For Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below. Telecommunication Relay Services Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer­to­peer and third­party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers ­ generally telephone companies ­ are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user. What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY­Based TRS; Speech­to­Speech Relay Service; Shared Non­English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications­relay­service­trs. Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is deaf, hard­of­hearing, or has a speech disability. For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held. The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote. PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ­ An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting. The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment. If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant­At­Arms with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record. COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS ­ Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum of three (3) minutes. A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter. VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS ­ Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.

AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical corrections as necessary to those transactions included in this report to implement Mayor and Council intentions. 5. DIRECT the CAO to develop a process to facilitate the prioritization of TLH and Bridge to Jobs eligible position authorities within the annual Budget process in order to avoid interim position authorities, so that these positions may be considered within the context of overall budgetary priorities. Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that approval of the recommendations contained in the January 24, 2023 CAO report, attached to the Council File, will result in a transfer of $1,277,631 from the Unappropriated Balance to various City Departments to hire employees through the TLH and Bridge to Jobs Programs in 2022­23. This transfer should be sufficient for the estimated expenditures for the 70 new positions authorized as part of this report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022­23. In order to continue these positions in 2023­24, Departments will need to request continued resolution authority as part of the 2023­24 budget process. The annual ongoing cost including direct salary and related costs for the continuation of 70 positions in 2023­24 is approximately $6.1 million. Transferring the remaining funding from the Unappropriated Balance to a new account for fiscal year 2023­24 costs will offset this ongoing cost in the short term. Tuesday Financial - February Policies 28, 2023 Statement: The- CAO reports that thePAGE 17 recommendations contained in the January 24, 2023 CAO report, attached to the Council  should be sufficient for the estimated expenditures for the 70 new positions authorized as part of this report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022­23. In order to continue these positions in 2023­24, Departments will need to request continued resolution authority as part of the 2023­24 budget process. The annual ongoing cost including direct salary and related costs for the continuation of 70 positions in 2023­24 is approximately $6.1 million. Transferring the remaining funding from the Unappropriated Balance to a new account for fiscal year 2023­24 costs will offset this ongoing cost in the short term. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the recommendations contained in the January 24, 2023 CAO report, attached to the Council File, are in partial compliance with the City’s Financial Policies. While budgeted funding is available in the current fiscal year for anticipated expenditures, the City’s Financial Policies recommend considering the City’s ability to pay for future year expenses and also recommends avoiding one­time funds for ongoing programs and services. Since the recommended TLH and Bridge to Jobs positions will continue beyond FY 2022­23, the CAO has calculated the going costs to be approximately $6.1 million in 2023­24. Therefore, the CAO is recommending transferring the remaining funds to be held in the Unappropriated Balance in a new account for 2023­24 costs that will be reverted to the Reserve Fund to offset the increased expenditure in 2023­24.
