B
No,
okay
good
morning
so
I
just
like
to
go
over
a
couple
of
paragraphs
as
we
deal
with
this
new,
hopefully
very
informative
obsession
based
on
the
pandemic.
We
obviously
are
doing
things
in
a
different
way,
so
I
understand
that
the
state
law
currently
requires
that
the
following
announcement
be
made
at
the
beginning
of
every
remote
public
hearing
as
follows.
B
Due
to
the
current
public
health
emergency
city,
council
committees
are
currently
meeting
remotely,
we
are
using
Microsoft
teams
to
make
be
remote
hearings
possible
instruction
or
how
the
public
may
view
and
offer
public
testimony
at
public
hearings
of
council
committees
are
included
into
public
hearing
notices
that
are
published
in
the
daily
moves.
Inquire
and
legal
Intelligencer.
Prior
to
the
hearings,
we
can
also
be
found
on
phl
council,
calm.
I,
now
note
that
the
hour
is
come,
we're
going
to
start
mr.
stood.
Will
you
please
call
the
roll
to
take
attendance
members
that
are
in
attendance?
B
F
J
A
A
B
We
clearly
have
a
status
on,
but
before
we
dive
into
what
I'm
sure
will
be
a
very
informative
session,
I'd
like
to
say
a
few
words
about
today's
process.
The
koala
bears
pandemic
has
changed
the
world,
and
that
includes
this
council.
We're
not
in
the
same
room
and
to
be
honest,
I,
don't
like
it,
because
I
really
do
miss
you
guys
the
ability
to
interact
with
you
in
a
very
personal
way,
there's
something
that
I've
always
cherished.
But
unfortunately
we
can't
do
that
today.
B
B
B
So
we
have
less
time
in
these
hearings
than
we're
used
to
a
lot
less
time,
and
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
that
out
of
respect
to
each
other.
Each
of
us
needs
to
be
as
direct
as
possible
in
our
questions
and
brief.
In
our
comments,
we
really
need
to
limit
this.
Our
time
frame
I
want
to
remind
you
all
these
channel
six
before
BB
will
go
away
and
we
were
reconvened
in
the
afternoon
session,
so
we
want
to
get
as
much
done
as
possible
in
this
morning
session.

we
began
to
hear
testimony
from
the
witnesses
we
that,
for
today,
everyone
we
have
been
invited
to
the
meeting
to
testify
should
be
rare,
that
this
is
public
hearing
is
being
recorded
because
they
say
it
is
public.
Participants
and
viewers
have
no
reasonable

By
continuing

you
are

recognizing

comments

B
I
will
know
for

at

that
we
will
use
the

Microsoft
team
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
Sunshine
Act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
that
purpose,
and
that
purpose
alone,
we
were
so
our
first
question,
five
minutes,
which
is
why
I'm
asking
our
colleagues
and
my
good
friends
to
please
be
direct
with
your
questions
that
will
allow
enough
time
for
response.
B
B
L
There
Thank
You
council
president
good
morning
so
don't
worry
good
morning,
council
president
Park
and
members
of
City
Council.
My
name
is
Jim
Anglo,
chief
of
staff
to
Mayor,
Kenny
and
I'm
here
to
testify
in
support
of
the
mayor
proposed
five-year
plan
with
all
the
supporting
budget
revenue
bills
that
were
proposed
on
March
1st
2020,
the
May
1st
2020.
Excuse
me.
This
revised
us
by
21
through
25
five-year
plan,
reflects
the
sudden,
dramatic
changes
in
service
demands
and
economic
conditions
as
a
result
of
the
covert
19
global
pandemic.
L
It
prioritizes
keeping
philadelphians
particularly
most
vulnerable
residents,
safe,
healthy
and
educated,
while
maintaining
fiscal
stability.
I'm
joined
today
by
Rob
debayer
of
the
city's
finance
director,
we're
so
Axman
the
city's
budget
director
members
of
Mayor,
Kenny's
cabinet
and
senior
officials
of
the
managing
directors
office,
and
we
were
all
available
to
answer
your
questions.
A
match.
L
Fifth,
mayor
Kenny
presented
the
original
F
by
21
through
25
five-year
plan
to
City
Council,
including
the
investments
to
tackle
Philadelphia's
biggest
challenges,
intergenerational
poverty,
violence
in
public
safety
and
our
education
system
at
all
levels
then
plan
those
investments
by
reducing
tax
rates
and
improving
our
fiscal
health
by
the
end
of
March.
All
that
essential
city
operations
and
businesses
had
ceased
their
operations.
Our
schools
had
closed
and
the
ensure
that
our
city
were
forced
to
preventing
the
spread
of
COBIT
19
and
treating
those
affected.
L
The
impact
of
the
crisis
on
the
city's
finances
has
been
immediate.
We
face
reduced
revenues
with
immediate
impacts
on
taxes,
there's
potential
potential
for
permanent
shifts
to
require
work
from
home
for
some
bringing
a
large
and
lasting
negative
impact
on
city
finances,
to
provide
relief
to
Philadelphia
taxpayers
with
extended
deadlines
for
property
and
business
taxes.
As
of
today,
no
federal
funds
have
been
approved
to
offset
revenue
losses.
We
also
have
unplanned
expenses.
In
addition
to
labor
cost.
L
There
are
new
expenses
for
testing
sites
and
supplies,
quarantine,
locations
and
services,
surge
hospital
capacity,
medical
vehicles,
personal
protective
equipment,
disinfectant
cleaning
supplies.
Third
capacity
and
business
supports.
They
expect
none
of
these
costs
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
federal
government.
L
We've
seen
higher
costs
for
essential
service
delivery
and
our
fixed
cost,
not
that
lassos
will
necessitate
higher
pension
payments.
Tax
deadline,
delays
and
the
collections
will
most
certainly
require
issuing
revenue.
Anticipation,
notes
to
maintain
cash
crop
revenue,
losses
and
expense
increases
indicate.
The
revised
f21
budget
proposal
must
include
six
hundred
and
thirty-nine
million
dollars
of
reductions
to
plan
spending
reduced
resources,
a
new
revenue
sources
compared
to
the
effort
21
budget
proposed
on
March
fifth.
L
This
economic
downturn
exceeds
the
worst
of
the
Great
Recession
and
has
necessitated
an
immediate
and
thoughtful
response
to
develop
a
revised
budget
and
five-year
plan.
They
said
about
revising
the
plan
by
first
setting
clear
priorities:
we'll
keep
a
Philadelphian
safe,
healthy
and
educated
that
maintaining
corners
for
services
that
our
residents
rely
on
daily
said
to
a
thoughtful,
the
Burton
collaborative
process
for
revising
the
five-year
plan.
There
was
further
data
by
three
core
principles.
L
L
L
L
L
L
By
guaranteeing
the
following:
no
police
or
fire
valves,
no
emergency
medical
services.
You
can
all
fire
stations
open,
keeping
that
health
centers
open,
keeping
our
recreation
centers
open,
keeping
our
libraries
open,
pH,
our
pre-k
and
Community
Schools
will
maintain
at
current
funding
levels
for
f21
and
expand
over
the
plan
with
the
residential
trash
collection
and
single
stream.
Recycling
will
continue
with
some
adjustments
and
will
prioritize
keeping
Philadelphians
in
their
homes,
with
support
for
basic
systems,
repair
for
any
mortgage
foreclosure
and
support
for
renters
using
local
and
federal
funding,
so
audacity
faces
new,
unanticipated
long-term
challenges.
L
They
also
must
take
all
opportunities
to
increase
equity
and
opportunity
for
our
residents.
The
FI
21,
through
25
five-year
plan,
was
developed
to
move
us
forward
through
this
difficult
time.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
today
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
our
members
of
council
throughout
this
budget
process.
Now
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
sharp
executive
director
of
the
Philadelphia
City
Planning
Commission,
for
testimony
on
the
capital
budget
and
program.
M
Good
morning,
council
president
Clark
and
members
of
City
Council,
my
name
is
Ellen
sharp,
I'm,
deputy
director
in
the
department
of
planning
and
development
and
also
the
executive
director.
The
City
Planning
Commission
with
me
is,
as
Jim
mentioned,
I'm
so
going
Waxman
and
Rob
Tabo.
We
are
here
to
present
for
your
review
and
consideration
the
revised
recommended
fiscal
year,
twenty
to
twenty
one,
to
twenty
twenty
six
capital
program
and
in
fiscal
year,
2021
in
capital
budget,
which
was
approved
by
the
City
Planning
Commission.
M
At
its
meeting
on
April
30th
of
2020,
the
recommended
program
is
a
six
year
plan
for
investing
in
the
city's
physical
and
technical
magical
infrastructure,
neighborhood
and
community
facilities,
public
buildings
and
specialized
vehicles.
The
recommended
budget
reflects
the
spending
appropriations
for
the
first
year
of
the
six-year
program.
M
The
program
and
budget
are
key
instruments
of
planned
physical
development.
The
Philadelphia
Naval
Charter
directs
that
their
initial
preparation
and
submission
to
the
mayor
be
a
function
of
the
City
Planning
Commission,
the
City
Planning
Commission
and
the
budget
office
begins
to
prepare
these
recommendations
in
early
fall,
working
with
the
department
of
public
properties,
capital
projects,
division,
the
managing
directors
office
and
each
individual
department.
This
collaborative
process
produces
a
capital
program
and
budget
that
advance
the
city's
comprehensive
plan,
addresses
capital
needs
and
aligns
with
financial
resources,
and
our
spending
capacity.
M
City
Council
saw
the
original
recommendations
from
this
effort:
Creek
ovid
19
in
the
capital
program
and
budget
ordinances
that
were
introduced
on
March
5th,
the
revised
ordinances
there's
number
two:
zero:
zero,
two
and
five
and
two
zero
zero.
Two
eight
six
with
wrapped
prudent
reductions
in
the
fiscal
year,
2021
capital
budget.
These
reductions
are
not
because
we
wanted
to
make
cuts
or
because
we
had
to
consider
and
help
to
manage
debt
service
costs
in
operating
budget.
M
While
the
city
contends
with
a
coke
in
nineteen
pandemic
for
fiscal
year
2021,
one
hundred
and
twenty
eight
point,
three
million
dollars
is
to
be
funded
by
new
general
obligation,
bonds
issued
by
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
This
is
lower
than
a
hundred
and
seventy
point.
Eight
million
dollars
in
general
obligation
funds
that
was
previously
introduced
in
ordinance
and
will
reduce
that
service
to
be
paid
out
of
our
operating
budget.
M
Despite
the
recommended
reduction
in
general
obligation
bond
funding,
the
city's
administration
is
committed
to
investing
in
the
city's
infrastructure
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
The
revised
recommended
capital
program
proposes
invested
eleven
point:
three
billion
dollars
from
all
sources
over
the
six-year
period.
M
Through
2026,
the
out
years
of
the
program
remaining
for
now,
as
originally
proposed,
this
will
advise
fiscal
year.
Twenty
more
capital
budget
ordinance
would
still
authorize
3.2
billion
dollars
worth
of
investment,
including
both
new
funds
from
the
city
and
its
partners,
and
a
significant
amount
of
funds
carry
forward
from
previous
years.
M
In
making
the
revisions
at
a
capital
budget,
the
administration
considered
a
number
of
factors:
city
funding
for
Public,
Safety,
public
health
and
present
facilities
was
largely
preserved
as
where
projects
required
to
prevent
deterioration
of
both
other
city
operated
facilities,
preference
was
given
to
projects
that
are
already
on
the
way
or
that
have
had
vendors
already
selected.
On
the
other
hand,
projects
that
could
continue
with
existing
funds
from
the
city
and
other
sources,
or
that
had
unclear
capacity
for
implementation
in
this
fiscal
year
were
targeted
for
reductions.
M
I'll
go
to
them,
28
point
three
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year,
2021
approximately
26
million
dollars
devoted
to
public
safety
facilities,
streets,
sanitation
and
transit
assets
will
receive
fifty
million
dollars.
Well,
twenty
three
million
dollars
will
be
allocated
for
community
facilities
and
economic
development.
M
Despite
the
reductions,
we
believe
that
a
recommended
level
of
city
funding
in
combination
with
funds
contributed
by
our
much
appreciated
Commonwealth,
federal
and
private
partners
is
adequate
to
meet
the
city's
capital
needs
in
the
coming
year.
We
will
be
happy
to
address
your
questions,
but
before
that,
I'll
turn
this
back
over
to
Jim.
To
present
to
you,
the
mayor's
office
budget,
Thank
You.
L
President
members
of
City
Council
again,
my
name
is
Jim
Anglo,
chief
of
staff,
tomato
penny
and
I'm
here
to
testify
we're
betting,
the
requested
budget
for
the
office
of
the
mayor
for
fiscal
year,
2021
joining
me
today,
other
staff
from
the
mayor's
office.
You
know
testimony
which
I
will
briefly
summarize
now
the
proposed
fiscal
year,
2021
general
fund
budget
for
the
mayor's
office
is
six
million
three
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
five
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
and
inclusive
thirty.
L
Five
thousand
three
hundred
and
six
dollars
of
the
fiscal
2020
estimated
obligations
with
a
revised
F
by
twenty
one
budget.
The
stand-alone
budget
of
the
office'
city
representative
was
eliminated
and
the
remaining
staff
members
and
functions
were
transferred
to
the
mayor's
office
budget.
An
additional
revised
budget
has
reductions
in
overall
staff
from
both
layoffs
and
the
elimination
of
vacant
or
planned
positions
and
reductions
in
class
two
hundred
expenditures
for
certain
contract
costs.
Thank
you
again
for
providing
the
opportunity
to
testify.
Today
we
are
happy
to
answer
your
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Related
to
talk
about
you
know
the
650
me
and
get
in
most
of
us
as
I'm
sure
the
public
one
wants
to
know
what
methodology
do
you
use
to
get
to
that
gap?
How
do
you
determine
you
know
to
reduce
revenues,
and,
and
how
did
you
determine
one,
what
the
administration's
contingency
plan
projections
coming
better
than
projected
we'd
love
for
that
to
happen?
B
What
recovery
and
the
opening
of
some
software
used
in
determining
these
revised
projections
and
what
is
the
administration
contingency
plan
and
projections
come
in
worse
and
heaven
forbid
than
projected,
but
again
you're,
not
a
child
to
this
process.
The
virus
is
and,
and
we
individuals
because
they
said
end
of
the
day.
B
L
N
N
The
next
was
understanding
what
our
projections
were
of,
where
we
were
going
to
end
FY
20
the
current
fiscal
year
in
terms
of
FM
belts,
because
that
tells
us
how
we're
going
to
start
off
in
FY
21,
and
so,
as
we've
been
revisiting
our
spending
and
revenue
projections
for
the
current
fiscal
year.
We
anticipate
that
our
fund
balance
will
be
84
million
dollars
less
at
the
end
of
FY
2010
we
had
initially
projected,
and
so,
instead
of
352
million,
we
think
we're
going
to
end
up
at
around
268
million.
N
At
the
end
of
the
current
fiscal
year,
the
largest
part
of
the
gap,
though,
comes
from
the
reduced
revenues
and
we've
estimated
that
at
535
million
dollars
during
FY
21,
and
we
work
with
these
cities
outside
economists,
appropriate
IHS
market,
to
understand,
what's
going
on
both
in
terms
of
the
size
of
the
tax
base,
as
well
as
our
collection
rates.
So
a
couple
quick
examples
there.
You
know.
N
We
think
that
the
business
privilege
tax,
which
is
a
significant
revenue
stream
for
us,
will
constrict
by
a
certain
amount,
and
they
gave
us
estimates
based
on
their
projections
for
regional
gross
product
for
wages
and
salaries
in
the
city
and
net
income
of
businesses,
and
so
they
basically
said
this
is
how
we
think
the
local
economy
is
going
to
contract
by
X
percent.
For
this
and
y
percent
for
that
and
develop
sort
of
reductions.
We
also,
in
some
cases,
dial
back
how
much
we
thought
we
could
collect.
N
So,
for
example,
when
we
were
looking
at
the
FI
20
current
year
alert,
even
though
the
amount
that
people
Oh
should
have
changed
because
all
of
that
is
based
on
the
activity
in
2019.
You
know
folks
ability
to
pay,
they
have
changed
even
if
they
go
that
so
we've
reduced
our
connection
rates.
So
it's
a
mix.
The
activity
as
well
as
even
if
going
to
be.
N
B
B
Yeah
we
getting
these
phone
calls.
Why
are
you
guys
picking
on
me,
I'm
not
going
to
say
on
the
other
side
of
that
phone,
but
I'm
sure
you
all
know
and
people
are
basically
they
don't
understand
why
they
were
selected
to
be
a
2ds
or
the
companies
or
the
type
of
individuals
that
had
additional
revenue
right.
N
So
there
are
three
things
that
we
do
look
at
when
we
evaluate
taxes
which
one's
going
to
be
efficient,
effective
and
equitable,
or
the
three
e's
that
we
think
about,
and
so
efficient
means
that
are
we
able
to
do
this?
There
was
somehow
ideas
out
there,
but
we
would
have
had
to
invest
a
lot
of
time,
either
standing
them
up
in
new
IT
or
getting
state
permission.
That
was
a
no-go,
so
we
made
sure
that
we
ruled
out
anything
that
wasn't
going
to
be
particularly
efficient,
because
we
need
these
funds
now.
N
The
next
criteria
we
look
at
is
effective.
Is
it
actually
going
to
generate
any
revenue
during
this
time
that
you
know
certain
activities
we
know
are
not
happening
or
will
take
longer
to
come
back,
and
so
you
know,
if
you
have
a
higher
tax
rate
on
zero,
you
still
get
zero.
So
we
really
wanted
to
look
at
how
effective
things
will
be
in
terms
of
generally
generating
revenue
and
then,
thirdly,
we
looked
at
equity,
where's,
the
burden
gonna
fall.
Any
tax
increase
is
a
burden,
and
so
we
know
that
those
fell
in
equitably.
N
So,
for
example,
we've
got.
We
proposed
an
increase
in
the
parking
tax.
Now
then
we
saw
would
be
fairly
efficient
because
it
doesn't
take
very
much
to
actually
get
that
up
and
running
fairly
effective
because
it
is
proven
to
be
really
interesting
and
resilient.
Past
increases
have
continued
to
produce
money,
and
even
with
the
rise
of
alternatives
to
private
cars,
it
continues
to
generate
more
in
their
funds
and
then
in
terms
of
equity.
N
We
look
towards
the
city's
connect
plan
that
looked
at
differences
in
car
ownership
rates
by
weights
in
Philadelphia,
and
we
saw
that,
unlike
some
other
options,
we
had,
it
would
not
fail
just
proportionally
on
people
of
color,
and
so
that
was
an
important
factor
for
us
as
well.
So
these
looking
at
the
efficiency,
the
equity
and
the
effectiveness
of
the
various
options
is
how
they
came
to
the
proposals
we
came
to.
Okay,.
B
I
promise
to
keep
to
the
timeline
guideline
which
I've
already
abused,
and
you
actually
don't
have
to
respond.
This
wants
you
to
take
into
account
some
potential
negative
impact.
Long
term
actually
short
terms
such
as
raising
the
non-resident
wage
tax,
which
we've
heard
a
lot
about,
and
understanding
has
been
a
real
challenge
for
us
of
losing
that
revenue,
but
unless
you
I'm,
assuming
that
you
all
understood
that
it
could
potentially
be
significantly
negative
impact
on
us,
so
I
have
to
answer
it.
B
You've
got
a
lot
of
calls
and
all
the
other
you
know
things
that
you've
heard
from
members
of
the
General
Assembly
and
businesspeople
as
they
are
evaluating
what
they
do
to
move
ahead,
just
putting
it
on
the
record.
Okay.
Well,
thank
you
use
my
time
enough.
So
next
up
I
would
like
to
call
Councilwoman
reaction
to
Sanchez.
Thank.
C
You
I
had
thank
you.
Thank
you
all
now
be
brief
to
respect
the
guidelines
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you.
I
know
this
time
has
been
really
difficult,
just
picking
back
on
on
some
of
the
questions
around
the
framing
and
the
decision
making
for
Jim.
If
you
could
provide
to
the
council
the
written
directives
around
how
departments
were
asked
to
make
layoffs
and
how
that
gives
you
a
more
equitable
balance
and
how
that
protects
the
most
vulnerable
constituencies,
so
you
provided
some
framework
as
they
come
forward
and
start
reporting.
L
So
we
can
provide
to
the
council
the
guidance
that
we
gave
regarding
the
revised
budget
submissions.
We
did
not
provide
specific
guidance
on
unlost
to
departments
other
than
they
need
to
match
the
budget
that
they
were
submitting.
So
if
they
were
a
program
or
a
part
of
the
department,
then
they
could,
they
could
tell
us,
but
the
impact
would
be
on
that
class,
100
expenditures
and
then
how
many
employees
would
be
impacted
by
that.
L
C
L
We're
happy
to
provide
you
know
that
equity
framework
that
we
went
through
with
departments
again,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
testimony,
we
really
focused
on
three
key
priorities:
keeping
fed
up
and
safe,
healthy
and
educated,
and
that
was
the
kind
of
guiding
framework
that
we
gave
to
all
departments,
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
mayor's
cabinet.
In
order
to
get
to
this
revised
budget
that
we
can,
we
can
provide
all
the
materials
that
were
given
to
departments.
L
C
You
and
then,
lastly,
we,
you
know
again
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
recognize
that
all
of
this
budget
has
to
be
to
an
equity
lens
and
in
the
response
to
endemic.
We
made
a
lot
of
decisions,
quick
decisions
and
then
others,
decisions
based
on
health,
that
nobody
wants
a
Monday,
Morning
Quarterback,
but
I
was
concerned
about
the
correspondents
you
sent
up
to
Council
last
Tuesday,
as
are
related
to
the
black
doctors
consortium.
C
As
you
know,
the
pandemic
has
just
really
highlighted
what
all
of
us
already
know,
which
is
the
disparate
impact
on
people
of
color,
but
in
in
that
response
to
council
member
Gilmore
Richardson's
request
for
support
to
the
black
consortium
to
get
more
testing
in
the
african-american
community.
You
highlight
it
that
you've
been
working
with
a
lot
of
groups,
but
that
they
should
submit
an
RFP,
which
you
know
again
for
long
term
services.
C
L
I
wouldn't
say
that
this
group
was
singled
out
for
for
any
type
of
specific
response.
We
looked
at
the
landscape
of
testing
the
first
thing
we
did.
Obviously
we
stood
up
our
own
testing
site
down
at
the
stadium
with
the
support
of
Pima
and
FEMA,
and
we
worked
with
hospital
systems
to
make
sure
that
they
all
had
testing
capacity.
Then
we
opened
a
second
testing
site
for
the
city
at
one
of
our
health
centers
and
then
expanded
that
to
all
of
our
health
centers.
L
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
provided
an
opportunity
for
a
number
of
groups
that
may
be
interested
in
providing
that
type
of
service
in
communities
to
respond
to
us
when
it
comes
to
the
to
the
black
doctors
consortium.
We
have
mental
conversations
with
them.
I've
talked
to
dr.
Stanford,
we've
provided
PPE
and
other
support
to
them.
We've
provided
support
for
them
to
be
able
to
bill
for
tests,
because
in
the
vast
majority
of
cases,
if
someone
has
insurance,
we
should
be
billing.
C
Appreciate
that
and
again
long
term
for
their
for
their
support
on
when
council
left,
we
appropriated
85
million
dollars
in
emergency
funds.
My
question:
is
it
one
single
doubt
how
many
of
the
other
thousands
of
expenditures
were
our
speed
and
response
to
Colgate,
as
opposed
to
supporting
none
with
those
efforts?
Some
of
us
have
personally
contributed
to
to
their
efforts.
I
just
think
again.
If
we're
saying
that
racial
equity
lens,
then
we
we
have
to
mean
it
and
I
just
think
on
this
one.
The
messaging
is
inconsistent
and.
L
Obviously
I
mean
you
and
the
council
president
and
publicly
we
post
the
expenditure
reports
weekly
or
bi-weekly
basis.
Now,
for
how
that
eighty
five
million
dollars
are
spent
down,
you
can
see
the
amount
that's
been
spent
on
businesses,
so
we're
providing
that
information
in
in
just
about
every
case.
We
solicit
bids
for
services,
so
it
may
not
be
through
a
family
RFP
process,
but
we're
soliciting
multiple
big
purchase,
PPE
and
other
materials
again
I
think
when
it
comes
to
the
testing
support.
We
know
this
is
really
a
long-term
thing.
L
K
Thank
You,
mr.
president
and
good
morning
to
each
of
you.
Let
me
going
back
to
your
testimony.
You
mentioned
that
six
hundred
and
forty
nine
million
dollars
whole,
but
then
you
also
mentioned
that
the
federal
government
has
not
allowed
municipalities
to
use
stem
that
they
have
provided
to
replace
lost
revenues
and
I.
K
So
I
have
to
give
a
big
shout-out
to
our
senatorial
delegation
for
at
the
federal
level,
our
congressional
delegation
and
all
of
our
state
leaders,
both
public
they've
heard.
All
of
this
money
is
coming
from
the
federal
government,
but
you're
talking
about
a
640
million
forty
nine
million
dollar
hole
and
we
can't
use
any
of
that
federal
money.
What
does
that
mean
and
explain
it
sure.
L
L
To
replace
that
last
revenue
where
the
city
has
received
through
the
corner
coronavirus
relief
fund
excuse
me,
is
two
hundred
and
seventy
six
million
dollars,
and
that
is
for
for
expenditures
that
we
have
that
we're
not
already
budgeted
in
our
response
to
this
crisis,
and
none
of
that
funding
can
be
used
to
replace
revenue
that
can
only
be
for
new
costs
that
are
associated
with
the
virus.
We
think
that
we
will
spend
all
of
that
money
between
now
and
December
31st.
L
That's
when
the
deadline
for
us
to
be
able
to
spend
down
those
dollars,
there's
also
money.
That's
been
appropriated
for
other
things,
whether
it's
but
can
be
development
block
grant
or
money
through
the
CDC
money
for
individuals
at
that
276
million
is
the
largest
part
of
the
city's
received
and
cannot
go
towards
the
biggest
deficit,
which
is
revenue
so.
K
This
brings
me
to
my
next
question:
that's
very
clear
for
any
industry
that
is
drew
this
budget
that
you
all
have
proposed
that
the
city
has
chosen
to
make
a
series
of
extreme
cuts
now
and
your
proposal
to
raise
taxes
at
the
beginning
fiscal
year.
Is
there
any
way
that
we
could
build
into
our
budgeting
assumptions
that
some
federal
assistance
will
be
coming?
Listen
we've
led
in
this
council
in
a
very
responsible
way
and
let
conversations
with
our
federal
and
state
officials-
and
we
know
help
is
on
the
way.
K
K
We
have
to
keep
the
racial
equity
lens
on
to
ensure
that
as
Philadelphians
are
being
retrained
during
the
midst
of
great,
you
know,
levels
of
unemployment
that
they
get.
Everyone
gets
the
opportunity
to
participate.
So
I
is
what
I
to
hear
the
bell,
but
I
want
you
to
respond
to
that
relative
success,
T,
along
with
the
contact,
tracing
and
diversity
and
inclusion,
sure.
L
To
Brian,
to
talk
about
what
the
Health
Department
is
doing
managing
director,
what
the
Health
Department
is
doing
on
contact
tracing
as
we
are
staffing
up
for
that
purpose
to
the
first
part
of
your
question
regarding
I'm,
not
making
the
cuts
now
and
anticipation
of
federal
support
to
come,
we
have
to
present
a
balanced
budget.
We
have
to
pass
a
balanced
budget
by
June
30th
Robin
Marissa
can
speak
to
the
funds
that
were
set
aside
in
the
grants,
Revenue
Fund
and
for
other
federal
funding
that
may
come
to
the
city.
L
K
I'm,
sorry
and
I
know
my
time
is
I
heard
the
Bell
mr.
president,
but
let
me
just
State
for
the
record
that
we
get
that
the
city
of
Philadelphia
can't
do
what
the
feds
do
right.
We
can't
deficit
spend
and
we
can't
print
money,
and
we
know
that
we
have
to
present
a
balanced
budget
and
a
five-year
plan.
The
question
was
in
regards
to
the
strategy
and
we
know
that
the
help
is
on
the
way.
Is
there
any
way
that
we
can
creatively
strategically
find
a
way
to
buy
time
in
this
process?
L
O
So
part
of
what
we
have
to
do
in
this
process
is
present
a
five-year
plan
to
Piko
and
have
them
approve
it,
and
they
look
to
make
sure
that
any
revenues
that
we've
included
or
revenues
that
we
can
reliably
count
on.
So
it
has
to
be
something.
That's
in
the
legislation
that's
been
approved.
For
example,
we
did
two
teachings
point.
We
did
put
in
our
grant
fund
six
hundred
million
dollars
in
contingency
funds
so
that
if,
after
the
budget
process
is
done,
we
get
revenue
replacement
dollars.
K
Got
about
that,
but
these
are
clearly
unprecedented
times
and
we
know
what
our
process
is
and
and
what
the
law
requires,
as
it
relates
to
standard
operating
procedure.
My
ask
is
just
that
we
use
every
ounce
of
innovation
and
creativity
possible
to
ensure
that
if
there's
any
methods
that
are
available
for
us
to
cause
the
least
amount
of
pain
as
a
possible
and
I
know
where
we'll
get
specifically
into
other
areas,
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
K
P
Thank
you,
Brian
Abernathy,
managing
director.
So
when
we
started
off
this
crisis,
we
made
every
effort
to
contact
trace
every
case
that
came.
We
are
quickly
overwhelmed
our
staff
just
track
every
case
and
frankly,
at
the
height
of
this
epidemic
you
probably
have
been.
We
have
been
effective.
Well,
we
just
had
to
assume
everybody
had
come
into
contact
with
the
virus
as
we
go
forward.
P
Contact
tracing
becomes
incredibly
important
as
we
try
to
stamp
out
the
virus
or
over
time,
and
we
certainly
recognize
that
those
who
are
doing
the
contact
tracing
that
there
does
need
to
be
diversity
and
equity.
As
we
look
at
that,
we
have
started
to
stand
up
that
program.
We
do
expect
some
significant
federal
dollars
to
help
us
support
that
program
and
that
program
will
be
a
mixture
of
both
city
staff
as
well
as
working
with
with
hospitals,
healthcare
systems
and
and
community
organizations
as
well.
You
know
early.
M
J
J
J
J
J
L
Me
just
take
a
couple
of
points
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
finance
director
wrapped
a
bell
to
speak
more
in
depth.
Your
suggestion
around
the
beverage
tax
would
be
to
take
the
76
million
dollars
or
whatever
the
beverage
tax
yields
and
apply
to
other
programs.
That
would
require
us
to
cut
pre-k,
to
cut
Community
Schools
and
to
cease
paying
the
debt
and
the
repo
bonds
that
have
already
been
issued,
as
well
as
rebuild
bands
that
are
will
be
issued
in
the
future.
The
mayor
has
made
those
programs
priorities.
L
We
can
bet
supporting
our
children
through
this
extremely
difficult
time
as
they're
dealing
with
the
stress
of
the
urban
19
pandemic,
as
well
as
any
number
of
other
issues.
It's
really
important
that
we
continue
that
support
for
both
the
Community
Schools
concept,
as
well
as
protect
where
the
number
of
pre-k
providers
that
the
vast
majority
minority
owned
small
businesses
that
are
really
struggling
right
now,
with
the
restrictions
that
we
have
in
place
around
social
distancing
so
see.
L
The
other
recommendations
that
the
controller
made
today
she
talked
about
the
50
million
dollar
reserve
and,
as
Marisa
mentioned
earlier
today,
30
million
dollars
of
that
is
for
unanticipated
costs.
As
we
mentioned,
the
276
million
dollars
was
appropriated
through
the
show's.
Act
expires
on
December
31st,
and
so
we
expect
that
we
are
going
to
have
cost
be
on
December
31st
that
will
not
be
reimbursed.
So
that's
30
million
dollars
there.
L
The
controller
also
mentioned
the
possibility
to
reduce
over
time
we
have
make
reductions
over
time
in
the
revised
budget
hold
about
our
suggestion
that
we
cut
overtime
back
to
FY.
2011
numbers
would
just
result
in
the
layoffs
of
police
and
firefighters.
Again,
as
we
mentioned,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
testimony.
L
It
is
a
priority
of
the
mayor
that
we
not
make
cuts
to
public
safety
at
this
time
and
that
we
continue
to
support
our
public
safety
departments
that
are
truly
on
the
front
lines
of
this
crisis,
putting
themselves
at
risk
every
single
day,
I
mentioned
continuing
to
support
pre-k
Community
Schools.
We
are
continuing
that
at
the
FY
2011
we're
not
entirely
certain
that
she
means
by
the
increase
in
the
DHS
budget,
but
we're
happy
to
have
two
further
discussions
about
that.
The
line
the
400
miles
broad
project
again
doesn't
really
make
sense
to
this.
L
We're
required
to
submit
a
five-year
plan
to
play
here,
and
they
have
to
assure
we're
to
show
that
it's
a
balanced
budget
and
a
balanced
five-year
plan
and
just
delaying
or
defying
expenditures
that
we
know
we're
going
to
make
this
year
because
we
need
to
deliver
the
project
on
time.
Does
it
make
sense
and
further
delaying
the
project
will
add
to
increased
costs
over
the
long
term,
and
she
mentioned
not
giving
additional.
L
Is
meant
to
cover
the
dc33
contract
extension,
which
was
just
a
b2
several
weeks
ago,
but
after
the
budget
submission
was
made
so
now
that
money
has
been
allocated
will
be
allocated
to
the
operating
departments
of
support
to
support
contract
extensions.
Again
we
have
a
number
of
workers
that
are
out
on
the
front
lines,
putting
themselves
in
harm's
way
and
at
great
risk,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
support
them.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
No.
O
B
D
You,
council
president,
the
five-year
plan
states
that
the
16
million
dollars
general
fund
contribution
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
from
expiring
tax
abatements,
is
being
eliminated
on
a
one-time
basis
this
year,
because
these
funds
are
being
backed
by
federal
community
development
block
grant
relief
funds.
Given
how
restrictive
we
know
CDBG
to
be,
can
you
guarantee?
That's
will
be
used
as
a
one-to-one
replacement
for
all
those
housing,
trust
fund.
D
L
E
E
Housing
keeping
people
in
the
house,
they
already
have
so
those
emphasis
on
standing
up
in
mementos,
this
program,
basic
system
repair,
and
then
we
anticipate
a
potential
mortgage
issue
coming
up
at
the
end
of
the
summer
when
some
of
the
forbears
things
expire
and
so
we're
also
putting
some
additional
barriers
and
tell
mr.
version.
C
L
So
we
again,
we
did
that
on
a
department
basis
when
revising
their
budget.
We
really
wanted
to
look
at
who
is
delivering
the
programs
as
well
as
who
the
programs
were
serving,
and
so
we
didn't,
to
your
point,
create
further
exacerbate
the
inequities
that
we
know
exist,
and
we
have
been
for
four
and
a
half
years
now
and
trying
to
improve
equity
within
the
city
government,
further,
diversify
our
workforce
to
find
them
and
eliminate
them.
L
So
we
can
happy
to
have
an
offline
conversation
with
you
about
that
process,
so
we
can
get
it
again.
That's
still
ongoing
we're
still
going
through
and
fine
as
in
that
for
your
plan
about
seasonal
employees.
That
has
much
to
do
with
just
the
ability
for
us
to
deliver
those
seasonal
services
in
this
environment.
We
know
that,
for
instance,
we
could
not
impose
the
summer
due
to
social
distancing
and
our
ability
to
step
up
and
hire
the
teams
necessary.
L
A
You
council
president
Thank
You
Deborah
in
the
administration
for
working
through
this
budget
in
this
unprecedented
time,
have
some
because
of
the
time
limitation,
I'm
happy
with
the
answer
to
my
questions
that
are
less
no
or
extremely
brief.
So
let
me
start
with
the
projections
of
the
five-year
plan
projections.
In
fiscal
year.
Nineteen
revenue
was
off
bottom
thirty
million
dollars,
yet
in
revenue,
then
we
thought
would
come
in
the
projections
in
the
five-year
plan
today.
So
a
lot
of
categories
increasing
dramatically
some
look
like
real
estate
collections
of
averaging
from
bouncing
back
seven
percent.
A
Four
point:
six
four
point:
two:
for
most
of
the
categories:
even
raging
net
profits,
bouncing
back
at
nine
point.
Three:
six,
seven
I
just
find
this
difficult,
I
hope
it's
accurate,
but
an
environment
where
inflation
is
extremely
low.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that's
gonna
come
true.
Would
it
be
better
for
us
to
prepare
for
the
worst,
a
slow
recovery
and
restructured
economy
and
hope
for
the
best
and
prepare
this
optimistic
scenario?
That's
question
one.
The
next
question
I
have,
though,
is
the
projections
to
show
anticipated
tax
revenues
declining
in
fiscal
year?
A
O
Sure
jump
in
our
projections,
as
Marissa
mentioned
before
we
worked
with
IHS
and
look
for
their
guidance
on
what
they
thought
would
happen
with
the
economy.
You
understand
that
there
are
risks
with
that.
That's
why
we
wanted
to
keep
some
fund
balance
in
the
plan
and
what
I
wanted
to
keep
some
reserve
I.
Do
think
that
you
know,
as
the
process
goes
on,
we'll
get
more
information.
You
know
every
week
as
as
the
pandemic
evolves,
and
if
that
requires
us
to
change
some
of
our
revenue
projections,
we'll
we'll
definitely
be
looking
at
that.
A
Half
years
ago,
the
budget
was
about
four
billion.
Now
the
budgets
projected
was
gonna,
be
five
point.
One
five
to
the
revised
is
four
point:
nine
in
2019,
the
expenses
were
first
seven,
seven
to
roughly
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
million
less
in
nineteen
than
it
will
be
in
the
projection
of
twenty
one
base
and
the
fact
that
we've
had
a
1.1
billion
dollar
increase
in
spending
in
the
last
four
and
a
half
years.
Another
thing
that
we
could
just
look
as
a
guideline
to
2019
or
2018
expenses
per
department.
A
That
would
be
a
good
rule
of
thumb
to
roll
back
to
those
numbers
and
we
could
avoid
a
tax
increase
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
having
a
tax
increase.
Of
course,
the
board
coming
out
of
this
pandemic
when
people
can
barely
afford
food,
so
I
think
we
could
look
at
2018
or
2019
by
Department,
because
when
I
go
through
to
every
department,
most
departments
are
still
ahead
of
20/20
ones
numbers
than
they
were
in
2019,
which
I
understand.
O
Their
contribution
to
the
school
district
is
another
big
area,
and
police
and
fire
salaries
are
a
big
part
of
that,
and
so
are
other
employee
benefits.
That's
by
far
the
vast
majority
of
where
the
increases
have
been
so
in
terms
of
scaling
back.
There
would
be
some
real
consequences
to
that,
and
some
of
those
costs
are
also
fixed,
like
our
pension
costs
are
fixed
debt
service
costs
are
fixed,
so
not
a
simple
process
and
there
would
be
more
pain
if
we
did
that
I
might
have
to
be
looked
at
to
avoid
tax
increase.
G
Thank
You
president,
just
a
few
quick
questions.
Rob
you
provided
me
with
the
IHS
market
information
for
their
projections
for
wage
Burt,
real
estate
and
real
property
transfer
and
sales
tax.
Can
you
provide
that
on
a
monthly
basis,
because
either
give
us
some
more
input
on
how
we're
gonna
do
going
forward?
I.
N
N
Operation
to
make
cash
flow
projections
that
basis
or
what
we
can
show
you
is
once
we
have
sort
of
that
total
number
for
the
year.
How
we
allocate
that,
then
we
total
number
for
the
year
using
IHS
Markets
recommendations,
and
then
we
look
at
the
month
to
month
and
do
our
own
cash
flow
projections
from
their.
N
G
Flow
projections
because
follow-up
to
some
of
the
questions
other
members
have
made
I
do
have
a
concern
in
reference
to
the
projections.
I
did
go
through,
the
information
was
provided
and
it
looks
like
based
on
the
projection,
the
IHS
market.
We
have
a
significant
bounce-back
in
FY
22,
but
I
want
to
see
that
information,
because
I
do
have
some
major
concerns
in
reference
to
on
the
economy.
The
five-year
plan
also
another
five-year
plan.
G
O
To
that,
as
you
know,
for
a
few
years
we
didn't
have
to
do
a
Tran
cuz.
Our
cash
position
was
so
good.
We
think
this
year
we
will
probably
have
to
do
a
Tran
and
we
are
looking
at
liquidity
facility.
The
pricing
board
came
out
last
week,
so
what
we
have
to
do
is
be
right
at
the
time
when
we're
ready
to
go
to
market,
whether
that
pricing
is
better
than
the
pricing
that
we
can
get
on
our
own
in
the
market
and.
G
Then
also
I
have
a
question
in
reference
to,
and
some
members
of
council
always
said,
this
revenue
reimbursement
that
I
do
anticipate.
We
will
get
at
the
federal
level
and
so
give
us
some
more
perspective
and
I
know.
You
talked
to
council
member
Park
a
little
about
this,
but
give
me
some
more
perspective.
Thinking
of
how
we're
going
to
do
that
considering
we
cannot
do
interim
taxation
and
if
we
get
revenue
reimbursement.
What's
your
plan
on
how
we
use
that
and
what
will
you
do
with
those
dollars
so.
O
G
5
million
you
can
make
a
decision
that
our
first
priority
would
be
to
go
to
this
department
that
department
this
issue.
So
can
you
provide
that
information
to
council
because
there's
a
more
likelihood
than
not
that
we
will
get
some
revenue
reimbursement?
We
don't
know
what
that
amount
will
be.
We
want
to
see
what
their
priorities
will
be
from
the
administration,
because
that
way
we
need
to
continue
counsel
into
the
summer.
We
need
that
probation
committee
hearings
for
transplants
want
to
see
what.
G
Understand
you
talked
about
how
you
anticipated
our
2020
million
dollar
reserve
and
also
doctor
in
code,
the
19
expenses
that
we'll
have
to
pay
for
it,
FY
21,
if
the
state
budget
is
reduced
because
they're
also
dealing
with
a
lot
of
similar
issues
that
we
are
on
once
our
contingency
to
do
positions,
particularly
for
some
of
the
funding
that
we
receive,
that
are
grants
based
from
Health
and
Human
Services,
and
we
have
a
20
million
dollar
reserve.
How
will
we
deal
with
that?
If
we
have
customers
grant
dollars
on
a
state
level.
O
G
L
So
the
budget
anticipates
that
we
would
again
keep
the
same
wage
tax
rate,
so
council
has
the
authority
to
set
that
wage
tax
rate,
regardless
of
continued
insistence.
We
have
said
on
several
occasions
that
we
would
support
the
continuation
of
paper
and
helpful
with
with
banks
in
with
rating
agencies,
to
have
that
outside
validation
of
our
budget
and
five-year
plan.
I
think
we'd
like
to
sue
and
work
with
the
legislature
to
see
if
paper
were
to
be
extended.
Where
is
the
real
benefit
to
the
city.
G
When
we
need
to
help
as
many
people
coming
out
of
this
crisis,
reductions
to
Commerce,
we
eliminate
all
the
workforce.
We
eliminate
funding
in
housing
trust
fund,
in
addition
to
the
fact
we're
getting
rid
of
the
cultural
foreign
dollars,
as
well
as
in
other
parts
of
the
budget
and
an
increase
in
the
parking
tax,
the
numbers
and
wage
tax.
What
type
of
message
does
that
send
to
us,
and
also
to
the
city
as
a
whole,
as
well
as
our
region,
when
we
make
these
cuts,
is
one
thing
to
reduce.
L
Sure
so
I
think
the
message
that
it
sends
is
that
we
were
left
with
a
series
of
extremely
difficult
choices
to
make
as
a
government
as
an
administration
of
proposing
this
revised
budget
plan.
None
of
those
single
decision
points
were
easy.
We
tried
to
make
reductions
in
general
fund
support
for
programs
that
we
know
that
the
other
existing
or
anticipated
federal
support
dollars
coming
in
and,
for
instance,
in
the
office
of
Workforce
Development.
We
expect
that
there
will
be
additional
resources
to
floats,
which
is
where.
L
Trust
fund,
so
we
have
made
general
fund
contributions
for
the
housing
trust
fund
over
the
last
several
years,
seeing
that
there
would
be
substantial,
CDBG
dollars
that
were
coming
to
the
city,
hopefully
more.
We
could
reduce
that
expenditure
to
the
trust
fund
and
use
that
money
to
support
other
programs
for
the
city
and
in
the
case
in
culture.
L
To
try
and
support
those
organizations
where
possible
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so,
but
make
no
mistake.
This
budget
is
built
on
a
series
of
very,
very
difficult
choices.
Any
single
one
will
impact
many
many
people.
We
understand
that
that
trying
to
balance
the
deficit
that
we
had
required
us
to
make
really
difficult
and
drastic
cuts
in
a
number
of
cases.
G
Based
on
the
projection
from
the
city
and
IHS
market,
it
shows
us
really
bouncing
back
in
FY,
22,
23
and
24.
However,
if
the
revenue
perspective,
it
was
team
that
you
mainly
reduced
some
of
those
departments
but
not
eliminate
them.
In
addition,
when
you
talk
about
the
non-resident
waste
act,
you
make
an
increase
in
FY
21,
but
then
you
keep
that
increase
about
the
five-year
plan,
the
wrong
message
and
I'm
situations
here.
B
Under
the
original
designation
of
that
committee,
we
responded
to
quarterly
of
briefings
on
fiscal
condition
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
so
we
will
likely
be
doing
that
conceivably
under
a
monthly
basis
to
get
a
snapshot
of
where
we
are,
and
maybe
someone
burdensome
gonna
be
given
the
uncertainty
of
where
we
are
both
in
terms
of
revenue
and
potential
expenditures
and
member
smiths
and
all
the
other
things
that
have
been
referenced
by
a
number
of
members
on
this
one.
To
say
for
the
record.
That
will
be
one
other
thing.
B
Q
To
see
you
guys
from
the
beginning
of
this
crisis,
the
mayor,
he
staff
in
just
a
position
to
what
the
president
was
briefing
that
the
governor
was
briefing
last
week.
You
guys
had
your
own.
Are
you
here,
flying
the
plane
in
the
process
and
giving
it
at
the
same
time,
so
you
gotta
give
marks
for
that
or
having
said
that,
that
was
produced
with
my
daughter
like
to
talk
about
Kobe
and
how
to
address
it.
Q
Q
Well
so
that
being
said,
a
couple
of
things
come
to
mind
because
my
colleagues
will
clear
about
I,
don't
understand
under
the
capital
budget
process.
Why
there's
a
reduction?
Is
it
because
of
the
cost
of
money
building
dry
down,
because
it
seems
to
me
that
when
we
repair
a
bridge
when
we
are
continuing
as
we
are
for
the
rebuild
project,
it
is
a
local
stimulus
that
is
put
into
lateral
economies
around
the
city.
So
can
someone
explain
to
me
wow.
L
So
nurse
I
think
that
budget
dr.
Mercer
Waxman
can
speak
to
the
reasonings
behind
reducing
the
budget
and
the
capital
borrowing
for
the
future
year.
I'm,
not
sure
that
the
backlog
is
ten
years,
so
we
can
talk
about
it
from
department
by
department.
That
course
I
can
speak
to
the
reasoning
behind
the
reduction.
N
Thank
you
so
yeah.
We
look
to
make
changes
to
the
FY
21
capital
budget,
reducing
it
by
about
forty
two
point:
five
million
dollars.
Our
initial
proposal
was
around
one
hundred
and
seventy
one
now
right
around
one
hundred
and
twenty
eight
million,
and
we
did
that.
The
rationale
was
because
for
every
hundred
million
dollars
we
borrow
that
place
is
about
eight
million
dollars
worth
of
debt
service
on
the
operating
budget,
and
so
we
saw
that
there
was
going
to
be
some
stress
on
our
debt
service
line.
N
We
focused
on
projects
that
were
basically
shovel-ready
things
that
were
already
underway
or
things
where
vendors
already
been
selected.
Some
of
the
projects
we
pulled
out
or
once
the
RFP
process
hadn't
even
started
so
that
they
really
weren't
running.
We
also
looked
at
where
the
alternative
funding,
so
in
the
late
fall,
we
had
done
a
large
pay-as-you-go
transfer
of
funds
into
the
capital
budget,
so
some
departments
had
additional
money
that
they
yet
spin
out
and
had
actually
been
planned
for,
and
so
we
looked
in,
sits
all
who
had
that
pay-as-you-go.
N
So
we
try
to
really
minimize
the
impact
on
control
activity.
We
were
looking
at
where
there
was
carry
forward
so
some
areas
where
we
held
back.
We
knew
there's
dollars
for
prior
years,
where
things
would
continue
to
be
spent.
So
that
is
our
philosophy
and
also
because
for
the
out
years
of
the
capital
program
we
actually
might
we
have
to
do
the
battering
until
24,
when
we
think
there's
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
on
the
operating
side.
We
early
made
changes
to
FY
21.
B
H
You
very
much
council,
president
and
good
morning.
Everybody
I
wanted
to
ask
a
little
bit
about
more
about
the
wage
tax,
so
my
understanding
is
that
the
city
is
projected
to
lose
anywhere
between
80
to
100
million
dollars
as
a
result
of
both
lost
wage
taxes.
The
large
source
of
funds
in
our
general
fund
tax
revenue
I
know
that
it's
not
just
about
this
is
while
this
is
both
about
loss
of
jobs
and
loss
of
businesses.
L
O
N
40%
of
our
wage
tax
comes
from
non-residents
or
folks
who
commute
and
working
with
outside
economists.
They
estimated
that
about
25%
of
those
would
be
the
folks
who
may
be
able
to
be
working
at
home
outside
the
city
and
as
a
result,
not
currently
subject
to
the
wage
tax
as
they
are
required
to
work
out
there,
and
so
we
built
that
in
at
that
level
for
the
near-term,
the
longer-term
we
dialed
that
back
a
bit.
N
We
think
there
will
be
some
permanent
shifts
so
that,
even
though
things
do
open
back
up,
some
employers
may
still
continue
to
say.
You
know
that.
Not
only
can
you
have
that
tax
savings,
I'm
gonna
reduce
my
man,
I'm
gonna
do
XYZ
we're
more
productive
at
home,
and
so
we
then
scale
back
of
the
25
percent.
It's
men
a
percentage
about
me.
We
basically
assume
was
banned
forever,
but
that
some
of
that
would
come
back
and
so
about.
You
worked
with
outside
economists
to
figure
out
what
percentage
that
would
be
are.
H
You
also
working
with
economists
to
analyze
how
much
the
surrounding
counties
might
gain
as
a
result
of
wage
tax
revenue-
that's
no
longer
paid
here,
but
will
also
have
to
be
paid
in
the
counties,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
that,
though
those
workers
may
not
pay
City
wage
tax,
they
will
actually
see
an
increase
potentially
in
the
amount
of
money
that
then
goes
to
the
local
counties.
So
it's
a
major
redistribution
of
dollars
from
the
city
of
Philadelphia
to
surrounding
counties.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
N
H
Great
thank
you.
I
want
to
follow
up
on
questions
posed
by
councilmember
Gaultier,
so
around
the
housing
issue.
How
much
so
the
city
of
Philadelphia
received
almost
40
million
over
40
million
dollars
in
federal
emergency
relief
that
could
be
potentially
designated
towards
housing.
So
how
much
of
the
twenty
six
point:
three
million
in
emergency
CDBG
funds
and
thirteen
million
dollars
in
emergency
solutions
grant
funds
are
going
to
be
used
for
actual
new
emergency
expenses
and
and
not
to
replace
loss
of
revenue
for
existing
programs.
Sure.
L
H
H
H
You
could
just
send
over
the
programs
for
new
spending
plans.
That
would
be
really
helpful,
so
we
can
take
a
look
and
then
I
can
follow
up
on
some
of
those
other
questions.
Zeroing
out,
the
funding
to
the
new
trust
fund
would
basically
eviscerate
the
pet
program,
which
has
been
a
successful
tenant
legal
defense
fund
established
by
Council.
H
It's
been
successful
in
reducing
thousands
of
evictions
every
single
year,
including
like
percentage
significant
whole
percentage,
drops
right
to
counsel,
is
also
zero
funded
in
this
current
budget
and
there's
no
funding
yet
established
to
yet
propose
to
establish
an
eviction
diversion
program,
and
that
is
desperately
needed
even
to
short,
even
modest
protection
against,
as
we
saw
in
the
foreclosure
crisis,
a
mortgage
diversion
program
was
extraordinarily
successful
and
Philadelphia
was
a
model
for
it.
We
would
like
to
see
something
similar
happen
and
it
had
been
previously
dedicated
to
it.
H
We
also
think
that,
with
the
additional
money
it's
important
now,
the
city
has
made
a
really
good
commitment
to
protecting
mortgage
foreclosures,
which
I,
applaud
and
appreciate
the
execution
of
the
phl
rented
this
program
and
the
expansion
of
it
by
a
few
million
dollars.
But
in
a
city
that's
more
than
half
runter
and
in
which
those
renters
more
than
half
of
them
are
already
cost
burden.
I'm
struggling
to
understand
why
the
city
did
not
prioritize
renter
protections
more
as
a
priority.
H
L
L
L
H
I
mean
and
I
want
to
give
time
to
my
council
colleagues
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
if
the
city
got
and
received
40
million
dollars
in
federal
relief,
that
was
supposed
to
go
for
emergency
needs
of
housing,
but
has
basically
just
replaced
the
existing
housing
budget
with
that
money,
it
doesn't
seem
like
we're
doing
that.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president.
L
L
So
if
we
were,
if
we
were
forced
to
do
that,
a
number
of
departments
and
reduce
it
back
to
the
ffs
2011
levels,
we
couldn't
sustain
the
amount
of
staff
that
we
have
now,
because
the
their
salaries
have
gone
up
in
that
time
period
and
to
your
question
about
last
four
verses
regarding
cutting
overtime.
So
we've
reduced
over
time
in
just
about
every
department
and
to
trying
to
vary
by
us.
We
are
very
limited
in
the
number
of
we
expect
to
happen
with
represented
workforce.
L
We
expect
that
the
majority
of
the
layoffs
will
come
within
the
exempt
and
then
the
temporary
part-time
workforce.
This
is
contemplated
now.
Obviously,
if
the
crisis
were
to
get
worse
and
we're
forced
to
make
deeper
cuts
at
a
later
date,
it
could
impact
more
employees.
But
as
of
right
now,
the
the
represented
employees
expected
in
the
layoffs
is
pretty
limited.
N
Goes
back
to
making
that
sort
of
year
11
tax
abatement
contributions
starting
in
FY
22.
So
it's
just
when
you're
that
we
were
drawing
that
back
and
we
reinstated
that
for
22
based
on
our
revenue.
Projections
in
FY
23
is
when
we're
able
to
start
reinstating
many
of
the
reductions
that
we've
been
able
we
had
to
make,
and
so
three
is
when
we're
able
to
start
restoring
those
and
bringing
those
back
in
and
then
towards.
N
The
out-years
of
the
plan
in
24
is
when
we
begin
to
be
able
to
reinstate
the
reductions
to
the
wage
of
the
business
tax
which
would
be
frozen,
so
we
do
sort
of,
as
we
think
we
begin
to
recover,
we're
trying
to
balance
three
things
when
restoring
that
funding,
because
obviously
these
are
services
that
Philadelphians
need
to
being
able
to
step
back.
Some
of
the
revenue
enhancements
put
in
place
and
three
try
and
build
that
fund
balance
back
up
so
that
we
have
a
bit
more
of
a
cushion.
N
O
Yes,
our
treasurer's
office
is
constantly
looking
at
opportunities
for
refunding
outstanding
debt
to
provide
savings.
So
that's
something
that
goes
on
all
the
time
and
we're
doing
refunding
pretty
much
every
year.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
in
this
budget
was
pull
back
on
the
budget
and
the
whole
purpose
of
that
was
going
forward.
So
that
has
been
one
of
our.
D
L
So
that
we
can
raise
funds
for
the
school
district,
there's
only
certain
avenues
that
City
Council
proposed
to
raise
additional
revenue
for
the
school
district
I
think
it's
probably
worthwhile
to
have
an
offline
conversation
with
the
LAT
apartment
and
that
we
cannot
lose
the
understanding
is.
We
can
not
take
away
the
Bateman
from
property
owners
who
currently
receive
it.
L
City
Council
last
year
passed
legislation
to
amend
it,
starting
on
January,
1st
2021,
and
so
that
going
forward
there's
a
reduction
in
the
debated
a
man
over
a
year,
and
we
can
now
adjust
the
benefit
that
individuals
are
already
receiving
once
they
start
receiving
that
abatement
and
so
of
the
revenue
sources
that
we
could
choose
for
the
school
district.
Whether
it
was
maybe
something
moves
over
another
drink
tax
or
the
use
and
occupancy
tax.
We
circled
around
the
world
a
tax
as
being
the
best
way
to
provide
that
needed
additional
revenue.
L
L
F
Thank
You,
mr.
president,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
for
your
testimony
and
for
your
response
to
the
kovat
19
pandemic,
which
is
an
unprecedented
situation
in
our
city
and
across
the
world.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
response
to
my
letter
that
was
co-signed
by
13
of
my
colleagues
and
city
council
around
the
administration's
support
for
the
black
doctors
code.
19
consortium,
so
I
wanted
to
get
several
of
these
questions
on
the
record
and
I
have
a
few.
So
if
you
do
not
have
a
response
you
could.
F
F
Okay
and
for
the
record
on
how
many
contracts
have
been
fast-tracked
during
the
response
to
code
19
and
what's
the
breakdown
of
MBE
WBE
in
DB,
for
all
the
businesses
who
have
received
contracts
for
the
city
and
I
know
you
all
provide
us
this
information,
but
I
want
to
get
a
lot
of
this
on
the
record.
I'm
sure.
L
F
And
quickly,
because
I
want
to
get
through
as
many
of
these
as
possible
in
the
line
of
the
new
positions
that
will
be
created
similar
to
the
question
from
our
colleague
and
Majority
Leader
councilmember
Parker
around
contact,
tracers
and
testing.
We
know
that
a
certain
level
of
upskilling
will
be
needed
for
individuals
to
get
into
those.
F
L
Turn
it
over
to
managing
director
ABAI,
Abernathy
and
deputy
managing
director
tomorrow,
Alexander
to
talk
about
the
contact
tracing
that
that's
going
of
that
work.
When
it
comes
to
the
reduction
of
the
elimination
of
the
office
of
Workforce
Development
as
a
standalone
function,
we
are
keeping
several
staff
members
within
the
Commerce
Department.
We
are
going
to
help
and
from
a
policy
development
perspective
and
a
connection
perspective
for
businesses
and
workforce
and
through
books.
L
I
will
first
about
Amanpour,
where
the
vast
majority
of
the
resources
and
support
for
those
workers
will
come
from
there,
we'll
all
go
through
system
in
order
to
get
that
training.
So
the
vast
majority
of
the
funding
and
support
will
continue
to
exist
there.
The
reduction
and
the
force
development
Israel
in
that
policy
side
better
Bynum
to
Marc
could
speak
to
the
question
of
our
contact,
tracing
and
upscale
happy.
P
To
director
the
you
know,
the
most
important
piece
of
in
contact
tracing
is
people's
ability
to
relate
to
other
people.
That's
really
about
personal
personal
skill.
Is
your
ability
to
talk
to
people
and
make
people
feel
comfortable
with
them?
You
know
there
will
certainly
be
some
training,
that's
necessary,
but
we
don't
think
that
these
are
overly
technical
positions
on
that.
This
is
really
about
people
skills.
F
Provision
along
that
line,
wherein
you
anticipate
trying
to
match
that
up
with
the
contact
tracers
and
some
of
the
other
positions
that
we'll
need
to
build
skills
and
feeling
comfortable.
So
if,
if
the
data
is
showing
that
almost
50%
of
those
individuals
in
Philadelphia
who
are
affected
by
Kovac,
19
and
african-americans,
what
are
we
putting
in
place
to
ensure
that
african-americans
will
be
chosen
for
these
positions
around
the
contact
tracing
issue?
F
P
F
I
want
to
just
get
a
few
submitted
last
week
if
you
could
detail
a
written
list
of
all
the
contracts
that
you
proposed,
keeping
in
the
FY
21
fiscal
year,
broken
down
by
Department
and
reason
to
city
council
and
also
the
length
of
that
contract.
Also,
similarly,
to
mark
my
colleague,
councilmember
Brooks
question
around
the
city
renegotiating
any
of
our
long-term
debt.
F
Now
that
interest
rates
are
lower
our
to
ensure
that
we
are
saving
the
most
amount
of
money
as
possible
and,
lastly,
on
this
set
of
questions
and
then
I
have
more
I
requested
a
response
in
writing
from
the
administration
around
the
demographics
by
gender
and
race
for
each
City
Department,
and
then
also
next
to
that.
If
you
could
break
down
all
the
individuals
who
were
proposed
to
be
laid
off
by
gender
and
by
demographic.
F
In
your
budget
documents,
you
state
you're,
looking
at
the
budget
with
the
racial
and
equity
lens,
yet
you
are
proposing
a
complete
elimination
of
the
Office
of
Arts
and
Culture,
which
would
include
completely
eliminating
the
funding
for
the
African
American
Museum.
While
you
only
propose
decreased
funding
to
other
major
arts
organizations
and
institutions
by
20%.
So
can
you
help
me
understand
how
you're,
using
this
racial
inequity
lens
and
all
the.
L
Lewis,
that
can
speak
in
depth
about
the
process
that
went
through
department
by
department
and
adjusting
for
that
racial
equity,
lens
I,
wonder
stressed
what
I
said
in
response
to
other
questions,
which
is
that
this
budget
has
built
a
number
of
very
difficult
decisions,
including
difficult
decisions
to
cut
or
reduce
support
for
organizations
that
we
have
traditionally
supported
and
that
we
were
actively
working
with
other
founders
specifically
philanthropy
to
backfill
that
support
where
possible.
But
Marissa.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
how
the
decisions
relating
goes
in
the
bedroom?
Sure.
N
So
what
we
did
was
we
firstly
understood
about
the
size
of
the
gap
and
we've
refined
that
over
time
and
then
next
we
had
to
figure
out
okay.
Well,
what
are
our
fixed
costs
that
there's
nothing?
We
can
do
about
our
pension
payments,
our
debt
service,
and
so
then
we
got
to
a
point
where
we
said:
okay.
Well,
the
remaining
amount.
That's
left.
F
B
A
Barely
good
morning,
everybody
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
everyone
effort,
I'm
a
dog
right
to
it
in
the
sense
of
trying
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
and
I
know
that
you
give
a
parameter
earlier
on
how
you
decided
to
raise
taxes.
I
already
believe
that
we
already
are
asking
people
to
pay
too
much
is
too
much
money
right
now
in
taxes
and
so
I
know,
I've
circulated
a
plan.
I
know.
A
Other
members
of
council
have
talked
about
innovative
ways
that
we
could
generate
revenue
for
the
city
without
increasing
taxes,
for
people
or
for
business
or
for
businesses.
I'm
wondering
what
dialogue
took
place
amongst
the
administration
and
what
ideas
did
you
brainstorm
or
come
up
with
as
ways
that
we
can
generate
revenue
for
the
city
immediately
without
increasing
taxes
for
people
or
for
businesses?
A
L
Sure
we
looked
at
a
range
of
options.
Obviously
our
budget
to
get
to
a
pearlized
budget.
We
needed
to
have
a
full
plate
of
options.
The
vast
majority
of
our
balancing
effort
was
around
cut
reductions
of
the
balanced,
an
effort
to
fill
that
six
hundred
fifty
million
dollars
through
new
revenue
for
the
general
fund,
and
we
looked
at
a
range
of
options
to
more
support
earlier,
there's
a
number
of
things
that
we
can
do
that
require
other
governments
to
approve.
L
So
if
we
were
to
try
and
increase
the
sales
tax
or
increase
other
revenue
options
requires
state
approval.
We
also
have
increased
fees
and
fines
in
areas
where
we
can
to
try
and
get
to
cost
of
living.
Adjustments
for
things
like
an
I
feel.
Is
there
an
increase
in
the
commercial
trash
fee
to
try
and
raise
revenue,
but
I
think
tomorrow
we
try
to
come
up
with
ideas
that
we
knew
could
be
implemented
quickly.
N
N
A
A
If
the
recommendations
the
administration
have
essentially
passed
on
to
council
were
to
be
adopted,
specifically
thinking
about
some
of
the
things
that
my
colleagues
talked
about
already
as
a
release
to
possible
cuts
to
funding,
specifically
programs
that
relates
to
teens,
we
talked
about
the
quartiles
program.
We
talked
about
other
initiative,
a
huge
gun,
violence
problem
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
a
wonderment
at
the
in
the
administration
anticipated
the
fact
that
we
are
entering
this
summer
that
the
fact
that
we
have
a
lot
of
Philadelphians
who
are
suffering.
A
R
Hi
good
afternoon
everybody,
so
we
are
definitely
far
underway
and
planning
understanding
that
anything
we
do
is
going
to
be
done
in
concert
with
guidance.
That's
provided
us
to
by
the
Health
Department,
but
we're
very
eager
to
know
that
we
recognize
summer
camp
activities
and
all
work,
ready
and
OST
programs
that
offer,
through
the
summer,
provide
a
safe
refuge
for
children.
So
we
are
hopeful
that
we
will
be
providing
an
opportunity
not
just
to
be
virtual,
but
eventually,
when
opportunity
presents
itself
that
we
will
be
able
to
be
doing
some
kind
of
physical
in
person.
R
We
know
that
could
mean
reduced
enrollment,
but
we
are
very
working
closely
in
councilman
Thomas.
Thank
you
for
the
time
you
gave
to
our
staff
past
week
to
talk
about
this.
We're
pleased
that
the
summer
work
ready
programs
will
continue,
because
we
also
believe
this
is
an
epidural
and
for
adolescents
and
having
income
for
older
youth
is
gonna,
be
critical
during
the
summer,
so
that's
something
we're
very
much
committed
to
and
lastly,
as
it
ties
to
food
access,
we
continue
to
work
with
the
school
district
and
we'll
be
working
in
with
parks
and
recs.
R
A
You
I
appreciate
it
and
I
appreciate
working
with
your
office
and
in
the
interest
of
time,
just
because
I
know
that
it's
limited
right
now.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
that
my
colleagues
have
put
out
there
as
it
relates
to
the
message
that
were
sent
in
Philadelphians
wiki
emails
are
constantly
advocating
for
different
initiatives
and
is
very
difficult
for
us
to
vote
on
a
budget
when
we
get
16
year
olds,
who
are
telling
us
that
the
cultural
arts
program
and
a
different
initiative
that
they
are
part
of
have
essentially
saved
their
lives.
A
L
L
I
think
that
the
one
thing
that
we
would
stress
is
that
they
have
to
meet
the
immediate
needs
that
we
have
today,
which
is
again
where
we
made
the
decisions
that
we
made
or
the
revenue
options,
and
if,
if
we're
not
going
to
do
those
revenue
options
that
there
have
to
be
other
ones,
that
kind
of
in
the
next
fiscal
year
that
we
are
open
to
any
innovative
ideas
that
members
your
staff,
other
council
members
have
to
try
and
address
this
crisis.
It's
it's.
A
I
Thank
You
council
president
I,
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
administration
working
through
these
challenging
times
and
all
our
colleagues.
At
the
same,
let
me
get
right
to
my
questions.
I,
see
and
know
that
we
are
joined
here
today
by
owner
sharp
and
a
lot
of
the
other
commissioners
and
administration
questions
as
we
re
open.
How
do
we
and
I
know
it's
being
worked
on
through
working
groups
now
or
or
wind?
Will
the
release
of
the
our
cos
and
zoning
processes.
I
I
It
is
complicated
and
know
that
you're
all
working
on
it,
because
you
know
it's
important,
as
our
revenues
obviously
are
not
coming
in.
You
know,
finding
a
way
to
have
participation
to
move
on.
You
know
some
of
the
projects
that
your
communities
have
been
a
part
of
just
needs,
an
extra.
You
know
they
just
need
the
the
authorization
and
the
steps
to
be
updated
as
as
real
partners
as
we
move
forward
to
city,
because
it
goes
in
line.
N
The
largest
reduction
in
FY
21
is
for
the
office
of
innovation
and
technology
we
had
worked,
and
that
was
about
11
million
dollars
so
about
25%
of
the
reduction
was
in
the
office
of
innovation
and
technology
in
a
single
department,
and
that's
because
we
work
with
them
to
understand
where
they
have
carry-forward
dollars,
that
they
could
continue
spending
and
continue
working
on
projects
and
other
areas
where
they
be
able
to
defer
for
a
bit
in
order
to
get
the
largest
single
Department
reduction.
We
can
get
back
to
you
with
the
rest
of
that
list.
Okay,.
I
I
If
we
are,
you
know
lacking
the
funding
for
key
spots
where
we
we
should
be
concerned,
what
making
sure
that
our
local
service
providers,
our
local
local
internet
providers,
that
we
all
know
who
they
are
are
doing
all
they
can
to
make
sure
that
our
kids
get
online
and
people
who
are
unemployed,
get
online
and
at
nonprofits,
who
are
our
partners
here
with
the
city?
Have
access-
and
you
know
when
we
come
back
to
the
respective
departments.
I
S
You,
mr.
president,
and
thank
you
and
administration
for
being
here
in
testifying
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
housing
trust
fund,
which
we
saw
of
concerns
on
I'm,
looking
for
future
areas
that
even
the
cuts
with
the
arts
and
culture
and
commerce
as
we
consider
the
safe,
smart,
restart
of
the
economy
and
people
getting
back
into
their
lifestyles.
And
then
we
make
these
cuts.
Who
will
be
in
charge
of
making
a
decision
as
we
look
to
restore
it?
L
Organizations
like
PID
C
so
as
our
neighborhood
CDC's
to
continue
support
neighborhoods,
specifically
small
businesses
and
commercial
corridors,
really
think
that
support
for
small
medium-sized
businesses
is
going
to
be
critical
and
whether
that's
only
funding
or
helping
to
connect
them
to
existing
from
so
I
can
I
can
turn
it
over
to
Sylvia
Howard
our
Commerce
director
to
speak
more
in-depth
on
that.
But
the
Commerce
Department
will
still
be
leading
that
work.
D
And
the
unemployed,
dislocated
workers
and
matching
those
workers
to
businesses
as
those
jobs
come
back
online
and
then
we
will
have
some
work
as
well
in
terms
of
major
projects
that
are
bringing
in
revenue,
because
we
know
that's
more
than
any
jobs
and
there
are
actually
some
leads.
And
so
someone
has
to
answer
those
calls
and.
S
S
S
L
Also
guidance
on
how
businesses
can
reopen
and
restart
their
operations
when
they
move
into
the
other
phase,
we're
working
closely
with
businesses
on
the
ground
here
in
Philadelphia
to
get
their
balance
on
work
specifically
for
them,
as
well
as
how
we
can
facilitate
their
needs
from
a
city
perspective,
because
it's
important
that
they
protect
their
workers
and
their
workers
are
safer,
remain
healthy.
Then
they
can
restart
the
operation
so
that
works
ongoing.
We'll
share
that
information.
L
A
A
B
B
D
You
I
wanna,
follow
up
on
the
point
made
by
a
council
member
Jim
that
now
is
not
the
time
to
reduce
our
investments
in
housing
and
I,
wanted
to
hear
more
about
the
276
million
and
coronavirus
Relief
Fund
money
coming
to
the
city.
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
Department
of
the
Treasury
released
an
FAQ
document
in
early
May,
saying
that
these
funds
can
be
used
for
eviction
and
homeless
prevention.
D
L
So,
as
we
discussed
in
the
briefing
last
week,
there
was
working
to
facilitate
the
drawdown
of
those
dollars
as
well
as
to
match
our
expenditures
with
the
best
funding
source
from
them,
whether
it's
through
the
Cara's
act
or
through
other
funding
sources.
So
we're
happy
to
have
that
discussion
about
how
best
to
allocate
the
money
that
we
receive.
C
The
question
that
could
be
submitted
as
we're
planning
to
councilman
Hina's
point
as
we've
been
planning,
for
how
does
the
CBA
planning
and
all
these
things
move
up?
One
of
the
issues
has
come
up
with
the
private
building
sector
is
that
we
are
wedded
to
this
March
21st
permitting
stuff
and
that
there
are
hundreds
of
permits
online
that
need
to
be
approved
and
process
so
that
people
can
get
their
financing
and
other
things
things
going.
C
L
C
Marcel's
been
working
with
us
closely,
but
just
to
give
you
an
example,
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
with
approvals.
This
is
more
of
how
we're
going
to
process
all
those
permits.
A
lot
of
concern
around
the
water
department,
things
just
not
moving.
So
how
are
people
working
virtually
if
somebody
needs
to
pay
attention
to
that?
That's
important,
and
then,
lastly,
before
we
end
this
budget
process,
we
really
I
really
want
to
see
a
digital
plan,
Oh
whitey
plan
for
how
the
city
is
going
to
use
its
capital
infrastructure
to
help
bridge
that
gap.
B
Is
is
that,
right
now,
construction
is
the
one
activity
that
we
have
some
level
of
relaxation
of
the
shut
down
water
and
as
the
Councilwoman
reference,
there
is
a
significant
number
of
projects
that
had
been
teed
up.
That
was
obviously
in
a
different
economy.
Some
of
them
may
be
put
on
the
back
burner
as
a
result
of
you
know.
What's
going
on
in
the
economy
and
their
likelihood
of
the
need
for
additional
space
residents
or
commercial,
there
are
some
things
ready.
B
My
understanding
is
that
things
such
as
the
zoning
continues
to
have
challenges
on
terms
of
actual
have
meetings,
things
associated
with
that
I.
Think
that,
given
the
lack
of
revenue
and
being
able
to
position
whatever
we
can
actually
do
to
generate
some
tax
base,
ie
raise
tax
and
purses
of
services
and
materials
under
construction.
I,
really
like
you
to
kind
of
give
us
a
better
response
than
you
just
gave
in
terms
of
who's,
actually
going
to
be
responsible
for
pushing
that
envelope.
E
So
there
was
a
mock
hearing.
That's
happening,
I
think
today
to
try
to
see
what
we
can
stand
up
as
far
as
this
video
that's
working.
What's
not
so
good
feedback
from
that
by
the
end
of
the
day
today
and
work
through
sort
of
technical
issues
with
the
actual
Zoning
Board
itself
and
I
think
we're
also
reaching
out
to
TV
and.
K
Thank
You
mr.
and
I
want
to
stay
along
the
lines
of
construction.
One
of
the
things
you
say
in
the
plan
is
that
rebuild
is
expected
to
continue
as
planned,
relative
to
investments
in
park,
libraries
and
rec
centers.
What
does
this
mean
for
the
next
round
to
rebuild
sites,
because,
when
I
think
rebuild
I
think
builds
in
their
development,
but
I
also
think
about
the
repaving
of
streets?
K
These
are
things
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
now
because
there's
a
reduced
amount
of
traffic
in
the
street
and
or
mid
programs
that
were
operating
in
people-centered
locations.
So
tell
me
where
we
are
with
the
next
round
of
rebuild
sites,
an
issue
and
another
round
of
bonds
to
get
them
started,
and
how
will
the
changes
to
the
capital
budget
if
at
all
impact
the
repaving
goals
of
the
streets
department?
So.
L
L
But
the
vast
majority
of
our
spending
is
in
people
and
we
continue
to
spend
on
those
people
we're
still
providing
services,
whether
trash
collection,
the
police
or
fire
health
services.
Excuse
me
those
all
continue
and
if
not
are
happening
at
a
higher
rate
than
what
happening
before
and
that
Marisa
can
you
speak
to
some
of
the
natural
Saudis
would
be
able
to
find
sure.
N
So
a
good
example
of
those
natural
savings
and
some
areas
has
to
do
with
overtime.
For
example.
This
is
the
time
of
year,
we'd
be
doing
a
lot
of
special
events,
things
on
the
perfect
and
that
generates
overtime
for
police
fire
streets
department,
public
property.
Those
events
aren't
happening.
Also,
libraries
have
been
using
overtime
to
make
sure
that
they
can
maintain.
The
opening
hours
currently
closed
continues
to
get
paid.
There's
no
over
types
of
savings
that
we're
seeing.
L
I
can't
speak
administration's
about
compliance
with
the
American
with
Disabilities
Act.
When
this
administration
started,
we
took
a
deep
dive
at
the
issue,
issued
an
RFP
and
contract
with
them
to
do
a
study
with
facilities,
as
well
as
our
own
platforms,
to
determine
what
is
accessible.
What
is
now
and
help
us
plan
for
how
to
make
it
more
accessible
I'm.
So
that
is
the
contract
that
is
from
the
mayor's
office
and
that's
the
push.
L
A
Yes,
we're
really
fresh
the
time.
I
just
had
two
questions,
real
quick.
This
could
be
looking
at
where
we
are,
as
a
city.
I
know,
there's
the
decisions
that
were
tough
and
how
we
decide
on
cut
something
for
that
capacity,
but,
as
cherished
recent
services,
I
had
to
get
in
a
number
of
complaints
and
I
bet.
My
colleagues
have
as
well
as
it
relates
to
the
cleanliness
I've
talked
to
the
Commissioner
over
there
and
I
know
that
there's
a
staffing
shortage.
A
So
my
question:
there
is:
what
do
we
plan
to
do
to
keep
the
city
clean
as
a
relates
to
this?
The
issues
that
you
guys
are
facing
over
there
and
then
also
I,
wanted
to
know
if
the
administration
had
any
task
force
that
they
planned
on,
creating
or
specifically
to
address
the
fiscal
issues
or
task
force
to
address
any
issue
that
might
feel
like
I
mean
a
demographic
that
might
be
suffering
from
disparities,
so
I
try
to
keep
that
in
as
fast
as
possible.
Thank
you,
gents.
The
president.
Thank
you.
I.
B
T
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
yes
councilman.
We
had
a
brief
conversation,
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
having
no
doubt
from
the
code
that
problems
with
attendance.
Our
goal
is
to
try
to
get
those
results
as
quickly
as
possible
so
that
we
can
restore
the
services
that
the
city
is
used
to
we're
also
trying
to
work
on
a
plan,
definitely
to
address
our
commercial
corridors
that
was
pointed
out
by
a
Councilwoman
gaultier.
So
those
are
the
things
that
the
challenges
that
we're
going
to
face.
T
A
B
F
Just
want
to
get
all
these
on
the
record
and
then
I'll
wait
for
the
responses
from
your
office
council
president.
Thank
you.
So
much
municipal
energy
master
plan
fit
into
the
budget.
As
far
as
maintaining
our
goal
of
80
percent
renewable
energy
by
2050,
is
there
a
room
for
it
in
the
capital
budget?
Just
because
we
are
short
now
doesn't
mean
we
can
ignore
the
long
term
savings
in
the
environmental
equity
which
creates
health
problems
and
more
costs,
mostly
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
F
Property
tax
increases
we've
received
all
this
information,
but
I
want
to
get
it
on
the
record.
How
much
will
new
taxes
breathes
for
this
budget
broken
down
by
each
proposed
increase
for
the
record?
How
much
was
the
city's
budget
increase
since
January
2016?
How
much
has
real
estate
tax
collections
increase
since
2016?
How
much
of
those
real
estate
increases
were
approved
by
City
Council?
Can
you
quantify
how
many
additional
exempt
staff
positions
were
created
since
2016
and
in
what
agencies
and
departments
and
with
that
increase
in
the
number
of
positions?
L
B
Request
that
any
question
that
was
asked
it
was
not
answered
today,
we
will
get
direct
answer
from
the
administration.
We
have
people
on
our
staff
taking
a
list
of
all
of
the
information
and
do
the
follow
to
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
get
responses,
so
I'm
gonna,
again
apologize,
but
some
things
I'm
definitely
not
in
control
of-
and
this
is
one
of
them
so
that
we
will
be
resetting
to
accommodate
Channel
City.
