Dialogue: 0,0:52:02.51,0:52:08.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the council has displayed just
Dialogue: 0,0:52:06.41,0:52:10.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incredible fiscal discipline over the
Dialogue: 0,0:52:08.12,0:52:14.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,last four or five years you've done a
Dialogue: 0,0:52:10.52,0:52:15.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,great job of modifying expenses they're
Dialogue: 0,0:52:14.21,0:52:18.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clearly has been an impact on the
Dialogue: 0,0:52:15.62,0:52:20.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,services that we provide it's it's
Dialogue: 0,0:52:18.29,0:52:23.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stress the organization there's some
Dialogue: 0,0:52:20.69,0:52:25.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,areas where perhaps we've cut too much
Dialogue: 0,0:52:23.29,0:52:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we have to go back and make
Dialogue: 0,0:52:25.13,0:52:30.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,adjustments on those things but
Dialogue: 0,0:52:27.56,0:52:31.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nonetheless the essential services by

Dialogue: 0,0:52:35.69,0:52:38.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your fiscal doesn't blend that I think
Dialogue: 0,0:52:37.01,0:52:40.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people need to know that we've tried to
Dialogue: 0,0:52:38.63,0:52:43.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,summarize that thing here the other
Dialogue: 0,0:52:40.61,0:52:47.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing from a broader perspective to say
Dialogue: 0,0:52:43.13,0:52:48.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the situation is that the fiscal
Dialogue: 0,0:52:47.09,0:52:51.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,difficulties that we have here in the
Dialogue: 0,0:52:48.59,0:52:53.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,city are to a large extent shared with
Dialogue: 0,0:52:51.77,0:52:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the state of Iowa the state of Iowa
Dialogue: 0,0:52:53.51,0:52:57.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,continues to have fiscal challenges not
Dialogue: 0,0:52:56.30,0:53:00.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because somebody did something good or
Dialogue: 0,0:52:57.74,0:53:03.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bad it is simply the fact of it at state
Dialogue: 0,0:53:00.74,0:53:05.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,level that they have extreme challenges
Dialogue: 0,0:53:03.14,0:53:07.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as well and what that means is it's not
Dialogue: 0,0:53:05.93,0:53:09.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to be easy for them to come back
Dialogue: 0,0:53:07.28,0:53:11.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do things that that help the city
Dialogue: 0,0:53:09.47,0:53:13.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with their own revenue so the state has
Dialogue: 0,0:53:11.57,0:53:15.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their own issues and my fear is that
Dialogue: 0,0:53:13.67,0:53:17.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there will be a tendency to want to push
Dialogue: 0,0:53:15.41,0:53:19.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obligations from state back to city and
Dialogue: 0,0:53:17.96,0:53:22.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're just gonna have to be very
Dialogue: 0,0:53:19.55,0:53:24.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,watchful of that if you look at that
Dialogue: 0,0:53:22.37,0:53:27.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nationally you say the same picture is
Dialogue: 0,0:53:24.76,0:53:29.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably worse in a lot of other states
Dialogue: 0,0:53:27.47,0:53:31.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,across country but in Iowa we have that
Dialogue: 0,0:53:29.78,0:53:33.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,issue as well so as we go forward in
Dialogue: 0,0:53:31.55,0:53:35.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this session and probably in the
Dialogue: 0,0:53:33.35,0:53:37.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sessions in the next few years it's
Dialogue: 0,0:53:35.57,0:53:40.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to continue to be a very urgent
Dialogue: 0,0:53:37.34,0:53:43.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,situation the state to a large extent
Dialogue: 0,0:53:40.30,0:53:45.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will take action that will have profound
Dialogue: 0,0:53:43.28,0:53:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,effect on our ability to continue
Dialogue: 0,0:53:45.56,0:53:50.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,services either by things that they do
Dialogue: 0,0:53:48.02,0:53:52.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or don't do and it's not because they're
Dialogue: 0,0:53:50.87,0:53:54.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good or bad they're struggling with
Dialogue: 0,0:53:52.37,0:53:56.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their own financial situation but we're
Dialogue: 0,0:53:54.92,0:53:58.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gonna have to be very diligent and
Dialogue: 0,0:53:56.36,0:53:59.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,monitoring all that we've talked about
Dialogue: 0,0:53:58.07,0:54:01.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some of the things here the pension
Dialogue: 0,0:53:59.51,0:54:04.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,costs is extremely important to us
Dialogue: 0,0:54:01.28,0:54:07.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,health costs are important but in terms
Dialogue: 0,0:54:04.22,0:54:09.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of health costs were impacted to a large
Dialogue: 0,0:54:07.37,0:54:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,extent extent by the federal legislation
Dialogue: 0,0:54:09.29,0:54:13.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is a little bit at least for me a
Dialogue: 0,0:54:11.36,0:54:14.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit of a black box in terms of what's
Dialogue: 0,0:54:13.49,0:54:16.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gonna happen so we're gonna have to
Dialogue: 0,0:54:14.66,0:54:19.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,monitor that very carefully as well so
Dialogue: 0,0:54:16.85,0:54:21.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have we have big issues just as we've
Dialogue: 0,0:54:19.16,0:54:24.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had in the past but that situation isn't
Dialogue: 0,0:54:21.89,0:54:26.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,abating in terms of the uncertainty and
Dialogue: 0,0:54:24.71,0:54:28.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the risk going forward but I will say if
Dialogue: 0,0:54:26.90,0:54:31.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you look back over their recent past
Dialogue: 0,0:54:28.57,0:54:34.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this council is done just I think in a
