Hi LJ,

I’m out of the office tomorrow morning, but I will ask a staff member to bring it up at 10:00.  Will you be in Nevins Hall?

If so, Jenn N. or Todd, can you print the attached and bring it to  Nevins around 10 this morning?

Thanks,
Carly

HI Carly

As it happens, we’ll be doing a walk-thru with Media Boss tomorrow (Tuesday 12/28) at 10 a.m. if you’d like to pop up and hand deliver?

Hope you had a nice week off, and a peaceful Holiday.

Thank you for everything

Jen attached is the cost page and signature page for the Inauguration.  The cost is $5,050, the additional items listed are not needed per L.J.  Please let me know when the purchase order is done and if you could sign the last page and send it to me that would be great.

Charlie, Jen will be processing the purchase order for this, we’re all set with funding.

Thanks,
Carly

Subject: Zoom Administrator

We need to allocate funds estimated at $4,500-$5,000 for the Zoom administrator for the remainder of FY22. We have been using CARES funding for this expenditure, but that grant is expired.

Funding could come from Media Services although since Ron and Katya are related that may be a conflict of interest, but if technology or the cfo’s office pays the bills it may be okay and it seems to fit the expenditure criteria since its related to media and public information.

Technology Services doesn’t have funds available.  

Mayor’s budget has some funding, but I’m not sure if you have plans for that (Mayor budget is attached).

City Council has funding for consulting and education that may be available, but again I’m not sure of their plans if any for those budget items at this time.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Jen

Hmmm I’m not sure it does if she isn’t reporting to him directly.

How much is it monthly? Maybe there are funds in the city council or mayors budget – or technology?

I’m not sure but would that cause any kind of conflict of interest?  That’s why she reported to Alaa, to avoid that appearance.

Good morning Carly,

Happy New Year.

Do you know who I should send my invoices to now?

Also, do you know who is monitoring the mayor’s email address? I haven’t received any Zoom requests, which may be because of the time of year, or because the requests aren’t being forwarded to me. Just wanted to check on that.

Thanks,

Katya

The Mayor authorized this expenditure for the employee holiday luncheon. There are funds in the HR budget $3,000 for Meals/Special Functions and the remainder will need to be transferred into that line item from somewhere else in the HR budget (office supplies or similar).

Is this okay for me to process for payment?

Thanks

Jen
