No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).

Letting
you
know
that
what
we
passed
out
were
the
responses
to
the
requests
from
Council
from
the
May
1st
meeting
Council
wanted
a
schedule
wanted
us
to
schedule
all
the
departments
with
new
positions.
Our
reclassification
request
and
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
those
all
of
those
departments
are
listed
on
the
schedule.
The
schedule
is,
is
the
next
page
in
the
packet.
B
We
also
wanted
a
current
copy
of
the
pace
scale
as
well
as
details
for
the
position
changes
that's
attached
in
the
packet
as
attachment
a
you
also
wanted
information
related
to
the
e-911
prepaid
wireless
refund
that
was
administered
by
the
Department
of
Revenue.
We've
included
a
letter
from
the
Commissioner
in
the
packet
explaining
that
refund.
B
You
also
requested
counsel
also
requested
the
FY
18
+
FY
19
breakdown
for
CDBG
funds,
that's
included
in
the
packet
as
attachment
C
and
the
capital
outlay
distribution
percentages
for
Oh
lost
public
safety
funds
that
is
included
in
the
packet
as
attachment
D.
The
thumb
drive
that
we
passed
out
today.
The
little
thumb
drive
that
contains
all
the
presentations
related
to
the
garbage
trucks.
It
was
too
much
to
print
it's
like
over.
200
pages,
and
so
we
put
all
of
those
documents
on
the
thumb
drive
and
you
can
take
that
with
you.
B
D
E
Think
I've
been
asked
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
and
I'll
be
happy
to
do
them,
but
whichever
agenda,
whichever
item
y'all,
want
to
talk
about
first
and
I,
don't
know,
did
you
want
to
talk
some
about
the
NCR
thing
before
me?
How
do
you
all
want
to
do
that
right?
We've
got.
We've
got
a
request
for
an
additional
budget
item
not
happy
to
cover.
If
you
want
to
do
that
first
and
then
we
can
go
in
the
NCR,
we
do
it.
Vice-Versa,
that's.
F
There
were
a
couple
questions
related
to
the
NCR
and
I
wanted
to
just
provide
the
financial
information
and
then
of
the
Development
Authority
can
talk
about
the
specifics
of
the
contract
between
the
development
authority
and
NCR.
The
city's
agreement
was
an
intergovernmental
agreement
with
the
development
authority,
and
that
was
done
in
2009,
a
resolution
to
3409
our
annual
payments
at
that
time
for
seven
million
four
hundred
and
forty
foot
four
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
was
nine
hundred
and
forty-eight
thousand
dollars
per
year
that
started
in
FY
11.
F
So
we
made
payments
of
948
from
FY
11
to
FY
15,
and
this
was
to
be
a
ten
year
agreement
for
that
line
of
credit
for
7.4
million
the
opportunity
for
Blue
Cross,
Blue
Shield
came
about
for
an
additional
800
jobs
and
that
was
presented
in
October
of
2014.
So
at
that
time
the
line
of
credit
that
we
have
was
refinanced.
F
It
had
four
point:
seven
million
dollars
remaining
on
that
line
of
credit,
the
development
authorities
line
of
credit,
and
the
request
was
to
extend
the
remaining
five
years
to
10
years
and
add
in
the
2.3
million
dollars
for
the
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
commitment,
which
then
refinance
the
payment
for
ten
years
to
$800,000.
So
the
NCR
payment
that
we
make
each
year
is
really
the
repayment
on
this
line
of
credit
that
was
extended
on
refinance
really
for
a
10-year
period
after
the
first
five
years
of
NCR.
F
So
when
you
see
that
item
in
the
budget
related
to
NCR
BlueCross
BlueShield
payment,
it
is
a
commitment
that
was
made
on
that
intergovernmental
agreement.
So
I
think
there
were
some
questions
about.
Why
are
we
still
paying
on
NCR
if
NCR's
leaving
town
and
that's
really?
The
reason
is
it's
a
commitment
that
was
made
between
the
city
and
the
development
authority.
G
E
I
can't
answer
that
the
the
only
obligation
that
they
had
was
an
employee,
a
full-time,
equivalent,
employee,
number
and
I
think
the
number
that
they
had
projected
was
872
employees.
When
we
do
these
agreements,
we
typically
follow
the
same
principles
that
the
state
of
Georgia
does
in
their
incentive
program,
and
they
at
the
time
were
saying
70%.
You
have
to
meet
70%
of
your
employment
projection
by
a
specified
date
and
I.
Think
in
this
case
it
was
December,
the
31st
of
2014
and
so
on.
By
that
December
31st
2014,
we
received
a
letter
from
them.
E
Explaining
that
they
had
met
83%
of
I
believe
was
83
percent.
Is
that
right,
Brian?
Yet
so
83
percent
of
their
projected
employee
number,
and
so
that
was
the
only
requirement
that
they
had
to
meet,
was
hire
the
right
number
higher
than
70
percent
of
the
number
of
people
that
you
said
we
will
hire.
They
prove
that
they
had
hired
83
percent
of
that
number.
So
they
met
all
the
qualifications
that
they
had
to
meet
to
avoid
any
sort
of
callbacks
on
that
particular
project
and
I.
G
G
And
I
do
want
to
do.
I
want
to
say
that
I
believe
that
our
development
authority
has
done
whatever
was
necessary
to
make
sure
that
NCR
did
what
they
were
obligated
to
do
or
whatever.
This
is
not
something
that
those
people
who
have
said
to
me.
Well,
why
didn't
the
Development
Authority
do
something
well,
I'm,
not
sure
there
was
anything
the
development
authority
could
have
done
in
that
situation
and
and
I
believe
that
you
know
you
guys
have
done
what
needed
to
be
done
in
the
manner
that
it
ought.
It
should
have
been
done.
A
H
E
And
obviously,
you
know
they'll
meet
that
they'll
get
those
incentives
as
long
as
they're
here
I
mean
they,
they
apply
the
year-to-year
and
so
as
long
as
they're.
Here
they
get
those
incentives.
There's
there's
not
any
sort
of
provision
for
those
for
those
having
to
be
you
know
they
could
be
cut
off.
I
guess
is
how
now.
A
E
What
was
the,
what
was
the
lease
term?
The
lease
terms
are,
it's
there.
They
they
in
theory
and
again,
we
might
get
Rob
McKenna
up
here
to
explain
the
the
bond
process,
but
they
essentially
own
the
buildings
and
we
we
as
a
development,
officially
legally
owned
it.
They
lease
it
back.
In
this
case,
their
bank
is
the
bondholder
and
they're
paying
for
that,
and
they're
still
obligated
to
continue
to
pay
those
bonds,
as
anybody
else
with
a
mortgage
would
right.
E
A
I
E
A
E
Sentiment-
and
you
know
we-
we
obviously
would
love
to
have
had
a
different
outcome
problem.
But,
okay,
you
know
that
is
the
the
nature
of
this
game.
A
little
bit
and
I
say
this
game.
This
business
is
probably
a
better
word
if
we
want
to
be
in
this
game
of
trying
to
draw
people
to
Columbus,
sadly
enough,
it's
a
very
competitive
I.
E
Of
time
it's
just
a
fixed
number,
they
had.
You
know
that
it's
into
the
the
pretty
lengthy
project
agreement,
I
would
hesitate
to
say.
Was
there
a
required
maintenance
of
that
over
a
period
of
time?
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
be
happy
to
get
you
a
copy
of
the
project
agreement
and
we
could
dig
into
it
and
get
back
with
you
with
an
that's
on
that
all.
A
E
E
The
other
request,
if
y'all
remember
when
General
Wesley
was
at
Fort
Benning.
He
was
really
involved
in
in
a
lot
of
what
is
becoming
the
futures
command
of
the
army
and
what
we
have
a
real
opportunity
to
do
and
what
he
was
encouraging
us
to
do
was
look
at
ways
that
we
could
take
advantage
of
the
robotics
issues
that
are
that
are
surrounding
Fort
Benning
and
that
futures
command
has
several
cross-functional
teams,
two
of
which
are
housed
at
Fort
Benning,
that
being
soldier
lethality
and
the
other
one
is.
The
autonomous
vehicle
runs.
J
Davis
had
a
follow-up
bubbly
should
I
apologize,
mister
character,
I
didn't
I,
didn't
know,
you
were
gonna
jump
right
into
it.
I
thought
I
thought
your
your
attorney
or
somebody
else
was
going
to
continue
to
speak.
Just
a
couple
questions
on
the
on
the
the
872
you
mentioned,
the
the
agreement
dealt
with
872,
full-time,
correct
employees,
okay
and-
and
you
said,
you'll
get
us
a
copy
of
that
that
agreement
right
sure
and
it
is
public
information,
we're.
J
J
E
E
E
E
E
Are
you
going
out
and
trying
to
bring
people
here?
This
is
an
opportunity
to
grow
an
industry,
much
like
we're
trying
to
do
in
the
film
industry,
but
we're
trying
to
do
it
around
robotics
and
around
what
for
bidding
is
got
going
on
and
the
military's
got
going
on
around
the
futures
command.
We
think
we
have
a
really
unique
opportunity,
but
it's
not
easy
to
go
out
and
establish
something
like
that.
E
We
think
we
need
somebody
dedicated
to
that
function
and
we
need
to
provide
them
with
some
some
funds
to
do
the
things
the
activities
around
the
marketing
of
that
opportunity.
So
you
know
the
obvious
question:
is
we've
got
some
money
in
our
account?
If
you
want
to
call
it
that
we've
got
a
million
and
a
half
that
it
is
being
paid
out
over
incentives
over
the
next
few
months
and
we'll
be
down
to
about
a
million
and
a
half
and
one
of
the
things
I
would
bring
out.
Is
we
write?
E
We
write
these
proposals
for
bringing
people
to
Columbus.
You
know
four
or
five
a
month.
So
at
any
one
point
those
things
may
go
60
90
days,
so
we
may
have
10
to
15
proposals
out
with
various
levels
of
incentive
commitments
on
them
and
they
may
range
from
$50,000
to
$500,000
and
so
I
wish
they
would
all
come
to
us.
E
We
know
they're,
not
it's
a
very
competitive
bill
business,
but
if
we
get
down
into
you
know
a
million
dollars
essentially
in
a
war
chest,
we're
gonna
be
very
limited
in
how
much
we
can
comfortably
propose
for
these
routine
proposals
that
we're
getting
that
we're
being
asked
to
make
bids
for,
and
so
that
was
the
reason
that
we
said:
hey,
let's
go
and
see.
If
there's
in
that
other
economic
development
money
that
the
council
maintains,
does
it
make
sense
to
make
an
investment
in
this
robotics
venture?
E
We
think
it's
a
good,
solid
thing
that
we
need
to
do.
You
know
there's
no
guarantees
on
it,
certainly,
and
that's
why
we
said:
let's
look
at
it
for
the
next
three
years,
and
and
and
that's
the
reason
for
requesting
the
money
out
of
the
other
fund
as
opposed
to
what
we've
got
sitting
in
the
war
chest.
If
you
will,
we
think
we
need
that
there
or
else
we're
going
to
be
coming
routinely
every
time
we're
doing
a
proposal.
Saying
hey.
E
D
D
D
I
I
personally
think
it.
We
bet.
If
you
come
back
to
us
when
you
need
the
hundred
thousand
toys,
I
said
it,
because
if
we
issue
out
to
$150
hundred
fifty
thousand
a
year
that
reduces
the
amount
of
our
fund,
balance
that
affects
hot
days
in
reserve
and
I
want
much
rather
come
up
with
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
in
March
and
taking
that
in
July.
B
Madam
Pro
Tem
it
the
money
is
for
the
robotics
initiative
is
in
the
economic
development
fund,
which
does
not
impact
the
general
fund.
So
there's
a
millage
that
we
collect
to
economic
development
activities,
and
this
is
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
would
come
out
of
that.
Fine.
It
has
no
bearing
on
the
general
fund
or
reserves,
but.
D
B
D
E
Depends
solely
on
what
we
do,
typically
with
incentives,
our
basic
costs.
Are
we
have
a
$300,000
contract
with
the
chamber
to
provide
all
of
our
day-to-day
work,
which
includes
both
Brian's
alito's
work
as
a
project
manager.
Part
of
Brian
Anderson's
is
an
oversight
role,
an
administrative
person,
some
for
bidding
relations,
work
and
our
workforce
development
efforts.
So
then
we
pay
also
out
of
that.
We
pay
Valley
partnership,
joint
development
authority
dues,
which
are
about
200,000
a
year,
so
that's
500,
roughly
half
of
the
budget.
The
other
goes
into
the
warchest
that
we
talked
about
earlier.
D
E
E
G
And
can
you
tell
me
why
we
would
have
an
employee
rather
than
a
consultant
if
we
had
a
consultant
for
three
years
at
the
end
of
the
three
years
our
obligation
would
be
over
and
done
to
that
person.
If
we
have
an
employee,
there
may
be
some
residual
employment
requirements
at
the
end
of
the
three
years
you.
E
Will
get
to
look
at
that?
My
gut
feel
is
a
contract
door
or
would
be
more
expensive.
That
would
be
my
personal
guess.
I
haven't
looked
at
that,
but
we
can
certainly
look
at
it,
but
I
would
think
getting
out
of
an
employee
if
the
job
goes
away
after
three
years
is
cheaper.
Certainly
a
contractor
is
going
to
be
more
expensive.
G
E
The
same
reason
that
I
was
talking
about
earlier
that
warchest
that
if
we,
if
we
try
to
operate
with
the
warchest,
that's
down
in
the
million
dollar
range
and
we're
issuing
proposals
routinely
to
people
that
the
state
brings
to
us
and
says
hey,
these
people
are
interested
in
looking
at
Columbus.
So
we
have
to
put
proposals
out
there
before
they
ever
set
foot
in
sure,
and
so
at
any
one
time
we've
got
15
to
20
proposals
sitting
out
there
with
some
level
of
incentive
committed
to
should
they
decide
to
come
to
Columbus.
E
E
You
know
more
proposals,
knowing
that,
if
one
or
two
of
them
hits
and
we've
got
to
be
in
here-
saying:
hey
guys,
we
don't
have
any
money
and
we've
made
these
commitments.
You
know
in
these
bit
of
these
proposals.
Either
we
got
to
back
out
of
the
proposed
commitment
or
we've
got
to
come
to
y'all
and
say
hey
now.
We
need
some
money
and
you
know
just
slows
down
the
whole
process
in
this
process,
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
it
moves
very
quickly.
Sometimes
it.
G
G
C
H
In
the
office,
but
if
I
recall
help
me
through
this,
if
I
recall
in
that
handout,
we
talked
about
the
value
of
a
meal
being
a
little
over
5
million
5.2,
or
something
like
that
5.4
somewhere
in
that
range
and
I
thought
in
your
handout.
It
talked
about
our
contribution
to
the
development.
Ora
T
was
a
half
a
mil.
H
B
Is
a
quarter
of
a
mil?
Yes,
sir,
so
the
other
the
remain
important
to
five
of
the
meals
well
they're,
just
so
that
for
the
Economic
Development
Fund,
we
collect
point
five
zero
meals
which,
for
the
FY
19
budget,
is
valued
at
two
point:
four
million
dollars
out
of
the
point:
five:
zero
meals,
the
Development
Authority
receives
0.25
meals,
which
is
valued
at
about
1.2
million
dollars.
The
remaining
two
point:
two
five
meals
is
distributed
for
NCR
the
NCR
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
payment,
which
is
valued
at
800,000
in
cluded
in
the
FY
19
budget.
B
There
is
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
for
the
robotics
initiative,
and
the
amount
of
the
millage
from
f119
that
we
are
putting
up
for
reserves
is
valued
at
266
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
two
dollars.
So
the
millage
is
split,
is
point
two
five
meals
that
goes
to
the
development
30
and
point
two
five
mils.
That
goes
to
the
city.
B
Out
of
our
point,
two
five
meals,
we've
already
obligated
800
for
the
NCR
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
deal
they're,
asking
in
this
budget
an
additional
150,000
for
the
robotics
initiative,
which
leaves
reserve
monies
that
were
putting
up
from
FY
19
of
two
hundred
and
sixty
six
thousand.
That's
just
from
19.
We
are.
We
have
existing
reserves.
The
city
has
existing
reserves
that
we've
like
that
over
the
years.
H
Okay,
mr.
kair
crap,
I
guess
I
was
thinking
along
the
lines
of
counselor
Thomas.
Why
would
we
once
you
hire
an
employee?
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
go
along
with
that.
A
lot
of
men
dates
that
you
have
to
provide
sick
time
vacation.
You
know
all
that.
So
if
it
seems
like
this
could
cost
a
lot
more.
If
you
hired
contracting
someone
would
it
may
and
then
it
may
seem
to
cost
more
but
upfront,
but
it
seems
to
me
you
get
out
of
a
lot
of
requirements.
Do
it
that
way?
E
H
E
I
would
I
would
hope
that
it
turns
into
a
permanent
deal.
You
know
that
we
would
then
somehow
be
generating
enough
revenue
to
pick
it
up
after
three
years,
so
that
we
would
want
to
keep
somebody
permanent
now
if
it
doesn't.
Obviously
that's
what
we're
talking
about
is
if
it
doesn't
work.
What
do
you
do
at
the
end
of
three
years?
We
can
certainly
take
a
look,
and
it
may
be
that
the
best
person
is
out
there
only
available
as
a
contractor.
E
If
that's
the
case,
we'd
certainly
want
to
go
that
route,
but
you
know
typically,
if
you're
hiring,
if
you,
if
you're
getting
somebody
full-time
and
you
were
expecting
the
work
60
hours
a
week
for
48
hours
pay
it's
a
you
know
my
experience
is
it's
better
to
have
them
on
your
payroll,
but
that's
just
my
personal
opinion,
so
look.
We
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
it
and
again,
depending
on
who
we
find
out
there,
it
may
it
may
dictate,
which
way
we
ought
to
go
with
it.
Well,.
H
In
my
layman's
mind,
I'm
thinking
that
persons
not
in
Columbus
today
that
once
you
find
them
they're,
either
going
to
work
from
home
and
go
where
you
need
them
to
go
or
they're
have
to
move
here
and
they
if
they,
if
they're
gonna,
move
here
on
a
three-year
contract,
then
I
question
their
right
sanity
right.
So
anyway,
look
we
can
we
got
time
to
talk
about
sorry,
Thank,
You,.
J
J
I
do
think
that,
and
just
listen
to
this
discussion,
based
on
what
we're
saying,
based
on
what
was
said,
you
know,
it
looks
to
me
just
like
off
the
top
that
the
city
could
basically
do
this
function
and
do
it
for
far
less
so
I
have
to
ask
that
as
a
question
the
second
one
would
be.
We
had
a
well,
let's
just
talk
about
the
goal
of
this
fund
that
we
have
actually
I'm
one
of
the
ones
that
really
push
for
that.
J
The
purpose-
and
let
me
remind
you,
the
purpose
of
that
fund
is
to
create
jobs,
is
to
bring
jobs
in
and
give
those
incentives
for
that.
It's
not
a
fund.
In
my
mind,
that
is
subjective
where
we're
going
out
on
a
fishing
expedition
trying
to
find
people.
This
is
for
money
that
we
would
take
that
we
have
people
who
have
committed
and
we
would
take
it
because
we
are
now
having
a
return
on
the
investment
mr.
Jones
came
in
earlier
and
talked
to
us
and
about
some
of
these
initiatives.
J
He
one
of
the
questions
I
would
have
to
say
there's
a
lot
of
players
in
this
field,
whether
it's
a
university
systems
where
there's
the
corporate
systems,
whether
it's
the
DoD
I
mean
a
lot
of
this
stuff-
is
happening
right
now.
There's
a
lot
of
players
in
this,
and
you
know,
and
I
would
have
to
even
from
a
standpoint
of
the
Foundation's
I
would
have
to
ask
that
question
you
know
is
every
this
competition
thing.
You
know
what
what
is
so
valuable
this
one
entity
versus
what
all
these
other
entities
can
do.
J
J
The
funds
that
you
already
have
that's
there
to
be
utilized
to
bring
people
in
provide
incentives,
I
would
say,
use
that
because
that's
exactly
the
purpose
behind
it
and
go
find
the
jobs
I
would.
Rather
you
come
to
us
and
ask
us
for
that
money
and
therefore
I
could
look
back
at
the
taxpayers
and
say:
hey:
we've
got
some
jobs
coming
our
way.
We
need
to
give
them
some
money.
I
would
rather
be
in
that
position,
rather
than
being
a
position
of
solidity
versus
of
position
of
subjectiveness.
J
So
those
would
be
my
concerns
about
this
request
and
I'm.
Just
having
this
conversation,
will
you
being
up
front
putting
it
out
there?
That
would
be
something
that
I
would
need
to
get
really
really
comfortable
with
and
I
can't
say.
I
am
at
this
point,
because
this
is
really
the
first
conversation
that
we've
had
on
on
this
subject.
I
do
thank
you
for
coming
today
and
welcome
to
us
and
there's
probably,
you
probably
have
some
more
to
say
so,
I'm
eager
to
listen.
J
E
Well,
as
I
certainly
respect
your
thoughts
on
that,
and
you
know
the
whole,
it
does
make
it
a
little
bit
more
difficult
for
us
to
operate
effectively.
I
think
is
a
Development
Authority.
If
we
never
know
for
sure
that
we've
got
to
come
get
permission
after
the
fact,
when
we've
sold
something
to
a
customer
so
to
speak,
then
we
got
to
go
say:
okay
well
now
cannot
deliver
it.
That
puts
us
in
a
little
bit
of
a
tough
spot.
No
certainly
are
you
saying
up
this
body.
J
E
J
I
mean
maybe
in
the
mindset
of
the
Development
Authority
that
maybe
I
don't
see
that
being
a
problem
with
this
body.
I,
really
don't
you
know,
we've
already
got
examples
of
where
we
can
this
body
can
act,
I
mean
we
can
act
within
a
week.
We
meet
every
two
weeks,
it's
just
a
matter
of
us
knowing
about
it
and
working
through
it.
I,
don't
I,
think
we've
all
we've
met
every
request
outside
of
one
in
the
last
four
ten
years
from
the
development
authority
of
requests
and
we've
been
pretty
much
on
time.
Okay,.
G
Tell
you
Russ
that
if
this
happens-
and
you
guys
get
somebody
to
come
and
you
need
money
from
this
group
I'll
come
to
a
call
meeting.
Don't
you
don't
have
to
wait
till
two
weeks
from
next
Tuesday
I'll
come
to
a
call
meeting.
I
do
want
to
say
that
I.
Think,
though,
that
this
robotics
initiative,
this
initiative
is
something
that
is
very
important
to
our
community
and
we
have
people
who
are
working
very
diligently
now
to
do
this.
G
G
You
know
that
we
could
somehow
or
another
deal
with
that
and
not
dictate
whether
or
not
it's
it's
an
employee
or
consult
on
oral
100
of
it
is
for
salary
and
50s
for
expenses
or
whatever,
but
I
don't
want
to
do
anything.
That's
going
to
stop
the
momentum
of
the
development
authority
as
it
deals
with
the
robotics,
and
it
may
be
that
that
we
may
want
to
do
it
year
at
a
time.
No,
instead
of
a
three-year
commitment,
I,
don't
know,
I
think
a
three-year
commitment.
You
know
that's
$450,000,
I.
A
What
can
you
commit
a
future
council
right
and
then,
if
you
get
into
a
payroll
situation-
and
maybe
it
doesn't
work
out,
but
then
you
say
well,
we
had
a
three
year
contract
with
this
person,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
work
out.
Something
with
that.
You
know,
that's
not
the
situation
we
want.
We
want
to
be.
E
Sure,
yeah
I
wouldn't
say
I,
don't
think
there'll
be
a
three
year
contract
unless
we
do
a
contract
employee.
If
we
hire
somebody
we're
hiring
them
into
a
full-time
position
with
you
know
and
if
they
don't
perform
just
like
anybody
else,
they'll
be
fired
or
if
the
job
goes
away.
They'll
be
let
go
and
you
got
to
deal
with
that.
But
you
know
I
I
fully.
A
Got
some
other
comments,
but
my
own
understanding
was
when
the
mayor
put
that
second
quarter
mil
in
the
budget
a
few
years
ago.
My
understanding
that
it
was
reserved
for
incentive
funds,
like
you,
talked
about
the
war
chest
and
not
so
much
as
payroll
or
payroll
type
funding,
but
it
was
war,
chest
type
funding
and.
A
Will
be
that
was
just
my
feeling
and
my
understanding,
and
maybe
we
didn't
have
that
detailed
discussion
about,
but
that
was
my
understanding
but
I'm
still
not
saying
that
we
can't
work
this
out,
because
I
think
we
all
want
to
see
it
succeed.
So
it's
not
that
we're
opposed
to
what
you're
sure
you're
bringing
forward.
How
do
we
go
about
working
together
to
accomplish
it
and.
A
D
D
Of
the
things
I
feel
like
this,
robotics
is
going
to
do
it's
gonna
take
off
because
when
June
right
before
General
Wesley
now
I
know
he's
still
working
on
it,
and
this
is
this
thing
if
he
wants
to
see
what
Venice
received
with
it,
but
our
account
discussion
on
the
mill
that
was
going
to
the
chamber
for
the
economic
development
it
wasn't
for
personnel.
It
was
soon
all
benefits
and
stuff.
You
all
need
it,
but
I'm
kind
of
like
counselor
Thomas
I,
want
to
tell
you
how
to
use
it.
E
The
way
the
way
I
would
look
at
this
is
this
is
asking
for
a
basically
a
three-year
grant
for
us
to
get
this
off
the
ground.
We're
gonna
use
some
of
that
money
to
do
marketing
with
we're
going
to
use
some
of
it
to
hire
someone
in
the
chamber
or
as
you've
mentioned
contract
with
somebody
to
work
with
the
chamber
and
we're
gonna
do
some
outright
going
to
trade
shows
and
doing
those
sorts
things.
So
it's
a
it's
a
request
for
a
three-year
grant.
E
If,
at
the
end
of
three
years,
I,
don't
think
we'll
be
back
in
here
asking
you
to
continue
fund,
it
will
it'll
either
fund
itself
or
it'll.
Go
away.
That's
my
perception!
So
it's
it's
not
asking
you
to
hire
an
employee
so
much
and
put
somebody
on
the
city
payroll.
It's
asking
you
to
fund
a
three-year
grant
to
initiate
what
I
think
is
a
very
timely
initiative.
As
you
mentioned
general
Jones,
all
those
guys
what
the
CSU's
got
going
on,
there's
a
lot
of
momentum
around
the
robotics.
E
We
think
it's
just
an
opportune
time
to
put
to
put
somebody
in
to
sort
of
coordinate
all
the
activities
around
all
those
institutions
and
right
now,
general
Jones
as
much
as
he's
involved
with
it
he's
got
other
jobs,
and
so
you
know
I.
If
he
could
do
it,
we'd
probably
try
to
hire
him,
but
he's
probably
got
too
many
other
things
going
on,
but
but
but
these
but
again
I
think
it's
just
the
timing
of
it
and
see
it
as
a
grant.
E
We
do
we
have
a
contract
with
the
chamber
to
staff
the
development
authority,
so
Brian
Sulli.
Ultimately,
you
know
if
your
arms
long
enough
and
you
can
see
around
the
corners
Brian
cielito-
is
funded
out
of
that
the
administrative
person
at
the
development
at
the
chamber,
one
administrative
person
is
paid
for
out
of
that
part
of
Gary
Jones
part
of
Brian
Anderson.
There's
all
of
the
the
HR
work
development
for
for
workforce
development
is
funded
out
of
that.
This.
E
Been
the
case
since
I've
been
around
since
I
started
fooling
around
at
the
chamber
in
2000.
Probably
it's
always
been
the
case
that
the
development
authority
has
had
for
as
long
as
I
am
aware,
it's
always
had
a
contract
with
the
chamber
to
do
their
work.
Somebody's
got
to
get
up
every
morning,
think
about
development
authority
work
and
the
volunteers
aren't
doing
that.
So
we've
got
to
have
a
staff
to
do
that.
K
K
K
K
I
believe
it
was
Augusta
they're
all
in
because
they
got
a
military
base
on
robotics
because
they
understand
that
if
they
don't
get
in
on
the
game
right
now,
Augusta
could
be
left
out
and
from
the
administration
standpoint.
We
can't
afford
not
to
do
this.
There's
too
much
at
stake
for
the
future
of
robotics
and
in
Georgia
and
across
the
country
we
got
to
get
in
on
it.
K
If
you
need
to
get
that
out
of
them
and
their
salary
does
not
change,
but
you
go
beyond
the
contracted
hours
with
a
consultant
and
there
is
a
cost
for
on
the
15
minute
basis,
quarter
of
an
hour
basis
when
they're
dealing
with
you
so
I
say
all
that
to
say
that
we
support
this
request
is
in
the
budget,
its
funded
in
the
budget.
In
the
second
point,
two
five
meals,
as
has
been
laid
out
by
the
finance
director
and
the
administration,
strongly
encourages
you
to.
L
Mr.
Budget
Chairman
do
we
I
know
that
this
the
development
authority
has
some
restricted
funds,
but
if
this
money
is
coming
from
our
budget,
well
we
have
the
puppet.
Would
we
have
the
I
guess
it
would
be
a
wash
if
we
were
to
say
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
put
150,000
in
our
general
fund
reserve
and
we're
playing
on
save
that,
because
if
they
have
to
use
their
funding,
we're
gonna
help
finance
a
project.
Then
we've
already
gotten
some
money
available,
one
in
savings
well,.
A
Have
well,
in
essence,
fenestra
in
essence,
is
already.
Is
that
way
I
mean
in
that
in
the
economic
development
reserve
fund.
It
is
reserve
in
essence,
for
that
purpose.
Already,
I,
don't
think
we
would
move
it
to
the
other
phone
to
the
general
fund.
I
think
you
would
leave
it
where
it
is,
and
you
could
say
it's
restricted
for
that
purpose
if
they
bring
something
back
but
I'll.
Let
the
finance
director
I'm.
B
B
K
L
Well,
I
would
I
would
just
say
I'm
a
no.
This
is
something
we
need
to
do.
I
know
we
need
to
do
the
robotics
initiative.
I
honestly,
I'm
I
mean
I'm
more
in
favor
of
what
we're
talking
about
as
far
as
given
the
money.
If
it's,
if
we
know
it's
needed,
but
if
this
is
the
only
way
that
we
can
get
that
locked
in
I
mean
I
think
this
is
investment.
We
need
to
make.
B
So
out
of
the
point
two
five
mils
that
we
receive
as
the
city,
because
the
Development
Authority
receives
point
two:
five
mils,
we
receive
point
two
five
mils,
so
out
of
our
1.2
million
dollars,
we
have
800
thousand
that's
going
to
NCR
Blue
Cross
for
that
payment.
We
have
a
contingency
that
was
setting
aside
reserve
money
that
we're
setting
aside
this
year,
it's
at
two
hundred
and
sixty
six
thousand
and
the
150
thousand
is
coming
out
of
what
we
set
aside
for
contingent
for
reserves.
H
G
More
question
miss
Alexander
I'm,
looking
at
this
sheet
of
paper
right
here:
okay,
yes,
this
is
the
Economic
Development
Authority
fund,
and
it
says
that
in
the
operating
portion
of
that
fund
is
to
two
million
four
hundred
and
thirty
two
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty-five
dollars
and
then
down
at
the
bottom.
It
separates
out
what
what
is
included
in
that
and
as
I
understand
what
you
just
said.
G
G
So
what
we
are
being
asked
to
do
is
to
move
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
city's
fund
to
the
development
authorities.
Fun.
We're
not
being
asked
to
increase
the
overall
fund,
we're
just
being
asked
to
shift
money
from
one
side,
one
part
of
the
ledger
to
another
part
of
the
ledger:
yes,
and
then
once
it
gets
to
the
Development
Authority,
they
can
make
the
decision.
G
We
can
say
to
you
this
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
is
to
be
used
for
the
robotics
initiative,
go
forth
and
use
it,
and
you
can
decide
then
whether
to
hire
an
employee
of
the
Development
Authority,
not
of
the
city
of
the
Development
Authority
or
a
consultant
or
whatever
else.
As
long
as
you
are
spending
it
for
this
robotics
initiative
is
all
that
right.
That's
correct!
G
J
Let
me
remind
you:
we
did
mr.
Jones
came
in
early
and
spoke
and
talked
about
the
robotics
initiative
and
I
just
want
to
get
this.
You
you're
asking
for
though
150,000,
but
do
you
guys?
Are
you
prepared
to
present
us
with
a
budget
sure?
Can
you
do
that
before
we
get
out
of
our
sessions
present
us
with
a
budget?
So
what
this
hundred
fifty
would
be
useful,
yeah.
E
Sure
I'm,
just
in
right,
own
numbers,
Glenn,
it's
three
items,
there's
a
salary
which
we
are
projecting
to
be
about
$100,000,
there's
$25,000
to
attend
to
trade,
shows
where
the
robotics
and
the
military
industry
operate.
That
is
us
AAA
and
national
defense
industry.
Those
two
are
two
very
large
trade
shows
where
every
robotics
defense
contractor
will
be
yet
and
then
there's
$25,000
for
the
general
marketing
and
program
development
that
will
there
we'll
have
to
put
together
to
be
able
to
go,
attend
a
trade
show
and
look
like.
We
know
what
we
do
it
well,
it's.
J
D
J
E
E
J
I
hear
you
but
we're
you
know
we're.
We
have
to
look
at
this
whole
government
sure
when
it
comes
to
salaries.
We
don't
have
many
at
that
level
and
we've
got
some
MBAs
and
some
masters
as
well.
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
information.
If
you
could
put
that
budget
together,
please
yeah.
Thank
you.
Well,.
K
And
mr.
chairman,
I
was
going
to
say
behind
your
exit
exhibit
too,
if
you
will
look
there
page
39
behind
exhibit
two
at
the
bottom
of
the
page,
there's
a
letter
from
Russ
character
to
the
mayor
and
at
the
bottom,
the
last
paragraph
where
they
request
150,000
annually
for
the
next
three
years
and
will
appoint
one
it.
They
want
to
hire
economic
development
project
manager.
K
Twenty
five
thousand
for
travel
and
marketing
participation
at
two
to
three
military
trade
shows
annually
partnering
with
Association
of
the
United
States
Army
and
the
national
defense
industry
association,
and
so
that's
how
they
propose
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
would
be
spent.
If
you
want
a
more
detailed
budget,
I'm
sure
appreciate.
E
E
K
A
Thank
You
city
manager,
councillor
tom,
is
just
real
briefly
when
you
sit
why
you
know
why
we're
getting
wrapped
around
the
actual,
which
we
tend
to
do
quite
often,
my
my
question
is
were
number
one
just
because
we've
had
so
many
questions
about
the
NCR
deal.
Was
there
any
way
of
recouping
any
funding
from
that
to
supplement
this,
and
then
the
other
is
to
clarify
just
among
the
councillors
that
it
is
a
three-year
commitment.
It
will
be
used
to
potentially
fund
to
payroll
positions,
so
you
don't
get
caught
when
somebody
else
finds
out.
A
C
A
E
M
M
M
In
the
past
we
haven't
had
the
personnel
to
do
that.
Our
board,
our
board
of
Assessors,
has
also
required
us
to
not
only
look
at
all
the
properties
in
the
county.
The
code
states
review
the
properties
in
the
county
over
three
years.
Our
board
has
gone
one
step
further
and
said
you
will
physically
inspect
all
the
properties
in
the
county,
both
taxable
and
non-taxable
every
three
years.
M
So
that's
a
little
bit
different
than
the
ambiguous
word
review,
that's
in
the
Georgia
code
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we've
felt
like
we've
done
our
best
says
that
we
can
review
a
property
sitting
at
a
desk.
We
can
review
the
information
for
the
property
looking
at
photographs
and
looking
at
our
property
record
cards.
But
now
our
board
of
Assessor
says
no.
We
want
you
to
physically
inspect
the
property
every
three
years,
not
just
taxable
property,
but
all
properties,
so
72,000
parcels
in
this
county
and
that's
a
rounded
number.
M
We
will
use
or
review
every
three
years.
When
you
look
at
those
numbers.
I've
talked
about
the
Iwao
International
Association
of
assessing
officials
they're
the
entity
here,
not
only
in
America
but
internationally.
The
name
would
suggest
they
set
the
standards
for
what
governments
do,
they're
the
ones
that
offer
the
highest
level
of
education
for
assessing
officials
and
appraising
officials
that
work
in
local
city
governments.
They
recommend
one
appraiser
do
three
thousand
at
thirty
five
hundred
parcels,
so
every
thirty
five
hundred
parcels
you
should
have
one
appraiser.
M
Now
that
number
eight
does
not
include
the
two
managers
and
the
two
mappers
that
are
in
the
residential
and
commercial
division.
Technically
speaking,
that
manager
is
an
appraiser
and,
technically
speaking,
that
mapper
is
an
appraiser,
but
those
two
persons
do
not
go
out
and
do
physical
inspections
of
property.
M
It
could
be
rare
that
a
mapper
would
go
out
to
the
field
or
that
it's
not
so
rare
for
a
manager,
but
my
board
directed
me
to
take
the
the
manager
in
the
mapper
out
of
this
equation
and
just
use
the
number
eight,
because
that's
the
number
of
staff
members
appraisers
that
are
actually
doing
these
inspections
pointed
this
out
a
couple
times.
The
2008
audit
ten
years
ago
identified
insufficient
staffing
in
the
residential
division.
M
M
The
three
things
you
have
CCG,
you
have
our
pure
average,
which
is
bib
Henry
and
Richmond
counties.
They
are
our
loosely
considered
pure
counties
to
us
and
then
the
Iwao
standard
you
can
see.
In
that
first
column
we
have
eight
appraisers,
our
peers
have
18
and
the
Iwao
standard
is
21
parcels
per
day
per
appraiser
with
the
8
appraisers.
We
have
we'd
have
to
look
at
thirty
three
parcels
a
day,
270
days
a
year
to
look
at
72,000
parcels
every
three
years.
M
M
That
leaves
us
short
20
parcels
a
day
with
the
staff
that
we
currently
have
to
review
all
the
properties
in
the
county.
Every
three
years.
I,
don't
have
another
slide.
I,
don't
have
numbers
to
tell
you
I
can
I
can
pull
up
the
budget
numbers
you
all
have
them.
I
have
them.
This
equates
to
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars,
and
salaries
and
benefits
for
people
are.
A
Here's
here's
a
concern,
not
necessarily
the
concern
bait,
but
a
concern
is
that,
where
it's
63
days
and
there's
no
revenue
source
to
fund
these
positions,
you
know
fund
balance.
The
worst
thing
you
do
to
a
fund
balance
is
add
there.
An
add
delete
session,
has
ADD
payroll
to
it,
because
there's
no
source
for
it,
so
that
that's
the
position
where
in
payroll
is
really
one
of
them.
It's.
A
Responsible
way
to
approach
the
fund
balance
through
the
add
delete
session,
that's
the
possession
three
days.
That's
the
position,
we're
in
and
I
know.
I
sound
like
a
broken
record.
I,
don't
think.
I've
ever
approved
a
payroll
position
out
of
fund
balance
during
that
delete
because
there's
no,
if
there's
no
funding
source
for
it,
there's
no
revenue
source
to
pay
for
it,
but
I'll
entertain
any
questions
or
comments
from
Council.
M
Yes,
ma'am
the
disparity
between
what
Iwao
says
we
should
have
them
what
we
have
depending
on
which
numbers
you
look
at.
We
really
could
use.
Eight
I
knew
it
wasn't
gonna
happen.
So
I
put
four
in
the
request,
one
hundred
and
eighty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
one
and
that
salary
plus
benefits.
M
A
G
C
B
That
council
Thomas
that's
for
g14
appraisal
positions,
value
with
benefits
at
one
hundred.
Eighty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
and
the
tax
assessor's
office
did
have
one
position
that
was
included
in
the
recommended
budget.
It
is
for
a
g14
GIS
technician,
so
they
can
speak
on
the
need
for
that
particular
position,
because
they
would
be
part
of
that
group
that
council
wanted
to
see
for
new
positions
and
reclassifications
as
well.
M
You
may
recall
my
prior
presentation
about
this
position
last
year
and
director
Thole
was
up
here
talking
about
the
position
that
had
come
from
IT
and
had
gone
to
the
assessor's
office,
but
IT
was
still
funding
the
position.
You
may
recall
that
GIS
position
had
been
put
out
to
us,
but
not
funded
for
us,
so
we
asked
for
it
last
year
it
was
not
approved.
The
IT
department
continued
to
fund
it
for
last
fiscal
year,
and
now
again
we
asked
for
this
year
and
received
the
position
in
our
budget
interesting.
M
Interestingly
enough,
we
did
not
receive
the
request
for
the
education,
that's
required
to
maintain
that
person's
proficiency
in
her
position.
So
you
know
I'm
here
talking
about
bigger,
bigger
things,
but
that
that's
one
of
those
things
that
was
not
funded
so
we'll
have
to
figure
out
a
way
like
everybody
else,
to
try
to
get
funds
to
do
things
that
are
necessary,
even
though
you
don't
have
them.
M
There
was
something
else
in
delve
in.
You
may
direct
me
as
to
when
to
talk
about
the
copier
cost
that
one
you,
you
probably
recall
the
the
number
11,000.
That
was
the
number
of
Appeals
that
we
process
last
year.
11
thousand
and
eight,
our
multifunction
copier
machine,
went
on
the
blink
in
the
middle
of
that
process
last
year
and
it
does
everything,
as
you
would
imagine,
for
our
department.
We
have
one
and
it
stopped,
and
so
Jeremy
and
some
of
his
crew
came
down
and
looked
at
it
and
Jeremy
pulled
me
aside.
M
He
said
you
realize
this
is
one
of
two
of
the
oldest
pieces
of
equipment
like
this
in
the
city,
I
said
no,
it
I
didn't
know
that
he
said.
Oh,
you
know
we're
gonna
try
to
do
this
and
see
if
it
works.
If
it
doesn't,
it
needs
parts
I'm,
not
sure
how
we're
gonna
do
that.
So
that's
when
I
started
asking
when
is
it
going
to
end
lease?
When
is
the
end
of
the
lease
agreement,
and
what
can
we
do?
How
is
this
done?
I'd
I,
don't
know
found
out
that
there
was
a.
M
We
used,
a
company,
that
the
rest
of
the
cities
know
no
longer
using
its
using
a
reco
product.
Now
and,
and
so
we
contacted
the
provider
and
got
him
to
come
out.
Look
at
what
we
had
and
what
the
equivalent
would
be
and
got
a
price
for
that,
and
we
civil
that
those
that
price
for
phases
even
less
than
what
we're
paying.
That's,
that's
a
win-win.
It's
not
going
to
cost
us
anything
extra,
get
a
new
piece
of
equipment.
Then
I
was
told
very
recently.
It's
probably
my
father's,
probably
told
before
didn't
hear
it.
M
The
monthly
lease
payment
also
comes
out
of
my
budget,
and
so
I
did
not
add
that
to
my
budget
request
when
it
was
submitted-
and
that
is
I
believe
twenty
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
for
the
monthly
lease
payment
for
that
machine.
The
cost
per
color-phasing
costs
per
black
and
white
are
at
are
slightly
below
that
historic
costs
I've
been
paying
for
several
years,
so
that
I
end
up
saving
me
some
money
but
I.
A
L
M
Think
you're
losing
your
you're,
losing
compliance
with
state
code
sure
know
how
that
impacts
the
tax
digest
over
the
years.
It
would
impact
it
greater
than
it
would
on
a
one-year
snapshot
trying
to
take
a
look
at
that.
But
I
do
think
that
the
historic
issues
that
were
uncovered
last
year
is
due
to
that
understand
sure,
and
it's
been
identified
like
that
for
10
years.
Sure
I
definitely.
L
I
mean
I
know
we
we
everybody
was
very
concerned
when
everything
came
back,
but
the
only
way
to
prevent
that
from
happening
again
as
if
we
properly
staff.
But
as
a
the
budget
chairman
said,
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
pay
forward
and
everybody's
gonna
be
having
these
requests,
but
we'll
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
and.
A
Hey
counselor,
the
council
does
have
the
option
of
look
I,
believe
one
of
the
counselors
requested
a
complete
breakdown
of
all
additional
staffing
requested.
It's
already
in
the
budget.
Council
has
the
option
of
taking
a
budgeted
amount,
that's
already
there
and
reallocating
it
to
another
department.
You
know,
that's,
that's
a
tough
call
to
make,
but
that's
that's.
There.
A
B
B
M
B
Why
17
out
of
that
budget,
they
spent
eight
hundred
and
thirty
seven
dollars,
so
what
John
is
saying
is
because
of
them
getting
a
new
copier
the
cost
per
month
to
lease
that
copier
goes
up
and
he's
saying
that
the
lease
costs
for
the
year
is
2259
item.
He
only
has
budgeted
one
thousand
six.
Seventy
five,
so
I'm
assuming
he's
requesting
the
difference
it
could
be
added
to
his
budget
when.
B
M
N
K
B
N
C
K
D
N
A
B
N
A
O
B
A
P
Right:
okay,
I,
wanted
to.
The
first
item,
is
part-time
judges
when
I
originally
came
to
the
council.
I
was
thinking
that
Saturday
sessions
were
just
one
session
and
I
learned
that
it's
actually
two
sessions
that
are
combined
so
we'll
need
additional,
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
dollars
for
Saturday
sessions
for
part-time
judges,
because
we
combined
the
morning
and
afternoon
session.
P
C
A
P
A
P
Are
all
requests
for
additional
amounts?
When
I
submitted
my
budget,
they
were
in
the
budget
that
I
submitted,
but
they
were
not
in
the
mayor's
budget.
Okay,
so
they're
all
additional.
As
far
as
judicial
and
financial
supervisors,
we
have
one
supervisor
over
the
Judicial
Department
one
supervisor
over
the
financial
department.
Both
of
those
positions
are
under
graded.
Columbus
State
has
also
reviewed
and
concurs
that
the
supervisor
position
should
be
G
for
teens
and
should
be
changed
to
senior
deputy
clerk
positions
right
now.
P
And
then
here's
a
breakdown
of
everything,
there's
five
judicial
administrative
tech
ones
that
are
at
nine,
a
positions
and
I'm
requesting
that
they
be
changed
to
deputy
clerk.
Two
positions
at
12a
to
be
equivalent
with
other
courts.
There's
one
judicial,
administrative
tech
to
position.
That's
a
10a
that
I
would
like
to
be
changed
to
deputy
clerk
two
to
twelve
a.
P
Ok,
then,
as
far
as
the
supervisors
go,
I
have
one
supervisor
at
a
10
L
one
supervisor
at
a
12.
A
and
I
would
like
for
the
10
L
position
to
be
changed
to
a
14
II
and
the
12.
A
position
changed
to
a
14
a
and
then
I
would
like
to
have
their
titles
changed.
Instead
of
judicial
tech,
2
and
judicial
tech
3
as
the
senior
deputy
clerks
a
recorders
court.
P
So
the
money
involved
would
be
forty-five
thousand
one
hundred
dollars
in
the
general
fund,
and
that
also
includes
benefits
in
the
Oh
lost
fund.
It
would
be
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
dollars,
and
that
also
includes
benefits.
So
the
total
I'm
asking
for
on
the
clerk's
is
fifty
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
forty
dollars.
P
In
2012,
both
state
and
municipal
court
positions
were
upgraded
to
a
grade.
Twelve
okay
and
it's
two
thousand
eighteen
now
so
that
was
like
six
years
ago
in
2006
was
the
last
time
job
classifications
had
been
changed
in
recorders
court.
The
judicial
administrative
tech
originally
was
in
the
sheriff's
office.
In
2006
recorders
court
became
its
own
department.
A
G
G
P
B
So
what
Donna
is
requesting
is
to
basically
restructure
and
reclassify
the
the
judicial
admin
clerks
in
recorders
court,
so
that
they're
reclassified
to
deputy
clerks
Council
is
correct.
Csu
has
evaluated
these
positions
and
one
thing
I
would
like
to
say:
is
you
know
when
departments
submit
their
request
for
reclassifications
to
CSU
or
UGA
for
some
in
the
past
they're?
Not
always
the
reviewing
party
doesn't
always
agree.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
recorders
court
was
one
of
those
departments
last
year,
based
on
the
job
description
that
was
submitted
where
UGA
came
back
and
said.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
mention
that
we
have
departments-
and
this
happens
across
the
government
where
they
may
submit
a
request
and
present
a
job
description
to
CSU
or
UGA
we
use
in
the
past
and
they
don't
always
recommend
reclassification.
So
we
have
some
other
departments
no
today
that'll
that
will
be
coming
requesting.
I
P
P
I
A
A
B
I
B
I
B
You
can,
if
you'd
like,
to
proceed
forward
with
the
reclassifications
for
recorders
court.
You
would
need
to
add
to
the
general
fund
and
I'm,
assuming
you'd
like
to
do
the
7375
for
the
part-time
judges,
because
that
money
is
needed
as
well,
so
within
the
general
fund
for
recorders
court,
fun,
the
part-time
judges,
the
amount
needed
for
the
part-time
judges,
as
well
as
all
the
reclassifications.
That
would
be
fifty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars
from
the
general
fund
and
from
the
Olas
fund.
A
I
I
D
K
We
we
do,
and,
of
course
it's
always
about
funding
but
I
believe
the
others
that
have
come
back,
that
you'll
see
coming
forward
were
included
in
the
budget.
If
it
came
back
from
CSU
indicating
that
the
position
should
be
reclassified,
it's
not
that
we're
not
paying
what
we
should
be
paying
I.
Think
in
this
case
they
it
may
have
come
back
after
the
budget
had
already
come
in
I
believe
I'm,
not
yeah.
K
She
says
they
did,
but
it
was
after
the
budget
had
already
to
come
to
you
that
we
got
this
back
from
CSU
and
that's
why
she's
now
bringing
it
forward.
So
we
do.
Obviously,
if
it
comes
back-
and
they
say
it
should
be
deputy
clerk
to
and
we're
at
a1,
then
we're
not
paying
that
person
based
on
what
they're
doing
and
we're
not
paying
them
fairly,
and
we
need
to
make
the
adjustment
and
we
try
and
include
that
in
the
mayor's
budget.
H
H
P
N
H
N
P
N
P
B
H
P
It
was
really
difficult
and
looking
at
everything
what
I
was
trying
to
do
is
I
was
comparing
recorders
court
to
state
court,
to
Municipal
Court
to
Superior
Court,
but
especially
to
Municipal
Court
and
the
pay
grades
that
those
three
courts
had
compared
to
our
court.
Our
court
was
very,
very
low.
All
of
those
other
courts
have
g12
in
higher
positions.
The
minimum
they
have
is
g12.
Our
court
has
g9
positions,
and
so
what
I
was
trying
to
do
is
raise
everybody
up
to
the
levels
of
the
other
courts
and
I'm
talking
about
the
minimum
level.
P
B
And
I
got
a
very
important
point.
Is
that
it's
not
what
Donna
is
moving
these
people
to
these
job
descriptions
have
been
sent
off
to
CSU.
They
have
evaluated
the
job,
description
and
determined
based
on
the
job
description,
provided
that
that
job
needed
to
be
classified
at
a
g12
or
g14
level.
So
it's
not
necessarily
that
Donna
is
requesting
that
these
remove
the
job
descriptions
that
these
employees
are
performing
was
evaluated
by
CSU
and
they
determined
that
they
should
be
reclassified
as
far
as
the
movement
out
on
the
scale
that
is
within
our
personnel
policy.
K
Which
and
the
personnel
policy
is
obviously
an
ordinance,
it's
the
law
and
we've
treated
everybody
else
with
that
personnel
policy
and,
and
so
I
think
that's
where
you're
up
would
come
because
every
time
a
person
is
reclassified
or
promoted,
we
apply
the
personnel
policy
that
you
adopted
in
2006
for
that
and
so
then
to
say
to
some:
we
want
to
graduate
you.
There
could
be
a
problem,
so
I.
H
C
H
K
And
my
thing
is,
you
know
it's
kind
of
like
a
pay
point
in
you
know.
If
we're
not
gonna
find
it,
we
probably
shouldn't
go
out
and
do
a
paste
day
cuz.
Then
it's
going
to
say
someone
should
be
making
something
that
we
can't
do
and
if
we
are
not
going
to
reclassify
them,
we
probably
ought
not
pay
CSU
or
UGA
to
evaluate
it,
because
when
it
comes
back
then
we've
we've
got
to
share
that
information
with
the
department
and
the
employee,
and
then
they
know
that
they
are
working.
H
H
Q
G
B
Currently,
on
the
list,
I
have
the
reclassifications
at
full
value,
which
is
what
councilor
Huff
requested
to
be
put
on
the
list.
So
now,
when
we
come
time
to
when
it
comes
time
to
vote
on
a
delete
list
which
is
May
22nd,
if
Council
has
another
recommendation,
we
can
make
a
change
to
what's
on
the
list.
It.
D
C
B
R
We're
here
with
one
request
today
the
addition
of
one
attorney
in
recorders
court,
even
though
our
proposed
budget
to
the
mayor
included
some
increases
in
our
daily
operating
expenses.
Those
were
not
included
in
the
proposed
budget
that
you
have
before
you,
and
we
will
continue
to
make
do
with
what
we've
done
in
the
past
and
we're
not
going
to
ask
for
an
increase
in
that.
However,
the
staffing
issue
and
recorders
court
is
not
that
simple.
R
When
we
were
asked
to
come
before
you
a
little
over
a
year
ago
to
address
the
fact
that
the
city
was
facing
two
federal
lawsuits
and
the
threat
of
a
third
lawsuit.
We
were
very
frank
and
candid
with
this
council,
with
the
attorneys
involved
on
both
sides
of
the
lawsuit
and
the
administration
about
what
was
necessary
to
address
the
issues
facing
that
court.
We
presented
a
detailed
analysis
and
recommendations
based
on
the
caseloads
and
the
legal
requirements
to
provide
adequate
representation.
R
At
that
point,
we
told
you
that
you
would
need
two
and
a
half
attorneys
and
an
investigator
for
budgetary
purposes.
We
said
we
would
start
with
two
attorneys
and
the
investigator.
We
pulled
our
senior
attorney
out
of
the
Superior
Court
rotation
as
a
third
attorney
in
that
court
to
establish
the
program,
get
everything
in
place
and
get
that
program
moving.
We
then
pulled
that
attorney
back
into
the
regular
rotation
in
Superior
Court
and
told
you.
R
That's
a
36%
increase
in
addition
to
that,
as
the
plurk
mentioned
a
little
while
ago
today,
as
we
speak,
they're
over
there
with
an
18-page
docket,
some
200
plus
cases
in
a
separate
courtroom
hold
with
a
second
judge
holding
court
in
addition
to
the
court
that
we
agreed
to
handle.
So
now
we
have
an
additional
core
and
a
significant
increase
in
the
caseload
occurring,
and,
while
we're
discussing
this,
that
courtroom
is
packed
with
citizens
with
traffic
tickets.
R
A
couple
of
dozen
police
officers,
a
second
judge
and
one
of
our
Superior
Court
attorneys
that
we
pulled
over
to
cover
that
today,
because
the
other
two
attorneys
have
to
tend
to
the
regular
court
duties.
The
judge
hunter
is
holding
for
preliminary
hearings
and
the
other
matters
that
routinely
appear
on
that
dock
and
the
interim
to
address
those
demands.
We
created
a
rotation
where
we
pull
some
of
our
Superior
Court
attorneys
over
and
one
of
our
Superior
Court
investigators
to
cover
some
of
the
additional
workload
in
that
additional
court
session.
R
However,
two
factors
are
going
to
prevent
us
from
doing
that
going
forward.
One
is
that
the
outlying
counties
that
we
service,
where
we've
been
pulling
some
of
those
attorneys
their
peak
court
time,
starts
in
the
spring,
so
they've
had
a
little
downtime,
but
now
they're
getting
back
to
their
required
Superior
Court
duties
and
they
have
to
move
forward
with
those
and
another
is,
unfortunately,
we're
losing
one
of
our
senior
attorneys
and
we're
going
to
lose
a
great
deal
of
experience
with
that.
R
So
we're
gonna
have
to
use
the
remaining
attorneys
to
cover
his
case
float
until
we
were
hire
a
replacement.
A
member
of
this
council's
firm
stole
away
one
of
our
good
lawyers
last
year,
and
so
now
we're
looking
at
replacing
a
another
attorney,
and
unfortunately
that
means
that
we
can't
provide
those
resources
that
are
funded
and
dedicated
to
Superior
Court
to
recorders
court,
which
is
a
separate
issue
and
not
part
of
our
state
mandate
and
part
of
our
state
funding,
and
we
share
when
we
can.
R
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
need
to
point
out
is
that
we
have
to
compare
well
first
off,
our
attorneys
are
exempt
employees,
they
don't
get
overtime
and
time,
and
even
if
we
gave
them
comp
time,
I
don't
have
the
resources
to
give
them
the
time
off.
If
they
asked
to
use
it.
When
you
have
two
people
in
there
doing
the
work
of
three
people,
one
of
them
can't
take
off
I
mean
that's
the
simple
reality.
R
So,
unless
I
have
somebody
available
from
the
Superior
Court
side
that
I
can
flip
over
there
for
the
afternoon
or
that
morning
session,
so
they
can
run
to
the
doctor
or
whatever
we
can't
not
have
them
in
court.
The
attorneys
have
to
be
there
at
7:00
in
the
morning
for
the
eight
o'clock
and
9
o'clock
court
session.
They
have
to
be
there
at
1
o'clock
for
the
two
o'clock
court
session.
R
If
the
eight
and
nine
o'clock
court
session
runs
long,
that
runs
into
lunch
means
they
don't
eat
lunch,
they
just
go
from
the
morning
session
to
the
back
to
the
holding
cell,
where
the
sheriff
has
the
people
down
for
the
afternoon
session
and
starts
talking
to
those
people
so
and
then,
if
the
afternoon
session
lasts
long
because
of
the
pushover,
then
they're
late
into
the
evening.
So
that
puts
a
tremendous
strain
and
the
reality
is.
We
compete
with
49
other
public
defenders
offices
in
the
state
for
qualified
lawyers.
That
burnout
is
a
reality.
R
We've
already
replaced
one
attorney
in
that
court
who
made
it
three
months
and
it
is
driven
by
the
time,
demands
and
the
stresses
of
the
of
the
caseloads
we
to
address
the
overtime
issue
we
are
and
the
fact
that
we're
not
going
to
have
some
of
that
coverage.
We
are
creating
a
rotation
and
what
that's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
short
the
court,
one
of
those
attorneys
for
at
least
one
session
to
allow
that
attorney
not
to
get
into
that
55
60
hour
unpaid
work
week.
R
So
we're
trying
to
structure
that
around
the
the
least
demanding
times
for
the
court
so
that
it
has
minimal
impact,
but
this
simple
truth
is:
it
will
impact
the
court
process
and
the
timeframe
in
which
those
cases
move.
That
domino
effect
is
that
it
then
apat
impacts
the
sheriff's
office
and
the
clerk's
office
as
well.
We
are
committed
to
making
this
program
work.
We
have
been
since
you
asked
us
to
come
to
you
a
little
over
a
year
ago
and
we
have
tried
to
pull
as
many
resources
in
as
we
can
to
make
this
happen.
R
But
the
simple
reality
is:
we
have
to
make
some
changes
in
our
initial
budget
request.
We
asked
for
the
addition
of
a
mid-level
attorney
that
was
a
salary
of
53,000
dollars,
with
benefits
and
administrative
surcharge,
I
believe
that
came
out
to
about
ninety
two
thousand
dollars
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
there
are
some
budget
constraints
and
we're
not
greedy.
We
try
very
hard
to
manage
your
money.
R
Over
the
last
four
years,
we
have
obtained
around
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
refunds
from
the
state
to
include
a
hundred
and
sixty
six
thousand
dollar
refund
for
the
last
fiscal
year.
Now,
I
expect,
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
we'll
get
the
city
back
a
little
more
money,
but
it's
way
too
early
for
me
be
be
able
to
tell
you
what
that
is
through
some
staffing
and
state
cost-sharing
changes.
Our
general
fund
budget
increases
in
your
proposed
budget.
Right
now
is
one
percent.
Well,
one
point:
zero.
R
Nine
percent
increase
to
be
exact,
so
we
try
and
toe
the
line
in
the
budget
process.
Our
proposal
by
bringing
in
an
entry-level
position
to
this
Robin
King,
is
here
with
my
boss,
mr.
Flournoy.
Today
she
is
our
lead
senior
attorney
and
we
proposed
to
bring
her
over
to
record
her
score
and
move
one
of
the
recorders
courts
attorney
over
into
Superior
Court,
because
we
have
more
attorneys
in
Superior
Court.
R
We
can
factor
in
a
slightly
less
experienced
attorney
over
there,
but
bringing
in
the
most
senior
attorney
we
have
besides
Moffitt
and
she
can
manage
a
younger
attorney
and
some
of
the
complications
in
that
court.
And
let
me
tell
you
you're
getting
way
more
than
you're
paying
for
in
the
funding
for
recorders
court
by
us,
putting
her
there
all
right,
you're
getting
more
bang
for
your
buck.
R
Then
then,
we've
ever
asked
for
in
the
past,
but
I
think
it's
appropriate
and,
as
we
explained
during
the
executive
session
about
staffing
and
they're,
all
being
state
attorneys,
we
have
the
flexibility
to
address
this
issue
by
bringing
her
into
that
court
with
the
one
of
the
existing
attorneys.
That's
over
there
and
this
new
entry
level
person
that
allow
us
to
dress
the
36%
increase
in
the
caseloads
and
this
additional
court
day
after
we
agreed
to
come
in
and
we
met
with
y'all
and
the
new
judges
come
in
over
there.
R
They
have
added
a
session
a
separate
day
of
court
in
the
second
courtroom,
with
a
second
judge
and
all
the
trimmings
that
go
with
that.
Well,
we
don't
have
an
extra
attorney
to
put
over
there,
but
we
are
obligated
to
find
a
way
to
cover
those
cases
without
the
ability
to
rotate
in
the
Superior
Court
attorneys.
What's
going
to
happen,
is
we're
going
to
cover
our
obligation
in
the
primary
core
and
when
one
of
those
attorneys
is
finished,
he
can
go
over
to
that
other
court.
R
But
you
can
imagine
if
there's
240
cases
sitting
over
there
that
that
no
matter
how
they
process
that
our
coming
in
there
after
court
starts
is
going
to
delay
that
to
some
degree
and
it's
unfair
to
the
attorney
and
to
the
client
to
some
degree.
The
time
constraints
that
we
have
in
that
court
are
already
difficult
to
manage
in
the
amount
of
time
that
I
get
to
speak
to
my
client,
because
it
is
a
preliminary
hearing.
R
It
is
a
lower
level
process,
but
I
still
need
to
have
that
time
and
and
and
and
before
somebody
says
well,
that's
just
traffic
court.
On
the
other
side,
there
are
a
lot
of
traffic
offenses
that
will
suspend
your
driver's
license
and
for
some
people
that
means
they're
losing
their
job
and
some
of
those
offenses
also
carry
jail
time.
So
the
attorneys
still
have
a
duty
to
represent
those
people.
R
Recordist
Court
has
made
significant
improvements
over
the
last
year
and
we
would
like
to
see
that
continue.
We
don't
want
it
to
revert
to
the
stepchild
problems
and
encounter
some
of
the
issues
we
had
in
years
past.
A
lot
of
progress
has
been
made
over
there.
We've
got
a
new
judge,
got
a
new
Clerk,
we're
involved
in
the
program,
and
everybody
is
working
to
make
this
work.
So
we're
gonna
ask
that
you
put
that
position
back
on
the
add
list
so
that
we
can
get
that
support
in
that
court.
N
B
N
R
R
R
You
stand
a
better
chance
of
getting
killed
by
a
stranger
in
a
car
wreck
than
you
do
of
being
murdered,
and
the
department
takes
that
seriously,
which
means
more
distracted,
driving
too
get
some
more
checkpoints,
more
license
violations
and
some
of
those
end
up
in
arrests,
because
once
you
have
that
initial
encounter
for
a
traffic
situation
and
they
pull
you
out
of
the
car
and
you
have
a
suspended
license
and
they
search
the
car,
they
find
some
mental
amount
of
drugs.
They
even
just
you
know
a
residual
amount.
R
G
G

K
K
B
B
N
S
S
As
my
administrative
secretary
she's,
a
g10
physician
would
like
to
like
to
move
her
position
up
to
an
administrative
assistant
that
makes
me
some
semantics
here
we're
playing,
but
with
classify
as
being
administrative
secretary,
it's
much
different
than
that
of
administrative
assistant,
the
administrative
secretary
in
my
mind,
my
definition,
is
pretty
much
answering
the
phone
goons
and
filing
things
of
that
nature.
The
administrator
of
the
system
actually
does
more
of
that
in
terms
of
actually
paying
invoices
keeping
meetings.
S
Things
of
that
nature
that
we
look
at
from
that
the
amount
we're
looking
at
bump
me
up
is
three
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
three
dollars,
that's
salary
with
benefits,
and
this
would
come
out
of
the
transportation
planning
of
federal
funds
we
received
now
for
that,
so
it
would
not
come
out
of
general
funds.
It
actually
come
out
of
the
fund
we've
set
aside
for
the
grant.
We
receive
a
Ministry
of
Li
to
run
the
MPO
and
other
other
operations.
So
that's
my
request.
Miss
Cheerilee.
K
That
it's
it's
an
80/20
funded
position
so
of
the
thirty
five
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
seven
dollars,
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
six
would
be
grant
funded.
That's
the
eighty
percent
and
seven
hundred
and
one
dollars
would
be
the
twenty
percent
local
funding
and
so
I
do
support
I
do
support
it.
Okay
and
and
it's
budgeted
for
it's
in
the
budget,
the
local
matches
and.
K
N
B
Within
the
general
fund
budget,
we
set
aside
a
certain
amount
of
monies
to
cover
all
the
matches
that
we
have
to
do
for
all
the
grant,
funded
programs
and
the
match
for
so
the
local
match.
Money
is
already
in
the
budget
in
the
general
fund
budget.
So
if
this
position
was
reclassified
and
that-
and
there
was
an
inker
in
there's
that
Inc,
they
increases
approved
for
3507,
the
match
itself
has
already
covered
within
the
amount
of
monies
that
we
budget
already
to
cover
local
matches.
We're.
K
N
A
B
B
C
O
Hope
not
to
take
too
much
of
your
time
this
afternoon.
I
am
here,
of
course,
to
answer
any
questions,
and
the
only
thing
that
I'm
aware
of
that's
on
this
agenda
for
Council's
approval
is
I
had
two
positions
that
I
would
like
to
see.
A
pay
increase
for
one
is
for
commander
Larry
Mitchell
in
the
jail,
which
should
be
a
2.5
percent.
O
Fourteen
and
since
I
have
35
positions
vacant
today,
I
would
more
than
willingly
leave
one
of
those
vacant
to
cover
this.
The
administration,
mr.
Alexander,
and
all
shows
that
I'd
be
about
$7,000
short.
However,
I'm
saving
44,000
from
the
retirement
of
chief
Fitzpatrick
so
I
see
all
of
these
as
being
budget
neutral,
but
I
need
Council's
approval
to
move
forward
with
those
things.
O
No
sir,
he
will
not
be
replaced.
His
position
will
fall
back
to
a
deputy's
position,
and
so,
of
course,
his
salary,
as
a
chief,
was
much
higher
than
what
a
deputy's
salary
would
be
and
I
believe
what
was
provided
to
me
was
approximately
forty
four
thousand
dollars.
It
was
the
difference
in
what
a
chief
would
make
him,
what
a
deputies.
O
Craig
I
don't
intend
to
replace
him
or
his
position.
I
would
just
replace
the
deputy
if
I
were
able
to
so
there's
considerable
salary
savings
and
and
I
believe
that
I
can
take
care
of
all
of
the
rest
of
these
pay
raises
and,
and
it's
sort
of
realized
things
a
little
better
with
his
retirement.
My
chief
has
more
responsibilities
and
obviously
my
Jail
commander
will
have
more
responsibilities.
I'm.
B
Unclear
as
to
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
I'm
sorry
I
was
passing
around
handouts
when
you
first
started
speaking
so.
But
what
what
is
included
in
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
is
the
reclassification
I'm
taking
the
majors
position,
reverting
that
back
to
a
deputy
sheriff
position,
which
is
it
from
the
great
22
to
a
grade?
Fourteen
there
is
a
budget
reduction
because
of
that
change,
and
so
included
in
the
mayor's
budget
is
a
reclassification
of
my
major
to
gel
commander
and
the
reclassification
of
the
chief
deputies
sheriff
from
a
great
24f
to
a
great
24.
O
If
we
don't
address
it
right
now
and
I
will
have
a
well
I,
say
I,
my
staff
and
I
will
have
accomplished
pay
reform
for
all,
but
approximately
50
of
our
employees
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
and
the
administration
for
that,
and
you
know
we
hope
to
move
forward
next
year
with
more
but
right
now
all
these
are
budget
neutral
as
I
see
them
and
and
I
would
like
your
approval
on
those
things.
Council.
T
I
think
I
hate
that
I
just
want
to
make
clear.
You
know
if
this
is
a
legislative
decision.
Obviously
so
I'm
not
weighing
in
when
way,
good
or
bad,
but
I
would
say.
I
would
contest
that
the
pay
reform
makes
compression
worse
and
the
only
reason
I
say
that
is
not
to
lock
horns
with
you
sheriff,
but
was,
but
we
have
that
discussion
alive,
as
you
can
imagine,
but
the
pay
reform
actually
steps
things
at
$1,000
1359
based
on
longevity,
so
particularly
over
the
years
it
begins
to
pull
you
away.
T
O
Just
see
a
way
to
address
pay
for
all,
but
50
of
our
employees
and
I
think
that,
considering
that
you
have
35
job
openings,
I
think
keeping
great
employees
issue
and
to
provide
them
an
incentive.
These
are
your
five
and
seven
and
ten
year,
employees
that
we
desperately
need
to
keep
and
I
personally,
just
again,
if
I
can
give
up
one
position
and
not
fill
it
and
provide
for
37
people,
an
additional
amount
of
money
I
see
that
as
a
win,
Angelica.
B
N
B
I
think
what
the
sheriff
is
proposing
and
I'll
have
to
come
back
to
you
with
the
particulars
as
far
as
the
numbers,
but
what
I
think
she
is
proposing
is
to
move
her
investigative
positions,
her
great
16
positions,
to
give
those
folks
a
two-and-a-half
percent
increase,
which
and
I
think
her
strategy
for
funding.
That
increase
is
to
run
to
fun,
but
not
feel
and
correct.
A
deputy
sheriff
position,
that's
correct.
O
B
To
not
fill
one
right
well,
the
change
for
that
position
is
already
wrapped
into
the
budget.
So
there's
no
no
savings
from
that.
So
we
use
that
money
to
supply
the
other
reclassifications
and
then
took
that
money.
Is
we
don't
have
any
additional
savings
from
that
major
reclassification
down
to
the
deputy
sheriff?
So
we
say
that
again
or.
O
O
B
O
This
is
miss
Alexander
and
Miss
Halliwell.
To
give
me
those
numbers
that
is
where
I
got
them
from
when
I
came
up
with
the
idea
of
let's
try
to.
Let's
try
to
do
this
now
and
I
asked
advice:
do
it
do
it
now,
it's
just
the
time
and
they
suggest
do
it
during
the
budget
process,
go
ahead
and
bring
it
forward
to
sheriff.
N
N
N
T
T
A
C
C
C
U
U
U
This
is
a
simple
request,
but
it
is
an
urgent
request
and
it's
almost
laughably
small,
but
we're
here
asking
for
a
part-time
person
to
help
us
in
Magistrate
Court.
It's
confusing
I'm.
The
only
judge
that
wear
that
that
is
really
two
judges,
I'm
the
magistrate
judge
and
the
Municipal
Court
judge.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
Municipal
Court.
This
has
only
something
to
do
with
magistrate
court,
and
this
is
our
problem.
I
think
I've
got
a
handout.
U
Just
now
you
might
have
gotten
one
before,
but
the
page
that
I
want
you
to
see
is
the
one
that
has
the
years
2010
through
really
2018
they're
in
a
and
some
numbers.
That's
the
important
one
we're
asking
for
this
part-time
person,
because
our
the
number
of
cases
filed
in
Magistrate
Court
has
doubled
since
2011
I
started
at
the
end
of
2010
and
from
then
until
now
are
the
cases
filed
doubled
from
a
little
bit
less
than
3500
to
this
year
long
pace
for
over
7,000
we're
not.
We
always
have
fill
clerks
forever.
U
Today,
we've
had
four
clerks,
we're
not
asking
for
for
more
clerks,
because
we
got
twice
the
work,
we're
asking
for
120
hour
a
week,
person
at
the
lowest
pay
scale,
I
think
it
comes
out
to
$12,000.
It
may
be
a
little
bit
less
we're
asking
that.
Why
are
we
asking
for
that?
Well,
the
number
of
cases
have
doubled.
The
good
news
is
city
revenue
on
the
filing
fees
in
Magistrate,
Court
helped
double
11:2.
Now
73,000
is
what
we
got
the
city
park
in
2011
and
in
18
its
project
to
be
over
150,000.
U
So
we
need
this
person.
While
we
need
this
person
well,
it
is
because
our
cases
have
taken
office.
While
we
we
have
more
cases
because
more
being
filed,
why
are
they
being
filed?
Magistrate
Court
offers
an
opportunity
for
lawyers
to
not
have
to
go
through
discovery
and
a
lot
of
the
other
stuff.
They
can
get
a
trial
really
quickly,
and
so
that
makes
us
popular
now.
Your
everyday
citizen
isn't
the
reason
that
our
business
is
doubled.
U
The
reason
our
business
has
doubled
is
because
we
have
some
very
large
Atlanta
collection,
law
firms
and
out-of-state
collection
law
firms
that
are
filing
when
they
filed
they
don't
file
one
or
two
cases,
dozens
and
dozens.
Maybe
a
couple
of
hundred
at
a
time
comes
in
why
it's
because
the
big
credit
card
companies
can't
collect
their
debt,
they
sell
their
bad
debt.
People
buy
it
for
pennies
on
the
dollar
than
they
hire
these
big
law
firms
to
collect
it
for
them,
and
it
all
ends
up
in
our
court.
U
We
can't
keep
going
the
way
we've
been
doing
now.
We
just
can't
handle
the
volume
I'm
dating
myself,
but
some
of
you
may
not
admit
it.
Some
of
you
remember
this.
You
remember
Lucy
on
the
Lucy
show
when
she's
in
the
factory
and
the
gumballs
are
coming
and
she's
got
to
put
them
in
a
box.
Well,
that
that
line
is
going
so
fast
now
they're
calling
him
for.
We
can't.
You
know
we
can't
handle
it.
What
will
the
20
hour
person
do?
She
will
be
doing
nothing
but
taking
cases
that
we
processed
and
filing
them?
U
V
N
A
W
First,
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
our
allocations
that
were
supposed
to
be
receiving
this
year,
real
briefly
for
Community
Development,
Block,
Grant
funding.
It
looks
like
we're
going
to
begin
about
1.5
million
home
investment
partnership
program,
funding
about
six
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand.
We
have
some
program:
income,
carryover
funding
and
CDBG,
and
the
amount
of
about
five
hundred
forty
five
thousand
some
home
carryover
in
about
80
one
thousand
and
then
for
our
real
estate
141,000
for
a
total
about
2.8
million
dollars.
W
So
to
talk
about
our
administrative
portion
a
little
bit,
our
administrative
for
CDBG
will
cut,
will
be
about
four
hundred
six
thousand
dollars
and
what
we'll
be
paying
for
for
administrative
funds
out
of
home
is
about
one
hundred
and
seventy
three
thousand.
So
currently
we
have
six
budgeted
positions.
Five
of
those
are
full-time.
W
One
is
a
part-time
clerical
position
and
this
year
we're
asking
for
one
additional
position
for
fiscal
year,
19
to
be
our
real
estate
technician,
so
that
one
position
that
we're
asking
for
would
be
to
assist
the
city
with
the
disposition
of
city-owned
properties,
and
it
would
be
working
with
our
Columbus
land
bank
Authority
to
acquire
demolish,
blighted
and
tax
delinquent
properties
and
placing
them
back
into
productive
use.
This
position
would
be
funded,
100%,
utilizing,
CDBG
program
income,
it
would
be
used.
W
The
grant
funding
that
will
be
used
with
the
land
bank
would
be
CDBG
and
NSP
program
income.
So
that's
the
funding
that
they
would
actually
be
using
in
conjunction
with
this
one
person
to
do
acquisitions
to
militias
and
dispositions.
The
funding
for
the
land
bank
was
approved
by
City
Council
for
fiscal
year.
2018
in
this
position
that
we're
requesting
would
be
actually
a
temporary
position
for
two
fiscal
years
with
hopes
that
after
a
year
or
two,
the
land
bank
would
become
self-sufficient
and
we
would
be
able
to
transfer
the
position
over
to
the
land
bank.

We're
looking
at
trying
to
do
some
additional
property
acquisitions,
maybe
in
some
of
our
redevelopment
areas
and
those
would
also
probably
most
likely
be
like
blighted
properties.
So
we
put
about
176
in
that
we
have
our
mandated
section
3
job
training
program,
which
is
something
the
HUD
requires
us
to
do.
We
put
20,000
in
that
and
then
for
the
land
bank
Authority,
the
four
hundred
fourteen
thousand
in
program
income
and
that's
the
money
that
they
would
actually
use
to
do
some
of
the
property
acquisitions,
demolitions
and
Department
dispositions.
W
So
we
did
our
RFP
for
our
public
service
grants
for
this
year,
and
these
are
the
applicants
that
submitted
applications-
and
these
are
this
is
the
recommended
funding
that
each
one
of
these
organizations
would
be
receiving.
We
have
two
new
applicants
this
year,
our
instrument,
services
and
an
organization
I
was
trying
to
find
the
other
one.
Oh
Parks
and
Recreation
submitted
a
midnight
basketball
program
League,
so
we
recommended
25,000
to
that
as
well.
Job.
W
For
recreation,
as
I
was
saying
about,
300
did
that
to
try
to
do
some
renovations
for
some
existing
recreation,
centers
or
playgrounds,
and
then
the
connectivity
of
200,000
minor
home
repair.
Just
this
is
a
program
that's
currently
existing
this
year.
This
is
for
an
additional
150
next
year
and
we
utilize
Habitat
for
Humanity
as
our
partner
for
that
program.
The
accessibility
program
80,000
again
they're,
currently
doing
the
program
as
we
speak
this
year
as
well,
and
we
work
with
access
to
end
up
independence
for
that
program.
W
Demolitions.
Of
course,
we
work
with
inspections
and
codes.
We
were
able
to
increase
that
a
little
bit
to
90,000
for
next
year
and
then
our
section
3
program.
So
for
our
home
program
we
have
the
affordable
home
housing
development.
A
neighbor
works
submitted
an
application
for
some
proposed
redevelopment
of
homes
in
Anderson
Village,
the
city
village,
in
North
Highlands
area,
which
is
one
of
their
target
areas.
Right
now
and
they're
also
used
utilizing
some
of
the
funding
to
do
a
gap.
W
Subsidy
program,
which
will
help
low
to
moderate
income
residents,
become
homeowners,
and
then
some
funding
could
be
used
for
additional
for
the
affordable
housing
projects
in
Columbus
as
well.
A
tenant
based
rental
assistance,
that's
a
program
that
we
provide
rental
assistance
to
those
who
are
homeless
or
at
risk
of
becoming
homeless
and
open
door.

Mr.
Hutchinson
is
here
because
counsel
requested
to
see
all
departments
with
reclassification
and
he
has
one
reclassification
that's
already
included
in
the
budget.
It
is
taking
a
special
Enforcement
supervisor
grade
15
to
a
special
enforcement
coordinator
grade
17,
so
he's
just
explaining,
based
on
the
job
description
that
was
submitted
to
CSU,
while
he's
taking
it
why
they
agreed
that
it
should
be
a
17.
