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

Okay.

The adopt a plan for this current fiscal year included additional 1,100,000.0 to fund 10 positions.
1:35:59
Have you been able to hire for those positions?
1:36:02
I believe those were actually internal positions that existed that so could you help confirm that those positions are filled?
Lisa Flores
1:36:11
Yeah.
1:36:11
Thank you, chair Juan.
1:36:12
That allocation in the budget allowed us to sort of fill the gap where we were losing funding for 10 individuals who were already on staff.
1:36:21
So those 10 individuals are still with

1:36:23
us.
1:36:24
Okay.
1:36:25
And wait.
1:36:28
Sorry.
1:36:28
Could you repeat that?
Lisa Flores
1:36:29
Yeah.
1:36:30
Net funding, chair one, was to sort of fill the gap for time limited funding that we had previously to support 10 staff lines.
1:36:39
And so we are we're able to keep those full 10 staff lines thanks to that infusion of the budget.
