On March 9, 2026, the Syracuse City Council held a meeting at 3:57 PM. Councilors discussed a resolution appointing commissioners, a waiver request for ACA filing fees, and several budget items including a police department fund transfer. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
Do we have um we do that? So we have to start our session. Do we need to announce the hearing now or is that it doesn't matter? Okay, we'll do it later. All right, so I have item nine. There will be a resolution approving the appointment of various persons as commissioners of dates. That's ready. Councilor Kalpa. Thank you, President. Penny Aqua blesses to all today on this beautiful day. I have number item 10 and I have item 11. I have a waiver item. Hey council, uh apologies for the late submission. Uh the waiver request is to file our ACA um information. So if you're a member, hold on, hold on. Oh, next thing I'll get oh, I'm not gonna be able to do that. Okay, okay. Can you start over, please? Yeah, absolutely. So uh the waiver request is for filing our A ACA information with the federal government. So if you remember um a while back, we switched over to one group, uh which is B Pass's parent company to take over our compiling of data and all that um for our ACA requirements. So they still do all of that tracking, and then uh at the end of the year, we need to file that paperwork and this fee is to help cover that filing cost. So it's kind of like uh the easiest way to think about it is like paying H and R block to file our taxes. We're doing the same thing. Uh one group pulled together all the information and attracts us for it on a regular basis, and then when they submit to the feds, we use a system that has a fee um per head. So um it should be substantially less than that, but we it depends on number of employees, so we built in some uh yes Richard calling me um the other day, Matt put on a way by explained it to me. Um so I'm hoping everybody else is okay with pushing us through. So where is that in the packet? It's in a new one on the thing. Oh, it's there last week. Yeah. Um supplemental supplemental. So it's in the supplemental package that's not on the agenda for a supplemental package. Okay. Yeah. It's number it's number 10. So we need having any backing. Yeah, we it's okay. Any other we have more questions? We'll talk to you afterwards. Yes, absolutely. Item 11 is already. Thank you all. Thank you. That's right. All right, counselor might theoretically. All right. The waiver item is um this is supplemental. Okay. Number 10.
