There

Let
the
record
reflect
that.
We
have
a
quorum.
Colleagues
today
Begins
the
budget
committee's
work
on
the
city's
2024
budget.
We
have
two
receive
and
file
items
today.
Item
number
one
is
our
formal
receipt
of
the
mayor's
2024
recommended
budget,
which
was
referred
to
us
by
the
city
council
item.
A
Two
is
the
overview
of
that
budget
presented
to
us
by
the
budget
office
after
we
dispense
with
the
presentation
and
discussion,
I
will
lay
out
our
schedule
going
forward
to
consider
and
amend
mayor
Fry's
budget
proposal,
but
first
I'll
invite
Jane
disenza
from
our
City's
finance
and
Property
Services
Department.
To
begin
the
presentation,
and
just
as
a
note,
we
will
let
Mr
Senza
get
through
her
entirety
of
her
presentation
and
then
start
with
questions.
A
So
please
write
your
questions
down
and
hold
them,
as
some
of
them
might
get
answered
as
she
goes
through
it
but
mind
you.
It.
D
E
So
our
agenda
today
is
to
talk
about
the
budget
book
and
Orient
the
council,
but
also
just
anybody
who
happens
to
be
listening
to
how
to
find
the
important
pieces
within
that
budget
book.
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
broader
context,
so
the
accomplishments
and
challenges
that
impact
this
budget,
some
Basics
on
the
city,
spending
and
revenue
and
then
we'll
Circle
back
with
a
little
bit
on
the
transparency
portal
on
how
to
investigate
questions
that
you
might
have
and
then,
very
briefly,
on
the
budget
roll
as
you
enter
markup.
E
So,
first
of
all,
the
2024
budget
book
we're
continuing
to
use
this
online
interactive
budget
book
format
we're
pretty
proud
of
it.
It's
as
opposed
to
the
static
PDF
format.
This
version
allows
users
to
investigate
their
own
questions
and
really
participate
in
the
data.
So
when
you're
looking
at
the
budget
book-
and
you
see
a
bar
chart
or
a
table
that
is
all
linked
to
our
financial
transparency
site
and
readers
can
click
in
and
investigate
and
refine
the
filters
further.
E
So,
throughout
this
presentation,
I'll
reference
the
budget
book
a
couple
times
and
show
you
all
a
few
key
places
to
to
take
a
look.
So
our
aim
is
always
to
make
budget
data
transparent
and
comprehensible
for
the
average
reader.
We
try
to
anticipate
a
lot
of
your
key
questions
in
the
financial
overview
section
and
finally,
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
budget
book
is
something
the
budget
team
puts
together,
but
it's
a
substantial
effort
from
each
and
every
city
department.
So
we
really
thank
them
for
their
partnership.
E
E
We
have
key
information
on
City
spending,
Revenue
Trends,
and
we
also
have
a
priority
section
where
you
can
see
how
new
Investments
are
grouped
by
City
priorities,
we've
also
added
to
the
financial
overview
of
Grant
section.
So
you
can
see
the
grants
that
are
coming
in
and
also
potential
grant
opportunities
that
we
may
pursue
in
the
future.
E
The
financial
policy
section
lays
out
the
sort
of
technical
pieces
that
guide
the
finance
department's
operations.
There
are
no
changes
proposed
from
what
you
all
heard
in
I
think
February
of
this
year
we
do
plan
to
do
a
more
detailed
audit
of
those
policies
for
the
next
biennial
budget,
so
you'll
hear
from
us
more
next
year,
but
these
policies
have
been
reviewed
by
both
the
state
auditor,
as
well
as
the
rating
agencies
and
they
conform
to
Industry
best
practices
like
gfoa
and
gaap.
E
E
What
are
their
core
functions
what's
their
mission
and
what
are
the
budget
proposals
that
are
part
of
their
2024
recommended
budget
in
each
budget?
Ask
we
always
request
that
departments
provide
us
with
racial
Equity
impact
analyzes
as
well
as
performance
metrics,
so
where
performance
metrics
have
been
already
developed
with
departments
and
PMI,
those
are
reflected
if
they
haven't
done
that
or
if
it's
a
new
item
we
ask
them,
for
you
know
their
best
effort
to
forecast
what
they
might
be
recording
in
the
future,
and
we've
also
added
more
Staffing
information
to
each
department
page.
E
The
capital
section
is
where
you'll
get
the
six
year
plan
for
the
city's
infrastructure
project,
so
this
is
mostly
Public
Works,
Property
Services
and
the
park
board,
as
well
as
public
art
and
NBC
you're.
Going
to
hear
from
my
colleague
Adam
in
October
with
more
detail
on
this,
but
the
capital
section
is
where
really
one
of
the
places
that
the
public
has
the
most
input
with
our
Capital
long-range
Improvement
committees,
recommendations
informing
the
final
final
product
there
and
then
finally,
the
financial
schedules.
E
So
that
is
really
what
you
all
get
to
vote
on
in
December
and
the
rest
of
the
budget
book
sort
of
serves
to
explain
the
financial
schedules.
So
these
are
the
interfront
transfers,
the
overall
expense
and
revenue
information.
You
know
cdbg
Grant
info
Personnel.
These
are
all
the
appropriation
resolutions,
so
feel
indulge
me
I'll
just
take
a
second
and
navigate
to
the
budget
page.
So
I
can
show
folks
where
to
find
all
of
that.
E
The
table
of
contents
opens
up
and
you
can
see
all
the
financial
overview
information,
including
that
new
grants
page
which
we're
excited
about,
and
then
we
have
our
financial
policy
split
out
in
topic
area
and
we
have
operating
departments
this
year.
We
split
them
out
in
Council
and
mayor's
side.
So
the
council.
F
City,
council
and
mayor
must
follow
for
doing
things
like
making
ordinances
and
approving
City
budgets
from
time
to
time.
There's
a
need
to
make
changes
to
the
Charter,
and
that's
where
the
Minneapolis
Charter
commission
comes
in.
Maintaining
the
charter
is
the
job
of
the
commission.
The
fifth
of
15
members
of
the
commission
are
appointed
by
the
chief
judge
of
the
district
court
and
they
consider
changes.
People
want
to
make
to
the
city.
Charter
for
post
changes
can
come
from
the
city
council.
F
They
can
come
from
voters
who
collect
enough
signatures
of
support
for
a
proposed
Charter
change.
They
can
also
come
from
members
of
the
charter
commission.
When
a
proposed
amendment
is
developed,
a
public
hearing
is
conducted,
so
people
can
tell
policy
makers
how
they
feel
about
it.
After
Gathering,
public
input,
The
Proposal
can
be
referred
to
voters
or
it
can
be
taken
up
by
the
city,
council
and
mayor.
If
the
proposal
is
referred
to,
voters,
it
will
show
up
as
a
question
on
the
ballot
and
the
voters
get
to
decide.
F
B
G
H
I
G
E
So
not
unique
to
Minneapolis,
but
worth
mentioning
that
we
still
have
a
tight
labor
market
and
high
vacancy
rates
can
lead
to
slower
spending
and
overextended
staff.
So
that's
certainly
improved
from
last
year,
but
is
something
that
we're
still
Reckoning
with.
We
are
all
continuing
to
adapt
to
the
new
government
structure
and
I
expect
that
will
get
easier
year
to
year,
as
we
all
figure
out.
E
You
know
what
our
lines
are
and
then,
of
course,
the
story
of
the
year
is
really
the
mdhr
settlement
agreement,
what
it
means
for
our
budget
and
our
operations,
and
we
still
have
the
pending
doj
consent,
decree
and
I.
Don't
know
exactly
when
that
will
impact
our
budget,
but
it
is
still
something
we
have
to
plan
for.
E
So
moving
on
to
spending,
so
the
mayor
is
recommending
a
1.8
billion
dollar
budget
in
2024,
so
this
is
about
an
8.3
percent
increase
from
the
prior
adopted
budget
that
excludes
our
independent
boards
and
transfers.
Again
we're
able
to
do
this
within
that
6.2
percent
Levy
that
was
planned
for
you
can
see
from
this
Slide.
The
the
sort
of
top
categories
of
spending
are
contractual
Services
and
salaries
and
wages
and
there's
also
a
big
increase
in
Capital
Equipment.
There.
E
And
just
to
sort
of
back
up,
you
know
you
heard
from
the
rest
of
the
budget
team
in
May
when
we
gave
the
current
service
level
presentation,
so
this
slide
is
just
meant
to
orient
us
to
where
we
are
in
the
process.
So
last
time
you
heard
from
us,
we
talked
about
how
we
calculated
the
Personnel,
the
internal
service
charges
and
that
non-personnel
base,
and
that
is
what
you
know,
comprises
the
CSL
we're
now
at
the
point.
E
In
the
year
where
we
took
the
CSL
we've
stacked
on
the
new
budget
proposals
and
that's
how
we
get
the
Mayors
recommended
budget,
so
that
current
service
level
is
really
just
the
cost
of
doing
business.
What
we've
already
committed
to
doing
in
the
prior
year
budget,
we
exclude
one-time
change
items
so
2023
only
items.
We
pull
out
things
that
were
slated
to
start
in
2024.
We
added
in
when
we
talked
to
you
in
may.
E
E
Collective
bargaining
units
and
job
studies
that
increased
hourly
rates
for
small
departments
changes
in
just
benefit
selection,
can
have
a
huge
impact
on
their
overall
Personnel
budget
as
well,
so
we're
seeing
comparing
24
CSL
with
the
23
CSL
5.7
percent
growth
or
if
you
just
look
at
the
2024
plan,
so
what
you
all
saw
in
December
for
2024
what
the
Personnel
CSL
is
2.3
percent
higher
than
that
amount.
E
E
E
It's
also
where
our
Actuarial
reports
come
into
play
and
then
just
general
CSL
maintenance,
so
to
provide
the
same
current
service
level.
Sometimes
the
the
costs
are
increasing,
yeah,
okay,
so
the
mayor
is
recommending
48.4
million
dollars
in
new
Investments.
Most
of
that
is
in
the
general
fund.
So
you're
going
to
hear
about
all
of
these
proposals
from
Individual
departments
as
they
come
before
you
for
each
proposal,
departments
were
asked
to
tie
the
work
to
a
city
priority.
E
So
we
looked
at
the
mayor's
priorities
as
well
as
the
council
adopted
s
reap
goals
to
sort
of
create
the
five
priorities.
We
always
ask
for
racial
Equity
impacts,
and
we
ask
for
anticipated
performance
information
again
want
to
refer
people
to
that
performance
and
Investments
By
Priority
section
of
the
financial
overview.
If
you're
trying
to
just
get
a
broad
sense
of
you
know,
what's
the
city
doing
this
year
for
affordable
housing,
that's
a
great
place.
E
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
schedule
five.
So
this
is
the
Staffing
information
and
we
have
added
some
detail
to
it
this
year.
So
just
wanted
to
talk
through
a
little
bit
of
that
and
I
know.
Cherkovsky
is
really
committed
to
making
sure
that
the
personal
information
is
is
clear,
council's
full
understanding
of
those
changes,
so
we've
advised
departments
to
be
ready
to
speak
to
any
Personnel
changes,
so
they
should
be.
They
should
be
prepared
for
your
questions
when
they
come
before
you.
E
So,
as
you
can
see,
there's
an
increase
from
the
2023
adopted
budget
number
of
ftes
to
2024.
and
those
sub
bullets.
You
can
see
what
that
cost
impact
is
so
we're
going
from
485
million
dollars
in
2023
Workforce
budgeted
costs
to
528
million
in
the
2024
personal
budget,
so
that
is
due
to
budget
proposals,
yes,
and
also
to
corrections
to
the
personal
budget.
E
Increased
rates
of
pay
for
many
many
of
the
unions
and
for
some
of
the
the
job,
the
position
titles,
our
schedule,
5
does
not
include
arpa
or
temporary
positions,
but
it
does
give
you
a
good
overall
understanding
of
what
the
personal
changes
are
by
department.
So
this
year
we
also
added
more
information
to
schedule
five,
so
that
you
can
see
the
standard
schedule
five
by
Department.
We
also
added
in
the
breakdown
between
the
general
fund
and
the
special
Revenue
funds.
E
So
if
you
want
to
see
you
know
how
many
positions
within
a
department
are
paid
for
by
grants,
that
information
is
a
little
bit
easier
to
access
now,
so
FTE
counts
typically
do
change
by
budget
proposal.
There
is
another
mechanism
within
Financial
policies
for
those
to
change.
So
once
a
year,
the
budget
team
works
with
departments
and
with
HR
to
clean
up
the
personal
roster.
So
we
understand
how
to
budget
accurately
for
their
personnel.
E
So
an
example
of
that
from
one
of
the
Departments
I
support
neighborhood
safety.
Previously
they
had
a
position
that
was
split:
50
50
between
the
general
fund
and
the
grant
fund
that
Grant
had
gone
away,
but
they
wanted
to
maintain
the
position
so
they
reduced
their
non-personal
budget
accordingly,
so
that
there
wasn't
unwarranted
growth
in
the
general
fund.
E
E
Okay
Revenue,
so
this
is
a
1.8
billion
dollar
Revenue
budget
budget.
57.8
million
of
those
revenues
are
accumulated
fund
balance.
The
rest
is
new
money
flowing
into
the
city
via
property
taxes,
charges
for
services
and
sales,
LGA
bonds
and
the
like.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
different
Revenue
sources
in
the
city.
We
try
very
hard
to
Accurate
to
estimate
those
accurately
year
to
year.
I
think
we're
getting
better.
Every
time
we
have
some
new
Revenue
sources
this
year
and
a
few
that
we're
still
waiting
to
hear
about
from
the
state.
E
E
and
in
Prior
years
we
were
certainly
sustained
by
the
cares
act
and
by
arpa,
and
we
are
we're
well
positioned
to
handle
our
expenses
going
forward
as
those
sources
go
away
so
moving
into
the
property
taxes,
which
are
obviously
a
key
part
of
our
Revenue
picture.
E
property
taxes.
Of
course,
don't
just
increase
across
the
board
by
6.2
percent.
It
really
depends
on
the
makeup
of
the
commercial
and
residential
markets.
So
even
if
we
had
a
zero
percent
property
tax
levy,
most
single-family
home
owners
would
still
see
an
increase
29
about
for
the
median
home
homeowner.
E
Even
if
we
were
not
raising
that
Levy,
so
we're
estimating
that
it'll
be
between
150
and
160
annually.
For
this
6.2
percent
Levy
for
a
median
home
value
and
then
I
do
want
to
encourage
folks
to
check
out
the
levy
impact
estimator
that
the
city
assessing
Department
puts
together.
It's
a
really
useful
tool
as
you're
trying
to
understand
what
the
impact
is
by
Ward
by
residential
versus
commercial
and
the
like.
So
this
next
slide
actually
is
just
a
screenshot
from
there
to
show
you
an
example.
E
So
in
this
example,
we
plugged
in
6.5,
because
it's
on
the
0.5
increments,
6.5
Levy
change,
we're
looking
at
Citywide
residential
impact.
So
you
can
see
the
darker
green
means
that
you
know
that
Ward
is
feeling
the
effect
a
little
bit
more
acutely,
and
then
it
shows
you
the
various
percentiles
what
the
impact
would
be.
E
E
So,
property
taxes
support
many
basic
government
functions
and
this
is
a
breakdown
of
about
how
those
property
taxes
get
distributed.
So
General
government
service
is,
is
the
top
one
followed
by
police
and
by
parks.
I
think.
The
notable
change
on
here
is
that
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
is
now
part
of
this.
Due
to
the
levy
agreement
that
was
worked
out
this
year.
E
E
This
plan
also
shows
the
negotiated
deal
to
cover
some
more
Parkway
Paving
that
the
city
and
the
park
board
worked
out
this
year.
The
next
two
lines
are
related
to
our
Capital
program,
so
Bond
Redemption
and
permanent
Improvement.
Our
debt
and
Investments
team
has
done
a
really
amazing
job,
paying
down
our
debt
early
and
earning
interest,
and
so
that
all
shows
up
in
these
two
lines:
pensions
and
teachers-
retirements-
we
reduced
those
last
year,
so
that
we
could
use
accumulated
fund
balance.
E
We
want
to
be
careful,
we're
not
over
collecting,
so
we're
continuing
that
Trend
this
year,
we're
still
certainly
able
to
meet
all
of
our
requirements
there
and
then
NBC
and
bet
also
have
some
accumulated
fund
balance.
So
that's
why
you're
seeing
moderate
to
no
growth
in
those
areas
and,
of
course
the
the
mpha
5
million
ongoing,
is
the
notable
new
addition
here.
E
E
E
Things
are
not
totally
recovering
in
the
same
way
that
they
were
prior
to
the
pandemic,
but
we
are
seeing
overall
growth,
which
is
really
positive,
so
we
continue
to
to
look
for
that
year
to
year
and
then
local
government
Aid
is
another
large
source
of
revenue
for
the
city.
It's
an
unrestricted
use,
so
it
flows
into
the
general
fund
and
is
sustains
our
our
operations.
We
share
our
total
LGA
amount
with
parks
and
with
the
municipal
building
commission.
E
E
We
have
some
new
Revenue
sources
this
year,
so
Public
Safety
Aid
is
a
one-time,
19
million
dollar
award
from
the
state.
We
have
that
booked
in
the
human
resources
department
right
now,
as
it's
going
to
likely
go
to
some
recruitment
retention
activities
in
the
public
safety
part
of
the
budget.
E
E
But
it's
an
exciting
10
million
dollar
effort
to
address
climate
change
locally
and
then
once
again
want
to
encourage
folks
to
look
at
our
new
Grant
section
of
the
budget
book,
and
this
is
also
where
you'll
see
discussion
of
state
and
federal
sources
that
we're
considering
applying
for-
and
you
know,
other
state
revenue
sources
that
we
didn't
have
good
estimates
for
so
they're
not
yet
included
in
the
budget.
But
we
are
anticipating
them.
So
there's
a
lot
of
good
information.
There.
E
In
order
to
do
that,
so
you
will
hear
from
all
of
them
today
about
what
that
what
those
dollars
are
going
to
support
and
you'll
also
hear
about
the
obligated
fund
balance
that
Finance
is
using
to
sort
of
maintain
some
one-time
or
emergent
resources
for
costs.
That
you
know
are
not
totally
clear
yet.
This
also
gives
us
some
cushion
if
the
doj
consent
decree
comes
comes
our
way
next
summer.
We'll
have
some
room
to
address
that.
E
We
know
that
mdhr
had
some
some
tight
timelines
for
us
to
meet,
so
the
obligated
fund
balance
is
meant
to
help
address
that
okay
and
we're
we're
getting
close
to
the
end
here.
So
the
transparency
portal
is
again.
We
think
a
really
important
part
of
of
this
interactive
budget
book,
so
I
just
wanted.
To
give
an
example
from
from
my
portfolio
of
a
frequently
Asked
question:
what
is
MPD
overtime?
What's
the
mayor
recommending
what
did
spending
used
to
be?
E
So
when
folks
are
in
there,
I
think
it
can
look
a
little
daunting.
The
left-hand
column
is
where
you
can
select
a
report,
so
I
would
recommend,
in
this
case
the
24
Mayors
recommended
financials
by
Department
report
when
folks
click
that
they
can
scroll
down
and
further
refine
by
the
type
if
you're
looking
for
an
expense
if
you're
looking
for
a
department,
if
you
want
to
select
salaries
and
wages
to
get
at
that
overtime
cost,
and
you
can
also
select
the
fund
and
it'll,
give
you
two
actual
years
of
spending.
E
So
what
did
we
actually
spend
in
2021
and
22
and
then
what
did
we
budget
for
the
current
year?
What
are
we
budgeting
for
next
year,
and
once
you
find
whatever
view
you're
interested
in,
you
can
share
that
with
your
colleagues
and
Friends
by
Just
copying
and
pasting
the
URL
at
the
top
of
your
screen
or
hitting
that
share
button
on
the
screen.
You
can
download
the
image
you
can
download
a
spreadsheet
it'll
link,
an
email
for
for
you
to
easily
share
out.
E
So
this
is
something
that's
I
think
has
gotten
more
and
more
use
and
we're
always
happy
to
see
it
popping
up
on
social
media,
not
that
we
check
and
just
I'll
wrap
up
here
with
a
little
bit
on
the
markup
process
as
it
relates
to
the
budget
division.
E
So
we
like
to
serve
as
the
information
hub
for
for
the
Enterprise
throughout
the
year
we
work
with
departments
and
with
electives
to
help
you
all
understand
what
your
options
are
and
that
that's
no
different
during
markup,
so
we've
shared
with
the
chair,
the
budget
proposal
form,
which
is
the
same
thing
that
departments
had
to
do,
had
to
use
to
propose
new
spending
in
2024.
E
So
we
hope
that
can
help
sort
of
guide
your
efforts
to
formulate
your
amendments
and
that'll
also
help
us
publish
the
budget
books
sooner
after
adoption
and
just
a
reminder
that
that
we
know
a
lot
of
things
in
the
budget
office,
but
we're
not
the
subject
matter.
Experts
on
programmatic
impacts,
so
we
would
love
to
help
you
answer
questions
about
you
know
what
does
it
mean
to
move
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
this
department
to
this
department
that
might
require
us?
E
You
know
working
with
those
department
heads
to
really
get
at
the
the
programmatic
impact,
the
more
specific
questions
you
can
send
us,
the
the
quicker
and
better
we
can
respond,
and
with
that
I
will
wrap
up.
I
know.
Cherkovsky's
already
circulated
a
detailed
plan
for
markup.
We
are
looking
forward
to
the
first
public
hearing
late
in
October
and
with
that
I
can
stop
and
stand
for
questions.
A
J
Thank
you
trekowski.
You
might
have
gone
through
this
through
a
series
of
slides
but
I'm
just
trying
to
keep
it
top
of
Mind
back
in
2020.
We,
through
our
audit
work
plan
out
the
window
a
couple
of
times
once
because
of
covid,
because
what's
important
now
had
changed
significantly
seemingly
overnight
and
second,
the
second
time
was
after
the
murder
of
George
Floyd.
In
terms
of
how
could
that
function?
J
That
includes
city
council
really
have
an
impact
there,
but
it
was
to
be
responsive
to
our
current
environments
and
I.
Think
I
think
that
really
did
help
set
up
our
departments
for
expense
tracking
in
a
way
that
arpa
now
allows
for
reimbursement.
Can
you
help
us
see
the
big
picture
of
that
on
your
accomplishment
slide?
You
listed
the
amount
of
money
that
has
already
been
reimbursed.
J
Our
total
potential
allocation
was
it
went
through
an
arduous
process.
Council
members,
Johnson
and
Ellison
and
I
were
part
of
that
effort.
Can
you
remind
us
what
our
total
potential
allocation
was,
and
are
you
confident
that
we
will
still
be
able
to
get
reimbursed
for
the
rest
of
it?
J
I
ask
because
well
because
I
want
every
penny,
but
because
our
city
really
needs
we
worked
hard
to
come
to
consensus
about
what
would
be
allocated
where
and
and
we
really
need
and
plan
for
that
money
as
to
how
to
move
our
city
forward
I'm
also.
So
the
first
question
is
like:
what's
the
Delta
between
what
we
originally
were
working
with,
because
I
don't
remember
that
number
off
the
top
of
my
head
from
three
years
ago:
I'm
guessing
they
don't
either
versus
what
you
had
on
that
slide
and
then.
J
Secondly,
when
do
they
have
to
be
spent
by
or
reimbursed
by,
that,
actually
might
be
three
questions.
What's
the
Delta,
when
does
arpa
money
have
to
be
spent
by
and
then
how
long
do
we
get
to
fully
get
reimbursed
for
it.
E
Again
from
the
feds
for
arpa,
so
that's
in
the
bank.
What
we're
trying
to
avoid
is
having
to
turn
that
money
back.
If
we
don't
spend
it
so
I
can
work
with
the
team
to
get
you
a
total
of,
what's
actually
already
been
expended,
there's
still
money
that
we
need
to
get
out
the
door.
The
timeline
for
that
we're
working
on
a
memo
internally
in
finance
to
lay
out
what
the
rollover
process
will
be,
and
how
can
we
work
with
departments
to
be
very
clear
about
what
you
have
left
and
how
to
spend
it?
E
But
there
are
also
you
know:
there's
a
need
for
accounting
to
have
time
to
close
out
all
of
those
funds,
so
we're
targeting
wrapping
up
a
lot
of
that
spending
by
by
fourth
quarter
of
next
year.
So
there's
a
lot
to
do
still
in
the
next.
In
the
next
year
we
were
going
to
have
a
stricter
rollover
process.
So
if
you
know
a
department
has
a
project,
you
know
these
were
three
years
ago.
We
came
up
with
a
lot
of
these
ideas.
E
If
it's
no
longer
relevant
or
the
person
who
championed
it
is
no
longer
in
place.
Maybe
things
do
need
to
shift
to
another
priority
within
the
department,
so
we're
going
to
run
a
process
that
we
understand
where
those
gaps
are
because
we
we
do
want
to
spend
that
money.
It's
obviously
all
intended
for
really
good
uses.
So
yeah.
J
J
Have
some
discussion
at
Agenda
setting
Pam
Fernandez
goes
through
here's.
What
we
did
but
I
want
to
point
out.
Those
were
very
careful
and
you
know
voted
on
decisions
that
we
made
three
years
ago
as
a
council
three
years
ago.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
on
that.
A
Thank
you
next
councilmember
onesie
thank.
C
You
chairkovski
actually
I
have
a
question
that
builds
upon
Council.
Vice
president
palmisano's
inquiry
around
Harper
dollars,
it's
good
to
hear
that
there
is
a
memo,
that's
going
to
be
developed
or
there's
a
breakdown
of
some
analysis
of
how
these
dollars
are
being
allocated.
One
point
that
I
would
like
to
see
be
included
in
that
analysis
is
specifically
how
much
was
allocated
to
departments.
C
That's
handling,
different
components
around
our
homelessness,
Outreach
I
believe
we're
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
think
right
now,
C
pad
and
Rec
services,
so
I
know
it's
been
a
multi-department
response
and
then,
in
addition
to
those
arpa
dollars
that
were
allocated,
how
did
that
support
any
existing
operating
dollars?
For
those
programs,
I
know
I've
spoken
with
staff,
and
they
mentioned
there
were
some
existing
dollars,
for
instance,
for
with
cped
the
homeless.
C
No,
the
office
of
homelessness,
I
believe
and
I
wasn't
aware
that
there
was
existing
dollars
or
operating
kind
of
budget
item
for
that
I
thought.
Arpa
was
kind
of
the
main
supporter
of
that.
So
that's
it'll
be
good
to
have
Clarity
on
that.
So
I
just
want
to
to
include
that
point.
C
Other
lines
of
questions
men-
you
mentioned
the
challenges
around
currently
our
vacancies.
Do
we
have
a
sense
of
our
current
vacancy
status
right
now,
I
know:
we've
gotten
updates
on
that
throughout
the
year,
but
would
like
to
know
kind
of
where
are
we
as
of
date,.
E
E
You
know:
what's
our
authorized
ft
account
for
this
year,
what's
the
recommended
for
next
year
and
what
are
the
current
vacancies,
so
we
hope
to
have
that
spelled
up
very
very
clearly
for
each
department
and
I
think
we
could
work
with
HR
to
try
and
get
you
a
like
an
overall
number
for
the
entire
Enterprise.
That's
what
you
want.
C
C
Is
there
any
factors,
because
I
saw
from
your
slide
that
there's
been
an
increase
in
contractual
Services?
It
seems
for
this
next
year
and
went
to
see
if
there
were
any
factors.
That's
contributing
to
that.
Speaking
of
like
the
vacancy
rates,
is
that
one
of
the
ways
in
which
we're
trying
to
accomplish
say
for
staff
leaving,
but
just
would
love
to
hear
if
staff
had
some
kind
of
understanding
of
why
we're
transitioning
into
paying
more
into
contractual
services
that
can
be
more
costly
versus
if
we
handle
things
in-house.
E
Chairkowsky,
council,
member
wansley
I
think
there's
probably
a
lot
of
different
factors.
Varying
Department
to
Department
contractual
Services
can
mean
a
lot
of
different
things.
It
can
mean
you
know
the
audit
group
working
with
a
more
specialized
entity
to
investigate
some
like
highly
technical
subject
area.
It
can
also
mean
a
contract
that
we've
had
with
a
non-profit-
that's
maybe
growing,
for
whatever
reason
so
I
think
I
think
to
speak
on.
E
Like
the
macro
level,
it's
a
little
bit
tricky,
but
in
cases
where
we
have
departments
that
are
you
know
seeing
that
strain
of
not
having
not
being
able
to
hire
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
think
HR
has
used
contractual
services
to
to
improve
their
hiring
over
the
past,
improve
their
hiring
timelines
over
the
past
year.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
different
reasons
for
it.
C
C
Okay,
okay,
so
do
we
know
if
our
igr
department?
This
might
be
another
follow-up
if
they
are
pursuing
to
advance
that
legislation
again
with
Ally
lawmakers?
Okay,
it
sounds
like
igr
director
is
like
on
board
for
that,
because
I
yeah
so
really
good
to
know
I
will
say
also
just
for
the
body.
It
was
really
good
to
see
on
slide
16
of
basically
like
what
our
property
taxes
are
currently
covering.
C
Right
now
and
I
know
this
really
segues
nicely
into
the
afternoon's
presentation
around
settlement
agreements,
but
it
was
very
disheartening
to
see
that
most
of
the
increase
that
our
taxpayers
are
going
to
have
to
absorb
is
going
to
be
for
police,
largely
that
is
the
second
most
costly
figure.
Next
to
government
services
and
very
yeah.
There's
lots
of
conversations
to
be
had
around.
C
How
are
we
identified
buying
other
funding
sources
or
existing
funding
sources
to
make
sure
that
constituents
don't
have
to
keep
paying
for
the
misconduct
that's
being
welded
by
one
department,
so
that
was
very
disheartening
to
see
but
love
the
transparency
of
saying
this
is
actually
what
your
Levy
dollars
are
going
towards,
because
I
know
our
constituents
are
like
it's
150,
some
dollar
increase
what
what
am
I
paying
for.
So
this
was
a
really
good
breakdown
to
be
able
to
share
with
our
constituents,
at
least
so.
A
Welcome,
thank
you.
I
put
myself
in
queue
unless,
and
somebody
else
has
a
question.
I
have
several
questions
so
please
hold
tight
here
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
go
and
order
with
slides,
so
a
slides
or
slide
10.
You
talked
a
little
bit.
This
is
about
the
current
service
level,
and
you
mentioned
things
that
were
slated
to
start
in
2024
are
included
in
the
current
service
level.
Can
you
elaborate
on
what
things
that
were
slated
to
start
in
2024?
A
What
that
means
sure
like
were
the
recommended
2024
budget
proposals
that
were
shared
you
know,
were
they
in
the
mayor's
recommended
2023-24
last
year,
included
as
part
of
this,
or
are
we
going
to
see
them
included
in
budget
proposals?
On
top
of
that?
Does
that
make
sense?
Yes,.
E
Chairkowski,
thank
you
for
question.
So
the
answer
is,
is
yes
a
bit
of
both,
so
there
were
a
few
departments
who
have
items
that
were
considered
in
the
biennial
budget,
but
with
a
year
DeLay,
So
neighborhood
safety
is
one
that
sticks
out
in
my
mind,
so
they
had
a
lot
of
arpa
dollars
supporting
their
operations.
We
had
a
plan
to
transition.
Those
onto
the
general
fund
as
arpa
concludes
in
2020
2024,
so
they
have
about
I,
think
3.7
million
dollars
of
new
general
fund.
That
is
slated
to
start
in
2024..
E
E
We
have
included
the
narratives
from
those
in
the
budget
book
again
just
to
be
clear
about,
what's
being
included,
they'll
look
a
little
different
than
the
new
budget
proposals
which
have
a
financial
table
calling
out
the
expenses,
but
we
did
want
to
to
keep
those
narratives
in
place.
So
that
it
was
clear
to
everybody
what
was
driving
those
increases.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
That's
helpful,
then,
going
on
to
slide
11
and
of
following
up
a
little
bit
on
Cosmo
rawansi's
question
about
contractual
Services,
and
you
did
give
some
examples.
That
was
one
of
my
questions
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
another
place
where
we
can
kind
of
see
more
detail,
drilled
down
information
about
contractual
services
and
where
we
could
maybe
find
that.
E
So
we
could
definitely
using
the
the
online
budget
book.
We
could
definitely
create
some
views
that
show,
especially
as
it
relates
to
new
Investments.
We
can
filter
for
new
Investments
and
show
that
spending
by
categories
that
you
can
see
where
those
contractual
Services
dollars
are
are
coming
in
who's
using
them.
E
If
that
would
be
helpful,
we
can
definitely
circulate
that
to
the
council.
Yeah.
A
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
since
it
does
make
up.
You
know
a
little
over
50
percent
of
the
new
Investments
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
a
broader
understanding
of
where
those
are
coming
from
and
then
on
to
slide.
12.
There
was
a
line
here
that
says:
FTE
counts,
can
change
via
budget
proposals
or
be
reduced
or
by
reducing
non-personnel
budget
and
submitting
a
memo.
A
I
am
I.
I
think
that
this
was
a
a
change
to
our
financial
policies.
This
year,
if
I,
correct,
okay,
so
I'm
just
wondering
how
many
memos
have
been
submitted
to
the
finance
office
year-to-date
for
this
new
process
in
the
method.
E
Chairkowski,
it's
a
good
question.
I,
don't
have
the
total
off
the
top
of
my
head.
It
was
not
not
a
radical
amount.
I
gave
the
example
of
neighborhood
safety.
Doing
a
little
bit
of
cleanup
with
I
think
was
a
sort
of
a
Vestige.
Also
the
government
restructure.
I
know
the
health
department
did
a
memo
process
to
more
accurately
budget
for
a
lot
of
their
long-term
Grant
funded
employees,
which
had
sort
of
not
been
part
of
the
budget
system
beforehand.
E
So
that
was
one
memo
that
accounted
for
a
lot
of
ftes
moving
on
to
their
personnel
budget.
We
could
get
you
the
total
count
of
memos
if
that
would
be
helpful.
Yeah.
A
And
just
I
guess:
I'm
curious
how
it's
tracked
you.
It
sounds
like
there's
some
way
that
you
guys
are
tracking
this,
and
maybe,
if
there's
a
process
in
which
we
can
you
know
have
this
communicated
to
this
committee.
We
can
work
on
that
together.
E
Chairkovsky,
that's
that's
a
great
idea.
We
can
work
on
that.
I
think
you
know.
A
lot
of
this
was
happening.
We
we
get
kind
of
once
one
point
in
the
year
in
the
spring,
usually
around
March,
where
we
start
this
FTE
cleanup
process
and
that's
often
when
these
memos
are
being
written,
and
so
by
the
time
it
comes
to
you
all
in
May
for
that
CSL
presentation.
For
the
most
part,
all
those
changes
are
represented
in
that
CSL
presentation,
but
we
can
work
together
to
figure
out
how
to
make
that
more
transparent.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
because
do
you
know
if
any
submissions
have
been
denied
and
if
so,
why
would
they
be
denied.
E
I,
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head
that
any
have
been
denied,
I,
think
I,
think
departments,
you
know
broadly
have
authority
at
the
fund
and
Department
level,
and
so
I
I
don't
know
of
a
situation
where
a
department
would
be.
You
know
offering
a
cut
in
one
area
of
their
budget
to
move
funds
to
another
and
we
would
decline
it.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
next
one
I
have
is
on
slide
16,
the
property
taxes.
Could
you
just
dig
a
Little
Deeper
for
us
and
help
us
understand
what
is
in
the
general
government
services?
What
that
includes.
E
I
think
that
is
a
so.
This
is
sort
of
a
framework
of
explaining
the
property
taxes.
That's
been
around
for
a
long
time.
I
think
it's
a
the
way
to
think
about.
It
is
all
the
other
departments
whose
work
is
really
important,
but
doesn't
stand
alone
in
the
same
way
that
police
and
fire
and
Public
Works
does
so
you
know
the
work
of
the
work
of
Finance,
the
work
of
HR.
The
work
of
our
City
attorney
are
all
important
to
running
the
city
but
they're,
not
necessarily
as
distinct
for
the
average
resident
of
Minneapolis.
E
So
it's
it's
sort
of
an
attempt
to
capture
all
of
that
and.
A
Is
there
a
way
to
be
able
to
see
that
visually?
What's
in
there?
I
just
note
from
you
know,
just
doing
a
little
digging
that
from
2011
to
2024
you
know
the
that
General
government
services
that
was
around
11
and
now
we
are
at
about
almost
30
percent
and
so
curious
to
know
what
you
have
seen
you
know.
A
What's
the
source
of
that
growth
I
mean
to
also
council
member
one's
least
Point,
you
know,
police
in
2011
was
21
and
now
it's
about
21,
but
our
general
government
services
has
significant
increased
and
so
I
think
to
have
this
body
understand
what
the
source
is
and
see
that
growth
visually
would
be
helpful.
E
Sure,
charakowski,
so
I
think
the
city's
the
city
has
has
tasked
itself
with
a
lot
of
new
policy
areas,
also
in
the
in
the
past
five
years,
especially
so
we
just
have.
We
have
a
larger
Enterprise
than
we
did
in
2011..
E
You
know:
bodies
of
work
like
violence
prevention
didn't
exist
at
that
time
and
now
that
work
would
be
rolling
up
into
this
General
government
service
category.
The
way
we
come
up
with
this
sort
of
distribution
of
costs
is
just
looking
at
that
1952
and
considering
the
percent
of
the
budget
that
that
each
you
know
Department
sort
of
speaks
for
that
that
is
covered.
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
think
this
is
my
last
question,
but
on
slide
20
you
are
noting
some
notable
Revenue
sources:
the
public
safety
Aid,
the
sales
tax
revenue
here,
I'm
just
wondering.
A
E
So
when
Human
Resources
comes
to
speak
to
you,
you'll
hear
about
that
Public
Safety
Aid,
it's
something
that
they're
working
on
with
labor
negotiations,
so
I
think
I'll
leave
it
up
to
to
HR
and
and
the
attorney
to
sort
of
cover
that
area.
But
you
will
hear
about
it
there
as
that's
where
the
spending
is
booked
and
you're
going
to
hear
I
think
largely
with
cped
about
affordable
housing
efforts.
E
C
You
chair
Koski,
actually
you
raise
the
question
that
I
want
to
follow
up
on
which
was
breaking
down
somewhat.
The
vagueness
of
what
general
government
services
entails.
I
had
the
assumption
that
maybe
that
was
just
another
way
to
reframe
our
current
service
levels,
but
it
would
be
good,
as
you
requested,
to
have
a
breakdown
of
what
does
that
actually
mean
and
I
can
imagine.
C
Maybe
current
service
levels
is
factor
into
some
of
that,
like
the
wages
and
the
programs
that
we're
doing
and
have
been
doing
for
quite
some
time
how
that
factors
into
you
know
General
services
that
our
constituents
are
receiving,
or
that
just
has
to
happen
as
an
Enterprise
kind
of
thing,
so
it'd
be
good
to
have
a
breakdown
of
what
that
means
as
well.
C
So
thank
you
for
flagging
that
also
you
did
flag
the
notable
new
Revenue
sources
to
I
didn't
see,
though
I
did
see
in
the
slide
where
it
was
factored
into
local
government
Aid
and
getting
a
greater
sense
of
you
know
those
dollars
also.
Some
of
the
grants
pieces
too,
which
thank
you
for
including
NASA
reference
section
for
the
the
budget
book,
but
I
know
you
mentioned
HR
for
the
public
safety
Aid.
C
Will
there
also
be
a
presentation
from
OCS
or
MPD,
because
I've
also
heard
that
some
of
these
dollars
will
likely
go
towards
settlement
agreement?
Conversations
right
now,
so
it's
interesting
that
you
raised
like
HR.
Do
we
know
other
departments
that
we
could
follow
up
with
to
talk
about
the
public
safety
Aid
component?
Since
that
is
one
time
dollars.
D
E
Why
it's
housed
we,
we
sort
of
tasked
it
to
Labor
Relations,
to
figure
out
a
good
way
to
spend
those
dollars,
as
the
intention
is
really
to
to
bolster
hiring
and
retention,
and
so
leaving
it
to
those
subject
matter:
experts
to
sort
of
figure
out
what
the
best
way
of
spending
those
dollars
is.
Okay,.
C
A
My
colleagues
I
want
to
note
that
customer
Ellison
has
joined
us
and
so
as
well
and
then
also
to
the
clerk
I
will
direct
them
to
receive
and
file
the
mayor's
2024
recommended
budget,
as
well
as
the
overview
provided
by
staff.
So
thank
you
so
much
I
see
many
of
our
staff
here
today.
So
just
want
to
give
you
all
a
huge
shout
out
and
appreciation
for
all
the
hard
work
that
has
been
put
into
this
and
for
the
presentation
today
and
for
all.
A
We
know
the
continued
work
we
will
have
together.
This
fall
so
before
we
adjourn
today,
I'd
like
to
just
take
this
opportunity
to
review
for
both
the
public
and
my
colleagues
the
anticipated
timeline
in
which
we
will
work
to
complete
the
city's
2024
budget.
The
Next
Step
will
be
to
receive
presentations
drilling
down
into
the
details
of
each
Department's
proposed
budget.
We
will
begin
those
presentations
at
our
next
meeting,
which
is
this
afternoon
at
1
30,
where
we
will
dig
into
the
budget's
implications
of
the
implementation
of
the
mdhr
and
doj
consent.
A
Decrees,
departmental
presentations
will
continue
through
the
month
of
October
and
council.
Members
will
have
have
already
received
invites
for
all
these
meetings
and
the
meetings
have
all
been
noticed
for
the
public
in
limbs.
The
this
committee
has
also
scheduled
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
budget
on
Wednesday
November
1st
at
10
A.M.
This
is
in
addition
to
two
public
hearings
that
will
be
held
at
meetings
of
the
city
council
on
Wednesday,
October,
25th
and
Tuesday
at
December
5th.
A
Both
of
those
are
at
605
and
finally,
I'll
note
that
we
will
consider
amendments
to
the
mayor's
recommended
budget
at
our
meetings
on
November
30th
and
then,
if
needed,
on
December
1st.
These
revisions
will
be
forwarded
to
the
city
council
for
final
consideration
at
our
last
public
hearing
on
December
5th,
again
at
605.,
as
I
mentioned,
the
entire
schedule
is
published
on
the
calendar
that
is
proposed
and
posted
in
limbs.
Are
there
any
questions
from
my
colleagues
without
any
further
discussion?
A
We've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
and
we
have
another
meeting
again
scheduled
at
1,
30
and
I
will,
without
objection,
stand
to
adjourn.
