Item three Council Bill 120221 An ordinance amending ordinance 126237 which adopted the 2021 budget, including the 2021 through 2026 capital improvement program a.S.A.P . The committee recommends the bill passed as amended. Thank you so much. Are there any comments on the bill? Council members the one place. Sorry. Just finding my place here. I will I will be voting no on this 20, 21 year end supplemental budget. Unfortunately, because this vote is coinciding with the votes on the total city budget for next year, it has not received the attention it needs. As in previous years, there are many elements of this supplemental budget that I have no objection to, but there are some aspects that are very objectionable, and for that reason I will be voting no. This supplemental budget increases the police budget for this year 2021, by a total of $6 million. 333,540. How can the police complain of hundreds and hundreds of vacancies and a reduced payroll on the one hand and demand millions more dollars in mad money? On the other, it makes no sense. Some of that increased funding comes from the general fund and would better be spent on housing renewal programs and social services. Other funding comes from federal grants, and some of those grants are particularly ominous because it includes grants from the FBI and from Homeland Security for those so-called joint operations that have been used in the past to criminalize dissent. Like the way peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters were arrested and investigated by federal officers in the Justice for George Floyd movement last year. For those reasons, I will be voting no on this supplemental budget. Thank you. Thank you. Comes first. Are there excuse me, any additional comments? Any additional comments?
