walton that it would be. a global question i had, and this is really also to the mayor's office, is i certainly appreciate and support the fact that the department technology's budget has been decreasing for the last few years. i think that is appropriate, given overall city budget cuts. could either of you give me a sense, though, of what is happening to the information technology budgets of other departments? as dt's budget has been increasing, and has put more pressure on your department, particularly at a time when we are trying to centralize i.t. i think it is important that other departments around the city are sharing in that cause inherited. >> absolutely. there are a number of things going on in the budget to reflect on, discussions that we and you have had. a couple of kind of immediate issues related to the data center consolidation, we have, as approved in the plan that was adopted by coit, budgeted some savings in the budget to reflect the projected savings associated with the data center consoli
