▶ 38:39 Peter D. Mortimer: Will be recommended for passage. And while we're here, would someone like to make a motion to take order 2015-160 out of order? So moved, Mr. Chairman. Alderman Forbes has made a motion to take 2015-160 out of order through the authorization of the health revolving fund. 2659 for fiscal year 2016, duly seconded by Alderman Byrd. This way we can get you out of here and you can be done and go home. All in favor of the motion, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Hearing none, the order is before us. Motion to recommend. We have a motion to recommend the order for passage, duly seconded by Alderman Boycelle. All in favor? Aye. Excuse me, excuse me before we call for the vote, we do have some discussion from Alderman Byrd.

▶ 39:26 Jaclyn L. Bird: Just a quick question, Ms. Clay, can you just let members of the public know what the revolving account is used for as far as the money that comes in and out?

▶ 39:34 Speaker 4: It's primarily used for our flu clinics.

▶ 39:38 Speaker 4: We pay for the vaccine out of it, and then the revenue goes back into it.

▶ 39:42 Speaker 2: Right, and bike helmets as well, is that right?

▶ 39:45 Speaker 4: Bike helmets is a small, yeah, small amount. And one of the salaries, a couple of hours a week of the public health nurse's salary is also paid out of that.

▶ 39:56 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chairman.

▶ 39:57 Peter D. Mortimer: Thank you very much, Alderman Byrd. Alderman Medeiros, please.

▶ 40:00 Monica C. Medeiros: Ms. Clay, is this no opportunity for donations into this account, is that correct? No. Is there an account in the regular budget that would allow for donations? Or would it just come before us if people were interested?

▶ 40:15 Speaker 4: We don't have a donation account. No donation. We'd have to create one.

▶ 40:18 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you.

▶ 40:19 Peter D. Mortimer: Thank you, Alderman Medeiros. Seeing no further, Alderman wishing to be heard. All in favor of the motion for passage that has been duly seconded on this order, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed, hearing none, this revolving account will be recommended to the full board. That motion was made and seconded? Yes. Yes it was. Thank you very much, Madam Clerk. The next order we have before us is the Veterans Department, Budget 543.

▶ 40:49 Peter D. Mortimer: We have Major Driscoll and Sergeant McClain with us this evening.
