Currently the 311 center has a 20 full time staff and part-time staff with some ten funding in the center, call volume increased over 20 percent since 2018, the center back in 2018 and 2019 exceeded its service level goals with 96 percent of all calls were answers. This year, 311 projects with that increased call volume we are seeing, that will lead to tan overall response of approximately 81 percent of calls to be answered further calls answered within 45 seconds which is the service level goal is expected to decrease to 45 percent down from 84 percent in 2019. With the additional staffing proposed in the trial budget, the expectation would be to answer a 90 percent of all calls and get to 69 percent of calls within 45 seconds.

We started this meeting at 11:17 A.M., thursday, JUNE 24th, 2021. The purpose of the meeting today is to go over and present the briefing and final report orch the on the community preparedness. Let me turn it over to erik walsh. >> thank you, mayor.

That presentation was distributed around 9:45 this morning. With that introduction, I will turn it over to MR. Williams to begin the presentation. >> thank you, erik. Thank you very much, mayor. First of all, we'll go through this as quickly as we can, to leave as much time as possible for questions and comments. i believe this is a group evident. The mayor formed this committee after the winter storm, and it became named the committee on emergency preparedness. I think it was the right thing to do, because I've been here with the city since '73 and it was obviously something I'd never seen. And probably even older people than me, which they're not me, have seen. So I think what we need to do is recognize who w …

general fund. We presented the five-year forecast, financial forecast to the city council just over a month ago on MAY 12th. We have received some information regarding revenues that have influenced the year-end estimate since that time that we will review with you shortly. The sales tax continues to perform much better than expected. We've seen that for most of the year. Notably, the hotel occupancy tax collections have improved just in the last few months, and both of those put us in much better position in both of those funds as we look at the outlook for the remainder of the year. While the economy continues -- or appears to be improving rapidly, the pace of that recovery still remains very much uncertain, so we will continue to look at these revenue sources throughout the budget process as new information comes to light. Last month at the forecast, we expected a very modest revenue surplus bolstered by the increased sales tax. After receiving updated information, we're now projecting a much higher collections in sales taxes and now we are now expecting sales taxes to be $22.7 million above the original adopted budget of 295 million at that time. We've also seen increased payments recently from cps, just in the last couple of months; therefore, we've revised our estimate in that category to $4.4 million above the adopted budget. So, therefore, even with declines in other areas, other revenues in the general fund, we're projecting to be $18.4 million above the adopted budg …

bring forward to the council. We are now roughly at the halfway point through the legislature. Many things will begin to start picking up speed as we go through the remaining part of the session. There are three or four more weeks of heavy committee activity and action will move to the house and senate floors. The team has certainly continued their efforts to advocate for and against legislation. We'll hear from jeff first and he'll hand it off to me. I'll give some opening remarks on ana's piece and then go to ana. Jeff. >> okay. Thanks, erik. I assume my mic is working. Another busy week at the state capitol this week so we're going to focus on what occurred since we talked last thursday. First and foremost this week was the hearing on senate bill 10 that would ban lobbying by cities and counties only, unlike the house bill, this one just targets cities and counties. A committee substitute bill was floated just hours before the hearing. Really didn't change the central purpose of the bill. again, just to reiterate, what the bill does is say that a city or county May not spend any public dollars to seek -- to influence indirectly or directly legislation pending before the legislature. And specifically what that means is that we wouldn't be able to hire contract lobbyists. We wouldn't be able to contribute to any trade association that uses a lobbyist. And staff, like myself, if we spend more than 26 hours per quarter at the legislature, we would not be able to do that either …
