to meet with several of you just to give you a little bit
of intro as to who I am. So, most immediately I come from
Cook County as the budget director. They called me the
pandemic. Budget director.
I'm
I'll be.
I'm there.
I'm there, they started in January 2020. I thought that
that was going to be, you know, great times cuz the county
was in such great financial standing, even back in 2020 and
2 months later, as you all know, covid-19 hits over the
past, almost three years, three and a half years have
really works to help the county recover, its Financial
standing in the midst of a global pandemic. I'm not only
responsible for passing and developing the budgets they are
but also in managing
The Elmo.
They almost 1.6 billion dollars in covid-19 Financial
Funding that they received from the, the US Treasury, as
well, as from the state. And I, I know that that's
something. That's a great interest here. To, as we continue
to use, the funding is provided to the city as well to help
recover our communities. Prior to my time at the county. I
actually from my background, I'm a lawyer by trade and
finance attorney where I started my career at Billy. Austin
in the global Finance group working at in Capital Market
deals, Commercial Banking deals here today. She deals with
anything that a Commercial Bank was a part of those types
of transactions for almost eight years as subsequent to
that, I come from a family of public servants. And I knew
that was being pulled back into public service myself. So I
left the sidley Austin in 20
13 +
13 and did a very short stint at University of Chicago Law
School working on a pipeline diversity issues, trying to
get more people of color into the legal profession, and
really working to feed principles of equity and diversity
at the University of Chicago. But then was called by dear
friend of mine, Sharon Fairley, been appointed the
independent, the chief administrator of ipra at the time to
come and work with her to build, a new agency which is now
known as the civilian office of police accountability. I'm
so we did that lost it. You know did some really great work
seated, some really foundational Concepts there and was
pulled by the assessor. Relax for the Katy to become his
chief administrative officer, which I did for a year until
I was called by Toni preckwinkle, president of the county
to be hurt by the director. So I think over the course of
my career, I have looked to
Work on really fat.
Really challenging issues. I'm an issues that really have
impact the day-to-day lives of those in our community. I
came to Chicago in 2003 to attend the University of Chicago
Law School and this is my home. Do I count it an honor to
be before you to do this work because I love my city, just
like, you love your city and I look forward to working with
each of you to really continue the progress board for the
city. I joining me today, I'm very fortunate. I wasn't able

all of us. You know, look for it and look forward to trying
to help you to help us to not have to raise taxes, or not,
have to do a lot of other things, and figure out other ways

done the neighbor.

what they doing with their budget. Also, I think that's
very important because as I say, we are all connected on

know, as I told you, when I met you, the first thing I
learned during the 96 Democratic Convention, the most
important person to know, is the budget director. So, I
look forward to working with you. Thank you. Thank you.
Light.
Light up moments. Okay, there we go. Thank you chair is
still autumn in Martin last time I checked out director.
Good to see you. Yes. Had a terrific conversation with you
last week. One thing that I wanted to uplift and I think
this is really happening in the terrific work that you and
your former colleagues, did at the county level was
implementation of things, including, but not limited to our
funds because I think especially us on city council were
especially attuned to political
Shoes.
Shoes to policy related matters, but I think that there
isn't enough service given thought, given to implementation
to make sure that after that Perez, press release is done.
That groundbreaking happens that we stay on track and I
think about things like it modernization, the work that is
under way. That's going to take several years and that's
really going to hopefully set the foundation for us to
really be a twenty-first-century. Governing body is not
your city council but stay with your ship and so just want
to underscore in my opinion the continued need that the
issue of implementation merits in and I I think that Sushi
Park did a commendable job of leading us through a very
tumultuous time and hope that you can take all of those
Lessons Learned by now that the two of you have been in
close contact to make sure that we really make sure that
you hit the ground running in all the ways we need you to
form an implementation standpoint. So
very,
Very thankful that you're willing to stay in government
service and take on comparably large challenge, very much
commend. The mayor for his terrific appointment and look
forward to working with you picture. Thank you.
Autumn.

you. If you'd like, okay, by yourself, please.
Hi, my name is Ken clothes from the executive director of
the foundation of little village. So the little village
business incubator was created as a special-purpose entity
for the property. So the owner of the property is the
little village business incubator. And that special
purpose. Entity has one partner, which is the foundation of
little village, which is a nonprofit currently. The, we
called the L vvt-i, the little village business incubator.
It is not a non-profit, but I am working with our CPA to
get that nonprofit status. So we are currently paying
property taxes on the, on the property.
Does that answer?
Does that answer your question? You have gotten all the
documents together for not for profit status, that you can
come off. The roll, is that
Not.
Not necessarily, that's what Ron says. But here I'm going
to, I don't think I understand the full tax implications
this point but I was attracted to help develop this
project. I'm so yes, it's a special-purpose entity and it
will continue to pay taxes throughout the governor's.
That's 3 years. And after that, we're going to see if
there's a way to put it into a community shared agreement,
so they could have Community ownership. So we're trying to
figure that out of me. Rodriguez said, this is an important
Corridor for the city and we need to continue to grow small
businesses, which in turn creates tax revenue. So I support
this month. Thank you.

All-Star Game.
Nikki Bella.
Is there?
Just bear with me for a second as I'm trying to figure out
how to get on this.
The coffee.
The copies of what you should what you're seeing on. Your
screen is coming around right now, just because it'll be
it'll look really small on the screens. I want to make sure
you can have it in front of your your face. You can see the
small print but I thank you for your patience. As we both
of us, you're coming in into the office with the mayor.
Have you know, I've been working over the last 4 weeks to
just get ourselves acclimated only to the city but also for
me to the city's budget cycle. And so I am excited to put
the schedule in front of you. I will start with the end.
Say.
Nothing.
Saying, the schedule still gets us to passing a budget
before Thanksgiving? Obviously, as you'll see at the
bottom, dates are subject to change, but any changes made
from the dates that you see, before you hear will be
communicated to you ahead of time because we strive to keep
you apprised of any changes in the budget calendar ahead of
those changes. So, I'm, as you can see the budget cycle
this year starts off about a month behind where it was last
year. I've been told that last year was unusually early, so
I'm okay with this year. Being a little bit behind, not
behind just a little bit later than last year, so will be
kicking off with Department.
The red.
Through an email, communication starting on June 30th with
the actual kickoff to Department 10th and 11th of July. In
the system will open two departments to begin their budget
request July 12th. We're still in conversations with the
Chairman's office because we are inviting all of the new
Alders to budget 101. And I know that sounds very
Elementary, it will not be Elementary but it's just the
best way to communicate what it is that we're trying to
indicate which is we want to make sure that any new Alder
and frankly any other that would left love to understand
the complexity of the city budget the ins and outs.
I'm a.
I'm in.
I'm in able to just understand the process from beginning
to end. So those will be mid-july. We will put together a
number of date so that you're able to attend the one that
best fits your schedule. And we'll be publishing those
dates hopefully in the next week, just so you have him and
in this year you'll see that we have moved up the part of
the budget cycle that involves Community engagement. I'm in
the same way that we strive to to engage with others.
Throughout this process, be want to make sure that we're
also engaging the community during the process and not at
the end of the process. So they'll be a series of budget
Community engagement, round tables that will be occurring
in July of this year with the mayor with department, heads
and so forth. Just that we're hearing from them before as
were developing the budget.
The.
the by
The bike.
The budget system closes this year on August 7th and then
we get to work preparing. Not only the budget forecasts but
also developing the budget through series of conversations
with Natalie, our departments with you. And with the
community, you may have seen the executive order that was
released on Friday of last week. Pushing the delivery of
the budget, forecasts out to the end of September, but we
intend to publish it on September 13th this year, just
given all that's going on in the economy, but also,
All the time that we need for our departments to provide us
data, to make us successful and more accurate forecasts.
Once that's released that leads us into forecast briefings
with the elders, but each of you that will be setting up,
just to give you a sense of where we are from a financial
standpoint before we actually develop the final budget.
Will become.
Will be calling a special council meeting on October 11th
the day after our briefing, with you, where the mayor will.
Well, release his budget after his speech. The following
week, we will begin our department. Budget hearings first,
with the budget director myself to see if I won the
Comptroller time before you. And then, over the next two
weeks Department, budget hearing I will say that, you know,
where we are, ambitious, that will be able to finish all
those Department hearings by the 27th of October. But
knowing that there is some room for cushion. If we need to
call any departments back, or we need more time with
departments before, each of the elders. After that, the
budget phase will begin where you're able to suggest and
proposed amendments to the mayor's executive budget
recommendation and that will close on November. 3rd will be
introducing a supplemental ordinances either on the 1st of
November or the 3rd of November, depending upon where we
land on finalizing in.
All the department hearing.
All the department hearing and then we'll have a series of
additional Council meetings at the moment. The first one
being, the second one, being on the 8th of November in
between the 1st and 8th of those Council. Meetings will
have additional finance and budget committee hearings on
the 6th and 7th of November all with the final vote. On the
budget proposed to occur by November 15th of this year. As
I said before these dates are subject to change, we hope to
not change them, but we do understand that we have built in
some cushion. I'm into this. Even this compressed timeline
to the extent that we need to in order to have additional
hearings. The additional council meeting
battle.
Thank you. The only thing I want to add to dishes at doing
the time of the budget Community engagement round tables.
We also as a council will be work with individual. All the
men are regions of of the city and carcasses is what to get
input from everybody respected as well and it'll be built
in around the time of the community engagement as well. So,
I will be sitting sitting out those dates as well from the
committee aspect, how to participate based on, where you
decide you want to fit in with your carcass with your
reason or or individually. So, we'll be getting that.
this is,
Such as well.
This is well after we do the budget 101 with our, our new
orders. But any questions do the committee. The budget
committee has itself will be meeting to talk about
priorities within is, is that what I'm hearing? What we'd
like to do is meet with again, based on the parties that
maybe Regional parties that maybe caucus priorities in the
bed, individual parties. But we do want to get all of that
in put in before the system closed is cuz I did to the
extent. We can't. We want to get as much in the process
before we get to the amendment phase is when we start
getting the members, we got to figure out what we got to
take out and we're going to add in but will try to get all
of this stuff in on the front end as much as possible but
those items on the table but as the bosses are not wait
until after the budget is presented to try to go figure it
out, then start to do that in on the front end. So that's
that's what you want to put that around this time around
Community engagement.
Beatrice.
I appreciate the.
I appreciate that and then isn't is this to occur at the
same meeting location on the community. But we also want to
hear back from members of council as well or on their
specific concerns an ass as well. Okay, thank you. I
appreciate that.
Another question.
Audra Martin.
It to.
Two questions when I was wondering if you happen to know,
if it's been released publicly who is on the mayor's
Advisory Board as it concerns tensions cuz I know that
while this won't necessarily play a leading role in the
current in the upcoming budget cycle and over the next
number of years that that's going to be a big topic of
discussion. I do know that the CFO is in the midst of
convenient that task force, I don't know to what extent or
when those names will be released publicly but she is in
the midst of beating it, okay? Like the next day or two. So
it if you if you were someone else when the administration
can provide through the chair, anything that we should be
aware of, in terms of what specifically they've been tasked
with how many times they're going to need and over, what
period of time, cuz we're very anxious to see what sort of
recommendations they come out with. But also
Kristen.
To know what the cross section is. The membership of of the
panel would be helpful. My my last question is about your
in your experience with Accounting in recent years. I'm
wondering if you can just speak two ways in which regarding
the specific board members of their involvement with the
Duration of the budget Buffet.
Duration of the budget before it was proposed to similar to
or distinct from what time is laid out here.
so, at the
So I think it came in several forms one known as a budget.
I was constantly talking to Commissioners throughout the
year and so kind of has in the same way that I spoke with
you during our meetings over the past few weeks like what
what is top of mind? What should I be thinking about, as
we're forming, a budget of the commission is on the county
site. Also speak really regularly with each of the elected
officials and department heads. And so any priorities that
they had, they were working directly with those departments
as German Irvin said before, they're putting in their
budget request. And then I'm obviously the amendment phase
is also one of the areas where we would be actively
engaging with the Commissioners and the way that we kind of
tweaked, it was the budget director is. If there was any
particular amendment that a commissioner was interested in
because of a priority and initiative, that was really
important. We would work directly with the impact of
departments before.
amendments were
Amendments were Forest. We will make sure that you know
they were budget-neutral that the revenue sources were
there and that the priority for that elected official was
also in line with the commissioner is well but slightly
different, but there were, it was throughout the year, they
work directly with department and then they will also do it
with him in the face.
Any other questions?
Okay. Alright. Well, if anything else comes up later,
please feel free to reach out to the to the committee or to
the director. Again, this is this is tentatively trying to
keep it as close to 2 as possible to give it to understand
that things may come up in this Majestic, may need to be
made in this particular process but didn't want to try to
talk about it sooner rather than later seeing no other
business before the committee or entertain a motion to
adjourn for some more bald men.
The.
Did I? I'm sorry, but I miss him. I apologize. So we're
wine that one.
My apologies, you are absolutely correct.
