Finance Committee - 05/05/2021 Page 5
Mr. Griffin
Maybe | misspoke. The $40,000.00 would be the total amount we’ve spent from last August until this June
30". We have spent pretty close to $25,000.00 that’s why we felt it important to come in and ask for Finance
Committee approval.
Alderwoman Lu
OK. | see and is it weekly.
Mr. Griffin
Yes, Mr. Chairman. It is weekly this person (audio cuts out) for approximately 40 hours a week, no benefits.
Mayor Donchess
You were breaking up there for a moment, could you try to repeat that.
Mr. Griffin
Sure. This is an hourly person, this is a staffing augmentation person. They get paid for hours worked, no
benefits. But these two people who have worked with us proved to be very helpful. Sorry if | am breaking up,
my internet is unstable at this point.
Mayor Donchess
Any follow up, any other questions.
Alderwoman Lu
Just a comment.
Mayor Donchess
OK go ahead.
Alderwoman Lu
| just remember that we had been talking about not doing any hiring and | wonder if this was actually sticking to
that. But thank you for your answers.
Mr. Griffin
You're welcome.
Mayor Donchess
Well you know, we’ve made exceptions where we have necessary people and this Automobile Registration
brings in what for the City? $16 million dollars a year; $17 million and so we got to make sure that all of this
gets done and the citizens have got to get their cars registered as well. So this is what it has taken. Alright,
well anyone else? If there isn’t, Madam Clerk, could you please call the roll?
