part
of
this
table
shows
exactly
what
it
said
earlier.
The
chapter
70
versus
the
city
of
chelsea
allocation.
M
These
are
the
governor's
budget
numbers,
that's
what
we
are
required
by
the
charter
to
balance
to.
We
do
know
that
new
numbers
will
come
out
ultimately,
and
so
we'll
come
back
to
you
at
some
point
in
the
future
with
revisions.
But
this
is
the
governor's
numbers.
What's
important
here
is
that
chapter
70
went
up
by
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
one
year.
M
The
next
section
shows
how
the
charter
school
revenue
and
the
charter
school
tuition
come
into
play
where
we
do
get
a
relatively
modest
amount
of
revenue,
3.3
million
toward
charter
schools,
but
the
tuition
many
times
dwarfs
the
amount
of
that
revenue
and
then,
finally,
is
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
are
anticipating
for
the
chelsea
public
schools.
If
you
approve
this,
we
are
projecting
an
increase
of
about
7.1
million
in
the
budget
before
you
to
determine.
O
Thank
you.
So
as
we
look
to
reopen,
restore
and
rebuild
our
budget
priorities
are,
are
truly
to
strengthen
and
expand
for
equity
and
so
you'll
see
in
the
next
part
of
our
budget,
all
where
we're
adding
and
restoring,
and
it's
no
secret.
We
need
to
work
on
special
education.
We
need
to
work
on.
Our
ell
supports
our
curriculum
development,
our
social
emotional
supports
and
family
and
community
engagement.
Those
are
key
tenets
that
you'll
see
where
we've
specifically
added
to
these
areas
and
then
we've
restored
and
we're
adding
some
general
education
positions.
O
We
are
looking
to
accelerate
learning.
We
know
that
over
this
pandemic,
some
students
actually
thrived
in
remote
learning
and
others
did
not.
So
we
need
to
work
with
those
students
who
didn't
thrive
and
we
have
to
accelerate
their
learning
so
we're
looking
to
accelerate
literacy
and
math
learning
and
then
we're
also
looking
to
reduce
student-to-teacher
ratio,
and
when
we
talk
about
student-to-teacher
ratio
and
chelsea
public
schools,
obviously
we're
limited
by
space.
So
the
way
we
reduce
student-to-teacher
ratio
and
have
smaller
class
sizes
is
we
have
more
adults
in
a
classroom.
O
It
may
not
look
like
we're
eliminating
class
size,
though,
because
we
just
are
limited,
we're
so
limited
by
our
space,
and
so
that's
something
that
we
have
to
think
about
long
term.
If
we
continue
to
get
students,
but
we
did
have,
we
are
projected
to
have
not
a
client
increase
in
students,
but
going
back
to
normal
next
year,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
continue
with
that.
Another
other
priorities
are
to
expand
the
caminos
program.
O
We
expanded
it
in
a
pandemic
to
middle
grades,
we're
going
to
continue
to
expand
and
strengthen
caminos
we're
looking
for
a
lease
right
now.
We
need
to
expand
chelsea
opportunity
academy.
They
are
currently
living
at
chelsea,
high
school
and
we've
been
looking
for
a
place,
our
home
for
chelsea
opportunity,
academy
and
then
strengthen
overall
district
operations,
we're
preparing
for
the
relocation
of
coa
and
ilp
and
one
goal
of
ours,
and
that
we've
heard
over
and
over
is
we
need
to
retain
teachers
and
recruit
and
retain
teachers.
M
So
the
first
thing
we
do
every
year
is
we
look
at
the
cost
of
the
existing
operation
every
year
the
cost
goes
up,
bargaining
agreements,
step
increases,
etc.
So
the
first
table
shows
you
just
to
stay
where
we
are,
we
have.
We
are
projecting
about
a
3.5,
3.35
million
dollar
increase,
but
with
the
numbers
that
I
showed
before,
that
gives
us
still
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
be
creative.
So
moving
into
the
plans
for
the
different
schools
and
different
departments
at
the
early
learning
centers,
our
youngest
children.
M
What
it
has
one
now
to
really
be
able
to
give
a
lot
of
outreach
to
our
families
at
the
berkowitz
elementary
similar
themes,
student
and
family
support,
english
language
learning,
special
education,
accelerated
reading,
an
english
language
learning
teacher,
an
etl
education
team
leader
works
with
our
special
ed
students
and
will
provide
more
one-to-one
support
for
our
families
and
a
parent
liaison
that
would
increase
the
school.
Currently
has
a
half.
M
M
We
are
proposing
an
l
teacher,
an
additional
caminos
coach
who
will
focus
on
we'll,
be
working
out
of
the
kelly,
but
will
also
help
the
brown
middle
school,
which
is
where
our
communist
program
is
growing
into.
So
it'll
help
with
continuity
in
the
curriculum
and
really
making
that
a
robust
program,
educational
team
leader
and
a
half
a
parent
liaison
at
the
sokolowski
elementary.
M
An
additional
special
education
teacher.
The
same
additional
support
for
special
ed
processing,
parent
liaison
and
the
librarian
for
the
whole
school
is
technically
housed
at
the
sokolowski
and
we're
going
to
bring
that
position
to
full
time.
Once
again,
at
the
brown
middle
heavy
investment
in
our
middle
grades,
we
really
feel
it's
important
place
to
invest
for
teachers
for
caminos,
so
that
now
that
we
have
these
students
coming
up,
they
all
need
history,
science,
english
language,
arts
math.
M
So
we
create
a
whole
cadre
of
caminos
teachers
at
the
brown
middle
school,
a
coach
for
english
language
learning
and
additional
substitute
to
provide
stability.
If
we
have
absences
at
clark,
avenue
middle
school
l,
teacher,
special
ed
teacher
student
support
specialist,
who
will
help
with
students
that
are
struggling
to
remain
in
the
classroom,
we'll
have
somebody
dedicated
to
support
them.
M
M
Chelsea
opportunity
academy,
a
teacher
for
science,
technology
and
mathematics,
a
data
analyst
to
both
track,
how
the
students
are
doing
in
that
unique
format,
but
also
help
with
administrative
items
and
then
they're
combining
one
teacher,
two
halves
into
a
whole
in
our
special
education
program.
We
are
proposing
two
board
certified
behavioral
analysts.
These
are
professionals
who
work
largely
with
our
students
with
autism
to
put
structured
plans
in
place
to
help
them
grow
and
learn
and
enhance
their
responsiveness
to
behavioral
clues
to
speech-language
pathologists,
to
help
our
kids.
M
Those
are
all
general
fund
positions.
We
wanted
to
to
be
very
clear
that
we
have
this
new
sr2
funding
that
is
coming
to
the
district.
It's
one
time
only
funded
by
the
federal
government,
but
we
wanted
to
also
let
you
know
how
we
intend
to
use
that
it's
to
help
us
reopen
social
emotional,
supports
parent
and
student
engagement
and
to
address
learning
loss,
9.225
million
on
the
next
slide.
M
I
won't
go
into
all
the
details,
but
what
we'll
see
we're
working
on
a
grant
application
right
now
we're
really
putting
the
lion
share
of
the
money
directly
into
teachers
directly
into
paraprofessionals,
really
focused
on
reading
and
learning.
Our
first
graders
will
have
a
paraprofessional
for
every
first
grade
classroom.
Some
of
those
students
may
not
have
been
in
a
classroom
setting
if
they
didn't
go
to
preschool
and
kindergarten
was
all
remote.
M
They
may
literally
be
coming
to
first
grade
with
not
a
lot
of
experience
sitting
at
a
desk,
so
we're
going
to
give
additional
support
to
our
first
grade
teachers,
social
workers,
counselors
nurses
and
nurses,
aides.
I
know
I
don't
even
need
to
explain
why
we're
we're
adding
those
we're
also
adding
speech,
therapists
and
interpreter
translators
for
special
education,
so
that
our
parent
liaisons
are
not
pulled
into
interpreting
for
iep
meetings.
They
can
really
focus
on
the
outreach
and
then
we'll
have
the
interpreters
available
to
support
the
families
through
the
iep
process.
M
F
O
H

M

Increase:
okay,
madame
superintendent,
I
was
listening
to
you
when
you're
talking
about
your
theory
of
action,
but
I
didn't
hear
you
talk
about
any
of
your
safety
or
healthy
safety
or
health
programs
in
that
five
year,
and
that's
that
five
year
forecast.
I
guess
she
said
you
were
looking
forward
to
one
of
your
goals
and
if
you
could
just
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
the
safety
of
the
schools
and
the
healthiness
of
the
schools
moving
forward.
O
O
That's
the
health
sure,
so
what
you'll
see
here
as
far
as
feeling
safe,
we're
adding
social
workers,
we're
adding
school
counselors
that
will
take
care
of
our
tier
one
implementation
of
just
really
meeting
the
needs
of
our
students
at
tier
one
and
tier
two.
So
when
our
students
come
to
school,
if
they're,
not
if
they're
feeling
bullied,
if
they're
not
feeling
safe,
they
can
go
to
a
school
counselor
or
a
social
worker
in
terms
of
feeling
safe.
O
We
are
also
working
with
our
high
school
to
add
some
other
measures
that
are
currently
under
negotiation,
and
that
is
also
embedded.
But
I
I
can't
speak
to
that
exactly,
but
we
are
we're
working
through
that,
especially
at
the
high
school.
As
far
as
keeping
making
sure
that
our
schools
are
safe
from
covid,
we
have
cova
testing
in
our
schools.
F
O
F
My
last
question
it
was,
it
was
resourcing
facilities.
I
know
you
talked
about
that.
You
don't
have
a
lot
of
space
and
stuff,
but
have
you
again
looking
at
your
theory
of
action,
five
years
or
two
years,
three
years
down
the
road?
Are
you
looking
to
work
with
the
city,
maybe
off-site
location
facilities?
Where
you
know
you
can
do
some
studying
and
mentoring
the
boys
and
girls
club
or
different
programs
buildings.
We
have
already
existing.
O
So
one
of
the
core
tenets
of
the
strategic
plan
that
I'll
be
rolling
out
is
out
of
school
time
and
so
that
out
of
school
time,
our
extended
learning
is
where
we'll
be
partnering
with
our
community
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
students
after
school
and
before
school.
So
that's
kind
of
like
the
third,
a
third
tier
of
so.
O
F
O
We
are
one
one
of
the
things
that
I
heard
in
my
entry
planning,
which
was
over
a
year
ago,
was
that
this
was
a
gap
and
something
that
we
needed
to
work
on
and
as
it's
a
core,
it's
my
it's,
my
third
tenant
for
this
new
strategic
plan.
We've
actually
are
working
with
our
city
manager
here
with
the
children's
cabinet,
and
we
have
put
together
our
partners
and
one
boston
college
has
done
a
needs
assessment,
and
this
came
out
in
the
needs
assessment
as
well,
and
so
we
are
putting
together.
O
F
F
F
O
Yeah,
no,
that's
why
someone
sees
it
yeah,
someone
sees
it.
Our
educators
are
trying
to
address
it.
So,
whether
it's
a
teacher,
a
social
worker
could
be
an
art
teacher,
could
be
a
music
teacher.
It
could
be
the
regular
teacher.
But
if,
if
there's
someone
that
the
student's
connecting
with
often
times
the
students
will
go
to
the
educator
and
say
I'm
I'm
experiencing
this
or
someone,
they
trust.
M
O
Those
teach
the
teacher
or
the
educator
could
go
directly
to
a
social
worker
or
a
school
counselor
or
the
principal
and
and
say
you
know
this
ex-student
raised
this
issue.
We
need
to
address
it,
and
then
we
right
away
provide
the
services
to
that
student
and
connect
the
student
to
the
services.
Okay,.
A
President
in
relation
to
the
the
spending
of
the
ninth,
I
think
it's
9.2
million
dollars
all
right
and
it
is
the
deadline
you
stated
right.
There
is
a
deadline,
is
any
of
that
any
of
the
ideas
being
pitched
about
modernizing,
say
the
the
infrastructure
of
the
school
themselves,
whether
it
be
the
hvac
systems
to
more
custodians?
And
such
I
didn't
see
that
in
the
in
there.
A
But
I
thought
that
I
had
talked
to
a
local
plumber
and
he
tells
me
he's
very
busy
right
now
very
busy
because
he's
getting
hired
by
the
universities
and
colleges,
because
they're
changing
all
their
water,
fountains
and
all
that
stuff.
So
I'm
curious
to
know
if
any
of
the,
if
this
is
on
the
table-
because
I
didn't
see
it
in
the
list,
so
is
that
on
the
table.
M
Well,
I'm
really
proud
to
say
that
we
have
installed
in
every
classroom
and
office
air
cleaning
equipment.
These
are
office,
size
or
classroom
sized
equipment
that
has
three
levels
of
protection.
We
have
also
switched
out
all
of
our
drinking
fountains
already
using
grant
funds
that
we've
secured
this
year
so
that
they
all
have
bottle
fillers.
All
of
our
actual,
you
know
classic
drinky.
Fountain
is
closed
now,
it'll
open
up
eventually,
but
we
even
bought
bottles
for
all
the
students.
M
We
just
recently
replaced
the
williams
entire
h,
rooftop
hvac
system,
which
was
scheduled
before
the
pandemic.
Hit
just
happened
to
be
very
timely
for
our
other
schools.
Your
capital
plan,
which
you
just
considered,
had
monies
for
the
early
learning
center.
It's
about
half
of
what
we
estimate
to
be
the
full
cost.
Our
design
is
underway.
M
Right
now
we
are
working
on
a
design
for
the
mary
c
burke
system,
as
well,
really
because
of
the
age
of
the
buildings
we're
at
25
years-
and
I
know
it
came
before
to
say
you
know,
a
lot
of
our
systems
are
aging
all
at
the
same
time,
so
it
just
happened
to
be
timely
with
the
kova.
These
are
projects
that
we
would
be
working
on
the
design
right
now,
we're
just
really
trying
to
fast
forward
them
so
that
when
grant
funds
are
available,
we
can
say
hey.
A
And
what
about
the
the
side
of
the
the
maintenance
and
cleaning
our
our
custodians,
or
is
there
an
increase
in
staff
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
getting
wiped
down
the
same
amount
of
time
that
we
did
before,
because
it's
probably
you
know
more
work
than
it
was?
Is
that
in
the
process
are
there
are
the?
Are
we
forever
going
to
see?
You
know
the
the
dispenser
of
sanitizer
out
of
doors,
just
like?
M
M
We
have
purchased
water
washing
stations
for
in
order
to
because
there's
limitations
on
how
many
students
can
go
in
the
bathroom.
So
there
are
water
stations
in
almost
every
hallway
right
now.
In
addition,
we've
hired
temp
cleaners
for
from
now
to
the
end
of
this
school
year,
who
are
going
around
washing
all
high
touch
surfaces,
door,
knobs,
push
bars,
stairwells,
they're,
washing
the
floor,
they're
wonderful!
A
I
didn't
see
it
so
I'm
asking
what
what
is
if
any
funding
is
going
to
be
used
to
close,
that
digital
divide
that
we
kept
on
hearing
about
in
our
community.
That
would
be
permanent
and
you
know,
because
we
can't
go
into
the
home
so
much.
But
what
are
we
doing
at
least
when
they
step
into
the
classroom?
They
step
into
the
buildings
they're,
not
in
any
lesser
position
than
say
any
other
community
around
us.
O
I
you
know,
I
appreciate
that
question,
because
that
is
something
that
is
heavily
on
my
mind
as
well,
so
we
went
immediately
one
to
one,
and
that
was
great.
So
what
we
learned
is
that
many
of
our
students
did
not
have
internet
service.
It
was
the
first
time
that
they
had
hot
spots
in
their
in
their
where
they
live
and
they
could
actually
access
the
internet.
O
So
one
thing
we're
trying
to
do
is
we
realized
that
the
chromebooks
kind
of
took
a
beating
as
well
physically,
so
we're
restoring
chromebooks
and
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
say
that
students
will
have
a
chromebook
to
work
and
do
homework
at
home,
because
that
really
is
about
equity.
It's
about
closing,
closing
opportunity,
gaps
for
our
students,
and
so
recognizing
that
we
are
still
continuing
to
invest
in
our
technology
for
students
so
that
they
can
continue
to
have
chromebooks
that
go
home.
A
Tom
years
ago,
your
predecessor,
so
we
end
this
discussion
and
you
see
it
in
some
downtown
business
districts,
and
that
is
that
they
find
a
way
to
do
a
funding
for
free
wi-fi
in
downtown
districts.
I'm
just
saying
at
what
point
do
we
not
think
that
maybe
using
our
schools,
but
in
white
enough
branch
beyond
the
you
know
as
hot
spots,
so
to
speak?
A
Don't
we
think
about,
or
is
it
possible
to
even
think
that
we
could
have
free
wi-fi
across
the
community
if
we're
wrapping
our?
You
know
our
polls
with
you
know,
with
cameras
and
all
over
the
spots.
At
one
point:
don't
we
think
that,
given
that
we
can't
depend
on
the
free
market,
because
I
see
our
neighbor
take
the
task
comcast
and
we
know
that
our
speeds
here
are
terrible.
They
were
the
lowest
in
the
area.
D
So
we
have
been
spending
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
this
issue
over
the
course
of
the
last
year,
this
digital
equity
issue
and
this
idea
of
some
sort
of
public
wi-fi
system-
it's
very
technologically
challenging.
But
we
are
exploring
some
avenues
that
we
think
could
be
very
fruitful,
and
these
discussions
are
sort
of
right
in
the
midst
of
what
we're
doing
right
now.
So
we
may
have
more
to
disclose
to
the
city
council
with
some
investment
ideas
for
you.
D
Obviously,
one
key
bucket
for
spending
oppa
funds
is
for
broadband
and
so
we're
just
waiting
to
see
if
we
can
develop
something,
that's
feasible
and
if
it
is-
and
I
know
our
ramone
and
is
working
with
me
and
the
school
department
on
this
issue
very
diligently-
and
we
hope
that
maybe
in
six
months
we
could
have
a
proposal
to
the
council
for
something
some
investment
that
could
do
exactly
what
you're
proposing
to
do.
But
it's
a
little
early.
We,
I
don't
want
to
promise
something
because
we're
not
quite
sure
technologically
we
can
deliver.
A
Opportunities
for
children
to
go
beyond
school
after
school
programs,
expansion
of
child
care.
Is
there
a
point
where
the
school
itself
may
consider
beyond
what
is
limited
by
the
capacity
of
say
the
boys
and
girls
club?
Do
we
think
that
at
some
point
the
city
itself
runs
its
own
summer
program
using
our
own
facilities?
A
As
you
know
again,
it's
more
to
think
that
we
have
these
buildings
there's
a
capacity
issue
at
the
boys
and
girls
club.
I
hear
from
parents
all
the
time,
there's
only
so
many
kids
that
go
in
the
program.
There's
too
many
no's
the
idea
of
again
you've
heard
it
from
this
council
many
times
about
building
another
youth
center
and
so
forth.
But
at
what
point?
A
Don't
we
think
about
using
this
funding,
possibly
for
some
sort
of
continuation
of
expanding
child
care,
expanding
after
school
programming
and
during
and
running
through
all
the
way
through
the
summer
and
I'll
add
on
to
one
more
thing
there
is.
We
know
I
don't
know
what
the
capacity
issues
with
the
school,
but
we
do
have
a
school
right
now.
A
That
is
closed,
saint
rose,
and
one
idea
is
wondering
at
what
point
is
that
a
possible
site
to
at
some
point
approach
that
entity
and
say
that
it's
a
central
location,
it's
a
building,
that's
already
a
school,
it
could
possibly
give
employees
a
city
hall
parking.
So
many
other
things
that
could
happen,
but
is
that
a
possibility?
Are
we
at
that
capacity
or
it's
not
even
worth
thinking
at
this
point.
O
Well
I'll
go
first,
and
then
you
can.
We
can
tag
you
again.
We
are
offering
with
a
lot
of
the
sr2
funds,
we're
offering
a
lot
of
acceleration
for
our
students
in
the
in
the
summer
time,
so
we
will
have
full
buildings
with
various
programs
going
on.
We
have
our
calculus
project.
We
have
a
regular
esy,
which
is
for
special
education.
O
We
have
our
regular
acceleration
learning
for
our
students.
We
are
targeting
our
early
grades
for
literacy,
so
students
who
are
falling
behind
we
want
to
catch
them
at
the
high
school,
we're
doing
credit
recovery
and
summer
school
will
have
summer
school
opportunities
at
the
high
school
level
as
well.
So
our
schools
will
be
busy
as
far
as
looking
at
how
do
we
expand
learning
in
our
buildings
after
hours
again
in
the
summer
time?
I
think
that's
something
that
we
we
really
need
to
think
about.
O
How
are
we
meeting
the
needs
of
our
families
in
the
summer?
I,
as
a
parent,
always
struggled
with
child
care
summer,
would
roll
around
and
I'd
say:
oh
gosh.
What
am
I
going
to
do
with
my
child's
I'm
working,
and
so
that
was
always
a
challenge,
so
it's
something
that
we
need
to
think
about
right
now.
O
I
we
are
open
to
that.
I
know
b
has
a
wealth
of
programming
right
now
with
community
schools
and
so
many
options
that
she
has
for
a
summer
program.
There's
a
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
her
website,
there's
a
whole
slew
of
opportunities
for
families
to
engage,
but
if
we're
looking
at
like
meeting
child
care
needs
and
things
like
that,
we
we
definitely
could
definitely
can
do
a
better
job
and
we
need
to
work
together.
D
Yeah,
I
would
just
add
we
do
partner
with
one
out
of
school
time
vendor,
which
is
for
kids
only
and
they
operate
a
robust
summer
camp
out
of
the
elementary
complex
five
days
a
week
for
the
whole
summer,
and
so
there
are
many
chelsea
kids
who
do
take
advantage
of
that
program
and
has
subsidized
slots,
and
I
know
she
has
been
expanding
and
looking
to
expand
the
summer.
So
there
is,
there
is
an
option
within
the
school
for
pretty
robust
summer
programs.
D
M
This
summer,
traditionally,
our
summer
school
is
8
15
until
12
30,
but
this
summer
fko
is
going
to
wrap
around
our
program
and
offer
7
30
to
5
30.,
so
they'll
greet
the
kids
have
breakfast,
our
instructors
will
come
in
and
then
they
will
be
able
to
do
more
fun
programming
for
the
afternoon
until
the
families
come
and
pick
them
up.
So
this
is
our
first
time
doing
that,
based
on
the
fund
to
help
close
the.
C
L
Sounds
good
and
actually,
before
the
pandemic,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
bring
the
latimer
society
into
the
school
and
work
with
the
science
teachers
and
we
worked
with
22
classes
and
622
kids
and
we
got
a
lot
out
of
it
and
the
kids
got
a
lot
out
of
it
and
we're
open
and
willing
to
come
back
at
any
point.
In.
C
A
M
J
M
M
Our
biggest
constraint,
as
the
superintendent
said
earlier,
is
the
number
of
classrooms
that
we
have.
What
we
do
to
make
smaller
class
sizes
is
we
provide
more
adults,
so
the
students
can
have
small
breakouts.
They
can
work
more
one-to-one
or
two-to-one
with
the
with
the
teachers.
So
that's
how
those
teachers
are
going
to
help
us
be
able
to
have
more
smaller
breakouts.
What.
J
O
We
do,
we
may
have
one
a
couple
of
classes
that
are
at
30..
For
example,
band
is
going
to
be
at
30.,
kantari
will
be
at
30,
so
some
of
our
high
school
classes
will
be
a
little
larger
because
there
may
be
elective
classes.
We
average
around
about
25,
so
it
it.
But
again,
as
miss
lamboy
was
saying.
Our
class
sizes,
even
though
we
may
have
we
have
25
is
can
be
seem
large.
J
Is
there
anything
that
you
can
make
if
you,
if,
once
you've,
got
these
16
additional
teachers?
Could
you
use
them
to
make
smaller
classes
like
25
is
30,
but
it
could
be
more,
but
I'm
not
gonna
say
what
it
is
or
what
it's
not
right,
but
I'm
saying
with
additional
teachers,
maybe
you
can
shrink
the
class
to
maybe
15
20
kids
to
a
class
and
like
20
kids,
there's
a
lot
of
kids
to
handle
in
one
class.
J
I
I
know
when
you
got
20
young
kids
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
for
one
teacher
is
like
stressful
and
I
don't
know
how
much
they
can
teach
when
that
they're
stressful.
So
I
was
wondering
if
you
do
get
these
16
teachers.
Is
there
any
in
your
future,
maybe
to
shrink
these
classes
and
make
smaller
classes.
O
I
think
their
whole
plan
with
what
this
is
to
shrink
it's
adult
to
student
ratio,
so
miss
lamboy
spoke
about
paraprofessionals,
we're
going
to
have
pair,
adding
paraprofessionals
to
every
first
grade
classroom
and
the
reason
for
that
is.
We
know
that
students
are
learning
to
read
in
kindergarten
and
first
grade.
So
though,
an
extra
person
in
those
classrooms,
they
can
take
kids
and
do
smaller
group
work
with
them
smaller
reading
groups.
O
So
when
you
walk
into
a
classroom,
you
can
you,
you
will
see
maybe
three
adults
in
a
classroom
working
with
if
the
classes,
20,
kids,
21,
kids,
seven
kids
in
a
group
with
one
adult
working
and-
and
you
think
the
kids
are
getting-
that
small
group
instruction.
That's
how
we
reduce
class
size
in
chelsea.
J
A
A
A
L
C
P
L
P
I'm
chief
albanese
I've
been
the
chief
of
department
for
the
past
five
years.
The
chelsea
fire
department
primarily
responds
to
fires
in
emergency
medical
incidents
within
the
city
and
our
mutual
aid
communities.
However,
the
modern
fire
service
demands
that
we
take
an
all
hazards
approach
to
providing
for
the
safety
of
the
public.
P
This
means
we
also
respond
to
and
mitigate
hazardous
materials
incidents
and
have
specialized
training
and
respond
to
emergencies
in
the
technical
rescue
disciplines
that
include
high
angle,
rescue
trench
rescue
confined
space,
structural
collapse,
machinery,
entrapment
and
water
rescue.
The
department
is
also
trained
in
active
shooter,
hostile
events
and
weapons
of
mass
destruction.
P
We
provide
public
assistance
to
residents
with
water
emergencies,
gas
emergencies,
patient
lifts
and
carries,
and
smoke
detector
and
carbon
monoxide
detection
assistance
and
installation.
We
are
assisted
in
in
the
delivery.
Advanced
life
support
emergency
medical
services
by
our
ems
provider,
cataldo
ambulance.
P
P
Overall,
this
budget
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
lower
than
the
fy
21
budget,
which
is
primarily
a
result
of
the
table
of
organization
being
set
at
97
members
plus
one
office
administrator
down
from
102
members.
This
budget
takes
into
consideration
the
expiration
of
the
safer
grant
that
was
in
place
for
three
years.
P
P
P
Our
goal
for
this
year
is
to
continue
the
current
focus
on
training
command
and
control
and
pre-operational
planning.
We
hope
to
have
a
new
contract
in
place
in
the
near
future
and,
lastly,
I
have
to
know,
as
I
have
in
the
past,
that
it's
always
been
my
contention-
that
additional
frontline
staffing
is
required
with
our
community
risk
assessment
and
finding
ways
to
responsibly
budget.
For
that
is
always
under
consideration,
and
I
have
a
copy
of
these
comments.
I
can
email
out.
G
Just
just
to
emphasize
that
that
I
believe
the
chief
is
doing
a
fantastic
job
with
his
budget.
We
remember
from
years
past
that
we
had
difficulties
with
the
overtime
and
other
things
that
were
not
within
the
the
scope
that
we
had
hoped
they
would
be,
but
I
think
the
chief
has
proven
that
he's
able
to
to
do
this
exceptionally
well,
and
we
commend
him
for
that.
The
the
500
000
drop
in
the
regular
salaries,
as
the
chief
said,
it's
it's
five
positions
that
are
not
funded
in
this
year's
budget.
G
B
P
P
P
F
P
P
Stations
yeah,
because
in
this
case
we
did
because
the
metro
fire
resources
were
so
depleted
because
they
were
five
alarms
in
we
have
again.
Our
fleet
is
fantastic
right
now
we
have
a
very
good
frontline
fleet.
Thanks
to
the
support
of
the
city
manager
and
the
council,
that's
provided
the
funding
for
the
cip.
P
P
P
So,
even
though
we're
going
to
be
under
budget
to
share
with
overtime,
I'm
asking
you
for
the
same
amount
and
as
I've
stated
in
the
past,
with
the
overtime
right
now,
our
salaries
in
the
new
budget
or
about
8.5
million.
The
the
overtime
budget
formula
that
has
been
very
consistent
is
about
15
percent
of
of
your
salary
line
for
overtime,
so
that
15
is
1.275
and
we're
budgeting
1.25.
L
P
This
city
is
very
well
covered
with
the
three
locations
that
we
run
from.
If
we
compare
what
we
run
for
frontline
resources
with
everett
revere,
east
boston,
other
similar
agencies,
the
three
stations
is
not
the
issue.
Now
do
we
need
maybe
a
new
station
or
an
improved
station
down
the
road
as
a
replacement?
That
might
be
something,
but
right
now
we
have
three
buildings
that
we're
running
out
of
that
have
been
renovated.
P
During
covert
19,
I'm
very
proud
of
how
this
department
ran,
we
had
a
very
low
infraction
rate.
We
only
had
12
firefighters
out
of
100
that
tested
positive
and
we're
together
in
living
quarters,
24
7.,
and
we
they
did
an
excellent
job
with
masking,
with
with
distancing
with
protecting
themselves
on
calls.
But
we
had
a
very
low
infection
rate
compared
to
other
municipal
fire
departments.
P
P
I
I
don't
really
track
alcohol-related
issues
that
would
be
more
for
the
police
to
track
for
you,
but
the
response
to
overdoses
was
down
somewhat
significantly
during
covert
and
we
have
seen
I
would
anticipate.
I
would
guess
I
haven't
looked
at
the
data
yet
for
may
and-
and
I
haven't
really
analyzed
the
end
of
april
yet,
but
I
I
can
already
tell
you
that
I
believe
there's
an
uptick
already.
K
There's
an
uptick
already
coming
back:
yeah
yeah,
okay!
Well,
that's
that's!
I'm
glad
there
was
a
downturn
in
it
during
covet,
at
least
because
we've
heard
stories
about
how
more
people
had
more
time
to
you
know
get
high.
But
that's
that's!
That's
good
news,
bad
news
on
the
uptick,
so
I
noticed
here
on
the
21
key
accomplishments.
K
P
Actually,
that's
that's
ongoing
right
now,
yeah,
so
the
pratfall
station,
since
it
was
built
in
75,
hasn't
received
any
attention.
It
wasn't
really
made
for
a
modern
fire
department's
needs
with
separation
and
just
privacy
issues
taken
into
effect.
So
basically,
the
project
is
taking
a
dormitory
that
was
one
big,
open,
dormitory
and
creating
four
different
sleeping
quarters
for
firefighters,
renovating
the
kitchen.
It
basically
takes
all
the
living
quarters
and
I
gotta
say
dpw
fidel.
P
P
L
H
I
H
P
Not
many
metro
departments
have
that
some
do,
but
I
think
the
trend
is
more
towards
more
firefighters
to
handle
the
incidents
when
they
get
there
than
another
apparatus,
with
the
same
number
of
five
footers
on
each.
So,
if
you
were
going
to
give
me
20
extra
positions,
I
would
say
they
belong
in
in
fourth
man:
positions
on
the
apparatus
that
we
have
for
two
square
miles.
The
three
stations
provides
us
sufficient
coverage
and
response
times
within
the
iso
guidelines.
L
I
L
P
C
C
G
D
Okay,
mr
chairman,
so
my
budget
in
total
has
increased
by
five
thousand
dollars,
but
there's
two
sort
of
major
changes
that
are
going
on
in
this
budget
and
I'll
explain
them
to
you.
So
first
last
year
we
had
five
people
in
my
office.
It
was
myself
ned,
lawrence,
kate
and
monwe.
Monwe
was
doing
communications,
work
for
the
city
and
we
had
budgeted
her.
She
was
a
part-time
employee.
D
D
It's
the
her
salary
is
at.
She
went
up
one
grade
in
the
exempt
salary
schedule.
She
went
from
an
mm3
to
an
mm4.
This
number
in
the
budget
is
a
little
low.
We
put
a
placeholder
in
there.
This
is
this
budget.
That's
in
this
number.
That's
in
the
budget
is
reflecting
an
mm4
step
two
and
we
ended
up
putting
her
at
an
mm4
step,
five,
so
the
the
salary
effect
of
july,
one
for
mm4
step.
Five
is
58
000,
so
it's
an
additional
four
thousand
dollars
that
money
will
be
available.
D
The
difference
is
available
in
the
salary
reserve
account
which
I'll
get
to
next
or
shortly
before
we
leave
here.
So
that
is
one
change
from
the
number
in
the
budget.
Lord
ace's
number
actually
will
be
a
little
higher
than
what's
reflected
on
july
1
than
that,
but
her
role
is
changing
and
she's,
taking
on
some
of
what
monwe
was
doing,
and
in
addition
to
that,
the
balance
of
some
of
this
communications
work
we
flipped
into
the
contract
services
line
item.
D
So
that's
why
you
see
that
new
25
000
number
that's
going
to
be
for
some
outsourcing
of
some
of
the
communications
work.
That
manu
was
doing.
Some
of
the
website
work
a
little
bit
of
graphic
design,
work
and
so
we're
going
to
hire
outside
contrast
to
do
that.
As
I
said,
this
kind
of
balances
out
out
and
we're
not
hiring
another
employee.
D
I
would
ask
you
to
fund
that
my
office
has
always
had
four
positions.
There
is
just
too
much
work
in
that
office
for
myself
and
that
in
law
days
to
effectively
accomplish
so
I'd,
ask
that
you
fund
the
position,
even
though
it
is
vacant
at
the
moment.
I
would
like
to
start
looking
to
hire
someone,
but
obviously
can't
do
that
until
I
know
that
the
position
will
be
funded.
Those
are
the
two
major
changes
going
on
in
the
office.
D
D
D
D
Yes,
that's
the
vacancy
in
my
office,
I
I'm
asking
the
council
not
to
cut
it.
I
would
like
to
fill
that
what
I'm
telling
the
council
is
that
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
do
the
work
in
my
office
with
just
three
people.
I
really
need
a
fourth
person
in
there
to
do
this
job
and
what's
that
salary,
this
is
what
kate
was
making
84
two
twenty
nine
is
that
the
full
salary?
That's
the
full
salary.
Yes
for
that
position.
Eighty
four
thousand
two:
twenty
nine
thank.
K
D
D
I
think
that's
the
mm7,
that's
the
mm76,
so
that's
high
up
on
that
grade.
Typically,
we
hire
people
new
people
at
a
little
lower,
so
this
person
could
come
in
a
little
lower.
Kate
was
still
here,
oh
no,
she
wasn't
here.
We
knew
she
was
going
so
we
put
it
vacant,
but
we
put
her
salary
in,
but
it's
possible
that
a
new
person
could
come
in
a
little
lower
on
the
scale,
but
it
will
be
at
that
same
grade,
which
is
the
mm7
grade.
Thank
you.
I
A
A
B
D
So
I
apologize
because
this
is
actually
63
and
there's
no
numbers
here,
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you,
you
approved
a
budget
for
this
office
in
a
free
cash
appropriation
and
you
approve
three
simple
line
items
for
it:
salary
which
is
112.5.
That's
what
the
new
dei
director
will
make.
That's
the
department
head
pretty
much
salary
level
for
department
heads.
D
D
D
This
is
all
she's
going
to
spend
in
salary,
we're
not
hiring
anyone
else
for
this
office,
but
she
has
a
total
available
for
her
in
contract
support
of
45
000..
She
has
a
total
of
30
thousand
dollars
in
training.
She
will
use
some
of
each
of
those
parts
in
fy
22..
I
doubt
she'll
use
it
all,
and
so
we'll
have
some
money
left
over
for
fy
23
that
we'll
use
in
her
fy
23
budget.
But
those
are
the
those
are
the
three
line
items
in
this,
and
so
we
have
her
salary.
I
D
For
the
foreseeable
future,
yes,
it
could
grow,
but
for
fy
22
and,
I
would
say
almost
certainly
fy
23-
it
will
be
a
one
person
department,
as
I
propose
to
the
council
when
you
approve
this
department,
we
said
that
for
the
first
two
years
it
was
likely
to
be
a
one-person
department.
That's
what
I
anticipate.
D
D
So
this
is
how
this
will
work.
It
will
take
a
little
bit
to
do
this
transition.
I
expect
it
to
happen
sometime
in
the
fall.
I
have
to
find
an
office
for
them.
We're
thinking
of
they
may
end
up
up
here
next
to
hr,
there's
a
little
office
there,
but
that's
remains
to
be
seen.
I
just
don't.
This
will
not
take
place
on
july
1..
This
is
going
to
take
a
little
transition
time,
but
the
end
result
would
be
to
have
this
payroll
unit,
and
this
would
be
the
budget
for
that
office.
D
G
So
we
we
have
the
salaries
that
tom
had
mentioned,
and
I
think
we
had
talked
when
I
talked
about
auditing
about
the
unused
sick
leave
and
some
of
those
things
that
came
over
as
well
on
the
operations
side,
the
rent
lease
equipment,
that's
for
a
copier
machine
that
would
be
in
the
office
that
doesn't
have
one
currently
professional
services,
the
20
000.
We
foresee
that
to
be
a
use,
if
you
have
a
project,
that's
related
to
payroll,
that
you
need
some
unit
support,
or
some
consultant
support
to
achieve.
You'd
use
this
money.
To
do
that.
G
We
expect
that
the
that
the
decentralization
project
that
we
talked
about
earlier,
which
is
already
funded
through
partly
my
budget
and
partly
schools,
will
be
at
the
end
of
22
nearly
finished.
We
may
be
ready
for
something
more
after
that
and
that
perhaps
could
come
from
this
twenty
thousand
dollars.
That
would
be
the
self-service
portal
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
are
associated
there
forms
we
talked
about
before
at
the
1475.
That's
the
w-2
forms
the
500
of
travel
and
conferences.
G
We
anticipate
that
the
payroll
unit
may
need
to
have
some
kind
of
training
or
continuing
education
on
the
to
do's
and
subscriptions.
I
think
wendy
is
already
a
member
of
a
payroll
association
for
do's
and
subscriptions
and
then
maybe
some
training
that
she'd
like
to
to
pursue,
or
perhaps
the
new
person
would
need
some
training
as
well.
So
these
are
fairly
educated
guesses
on
how
much
we
need,
of
course,
the
professional
services
is,
is
not
really
known
at
this
point.
Until
we
determine
next
steps.
G
G
L
F
I
F
F
G
G
G
C
D
F
G
Her
there's
no
change
it's
the
same
level
of
salary,
except
that
the
accounts
payable
portion
of
her
job
would
come
out
of
her
job
description.
She
would
no
longer
be
associated
with
accounts
payable,
it's
strictly
payroll.
We
need
to
have
her
focused
on
payroll
only,
and
that
would
also
mean
that
the
other
person
in
my
office
has
the
payroll
function
of
her
job
taken
away
and
sticks
with
accounts
payable
in
finance.
Okay,
in.
D
The
second
position,
we're
assuming
a
certain
slot
within
the
union,
pay
scale
and
we're
assuming
this.
This
is
an
seiu
position,
we're
assuming
it
would
come
in
at
a
grade
eight
step:
five,
I
mean
that's
kind
of
a
guesstimate,
but
that's
roughly
where
we
think
this
will
this
job
description
will
end
up.
G
I'm
sorry
there's
one
other
thing
I
had
forgot
to
mention
and
I'm
seeing
any
of
the
office
equipment.
So
the
office
equipment
is
the
specialized
printer
that
is
required
for
the
payroll
operation.
We
have
currently
a
specialized
printer
in
the
auditing
department,
but
no
backup
to
that.
So
I
had
talked
with
ramon
and
we
had
recommended
having
my
office's
machine
as
the
backup
and
a
newer
machine
provided
for
the
payroll
office.
C
H
G
A
F
D
G
F
D
So
there's
just
three
small
items
left
on
here.
The
first
is
the
budget
reserve
fund,
so
this
is
590
000
and
the
reason
why
it's
so
high
is
that
we
have
three
at
the
time
we
proposed
this.
We
had
three
unions
that
still
had
not
negotiated
contracts
and
for
which
their
raises
aren't
reflected
in
this
budget.
D
The
police
patrol
fire
in
e-911.
Those
are
the
three
remaining
contracts
police
patrol
settled
this
week.
Their
union
accepted
the
contract,
offer
that
matter
will
be
before
you
on
june
7..
It's
almost
identical
to
the
deal
that
was
given
to
the
superior
officers,
except
that
patrol
will
be
granted.
If
you
accepted
a
1
000
bonus
for
this
year
in
lieu
of
taking
a
zero,
the
spears
office
took
a
zero
and
did
not
get
a
bonus.
D
Spare
officers
make
more
money,
so
the
same
percentage
is
worth
much
more
to
a
superior
officer,
so
the
patrol
officers
negotiated
a
thousand
dollar
bonus
for
fy21
that
none
of
that
is
included
in
here.
So
if
you
approve
that
we'll
do
a
transfer
from
salary
reserve
to
them
sometime
during
the
course
of
fy22
body
cams,
I'm
sorry
body,
cams
body
cameras
were
accepted.
Yes
same.
A
G
I
don't
think
it
would
be
transferred
to
other
accounts.
We
only
had
a
short
window
in
fiscal
23
months
so
from
march
to
june,
but
21
you're
going
to
see
it
more,
but
it
will
go
to
free
cash.
It'll
remain
in
the
line
that
it
was
budgeted
in
and
create
a
surplus
on
the
expense
line,
and
that
would
flow
to
free
cash.
Yeah.
D
A
G
Line
it
does
it's
going
to
be.
I
mean,
there's
a
little
bit
more
of
a
formula
necessary
because
of
that
school
spending
for
them,
but
if,
if
they
have
surplus,
then
it
would
flow
to
the
bottom
line
as
a
free
cash
supplement
after
the
dor
reviews
it
on
our
side,
I'm
just
looking
quickly
at
structures
and
grounds
in
the
dpw
budget,
and
I
see
there's
a
slight
surplus
of
four
thousand
dollars
in
heating.
G
G
A
D
D
We
could
have
some
surplus
it'll
just
fall
to
the
bottom
line:
okay,
yeah.
The
next
item
is
debt
service,
169,
principal
and
interest
payment.
This
comes
right
off
our
bond
scheduled.
These
numbers
are
provided
to
us
by
bond
councils
to
what
we
owe
for
principle
and
interest,
and
so
these
are
precise.
These
are
pretty
precise
numbers
for
what
we
will
owe
in
fiscal
year,
22
for
the
other
borrowing
we
have
out
there.
G
D
The
last
item
is
the
interfund
transfers
on
page
173.
This
is
really
just
two
items
so
transfers
the
capital
project.
That's
the
money
that
we
that's
the
required
contractual
obligation
to
enterprise
for
a
long-term
enterprise
lease
contract.
So
we
have
some
commitments
to
them
for
capital
monies
that
they
spend
in
return.
They
guarantee
us
a
certain
level
of
excise
tax
which
they've
always
met,
and
even
this
year,
they've
more
than
met
it.
So
last
year
we
reduced
it
because
we
had
some
excess
in
this
account
and
we
use
the
excess
to
meet
this
1.2.
D
We
still
have
a
little
excess
in
this
account,
but
I'd
rather
hold
it
for
when
we
really
need
it,
we
can
get
away
with
going
back
to
the
normal
1.285,
which
is
required
by
their
contract
and
then
the
last
item
transfer
the
trust
fund.
This
is
the
amount
we
set
aside
every
year
for
our
very
large
opeb
for
outstanding
liability.
D
Of
immaterial
for
a
hundred
and
eighty
million
dollar
liability
you're
putting
aside
three
hundred
thousand
but
the
credit
agencies
want
to
see
this,
we
didn't
do
it
last
year
and
they
understood
that
in
covid,
but
they
will
not
understand
it
every
year.
So
we're
going
to
return
to
what
we've
always
done,
which
is
we
put
a
little
bit
aside
now.
I've
said
many
times
we
have
a
plan
for
covering
the
opeb
liability.
D
Our
open
liability
is
dropping
mostly
because-
and
I
would
I
think,
it's
going
to
be
reflected
I'll-
be
surprised
if
it
doesn't
drop
a
good
amount
in
this.
Most
recent
analysis
that
we're
going
to
do
in
this
year,
because
this
movement
of
our
retirees,
this
forced
movement
to
medicare,
is
saving
us
in
medical
costs,
and
I
think
it
will
be
reflected
we'll
see.
But
my
guess
is
our
number
might
drop.
