All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, hearing none, this budget will be recommended to the full board in June. Thank you very much. Alderman MacMaster, please stay right where you are.

▶ 24:30 Peter D. Mortimer: Thank you very much. President Kahn, please.

▶ 24:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, as we start out the process, for people who haven't watched this before, Many of our departments have revolving funds where they receive donations or contributions from other sources.

So as we go through this, Mr. Chairman, we'll probably go through ten revolving funds. And just for anybody who doesn't understand what they are, that's what they're all about.
