Page 10 <br />1 can start talking about do we want to start asking the <br />2 different commissions to come and talk to us now over a <br />3 period of time? <br />4 I can tell you that in our correspondence <br />5 with Finance, they tell us the budget is going to be <br />6 very, very, very -- I think those were the words I <br />7 got -- tight this year. They should have something -- <br />8 at least what the proposal for the mayor will be -- in <br />9 March, early March, and at that time we can see how <br />10 tight it's really going to be and how we want to <br />11 proceed. <br />12 What the Chair suggests is that we just start <br />13 through the process under the proposed schedule of <br />14 listening on the Police, Fire, and Liquor, Merit <br />15 Appeals Board, so on down through the list and take the <br />16 rest of the year doing that. <br />17 If there really are funds available and we <br />18 think there should be raises, we can make them <br />19 retroactive; or we cannot give any raises this year <br />20 and say they will be effective for 2020 and suggest <br />21 this is what it would be and how much money we would <br />22 suggest needs to be set aside in the 2020 budget by the <br />23 mayor. <br />24 So those are alternatives that we could use, <br />25 but I'll open it for discussion. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
