Council Member Julie Won inquires about the budget allocation for retaining 10 existing staff positions. Key points discussed:

• The adopted plan for the current fiscal year included an additional $1,100,000 to fund 10 positions
• These were existing internal positions that needed continued funding
• The allocation in the budget allowed MOCS to fill the gap where they were losing funding for 10 individuals already on staff
• All 10 individuals are still with MOCS thanks to this budget infusion
• The funding was to replace time-limited funding that previously supported these 10 staff lines
