A
All
right
at
102,
I
am
calling
the
third
day
of
our
budget
hearings
to
order,
and
it
is
what's
the
date
it
is
april.
14Th
2022.
Can
we
get
a
roll
call
vote?
Please.
A
She's
excused,
thank
you.
Sorry.
A
A
We
have
not
had
the
information
that
we
need
that
the
committee
requested-
and
we
also
I
have
learned-
have
a
hard
stop
at
four
because
of
other
city
committees
that
the
council
members
are
on.
This
committee
are
involved
in.
So
if
we
could
get
a
motion
to
move
that
committee
community
engagement
budget
to
next
week,
then
we
can
improve
the
agenda
as
it's
presented
here.
C
A
You
know,
I
think
it's
it's
just
raw
data
and
they
were
putting
it
together
in
a
memo
to
to
share-
and
you
know,
there's
been-
we
had
the
council
meeting
last
night
and
then
the
graduation
this
morning,
and
I
think
it's
just
we
just
and
and
we
have
a
hard
stop
at
four
o'clock,
so
I
think
it
would
be
better
if
we
take
the
time
we
need
get,
and
I
I
think
we
can
get
that
memo
you
know
by
later
today
or
tomorrow,
so
that
we'll
have
it
and
be
able
to
look
at
it.
A
Yeah,
I'd
prefer
not
to
put
it
to
the
parking
lot.
I
I'd
love
to
see
if
we
can
find
space
to
do
it
in
the
you
know,
some
sometime
in
the
next
three
meetings
and
if
we
could
kind
of
if
it's
okay
with
the
committee
I'd
like
to
leave
it
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
flexible,
I
mean
we'll
take
it.
I
will
take
it
up
either
tuesday,
wednesday
or
thursday.
F
Week,
yes,
councilwoman
vrael.
Thank
you
madam
chair.
I
just
I
would
like
to
suggest
also
or
make
sure
that,
when
we're
following
the
schedule
for
next
week
that
those
are
those
departments
that
are
already
scheduled
that
this
makeup
session
goes
after
there
yeah
scheduled
event.
A
Yeah,
I
agree.
Thank
you
other
other
thoughts
questions.
All
right.
Can
we
get
a
roll
call
on
moving
community
engagement
to
next
week.
A
All
right,
so
then,
the
agenda
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
today
is,
as
it
is
in
prime
gov,
to
hear
the
municipal
court
itt
human
resources
and
finance,
and
in
that
order,
if
we
could
get
a
motion
to
approve
this
agenda,
move
to
approve
second
motion
in
a
second:
is
there
any
discussion
on
approval
of
the
agenda?
A
Okay,
so
we
are
now
on
to
our
first
budget
of
the
day,
the
municipal
court,
and
we
have
judge
v
hill
with
us
and
I
believe,
we're
just
gonna
hand
it
over
to
you,
oh
and
and
well
I'll.
Let
I'll
have
the
judge
introduce
her
team,
that's
joining!
G
Madam
chair,
I
have
my
champions
to
the
left
and
to
the
right,
though
I
can't
see
him
right
now,
but
jackie
bacca
has
been
working
very
closely
with
finance
on
this
budget
and
to
the
other
side
of
me
is
chad,
chittim
court
administrator.
Also
pro
pro-tem
judge
here
we're
both
here
available
to
answer
any
of
the
questions
that
you
might
have.
There
is
a
difference
in
our
requests
from
pre-code
times.
G
You
probably
are
able
to
tell
that
there
is
an
increase
of
475
thousand
dollars
and
I
think
highlighted
in
that
are
a
couple
of
budget
items
that
we
gave
up
on
and
that
was
the
dui
drug
court
and
streamlining
the
treatment
component
to
that
most
of
the
ui
drug
court.
Folks
right
now
are
getting
their
own
treatment
and
and
doing
all
the
other
requirements
of
their
judgment
and
sentence.
G
However,
there
are
some
who
do
not
have
insurance,
who
others
only
speak.
Spanish.
It's
it's
been
difficult
to
get
the
treatment
component
in
there,
since
we
lost
the
opportunity
to
streamline
through
a
single
source
provider.
For
that,
so
we
included
the
70
000
that
wasn't
there
in
the
previous
year
to
work
with
that
to
try
to
get
that
piece
into
the
dui
drug
court.
It's
a
critical
piece
of
it.
G
Also
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
landscaping
is
something
that
I
hope
you
all
received
the
article
that
was
in
the
reporter
when
I
first
came
on
board
and
how
they
talked
about
our
landscape
facility.
I
have
been
trying
to
get
this
court
landscape
since
I
got
here
and
there's
another
another
photo.
I
think
that
we
sent
to
you.
I
hope
you
all
received
it.
G
There's
a
healing
garden,
that's
supposed
to
be
occurring
in
the
front
of
the
courthouse
and
that
hasn't
been
utilized
at
all
and
we're
trying
to
to
really
improve
the
landscaping
so
that
people
who
come
to
court
don't
feel
they're
coming
only
for
a
punitive,
but
for
a
purpose
of
actually
rehabilitation,
which
is
a
a
huge
component
that
has
to
be
addressed
in
every
possible
way
in
all
of
our
court
systems
and
our
detention
facilities
for
that
matter.
But
those
are
the
only
two
increases
unless
miss
baca.
Do
you
have
anything
to
offer.
H
With
regard
to
other
increases,
so
the
other
items
that
were
listed
highlighted
have
actually
been
included
in
our
budget
in
previous
years.
For
instance,
the
aoc
those
are
collected
through
fines
and
fees
that
we
receive
and
they
are
passed
on
monthly
to
the
aoc,
along
with
the
home
detention,
has
been
part
of
our
program
at
municipal
court
for
some
years.
H
G
So
really
the
only
additional
increases
that
we're
asking
for
in
the
70
000
we
had
four,
we
just
gave
it
up
when
we
had
to
reduce
our
budget
and-
and
we
couldn't
provide
that
kind
of
a
service
during
covid.
The
only
other
additional
one
would
be
the
landscaping.
G
A
F
Council,
william
villarreal,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I'll,
make
this
quick.
Thank
you
all
thank
you,
judge,
v
hill,
jackie
and
chad
for
joining
us
today
and
for
your
quick
presentation.
I
just
had
to
follow
up
question.
Thank
you
for
some
of
the
clarification
on
the
dui
court
funding
and
the
interpretation
services
that
20
000
for
interpretation
was
that
specifically
just
for
the
west
law,
legal
interpretation
needs
or
were
there
other
contracts.
H
G
Actually,
what
it's
specific
for
is
for
the
electronic
monitors,
which
is
better
known
as
an
ankle
bracelet.
That
is
an
alternative
to
detention
that
we've
been
incorporating
for
quite
some
time
now.
So
those
are
free,
dui
offenders
or
other
serious
offenses
of
that
come
through
the
court
and
that
monitoring
must
occur.
F
Okay,
thank
you
and
the
other
question
I
had
was.
It
said:
funding
for
eight
percent
salary
increase
for
exempt
employees.
So
do
you
all
not
have
union
employees
you
just
have
exempt
we're
all
exempt,
got
it?
Okay!
That's
all
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
A
A
F
A
Yes,
all
right
that
budget
passes.
Thank
you
judge.
Thank
you,
ms
baca,
for
joining
us
appreciate
it
have
a
great
day.
Thank
you
all.

telecommunications
department

gonzalez

us
and
manuel.
You
may
have
other
members
of
your
team.
I
will
let
you
introduce
them
and
take
it
away.
I
Good

madam
chair
and
city
councilors,
with
with
me
today
from
administrative
operations
of
I.t
procurement
coordinator
david
tapia,.
A
Director
director,
can
I
just
hold
on
a
minute.
Yes,
there's
somebody
who's
very
zealous
in
putting
up
the
presentation
if
we
could
just
take
that
down
for
a
minute
while
we
introduce
the
team
and
then
we'll
go
to
that.
So
sorry,
you
guys
are
you
on
it.
A
I
I
David
currently
does
three
jobs
for
it:
I.t
procurement,
coordinator
contracts,
administrator
and
financial
analyst
from
infrastructure
services,
net
ops
manager,
larry
warstell
network
operations
currently
supports
two
data:
centers
45
facilities
over
40
or
over
4
000
devices,
two
radio
systems,
fourteen
hundred
radios
and
three
radio
towers
from
end
user
services.
I
have
a
eus
manager,
ej
duran
eus,
currently
supports
2000
devices,
fit
over
1500
users
from
enterprise
application
services.
I
have
stephen
santiago
there's
currently
over
100
applications
that
are
housed
in
eas
from
project
management
office.
I
I
have
the
project
manager,
office
manager,
audrey
abata.
I
I
Thank
you
team
for
joining
us,
we'll
refer
to
them.
If
we
have
any
questions,
if
needed,.
I
I
Itt's
commitment
to
the
finance
committee
at
this
time
last
year
was
that
we
would
provide
a
career
path
for
the
city
of
santa
fe
employees.
Since
that
time
we've
filled
10
positions.
Eight
of
those
have
been
city,
employees,
three
of
them
internal
to
I.t
and
five
of
them
from
other
departments.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that.
I
I
A
highlighted
bullet
here
is
a
two
million
dollars
transfer
that
two
million
dollars
is
for
the
tyler
upgrade
and
it's
it'll
come
up
in
a
later
slide
that
we
could
discuss
or
further
273
000
is
for
legacy
support
for
a
server
farm.
This
is
historical
data
that
we're
moving
off
of
that
we're
getting
into
a
cloud
or
new
servers.
We
still
have
to
keep
that
server
farm
operational
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
This
is
the
telecommunication.
Actually,
this
is
eus,
so
only
bullet
highlighted
here
is
a
position.
That's
moving
over
from
fire
to
I.t.
This
is
a
assist
admin
fire
position.
This
provides
system,
administrative
support
for
fire.
Itt
itt
has
been
doing
this
service
for
fire
for
at
least
10
years.
Now
it's
a
single
point
of
failure
by
getting
this
position,
where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
provide
team
support
and
no
longer
have
that
single
point
of
failure
next
slide,
please.
I
I
This
is
a
this
is
a
application
services.
I'm
sorry
so
what's
been
identified
here
is
2.3
million
for
software
applications.
What
this
this
is
is,
for
example,
microsoft
subscription
adobe,
the
various
applications
we
use
citywide.
I
One
item:
that's
increasing
is
our
chromeos
platform,
that's
going
to
increase
by
128
000..
What
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
upgrade
from
kronos
workforce
central
to
chrono
chronos
dimensions.
I
What
this
allows
us
to
do
is
finally
bring
over
santa
fe
fire
and
santa
fe
pd
into
the
kronos
application
and
get
them
off
manual
entry.
What
this
also
will
accomplish
will
allow
us
to
have
the
kronos
platform
communicate
with
the
munis
platform
and
get
away
from
manual
entries
done
by
payroll
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
I
The
the
newly
stood
up
project
management
office
and
here's,
where
we'll
talk,
those
two
two
million
dollars
mentioned
earlier
in
the
transfer
it
and
that's
where
the
two
milling
shows
up
here-
it's
actually
2.4
million
dollars
for
the
tyler
upgrade
now.
What
that's
going
to
be
used
for
is
to
upgrade
our
fed
munis
platform
and
our
hcm
platform
we're
10
generations
behind
right
now
the
current
version
is
setting
at
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
bring
an
implementation
team
to
to
be
the
lead
on
the
munis
upgrade.
I
We
also
have
contract
services
for
daily
operations
and
payroll
and
technical
support
and
payroll
and
daily
operation
support
in
in
in
fed
munis
next
slide.
Please
all
right
on
this
slide.
Where
did
we
go?
Okay,
you'll
find
the
bottom
line
budget
for
the
project
management
office.
On
this
slide
next
slide.
Please
can
you
go
to
slide
15,
please.
F
F
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation
director
gonzalez
and
to
see
all
your
team
on
the
screen
just
wanted
to
see.
If
you
could
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
let's
see
what
was
listed
was
the
multi-factor,
authentic
authentication.
I
So,
madam
chair
counselor
vrael
we're
strengthening
our
cyber
security
stance
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we
gotta
have
every
use
that
user
do
implement.
Multi-Factor
authentication,
so
we
have
to
buy
fobs.
So
most
of
that
cost
is
for
the
fob,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
provide
every
city
employee
with
a
fob.
So
most
of
that
is
for
the
hardware
fob
it's
a
little
device.
You'll
enter
a
pin.
I
F
So
the
increase
that
we
had
already
approved
last,
like
mid-year
budget,
I
thought
it
was
for
data
processing.
Maybe
it
wasn't
for
that.
I
was
trying
to
remember
what
we
approved
recently
and
then
there's
an
additional
amount
that
you're
requesting,
so
so
that
that.
I
Madam
chair
counselor
very
well,
that
was
for
the
cyber
security
infrastructure.
Okay,
we've
had
issues
with
cyber
security.
The
threat
has
risen
due
to
world
events,
so
we
have
to
strengthen
our
cyber
security
and
that's
what
that
was
for.
I
F
I
F
So
just
curious:
do
you
all
have
a
plan
in
place
for
the
computer
refresh
initiative
replacement?
Is
there
something
you
have
in
place
so
that
when
you
start
doing
the
the
replacements
you
have
you
already
know
what
needs
to
be
switched
out
or
like?
Is
there
a
plan?
I
guess
I'm
just
curious.
Do
you
have
to
put
a
plan
in
place
in
order
to
make
this
occur?.
I
We
have
a
a
plan
that
we
already
implemented
accounts
for
vrl,
so
I
think,
just
within
the
past
three
months
we
replaced
60
computers.
I
F
And
then
the
other
question
I
had
had
to
do
with
just
the
the
budget
that
was
in
our
budget
book.
The
overall
summary
I
believe,
yeah
it's
the
expenditure
summary
there's
a
line
item
by
category.
It
says
repairs
and
maintenance,
and
I
was
just
looking
through
the
different
iterations,
the
years
of
expenditures,
and
then
the
proposed
budget
for
this
year
is
a
hefty
increase.
But
can
you
remind
us
what
that's
for
it's
like
a.
J
F
K
I
believe
that
was
for
the
police
department
request
for
a
vehicle
uplift.
Okay,
so
thank
you
david.
So,
yes,.
I
We're
we're
in
charge
of
outfitting
the
police
units,
santa
fe
pd
is
getting
new
units,
so
we
have
to
cover
radios,
communication
devices,
laptops
lights,
decals.
We
have
to
outfit
that
that
unit.
So
that's
what
that
increases.
F
I
do
have
questions
later,
but
this
relates
to
hr
and
finance
and
how
they
fit
into
the
tyler
system
upgrade.
So
maybe
manuel
you
could
stick
around
just
in
case,
so
we
have
clear
understanding
of
their
requests
versus
what
you
all
are
requesting,
but
I'll
wait.
I
F
I
F
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
manuel.
First
on
the
the
install
of
the
pd
vehicles,
you
said
you
were
doing
radios
lights,
everything.
Is
it
the
radio
shop?
That's
doing
that?
Well,
we
paid.
I
E
I
Madam
chair
counselor
riveta
we're
we're
equipped
to
handle
any
cash
for
deliverables
assigned
to
us
on
building
out
the
units.
Okay,
thank
you.
E
And
then
you
have,
you
have
719
000
for
repair
maintenance
of
mdt
for
police
vehicles.
Those
are
for
the
existing
units.
I
M
Counselor
rivera
madam
chair
have
that
719
only
557
is
is
for
the
mobile
data
terminal
maintenance,
with
that
we
we
are
currently
covering
206
000
of
that
is
for
30
police
vehicles
and
170
of
that
thousand
within
that
719
is
for
the
cradle
points
and
antennas,
so
that
the
other
piece
for
the
the
repairs
and
maintenance
is
for
operational
costs
for
tower
costs.
Generators
ac
work
stuff
like
that
for
the
prime
sites,
okay,
but
it's
all
related.
Basically
to
that.
E
Okay,
thank
you,
aj
thanks
eg.
E
I
think
I
had
another
question,
but
I
was
having
trouble
finding
it.
Oh
that
was
it
in
your
line.
Item
detail.
You
have
services
to
other
departments.
The
proposed
budget
is,
is
13
million?
How
does
how
does
that
works?
Do
you
provide
the
services
to
other
departments
and
they
reimburse
your
department
back,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
really
for
you
or
maybe
miss
mccoy?
I
Works
so
madam
chair,
counselor,
rivera,
yes,
so
and
andy
could
help
us
with
this.
Also,
so
when
there
is
a
request
that
is
usually
transferred
a
bar
from
other
departments,
but
we
we
what
we
did
was
we
took
a
percent.
We
met
with
the
departments
we
identified,
what
their
needs
was
for
next
fiscal
year
and
that
we
put
that
in
our
budget
this
year.
Is
that
correct,
andy.
E
All
right
so
in
that
process,
if
let's
say
parks,
requests,
20,
new
computers
and
it's
been
budgeted,
then
that
comes
out
of
that
13
million
and
not
out
of
the
parks
budget.
I
J
J
It
is
the
the
purchase
is
maintained
and
the
equipment
maintained
by
it
to
ensure
that
all
equipment
and
software
purchase
is
compatible
with
city
systems
and
they
manage
the
contracts
to
ensure
that
they're
done
in
the
most
efficient
and
effective
way
possible,
but
the
cost
for
the
hardware
acquisition,
the
software
charges,
communications
charges.
All
of
that
do
end
up
getting
charged
back
to
the
user
departments
via
you
know,
parks
or
transit
or
police
through
the
services
of
other
departments,
charge.
E
All
right
so
and-
and
maybe
mr
gonzalez
wasn't
clear-
maybe
I
didn't
hear
correctly,
but
I
heard
that
departments,
certain
percentage
of
departments
budgets
were
pulled
into
this
13
million
and
then
their
needs
whatever
they
were
computers.
Hardware
software
would
then
be
purchased
out
of
this
amount.
N
I
will
just
try
to
address
this
for
all
departments,
since
this
has
come
up
in
prior
years.
Budget
hearings
as
well
in
the
services
to
other
departments,
cost
and
andy
can
go
into
the
details
there
are.
Maybe
I
should
actually
take
one
step
back.
We
have
about
70
different
funds
in
our
chart
of
accounts,
and
so
some
of
those
are
enterprise.
N
Funds
like
we
saw
on
the
first
day,
true
enterprise
funds
like
water
or
wastewater
that,
where
the
revenue
into
those
funds
is
supported
by
fees
for
service,
there
are
other
funds,
like
the
chavez
center
in
the
recreation
department
that
does
support
they're,
not
considered
true
enterprise
funds,
they
have
a
significant
portion
of
their
budget
is
covered
by
the
fees
for
service
that
they
do
charge,
but
then,
and
that
can
fluctuate
so
much
in
any
given
year,
that
there's
often
a
support
from
the
general
fund
or
from
a
gross
receipts
tax.
N
So
that
being
said
in
an
attempt,
I
think
the
key
word
that
andy
used
was
a
chargeback
in
an
attempt
to
the
city
made
an
attempt
a
few
years
ago
to
centralize
a
lot
of
the
it
functions
within
the
it
department
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
best
cost
to
make
sure
that
they
have
oversight
and
the
types
of
operating
systems,
enterprise
systems
that
the
city
is
using,
because
they're
really
the
I.t
experts.
N
And
so
in
order
to
facilitate
this
process,
we
do
centralize
the
budget
within
the
it
department
to
purchase
or
to
be
able
to
oversee
the
upfit
for
the
vehicles
like
we
were
discussing
earlier.
However,
those
costs
because
we
would
like
to
assign
the
cost,
for
example,
to
the
utilities
funds.
That's
the
process
that
andy
is
describing
where
he
then
takes
the
list.
That
manuel
and
his
team
have
director
gonzalez
and
his
team
have
reviewed
from
each
of
the
departments
and
then
assigns
those
costs
through
a
chargeback
process
charges
the
original
funds
directly.
N
So
then,
the
water
enterprise
fund
is
being
expensed
for
its
share
of
new
computer
equipment
or
its
share
of
a
particular
type
of
software.
That
they're
planning
to
use
so
through
that
chargeback
process,
which
we
term
services
to
other
departments.
We
are
allowed
to
be
able
to
hit
the
right
funding
source,
an
enterprise
fund,
or
in
this
case
you
know,
the
chavis
center
fund
and
the
example
that
we're
using
for
the
laptops
or
the
computers.
E
A
Thank
you,
counselor
other
questions
from
the
committee.
A
O
Well,
I
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
don't
mean
to
delay
the
work
of
the
committee,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I've
observed
from
the
committee
meetings
that
have
started
so
far
is
that
they're
not
only
about
the
budget
they're
about
the
work
that
the
departments
do
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
department
heads
to
do
a
little
bit
of
I
don't
want
to
say
self-promotion,
but
because
they're,
very
modest
people,
but
highlighting
the
critical
issues
they're
dealing
with,
and
I
I
don't
want
to
get
in
your
way.
O
But
I
thought
if,
if
the
director
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
tour
of
the
journey
that
he
has
taken
it
on,
it's
quite
a
remarkable
professionalization
upgrade
process
from
what
he
inherited
to
where
we
are
now
we're
not
anywhere
close
to
where
we
need
to
be
the
number
of
machines
that
need
to
be
replaced.
The
software
that
has
to
be
corralled
and
and
homogenized.
So
we're
not
spread
out
across
the
horizon
with
everybody
having
their
own
software
package.
O
The
efforts
to
make
sure
we're
not
hacked
by
outside
organizations,
disaster
recovery
issues
of
licensing,
I
think
they
deserve
in
my
book.
Excuse
me
for
the
presumption,
but
it
would
be
great
if
you
could
give
that
give
the
director
at
least
a
quick
five
minutes
to
give
himself
and
his
team
a
little
bit
of
credit
for
the
quite
extensive
journey
that
they've
taken
us
on
and
with
the
work
to
be
done
still
the
increases
in
I.t
that
represent
a
significant
improvement
on
our
modernization
and
professionalization
efforts.
A
Sure,
director
gonzalez,
if,
if
you'd
like
to
take
a
few
minutes,
the
mayor's
just
put
you
on
the
hot
seat
and
I
do
think
it's
important
work
to
bring
us
up
to
the
century,
we're
living
in
which
is
very
heavily
technology-based
and
we
were
behind
and
we
have
been
making
strides
to
catch
up.
So
I
I
I
think
it
is
really
important
to
the.
As
the
mayor
said,
the
professionalization
modernization
of
city,
government
and
you're
really
at
the
core
of
all
that.
I
Madam
chair,
thank
you
mayor
thanks
for.
First
of
all,
this
is
a
team
effort.
This
is
not
me,
I
mean
I
can't
do
what
ej
duran
does
what
audrey
abate?
That
does
what
a
nathan
cells
are,
what
phil
montana
do
it
they're
the
ones
on
the
field
they're,
the
ones
that
are
making
the
plays,
I'm
just
the
guy
on
the
sideline,
I'm
just
the
coach
with
the
big
monster.
That's
calling
the
dumb
place.
I
All
I
do
is
provide
the
framework
they're,
the
ones
that
are
talented,
they're,
the
ones
that
are
getting
the
job
done.
So
all
this
credit
goes
to
them.
They're,
they're,
they're,
amazing
team,
extremely
talented,
dedicated,
hard-working
professional
and
so
they've
done
a
great
job
and
we
did
inherit
a
mess.
I
You
know
the
director,
salazar
and
director
mccoy.
You
know
go
crazy
with
me
because
I
tell
them
the
munici
upgrade
is
number
five
on
the
priority
list.
It
should
be
number
one
in
a
normal
environment
would
be
number
one,
but
the
the
issues
we
we
have
that
we
have
to
address.
It's
not.
You
know.
We
have
a
public
safety
radio
system
that
needs
to
be
fixed.
Our
cyber
security
infrastructure
is
is
not
in
place.
Our
disaster
recovery
plan
is
non-existent.
I
Our
we
have
a
failing
server
room
at
city
hall
that
we're
moving
to
do
it
and
all
these
things
are
in
motion
right
now
and
we're
working
on
and
we're
looking
to
complete
with
the
next
year
or
two.
So
we're
excited
to
resolve
all
these
problems,
but
you
know
there's
still
a
lot
more
out
there.
Our
non-public
safety
radio
system
is
legacy
outdated
and
20
years
old.
So
we're
going
to
have
to
address
that
once
we
get
through
the
public
safety
radio
system.
I
You
know,
I
think
the
mayor's
mentioned
before
we
had.
You
know:
systems
from
2010.
We
currently
have
servers
that
are
from
2003
and
that's
that's
just
mind-blowing,
if
you
think
of
that.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
needs
to
be
done.
We've
accomplished
a
lot,
and
I
say
we
because
that's
the
team
here
and-
and
it's
you
know-
also
support
from
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
and
the
governing
body.
You
guys,
given
us
every
resource,
we
need
every
time
we
ask
for
additional
funds.
I
A
Thank
you.
I
I
think
that
is,
and
I
I
would
like
you
know,
as
I've
said,
to
do
more
presentations
in
the
course
of
the
year,
so
that
we
better
understand
some
of
the
issues
that
are
being
addressed
and
maybe
we'll
have
we'll
have
some
opportunities
to
to
bring
you
back
and
and
have
you
give
us
more
details.
I
A
P
P
A
A
We
are
on
to
the
human
resources
department
and
we
have
director
salazar
with
her
with
us
and
with
her
our
members
of
her
team.
If
we
could
just
take
a
minute
and
have
her
introduce
folks,
it's
always
great
to
put
a
face
with
a
name.
We
sometimes
get
get
emails
from
you
all,
but
with
coved
we
don't
often
see
you
in
person.
So
this
is
a
good
opportunity
for
us
all
to
to
get
to
know
the
team
and
vern
I'll.
Let
you
take
it
away
director
salazar.
Q
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
rest
of
our
hr
team
to
include
monica
acevedo,
aaron,
aragon,
carmen
hancock,
lillian,
maestas,
alexa,
ortiz
and
carmelina
spears.
I
feel
very
grateful
to
be
able
to
work
on
things
that
are
so
important
to
our
employees
and
I'm
so
very
thankful
to
work
with
such
a
remarkable
hr
team.
The
hr
team
has
demonstrated
great
compassion,
agility
and
a
keen
ability
to
problem
solving
during
some
of
the
most
challenging
times.
Q
The
last
couple
of
years
have
brought
many
challenges
and
changes
to
the
hr
profession,
and
I
really
feel
that
the
hr
team
has
handled
these
challenges
with
such
grace.
So
thank
you
to
the
hr
team
for
all
your
assistance.
I'll
begin
by
highlighting
some
of
the
items
that
helped
us
form
the
basis
for
our
budget
requests.
Q
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
coved
response.
Hr
today
has
processed
487
covet
cases
in
compliance
with
new
mexico
regulations.
Q
This
was
all
new
to
everyone,
so
we
were
learning
as
we
went
along
and
with
the
teamwork
that
we
had,
we
were
able
to
to
get
things
done
in
compliance
with
our
regulations,
hr
continually
monitored,
covid,
safe
practices
and
amended
our
policies.
Accordingly,
we
implemented
the
vaccination
status
process.
If
you
remember
at
the
beginning
of
last
summer,
that
included
weekly
testing
and
that
resulted
in
over
7
000
tests.
Q
Since
august
of
2021,
we
also
offered
two
employees
cobit
safe
training,
in
collaboration
with
the
santa
fe
community
college,
and
also
training
on
steps
required
to
process
covet
cases.
There
was
a
lot
of
uncertainty
amongst
employees.
If
someone
has
a
positive
test,
what
do
I
do?
What
does
it
mean
for
my
work?
What
does
it
mean
for
the
hours?
How
do
I
document
my
time?
Q
So
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
providing
training
and
guidance
to
employees
during
these
very
stressful
times
in
an
effort
to
support
employee
compensation,
the
hr
team
processed
the
minimum
pay
to
15
an
hour
that
resulted
in
approximately
120
employees
receiving
salary
increases
in
december
of
2021,
we
implemented
the
retention
incentives
and
over
1100
employees
received
this
incentive.
Q
Of
course,
we
also
implemented
this
fiscal
year.
The
across
across
the
board
salary
increases
that
the
governing
body
approved
for
this
current
fiscal
year
in
an
effort
to
continue
to
provide
growth
opportunities
for
our
employees.
The
hr
team
continued
to
offer
leadership
training
to
our
employees,
in
collaboration
with
the
community
college,
we
provided
pera
retirement
workshops
for
our
employees
and,
of
course,
the
several
online
training
courses
through
local
gov.
Q
U
this
year,
we
also
implemented
the
human
resources
user
group,
also
known
as
the
hug
group,
and
the
purpose
for
this
group
is
to
have
a
forum
for
departments
to
provide
feedback
and
input
on
hr
processes
and
receive
training
on
critical
hr
topics
and,
of
course,
all
the
emails
that
alvin
valdez
sends
out.
We
had
numerous
health
and
wellness
initiatives
and
challenges,
so
I
think
that
was
really
helpful,
as
we
all
continue
to
navigate
through
these
challenging
times.
Q
Q
Q
We
also
decided
to
take
on
our
first
ever
rapid
hiring
event
in
december
of
2021,
which
was
a
huge
success,
very
stressful,
but
it
was
a
success.
We
were
able
to
offer
over
30
applicants,
jobs
to
work
for
the
city
of
santa
fe
and
after
all,
the
departments
and
the
hr
team
recovered
from
that.
Q
We
were
back
at
it
to
try
it
for
a
second
round
learning
from
all
the
things
that
we
could
have
done
better
in
december,
and
we
hosted
our
second
rapid
hiring
event
in
march
of
this
year
and
we
focused
specifically
for
pub
focused
on
public
works
vacant
positions.
Q
After
that
hiring
event,
we
were
we
offered
over
20
people
job
offers
during
that
hiring
event.
We've
also
partnered
with
the
department
of
workforce
solutions,
as
well
as
the
boys
and
girls
club
to
help
recruit
for
our
vacant
positions
to
include
our
summer
youth
program.
Q
Q
With
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
todd
burley
who
will
go
over
our
benefits,
information
and
the
increases
related
to
our
insurance
fund
and
then,
after
that,
I'll
stand
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
P
Okay,
everyone
can
see
this.
I
hope
yes
fantastic.
So
I
think
a
lot
of
you
have
seen
this
presentation
in
various
formats
before
so
I
will
go
through
it
as
as
quickly
as
I
can
in
the
interest
of
time
three
sections
to
to
this
presentation.
First,
we'll
we'll
show
some
results
through
the
first
nine
months
of
this
fiscal
year,
we'll
talk
about
their
renewal,
the
fy
2023
projection
and
then
the
appendix
there
are
some
benchmarks
which
I
will
not
cover
unless
there's
a
burning
interest
to
do
so,.
P
So,
first,
this
this
table
shows
results
from
july
through
march
of
2022,
so
the
first
nine
months
of
this
fiscal
year,
you
can
see
enrollment
has
dropped
about
five
percent
per
year.
For
the
last
excuse
me,
two
fiscal
years
and
two
percent
the
year
prior
to
that
next
important
row,
row,
seven
funding
year-to-dates
that
includes
both
the
city's
76.5
share
and
the
employees.
Contributions
to
the
plan
have
run
about
13.9
million.
P
That's
again
and
we'll
see
shortly.
That
funding
has
not
increased
for
the
last
two
fiscal
years
and
we'll
see
that
on
that
on
the
next
page,
claims
have
been
just
under
13
million
year.
P
To
date,
fixed
costs
are
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
that
is
the
administration
paid
to
cigna,
as
well
as
stop
loss
premiums,
so
total
cost
for
14
and
a
half
million
relative
to
the
13.9
million
is
a
600
000
shortfall
so
far
year
to
date,
I
expect
that
to
grow
to
somewhere
in
the
million
to
million
and
a
half
dollar
range
by
the
end
of
the
fourth
quarter
so
far
year.
To
date,
that's
3.4
in
terms
of
cost
over
last
year,
and
you
can
see
the
the
increases
over
the
last
few
years
right.
There.
P
P
If
you
go
out
to
column
column,
eight
you
can
see
in
those
months
there's
generally
about
a
half
a
million
dollar
surplus
for
the
other
10
months
of
the
year.
Those
typically
run
a
deficit,
as
there
are
no
other
three
paycheck
months
for
this
fiscal
year.
We
expect
to
run
a
deficit
for
the
following
three
months.
I
think
there's
only
been
one
month,
one
two
paycheck
month
in
which
the
city
has
not
run
a
deficit.
P
Next
up
so
far
year
to
date,
there
are
seven
claimants
who
have
exceeded
half
the
stop
loss
level,
just
as
a
another
primer
on
stop
loss.
The
city
has
coverage
at
250
000,
meaning
that
for
a
claimant,
to
exceed
250
000
and
paid
claims
in
the
fiscal
year,
the
city
pays
the
first
quarter
of
a
million
and
cigna
picks
up
the
rest.
You
can
see
in
that
far
right
hand,
column.
P
So
far,
cigna
has
paid
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
stop-loss
recoveries
and
that
will
probably
grow
substantially
for
in
the
remaining
quarter
so
far,
seven
claimants-
the
next
next
slide,
shows
the
results
for
the
past
two
fiscal
years
where
there
have
been
14
or
15
claimants
this
year.
I'd
expect
somewhere
in
the
10
to
12
range
and
stop-loss.
Recoveries
are
going
to
greatly
depend
really
on
those
first,
two
claimants
on
their
prior
page.
P
Next,
I
want
to
move
into
what
does
this
all
mean
for
the
for
fiscal
year
2023
and
here's
a
brief
history
row
one
shows
year-to-date
results
which
we
just
reviewed
again
so
far:
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
shortfall
based
on
1071
enrolled.
P
As
you
may
recall,
the
the
recommended
increase
going
into
this
fiscal
year-
2022
was
11,
but
due
to
the
hardships
that
employees
were
already
facing
in
every
other
aspect
of
their
lives,
it
was
decided
not
to
make
any
changes
to
contributions
and
not
to
make
any
planned
design
changes,
either
middle
column
or
sorry
row
column.
Two
row
two
shows
the
prior
year
results
again.
A
recommended
increase
was
nine
point,
two
percent
increase,
but
again
that
was
right
at
the
beginning
of
covet.
P
So
there's
no
change
to
contributions,
but
there
were
minimal
plant
design
changes
made
made
some
slight
copay
increases
decrease
to
the
copay
for
telehealth,
and
then
some
changes
to
the
acupuncture,
cairo
and
napropathic
benefits
similar
in
fy
2020.
The
recommended
increase
was
about
11.
P
The
recommended
increase
is
18.5
percent
to
the
current
medical
pharmacy
plan
rates,
we'll
see
the
options
that
were
presented
to
the
benefit
benefits
advisory
committee.
On
the
following
slide
for
the
non-fire
portion,
the
recommendation
is
to
increase
their
their
rates
effective
july
1
of
2022
by
12
and
then
implement
a
minimum
6.5
increase
for
the
following
fiscal
year,
the
fire
union
elected
to
take
the
the
entire
increase
for
the
current
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year
and
not
delay
any
of
it.
P
P
P
P
P
C
and
d
are
similar
to
a
and
b,
with
the
exception
of
there
was
a
deductible
applied
to
the
plan,
and-
and
there
was
just
not
interest
in
that-
enf
compares
the
the
city
of
santa
fe's
plan
to
the
state
plan,
which
is
always
just
huge
benefit
changes
and,
and
that
was
decided
not
to
be
recommended
either
at
the
bottom
of
this
in
rows.
P
P
I
wanted
to
end
this
presentation
on
a
on
a
high
note,
senate
bill
317
eliminates
member
cost
share
for
behavioral
health
services.
What
that
means
is
for
any
service
deemed
to
be
behavioral
health,
including
prescriptions
for
behavioral
health.
There
will
no
longer
be
any
copay
or
member
coinsurance
or
any
other
pocket
costs
for
a
member
for
any
behavioral
health
costs.
P
P
The
remainder
of
this
presentation
is
some
benchmarking,
which
I
think
everyone
is
saying.
The
the
city
of
santa
fe's
plan
is
very
generous
relative
to
both
national
plans
and
other
plans
available
in
the
state
of
new
mexico.
I
think
we've
all
seen
this
before
and
again
in
the
interest
of
time.
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
any
details
in
this
other
than
to
say
that
the
city
of
santa
fe's
plan
is
very,
very
generous
both
for
the
fire
and
non-fire
employees.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Let
me
go
back
to
director
salazar
director.
I
didn't
know
if
you
wanted
to,
if
you
had
other
pieces
to
your
presentation
or
whether
you're
ready
for
questions
as
well.
A
Okay,
then
we'll
go
to
questions
from
the
committee
counselor
rivera.
E
We
recognized
and
honored
her
daughter
last
night,
who
was
the
the
hero
that
we,
I
think
council
lindau
read
the
email
that
the
hero
that
saved
her
little
brother
and
a
younger
cousin.
I
believe
so.
Congratulations
to
you
and
to
her.
She
truly
is
a
hero.
So
thank
you.
I
hope
your
family
is
doing
well.
E
First,
with
regards
to
the
health
insurance
director,
salazar
you've
been
having
regular
meetings
with
the
unions.
Have
those
concluded.
Q
Adam
chair
councillor,
rivera
for
the
purposes
of
the
renewals,
we
have
had
five
meetings
and
so
those
meetings
have
concluded.
However,
we
will
continue
to
meet
quarterly
pursuant
to
the
resolution
that
establishes
the
benefits
advisory
committee.
So
we
will
continue
with
that
to
go
over
the
status
of
the
plan
as
aeon
provides
those
presentations
on
a
monthly
basis.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor
rivera,
we
have
had
a
lot
of
discussion,
reminding
the
committee
that
the
the
purpose
is
to
identify
ways
to
mitigate
the
cost.
So
once
we
get
our
renewal
numbers,
probably
about
february
of
each
year,
then
it's
a
full
speed
ahead
with
the
committee
to
figure
out
a
way
to
either
make
plan
design
changes
or
do
premium
rate
increases.
Q
So
we
had
lots
of
discussion,
lots
of
exchange
of
information
and
fire
said
we
we
want
to
preserve
our
plan.
We
don't
want
any
plan
design
changes,
so
we're
willing
to
take
the
18.5
increase
all
in
fiscal
year.
23.
police
had
some
different
ideas.
Q
I
think
there
was
some
confusion
about
different
plans,
so
the
hr
team
did
go
to
the
police
department
to
make
sure
that
we
were
available
for
any
questions
that
any
union
members
or
any
employees
working
at
the
police
department
had,
and
so
they
were
all
the
people
that
we
talked
to
were
in
alignment
with
the
nobody
wants
to
see
a
rate
increase,
but
they
were
happy
that
there
wasn't
any
plan
design
changes
in
talking
with
appsme.
Q
We
were
trying
to
be
creative,
with
ways
on
how
to
minimize
the
bi-weekly
expenses
for
employees
and
that's
when
we
came
up
with
the
idea
of
reducing
the
18.5
and
spreading
it
over
two
years,
and
so
they
said
that
they
would
be
able
to.
You
know,
handle
that
that
percentage
if
we
spread
it
over
two
years
with
the
12
and
6.5
the
following
year,.
E
Q
Madam
chair
council
rivera
the
police
department
for
certified
law
enforcement
officers.
That
incentive
is
more
that's
different
than
this
incentive
and
I
believe
it's
at
15
000.
E
And
that's,
I
assume
under
the
same
requirement
that
they
stay
for
16
months
or
is
it
a
longer
time
frame.
Q
Madam
chair
councilor
rivera,
I
believe
it's
at
least
six
months,
but
I
will
have
to
verify
the
time
frame
for
that
with
the
police
chief.
E
And
then,
with
regards
to
the
down
payment
assistance
program,.
E
Q
Madam
chair
council
rivera,
I
think
that
this
was
an
idea
for
first
responders
to
help
recruit
and
retain
employees
in
the
first
responding
world.
And
I
don't
know
if
mayor
weber
or
city
manager
blair
has
anything
else
to
add.
R
Sure
I'm
happy
to
madam
chair
councilmarbeda.
I
thank
you
for
that
question.
R
I
think,
as
we
spoke
a
little
bit
to
yesterday,
is
that
we
believe
that,
fundamentally,
there
is
a
great
desire
by
the
community
to
ensure
we
have
a
full
police
force
and
we
believe
that
incentivizing
law
enforcement
officers
to
either
begin
their
career
in
santa
fe
or
come
here
as
a
liar
option
somewhere
else
that
we're
taking
a
number
of
steps
to
try
to
make
that
manifest,
one
of
which
is
by
offering
a
larger
hiring
incentive,
one
of
which
is
by
offering
these
sort
of
mortgage
assistance
to
try
to
be
competitive.
R
What
we're
seeing
across
the
state
right
now
is
a
lot
of
departments
are
approaching
and
officers
move
from
place
to
place
depending
on
what
salary
they
can
get.
We
are
in
the
impression
that
the
state
of
new
mexico
is
also
seeing
a
significant
increase
in
salaries
for
police
officers
within
the
state
police
force,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
stay
competitive
and
trying
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
full
police
force
and
we
have
the
best
men
and
women
serving
here
at
the
santa
fe
police
department.
R
A
O
Because
we
did,
I
think
it
was
a
a
very
good
start
yesterday,
to
talk
about
philosophy
of
compensation
and
incentivization
of
employment.
O
The
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
across
the
neighborhoods
of
santa
fe
and
the
downtown
area,
there's
a
heightened
concern
over
all
forms
of
public
safety
includes
fire
includes
empty,
includes
police
officers.
It
includes
those
individuals
who,
when
there
is
an
emergency
of
any
kind,
we
ask
them
to
respond
rapidly
and
effectively.
O
There
is
a
perception
and
a
consensus
that
people
who
are
keeping
us
safe
if
they
live
within
the
city
limits,
we
feel
safer
with
them
here
and
that's
not
to
denigrate
anybody
who
does
a
job
that
is
important
to
our
community
as
a
whole.
It's
simply
to
say
that
we're
looking
at
the
issue
of
community
health
and
safety,
with
a
particular
emphasis
on
location
being
a
desirable
component
for
our
community.
O
I
know
I've
spoken
to
any
number
of
city
residents
who
say:
wouldn't
it
be
great
if
those
police
cruisers
were
parked
in
my
neighborhood
rather
than
in
rio?
Rancho?
Wouldn't
it
be
great
if
there
were
a
firefighter
living
in
my
neighborhood
or
an
emergency
response
person,
I'd
feel
so
much
more
connected
to
those
people.
I
would
feel
they're
more
connected
to
me
and
their
proximity
would
give
me
an
increased
sense
of
safety
and
security.
O
O
Recently,
an
anonymous
donor
produced
or
provided
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant
to
homewise
to
underwrite
home
mortgage
down
payments
for
educators.
It
specifically
stipulates
educators,
doesn't
say
anything
bad
about
people
who
are
providing
janitorial
services
or
driving
the
school
buses
or
administering
the
schools.
It
says
we
want
to
focus
on
educators
in
the
classroom,
because
in
the
school
district,
their
critical
shortage
is
educators
in
the
city
of
santa
fe.
O
Our
critical
shortage
is
health
and
safety
service
providers,
with
direct
response
to
emergencies
so
identifying
those
as
a
priority
reflects
the
reality
of
our
lives.
Those
people
are
valued
and
scarce,
and
if
we
can
incentivize
them
living
within
our
city
limits,
so
they're
close
at
hand
and
in
our
neighborhoods.
E
Thank
you,
for
that.
Was
there
any
discussion
about?
Potentially
I
mean
we
we
heard
of,
and
I
was
looking
for
it
real
quick
but
the
what
was
being
referred
to
as
the
verdict
fund,
which
looks
like
they're,
really
only
in
the
early
stages
of
that,
and
maybe
this
fiscal
year
only
looking
at
maybe
spending
50
000
of
that
for
an
assessment.
E
O
These
are
really
different,
fundamentally
different
priorities,
one,
it's
not
really
the
verdi
fund,
the
verdi
fund
was,
I
think,
councilwoman
viriel
referenced
was
something
that
former
mayor
and
friend
mayor
gonzalez
pioneered
to
try
to
use
city
funds
to
underwrite
efforts
with
particularly
youth
related
programs
to
provide
job
and
sustainability
at
the
same
time,
training
for
young
people
to
get
work
with
installing
solar
or
retrofitting
homes
combining
employment
with
sustainability.
O
The
program
that
neil
denton
was
describing
is
a
green
financing
mechanism,
so
that
individuals
who
live
in
our
community,
who
are
of
lesser
means
than
our
wealthy
residents,
people
in
the
lower
end
of
our
income
levels,
will
have
as
much
opportunity
to
solarize
and
make
their
homes
more
energy
conserving
as
people
with
more
means.
O
So
it's
more
of
a
loan
fund
to
provide
energy
savings
which
will
produce
a
more
sustainable
santa
fe
and
a
more
equitable
santa
fe
when
it
comes
to
trying
to
make
us
a
green
city
and
that
amount
of
money.
If
you
remember
the
math
that
neil
took
us
through
the
29,
or
so
I
think
it's
29,
it
might
be
the
homes
that
they've
been
able
to
do
as
a
pilot.
So
far
it
might
be
37.
I
can't
remember
29
or
37.
O
O
The
funding
to
support
mortgage
reduction
is
really
more
of
a
combination
of
public
health
and
safety
with
livable
neighborhoods
and
an
attempt
to
make
sure
that
we
are
bringing
people
into
our
neighborhoods
and
allowing
them
to
afford
to
live
here.
Given
our
high
housing
costs,
who
are
the
people
who
are
providing
the
most
significant
interventions
when
it
comes
to
public
safety
and
security?
E
Okay,
but
the
sustainability
agenda,
from
what
we
heard
from
neo,
is
still
only
they're,
going
to
use
50
000
this
first
year
to
do
a
contract
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
get.
O
O
That
would
then
allow
the
creation
of
a
non-profit
or
the
contracting,
with
a
non-profit
that
would
triple
if
they
could,
our
commitment
and
the
the
work
would
begin
as
soon
as
that
that
blueprint
was
produced.
It's
not
a
year-long
effort
to
produce
that
50
000
study.
That's
simply
the
first
step,
so
you're
assuring
us
that
that
blueprint
will
be
done
within
the
fiscal
year.
O
I
well,
I
think,
from
what
I
have
been
told
by
both
neil
and
by
beth
biloff,
who
is
the
person
who
has
given
us
the
benefit
of
her
her
effort,
having
led
the
sustainability
agenda,
effort
under
mayor
gonzalez
and
now
the
coalition
that
drafting
that
report
drafting
that
fifty
thousand
dollar
road
map
is
a
matter
of
months,
not
a
full
year's
worth
of
work.
O
I'm
happy
to
double
check
that
with
with
ms
biloff
and
get
back
to
you
with
the
timetable,
because
she
has
actually
done
this
kind
of
effort
on
as
a
private
citizen
and
can
help
us
scope
out
the
work.
But
I'm
happy
to
give
you
a
timetable.
Counselor
that
is
more
of
an
assurance.
E
I
think
the
people
that
pick
up
trash
are
just
as
important
to
the
functioning
of
the
city
as
as
public
safety
is
so
and
we've
seen
in
other
cities
where
trash
services
have
gone
on
strike,
and
it
has
led
to
many
many
issues,
many
health
problems
and
a
lot
of
other
issues.
So
I
I
think
we
need
to
try
to
work
towards
that.
C
Thank
you,
councilor
rivera,
I'm
pitch,
hitting
for
a
few
minutes
for
counselor
romero
worth
counselor
via
rail.
Did
you
have
questions?
Thank
you.
Man.
F
Thank
you
I'll
start
off
with
the
health
plan.
I
think
it
was
inevitable
that
we
would
have
to
have
an
increase
just
by
the
sheer
nature
of
how
this
plan
is
structured
and
this
particular
provider
and
again
I'll
reiterate
my
desire
to
have
us
look
at
other
possibilities
when
we
put
out
another
bid
for
other
potential
providers
to
see
and
compare
what
that
looks
like
for
us.
F
F
F
Proactive
health
providers
like
acupuncturists
and
medical,
massage
practitioners
there's
this
third
entity,
that's
coming
in
to
the
into
the
works
with
our
insurance
provider,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
all
got
any
more
information
about
that.
F
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
real.
We
did.
Q
Let
me
get
the
and
let
me
get
the
documentation
so
essentially
it's
the
type.
The
name
of
the
third
party
entity
is
called
american
specialty
health,
otherwise
known
as
ash,
and
this
the
reasons
when
talking
with
cigna
the
reasons
for
using
ash
there's
four
categories:
quality,
there's
evidence-based
national
standards
for
coverage,
guidelines,
ensuring
customers
that
only
medically
appropriate
services
are
performed,
while
also
creating
consistent
coverage
practices.
Q
The
third
category
is
care
to
ensure
customers
receive
quality,
medical
medically
necessary
care
that
is
consistent
with
their
benefits
plan
and
access
is
the
last
one:
an
expanded
network
of
quality,
cost-effective
credentialed
providers
that
provide
quality
service
coverage
for
urban,
suburban
and
rural
customers
right
now,
cigna
partners
with
ash
for
acupuncture
since
september
of
2021,
but
is
not
in
place
for
chiropractic
services.
At
this
time,.
Q
No,
if
cigna
is
our
provider
and
they
utilize
them
for
control
and
all
the
reasons
that
they
provide
it
to
me,
then
that
if
that's
what
they
opt
to,
we
don't
have
control
over
them.
F
Q
I
think
I
think
that
a
lot
of
them
when
we
were
talking
about
this,
we
had
a
meeting
specifically
about
this
and
there
are
several
several
other
entities
that
use
it.
I
think
35
other
states
utilize
ash,
and
so
it's
something
that's
pretty
widespread
and
I
guess
common
in
in
this
area.
F
Yeah,
it's
unfortunate
to
have
this
third
party,
another
bureaucratic
level
for
practitioners
to
be
able
to
do
their
work,
and
I
know
we
don't
have
any
control
over
it,
but
it's
just
like
one
other
layer
of
getting
proactive
support
for
our
medical
providers
and
services
for
us
to
you
know,
try
to
do
things
that
are
actually
helpful
instead
of
getting
to
a
point
where
you
need
medical
services
because
you're
exacerbating
and
not
getting
holistic
support
or
any
of
these
medical
services.
But
you
know
how
I
feel
about
this.
I
always
have
a
very.
F
I
just
think
it's.
The
whole
system
is
broken
for
our
health
providers,
health
system.
So
I
will
move
on
to
that.
Thank
you
for
providing
us
the
information,
I'll
move
on
to
some
of
the
other
pieces
here
and
before
I
go
there.
I'm
sorry
I
jumped
in
right
away,
but
I
do
want
to
recognize
you
all
the
staff
and
team
from
hr
and
all
of
the
contributions
you
make
that
we
don't
necessarily
get
to
interact
with
on
a
daily
basis.
It's
been
hard
to
hold
a
lot
of
the
covid
work.
F
We
don't
see
that
behind
the
scenes,
but
tracking
that
was
so
important.
I
think
it
really
just
set
a
good
precedent
for
us,
but
also
a
structure
that
I
don't
think
other
places
had.
I
mean
hearing
from
other
jurisdictions.
They
did
not
have
anything
in
place
that
we
had
as
it
relates
to
covid
response.
So
I
applaud
all
of
you
for
taking
that
on
and
taking
it
seriously
and
all
the
other
aspects
that
we're
trying
to
do
to
support
our
health
of
our
employees.
F
In
so
many
ways
alvin
keeps
telling
me
you're
a
city
employee,
you
could
go
get.
You
can
also
go
to
the.
What
was
it
the
a
blankie,
what
it
was,
the
the
cooking
event,
the
cooking
event?
I
was
like.
Oh
that
sounds
so
great
and
he's
like
well,
you
can
do
that
too,
and
I'm
like-
and
I
know,
counselor
lindell
was
able
to
do
that.
F
I'm
still
planning
on
trying
to
make
it
sometime
so
at
some
at
some
point
I'll
be
able
to
make
some
of
these
fun
things
that
we
provide
for
our
staff.
So
thank
you
all
for
that.
I'm
I'm
sorry!
I
didn't
start
that
way.
It
was
just
like
in
in
budget
mode
here.
So
thank
you
burn
ourselves,
director
salazar.
Can
you
tell
us
more
about
the
hr
analyst
position
that
you
all
are
implementing
and
what
that
person
will
be
responsible
for.
Q
Q
We
just
don't
have
the
capacity
it
was
a.
It
was
a
real
learning
experience
with
the
whole
kobit.
You
know
new
duties
that
got
attached
to
everyone's
job,
the
on-call
evenings,
weekends,
everything
everything
under
the
sun,
so
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
build
the
capacity
in
hr.
The
the
ideas
for
this
position
would
be
to
provide
additional
support
to
the
departments,
while
they're
hiring
new
employees,
processing,
hr
actions,
helping
with
any
fmla
cases
and
and
the
like.
Q
So
it's
it's
really
complementing
the
team
that
we
already
have,
but
providing
them
a
little
more
support
in
that
area.
Q
General
fund
and
it's
we're
requesting
31
an
hour.
F
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
the
other
question
that
I
was
referring
to
earlier
with
it
was
the
tyler
human
capital
management
module
upgrade,
which
we
know
is
necessary
and
it
plays
into
both
hr
and
and
finance.
So
there
is
a
a
line
on
the
budget
that
says
that
you
need
a
functional
subject
matter.
Man,
sorry
subject
matter
expert
to
assist
with
this
upgrade,
so
I
was
curious
what
that
meant,
and
then
I
don't
know
if
this,
how
this
is
different
from
the
it
requests
that
they
already
budgeted
or
asked
about.
F
Your
request
is
500k,
so
I
think
it
was
2.5.
So
is
this
a
separate
pot
of
money
for
the
same
program
or
the
same
module.
Q
Adam
chair,
counselor
vrl,
that's
a
really
good
question,
so
the
functional
subject
matter
expert
is
going
to
be,
hopefully
someone
who
has
done
who
has
experience
with
tyler
but
also
has
and
tyler
upgrades,
but
someone
who
also
has
experience
in
the
hr
world
and
how
we
set
up
codes
and
because
everything
that
we
set
up
will
affect
eventually
the
payroll
codes
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
in
compliance
with
federal
and
state
laws.
Q
So
that's
that's
what
that
means
as
far
as
it
being
different
or
the
same
from
director
gonzalez's
budget,
it
is
the
same
upgrade,
but
I
believe
that
the
instruction
was
that
hr
and
finance
would
be
looking
for
their
own
subject
matter.
Experts
for
the
upgrade
and
hr
has
less
modules
than
finance.
So
that's
why
the
difference
is
there
as
far
as
the
requested
funding,
but
it's
my
understanding
that
the
two
departments
will
be
responsible
for
finding
their
own
subject
matter
experts,
and
that
was
the
reason
for
the
request.
Q
A
We
have
both
directors,
gonzalez
and
mccoy
wanting
to
add.
So
if,
if
we
can
allow
them
that.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
counselor.
That's
a
really
great
question.
We
do
have
three
different
allocations
that
we
are
considering
a
one-time
allocations
for
fy23
the
2.4
million
in
director
gonzalez's
I.t
budget,
the
half
a
million
in
the
human
resources
budget
and
a
million
in
the
finance
department
budget.
This
upgrade
of
our
financial
and
hr
platforms
is
one
of
the
most
critical
projects
as
it,
as
was
the
implementation
in
fy
20..
N
The
original
implementation
was
north
of
about
eight
million
dollars,
and
here
we
are
looking
for
about
four
million
for
the
significant
upgrade
I
believe.
As
director
gonzalez
mentioned,
we
are
currently
on
version
11
and
we'll
be
upgrading
about
10
versions
to
a
more
recent
platform,
which
will
be
excellent.
It'll
provide
additional
capabilities.
Additional
functions
really
to
be
able
to
work
with
more
more
capabilities
that
have
been
developed
over
the
last
decade.
So
as
a
staff.
We're
really
looking
forward
to
this
upgrade.
We.
J
N
Have
lessons
learned
from
the
first
time
that
we
did
this
massive
implementation?
The
first
time
that
we
did
this?
We
had
staff
working
both
on
day-to-day
activities,
as
well
as
doing
testing
working
through
the
roles
working
through
the
workflows,
just
to
name
a
few
of
additional
responsibilities.
N
Our
staff?
What
we
have
talked
about
with
our
staff
internally
and
age
in
finance
in
each
of
the
divisions
is
there
will
be
one
point
person
from
each
of
the
divisions
to
be
assigned
to
the
modules,
but
the
way
we're
going
to
use
the
these
additional
functional
subject
matter
expert
is
really
to
do
a
lot
of
the
testing.
N
That
way,
our
team
can
continue
to
focus
on
the
day-to-day
activities
that
they
that
are
so
important
running
payroll
for
1200
employees
being
able
to
continue
the
progress
that
mr
bahrano's
team
is
making
to
have
an
on-time
audit.
A
I,
and
if
I
can
just
interject
here
too-
and
I
think
director
gonzalez
mentioned
this-
the
that
we
it's
critical-
that
we
that
we
move
this-
that
we
move,
that
we
upgrade,
because
the
old
versions
are
no
longer
going
to
be
supported.
So
I
just
want
to
underscore
that
and
make
sure
we
all
heard.
I
I
believe
you
mentioned
that
so
sorry,
I
think
the.
F
Main
question
for
me
is
there's
different
pots
of
money
for
the
upgrade,
and
my
the
assurance
I
wanted
to
have
is
to
make
sure
that
everybody
was
communicating
with
you
with
each
other
and
that
there's
a
concerted
effort.
That
is
not
obviously
duplicating
efforts,
but
also
that
you're
listening
to
itt
and
taking
direction
from
them
in
each
of
these
modules.
I
Madam
chair
counselor
rael
as
director
mccoy
said,
we're
you
know,
10
generations
behind
this
is
going
to
be
an
extremely
heavy
lift
with
an
aggressive
timeline.
Lessons
learned
from
last
implementation.
It's
unrealistic
to
expect
city
staff
to
do
their
daily
functions,
their
daily
tasks
and
able
to
do
quality
assurance
testing
in
this
new
environment.
I
I
So
that's
our
plan.
I
we
hear
what
you're
saying
about
who's
in
charge.
Director
cells
are
lessons
learned
from
last
time,
made
a
comment.
There
was
too
many
generals,
not
enough
soldiers,
so
this
implementation
team
we're
going
to
have
what
we
call
a
program
manager
and
everything
reports
to
that
program,
manager
that
program
manager,
reports
to
stakeholders,
the
stakeholders
will
be
director,
mccoy
myself,
director,
salazar,
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor.
F
Excellent,
that's
what
I
wanted
to
hear.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
coordination
and
it
sounds
like
they
are
and
when
I
hear
subject
matter
experts
I
just
assumed
it
was
I.t.
Sorry
I
just
was
thought
it
was
our
staff.
So
I
hear
you
about
needing
more
support
outside
of
the
our
city,
expertise.
I
So,
madam
church
yeah,
so
these
and
me's
are
they'll,
be
financial
subject
matter
experts
for
assisting
finance,
they'll
be
human
resource.
Subject
matter
experts
we
will
have
our
surgery
better
experts
on
the
iet
side.
F
Perfect,
we'll
make
a
note
of
that
all
right,
and
then
thank
you
for
that.
The
next
question
I
had
was
about
class
and
comp
study.
F
So
did
the
process
get
delayed
that
we,
so
we
already
approved
funding
last
time
for
an
updated
class
and
comp,
so
did
that
just
did
that
get
delayed
due
to
covet
or
where?
Where
are
we
at
with
that
last
allocation
of
funding.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
real,
no
we're
not
delayed
so
right
now
we're
in
the
first
phase
of
the
class
and
comp
study,
which
is
to
evaluate
the
classifications
and
the
job
descriptions.
Q
So
that
will
be
completed,
we're
anticipating
by
june
30th
and
then
the
next
phase
is
going
to
be
the
actual
review
of
pay
and
comparing
to
other
like
organizations.
And
we
anticipate
that
to
be
completed
by
december
of
2022..
F
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
this
additional
140
000
for
class
and
comp.
How
is
that
going
to
be
utilized
since
we'd
already
budgeted
for
the
contract?
Madam
chair
counselor.
Q
Brael,
so
the
first
portion
will
be
paid
with
this
fiscal
year's
money
and
then,
of
course,
because
it'll
overlap
into
next
fiscal
year.
The
140
will
be
to
finish
out
the
study
on
the
compensation
piece
since
it
overlaps
the
fiscal
year.
F
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
rael,
I
believe
it
I'll
go
back
and
check,
but
I
believe
it
was
200
000..
We
were
able
to
do
the
first
piece
at
a
lot,
a
lower
rate
than
that,
so
we
are
actually
going
to
spend
less
than
what
we
had
originally
anticipated.
F
Okay,
good,
let's
see
we
did
talk
about
the
incentivizing
earlier.
Counselor
rivera
talked
a
little
bit
about
it
and
I
guess
I
was
just
curious
overall
how
you
came
up
with
the
amounts,
the
the
retention
amount
and
then
the
signing
bonus
amount.
How
did
you
decide
on
those
amounts?
The
general
ones,
the
ones
that's
2
000
and
what
was
the
other
one?
A
thousand.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
rail
and
looking
at
other
retention
incentives
across
the
board
throughout
the
country,
they're
typically
anywhere
from
500
to
I've,
seen
some
up
to
3
000,
and
so
we
were
just
comparing
with
other
organizations.
F
Good
okay,
so.
F
The
biggest
one-
I
guess
the
elephant
in
the
room
for
me-
and
I
guess
it
was
for
council
rivera-
was
down
payment
assistance
and
we
already
heard
from
the
mayor
about
the
justification
about
why
they
thought
that
our
first
responders
should
be
the
ones
that
get
that.
F
And
you
know
I
thought
a
lot
about
that,
and
I
think
it's
a
both-
and
I
still
have
this
both
end
perspective-
that,
yes,
we
want
a
program
that
promotes
safety
that
have
our
officers
here
to
be
able
to
have
a
representation
and
live
among
the
community
and
in
the
neighborhoods.
And
then
I
also
think
about
how
other
employees
are
also
just
as
important
and
have
that
you
know
the
essential
worker
status
too,
and
I
think
about
like
yeah.
F
That
also
has
you
had
talked
about
short
staffed
and
pd,
but
that's
also
another
one.
I
think
finance
is
another
one.
You
could
actually
say
it
in
a
few
departments,
but
I
think
about
like
parks,
people
that
work
in
parks
to
have
pride
in
their
in
their
parks
and
what
they
do
every
day,
because
they
live
here
and
they
get
to
use
them
every
day,
and
then
I
think
about
streets
and
public
works.
F
That's
also
promoting
safety
too,
because
we
want
safe
streets,
so
they
would
also
be
you
know
it
would
be
good
to
have
people
that
live
work
in
that
department.
That
would
be
able
to
see
their
fruits
of
their
labor.
I
mean
you
could
also
say
that
about
hr
like
people
that
you
hire
people
that
you
could
even
potentially
recruit,
because
you
live
and
work
among
them
if
you
live
in
the
city
of
santa
fe,
so
I
am
not
okay.
With
this
down
payment
assistance
just
going
to
first
responders.
F
I
think
the
funding
source-
you
know,
council
reverb,
brought
up
the
idea
about
the
green
bank,
the
money.
Actually
I
brought
that
up
to
him,
I'm
glad
he
brought
it
up
to
you
all,
but
I
was
I
did
look
at
the
budget
for
that,
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
support
it.
There's
a
50k,
that's
hiring
a
consultant
to
build
a
business
plan.
F
Then
I
asked
staff
what
else
the
funding
source
would
be
used
for
and
that
clean
energy
fund
would
be
startup
funds
to
actually
create
a
a
two-year
contract
contract
with
an
organization
to
coordinate
the
fund.
So
that's
like
300k
right
there
to
coordinate
and
then
only
150
000
would
be
used
to
invest
in
actual
city
households.
F
So
I'm
of
the
mindset
like
yes,
we
need
to
put
a
plan
together.
Yes,
we
need
to
create
the
infrastructure
and
also
support
funding
sources
from
it,
but
I
actually
think
a
portion
of
that
should
go
towards
our
down
payment
assistance
program
and
make
it
larger
so
that
every
city
employee
is
eligible.
And
I
guess
my
question
to
hr
is
about
the
administration
of
the
down
payment
assistance,
not
just
in
its
current
form.
But
if
we
did
one
whatever
that
looked
like
if
it
was
for
all
employees
who
would
administer
those
monies.
Q
F
Still,
okay,
I
think
we
probably
aren't
in
have
the
infrastructure
to
do
that.
We'd
probably
have
to
use
a
non-profit
that
always
already
does
that,
which
is
I
kept
thinking
about
homewise,
which
the
director
and
I
had
talked
about
this
a
long
time
ago,
and
I
think
other
counselors
had
talked
to
him
about
down
payment
assistance.
I
mean
we.
We
already
do
that
anyway
for
city
staff,
sorry
not
city
staff,
but
city
residents.
So
I'm
just
curious.
I
think
we
actually
there's
infrastructure
already
in
place
that
we
can
use.
F
That
would
be
easy
to
to
be
able
to
transfer
funding
sources
to
do
this.
I
just
think
it
needs
to
be
larger,
a
larger
down
payment
assistance
program
with
everybody
eligible,
obviously
within
a
certain
range
of
what
your
median
area
income
would
be
so
and
that's
standard.
So
I
just
I'm.
F
I
don't
think
it
pertains
exactly
to
your
budget
approval
in
this
case,
but
I
won't
be
supporting
the
entire
budget
plan
if
we
cannot
get
this
tied
down
so
that
we
can
look
at
down
payment
assistance,
even
if
it's
a
pilot
project
to
look
at
it
so
that
all
employees
of
a
certain
income
range
would
be
able
to
be
eligible.
So
we
can
try
this
out.
F
So
I
don't
know
how
much
you
all
will
be
leading
that
who,
who
would
be
leading
the
down
payment
assistance
program?
Is
that
hr.
O
Let
me
see
if
I
can.
Let
me
offer
some
thoughts.
First
councilwoman.
I
also
spoke
with
michael
lofton
about
this
and
I
think
you're
on
the
right
track
in
terms
of
finding
existing
instruments
or
organizations
that
can
be
our
partner.
It
is
instructive
that
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
a
anonymous
philanthropist
provided
for
down
payment
assistance
for
classroom
educators
specifically,
is
being
routed
through
home
wise.
O
So
I
think
there
is
every
reason
to
believe
that,
just
like
the
green
funding
source
green
fun,
the
green
financing
instrument
would
involve
a
third
party
entity.
O
So
would
this-
and
I
think
the
the
the
next
step,
assuming
we
get
approval-
is
to
convene
with
our
internal
team,
around
housing
and
finance,
bringing
to
and
outside
individuals
to
have
a
a
team
of
experts,
whether
it's
alexandra
ladd
rich
brown,
mike
lofton,
ed
romero
and
others
to
say
what
what
have
we
seen
in
other
communities
and
what's
the
most
efficient
way
to
get
money
into
the
hands
of
the
people
who
were
trying
to
provide
this
incentive
too.
O
I
would
say
that
you
know
one
of
the
reasons
to
limit
the
applicability
is
that
the
more
people
who
are
included
the
lower
the
amount
of
assistance
will
be,
and
we
all
know
we
have
significant
housing
issues
here
in
santa
fe
we
have
expensive
housing
and
what
might
be
a
good
ceiling
in
another
community
for
assistance,
and
I
know
that
our
hr
director
has
done
some
research
on
programs
in
other
parts
of
the
country
where
they
have
a
a
limit
of
how
much
assistance
each
individual
could
have.
O
That
would
probably
not
help
a
lot
of
people
in
santa
fe,
because
our
every
community
is
different
and
our
housing
costs
are
significantly
higher
than
some
other
parts
of
america.
So
one
other
reason
in
addition
to
what
I
believe
is
a
legitimate
prioritization
of
first
responders
and
public
safety.
People
just
like
the
school
district
or
mike
lofton's
gift,
will
be
prioritizing
people
who
are
actually
in
the
classroom
where
we
have
a
shortage.
O
The
other
reason
is
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
money,
so
the
assistance
actually
benefits
people
in
a
substantial
way.
Otherwise,
it's
it's
a
it's
a
gesture,
but
it's
not
really
going
to
yield
any
results.
So,
yes
to
what
you
said
about
partnerships,
yes
to
a
swat
team
to
get
together
after
budget,
is
approved
and
actually
work
out,
the
implementation
plan.
F
Well,
I
think,
there's
other
resources
for
down
payment
assistance.
I
see
it
all
the
time
as
I
chair
the
community
development
commission
and
there's
other
funding
sources
through
cdbg
and
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund
that
help
to
support
those
efforts.
If
we're
focused
on
our
city,
I
still
think
it
would
be
valuable
to
open
it
up.
There
would
be
obviously
criteria,
not
everybody
would
be
eligible,
but
I
think
that
having
to
start
a
pilot
project,
it
looks
at
all
possibilities
because
of
the
fact
that
all
our
staff
are
impacted
by
lack
of
affordable
housing.
F
If
we
even
talk
to
hr,
I'm
curious
how
many
of
you
actually
live
in
the
city.
Hopefully
you
do,
but
it's
challenging
to
see
that
so
it's
challenging
to
see
that
people
that
get
to
work
that
work
here
don't
get
to
enjoy
living
in
the
city
that
they
work
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that
because
it
will
be
picking
it
up
and
probably
I
don't
know
which
department
will
end
up
bringing
this
up
again,
but
I
don't
think
this
falls
directly
in
line
or
maybe
you
could.
Let
me
know
director.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
real,
I
I
guess
I
don't
understand
your
question.
Are
you
asking
if
we
can
peel.
F
That
out
well
I'd
like
to
separate
that
out,
so
that
we
can
decide
what
that
can
look
like
for,
in
whatever
form
that
we
can
hopefully
come
to
an
agreement
on
with
the
governing
body.
But
I
don't
want
it
to
affect
approval
of
your
budget.
So
what
I'm
asking
is
the
down
payment
assistance
if
we
can
remove
that
for
a
fuller
conversation,
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
affect
approval
of
your
budget-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
that.
But
I'm
trying
to
figure
that
out.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
rail-
I
don't
know
if
director
mccoy
or
I
believe
I
saw
aaron
mccherry
on
the
call
that
if
there's
more
questions,
of
course,
I
would
prefer
that
we
move
forward
with
the
remaining
items.
Q
A
A
F
There
are
other
questions
when
you're,
okay
and
one
more
question
was
just
to
make
sure
that
the
allocations
for.
F
The
pay
increase
all
of
those
have
to
go
through
collective
bargaining,
a
process,
and
I
know
that
afscme
brought
up
that
in
the
language
in
the
budget
book.
It
didn't
say
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
collective
bargaining
process
for
the
allocation
of
the
the
increase,
the
percentage
increase,
so
just
making
sure
that
they
also
that
will
be
resolved
in
the
collective
bargaining
process
as
well,
even
though
it
doesn't
say
it
in
the
budget
book.
Q
Madam
chair
counselor
via
real,
yes,
absolutely
the
that
allocation
will
definitely
be
brought
to
the
negotiation
table
for
bargaining
and
they
can
determine
and
we
will
exchange
proposals
based
on
what
works
for
them.
Based
on
that
budget
allocation.
K
Q
Madam
chair
counselor,
via
real
yes,
actually,
we
have
talked
about
the
federal
mediation
and
conciliation
services.
I
think
in
my
experience
I
worked
very
closely
with
this
organization
and
specifically
with
afscme,
not
this
local
but
a
different
local
and
it
worked
very
well.
I
think
we
had
reached
out
early
on
like
right
before
covid
and
then
kobit
hit,
but
we
can
certainly
talk
to
appsme
and
see
if
they're
interested
in
that,
because
I
think
that's
a
really
good
way
to
help.
Q
I
want
to
make
one
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
that,
even
though
under
new
mexico
state
law,
even
though
two
parties
don't
get
to
an
agreement,
there's
what's
called
the
evergreen
clause,
so
whatever
is
in
the
existing
collective
bargaining
agreement
will
continue
in
its
full
force
until
a
successor
agreement
is
approved.
So
all
the
benefits
are
still
in
place
in
accordance
with
the
last
collective
bargaining
agreement.
F
Okay,
which
made
me
think
of
the
other
thing
that
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about,
was
the
language
provision
that
you
all
have
the
I'm
sorry,
I'm
linking
on
the
name,
help
me
out
here
where
you
get
bilingual
bilingual
pay.
I
know
that
that's
some
place
right
now
for
after
me,
and
was
there
supposed
some
was
there
going
to
be
an
increase
for
pd
or
some
other
department?
Q
Bilingual
pay
is,
it
hasn't
changed
from
what
they
had
in
previous
contracts.
It
is
different
than
afscme.
F
A
Okay,
it
is
three
o'clock,
we
do
have
some
more
questions
and
we
still
have
one
more
budget
to
get
through
counselor
lindell.
C
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
one
question
because
pretty
much
everything's
been
asked.
Ms
salazar
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
our
reserves
in
our
health
fund.
Q
Q
I
believe
that
I
don't
have
those
numbers
with
me,
but
we
can
certainly
get
them
to
you,
but
we
had
utilize
those
reserve
funds
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
we
were
down
to.
Q
So
we
have
to
subtract
that
from
that
that
number,
but
we
will
go
ahead
and
get
you
the
actual
figures
working
with
the
accounting
team
in
finance.
We
can
get
you
those
numbers.
C
Okay,
you
know
it
it.
It
doesn't
have
probably
great
immediacy,
but
I
think
that
it's
something
that
we
need
to
get
on
our
radar,
because
I
know
that
we're
blowing
through
those
reserves
at
a
pretty
fast
rate
and
I
think,
to
look
at
what
those
balances
are
maybe
compared
to
what
the
last,
maybe
what
you
don't
even
need
to
do:
five,
each
year
or
five
years,
but
maybe
what
they
were
five
years
ago,
and
I
mean
we're
not
going
in
a
great
direction
on
that
and
there's
numerous
reasons
for
it.
C
But
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
have
that
we're
gonna
need
to
think
about
because
we're
blowing
through
those
pretty
fast,
particularly
from
where
we
were
say
five
or
seven
years
ago.
So
I'm
not
trying
to
be
an
alarmist
about
this,
but
it's
something
that
we
need
to
plan
for
in
the
future
and
to
start
talking
about
it
now
is
probably
a
good
idea.
C
So
thank
you
to
you,
miss
salazar
and
that
entire
group
that
works
up
there
holy
cow.
You
both
you
process
a
a
lot
of
used
to
be.
We
would
say
you
process
a
lot
of
paper
there,
but
boy
you
go
through
a
lot
of
data
up
there
and
it
doesn't
go
unnoticed
and
you're
all
very,
very
appreciated.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
chair
for
letting
me
ask
that
question
and
go
ahead.
A
Chair
did
you
have
questions?
Well,
we
have
councilor
rivera's
hand
is
up.
I
do
have
two
quick
questions.
I
was
gonna
make
a
motion
I'll
wait.
Well,
we
could
put
a
motion
on
the
on
the
table
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
budget.
A
Is
there
a
second
I'll?
Second,
for
the
purposes
of
discussion,
I
still
do
have
a
couple
questions.
Mr
burley,
you
had
a
slide
that
said
the
medical
plan's
history
in
years,
fy,
20,
21
and
22,
and
you
know
they
basically
they're
in
the
last
two
years.
There
have
been
no
changes
to
contributions
and
I
guess
to
just
piggyback
on
counselor
lindell
the.
What
what
that
means,
though,
is
because
we
didn't
ask
for
an
increase
in
contribution.
A
P
A
A
We
took
care
of
the
whole
thing
and
we've
done
that
two
years
in
a
row
and
that
leads
to
counselor
lindell's
concern
that
we
have
eaten
into
our
reserves
at
a
level
that
we
may
want
to
start
bringing
those
back
up,
because
we
may
hit
another
bump
in
the
road,
and
we
may
want
to
help
people
again
and
if
we
don't
bring
the
reserves
up
when
things
are
good,
we
won't
have
that
capability.
A
Okay-
and
I
I
just
think
I
I
don't
know
if
your
slides
instead
of
saying
no
contribution-
I
think
it
might
be
good
to
you-
know-
indicate
that
it's
not
that
there
wasn't
a
cost,
and
it's
not
that
it
wasn't
picked
up
it
it.
It
was,
there
was
an
increase
and
we
did
it
was
shouldered
and
it
was
shouldered
by
the
city
on
behalf
of
the
employees,
okay
and
then
one
other
question
about
this
down
payment
assistance
fund.
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
it.
A
I
I
agree
with
the
emphasis
on
our
first
responders.
I
think
that's
the
area
where
we're
seeing
a
need
to
do
more,
particularly
with
police,
because
we
need
more
police
and
because
the
environment
has
become
much
more
competitive
for
attracting
and
retaining
police.
The
state
made
some
changes.
That
is
meaning
that
you
know.
A
And
so
what
I'm
wondering?
I
also
understand
you
know
I
I'm
hearing
from
several
committee
members
that
you
know
would
be
nice
to
be
able
to
expand
to
other
types
of
employees,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
one
solution
might
be,
and
we've
talked
about.
The
fact
that
you
know
we
are
are
are
going
to
be
re,
revisiting
and
continuing
to
work
on
budget
adjustments
as
we
go
forward
in
this
year.
As
we
see
what
we
hope
will
be
continued
robust
revenues.
A
If
we
might
add
this
expansion,
maybe
down
the
road
as
we
see,
you
know
what
our
revenues
do
and-
and
it
seems
as
though
they
they
may
continue
and
that
we
get
started
with
what
we
have
here
and
that
we,
you
know,
put
the
emphasis
where
it
is
currently
because
that's
really
where
we
need
and
to
the
mayor's
point,
that
that
we
make
sure
that
we
actually
provide
a
meaningful
level
of
assistance
to
actually
get
what
we
want,
which
is
first
responders
living
in
our
neighborhoods
in
the
city
limits.
A
And
so
I
I
guess
I
throw
that
out
as
another
possibility
that
we
that
we
sort
of
make
a
note
that
this
is
something
we
would
like
to
see
down
the
road
as
we
continue
to
budget
in
the
course
of
the
next
fiscal
year.
A
So
we
do
have
a
motion
and
a
second-
and
I
those
are
all
the
questions
I
have
counselor
rivera
has
his
hands
up
and
then
you
know
we
can
have
other
con.
The
mayor
has
his
hand
up
mayor.
Were
you?
O
Are
points
you're
making,
but
in
deference
to
the
committee
member
council
rivera
I
will
wait.
My
turn.
A
Okay,
councillor
rivera.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
miss
ozar.
With
regards
to
the
fund
balances,
you
had
said
that
the
union
had
agreed
to
everything
we
had
that
had
been
been
discussed
with
him,
but
typically
the
fund
balances
has
been
a
large
issue
or
an
issue,
not
contention,
but
I
guess
knowledge
for
them
to
have
before
moving
forward
with
any
types
of
increases,
so
they
haven't
been
given
the
fund
balances
either.
Q
I'm
chair
councillor
rivera,
we
have
not
gone
through
the
fund
balances.
The
last
few
benefits
advisory
committee
meetings.
We
will
begin
building
those
into
the
monthly
aon
reports,
in
collaboration
with
the
accounting
section
of
the
finance
department,
and
those
will
be
the
presentations
to
include
that
additional
data
moving
forward
for
the
benefits
advisory
committee
meetings.
Q
Madam
chair
council
rivera-
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
ricky
is
on
the
call.
I
think
we
have
the
2021
amount
and
we
can.
We
can
ask
him
for
that,
but
again
the
looking
at
the
way
that
the
fund
has
progressed
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
the
fact
that
we
haven't
adjusted
premiums
to
account
for
the
increases
of
claims
coming
in
based
on
on
that
information
alone.
Q
That's
what's
causing
the
increase
for
the
premium
rates
on
a
as
a
whole
to
ensure
that
we're
covering
the
the
actual
numbers,
the
claims
that
we
pay
versus
the
city's
contributions
and
the
employees
contributions
are
actual
numbers
and
those
are
tracked
every
single
month.
And
so
definitely
our
claims
surpass
the
revenues
that
we're
bringing
in.
And
that
has
been
the
case
for
the
last.
Q
I
want
to
say
at
least
three
years
todd,
and
so
that
is
the
reasoning
for
the
for
the
increase
and,
of
course,
because
we
haven't
raised
premiums
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
That's
eating
into
the
reserve
balance.
E
Thanks
for
sales,
I
I
don't
doubt
you.
I
would
just
like
to
know
what
those
fund
balances
are,
and
you
said
mr
berano
may
have
them.
N
Madam
chair
counselor,
if
I
may,
I
have
from
mr
bejedano's
of
research,
I
do
have
the
fy
21
ending
balance,
which
is
an
unaudited
number
at
this
point,
because
our
team
is
still
working
on
those
with
the
external
auditors,
as
I
updated
council
last
night,
but
for
fiscal
year
ending
fy
21,
the
ending
balance
was
2.9
million
and
that
does
not
include
the
ibnr
which
we
generally
carry
an
ibnr
of
1.8
million
ibnr,
as
director
salazar
mentioned
earlier,
is
incurred,
but
not
reported.
N
This
is
a
balance
that
we
carry
over
to
make
sure
we
have
sufficient
funding,
as
we
cross
from
one
fiscal
year
into
the
next
fiscal
year
to
cover
any
claims
that
come
in
for
those
few
months,
so
that
ibnr
that
is
generally
carried,
is
1.8
million.
So
just
counting
the
ibnr
we're
down
to
about
a
million
in
reserves.
N
Ibnr
yes
ibnr
and
mr
madame
chair,
councilor
rivera
ibnr.
It
incurred
its
incurred
expenses,
but
yes,
the
revenues
into
the
fund
are
funded
by
both
the
employer
and
employee.
Share
that
build
the
reserves.
Q
N
Madam
chair,
another
important
addition
is
those
numbers
were
as
a
fiscal
year
ending
fy21
last
year.
At
this
time,
the
governing
body
did
vote
to
have
an
infusion
of,
I
believe,
about
three
million
into
the
fund
to
be
able
to
shore
up
the
fund,
but
as
director
salazar
has
mentioned,
and
todd
has
reviewed
with
us,
the
expenses
are
outpacing
the
revenues.
N
So,
even
though
there
was
at
you
know
one
time
out
of
reserves
infusion
in
subsidy,
if
you
will
into
the
health
and
dental
fund,
we
do
see
that
the
trends
continue
and
counselor
lindell
will
be
happy
to
provide
the
information
that
you
requested.
You
know
a
comparison
to
where
we
were
at
five
years
ago.
We
see
that
same
trend,
primarily
because
expenses
are
outpacing
our
revenue.
N
So
we
rely
on
our
reserves
to
get
us
through
for
a
few
years
and
then
we'll
be
if
things
aren't,
if
the
revenue
isn't
adjusted
upward,
we're
going
to
be
at
the
same
pace
as
medical
inflation
or
the
costs
that
are
driving
the
increases
to
claims.
And
we
will
be
at
the
same
point
that
we
were
at
ending
fiscal
year.
21,
where
we're
gonna
need
to
come
back
to
the
council
for
an
infusion
into
the
fund
or
to
increase
the
revenue
into
the
fund,
both
on
the
employer
side
and
the
employee
side.
E
Okay
and
then
just
one
follow-up
question
to
the
signing
bonuses:
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
budget
to
cover
those.
How
long
has
pd
been
getting
the
15
000
incentive.
Q
Madam
chair
councillor
rivera,
I
want
to
say
it's
been
about
two
two
plus
years,
but
I
will
also
contact
the
police
chief
on
that
to
get
the
exact
date
of
when
they
started
that.
Q
Madam
chair
council
rivera,
I
believe
that
the
15
000
they've
been
funding
that,
through
their
through
their
own
budget,
and
that
is
not
part
of
the
300
000.
Yes,.
Q
I
can
certainly
get
that
data
for
you
and
I
can
send
it
out
to
you
once
I
get
that
for
you.
D
O
Counselor,
I
can't
give
you
the
hard
number,
but
I
know
we
just
had
a
lateral
transfer
ceremony
last
week.
We
have
another
one
coming
up
next
week
and
I
believe,
thanks
to
this
incentive
program
over
the
course
of
covid,
we
were
able
to
bring
in
something
like
seven
or
eight
other
lateral
transfers
a
number
from
the
county
sheriff's
office.
O
I
think
it's
made
a
significant
improvement.
It's
helped
us
significantly,
particularly
remembering
that,
for
one
entire
year
the
police
academy
was
shut
down
due
to
covet.
So
we
had.
We
were
completely
shut
out
of
new
cadets,
so
it
became
a
significant
way.
We
could
buttress
our
our
police
force
with
people
coming
from
outside
it.
It
has
to
be
in
the
neighborhood
of
nine
or
ten
at
a
minimum,
but
I'm
I
absolutely
agree
with
the
hr
director
salazar.
We
can
get
you
the
exact
number,
but
I
have
attended
those.
O
E
And
so
what
is
that
vacancy
rate
do
we
know
miss
elder
director
seller.
E
E
And
was
it
last
year
that
we
approved
the
other,
pretty
significant
raise
for
them.
Q
Madam
chair
council
rivera-
I
believe
that
was
two
years
ago.
A
Thank
you,
counselor,
just
one
other
question:
what
level
should
our
reserves
be
at
going
back
to
the
health
care,
so
you're
saying
there's
about
1.1
million
after
we
have
after
we
allow
for
the
ibnr.
Q
Madam
chair,
I
think
it's
going
to
depend
on
what
the
governing
body
feels
comfortable
with
obviously
as
an
hr
director.
I
think
that
the
more
we
can
set
aside
in
reserves,
the
better
and
in
the
event
that
we
do
have
another
pandemic
or
some
situation
where
we
don't
want
to
increase
premiums,
I
would
say
at
least
six
months
worth
of
of
expenses.
Q
I
know
that
in
doing
my
research
prior
to
me
coming
to
the
city,
this
has
been
a
topic
of
discussion
at
the
governing
body
level.
At
what
rate
should
it
be,
and
the
in
my
research
it
had
been
talked
about-
maybe
five
million.
I
know
that
ties
up
budget
to
set
aside,
but
I
do
think
that
that's
a
a
conservative
approach
to
help
employees
when
we
might
really
need
it.
So
I
would
say
my
recommendation
would
be
at
least
get
to
a
point
where
you're
at
six
months
worth
of
expenses.
A
And,
and
so
when
you
said,
we
had
expenses
about
a
million
a
month,
I
can't
yeah.
I
can
get
we're
looking
average
yeah.
So
based
on
what
you're
saying
we're
looking
at
to
your
point,
five
million
would
be
maybe
on
the
low
end.
Six
million
would
be
more
like
in
line
with
the
actual
numbers,
correct,
okay,
interesting
mayor
councillor,
rivera.
If
you
can
take
your
hand
down
and
mayor,
you
had
wanted
to
make
comments.
I
don't
know
if
you
still
do
or.
O
Well,
I
did
want
to
piggyback
on
councillor
rivera's
question
because
I
think
the
data
having
the
data
is
important
if,
if
hr,
if,
if
the
police
vacancy
rate
is
21,
what's
our
overall
vacancy
rate
for
the
rest
of
the
city
for
our
other
departments,
do
you
have
any
numbers
for
those.
Q
Q
O
And
I'm
sure
you
could
itemize
the
different
departments
where
we
have
serious
vacancies
now
is
it
am
I
my
impression
is
that,
in
order
to
address
that
over
time,
you've
taken
steps
to
change
compensation
to
try
to
attract
more
people
to
fill
hard
to
fill
jobs,
basically
incentivizing
those
positions?
Yes,.
Q
Madam
chair,
mr
mayor,
yes,
we
we've
had
to
do
this
across
the
board
because
of
the
competitiveness
with
certain
classifications.
Q
For
example,
we've
worked
with
appsme
to
get
approval,
get
their
approval
to
increase
salaries
for
convention
specialists
and
lead
convention
specialists,
our
streets,
employees,
transit
employees,
our
land
use
inspectors.
So
this
was
outside
of
any
class
and
comp
study
or
an
across
the
board.
It
was
utilizing
existing
budget,
but
finding
a
way
to
increase
salaries,
to
retain
the
employees
that
we
currently
have
and
recruit
employees
to
fill
the
vacant
positions.
Q
This
also
happened
for
environmental
service
maintenance
workers,
so
we
are
constantly
looking
at
that.
Looking
at
our
vacancy
rates,
looking
at
our
turnover
rates
and
the
reason
why
people
are
leaving
and
so
oftentimes,
we
have
to
increase
those
salaries
out
of
the
normal
cycle
of
a
class
income
study
if
it's
necessary.
O
So
I
just
raised
that,
because
I
think
we've
had
two
days
of
discussion
about,
is
it
fair
to
incentivize
some
positions
over
others
or
some
departments
over
others
and
to
add
either
incentives
or
compensation
adjustments
to
attract
hard
to
hard
to
find
employees,
and
I
think
the
the
practices
is
a
fairly
normal
one.
It's
not
there's
nothing
unusual
about
it.
O
When
we
have
difficult
to
fill
positions,
we
do
what
we
can
to
fill
them
in,
and
the
hr
team
keeps
a
finger
on
that
pulse
and
works
with
directors
to
create
adjustments
to
what
the
market
is
telling
us.
I
think
the
market
is
telling
us,
as
the
chair
said,
that
in
the
area
of
police
and
public
health
and
safety,
it's
very
difficult
to
fill
these
positions.
O
We
would
be
adding
more
aru
units
if
it
were
easy
to
fill
those
slots.
We
all
know
they
work
well,
they're,
a
great
augmentation
to
our
standard
approach
to
public
safety.
Filling
those
positions
is
a
challenge.
Filling
the
positions
in
police
across
the
state
across
the
country
is
probably
the
hardest
thing
to
do,
and
so
I
don't,
I
don't
think
we're
doing
anything
unusual
to
say
that
we
can
prioritize
those
without
in
any
way
demeaning
or
diminishing
the
importance
of
the
other
people
who
work
so
hard
for
the
city.
O
I
I
don't
believe
the
the
logic
that
says
if
we
incentivize
policing
we're
disincentivizing
anything
else,
we
try
to
give
everybody
a
good
salary.
What
was
our
compensation
last
year
because,
chief,
I'm
sorry
councillor
rivera
mentioned
the
large
increase
for
the
police.
That
was,
in
my,
I
believe,
first,
full
year
as
mayor,
we
had
an
average
27
percent
for
the
police,
but
last
year
our
offer
was
four
right.
O
And
it
included.
As
the
chair
mentioned,
we
picked
up
all
the
health
care
costs
for
our
employees
and
even
then
we
experimented
with
that
two
thousand
dollar
retention
incentive,
which
we
hope
to
include
in
this
budget
so
that
it
will
immediately
be
payable
as
soon
as
the
new
fiscal
year
begins.
So
the
effort
is
to
treat
all
of
our
employees
well
and
with
respect
an
8
percent
pay
increase
for
across
the
board,
except
for
police,
which
is
budgeted
at
16..
O
The
four
percent's
twice
what
we
did
last
year
and
it's
a
you
know.
I
don't
know
that.
Looking
over
past
budgets,
I've
seen
an
eight
percent
pay
increase
in
recent
times
in
the
city
of
santa
fe.
Have
you
director,
salazar.
Q
Madam
chair,
mr
mayor,
no,
it's
been
a
long
time
since
I've
seen
anything
above
really
four
percent.
In
my
experience
here
and
at
another
local
government
as
well.
O
So
I
I
guess,
madam
chair,
I
think
you
make
a
good
point.
We
can
begin
a
pilot
project
that
addresses
our
most
significant
needs
and
where
we
need
to
be
the
most
competitive,
because
that's
what
the
market
is
telling
us
and
we
can
evaluate
that
pilot
project.
That's
why
it's
a
pilot
project.
You
see
how
well
it
works,
you
get
you
gauge
the
response
and
the
effectiveness,
and
if
it
proves
effective
and
there's
more
money,
we
can
then
look
at
ways
to
expand
it.
O
I
I
do
believe
in
the
general
principle
that
says
that
if
people
who
work
for
the
city
can
live
in
the
city,
that's
an
outcome
we
would
like
to
encourage.
O
I
also
believe
that
you
start
where
you
need
to
start,
and
in
this
case
the
objective
information
tells
us
that
the
hardest
positions
to
fill
where
there's
the
greatest
competition
and
the
greatest
sense
of
concern
in
our
neighborhoods
and
downtown
and
in
our
community
is
with
public
health
and
safety
and
the
speed,
swiftness
and
responsiveness
of
those
city
employees
in
those
particular
jobs.
O
So
I
I
I
think
the
conversation
is
really
constructive.
I
think
your
advice,
madam
chair,
to
look
at
the
project
as
it
evolves
is
a
good
idea.
I
also
think
it
makes
sense.
As
director
salazar
said,
you
provide
incentives
where
you're
having
the
hardest
time
filling
the
most
critical
jobs
thanks
mayor.
F
N
Director
mccoy,
do
you
want
to
answer
that
question,
madam
chair
counselor,
the
what
is
contained
within
the
hr
department's
budget
is
the
an
allocation
in
a
collective
bargaining
reserve,
equivalent
to
an
eight
percent
increase
subject
to
collective
bargaining,
and
that
is
again
held
aside
as
a
reserve
and
one
lump
sum
total,
and
that
is
for
the
afscme
union.
The
police
department
allocation
for
the
16
equivalent
of
16
percent
is
held
within
the
police
department
budget
and
that
budget
we
will
be
hearing
next
thursday.
E
Thanks
just
one
last
follow-up
and
then
I
promise
to
be
quiet
director
cells
regarding
what
the
mayor
said
about
and
then
those
other
hard
to
fill
positions
that
you
talked
about
earlier.
Were
you
successful
in
hiring
those
with
the
incentives
and
and
the
increases
that
you
made
and
ultimately
gave.
Q
Madam
chair
councillor
rivera,
I
think
that
the
inspector
classification,
I
believe,
still
has
a
vacancy
or
two,
but
it
did
help,
retain
definitely
helped
retain
transit
drivers
and
streets
and
maintenance
workers,
and
we
were
able
to
recruit
more
convention
specialists
and
then
retain
some
of
the
ones
that
were
getting
job
offers
from
local
hotels
since
they
significantly
increased
their
salary.
So
I
believe
that
those
increases
did
work.
A
Okay,
we
do
need
to
move
on.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
this
budget.
Can
we
get
a
roll
call
councillor
now.
A
Yes,
all
right
we're
gonna,
move
on
and
we'll
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
about
this,
because
we
still
have
finance
to
go.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Moving
on
to
the
finance
department,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
team
that
we
have
with
you
here
today.
We
do
have
our
budget
officer,
andy
hopkins
and
his
team
lawrence
lovato
and
maria
grego
has
joined
us
this
year
to
assist
us
since
the
budget
division
of
so
short
staffed.
She
has
come
on
as
a
temporary
employee
to
assist
us
through
this
time.
So
we're
appreciative
to
her
for
doing
that
joining
us
today
as
well.
We
have
alexis
lutero.
She
is
the
assistant
finance
director.
We
have
ricky
vegetano
our
accounting
officer.
N
N
We
hope
to
highlight
that
as
we
go
through
the
different
budget,
slides
so
media,
if
you
will-
and
we
also
have
carolyn
roybal
joining
us
today-
she
is
our
dedicated
admin
manager
in
our
department.
You
all
are
familiar
with
her.
As
you
see
her
every
two
weeks
in
our
finance
committee
meetings,
oh
okay,
next
slide.
Please,
today,
we'll
just
give
you
an
overview
of
the
finance
department
budget.
We
have
a
a
total
budget
for
fy
23
of
33
million.
N
This
is
an
increase
both
when
compared
to
the
current
fiscal
year,
fy22
and
pre-pandemic
levels.
The
department
budget
does
include
an
eight
percent.
Salary
include
increase
for
both
non-union
and
exempt
employees.
We
have
a
total
of
58
positions
and
20
vacant
positions.
Currently,
that's
a
vacancy
rate
of
34.
This
is
the
highest
vacancy
rate
in
the
entire
city.
Out
of
all
the
departments.
N
First
we'll
review
with
you
the
admin
budget.
This
total
budget
is
2.8
million.
The
major
increases,
as
we
discussed
previously,
is
a
one
million
dollar
one-time
cost
for
these
functional
subject
matter:
experts
to
assist
with
the
munis
financial
and
the
payroll
module
update
in
january
of
next
year.
We
also
have
when
that
signif
those
two
platforms
are
updated.
We
will
have
to
update
all
of
our
policies
and
procedures,
so
there's
an
additional
200
000
built
into
this
budget.
N
Again,
it's
a
one-time
cost
to
be
able
to
support
updating
policies
and
procedures,
because
the
platform
is
director
gonzalez
mentioned,
we'll
be
jumping
ahead
about
10
versions,
so
an
entire
decade
worth
of
changes.
We're
really
looking
forward
to.
We
additionally
wanted
to
call
out
that
we
have
80
000
in
this
budget,
for
training,
for
our
finance
staff
and
15
000
in
dues
for
memberships
to
professional
governmental
finance
organizations
for
our
finance
staff
as
well.
N
This
is
really
key
important
part,
as
we
continue
to
hire
in
very
qualified
certified
staff,
for
example
fran
as
a
cpo
she's
continuing
to
hire
in
cpos
in
her
department
or
brad
as
as
a
cfa
or
ricky
as
a
cpa,
they
are
continuing
to
add
additional
staff
where
we
need
to
continue
with
our
continuing
education
as
well
as
continuing
training
for
all
of
our
staff
across
all
divisions.
N
Next
slide,
please,
the
accounting
and
financial
services
division
is
one
of
our
larger
divisions.
This
total
budget
is
4.2
million
here.
This
is
combined.
The
accounting
accounts
payable
grants,
management
and
payroll
divisions
in
fy

next
slide.
Please
the
fy
23
proposed
budget
for
the
budget
division
does
contain
the
transfers
for
the
departments
that
we
have
been
discussing
earlier:
everything
from
debt,
our
debt
service
obligations
to
our
subsidies,
debt
and
capital
costs
for
the
different
of
the
different
funds-
midtown
transit
rail
yard.
N
N
The
fleet
management
division
is
also
part
of
the
finance
department.
Their
budget
totals
about
1.5
million.
Part
of
this
is
assessed
out
to
other
departments,
as
we
discussed
earlier
in
answering
counselor
rivera's
questions.
The
main
highlights
here
is:
we
have
about
250
000
for
repairs
and
maintenance
of
our
of
the
city
fleet
city-wide,
not
only
vehicles,
but
also
some
of
our
heavy
equipment
with
close
to
300
000
for
auto
parts
and
tires
and
close
to
20
000
for
employee
training.
N
This
is
a
key,
critical
department,
internal
service
department.
This
is
the
backbone
to
a
lot
of
our
operations
across
the
city.
We're
very
excited
our
fleet
manager
has
been
vacant,
we're
in
the
last
portions
of
the
hiring
process
to
hire
in
our
new
fleet
manager
into
this
division.
N
Next
slide,
please
the
central
purchasing
office,
every
single
contract
and
po
goes
through
a
friend's
shop.
This
is
quite
a
significant
increase
in
an
investment
over
the
course
of
the
last
four
years.
Fran
has
done
an
excellent
job
at
providing
a
vision
for
the
office
to
create
a
contract
and
a
procurement
section
within
the
central
purchasing
office.
So
every
single
contract
and
every
single
po
is
reviewed
by
someone
in
her
staff,
a
very
qualified
capable
staff
that
have
a
wide
variety
of
expertise.
N
So
we
have
been
able
to
add
capacity
to
this
department
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
fiscal
years
and
we're
very
grateful
to
fran
for
providing
her
vision
for
this
area
next
slide.
Please,
the
treasury
and
investment
department
totals
1.3
million
for
fiscal
year
23
recommendation
a
few
highlights
here
on
the
activities
in
the
invest,
treasury
and
investment
division
manages
all
revenues
and
outgoing
payments
and
oversight
to
all
ar
functions
and
the
cashier
office.
N
Here
at
city
hall
and
all
bank
activities,
the
red
also
managed
manages
the
city's
investments
of
over
300
million
in
our
debt
portfolio
of
about
235
million.
For
the
highlights
of
this
budget
for
f
proposal
for
fy
23
is
an
additional
150
000
increase
in
the
treasury
department
or
divisions
budget
to
build
out
a
self-service
tax
portal
for
all
of
our
lodgers
tax
collections.
N
Unlike
the
gross
receipts
tax
that
go
to
the
taxation
revenue
department,
lodgers
tax
all
comes
into
our
city
hall,
cashier
service
and
the
idea
behind
building
out
the
self-service
tax
portal
is
to
make
that
tax
collection
process
much
easier
and
quicker
for
our
taxpayers.
We
also
have
a
60
thousand
dollar
pilot
program
for
a
revenue
maximization
contract.
N
We
know
that
we
leave
revenue
on
the
table
and
we
would
like
to
hire
a
consultant
to
come
in
to
assist
us
to
collect
the
revenue
in
various
different
areas
to
make
sure
we're
maximizing
the
the
revenue
collections,
whether
it's
tax
collection,
lodges,
tax
as
an
example
or
in
other
fees
or
fines
or
in
other
areas.
N
Next
slide,
please:
the
next
budget
is
our
risk
management
division
at
totaling,
5.6
million
the
risk
management
division
is
responsible
for
managing
all
of
our
claims
throughout
the
city.
The
increase
that
we
see
here
for
a
little
under
450
000
is
associated
with
our
general
liability
claims
and
our
third-party
administration,
as
well
as
claims
for
fleet
and
physical
damage,
there's
about
300
000
in
contracted
services,
including
everything
from
our
insurance
broker,
services,
claims
administration
and
a
city-wide
risk
assessment.
N
Next
slide,
please-
and
that
brings
us
to
the
final,
the
total
of
3.3
million
for
the
entire
department.
With
that,
madam
chair,
in
the
interest
of
time,
I'm
gonna
ask
media
to
stop
sharing
the
powerpoint
and
to
for
all
of
our
managers
to
stand
for
questions
to
for
the
committee
members.
A
Great
and
I
didn't
know
if
you
wanted
to
do
a
quick
introduction
of
your
team,
that
being
the
finance
committee-
and
these
are
the
folks-
we
see
on
a
regular
basis,
but
you
know
the
extent
we
have
members
of
the
public
tuning
in
for
these
budget
hearings.
Maybe
a
quick
introduction
would
be
something.
N
Valuable,
madam
chair,
we
already
covered
the
introduction
of
all
of
our
staff.
We
have
many
more
staff
that
does
support
the
half
a
dozen
or
so
members
that
we
have
here
and
we're
very
grateful
to
all
of
the
hard
work
and
effort
that
they
put
in
they
work
nights
and
weekends.
Again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
do
have
one
of
the
highest
vacancy
rates.
I
think
this
doesn't
come
as
news
particularly
to
the
finance
committee,
so
we're
very
appreciative
to
to
this
particular
team.
A
True,
we
did
introduce
them
at
the
beginning
of
these
hearings
two
days
ago,
but
in
case
you
were
just
turning
in
today
and
not
you
know
two
days
ago
and
maybe
we've
all
forgotten,
but
anyway,
all
right.
We'll
move
on
in
the
interest
of
time,
questions
from
the
committee
councilwoman.
F
Via
rail,
thank
you,
madam
chairman.
We
actually
just
did
a
intro
at
the
beginning
of
this
presentation,
so
good
to
see
you
all
thanks
for
sticking
with
us,
quick
questions,
the
200
000th
to
fund
an
update
to
finance
policies
and
procedures.
N
Bio
break,
so
I
might
have
missed
that.
So,
madam
chair
counselor,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Yes,
that
is
considered
a
one-time
expense
that
is
in
conjunction
with
the
munis
financial
and
pay
payroll
module
in
the
human
capital
management
system,
upgrade
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
they're
in
making
the
change
from
the
version
11,
which
we're
on
now
up
10
versions,
10
10
steps.
If
you
will
into
the
future,
we
do
anticipate
having
to
revise
policies
and
procedures
across
the
board
when
it
comes
to
policies.
N
For
example,
brad
has
brought
forward
an
update
in
the
past
to
the
investment
or
debt
policies,
and
I
believe
fran
brought
forward
a
change
to
the
procurement
policy,
both
within
the
last
few
years.
Those
things
do
come
to
counsel.
So
if
there
are
any
updates
to
policies,
those
will
be
reviewed
by
the
city,
we'll
send
those
to
the
city
attorney's
office
to
review
and
then
we'll
bring
them
to
council
for
approval.
Is
that
a
contract?
Okay?
Madam
chair
counselor?
Yes
and
the
it's
technical.
J
N
If
you
will
it's
a,
we
talked
about
functional,
subject
matter
experts.
These
really
are
folks
that
would
are
going
to
need
to
be
experts
in
their
fields
to
be
able
to
understand
what
best
practices
are.
The
bulk
of
that
work
will
go
into
updating
the
operating
procedures,
the
standard
sops.
We
call
them
standard
operating
procedures
to
be
able
to
walk
someone
through
from
start
to
finish
in
the
modules
in
the
new
tyler
munis.
F
Version
great,
thank
you
thank
you
and
then
can
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
414
thousand
for
general
liability
claims.
Yes,
madam.
N
Chair
brad,
do
you
wanna,
do
you
wanna
jump
in.
S
Thank
you
director,
mccoy
chairman
councillor,
viorell,
that
is
primarily
an
expected
increase
in
the
premiums
that
are
going
to
be
paid
that
we're
in
the
process
of
renewing
all
the
city's
insurance
policies
at
this
point
in
time.
These
are.
These
are
forecasted
in
speaking
with
our
insurance
broker,
that
we
will
see
an
increase
in
our
premiums
this
year,
not
just
the
city's
experience,
but
just
general
experience
of
all
insurers
over
the
last
year.
F
It
okay,
thank
you
for
that
distinction
for
the
self-service
tax
portal.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
because
you
said
that
it
currently
goes
through
cashiers
and
this
would
be
a
portal
they
could
access
online.
F
S
S
This
is
really
enabled
by
the
new
munis
upgrade
and
the
implementation
of
a
receivable
system,
and
what
we
want
to
do
is
once
that
receivable
system
is
in
place,
unlike
the
utility
division,
that
does
have
a
receivable
system
and
bills,
its
customers,
lodgers
tax
is
a
self-reported
tax
right,
and
so
we
really
don't
have
a
receivable
system
that
well
we
don't
have
a
receivable
system
at
city
other
than
utilities.
S
So
now
we're
going
to
be
able
to
have
them
come
in,
create
their
own,
basically
invoice,
which
is
their
tax
return
and
be
able
to
pay
it.
You
know
you
know
much
like
what
I
do
for
the
city
paying
government
gross
receipts
tax
at
trd,
so
this
is
going
to
be.
You
know
of
the
new
muni
system,
integration
with
the
fiscal
agent
and
making
life
massively
easier
for
both
the
largest
tax
payers,
as
well
as
staff.
S
F
Instead
of
randy
randall
doing
it,
I
always
thought
that
was
interesting.
So
I
think
that's
good,
there's
a
separate
person
to
do
that.
One
more
question:
the
sixty
thousand
sixty
thousand
for
revenue
maximization.
N
Our
parent
counselor
rivera
yes,
this
is
an
effort
very
similar
to
what
we
just
discussed
with
the
blodgers
tax
collection.
We
don't
always
have
one
person
like
we
will,
with
the
lodgers
tax
administrator
to
monitor
each
of
the
revenue
sources.
This
is
something
I'm
very
excited
about
something
we've
talked
about
for
the
last
few
years,
and
now
we
feel
we
have
the
capacity
to
deploy
this
as
a
pilot
program.
Ideally
the
cost
of
the
revenue
generated
by
understanding,
what's
left
on
the
table
and
being
able
to
collect
that
will
cover
the
60,
000
expense,
great.

And
council
romeroworth.
Yes,
thank
you
all
right.
We
have
moved
through
the
agenda.
We
will
pick
up
on
tuesday
at
one
o'clock
and
move
into
the
second
week
of
these
budget
hearings.
I
thank
everybody
for
the
work
that
we've
done
today.
We've
got
more
to
do
and
more
to
circle
back
to
councilwoman.

A
Looks
like
director
mccoy
is
nodding,
yes
and
flashing.
That
list.

On
camera,
adam
chair,
I
do
have
a
master
list
of
all
the
follow-up
that
we
do
owe
the
committee
it's
similar
to
prior
years,
it'll
be
in
a
memo
format,
ideally
coming
in
waves
to
you.
So
as
soon
as
we
get
a
few
things
we'll
go
ahead
and
pass
that
information
on
to
not
only
the
finance
committee
but
the
entire
governing
body
as
well.
So
everyone
has
the
same
information
at
hand.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
Okay,
we
will
see
everybody
next
week
have
a
good
holiday
weekend
and
thank
you
for
your
work
to
date.
We'll
see
you
next
week.
We're
adjourned,
take
care.
