the reduction in staffing levels. we will fill in key positions, because that is where we really need when you look at across the board system with overhead wiring. then when you look at initiation projects. this will be a savior in terms of getting it shored up with track replacement. so we can ensure we have a good operating infrastructure. last but not least, our automatic train control system to upgrade that. so we do not people operating in manual mode causing different problems as we look at the system. when we talk about transit support, as i indicated before, we will modify the budget and police that the management center. with the management center that is located right there, we have supervision that can better trouble suit -- troubleshoot the issues on the street. it folks out there to help mitigate, and that should be a big boom for us as we look to address the cost we're spending. outside of transit, parking control officers. we do have a cost recovery that is captured separately. almost 50% of the overti

it seems a lot of the staffing is fixed, and you kind of need the. it is not like you will not staff a treatment plant at three in the morning. but in terms of what is a choice, things like chemicals. i was focused on chemicals recently. we spend a lot of time on chemicals, but some of these are for -- what if we had a program to relate a lot of different things here, on the grease removal devices, and if we got more grease removal devices in the field and were able to take more food waste out of the sewage stream, so there is last suspended solids that tend to create odor problems and require treatment chemicals, if we invested $10,000 in something like that, if this is not a capital project. this is more of an operating project and there is a cost avoidance implication. the extent to which the staff can do some work on that chemical world, for the budget hearing and see where there are opportunities for avoidance, we certainly are going to continue to convey water, if this is clean water -- with less less solids in the waste water world. we are get

on the flip side we have had staffing shortages. from that we have had to compensate for not having enough employees, and that is because we have not had it allocated in the budget, or had budgeted positions and not killed, or we have had budgeted positions, and people are not at work because of leaguve and things alike. quite naturally i am sure everyone is aware when we talk about equipment and infrastructure issues, it has to do with us try to strive to have a state of good repair because vehicles are not in the shape we would like. when we talk about having state of the are more reliable equipment -- state of the art and more reliable equipment. going forward, looking at the overtime projections for the fiscal year, to the left we have it itemize byline, relative to station agents, the front lines that come and the underlying point is we're roughly at $32 million in reference to what we budgeted. when you look at the year-end projection, we are at $57 million. as you indicated before, we have of budget deficit, and it is a major

staffing at those hospitals, we used to have that staff on every shift. the determination was made that it would be more cost-effective to only have one manager in each unit can be available at should incidents are rise in their units -- the department moved to this staffing model to increase our efficiencies. we were able, looking at information in the audit -- we did eliminate the 24/74 managers, and restricted it to the lower premium for other managers. i think at this time, we are still looking to see whether we can make other efficiencies. we have created a fairly detailed log, so that we are able to track or the managers are being called, what the incidents are. often, it is patient care. a regulatory body has come to the hospital. there is a sentinel event that needs to be investigated. i think that would give us better data on further reductions in that area. chairperson campos: thank you. is there anyone here from dpw? how about human resources? i want to thank mr. grant for his patients, for waiting, and thank you for being here. >> martin grant
