B
Good
morning
good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
May
21st
council,
new
and
also
budget
hearing,
we're
gonna
have
a
invocation
done
by
counsel
Gary
Allen.
The
merit
is
like
later
today
and
after
he
does
that
we
would
do

and
then
I
will
turn
things

That

join
me
as
we
pray
God.
We
come
to
you
now
thanking
you
for
all
your
blessings,
your
grace
in
your
mercy.
We
ask
your
continued
blessings
on
our
city.
State
and
nation
bless
those
in
attendance
today
and
their
families
guide
our
deliberations
today
as
we
conduct
the
business
of
the
city.
Thank
you,
Lord
for
all
you're
doing
in
our
lives.
I
asked
in
my
saviors
name,
Amen.
E
E
We
are
here
today
to
take
a
look
at
the
add
delete
list
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
familiar
with
this
a
couple
of
points
as
we
go
through
this.
There
are
some
items
on
this
list
that
our
department
heads
have
asked
us
to
add.
I,
don't
see
any
on
the
list
that
our
department
heads
have
asked
us
to
delete
necessarily,
but
we
do
have
a
balancing
of
the
budget
process.
E
E
B
F
F
I'm,
the
clerk
of
Superior
Court.
There
are
some
items
that
some
monies
that
we
receive
for
from
that
office
in
the
general
fund.
I
cannot
go,
tie
anything
specifically
on
the
list
to
any
particular
revenue
source
so
that
we
do,
but
we
do
have
departments
on
here
that
do
produce
revenues
they're
just
general
fund
revenues,
though.
B
B
E
G
E
H
Good
morning,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
the
last
person
on
the
agenda
we'll
make
it
quick
as
I
bring
money
to
you
I,
don't
ask
for
much.
I
have
a
high
rate
of
return
on
your
investment
that
you're
making
to
us.
I'm
coming
to
you
asking
you
for
forty
six
thousand,
eight
hundred
twenty
four
dollars
of
that
amount.
H
In
the
pay
grades
of
four
of
my
top
individuals,
which
are
my
deputy
tax
commissioners
and
my
accounting
administrator
I've,
provided
to
you
as
an
attachment
to
the
package
that
you
have
the
CSU
Job
Description
reviews
and
recommendations
that
they
have
made,
which
are
in
aligned
with
the
requirements
of
city
government,
and
so
that
explains
the
request.
I
have
put
in
there
what
their
recommendation
was
when
compared
to
other
city
functions
within
city
government,
and
so
that
information
is
available
to
you
and
it's
attached
to
you
and
highlighted
in
the
essence
of
time.
H
Unless
you
have
questions
pertaining
to
that,
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that
on
operational
contractual
services
were
reduced
by
sixteen
thousand
dollars.
We
have
no
control
over
that
amount
whatsoever.
It
is
mandated
by
the
Department
of
Revenue
as
the
result
of
the
vendor
the
contract
vendor
that
the
state
utilizes
for
the
mail
out
of
tag
renewals,
and
we
have
to
pay
that
amount
of
money
directly
to
the
state.
They
changed
vendors,
and
that
was
the
increase
in
the
cost
on
the
postage.
H
We
have
no
control
over
the
postage
cost
that
has
gone
up
from
50
cents
to
55
cents
on
our
postage
and
a
bulk
of
our
communication
and
collecting
dollars
is
based
on
postage.
In
addition
to
that,
that
directly
is
related
to
our
revenue.
We
generate
a
dollar
per
million
for
these
motor
vehicle
renewals.
So
when
we
send
out
that
50
Cent's
millage
postage,
we
also
collect
a
dollar
from
the
citizens.
H
So
when
you
were
talking
about,
revenues
have
two
items
that
are
actually
budget
neutral
here
in
this
particular
case,
but
because
the
way
the
budget
system
is
set
up,
it
doesn't
take
under
consideration
that
my
postage
is
offset
by
the
budget
revenues
that
we
bring
in
for
every
postage
that
goes
out.
We
receive
a
dollar
back
and
we're
only
spending
like
50
cents
previously
to
that,
but
55
cents.
H
We
recoup
that
at
the
time
of
the
tax
cell,
so
our
primary
costs,
which
are
postage,
supplies
advertising
and
when
it
happens,
attorney
fees.
They
are
all
recouped
at
the
time
we
take
a
piece
of
property
to
tax,
so
whoever
the
high
bidder
is
that
wins.
That
bid
also
must
pay
what
is
referred
to
as
administration
revenues.
H
That
comes
back
in
to
us.
We
take
those
monies
and
turn
them
over
to
the
general
fund.
It
shows
up
in
the
general
fund
as
tax
revenues
as
part
of
those
additional
fees
we
collect,
but
it
never
offsets
or
shows
up
in
my
budget.
That's
where
my
expenditure
is,
and
so
that's
what
the
other
$6,000
is,
that
we
have
there
the
impact
of
having
to
reduce
by
this
amount.
H
Naturally,
when
my
top
employees
are
working
twice
as
hard
and
the
unique
thing
about
these
employees
is
that
I
have
a
very
young
staff
at
this
management
level
who
all
are
technology
savvy
I
would
not
have
been
able
to
implement
or
bring
on
boards
at
Tyler
is
whorl
accounting
system
and
tax
appraisal
system.
Had
it
not
been
for
the
technology
that
these
individuals
bring
to
the
table
on
Memorial
Day
of
next
week,
we
will
go
lives
on
drives.
H
We
no
longer
utilize
the
IT
department
of
the
city
for
the
functions
of
our
motor
vehicle
department
and
our
property
tax
department.
That
is
all
done
now
by
PCs.
The
employees
in
my
office
must
be
technology
savvy
in
order
to
operate
our
equipment.
It
is
not
like
20
or
30
years
ago,
quite
different.
H
If
we're
not
able
to
do
this,
that
three
thousand
and
four
postage
and
three
thousand
for
supplies
which
you
already
have
anyway
in
my
monies,
it's
going
to
cause
me
to
reduce
the
number
of
levies
that
I'm
going
to
do,
which
is
the
number
of
tax
cells
that
I'm
going
to
do
in
the
upcoming
year.
I
also
want
to
say
that
if
we
reduce
and
don't
do
that,
postage
that
I
have
in
there
and
it's
not
offset,
then
for
FY
2020,
you
need
to
reduce
the
postage
revenue
of
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars
rough.
H
That's
in
there
because
she
won't
get
that,
because
that
would
result
in
us
not
sending
out
motor
vehicle
tag
renewals
to
any
of
the
citizens.
So
you'd
have
to
reduce
your
revenues
by
that
amount
so
that
it
really
is
a
wash
wash
and
the
contractual
cost
would
go
away
so
for
the
mandated
tag
renewals,
so
that
expenditure
would
not
exist
and
nobody
in
city
government,
including
yourselves,
would
not
get
a
motor
vehicle
tag.
Renewal
notice.
H
So
you
would
increase
the
number
of
people
that
were
becoming
before
you
and
asking
about
that
before
Council
on
the
delinquent
tax
sale
in
FY
19,
we
only
did
three
tax
cells,
and
this
is
very
important
to
your
I
believe
because
it
affects
your
city's
reserve
and
it
can
help
you
out
in
FY
2019.
We
did
three
tax
sales,
which
was
about
1.3
six
million.
H
We
have
a
tax
sale
scheduled
for
the
first
Tuesday
of
June,
which
is
in
just
a
couple
of
weeks,
and
we
will
be
bringing
in
additional
cash
to
you
at
that
point
in
time.
Well,
in
2018
and
2019
because
of
the
expertise
of
my
employees,
I
did
not
ask
for
additional
employees,
I
cross
trained
within
the
city
government
and
into
my
office,
and
therefore
we
concentrated
our
efforts
on
bringing
on
board
tyler's
new
property
tax
and
evaluation
system,
and
then
we
turned
around
and
put
our
efforts
on
drives.
H
We
now
have
the
property
tax
system
in
place
and
Memorial
Day.
We
will
have
drives
in
place
and
it
was
our
intent
in
the
presentation
of
our
budget
that
we
would
now
concentrate
our
efforts
on
doing
more
tax
sales.
That
equates
for
2020
in
our
budget
right
now.
V
tach
sales,
instead
of
the
three
that
we
had
in
2019
we're
bringing
in
four
million
dollars
this
year.
H
So
we
want
to
give
you
a
positive
effect
on
your
cash
flow,
which
I
understand
you
are
in
need
of,
and
it
could
perhaps
help
you
on
the
next
sheet
that
you
have
there
and
I'll
make
a
very
brief
just
to
give
you
an
indicator
of
the
impact
that
we
have.
We
are
the
so
department
that
brings
you
revenue
to
this
magnitude
and
extent.
All
of
the
other
requests
that
you
will
be
doing
on
add
and
deletes
come
into
effect
by
us,
bringing
you
money.
H
If
we
don't
bring
you
that
money,
then
it's
sort
of
mute
question
as
to
how
much
you
add
and
delete
in
gross
collections
property
tax
motor-vehicle
in
2018,
we
provided
thirty-one
percent.
Thirty
one
point:
two
percent
of
your
operating
funds,
which
was
85
million
two
hundred
forty
one
dollars
I,
don't
think
any
other
Department
can
compare
with
that.
The
charges
for
fees,
in
addition
to
that
was
eleven
percent
of
your
forty
point,
eight
million
that
comes
in
from
other
fees
and
services.
H
Our
portion
of
that
equates
the
four
point:
five
million,
which
is
not
part
of
property
taxes,
if
I
subtract
from
that
the
motor
vehicles
and
property
tax
fees,
interest
and
late
payments.
That's
one
point
four,
three
two:
so
those
kinds
of
additional
revenues
that
I
bring
in
that
support
the
operations
of
what
we
physically
do,
which
our
function
is
to
provide
money
to
you.
We
collect
taxes
commissions
that
we
brought
in
from
the
school
district
at
2.5%.
Two
point:
eight
million
bid
Commission's
two
point:
five
percent.
H
Fourteen
point,
fourteen
thousand
dollars
and
I
understand
that
none
of
this
money
belongs
to
me
at
all,
but
in
the
title,
I
valorem
tax
in
the
law
itself
and
under
the
insurance
flap
feeds
the
lat.
The
law
does
state
that
these
additional
fees
go
to
defray
the
cost
of
the
additional
expenses
incurred
in
the
Tax
commissioner's
office
and
that
they
should
be
placed
in
the
general
fund
for
that
purpose.
From
2013
at
39,000
to
today
we
have
been
bringing
into
you
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
H
Okay
for
title,
a
valorem
taxes
and
I
have
never
asked
for
one
penny
of
that
money
to
be
given
back
to
my
department
for
its
operation
and
the
additional
expenditures
that
we
have
incurred
by
taking
on
the
passing
of
a
new
law
to
administrate
the
title
in
a
valorem
tax
fee
this
year
in
2018
that
amount
that
we
brought
in
was
one
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
I'm
only
asking
for
forty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
four
dollars.
The
last
fee
was
the
same
thing
in
2018.
H
It
was
six
to
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
ten
dollars
I'm.
Only
asking
for
forty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
four
dollars:
advertising
and
administration
fee
for
delinquent
taxes.
I've
already
explained
to
you
that
is
budget,
neutral,
I
recover
those
costs
automatically
every
time
I
have
a
tax
sale.
You
get
all
of
your
money
back
I
brought
that
back
into
you
for
2019,
so
I
2018,
so
I
will
do
the
same
thing
for
the
cells
in
2019
and
for
2020.
H
For
you,
this
is
additional
revenues
for
you
to
spend.
Because
that's
my
purpose,
we
look
for
money
to
give
you
to
spend
as
you
choose
so
for
FY
17.
We
did
598
adits,
we
brought
in
a
half
a
million
dollars,
okay,
a
half,
a
million
dollars
just
from
598
audits.
So
if
I
can
put
my
people
on
the
boards
to
use
the
internet
to
check
the
newspapers,
you
got
additional
monies
coming
in
and
FY
18.
We
do
the
same
thing
we
bumped
it
up.
H
We
did
642
artists,
despite
the
fact
that
we
were
handling
a
new
tax
system
and
a
motor
vehicle
registration
system
that
was
going
to
come
on
board
with
training
we
brought
in
another
half
a
million
dollars,
so
the
more
I
can
impact
with
technology.
I
can
get
advanced.
I
can
keep
my
folks
motivated
to
do
these
things.
I
can
provide
you
additional
funds
to
do
whatever
you
need
to
do.
I'm
asking
for
forty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
four
dollars.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
E
Any
questions
for
the
tax,
commissioner:
are
you
moving
both
the
personnel
items
and
the
operational
items?
Alright,
mr.
Alexander,
if
you'll
put
those
on
the
list
anything
else
for
the
Tax
Commissioner.
Mr.
four,
you
leave
the
platform.
Would
you
just
very
quickly
remind
our
audience
about
the
closure
of
the
tax
office
in
the
coming
days?
Yes,.
H
H
And
I
appreciate
that
very
much
because
that's
been
critical,
critical
and
I
mentioned
it
briefly
in
my
presentation,
referring
to
drawers,
we've
done
advertisement
for
Ford
and
it
is
going
live
drive
drives.
Is
the
software
system
that
the
motor
vehicle
department
utilizes
in
the
state
of
Georgia
for
all
hundred
and
fifty-nine
counties
on
Memorial
Day?
They
will
flip
the
switch
that
will
put
this
new
system
into
effect.
H
E
H
That's
correct.
Thank
you.
Friday
of
this
week
motor
vehicle
will
be
shut
down.
We
won't
be
able
to
answer
questions
for
you
unless
it's
some
very,
very
specific
question.
If
it's
a
general
question,
we'll
have
a
couple
of
people
there
that
you
know
will
ask
answer
general
questions
for
you,
but
we
won't
be
able
to
access
any
systems
whatsoever
because
it
shuts
down
on
midnight
on
Thursday.
H
We
are
shutting
down
our
motor
vehicle
operations
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
Wednesday,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
we
have
to
extract
from
that
system
all
of
our
financial
data
and
reconcile
it
and
be
sure
that
everything
is
accurate,
correct.
We
balance
out
to
a
zero,
because
if
we
wait
until
Thursday
and
try
to
do
it
on
Friday,
it's
too
late
and
when
we
bring
it
back
up
when
the
system
comes
up
next
week,
we
won't
be
able
to
do
that
reconciliation
of
what
was
and
what
is
there
now.
So.
H
H
We
could
appreciate
that
question.
Yes,
we
open
at
noontime
on
Tuesday
and
the
basis
for
that
is
because,
like
I
said
with
all
of
those
large
counties
hitting
counties
hitting
that
system
all
at
one
time,
we
don't
know
what
the
impact
is
going
to
be.
So
we,
my
staff,
will
be
in
here
on
Memorial
Day,
we're
going
to
be
in
here
testing
the
system.
Okay,
we're
doing
everything
to
be
proactive
that
that
system
is
going
to
work.
So
my
folks,
my
chief
folks,
are
going
to
be
in
here
with
I'll,
be
in
here.
H
H
F
The
total
cost
of
the
reclassifications
is
twenty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty-four
dollars,
and
also
just
as
a
matter
of
the
record
as
at
the
end
of
March.
Our
property
tax
revenues
are
up
about
two
percent
and
that
amounts
to
about
seven
hundred
and
eighty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
additional
revenue.
I
Well,
the
the
Tax
Commissioner
and
we
don't
dispute
anything
that
she
said
I
mean
I,
think
it's
an
encouraging
forecast,
it's
an
exciting
forecast,
especially
when
it
comes
to
delinquent
tax
sales,
but
we've
not.
This
is
our
first
time
seeing
the
report,
and
so
we
don't
question
or
dispute
our
numbers,
but
we
want
you
to
know
that
we've
not
seen
the
report
and,
as
the
finance
director
said,
we
see
the
revenue
up
around
close
to
$800,000
at
this
time
for
your
information,
okay,
Thank.
E
E
You
for
your
efforts
and
for
what
you
do
for
collecting
all
of
this
money.
I
told
the
Tax
Commissioner
the
other
day.
I
lived
in
Orange,
County
California
at
one
point
in
my
life
and
they
aren't
County
went
bankrupt
and
the
first
thing
they
did
was
they
laid
off
45
tax
collectors.
I
said
you
know.
If
you
go
if
you're
looking
for
money,
you
probably
ought
not
lay
off
the
people
who
collect
your
money,
so
she's
not
going
in
that
direction
at
all.
But
thank
you
so
much
councillor
Davis.
G
Ma'am,
thank
you.
There's
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
to
address
here:
I
think
that
I've
already
had
some
dialogue
and
some
conversation
on
it,
but
this
has
been
a
somewhat
an
interesting
year
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
around
salary
savings
within
departments,
I
think
everybody
knows.
If
you
go
back
to
the
prior
year.
Salary
savings
was
just
in
a
few
departments,
a
lot
of
departments
we're
in
budget
or
over
budget.
So
it's
kind
of
been
interesting
and
it's
been
really
along.
G
With
that
conversation,
that's
brought
up
some
some
thoughts
of
some
areas
that
we
may
need
to
take
a
close
look
at
and
when
I
say
take
a
closer
look
at
is
from
the
standpoint
of
just
a
management,
best
management
practices,
providing
more
of
a
I
guess
of
a
guideline
for
finance
and
for
the
executive
management
to
kind
of
kind
of
work
within
the
structure
of
the
government.
But
you
know
we
again:
we
talked
a
lot
about
salary
savings
in
the
budget.
It's
in
the
it's
in
the
fund
balance,
okay
and
that's
where
it
is.
G
We've
had
little
as
far
as
new
revenue,
I
guess,
you
can
say
little
increase
in
sales,
tax
I
think
there's
been,
you
know
on
the
property
tax
I'm,
not
really
sure
we
just
have
the
Tax
Commissioner
here,
I
mean
property
comes
on,
property
comes
off
the
tax
rolls
and
them
with
some
of
these
decisions,
whether
these
allocation
districts
or
whatever
you
know,
there's
money
floating
around
out
there
I
just
it's
not
in
the
general
fund.
It's
not
in
fund
balance.
G
I
just
don't
know
how
that's
adding
up
so
primarily,
we've
been
focused
a
lot
on
salary
savings,
I.
Think
in
that
understanding,
it's
kind
of
my
attention.
I
think
there's
been
some
agreement
across
the
board
to
come
up
with
some
terms,
maybe
a
better
word
as
a
control
measure
and
all
and
dealing
with
how
we're
using
salary
savings.
Whether
it's
you
know,
you've
heard
several
terms
that
we've
used,
whether
it's
reallocation
or
reclassifications
or
how
we're
using
that
money.
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
better
structure.
There.
G
I've
talked
to
city
manager,
I
think
I've
talked
with
the
finance
department
and
and
I
think
everybody's
in
agreement
and
at
some
point
before
we
finalize
the
budget,
I
think
that
we'll
have
a
section
dealing
with
those
some
I'm
just
going
to
use
the
word
terms.
I've
talked
to
city
manager
about
I,
think
he's
in
full
agreement
with
it.
I
Cheer
counsel,
Davis
did
speak
with
me
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
talk
to
the
mayor,
and
maybe
at
the
next
council
meeting
the
28th
mayor,
we
could
provide
a
salary
savings,
best
practices,
recommendation
that
would
be
included
in
the
budget
ordinance
kind
of
like
we
did
when
we
did.
What
is
it
1839
when
we
required
department
heads
to
come
back
to
council
if
they're
going
to
go
over
their
budget
right.
G
Fact
of
that
is
somewhat,
if
you,
you
know,
let's
just
say
hypothetically
this
coming
year,
all
the
positions
are
filled
that
money
just
goes
away,
so
you
got
to
be
real,
careful
how
you're
allocating
or
how
you're
you're
using
those
that
money.
It
may
not
be
there
and
then
we've
made
decisions
that
were
we're
not
really
sure
of,
and
on
the
flip
side,
on
the
flip
side,
you
you've
got
to
be
careful,
look
I'm,
not
I,
think
everybody
knows
I'm,
not
like
a
major
fan
of
budget
neutral
and
keeping
it
within
the
department.
I.
G
Think
it's
a
tall
if
you've
done
a
good
job
and
managing
your
department
and
there's
extra
money,
it
should
go
into
everything
should
go
into
the
the
general
pot.
But
you
know
the
past
administration
somewhat
have
allowed
us
to
do
or
to
utilize
those
the
the
extra
funds
in
the
departments
within
the
departments.
Now
you
know
you
got
to
look
at
that
if
you've
got
some
departments
that
have
a
lot
of
salary
savings,
you
know
the
question
comes
up:
should
they
be
able
to
use
their
own
salary
savings,
it's
in
their
department?
G
Or
are
you
gonna
turn
around
and
allocate
it
to
another
department
just
because
a
state
within
budget,
or
they
were
over
budget?
That's
somewhat
the
you
know,
there's
there's
an
aspect
of
penalisation
there
that
somebody
that
stays
within
budget
or
somebody
that's
over
budget
and
you
don't
you're
not
able
to
utilize
those
funds.
We've
had
last
year,
I
believe
we
had
two
major
departments,
so
that
was
a
majority
of
the
majority
of
the
salary
savings.
G
So
the
argument
is:
should
they
be
allowed
to
keep
their
own
money
versus
it
going
into
the
general
pot
and
then
being
used
and
right
now,
I
can't
tell
you,
unless
you
can
tell
me
which
direction
that
money
is
flowing,
you
know,
or
is
it
being
given
to
another
department,
because
they
don't
have
that
kind
of
money,
so
I'm
talking
in
general,
that's
the
the
reasoning
behind
coming
up
with
a
more
of
a
structure
on
the
salary
savings
side.
So
that's
one.
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
madame
before.
E
I
G
Terms
are
structured
or
whatever
and
put
together.
I
think
it
would
probably
be
it
would
come
in
the
form
of
a
budgetary
requirement,
so
it
would
be
a
a
step
there
and
we
will
be
approving
that
here
soon.
The
second
thing
is
I
know:
we've
got
some
non
departmental
matters
on
the
on
the
lid
for
financing.
One
dealing
with
the
film
funding,
the
other
one
dealing
with
Mercer
I
think
Mercer
is
pretty
much
set
that
we've
got
an
agreement
there.
G
We
just
we're
approving
the
funding
here,
but
we,
you
know
again
I,
go
back
to
the
terms
I
think
at
some
point,
if
not
already,
we
don't
have
it
now
dealing
with
these
approvals,
the
terms
of
how
this
fundings
going
to
work
or
them
or
the
understanding
the
the
film
fund
I'm
in
total
agreement
with
it,
but
I
think
all
of
us
have
had
meetings
and
we've
talked
to
various
people
who
are
involved
and
I.
Think
we
all
have
an
understanding,
I'm,
pretty
much
I,
think
I'm,
confident
saying
that
we're
all
in
the
same
page.
G
We
just
don't
have
those
terms
or
the
understanding
in
front
of
us
I'd
like
to
have
that
at
some
point
before
we
start
making
the
allocations.
I
just
think
it's
prudent
to
to
have
that
in
place.
So
it's
an
understanding
how
that
money
will
be
utilized
or
how
it
flows
through
well
its
taxpayer
money,
but
how
it
flows
to
to
these
entities.
G
So
again,
I
say
we
all
have
an
understanding
that
we
just
don't
have
that
document
in
front
of
us
right
now
and
I
think
it's
always
prudent
that
you
have
that
before
you
start
allocating
money,
we're
approving
it
now
so
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
and
I.
Don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
I'd
like
to
see
that
and
I
believe
the
staff
is
I've
had
some
conversation,
I
think
they're
working
on
that
and
that
it
would
get
it
had
come
to
us
set
up
soon
at
a
later
date.
J
E
F
Ma'am,
so
what
you
have
before
you
is
the
add
delete
list
before
today's
addition,
the
general
fund
balance
of
the
fund,
a's
balance,
began
at
sixty
nine
point,
one
two
days
with
the
addition
to
the
list
by
a
counselor
Alan
for
the
Tax
Commissioner.
That
revised
balance
is
sixty
five
point:
seven
six
days
in
the
general
fund
on
the
report
that
you
have
before
you.
It
shows
sixty
five
point:
eight
five,
so
the
revised
starting
balance
with
everything
that's
on
the
list
is
sixty
five
point.
Seven
six
days.
E
Before
you
go
further,
miss
Alexander
I
know
we
have
a
couple
of
counselors
who
are
new
to
the
budget
process.
Would
you
just
sort
of
go
through
the
process
that
we
do?
For
example,
if
we,
if
we
add
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
something,
what
does
that
do?
How
do
we
calculate
that?
Where
does
that
come
from
some
of
those
kinds
of
things?
Would
you
do
that
for
us.
F
Yes
ma'am,
so
every
item
that's
listed
on
here
is
these
essentially
impact
and
reserves,
except
for
the
items
that
are
in
fact
budget
neutral,
and
so
what
we
do
is
we
determine
based
on
the
dollar
value
of
the
item?
That's
on
the
list.
What
how
does
that
impact
the
fund
balance
Reserve
days,
so
you
may
see
to
the
far
right
of
the
list
there
GF
val
days
or
that
stands
for
general
fund
balance
days.
So
you
can
see
the
impact
there
too.
F
The
reserve
balance
based
on
what's
listed
there
as
an
example
with
item
number
one,
there
is
a
deletion
of
a
temporary
position
in
the
Marshall's
office.
So
that's
actually
adding
back
point
one
zero
days,
all
of
the
other
items
where
it's
a
deduction
or
a
reduction
of
the
fund
balance
days,
which
show
up
as
a
negative.
E
So,
for
example,
the
next
item
on
there
that
lists
a
deduction
is
happens
to
be
in
the
coroner's
office
and
it's
a
deduction
of
point
zero,
eight
days
of
the
fund
balance.
So
that's
the
that's
the
running,
tally
that
we're
keeping
in
that's
how
we
ultimately
come
up
with
the
sixty
five
point:
seventy
six
days,
yes,
ma'am!
Okay!
Thank
you
all
right.
F
So
just
starting
out
with,
as
madam
budget
chair
mentioned,
the
items
that
are
in
fact,
budget
neutral,
I'm
gonna
jump
around
on
the
list
here,
I'm
starting
out
on
the
first
page
in
the
general
fund
with
item
number
two.
This
is
actually
a
staff
addition
for
the
sheriff's
office.
It
was
just
an
item
that
was
inadvertently
missed
from
being
placed
in
the
recommended
budget,
but
it
is
in
fact
budget
neutral.
It
is
the
reclassification
of
an
ID
technician.
F
E
E
C
B
E
F
Said
so
the
next
budget
neutral
item
that's
listed
here
is
item
number
11.
It
was
added
on
the
add,
delete
list
by
Councillor
Woodson.
It
is
also
again
for
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
it
is
a
two
and
a
half
percent
pay
increase
or
which
is
the
equivalent
of
one,
a
one
step
increase
on
the
pay
scale
for
all
sergeant,
grade-a,
teens,
all
captain's
grade
20s
and
all
do
ten.
It's
great
twenty
two
positions-
and
this
will
be
budget
neutral
by
reallocating
the
salaries
from
two
correctional
officer
positions.
F
E
That
what
that
means
is
that
if
we
approve
this
at
this
point,
the
money
that
is
currently
in
the
budget
for
these
two
correctional
officers
will
go
to
this
reclass
and
it
will
stay
there.
Those
those
positions
cannot
be
filled
forevermore
unless
she
comes
back
to
councils
to
get
them
filled
and
re-finding
funded.
E
K
So
when
we
have,
this
cannot
fill
the
position
in
the
future
unless
expressly
approved
by
council.
Does
that
actually
reduce
the
positions
like
you
know
when
they
come
before
us?
They
say
we
are
50
officers
down
25
officers
down.
So
would
that
actually
say
say
say
it
was
50
so
now
would
they
be
stating
that
they
are
48
officers
down
what.
E
This
generally
means
then
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
for
just
as
an
example
and
the
numbers
are
probably
not
right
suppose
they
have
a
hundred
correctional
officers.
This
means
from
now,
until
they
come
back
to
get
further
authorization
from
council,
they
will
only
have
98
positions,
they
won't
have
the
hundred
positions.
They'll
only
have
98
and
so
I'm,
assuming
that
again
to
your
right.
If
they
say
they
have
50
vacancies,
this
means
they
only
have
48
vacancies
because
they
don't
have
those
two
positions.
Correct
okay
is
that
is
that
a
fair,
excellent.
E
F
F
This
brings
that
your
live
amount
in
line
with
year,
seven
through
30,
and
this
will
be
accomplished
by
reallocating
the
salaries
from
one
police
officer
position
and
again,
this
position
cannot
be
filled
in
the
future,
unless
is
freshly
approved
by
council,
and
just
so
you
know
the
when
we
do
these
types
of
it
can't
be
filled
until
approved
by
council
that
is
actually
adopted
in
the
budget
ordinance.
So
that
tally
as
far
as
how
many
police
is
using
how
many
of
the
sheriff
is
using
to
do.
E
B
E
I,
don't
know
if
you
heard
that
chief
but
she's
asking
that
at
some
point
not
today,
but
at
some
point,
if
you
would
make
a
presentation,
perhaps
in
a
work
session
on
how
you
are
trying
to
fill
those
empty
positions,
so
I
think
you
and
the
city
manager
can
get
together
with
a
schedule.
Okay,
anything
else.
Okay,
did
we
vote
on
that?
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
of
items,
16
I
any
opposed
motion
carries.
F
Moving
to
page
number
two:
this
is
the
next
budget
neutral
item,
it's
item
number
23
and
it
is
for
the
washes
office.
It
was
placed
on
the
at
delete
list
by
councillor
Huff
and
it
is
increasing
the
uniforms
expense
by
reducing
$5,000
from
overtime
and
$12,000
from
bailiffs.
This
is
in
fact,
budget
neutral.
He
is
just
reallocating
money
from
his
personnel
to
his
operating
budget
and
in.
F
F
Oh
I'm,
sorry
I
missed
it.
Yes,
moving
back
to
item
number
14
I
didn't
have
it
highlighted
on
my
sheet
here
it
is
a
reclassification
for
the
district
attorney's
office.
It
was
placed
on
the
ad
delete
list
by
Councillor
crab
and
it
is
actually
a
reduction
to
the
budget.
The
reclassification
is
to
reclassify
an
administrative
assistant
grade
12
P
to
administrative
operations,
manager,
gray,
18
C.
It
is
a
reduction
of
thirteen
hundred
and
twelve
dollars.
E
F
F
So
if
you
could
turn
to
me
turn
for
me
to
the
last
page
on
the
current
printout
that
you
have
for
the
other
fund,
the
budget
neutral
items
sliding
with
item
number
two
was
added
to
the
list
by
councillor
pew
for
the
Civic
Center.
They
are
deleting
a
and
actually
items.
2
3,
&
4
are
in
tandem.
So
those
items
all
impact
each
other
in
order
to
keep
this.
In
fact,
budget
neutral,
but
item
number
2
is
to
delete
a
great
9
arena.
E
F
Next
item
item
number
5
is
also
in
the
for
the
Civic
Center
Council,
recently
approved
moving
forward
with
the
agreement
for
a
hockey
team
at
the
Civic
Center.
This
is
just
establishing
the
revenue
and
an
expense
budget
for
hockey
at
the
Civic
Center.
It
is
in
fact,
budget
neutral.
The
budget
a
budgeted
amount
for
hockey
to
be
added
to
the
Civic
Center's
budget
is
three
hundred
twenty
four
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
E
F
The
last
budget
neutral
item
is
item
number
seven.
This
is
a
staff
addition
for
the
engineering
department,
its
position
within
the
paving
fund.
It
is
a
title
change
only
reclassifying
a
senior
engineering
technician
grade,
16
a
GIS
technology
supervisor
grade
16;
there's
no
impact
to
the
budget
for
this
change.
We.
F
E
F
Next
item
on
the
list
is
item
number
three.
This
was
placed
on
the
list
by
councilor
pew
for
the
coroner's
office
and
actually
items
number
three
and
four
are
in
conjunction
with
each
other
and
item
number
five
is
is
independent,
but
item
number
three
is
for
the
coroner's
office
is
to
add
one
full
time.
Deputy
coroner
grade
16
position
with
the
clothing
allowance.
That
cost
is
fifty
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars.
This
is
partially
offset
by
a
reduction
in
part-time
wages
for
the
coroner's
office
of
twelve
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars.
F
Item
two
on
the
Olas
funds
is
actually
in
conjunction
with
this
addition,
because
the
deputy
corners
do
receive
a
no
loss
supplement
and
that
amount
is
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
eight
dollars
and
if
I
could
go
back
to
item
number
one
on
the
old
lost
list
that
was
in
reference
to
the
old
lost
supplement
for
that
temporary
position
in
the
marshal's
office.
Can
we
address
that?
Well,
we,
let's.
G
Right
what
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
make
a
recommendation
here
to
call
it
recommendation
or
amendment
to
this
request
and
go
back
to
what
I
was
talking
about
earlier
about
the
about
the
fund
balance,
just
understanding,
it's
always
been.
What
we're
working
with
today
is
that
we
we've
used
this
fund
balance,
we're
doing
reallocations,
we're
doing
well.
We've
done
emergency
expenditures
in
the
past,
we're
doing
reclassifications,
you're
doing
bonuses.
You're
doing
you
know
it's
budget,
neutral
or
capital
or
non
reoccurring
expenses.
G
Some
of
this
stuff,
as
I
put
it
under
restructuring
such
as
a
recorders,
court
and
I,
think
the
the
public
defender
and
all
is
in.
You
could
put
it
under
restructuring
and
even
the
clerk
of
Council
we're
doing.
This
council
is
dealing
with
some
structuring
in
those
area
and
then,
of
course,
you
got
the
restricted
funds,
but
what
what
I
see
what's
been
talked
about
and
the
finance
director
is
addressed
as
is
pertaining
to
new
allocation
of?
Well,
it's
not
allocation.
It's
it's!
G
The
utilization
of
an
expenditure
or
utilization
of
revenue,
so
we're
really
increasing
the
budget
by
and
not
only
increasing
the
budget,
but
we're
adding
on
new
personnel
to
the
government
at
an
expense.
I
question
then
I
have
a
concern
because
I'm
still
not
comfortable
where
we're
at
with
with
our
revenue,
the
horizon.
You've
got
to
think
about
the
horizon
and
all
the
economists
are
out
there
talking
about
recessions,
etc.
So
you
know,
and
and
and
you
cannot
discount
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
a
brac
anymore.
G
Okay,
we
don't
have
a
brac
anymore,
so
there's
gonna
be
some
things
that
may
happen
on
the
horizon,
that
we
really
need
to
come
to
grips
with.
You
know:
I'm,
not
a
I'm,
not
forecasting
anything
and
not
a
wizard
or
anything
like
that
to
say
what's
going
to
happen,
but
I
do
know
that
these
things
are
being
talked
about
and
we
got
to
understand
it.
The
possibility
we're
putting
ourselves
in
position.
We
take
on
new
people
who
I
have
to
let
them
go
at
some
time.
Hopefully
that
won't
happen.
G
G
How
can
I
say,
look
I
have
to
trust
at
word
all
the
departments
when
they
come
in
here
and
they
they
bring
it,
they
all
come
and
they
justify
their
request.
I
think
at
this.
Under
this
circumstance,
you've
we've
got
to
own
here.
That
one
is
in
the
coroner's
office
is
one
one
is
in
the
DA's
office.
I
think
we
can
address
those
issues
by
utilizing.
My
recommendation
would
be
to
since
it
before
we
take
on
a
new
position.
G
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
more
information,
a
little
more
understanding
that
the
you
can
call
it
justification.
You
can
call
it
just
more
information,
solidifying
or
supporting
the
need
that
we
need
to
do
that.
I,
don't
think
we
have
it
today.
The
only
thing
I
can
do
is
ask
the
finance
director
or
the
city
manager
why
it
wasn't
approved,
but
it's
been
requesting.
I
have
still
have
a
lot
of
questions.
G
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
that
that
we
make
a
decision
to
help
these
departments
and
move
forward
with
some
personnel
on
the
part-time
or
the
temporary
positions,
and
that
would
be
my
recommendation
is
to
move
forward
on
a
temporary
to
approve
the
temporary
positions
that
will
be
looked
at.
Our
auditor
will
come
back,
take
a
look
at
the
information
and
if,
if
it's
deemed
necessary
during
midterm
or
mid-year,
then
we
can
come
back
and
fill
that
position
on
a
permanent
basis.
G
But
I
think
we
owe
it
to
all
the
departments
and
what
we're
dealing
with
and
how
we're
going
about
this.
Based
on
the
conversation
that
we've
had
at
the
table
with
all
the
department
heads
I,
just
think
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
justify
that
we're
taking
these
things
on
and
that
there
is
a
true
need
out
there.
And
the
only
way
to
do
that
is
to
is
to
have
the
information
from
our
auditor.
E
G
F
E
G
I
I
will
I
will
yield
to
further
conversation
on
the
part-time.
Temporary
I
would
like
to
hear
our
finance
department
and
the
administration
address
that
how
how
they
view
it.
I
guess
my
motion
is
that
we're
going
to
provide
the
request
has
been
made
for
some
assistance
and
need
in
those
departments-
okay,
I'm
willing
to
give
that
today,
but
I'm
asking
for
more
information
from
our
auditor
to
solidify.
G
G
E
F
So
whether
you
add
a
position
full-time
permanently
to
the
coroner's
office
or
do
it
a
full-time
position
temporarily,
the
cost
would
be
the
same.
But
the
item
number.
What
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
item
number
five.
It
wasn't
alternative
put
on
the
app
delete
list
by
councillor
Garrett
in
in,
in
the
event
that
the
coroner's
office
did
not
get
approved
for
a
new
full
time,
deputy
coroner
that
his
wages
would
be
increased
for
a
permanent
part-time
deputy
coroner
position
at
29
hours
a
week.
F
G
F
F
B
L
L
L
We've
heard
that
there's
an
anticipated
uptick
ever-so-slightly
and
perhaps
in
the
tax
tax
receipts,
we
did
see
an
increase
in
sales
tax.
We
saw
some
increase
in
some
licensing
fees,
but
we
don't
know
yet
that
those
are
going
to
be
sustainable
and
they're
going
to
reappear
year
after
year,
right
now,
they're
kind
of
a
blip
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
give
credence
to
what
councilor
Davis
was
saying.
I
understand
what
y'all
are
dealing
with.
L
E
You
mr.
mayor
I
had
told
a
number
of
people,
as
we've
been
talking
about
this
budget,
that
none
of
our
department
heads
that
came
to
us
brought
us
frivolous
requests.
They
all
brought
us
requests
that
are
necessary
and
needed,
and
if
money
were
no
object,
we
would
go
there.
So,
let's
go
to
Mayor
Pro
Tem.
B
It's
me
on
the
sandwiches
thing,
but,
however,
you
know
the
corner
has
no
control
over
the
number
bodies.
He
has
to
pick
up
and
I.
Have
this
turn
on
TV
first
thing
morning
and
there's
another
shooting
stabbing
another
body
to
do
kicked
up
and
I
think
the
corner
has
been
very
fruitful
in
allocating
funds
in
his
office.
It's
saving
us,
let
it
on
Oh.
B
Last
year
he's
stuck
when
they
started
doing
the
cremations
then
found
a
lot
of
savings
so
well.
I
know
we
have
to
be
careful
about
getting
that
fund
else,
but
the
services
happily
provided
they
have
to
be
provided,
and
you
don't
know,
work
you're,
trusting
employees,
something
that
was
all
the
time.
B
K
K
J
E
K
F
F
E
F
E
F
K
E
G
Thank
you,
ma'am
and
I'm.
Okay
with
the
car,
I
think
I.
Think
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that
I'd
like
to
ask
that
to
be
on
the
lease
plan.
If
we
do
that,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
updating
this
vehicle
there,
but
I
do
think.
Look
you
know,
madam
mayor
pro-tem,
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
you
know
the
way
I
view
the
the
mortality
rate
in
Columbus
were
the
homicides
are
not
some
of
this
stuff
can
be
looked
at
as
anomaly
I
know.
There's
an
average
we've
had
an
average
over
the
years.
G
I
mean
that
can
be
determined.
We've
had
a
year
or
two
that's
been
a
little
different
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
going
to
change
next
year
or
not
I,
don't
know
if
it's
gonna
change
into
this
year
we
don't
know
I,
don't
expect
those
kind
of
things
to
just
continue
to
increase
off
the
charts.
I
do
question
the
mortality
rate
I,
look
at
our
populous
being
the
same.
G
Populous
is
an
odd
not
increasing
in
Columbus
Georgia,
and
they
say
people
are
living
longer,
so
I
mean
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
more
information
of
justifying
a
need,
because
here's
I
just
went
through
a
list.
How
we've
been
how
we've
been
working
today
and
and
the
finance
director
has
led
us
and
understanding
how
these
funds
are
being
utilized.
This
is
a
reoccurring,
expense.
That's
why
I'm
asking
for
justification.
G
That's
the
best
word
I,
believe
everybody
involved
I
just
think
it's
Azzam
the
responsibility
that
I've
been
given
that
if
I
see
that
and
I
can
justify
it,
I
can
I
can
sign
off
on
a
full-time
position.
That's
increasing
the
size
of
our
government.
That's
a
reoccurring!
Expenditure
I'm!
Okay,
with
that
I
can't
say
that
at
this
table
of
day,
so
that's
what
I'm!
That's.
Why
I'm
making
my
recommendation
I
will
approve
the
vehicle
I'll
give
my
vote
on
that.
G
I
would
guess
that
the
part-time,
if
it's
needed
part-time,
the
only
caveat
there
if
it
comes
back
and
it's
the
information
says
that
we're
you
know
we
don't
need
to
increase.
Then
then,
you've
you've
filled
that
position
of
part-time
I.
Don't
you
know
I'm
willing
to
meet
halfway
and
make
that
a
part-time
position
to
to
get
some
help
over
there
and
continue
to
look
at
this
matter
and
work
with
the
coroner
on
it.
I
can
I
can
agree
to
that.
That
way,
it
wouldn't
be.
G
G
G
E
G
G
E
G
E
F
That
would
be
no
ma'am
the
the
amount
that
semester
here
has
already
taken
into
consideration,
where
he
currently
has
budgeted
for
wages,
which
is
the
eighteen
thousand.
So
this
would
be
in
addition
to
the
current
amount,
that's
budgeted
in
order
to
find
the
driver
pool
that
he
currently
has
and
to
also
find
a
corner,
a
part-time
corner
at
twenty
nine
hours
a
week.
C
K
L
E
B
E
B
E
D
D
F
D
F
You
fund
the
part-time
now
right,
the
that's
correct
because
he
would
have
used
some
of
those
finds
throughout
FY
22.2,
where
we
would
be
making
that
change
from
part-time
to
full-time
so
that
full
value
would
not
be
there.
That's
correct,
he
would
have.
You
know,
used
some
of
that
funding
to
pay
wages.
F
E
N
B
B
E
E
E
E
N
F
E
N
E
N
F
F
E
F
F
J
F
Okay,
next
item
on
the
list
is
item
number
seven
added
by
Councillor
Woodson
for
parks
and
recreations.
This
is
to
reclassify
three
rec
center
leader
positions:
g22
therapeutic
recreation
aides
as
G
finds.
The
costs
of
these
reclassifications
is
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
sixteen,
and
that
is
point
zero.
One
day's
impact
to
the
fund
balance.
O
E
F
Five
number
eight
was
added
by
councillor
Alan,
it's
for
recorders
court.
This
is
that
additional
part-time
wages
for
two
additional
weekly
court
sessions
on
Thursdays
the
amount
for
these
sessions
is
sixteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
four
dollars.
That's
a
point:
zero
three
impact
to
the
reduction
to
the
fund
balance.
We.
D
Thank
You,
chair
I,
think
I
mentioned
earlier.
As
the
quarters
court
committee
met
with
the
judges,
judge,
hunter
and
Clerk
I
think
I
mentioned
that
this
would
generate
more
revenue
and
this
cost
would
be
covered
by
that.
So
I
think
they
were
gonna
open
up.
Some
addition
utilize,
the
the
second
courtroom
in
a
more
productive
manner
and
would
cover
the
cost
that
we're
going
to
be
added
to
the
budget
and.
G
E
M
E
I
think
part
of
one
of
the
things
that
we
discovered
was
for
the
first
time
they
all
sat
down
and
talked
about
their
their
responsibilities
and
how
you
do
this
and
what
would
make
it
better
and
easier.
And
that's
what
we
see
here
so
item
number
eight
is
before
you
all.
Those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
F
E
F
Item
number
ten
was
added
to
the
add
delete
list
by
councillor
Garrett.
This
is
for
the
Superior
Court
judges.
This
is
to
increase
the
annual
supplements
for
the
seven
judicial
assistance
by
five
thousand
dollars.
That
makes
it
a
total
of
ten
thousand
dollars
that
they'll
receive
as
an
annual
supplement
from
the
city.
The
amount
of
this
addition
is
thirty,
seven
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars
and
it
has
a
point:
zero,
seven
reduction
to
the
fund
balance
days
and
this.
E
F
Next
item
on
the
list
is
item
number
12.
This
is
this
was
added
to
the
list
by
councillor
Woodson
it's
for
the
public
defender's
office.
This
is
to
provide
career
ladder,
adjustment
funding
for
six
investigators
so
that
they
may
go
from
grade
16
to
17
and
to
also
reclassify
an
investigator
grade,
16
II
to
an
investigator
supervisor
grade
19.
A
the
cost
of
these
adjustments
is
sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
seventy
two
dollars
and
it
has
a
point:
zero,
three
impact
on
Sundays,
fine
balance,
day's.
F
Next
item
on
the
list
is
for
the
District
Attorney's
Office.
This
was
placed
on
the
list
by
councilor
Allen.
This
is
to
provide
funding
for
part-time
wages
for
two
administrative
clerks
grade
11
at
20
hours
a
week.
The
cost
is
31,000
$34
and
it
has
a
point:
zero,
six
impact
to
the
fund
balance
days.
G
G
My
preference
would
be
again
to
look
at
this
on
a
part-time
basis
and
then
have
some
further
information
to
to
justify
the
the
ongoing
reoccurring
expenses.
You
know
and
keep
in
mind,
I
mean
we've
made
a
lot
of
decisions
in
the
past.
I
just
want
to
add
this
too.
We
made
a
lot
of
decisions
in
the
past
based
on
departments
telling
us
what
their
needs
are,
but
it
just
seems
to
be
kind
of
stepping
up
every
year
that
we
go
through.
G
So
you
know,
and
at
the
same
time,
based
on
decisions
we've
made,
such
as
the
hundred
officers
that
we
talked
about,
there
was
an
intense
need,
just
because
of
we
were
adding
on
all
those
who
needed
support,
but
we're
not
doing
that.
We
don't
have
that
so
again,
I'm
not
saying
that
there's
not
a
need
here.
I
just
want
to
be
consistent
with
my
decisions,
and
it
would
be
the
same
as
with
the
the
coroner's
office.
G
G
E
Those
opposed
motion
carries
and
I
see.
The
district
attorney
is
in
the
off
in
the
auditorium
of
where,
wherever
you
are
in
the
audience,
we
have
already
dealt
with
item
number
14,
which
was
to
wreak
the
reclassification.
We
did
that
before
you
got
here
so
I
want
you
to
know
that
we're
not
just
skipping
it
just
to
skip
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
K
E
P
K
G
Let
me
I'm,
not
I,
won't
be
careful
and
using
the
word
on
it,
I
guess
you
know.
If
you
want
to
look
at
that
kind
of
broad
yeah,
it
would
be
somewhat
of
an
audit.
It's
just.
It
would
be
additional
information
confirming
I,
don't
have
a
problem
so
to
speak.
You
know
when
you
talk
about
audit.
Sometimes
you,
the
term
waste
abuse
and
fraud
comes
to
mind.
There's
none!
That's
that's
not
what
we're
talking
more
on
the
performance
side,
I
guess
and
it's
just
justifying
with
with
additional
information.
That's
all.
G
F
E
F
F
F
F
E
F
F
E
F
F
Need
to
make
an
amendment
to
us
on
the
list.
So
that's
what
was
currently
on
the
list
is
one
part-time,
administrative
clerk,
g9
position
at
25
hours
a
week
and
as
I
understand
it,
the
clerk
is
now
requesting
that
that
be
a
g7
support
clerk
at
25
hours
a
week
and
that
cost
is
fifteen
thousand
nine
hundred
and
twenty
six
dollars.
So.
F
F
If
I
may,
okay,
so
the
conversation
that
I
have
with
the
clerk
as
far
as
what
she
would
desire
council
to
approve
would
be
the
addition
of
the
one
part-time
support
clerk
position
at
twenty
five
hours
a
week,
but
then
to
also
make
a
change
to
item
number
21,
which
is
reclassifying
the
part-time
administrative
secretary
g10
a
to
a
deputy
clerk
Pro
Tem
g12c,
as
in
Edward
instead
of
C.
Okay,.
M
B
Like
to
say
that
we
met
with
a
circle
council,
along
with
the
HR
Director
and
it
assistance
to
the
attorney-
and
there
was
some
question
about
chain-
do
the
title
of
the
administrative
secretary
deputy
clerk
protein,
and
they
were
very
satisfied
with
that
because
of
the
description,
the
job
description,
that
the
person
in
that
position
will
be
doing
very
appropriate
to
change
it
to
definite
from
Tennessee.
E
M
N
F
F
G
Davis
motion
I
just
want
to
say
again
for
the
public
say
and
all
those
watching
the
administration
of
recorders
court
and
the
corporate
counsel
is
under
this
body.
It's
under
counsel
and
I
already
mentioned
about
the
restructuring
and
he's
made
a
lot
of
changes
and
just
kind
of
getting
things
where
they
need
to
be
so
again.
I
know
we
have
a
committee
that
a
small
group
here,
a
small
group
quarters
Court-
that's
been
really
close
to
it.
E
B
J
F
Next
item
is
item
number
21,
also
added
by
councillor
Barnes
as
amended,
it
was
to
reclassify
the
part-time
administrative
secretary
GTA
to
a
deputy
clerk
Pro
Tem
g12c,
as
in
Edward.
The
cost
is
four
thousand
two
hundred
and
eighty
six
dollars.
It
has
point
zero
nine
impact
to
the
fund
balance
Reserve
days.
E
E
F
And
so
the
last
item
in
the
general
fund
is
item
number
24.
Oh
no,
I'm,
sorry,
not
last
at
last
I've
on
this
sheet.
Here
it
had
it
by
councillor
Huff.
It's
for
juvenile
court
is
to
reclassify
a
custody
investigator
grade,
13
J
to
a
juvenile
court
director
assistant
at
grade
16
G.
The
cost
is
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
forty-nine
dollars
and
as
a
point,
zero
one
impact
to
the
fund
balance,
reserves,
mushrooms,.
E
F
E
J
F
F
F
20C
being
reclassified
to
a
grade,
22
a
and
then
there
were
three
deputy
tax
commissioner
positions:
gray,
18,
a
being
reclassified
to
a
grade
20,
a
the
cost
of
these
four
reclassifications
is
22,000,
I'm,
sorry,
twenty
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
four
dollars.
It
has
a
point:
zero,
five
impact
to
the
fund,
balance,
reserves
and.
J
F
C
F
Where
we
are
right
now
is
sixty
seven
point:
four
three
days
fund
balance
reserves
moving
on
to
the
other
Local
Option
Sales
Tax
Fund,
which
is
the
third
page
to
item
number
three.
This
was
added
by
councilor.
Davis
is
for
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
it
is
to
purchase
eleven
pursuit
vehicles
I'm
using
the
GMA
leasing
program.
The
annual
lease
amount
is
was
listed
there
and
the
estimated
amount
is
one
hundred
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars.
It
would
have
a
right
to
to
impact
to
the
fund
balance
reserves
for
the
next
five
years.
E
E
F
E
K
F
K
J
F
E
E
F
Next
item
item
number
four
is
also
added
by
councillor
Davis
for
the
Sheriff's
Office.
It
is
the
purchase
of
four
pursuit
Tahoes
through
the
GMA
leasing
program.
The
annually
sing
amount
listed
here
is
fifty
thousand
nine
hundred

fifty

has
a
point.
One
zero
impacted
the

for

F
Item
number
five
was
added
to
the
delete
list
by
councillor.
Barnes
is
for
the
police

The
annual

is
estimated
at

impact
to
the

Councillor.
J
F
F
E
F
E
Have
a
motion
to
approve
as
their
second
any
discussion,
those
in
favor
say
aye.
Any
opposed
I
do
want
to
say
that
at
this
point,
I
think
that
what
we
have
just
done
with
the
old
lost
account
funds
is
exactly
what
the
Olas
was
put
into
place
to
do
and
that
is
to
fund
the
needs
of
our
public
safety
departments
and
I
know
that
you
know
when
you
say:
we've
approved
45
vehicles
here
today,
yeah
I
and
our
public
safety
departments
need
those
in
order
to
do
their
job.
E
G
Please-
and
you
don't
have
to
do
any
time
soon,
but
at
some
point
I'd
like
to
come
back
and
just
kind
of
get
an
update
on
the
lease
program
in
general
that
we've
been
utilizing
just
you
know,
and
in
total,
how
it's
working
out
and
there's
a
report
to
Council
on
that.
Okay
and
any
any
any
foresight
to
the
future.
Involving
this
plan.
G
F
Okay,
so
a
quick
recap
here,
we
started
out
at
sixty
nine
point,
one
two
Reserve
days.
Twenty
eight
point,
four
four
of
that
was
for
the
general
fine
forty
point,
six
eight
of
that
was
for
the
Olas
fine.
They
saw
what
council
has
approved
today.
We
are
at
sixty
five
point:
seven,
nine
days,
twenty
six
point:
seven
five
for
the
general
fine
and
thirty
nine
point:
zero.
Four
for
the
Olas.
E
F
F
So
on
the
last
page
here
just
addressing
the
last
two
items,
which
is
for
the
other
funds
item
number
one
is
the
staff
addition
for
non-departmental.
It
is
to
add
film
funding
of
five
hundred
thousand
using
Economic
Development
Fund
reserves
for
that
film
phone
usage-
and
this
is
just
allocating
within
the
budget.
Five
hundred
thousand
reserves
the
film
fine
and
obviously
it
could
come
back
to
counsel
at
any
point
for
approval.
But
this
is
just
adding
the
fines
within
the
budget,
and
this.
E
F
Correct
we
have
point
five
zero
Mills
that
we
collect
for
economic
development
point
two
five
Mills
is
allocated
to
the
development
authority.
0.25
Mills
is
kept
by
the
city
out
of
our
0.25
Mills.
This
500,000
would
be
from
that
and
we
probably
have
reserves
in
that
fund
of
about
two
hundred
2.4
million
dollars
in
addition
to
what
we
included
in
the
budget.
E
L
One
final
note:
on
the
on
the
reserve
portion
from
the
economic
development
funding.
We
spent
about
a
little
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
repay
the
obligation
to
NCR
and
Blue
Cross,
and
we
collect
about
1.2
something.
So
it's
about
just
under
five
hundred
thousand.
It
accrues
each
year,
so
it'll
take
about
a
year
to
replenish
this
amount.
It's
not
lost
and
gone
forever.
We
should
replenish
it
we're
just
within
the
next
within
the
next
fiscal
year.
G
Thank
you,
madam
budget
chair,
mr.
city
manager.
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you,
you
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
with
with
this
fun.
I
think
everybody
I
call
it
you've
heard
me,
call
the
jobs
fun
I
mean
it
was
I.
Think
I
gave
a
little
historical
aspect
of
how
it
was
put
together.
Many
years
ago
we
just
hadn't
utilized
it
and,
and
basically
the
you
know,
you
showed
me
jobs
off,
write
you
a
check.
You
know
it's
kind
of
like
you,
produce
right
check,
so
I
think.
G
As
far
as
being
consistent
here
this
request,
when
you
heard
me
talk
about
an
MoU
earlier,
this
request
is
actually
you
have
to
produce.
You
have
to
show
something
you
have
to
put
something
on
the
table
and
I.
Think
that's
what
they're
doing
here.
We've
got
our
first
film,
that's
what
they're
doing
and
that's
why
this
is
taxpayers
dollars
now
this
is
coming
out
of
its
economic
development,
but
it's
all
for
property
taxes,
and
that
goes
out
there.
G
A
disturb
elip
menteur
that
that
we
can
show
that
that
there's
actually
a
product
being
produced
that
that
there's
production
there.
This
certainly
does
that
it
meets
that
qualification.
I
think
sometimes,
there's
requests
that
come
that
are
kind
of
in
the
category
of
speculation.
I,
don't
see
that
here,
I
think
there's.
Actually
some
production
and
you'll
see
jobs,
you'll,
see
economic
development
and
I
think
our
terms
would
be
coincided
with
with
with
the
use
of
that
that
fund,
so
looking
forward
to
good
things
happen
in
here.
K
I
E
J
B
E
G
G
What
I
call
the
job
fund
I,
think
you
know,
and
it
eventually
you
know
there
may
be
a
different
body,
a
leadership
and
they
may
have
a
different
definition
of
it.
I
just
think
it's
a
you
know,
mission
statement
comes
to
my
mind,
but
if
we
do
that,
I
think
that
will
be
good,
so
it
can
be
used
on
into
the
future,
and
everybody
in
standing
will
all
be
on
the
same
page.
I
think.
L
It's
a
great
idea.
You
know
we
probably
include
the
development
authority
in
that
conversation
because,
as
I
recall,
that
second
quarter
of
MIL
was
placed
for
them
to
access
upon
receiving
our
permission
to
utilize
it,
and
it
was
exactly,
as
you
pointed
out,
to
be
sort
of
a
jobs
fund.
Anything
that
was
going
to
help
generate
jobs
for
this
region
is
what
it
would
qualify.
So
I
think
it's
great
idea.
Well,
we'll
get
them
in
here.
Maybe
the
work
session
just
have
that
conversation.
F
The
last
item
on
the
list
is
item
number
six
is
a
staff
addition
is
to
add
funds
for
the
Mercer
project,
and
this
was
council.
Support
was
approved
as
a
part
of
resolution.
44
18.
The
allocation
for
this
year
is
one
hundred
thousand
and
it'll
be
a
hundred
thousand
allocation
for
the
next
four
years.
In
addition
to
FY
20,
we.
E
E
D
Council
council
has
been
requested,
I
may
need
some
help
on
the
numbers
from
the
mayor
on
this,
but
counsel
has
been
requested
to
consider
the
National
infantry
museums,
funding
of
a
road
for
some
property
that
they're
looking
to
develop
out
there.
So
far,
the
only
thing
that
we
have
helped
in
with
is
donating
the
land,
so
they've
asked
our
assistance
in
providing
a
road
out
there
I
understand
the
road
is
in
the
neighborhood
of
400,000.
D
What
what
we
some
of
us
have
talked
about
is
taking
this
out
of
the
our
portion
of
the
economic
development
quarter
mil
as
said
earlier,
it
does
replenish,
so
we
would
recoup
the
funds
at
some
point,
but
it
would
be
an
added
benefit
to
the
empty
museum
and
allow
them
to
develop
the
property
as
they
move
forward.
Well,.
E
L
I
was
just
gonna
I'm,
just
gonna
back
up
counselor
Alan
on
his
request,
I.
He
he
and
I
had
had
a
conversation
about
this.
He
was
asking
about
that
road
and
the
fact
that
it
does
resonate
that
we've
got.
You
know
a
USA
Today
ranked
at
the
number
one
free
museum
on
the
planet
in
our
backyard,
and
it
is
largely
well
almost
entirely
been
membership
driven
and
they
long
asked
I
think
for
us
to
help
with
some
some
infrastructure
roads
in
the
interior
of
that
property.
L
So
they
could
they've
got
people
interested
in
buying
and
leasing
that
property,
so
they
can
generate
retail
and
restaurant
and
commercial
opportunities,
and
so
when
councilor
and
Alan
and
I
were
talking
about,
I
did
make
mention
of
this
fund
because
it
is
at
its
core
designed
to
generate
jobs
and
what
they
were
talking
about
with
that
road.
Our
portion
of
it
was
going
to
be
her
I
had
heard
the
400
to
500
thousand,
but
I
think
the
total
road
was
going
to
be
closer
to
1.5
or
two
million
dollars.
L
D-O-T
was
going
to
take
on
the
rest
of
that.
So
we
were
talking
about
how
we,
it
could
be
funded,
and
we
mentioned
this
I
think
we
just
need
to
again.
It
falls
in
line
with
what
councilor
Davis
was
talking
about.
Just
have
that
conversation
with
the
chamber
and
make
sure
that
it's
a
it's
a
proper
use
for
those
funds.
So.
I
I
D
L
C
G
I
feel
like
I
just
got
thrown
a
Berlin
there
curveball,
you
know
there
just
dropped
off
the
plate,
but
I
thought
we
were
just
clear
in
the
conversation
that
we
were
having
I
I
would
look
I
haven't
been
approached
by
anybody
on
this
matter.
I
think
it's
a
new
subject,
a
new
topic
I've.
Even
it
sounds
like
some
other
people
haven't
heard
either,
but
I
would
first
just
to
what
I'm
hearing
that's
that's
a
totally
inappropriate
use
for
this
money.
Totally
inappropriate
doesn't
align
up.
G
I
can
I
can
name
a
number
of
situations,
we're
talking
about
infrastructure,
we're
talking
about
an
access
road
as
what
we're
talking
about
we're,
not
talking
about
jobs.
Okay,
so
I'd
have
a
hard
time
justifying
that
if
we
want
to
talk
about
an
infrastructure,
I
think
we've
already
approved
funding
for
this
road.
If
I'm
not
mistake
over
a
million
dollars,
I
believe.
N
Q
G
If
there
are
funds
appropriate
for
this
and
if
that's
deemed
necessary
I
go
back
to
the
same
Midland
conversation
we
had
about
infrastructure
there.
It's
the
same
thing.
I
think
you
would
either
have
to
look
at
discretionary
funds
from
the
T
transportation
spots
at
T
spots
or
lost
or
infrastructure
money.
That's
what
it
is,
or
the
Development
Authority
can
borrow,
take
out
bonds
if
they
really
want
the
road
in,
but
I
would
I
would
really
caution
this
council
in
thinking
in
that
direction.
G
E
Would
remind
the
council
that
when
we
this
was
years
ago,
ten
years
ago,
when
the
museum
was
being
developed
and
talked
about,
one
of
the
things
they
talked
about
was
having
an
area
with
retail
shops
around
there
and
that's
where
they
that's
what
they
want
to
put
around
this
particular
Road.
And
if
they
put
those
retail
shops
in
there,
it
would
generate
jobs
and
it
would
generate
sales
tax
for
the
city.
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
I
think
that
this
may
be.
That
may
be
an
appropriate
a
place
to
look
at
some
money.
I
You
know
one
thought
would
be
you
can
you
can
make
that
decision
any
time
and
then
to
give
a
meeting
and
so
I
don't
know
that
it
necessarily
has
to
be
budgeted.
It's
just
a
thought,
because
those
sons
are
always
available,
that
portion
of
the
economic
development
funded
portion
that
we
retain
internally,
and
so
just
if
you
don't
really
want
to
debate
it
today,
the
money
is
always
there
and
always
available,
and
you
can
do
it
at
any
meeting.
So
just
at
all.
I
G
G
E
F
That
concludes
the
ad
delete
list.
The
only
items
that
I
like
to
make
mention
of
is
you'll
see
in
the
paper
next
Tuesday
advertisement
for
the
budget
as
amended
by
Council
and
a
notice
for
the
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights,
the
first
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
hearing
will
be
June
4th
at
9
a.m.
the
second
taxpayer.
Bill
of
Rights
hearing
would
be
June
4th
at
6:00
p.m.
as
part
of
the
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting.
Also
on
June
4th
this
Alexander.
E
E
F
So
that's
June
4th.
It
will
also
have
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
ordinance
on
that
day.
Council
can
can
make
additional
changes
on
Kappa,
first
reading
to
the
budget
ordinance
and
then
we'll
advertise
our
five-year
history
as
far
as
the
tax
millage
and
advertise
our
third
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
hearing,
which
will
be
held,
June
11th
at
9
a.m.
which
is
also
a
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
we'll
at
that
time
adopt
the
budget.
F
F
F
E
Want
to
take
the
this
opportunity
to
thank
miss
Alexander
and
her
staff.
You
guys
have
were
not
surprised
that
you
have
done
a
terrific
job.
You
always
do,
but
we
I
think
with
the
information
that
you
have
provided
us
and
continued
to
provide
us
has
made
our
job
a
lot
easier.
I
do
want
to
also
thank
mr.
city
manager
and
his
staff
and
the
Clerk
of
Council
and
her
staff
for
keeping
up
with
all
of
all
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
up
here.
Anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order.
B
E
E
R
E
E
E
N
E
The
nine
o'clock
is
a
hearing
for
the
taxpayer.
Bill
of
Rights,
our
finance
director
and
city
manager
will
be
here.
You
are
invited
to
come
councilors.
If
you
wish
to
do
that,
to
hear
what
the
conversation
is
and
then
at
5:30
on
June
the
4th,
we
will
have
a
call
regular
council
meeting,
starting
at
5:30
and
at
6
o'clock.
We
will
move
into
a
the
second
taxpayer
Bill
of
right
hearing,
that's
correct,
okay
and
then
on
the
11th.
E
E
N
N
E
Yeah,
the
June
25th
meeting
has
been
cancelled,
so
anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order.
I
will
tell
you
that
the
Northside
high
school
baseball
team
is
on
its
way
to
Rome
Georgia
to
play
for
the
state
championship.
So
if
you
don't
have
anything
to
do
this
afternoon,
it
doesn't
take
long
to
get
to
Rome
and
a
couple
of
hours
and
you
can
watch
them
win
the
state
championship.
We
hope
so
anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order.
If
not
meeting
is
adjourned.
I'm.
Sorry.
