Good morning, commissioners happy new year im going to apologize for the fact that i just got back from two weeks of vacation and realize we didnt meet in december i wanted to start with a couple of announcements the first one is that cindy as you may know know from the institute on aging now with the department of aging Adult Services and started i think after ours is a last time we met i want to formally introduce cindy to everyone shes overseeing the Community Program side working with offense of aging, our dos intact our a long time go care operations and shell be a liaison with our folks that work with the longtime legislation stuff were happy im very, very happy to have cindy on board and sure youll be working closely with jill and cindy especially cindy she oversees our contract and report that michael who many of you this mike has brink presenting new director on office of aging he started in december i believe so again, after we met last time so we are getting those positions in place and looking forward to hiring a new director of Adult Services and the in take. I think that jason left before our last meeting he which is able to announce that at the last meeting we have a couple of even if positions to fill and were excited about it thats the first one the second thing is i was in dblgd an additional an at the aging our National Trend association for the triple a and the a agencies on aging so what a little bit people are uncertain about the future of some of our important programs so we talked about what the agenda for the completely around things li find out together a great letter i had brigitte send to you laying out an agenda for an administration that will be pro older adult pro aging and it is a well written document i want to share it with you im not sure i do i thought i sent it out in late december well send it out it will be great information for all of you and in december the mayors budget instructions youve probably read in the paper the Mayors Office is projecting a down turn in the economy in the next year weve been asked to cut back in our 2017 budget, 20172018 budget our cut for the agency is one . 5 million this year and one . 5 million on top of that; is that correct. Well be figuring out out how to meet the goal and the other thing not add a the fte obviously when the city starting thinking of a down turn in the coming years we dont want to add to the fte we can substitute positions but were accounting the details on the budget and have our Public Human Services coming on do you know what that is, i think on my calendar i apologize. I havent had a chance to look at that every year an event for the public where we talk through the budget process in highlevel that trends nicole will be the head of the office of early care and education those are the big things we are working on right now and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioner sims. Maybe a little bit early but would the budget reductions and the dignity fund coming in i know that was head count forever dignity fund we contemplated as part that have initially. Right. Is that protected head count in addition or a substitute within the constraint. When you say head count youre talking about the dollars. There was a position i thought an administrative responsibility. What we got in the budget an analyst position to work in the office of aging were trying to figure out how to use that a a position 2, 3, 4 planning okay. So we put a couple of positions theyre good for this year and other money to analyze you can doing a broader assessment how to you diving into certain populations that are how we address gaps how we analyze those gaps we are working on that and putting that together maybe i didnt mention in november most is organizing the dignity Fund Operations and the Management Level were trying to figure out we need someone that can pull all the people together so, yeah were also trying to figures out how the dignity Fund Spending will jive with our rest of what were doing and figuring out the overall budget it is ill have more information next month when we put it altogether. Thank you about the dignity fund and the budget do you know from the dignities fund can offset the budget cuts. The dignity fund will not offset those cuts necessarily it depends on where the cuts are what weve been able to do it figure out at an agency level not cutting programs and hoping well be able to do that like in the last couple of years with budget targets. Thank you. Is commissioner ow. You mentioned a cut of . Million is that the constitution. To the agency. Yeah. What is the total amount of city input for the this commission on aging. Would you think roughly. It depends on if youre talking about the entire budget. Im talking about the citys money is going into this dos. To dos. Right if youre talking about the entire budget entire budget in dos is 200 and 50 million. 200 and 15 million. Im going to have to get the actual amount. I dont need that only on the general fund city funds the mayor asked for a reduction of 1. 5 do i have that right. Right. I wanted one. 5 minus what roughly. Well that is 1. 5 out of the agencies entire budget. Not just dos. One and 60 million. Thats doss budget it is out of the entire citys budget includes the Human Services and the office of education i dont know what were talking about it is a little bit confusing sorry i can get the exact figures. Youll continue as update us. Well continue and commissioners when so let me know when the budget meeting will be it will be january 10th at 3 00 p. M. Is that going to be in boredom auditorium and well have all the pie charts that shows the breakdown of federal and state dollars you know you can see it laid out by programs and general fund versus everyone else that would be helpful if you make that meeting youll get all our questions answered there any other questions or comments.
