From the transcript
So just to let you know, the way we approach the budget is, if you bring up the slides, uh, and let me know if you can't see this, is we're basing this off of that we have ASD and Best Beginnings as part of it. Okay, now side note, we are going to work and we'll have a discussion at the end about some advocacy and having conversations because again, I can speak from the Children's Trust standpoint. When we got and worked for this $5 million, this fund was never to move those things over. I also recognize the city is challenged with other dollars, but, uh, again, it was to make $7 million and not just a $5 million. So, but understand that we don't have control of that, and I'm kind of wanting to build a budget off of worst-case scenario and then hopefully build off of that and so forth.
