Growth already assumed in a deficit. This is the Revenue Growth that helps us off set some of the other Cost Increases that you are not seeing, including g. P. H. Staff, you know, staffing Cost Increases thats man dated in m. O. U. S, salary infringe and other inflationary costs and then which gave us a target of of general fund reduction. What were doing with all the initiatives that we brought forward is a slightly lopsided balancing plan where were 28 million to the good in year one and 20 million until bad. If you look a fritz the twoyear perspective which we have done in previous years, were still overall to the good in terms of balancing but well be sort of looking at this sort of imbalance in the next week or two and well be hopefully bringing you something that is a little bit more a little bit more balanced in year two. Ok. Next up, we have an additional hearing where well complete our balancing plan and then will submit the budget to the mayor and controllers area on the 21st

Okay, commissioner, is there an impact on our budget in terms of the revised in terms what well do and will we receive any additional revenue based on that or not .
