Recommendation to approve the Fiscal Year 2015 first departmental and fund budget appropriation adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy.  (Citywide)
Item number eight report from Financial Management. Recommendation to approve the fiscal year 2015 first departmental and Fund Budget Appropriation Adjustments in accordance with existing City Council policy citywide. Okay. There's a motion in a second by your rent and price. Any public comment on the item? Okay. That's good to hear. Very good. You click, see dress. I think you should make the necessary adjustments based upon the fact that, contrary to what a number of you indicated before last week in budget discussions, that you will be flying back to Washington to lobby for money. I'm going to suggest you will not be flying back. The budget was not going to allow that. If you want to personally pay for that, that's fine. But given our financial situation, it would be highly imprudent to fly back. We pay lobbyist somewhere. I'm not sure who our PR firm back there. But the last time I remember, I think it was around $300,000. You have a telephone on your desk. You had computers? We had the ability to Skype. There is absolutely no justification for you to fly and the taxpayers dime back to Washington to build your political career. So I think you should adjust this budget under the realization that you're not going to be able to fly unless you're going to pay for it yourself. Thank you. Thank you. Charlie. Mayor, members of the council, this item, as proposed, would need to be amended to reflect the changes that you made on the previous item. And I think. Council staff is prepared to walk. Through that if you need to. But I think we have the direction from the previous motion. So if the maker of the motion would just as amended by the previous item, I think. Where was your vote, Mr. Ringer? Okay. I agree. Price is a second. Okay, great. Please cast your votes. Motion carries seven zero. Okay. Item number nine.
