As

agenda.
D
F
Good
morning,
good
morning,
my
name
is
katherine
kennedy,
I'm
from
lake
orion
and
I've
gotten
to
be
a
repeat
customer
here
I
got
to
tell
you,
but
when
I
see
things
like
the
commissioners
claiming
to
own
the
parks
that
have
citizens
owned
with
all
the
language
changed,
I'm
just
so
shocked
that
I
can't
believe
this
is
a
constitutional
america
that
we've
lived
in
our
entire
lives.
The
fact
that
this
commission
behaves
like
a
fiefdom
instead
of
a
democracy
is
shameful.
F
I
do
not
agree
with
the
clerk
counting
boards.
We
actually
have
canvassers
in
oakland,
county
and
so
far
it
appears
that
oakland
county
had
seven
percent
van
phantom
votes
in
the
2020
election.
That
means
votes
that
weren't
any
good.
I
think
that
comes
about
144
000
enough
to
flip
the
entire
election.
F
So
these
are
the
facts
that
are
out
there,
cases
that
have
been
closed,
but
not
even
taken
it
into
consideration.
So
I
do
not
want
oakland
county
participating
as
a
centralized
accounting
board.
Just
like
I
do
not
approve
of
coulter's
15-person
public
communication
department.
That's
been
funded
at
the
expense
of
our
law
enforcement,
so
I
also
see
you've
got
another
resolution
for
an
additional
two
percent.
General
salary
increases
in
fiscal
year
22..
F
Now.
First
of
all,
I
don't
understand
how
last
year,
when
25
percent
of
the
businesses
in
oakland
county
as
of
june,
no
longer
existed,
how
this
council
approved
15
raises
pretty
much
across
the
board.
Even
people
that
were
getting
grants
came
back
and
said:
oh,
we
want
to
raise.
Everybody
else
got
more
money
come
on.
This
is
ridiculous
and
wasteful,
and
this
is
the
root
cause
of
inflation.
F
Got
news
for
you.
All.
These
salary
increases
all
these
extra
people.
Why
did
coulter
need
399
more
people
in
his
budget
last
year
and
that's
his
official
page
672-page
budget?
Why
was
that
necessary?
Yet
the
police,
the
sheriff's,
lost
20
sheriff,
but
they
said,
oh
well,
you
get
four
social
workers,
so
you
only
lost
16.
nonsense,
I'm
not
calling
a
social
worker.
If
I
have
a
crisis,
I'm
calling
my
law
enforcement.
F
It's
offensive
to
me
that
this
board
has
given
itself
over
4.5
million
in
discretionary
spending
for
the
projects
that
you
see
fit
that
do
not
reflect
what
the
citizens
of
this
county
need
and
want
is
terribly
offensive
and
I'd
be
glad
to
help
you
go
through
the
budget
and
see
where
you
need
to
fix
it,
because
I'm
actually
very
good
at
financial
analysis
and
everything.
I've
seen
so
far
in
this
commission
is
disgraceful
because
the
public
kennedy
please
wrap
up
your
comments.
Thank
you
we'll
do.
F
The
public
has
a
right
to
know
how
their
money
is
being
spent
and
the
public
is
only
allowed
to
be
taxed
for
purposes
of
defending
the
citizens
and
common
welfare
of
the
citizens,
so
everything
they're
spending
on
is
in
violation
of
the
u.s
constitution,
part
1,
section
8..
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Ms
kennedy.
D
Is
there
anyone
else
from
the
public
who
would
like
to
address
the
legislative
affairs
and
government
operations
committee
this
morning
see
none
our
first
public
comment
is
closed.
Next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
communications,
given
that
there
are
none,
we'll
move
on
down
to
item
number
eight,
which
is
consent
agenda.
D
We've
got
three
items
under
our
consent
agenda
item
a
resolution
recognizing
march
22
march
2022
as
developmental
disabilities
awareness
month
in
oakland
county
item
b
resolution
recognizing
school
breakfast
week
in
oakland
county
as
march
7th
through
the
11th
of
2022
and
item
c,
which
is
resolution
recognizing
march
2022
as
women's
history
month
in
oakland
county.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
lube's
support
by
commissioner
gershenson
roll
call
or
prompt
the
votes?
Please.
D
Five
gays,
zero
nays
consent
agenda
approved
commissioner
gershon.
C
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
angela
powell
and
I'm
not
sure
who
else
was
on
that
committee,
that
made
the
decision
to
invite
commissioners
to
highlight
a
woman
this
month
in
their
district
and
wanted
to
remind
everybody
to
be
sure
you're
looking
at
it.
For
a
woman,
that's
had
a
big
impact
in
their
district.
D
So,
let's
get
some
more
information
to
communicate
at
both
caucuses
next
week.
For
sure
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
light
next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
item
nine,
which
is
our
regular
agenda.
Our
first
item
is
our
presentation
by
our
legislative
lobbyist,
jim
ryan,
so
jim
come
come
on
and
introduce
yourself
again
and
give
us
a
little
update
on
what's
shaking.
G
Good
morning,
madam
chair
nice,
to
see
you
well
it's
good
to
be
back
again,
and
I
do
have
some
updates
to
give
to
you.
Obviously
I
think
you're
all
aware
of
the
fact
that
we're
in
the
process
of
passing
the
state's
budget
this
year,
the
overall
sense
at
this
early
stage
is
the
governor
put
forth
her
budget
recommendations
and
wrapped
all
of
the
federal
dollars
into
the
state
budget,
for
a
total
of
about
74
billion
dollars
to
spend
this
year,
which
was
is
normally
about
a
50
6
billion
dollar
budget.
G
G
I
think
I
met
you
before
I
mentioned
to
you
the
last
time
I
was
here
that
the
unique
situation
we
have
this
year
with
the
new
district
lines
for
both
the
house
and
the
senate
are
creating
a
lot
of
chaos
in
terms
of
voting.
G
Members
are
watching
other
members
very
closely
and
how
they
vote,
because
they
might
be
running
against
them
or
moving
into
their
seat
or
whatever.
So
we
have
an
added
difficulty.
This
year
that
we
haven't
experienced
in
over
10
years,
so
that's
going
to
complicate
it,
but
by
the
same
token
there
is
even
greater
risk.
I
mean
greater
interest
in
getting
home
campaigning,
so
they
can't
do
that
until
they
get
the
budget
done.
G
Well,
there
is
there's,
there's
a
a
lot
of
money
compared
to
the
past
available
this
year
and
there's
a
three
bill
package
senate
bill
702
through
704,
specifically
tapping
out
the
natural
resource
fund,
meaning
fully
funding
it,
for
you
know
for
a
long
time
and
then
there's
a
and
most
of
it
goes
to
state
parks.
But
then
there's
another
bill,
703
introduced
by
senator
mcdonald,
which
is
going
to
offer
150
million
dollars
in
grants
for
local
parks.
G
So,
in
working
with
chris
ward,
we've
got
kind
of
a
list
of
we
put
together
a
list
of
priorities,
so
we're
meeting
with
our
legislators
and
asking
them
you
know
get
on
the
list
for
these
grants.
There
are
new
grants
that
are
becoming
available
for
four
parks
throughout
the
state
of
michigan.
G
So
once
that
process
gets
started,
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
would
contact
your
legislature,
legislator
and
say:
hey
we'd,
like
these
this
bill
to
pass,
because
we
want
to
apply
for
some
of
these
things,
jeremy,
woodward's
kind
of
made
it
a
priority
to
get
this
done
from
for
me.
So
that's
what
I'm
working
on
one
of
the
things.
G
G
This
bill
has
widespread
opposition
over
a
hundred
groups
are
opposed
to
this.
This
two
bill
package,
including
the
michigan
associated
county
sheriff's,
I
mean
the
list
goes.
I
could
read
you
the
names
but
there's
over
a
hundred,
and
this
bill
may
come
up
tomorrow.
The
bill
bills
may
come
up
tomorrow
on
the
senate
floor
and
again
we're
opposed
to
that,
and
we
don't
want
to
see
it
move.
But
again
it's
the
senate
majority
leaders
two
bill
package.
G
So,
if
he's
moving
it
he's
of
the
opinion
that
he
has
the
support
for
it,
we
kind
of
don't
think
he
does
so
we'll
see
what
happens.
But
obviously
this
is
something
that
I'm
not
sure
anybody
in
this
room
is
in
support
of
these
two
bills.
But
that
was
the
fourth
item
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention,
so
there
I'm
done
with
what
I
thought
you
might
be
interested
in.
If
you
have
other
questions,
I'm
happy
to
take
them
sure.
A
Hi,
thank
you.
The
road
commission,
I
believed,
received
funding
from
the
road
or
from
the
state
for
the
roads.
Do
you
know
if
they
did
this
last
go-around
infrastructure.
G
There's
an
infrastructure
supplemental
which
is
being
worked
on
as
we
speak,
there's
really
there's
four
major
supplementals
that
are
getting
discussed
right
now.
I
think,
since
the
last
time
I
was
here,
I
think
I
mentioned
to
you
that
the
first
supplemental
they
wanted
to
deal
with
was
healthcare
hospitals,
nursing
homes.
Obviously
that
was
the
most
in
need
of
attention,
but
there's
also
the
infrastructure:
fun:
supplemental,
the
water
supplemental,
which
is
being
debated
this
week
and
and
could
could
capture
the
three
bills.
G
I
talked
about
for
parks
and
rec
that
that
money,
those
three
bills
could
be
rolled
in
to
the
water
supplemental,
but
the
infrastructure.
One
is
important
too,
because
of
all
the
dam
problems
we
we've
had
in
the
state,
so
look
they're
on
high
priority.
There's
a
lot
of
money.
There
have
been
some
federal
funds
months
ago
that
came
through
the
feds
for
covert
relief.
Those
dollars
did
come
to
the
oakland
county
road
commission.
They.
A
G
Okay,
so
there's
two
two
pots:
the
regular
transportation
fund
that
we
go
through
every
year,
right
spending,
gas
taxes
on
infrastructure
projects
and
then
the
federal
arpa
dollars
is
another
very
large
pot.
That's
going
to
add
to
well
infrastructure
covers
a
lot
these
days,
not
just
roads
and
bridges.
As
you
know,
it's
a
lot
of
other
things
as
well,
so
yeah.
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you.
Excellent
commissioners.
D
Any
other
questions
comments
in
regards
to
any
items,
mr
ryan,
shared
or
any
other
items
all
right,
commissioner
jackson,
so
the.
G
H
But
you
don't
feel
as
though
he
has
the
support
and
at
the
same
time,
can
he
can
this
two
bill
package
be
veto
absolutely.
G
D
Excellent.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
G
D
Jim,
I
just
it's
not
related
to
any
of
the
updates
that
you
just
gave,
but
I
want
to
put
this
on
your
radar
and
I
definitely
will
be
reaching
out
in
the
next
couple
days
to
to
give
more
additional
insight.
But
one
of
the
things
I
just
like
to
put
on
your
radar
is,
as
we
start
to
approach
our
spring
summer
months.
D
We
know
that
you
know
throughout
the
pandemic,
people
found
some
more
time
in
nature
and
in
our
parks,
but
also
on
our
water,
and
I
know
that
here
in
michigan,
not
only
do
we
have
the
most
inland
lakes
than
any
other
county
michigan,
but
we
also
have
the
highest
number
of
registered
boaters
in
the
state
of
michigan,
and
some
of
us
are
aware
many
of
us
aren't,
but
in
regards
to
how
much
money
oakland
county
actually
receives
from
the
boater
registrations
is
actually,
I
believe,
it's
like
25
cents,
and
given
that
we
do
have
the
largest
number
of
registered
voters
and
the
most
inland
lakes.
D
D
Last
summer
we
had
a
lot
of
constituents
reach
out
in
regards
to
concerns
of
safety
on
our
lakes
and
what
makes
oakland
county
even
more
unique
is
that
dodge
park,
which
is
a
state
park,
has
a
public
access
point
and
that
public
access
point
is
probably
one
of
the,
if
not
the
crowded,
the
most
busiest
boat
access
point
and
there's
been
lots
of
conversations
and
lots
of
concerns
with
constituents
in
regards
to
safety
on
our
lakes,
and
so
just
given
that
I
know
that
there
have
been
conversations.
D
I
know
I'm
working
with
the
marine
patrol
division
presently
to
take
a
look
at
how
we
can
further
ensure
safety
on
the
lakes
via
having
patrols
out
on
the
lakes.
More
specifically
in
those
lakes
here
in
oakland
county
that
have
demonstrated
the
higher
need
given
accidents
and
incidences
and
9-1-1
calls.
D
But
I
definitely
know
when
you
take
a
look
at
you
know
the
broader
picture,
that
there
is
some
things
that
are
going
to
have
to
you
know
start
at
the
state
and
it's
going
to
trickle
down.
So
one
of
the
things
I
just
like
to
put
on
your
radars,
I
would
love
to
have
and
pursue
a
separate
conversation
in
regards
to
what
can
we
start
doing
and
how
do
we
utilize
you
to
help
us
in
those
efforts?
Okay,.
G
D
G
D
G
D
All
righty
commissioners,
next
up,
we
will
move
on
to
item
b
of
our
regular
agenda.
Do
we
have
a
motion
for
the
clerk
register
of
deeds,
staffing
modification
in
the
clerk's
register
of
deeds,
election
division
to
continue
to
to
continue
two
sunset
positions
motion
by
commissioner
luke's
support
by
commissioner
jackson.
E
Good
good
morning,
you
all
know
joe
director
of
elections.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
taking
this
up.
I
guess
before
we
get
into
it.
I
I
don't
want
to
go
down
a
rabbit
hole
of
misinformation
and
disinformation,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
people
to
hear
facts
about
our
elections
and
signatures
on
absentee
ballot.
Envelopes
are
verified
by
local
clerks
and
their
staff.
That
is
done
when
the
ballot
is
returned
and
then
entered
into
the
program.
E
So
they
know-
and
we
have
to
have
that
information
to
see
if
we
balance
and
all
that
sort
of
stuff,
so
that
is
all
done
at
the
local
level
and
michigan
law
is
pretty
clear
as
far
as
what
tasks
are
are
for
a
local
clerk
to
do
what's
for
the
county
clerk?
What's
the
county,
clerk's
role
as
where?
Well
as
the
state's
role
a
couple
years
ago,
a
2021,
I
guess-
was
last
year
right:
yeah
2020,
21.
anyway,
you
know
a
a
new
bill.
E
A
new
law
came
into
effect
that
allowed
contracting
between
locals
and
county
clerk
to
tabulate
their
ballots
for
them.
We
have
had
a
tremendous
positive
response
from
our
local
clerks
in
us
offering
this.
In
fact,
we
have
in
like
two
weeks
we're
going
to
go,
look
at
another
location
as
a
for
a
possibility.
We
need
more
space
because
we
have
another
large
municipality
that
is
interested
in
us,
tabulating,
their
absentee
ballots
for
them.
So
we
are
happy
to
provide
this,
but
it
it
takes
a
lot.
E
It
takes
a
lot
and
especially
being
in
another
location.
We
have
to
have
our
staff
there
to
to
lead
the
pod
and
everything
else.
So
I
appreciate
that
you
know
you
originally
created
these
positions.
They
were
to
sunset.
We
are
asking
for
that
sunset
to
be
lifted
so
that
we
can
permanently.
E
This
is
not
public
comment
time.
Thank
you
so
that
we
can
continue
to
offer
this
and
partner
with
our
local
clerks
who
want
it.
We
don't
you
know
this
is
this.
They
first
ask
us
we're
not
approaching
anybody,
they
say.
Can
you
do
this
for
us
and
and
the
the
fees
that
are
incorporated?
It's
not
it's
not
a
profit
by
us.
We're
still
spending
money
on
this,
but
we
need
to
have
some
of
these
costs
covered
we're.
We
are
hiring
all
the
people
to
tabulate
the
ballots.
E
There
are
democrats
and
republicans
you
know,
and
for
november
2020
we
hired
over
300
people,
so
the
cares
act,
money
helped
with
that,
but
moving
forward.
You
know
we
we
need
this
and
we
need
the
staff.
So
thank
you
excellent.
Thank
you.
C
Commissioner
lubes,
I
know
initially
clawson
said
no.
They
weren't
interested
in
participating
in
this
program,
but
after
experiencing
the
high
number
of
ballots,
looks
like
they
chose
to
participate,
so
it
is
correct.
It
is
a
lot
of
work,
it
is
overwhelming
and
for
the
one
election
besides
the
city,
clerk
and
city
clerk's
staff,
locally
working,
a
number
of
volunteers
who,
like
the
rest
of
us,
are
aging
and
it
is
difficult
for
each
person.
So
I
appreciate
the
work
you're
doing.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Absolutely,
commissioner.
A
Julia,
thank
you.
I
do
coming
from
local.
I
know
the
volume
that
comes
in
of
the
absentee
ballots
and
I
know
what
my
cvts
have
had
to
hire
and
get
volunteers
to
handle
that
volume
with
that
being
said,
they
are
specific
times
of
year,
there's
not
an
election
every
year.
So
that's
when
they
have
to
yeah.
A
A
Well,
it
would
be
part
of
gingel's
for
lake
angeles,
but
for
so
these
two
employees
that
you
hire
to
sunset
to
help
with
the
volume.
What
do
they
do
during
the
times
when
there's
not
an
election.
I
I
There's
constant
touch
points
to
make
sure
that
they're
still
interested
in
staffing
we're
performing
this
function
three
times
a
year
in
the
odd
years,
three
times
a
year,
but
sometimes
four
times
a
year
in
the
even
year,
depending
if
it's
a
presidential
year
and
there's
a
presidential
primary
or
not
so
essentially,
as
we
ramp
up
for
an
election
say
in
may,
as
we
ramp
down
with
certification
and
any
recounts,
we
immediately
begin
ramping
into
august.
So
it's
a
continual.
I
You
know
ebb
and
flow
throughout
the
entire
year.
So
these
individuals
are
involved
in
training,
recruitment
retention,
all
the
the
payroll
services
associated
with
it
all
of
the
public
accuracy
testing,
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it
on
the
front
end
legal
notices
that
you
have
to
be
done
and
published.
So
they
are
responsible
for
managing
those
tasks
and
then,
of
course,
on
election
day
itself,
they're
involved
in
managing
what
we
call
a
pod,
which
is
a
room
or
location,
that's
specific
to
a
community
or
multiple
communities.
I
So
we
we
are
now
officially
managing
the
largest
av
board
in
the
state,
so
we're
larger
than
detroit.
We
got
rave
reviews
from
republican
and
democratic
challengers
in
november,
for
transparency,
for
accuracy
and
for
timeliness.
Because,
frankly,
if
you
think
about
it,
we
counted
over
a
hundred
thousand
ballots
closer
to
130
000
ballots
and
we're
done
and
results
posted
online
at
9,
00
p.m,
on
election
day,
and
so
we've
we've
put
a
lot
into
making
this
successful.
But
it
does
take
these
two
positions
throughout
the
year
to
ensure
that
it
is
successful.
E
And
I
can
let
me
just
add
that,
on
top
of
that,
for
those
who
don't
know,
we
are
a
passport
agency,
and
that
is
in
elections,
and
so
all
the
election
staff
are
federally
certified
passport
agents.
So
that
is
another
service
like
that
is
happening
on
a
daily
basis
that,
and
I
will
tell
you
it
takes
a
long
time
just
to
process
one
application,
so
the
more
staff
we
have.
It's
that's
more
supported
as
well.
A
I
didn't
know
you
guys
did
passports
yeah
one
other
question
so
since
this
is
some
what
of
a
federal
man
or
an
unfunded
state
mandate
to
do
the
absentee
ballots
from
the
bill
that
went
through?
Do
we
receive
any
money
from
the
state
to
hire
or
to
accommodate
the
extra
absentee
ballots,
counting
vetting.
E
No
and
that's
why
that
fee
schedules
in
their
that
well
that
we
did
when
we
had
the
the
original
resolution
is
to
recoup
some
of
those
expenditures
from
the
locals
that
they
would
be
spending
anyways
right,
so
we're
not
charging
them
anything
that
they
wouldn't
have
been
spending.
It's
just
we're
spending
it
on
their
behalf,
and
so
they
are
reimbursing
us
for
those.
D
Commissioners,
any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right,
you
see
none.
I
would
like
to
say,
madam
clerk
and
mr
rosal,
who
is
our
director
of
the
elections.
I
do
appreciate
the
important
work
you
do:
ensuring
accurate
and
transparent
elections.
So,
first
and
foremost,
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
as
you've
already
shared.
The
demand
for
these
services
have
not
decreased,
and
I
support
this
staffing
modification
resolution
for
sure.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
it
forward,
commissioners,
any
other
additional
comments,
questions.
E
I
just
wanted
one
absolutely
so
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
you
know.
After
every
single
election,
there
is
a
canvas
that
is
open
to
the
public.
Anyone
can
come
and
observe
the
board
of
canvassers.
As
you
know,
commissioners
are
chosen
by
you,
two
democrats
and
two
republicans,
and
it
really
is
an
in-depth
process
that
not
every
state
does
after
an
election
and
and
that
canvas
has
to
be
done
before
we
certify
any
race.
E
So
that's
part
of
the
process,
and
then,
after
after
that,
we
still
participate
in
two
different
kinds
of
audits
in
michigan,
oakland
county
was
part
of
the
pilot
program
for
the
procedural
audit,
where
we
are
hand
counting
ballots
where
we
are
looking
at
the
electronic
poll
books.
I
mean
it's,
it's
another
in-depth
look
and
then,
on
top
of
that,
the
risk
limiting
audit.
E
So
I
just
want
you
know,
not
every
state
does
what
we
do,
including
the
testing
before
which
there's
a
public
accuracy
test
in
every
community
that
are
testing
their
equipment
before
election
day
we've
been
doing
ours
and
I've
invited
the
media.
So
people
can
see
it's
been
on
the
news
so
and
it's
a
very
open
and
transparent
process
that
there's
so
many
opportunities
for
the
public
to
observe
so
that
they
can
learn
how
our
elections
work
and
really
the
accuracy,
security
and
fairness
of
them.
Thank
you
excellent.
Thank
you.
D
Motion
carries
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
cleric
and
mr
roselle.
Thank
you.
Next
up
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
c,
which
is
human
resources,
collective
bargaining
agreement,
fiscal
years,
2022,
23,
24
and
25
with
the
michigan
association
of
public
employees
for
non-supervisory
employees
in
children's
village.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
liu
support
by
commissioner
joliette
good
morning
good
morning?
Is
that
april,
good
morning
april,.
J
You
guys
had
a
couple
months
or
a
couple
meetings
without
me.
I'm
feeling
a
little
like
it's
good
to
see
you
so
what
you
have
before
you
is
a
a
new
union,
but
not
new
to
being
a
union,
so
it
used
to
be
gelk,
which
was
the
governmental,
employee,
labor
council,
that
is
in
the
children's
village,
and
they
went
and
changed
representation
during
this
year,
and
so
they
are
now
michigan
association
for
public
employers.
J
So
you'll
see
that's
a
little
different
but
same
people
same
unit,
so
nothing
much
has
changed
or
nothing
too
crazy
has
changed.
We
did
give
them
a
new,
updated
contract
based
on
some
of
the
mape
requirements
or
requests
and
all
have
been
vetted
by
our
labor
attorney,
but
highlights
of
their
agreement
were
a
couple
of
adjustments
for
classification,
still
kind
of
part
of
the
comp
study
and
things
of
that
nature,
you'll
notice
that
they
have
a
four-year
contract
with
two
percent
each
year
within
the
also
and
in
their
last
year.
J
One
percent
within
me
also,
we
adjusted
some
of
their
assignment
pay
for
some
more
of
the
the
youth
that
need
more
special
attention
so
that
they
would.
You
know
they
have
special
skills
that
are
needed
for
that
particular
area.
And
then
we
have
some
time,
adjustments
that
we
had
made
and
all
the
other
contracts.
They
agreed
to
the
health
care
plan
that
we
discussed
prior
to
help
with
some
cost
control,
and
then
we
have
clarified
and
confirmed
that
they
will.
J
D
Excellent
thank
you
april.
I
appreciate
a
couple
different
things
within
this
document.
The
first
one
is,
I
really
do
appreciate
the
consideration
and
actually
moving
forward
with
the
extra
hour
or
the
extra
dollar
for
premium
pay.
As
many
of
us
know,
I
know
mr
lubs
and
I,
given
the
field
that
we
do
work
in.
D
There
is
a
lot
more
success
with
employee
retention
when
you
do
have
some
additional
compensation,
especially
when
you
are
working
with
more
difficult
individuals
and
also
to
your
high
risk.
So
I
can
appreciate
that
on
so
many
levels
and
the
other
piece
that
I
really
appreciate
under
the
benefits
is
the
reimbursements.
As
we
all
know,
professional
development
and
continuing
education
credits
is
a
large
part
of
professional
licenses.
D
So
I
significantly
appreciate
that,
because
it
is
not
cheap-
and
I
know
each
field
has
different
numbers
and
requirements
so
to
see
250
dollars
to
help
offset
that
cost.
I
couldn't
support
more,
so
I
appreciate
that
commissioners,
any
other
questions
comments
in
regards
to
this
item.
Commissioner
juliette.
A
And
I
echo
commissioner
nelson's
comments
also,
yes,
the
I
know
that
the
volume
of
kids
that
they
have
at
children's
village
right
now
are
quite
special
needs
and
require
a
lot
of
attention.
Just
one
quick
question:
I
noticed
for
the
contract
for
wage
increase
for
2022.
It
looks
like
you
specialist
too,
and
the
first
cook
receive
a
four
percent
wage
increase.
Why
is
there's
different
than
the
two
percent.
J
J
D
Okay,
thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you,
commissioner
april.
I
do
just
have
one
additional
question.
I
did
note
so
I
from
my
understanding,
there's
approximately
120
employees
and
there's
currently
20
full-time
positions
that
are
vacant.
What
efforts
are
being
done
right
now
to
try
to
fill
those
vacancies?
I
know
it's
a
tricky
time
right
now
across
many
different
sectors
to
hire
individuals.
But
what
are
we
doing
at
this
moment
to
help
fill
those
vacancies
because
it's
so
important,
as
I'm
sure
we
all
know,
especially
at
children's
village,.
J
Well,
actually
to
commissioner
joliet's
comment.
That
was
some
of
the
reason
why
we
raised
the
position.
The
percent
for
the
youth
specialist
in
first
cook.
Is
there
one
of
our
lower
paid
employees
as
well
as
we're
working
with
michigan
works
and
veterans
as
well
to
try
to
get
people
engaged
in
that
as
there
is
not
educate,
there's
not
a
huge
education
program
that
is
part
of
a
lot
of
ceus
and
credits,
but
not
necessarily
having
to
have
a
bachelor's
degree
of
that
nature.
J
So
we're
focusing
on
some
of
those
and
then
just
everything
that
we
possibly
can.
As
for
everybody
in
america
right
now,
it's
crazy,
but
that
was
actually
one
of
the
catalysts
for
the
our
youth
specialists
are
actually
our
boots
on
the
ground.
Folks,
within
that
department
and
so
they're
very
critical
to
what
we
do,
and
so
it
was
really
important
that
we
had
good
and
fair
competitive
wages
to
get
them
in
the
door.
Excellent.
D
D
Next
up
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
d,
which
is
parks
and
recreation
resolution
approving
the
oakland
county
parks
and
recreation,
2022
rules
and
regulations.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
juliette
support
by
commissioner
gershenson?
I
believe
we've
got
melissa
with
us
this
morning
so
good
morning,
melissa.
K
K
Okay,
sometimes
I
have
to
turn
it
off
and
turn
it
back
on
sure.
Okay,
yes,
so
this
is
the
annual
kind
of
re-look
at
and
reapproval
of
our
park
rules
and
regulations.
There
are
no
significant
changes
to
the
rules
for
this
year.
No,
you
know
structural
changes
to
what
we're
doing
and
what
we're
enforcing.
This
was
really
an
opportunity
to
work
with
corporation
council
to
do
some
language
cleanup
and
some
sort
of
consolidation
and
reorganization,
so
that
things
flow
a
little
bit
better.
K
So
nothing
really
notable
to
point
out
except
unfortunately,
I
did
notice
one
small
error
this
morning.
So
if
we
could
ask
for
approval
this
morning
with
one
slight
correction
in
section
11
number
five
that
talks
about
e-bikes
within
the
parks,
it
should
be
class.
Two
and
three
e-bikes
are
not
allowed
on
the
park
trails
and
the
class
two
somehow
accidentally
got
deleted
so
class
two
and
class
three
e-bikes
are
not
allowed
on
our
trails,
but
class.
One
are
melissa.
K
I
can
yeah
so
there's
three
classes
and
we
follow
the
same
rules
that
the
dnr
and
the
metro
parks
follow
just
for
consistency,
but
there's
three
classes
of
e-bikes
class.
One
essentially
you
have
to
you,
have
to
be
pedaling
in
order
for
the
throttle
to
kick
in
and
they
max
out
at
20
miles
an
hour.
So
that
is
what
we
allow
across
the
park
system.
Class
two
doesn't
require
you
to
pedal
in
order
for
it
to
go
forward.
K
So
a
little
less
control
and
they
can
go
a
little
faster,
so
we
don't
allow
those
and
then
class.
Three
is
also
pedal,
assisted
but
maxes
out
at
a
higher
speed
of
28
miles,
an
hour
which
is
a
little
fast
for
our
trails,
but
we
don't
allow
those
either.
K
D
Commissioners,
any
questions
or
comments,
commissioner
gershon,
so.
C
D
No
problem,
thank
you
for
that
question
and
clarification.
Commissioner,
gershenson
commissioners.
Any
other
comments
in
regards
to
this
item.
Seeing
none
roll
call,
please
prompt
the
vote.
D
Motion
carries.
Thank
you,
melissa,
guys.
We
move
on
to
item
number
e,
I'm
going
to
keep
you
on
the
screen.
Next
up
on
item
e,
we've
got
parks
and
recreation
contract,
renewal
of
candidate
conservation
agreement
with
the
michigan
department
of
natural
resources
for
the
eastern
rattlesnake,
I'm
gonna.
Let
you
fill
in
that
m
word
melissa
because
I
don't
want
to
say
it
incorrectly,
but
do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
leave
support
by
commissioner
joliet,
all
right,
floor's
yours,
melissa,.
K
We
just
say:
emr:
there
are
a
lot
of
acronyms
in
this.
I
apologize
for
that,
but
so
this
is
the
renewal
of
essentially
our
certificate
of
inclusion
with
the
dnr's
candidate
conservation
agreement
with
assurances.
K
That's
that
ccaa
that
you
see
in
there
essentially
saying
that
we
will
continue
to
apply
with
our
eastern
massasauga
rattlesnake
implementation
plan,
otherwise
known
as
the
mrip,
which
essentially
just
talks
about
the
different
ways
in
which
we
manage
our
lands
the
times
of
year,
that
we
do
things
that
the
the
methods
that
we
use
to
manage
the
lands
are
best
practices
and
essentially
ensures
that
as
long
as
we're
following
along
and
doing
what
we
said,
we
were
going
to
do
on
our
managed
lands.
K
It
essentially
keeps
us
out
of
trouble
with
the
dnr
and
u.s
fish
and
wildlife
if
we
accidentally
take
or
kill
massasauga
rattlesnake,
while
we're
doing
that
maintenance
of
our
property.
So
it's
a
good
thing.
We
have
been
in
it
the
last
five
years.
This
is
just
a
renewal.
The
only
change
that's
different
this
year
is
we
did
acquire
a
few
years
ago,
two
small
parcels
up
at
addison.
K
D
Excellent,
thank
you,
melissa,
commissioners.
Questions
comments
in
regards
to
this
item
already
see
not.
I
do
have
one
question
melissa.
I
I
read
in
there
that
the
breeding
populations
of
stakes
are
confirmed
at
two
of
our
parks.
What
parks
are
those
as
somebody
who
does
not
like
snakes?
It
just
gives
me
an
additional
heads
up.
So
what
parks
have
we
identified?.
L
D
D
D
The
assurance
commissioners
see
that
there's
no
further
discussion
on
this
item.
Roll
call
prompt
the
vote.
Please.
D
Five
yay
zero
name
motion
carries
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
melissa
and
keegan.
Thank
you.
Next
up.
Item
number
f,
which
is
human
resources
resolution
implementary
implementing
the
salary
administration
plan;
first
quarterly
report
for
fiscal
year.
2022.
Do
we
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
loop
support
by
commissioner
jackson
good
morning?
Heather?
Oh
no,.
B
I'm
here
in
person,
you
are
good
morning,
thank
you
for
allowing
this
on
the
agenda
this
morning.
So
the
report
in
front
of
you
encompasses
all
of
the
salary
grade
review,
job
studies
that
were
conducted
through
december
of
2021,
and
these
were
changes
in
job
responsibilities
that
resulted
from
the
the
visa
that
was
offered
last
year.
C
Welcome
it's
nice
to
see
you
in
person
before
we
start.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I'm
very
proud
of
our
team
kristen
and
your
your
support,
mike
andrews,
amy
and
patty
in
the
depth
of
questions
that
you
asked
and
sent
out
to
all
of
us
and
heather.
Your
responses
were
amazing,
too,
really
appreciated
it,
because
so
many
of
us
do
not
have
an
hr
background.
C
B
So
an
employee
or
a
department
has
the
right
to
request
a
review
of
the
salary
grade
or
classification
and
as
part
of
that
request,
they
we
ask
that
they
give
us
information
on
what
it
is
about
their
job.
That
has
changed
right
since
the
last
time
it
was
looked
at
and
then
we
evaluate
to
see
if
there
is
significant
enough
change
and
if
so
we
proceed
with
that
study.
B
C
D
Commissioner,
can
I
just
ask
a
question
off
of
the
question
that
you
just
asked
so,
given
that
there
is
a
review,
does
that
review
take
place
within
the
department
or
is
there
another
subgroup
that
reviews
this
or
is
it
once
an
employee
fills
out
the
document?
Does
it
go
to
review
to
somebody
higher
up
within
the
department,
or
does
it
go
to
a
review
for
it
like?
Is
there
a
review
committee
or
how
is
that.
B
B
B
B
C
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
finish
up
that.
I
love
that
we
give
employees
this
opportunity,
especially
with
the
amount
of
employees
that
we
have.
It
would
be
very
easy
to
miss
some
definitions,
so
I'm
glad
you're.
The
process
is
including
input
directly
from
the
employees,
but
then
that
there
is
a
check.
B
D
A
I
thank
you.
I
appreciate
all
of
these
specific
budgetary
impacts
being
at
general
proprietary
and
special
revenue
that
helps
make
things
very
clear
and
I've
been
kind
of
learning
more
about
the
proprietary
funds,
and
I
see
that
there
you
broke
it
down.
It
looks
like
a
12
000
impact
in
22
and
then
a
21
thousand
dollar,
and
I'm
assuming
that
those
have
been
reviewed
to
make
sure
that
those
proprietary
funds
can
handle
that
sustained.
A
H
Thank
you
thank
you
for
your
presentation
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
on,
and
it's
concerning,
one
of
the
new
positions
created
local.
H
I'm
sorry
thank
you,
I'm
always
guilty
of
that.
I
apologize
it's.
The
local
administrator
of
a
local
business
development
position
so
question
about
that,
because
you
know
I've
been
recently
introduced
to
that
operation
and
the
rollout
of
it.
This
is
the
position.
That's
going
to
be
the
manager
of
the
small
business
facilitators
that
are
going
to
be
coming
out
to
the
community.
B
The
first
line,
supervision
of
the
team.
H
H
Oh
okay,
this
right
here
this
one!
Okay!
So
would
you
say
that
there
are
other
employees
outside
of
the
local
business
facilitators,
the
small
business
facilitators
that
are
going
to
be
coming
out
to
the
community
that
are
going
to
report
to
this
position?
Is
that
what
you're
saying
currently
yeah?
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you
I'm
just
asking,
because
I
know
that
whole
operation
is
brand
new
and
just
trying
to
discern
how.
D
C
Yeah
heather,
can
you
just
explain
to
me
proprietary
funds.
D
Excellent,
that's
fine.
I
think
we'll
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
that
with
our
next
agenda
item.
That's
fine!
Excellent!
Thank
you.
I
know
the
one
thing
I
just
wanted
to
see
clarification
on.
I
think
I
discovered
the
response,
but
it
did
throw
me
for
a
loop
initially
when
I
read
the
new
classification
of
legal
secretary
to
legal
secretary
that
threw.
E
D
But
I
think
I
looked
on
the
schedule
b
sheet
and
from
my
understanding,
so
it's
basically
just
changing
the
classification
of
legal
secretary
to
legal
secretary
prosecuting
attorney
correct
is
that
okay,
it
took
me
a
minute
to
you
know.
I
know
the
staff
was
very
helpful
because
I'm
like
what
the
heck
is
a
legal
secretary
to
a
legal
secretary.
B
D
D
D
Next
up,
we
have
our
final
item
g,
which
is
human
resources
resolution
for
an
additional
two
percent
general
salary
increase
in
fiscal
year.
2022.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
joliet's
support
by
commissioner
jackson
this
morning,
we've
got
mr
kyle
jenn
with
us
at
april
so
good
morning.
L
Good
morning,
I
think
I'm
going
to
kick
things
off.
I
think
this
is
the
first
opportunity
I've
had
to
appear
before
this
committee,
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
this
item
just
to
kind
of
back
up
and
and
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
In
terms
of
context,
you'll
recall,
last
year,
as
the
budget
was
adopted,
there
was
a.
L
General
salary
increase
approved
for
non-represented
employees
of
one
and
a
half
percent
for
the
fiscal
year.
We're
in
right
now
and
then
ape
as
as
april
has
been,
has
been
negotiating
agreements
with
all
our
unions.
You
know,
for
the
most
part,
it's
been
either
one
and
a
half
percent
or
two
percent,
depending
on
you
know
the
option
to
take
an
additional
457
match.
L
L
You
know
at
the
end
of
last
calendar
year
and
continuing
into
this
year,
so
we've
taken
a
look
at
that.
You
know
from
a
compensation
perspective
as
well
as
a
property
tax
perspective.
I
mean
we
know
that
the
the
increase
in
inflation
has
ramifications
for
our
employees
in
terms
of
their
ability
to
you
know,
to
pay
their
household
costs
and
and
from
an
employer
perspective.
You
know
from
a
competitive
competitiveness
standpoint.
L
You
know
we
worked
with
you
to
adopt
the
compensation
plan
a
year
and
a
half
ago
to
make
our
wages.
You
know
more
competitive
with
other
comparable
employers,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
losing
a
lot
of
ground
there.
L
Just
for
a
few
comparisons,
you
know
the
state
of
michigan
last
october,
provided
their
employees
an
increase
of
two
percent
plus
a
one
percent
lump
sum
and
a
and
are
scheduled
to
do
actually
a
full
five
percent.
This
upcoming
october.
You
know
just
as
one
point
in
terms
of
an
employer
that
we
compete
with
in
some
areas
in
terms
of
private
sector
wages,
private
sector,
wage
growth
in
michigan
last
calendar
year
was
six
percent.
L
You
know,
and
in
particular
we've
seen
you
know,
we've
seen
the
automakers
do
do
large
profit
sharing
bonuses,
as
obviously
one
of
our
major
employment
bases
in
the
area.
So
with
all
that
context,
what
we
are
recommending
is
is
an
additional
2
base
increase
starting
april
9th,
so
that
would
bring
bring
us
to
a
total
of
three
and
a
half
percent
for
the
year
for
non-represented
employees.
L
You
know
april
would
be
working
with
the
unions
to
to
incorporate
that
you
know
into
amended
versions
of
all
their
agreements,
as
well
as
the
agreements
with
the
unions
that
are
still
being
worked
through,
so
the
cost
there
across
all
county
funds
for
the
current
fiscal
year
that
we're
in
right
now
is
4.25
million
dollars,
because
it
only
applies
to
the
the
last
six
months
of
the
year
as
we
go
into
next
year.
The
cost
would
be
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
above
what's
in
the
adopted
budget
for
next
year.
L
L
Significant
increase
in
estimated
property
tax
revenues
for
two
reasons:
one
is
inflation
because
inflation
you
know
affects
you,
know
the
amounts
that
taxable
values
can
go
up
under
proposal
a
and
how
much
we
can
capture
prior
to
any
headley
rollback
and
then
we're
seeing
very
strong
taxable
value
growth.
You
know
with
the
hot
housing
market
last
year
the
data's
come
in
with
growth
over
six
percent.
L
You
know
for
the
assessments
that
will
then
be
made
this
year
so
conservatively,
I'm
estimating
that
property
tax
revenues
will
be
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
higher
than
what's
in
the
current
budget
for
the
current
year
and
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
higher
for
next
year.
We'll
continue
to
look
at
those
data
and
be
bringing
you
know,
kind
of
more
official
estimates
to
the
finance
committee
next
month.
As
we
kick
off
the
budget
process,
you
know,
but
those
are.
Those
are
conservative,
estimates
that
we're
comfortable
with
at
this
point.
L
L
L
You
know
whether
that
needs
to
be
adjusted
as
we
go
through
the
budget
process
and
then
the
last
thing
I
would
just
know
which
is
also
noted
in
the
resolution.
This
only
applies
to
to
to
union
or
non-represented
merit
employees.
It
does
not
apply
to
elected
officials
and,
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Excellent.
D
D
D
D
L
Sure
so
you
know
the
the
general
fund
budget
is
what
we
tend
to
focus
on
and
in
terms
of
making
sure
it's
in
balance,
you
know
funded
by
property,
tax
revenues
and
revenue
sharing
and
other
you
know,
sort
of
operational
dollars.
L
Our
proprietary
funds
in
some
cases
relate
to
the
general
fund
and
some
in
some
case
are
free
standing,
but
it's
where
we've
got
a
specific
set
of
operations
and
a
specific
set
of
revenue
sources.
There's
really
two
categories
of
proprietary
funds.
So
there's
internal
service
funds.
You
know
which
is
like
our
it
fund,
our
fringe
benefit
fund.
You
know
where
there's
a
specific
set
of
costs
and
those
costs
then
get
charged
out
to
internal
customers.
L
Primarily
so
you
know
our
it
fund,
then
you
know
charges
each
department
for
the
it
costs
associated
with
that
department
each
year
you
know
through
a
combination
of
general
fund
and
other.
You
know
other
sources
that
each
department
has
has
available
to
it.
L
The
second
category
of
proprietary
fund
is
an
enterprise
fund,
which
is
you
know,
designed
to
be
self-supporting,
so
the
parks
fund
is
is,
is
a
proprietary
fund.
You
know
all
of
the
wrc
funds
are
proprietary
enterprise
funds.
The
airport
fund
is
an
enterprise
fund.
You
know
those
are
all
funds,
you
know
where
there's
there's
no
or
very
limited
general
fund
support
and
they're
designed
to
you
know
basically
operate
like
businesses
in
terms
of
being
self-supporting.
L
You
know
special
revenue
funds
are
are,
basically
you
know,
external
grant,
supported
funds,
you
know
where
you've
got
a
grant
and
there's
very
specific.
You
know
purposes,
and
you
know
it's
not
tied
in
with
with
the
the
more
discretionary
or
general
operations
of
the
county.
D
D
D
But
my
first
question
is:
how
will
proprietary
departments
special
revenue,
so
our
grant
programs
there's
a
slew
of
grant
programs
from
our
health
department
to
the
prosecuting,
I
mean
we
have
so
many
grant
funded
programs
here
in
oakland
county.
So
my
first
question
is:
how
will
proprietary
departments
and
special
revenue
programs
and
grant
programs?
How
will
they
absorb
the
cost,
and
it's
even
more
concerning
that
really
from
my
understanding-
is
about
five
and
a
half
months
doing
this
mid-year.
D
So
these
departments
don't
necessarily
have
a
full
year
to
help
offset
some
of
the
extra
costs
that
are
coming
because
from
my
understanding,
these
proprietary
departments
are
going
to
have
to
absorb
the
cost.
So
my
first
question
is:
how
how
will
these
proprietary
departments
absorb
the
cost,
I'm
not
talking
general
fund.
I
don't
find
I
understand,
but
I'm
more
honed
in
on
proprietary
and
special
revenue.
L
Right,
you
know,
I
think,
the
the
the
answer
varies
by
fund.
You
know
so
for
for
a
couple
key
examples
you
know,
the
parks
fund
you
know
is
is
is
more
than
50
percent
funded
by
property
tax
revenue,
so
they
they
will
see
the
same
impact
on
their
property
tax
revenues
that
the
general
fund
is
seeing.
L
You
know
so
you
know
the
proportion
you
know
should
work
the
same
as
it
is
on
the
general
fund
and,
I
think,
will
actually
be
a
little
more
favorable,
because
a
lower
percentage
of
their
budget
is
is
compensation,
as
opposed
to
the
general
fund
budget.
With
the
case
of
the
wrc
funds.
You
know,
I
think
they'll
have
to
be
looking
at
their
operations
and-
and
you
know,
as
they
work
through
their
rate,
setting
processes,
we
did.
We
did
take
a
look
at
their
funds
across
all
of
their
funds.
L
Compensation
only
makes
up
about
20
percent
of
their
costs.
You
know
so.
A
a
two
percent
increase
in
compensation
is
not
a
two
percent
increase
in
cost.
It's
actually,
you
know
less
than
half
a
percent
in
their
costs
in
terms
of
internal
service
funds.
You
know
those
are,
you
know
there
are
also
rates
set
there.
L
You
know
there'll
be
a
little
bit
of
a
lag,
because
you
kind
of
look
back
at
past
experience,
so
there
will
have
to
be
an
adjustment
and
those
rates
going
forward,
we're
actually
in
the
process
now
of
of
talking
to
each
of
the
owners
of
those
internal
service
funds
internally,
you
know
taking
a
look
at
at
where
they
have
room
to
make
adjustments.
L
Is
is,
is
really
healthy.
You
know
special
revenue
funds
in
terms
of
grants.
Again,
it's
it's
a
case-by-case
basis
in
some
cases.
I
think
that
there's
that
there
will
be
room
within
the
grants
to
absorb
this.
In
some
cases
we
may
have
to
provide
a
small
amount
of
general
fund
to
kind
of
cover
the
rest
of
this
year.
You
know
and
then
they
should
have
the
ability
to
to
build
those
costs
into
the
grant
applications
going
forward.
So
I
mean
I
think
overall,
we
think
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
L
You
know
for
our
employees
the
right
thing
to
do
to
stay
competitive
and,
like
all
the
other
costs
that
the
county
faces,
you
know
we're
gonna
have
to
manage
those
those
costs
within
each
of
those
funds.
Mr.
D
John,
is
it
fair
to
say,
though,
that
proprietary
departments
will
need
to
adjust
other
operating
expenses
and
or
make
rate
adjustments?
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
fair
statement
to
make
so.
D
We
think
about
you
know,
making
rate
adjustments
that
could
potentially
be
at
the
expense
of
taxpayers.
Right.
I
might
ask
that
wrc
is
a
good
example
right,
because
sewer
and
water
and
our
drains,
potentially
that
could
increase
the
rates
that
we
as
residents,
who
benefit
from
these
services,
may
have
to
feel
out
of
our
pockets.
Is
that
a
fair
statement
to
make
that
that's
a
potential,
because.
L
L
D
Okay,
I
appreciate
that,
so
that's
the
the
the
question
I
had
surrounding
the
impact
of
not
just
apartments,
but
also
it
trickles
then
into
our
communities.
My
next
question
is
for
the
sheriff's
office.
We've
just
recently
passed
a
three-year
contract
with
our
sheriff's
office.
D
So
will
the
cities,
villages
and
townships
who
contract
with
the
sheriff's
department
who's
going
to
eat
that
additional
cost?
Is
it
going
to
be
at
now
the
expense
of
our
local
cvts,
or
is
the
county
going
to
absorb
that
extra
cost,
given
that
those
three
year
contracts?
D
I
know
that
there's
current
negotiations
happening
right
now
with
the
sheriffs,
but
for
the
contracts
that
we've
just
passed
for
the
next
three
years,
who's
going
to
absorb
those
costs
are
communities
or
is
oakland
county
going
to
absorb
that,
and
if
so,
is
it
coming
out
of
the
general
fund.
L
Sure
so
you
know
some
contacts
there.
Those
contracts
as
you're
aware
were
were
were
entered
into
and
renewed
late
last
year
to
take
effect
this
year
going
forward
because
the
the
contracts
with
the
unions
were
open
and
are
still
open.
We
had
to
make
some
reasonable
estimates
on
on
compensation.
L
L
You
know,
as
part
of
those
estimates
so
specific
to
this
two
percent.
Those
contracts
really
already
cover
those
costs.
L
D
Are
you
referencing
the
placeholder,
because
I
know
that
there
was
communication
sent
out,
but
in
regards
to
this
place,
holder
and
one
of
the
questions
that
we
did
not
receive?
A
clarifying
answer
on
is:
is
the
placeholder
at
least
two
percent
does
it
is?
It
is
enough
to
cover
these
now
additional
costs
for
fiscal.
J
I'm
going
to
take
that
so
we're
in
the
middle
of
negotiation,
which
is
hard
to
do
when
you
already
have
three-year
contract.
So
as
of
right
now
we
haven't
negotiated
that
full
contract.
So
if
you
were
to
keep
everything
status
quo,
then
it's
covered.
It
is
it's
it's
covered,
but
we're
still
in
negotiations,
so
there
may
be
some
slight
adjustments
or
whatnot,
but
that
actually
won't
take
a
place
until
the
do.
We
go
into
negotiation
so.
J
Right
so
they
might
their
total
compensation
might
be
in
somewhere
different
or
whatnot.
So,
but
for
the
sake
of
argument.
Yes,
we
have
a
four
two
and
a
two
for
their
total
contracts
for
the
next
three
years
and
those
are
locked
in
and
so
they
would
not.
The
new
the
cities
would
not
get
a
new
contract
until
25.
I
believe,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
okay,
that's
funny.
D
D
Actually,
my
final
question
is:
why
wasn't
a
budget
amendment
attached
with
this
item
and
I'm
more
concerned
really?
D
Yes,
I
have
raised
some
questions
that
are
of
concern,
but
what's
even
more
concerning
is
that
there
was
no
budget
amendment
attached
to
this
item
and
from
my
understanding
it's
anticipated
that
a
budget
amendment
will
be
provided
in
april.
So
could
you
help
us
understand
why
a
budget
amendment
was
not
attached
with
this
resolution?
First,
please.
L
Sure
so
you
know
we
have,
you
know
obviously
provided
the
the
estimates
on
what
the
total
cost
is
going
to
be
and
ensure
that
those
are
balanced
out
by
by
higher
expected
revenues.
L
You
know
there
is
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
a
budget
amendment
that
affects
every
personnel
line
in
the
entire
budget.
From
a
timing
perspective,
we
thought
a
it
was
important.
You
know
to
to
provide
this
increase
to
employees
now
as
as
they're
facing
the
higher
costs
and
then
b.
As
you
may
be
aware,
the
financial
side
of
the
workday
it
system
is
going
live
in
early
may.
L
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
this
got
processed
in
the
payroll
system
and
and
didn't
didn't,
interfere
with
that
go
live
and
I
was
removing
all
of
our
financial
data
and
transactions
from
one
system
to
another
system.
So
because
of
the
complexity,
the
budget
amendment
there
just
wasn't
time
to
to
prepare
the
whole
thing.
You
know
we'll
absolutely
bring
that
to
the
finance
committee.
L
D
C
I
want
to
clarify
who
the
2
percent
is
affecting
sounds
like
with
union
agreements
and
addressing
our
part-time
and
seasonal
employees.
The
only
exception
will
be
the
circuit
court,
judges,
road,
commission,
members
and
elected
officials,
so
in
effect
every
employee
will
be
able
to
utilize
the
two
percent
increase.
J
Can
I
comment
on
that
question
sure
just
for
clarification.
All
of
the
union
contracts
that
are
have
been
agreed
to
have
a
me
also
clausen
or
an
e2
clause,
so
those
would
be
automatic.
We
are
still
in
negotiations
with
the
sheriff's
unit
and
command
and
ibew,
and
so
I
will
use
that
as
part
of
my
parameters.
If
that
makes
sense,
when
we
go
into
negotiation.
C
Excellent,
so,
with
the
exception
of
who
you're
negotiating
with
now,
every
employee
will
have
that.
So
it's
are
there
any
departments,
then
that
would
have
to
make
a
budget
cut
to
make
the
six-month
raise
happen
this
year,
okay
and
last
question
any
consideration
to
utilizing
this
as
a
bonus
versus
a
raise.
Would
that
be
a
bit
more
beneficial?
And
I
want
to
say
our
staff
are
our
greatest
strength
and
assets
in
their.
J
Yeah,
so
can
I,
if
I
can
come
on
and
now
a
couple
of
things,
one
of
the
things
that
kyle
and
I
had
talked
a
lot
about
about
is
this:
is
this
just
a
a
moment
in
time
where
we
have
to
kind
of
get
through,
but
we're
not
seeing
that
we're,
seeing
that's
going
to
be
steady
and
that
this
is
going
to
be
somewhat
the
new
floor?
If
that
makes
sense?
So,
yes,
we
could
do
a
bonus,
it'd
be
a
one-time
adjustment,
but
then
we
will
then
continue
to
be
behind.
J
So
what
will
happen
is.
Is
we'll
start
to
get
lag
behind
the
market
if
you
will,
as
it
relates
to
salaries
for
out
for,
for
you
know,
retaining
and
attracting
your
employees,
so
that
was
the
two
questions
that
we
kind
of
had.
Is
this
just
kind
of
a
blip
for
a
minute?
We
were
watching
it?
J
That's
why
we're
a
little
kind
of
waiting
to
see
where
that
would
go
and
how
that
hit
taxable
value,
and
all
of
that
kind
of
you
know
bigger
picture
thing,
and
so
we
could
do
that,
but
then
become
we
become
behind
then,
and
so
now
we'll
be
playing
catch
up
throughout
the
next
few
years.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
commissioner
lubes.
You
did
mention
something
in
regards
to
like
all
employees.
The
one
question
I
do
have
is
noted
in
the
resolution
in
the
last
or
the
first
now
therefore
be
resolved
clause,
it's
very
specific
of
stating
that
the
the
individuals
who
are
included
and
excluded.
I
would
like
to
get
some
clarification
because
the
way
the
resolution
reads
in
that
now
therefore
be
resolved
clause.
D
D
I
believe
heather
mason
made
some
additional.
I
didn't
catch
that
sorry
information
and
I
a
would
like
to
confirm
that
there
are
elected
officials
who
are
included
and
I'll
start
there,
because,
if
there's
a
difference,
we
need
to
that's.
B
Correct
so
in
the
the
fiscal
year
budget
process,
when
the
hr
department
brings
forward
the
salary
package
for
to
this
committee
to
approve
the
county
executive,
doesn't
make
a
recommendation
as
to
the
salary
increase
for
the
elected
officials.
D
D
So
those
are
the
six
positions
that
I'm
aware
of,
and
I
just
want
to
get
some
clarification
because,
as
the
resolution
reads,
as
is
it
makes
it
out
like
there
are
no
elected
officials
getting
or
being
a
part
of
this
two
percent
increase,
and
I
would
like
to
just
make
sure
that
a
we
get
clarification
and
b
that
that
is
represented
correctly
and
accurately.
In
the
resolution.
B
Okay,
so
what
this
now
therefore
indicates
is
that
that
these
groups
down
here
is
the
county
executive,
isn't
making
a
recommendation
for
those
you
do.
You
can
write
in
a
a
be
it
further
or
whereas.
D
So
I
guess,
can
we
get
some
clarification
because
I
don't
under
I'm?
Yes,
okay,
I
hear
the
words
you're
saying,
but
I
don't
understand
it
because
it
does.
I
still
read
the
resolution,
as
is
as
is
it
it's
excluding
elected
officials,
yet
at
the
same
time,
I
believe
there
are
six
elected
officials
who
be
impacted,
so
michael
andrews
is
one
of
our
amazing
board.
Analysts
so
help
us
out
here.
Please
mike.
M
And
I
think
I
I
might
get
consensus
here
is
that
I
believe
it's
because.
D
He's
speaking
to
the
mike
police.
M
Yeah,
I
believe
so
I
believe
it's
by
statute,
that
the
board
of
commissioners
has
the
authority
to
set
the
wages
and
rates
of
the
elected
officials
under
act.
139.
M
But
the
resolution
as
it's
presented
to
you
is
correct
and
that
it
would
be
excluded
from
the
two
percent.
D
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
clarification,
so
it
does
look
like
I
know.
Heather.
Are
you
familiar
with
what
we're
referencing
the
email,
because
I
believe
you
were
the
one
who
supplied
the
answers?
Yes
and
within
that
it
did
make
it
out,
as
if
the
lago
committee
would
be
determining
six
elected
officials,
so
that
is
incorrect
right.
D
And
the
reason
why
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
right
information
is
because
if
it
is
a
lago
responsibility
and
duty,
I
want
to
make
sure
all
committee
members
are
aware
of
what
our
duties
are.
So
please.
M
D
I
appreciate
that
clarification.
Thank
you
everyone.
So
I'd
like
to
move
on
now
to
commissioner
julia,
followed
by
commissioner
gershon.
A
Thank
you
all
right
there's.
This
is
a
lot
of
information.
So
if
I
have
this
correctly,
there's
two
things:
we're
trying
to
address
here:
inflation
and
keeping
competitive
salaries-
and
this
is
somewhat
being
motivated
by
an
excess
and
property
tax.
So
we're
able
to
to
pass
this
on
and
I
recognize
the
inflation
and
property
tax
coming
from
local
at
the
time
the
last
recession
hit
we
were
at
quite
we
were
in
the
rears
in
the
red
because,
as
you
all
know,
the
headley
amendment
doesn't
have
a
bottom.
A
A
I
see
it
would
leave
us
behind,
but,
as
noted
in
your
presentation,
many
private
industry,
what
or
a
lot
of
private
industry
is
rather
doing
bonuses,
because
you
don't
want
to
over
promise
a
payroll
that
you
can't
keep
up
and
you
don't
want
to
have
to
do
a
pay
cut,
as
happened
in
the
recession,
layoffs.
That
kind
of
thing,
so
for
that
reason
I
can't
I
can't
support
this,
because
the
headley
amendment
is
real
and
I've
seen
what
it
can
do
and
I
don't
want
to
rely
on
that
as
a
revenue
source.
D
C
Yes,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
explaining
the
the
budget,
pockets
and
I'd
love
to
request
a
sheet
that
that
we
could
have
that.
We
could
refer
to
I'm
very
concerned
about
many
of
the
grants
that
our
health
department
is
involved
in
because
I
work
so
closely
with
them.
So
I
would
want
some
sort
of
assurance
that
that
that
many
of
their
grants,
which
they're
working
so
hard
on
in
so
many
of
the
communities,
wouldn't
that
they
would
have
the
ability
to
come
to
us
and
say
we're
short
here.
C
L
Absolutely
you
know
we
do
have
a
current
process
and
and
a
small
amount
of
funds
reserved
in
the
budget
for
what's
called
voluntary
grant
match
in
a
case
where
a
grant
you
know
it
doesn't
cover
a
service
that
the
administration
you
know
and
the
board
deems
to
be
critical.
L
L
If
I
could
just
comment,
you
know
in
terms
of
the
economic
downturn
piece,
you
know,
we
certainly
are
are
constantly
keeping
an
eye
on
on
economic
indicators.
You
know.
Last
year
we
went
through
the
process
of
revising
the
county's
fund
balance
policy,
and
you
know
we're
grateful
to
have
unanimous
support
from
the
board
in
terms
of
revising
that
fund
by
fund
balance
policy,
to
strengthen
it
and
make
it
clearer
in
terms
of
having
a
very
you
know,
protected
and
healthy
rainy
day
fund.
L
That
would
help
us
manage
you
know
through
the
effects
of
an
economic
downturn.
You
know
and
ensure
we
didn't
have
to
make
major.
You
know
changes
to
them
to
to
employee
compensation
levels
when
and
if
that
occurs.
So
you
know,
that's
kind
of
our
view
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
overall
budget
risks
is
we're
driving
towards
structural
balance.
H
Chair
mr
jin,
in
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
you
gave
us
information
about
other
governmental
bodies
that
have
have
gone
through
this
initiative
and
percentages
on
what
they
are
asking
for.
Could
you
just
give
give
me
that
information
again.
L
Sure
so
I
think
the
two
key
pieces-
you
know
the
state
of
michigan
again
last
october
for
their
employees
did
a
two
percent
general
increase
with
a
one
percent
lump
sum,
so
three
percent
total
and
then
are
scheduled
and
approved
to
provide
a
five
percent
increase
starting
this
october.
First,
so
that's
kind
of
one
key
public
sector
comparison
and
then
you
know
across
all
the
the
full
private
sector
in
michigan
last
year,
private
sector
wage
growth
was
6.1
percent.
D
L
So
I
mean
a
couple
things
there.
You
know,
first
of
all,
the
in
terms
of
the
projected
increase
in
property
tax
revenues.
We're
not
utilizing
all
of
that
for
this
two
percent
increase.
So
there
will
be.
You
know
a
portion
of
that
revenue
that
can
be
applied.
L
You
know
to
closing
our
structural
gap,
I
mean.
Secondly,
I
think
we're
trying
to
take
a
balanced
approach.
If
you
go
back
to
december
of
2020,
it
was
a
three-tiered
plan.
You
know
to
implement
the
compensation
plan
to
offer
the
v-sip
and
then
to
look
for
workforce
efficiencies
over
time.
So
I
think
we're
trying
to
balance.
L
You
know
ensuring
that
we're
we're
staying
competitive
on
the
compensation
piece.
You
know,
obviously
the
v-sip
departures
are
still
occurring
and
there
will
be
a
level
of
workforce
reduction
still
needed,
which
you
know
which
we'll
be
evaluating
during
the
budget
process
and
working
with
you
on
you
know,
after
after
we
present
our
recommendation
july
1st,
so
I
think,
in
my
view-
and
I
think
april
would
agree.
You
know
this
is
part
of
taking
a
balanced
approach
to
reduce
our
workforce,
but
also
make
sure
we're
paying
them.
D
I
appreciate
your
response:
there's
a
lot
of
words,
a
lot
of
information,
but
it
does
still
sound
like
we
will
be
expecting
departments
to
continue
to
make
some
cuts.
I
mean
so
plan
is
still
the
same.
It's
yes!
So,
regardless
of
this
cost
of
living
increase,
we
are
still
moving
forward
with
expecting,
but
our
departments
to
continue
making
budget
cuts.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Lubes.
J
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
At
this
time
I
I
do
appreciate
april
and
kenya
both
being
here
to
to
walk
us
through
some
of
these
things.
I
am
going
to
recommend
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
postpone
this
item
until
the
next
lego
meeting
and
the
the
biggest
reason.
Why
is
I
want
to
postpone
this
until
we
get
a
budget
amendment
attached
to
this
resolution?
D
J
The
ramifications
are
different,
depending
on
what
you're
talking
about
so
doing.
A
budget
amendment
is
incredibly
time
intensive.
So
that
is
a
little
bit
like
when
the
comp
study
came.
We
didn't
do
that
until
we
knew
that
there
was
support
for
that
percent
increase.
So
it
really
because
it's
really
more
about
the
the
time
that
it
takes
to
then
potentially
have
it
voted.
D
And
two
this
could
come
back
in
april
because
I
believe
in
the
documents
that
have
been
provided
to
us
as
far
as
I'm
sorry,
the
information
that
has
been
provided
via
notes
from
heather
mason
is
is
that
it
looks
like
this
is
all
anticipated
to
be
complete
as
far
as
a
budget
amendment
in
april.
So
I
definitely
don't
want
to
risk
rushing,
but
it
does
sound
like
things
are
already
slated
for
april.
So
for
me,
that
kind
of
just
then
would
indicate
that
this
would
come
back
to
the
lago
committee
in
april.
D
Once
that
budget
amendment
has
been
attached.
L
Right
so
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
there's
a
couple
things
here.
You
know
one
is
the
lead
time.
You
know,
and
I
can't
you
know.
I
can't
speak
to
specifically
to
whether
this
potentially
then
delays
the
april
9th
effective
date.
But
if
it's
you
know,
if
it's
in
committee
in
two
weeks
in
the
full
board
to
the
end
of
march,
it
probably
pushes
us
back
at
least
a
pay
period.
L
Again,
you
know,
there's
the
there's
the
interplay
you
know
with
the
new
financial
system
going
live.
You
know
which
then
potentially
pushes
it
past
that
and
I'd
have
to
map
all
this
out
with
my
team.
L
You
know
we
think
the
current
timeline
works
in
terms
of
the
budget
amendment
again,
our
view
is
that
we've
clearly
laid
out
the
specific
numbers
in
terms
of
keeping
the
budget.
In
balance
you
know,
so
we
don't
have
any
concerns
on
that
and
it
just
is
a
time
intensive
activity
to
to
prepare
the
budget
amendment.
D
I
appreciate,
and
I
understand
that
I
still
am
going
to
fall
back
too.
I
do
believe
it's
incredibly
disrespectful
to
bring
this
resolution
forward
with
not
a
complete
budget
amendment
I
mean
I
just
want
to
raise
that
as
an
importance.
This
is
not
something
out
of
the
ordinary
in
which
I,
as
a
chair,
requesting
for
any
business
that
comes
before
this
is
a
big
increase
to
our
budget.
This
is
a
unknown
impact
to
our
proprietary
departments
and
our
special
revenue
departments,
and
I
really
just
again
want
to
emphasize.
D
It
is
not
out
of
the
ordinary
to
ask
that
a
budget
amendment
be
attached
to
a
resolution
that
comes
to
committee
to
be
voted
on.
I
appreciate
I
understand
what
you're
saying
I
just
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
agree
with
it,
so
I
will
not
move
forward
with
supporting
making
a
vote
on
this
item
today.
I
can't
I
cannot
make
an
informed
vote
without
a
budget
amendment.
D
D
L
For
general
fund
departments
absolutely
for
the
parks
department
and
we
will
evaluate.
D
D
I'm
sorry
did
you
say
the
parks
department
for
the
parks,
which
is
one
department
of
many
proprietary
departments.
Is
that
fair
to
say
because
we
have
I.t,
we
have
water
resources.
Commission
there
are
grant
programs,
so
it's
not
just
parks
parks
may
not
be
affected
this
fiscal
year,
but
I
do
think
it's
honest
and
fair
to
say
that
there
are
departments
who
compensate
their
employees
with
proprietary
funds
that
will
be
impacted
in
2022
and
2023
and
2020
up
and
beyond.
D
D
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
we
are
voting
on.
We
are
voting
on
postponing
item
number.
D
C
D
Do
a
roll
call
yeah,
let's
do
a
roll
call
vote
on
whether
or
not
we
will
be
postponing
item
number
g
to
an
uncertain
date.
So
roll
call
please,
commissioners.
H
D
D
Thank
you.
Next
up,
we
will
now
move
forward
with
roll
call
vote
or
prompt.
The
vote
for
item
number
g.
D
Three
a's
two
nays
motion
carries
thank
you
again
april
and
ken
for
coming
forward
to
give
us
more
information
on
this
item.
Commissioners
is
oh
before
we
adjourn,
commissioner
gershon
said:
oh
okay,
do
you
need
to?
We
have
a
last
public
comment.
C
Okay,
so
do
you
need
to
I
need
to
leave?
I
just
wanted
to
bring
to
everyone's
attention
that
our
commissioner
angie
paul
was
nominated
for
best
under
40
or,
however,
it
goes
so.
Congratulations.
D
F
F
We
have
so
many
things
that
are
being
done
so
illogically
that
my
business
mind
is
going
crazy
because
everything
you
guys
are
doing
is
the
opposite
of
what
you
should
do
to
be
successful,
and
I
know
because
I've
done
it
from
the
ground
up.
I
have
personal
experience
in
most
of
these
things.
In
fact,
I
was
one
of
the
few
in
the
country
in
1987
that
got
100
of
my
stock
clients
out
of
the
market
before
the
crash.
F
So
when
I
talk
about
finance,
it
offends
me-
and
it's
very
concerning
when
I
hear
people
that
say
the
it
group
is
going
to
go,
live
with
all
software.
The
reason
they
couldn't
do
a
budget
amendment
was
because
of
software
implementation,
and
lo
and
behold,
I've
been
involved
with
foia
data
to
try
to
find
out
what
in
the
world
this
county
is
doing,
or
what
shall
I
say
united
way
is
doing
with
our
millions
of
dollars
for
mental
health
and
well-being
grant
funds.
F
It's
scary,
I
need
help.
Reviewing
is
there's
so
much
data.
The
fact
that
they
didn't
tell
the
grant
oversight
committee
at
all
any
of
the
application
data
from
any
of
the
people
declined
or
applied
is
shameful,
and
the
fact
that
we
have
no
oversight
in
reality
on
the
grant
oversights
in
this
county
is
why
I'm
up
here
every
day
in
and
day
out,
I
feel
like
it's
a
full-time
job
now,
I'm
retired,
but
there's
too
much
inaccuracy
and
lies
that
are
being
circulated
and
one
thing
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
clarify.
F
We
must
point
out
that
christopher
murray
was
appointed
in
2018,
so
it's
not
okay
to
sit
here
and
say
there
were
no
issues.
There
were
issues
just
the
media
is
covering
it
up,
so
we
really
need
to
be
opening
our
eyes
to
all.
What's
going
on
in
our
state
of
michigan
in
our
country
and
the
root
cause
of
these
is
the
policies
that
are
being
put
forth,
they're,
creating
the
inflation
that
you're
trying
to
spend
more
to
cover
up.
Thank
you.
D
H
M
Resident-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
what
you
do,
I
understand
this
is
a
part-time
elected
position
that
you
guys
are
committed
to
and
as
I
look
at
the
hundred
page
plus
packets,
that
you
guys
are
responsible
for
pouring
over
in
preparation
for
these
strategic
committee
meetings,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
it,
and
it
was
evidenced
today
by
commissioner
nelson
and
I'm
sorry
by
all
the
work
that
you
guys
put
in
to
hold
the
resources
accountable.
So
thank
you
for
that.
M
I
got
stuck
last
night,
though
reading
the
parks
and
rec
rules
and
regulations
so
and
here's
what
what
I,
what
I
found
fascinating.
This
is
an
amazing
format
that
could
be
used
by
the
state
of
michigan
for
election
integrity,
because
we
just
you
know,
looked
at
the
fact
that
we've
got
dog
licenses
that
are
required.
Maybe
we
should
make
it
a
serious
thing
to
have
people
have
to
show
their
id
and
then
at
the
federal
level.
There's
so
many
rules
and
regulations
in
here
that
promote
law
fullness.
M
But
I
think
it's
a
good
thing,
so
this
document
actually
has
a
million
good
things
in
it.
What
tripped
me
up,
though,
was
the
I
would
call
it
bait
and
switch,
but
it's
really
search
and
replace
that
the
legal
department
has
done
at
some
point
in
here,
because
we
went
from
perks
to
commissioned
property,
so
the
commission
doesn't
have
any
property.
You
manage
the
property,
but
somehow
the
subtlety
of
this
language
shift
sets
it
into
the
aura
that
somehow
this
is
commissioned
property.
M
M
I
don't
have
I
like
you.
I
don't
want
to
be
reading
these
kind
of
documents,
but
I
want
to
be
able
to
rely
on
our
legal
resources
to
do
the
right
thing.
I
don't
want
a
decoder
ring
to
have
to
understand
this
stuff.
It
needs
to
start
getting
more
easy
to
read
and
we
need
to
be
consistent,
not
sloppy,
and
I
mean
if
you
just
look
at
important
violations
of
the
parks
park
rules
there
we
go
it's
the
park
and
then
section
one
hours:
no
person
shall
remain
on
commissioned
property.
M
No,
it's
the
perk
property
managed
by
the
commission,
fees
and
charges.
No
person
or
entity
shall
use
any
commission
property.
It's
all
over
here.
It's
not
your
property.
So
we
need
to
fix
that
because
we
don't
want
your
residents,
your
constituents,
to
think
that
we're
all
of
a
suddenly
transferring
community
property
to
the
government.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
do.
I
know
it's
a
it's
a
non-thankful
job.
You
got
a
lot
on
your
plate.
