Okay. Yes, ma'am. You may proceed. Thank you. Good morning.
Everyone. Well, good afternoon. This is been a long
morning. So I would like to have my first cup of the
comment to be definitely in support of a trooper that's
been here in Chicago fighting for rights of workers
fighting for the rights of the people making sure civilian
police accountability get past fighting to make sure that I
School stay open. And so I think a lot of discourse with
the city council should be resolved and should be able to
fight through and work through.
the people that
The people's agenda and saw Carlos Rosa has been an
outstanding outstanding all the men as far as standing up
for the rights of the workers and the immigrants as far as
standing up for the rights of the wrongfully convicted and
making sure that we have civilian police accountability in
our city. And so accountability is what Carlos Rosa stands
for workers rights is what he stands for making sure that
housing is a human right is what he stands for. And so yes,
I'm here to throw my support behind the all the men and
knowing that as an Alderman and as a leader of this city
that he has done a great job and it's showing that making
sure that citizens in Chicago have their right have their
wages have civilian police.
can
accountability boy
Accountability board making sure that another laquan
McDonald doesn't happen in our city what we had to spend 5
million dollars almost 16 million dollars to laquan
McDonald family. And so we're very grateful for that. And
also making sure that our communities are safe through
civilian police accountability. And so we're very grateful
to that and also holding
the business Community accountable to make it sure that
workers have their right and so that's very important to
our city here in Chicago and making sure that our agenda
falls through which is the people's agenda and so I'm here
today to have Carlos Rose and know that in public. I'm
letting you know that I you have our full support in your
role as city councilman. Thank you.
Thank you, ma'am. I next we're going to have an answer net
Simmons.
As soon as you have two minutes man, I am here in support
of the alderman Carlos Rosa and we all are adults. Okay,
and it was kind of funny to see that everybody that's
supposed to be his colleagues asked for his resignation.
He's here in the community working for the people.
how
Helping a people and some of you all we look at you all
check track records. It's all not the same. So that's to be
fair. And that's all I got to say.
thank
Thank you, ma'am. Next will have Zoli.
first of all
Rosa en Rose every black person that was in here on
Thursday and apology. That's the only one number two is he
should be required to get some type of mental health
counseling because if you have to do all that just for
people to not vote if it's to see if this is a this should
be a
Where is City or not? That was insane. So and then
whispering in people's ears that if they do not side with
him that there will be no zoning in their Ward, but he's a
leader f*** out of here. Anyway, he's the same as Hispanic
Alderman that told a well-known Community activist that
black people reside in the basement and Hispanics reside on
the first floor. Okay. How do you paint Mark Fishman your
old landlord you had to pay $65,000 to in back rent a
mascot for justification and you're out here trying to
focus focus for us to live with the legal in our
neighborhood when we don't even have enough stuff in our in
our neighborhood. So since you're such a public servant and
want the illegal to keep coming
I need for you and your boyfriend Brian to rescue them from
all 22 districts. Like you rescued your Pitbull and bring
them to Avondale on your front lock yard, and you owe us an
apology.
you
You definitely always about you and I should figure out
when IRS coming to visit is coming here to give an audit
because again 330 million dollars is a lot of money for
them for you for the Venezuelan to still be at the police
district. So you figure that out before you threaten people
about zoning and stuff. You don't even need to be in that
chair. You need to be talking to a psychiatrist to figure
out
Is wrong with you?

All of you are birds of a feather. That's why you all fly

talking about all the quick away. You heard me you saw me

part of the problem and not the solution their finger up to
implement fingers up to Road and 3rd.
Thank you. Mr. Blakemore. Next will have on Linda Johnson.
Good afternoon. Thank you for caring for allowing me to
speak. I was just going to sit here and really be observing
for this meeting. However, when he came in rows up when he
came in is protection I said to myself I'm going to have to
sign up and speak a little bit because I don't care how
good you do. You say don't let your good be evil spoken up.
So you could do all the good in the world. But what
happened on the other day when I was here and I had the
opportunity to speak but I had to leave the bad a doctors
appointment. What's a disgrace and anytime you block a
black woman from coming in to be a quorum? I got an issue
with that because I take that personally so I don't care
what good you did prior to what you did on the other day
was disgusting and so my thing is wherever they gave you
whatever they took from you should have been because there
was intimidating going on when you tell people you're not
going to join.
stop and I hope
Stop and I hope they remember that so when you don't do it
that they get on you about it and then walk around the keep
for making a quorum snatching the podium know the devil
turning off the lights turn off. That was a disgraced. We
pay money for you all to sit in this seat to represent us.
And if you can't represent us correctly, then we got a
problem with that and then if we looking at young people
what example are we setting? We're trying to change the
project. We are young people look at us. We are the
examples and if we clown up and they already clown in the
street. So do we want to validate that behavior? I'm not
going to validate he has his behavior was unprofessional.
It was ugly. And anybody that want to validate that prior
to what good he did. It. Don't work for me at all. Now. I'm
here cuz I'm representing imeson Park. I really believe
that we
play
close and said no to Sanctuary City bottom line because we
cannot couldn't we cannot take care of the ones that we
have here? I always say this. How could you fit to lick
your phone? If you don't shut the fountain off, you can't
so you got to think about that. Listen to the people that
put you here. We don't want it and we have a right to say
we don't want it and it's nothing personal against the
people that are here. We understand that pain, but we don't
have the resources to take care of them.
we feel
We feeding them with clothes in them.
We feeding them with closing them. We shall tell them we
protecting them and we're not even doing that bar own
citizens. Have we put a woman bus on Roosevelt Road? And we
put a woman bust on Chicago Avenue and Sacramento. Can we
put a water bus any place that I people are I did Street
Outreach. So I know that we got people struggling with
mental illness and homelessness. We have put this bike and
stuff as priority. How is that possible charity begins at
home? Then it spreads a bra. It'll go abroad and then
stopped here.
Thank you, ma'am. I'll final speaker today. Is Miss Carter
Trust?
could a
Good afternoon.
let
Let me just say to each one of you here that has been
elected to represent the citizens of the city of Chicago.
And that is why I am here. I am here to represent my
community. I am from the Austin Community. I am one of the
people who have been fighting on behalf of imeson park
riding to keep our park open to our community. That is what
matters to me. I don't care really about the politics of
it. I was not here on Thursday. Thank goodness.
Thank goodness that I was not here to witness what
happened, but I did see the videos because it was
videotaped. And so for those of you who are saying, well it
wasn't on camera. It is on some cams. Maybe not the ones
that you are pretty too but let me just say this it is so
important for us to remember that you have a responsibility
to your constituents voter suppression of any kind is
unacceptable and it doesn't matter who is doing it. We
bought in this country my people
all before he
all the
Over four hundred years for the right to vote for the right
to have our vote count for right to be heard as Citizens in
this country. Now what seems to be happening and I'm going
to say seems to be happening because I can only tell you
about what I see in my options.
so
So what seems to be happening, is that the black people cuz
that's what I'm concerned about because I'm black first. It
isn't that I'm not concerned about other people, but I'm
Black and I'm concerned about my people first.
And so when I stand here and I speak it is on behalf of
people who look like me who I've been satisfied who have
been marginalized who have been counted out.
and I
And I'm tired of it and I know that some of you sit and
stay with a black people have never really come to City
Hall like they have lately and that's true. We're here now
and let me just say this, but those people who feel like
I'm being really hard on Brandon Johnson any of you who
have been here for any substantial amount of time know that
I gave daily to buy inhale and I gave one even worse and I
also gave it to Lori so that there's in the fight. I just
started I have when my people are not being treated fairly
when we are not being seen and heard you're going to hear
from me.
Stop. You don't want to hear.
Stop. You don't want to hear from me. Then I'm suggesting
that you fix some things that are broken within the city
council.
I can't really say how I feel about all the Monroe. So
thank you, but trust that you mistrust mistrust your time
is up.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you for your coming that will
include public comment for this meeting. We are going to
start on a item number nine other items is due waiting on a

so
So that's under the budget amendment for the technical
Amendment. That's not a part of this salary resolution. So
then this is regular these are non-union employees that are
getting regular adjustments moving forward both Union and
non-union employees. How many how many of these employees
are we talking about? The city of Chicago has roughly
30,000 employees and it would cover all those that are
currently on Pace schedule and how many non-union employees
are added to this pay schedule a schedule with compression.
So employees were transition to pay schedules as part of
compression not all employees have been included in that
automatic employees are under the personal line for the
other part of the depression study.

Are we?

Ottoman work with there. She wasn't resolution reflects

pay schedules.
at
I think the answer or Alderman Quinn's question and the
only reason I I not going to item number one is because
there was a last-minute change that I don't think everyone
has yet, but I think to Alderman Quinn's question. Could
you answer all the questions even on that item is in before
so it's at this particular point to get clarification.
Ike
I can try to address that question. So not every employee
in the city of Chicago is on a defined pay schedule is part
of the salary compression study. That is still ongoing. The
city of Chicago has been looking at Market rates for those
employees that are not currently on Pace schedules and
looking to move them onto appropriate pay schedules at
their market rate compared to our peers in other local
agencies and local governments automatic staff have not
been part of that compression study. So we have a universe
of about 900 positions.
assault
It's automatic staff that are what we call special rated
automatic Stafford to find by the alderman. Their pay is
adjusted as the older person sees fit. Whereas other
special rated employees in the city of Chicago have usually
been hired at the budgeted rate and may be subject to
coalesce from time to time.
Is it?
Does that answer your question?
Yeah, I didn't even answer before the automatic staff or
not and not part of the compression process right now.
That's a problem because every year we're going to be right
back here talkin about or automatic staff who have been
underfunded for the 12 years. I've been so I think it we
may gain more clarity later in a meeting. But your point is
taken out of the spot. I just remember this correctly this
feels like it's related to the executive order from the
tail end of last term. Is that accurate?
I'm sorry, I'll do what I'm not sure which I believe that
there is an executive order related to examining the the
pay structure for our our to the employee this is that
correct? So part of I believe the exact before you
referring to is about gender based at pay Equity valuation
for that or know what I'm just going to table it because
I'm glad they were voting on this tube.
honest
just like every
Just like every every time we come to budget season. We
look at the vacancies in the department. We say nobody
wants to work for the city of Chicago were often times
people do not want to work for the city of Chicago because
we're not offering competitive salaries. And so I'm I'm
glad that we're doing this like you should work for the
city like it is any other professional company. I know that
we're never going to compete exactly with what you could
get on the private Market, but I'm I'm glad there were
taking a step that brings us a little bit more competitive.
Thank you, sir.

of Chicago for year 2020 400. I don't know before there's
also been a substitute of Ben sit around everyone, but do
you have a motion to accept to substitute?
So moved by vice-chair league in the ejection. So hoarder
The Substitute is not before us director Guzman.
it after
Good afternoon has been budget director for the city. So
before you is the motor fuel tax fund ordinance, which
allocates the budget for the motor fuel tax to various line
items across the budget. I'll go through these one at a
time and then take any questions that you have. So first in
subsection a roughly 10 million three hundred and $2,226 of
the mft revenue has been appropriated for costs related to
the sign management and guardrail maintenance within the
Department of Transportation.
so I can
secondly one point
Secondly, 1.5 million dollars of the mft find is being
allocated to the project development traffic studies within
fun 310 under the Department of Transportation.
neck
Next 36602000 $133 and fifty dollars are being appropriated
for cost with electrical operations construction and
maintenance services within the Department of
Transportation.
neck
Next 50718574 dollars with a of mft proceeds as being
appropriated for in-house Construction Services related to
bridge maintenance cost within the Department of
Transportation.
vinyl
And finally within the Department of Transportation 8207571
dollars is being appropriated to support the cost related
to Citywide services for Landscaping Maintenance and
Boulevard median maintenance within the Department of
Transportation.
neck
Next under subsection D 20396000 and $9 is being
appropriated to the Department of the new Department of
Fleet and facility management to cover the costs related to
energy cost of the street lighting system.
and
And then within the department of Streets & Sanitation under
subsection C 18758985 dollars of mfte funding is
appropriated for the purchase of road salt beet juice and
snow fencing in relation to the street operation snow and
ice removal program. And then finally $2000000 2045600 and
$2 is being appropriated within the department of Streets &
Sanitation related to the Bureau of Sanitation snow and ice
removal program.
and
And then finally in subsection two more things at
sub-section eat, we have three million dollars of MSP
funding appropriated to this ETA.
and
And then finally got in subsection f230 $4,000 appropriated
to the Department of Transportation for us on salary and
wages for workers.
without
But I don't take any questions that you have any questions
automobile goose.
Make mr.
aggressive German
the
section subsection B
where we talkin about Street Lighting systems. Can you
explain that a little bit more? Cuz my understanding was
that at one point it was a Esco that was that we were
engaged with the escrow around the changing of two LED
lights that will help reduce the cost. So can you connect
to spend a little bit more?
I see.
I see that we have our Commissioner of a is with us about
the street lighting program. I don't know if you have any
particular information related to the chair of the
Alderman's question related to the types of street lights
that we're paying for.
Do you?
Do you mind answering your question one more time Alderman
Diego as relates to the street. Like I'm just going to get
clarification cuz I thought at some point when there was an
upgrade in the LED lights. We had agreed with a Nesco
company that was going to provide the lights and then we
would share in these cost savings. I'm just curious as to
what this item is for.
you hear
You hear me? I think this item is just for the electricity
cost that Esco project was done several years ago and saved
the city 53% on the transition from regular street lights
to the LED lights. So really this is the cost of the
electricity that is in every fun that we have in the city.
You know.
Any other questions related to the mft resolution the three
million dollars to see t.a. To be explained what that is
that one more time CTA $3000000. It's that amount that we
annually pay to see t.a. From the mfcfund on through that's
based on State Statute. So it's $3 angels to thank you.
You got any other questions on the mft resolution to buy

Because we're we're embarking on the that that vast that

language here be reflective of the programs that were
offering to replace LED service lines for chicken to leave
for the private side of the of the line.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think they're really that the contacts were looking
at here is you have a contractor that's doing work in the
street and they accidentally pull a service line. So this
will be a little different than like they Equity or daycare
Racing League. This is more like, you know something that
was unanticipated. Somebody is not being careful right in
the street and what we would do it, you know, we still do
the work. But we would back charge just like we would for
any other damage in the system right now if somebody damage
is a line or
Ford
For the floor with a thing is that he damaged it? We
backfilled them for the the repair. So this is the same
thing, but just expanding its be clear that that includes
because of the state law include Blood Service on release.

going to be a contractor's what I'm saying.
That what you just explain would be under Section 3.
any
Innovative Dental, that's a responsible for the damage
launch immediately notify the Department of Water
Management. So I'm going to go to that but in this one,
okay. Sorry private watering. So right now we had to edit
case this summer and all them until after I was bored there
to be home owners that own their water main so unusual, but
it has happened over the history of the water system. A lot
of times. They don't even know it and when we go there as
soon as a break early, can we go to do the work and we
actually can't cuz it's on private property technically a
lot of time to think like townhouse development. So this
allows us to do the work and be able to back Bill the
homeowner on some kind of amortized schedule that's
reasonable. And so, you know this summer we had someone
that it was 100° out they had water main break they
couldn't afford to fix it and we couldn't touch it and it
was killing us. So this is you know,
answer for that
Answer for that to be able to actually help people in those
scenarios will take that opportunity to discuss the last
service line replacement that time. Yeah, and you know for
that specific the whole light service line would be on
private property. So they have more flexibility. They can
say yes to the whole thing. They can say no to the whole
thing as opposed to normal worry be half and half you will
have more conversation around it. So and thank you.
Are you?
Are you all okay. I have all them and downfall of all the

Mr. Chair article 4 section 3 I know that what type of
buses that we're targeting their inner city buses Intercity

that?

attic.
I think that's something we would certainly would have to
work with their friends at the young age and Department of
Finance on on if they if they are excited and they don't
pay what that looks like from the Department of Finance.
I'm sorry, I'm looking right at you good.
Sorry, I was on a different call when I came in to do
restate the question. I know that these the buses that are
being targeted are Intercity bus buses in my question is if
these out-of-state buses don't pay their fine. First of
all, how will the fines and penalties be collected and they
don't pay hey what's are remedy so it's it's similar to R&R
anything outside of the city are similar process for going
after Scofflaw Pines. We would use our are we go at
brightest for both Collections and law to collect on those
if they were not paying us?
and
And I am happy to give that history on that as well. You
don't have a sense of how much money were talking about at
this point time. Do you not at this time? But I get that
boy. Thank you. Mr. Thank you all turned out of Total
Control.
So the process that she speaks of those is a primarily a
legal process to do collections as any other process inside
or outside of the city or what difference is it between the
actor that's in the City versus outside of the city there
really? Isn't it depends though on our reach is a little
bit weaker the further you get out of the city, but we do
we use the same legal collections groups as well as law
firms to to do collections in or outside City.
Okay.

is the
Just let service line replacement. And if someone damaged
is it they have to replace it.
if I
If I'm a contractor and I'm on a block and I know that
there's 409,000 let service lines in the city of Chicago
chances are that there's going to be led service. I'm going
to bake that into my bed, but every house
so we can expect that. I'm sorry. Can we expect that bids
are going to go up given the fact that now we're pushing
the responsibility of let service lines out to the
contractor.
end
pause
I possibly so it's we've been instituted the starting
January 1st of this year and what we've seen so far this
year. It's only a handful of this of time that this has
happened. So I think what we're seeing if people are just
be more careful so far. We had expected based on historical
data to see a hit on an actual that service line about 53
times a year, which is not a lot for 8000 let service once
a year, right so, you know
perhaps there's
Perhaps there's a small, you know, increase two bids as a
result of that. But I think that the real answer is that
contractors are giving a reason to pause and not rip
through the street without a little extra precaution, but I
think you know we can continue to discuss like me know if
we out if you have ideas for me no mitigating that I think
that
To push off the responsibility in the cost that ultimately
comes back to us onto the contract. I think it's the wrong
approach. I think that we should be working dwm the
Contracting the contractor should be working
collaboratively to figure this out cuz I guess if I'm a
contractor I'm putting that in a bit and I suspect that we
just started on this program. I think you've testified in
the past that we were doing four thousand a year. I'm going
to try to ramp up to 9000 but
I just have some concerns around this because of the fact
that again if I'm a contractor knowing that there's a high
probability that there's going to be led service and we're
doing work and unforeseen conditions. I just think that
we're going to ultimately have less to spend on the
replacement because of the fact that those contractors are
going to break that into the into the B. So I'd like to
figure out if we can work together movie Ford specialist
were embarking on this multi-decade Capital program that's
going to be billions of dollars that we're doing in a
responsible manner.
absolute
Absolutely, and I think it's worth noting that the process
we had in place before January 1st with the same, right if
somebody hit a LED service line and they had to prepare it
right now to let service on a parrot. They were still
responsible for it. I mean cuz the other options would be
dwm being responsible for contractor. That wasn't being
careful or a home or being responsible. So, you know, I
think this is her the national a logical conclusion of now
the definition of damage includes help repairing damaged
include The Leftovers on replacement, but happy that you
can take a discussion.
I got maybe a
Origami Villegas Alderman Nugent German. I just wanted to
talk through probably with the budget director article 4
section 1 about removing the ability for Alderman to use
the expense accounts to to pay salary. I know we
contemporaneously are having an increase in the Personnel
line, but can you talk through that a little bit as some of
us do pay staff currently off of our expense line or I'll
start and then I do have my medicine. Be here who works
very closely with the clerk's office that manages all of
your staff on your expense account and send the rationale
for it for this. So as I've had a conversation with the
number of you we currently manage staff whether it's
full-time staff or part-time staff on two separate accounts
your personnel.
Expense line and your non personal expense line that's
actually really difficult to manage especially those on
your expense account because it's really about controlling
and making sure that we are always cognizant of the number
of hours that are sitting on your expense account. It also
doesn't allow us to fully account for the fringe benefits
of staff that are on the expense line and we actually can't
tell just by looking at the amount that you're paying it
for where accounting for the full Freight of those French
those French dollars and then finally
What we did was we looked at every single Alderman's
current staff is on the fence line and realize that rate to
understand how much you're currently paying your your your
sap is on the expense line based on that in the need to 21
and put every single employee within one cost center, which
is your salary waistline on your ward staff are we have
moved or put the proposal in place to move all staff from
the expense account into your salary waistline increasing
the amount of your salary and wage increasing the cap the
number of FTE because of that we have heard from a few of
you who have concerns about the amount. And so what we have
talked about what is the ability to shift.
it's from your
It's from your not personal account, which stays at 1:22. So
we haven't reduced that number but you you maintain the 122
we would be able to shift some of those dollars. However
much you need it into your salary waistline to account for
that change, but the idea is to be able to manage both from
my office and the clerk's office manage our staff and one
call center going forward. Thank you. And I appreciate that
suggested that we're all perfectly clear. We can move money
from the nonperson of the expense mine into the salary in
Waist line with this revenue and management ordinance as
written. Yes. Are you currently have the ability as the
body that appropriate the dollar store also do transfers
within accounts? Okay. I appreciate that and I'd like to
thank thank you and your team for working with me and
several colleagues. This is this.
this
This is a good thing for us to be able to get morphics to
be able to help us in our Ward office is so I appreciate
the help with that. Thank you. Mr. Chair.
thank
Thank you any other questions?
Auto Service near me
they
thank
Thank you a question about part-timers. You said we can
allocate our money to these part-timers are they I guess I
guess if your part-time you do not receive any other
benefits, correct? No health insurance. Is that correct? I
think it depends on the amount of hours that you have them
working. I think it's 30 more or 30 or more. They are
entitled to come is a 30.
No, hi, Kevin Murphy matching W charger. Typically right
now Personnel that work over 80 hours per month on average
are eligible for benefits. There are some benefits for paid
sick leave that are at-will based on an hourly basis the
general benefits available for the part-timers that come
from the expense account or is that something like a
regular employee So currently, I don't think we have any
heart timers that are eligible for benefits, but I think
that based on the compensation that eat solder is able to
determine for their own staff. Some have encumbered friends
on their expense accounts to cover that. We want to move
the Personnel into the into the cellar waistline to better
manage that and actually account for the friends with me
after you pay for it within the finance General.
Not you.
find not your
Find not your salary wage line, right? So it would still
continue to come out that moving everyone out of your
expenses line. We would now be accounting for personnel
friend everything within your board office. And then the
benefits is actually paid out of Finance General. So
nothing would be on your salary on your expense account
anymore.
Okay, I think I understand. But I may fall over happy to
have a separate conversation with you about your office.
Thank you. I would crack a joke, but you're an accountant.
So I'm going to leave you alone today. So Alderman Quinn
followed by all them in the vice. Chili. Thank you. Mr.
Chair. How does this impact independent contractors?
There's no Kevin Murphy. Mehdi dehbi budget. There's no
impact to your ability that use contractors. Okay, and same
rule applies every every
every personnel
this is
decision would be
MovieTube
move to the employment line
back to all the women Nugent's, should this be codified?
she
She would be caught up on all of these all of these moving
parts that we've agreed upon.
I think what's been codified is the currently you have the
ability to pay for employees on your expense account. We're
now moving all employees. So everything everything it's not
a contract employee. So the actual Personnel to your salary
while I slide. So the removal is the ability to pay for
staph on your expense account. So that is been codified.
Thank you, sir. Wycherly, thank you. Mr. Murphy in the
folks that we spoke with this morning. I think this is a
great compromise enable us to Eva flexibility and continue
to use the funds and I do appreciate the additional had to
as well. I just wanted to bring up just in case anybody is
wondering part of the reason that this has to be times. He
was with the with the Fringe for the part-timers. They're
going to be subject to pay time off so that go into a fact
we're going to do the city's going to have to account for
that somehow and that's that going into the Personnel
system. I think it's the right thing to do there and I
asked a question earlier in our briefing whether or not we
would have two out of our expense line then budget for you
know the days that people learn
Should they leave?
Should they leave because that's part of the the the current
ordinance that's on the table just to clarify or to confirm
that does not need to come out of the expense Finance
departments French.
Yeah, they
Yeah, that'll be part of your personal line expenses.
Great. Thank you. That's all I thank you. No problem for
all the good.
combat
Come back all the Vasquez.
Thank you, Karen along the same lines of a question just
this one through the chair. If you could send kind of
guidelines as a dependent contractor, like what the rules
are what can be done if I can't cuz I think a number of us
really don't know so I can clear you would be helpful
there. The other question I have is really just more kind
of logistics process. If a member one guy to move funds the
other way. If for example, they wanted to move from
Personnel to expense because of however, they manage their
funds do they have the ability to do that or is it just a
one-way potential?
I think I don't see why we wouldn't be able to do that. I
don't think anyone really would but I just curious for
process better Alderman Vasquez will do not just a through.
The chair will actually do a training on contractors. How
about that that that is definitely better and welcome.
Thank you so much for that.

Nope.
November 7th, we're going to go to item number one, which
is the actual packet the last packet that was given to
everyone which is the technical a budget amendment director
Guzman.
Could you walk us through the changes that were made from
the initial that you brought out to this? Cuz this is a
bunch of numbers to try to ferret and go through a number
of technical limit. So I'll go through these.
SI
As I can I will start with the revenue amendments. So the
revenue technical limits there are six of them dealing with
increases to revenue funds. I will start with the vehicle
tax bond fund 31 300. This fund was increased by 1.71
million cents in $85,000. We've added.
reimbursement for
Reimbursements from RG IO Bond proceeds into fund 300 to be
used towards the labor costs associated with C. Labor on
building and maintaining Bridges. This is actually a
companion Revenue ordinance amendment to a much larger
technical Amendment dealing with the Department of
Sanitation and Streets & Sanitation without get to later
but this allowed us to pay for overtime and move over time
for a c. Off of the corporate fun into that vehicle find on
the second one is funded 3:10, which is the motor fuel tax
fund. This is an increase of 2734000 dollars. This increase
is made possible through reconciliation work that was done
to understand how much funding would be left over at the
end of this year are estimates have increased
that
I got a
That amount so additional funding will be carried over into
24. This is also related to a much bigger a technical
Amendment related to the Department of Streets &
Sanitation, which will go into much detail a little bit
later.
I'm
next is
Next is revenue Amendment to the special events and hotel
operators tax fund based on end of year reconciliation as
well. We were able to increase the 2023 end-of-year amount
by $888,000 as well as add $464,000 for our estimate for a
flight 24. Thereby. We increase the prior-year amount to be
carried over into f y 24 by that $888,000 and increased the
anticipated revenue for that Fund in 2024 to 400 by
$464,000 Fun 610 and fun 7:40 are the Midway Airport fund
and the Chicago O'Hare Airport find respectively their
expenditures have increased and as we all know their
expenditures equal their revenue based on
what they
What they charge their Airline operators and so there were
