(to be provided) F inance Chairman Shachner provided the following report: “Since we have last been here, we have now had two budget hearings. We heard from the Law Department, the Mayor’s Office, Council’s Office, Public Safety, and had a CDBG / ESG allocations discussion. Really informative and not too verbose presentations. The one thing that I think stood out, at least to me, in Public Safety’s budget was that traffic citations were up 300% through the date of the meeting, which shows a commitment and really a focus on traffic enforcement. I know that is a big issue among a lot of our residents and quite frankly the majority of, at least my calls, are about traffic and speeding, so thank you again Chief Fischer for making that a priority. Tonight, we heard from the IT Division, The Human Services Department, and the Building and Housing Department. We are all excited about the 2024 Housing Survey that will be occurring next year in October. We also learned more about the commercial building survey, which is something the Council has been talking about for a while, so glad we got to it. Human Services, as always, does a lot more than could be fit into the presentation and we appreciate all the work they’re doing. I believe all our questions were answered, competently, and thank you for taking the time to put together those presentations and making yourself available for our questions.” Councilmember Shachner made a motion to receive and file the report, seconded by President Litten. All in favor, motion passed. P resident Litten then made a motion to suspend the rules and read items 6 through 22 concurrently, seconded by Vice President Kepple.
