Description
Columbus Ga FY21 Budget Briefings
B
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
this
fourth
meeting
of
the
budget
review
committee,
we
are
meeting
for
the
first
time
in
person
and
it's
a
little
different
than
we
are
accustomed
to,
but
it's
good
to
be
able
to
see
folks
and
to
see
them
in
their
in
this
natural
setting.
If
you
will
our
unnatural
setting,
but
at
whichever
we're
going
to
start
this
afternoon.
The
only
thing
on
our
agenda
for
today
is
our
add
delete
list.
But
before
we
get
to
that
I'm
going
to
ask
the
clerk
of
Council
Sandra
Davis
to
call
the
roll.
C
C
C
A
C
C
B
Thank
you,
mr.
Davis,
when
we
were
doing
this
virtually
it
was
at
this
point
that
I
would
say.
Please
mute
your
mic
if
you
have
not
used
one
of
these,
it's
the
the
button
on
the
right
hand,
side
that
will
turn
it
on
it'll
turn
red
and
then,
when
you're
finished,
if
you
will
hit
it
again
and
go
off
I
think
that
will
help
us
all
out.
As
we
get
started,
I
would
like
to
call
on
our
mayor
mayor
Henderson,
to
bring
us
some
work
to
breathe.
D
D
One
thought
that
I
would
like
to
submit
to
this
council
for
their
consideration
is
to
hold
the
entire
and
delete
list
in
abeyance
until
such
time
that
council
determines
that
it
can
be
addressed
and
adopted.
I,
don't
think
that
precludes
us
from
going
through
it
here
to
discuss
some
of
the
items,
but
I
think
what
that
does.
D
In
that
way,
you
can,
you
can
have
more
confidence,
I,
think
and
feel
better
about
some
of
the
items
on
the
end,
delete
list
and,
of
course,
any
add,
delete
list
items
that
are
revenue
neutral,
obviously
not
necessarily
need
to
be
impacted
by
that.
But
but
if,
if
council
were
to
choose
to
continue
with
the
add
delete
list,
each
item
today,
which
is
fine,
that's
your
prerogative
I
would
I
would
ask
that
you
at
least
consider
perhaps
delaying
the
recurring
revenue
expenses
anything
to
do
with
any
payroll
or
anything.
D
That's
gonna
be
payable
on
a
regular,
regular
monthly
basis,
and
the
reason
is
is
because
we've
got
a
pretty
decent
fund.
Balance
reserve
fund
balance
right
now.
We
don't
know
how
much
we
may
have
to
dip
into
that
as
we
move
forward.
So
again.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
and
thank
you
for
the
great
job
you've
done
for
the
citizens
and
lay
that
out
there
for
your
consideration
as
an
approach
to
how
we
do
with
the
add
tool
and
delete
list
today.
So
thank
you.
You.
B
Know
mr.
mayor,
my
my
grandmother
used
to
say
great
minds
run
together
and
our
finance
directors
mind
was
running
along
the
same
lines
as
what
you
were
saying
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
in
just
a
minute
if
you
will,
but
before
we
do,
that
I
do
want
to
call
on
our
city
manager
if
he
has
any
words
of
wisdom
for
us
this
afternoon.
Mr.
city
manager.
Thank.
E
E
I
share
a
list
of
what
I
consider
bad
news
and
not
just
bad
news
for
Columbus,
but
bad
news
for
other
cities
that
I
named
specifically
across
Georgia,
not
just
bad
news
for
cities
and
counties.
I
share
with
you
bad
news
that
was
coming
down
from
the
state
of
Georgia
and
since
that
time,
I've
repeatedly
sent
to
all
of
the
elected
officials
and
department
heads
bad
news,
articles
that
were
coming
from
cities
across
the
state
and
positions
that
they
were
taken
at
that
time.
E
Regarding
furloughs
and
reductions
in
workforce
and
employees,
taking
budget
taken,
salary,
wage
cuts
and
unemployment
rate
how
its
skyrocketed,
and
so
as
I
agree
with
the
mayor.
I
wanted
to
just
say
that
I
hope
that
you
have
noticed
that
not
a
single
general
government
department
here,
as
appear
before
this
budget
review
committee,
and
that
is
because
I
kept
sharing
news
with
not
just
general
government
Department.
E
They
can
come
back
in
a
future
year
when
things
are
better
and
I
think
they
agreed,
and
so
they
didn't
come
forward
and
and
then
I
had
I
shared
with
them.
That
I
did
not
think
there
would
be
an
a
delete
list.
I
said
I,
don't
think
counsel
is
going
to
do
in
a
a
delete
list
and
that's
another
reason.
We
just
need
to
work
together.
Well
week
after
week,
they've
watched
in
a
delete
list
and
they
really
started
emailing
and
texting.
E
They
called
in
me
during
the
last
budget
meeting,
for
example,
and
I'm
going
to
be
specific,
because
even
during
the
budget
meeting,
the
finance
director
texted
me
and
said
I
really
need
that
position.
That
we
talked
about
if
they
are
going
to
have
an
add,
delete
list
and
I
had
other
public
works.
They
want
it
to
be
on
this
agenda.
Today,
I
talked
to
them
as
late
as
Friday
night
at
6
o'clock,
because
they
wanted
to
be
on
this
agenda
because
of
their
needs.
E
But
if
there's
going
to
be
an
ant
illegal
list
today
or
if
it's
going
to
be
later,
I
want
them
to
have
their
opportunity
to
share
with
you
their
needs
and
concerns,
and
so,
as
I
end,
this
I
will
just
repeat
that
I
kind
of
shared
with
you
in
my
opening
remarks
from
dr.
Jeffrey
Dorfman,
an
economist
for
Governor
Brian
Kim,
where
he
says
if
there's
a
recession.
E
Now
it's
not
the
time
to
say
we
have
this
extra
revenue.
Let's
start
a
new
program,
be
conservative
in
budgeting
and
make
sure
you
have
money
in
the
bank.
Do
not
assume
your
revenue
will
continue
to
grow
in
the
coming
years.
Do
more
one-time
things
and
less
ongoing
programs.
If
we
have
a
recession,
the
stock
market
will
not
keep
going
up.
E
So
if
your
pension
plan
is
underfunded,
it
will
not
get
better,
and
so
I
say
that
if
we
work
together,
as
I've
said
it
to
the
department
heads
we
can
get
through
the
financial
challenges
presented
to
us
by
this
unprecedented
pandemic
and
get
back
to
a
sense
of
normalcy.
Thank
you,
madam
budget.
Cheering.
B
Thank
You
mr.
city
manager,
I,
do
want
to
remind
our
listening
audience
of
the
procedures
that
we
have
followed
during
this
and
will
continue
to
follow
as
we
as
we
come
through.
With
this,
we
have,
as
you
know,
the
mayor
with
working
with
the
city
manager
and
the
finance
director.
The
deputy
C
managers
put
together
a
proposed
budget.
They
presented
that
to
us
the
end
of
April
and
for
the
four
Tuesdays
in
May
we
have
talked
about.
B
B
We
have
added
some
things
on
that
list
and
we
have
deleted
some
things
on
that
list
each
week,
as
we
have
done
that
that's
all
we
did
was
we
put
them
on
the
list,
and
today
is
the
day
that
we
go
through
that
list
and
make
the
decision
of
what
are
we
going
to
do?
Are
we
going
to
add
there?
Are
we
going
to
delete
it
or
what
are
we
going
to
do?
B
We
will
vote
on
the
budget.
It
will
be.
There
will
be
announcements
in
the
ledger
about
what
we're
doing
and
how
it's
doing
and
all
of
those
kinds
of
things
when
we
get
to
that
point,
I'm
sure
the
finance
director
will
give
us
those
exact
dates
and
times
and
where
those
meetings
are
going
to
be.
But
today
we
do
have
this
list
before
us.
B
One
of
the
things
that
the
finance
director
and
I
talked
about
that
I
would
throw
out
for
the
council's
consideration.
Is
that
as
we
go
through
the
add
delete
list,
if
an
item
does
not
require
any
additional
funding,
there
are
some
items
on
this
list
that
are
budget
neutral
and
do
not
include
any
ongoing
funds.
B
Those
might
be
might
be
and
I'm
saying
that,
because
it's
your
vote,
Council
of
what
to
do
approve
today,
if
there
are
some
things
on
this
list,
that
in
order
for
us
to
do
our
fiduciary
responsibilities,
we're
going
to
take
some
study.
For
example,
there
are
a
couple
of
things
on
the
list
that
want
us
to
do
to
make
some
changes
to
the
pension.
Poignant.
Well,
I,
don't
know
about
you,
but
I'm,
not
saying
okay.
B
Let's
do
that
because
there's
been
no
study
of
that
and
what
it
means
to
us
and
of
course
the
other
thing
is
with
the
financial
situation
that
we're
in
with
the
state
of
Georgia,
requiring
their
departments
to
come
up
with
a
14.5
percent
cut
in
their
budget.
We're
not
sure
what's
going
to
happen,
so
what
the
finance
director
and
I
are
suggesting
that
we
do
is
that
we
go
through
this
list
today
and
that
if
there
are
items
on
this
list
that
you
as
the
counselor,
what
we
typically
do
is
to
say.
B
But
we're
going
to
ask
that
you
that
all
of
those
items
that
we
do
not
take
action
on
today
not
disappear,
but
that
we
come
back
on
September,
the
29th
and
the
reason
I'm
saying
September.
The
29th
is
that
you
remember
that
in
months
that
have
five
Tuesdays
in
them
that
last
Tuesday
is
generally
a
work
session
and
that
we
come
back
on
September
the
29th
and
take
another
look
at
those
items
that
may
have
been
left
on
the
a
delete
list.
B
There's
some
of
the
items
on
this
list
that
I
have
had
counselors
already
say
to
me.
I
want
to
take
that
off
completely
there's
some
that
may
need
to
stay
on
here
and
let
us
revisit.
We
typically
do
not
do
that.
We
typically
do
not
revisit
the
budget
and
the
add
delete
list
until
mid
year
at
most.
But
what
we
are
proposing
today
is
that
we
have
a
budget
review
session
on
that
September.
B
The
29th
meeting
that
it
be
part
of
the
council
meeting
that
it
be
scheduled
as
of
today
and
that
we
come
back
to
take
another
look
at
this.
That
will
give
us,
as
the
mayor
said
several
months
experience.
If
you
will
this
financial
situation,
we
are
not
sure
exactly
where
we
stand
because
of
some
of
the
reports
that
we
get
from
the
state
government
are
a
month
later,
and
so
this
would
give
us
five
or
six
months
of
the
financial
crisis,
to
make
some
decisions
about
what
we
want
to
do
and
then
to
come
back.
B
The
second
time
in
January
and
I.
Think
it's!
The
26th
is
the
last
Tuesday
in
January.
When
we
typically
would
do
would
have
the
question
of
the
mid-year
adjustment,
and
that
would
give
us
two
more
times
when
we
look
at
what's
going
on
and
we
see
if,
if
it's
something
that
we
can
do
or
if
it's
something
that
we
need
to
to
move
on,
I
also
had
several
of
the
counselors
say
to
me.
B
Let's
use
some
of
the
time
between
now
and
the
end
of
September
are
now
in
the
end
of
January
and
take
a
look
at
and
study
some
of
the
items
that
have
come
before
us.
So
that,
basically,
is
the
proposal
that
we
would
put
before
you
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
counselors
and
I.
Think,
let's
see,
how
do
we
do
this
I
want
to
raise
your
hand
or
you
want
to.
B
B
G
Be
glad
to
you've
got
to
pass
a
fiscal
year
budget
in
June
before
July
1
under
the
Charter,
but
if
you
need
to
address
it
in
three
months
for
possible
amendments
or
in
six
months,
you
can
do
that.
It's
purely
the
pleasure
of
council,
but
remember
again,
it's
an
annual
budget
for
a
12-month
fiscal
year
period.
B
And
in
case
I
didn't
make
it
clear
we
would,
we
would
go
through
the
usual
procedures
of
adopting
this
budget
of
having
the
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
meetings
and
all
of
those
kinds
of
things
adopt.
The
budget
adopt
the
millage
rate,
as
we
typically
do,
but
then
come
back
in
September
to
take
another
look
and
see
where
we
are
and
if
there's
something
that
we
did
not
approve
in
the
budget
process,
can
we
do
something
with
it
now?
Does
that
help
at
all
counselor.
H
H
As
far
as
the
question
about
the
process,
we
do
have
a
process
in
place
and
it's
part
of
the
budgetary
ordinance
requirements
and
I
think
it's
set
up
in
such
a
way
that,
without
going
through
the
budget
process,
there
needs
to
be
an
approval
of
the
mayor,
the
city
manager
or
the
finance
director,
which
is
actually
in
line
with
what
we're
talking
about,
because
I'm
sure
that
they
would
make
a
recommendation
to
us
to
move
forward.
So
it
does
meet
those
requirements
outside
of
that
I.
H
Don't
think
we
really
have
a
midterm
budget
review
from
that
standpoint,
it's
it's
usually
in
the
form
of
either
emergency
request
or
it's
brought
to
us
in
the
form
of
a
recommendation.
I'm
pretty
sure.
That's
what
the,
but,
as
far
as
the
budgetary
ordinance
requirements
go.
That's
the
process
of
my
ripeness
city
attorney.
Mr.
G
That
is
true.
That
would
come
in
the
form
of
a
recommendation,
but
this
council
can
pass
an
ordinance
that
mid-year
or
in
three
months
after
the
first
quarter
of
the
fiscal
year.
If
the
council
deems
it's
necessary
to
my
formal
amendments
that
would
be
added
funds
or
deleted
funds
from
the
fiscal
year
budget,
it
certainly
can
be
a
recommendation
of
the
administration
or
Finance.
H
Under
I
think
under
the
process,
if
it
is
set
up
in
such
a
way
that
it's
very
appropriate
there
in
this
situation
and
the
times
were
in
because
I
believe
that
our
executive
management
would
be
able
to
take
a
well,
they
would
be
able
to
take
a
close
look
at
all
these
requests
at
the
right
time
appropriately,
because
I
don't
think
they're
all
coming
at
once.
They
may
come
at
different
times
depending
on
the
quarter,
but
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate.
H
H
I
Know
this
is
something
that
all
areas
are
experiencing
because
we're
in
unprecedented
times
right
now,
so
I
think
that
what
you
outlined
is
very
prudent
for
us
to
follow,
because
it
gives
us
a
wiggle
room
and
adjustments.
And
so
I
would
think
that
this
would
be
something
that
we
as
a
council
would
all
agree
to
something
like
this
year.
J
Just
want
to
make
sure
we
we
clarified
and
the
request
that's
being
made
is,
if
anything
in
there,
that
it's
neutral,
we
don't
have
to
takes
under
fun
balance.
We
would
approve
that
today,
anything
that
will
require
from
the
fund
balance
the
reserves.
We
would
delay
that,
if
I'm
understanding
correctly
and
then
any
of
the
ones
that
we
want
to
delete
today,
that's
what
we'll
do
is
that
correct
in
the
process.
B
$42,000
increased
clothing
allowance
that
would
that
would
not
be
approved
today,
but
it
would
not
disappear
completely.
We
may
come
back
in
September
and
say:
hey.
We've
had
a
windfall.
Let's,
let's
do
that
or
we
may
not.
So
it's
just
one
of
those
as
councillor
Barnes
said
we're
pretty
fluid
here
and
as
long
as
we
have
our
city
attorney
to
keep
us
legal
and
you
will
vote
you,
city
attorney.
J
B
They're
surprised,
I
said:
there's
several
of
the
items
that
are
on
the
list
that
I've
had
councils
already
say
to
me:
I
want
to
pull
that
from
the
list.
So
what
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
mr.
City
Attorney?
Do
you
think
at
this
point
that
we
may
need
a
motion
of
some
kind
to
set
that
September
day
are
just
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
recognized
that
we
want
to
come
back
at
that
time
and
revisit
this
I?
Don't
know
that
we
need
any
formal
action.
Do
we
know.
F
You
I
was
gonna
recommend
that
maybe,
if
a
counselor
has
something
to
delete,
we
go
ahead
and
delete
those
because
then
we
don't
have
to
address
them
again
and
then
secondly,
have
Angelica,
give
us
the
numbers
of
those
that
are
budget
neutral,
and
we
can
address
those
in
in
one
vote,
possibly
or
if
we
wanted
to
pull
one
of
those
items
and
then
whatever
is
left,
then
we
address
them
down
the
list.
Just.
B
B
B
K
So
the
first
item
on
the
list
is
a
deletion.
It's
a
funding
correction
in
the
real
estate
department
for
a
position
that
was
not
included
in
the
mayor's
recommended
but
budget.
However,
the
funding
was
still
listed
there
in
the
amount
of
fifty
nine
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
four
dollars.
This
actually
adds
back
to
the
fund
balance
0.11
days.
K
B
L
B
K
F
B
K
B
K
K
B
K
J
That's
why
I
was
trying
to
clarify
earlier
and
based
on
the
mayor's
comments
and
the
city
manager
and
our
budget
chair,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
lay
it
because
I
do
not
want
to
get
to
the
point
where
were
financially
struggle
and
we'll
have
to
lay
off
employees.
That's
what
I'm
worrying
about
with
the
economy.
The
way
it
is
so
I
still
do
want
to
bring
it
back,
but
I
won't
delay
it
for
now.
Mr.
J
J
B
J
Just
run
for
the
District
Attorney
and
anyone
else
that
I
own
placed
on
here-
that's
not
me,
you
chose
to
please
understand
we're
in
a
tight
position
right
now,
we're
being
told
by
our
finance
director,
our
mayor
or
city
manager,
our
co-chair,
how
concerned
they
are
and
worried,
and
we
don't
want
to
be
like
any
other
company
or
someone
else.
I'll
lay
off
people
because
we
spend
more
than
we
should
in
our
budget.
Please
keep
in
mind.
It's
gonna
come
back,
it's
just
not
today.
Thank
you.
J
M
B
Let's
do
it
that
way,
then,
if
there
is,
if
there
is
one
of
these
items
that
you
particularly
wish
to
speak
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
let's
get
that
item
number
will
come
back
and,
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
you
want
to
add
it.
It
just
means
you
want
to
talk
about
it
right.
You
may
want
to
add
it
or
you
may
want
to
delete
it
completely.
B
E
Thank
you,
ma'am,
but
but
cheer
up
we
were
able
to
look
at
the
various
departments.
We
identified
a
fairly
new
van
with
very
low
mileage
on
it
that
could
better
be
used
in
elections
and
that
department
was
willing
to
give
up
that
venue
and
I
had
them
to
get
with
elections.
Director,
Nancy
Bohr
and
she
looked
at
the
van
and
she's
really
excited
about
it.
And
so
we
are
going
to
transfer
that
van
from
information
technology
to
elections,
and
she
has
indicated
for
email
and
text
that
she's
very
pleased
and
that
will
satisfy
the
need.
E
B
C
C
B
J
B
L
B
B
J
B
Think
that
that
what
happened
with
this
particular
item
shows
how
our
staff
works
together
within
a
week's
time.
This
was
done,
and
mr.
city
manager
I
appreciate
your
efforts
in
this.
If
this
motion
passes
I
appreciate
your
efforts
in
this
department,
the
motion
on
the
table
is
to
delete
item
11
any
further
discussion.
J
B
K
L
K
L
B
B
B
J
B
B
M
B
H
Yes,
I
wanted
to
I
think
it
was
brought
up,
and
we
didn't
ask
this
question
when
this
was
presented
to
us,
but
I'm,
not
you
know,
I'm
still
trying
to
walk
through
this
request
of
software.
You
know,
sometimes
you
feel
like
you.
Can
you
know
with
a
little
magic,
you
can
use
Excel
or
a
spreadsheet
or
whatever,
and
you
can
put
these
things
together
and
I'm.
You
know,
I'm
look
I
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
our
IT
department.
H
K
H
H
J
B
B
M
Uh-Huh
what
what
my
statement
was
earlier?
My
intent
was
that
we
anybody
that
has
something
on
the
list
they
want
to
specifically
talk
about
now,
then
we
would
talk
about
that.
Otherwise
we
would
vote
on
the
list
in
time
in
its
entirety
to
delay
it
for
mid
your
budget.
That
was
my
thought
yeah,
instead
of
going
through
him
one
at
a
time,
so
is
that,
okay,
with
everybody.
L
M
B
B
B
M
E
B
H
H
You
councillor
Allen
for
for
adding
that
point
about
request
the
item
number
six
and
seven
is
the
request
by
the
sheriff.
The
six
is
actually
a
motion
to
add.
Seven
is
a
motion
to
delete
I'm
looking
at
that,
that's
a
request
by
our
sheriff
she's
elected
officer,
she's,
a
constitutional
officer
that
is
actually
budget
neutral
that
you
can
do
within
her
budget.
So
I
would
like
to
bring
that
up
as
a
consideration.
That's
what
exactly
what
that
is.
H
B
B
N
B
N
Madam
budget
chair
on
number
12,
the
clerk,
the
Superior
Court,
is
also
a
constitutional
officer,
and
it
was
brought
to
our
attention
that
in
the
fact
that
they
generate
a
lot
of
revenue
in
that
area,
they're
doing
their
audit
that
they
had.
It
was
recommended
by
the
auditor
to
add
this
person
as
the
checks
and
balance.
As
far
as
who
takes
in
money
who
makes
deposits
and
all
of
that
good
things.
N
B
A
F
Excuse
me
I
thought
that
we
were
I
thought.
The
motion
was
that
we
were
going
to
approve
them
all
in
one
shot,
the
ones
that
we
were
going
to
discuss
later
so
you're.
Why
are
you
wanting
to
pull
15?
Because
don't
you
want
that
to
be
included
in
what
we
discussed
admit
her,
so
we
wouldn't
pull
that
from
the
list.
If
it's
my
understanding,
that's.
B
B
I
B
B
N
N
Well,
since
we
don't-
let
me
say
this,
then
I'm
in
agreement
with
Council
Barnes,
pulling
it
to
September
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
comment
to
councilor
Davis's
point
that
the
clerk
sent
out
an
email
from
IT
stating
that
there
is
no
fixing
what
they
have.
They
can't
take
an
egg
sale.
They
can't
take
anything
else
that
in
eight
months
and
by
eight
months
time,
the
system
will
be
antiquated
and
they
won't
be
able
to
do
anything
in
that
office.
N
So,
based
on
what's
coming
up
and
this
being
made,
we
still
have
a
little
time,
I
think
they
said
they
have
eight
months,
but
you
know
the
clerk
can
verify
the
email
that
she
sent
out
to
us
sandesh
you
got
with
IT
and
IT
vetted
all
of
the
information
and
said
this
is
a
net
necessity
going
forward
for
her
office
within
eight
month
time
period.
I.
B
N
B
I
think,
according
to
what
the
city
attorney
has
said,
even
if
we
pull
something
off
this,
if
we,
if
we
revisit
the
budget,
you
can
bring
it
back,
I
mean
a
council
can
always
say
I'm.
You
know,
I
want
to
move
that
we
do
such-and-such
and
take
your
chances
on
getting
a
second
and
a
positive
vote.
Okay,.
K
Believe
what
I
understand
the
the
direction
of
counsel
and
currently,
where
we
stand,
Council
has
approved
items
one
two
three
and
four
in
the
general
phone
counsel
has
also
approved
items
number
411
for
deletion
and
also
approve
item
number
14
for
deletion
on
the
general
fund
page
as
well
as
items
1
&
2
on
the
other
funds,
page
as
it
relates
to
item
number
14
on
the
general
fund
page.
Those
are
all
of
the
action
items
that
I
have
denoted.
That
council
has
taken
all
the
other
items
on
the
list.
K
I
was
under
the
impression
that
council
would
delay
those
items
with
the
exception
of
the
items
being
pooled,
which
was
at
the
request
of
council.
Davis
I
was
number
6
and
7
since
those
two
items
combined
our
budget,
neutral
and
I-
think
that's
all
of
what
I
have
so
all
the
other
items.
Besides
item
number
6
and
7
would
be
delay
is
my
interpretation
of
all
of
the
discussion
that
has
just
been
had.
K
N
N
K
So
the
only
items
that
will
require
action
in
the
form
of
a
delay
will
be
item
number
eight
in
the
general
on
the
first
page
in
the
general
fund,
which
would
be
for
the
public
defender's
office.
The
increase
in
operating
expenses
would
be
item
number
nine,
which
is
the
building
improvements
for
the
police
department
in
the
Public
Safety
Building
would
be
item
number
ten
for
the
police
department,
which
would
have
been
an
increase
in
the
clothing
allowance
from
$600
to
$1,000
annually.
K
Would
be
on
the
delay?
I
have
number
12,
which
would
have
been
one
full-time
deputy
clerk,
two
for
the
clerk
of
Superior
Court
also
on
the
delay
list,
would
be
item
number
thirteen,
the
purchasing
of
the
board
management
software
for
the
Clerk
of
Council
item
number
15,
which
would
have
been
the
to
update
the
police.
Longevity
pay
reform
for
year,
three
to
$3,500.
K
That
completes
the
delay
items
on
the
first
page.
On
the
second
page.
The
item
to
delay
items
to
delay
would
be
the
purchasing
of
the
nine
life
pack
defibrillators
for
the
Fire
EMS
department
would
be
the
purchasing
of
31
vehicles
with
26
installation
packages
for
the
police
department
and
that
completes
the
items
for
delay.
K
B
H
B
B
C
L
K
K
So
far,
items
number
one
on
the
first
page
items
number
one:
two
three
and
four
have
been
approved
by
council
items.
Number
five
items
has
been
delayed.
Item
number
six
and
seven
has
been
pulled
for
discussion
today.
Out
of
number
eight
nine
and
ten
have
been
delayed.
Item
number
eleven
has
been
deleted
from
the
list.
That
was
official
action
by
Council
to
delete
item
number
twelve
has
been
delayed.
Item
number.
Thirteen
is
delay
out
of
number
fourteen
has
been
deleted
by
Council
as
official
action
by
the
request
of
councilor
crowd.
K
Item
number
fifteen
is
on
the
delay
list.
On
the
second
page
item
number
one
has
been
pool
for
discussion
today.
Either
number
two
has
been
delayed
on
the
third
page
items
number
one
and
two
have
been
deleted
today,
in
conjunction
with
item
number.
Fourteen
on
the
first
page
in
item
number
three
has
been
pulled
for
discussion
today.
B
That's
what
we're
voting
on
with
the
Mayor
Pro
tems
motion.
Okay,
are
you
ready
to
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
say
aye
all
those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
now,
let's
go
back
and
we
will
poor.
We
have
poll
for
discussion.
Our
first
discussion
will
be
items
six
and
seven
council
house
and
councillor
davis
had
put
those
on
the
list
either.
One
of
you
wish
to
speak
to
either
of
those
items.
I.
H
H
Madam
budget
chair,
the
the
again
the
only
reason
I'm
bringing
this
up
for
vote
now
is
because
it
is
budget
neutral.
Actually
it
it
I
guess
takes
a
little
bit
more
away
from
your
budget
Sheriff,
but
just
a
little
bit
with
the
three
positions,
but
it
covers
your
request.
So
the
way
I
look
at
that
is
you
got
enough
to
work
with
absolutely.
P
And
I
appreciate
that,
but
hopefully
we
can
get
that
back
in
a
clothing
allowance
in
September
when
that
comes
up,
because
we
had
a
zero
clothing
allowance
budget.
So
when
the
chief
requested
an
increase,
then
hopefully
we
can
get
that
same
increase
in
September
and
that
would
pretty
much
cover
the
whole
amount.
Okay.
B
K
The
record
item
number
six
is
to
update
the
sheriff
longevity
pay
reform
to
$3,500
four
years,
five
through
34,
the
deputy
sheriff
positions
of
that
are
great
14.
It
only
impacts
those
positions
and
that
is
may
budget
neutral
by
the
deletion
of
three
deputy
sheriff
positions,
which
are
also
great
14
and
I.
B
B
J
B
H
H
If
the
finance
director
I'm
sure
you
all
keep
a
record
and
make
sure
that
that
those
positions
have
been
appropriately
taken
care
of
and
that
well
sometimes
people
ask
to
stay
budget
neutral
and
all,
and
then
they
come
back
and
ask
for
more
later,
that's
not
acceptable.
So
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
saying
the
the
item.
One
on
the
Olas
fund
is
there's
a
cost
here,
but
I'm.
Looking
at
this
as
an
emergency
request,
this
is
dealing
with
Public
Safety.
It
is
dealing
with
potential
like
well.
This
is
a
life
saving.
H
These
are
life
saving
apparatuses.
The
defibrillators
I
would
ask
the
question
at
the
fire
chief
is
here
if
this
is
something
that
needs
to
be
on
the
trucks
today
in
order
to
save
lives,
and
that's
the
only
reason
I'm
looking
at
this
request
there,
it
is
a
cost,
saw
the
old
loss,
but
when
it
came
to
us,
it
came
to
us
such
as
emergency
requests
that
need
to
be
on
the
trucks
to
save
lives.
That's
the
way
I'm
looking
at
it.
J
J
J
Councillor
Davis,
when
this
was
brought
up
for
the
nine
life
beat
power
to
shiver.
I
had
asked
him
if
it
would
be
okay,
if
we
couldn't
do
it,
the
total
nine
to
go
at
least
three
or
four
of
them,
and
he
said
it
was
all
right
so
I
don't
think
it's
like
an
emergency
emergency
right
now.
I
think
we
could
delay
it
for
September
and,
if
necessary,
since
he's
not
here
and
anyone
to
speak
about
it,
they
can
always
bring
it
back
and
we
can
always
amend
the
budget.
H
O
D
Ma'am
I
and
I,
like
councilor
house
I'm,
not
gonna,
try
to
speak
for
the
interim
chief
he's
done
an
awesome
job.
I
will
say
that
when
they
turned
in
their
their
the
items
that
they
want
to
consider
to
be
added
to
their
budget,
this
was
not
one
of
the
higher
priorities,
but
he
did
make
it
very
clear
that
the
the
older
machines
that
he
has
don't
communicate
with
the
hospitals
as
well
and
that
they,
these
really
do
help
enhance
life-saving
efforts.
D
But
I,
don't
recall
him
telling
me
that
this
is
something
that
absolutely
had
to
be
done
right
now,
I
agree
with
the
with
with
what
counsel
Woodson
said
if,
in
fact,
he
reaches
out
to
councilor
Davis
or
to
me
and
says
that
it
is
something
he
does
need
at
least
three
or
four
right
now
we
can
still
amend
the
budget.
We
can
bring
it
back.
Okay,.
B
H
B
E
E
Economic
development
fund
reserves
about
120
thousand
five
hundred
and
sixty
seven
dollars
for
a
total
of
three
hundred
fifty
thousand,
and
so
again
we
won't
just
write
a
check
and
send
three
hundred
fifty
thousand,
if
you
agree,
but
if
only
that
on
a
monthly
basis.
If
the
revenues
come
up
short,
let's
say
it
takes
them:
they
need
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
a
month
to
operate,
and
so,
if
they
collect
a
hundred
thousand,
then
the
twenty
five
thousand
short
they
could
draw
twenty
five
thousand
in
the
next
month.
E
It
may
be
that
they
only
need
to
draw
fifteen
thousand
in
the
next
month.
It
may
be
fifty
thousand
and
so
but
there's
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
available
to
draw
on,
but
they
will
have
to
pay
the
money
back
and
so
with
that
said,
that
would
be
recommendation
to
you
and
I
will
yield
to
the
finance
director
to
tell
how
that
might
work.
K
Exactly
as
you
explained
it,
the
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
specific
agreement
between
the
city,
the
Development,
Authority
and
the
CCB
be,
would
come
back
to
Council
for
approval
at
a
later
date.
That
would
lay
out
the
repayment
terms
and
so
forth,
but
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
that
those
would
be
funds
that
they
would
have
to
pay
back
to
the
city.
The
finance
department
currently
collects
the
hotel,
motel
money
and
distribute
that
money
to
the
entities
that
it
belongs
to.
So
you
know
very
easy
for
us
to
handle
the
repayment.
H
B
E
D
Well,
there's
not
a
whole
lot.
I
can
add
to
the
way
it
was
put
together
and
we
we
do
know
that
the
CBB
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
see
was
if
they
were
making
some
severe
cuts
and
doing
the
best
they
could.
You
may
want
to
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
of
some
of
the
things
that
the
CBB
is
doing
to
try
to
help
us
help
them,
because
I
think
the
feeling
was
we
wanted
to
try
to
make
certain
I
mean
there
are
marketing
on.
D
E
Right
mayor,
we,
it
was
said
that
the
last
meeting
here
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
think
it
may
have
come
from
councillor
Davis,
but
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they've
done
all
that
they
can
do
and
president
CEO
Peter
Valentin
laid
out
what
they
have
done,
and
just
a
couple
of
things
that
they've
done.
They've
reduced
their
budget
by
approximately
17
percent
and
every
staff
member
has
taken
a
pay
cut,
and
so
they've
done
some
pretty
aggressive
things
to
do
their
part
to
make
sure
they
make
it.
Through
this.
K
I
might
add
mr.
city
manager,
the
additional
reduction
was
after
the
budget
review
meeting,
that
they
attended
and
again
they're,
taking
a
look
at
their
budget
to
make
sure
that
they
had
real
skin
in
the
game,
and
so
the
total
reduction
to
include
the
17
that
they
additional
reduction
that
they
made
after
the
council
meeting
is
about
35
percent.
B
K
From
a
budget
standpoint,
we
just
need
to
rearrange
reallocate
how
the
monies
are
currently
presented
in
the
budget,
but
the
actual
use
of
the
money
will
come
back
at
a
later
date
for
Council's
approval
and
and
in
that
agreement,
it'll
lay
out
all
the
terms
and
conditions.
As
far
as
the
usage,
the
repayment
plan
and
so
forth
and
councillor
crowd
has
a
question.
Okay,
sure.
B
H
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
I
think
that
it
was
brought
to
us
and
and
I'm
okay
with
the
way
it's
been
presents,
being
presented
as
alone.
But
I
would
like
to
add
in
the
motion
that
there
be
two
installments
to
be
paid
and
based
on
the
ability
to
pay,
but
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
time
frame
that
that
the
money
is
paid
back
to
the
city.
H
So
it
would
be
probably
a
six
months
installment
by
then
we
are
to
be
able
to
have
a
good
understanding
of
what's
going
on
in
the
hotel
business
here
in
the
community
as
far
as
hotel-motel
tax,
the
first
installment
could
be
less
if
needed,
and
then
the
final
installment
could
be
another
six
months
out
so
being
a
total
in
a
year
that
the
money
will
be
reimbursed
to
the
city.
Now.
B
H
And
that's
only
of
all
as
they
need
it,
that's
exactly
right.
They
can
draw
as
they
need
it's
a
it's.
A
line
of
credit
is
what
it
is,
but
whatever
amount
they
draw,
they
can
make
an
installment
payment
in
six
months,
some
some
effort
to
pay
down
and
then
completely
pay
the
city
back
in
a
year
from
now,
that'll.
F
F
E
I'll
tell
you,
I,
have
a
discussion
with
them,
and
and
and
so
when
we
bring
this
back,
it
will
likely
be
that
it
comes
out
of
the
portion
that
remains
with
the
city,
because
even
the
point,
two
five
mils
that
remains
with
the
city
has
to
go
through
the
development
authority
by
law,
and
so
knowing
that
we
are
going
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
CVB
on
terms,
and
we
would
just
be
holding
that
money
and
sitting
there.
Then
it
makes
sense.
E
They
said
if
this
body
were
to
get
hung
up
online
where
it
comes
out
of
this
part
of
that
pot,
then
do
5050,
but
we
believe
that
it
makes
sense
to
come
out
of
the
2.25
Mills,
since
that
money
is
sitting
there
and
we
can't
use
it
and
they
can
only
use
it
if
we
send
it
to
them
to
use
it
towards
some
project
that
you
agree.
That
makes
sense,
and
so
it
makes
sense
to
take
it
out
of
the
point
to
five
mils
that
that
remains
with
the
city.
That
would
be
our
recommendation.
E
F
B
Counselor
Davis
made
the
motion
to
approve
item
number
three
and
I
believe
was
it
counselor
house
I'm,
sorry,
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem,
oh
ii,
didn't
any
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
item
3
on
the
other
funds
list,
please
say:
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries
as
far
as
I
can
see
a
finance
director
that
includes
the
items
that
were
pulled
for
discussion
today.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct.
K
B
K
So,
just
very
quickly
to
give
an
update
as
far
as
the
date,
the
next
sort
of
action
item
that
we
have
would
be
the
advertisement
of
our
FY
21
budget
as
a
minute
today
by
counsel
this
advertisement
will
be
made
available
in
the
newspaper
on
June.
The
second
also
in
that
advertisement,
will
be
the
advertisement
of
any
of
our
public
hearings
related
to
the
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights,
the
taxpayer.
Bill
of
Rights
hearings
will
be
on
the
9th
of
June.
The
first
one
will
begin
at
9:00
a.m.
if
necessary.
K
That
would
be
the
first
of
three
taxpayer
Bill
of
Rights
hearings.
Again,
that's
June,
9th
at
9:00
a.m.
on
the
second
hearing,
taxpayer
Bill
of
right
hearing
will
be
June
9th
at
6:00
p.m.
that
will
be
a
regular
council
meeting
that
will
begin
at
5:30,
but
will
pause
at
6
o'clock
on
the
nose,
hopefully
to
conduct
our
second
taxpayer.
Bill
of
Rights
hearing
on
the
next
meeting
by
council
will
be
on
June
16th
that'll
be
at
9:00
a.m.
that's
a
special
call
meeting.
Also
in
that
meeting
at
9:00
a.m.
K
at
the
start
of
that
meeting
will
be
our
third
taxpayer.
Bill
of
Rights
hearing
will
also
officially
adopt
the
the
budget.
There'll
be
the
second
reading
of
the
budget,
ordinance
on
the
16th,
as
well
as
the
first
reading
of
the
millage
ordinance
and
then
June
23rd
will
be
the
last
meeting
of
the
council
for
the
month
of
June.
That
also
begins
at
9
a.m.
in
which
the
second
reading
of
the
millage
ordinance
would
be
adopted.
A
couple
things
I
want
to
just
before.
B
K
B
K
I
was
just
it
was
in
reference
to
the
the
millage
ordinance
slight
change
in
that
this
year
in
terms
of
the
installment.
They
just
want
to
remind
council
at
the
request
of
our
tax
commissioner,
the
first
installment
date
will
be
moved
from
October
1st
to
October
15th,
with
the
second
installment
being
due
on
December
1st.
B
We
will
reassemble
here
at
5:30
for
the
regular
council
meeting
and
I
think
that
I
speak
for
the
other
for
myself
and
the
other
nine
councillors.
How
much
we
appreciate
the
effort
that
has
been
made
to
bring
us
together
today
by
our
various
and
sundry
staffs.
You've
done
a
terrific
job
of
making
sure
that
we
are
properly
distanced
and
that
we
have
some
hand
sanitizer
and
all
of
those
kinds
of
things,
and
we
certainly
do
appreciate
all
that
you've
done
to
make
that
happen.
B
We
also
appreciate
the
work
of
the
other
employees
of
the
City
of
Columbus.
This
has
been
a
trying
time
for
some
of
you.
It's
been
an
unusual
time
for
all
of
us,
as
you
find
new
ways
of
doing
what
you
need
to
do,
and
we
appreciate
it.
It
has
not
gone
unnoticed
and
I
want
you
to
be
here
that
you
are
aware
of
that,
and
we
thank
you
for
what
you
do
for
Columbus
and
the
citizens
that
we
represent.
B
K
Guess
ma'am
the
only
thing
that
I
wanted
to
make
mention
of
was
where
we
ended
today
in
terms
of
the
fund
balance
days
where
we
begin
at
seventy
two
point:
five,
two
days
of
estimated
reserves,
we
end
at
seventy
two
point:
six
six
days.
Would
you
say
that
again
fund
balance
reserves
the
beginning
balance
as
we
began?
These
meetings
was
seventy
two
point,
five
two
days
and
at
the
conclusion
of
today's
meeting.
That
will
be
seventy
two
point.
Six
six
days
very.
