▶ 18:19 Ryan Williams: not to pass. Is there a second with a second by counselor? Migliarelli. So the motion ought not to pass is now before us is there any discussion Council Williams recall this order was a bit of a tough decision, but for me the decision that was tough was not whether we should create Equitable pay for City staff. It was whether it was Too soon given the state of unsettled Union contracts. We've now settled our Union contracts and although we haven't heard anything back from the administration. I think it would be a good opportunity to throw it back into committee. And see if that entices them to come forward and speak to us about this. Any other counselor calm shady. I also recall this being a challenging order
▶ 19:07 Manjula Karamcheti: in terms of thinking about what the right thing to do was and while I absolutely want our city employees to for us to all have the information in terms of figuring out Equitable salaries. I am thinking that where we are soon to be in the budget cycle. It might make sense instead of to go back to Appropriations. Perhaps the city will consider this as a part of the budget process for the future. So I'm sorry is You're saying that you discussing okay sharing my thoughts. Anyone else on discussion counselor garapick? I believe this. I think when the mayor was in front of us or I'm sorry. The administration was in front of us. We were discussing. I think the suggestion was to include it in next year's fy24 budget
▶ 20:06 Mark Garipay: and I believe this was for back pay more or less if there's got approved back to the fiscal fiscal year, which should have probably been in fy23 if they were going to do that. I I I support the ought not to pass at this time. I think we're almost a budget season. Let's just included have the administration inclusion include these raises if there was if there was a promise made that this money would be Approved it was never brought to our attention until it came. So I mean you can't approve money to To the employees if it doesn't come in front of us, so I would say that I support ought not to pass right now when I would recommend that the administration include the raises in the fy24 budget.
▶ 21:06 Jen Grigoraitis: Any other counselors wishing to speak councilor McLeary just want to Echo counselors Karim JD and counselors garepase comment for the record that I agree with them 100% Okay, any other comments before we call the roll?
