Council Member Brannan inquires about a $1 million peg in FY24 related to Personal Services savings. CFO Jacqueline James clarifies that it's not a peg but an annual accrual takedown.

  • The $1 million is from PS savings and accruals, reviewed annually with OMB
  • It's not associated with any specific title or position
  • The savings are just from accruals, not from cutting specific expenses or positions

It's not associated with any specific title whatsoever.
