They are representing the city and providing expertise and guidance.
Just a clarification of Vice Mayor Chow's question.
Okay.
Well, through the mayor, may I ask some questions?
Hey, thanks.
So I realize how hard it's put the stuff in the budget as well as an OpenGov.
More of a general question, we get macro views of expenses, line items, revenues, they're all in there.
How do we get and drill down to the departmental level?
We get FTE counts, but there's nothing deeper than that to understand what's in those budgets.
Those budgets are assumed that they're going to hold the same or steady is the assumption, but we don't see that level of detail in the OpenGov.
we'll get the ftes yes but we don't get anything else as to the projects the programs that are associated with the department so for example i mean i don't know i'll pick a department but you might just say finance in ap and you're spending x amount on training or you're spending x amount for something else like other than the personnel cost we don't see any other other costs in there is there a way to get down to that level
Like, I can't tell what public works is spending on, I don't know, trucks.
I can't tell what community development is spending on permitting fees.
So I thought I saw something like that before, so I might be missing something.
But it seems like everything's holding flat in general on the FTE.
It's like we see it at that level, definitely at the macro view, and we can see it at the expense and revenue side.
I was just trying to go a little bit deeper to understand how each department functions.
Okay, and then in general, I think when we think about government efficiency, investments in automation, cost efficiency, quality of life, public safety, they seem to be top of mind.
On the other ones, I just have a detailed question just on there are things we can remove here, too, in the request, right?
We can make a request to make that removal.
