+00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:11.230
+moments business agenda item and I appreciate the board...during the during the
+
+00:20:11.230 --> 00:20:16.170
+straw vote last week for those who aren't sure what we mean by carrying forward of
+
+00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:21.540
+lap salaries and what this specifically designed to do the carrying forward of the
+
+00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:26.750
+lap salaries is going-to be taking...salaries from this school year those
+
+00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:30.330
+would be salaries...that are funded but unfilled of course
+
+00:20:30.330 --> 00:20:35.020
+...school years over at the end of this month so because of that we
+
+00:20:35.020 --> 00:20:40.910
+have dollars that will be left over that we can use for something so
+
+00:20:40.910 --> 00:20:46.890
+...last week I made a motion that we take those lap salaries the ones that are for
+
+00:20:46.890 --> 00:20:51.720
+fills...on excuse me funded unfilled positions and we carry forward that
+
+00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.870
+is to say take those salaries and just move them from
+
+00:20:55.870 --> 00:21:00.860
+...school years budget into next year's budget to carry them over from one year to the next and by doing
+
+00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:07.340
+so with the six point eight roughly million dollars that will allow us to
+
+00:21:07.340 --> 00:21:11.700
+meet the superintendent doctor wilcox is request for that same
+
+00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:17.810
+amount for teacher salary supplement increases so the effect
+
+00:21:17.810 --> 00:21:22.730
+of this is the ability for us to fund teacher salary increases
+
+00:21:22.730 --> 00:21:28.160
+without a tax increase so I appreciate the board support this motion
+
+00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.310
+...straw vote and,
+
+00:21:30.310 --> 00:21:33.950
+I'm glad we're able to find a creative solution to fund something that is clearly very
+
+00:21:33.950 --> 00:21:37.650
+important to the community to our educators
+
+00:21:37.650 --> 00:21:42.270
+to recruiting retaining our teachers and, also
+
+00:21:42.270 --> 00:21:49.530
+...important to me soone think...for their support inside and?
+
+00:21:49.530 --> 00:21:51.640
+Ask the question.
+
+00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.400
+When he made the motion as it relates to the
+
+00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:59.790
+...salaries so that the general public would know what we're talking about
+
+00:21:59.790 --> 00:22:04.450
+...salaries that we would take that money that people?
+
+00:22:04.450 --> 00:22:06.830
+We have not feel those positions so we're
+
+00:22:06.830 --> 00:22:09.780
+...take those phones and provide that six
+
+00:22:09.780 --> 00:22:17.620
+point nine million for the supplement for our teachers.
+
+00:22:17.620 --> 00:22:23.820
+I just want-to make sure that the general public...what we're...so
+
+00:22:23.820 --> 00:22:28.560
+...six point nine million that the other question I...a part of
+
+00:22:28.560 --> 00:22:31.790
+this is which part madam manager.
+
+00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.000
+Do we include?
+
+00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.930
+The cafeteria workers custodians.
+
+00:22:38.230 --> 00:22:42.850
+And, those individuals who salary happens to be...of any bags
+
+00:22:42.850 --> 00:22:47.640
+...so if you remember when we did our straw vote for me there was a portion
+
+00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:52.130
+...messes request that was to be the local match for the locally funded
+
+00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:57.210
+teachers that would match the...that the state would provide for the statement...teachers and
+
+00:22:57.210 --> 00:22:59.750
+...see microsoft reported to us that they actually had
+
+00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:04.630
+requested a little bit more than they needed to be able to do that local match so the
+
+00:23:04.630 --> 00:23:08.330
+left over dollars that will not use the local match for those teachers we can
+
+00:23:08.330 --> 00:23:12.650
+use to provide salary increases for the non certified
+
+00:23:12.650 --> 00:23:17.000
+...microsoft thank you so I'm hoping the general public heard what was
+
+00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.890
+said as relates to all staffing for the school system where
+
+00:23:20.890 --> 00:23:23.810
+...will come from to take care of the
+
+00:23:23.810 --> 00:23:28.750
+least of us cafeteria workers bus drivers and others for
+
+00:23:28.750 --> 00:23:38.710
+non certify so thank you madame chair I have commissioner...invincible.
+
+00:23:38.710 --> 00:23:41.380
+My colleague.
+
+00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:45.250
+Commission...excellent job of explaining what
+
+00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:48.810
+...salaries are.
+
+00:23:48.810 --> 00:23:54.020
+And, he's absolutely his...were absolutely correct
+
+00:23:54.020 --> 00:24:00.470
+that it does allow us to fund the increase in this...
+
+00:24:00.470 --> 00:24:05.550
+microsoft teacher...and certified supplement without any
+
+00:24:05.550 --> 00:24:13.180
+increase in our property tax rate the only problem is that you can.
+
+00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:15.180
+When you?
+
+00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:18.290
+When you describe something if you describe it in completely?
+
+00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:25.530
+It is misleading ...salaries
+
+00:24:25.530 --> 00:24:31.360
+...normal process than any government any business but,
+
+00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:35.450
+in governmental accounting lap salaries always become part of your
+
+00:24:35.450 --> 00:24:41.920
+fun balance at the end of the fiscal year whatever they may be and,
+
+00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.110
+I wish I'd counted the number of times during
+
+00:24:44.110 --> 00:24:48.090
+our struggling session people used...supporting this
+
+00:24:48.090 --> 00:24:53.680
+used the word technical it's a technical violation of our
+
+00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:58.790
+unbalance policy which as a lawyer we're I'm often accused of
+
+00:25:00.130 --> 00:25:04.360
+looking for loopholes...the use of work technical but I'm not going
+
+00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:09.890
+to support this motion I actually did make...to
+
+00:25:09.890 --> 00:25:14.890
+fund the supplement for the increase up among teachers and,
+
+00:25:14.890 --> 00:25:20.170
+it passed extra voting session I made the motion and
+
+00:25:20.170 --> 00:25:27.710
+identified the source of funding being an actual increase in our tax rate the
+
+00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:30.950
+...ryan how are then subsequently made a motion to
+
+00:25:30.950 --> 00:25:35.850
+resend my motion and do the same thing but find it with lap
+
+00:25:35.850 --> 00:25:42.425
+salaries which is a violation not technically but I
+
+00:25:42.425 --> 00:25:50.540
+think substantively of our ...policy you just avoid having, you know,
+
+00:25:50.540 --> 00:25:54.290
+calling you can feel good about it not...policy by sort of
+
+00:25:54.290 --> 00:25:58.810
+saying I'm grabbing this money before the end of the physical year and I'm passing its resolution to
+
+00:25:58.810 --> 00:26:05.130
+carry it forward into next year so we're getting is some very?
+
+00:26:05.130 --> 00:26:08.330
+Complex accounting but,
+
+00:26:08.330 --> 00:26:14.140
+in fact if we're going to have this if we're going to be able to find
+
+00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:17.550
+the same positions next year.
+
+00:26:17.550 --> 00:26:22.490
+When the budget comes around and we're going to be able to pay the teachers
+
+00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:25.510
+...supplement next year...have to be
+
+00:26:25.510 --> 00:26:30.280
+...either a tax increase for that we'll have to be a major cut in services
+
+00:26:30.280 --> 00:26:35.640
+elsewhere unless we have some sort of miraculous increase in our
+
+00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:40.460
+tax base and miraculous increase in our revenue so,
+
+00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:43.710
+in effect what you're really doing by using
+
+00:26:43.710 --> 00:26:46.390
+...salaries to fund this
+
+00:26:47.430 --> 00:26:52.710
+increase in the settlement is that you are kind of
+
+00:26:52.710 --> 00:26:59.360
+...wiring a tax increase for next year if you want to be able to continue it
+
+00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:04.240
+or...pre wiring cuts and other services?
+
+00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:08.300
+I won't be here so I'll be watching with all the rest of you to see how
+
+00:27:08.300 --> 00:27:15.350
+it gets handle but that's why I will vote against this motion.
+
+00:27:15.350 --> 00:27:21.620
+But, I want everyone to understand that I did move to include in this draw voting this
+
+00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:26.310
+...microsoft teacher supplement and, it did pass and,
+
+00:27:26.310 --> 00:27:30.520
+then commissioner ron howard came forward with this use of
+
+00:27:30.520 --> 00:27:34.510
+...salaries which I view as using fun
+
+00:27:34.510 --> 00:27:36.910
+...and violating our
+
+00:27:36.910 --> 00:27:41.650
+...balance policy...board adopted a number of years ago
+
+00:27:41.650 --> 00:27:49.050
+thank you thank you thank you ...
+
+00:27:49.050 --> 00:27:53.350
+...cute manager where there's always the other side and the other side
+
+00:27:53.350 --> 00:27:56.340
+is the time I congratulate you
+
+00:27:56.340 --> 00:28:00.410
+sure I'm half-hour for thishe worked
+
+00:28:00.410 --> 00:28:05.210
+really hard too because he did not want a tax increase and I did not...tax
+
+00:28:05.210 --> 00:28:11.020
+...and I was really proud of him for finding this and,
+
+00:28:11.020 --> 00:28:13.730
+it is a technical thing to do and,
+
+00:28:13.730 --> 00:28:17.910
+...certainly something that we agree
+
+00:28:17.910 --> 00:28:22.590
+too and we have.
+
+00:28:22.590 --> 00:28:26.800
+You know, we don't want a commissioner I'm how are, you know,
+
+00:28:26.800 --> 00:28:32.900
+wanted the teachers to enjoy this extra money not on top of it give
+
+00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:34.890
+You know, a tax rate...some of
+
+00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:39.510
+it back so I think it was great when I congratulate you for was proud of you
+
+00:28:39.510 --> 00:28:45.730
+for doing it and I think it was something that shows that,
+
+00:28:45.730 --> 00:28:51.880
+you know, one person can make a difference and you did and, I think we're all going to benefit from this
+
+00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.550
+...checks purchase though I I'm happy about it and
+
+00:28:56.550 --> 00:29:00.730
+it was explained by the manager how it would work that the money
+
+00:29:00.730 --> 00:29:05.000
+hasn't gone to the...balance yet so it's kind of like before it goes
+
+00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.480
+...sidestepping and do it take...the...so but,
+
+00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.930
+certainly it is...I think a very good thing and can...
+
+00:29:12.930 --> 00:29:17.820
+clark obviously disagrees but I'm happy about it and I'm proud of commissioner
+
+00:29:17.820 --> 00:29:20.680
+I'm here for doing it and I think that it shows
+
+00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:27.130
+search he cares and he's just and he wanted to do something for the people not only in his district
+
+00:29:27.130 --> 00:29:31.180
+but for everyone so I think that's something...
+
+00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:36.880
+...thank you they're just a couple things I wanted to point out
+
+00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:42.230
+first we are funding a
+
+00:29:42.230 --> 00:29:43.930
+teacher's supplement increase.
+
+00:29:44.970 --> 00:29:47.890
+It was requested by the
+
+00:29:47.890 --> 00:29:52.910
+superintendents requested by the board of education to fund
+
+00:29:52.910 --> 00:29:57.710
+six point eight million six point nine million dollars to fund
+
+00:29:57.710 --> 00:30:02.640
+this supplement increase we have not increased our supplement in a
+
+00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:08.070
+number of years so I'm very glad that we are doing this.
+
+00:30:08.070 --> 00:30:11.150
+But, I would point out that
+
+00:30:11.150 --> 00:30:16.150
+it's still does not get our supplement on par.
+
+00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:21.020
+With even other counties in north carolina I'm speaking specifically of
+
+00:30:21.020 --> 00:30:24.850
+weight county and.
+
+00:30:24.850 --> 00:30:28.020
+Orange county our...hill is the...
+
+00:30:29.700 --> 00:30:37.160
+Nobody...was it was it was chapel...is.
+
+00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.000
+But, we are making a step and
+
+00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.370
+we'll have to make other steps because
+
+00:30:44.370 --> 00:30:48.860
+again I believe that there's no reason why a teacher teaching and
+
+00:30:48.860 --> 00:30:52.120
+mecca bird or make less.
+
+00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:54.180
+Than a teacher teaching anywhere else
+
+00:30:54.180 --> 00:31:02.410
+in north carolina I just I don't see why that should ever be the case.
+
+00:31:02.410 --> 00:31:09.120
+The second point I'll make is that this supplement again as the manager mentioned
+
+00:31:09.120 --> 00:31:14.450
+...told us that there is some extra.
+
+00:31:14.450 --> 00:31:17.360
+Funding that would have gone
+
+00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:23.320
+to increases in salary that now can be used to
+
+00:31:23.320 --> 00:31:28.230
+increase supplement not just for our teachers another certified staff?
+
+00:31:28.230 --> 00:31:31.530
+For also for non certified staff and by that we
+
+00:31:31.530 --> 00:31:36.990
+mean our bus drivers are custodians and, others who fall into
+
+00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:42.390
+the non certified category so what I will say about all these things is
+
+00:31:42.390 --> 00:31:48.870
+that we are going to appropriate this money to the school system but it is still
+
+00:31:48.870 --> 00:31:50.320
+...methods decision.
+
+00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:53.220
+About whether or not to actually.
+
+00:31:54.450 --> 00:31:57.290
+...the supplement increase.
+
+00:31:57.290 --> 00:32:00.710
+So, I want to make it perfectly clear.
+
+00:32:00.710 --> 00:32:03.140
+That we are funding this.
+
+00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.640
+Expecting.
+
+00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:09.490
+That see microsoft will follow through and actually
+
+00:32:09.490 --> 00:32:14.560
+pay these supplement increases they are not required to do
+
+00:32:14.560 --> 00:32:18.980
+so merely because we appropriated all right so we all
+
+00:32:18.980 --> 00:32:23.170
+have to continue to be vigilant to make sure.
+
+00:32:23.170 --> 00:32:27.230
+That what we have appropriated will actually get to
+
+00:32:27.230 --> 00:32:28.710
+people.
+
+00:32:28.710 --> 00:32:35.240
+Into their paychecks...supplements so, it's important to do that
+
+00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:40.770
+...the games that are...and the next thing is.
+
+00:32:41.870 --> 00:32:48.130
+This is wonderful that we found this these...salaries and,
+
+00:32:48.130 --> 00:32:51.960
+basically what it means is we've we had about eighteen million dollars worth
+
+00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:57.350
+of salaries in our budget that for positions that we didn't...
+
+00:32:57.350 --> 00:33:02.070
+Probably a little less than that but somewhere in that the neighborhood and,
+
+00:33:02.070 --> 00:33:08.600
+we don't think we're going to spend that money by june thirtieth so what's going to have to go...
+
+00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:13.260
+So, what we're doing here through commissioner right now ours?
+
+00:33:13.260 --> 00:33:16.560
+Bringing this forward to our attention.
+
+00:33:16.560 --> 00:33:18.760
+Is we're going to take some?
+
+00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:21.630
+Of that money that allocated for those
+
+00:33:21.630 --> 00:33:25.680
+...salaries and move it into the budget year that
+
+00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.000
+we're about to enter into so that we can fun this teacher supplement now
+
+00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.490
+...address what commissioner clark mention because I think it's a
+
+00:33:34.490 --> 00:33:39.300
+point worth paying attention to so in his view.
+
+00:33:39.300 --> 00:33:42.830
+This is some sort of.
+
+00:33:42.830 --> 00:33:46.780
+Slight-of-hand that it is not a technical
+
+00:33:46.780 --> 00:33:52.540
+violation of the fun balance policy but I
+
+00:33:52.540 --> 00:34:00.100
+guess in his estimation would be a violation of the spirit of the fun balance...
+
+00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:02.500
+And, I would.
+
+00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:06.990
+Challenge up that notion.
+
+00:34:06.990 --> 00:34:10.620
+Is a lawyer I too am a lawyer which means that
+
+00:34:10.620 --> 00:34:14.440
+...will probably disagree on everything but,
+
+00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:16.940
+I don't it?
+
+00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:19.170
+It clearly is not a violation of the fun
+
+00:34:19.170 --> 00:34:24.080
+...policy I think we can start there you may say it is
+
+00:34:25.510 --> 00:34:27.580
+...way around the policy.
+
+00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:33.510
+But, it's not a violation of the public and but you're quite right to
+
+00:34:33.510 --> 00:34:38.230
+point out that there will be a structural deficit in our budget next year.
+
+00:34:38.230 --> 00:34:42.450
+Which means that this six point eight million dollars while we found the
+
+00:34:42.450 --> 00:34:47.100
+money for it this year next year?
+
+00:34:47.100 --> 00:34:51.950
+We're going to have the start with paying that you can't go backwards
+
+00:34:51.950 --> 00:34:56.810
+so once you've said you're going to pay for the supplements the six point eight million dollars you gotta pay
+
+00:34:56.810 --> 00:35:01.750
+for that going forward so...already pre spent.
+
+00:35:01.750 --> 00:35:06.750
+Money in a future budget year and that's a legitimate concern and
+
+00:35:06.750 --> 00:35:10.870
+we have to be concerned about that but I think in this case.
+
+00:35:10.870 --> 00:35:16.470
+That it's worth doing it because this is not something that's going to go away we're
+
+00:35:16.470 --> 00:35:20.920
+not intending just to do this for one year we are intending for it to
+
+00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:25.760
+go forward into future years so at least in this case I don't think it's a violation of the
+
+00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:27.340
+spirit.
+
+00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:30.610
+And, the final point I'll make is that.
+
+00:35:30.610 --> 00:35:35.760
+I expect that you know, this motion will...
+
+00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:39.550
+Which means that this funding will be in our budget?
+
+00:35:39.550 --> 00:35:44.540
+So, the necessary consequence of that is that those who are voting for
+
+00:35:44.540 --> 00:35:49.230
+this will then half the vote in favor of the budget and
+
+00:35:49.230 --> 00:35:54.480
+you see because nothing happens until you pass the budget you can
+
+00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.060
+carry funds forward if you want but those ones don't
+
+00:35:59.060 --> 00:36:04.050
+get spent for this purpose unless you agree to the budget
+
+00:36:04.050 --> 00:36:09.000
+so I'm actually happy because we may well have
+
+00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:13.610
+a unanimous vote in favor of our budget this year
+
+00:36:13.610 --> 00:36:20.240
+will be tremendous that and I'm looking forward to that.
+
+00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:24.300
+So, thank...help the commissioner james yes,
+
+00:36:24.300 --> 00:36:27.700
+thank you I...ask the manager.
+
+00:36:28.970 --> 00:36:32.250
+Is six eight four that's the amount that cnn
+
+00:36:32.250 --> 00:36:34.290
+...asked for the
+
+00:36:34.290 --> 00:36:37.490
+subtle months that equal?
+
+00:36:37.490 --> 00:36:41.930
+Eight point one percent that they were asking for out at
+
+00:36:41.930 --> 00:36:48.960
+...is that the percentage that...thing is seven percent seven percent of the.
+
+00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.020
+I saw the discussion rollie and I
+
+00:36:52.020 --> 00:36:56.580
+solve the discussion here and I wasn't sure what the actual task was
+
+00:36:56.580 --> 00:36:59.180
+...a manager aboard.
+
+00:36:59.180 --> 00:37:02.560
+The six point eight million dollars equate to one
+
+00:37:02.560 --> 00:37:07.400
+percentage point increase in a local supplement so, for example,
+
+00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.310
+teachers that work up to five years we see the local supplement increase from
+
+00:37:12.310 --> 00:37:19.140
+fifteen percent a little over sixteen percent so equation one percentage point.
+
+00:37:19.140 --> 00:37:21.590
+Right so.
+
+00:37:21.590 --> 00:37:26.380
+The other piece that we passed that was part of the regular budget
+
+00:37:26.380 --> 00:37:29.240
+...that was...managers such.
+
+00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:34.420
+That included three-point-one percent race whatever the state the average that
+
+00:37:34.420 --> 00:37:39.010
+the state passed it matches whatever the average was the state passed okay
+
+00:37:39.010 --> 00:37:43.380
+rise an average initially paid for three percent increase
+
+00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:46.420
+as the manager stayed at the state isn't is funding
+
+00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:50.190
+...two percent increase leave that one percent available to
+
+00:37:50.190 --> 00:37:56.620
+find the non certified positions so how much of this six eight four
+
+00:37:56.620 --> 00:38:01.430
+ninety-one it's for the?
+
+00:38:01.430 --> 00:38:04.970
+Features according to see a mess today.
+
+00:38:04.970 --> 00:38:09.820
+...a portion of it is going to be for custodian and she
+
+00:38:09.820 --> 00:38:15.190
+was not able to articulate that are struck but, the exact number would be because we did not ask
+
+00:38:15.190 --> 00:38:19.780
+...to prepare that in advance and says she was only able to tell us that there would be some access that
+
+00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:25.060
+she could use for the non certified...did not give us an exact number
+
+00:38:25.060 --> 00:38:29.660
+...point of clarity is none of...from the six point nine that's coming from the urban
+
+00:38:29.660 --> 00:38:33.690
+...our local share that we're paying that...manager including her
+
+00:38:33.690 --> 00:38:38.100
+...six point eight is solely for the supplement so
+
+00:38:38.100 --> 00:38:43.810
+the six point eight is directly to teachers what the...staff will
+
+00:38:43.810 --> 00:38:50.670
+...access what was going to go to teachers but now is also going to go to the custodians
+
+00:38:50.670 --> 00:38:54.140
+that's correct eleven million dollars to local share.
+
+00:38:54.140 --> 00:38:59.110
+Some balance...that will go towards funding the non certified teachers ok so
+
+00:38:59.110 --> 00:39:03.700
+there's a...stand on my stance...not teachers that step so
+
+00:39:03.700 --> 00:39:08.010
+...at some point maybe we could just let us know
+
+00:39:08.010 --> 00:39:11.090
+...how much of the eleven is going to go for teachers
+
+00:39:11.090 --> 00:39:16.860
+...and how much is going for the other thank you
+
+00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:20.640
+can conversions one last question does this
+
+00:39:20.640 --> 00:39:28.590
+mean now that we will not be tax in our community?
+
+00:39:28.590 --> 00:39:32.680

+second emotion second I have...to the motion
+
+00:47:53.510 --> 00:47:58.850
+of one of the things that I found interesting knows the city budget the

+00:47:58.850 --> 00:48:02.240
+number of people that also they...everything and but,
+
+00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:10.540
+then there was some voted against it so they kind of try and play it both ways.
+
+00:48:10.540 --> 00:48:16.040
+...unanimous vote...can get...also rotate there's a few things I'm not
+
+00:48:16.040 --> 00:48:22.030
+thrilled with in this budget and hell's the point where I have to talk about it and it's really to set
+
+00:48:22.030 --> 00:48:25.750
+up...conversation for next budget cycle or maybe
+
+00:48:25.750 --> 00:48:30.800
+one after that so, I just want say just a couple things when I wasn't...apologize
+
+00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:40.890
+was not able to be here during the straw votes from I was out-of-town on family business.
+
+00:48:40.890 --> 00:48:44.630
+I do not like the way that we this board
+
+00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:46.770
+...microsoft.
+
+00:48:46.770 --> 00:48:51.340
+To dictate to us to make us make the hard decisions for them
+
+00:48:54.110 --> 00:48:58.980
+That's a problem that this board falls into repeatedly is we're the
+
+00:48:58.980 --> 00:49:01.200
+ones that either provide this up...for
+
+00:49:01.200 --> 00:49:06.200
+supplement the truth of the matter is the fact of the matter is.
+
+00:49:06.200 --> 00:49:09.470
+That all this board does feacalc
+
+00:49:09.470 --> 00:49:16.280
+...just visit town talking about teachers up on that we did not vote in...
+
+00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:18.850
+...fillers exactly right.
+
+00:49:18.850 --> 00:49:24.490
+All we will do is we'll vote a large sum of money.
+
+00:49:24.490 --> 00:49:25.700
+To see microsoft.
+
+00:49:26.850 --> 00:49:33.620
+And, the...schools...the board of education will decide how to...that money...
+
+00:49:33.620 --> 00:49:39.850
+They could have done that all along we have increase now education funding in this
+
+00:49:39.850 --> 00:49:43.930
+county to fifty four percent fifty four percent of our revenue goes
+
+00:49:43.930 --> 00:49:47.690
+education and we run everything else in the county with the other
+
+00:49:47.690 --> 00:49:52.320
+forty six percent we are extraordinarily generous
+
+00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.840
+and if our teachers are not paid what they're paid in orange county or
+
+00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.350
+wait county is not because this board.
+
+00:50:01.350 --> 00:50:05.140
+Chose not to pay you...because the superintendent and the board
+
+00:50:05.140 --> 00:50:10.030
+of education chose to find other things within their budget instead of
+
+00:50:10.030 --> 00:50:12.620
+use the county employees.
+
+00:50:13.690 --> 00:50:15.380
+Will be funded
+
+00:50:15.380 --> 00:50:20.700
+bythis board and this county managers actions no one
+
+00:50:20.700 --> 00:50:24.870
+else is so if you're not paid enough?
+
+00:50:24.870 --> 00:50:31.060
+It is not because we didn't pay you enough it's because the state chose not to pay you
+
+00:50:31.060 --> 00:50:35.240
+enough as a base salary and because the amount of money that we send to see
+
+00:50:35.240 --> 00:50:41.050
+a mess it's divvy it up for things other than teacher but I would also love
+
+00:50:41.050 --> 00:50:44.730
+the opportunity in the future to talk about teacher compensation
+
+00:50:46.010 --> 00:50:50.120
+because we need to have a real honest conversation
+
+00:50:50.120 --> 00:50:54.580
+for about compensation because we get a lot of false.
+
+00:50:54.580 --> 00:50:59.180
+Debate about this without a full understanding of.
+
+00:50:59.180 --> 00:51:03.910
+I would also love the opportunity to talk about the classroom because
+
+00:51:03.910 --> 00:51:10.320
+as a father of a public school teacher or a former public school teacher.
+
+00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:14.830
+The actions and what happens in the classroom that
+
+00:51:14.830 --> 00:51:20.760
+is beyond the control very often of the teacher is an even bigger problem than the best?
+
+00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:23.700
+And, we're not really talking about that because I'm a be honest
+
+00:51:23.700 --> 00:51:27.700
+...are classrooms and see microsoft...there is no way you could pay
+
+00:51:27.700 --> 00:51:32.160
+any one enough money to do the job.
+
+00:51:32.160 --> 00:51:35.020
+So, the pay is.
+
+00:51:35.020 --> 00:51:39.910
+Only part of the problem the environment is a huge part of the problem that
+
+00:51:39.910 --> 00:51:44.870
+we're not discussing so I'm not thrilled with the way that's handled I actually
+
+00:51:44.870 --> 00:51:49.630
+think we should flip that around children give the money to see a mess and you
+
+00:51:49.630 --> 00:51:54.690
+guys been your time discussing with them how to allocate them we're going to talk about a
+
+00:51:54.690 --> 00:52:00.610
+pre k program that I am very interested in learning more and more
+
+00:52:00.610 --> 00:52:04.950
+...voted to get involved with it back over a year-ago but I am
+
+00:52:04.950 --> 00:52:09.920
+not happy with a lack of specificity and what's happening there and
+
+00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:14.870
+the lack of data...show me that I'm going to get anything for the money that's being invest.
+
+00:52:14.870 --> 00:52:17.740
+The only data we have.
+
+00:52:17.740 --> 00:52:21.890
+And, it is a little snippet of data that we generated ourselves
+
+00:52:21.890 --> 00:52:25.250
+actually shows the...when it comes to reading.
+
+00:52:26.350 --> 00:52:30.210
+Kids who are not in pre k do better than those who are in pre k
+
+00:52:30.210 --> 00:52:34.680
+and bright begin now I don't believe that to be
+
+00:52:34.680 --> 00:52:40.090
+the true facts overall but the data we have that's what...shows and
+
+00:52:40.090 --> 00:52:45.470
+sms...manager for...microsoft to give us bright beginnings
+
+00:52:45.470 --> 00:52:50.380
+...twenty five years of data how has that worked isn't worth
+
+00:52:50.380 --> 00:52:55.200
+the investment we're getting ready to ask taxpayers to pay more money for
+
+00:52:55.200 --> 00:53:01.830
+program that we really don't have dated that shows that it has a demonstrably all.
+
+00:53:01.830 --> 00:53:02.980
+Affect that we want
+
+00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:07.750
+...education I also am...fully.
+
+00:53:07.750 --> 00:53:11.930
+Hopefully extraordinarily bothered but part of our pre k is going
+
+00:53:11.930 --> 00:53:16.840
+to mandate salaries and private institutions we're going to say what
+
+00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:18.270
+people.
+
+00:53:18.270 --> 00:53:24.210
+Institutions using these phones have to pay their employees and the benefits they have to give them
+
+00:53:24.210 --> 00:53:28.370
+...while that sounds like a really good idea as a guy who has employees I can tell
+
+00:53:28.370 --> 00:53:33.270
+you when some employees are paid at one level and some employees are painted a different level as the
+
+00:53:33.270 --> 00:53:38.300
+teachers will probably tell you that sets up a problem.
+
+00:53:38.300 --> 00:53:42.990
+And, what will ultimately happen is when the government starts to mandate pay levels
+
+00:53:42.990 --> 00:53:48.430
+and the private-sector you start to drive up the cost?
+
+00:53:48.430 --> 00:53:52.410
+Of personnel in the private-sector and you will find one of
+
+00:53:52.410 --> 00:53:57.170
+those great unintended consequences the government has you will start to see pay you
+
+00:53:57.170 --> 00:54:00.020
+go up and all day cares and that's good
+
+00:54:00.020 --> 00:54:04.050
+for daycare workers but for parents who aren't lucky enough to get the
+
+00:54:04.050 --> 00:54:08.980
+lottery and have to provide their own money for daycare...
+
+00:54:08.980 --> 00:54:14.020
+to find daycare prices going up and just like we talk about a lack of affordable housing
+
+00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:17.630
+in the next few years I think you have the real?
+
+00:54:17.630 --> 00:54:21.980
+Potential of a lack of affordable day care and
+
+00:54:21.980 --> 00:54:24.540
+...because we are artificially inflating the cost
+
+00:54:24.540 --> 00:54:30.610
+of it it's great for the kids who gideon but once again the burden
+
+00:54:30.610 --> 00:54:35.910
+more likely fall on the ones who do not so I would love us to delay
+
+00:54:35.910 --> 00:54:41.400
+pre k program and continue to investigate like we ought to make
+
+00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:46.210
+sure that we can do what we would like to do.
+
+00:54:46.210 --> 00:54:52.910
+The biggest problem I have with this budget is a nine-point-two percent tax increase.
+
+00:54:52.910 --> 00:54:58.860
+Mandated own employees named david marr people.
+
+00:55:00.180 --> 00:55:03.900
+To increase taxes for pre k and that's what...essentially
+
+00:55:03.900 --> 00:55:08.740
+...recorder percent tax increase for pre k again I don't know what
+
+00:55:08.740 --> 00:55:12.430
+the...and will be going to be no one can say?
+
+00:55:12.430 --> 00:55:14.540
+We will be forcing taxpayers.
+
+00:55:15.940 --> 00:55:17.960
+To pay the bill.
+
+00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:21.280
+Whether they can afford it or not.
+
+00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:25.040
+Those who are finding themselves difficult keeping your house
+
+00:55:25.040 --> 00:55:28.940
+...paying taxes right now will be forced to pay more they
+
+00:55:28.940 --> 00:55:33.530
+have no choice government mandates and will force them to pay
+
+00:55:33.530 --> 00:55:39.970
+their taxes if they have to dip into their savings to do it so be it?
+
+00:55:39.970 --> 00:55:44.350
+And, we will hear that it's only a hamburger...
+
+00:55:44.350 --> 00:55:48.060
+...for some people hamburgers are pretty big deal.
+
+00:55:48.060 --> 00:55:51.600
+So, I'm going to make a substitute motion.
+
+00:55:51.600 --> 00:55:53.880
+And, I moved to adopt the budget as
+
+00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:59.880
+outlined every program as voted owning the straw votes.
+
+00:55:59.880 --> 00:56:03.450
+But, the...with the current tax rate.
+
+00:56:03.450 --> 00:56:06.380
+And, direct...manager to seek savings within
+
+00:56:06.380 --> 00:56:10.430
+our general operations over the next school year to cover the cost.
+
+00:56:10.430 --> 00:56:14.630
+And, I further direct because I have to well all say how we're going to cover those
+
+00:56:14.630 --> 00:56:20.600
+bones...manager to access the fun balance.
+
+00:56:20.600 --> 00:56:23.730
+And, the invention isn't able to find reductions and read directions
+
+00:56:23.730 --> 00:56:28.890
+or saving sufficient to cover the adopted budget.
+
+00:56:28.890 --> 00:56:33.060
+The motion I'll speak to if I have a...
+
+00:56:33.060 --> 00:56:37.990
+What I'm basically saying is instead of telling the public
+
+00:56:37.990 --> 00:56:44.050
+it's only a hamburger go find a way I'm going to ask our county manager who
+
+00:56:44.050 --> 00:56:47.870
+...one of the best financial managers and the country
+
+00:56:47.870 --> 00:56:53.210
+...also became accounting manager she was really good at being a finance director?
+
+00:56:53.210 --> 00:56:58.660
+To find six tenths of one percent within our budget the
+
+00:56:58.660 --> 00:57:04.880
+phone pre k without a tax increase we're getting ready as democracy
+
+00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:09.790
+it...kind of did something interesting with lap salaries there's another
+
+00:57:09.790 --> 00:57:16.080
+eleven million dollars worth of lap salaries are going to go into the fun balance july
+
+00:57:16.080 --> 00:57:20.960
+Now I'm not saying we ought to take that but that's one of the things that will go there.
+
+00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:24.590
+There are all types of savings within a multi nearly
+
+00:57:24.590 --> 00:57:28.700
+multi-billion-dollar budget.
+
+00:57:28.700 --> 00:57:33.350
+So, rather than asking the taxpayers to tighten their
+
+00:57:33.350 --> 00:57:34.500
+belts.
+
+00:57:34.500 --> 00:57:35.790
+I'm going to say let's tighten
+
+00:57:35.790 --> 00:57:40.590
+it ourself and by law all I have to say how we would do that so I'm going to say use
+
+00:57:40.590 --> 00:57:45.510
+...balance with the full expectation that the county manager will find those
+
+00:57:45.510 --> 00:57:50.190
+savings over the next twelve years to either replace the phones in the fun ballot or not the
+
+00:57:50.190 --> 00:57:54.560
+fun balances essentially the taxpayers savings account.
+
+00:57:54.560 --> 00:57:58.970
+So, rather than asking individual taxpayers who can't afford a tax increase to go to
+
+00:57:58.970 --> 00:58:02.620
+their personal savings account I'm asking...
+
+00:58:02.620 --> 00:58:07.530
+We collectively go to the cronies savings account that is the
+
+00:58:07.530 --> 00:58:11.020
+taxpayers tax money for that reason.
+
+00:58:11.020 --> 00:58:15.810
+Over the last year we magically found a hundred-million-dollars available for soccer and then we gave
+
+00:58:15.810 --> 00:58:19.740
+...we find ways to do individual
+
+00:58:19.740 --> 00:58:24.220
+projects for individual commissioners I'm as guilty as any there are things that happen in
+
+00:58:24.220 --> 00:58:28.980
+my district that we find the phones for every year.
+
+00:58:28.980 --> 00:58:32.840
+When us a cinch down and tighten your belt that means that next year
+
+00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:37.770
+we might not be able to do is many of those individual projects that we might that
+
+00:58:37.770 --> 00:58:41.430
+might come up but if pre k is that important then I'm willing to
+
+00:58:41.430 --> 00:58:46.920
+forego any of those over the next year let's...the next year?
+
+00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.830
+Involved with pre k let's spend the next year finding the
+
+00:58:50.830 --> 00:58:55.470
+...supplement but let's do it by making the government find the money
+
+00:58:55.470 --> 00:59:00.090
+not the individual taxpayers and next year when the re valuation
+
+00:59:00.090 --> 00:59:07.160
+comes along and for the first-time and many years I think there are going to be.
+
+00:59:07.160 --> 00:59:10.920
+Folks that we consider at risk.
+
+00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:13.600
+Seeing massive tax increases because of the
+
+00:59:13.600 --> 00:59:18.630
+justification of areas like shun philly and.
+
+00:59:18.630 --> 00:59:22.900
+Belmont and...where the land values...sky
+
+00:59:22.900 --> 00:59:28.220
+rocketing re valuation going to hit people not wealthy folks at lake norman they're going to hit
+
+00:59:28.220 --> 00:59:33.720
+landowners whose land is all the sudden very expensive very valuable in
+
+00:59:33.720 --> 00:59:38.340
+near downtown charlotte have homes they can afford huge tax increases
+
+00:59:38.340 --> 00:59:43.000
+so if we can put in a tax increase this year.
+
+00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:46.150
+It's a double-whammy for those people next year so
+
+00:59:46.150 --> 00:59:48.890
+I'm merely saying let's do everything.
+
+00:59:50.120 --> 00:59:52.130
+Find the savings within operations
+
+00:59:53.180 --> 00:59:57.560
+if we can't do it and I am confident that we can.
+
+00:59:57.560 --> 01:00:02.580
+Then we will have to use fun balance will have to use the...and then
+
+01:00:02.580 --> 01:00:08.640
+we'll deal with all the tax increases at...next year.
+
+01:00:08.640 --> 01:00:12.560
+Thank you very much case...some of whom forms
+
+01:00:12.560 --> 01:00:22.110
+...a...clark leak and right now.
+
+01:00:22.110 --> 01:00:23.320
+We have a total
+
+01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:32.400
+budget of one-point-seven billion not a multi billion budget near
+
+01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:33.810
+With this.
+
+01:00:33.810 --> 01:00:39.090
+Query in that one-point-seven billion is obviously a large amount of
+
+01:00:39.090 --> 01:00:43.160
+money for...microsoft are you proposing that the manager have
+
+01:00:43.160 --> 01:00:47.960
+the discretionary authority to reduce the appropriation
+
+01:00:49.170 --> 01:00:56.870
+to see microsoft as a way of finding the pre k without tax increases.
+
+01:00:56.870 --> 01:00:58.220
+It's a question directly to me
+
+01:00:58.220 --> 01:01:03.580
+so all winterI'm not telling the manager how-to-do-it all.
+
+01:01:03.580 --> 01:01:05.900
+...my question let me just ask it again just
+
+01:01:05.900 --> 01:01:09.810
+so you actually understand art does your motion
+
+01:01:09.810 --> 01:01:14.330
+your motion was that she have complete discretion what I'm asking you in
+
+01:01:14.330 --> 01:01:22.050
+addition to proposing money for symmetric salary increase there was money for.
+
+01:01:22.050 --> 01:01:26.850
+Guidance counselors psychologists social workers saying seventeen of them are you
+
+01:01:26.850 --> 01:01:31.160
+proposing that she could decide to eliminate the funding
+
+01:01:31.160 --> 01:01:36.010
+for those seventeen social workers and use it for pre k.
+
+01:01:36.010 --> 01:01:38.960
+Which you have that discretion?
+
+01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:44.050
+Under your motion.
+
+01:01:44.050 --> 01:01:46.470
+Yes, and, also in let me speak to that
+
+01:01:46.470 --> 01:01:52.380
+it's unfortunately I would like that not to be the case but see microsoft has decided
+
+01:01:52.380 --> 01:01:57.350
+they want us to micro manage...budget by telling them what we will invest in what we want.
+
+01:01:57.350 --> 01:02:02.840
+I would much prefer that the manager not have to say I'm going to not do a or not
+
+01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:04.940
+...goes but since they
+
+01:02:04.940 --> 01:02:09.970
+...they are the ones who decide what they put it our lap if you're
+
+01:02:09.970 --> 01:02:11.120
+...the consequences
+
+01:02:11.120 --> 01:02:16.780
+are giving up your own authority is you have to deal with the consequences of...
+
+01:02:16.780 --> 01:02:21.400
+in charge of that I would hope that the county manager would find it within the county's
+
+01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:26.130
+budget to do that I would not anticipate that she would take it from
+
+01:02:26.130 --> 01:02:30.790
+the microsoft but we hire her to do a very difficult job so if she came
+
+01:02:30.790 --> 01:02:33.790
+back so that's the only place you could do it.
+
+01:02:33.790 --> 01:02:38.420
+Perhaps but I think she can find without doing see a mess so
+
+01:02:38.420 --> 01:02:43.350
+if I if there's a minimum amount motion to restrict her from...that would make you comfortable I would
+
+01:02:43.350 --> 01:02:52.160
+accept that amendment...what understand version one other question these would be.
+
+01:02:52.160 --> 01:02:53.720
+I mean if you create the
+
+01:02:53.720 --> 01:02:58.910
+...program with thirty three classrooms.
+
+01:02:58.910 --> 01:03:06.400
+And, you don't...tax increase to fund it.
+
+01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:10.280
+Would you find it from fun balance next year?
+
+01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:15.120
+...cross that bridge we get their next yearhere's the here's the here's the thing
+
+01:03:15.120 --> 01:03:19.040
+you're assumption is one of the ones that those in the
+
+01:03:19.040 --> 01:03:21.090
+democratically the liberal arm of the
+
+01:03:21.090 --> 01:03:26.000
+recording believe in is that anything the government starts.
+
+01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:30.110
+Goes on forever I would argue that somewhere down the line we have
+
+01:03:30.110 --> 01:03:34.930
+to decide whether this is a wise thing to do or not so I'm not even saying that if we
+
+01:03:34.930 --> 01:03:38.910
+start it next year that it will be around the year after that.
+
+01:03:38.910 --> 01:03:42.070
+I amwas surprised to learn.
+
+01:03:42.070 --> 01:03:46.260
+The bright beginnings does a better job seem is a better job
+
+01:03:46.260 --> 01:03:47.900
+...bright beginnings in the north carolina
+
+01:03:47.900 --> 01:03:53.320
+...program does and for the first-time ever in my life I'm saying maybe the answer is to
+
+01:03:53.320 --> 01:03:58.090
+give bright beginnings more money so I would say,
+
+01:03:58.090 --> 01:04:02.700
+yeah, I want to do a year but just because we do...year doesn't mean that we do it
+
+01:04:02.700 --> 01:04:06.710
+forever so perhaps next year we find that those
+
+01:04:06.710 --> 01:04:11.790
+kids those thirty two classrooms we need to not do it again and
+
+01:04:11.790 --> 01:04:18.370
+they won't be pre k for those kids we may have heard that money somewhere I'll deal with it next...
+
+01:04:18.370 --> 01:04:22.880
+I hope I'm here others have an opportunity that seem to be a colossal waste of movie money
+
+01:04:22.880 --> 01:04:27.930
+to set up all the infrastructure hire the people.
+
+01:04:27.930 --> 01:04:32.740
+And, then decide not to do it for that, you know, doing it for a long a period of time
+
+01:04:32.740 --> 01:04:37.490
+to determine whether it's effective or not and this is also as.
+
+01:04:37.490 --> 01:04:43.210
+You were here for the struggling session but one of the points I...is that.
+
+01:04:43.210 --> 01:04:46.640
+You and others have long.
+
+01:04:46.640 --> 01:04:53.760
+Felt that...can...can do a better job of everything.
+
+01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:56.230
+...city or see...or, you know,
+
+01:04:56.230 --> 01:05:00.290
+any other government and this is this freaking program actually would be
+
+01:05:00.290 --> 01:05:05.100
+funded would be would be really although we would contracting
+
+01:05:05.100 --> 01:05:10.900
+with smart start to do it we would we would actually the county be overseeing through our
+
+01:05:10.900 --> 01:05:15.070
+contractor smart search so it's actually kind of unique opportunity but
+
+01:05:15.070 --> 01:05:19.870
+I just want for those of you are listening tonight and this is pretty arcane
+
+01:05:19.870 --> 01:05:25.690
+stuff I actually have been on the task force with commissioner...and with
+
+01:05:25.690 --> 01:05:30.770
+commissioner scarborough that has been really closely examining this concept of the
+
+01:05:30.770 --> 01:05:37.270
+pre k and I based on the evidence that's been presented I do think
+
+01:05:37.270 --> 01:05:41.770
+it has a lot of promise and this board really on record as supporting universal
+
+01:05:41.770 --> 01:05:47.070
+pre k education which I think if you're a teacher my daughter's teacher
+
+01:05:47.070 --> 01:05:52.830
+...you know, having kids ready for school.
+
+01:05:52.830 --> 01:05:55.990
+Particularly those who are coming from disadvantage backgrounds
+
+01:05:57.670 --> 01:06:02.670
+both economically and deprived of other...opportunities that those of
+
+01:06:02.670 --> 01:06:07.130
+us with money can afford to give our children and preschool good preschools I think
+
+01:06:07.130 --> 01:06:10.520
+it's a potentially an extremely valuable thing but it's
+
+01:06:10.520 --> 01:06:14.320
+going to be expensive proposition for mecca...county and we can't
+
+01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:20.310
+...it through our fun balance on a long-term basis we can't find it by cutting other
+
+01:06:20.310 --> 01:06:25.110
+park and recreation positions in library positions and
+
+01:06:25.110 --> 01:06:31.080
+...guidance counselor we can't we can't find it that way and,
+
+01:06:31.080 --> 01:06:35.970
+I do think ...microsoft is very much in need particularly at this point
+
+01:06:38.520 --> 01:06:43.040
+of the kind of support services that the...saw fit to...
+
+01:06:43.040 --> 01:06:47.710
+a recommended budget for almost five million dollars for thirty three guidance
+
+01:06:47.710 --> 01:06:53.830
+counselors ten psychologists and seventeen social workers I to me those things are really important
+
+01:06:53.830 --> 01:06:58.370
+so, I'm going to vote against this motion and, those are the reasons why.
+
+01:06:59.600 --> 01:07:02.120
+Commission...the...
+
+01:07:02.120 --> 01:07:08.270
+Thank you madame cheer have been relatively quiet tonight?
+
+01:07:08.270 --> 01:07:12.780
+And, the reason I've been quieted because I didn't feel like it was necessary to say a fourth time
+
+01:07:12.780 --> 01:07:17.580
+...it already been cthree times I don't know if you'll notice that or not but you
+
+01:07:17.580 --> 01:07:22.880
+had to have lap salary...a lot of times and have all these other things maps over so
+
+01:07:24.260 --> 01:07:29.680
+...have to do that but I do want to talk about this motion?
+
+01:07:29.680 --> 01:07:33.530
+We've been told that we can afford it.
+
+01:07:33.530 --> 01:07:36.270
+...who made that statement is on
+
+01:07:36.270 --> 01:07:41.090
+record of supporting billions of dollars to back
+
+01:07:41.090 --> 01:07:42.680
+out a contract.
+
+01:07:42.680 --> 01:07:46.670
+Because they don't like what's happening on us and he said.
+
+01:07:46.670 --> 01:07:53.090
+But,...telling you can afford to educate kids I want you to hear that.
+
+01:07:53.090 --> 01:07:57.650
+The person the person who told you that also serves.
+
+01:07:57.650 --> 01:08:02.560
+Our did...on the board of directors of a charter school telling you what
+
+01:08:02.560 --> 01:08:05.920
+...public schools ought to be doing I want to hear
+
+01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:10.870
+the charge goes problemsnow...I did not interrupt you
+
+01:08:10.870 --> 01:08:15.390
+thank you it is a public school but it's a charter school.
+
+01:08:15.390 --> 01:08:19.340
+Okay, so, it's real simple are cut the chase.
+
+01:08:19.340 --> 01:08:22.720
+We have had this debate for years.
+
+01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:27.050
+When people aren't satisfied with the information they get
+
+01:08:27.050 --> 01:08:31.960
+than they think everybody else ought not be satisfied you
+
+01:08:31.960 --> 01:08:33.670
+notice that there was no
+
+01:08:33.670 --> 01:08:38.550
+discussion about democrat or republican until it was just me
+
+01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:44.370
+...a liberal ideal conservative idea not one person
+
+01:08:44.370 --> 01:08:44.870
+yield?
+
+01:08:45.970 --> 01:08:49.740
+...the legislature controlled by republicans
+
+01:08:49.740 --> 01:08:53.980
+decided to impacts people when they couldn't afford it
+
+01:08:53.980 --> 01:08:56.660
+by adding text to repair bills.
+
+01:08:56.660 --> 01:09:00.580
+On automobiles I could go to...of...things that they edit
+
+01:09:00.580 --> 01:09:04.830
+...when now we can't afford it so
+
+01:09:04.830 --> 01:09:09.630
+what I've learned throughout my use in politics is that.
+
+01:09:09.630 --> 01:09:14.340
+You can never afford what they don't want to...
+
+01:09:14.340 --> 01:09:17.770
+But, by the same token they want you to pay for what
+
+01:09:17.770 --> 01:09:22.730
+they want so as long as we understand what's really happening
+
+01:09:22.730 --> 01:09:27.260
+...you understand the acid is being disingenuous
+
+01:09:27.260 --> 01:09:29.570
+and lastly.
+
+01:09:29.570 --> 01:09:32.849
+I will say this.
+
+01:09:32.849 --> 01:09:34.169
+There has been an injustice.
+
+01:09:35.669 --> 01:09:39.160
+Done to children.
+
+01:09:39.160 --> 01:09:44.960
+Who have not had the opportunity?
+
+01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:49.170
+Out of poverty.
+
+01:09:49.170 --> 01:09:53.990
+We have long...justice...just
+
+01:09:55.060 --> 01:09:59.660
+And, we should not deny these children any longer.
+
+01:09:59.660 --> 01:10:04.730
+our next speaker originally thank you madam chairman and.
+
+01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.600
+Thank you teachers for being here in the community.
+
+01:10:09.700 --> 01:10:13.840
+Listening.
+
+01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:16.960
+Some years ago on the school board who we were struggling.
+
+01:10:18.030 --> 01:10:21.440
+For educating children van.
+
+01:10:21.440 --> 01:10:24.980
+It was a problem because of the same rhetoric that
+
+01:10:24.980 --> 01:10:29.340
+he's using tonight the same rhetoric but it was a group of them
+
+01:10:29.340 --> 01:10:34.940
+brought a lawsuit against the school system not to do it.
+
+01:10:34.940 --> 01:10:37.970
+And, we were fighting to educate our children.
+
+01:10:39.070 --> 01:10:45.390
+So, you can...was a democratic issue our...to me it was a human issue issues.
+
+01:10:45.390 --> 01:10:48.560
+Those of you who work with children know.
+
+01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:52.370
+That if they have a better start they can do better in school.
+
+01:10:52.370 --> 01:10:54.280
+And, they're not by hand.
+
+01:10:54.280 --> 01:10:56.710
+Poverty is a way of life in this community.
+
+01:10:58.020 --> 01:11:02.490
+And, nobody wants to change it in education is a way out
+
+01:11:02.490 --> 01:11:06.530
+of my parents used to say if you get an education you
+
+01:11:06.530 --> 01:11:10.910
+can make it that's what you tell your children make you teach everyday
+
+01:11:10.910 --> 01:11:17.170
+I'll stay here and get an education so you can have a better life.
+
+01:11:17.170 --> 01:11:20.950
+So, here comes somebody will miss the straw vote and
+
+01:11:20.950 --> 01:11:25.940
+...followed us up all night with his...of why we should not
+
+01:11:25.940 --> 01:11:29.100
+go to this process for my...
+
+01:11:29.100 --> 01:11:33.370
+These are the most valuable people we have our future.
+
+01:11:34.380 --> 01:11:36.140
+They will see that we have social security.
+
+01:11:37.750 --> 01:11:42.100
+They will make sure that if communities what it ought to be we still
+
+01:11:42.100 --> 01:11:44.150
+have a segregated community.
+
+01:11:45.380 --> 01:11:48.560
+And, the school system is the most segregated
+
+01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:53.240
+society we have other than the church on sunday morning.
+
+01:11:53.240 --> 01:11:58.080
+when you hear...rhetoric of we can't do it and they do what they
+
+01:11:58.080 --> 01:12:03.000
+what to do and rally behind closed doors and he's up every day just about
+
+01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:07.540
+enron...them take...business all the premise that
+
+01:12:07.540 --> 01:12:12.530
+...vice chair from that number county and sick and tired of the people
+
+01:12:12.530 --> 01:12:18.310
+up at me that he's up there bothering with the lead inflation is
+
+01:12:18.310 --> 01:12:25.610
+...allies what...you...up...the city is tad newcomer
+
+01:12:25.610 --> 01:12:31.060
+...what to do...you to say to do anything for us we have our
+
+01:12:32.460 --> 01:12:35.450
+...chairperson represents us.
+
+01:12:35.450 --> 01:12:39.080
+So, all I'm saying how much do we pay for
+
+01:12:39.080 --> 01:12:44.060
+it again may day thirty four dollars a day.
+
+01:12:44.060 --> 01:12:52.020
+And, we've been less than that...for...in school.
+
+01:12:52.020 --> 01:12:56.130
+You rather see them incarcerated then you would call
+
+01:12:56.130 --> 01:13:00.720
+this free labor.
+
+01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:07.980
+And, you have those companies economy and, make money...people who make a mistake.
+
+01:13:07.980 --> 01:13:12.420
+Because they don't have money can get out of it.
+
+01:13:12.420 --> 01:13:16.820
+So, when you listen to the rhetoric and look at the
+
+01:13:16.820 --> 01:13:17.320
+history?
+
+01:13:18.350 --> 01:13:22.750
+When asset on aboard jaws dunlap said on the board of the griffin
+
+01:13:22.750 --> 01:13:24.650
+...on the board?
+
+01:13:24.650 --> 01:13:27.170
+...a...set on the...
+
+01:13:27.170 --> 01:13:28.430
+This same.
+
+01:13:28.430 --> 01:13:33.090
+Camera...tonight is what I've heard from that gentleman although...
+
+01:13:33.090 --> 01:13:38.500
+is never wanted to do anything right for the week is about a week
+
+01:13:38.500 --> 01:13:43.420
+now you can laugh when I say are not you can hold me accountable all you
+
+01:13:43.420 --> 01:13:46.220
+...region history.
+
+01:13:46.220 --> 01:13:48.100
+...of this community
+
+01:13:49.150 --> 01:13:56.330
+you've got people working for seven thousand...trying to make it but yet the county
+
+01:13:56.330 --> 01:14:02.400
+...help them to survive because they're not making a salary of such
+
+01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:06.290
+...annette children...school without the necessary things they knee.
+
+01:14:06.290 --> 01:14:10.460
+Pads having two or three job right here in this building.
+
+01:14:10.460 --> 01:14:11.420
+And, I get upset.
+
+01:14:13.120 --> 01:14:17.350
+When his brother comes to me with that rhetoric he does
+
+01:14:17.350 --> 01:14:22.130
+that mean me any good not does he mean match children...good with each
+
+01:14:22.130 --> 01:14:26.390
+...that way so you can...what assay are not like it
+
+01:14:26.390 --> 01:14:29.530
+...don't deny it all you gotta do is review history
+
+01:14:29.530 --> 01:14:34.550
+books and the history book has not been read by the civil rights movement
+
+01:14:34.550 --> 01:14:40.310
+...intent was to be progressive country and has been...
+
+01:14:40.310 --> 01:14:46.010
+All assay to us you better wake up...pay attention to the
+
+01:14:46.010 --> 01:14:50.000
+...and people you elect and put in office
+
+01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:53.700
+hold them accountable because you have people for people who didn't
+
+01:14:53.700 --> 01:14:56.800
+buffet a budget or last tuesday.
+
+01:14:56.800 --> 01:15:00.400
+And, sitting up here talking about read what they do and for you they didn't do it
+
+01:15:00.400 --> 01:15:04.700
+...tuesday...they voted against the budget.
+
+01:15:04.700 --> 01:15:10.630
+...against the budget republicans voted against the budget.
+
+01:15:10.630 --> 01:15:12.790
+So, an awfully upset.
+
+01:15:13.910 --> 01:15:18.180
+Because you talking...welfare my baby's walk around barefoot
+
+01:15:18.180 --> 01:15:22.640
+going to prison and...talking about closing the prison dole tom
+
+01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:27.610

+I...in at commissioner james.
+
+01:16:38.750 --> 01:16:41.500
+May have been out of order speaking
+
+01:16:41.500 --> 01:16:47.290
+before being acknowledge but that's actually very first point my notes here
+
+01:16:47.290 --> 01:16:51.560
+was going to try to dial everything back...hair there's been a lot of
+
+01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:54.990
+emotion and...all from all sides being the you know,
+
+01:16:54.990 --> 01:16:58.340
+talking about this budget and whether folks are going
+
+01:16:58.340 --> 01:17:03.160
+to support pre k or not as pre k and, you know,
+
+01:17:03.160 --> 01:17:08.280
+we've had that debate I'm sure we've had a...times we've talked about...the past meetings
+
+01:17:08.280 --> 01:17:13.020
+I have no doubt talk about it many times the future but right now before us
+
+01:17:13.020 --> 01:17:17.390
+what this motion does is it does fund fully
+
+01:17:17.390 --> 01:17:21.340
+find everything in the managers budget including pre k
+
+01:17:21.340 --> 01:17:26.840
+is does so without associated tax increase it
+
+01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:31.710
+pulls the money if it's unavailable of manager if it's.
+
+01:17:31.710 --> 01:17:36.770
+April of next year may of next year and the manager says
+
+01:17:36.770 --> 01:17:39.190
+...find as much as I can to make, you know,
+
+01:17:39.190 --> 01:17:44.260
+to fund this a report from fun bounce from bounce like a savings account so
+
+01:17:44.260 --> 01:17:49.090
+that is the extent of this motion it does fully fund managers budget including
+
+01:17:49.090 --> 01:17:53.920
+pre k so I really hope that we can talk about pre k another time
+
+01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:58.730
+axis is really about budget this evening and I think you will find that many of
+
+01:17:58.730 --> 01:18:03.080
+us do support the idea of pre k we don't support the idea
+
+01:18:03.080 --> 01:18:08.620
+of tax increases especially this year prior to evaluation...get that
+
+01:18:08.620 --> 01:18:13.700
+so moment first thank someone mentioned something earlier and I counted touch on as well and
+
+01:18:13.700 --> 01:18:19.760
+I've actually had this conversation withschool board member over the weekend and that is I do wish,
+
+01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:23.720
+you know, there's, there's bright beginnings and see microsoft...and see pre k
+
+01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:29.110
+right beginnings is a program a lot of folks the audience...but for those who
+
+01:18:29.110 --> 01:18:33.880
+are you watching at home or aren't familiar bright beginnings focuses
+
+01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:39.280
+on children who have I need for specialized education I'm sure you guys to explain
+
+01:18:39.280 --> 01:18:43.490
+...carbon I could but have some specialized education and,
+
+01:18:43.490 --> 01:18:50.240
+see pre k is tailored more towards children who have?
+
+01:18:50.240 --> 01:18:52.840
+Economic...that they need space thank you
+
+01:18:52.840 --> 01:19:01.610
+need space program so I instead of standing up a third coherence...do.
+
+01:19:01.610 --> 01:19:05.700
+But, instead of setting up a third pre k program within the county I do wish and I'll leave
+
+01:19:05.700 --> 01:19:09.490
+...this and move on I do wish there had been some collaboration between us and see a
+
+01:19:09.490 --> 01:19:13.940
+...because I think that's us already has infrastructure in place they already have
+
+01:19:13.940 --> 01:19:18.620
+counselors they already have transportation is already in the estimate comes with the cost
+
+01:19:18.620 --> 01:19:22.790
+but it's already there you guys are already doing it every day and I feel like even though
+
+01:19:22.790 --> 01:19:27.190
+...beginnings isn't what we're replicating and see pre k and quite well replicating
+
+01:19:27.190 --> 01:19:31.330
+...sort of a hybrid decide is probably an opportunity there
+
+01:19:31.330 --> 01:19:37.430
+for some collaboration maybe that, you know, just didn't work out but I want to talk just
+
+01:19:37.430 --> 01:19:41.610
+numbers four seconds is a budget conversation and,
+
+01:19:41.610 --> 01:19:47.310
+talk about the tax increase and why many of us are oppose a tax increase?
+
+01:19:47.310 --> 01:19:51.330
+Excuse me especially this year.
+
+01:19:51.330 --> 01:19:54.010
+A lot of,... look,...I'm a republican and I hear
+
+01:19:54.010 --> 01:19:58.670
+...all the time about why republicans are anti tax increases and
+
+01:19:58.670 --> 01:20:03.500
+why we're always looking to cut taxes and often times the reasons given
+
+01:20:03.500 --> 01:20:06.360
+or not positive there more?
+
+01:20:06.360 --> 01:20:12.430
+...the rich for their...themselves by the way but, you know,
+
+01:20:13.480 --> 01:20:17.150
+that's not really the case I think I'm going to...down some numbers here
+
+01:20:17.150 --> 01:20:23.290
+and kind of illustrate why especially this year I'm opposed to a tax increase especially
+
+01:20:23.290 --> 01:20:28.790
+we can find everything without a tax increase I really...seeing a dump on it like we've been having this
+
+01:20:28.790 --> 01:20:33.070
+...should be a no-brainer here's some numbers so blurs might
+
+01:20:33.070 --> 01:20:35.290
+some things first off of one argument here is I've
+
+01:20:35.290 --> 01:20:39.310
+...the other day someone told me thisthat said I live in apartments
+
+01:20:39.310 --> 01:20:44.880
+that a meeting we're talking about affordable housing audience...live in an apartment
+
+01:20:44.880 --> 01:20:49.400
+and appropriate I don't play I don't pay property taxes
+
+01:20:49.400 --> 01:20:54.350
+that's absolutely pay property taxes if you live in an apartment you may not write
+
+01:20:54.350 --> 01:20:58.760
+the check to make hamburg county but your landlord is paying that tax and
+
+01:20:58.760 --> 01:21:04.100
+that tax is being passed down to you the residents in the form of a higher
+
+01:21:04.100 --> 01:21:14.720
+rent so the idea that someone who lives in apartment doesn't pay taxes that's not the case.
+
+01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:16.610
+...that's not the case but...only
+
+01:21:16.610 --> 01:21:20.750
+...something with the taxes and why this year I'm really especially
+
+01:21:20.750 --> 01:21:25.400
+...the idea of a tax increase and that is because of the evaluation next
+
+01:21:25.400 --> 01:21:30.100
+year the evaluation everyone remembers you know, most folks over two thousand
+
+01:21:30.100 --> 01:21:35.580
+eleven and what the county went through in the aftermath of the two thousand eleven or evaluation where
+
+01:21:35.580 --> 01:21:41.000
+we ultimately returned over seventy million dollars back to taxpayers so next year we have
+
+01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:45.870
+a re valuation well as part of evaluation you know,...already have
+
+01:21:45.870 --> 01:21:50.310
+a fraser's going around the community emitted visited your house or your or your
+
+01:21:51.530 --> 01:21:56.160
+...your apartment complex whatever they're assessing the value of that property well early reports
+
+01:21:56.160 --> 01:22:01.140
+...google doesn't look it up early reports is that the average increase property value
+
+01:22:01.140 --> 01:22:05.900
+increase...counties is expected to be north of thirty percent and some are calling as high
+
+01:22:05.900 --> 01:22:11.220
+as forty percent so whatthirty or forty percent increase in your valuation means with
+
+01:22:11.220 --> 01:22:15.920
+means that without a without associated tax reduction
+
+01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:20.260
+and tax the tax rate stays the same in your valuation goes up thirty percent
+
+01:22:20.260 --> 01:22:23.110
+...taxes just went up thirty percent of that
+
+01:22:23.110 --> 01:22:26.930
+is substantial tax increase being discussed this year this month this year
+
+01:22:26.930 --> 01:22:32.910
+tonight is admittedly a very modest one but, in the year before ...
+
+01:22:32.910 --> 01:22:37.830
+evaluation I think it's important that we don't set that we don't raise that tax
+
+01:22:37.830 --> 01:22:42.650
+rate because then on top of the room and the evaluations put on top of the next year
+
+01:22:42.650 --> 01:22:47.610
+...be an even higher tax rate increase here some numbers if someone were to live in a modest
+
+01:22:47.610 --> 01:22:52.280
+fifteen hundred a modest home that had that pays fifteen hundred-dollars a
+
+01:22:52.280 --> 01:22:57.200
+year in taxes I'm guessing that's probably around the hundred-and-some thousand dollar
+
+01:22:57.200 --> 01:23:01.940
+homes if the value goes up to thirty percent...fifteen
+
+01:23:01.940 --> 01:23:06.420
+hundred-dollars worth of tax in taxes goes up to nineteen fifty?
+
+01:23:06.420 --> 01:23:11.350
+That's thirty seven dollars and fifty cents per month if they're value if the rate stays the same
+
+01:23:11.350 --> 01:23:14.670
+thank you if...value goes up forty percent that
+
+01:23:14.670 --> 01:23:19.170
+tact that tax bill now is twenty one hundred-dollars from fifteen hundred-dollars to twenty one
+
+01:23:19.170 --> 01:23:23.000
+hundred-dollars that's fifty dollars a month I don't think that anybody who lives in a
+
+01:23:23.000 --> 01:23:28.450
+fit home that's paying fifteen hundred-dollars a year in taxes would say that you forty dollars
+
+01:23:28.450 --> 01:23:34.420
+or fifty dollars extra month is anything but substantial a... and, this is substantially
+
+01:23:34.420 --> 01:23:39.100
+increase now next year with the tax rate come down somewhat I'm sure that's actually
+
+01:23:39.100 --> 01:23:43.040
+will come down somewhat to account for some of that thirty to forty percent increase
+
+01:23:43.040 --> 01:23:47.760
+in property values but...things that come out down to revenue neutral where, you know,
+
+01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:52.640
+you what you paid this year's we paying next year I can sure that's just we have already heard the preliminary conversations
+
+01:23:52.640 --> 01:23:55.640
+that's not document at the case so there will be
+
+01:23:55.640 --> 01:24:01.180
+a sizable tax increase I foresee next year and,
+
+01:24:01.180 --> 01:24:07.300
+...I don't have a crystal ball that you know, not been serving as long as some other members of the board but.
+
+01:24:07.300 --> 01:24:11.450
+I've been right about a number of things before I...pretty positive I'll be right about that one
+
+01:24:12.870 --> 01:24:16.540
+I one thing I was...I tried.
+
+01:24:16.540 --> 01:24:21.630
+Sometimes...better, better successful...sometimes I'd like to try to
+
+01:24:21.630 --> 01:24:26.640
+stay sometimes away from the partisan fray and you know,
+
+01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:31.340
+supporting something database on adventures in blue jersey and things like
+
+01:24:31.340 --> 01:24:36.520
+that but I tell you when you have a conversation like we've heard tonight where everyone is...everyone but a
+
+01:24:36.520 --> 01:24:41.440
+number of folks are just passionately opposed to this proposal this proposal
+
+01:24:41.440 --> 01:24:45.800
+...fully funds pre k it fully phones the parks budget and everything and
+
+01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:48.730
+...evidence in the managers budget fully funds it
+
+01:24:48.730 --> 01:24:52.760
+just doesn't have associated tax increase to pay for it and folks are
+
+01:24:52.760 --> 01:24:57.510
+so opposed to that it's kind of blows my mind especially as these reasons
+
+01:24:57.510 --> 01:25:01.910
+illustrate earlier the year before evaluation and I have to question
+
+01:25:01.910 --> 01:25:06.860
+if sometimes folks are...something just because a member of the other party is the one that
+
+01:25:06.860 --> 01:25:11.340
+proposed the idea I look back at two thousand fourteen when I had a proposal
+
+01:25:11.340 --> 01:25:18.160
+that would that would offer a half cent tax rate reduction and
+
+01:25:18.160 --> 01:25:23.690
+would give a few hundred dollar bonus to every employee and see a...I did the math it
+
+01:25:23.690 --> 01:25:28.250
+...mean every employee cafeteria bus driver everybody in
+
+01:25:28.250 --> 01:25:32.860
+see microsoft and, that would come at no,
+
+01:25:32.860 --> 01:25:37.640
+impact to the to the...budget nothing would get cut how to do that...how you possibly pull
+
+01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:43.480
+something like that off so it was by moving right now we allocate a certain number of
+
+01:25:43.480 --> 01:25:47.910
+...it's eighteen half eighteen cents from every dollar paid in taxes we put
+
+01:25:47.910 --> 01:25:52.780
+into our fun bounds that savings account we've been talking about so my proposal back then it was something
+
+01:25:52.780 --> 01:25:57.690
+like twenty one cents so my proposal was hey let's just instead of three and twenty one cents of every
+
+01:25:57.690 --> 01:26:00.230
+...out of every dollar in the count we just
+
+01:26:00.230 --> 01:26:04.390
+put twenty cents and I heard we can't do that we can do that we have to put money in that fun
+
+01:26:04.390 --> 01:26:07.660
+...how we pay for our debt services how we
+
+01:26:07.660 --> 01:26:12.270
+...we draw from those phones and we need to an emergency...four hundred...why we can't
+
+01:26:12.270 --> 01:26:17.070
+quite say how many times we have lowered that twenty one cents down to eighteen senses
+
+01:26:17.070 --> 01:26:22.350
+...now...every year we lower it to a lower amount so we could have
+
+01:26:22.350 --> 01:26:26.920
+...and if we had showed only a few hundred-dollars but I think everybody like a few a few
+
+01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:29.720
+hundred-dollars you could buy some presence or something or, you know,
+
+01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:34.790
+at the end-of-the-year and, there was a tax rate reduction with that why
+
+01:26:34.790 --> 01:26:38.980
+would people be so close that I don't know maybe, you know,
+
+01:26:38.980 --> 01:26:47.990
+you is tree you can I actually google's article on the other day just make sure I
+
+01:26:47.990 --> 01:26:52.760
+I often wonder if it's because of the two jersey of the person makes motion things get
+
+01:26:52.760 --> 01:26:58.470
+that things don't move forward you know, and, I think about that when I think about
+
+01:26:58.470 --> 01:27:03.280
+...your pockets proposal because again we have a proposal...fund everything
+
+01:27:03.280 --> 01:27:07.550
+...budget including pre k whether someone up here...support free k
+
+01:27:07.550 --> 01:27:12.160
+doesn't support pre k we can have that discussion of time right now before us
+
+01:27:12.160 --> 01:27:15.870
+...proposal fully funded and everything else and...budget and not
+
+01:27:15.870 --> 01:27:20.760
+have a tax increase I call that a win for everybody and, that's why I support...
+
+01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:25.640
+pockets motion like you just as a matter of clarity it's the debt service fond and we put nineteen and a half
+
+01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:31.730
+cents in there every year asians let's just make sure we had accurate information out there the human
+
+01:27:31.730 --> 01:27:34.540
+one that I...doesn't fourteen thanking...
+
+01:27:36.130 --> 01:27:38.050
+Clarify that the information should be correct
+
+01:27:38.050 --> 01:27:42.800
+...a problem speakershave full of dunlap and
+
+01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:48.670
+...and actually the last speaker all right well manager thank you so much
+
+01:27:48.670 --> 01:27:55.590
+...and thank you for recognize me on this and,
+
+01:27:55.590 --> 01:28:00.880
+in response to what the commission right now are just said?
+
+01:28:00.880 --> 01:28:05.710
+I think commissioner clark gave very cogent reasons why we are well that
+
+01:28:05.710 --> 01:28:10.110
+...to oppose the motion which is that.
+
+01:28:10.110 --> 01:28:12.820
+By doing this you cansustainability
+
+01:28:12.820 --> 01:28:17.540
+fond universal pre k because what you're doing it sounds really
+
+01:28:17.540 --> 01:28:22.190
+good right now but you can't keep doing it that way so what
+
+01:28:22.190 --> 01:28:27.180
+you're effectively proposing is the destruction
+
+01:28:27.180 --> 01:28:31.410
+of universal pre k because we cannot possibly
+
+01:28:31.410 --> 01:28:34.730
+funded the way that you are suggesting and madam chair
+
+01:28:34.730 --> 01:28:40.910
+...just I just have to say that this motion sounds very good but it has to
+
+01:28:40.910 --> 01:28:44.430
+be rejected managing it has to be rejected
+
+01:28:44.430 --> 01:28:49.750
+because it will in danger everything we say
+
+01:28:49.750 --> 01:28:56.050
+...in favor of.
+
+01:28:56.050 --> 01:28:58.960
+I don't begrudge my colleagues
+
+01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:05.670
+for proposing something I don't begrudge them for that I just.
+
+01:29:05.670 --> 01:29:06.680
+I don't know why.
+
+01:29:08.110 --> 01:29:09.570
+Though they don't understand.
+
+01:29:10.710 --> 01:29:15.240
+That by accepting this proposal.
+
+01:29:15.240 --> 01:29:21.500
+We would essentially be destabilizing everything that we're doing you're destabilizing it and we
+
+01:29:21.500 --> 01:29:26.040
+have this whole discussion at straw vote about whether we should use...balance whether we
+
+01:29:26.040 --> 01:29:30.870
+should about the temporary nature of fun balance and how you can't
+
+01:29:30.870 --> 01:29:35.260
+support a program that's to be an ongoing program by using
+
+01:29:35.260 --> 01:29:41.240
+fun balance it's on sustainable you can't do it?
+
+01:29:41.240 --> 01:29:46.450
+You can't...your piggy bank every single year and that's essentially
+
+01:29:46.450 --> 01:29:50.820
+what you're proposing because next year you will say that we should not use
+
+01:29:50.820 --> 01:29:55.760
+tax revenue to support the pre k program that's what you'll be saying
+
+01:29:55.760 --> 01:30:02.900
+...nets...and, the whole one second...so.
+
+01:30:02.900 --> 01:30:06.910
+I don't.
+
+01:30:06.910 --> 01:30:14.560
+don't want to be said that this is just some sort of benign proposal.
+
+01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:20.200
+It is really a wolf in sheep's clothing.
+
+01:30:20.200 --> 01:30:24.250
+So, madame chair I hope you and others will reject this motion.
+
+01:30:24.250 --> 01:30:29.680
+Because it will endanger everything we're trying to do.
+
+01:30:29.680 --> 01:30:35.810
+...laugh and...well, I'll be brief for those of us who will present
+
+01:30:35.810 --> 01:30:40.440
+the strobe all we asked them manager probably ten
+
+01:30:40.440 --> 01:30:43.600
+...and a lot of different ways.
+
+01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:48.120
+Of how we could...this budget without that...cells
+
+01:30:48.120 --> 01:30:52.410
+that certainly...and she said we could do it at the expense?
+
+01:30:53.630 --> 01:30:54.450
+Of decreasing.
+
+01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:58.960
+Current services.
+
+01:30:58.960 --> 01:31:01.910
+Which means that we would then essentially
+
+01:31:01.910 --> 01:31:06.540
+decrease ems decrease the libraries decrease
+
+01:31:06.540 --> 01:31:11.450
+...social services decrease child welfare decrease pop
+
+01:31:11.450 --> 01:31:15.760
+...so that's what he's telling you he wants to do because there's no other
+
+01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:20.510
+way to do so by saying that we will fully fund everything
+
+01:31:20.510 --> 01:31:24.670
+is essentially saying...to do it knowing that we
+
+01:31:24.670 --> 01:31:29.660
+can't do it so there's a reduction all the way around?
+
+01:31:29.660 --> 01:31:34.040
+And, we let's just call what it is and we always talk about being
+
+01:31:34.040 --> 01:31:39.920
+honest and straightforward that's what that's what it does thank you commission
+
+01:31:39.920 --> 01:31:42.510
+occur.
+
+01:31:42.510 --> 01:31:44.260
+I have.
+
+01:31:44.260 --> 01:31:48.800
+...look at...I'll be less because of the
+
+01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:53.310
+...but we're a little wrestling it okay
+
+01:31:53.310 --> 01:31:59.770
+and get, you know, what I am as chair?
+
+01:31:59.770 --> 01:32:09.830
+Annual it this is that...rule one would allow me to do this.
+
+01:32:09.830 --> 01:32:12.890
+No, more discussion and of was
+
+01:32:12.890 --> 01:32:17.400
+...all along that everybody spoken twice...and we
+
+01:32:17.400 --> 01:32:21.830
+enter ahead excuse me the lawyer answer and as.
+
+01:32:24.460 --> 01:32:28.860
+...each member gets...speak twice to the issue.
+
+01:32:28.860 --> 01:32:33.620
+I've spoken once, you know,...to but they don't have to get control...speak...second
+
+01:32:34.710 --> 01:32:41.120
+...using I cannot curve discussion not at this point it has actually gone robin
+
+01:32:41.120 --> 01:32:44.260
+...we playing games here not as your chair
+
+01:32:44.260 --> 01:32:47.430
+...don't I don't like it and know where
+
+01:32:47.430 --> 01:32:52.280
+we're going and no right now what it was going to be because act until you
+
+01:32:52.280 --> 01:32:59.290
+...to...in the democratic party lease.
+
+01:32:59.290 --> 01:33:04.800
+Not...k so I don't know what we do analytical
+
+01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:08.420
+him finish it argument but I believe that the voters going to
+
+01:33:08.420 --> 01:33:13.890
+...laboratory ok so...have pre k either way in
+
+01:33:13.890 --> 01:33:20.500
+the universe is one of them are and next reconnect and
+
+01:33:20.500 --> 01:33:23.640
+...no used do here's what I was like what columns that
+
+01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:26.970
+...let's not do sermons and messages
+
+01:33:26.970 --> 01:33:31.290
+is that say what you have to say get out unless whom.
+
+01:33:31.290 --> 01:33:36.030
+You're playing games on a plane those games and that and, I'm not playing games
+
+01:33:36.030 --> 01:33:39.810
+...say something go ahead and vote.
+
+01:33:39.810 --> 01:33:44.920
+Well, ...this is really important in here and I enjoy
+
+01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:53.530
+listening to everyone but I do want to say what I want to say.
+
+01:33:53.530 --> 01:33:53.970
+Again,
+
+01:33:53.970 --> 01:34:03.170
+and, pocket this would include everything that's in the managers.
+
+01:34:03.170 --> 01:34:03.950
+Okay,
+
+01:34:03.950 --> 01:34:11.800
+so, it would include pre k it...the teachers...
+
+01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:17.020
+this was justwhen we had our straw vote last week?
+
+01:34:17.020 --> 01:34:22.100
+And, the...the unofficial vote and commission pocket was not fair he had a death
+
+01:34:22.100 --> 01:34:25.610
+in his family commissioner james was not there because he had been
+
+01:34:25.610 --> 01:34:32.870
+in the hospital their and, it's a he called james going.
+
+01:34:32.870 --> 01:34:39.030
+Peeking...during...the...
+
+01:34:39.030 --> 01:34:41.060
+And, we it was.
+
+01:34:41.060 --> 01:34:44.440
+It was that was an upsetting day we...a roller coaster...we all
+
+01:34:44.440 --> 01:34:49.630
+care passionately about the services we provide we all look at
+
+01:34:49.630 --> 01:34:54.460
+...all have different starting points and we look at things of from different points of view and
+
+01:34:54.460 --> 01:34:57.880
+that's a good thing if we were all talking the same they
+
+01:34:57.880 --> 01:35:00.740
+...someone's not necessary so it's good that we have
+
+01:35:00.740 --> 01:35:05.410
+some different ideas just like a commissioner ryan how are had a good idea about the
+
+01:35:05.410 --> 01:35:11.630
+...salaries when I village I felt like?
+
+01:35:11.630 --> 01:35:16.260
+We had a I often say you have to work harder
+
+01:35:16.260 --> 01:35:21.010
+when people say we can't do this we can't do...work harder?
+
+01:35:21.010 --> 01:35:25.160
+Work harder and when I'm when I was at that meeting I felt like we needed
+
+01:35:25.160 --> 01:35:28.540
+to work harder and I felt like we
+
+01:35:28.540 --> 01:35:32.670
+what we didn't have all of our diverse opinions there that day
+
+01:35:32.670 --> 01:35:38.790
+I wasn't happy I don't think any of us were happy with everything that's in the budget?
+
+01:35:38.790 --> 01:35:44.550
+But, nevertheless we have a budget I thought this was a good idea I was very
+
+01:35:44.550 --> 01:35:49.380
+interested and I was grateful that we were able to eliminate part of the
+
+01:35:49.380 --> 01:35:54.620
+tax from...eisenhower's idea and I thought
+
+01:35:54.620 --> 01:36:00.190
+wow if we could eliminate the last part of the...we would have,
+
+01:36:00.190 --> 01:36:05.080
+you know, a great budget that does a lot for the schools in the department social
+
+01:36:05.080 --> 01:36:09.830
+services that does a lot for parks and gives raises and I thought
+
+01:36:09.830 --> 01:36:14.800
+and then we wouldn't have that tax because we are going next
+
+01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:18.440
+year all of us and I'm worried about it myself
+
+01:36:18.440 --> 01:36:25.130
+...chair... is rude to not be paying attention...another colleague
+
+01:36:25.130 --> 01:36:30.360
+...right of night that's...
+
+01:36:30.360 --> 01:36:36.120
+...here ...chicago okay...you next...
+
+01:36:36.120 --> 01:36:41.930
+...online ...property values are going to go up and I mean I'm worried about I'm already thinking of
+
+01:36:41.930 --> 01:36:45.450
+hunt you about it and how am I going to tighten my
+
+01:36:45.450 --> 01:36:50.660
+belt to make that extra payment and I worry about our rents are rents
+
+01:36:50.660 --> 01:36:56.560
+are going sky-rocket and I worry about that a lot of senior citizens who
+
+01:36:56.560 --> 01:37:01.540
+run limited incomes I'm worried about them I'm worried about a lot of things
+
+01:37:02.680 --> 01:37:07.080
+a lot of this one percent, you know, a lot of people say I can afford
+
+01:37:07.080 --> 01:37:11.960
+...that much well to a lot of people...is a lot is the difference between
+
+01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:16.630
+there get their medicine or they don't it's a difference between they're having food on
+
+01:37:16.630 --> 01:37:21.500
+the table is have locked so I thought?
+
+01:37:21.500 --> 01:37:27.830
+...I thought that if we could get everything we wanted and,
+
+01:37:27.830 --> 01:37:32.120
+we wouldn't have to pay that extra taxes that would be well-received but,
+
+01:37:32.120 --> 01:37:35.130
+instead tonight I've heard a lot of fear
+
+01:37:35.130 --> 01:37:40.610
+monitoring and scare tactics we do a budget every year so
+
+01:37:40.610 --> 01:37:44.270
+...I'm troubled that commissioner fuller.
+
+01:37:45.410 --> 01:37:49.440
+You...talked about...this is going to hurt pre k for over, you know,
+
+01:37:49.440 --> 01:37:54.740
+over the years well we're going to do this again next year so if we didn't do
+
+01:37:54.740 --> 01:38:00.230
+this tax increase...it didn't work out for some reason we could always do something
+
+01:38:00.230 --> 01:38:05.010
+next year but I just think it would be good to try it would be good to work a little
+
+01:38:05.010 --> 01:38:10.270
+harder we have a manager in it who has the highest financial
+
+01:38:10.270 --> 01:38:15.490
+skills and expertise she does and we have budget
+
+01:38:15.490 --> 01:38:22.330
+director we have an ace finance group most of whom are women I might but,
+
+01:38:22.330 --> 01:38:27.220
+we have...people who work for the county and ...was all due respect mr
+
+01:38:27.220 --> 01:38:30.800
+...our I think we have people that know a
+
+01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:35.740
+whole lot more than us you did a great job but I think that there's
+
+01:38:35.740 --> 01:38:40.860
+...am fully confident that they could find a few extra million dollars
+
+01:38:40.860 --> 01:38:44.160
+...sounds like a lot when your budget is that big in proportion
+
+01:38:44.160 --> 01:38:49.390
+it's still very small and I think we should try and I'm going to support
+
+01:38:49.390 --> 01:38:54.190
+this because I think that it gives us everything we want and it takes
+
+01:38:54.190 --> 01:38:59.000
+away that extra that extra tax and that gives the teachers a
+
+01:38:59.000 --> 01:39:04.000
+little extra money because otherwise we give them money...we take a little bit back so I don't want to
+
+01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:11.310
+take it back and I think that I've heard too much scare tactics and fear
+
+01:39:11.310 --> 01:39:15.620
+among green here and I mean we do this every year so we can always
+
+01:39:15.620 --> 01:39:20.570
+make adjustments next year and we I continue to get questions about our fun balance
+
+01:39:20.570 --> 01:39:24.330
+his huge is way more than we need however we
+
+01:39:24.330 --> 01:39:28.960
+are being careful and cautious because we don't know what rallies going to do so we have to be
+
+01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:34.060
+prepared but really we have a lot of funds and we have brilliant people
+
+01:39:34.060 --> 01:39:38.300
+at the county and I think that they can they can do this, you know, and,
+
+01:39:38.300 --> 01:39:43.180
+a lot of ways it's more the principle...thing it's it just shows that
+
+01:39:43.180 --> 01:39:47.840
+act that there were we worked a little harder we're going to work harder for
+
+01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:52.700
+you and that's the way I look at it and I don't think of it is
+
+01:39:52.700 --> 01:39:58.590
+put us in jeopardy I don't because we're going to do this again next year in the year after and,
+
+01:39:58.590 --> 01:40:02.940
+I think it's I think it's a positive thing and
+
+01:40:02.940 --> 01:40:08.320
+I am going to support this and you know, I hope that.
+
+01:40:08.320 --> 01:40:10.840
+You know,...we can think outside the box a little bit and
+
+01:40:10.840 --> 01:40:15.200
+in workable harder for our people and not just say that the first thing we
+
+01:40:15.200 --> 01:40:19.790
+gotta do is tax so that's where I stand thank you for
+
+01:40:19.790 --> 01:40:27.700
+...me speak...on you...clark and let me-let me.
+
+01:40:27.700 --> 01:40:32.760
+One of the we have a code of ethics one of the things that are code of ethics says is that we're not
+
+01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:39.900
+...to question each other's motives in what we do I violated that many times
+
+01:40:41.550 --> 01:40:45.620
+Everyone up here has...but I, you know, just to remind you that is part of
+
+01:40:45.620 --> 01:40:52.550
+a code of ethics I was struck by ...you sort of question whether, you know,
+
+01:40:52.550 --> 01:40:57.300
+people who work on a supporters motion we're doing so just because the person making the
+
+01:40:57.300 --> 01:41:03.840
+motion was a member of the other political party and, actually.
+
+01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:08.840
+It's...ironic the reason I'm opposing this is because
+
+01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:15.010
+over my years of service on this board eighteen my republican
+
+01:41:15.010 --> 01:41:19.740
+colleagues have convinced me that appropriate
+
+01:41:19.740 --> 01:41:24.740
+in fun balance for ongoing operating expense is a bad
+
+01:41:24.740 --> 01:41:30.350
+way to do business and I have accepted that can and,
+
+01:41:30.350 --> 01:41:36.540
+I've learned from that...I just want you to understand that that's.
+
+01:41:36.540 --> 01:41:41.720
+Primary reason that I...motion the other is because it
+
+01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:46.090
+...you know, hey, manager if you can't find the money somewhere else go ahead
+
+01:41:46.090 --> 01:41:49.220
+and just appropriate fun balance for an operating expenditure
+
+01:41:49.220 --> 01:41:54.310
+...we've gone from technically violating the fund the policy of this board
+
+01:41:54.310 --> 01:41:58.730
+...to violating quote the spirit them into just bull
+
+01:41:58.730 --> 01:42:04.180
+weight in violation of it is by my republican colleagues to convince me that this
+
+01:42:04.180 --> 01:42:08.850
+policy...the right thing to do and I?
+
+01:42:08.850 --> 01:42:11.420
+I swallowed hook line and thinker and,
+
+01:42:11.420 --> 01:42:14.750
+I and I just half point data
+
+01:42:14.750 --> 01:42:19.220
+...the other reason I'm going to oppose it is because it's so
+
+01:42:19.220 --> 01:42:23.230
+open-ended I have one I approve a budget I prove this budget
+
+01:42:23.230 --> 01:42:25.580
+...manager recommended that we voted on the straw
+
+01:42:25.580 --> 01:42:28.720
+...session last time I know.
+
+01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:33.400
+What's being funded and I know what's not his motion is sort of
+
+01:42:33.400 --> 01:42:37.520
+give the county manager the discretion just cut
+
+01:42:37.520 --> 01:42:42.320
+whatever she thinks, you know, what she thinks is fatter do something different I
+
+01:42:42.320 --> 01:42:47.870
+don't have a clue as an elected official, you know, what she's going to do and,
+
+01:42:47.870 --> 01:42:54.110
+then he saying well if you can't do it just get the rest of unbalance and,
+
+01:42:54.110 --> 01:42:59.440
+I just don't think I don't want to give our manager I have the greatest respect
+
+01:42:59.440 --> 01:43:05.060
+for abilities but my job is to see...budgets in a budget, you know,
+
+01:43:05.060 --> 01:43:09.640
+which there no...voting on and vote for it one quick word
+
+01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:14.350
+about our evaluation next year what you said and I think there's
+
+01:43:14.350 --> 01:43:19.230
+some fifth commissioner...writers and fear monitoring going on here you
+
+01:43:19.230 --> 01:43:24.170
+are on average properties are going to increase significantly and met convert
+
+01:43:24.170 --> 01:43:28.510
+...that's on average some will increase by
+
+01:43:28.510 --> 01:43:33.180
+a couple hundred percentage points they're probably going to be unlike norman and they may be down
+
+01:43:33.180 --> 01:43:39.200
+...and, matthews and...in your district five where you work and,
+
+01:43:39.200 --> 01:43:42.630
+other parts of the city they may be a ten percent increase
+
+01:43:42.630 --> 01:43:47.550
+...twenty percent increase and when the tax rate is adjusted some people may actually see the
+
+01:43:47.550 --> 01:43:51.440
+...an actual taxes they pay and,
+
+01:43:51.440 --> 01:43:56.510
+the whole purpose of re valuation is to make sure that the property taxes
+
+01:43:57.590 --> 01:44:02.050
+That if we're going to tax people on the value their property that they're that
+
+01:44:02.050 --> 01:44:07.550
+the that the assessed value reflects fair market value so,
+
+01:44:07.550 --> 01:44:09.600
+when you talk about how it's inevitable
+
+01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:14.710
+that everybody's taxes are going to go up next year that is not necessarily case depends upon what the
+
+01:44:14.710 --> 01:44:19.170
+rate of increases and value your property as opposed to somebody
+
+01:44:19.170 --> 01:44:23.350
+else is and it depends upon what property tax rate this board
+
+01:44:23.350 --> 01:44:29.660
+decides to set whether it's revenue neutral weather's bug whether below so,
+
+01:44:29.660 --> 01:44:36.060
+it really is a lot of unknowns but one thing for sure is that business about average
+
+01:44:36.060 --> 01:44:40.730
+...is you know, some people going to go up a lot more than others...I've
+
+01:44:40.730 --> 01:44:48.290
+...I'm going to say I'm done manager called question...been call?
+
+01:44:48.290 --> 01:44:52.810
+James hasn't spoken yet and I have a second chance but the question has been
+
+01:44:52.810 --> 01:44:57.250
+cold and rather...let us vote on the...
+
+01:44:58.360 --> 01:45:03.530
+And,...each of them...in...meaning harm and I'm trying to
+
+01:45:03.530 --> 01:45:08.070
+...the question has been colder our
+
+01:45:08.070 --> 01:45:12.650
+ask you to vote that up on them and then if the if it doesn't
+
+01:45:12.650 --> 01:45:18.600
+...we wouldn't go ...you didn't go to the to the main motion
+
+01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:22.900
+may motions somy question...of
+
+01:45:22.900 --> 01:45:30.930
+...it and it the question a little phone moi I think it's
+
+01:45:30.930 --> 01:45:37.360
+I think it's fair to say what I'm going to say and while I would love to call the question.
+
+01:45:37.360 --> 01:45:41.980
+This board has always been respectful of people who are going to
+
+01:45:41.980 --> 01:45:43.070
+speak.
+
+01:45:43.070 --> 01:45:46.500
+As long as it is in accordance to
+
+01:45:46.500 --> 01:45:49.310
+robert's rules of war so
+
+01:45:49.310 --> 01:45:54.270
+I understand there are two people who have not had their second change.
+
+01:45:54.270 --> 01:45:57.610
+Let them have their second chance and let
+
+01:45:57.610 --> 01:46:00.480
+called the question but I think if you do it
+
+01:46:00.480 --> 01:46:04.840
+...people one-time they on inevitably do...human so let's
+
+01:46:06.030 --> 01:46:11.590
+...rules that let me in reference to what I have here second
+
+01:46:11.590 --> 01:46:14.760
+speakers the only person that I have to have not
+
+01:46:14.760 --> 01:46:21.710
+...the second time on...it says and,
+
+01:46:28.050 --> 01:46:29.940
+Thank you help-desk you...
+
+01:46:29.940 --> 01:46:38.120
+women based on what I'm hearing...ask mrs jane because the commission.
+
+01:46:38.120 --> 01:46:41.210
+On who's...for towns...
+
+01:46:42.890 --> 01:46:46.520
+...with...open for thomas.
+
+01:46:46.520 --> 01:46:50.520
+...question let me-let positions james speak
+
+01:46:50.520 --> 01:46:54.460
+...make a decision and this is going to vote earlier
+
+01:46:54.460 --> 01:46:59.710
+...on...plane, you know, one is...I don't
+
+01:46:59.710 --> 01:47:02.460
+think I'm quite well for this to be as.
+
+01:47:04.980 --> 01:47:08.380
+Excuse inverse.
+
+01:47:08.380 --> 01:47:10.610
+...okay.
+
+01:47:10.610 --> 01:47:12.130
+I have not spoken...
+
+01:47:13.520 --> 01:47:20.470
+Having spoken at all and this...this distant...
+
+01:47:20.470 --> 01:47:22.570
+I get everybody's point.
+
+01:47:23.690 --> 01:47:26.770
+And, I agree that it's unusual to.
+
+01:47:27.790 --> 01:47:33.020
+Take...salaries and think on balance.
+
+01:47:33.020 --> 01:47:35.540
+I think that for many of us.
+
+01:47:39.740 --> 01:47:44.500
+Reports coming out of the evaluation so stark.
+
+01:47:44.500 --> 01:47:50.270
+And, the problems we had...twenty eleven were so bad...we believe
+
+01:47:50.270 --> 01:47:51.940
+that...will.
+
+01:47:54.020 --> 01:47:57.770
+Rebels have tax increases two years in a row point
+
+01:47:57.770 --> 01:48:04.080
+some five now and who knows what next year so?
+
+01:48:04.080 --> 01:48:08.050
+No, disrespect anybody not trying to cut pre k or cut
+
+01:48:08.050 --> 01:48:12.930
+schools or anything like that we were just looking at this.
+
+01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:16.920
+I think is more of a...you know,
+
+01:48:16.920 --> 01:48:21.340
+the debate between republicans and democrats is usually over what...the fun pre
+
+01:48:21.340 --> 01:48:26.980
+katie a fun schools and how much and all that this isn't about that?
+
+01:48:26.980 --> 01:48:28.930
+This debate is about.
+
+01:48:29.950 --> 01:48:33.630
+Should we funded with a tax increase or something...
+
+01:48:34.930 --> 01:48:39.320
+Defines something else as asking the manager to come back and see if you-can
+
+01:48:39.320 --> 01:48:45.690
+find savings now the budget we're going to adopt either way whether under
+
+01:48:45.690 --> 01:48:48.720
+Trouble I guess either of those motions
+
+01:48:48.720 --> 01:48:55.530
+creates a one point seven billion dollar budget process.
+
+01:48:55.530 --> 01:48:58.520
+The difference between the first budget and the second
+
+01:48:58.520 --> 01:49:02.350
+point to substitute versus the original a mouse...the ten
+
+01:49:02.350 --> 01:49:07.170
+million dollars approximately that represents the tax increase so you're talking about
+
+01:49:07.170 --> 01:49:11.850
+trying to save ten million out of one-point-seven billion.
+
+01:49:11.850 --> 01:49:18.050
+Which is...about point six percent point five something, something percent?
+
+01:49:18.050 --> 01:49:23.460
+Now most people would say if you...find point five percent and your budget you probably could you could
+
+01:49:23.460 --> 01:49:25.420
+...it here they're.
+
+01:49:25.420 --> 01:49:28.190
+You know, you just you're going out bill, you know,
+
+01:49:28.190 --> 01:49:32.410
+when you go out to dinner if your cable bill I mean who knows point
+
+01:49:32.410 --> 01:49:37.210
+five is fairly small adjustment to a very huge?
+
+01:49:37.210 --> 01:49:44.090
+Budget but I recognized point that as commission clark said
+
+01:49:44.090 --> 01:49:47.260
+...taking money from one balance or.
+
+01:49:47.260 --> 01:49:52.840
+Other technical issues I think it's people...quality.
+
+01:49:52.840 --> 01:49:58.040
+In a perfect world it's better not to do that so,
+
+01:49:58.040 --> 01:50:01.680
+I think the republican approach to doing this.
+
+01:50:01.680 --> 01:50:06.680
+We see it as a compromise we see it as saying well
+
+01:50:06.680 --> 01:50:11.520
+okay we agree funding pre k funding...and all that.
+
+01:50:11.520 --> 01:50:13.970
+But, perhaps we could come up with the ten
+
+01:50:13.970 --> 01:50:20.280
+million and try to close the gap that's pretty much really all it is.
+
+01:50:20.280 --> 01:50:21.140
+And, frankly.
+
+01:50:22.410 --> 01:50:27.240
+I think that we got the idea from the motion you guys just
+
+01:50:27.240 --> 01:50:31.940
+passed, you know, fourteen forty seven I...everybody but the
+
+01:50:31.940 --> 01:50:38.560
+mock voted to take laps all thisso, the question is.
+
+01:50:39.610 --> 01:50:44.180
+So, again, it's the same idea you take six
+
+01:50:44.180 --> 01:50:47.960
+eight four nine one four laps...in order to
+
+01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:52.530
+upon pre k compromise as opposed to a tax increase.
+
+01:50:52.530 --> 01:50:57.100
+You ask the manager come up with ten million and come back with this and leave the tax rate
+
+01:50:58.710 --> 01:51:01.760
+...compromise.
+
+01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:05.680
+So, it it's not that I think...
+
+01:51:06.770 --> 01:51:09.550
+Not everybody is going to agree with that.
+
+01:51:09.550 --> 01:51:13.350
+But, I don't think there was any...will.
+
+01:51:13.350 --> 01:51:17.440
+Now if I could find a different way to do it without taking without doing
+
+01:51:17.440 --> 01:51:23.570
+this I would do if I could find a way to balance the budget without...machinations but
+
+01:51:24.920 --> 01:51:28.580
+...had a troubled and we had our debate so,
+
+01:51:28.580 --> 01:51:31.780
+you know, if this is an attempt to try to keep the
+
+01:51:31.780 --> 01:51:37.090
+counting from having tax increases back-to-back.
+
+01:51:37.090 --> 01:51:39.270
+I don't know what the increase is going to be next
+
+01:51:39.270 --> 01:51:43.820
+year on average but the report says forty percent.
+
+01:51:43.820 --> 01:51:47.960
+Average increase in housing prices.
+
+01:51:47.960 --> 01:51:52.870
+So, we have to drop the tax rate forty percent next year.
+
+01:51:52.870 --> 01:51:57.980
+To stay even approximately.
+
+01:51:57.980 --> 01:51:59.860
+You know,...have my...
+
+01:52:02.180 --> 01:52:07.480
+That this board is going to drop the tax rate to offset the massive increase that people are
+
+01:52:07.480 --> 01:52:08.760
+going to face.
+
+01:52:08.760 --> 01:52:11.020
+And, that concerns me and...heard
+
+01:52:11.020 --> 01:52:16.010
+commissioner kaufman others say the same thing so my only point is
+
+01:52:16.010 --> 01:52:20.620
+...voting for the substitute I think is an earnest effort to reach a compromise
+
+01:52:20.620 --> 01:52:25.640
+and just the same way that the previous budget amendment was awful compromise it
+
+01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:30.610
+is imperfect is not the best solution to the problem
+
+01:52:30.610 --> 01:52:35.540
+but it's the best solution in the amount of time with the issues that we have.
+
+01:52:35.540 --> 01:52:40.440
+And, that's about as much energy as I can say on this
+
+01:52:50.780 --> 01:52:55.350
+...you after...no one's contact me I am personally
+
+01:52:55.350 --> 01:53:00.340
+calling for the...have not had my second chance...do the...
+
+01:53:00.340 --> 01:53:01.180
+...with it
+
+01:53:01.180 --> 01:53:05.960
+...I would appreciate the...and have not had it's like an opportunity to speak?
+
+01:53:05.960 --> 01:53:13.180
+And,...asking...come out of jail was mother...going through...
+
+01:53:13.180 --> 01:53:18.340
+Let me speak million I am really...the attorney right now opportunities for
+
+01:53:18.340 --> 01:53:23.170
+everyone have an opportunity to speak you can get up to two times
+
+01:53:23.170 --> 01:53:28.040
+and debate it people have an opportunity to express their particular concert...
+
+01:53:28.040 --> 01:53:29.870
+had...have not...
+
+01:53:34.750 --> 01:53:37.690
+Ok, so, here's what we want to do I'm going to take them
+
+01:53:37.690 --> 01:53:41.920
+...names of the people who still have not spoken the second time.
+
+01:53:41.920 --> 01:53:45.340
+And, once those people...spoken we shall.
+
+01:53:45.340 --> 01:53:49.610
+Now who...it...pocket.
+
+01:53:49.610 --> 01:53:51.380
+And, cocker.
+
+01:53:51.380 --> 01:53:55.590
+...and that's your that's what man make a suggestion you take down the names of
+
+01:53:55.590 --> 01:54:00.980
+people who have not spoken twice who wish to speak again...thank...speak
+
+01:54:00.980 --> 01:54:03.990
+again and have two people as?
+
+01:54:10.480 --> 01:54:15.850
+It's not going to change anythingit really did not change anything you really the
+
+01:54:17.400 --> 01:54:21.810
+I want to address something that commissioner said it'll take me thirty seconds so same way
+
+01:54:21.810 --> 01:54:24.020
+...would be done by now okay you
+
+01:54:24.020 --> 01:54:28.090
+...of you the inverse.
+
+01:54:28.090 --> 01:54:31.290
+Ok, jam right now who has...this
+
+01:54:31.290 --> 01:54:34.600
+...the...who was to begin speaking of
+
+01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:37.260
+...these two women will recall corked of.
+
+01:54:38.330 --> 01:54:43.740
+Action you was...see what they're going to say I don't know I don't think so but unless
+
+01:54:43.740 --> 01:54:47.730
+he says something off the charts I might.
+
+01:54:47.730 --> 01:54:52.870
+So, the column space ok and, I understand this is taking a lot of time but
+
+01:54:52.870 --> 01:54:57.600
+this is what we do this that's the entire year so to say that we're
+
+01:54:57.600 --> 01:55:02.270
+not going to sit here and talk about the only feel bad that commissioner...morning to get home and
+
+01:55:03.380 --> 01:55:08.920
+...being here but to speed this along so that we can get to appointments.
+
+01:55:08.920 --> 01:55:09.490
+You're...
+
+01:55:09.490 --> 01:55:13.300
+me we have two motions that do exactly.
+
+01:55:14.390 --> 01:55:16.920
+The same thing in exactly.
+
+01:55:17.990 --> 01:55:27.400
+The same thing...the next...they do exactly the same thing.
+
+01:55:27.400 --> 01:55:32.280
+The only question is are we going to ask the taxpayers to pay more
+
+01:55:32.280 --> 01:55:34.500
+or we're going to ask the government...
+
+01:55:34.500 --> 01:55:39.090
+it within ourselves we're going to ask the taxpayers to cinch their belt.
+
+01:55:39.090 --> 01:55:42.190
+To give up their hamburger a month or we're going
+
+01:55:42.190 --> 01:55:44.780
+to say six tenths of one percent.
+
+01:55:46.000 --> 01:55:50.820
+Six tenth of one percent and what irritates me is
+
+01:55:50.820 --> 01:55:55.920
+how quickly help easy we say it's just a hamburger?
+
+01:55:55.920 --> 01:56:00.590
+The taxpayers we pay more it's just the hamburger and I go it's only six
+
+01:56:00.590 --> 01:56:04.380
+tenths of one percent but somehow.
+
+01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:08.880
+The county...screech to a halt.
+
+01:56:08.880 --> 01:56:13.130
+Funding will start for major programs.
+
+01:56:13.130 --> 01:56:17.890
+It's amazing to me that it's a little thing for a taxpayer and it's
+
+01:56:17.890 --> 01:56:22.980
+not it's a huge thing for the...both of these do exactly the
+
+01:56:22.980 --> 01:56:27.920
+same thing the question is who's going to pay for it who's
+
+01:56:27.920 --> 01:56:32.740
+going to see the pain is the taxpayer going to be the...the pain or
+
+01:56:32.740 --> 01:56:38.290
+...coney going to find ways to save money I find it interesting
+
+01:56:38.290 --> 01:56:44.330
+that we were able to find money for teachers out that's interesting and the very method
+
+01:56:44.330 --> 01:56:48.870
+that we did that we didn't do this I'm not saying take fun balance
+
+01:56:48.870 --> 01:56:54.300
+I'm saying the law only gives me two options the law
+
+01:56:54.300 --> 01:56:59.710
+also says either have to tell the manager...cuts.
+
+01:56:59.710 --> 01:57:02.080
+And, vote them all up and down.
+
+01:57:02.080 --> 01:57:05.580
+Or tell her to use...balance.
+
+01:57:06.750 --> 01:57:09.560
+And, hopefully she can find cuts.
+
+01:57:09.560 --> 01:57:13.470
+And, I am completely confident she can't because I have watched
+
+01:57:13.470 --> 01:57:21.880
+huge amounts of money appear out of nowhere but somehow we can come up with ten million dollars.
+
+01:57:21.880 --> 01:57:26.600
+We came up with a hundred-million-dollars for major league soccer but we can't find ten million dollars for
+
+01:57:26.600 --> 01:57:33.490
+free we came up with thirty two...from memorial stadium we can't find ten million
+
+01:57:33.490 --> 01:57:37.430
+No,...it is ultimately the same because it all comes from taxpayers
+
+01:57:37.430 --> 01:57:41.440
+is different phone balances I understand.
+
+01:57:41.440 --> 01:57:46.200
+I can transform back and forth of a half...so again,
+
+01:57:46.200 --> 01:57:49.540
+this is simply a matter of I am saying let's
+
+01:57:49.540 --> 01:57:54.260
+find everything in the budget but the none of us and our staff
+
+01:57:54.260 --> 01:57:59.210
+...paying as were elected to do instead of putting the pain on the
+
+01:57:59.210 --> 01:58:03.590
+taxpayer we can do everywhere and next year will be a whole
+
+01:58:03.590 --> 01:58:07.970
+other budget and next year's evaluation are going to hurt people who've never been
+
+01:58:07.970 --> 01:58:09.950
+hurt before if you live.
+
+01:58:11.110 --> 01:58:12.690
+In an area that's been...
+
+01:58:13.910 --> 01:58:17.850
+You will know what it means next year when your property value
+
+01:58:17.850 --> 01:58:21.120
+...forty percent it's not just...be lake norman in
+
+01:58:21.120 --> 01:58:25.940
+...valentine and those people can afford it's going to be the folks in the
+
+01:58:25.940 --> 01:58:33.000
+inner-city circle whose own property that's going to see a huge increase thank you that's
+
+01:58:33.000 --> 01:58:35.070
+...vision right now as.
+
+01:58:36.600 --> 01:58:41.020
+...so as one address of the...had mentioned and,
+
+01:58:41.020 --> 01:58:45.510
+commissioner pocket actually just took the words of a mouth there...with his closing remarks
+
+01:58:46.940 --> 01:58:52.060
+...said...the next year evaluation property...going to go up and yet how you hit
+
+01:58:52.060 --> 01:58:56.260
+your district which...valentine lake norman what
+
+01:58:56.260 --> 01:59:01.010
+is phrases like that it sounds like okay they're just worry about tax increase because, you know,
+
+01:59:01.010 --> 01:59:03.770
+the more affluent areas of town are worried about how much
+
+01:59:03.770 --> 01:59:08.630
+their property taxes going to jump next year well I know my property value is today versus two
+
+01:59:08.630 --> 01:59:12.910
+thousand and one there abouts it's gone up quite a bit no doubt but it
+
+01:59:12.910 --> 01:59:19.100
+hasn't come it hasn't doubled it has the feeling to be our but,
+
+01:59:19.100 --> 01:59:23.520
+it hasn't gone up nearly as high as quickly as some of the areas
+
+01:59:23.520 --> 01:59:28.490
+...the town so the areas that...is point about there being identified and here this...reach
+
+01:59:28.490 --> 01:59:32.530
+...agenda magazine so...hot neighborhoods...next hot neighborhoods the belmont
+
+01:59:32.530 --> 01:59:37.570
+the villa heights degree heights are being bought by a lot of develop investors
+
+01:59:37.570 --> 01:59:42.820
+the cherry juice last night's the city council approved...free
+
+01:59:42.820 --> 01:59:47.750
+a twenty-some storey hotel right there in cherry
+
+01:59:47.750 --> 01:59:52.420
+...mixed-use all around and all that sort of stuff that's going to drive a property values so that's going to
+
+01:59:52.420 --> 01:59:56.810
+be a substantial will more there's a great example each I buy house and
+
+01:59:56.810 --> 02:00:02.520
+we'll more few years ago...hundred-and-some thousand other going for close to four thousand dollars so,
+
+02:00:02.520 --> 02:00:06.740
+yeah, sure,...norman in balance sign in...parking areas like that
+
+02:00:06.740 --> 02:00:11.470
+will see a tax increase I'm sure of it or value increase will hold
+
+02:00:11.470 --> 02:00:14.390
+the tax increase you know, for next year but
+
+02:00:14.390 --> 02:00:19.090
+...will see a substantial evaluation increase but it's some of those other neighborhoods that
+
+02:00:19.090 --> 02:00:23.600
+are closer to town where people are trying to have walkable communities and they and mixed-use
+
+02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:28.610
+development them and...the green ways and all that three of them entities a community
+
+02:00:28.610 --> 02:00:33.020
+those are the areas where I think we're really can be seen substantial tax increases so
+
+02:00:33.020 --> 02:00:37.800
+now it's not a bunch of folks up here trying to just stave off a tax increase because they're,
+
+02:00:37.800 --> 02:00:42.630
+they're worried about their...park, you know, home...going up...not where I live but,
+
+02:00:42.630 --> 02:00:47.930
+no, I mean it's from a genuine concern for the community overall and what
+
+02:00:47.930 --> 02:00:53.110
+a tax increase this year and thenevaluation on top of that next year what that could
+
+02:00:53.110 --> 02:00:58.240
+mean for everybody in the community anyway thank you for the second opportunity to speak okay all
+
+02:01:00.680 --> 02:01:04.840
+...you repeat...the...make sure that we get
+
+02:01:10.190 --> 02:01:14.040
+...rate of...
+
+02:01:14.040 --> 02:01:18.700
+And,...reading terrorism...
+
+02:01:18.700 --> 02:01:21.910
+...no...
+
+02:01:21.910 --> 02:01:26.370
+The whole...of the...of everything and not pleasures
+
+02:01:26.370 --> 02:01:30.360
+again...is to adopt the budget as outlined
+
+02:01:30.360 --> 02:01:33.660

+But, the fund with the current tax rate and direct
+
+02:01:38.720 --> 02:01:42.130
+...county manager to seek savings within general operations over the
+
+02:01:42.130 --> 02:01:47.120
+next fiscal year to cover the cost and further direct manager to access
+
+02:01:47.120 --> 02:01:52.010
+the fun balance in the event she isn't able to cover define reductions redirect
+
+02:01:52.010 --> 02:01:56.050

+All right manager thank you for this opportunity I just want to
+
+02:03:43.080 --> 02:03:47.980
+say because I think this is a momentous moment it passed by so quickly.
+
+02:03:47.980 --> 02:03:51.560
+But, this is been a momentous moment.
+
+02:03:51.560 --> 02:03:54.700
+We have just passed a...
+
+02:03:54.700 --> 02:03:59.360
+That has many good things in it and.
+
+02:03:59.360 --> 02:04:04.470
+If our budgets reflect our priorities we have some pretty
+
+02:04:04.470 --> 02:04:06.840
+darned good priorities and choices that
+
+02:04:06.840 --> 02:04:12.180
+we've made in this budget and I just want the public to understand what.
+
+02:04:12.180 --> 02:04:17.800
+At the top of the list of what we have just done.
+
+02:04:17.800 --> 02:04:23.690
+Is we are taking our first major step to bring a
+
+02:04:23.690 --> 02:04:27.550
+universal pre k...mecca merck county?
+
+02:04:28.610 --> 02:04:31.640
+So, that all of our children.
+
+02:04:31.640 --> 02:04:33.810
+No, matter their economic condition.
+
+02:04:34.970 --> 02:04:36.360
+Will have a
+
+02:04:36.360 --> 02:04:42.840
+quality early childhood education in mecca merck county?
+
+02:04:42.840 --> 02:04:47.400
+You know, we started on this journey nearly three years ago when I
+
+02:04:47.400 --> 02:04:51.830
+was serving is chair of this board at that time many said that this couldn't be
+
+02:04:51.830 --> 02:04:53.880
+...it's too expensive
+
+02:04:53.880 --> 02:05:01.070
+we can't do universal pre k it's just the vanity project.
+
+02:05:01.070 --> 02:05:04.560
+But, today we have shown.
+
+02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:10.560
+Once again that we can do big things in...county.
+
+02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:15.430
+Once again we've shown we are act can do community when we put our minds
+
+02:05:15.430 --> 02:05:19.040
+to do something we get it done.
+
+02:05:19.040 --> 02:05:23.970
+And, that's what we are celebrating here today now
+
+02:05:23.970 --> 02:05:27.080
+we'll take some time for us to complete this project so the first step that
+
+02:05:27.080 --> 02:05:30.350
+we're taking today is a big step
+
+02:05:30.350 --> 02:05:34.800
+so over a hundred kids who today.
+
+02:05:34.800 --> 02:05:38.510
+Are not in any pre k setting?
+
+02:05:38.510 --> 02:05:43.150
+By the end of this year will be in a pre case sending.
+
+02:05:43.150 --> 02:05:45.060
+Over a hundred kids.
+
+02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:48.730
+This is tremendous
+
+02:05:49.790 --> 02:05:54.360
+...tremendous and as I've said often people watch what we do
+
+02:05:54.360 --> 02:05:58.240
+a member county so we're setting a standard.
+
+02:05:58.240 --> 02:06:01.540
+We are saying it is important that our children
+
+02:06:01.540 --> 02:06:07.050
+are ready for kindergarten and we know that the path to that is a
+
+02:06:07.050 --> 02:06:12.050
+quality early childhood education we also know that at
+
+02:06:12.050 --> 02:06:15.830
+a time when only thirty nine percent of our third-graders are reading at
+
+02:06:15.830 --> 02:06:21.800
+grade level that many of those children have not had the benefit of
+
+02:06:21.800 --> 02:06:25.750
+equality early childhood education and what we are saying
+
+02:06:25.750 --> 02:06:28.720
+that this budget with this vote?
+
+02:06:29.830 --> 02:06:32.580
+That we are taking a big step
+
+02:06:32.580 --> 02:06:36.960
+to make sure that every single one of our children will have
+
+02:06:36.960 --> 02:06:42.340
+equality early childhood education thank you sir I can't.
+
+02:06:43.370 --> 02:06:46.820
+Too much about that.
+
+02:06:50.320 --> 02:06:55.240
+They laughed when I first made this proposal and here we are come to the
+
+02:06:55.240 --> 02:06:59.790
+so we need to call the question because we're...much there's no question
+
+02:06:59.790 --> 02:07:04.870
+...I was able to finish speaking I think that's only appropriate manager yes sir
+
+02:07:04.870 --> 02:07:10.500
+and, not like it but I'd like to finish what I'm saying would you envisioned in a
+
+02:07:10.500 --> 02:07:14.050
+minute you can otherwise on-call...
+
+02:07:14.050 --> 02:07:16.900
+Manager I think that others have had an opportunity say
+
+02:07:16.900 --> 02:07:23.950
+their full peace I don't see why I shouldn't be able to because this...home really.
+
+02:07:23.950 --> 02:07:25.620
+...them with the family
+
+02:07:25.620 --> 02:07:29.770
+...our audience have been hip on them they are
+
+02:07:29.770 --> 02:07:33.700
+not complying and that is not every day.
+
+02:07:33.700 --> 02:07:36.230
+...we do something like.
+
+02:07:38.280 --> 02:07:42.320
+...hopeful that instead of.
+
+02:07:42.320 --> 02:07:49.720
+Rushing to get home that we acknowledge what we have done for our people.
+
+02:07:49.720 --> 02:07:52.290
+Acknowledge the hard work.
+
+02:07:52.290 --> 02:07:58.690
+That has been put in by many people to get to this point.
+
+02:07:58.690 --> 02:08:02.230
+People regard this as a simple matter.
+
+02:08:02.230 --> 02:08:04.230
+A lot of people worked hard.
+
+02:08:05.370 --> 02:08:08.080
+And, put their money where their mouths are.
+
+02:08:09.140 --> 02:08:12.480
+To make this happen.
+
+02:08:12.480 --> 02:08:17.460
+So, no, I don't want this moment to simply pass by I want to
+
+02:08:17.460 --> 02:08:21.630
+acknowledge the people who have worked hard to make this happen.
+
+02:08:21.630 --> 02:08:25.300
+...charlotte executive leadership council that put half a million
+
+02:08:25.300 --> 02:08:25.800
+dollars.
+
+02:08:26.830 --> 02:08:30.920

+02:08:51.770 --> 02:08:55.520
