A
A
That
doesn't
mean
that
counselors
are
whomever,
cannot
or
should
not
ask
questions,
but
just
be
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
we
are
on
a
timeline
and
I
will
be
trying
to
move
the
agenda.
So
with
that
we're
gonna
start
with
a
miss
Alexander
and
miss
Alexander.
You
have
given
to
us
the
first
of
our
ad
delete
list.
Would
you
just
give
us
a
quick
synopsis
of
that
and
then
we'll
get
started
with
the
presentation?
Yes,.
B
Ma'am
good
afternoon,
so
first
I'd
just
like
to
make
mention
of
the
items
that
were
passed
out
to
Council
our
Budget
Committee.
The
first,
as
our
chair
mentioned,
was
the
add
delete
list.
There
are
a
few
staff
adjustments
on
the
list.
The
very
first
adjustment
that
impacts
the
general
fund
is
the
deletion
of
a
temporary
position
in
the
marshals
department.
There
was
a
legal
item
approved
last
week
by
Council,
and
so
that
calls
for
that
position
to
be
the
funding
for
that
position
to
be
removed
from
the
marshals
budget,
there's
also
a
budget
neutral
reclassification.
B
This
was
an
item
that
was
just
missed
throughout
the
various
requests.
The
many
many
requests
that
we
received
from
departments.
It
was
just
an
item
that
was
missed,
but
it
was,
it
is
in
fact,
budget
neutral
is
a
reclassification
in
the
Sheriff's
Office
reclassified,
a
D
technician
great.
Sixteen
to
the
sergeant
grade,
eighteen
by
using
salary
savings
through
attrition
for
a
position
number
of
two
zero
zero
to
the
next
page
of
the
add
delete
lists
is
the
deletion
of
the
old
loss
supplement
related
to
the
temporary
position
deletion
in
the
marshal's
office.
B
The
second
packet
that
was
passed
out,
the
council
was
just
the
responses
from
the
referrals
that
were
noted
by
counsel
noted
by
staff
from
the
April
30
of
2019
meeting,
and
with
that,
that's
all
the
information
and
well
sorry,
there's
a
schedule
that
was
also
provided
to
counsel.
It
just
shows
the
department
presentations
for
the
next
two
weeks
and
it
includes
the
departments
that
we'll
be
presenting
today.
So
first,
the
item
on
the
agenda
is:
shall
Hankins
shall
hankins
is
our
benefits
consultant
and
they
are
we'll
be
providing
a
health
care
update.
B
C
Before
our
benefit
consultant
comes,
shall
Hankins
I
wanted
to
at
least
greet
the
council
to?
Let
us
know
where
we
are,
as
it
relates
to
health
care
and
with
regard
to
their
presentation
today,
I
want
you
to
know
that
number
one,
what
the
presentation
that
they
will
present
today.
The
benefit
consultant
has
met
with
the
employee
benefits
committee,
so
whatever
they
present
today
has
been
briefed
they've
been
briefed
by
them
more
than
once.
C
D
You
good
afternoon
so
I
provided
a
copy
of
the
presentation
of
what
we'll
go
through
today
and
it's
really
an
update
for
where
we
stand
on
our
spend
for
our
healthcare
budget
recommendations
for
fiscal
year
20
and
some
cost-saving
measures
that
we're
taking
and
improvements
we've
seen
in
our
programs.
So
first
a
health
plan
overview.
We
see
the
history
here,
a
five-year
history
of
our
claims
spins.
D
So
we
know
that
claims
are
the
biggest
makeup
of
our
spend
for
our
health
care
plan,
our
medical
and
prescription
drug
claims,
and
so
that's
what
we
monitor
on
a
month-to-month
basis
and
that's
where
we
can
have
an
impact
through
the
proactive
measures
that
the
city
has
put
in
place
around
wellness
around
your
prescription.
Drug
benefits
to
help
manage
this
cost
for
the
city
and
for
your
employees
for
the
long
term.
So
you'll
see
here
that
the
last
few
years
we've
actually
seen
a
declining
trend
in
the
spend
of
our
medical
and
prescription
drug
claims.
D
So
from
2016
to
2017
we
saw
1.7
percent
decrease
in
our
spend
for
claims
and
then
from
2017
to
2018.
We
actually
saw
a
9%
decrease
in
our
spend.
The
largest
make
up
of
the
difference
in
the
spend
for
2018
was
a
reduction
in
high-cost
claims
for
2017.
We
had
two
very
large
claims:
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
had
a
large
impact
on
our
spend
for
under
2018.
Our
two
largest
claims
were
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
each.
D
So
overall,
when
we
look
at
our
high
cost
claims,
we
saw
over
a
million
dollar
reduction
and
what
we're
spending
for
our
high
cost
claimants,
so
that
did
attribute
to
the
majority
of
this
reduction,
and
that's
always
what
we're.
Looking
at.
As
we
talk
about
our
wellness
program,
early
identification
of
risk
is
avoiding
helping
our
members
avoid
becoming
high
claims
whenever
possible.
If
it's
lifestyle
related,
if
we
can
avoid
them
becoming
a
high
claim
participant
on
the
plan,
not
only
do
we
improve
their
health
in
their
life
overall,
but
we
manage
our
claims
expense
long-term.
D
So
with
this,
we
saw
overall
a
10%
reduction
in
our
medical
claims
and
a
7%
reduction
in
our
prescription
drug
claims
and,
if
you
recall,
2018
what
was
managed
by
Pharma
bill
in
the
past,
the
prescription
drug
plan
had
been
managed
by
Express
Scripts
via
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield.
So
we
were
able
to
carve
this
benefit
out.
We
made
no
changes
to
plan
design,
but
we
saw
better
utilization
overall
of
lower
cost
drugs.
Generic
alternatives
and
we
saw
lower
cost
medications
available
through
this
partnership.
D
As
we
look
at
what
our
cost
drivers
on
the
plan
so
spoke
of
high
claims,
and
so
we
look
at
the
history
here,
the
green
bars
being
the
makeup
of
high
cost,
claim
it
so
we're
defining
in
this
exhibit
and
the
exhibits
that
we
share
with
the
city
on
a
monthly
basis.
High
claims
is
any
member
that
had
a
claim
over
$50,000
in
the
plan
year,
so
that
could
be
medical
claims,
prescription,
drug
claims
or
a
combination
of
both
and
so
for
2018.
D
D
Diabetic
cost
so
we're
243
percent
above
benchmarks,
they're
328
patients
being
treated
on
the
medical
side,
so
not
just
prescription
drugs,
but
medical
as
well
for
diabetic
care
and
then
asthma,
&,
Co,
P,
COPD
or
226
percent.
The
vent
above
the
benchmarks
there
with
a
hundred
and
two
patients
treated.
So
again.
These
are
consistent
year.
Over
year,
but
as
you
know
now
you
have
participation
in
the
wellness
program
that
I'll
speak
through.
D
As
far
as
our
top
cost
medications,
you'll
see
our
top
20
drugs
by
spin
here
so
you'll
see
many
Humera
trulicity
enrollees
medications
that
you
see
advertised
on
TV,
many
of
them
being
what
are
called
biologic
specialty
medications,
so
they're
high
cost
drugs
can
be
2,000
to
5,000
dollars
a
month.
Some
very
high
cost
medications
used
to
treat
very
different
conditions,
and
most
often
these
types
of
medications
do
not
have
a
generic
equivalent
available,
but
they're
often
a
therapeutic
equivalent
available.
D
That
is
a
lower
cost
and
that's
part
of
what
Pharma
veil
assist
us
in
educating
the
members
on
that
there
are
alternatives
per
these
medications.
While
there
may
not
be
directly
a
generic
available.
Let's
look
at
what
those
alternatives
are
they'll
work
with
their
prescribing
provider
to
just
educate
them
on
what
cost
saving
options
there
may
be.
But
when
you
look
at
this
list,
you
can
see
how
high
these
costs
are,
because
our
top
20
medications
make
up
forty
seven
percent
of
your
overall
spin
on
your
drugs.
D
So
these
very
high
cost
medications
do
drive
the
majority
of
what
you're
spending
for
prescription
drugs
and
a
program
that
we
put
in
place
for
2018
was
called
the
enhanced
care
model.
And
so
we
discussed
this
as
a
program
that
Pharma
veil
is
able
to
make
available
to
our
clients
where
we're
able
to
access
340b
discounts
through
federally
qualified
health
centers.
D
So
that's
only
16
drugs
taken
by
36
members
that
made
up
2.1
million
dollars
in
your
prescription,
drug
cost,
and
so
by
accessing
this
program
we
can
obtain
those
twenty
to
thirty
percent
discounts.
And,
what's
it
required
of
that?
Patient
is
simply
that
they
engage
in
a
telephonic
consultation
with
a
prescribing
physician
at
that
qualified
health
center.
They
don't
have
to
give
up
visits
with
their
prescription
that
originally
prescribed
that
are
with
their
provider
that
prescribed
that
medication.
They
continue
that
relationship
they'll
just
receive
a
telephonic
consultation.
Talk
about
what
other
medications
are
you
taking?
D
Are
you
having
any
side-effects?
Are
you
taking
this
medication
consistently
and
then
we're
able
to
run
that
prescription
through
that
provider
and
obtain
those
discounts
which,
looking
at
the
potential
savings,
is
420
thousand
dollar
savings
a
year?
And
so
we
have
taken
measures
to
promote
this
program
because
the
original
roll
out
there
was
not
great
participation.
I
think
there
was
some
confusion
with
members
receiving
calls
and
not
really
understanding
what
was
required
of
them,
and
it
was
not
a
mandatory
program,
so
most
of
them
opted
out.
We
did
reinitiate
communications
coming
directly
from
the
city.
D
Further
educating
these
36
members
of
the
opportunity
of
this
program.
What's
required
of
them
is
a
15
minute
call,
and
so
we
have
seen
substantial
increase
in
participation
in
this
program
and
so
that
420
thousand
dollar
savings
is
included
in
our
budget
moving
forward
because
of
the
enhanced
participation
we've
seen
so
as
far
as
health
plan
funding,
because
claims
are
running
well,
you're
running
well
within
the
current
budget.
D
The
program
to
receive
that
wellness
discount
is
the
same
simply
that
you
take
your
biometric
screening,
your
personal
health
assessment,
which
is
a
survey
online
and
then
you'll
have
the
opportunity
for
health
coaching
if
you're
deemed
high
risk,
and
so
that
program
has
been
very
successful
for
the
city
to
see.
Enhanced
participation
with
the
health
assessments
that
we
saw.
72%
of
the
employee
population
took
a
personal
health
assessment
and
a
biometric
screening.
That's
compared
to
about
20
25
percent
in
prior
years.
So.
D
Be
at
the
annual
yes
being
an
annual
review
that
you
just
like
you.
Take
your
annual
physical
and
they're,
able,
if
they're,
going
to
have
an
annual
physical
and
that
those
results
are
when
not
within
90
days.
They
can
submit
those
results.
They
don't
have
to
go
through
that
again
and
it's
a
very
similar
process.
D
How
do
we
work
towards
those
goals
if
it's
losing
weight,
if
it's
managing
stress
working
out
whatever
that
is
personally
for
them
and
then
they'll
work
with
that
health
coach
regularly
to
see
improvements
in
their
health?
So
we
did
see
we
had
16
1623
actual
employees
and
spouses
completes
a
health
assessment.
D
This
years,
that's
a
263
percent
increase
from
where
we
were
the
prior
year
with
the
program
that
you
all
put
in
place
for
that
incentive
and
as
we
look
at
an
overall
summary
of
what
those
assessments
look
like
you'll
see
some
of
those
risk
drivers
that
we
had
88
percent
of
that
population,
a
high
risk
for
BMI.
We
had
77%
high
risks
for
their
blood
pressure,
58%
for
cholesterol,
34%
for
diabetes
are
being
pre-diabetic
and
15%
for
tobacco
utilization.
D
So
overall
55%
of
the
population
that
took
a
health
assessment
was
moderate
risk
and
5%
was
high
risk,
so
meaning
that
they
had
three
or
more
risk
factors
involved,
and
when
we
look
at
the
cohorts
of
who
completed
the
health
assessment
last
year,
and
then
we
did
another
assessment
this
year
we
saw
huge
improvements
in
these
metrics.
For
that
cohort
population
we
saw
45%
of
them,
improve
their
BMI,
so
lost
weight.
We
saw
36%
of
them
improve,
improve
their
blood
blood
pressure,
55%
improved
their
a1c
level
and
62%
improved
their
cholesterol
levels.
D
So
we
are
seeing
with
not
population
that
continues
in
the
program.
They
are
improving
their
health.
They
are
improving
these
metrics
and
so
having
the
72
percent.
That
completed
for
this
plan
year
is
a
great
opportunity
to
continue
to
build
on
that
and
continue
to
see
these
types
of
results
with
improved
members,
health
and
managing
the
healthcare
costs
long-term.
D
As
far
as
plan
design
and
employee
contributions,
the
only
difference
would
be
that
for
2020,
the
city
is
scheduled
to
reduce
the
the
city's
contribution
to
zero
on
the
dependent
tiers.
So
that's
reduced
over
the
last
several
years
until
that's
reached
zero
and
that
will
be
dude
2020.
So
that
will
be
a
change
for
those
retirees.
B
E
Welcome
good
afternoon
my
administrative
assistant,
Malika
Hampton,
was
to
be
here
at
2:30.
My
time
was
three
o'clock,
so
I
don't
have
a
handout
for
you,
but
if
you'll
just
listen
to
me
and
hear
my
plea,
I
think
it'll
be
easy
to
understand.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
I
love
my
position
and
I
love
the
people
that
I
work
with
and
for
we're
a
dedicated
team,
and
we
work
for
the
citizens
of
Columbus.
E
My
request
today,
as
it
has
been
for
the
last
seven
years
seven
years,
I've
asked
for
the
same
thing,
is
to
add
a
third
full
time.
Deputy
coroner
to
my
staff
I
have
two
plans
plan
a
and
Plan
B
plan
a
would
be
to
facilitate
that
position
with
a
full-time
deputy
coroner
with
a
salary
of
thirty
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
three
dollars
a
year
benefits.
Fourteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars
vehicle
$22
of
twenty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars
and
the
clothing
allowance
of
six
hundred
dollars.
E
Ma'am,
the
salary
for
a
full-time
deputy
coroner,
thirty-eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
three
dollars
the
benefit
package:
fourteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars
a
vehicle,
twenty-two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars
and
clothing
allowance
of
six
hundred
dollars
in
that
total.
Seventy
six
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
nine
dollars.
E
E
Macon
Georgia
bid
county
has
less
population
has
less
death
investigations,
their
budgets
322,000,
they
have
three
full-time
deputies.
I
know.
Y'all
have
heard
me
preach
over
the
years.
The
number
of
hours
that
we're
on
work
33
years
ago,
Don
Kilgore
was
the
coroner.
He
had
two
full-time
deputies,
just
like
I
have
33
years
ago,
and
this
department
has
been
running
on
the
same
chain
the
whole
time
and
it's
time
to
make
a
change.
E
I
took
office
in
2013
we
conducted
636
death
investigations
in
2018
we
conducted
822
death
investigations.
That's
almost
200
more
investigations
and
it's
only
going
up
people.
It's
not
going
down
it's
going
up
every
year
and
I
want
to
remind
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
and
the
council
that
my
department
handles
approximately
between
125
and
150
pauper
and
indigent
cases
annually.
E
That's
in
addition
to
the
822
normal
cases
that
we
would
have,
and
over
the
past
six
years
since
I
started
handling
all
the
poor
and
indigent
cases,
I've
been
able
to
save
the
city
three
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
and
you
ask
me
how
it's
because
we've
taken
them
in
we
consult
with
the
families.
We
try
to
persuade
them
to
do
a
cremation
when
they
do
a
cremation.
The
city
pays
the
funeral
director
six
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
for
his
services
to
cremate
the
body.
E
The
family,
according
to
city
ordinance,
has
the
option
to
reimburse
the
city
that
money.
So
it's
not
costing
the
city
for
me
to
handle
those
cases
and
I
did
that
on
purpose.
I
did
it
back
in
2013,
I
thought.
I
would
impress
y'all
by
doing
that
and
give
me
a
third
deputy
coroner,
but
it
backfired
on
me.
We're
just
doing
a
lot
more
work
and
still
saving
the
city.
E
I
do
a
lot
of
speaking
at
Columbus
schools
and
colleges
on
a
routine
basis
from
very
community
organizers
related.
We
talk
about
drugs.
We
talk
about
suicides,
we
talk
about
homicides
and
trying
to
reduce
the
crime
rate
here
in
Columbus
Georgia,
so
I'm
very
active
in
that
also
wants
you
to
take
into
consideration
on
chief
deputy
coroner.
Freeman
Worley
has
been
with
the
city
30
years.
He'll
be
recognized
tomorrow
at
the
dedication
he's
turned
in
his
retirement
papers.
E
Now
this
not
everybody
can
do
this
job.
It
takes
a
special
person
to
do
this
job.
It
takes
compassion
and
care
and
understanding
and
intelligence
he's
also
subject
to
have
both
knees
replaced
in
this
coming
year.
That
means
he's
gonna
be
out
about
three
months.
That'll
just
leave
two
of
us.
That
means
we'll
be
on
called
every
day,
because
two
of
us
have
to
be
on
call
24/7.
E
E
I
must
remind
you
of
the
risk
that
that
constitutes
as
far
as
the
safety
hazard
due
to
fatigue,
I've
been
up
all
night
on
multiple
occasions
on
homicide,
scenes
or
suicide
scenes
or
consulting
with
families,
go
home,
take
a
bath
and
back
out
again
for
another
24
hours.
Doing
the
same
thing:
I
don't
want
the
city
to
get
sued,
I
don't
want
to
get
injured
in
a
car
wreck
and
I'm
gonna
hurt
anybody
else.
E
There
are
very
few
people
that
can
do
this
job
I'd,
like
you
all,
to
meet
Elizabeth
and
Alison
in
October
of
last
year,
I've
been
knowing
Elizabeth
for
a
long
time.
She's
been
a
major
player
in
the
medical
community
for
many
years,
she's
a
nationally
resident,
not
recognized
certified
medic
EMS
I
hired
her
back
in
October
as
a
forensic
driver.
She
would
get
in
the
van.
She
would
come
on
the
scene.
She
would
help
make
the
removal
of
the
remains
and
take
them
out
to
the
county.
Morgue
I
saw
value
in
Elizabeth.
E
She
dedicated
many
hours
of
her
time
effort
her
own
money
to
join
our
team
because
she
dedicated
she's
perfect
to
fill
this
position.
I
saw
great
value
in
him
because
she's
knowledgeable,
extremely
knowledgeable.
Caring
compassionate
has
high
morals
and
professionalism
and
that's
exactly
what
it
takes
to
be.
In
this
position.
She's
already
been
to
basic
coroner
school
she's
certified
by
the
state.
She
was
well
trained
by
me
and
my
deputies
and
she
has
worked
multiple
calls
over
the
last
three
months.
E
E
First
of
all,
she
would
fill
in
as
a
death
investigator
when
either
of
my
deputies
or
myself
or
out
on
vacation,
have
a
leak,
the
illness
or
when
personal
niche
issues
cause
us
to
have
to
me
out.
She
would
also
be
our
in
town
forensic
transport
driver
which
I
don't
have
at
this
time.
I've
gone
through
fire
drivers
in
the
last
seven
years.
They
start
out,
they
do
good
and
then
you
get
to
where
you
call
them
and
they
don't
come
out.
E
We're
gonna
have
her
manage
medical
records
subpoena
those
records
from
hospitals
and
doctor's
office,
she'll
be
responsible
for
viewing
those
reviewing
those
records
and
identifying
health
dishes
and
were
for
us
to
correctly
identify
the
man
on
calls
of
death.
By
doing
so
will
minimize
the
risk
of
a
multi-million
dollar
lawsuit
that
could
be
brought
against
the
City
of
Columbus
by
negligence
or
something
that
the
Teague
might
have
caused
us
to
overlook
she's,
also
very
active
in
the
community
working
with
a
child.
A
B
I
was
just
going
to
provide
the
cost
information
so
to
add
one
full-time
I'm
great.
Sixteen
deputy
corner
position
on
total
cost
of
the
JM
fund
is
fifty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighteen
dollars.
The
deputy
corner
is
also
receiving
a
while
supplement,
so
that
would
be
in
addition
to
the
Ola
spoon
of
three
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
eight
dollars
and
then
there's
the
cost
of
the
vehicle.
Are
you
adding
that
as
well
on
protein
and.
G
B
The
value
of
the
cost
of
the
one
full-time
grade,
sixteen
deputy
corner
is
fifty-three
thousand
one
hundred
eighteen
dollars
in
the
general
fund.
The
deputy
corners
also
receive
an
old
last
supplement.
The
cost
of
the
supplement
is
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty-eight
dollars,
and
the
vehicle
requested
by
the
corner
was
a
full-size
Impala.
The
cost
is
twenty,
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
$1
in.
B
A
B
Well,
the
coroner
currently
has
in
his
budget
eighteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
seven
dollars
in
wages
and
he
utilizes
those
funds
currently
for
the
part-time
corner,
as
well
as
the
two
drivers
that
he
has
on
staff
and
those
individuals
are
paid
twelve
dollars
an
hour
so
currently
that
eighteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
eighty
seven
dollars
covers
those
three
part-time
positions.
So
if
the
corner
is
willing
to
redistribute
twelve
thousand
of
the
eighteen
nine
eighty
seven.
H
B
H
B
The
amount
that
was
quoted
by
the
corner,
the
rate
down
the
rate,
is
actually
different.
The
hourly
rate
based
on
the
pay
scale
for
part-time
employees
is
actually
$17.75
hour
at
32
hours
a
week.
The
total
calls
is
which
was
listed
in
the
corners
requests,
but
thirty
one
thousand
seven
hundred
ninety
six
dollars.
That's
at
thirty
two
hours
a
week,
seventeen
dollars
and
seventy
five
cent
an
hour.
The
pay
rate
that
the
corner
used
was
for
the
pay
scale
that
is
only
applicable
to
our
full-time
employees.
A
B
One
slight
correction,
I'd
like
to
make
note
of
and
I,
was
actually
trying
to
do
this
work
before
the
corner
got
here
so
that
have
these
figures
already
and
not
taken
into
consideration
between
out
our
limit,
so
I
do
apologize
for
that.
He
requested
thirty
two
hours
and
that
is
actually
above
the
number
of
hours
that
our
part-time
staff
is
allowed
to
work.
So
you
he'll
make
that
yes
ma'am,
so
the
actual
amount
based
on
twenty
nine
hours
is
only
fifteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ninety
seven
dollars.
Okay,
counts
a
crab.
I
E
Two
years
ago,
I
had
to
come
before
the
council
to
ask
for
more
money
to
get
me
through
the
end
of
the
year,
proximately
ten
thousand
dollars
it
was
granted,
and
it
would
do
to
a
couple
of
different
things.
One
myseif
deputies
corner
computer
crashed
on
him.
We
had
to
get
him
a
new
computer.
It
was
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
One
of
my
deputies
had
an
accident
in
his
car.
It
cost
like
six
thousand
to
get
it
repaired
so
that
killed
my
budget
for
the
last
60
days.
E
That
year
this
year,
the
motor
blew
up
in
my
Ford
Expedition,
which
took
$6,000
out
of
my
budget.
So
I
was
back
here
in
March,
asking
that
that
money
be
replaced
back
in
my
budget,
they've
replaced
it
but
they're
replacing
a
little
bit
at
a
time,
so
we're
not
able
to
order
body
bags
gloves
and
supplies
at
this
time,
but
we'll
make
it
through
the
rest
of
the
year.
E
Unfortunately,
the
finance
department
was
charging
the
wrong
budget
line
for
us
to
pay
Elizabeth
to
get
out
and
do
her
calls.
She
makes
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars
per
call.
They
were
charging
the
wrong
budget
line
this
time
yesterday,
I
thought
I
had
six
thousand
dollars
still
in
that
budget
line
found
out
through
emails
from
my
secretary
that
we
have
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
left
in
there.
I
E
On
your
budget,
I
didn't
mean
to
cut
you
off.
We
took
a.
We
took
a
look
at
the
eighteen
thousand.
My
out
of
town
forensic
driver
averages
around
five
thousand
years,
so
we
bumped
him
up
to
about
six
thousand,
which
left
that
was
twelve
thousand
in
there,
that
we
would
normally
be
paying
Elizabeth
with
to
go
towards
her
being
a
full-time
deputy
and
so
we've
allowed
for
any
emergency
needs.
I'm
not
replacing
a
forensic
driver.
E
E
I
A
Other
questions
or
comments,
Mr
Bryan.
You
know
that
our
process
is
that
we
have
now
added
these
two
items
to
our
add
delete
list
and
we
will
not
vote
on
them
until
the
21st
you
made
it
and
that
when
we
vote
on
the
entire
add
delete
list.
Okay,
so
unfortunately
we
don't
have
a
resolution
for
you
this
afternoon,
but
we
will
in
two
weeks
well.
E
A
B
J
J
It
has
been
put
through
the
CSU
review
and
agreed
upon
that
that
position
should
be
reclassified
in
order
to
make
it
budget
neutral.
We
have
a
vacant
funded
position
for
an
arena,
TAC
position
that
is
valued
with
benefits
at
thirty
seven
thousand
nine
hundred
fifty
four
dollars.
The
change
in
positions
at
a
starting
salary
would
be
six
thousand
four
hundred
and
eleven
dollars
and
approximately
eleven
cents
which
would
leave
thirty-one
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
three
dollars
towards
our
temporary
labor
fund,
and
that's
the
only
change
we
are
requesting.
J
B
So
there
are
actually
two
pay
scales
that
we
work
from,
and
the
amounts
provided
by
the
civic
center
director
is
for
anyone
that
was
hired
after
July
1
2018,
but
we
also
have
a
pay
scale
for
anyone
that
was
hired
on
or
before
June
30th
2018,
so
the
pay,
since
it
would
be
an
existing
employee
thing-
is
forty
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
nine
hundred
and
forty
nine
dollars
at
a
great
seventeen.
A
great
twenty
is
forty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty
eight
dollars.
K
K
J
J
Reasoning,
sir,
would
be
chair
and
and
committee.
The
reason
is
to
attract
the
quality
and
caliber
of
employee
to
that
position
were
to
become
vacant
and
also
the
current
person
in
the
position,
additional
duties
and
responsibilities
that
have
been
added
to
the
job.
Since
my
sends
me
coming
on
board,
okay.
K
J
J
It
was
requested
at
the
time
several
positions
were
requested
to
be
increased,
including
box
office
manager,
the
finance
manager
in
the
Event
Services
Manager
that
one
was
proved
to
to
be
increased
to
a
15
I
think
they
were
all
originally
submitted
to
UGA
to
all
go
to
a
20
upon
further
review.
This
is
the
one
that
I
feel
needs
to
be
moved
first
and
foremost,.
B
L
And
it's
said
in
a
and
as
the
finance
director
said,
that
it's
not
unusual
in
that
when
we
do
the
pay
adjustments
cost
of
living,
we
move
the
entire
scale.
And
so,
when
you
move
the
scale,
the
a
step
scale
moves
and
it's
still
an
AE.
Though
there
was
a
half
percent
or
1
percent
or
1/2
percent
increase.
And
so
it's
not
unusual
that
a
longtime
employee
is
still
in
an
a
step.
A
F
Pro
Tem,
that's
just
gonna
fight
our
pay
scale,
it's
looking
worse
and
worse.
Every
year
we
look
at
it,
especially
you
see
where
employees
have
nothing
changes
steps
because
then,
when
you
hire
sematic,
if
you
replace
them,
then
you
got
to
go
up
more.
You
don't
need
to
go
up
more
than
two
steps.
You
have
a
hard
time
going
up
two
steps,
but
really
you've
got
more
than
two
steps
and
at
some
point
in
time.
M
I
L
So
if
it
went
from
a
15
to
a
17,
that
person
would
have
gotten
a
five
percent
increase
and
moved
from
a
15
to
a
17
and
therefore
they
did
not
go
out
on
the
scale,
and
so
now
that
it
has
evaluated
based
on
the
current
duties,
it
was
a
sent
to
UGA
or
Columbus
State
University.
To
really
look
at
the
take
another.
Look
at
the
position
and
they've
now
approved
it
going
from
a
17
to
a
20
and.
G
L
He
is
asking
that
we
honor
what
was
approved
by
Columbus
State
University
and
moved
the
position
from
a
17
to
a
20
and
if
it
moves
it
would
go
from
a
17-8
to
a
28,
but
I
was
making
the
point.
You
know
we've
been
with
the
current
pay
scale
since
2006,
when
UGA
approved
and
Council
adopted
its
2000-2006.
I
N
For
house,
thank
you,
madam
chairman.
Mr.
doorman
I
was
a
little
bit
confused
after
you
talked
about
what
it
would
cost
to
make
the
change.
It
then
sounded
to
me,
like
you,
were
proposing
some
reductions
elsewhere
to
make
it
budget
budget
neutral,
did
I
understand
correctly,
and
could
you
explain
that
again?
Yes,.
J
Sir,
the
the
money
that
we
would
use
to
fund
the
difference
is
coming
from
a
vacant
position.
That's
currently
funded
that
we
have
no
intention
of
filling
so
that
money
is
going
to
be
reallocated
to
fund
the
gap
and
then
the
remainder
of
that
money
would
go
to
our
template
or
fund,
which
is
the
amount
we
use
to
or
the
money
that
we
use
to
pay
our
part-time
rushers
ticket
takers
and
other
part-time
employees.
So.
B
Correct
okay,
but
as
mr.
dormer
mentioned,
there
would
be
budgeting
show.
The
value
of
the
position
is
thirty-seven
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
four
dollars.
That's
a
great
nine
Arina
take
positions.
The
value
of
the
reclassification
is
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars,
which
would
leave
thirty
thousand
three
hundred
and
fifty
nine
dollars
for
that
temporary
labor
pool.
B
N
A
J
O
Director
Dorman
I
just
wanted
to
I'm
looking
at
the
actual
budget
from
eighteen
and
now
look
at
our
adopted
budget
and
nineteen,
you
got
a
million
dollar
difference
on
your
operating
fund
and
then
it's
back
to
an
increase
of
almost
another
six,
but
it
looks
like
six
hundred
thousand
looks
at
contractual
services
increase.
What
is
that
is
that?
Are
you
having
to
pay
more
for
events.
B
J
L
Additional
expenses
in
the
Civic
Center's
situation
would
would
be
offset
by
new
revenue.
You
know
will
come
to
you
and
ask
you
and
we've
done
it
annually.
Over
the
last
few
years,
we've
had
him
come
to
council
I
think
we
came
most
recently
a
few
weeks
ago,
where
we'll
tell
you
that
expenses,
obviously
because
revenue
is
up,
and
so
if
you've
got
one
event
that
does
that's
very,
very
successful
and
kind
of
blows.
You
out
of
the
water
and
I
gave
you
an
example
a
few
weeks
ago,
then.
L
L
Be
considerably
more
worrying
and
your
cleanup
expenses
you're
going
to
have
more
people
cleaning
out,
and
so
your
expenses
are
up,
but
it
all
balances
out.
If
your,
when
we
look
at
his
settlement,
cheap
and
expenses,
are
we
want
to
see
that
the
revenue
is
up
as
well
in
proportion
to
those
expenses.
O
L
Right
and
typically
we're
going
to
have
to
come
to
you
and
we've
done
it
probably
twice
this
year
and
we
did
it
last
year.
If
you
remember
when,
let
me
tell
you,
if
you
are
your
expenses
out
of
the
land,
she
is
going
to
add
you
to
my
agenda
to
come
and
tell
council
about
it.
That's
what
that
that's
a
certainty.
A
A
I
A
A
H
P
Today's
budget
presentation
I'm
going
to
try
to
cover
as
quickly
as
possible
for
time
sake,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
information
that
is
in
here.
Also,
you
will
find
that
not
only
did
we
hand
out
our
presentation,
but
you've
also
got
some
attachments
as
well.
That's
going
to
provide
additional
information
that
may
or
may
not
be
a
slot
in
our
presentation,
but
is
basically
for
informational
purposes
to
provide
additional
information
that
may
not
be
outlined
in
the
presentation.
P
P
Currently,
we
oversee
over
1,900
acres
of
park
space,
there's
52
parks
here
in
Columbus
over
50
linear
miles
of
trail
space
to
include
the
Riverwalk,
the
dragonfly
all
of
the
trails
here
in
Columbus
we
maintain
44
public
playground
systems,
80
athletic
fields
across
the
city,
81
tennis
courts,
19,
outdoor
basketball,
courts,
82,
separate
restrooms,
750,
litter
containers.
We
have
Lake
all
of
marina
the
dog
park
at
Oxbow,
the
mall
Rainey
Museum.
We
currently
offer
eight
before
in
school
before
school
programs
with
Muscogee
County,
School
District,
and
there
are
22
after-school
program
in
the
school
district.
P
On
average
we
see
over
1200
children
a
day
and
our
after-school
programs
each
day
across
the
community.
We
also
operate
eight
recreation
centers
for
senior
centers
at
cultural
arts
facility,
a
boxing
facility,
a
therapeutic
recreation
facility,
the
Columbus
Aquatic
Center
and
four
outdoor
pools
so
and
in
our
spare
time.
But
now
those
are
currently
our
facilities.
Many
people
don't
realize
the
the
different
facilities
that
fall
within
the
Columbus
parks,
recreation
and
also
the
magnitude
of
the
number
that
we
operate.
So
we
just
wanted
to
provide
a
background
information
turn
to
the
next
page.
P
These
are
demand
to
maintain
those
facilities
for
those
here
in
Columbus.
We
currently
have
98
full-time
employees.
We
have
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
part-time
employees
and
those
are
the
boots
on
the
ground.
Those
are
the
people
that
are
permanent
police.
Those
are
the
people
that
are
year-round
that
do
the
work
here
in
Columbus,
and
then
we
have
what's
considered
seasonal
and
air
minute,
seasonal
and
in
a
minute
qualify
as
those
employees
like
our
summer,
aquatics
staff
that
just
work
outdoors
for
a
short
period
of
time.
P
These
may
also
include
scorekeepers
or
people
that
work
intermittently,
meaning
they
only
come
in
once
or
twice
a
week
and
keep
score
for
us
at
ballgames,
so
they're
not
considered
part
of
our
full-time
part-time
permanent
base,
they're
more
of
a
pool
of
individuals.
If
you
will
that
we
pull
from
to
get
our
work
done,
but
currently
the
total
between
full-time
and
part-time
is
273
employees
that
work
for
Columbus,
Parks
and
Recreation.
P
You're
good,
thank
you
so
budget
by
the
numbers.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
glimpse
of
the
last
20
years
as
it
relates
to
budget
and
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
this
is
one
of
the
sheets
that
I
provide
as
an
additional
handout.
It
was
just
too
much
information
to
put
up
here,
but
you're
gonna
have
in
your
packet.
There
there's
a
sheet
that
also
includes
every
year
break
out
for
each
fiscal
year
and
what
the
adopted
budget
was
for
the
past
20
years,
but
to
simplify
and
just
cut
through
the
chase.
P
I
wanted
to
give
you
three
numbers
and
three
years
to
look
at
so
in
fiscal
year,
99
our
budget
was
a
little
over
seven
million
dollars
and
our
capital
outlay
was
one
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
two
hundred
twenty
seven
so
jump
ahead.
Ten
years
and
in
fiscal
year,
oh
nine,
our
budget
was
ten
million
four
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighty
six
dollars
and
our
capital
outlay
was
zero.
P
That
year,
then,
you
jump
ahead
again,
ten
years
more
to
last
or
this
current
year
for
fiscal
year,
nineteen
and
our
current
operating
budget
was
ten
million
five
hundred
ninety
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars.
Our
capital
outlay
was
forty
five
thousand.
So
if
you
look
at
that
and
a
larger
picture
over
the
last
twenty
years
from
and
just
say
the
last
ten
years,
our
depart,
it
only
grew
by
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
overall
in
our
budget.
P
Although
we
know
that
in
the
last
few
years
we've
added
quite
a
few
facilities,
we've
added
the
Aquatic
Center,
we
added
boxwood
recreation
center.
We
picked
up
additional
trail
space
and
things
that
we
maintain.
Although
if
you
look
at
our
budget,
our
budget
numbers
did
not
grow.
Also,
since
2009
out
of
that
20-year
period
of
time.
Ten
of
those
years,
our
department
received
zero
capital
improvements
as
far
as
capital
outlay,
which
means
we
were
unable
to
purchase
vehicles
or
equipment
ten
of
the
last
20
years.
P
So
that's
a
that's
a
big
impact
on
a
department
of
our
size
overall,
when
you
look
at
something
from
a
20-year
standpoint,
so
the
next
I
wanted
to
mention
our
department
vehicles
and
where
we
stand
as
far
as
a
department
goes
and
I'll
I'll
go
over
the
next
two
slides
pretty
quickly
and
then
I
have
a
summary
that
we
can
talk
about,
but
this
first
slide
it
represents
the
vehicles
that
we
have
in
the
department.
The
yellow
ones
are
ones
that-
and
these
are
these
are
information
that
has
come
straight
from
fleet
maintenance.
P
This
is
not
something
we
did.
This
is
information
that
we
got
from
fleet
there.
They're
scheduled
for
replacement
is
a
vehicle
that
reaches
the
age
of
12
years,
and
it
also
has
to
reach
at
least
120,000
miles,
so
all
of
the
ones
that
you
see
in
yellow
are
at
that
point
or
beyond
meaning
they're
older
than
12
years,
and
they
have
at
least
120,000
miles
so
I'll
skip
through
like
I,
said
these
two
and
then
jump
to
the
summary,
but
these
are
basically
lists
for
you,
every
vehicle
that
we
have
within
parks
and
recreation.
P
P
P
Just
to
give
you
guys
an
idea
and
why
maybe
bringing
this
up
is
because
we
have
some
vehicles
in
our
fleet
such
as
these.
These
are
inmate
vehicles.
We
have
13
inmate
details
that
operate
around
the
city
of
Columbus,
our
inmate
vehicles
and
inmate.
Details
are
what
maintained
the
parks,
particularly
the
large
parks,
but
all
of
the
park
grass
that
gets
cut
for
the
most
part,
except
for
those
in
some
of
the
ballfield
areas.
Those
are
all
done
by
our
inmate
crews
and
our
supervisors
that
go
around
with
those
crews.
P
If
you
will
the
average
age
of
these
vehicles
of
the
13
vehicles,
we
have
is
20
years
of
age.
Also,
the
average
miles
on
each
of
those
vehicles
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand,
and
these
are
just
a
couple.
Pictures
and
I
have
one
more
slide.
I'll
show
you
some
more
pictures
there
on
the
left.
The
vehicles
don't
have
AC.
So
in
the
summer,
when
it's
hot,
it's
really
hot
and
that's
the
fan
that
they
have,
because
these
vehicles
are
just
so
old.
The
middle
picture
is
a
picture
of
the
fans
and
the
ventilation.
P
That's
in
the
back
of
the
vehicles
where
the
air
comes
in,
where
the
inmates
ride
and
where
the
vehicle
gets
some
some
air,
as
you
can
see,
they've
been
taped
up.
They
leak
and
it's
not
a
maintenance
issue
at
this
point,
certainly
not
Kasane
and
it's
a
maintenance
issue,
because
it's
not
fleet
maintenance
has
done
their
best
that
they
can,
but
based
on
the
average
that
these
vehicles
are
20
years
of
age.
They've
lived
their
life.
P
Next
picture
here,
so
a
few
more
pictures
you
can
see,
they
just
leaked
they're,
just
worn
out
and
nothing
we
can
do
and
nothing
fleet
can
do.
That's
not
a
maintenance
issue.
We've
reached
the
point
where
fleet
sends
us
our
request
to
make
repairs
on
the
vehicles
and
we're
having
to
replace
the
engines
and
we're
having
to
replace
the
transmissions
and
it's
hard
to
tell
fleet
that?
No,
we
don't
want
to,
because
we
don't
have
another
V
call
to
use.
P
P
Everything
is
gone
at
this
point,
we're
at
the
bare
bones
and
so,
for
example,
the
only
thing
we
can
do
in
our
prison
detail
when
our
inmate
vehicles
are
down
is
they
share
and
they
ride
together,
which
now
means,
instead
of
having
to
group
crews
of
five
or
six
guys
or
eight
guys
or
whatever
out
cutting
apart.
We
have
two
supervisors
and
one
crew
that
maybe
has
a
few
more
guys,
but
it's
not
the
equivalent
of
having
two
solid
crews,
cutting
the
parks
and
getting
things
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
P
Currently,
we've
been
funded
in
the
proposed
mayor's
budget
for
10
vehicles,
we
would
request
to
have
one
more
we're
eligible
and
under
fleets
current
standard,
we're
eligible
to
replace
one
more
vehicle
which
would
be
11.
We
have
two
that
haven't
reached
that
threshold
yet
to
be
eligible
to
be
replaced,
but
we
would
ask
for
one
more.
However,
I
don't
want
to
come
empty-handed,
I
don't
want
to
say
you
know,
we'd
like
to
come
out
of
this
year's
budget.
P
One
of
the
things
we
would
like
to
have
considered-
and
this
is
not
something
that
we
have
done
as
a
department
traditionally,
but
we
know
going
into
this
end
of
this
fiscal
year
that
we
are
going
to
have
substantial
salary
and
wage
savings
in
our
department
and
when
I
say
substantial
I
mean
substantial.
We
have
been
unable
to
fill
our
positions,
we're
unable
to
maintain
those
people
in
those
positions,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
enough
money
that
we
could.
P
P
There
was
450,000
set-aside
for
these,
because
these
vehicles
are
dangerous,
I
mean
they've
outlived
their
life,
they
need
to
be
replaced,
and
so
we
would
ask
at
this
time
to
have
one
more
vehicle
in
consideration
and
that,
if
possible,
we
we
can
help
ourselves
instead
of
how
and
go
to
the
budget
for
next
year.
Would.
P
It
is
a
I,
don't
know
that
I
have
a
good
picture
that
you
can
see.
But
yes,
it
is
it's
not
a
van
in
the
sense
of
a
typical
van.
It
has
the
chassis
of
a
truck
on
the
front,
and
it
has.
The
back
portion
is
a
words
that
escaped
me
this
way.
It's
a
box
I'm!
Sorry!
Yes,
it's
more
like
a
box,
that's
a
simple
way
to
put
it
as
a
box
truck.
Basically,
okay,.
Q
P
P
P
N
B
As
council
house
mentioned,
that
is
a
bit
of
a
dilemma.
It's
not
an
item
for
this
add
delete
list
if
we're
going
to
use
f119
appropriations
to
make
capital
outlay
purchases.
If
that's
something
that
councils
would
like
to
do
using
f119
salary
savings,
we
can
come
back
with
an
amount,
a
specific
amount
for
Parks
and
Recreation,
as
we've
done
previously
and.
L
I,
don't
want
to
describe
what
was
going
on
with
the
lawn
boards,
but
you
did
allow
us
to
use
some
money
out
of
the
then
current
fiscal
year
to
purchase
some
lawn
mowers
and
I
think
it
came
from
Mayor,
Pro,
Tem
and,
and
that
way
it
didn't
go
into
the
next
budget
and
they
they
have
a
situation.
Obviously,
and
I,
wouldn't
don't
normally
recommend
using
salary
savings
to
do
anything
but
go
but
enhance
the
fund
balance.
But.
N
G
K
You
mayor
Isaiah,
can
you
help
me
recall
how
we
we
took
action
on
a
policy
that
when
there
were
extra
funds
or
funds
unused
in
a
department
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
went
into
the
general
fund,
and
so
but
but
since
we're
in
the
budget
negotiations
or
budget
discussions,
we're
not
that's
not
applicable.
We're
talking
about
administrative
leave,
moving
them
around
or
something
like
that
is
that
well,
just
just
help
me
get
comfortable
while
dower.
Yes,.
L
L
Salary
savings
and
allow
that
salary
savings
to
go
to
enhanced,
and
yet
the
fund
balance
above
60,
and
you
did
that
and
we
got
it
from
below
60
at
about
58
to
about
six
to
three
days
as
a
result,
and
that
had
been
the
policy
over
the
years.
I
remember:
Jack
Rogers
may
have
pro
forma
Merrill
to
him,
Jack
Rogers.
L
It
was
a
stickler
for
that
and
that's
how
we
were
able
to
keep
our
fund
reserve
fund
built
up,
and
so
you
did
support
that
and
that's
where
we
are
with
it
and
and
while
they
were,
they
didn't
get
necessarily
this
in
the
proposed
budget
she's
asking
for
a
way
to
get
what
she
needs
and
I'm
saying:
I:
don't
support
using
salary
savings
to
do
what
we're
talking
about,
but
the
an
instance
where
it's
it's
needed
and
and
perhaps
could
be
done
on
a
one-time
basis.
Okay,.
O
Would
you
know
miss
city
manager
and
kind
of
piggybacking
off
what
you're
talking
about
them?
I
don't
have
a
problem,
adding
it
on
the
list
out
of
the
fund
balance
or
if
you've
got
another
fun,
but
it's
been
amazing
of
what
this
department
has
done
over
the
years,
but
you're
going
to
need
it.
If
we've
done
a
lot
of
emergency
funding,
you're
gonna
need
it.
Something
else
is
going
to
come
up
and
you're
going
to
need
those
salary.
O
Savers,
you're
gonna,
need
something
in
your
department
and
that's
why
I
would
be
willing
to
add
to
this,
not
only
with
the
the
character
of
the
department.
What
is
done
over
the
years?
I
think
this
is
a
minor
request,
knowing
that
you've
spent
zero
in
capital
improvements,
so
III
don't
have
a
problem
with
putting
that
on
the
list
out
of
the
fund
balance
and
allowing
them
they're
gonna
need
their
salary
savings.
They're
gonna
need
all
that
cause.
O
L
For
me,
we've
got
the
rest
of
May
and
in
June,
so
we
have
less
than
60
days
left
in
this
fiscal
year,
and
so
the
salary
savings
would
not
remain
with
them.
It
would
actually
go
to
the
reserve
fund
and
because
of
the
amount
of
salary
savings
they
because
they've
not
feel
positions
and
so
forth.
That
is
the
only
reason
I
suggest.
There's
no
one.
You
have
two
million
two.
L
A
L
B
Essentially,
what
it
would
be
would
be
a
use
of
reserves,
I
mean
all
salary
savers
roll
up
to
reserves,
so
it
would
be
a
use
of
reserves.
We'd
look
at
additional
operating
savings
that
could
possibly
be
in
the
department
first
I'm
to
allow
the
purchase
of
some
of
these
items,
and
then
it
would
be
doing
find
reserves
that
would
we
be
essentially
using
as
opposed
to
salary
savings
director.
P
But
as
I'm
going
to
share
in
a
few
moments,
we're
at
a
point
where
we
have
to
decide
what
services
we
offer
and
what
we're
able
to
do,
because
certainly
I
can
promise
you
that
our
team,
we
will
do
more
as
long
as
we
can
with
less
but
we've
sort
of
reached
the
point.
If
you
look
at
our
budget
and
you
look
over
the
last
twenty
years,
that
we've
done,
that
we've
proven
that
we
can
do
that.
P
O
Where
you've
explained
yourself-
and
it
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
asking
this-
is
for
us
to
learn
to
I-
mean
we're
learning
as
we
as
we
go
here
so
we'll
know,
but
I'm
I'm,
comfortable
I
think
it's
going
to
be
handled,
but
we
appreciate
what
you
and
all
your
department's
done
over
the
years.
It's
phenomenal.
Yes,
sir.
F
P
A
M
I,
may
madam
chairman
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
There
is
a
say:
there's
about
two
million
in
salary
savings.
Isn't
that
already
in
that
already
factored
into
what
the
projected
fund
balance
will
be
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
which
then
impacts
the
fund
balance.
We
begin
with
an
FY
20.
The
fund
balance
that
we
project
the
end
with
in
FY
22
million
dollars
in
salary
savings
is
not
is
not
additional
to
what's
in
the
fund
balance,
it
has
already
been
calculated
in
the
estimated
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
FY
19.
M
P
Ma'am
so,
as
I
spoke
of
earlier,
I
talked
about
the
vehicles
in
our
department,
the
fact
that
we
currently
have
63
vehicles
I
also
mention
the
fact
that
if
we
have
a
vehicle
go
down,
we
have
no
more
vehicles,
so
I
have
it
for
you
now
at
a
list
of
ten
and
I'm,
not
asking
for
these
specifically
to
today,
but
I
want
you
to
be
aware,
I
like
to
give
clear
information
to
be
transparent.
So
you
know
these.
P
Ten
vehicles
are
vehicles
that
have
been
salvaged
out
of
our
department,
going
back
as
far
as
fiscal
year,
ten
and
due
to
the
lack
of
funding,
because
our
department
is
the
one
department
that
we
rely
solely
on
general
funds
to
be
given
to
our
department
for
a
capital
for
anything
that
we
have
to
purchase.
We
don't
have
any
additional
funds
that
we
can
use
to
purchase
vehicles.
We
just
don't
or
any
equipment
for
that
matter.
So
any
money
we
get
to
spend
to
make
purchases
for
equipment,
vehicles,
repairs.
P
Now
I'm
going
to
transition
for
a
moment
away
from
that
type
of
discussion
and
talk
about
the
actual
individual
budgets
and
I
have
three
of
those
areas
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about
real
quick
athletics.
Our
athletics
division
has
continued
to
operate
over
the
last
few
years
and
we've
picked
up
programs
and
we've
offered
things
best.
Example
to
give
you
as
Columbus
youth
basketball.
Most
of
you
have
been
around
long
enough
to
know
that
we
discontinued
Columbus
youth
basketball
in
the
mid
2000s.
P
We
did
away
with
the
program
temporarily
for
a
few
years
and
because
of
that
fact,
the
funding
was
removed
from
the
dormant,
so
fast-forward
a
few
years
or
go
back
a
few
years.
From
now,
and
we
were
asked
to
reoffer
that
program
to
the
community,
it's
a
great
program.
We
have
several
hundred
children
that
participate
now
again
in
that
program.
The
community
loves
it.
P
Currently,
our
line
is
over
by
seventy
three
thousand,
but
we're
not
concerned
this
year
because
we
work
with
finance
and
we're
currently
doing
overrides
and
we're
spinning
because
of
the
wages
it's
an
offset.
If
you
will
so
it's
a
balance.
The
problem
we
have,
though,
is,
although
we
have
all
those
salary
and
wages
our
overall
operating
budget
is
going
as
over
right
now,
we're
currently
over
by
about
thirty-five
thousand
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
be
over
each
year,
because
we
haven't
received
any
additional
operating
now
again
we're
not
talking
salary
and
wages
we're
talking
operating.
P
So
we
can't
continue
to
offer
the
programs
we
offer
without
going
over,
or
we
can't
add
new
programs.
Our
department
would
love
to
be
able
to
add
new
programs
for
the
community,
a
kickball
program
and
and
various
other
programs
that
the
community
wants,
but
unfortunately
we
are
not
funded
to
be
able
to
do
so
so
we're
at
an
impasse.
P
If
you
will,
where
our
funding
is
sort
of
limiting
us,
and
just
and
most
of
this
is
for
in
from
purposes
just
so
you
you,
you
have
an
idea
of
where
we're
coming
from,
but
without
any
additional
funding
being
given
to
the
department.
Each
year
we
can't
grow.
We
can't
meet
the
needs
of
the
community.
Simply
put.
We
have
to
decide
whether
we
continue
to
just
overrun
our
budget
which,
in
the
end
of
the
day,
is
balanced.
But
do
we
overrun
certain
areas
or
do
we
start
to
cut
programs
and
not
offer.
K
P
There
are
we
we
do
not
fundraise
be
in
the
city.
We
charge
registration
fees,
just
like
a
little
igloo.
If
you
would
we
charge
a
fee
that
covers
uniforms,
covers
insurance
and
things
things
of
that
nature
officials.
But
the
problem
is
its
outweighing
a
lot
of
our
programs.
We
don't
necessarily
have
registration
fees
for
like,
for
example,
the
security
that
I
mentioned.
P
The
security
is
the
big
one
for
us:
you're
not
going
to
have
an
event
where
you're
gonna
charge
a
fee
to
have
a
special
event
type
program:
you're,
not
gonna,
charge
a
fee
that
for
an
open
public
event,
but
we
still
have
to
have
security
for
that
event
and
another
example
would
be
at
the
South
Commons
at
the
softball
complex.
We
have
a
tournament
for
the
weekend.
Well,
our
department's
not
making
the
direct
revenue.
P
We
are
we're
making
it
in
the
larger
aspect
of
hotel
motel
with
people
coming
to
the
city
and
that
going
into
the
general
fund.
If
you
will,
because
we
don't
see
hotel-motel
tax
in
our
department,
but
it
goes
to
the
city.
So
we
see
it
in
that
regards,
but
it
doesn't
help
us
because
our
budgets
not
getting
any
of
that
money
back
we're
paying
it
out,
because
we
had
paid
security
and
and
employees
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
we're
not
seeing
a
return
on
it
because
we
don't
charge.
P
K
P
Can
probably
get
that
from
between
the
CVB
and
the
Sports
Council?
Yes,
because
it's
primarily
going
to
be
the
same
numbers
that
the
Sports
Council
presents
to
you
guys
when
I
know,
Mary
ain't
sure
she'll
come
and
give
you
an
overview
of
the
previous
year.
She
and
Peter
will
come.
It
would
be
those
numbers
but
I'll
be
happy
to
get
those
back
for
you,
but
it
would
be
those
numbers
because
that's
the
impact,
because
it's
our
facilities
that
they
you
utilized
the
tournaments,
are
being
held
in
the
facilities
that
are
being
used.
P
A
N
P
Only
way,
unfortunately,
to
capture
that
and
it's
not
gonna
be
favored
would
possibly
be
hotel-motel
because
we're
the
one
department
that's
directly
responsible
for
offering
some
of
these
things,
but
don't
receive
any
of
the
funding
for
hotel-motel
tax,
meaning
we
offer
tournaments.
We
offer
events,
we
have
things
that
are
held
here
in
the
community
at
our
facilities,
whether
it
be
Woodruff,
Soccer,
Complex
or
South,
Commons
or
Memorial
Stadium,
when
we
host
the
classic.
P
But
we
don't
see
any
of
the
funds
for
those
people
who
come
to
the
community
and
and
I
say
that,
because
that's
primarily
where
they
come
as
they
come
and
use
our
the
city's
facilities,
but
they're
the
the
minimal
amount
that
is
charged
would
not
be
enough.
Just
like
for
registration.
For
example,
if
a
team
comes
and
pays
their
X
amount
of
dollars,
sometimes
we
get
a
little
bit
of
that.
P
But
for
the
most
part
we
do
not
because
we
charge
rent
to
the
organizations
that
use
our
facilities,
but
that's
only
a
small
amount
compared
to
how
many
people
may
come
in
a
weekend.
How
many
thousands
think
about
it?
That
way,
you
think
about
the
thousands
of
people
that
come
into
a
community
on
a
weekend
for
a
tournament,
I'm
heads
and
beds
they
spend
you
know
they
go
out
to
eat
or
they
forgot
their
toothbrush
or
they
forgot
whatever.
B
As
just
to
reiterate
what
director
Bharata
was
mentioning,
none
of
that
money
is
goes
back
directly
to
the
budget
or
parts
from
recreation.
It
is
in.
The
grand
scheme
of
things
goes
into
the
general
fund
because,
like
most
other
departments,
part
some
recreations,
primarily
their
budget,
is
in
the
general
fund.
B
So,
as
she
mentioned
the
hotel-motel
tax
that
that
is
collected
by
the
city,
but
that
does
not
go
to
the
city
that
is
distributed
to
the
other
entities
that
that
received
those
funds
that
8%,
but
the
city
will
receive
direct
economic
impact
in
way
of
sales
taxes.
So
the
sales
tax
increases
that
we've
seen
would
be
you
know
partially
there
tournaments
would
would
directly
impact
that
so
do.
P
Not
charging
fees,
no
we're
comparable
to
other
cities
of
our
size
and
for
like
amenities,
so
we've
benchmarked
in
the
past
and
that's
how
we
arrived
at
where
we
are
so
I,
don't
think
that
helps
us
because
we
don't
want
to
price
ourselves
out
of
the
market
and
right
now
it's
a
market,
that's
very
saturated
stuff
and
I've
recently
had
the
conversation
that
the
market
seems
to
be
very
saturated,
everybody's
popping
up
and
everybody
wants
to
have
tournaments.
Everybody
wants
to
offer
things,
and
so
it's
sort
of
diluted
the
market
a
little
bit
so
I.
P
P
Does
and
so
the
entities
across
the
city
that
benefit
that
benefit
at
the
at
the
leisure,
if
you
will
of
our
department,
because
we
offer
great
amenities,
great
service,
our
staff
does
a
top-notch
job
and
that's
why
we
continue
to
have
certain
organizations
that
come
back
every
year
and
have
for
20
years.
It's
the
service,
you,
you
know
yourselves.
If
you
go
someone
you
receive
great
service,
you
come
back
well,
we're
very
good
I
mean
our
folks
are
very
good
at
the
service
they
offer.
Ok,.
F
L
L
Definitely.
City
manager
has
twisted
my
arm
and
said
you
know
you're
going
to
do
it.
You
need
to
do
250,000
and
one
time
engines
just
and
that's
why
I
was
over
there
in
and
so
and
so
I'll.
You
know,
I
do
agree
with
her.
If
we
could
do
that
one
time
and
then
maybe
she
could
figure
out
how
to
not
get
caught
up,
but
at
least
keep
things
going.
I
don't
know.
If
that
answered
your
question,
Mayor
Pro
Tem,
you
asked
where
the
money's
gonna
come
from.
L
That's
what
I
can
offer
you
and
that-
and
you
heard
what
the
mayor
said
it
while
we
went
to
salary
savings,
to
do
it
right
now,
as
we
can
come
back
this
month,
eventually,
because
it's
been
calculated
into
the
project
that
salary
savings
that
we
will
have
based
on
what
the
finance
director
thinks
will
be
there
in
salary
savings
across
the
board.
In
essence,
it
still
comes
out
of
sour
out
of
reserve,
but
we're
just
going
ahead
and
allowing
them
to
move
forward
with
it
at
this
time.
F
Money
as
well
still,
you
know
having
to
spend
money
but
spending
money
to
make
money
because
we
want
to
have
tournaments
and
things
come
into
this
community
we'd
have
to
have
the
deal,
isn't
it
has
to
be
in
good
running
condition,
and
that
now
is
it
the
bathroom
sentence
it
apart.
Oh,
they
know
close.
L
Well,
I
actually
met
with
the
Parks
and
Rec
director
this
morning
and
I
had
questions
in
a
conversation
with
her
about
restrooms
and
she
has
a
strategy
and
she
is
working
actually
with
law.
Johnson
who's
over
Community,
Development,
Block
Grant,
and
she
has
a
plan
and
a
strategy
for
dealing
with
the
restrooms
over
a
number
of
years
in
the
in
the
various
parks
will
support
from
Community
Development
Block
Grant.
It's
what
she's
here
with
me
this
morning.
So
she
it's
on
her
radar
and
she's
working
with
it.
A
L
Ma'am,
that's
exactly
what
I
would
propose
and
and
I
think
she
knows
that
you
know
the
Taman
we'd
love
to
have
Park
Rangers,
for
example,
but
the
timing
is
not
right
for
Park
Rangers,
but
she
did
not
want
to
go
without
bringing
it
to
you.
But
she
understands-
and
we
had
this
conversation
this
morning-
so
yes
ma'am
at
what
that's,
what
I
would
recommend.
I
P
In
some
of
the
areas
we
do
to
help
cover
some
of
it,
but
some
of
it
you
just
can't
charge
you
can't
pass
along
the
cost.
We
do
a
pretty
good
job
trying
to
pass
along
the
cost
to
many
of
our
organizations
and
then
some
we
will
have
them
directly
contract
with
security.
That
way
we
aren't
having
to
do
it,
but
we
verify-
and
we
know
we
coordinate
with
Sheriff's
Department
police
department,
so
we
know
that
they
are
using
and
they
have
adequate
security.
But
that
saves
us.
P
So,
yes,
we
do
some
of
that,
where
we
basically
offset,
but
where
we're
letting
them
be
responsible
and
pay
for
it,
so
we're
covered.
That's
the
only
way,
we're
able
to
help
ourselves
a
little
bit
if
you
will,
but
sometimes
there's
just
there's
no
way,
for
example,
and
I
keep
using
an
example,
but
it's
the
best
example
to
explain
like
in
Columbus,
youth,
basketball,
for
example.
We
don't
pass
along
that
security
cost
to
to
the
consumer,
to
the
kids.
A
P
R
City
manager
for
Holly
I
just
want
to
be
clear
because
I
believe
in
Parks
and
Rec,
and
it's
funny
we
were
in
our
take-home
car
committee
and
we
talked
about
you
to
you
know
how
important
your
your
organization
is
and
other
things
that
you
do
so
it's.
Finally,
you
know
it's
funny
that
we're
having
this
conversation
now
but
I
wanted
to
know.
Did
that
too,
because
I
wasn't
sure
what
Judy
was
asking
that
$250,000
that
you're
talking
about
would
that
include
the
deficit
that
she's
gonna
have
with
that
35,000?
R
R
We
keep
saying
that
you
know
in
order
to
keep
the
children
you
know
busy
and
and
they
will
help
our
community,
so
I
guess
I'm
wanting
to
ask.
Can
we
get
it
like
a
maybe
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
we
can
get
like
a
total
of
what
she's
actually
meeting
both
in
capital
improvements
and
Auntie
athletic
programs,
because
why
I
agree
with
the
capital
improvement
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
athletic
program,
because
these
children
in
our
community
need
these
programs
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
programs
were
offering
are
funded.
R
So
I
guess
I'll
just
wait
and
then
I
would
wait
for
staff
to
tell
us
you
know
from
where
we
can
get
some
of
these
dollars,
because
I'm
wondering
too
for
the
athletic
programs.
Can
we
get
that
from
the
crime
prevention
program?
I
don't
know
from
where,
but
I
really
were
addressing
the
capital
improvement,
but
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
athletic
portion
of
it,
and
if
we're
going
to
do
a
little
bit
here,
I
prefer
to
do
a
little
bit
on
the
other
side.
L
R
L
Mean
you
absolutely
make
sense,
I
think
I
was
trying
to
address
what
she
refers
to
his
urgent
capital
outlay
needs,
because
if
they
don't
do
the
MOU
and
you
want
to
hear
from
your
constituents-
and
so
they
will
figure
out
the
the
program
related
human
resources
and
how
you
make
all
that
work,
but
you
gotta
and
and
I
didn't
want
to
get
into
it.
The
last
time
you
know
we
had
a
problem
where
moles
lean
and
you
couldn't
repair.
R
Was
a
there
was
a
side
conversation
that
Harry
and
I
were
having
on
the
1
cent
that
we
give
to
the
sports
counts
on
the
others.
If
there's
a
way
and
I
don't
mean
for
it
to
become
a
discussion
today,
they
were
just
having
a
sign
to
see
if
a
portion
of
that
funding
can
be
given
to
Parks
and
Rec
since
Parks
and
Rec
is
a
part
of
their
success,
I
don't
know
how
to
do
it.
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm,
just
it's
a
thought,
I
had
and
we
were
discussing
it
here
and
Gary
said.
R
Well,
maybe
we
need
to
talk
later
to
the
mayor
or
someone,
but
I
want
to
plant
that
seed.
You
know
we're
giving
this
money
from
them
to
bring
in
competition
then,
as
they
make
any
funding
from
the
fees
they
charge
and
so
far,
then
they
should
give
a
small
percentage
back
to
Parks
and
Rec
to
cover
some
of
the
expenses
that
Parks
and
Rec
is
doing
for
them
to
have
a
next
successful
event.
R
So
can
we
kind
of
put
that
on
a
little
checklist
to
see
what
how
we
can
work
that
out
and
if
it's
possible
to
do
it
legally,
I'm,
not
sure
if
it
can
be
or
can't
be,
but
I
think
that
would
be
a
big
big
plus
for
you,
because,
besides
you
with
the
struggles,
we
go
through
our
budget,
if
they're
able
to
contribute
back
to
you,
that
would
be
I
think
would
be
a
great
success
story
for
both
organizations,
not
one
it's
more
successful
than
the
other,
just
something
to
think
about.
Okay,.
G
R
That's
why
I
said
you
know,
maybe
that's
something
for
you
to
do
on
your
checklist,
to
see
how
we
can
do
it
because
we're
there
I'm
pretty
sure
when
they
bring
those
some
sports
and
stuff
there's
fees
that
they
have
to
pay
also
or
there's
something
they
have
to
do.
I,
don't
know
the
whole
story
behind
it,
but
somebody's
got
to
be
making
some
money
besides,
hotels
and
and
restaurants.
R
L
R
R
R
Wanted
to
plant
that
seed,
because
I
have
the
highest
respect
for
Parks
and
Rec
and
Public
Works,
because
those
are
the
two
entities.
Besides
the
public
safety.
Those
are
the
two
entities
that
really
impact
the
citizens
and
the
citizens
are
depending
on
us
to
provide
a
quality
of
life
and
if
we're
able
to
help
other
organizations
or
the
organization
should
be
available
to
help
us,
that's
just
my
thought,
for
it
I
hope
we
can
find
a
way
to
get
you
some
money,
counsel.
A
O
Did
want
to
just
add
this
to
the
conversation
I
know,
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
things
today
and
how
we're
going
to
fund
this
I,
just
I've
thought
about
some
stuff
in
the
past,
where
we've
had
some
conversations
on
salary
savings,
etc.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
just
started
with
one
of
our
larger
departments,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
know.
O
There's
gonna
be
some
other
departments
that
are
gonna
come
in
and
ask
as
well
possibly,
but
you
know
this
conversation
may
carry
over,
in
effect,
some
of
the
other
departments
as
well
and
how
we
have
made
decisions
in
the
past
and
what
we're
currently,
what
we've
done
in
the
past,
what
we're
currently
doing
so,
let's
just
be
I,
guess
consistent
with
with
how
we're
doing
this
from
the
past
years
until
now
as
well.
So
I
just
trust
that
the
management
will
handle
that.
P
Absolutely
I
will
move
quickly.
The
next
area
that
we
were
going
to
Gus
is
aquatics
and
I
will
briefly
tell
you
what
we've
asked
for
is
to
have
our
budget
restored
to
what
we
had
in
fiscal
year
18.
So
here
is
the
summary,
if
you
will,
of
what
what
we
currently
have
and
where
we
currently
are,
but
I'm
gonna
skip
ahead
to
the
next
screen,
that
is
by
the
numbers,
and
this
is
a
snapshot
of
what
our
adopted
budget
in
18
was
what
we
had
in
nineteen,
what
we
requested
and
what
is
currently
approved.
P
The
reason
for
this
was,
as
many
of
you
know,
and
the
presentation
I
gave
back
in
February.
We
are
currently
operating
two
of
the
four
outdoor
pools
due
to
the
issues
that
we
have
in
the
repairs
that
are
needed,
so
we
were
cut
in
our
budget
for
aquatics.
This
is
simply
outdoor
aquatics.
This
is
not
relate
to
the
Aquatic
Center.
P
So
now
we
have
to
have
just
as
many
staff
nearly
to
be
able
to
adequately
can
handle
the
crowd.
Everything
is
pretty
much
the
same
business
for
us,
and
so
we
had
it
requested
to
have
that
funding,
put
back
into
our
budget
and
be
restored,
but
that's
an
operating.
That
is
not
a
capital
item
that
would
be
an
operating
item,
but
it
would
assist
us
and
being
able
to
offer
our
aquatics
programs.
P
Currently,
our
outdoor
pool
off
just
the
operating
budget
is
already
over
by
about
$1,200,
and
if
you
will
the
way
our
budget
works
and
the
way
the
pool
season
works,
is
we
spend
half
a
season
in
one
budget
and
half
a
season
in
the
next
budget?
If
you
will
or
the
way
you
can
look
at
it
is
this
year
we
still
have
half
a
season
to
operate
in
this
budget,
so
we
still
have
May
and
June
and
we're
already
over
about
$1,200
in
our
operating.
P
So
we
are
definitely
going
to
go
over
and
our
outdoor
aquatics
this
year.
We
already
know
that,
because
we
just
don't
have
the
money
we
just
weren't
funded
as
we
had
requested,
which
is
what
we
know
it
takes
to
do
so
so
that
is,
one
of
the
things
we
have
requested
is
to
be
return
back
to
what
our
original
operating
was
in
18.
B
You'd
like
to
make
an
adjustment
to
the
FY
2020
budget
of
personal
information,
you
have
to
put
it
on
the
add
delete
list,
but
I
didn't
want
to
point
out
a
you
know.
Director
broader
mentioned
that
the
Aquatics
was
over
budget
and
currently,
as
of
today,
they
are
not.
She
did
mention
to
me
that
there
were
expenses
that
were
forthcoming
and
that's
what
their
projections
are
based
off
of,
but
just
to
be
clear.
Just
in
case
there
are
any
financial
reports
that
were
being
requested.
Financial
reports
will
not
show
aquatics
as
being
over
budget
they're.
B
N
B
B
A
I
N
P
A
P
A
I
P
Right:
okay,
the
last
area
that
we
would
like
to
discuss
that
relates
to
operating
is
our
therapeutic
section.
For
those
of
you
who
know
we
have
a
therapeutic
section.
We
handle
adults
with
disabilities
here
in
the
City
of
Columbus.
We
have
a
very
good
program.
It
has
grown
tremendously
in
the
past
few
years,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
the
hardest
time
with
is
keeping
staff
and
having
quality
staff
that
can
work
with
someone
who
has
a
mental
or
physical
disability.
P
One
of
the
requests
we
had
place
was
to
reclassify
the
part-time
positions
that
are
in
that
area.
There's
three:
three
part-time
positions.
Currently,
when
we
advertise
to
hire
this
person,
that's
advertised
in
such
a
way
that
it's
the
same
position
that
works
in
a
rec
center
with
a
youth
or
with
a
senior
or
anyone
of
that
nature.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
establish
this
as
a
position
that
stands
apart.
If
you
will
that's
a
little
more
specialized,
it's
still
a
part-time
position,
not
much
about
that
changes,
but
it
does
change
the
grade.
P
We
will
work
with
HR.
One
of
the
things
we
had
done
was
to
request
and
I
believe
this
came
from
finance
and
HR
was
to
move
from
a
grade
two
to
a
grade.
Five
and
the
difference
in
the
salary
variants
per
position
was
twenty
one,
forty
one,
thirty
six
for
a
total
of
sixty
four
24:08,
so
our
request
would
be
for
the
ability
to
reclass
our
position
from
a
grade
two
to
a
grade,
five
still
at
a
part-time
capacity
and
then
to
ask
the
district
for
the
additional
sixty
four
24:08.
P
P
G
C
Physicians,
great
physicians,
grade
6
and
above
or
classified
position
by
CSU
by
ug
8.
That
would
be
reviewed
by
them.
The
anything
below
a
grade
6
grade,
5
and
below
those
are
unclassified
positions
and
are
typically
part-time,
temporary
seasonal
positions.
So
the
department
and
agreements
with
administration
can
decide.
We
do
have
those
on
the
pay
scales
to
God
how
much
we
would
pay
for
those
particular
positions
as
they
are
not
they're,
not
reviewed
by
CSU,
because
they're
not
classified
positions
so.
R
B
R
B
Would
have
to
validate
that,
but
I
do
believe.
That
is
the
correct
amount,
but
I
will
most
certainly
validate
it.
That
is
the
amount
without
benefit,
so
I'll
have
to
now
that
I'm
looking
at
that
and
what
she
provided
to
me,
that
does
not
include
FICA
benefit,
so
I
can
make
those
calculations
give
them
to
you,
because
I
would
like.
R
A
P
I
You
know
when
we
make
our
decisions:
I
don't
want
it
to
just
be
on
the
dollar
amount.
So
could
you
do
us
a
favor
and
prioritize
them
for
us
so
that
we
can
so
we
can
see
what
you
think
is
the
most
important
because
I
think
it's
better
for
you
to
determine
that
then
say
just
the
budget
or
the
numbers.
I
P
B
R
P
Okay,
that
was
that
was
the
last
item
that
we
had
to
discuss
that
related
to
operating
the
next
one
has
already
been
discussed.
This
is
what
was
discussed
earlier
in
relation
to
capital
outlay.
The
items
that
are
listed
here
are
items
that
we
need
in
order
to
maintain
South
Commons,
once
all
the
renovations
are
made
and
for
us
to
maintain
the
facility
in
the
way
it
needs
to
be
maintained,
as
well
as
to
assist
us
in
our
other
park
facilities
as
well.
P
So,
but
we've
already
discussed-
and
this
is
part
of
their
capital
and
then
the
last
item
I
have
is
more
for
informational,
as
mr.
city
manager
stated
earlier,
but
I
really
did
want
to
bring
it
forward
to
you
and
you're
going
to
find.
This
is
a
very
small
excerpt
of
a
much
much
larger
presentation,
Paquette,
that
is
in
your
packet
today.
P
That
gives
you
more
information,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
struggle
with
the
most
with
here
in
our
park
system
is
crime,
and
that's
one
of
the
areas
that
obviously
we
have
no
control
over
I,
don't
have
any
officers,
I
don't
have
anyone
that
has
a
gun
that
can
that
can
do
anything
in
our
parks.
I
will
tell
you
and
has
reached
the
point
that
in
some
of
our
areas
we
no
longer
close
our
own
gates.
This
is
how
severe
it
has
gotten.
We
now
have
the
Sheriff's
Department.
P
We
work
very
closely
with
them
and
have
a
great
relationship
and
appreciate
them
greatly,
but
we
did
have
an
employee
at
one
point
that
had
a
gun
pulled
on
him
face
to
face
in
a
park
one
night,
because
he
was
closing
the
gate
and
asked
them
to
leave.
That
was
the
last
night.
We
closed
the
gate
because
my
employees
don't
carry
weapons
in
no
way
form
or
fashion,
and
so
they're
not
able
to
protect
themselves
and
I
was
not
going
to
put
a
staff
member
in
harm's
way.
P
It
just
wasn't
worth
it,
but
the
park
crime
continues.
Vandalism
continues
in
our
parks,
it's
on
the
rise,
not
just
with
graffiti
but
destruction.
We
talk
about
bathrooms
and
their
lack
thereof,
some
of
our
Park
bathrooms.
We
just
can't
keep
them
open
because
of
all
the
vandalism
that
we
see
so
homelessness.
P
That's
one
of
the
things
that
we
struggle
with
a
lot
in
our
area,
as
you
can
imagine
it
with
the
parks
and
the
various
facilities
we
have.
The
homeless
exist
there.
These
are
pictures
taken
from
the
pedestrian
bridge,
the
Frankie
Martin
bridge.
We
get
lots
of
complaints
about
that
area.
Also,
this
is
in
the
downtown
Uptown
area.
This
is
the
vandalism.
These
are
broken
park,
benches,
the
trash
and
the
debris
our
folks
go
out.
P
Every
day
we
get
complaints
every
day
we
go
out
every
day
and
clean
up
the
trash,
and
as
soon
as
we
get
it
cleaned
up
often
we'll
get
a
call
from
someone
or
get
an
email
that
it's
been.
It
looks
exactly
as
before.
We
cleaned
it
up.
So
one
of
the
things
we
would
recommend-
and
this
is
just
more
as
you
can
see-
articles
and
I
could
go
on
and
on,
but
simply
to
make
it
quick
and
short.
There's
lots
of
articles.
P
There's
lots
of
things
you
can
go
out
and
google
us
and
find
all
kinds
of
terrible
things
that
have
occurred
in
relation
to
crime,
but
the
possible
solution
we
would
like
to
present
and
obviously,
as
Sam
manager
mentioned
earlier,
it
may
not
be
the
correct
time.
I'm
not
sure
there'll
ever
be
a
correct
time
to
to
bring
this
up,
but
we
need
to
start
to
consider
how
we
take
back
our
parks
in
the
crime
that
we
have
in
our
parks.
In
1996,
the
Park
Rangers
were
eliminated.
P
Park
Rangers
used
to
exist
here
in
the
City
of
Columbus
they've
resided
within
our
department.
We
oversaw
them
as
part
of
our
department
just
like
any
other
division.
They
manned
our
parks.
They
maintained
and
went
from
Park
to
park.
They
were
able
to
to
give
citations
if
you
will
to
give
summons,
for
example,
in
the
fiscal
year
96
they
made
180
arrests
and
issued
approximately
800,
summons
and
1500
citations
and
96.
P
We
made
an
approximate
revenue
of
$250,000
off
of
what
they
wrote
and
what
they
did,
and
so
this
is
something
we
would
like
to
have
a
further
discussion
in
the
future
about
just
something
to
think
about
of
how
we
start
to
take
back
our
parks
and
to
do
away
with
some
of
the
crime
and
the
vandalism
that
we
see
in
those
parks.
So
I
said
I
would
be
quick
as
much
as
possible,
but.
P
Do
I
have
one
quick
request,
though:
I
have
someone
if
he
wants
to
speak,
we
had
a
member
of
our
advisory
board
to
come
today
and
I.
Don't
know
if
he
wants
to
speak
mr.
Carl
Brown,
who
has
been
with
us
for
many
years
ahead
and
for
a
period
of
time
served
as
our
our
lead.
If
you
will,
for
our
advisory
board,
has
been
a
huge
proponent
of
us
for
many
many
years.
Mr.
Brown
did
you
want
to
say
if
you
have
a
moment,
I
hope.
T
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council
as
a
board
as
a
body
board,
member
I
just
want
to
tell
you
I,
remember
when
I
retired
from
the
military
here
the
reason
I've
stayed
in
Columbus
was
because
at
the
time
in
each
one
of
our
local
housing
complexes,
we
opened
community
centers
and
we
talked
about
crime
in
our
community
and
all
of
that-
and
we
believe
and
I
know
for
a
fact
because
of
the
work
that
parts
of
recreation
does
crime
has
a
potential
to
go
down.
But
we
got
a
funded.
T
We're
asking
the
citizens
of
our
community
to
vote
on
different
things
and
I'm
a
citizen,
and
if
you
don't
fun,
plots
and
recreation,
then
crime
is
only
going
to
go
up,
because
our
youth
need
things
they
need
to
do.
They
should
be
involved
in
and
with
the
fact
that
people
need
to
be
paid
for
the
work
they
do,
and
it's
just
that
simple
I
can't
make
it
any
clearer
than
that
they
do
a
great
job
with
the
personnel
that
they
have.
They
work
hard,
I
use
the
facilities
run
at
the
parks.
T
I
see
what
the
bathroom
looks
at
looks
like
at
6:00
p.m.
but
then
I
go
back
to
6:00
a.m.
and
also
see
what
it
looks
like
how
it
looks.
So
we
got
to
give
credit
to
them
for
what
they
do,
but
they
need
money
to
do
it.
Every
other
city
in
the
United
States
we're
running
into
competition.
Now
from
other
cities.
As
for
events,
we
looked
at
Stone
Mountain,
getting
ready
to
build,
put
200
million
dollars
over
there
right
off
I-20
into
a
Sports
Complex
and
that's
going
to
pull
money
away
from
our
city.
T
O
As
I
know,
we
got
Police
Department,
Sheriff's
Department.
We
do
really
need
to
understand
that
and
and
to
understand
it
in
a
means
in
having
this
conversation,
I
there's
a
lot
of
competition
out
there
and
we
talk
about
this
all
the
time.
What's
really
extremely,
it's
important
to
me
and
and
I
know
it
is
to
this
council
about
our
one
patrol
officers
were
really
really
concerned
about
that.
O
A
You
Thank
You
director
brighter,
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
were
in
the
room
before
when
we
talked
about
the
procedure,
we're
going
to
we've
added
some
things
to
the
add
list
that
will
be
voted
on
on
May
the
21st.
The
city
manager
is
going
to
take
care
of
a
couple
of
things
before
we
get
to
that.
But
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
I
want
to
particularly
thank
that
people
from
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department
who
are
here.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do.
A
A
A
B
U
I'll,
be
very
brief,
I'm
here
just
to
talk
to
you
quickly
about
the
new
voting
equipment,
implementation
that
will
occur
in
the
summer
and
in
the
fall
this
year
the
state
just
issued
the
RFP
in
spring
of
this
year
for
the
new
equipment
they
are
in
the
procurement
process.
Now,
with
an
anticipated
rollout
of
fall
of
2019
mandated
use
of
the
new
equipment,
new
equipment
in
2020,
don't
mean
to
continue
okay,
so
I'm
not
asking
for
additional
information
or
additional
funding
at
this
point.
U
U
Schedule
that
we
have
been
given
again,
the
RFP
has
been
issued.
Procurement
will
occur,
contract
negotiation.
All
that
will
occur
in
the
summer
anticipated
rollout
in
the
fall
with
pilot
counties
that
are
having
municipal
elections
in
November
of
this
year.
So
we
should
know
something
by
end
of
summer,
but
regardless
it's
going
to
require
additional
training
both
for
elections,
workers
staff
and
for
the
public.
So.
U
A
S
S
It's
in
with
that
backdrop,
that,
in
that
vein,
that
we've
presented
our
budget
proposals
to
you
we're
trying
to
do
the
best
we
can
to
make
the
recorders
court
experience
as
pleasant
as
possible
for
our
citizens.
What
we're
providing
you
is
what
we
consider
to
be
not
once
but
needs,
and
so
again
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
our
presentation
and
also
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
job
that
you
do.
I
certainly
know
and
appreciate
your
job.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Just
wanted
to
just
give
you
a
brief
preview
and
thank
you
very
much
for
all
your
support
with
the
remodeling
and
the
construction
and
just
show
you
a
few
pictures
briefly
before
I
go
into
what
we
actually
need.
Okay,
so
right
here,
as
you
can
tell,
I've
got
before-and-after
pictures
of
what
recorders
court
looked
like
when
I
came
on
the
right.
This
is
the
judges
office.
Now
that
was
Michigan.
Q
Q
This
is
what
the
copy
room
and
the
printers
look
like
on
the
left
and
on
the
right
that
is
what's
been
done,
with
the
finances
that
you've
given
to
us
to
use
right
here,
as
you
can
see,
we've
got
the
new
cubicles
in
the
morale
is
a
whole
lot
better.
We
have
a
great
staff,
we
have
great
supervisors
and
great
employees
right
here.
Here's
another
picture
of
the
office
right
here.
Q
This
is
the
stockroom
area,
where
we
keep
all
of
our
records
for
two
years
before
sending
them
over
on
the
left
is
the
break
room
when
I
first
came,
the
break
room
was
so
bad.
You
didn't
even
want
to
go
in
there.
Now
we
have
a
sink.
We
have
cabinets
a
refrigerator
and
tables
and
chairs
where
people
can
actually
sit
in
the
break
room
on
the
right.
We
were
not
handicap
accessible,
but
now
we
have
the
handicapped
bathroom
with
the
baby
changing
area.
Q
Q
Our
caseload
from
2017
to
2018
has
increased
increased
by
43
percent.
In
cases
we
were
doing
16
courts
a
week
when
I
first
came
now
we're
doing
about
22
up
to
22
per
week
that
came
effective,
February
of
2018
in
October
of
2018,
CPD,
contacted
recorders
court
and
the
responsibility
of
running
criminal
histories
and
driver's
histories
for
the
judges.
Q
It
is
required
by
Georgia
that
we
put
that
information
in
within
30
days
from
the
Senate
state,
but
were
five
years
behind
I
need
more
staff
to
help
with
that.
To
get
that
input
and
put
it
in
the
system.
Also
CPD
in
January
of
this
year
contacted
me
and
they
said:
listen
we're
going
to
be
adding
two
more
tag:
readers,
so
that's
going
to
also
increase
your
caseload
even
more.
Q
This
is
just
a
graph
of,
as
you
can
see,
the
caseload
in
2016.
There
are
59
thousand
four
hundred
and
sixty-four
cases.
Two
thousand
seventeen.
Fifty
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
eighty
five
cases
and
2018
went
up
to
eighty
four
thousand
one
hundred
and
safe
seven
cases
and
I'm
looking
for
the
caseload
to
increase
even
more
in
the
next
coming
year,
because
the
police
department's
doing
a
great
job
they're
getting
out
there
they're
trying
to
make
our
community
safer
and
so
more
tickets
are
being
written,
but
we
still
have
to
process
all
those
tickets.
Q
Things
that
we
need
to
do
to
expedite
the
court
and
to
make
things
run
smoother
I've
had
to
close
the
drive-through
window
down
temporarily,
because
I
don't
have
the
staff
to
take
care
of
it,
but
by
reopening
the
drive-through
will
reduce
traffic
in
the
lobby.
There
will
be
less
crowded,
courtrooms
we'll
be
able
to.
Hopefully
you
know,
move
the
court
move
the
courts
around
to
where
we
can
have
some
of
the
motor
squad
officers
in
Thursday
afternoon
court,
which
is
what
I'm
asking
for
right
now
the
public
is
in
court.
Q
Some
days
like
today
is
just
an
example:
Court
will
not
get
over
with
probably
in
recorders
court
until
probably
7
o'clock
tonight.
Okay,
it's
really
big.
Today,
I
separated
motor
squad
cases
to
where
we
have
part
in
one
courtroom,
part
in
another
courtroom,
along
with
the
jail
and
traffic
already,
but
we're
just
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
accommodate
the
amount
of
tickets
that
we're
getting
in
trying
to
divide
it
up,
so
that
court
will
not
go
till
nine
or
ten
o'clock
at
night.
Another
thing
is,
it
will
shorten
the
wait
time
for
the
public.
Q
Q
The
solution
to
this
is
to
add
three
additional
employees
that
would
help
cover
the
clerk
in
the
courtroom
for
an
additional
court
on
Thursdays
a
payment
window
help
get
the
drive-through
window
open
and
help
us
get
GCI
see
caught
up.
That
would
be
three
additional
employees
at
thirty
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
twelve
dollars,
that's
not
including
the
FICA
and
all
that,
and
we
also
need
two
additional
court
sessions
on
Thursdays.
That
would
require
a
judge
to
do
each
court
session.
Q
A
B
Correct
so
for
one
full-time,
great
12,
deputy
clerk
to
position
with
benefits,
it's
four
to
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty
four
dollars.
If
it's
three
positions
that
you're
requesting
to
add
it's,
the
total
amount,
including
benefits,
is
one
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
two
dollars
the
court
sessions.
A
G
B
H
H
F
N
Q
I
had
to
set
a
priority:
I've
got
to
have
more
employees,
we
are
barely
getting
the
dockets
ready
in
time
for
Court
right
now
and
I
would
say
an
additional
if
you
can't
do
two
sessions
for
the
judge
on
Thursday.
Maybe
one
additional
session
for
judge,
but
I've
got
to
have
more
employees
to
be
able
to
process
everything
that
we're.
We
the
load
that
we've
taken
on
in
the
past
year.
Okay,.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
just
to
kind
of
echo
some
of
the
comments
that
councillor
Garrett
offered.
We
did
the
recorders
court
committee
did
meet
with
with
Miss
Willingham
and
while
it's
not
a
revenue
producing
court,
we
felt
like
that.
Would
the
additional
processes
in
place
to
accommodate
all
the
citations
that
things
that
happen
in
the
city
from
the
police
perspective
to
process
those
through
the
court
more
quickly
would
produce
the
revenue
or
generate
the
revenue
to
sufficiently
cover
the
requests
that
Miss
Willingham
is
put
for
us
today.
A
G
Q
Then
the
other
ones
would
be.
We
have
to
have
a
clerk
in
the
courtroom
with
the
judge.
If
we
have
a
court
session,
then
we
also
have
to
have
a
clerk
that
takes
payments
at
the
windows
with
every
clerk
with
every
court
session
that
we
do,
but
we're
also
we
need
help
because
we're
barely
getting
dockets
ready
right
now.
So
we
really
need
an
additional
poised
to
take
care
of
all
that
as
well
and.
R
Q
Have
the
clerk's
taking
the
payments
we
in
recorders
court?
We
have
anytime
courts
going
on.
We
have
to
have
a
separate
payment
window
because
you
have
to
process
all
the
paperwork
coming
out
in
court
as
long
as
take
the
payments
from
each
court
that
goes
on,
and
then
we
also
have
another
payment
window,
that's
down
the
hallway
where
people
can
go
and
they
can
make
their
payments.
So
we
have
payments
going
on
for
every
court
for
each
court
room
and
then
we
also
have
payments
in
the
hallway
where
people
can
the
public
comes
in
for.
Q
A
A
We've
seen
quite
a
change
in
our
recorders
court,
since
you
and
and
judge
hunter
have
been
there,
and
we
appreciate
your
efforts
and
what
you've
done
and
I
I
don't
know
if
you
were
in
here
when
we
said
before
that
the
things
that
are
on
the
ad
list
will
not
be
voted
on
today.
We
will
vote
on
them,
May
the
21st
when
we
go
through
the
ad
delete
list.
Okay,
great.
Q
B
V
Brought
my
life
good
at
anyway.
We
do
want
to
thank
you.
Ed
berry
will
make
our
presentation
I
would
say
that
basically
we
are
viewing.
This
is
largely
unfinished
business
from
last
year
and
so
I
don't
think
there
any
surprises
here.
Most
of
our
presentation.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
all
of
our
presentation
has
to
do
with
funding
the
management
of
the
civil
and
the
domestic
dockets
for
Muscogee
County
and
the
cases
that
appear
on
those
dockets.
V
We
consistently
show
every
year
that
those
two
categories
of
cases
make
up
anywhere
from
60%
to
two-thirds
of
all
of
the
cases
that
go
through
the
court.
If
you
read
the
newspaper,
you
would
think
that
the
only
thing
we
really
handle
or
criminal
cases,
but
the
criminal
cases
are
actually
the
smallest
category
of
cases
that
we
handle
the
typical
day
in
the
typical
judicial
assistance.
Life
typical
hour
of
that
day
is
spent
dealing
usually
with
the
domestic
relations
case
or
a
sim.
V
U
A
V
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
we
do
have
other
people
who
are
here
as
well
from
the
courts
who
are
interested
court
personnel,
court
staff,
the
judge,
Ben
land
judge,
art
Smith,
our
Superior
Court
Clerk.
Miss
forte
is
here
also
the
judicial
assistants
who
are
affected
by
this
and
who
are
doing
the
work
or
seated
here
as
well.
We
also
have
a
law
clerk
from
Judge
land
and
judge
gottfrid's
office
mr.
burns
here
and
then
mr.
V
W
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
Thank,
You
counsel,
mayor
city
manager-
and
this
is
Alexander
I-
certainly
appreciate
you
allocating
this
time
slot
for
me
and
I
appreciate
your
efforts
on
that.
My
name
is
Ed
Barrie
and
I'm.
The
circuit
administrator
for
the
superior
courts
here
in
Muskogee
County
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Superior
Court
judges,
and
there
are
seven
judicial
assistance.
W
W
In
addition,
when
a
judicial
assistant
has
to
prepare
and
manage
the
civil
and
domestic
dockets,
they
have
to
have
interaction
with
the
attorneys
that
are
on
those
dockets
and
the
pro
se.
Parties,
as
it
relates
to
those
dockets
I,
will
repeat
what
Judge
MacBride
indicated
that
it
is
important
to
understand
that
these
dockets,
these
civil
and
domestic
cases,
make
up
two-thirds
of
our
entire
circuit
caseload
or
at
the
county
caseload.
Now
the
other
alternative,
as
opposed
to
hiring
the
circuit,
the
Superior
Court
clerks
additional
Superior
Court
clerks
to
take
on
these
duties.
W
The
other
alternative
was
to
pay
a
stipend
to
the
judicial
assistance
for
preparing
these
these
dockets
and
keep
in
mind
that
they
have
done
that
over
many
many
years.
It
goes
really
goes
back
to
Judge
John
land
wanting
his
assistant
to
be
able
to
prepare
those
dockets,
the
first
alternative
included,
allowing
the
duties
to
simply
be
absorbed
back
into
Superior
Court
Clerk's
office,
and
that
alternative
meant
when
they,
if
they
hired
those
deputy
clerks,
it
meant
a
payroll
increase
of
according
to
miss
Alexander.
W
Last
year,
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
eighty
six
thousand
one
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
per
year.
That's
what
hiring
those
clerks
to
do
the
these
tasks
that
the
judicial
assistance
that
were
that's
what
it
would
have
cost
in
order
to
do
that.
But
the
alternative
we're
here
about
today
would
mean
leaving
an
already
efficient
and
streamlined
system
in
place
and
funding
a
stipend
of
$10,000
for
each
of
the
seven
judicial
assistance
amounting
to
seven
seventy
thousand
dollars.
W
The
council
approved
adding
five
thousand
dollars
per
judicial
assistant,
and
the
council
also
asked
that
we
come
back
this
year,
which
is
why
I'm
standing
here
to
ask
for
the
$10,000
stipend
to
be
added
to
this
year's
budget.
The
first
year
was
five
thousand
and
we're
here
now
asking
for
an
addition
for
the
total
ten
thousand.
We
understand
that
the
first
five
thousand
was
included
in
last
year's
budget,
but
we
are
now
seeking
the
remaining
balance
to
bring
this
total
stipend
to
the
ten
thousand
dollars.
W
W
Some
of
the
rural
counties,
the
majority
of
the
Spear
court
clerk
form
the
civil
and
domestic
relations
dockets
in
addition
to
the
criminal
dockets.
They
do
all
of
the
tasks
associated
with
all
dockets.
This.
We
are
one
of
the
very
few
counties
that
actually
our
judicial
assistance
actually
grab
a
hold
of
everything
that
it
takes
to
do
civil
and
domestic
relations
dockets
and
and
performs
those
tasks
in
Muskogee
County.
The
Superior
Court
Clerk
prepares
and
maintains
only
the
criminal
docket.
W
Our
judicial
assistants
prepare
maintain
and
manage
the
civil
and
domestic
docket
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
say
this.
Our
current
Superior
Court
Clerk
encourages
and
and
supports
the
judicial
assistance
continuing
to
do
the
civil
and
domestic
relations
docket.
That
would
be
just
another
thing
that
she
would
have
to
contend
with
now.
W
That's
the
history,
the
history
and
we're
here
before
you
today
to
ask
for
the
council
to
fund
the
requested
$10,000
per
assistant
and
I
will
say
this
I
vividly
remember
a
question
from
councilor
Davis
last
year
concerning
possible
contribution
to
the
stipend
from
the
rural
counties,
and
let
me
the
it's
it's
important
and
that's
why
I
emphasized
that
Muscogee
County
is
unique
and
stands
alone,
and
the
judicial
assistance
preparing
the
civil
and
domestic
relationship
docket
and
Harris
Talbot,
Taylor,
Marian
and
Chattahoochee
the
superior
courts
clerk's
office.
They
do
that.
W
The
Superior
Court
Clerk's
office
manages
all
of
the
dockets
in
those
counties
and
in
my
presentation
last
year,
I
indicated
that
the
judiciary
is
constantly
reviewing
our
docket
system
to
ensure
that
they're,
efficient
and
streamlined
now
efficiency
and
streamlining.
There
was
a
question
as
to
whether
the
new
filing
system
would
alleviate
any
of
the
tasks
involved
in
preparing
these
dockets
and
I
can
say
that
it
absolutely
does
not.
The
e-filing
system
is
for
attorneys
and
the
Superior
Court
Clerk's
office
to
be
able
to
file
on
the
internet
or
in
a
secured
electronic
situation
it
it.
W
They
allowed
me
to
file
documents
right
there
on
my
desk
in
my
office,
and
hopefully
that's
what's
going
to
happen
with
our
system,
but
it
has
nothing
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
preparing
the
actual
dockets
that
list
the
times
and
dates,
and
the
attorneys
involved
and
I
think
everybody
has
seen
a
docket.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
in
order
to
do
that.
So.
W
Having
their
assistance
to
prepare
and
manage
the
civil
and
domestic
dockets
certainly
meets
the
criteria
of
streamlining
and
and
having
the
system
be
efficient
and
I'm.
The
one
other
issue
that
I
remembered
from
last
year
and
I
did
not
prepare
I
did
not
include
it
in
your
handout,
but
I
would
it
was.
We
did
a
survey.
We
called
around
and
asked
each
of
the
circuits
that
were
more
in
line
with
masada
achieve
out
of
the
Chattahoochee
Judicial
Circuit,
we
surveyed,
seven
different
circuits
and
the
ones
that
I
will
well
five
of
the
circuits.
W
Five
to
six
of
the
circuits
have
stipends
that
are
paid
to
their
judicial
assistance.
More
than
$9,000
one
was
ninety
five.
The
median
was
ninety
five
hundred,
but
the
Chattahoochee
Judicial
Circuit
brought
that
median
down.
So
the
better
way
to
look
at
it.
I
identified
the
Augusta
Circuit
and
the
Houston
Circuit,
which
is
a
gust
of
course,
and
Macon
and
Augusta
pays
their
judicial
assistance
$14,000
a
year.
Macon
pays
their
judicial
assistance
$13,000
a
year
in
a
stipend.
W
B
H
I
will
make
that
in
councilor,
crabby
I
think
you
were
still
here
attending
the
the
budget
means,
but
just
to
reiterate
from
the
lawyers
perspective,
our
system
works
a
lot
better.
You
already
heard
us
the
cost
savings,
but
it
also
just
works
a
lot
better
when
they've
got
a
huge
caseload
for
me
to
a
call
talk
to
the
person.
That
really
knows
the
judges
schedule
and
get
back
and
correspond
with
opposing
counsel.
So
it's
efficiency
and
cost
savings.
So,
okay.
A
We
have
added
then
that,
to
the
add
delete
list
anything
else
for
mr.
berry,
I
think
you
probably
were
in
the
audience
when
I
went
through
the
procedure
that
we
will
now
observe.
It's
on
the
add
delete
list,
it's
on
the
ad
side,
and
we
will
then
consider
that
on
May
the
21st
when
we
consider
the
entire
add
delete
list.
So,
while
there's
not
a
resolution
today,
it
is
on
the
list
and
we
will
be
dealing
with
that
on
the
21st.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
and
I
I
want
to
say
to
the
folks
who
are
here
from
your
departments
that
you're
another
group
that
we
rarely
get
to
see.
Luckily,
perhaps
that
we
don't
know
the
judges
folks
too
well,
but
we
do
appreciate
what
you
are
doing
and
how
you
serve
our
community
and
how
you
serve
the
judges
in
the
circuit.
So
thanks
for
what
you
do
for
saying,
keep
keep
up
the
good
job
judges.
