going to rehire. Between the two positions have we just decided that the salary needs to be increased to a total of
30,000?
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director
Good evening. Director Kleiner. So no, that is not true. The employee that is moving from Risk Management to
Administrative Service is at a higher salary now. So the addition is into Administrative Services to cover that employee
who is a highly skilled employee and who has served in this role prior under Director Maureen Lemieux.
Alderwoman Lu
That makes sense. Thank you very much.
Kim Kleiner, Administrative Services Director

ESTABLISHING AN OPIOID ABATEMENT EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND FUNDED BY APPROPRIATIONS AND
MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF $27,223.40 INTO THE EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN JETTE FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-21-168, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Jette
So Director Bagley appeared before the Budget Review Committee last evening and explained that this is an expendable
trust fund that's being created to receive the money that is the result of settlements and maybe judgments depending on a
bunch of cases, legal cases regarding the opioid manufacturers. These cases have been brought by Attorneys General
across the country and some private law firms. So the results of that are starting to come in. So this is establishing a
trust fund to receive that money and the first installment is this $27,223 which the city is going to use to deal with the
opioid crisis in trying to abate it. Hopefully this is just a small part of what will be a lot more money coming in. That's the
purpose of it.
President Wilshire
Thank you Alderman Jette. Discussion?
