Uh the total was 56,000. We don't need it all. Um but this is what we do need. We need to move some money into um Social Security, some money into Medicare, uh that type of stuff. Okay. So uh this is for the new person that started. I think the total salary by year in is about 42,000, something like that. And then there's uh some of these other items. So just to make it very clear, whereas half of the funding for the office assistant and the amount of 28,000 was placed on line uh 10, 1220.140 supervisor office assistant, and half the amount of 28,000 was placed on 01012436 supervisor contract. Whereas the total of 22,125 dollars is to be moved from the contractual to the salary medical and social security and Medicare tax lines as noted below, and they'll therefore be resolved the town board town north settlement by authorized the budget transfers uh to adjust the monies in the general fund. We're not increasing anything here, uh, to the uh 010, the general fund budget to pay for a full-time office assistant in the supervisor's office as follows. And um it's uh going from and these are do it as written if you like. I can do it as written, yeah. So uh uh we're moving 14,000 to the salary, which should be a little more than we need. We're moving 525 to Medicare, 2600 to Social Security, and there's a payment in lieu of health care, it's 5,000. So we uh we're moving those items, and I'm gonna make the motion as it's written.
