“Yes. I just too want just more details on the actual cuts, and especially when it comes down to positions. And well, I guess I shouldn't be looking at you because you Again, you're not my employee. When it comes down to these cuts and these positions, we do need to, let me just say what I would do. How about that? Because I always try to put myself in other people's shoes.

“So we're going to say $3.5 million. Sorry? Three. Three? OK. And so how many jobs? Again, I just... How many affected? Yes. How many jobs, position, people? Are we talking about projective-wise? We're actually... It dealt with, I believe, 18... Not including positions that are not filled, just actual positions or individuals. 18 full-time. Five part-time. And do we have a plan to solidify those cuts if they become an actuality? What's the plan on making sure that the services are fulfilled, that our citizens are not shortchanged? And again, are those individual cuts or positions broken down…”

“Because I still have the floor. And that's fine. And again, don't have a problem with the recommended plan. that I would like, just like she just stated, there's a plan that y'all have. There's a book that y'all have that she's put together as a plan. I don't have it. As a board member, you got 18 four-time positions, five part-time positions that are being considered recommended to be cut. Recommended from by the director. I would like to see it. And even if I can't make a decision or say, oh, because there's day to day, at least we know what's coming. At least we know that these positions…”

“I'm going to let you finish. And I let you talk, and I'm still talking. All right, go ahead. So again, that's a problem for me. Because now it makes me feel like, what's the reason that this was implemented today, same day notice? We should not do business like that with nobody. Nobody. Even if they got a rap sheet.

Because we got to make those projections. Again, that's not the problem. That's not the problem here. Okay. And that's 2020.”

“Sure. I was just going to, when you mentioned all color, I went ahead and put it up as well. I went to staff and operation. And what it says that they did, they focused their shift towards internal department consolidation and reassignments rather than immediate layoffs.
