| thought it was $40 million. What’s in the green pages are the contributions for the proposed year.
I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the $40 million fund that they'll wind up in.
CEO Griffin
It’s certainly disclosed if you provide me with a second to respond. It’s certainly disclosed in the city’s
Special Board of Aldermen Public Hearing Page 46
CFO Griffin
Correct. You just indicated several areas that includes retirement. On page 21 is to calculate the
total amount in the general fund operating budgets. As you know, the green pages are totally
dedicated to solid waste enterprise and wastewater.
Fred Teeboom
How much more retirement money is that in the green pages.
CFO Griffin
| could get you that number.
Fred Teeboom
But that’s the main point. So $24 million is not even the full amount. It’s even more.

Steve Lyons
My name is Steve Lyons. I’m a representative for the Custodial and security and maintenance group
for the schools. There’s been a lot of discussions in the papers relative to the productions of the
custodians. It’s my understanding it’s put out there that 9 custodians being reduced. I’m involved in
that process. The reality is 10 employees who are going to be reduced because there’s two part
time. So 10 employees are going to be reduced as a result of this not 9.

We’re creating a culture that fits what we think is our need. The needs today are the same as the
needs that were here 20 years ago, 30 years ago, 40 years ago and we had none of this nonsense.
Chairman Dowd
Any other comments on education?

Paula Johnson
May | ask a board member the same question?
Mayor Donchess
What’s the question?
Paula Johnson
The question is how do we justify - maybe you should have been listening to what I’m saying — how
do we justify no textbooks for students in Algebra | and II, none for Geometry, and none for Spanish II
and III?
Mayor Donchess
All right does any board member have a different answer than the one that Dr. Brown gave if its’ the
same.

Superintendent Brown
| would have to get the chart. | don’t have that standing here. | wasn’t prepared to answer that.
Paula Johnson
Then let me ask you another question here differently. | was reading the paper and this will probably
fall into next hope we'll see that 2 teachers were supposedly had moved on to pursue other
opportunities but now we find out that they’re employed and being paid. One is almost $3,000 a
month and on is almost $4,000 a month.
Superintendent Brown
