Thank you, Mr. Clarke. The Chair recognizes Councilor Bach, chair of the Committee on City Services, Innovation Technology Council. You have the floor. Thank you so much, Mr. President. And I note for colleagues that you have a committee report filed with you, and we had a productive hearing yesterday here in the chamber. Thank you so much to Council President Flynn and also Councilor Murphy for joining me and to Councilor Lujan for sending a thoughtful letter. And we were joined by Chief Financial Officer and Collector Treasurer for the city, Justin Sterritt, Budget Director Jim Williamson and our Director of Labor Relations, Tammy. And they were here to testify on behalf of the administration. And so I want to thank central staff for getting us back into this. Now, the second one of these hybrid hearings where we've we've got all the mechanics of the in-person hearing and also the mechanics of the hybrid hearing. So shout out as ever to the folks behind the scenes making that happen, especially in this case, Michelle and Terry Duckett 0272 Transfers transfer funds from the collective bargaining reserve to various departments and to 73 authorizes the funding of the collective bargaining agreement between the City of Boston and Senate, which stands for the Salaried Employees of North America. As was recited in the docket by the clerk. We've reached an agreement from October one, 2020 to September 30th, 2023. It's for further background and for those who weren't able to make the hearing and I think many people know basically all of our bargaining units are out of contract right now. And Santa is one of the many that lapsed sort of a year and a half ago. And so the way that the city handles that financially is it sets a certain amount of money aside in this collective bargaining reserve, just sort of anticipating that we'll spend it once deals are reached. And that's what this appropriation today is is doing. It's taking 2 million out of that $10 million reserve because a deal has been reached. And that's to cover the amount of the deal that runs up through the 30th of June this year. Everything that's part of this contract that the city is obligated to after July 1st will be reflected in the proposed budget. So this is just for the balance of the contract period that's sort of already happened. And yeah, and so the main provisions of the contract are of the changes are that Juneteenth has been added for these employees as a holiday and that there are increases, incremental increases to salaries across the board, 2% for the first year, 1.5 for the second and 2% for the third. And this for it to even get to us. It's already been ratified by the union and been agreed to the table by both sides. And we heard good testimony about how sort of a balance between making sure that we're treating our city workers well and also that everything is within sort of the fiscally responsible remit of the city, especially since we have to balance so many of these. So with that. Mr. President, I would recommend that these 20272 and 0273 as read by the clerk pass today. Thank you. Thank you, Constable. We will now take these votes separately. Council.
