MANPOWER, AND I'M CALLING THE MEETING TO ORDER AND ASK FOR A ROLL CALL, PLEASE.
[CALL TO ORDER:]
[00:00:07]
YOU'RE. PRESIDENT.YOU'RE. AWESOME, AND WE HAVE FOUR HERE AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM, SO PUBLIC COMMENTS NOTICE AND.
A. BUT THEN I GUESS I'LL BRING IT BACK TO US, GUYS.
[1. Continued discussion of CBAB members’ top priorities regarding departmental budgets.]
OBVIOUSLY, LAST WEEK WE WERE HERE ON LAST MONDAY, AND AS A BOARD, WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION WITH THE RECOMMENDATION TO TAKE THE COUNCIL.AND ULTIMATELY, AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, THEY DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH THE CURRENT MILLAGE RATE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING AND NOT AND I PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, I BELIEVE I HEARD EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER SAID THAT THEY WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLAN TO STAY AT THE THREE PERCENT CAP. MULTIPLE COUNCIL MEMBERS NOTED THAT THEY ARE NOT A FAN OF THE CAP, BUT UNDERSTAND THE RESTRICTION AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT SHOULD BE THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD OPERATE WITHIN THE THREE PERCENT CAP.
I HONESTLY FEEL THAT'S WHERE OUR CONVERSATION SHOULD FALL.
I DON'T FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING ADDITIONAL ITEMS PAST THAT NUMBER AND THE FACT THAT THE ENTIRE COUNCIL MADE THAT MADE THAT STATEMENT THAT THAT'S THEIR WISHES MOVING FORWARD, WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT, THAT'S THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE POSITION IS.
I BELIEVE THE CITY ATTORNEY WAS VERY FIRM WITH HER STATEMENT THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE FINALIZATION.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT COULD CHANGE THAT TO EVEN OPEN IT UP, BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS KNOWN AS FAR AS A DEFICIENCY IN THE BUDGET NOW DOESN'T QUALIFY AS A REASON TO EXCEED THE CAP. SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME OF FINALIZING OR THAT EVEN TO BE AN OPTION FOR COUNCILMAN.
AND THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, AND THAT'S WHAT I HEARD PATRICIA SMITH, THE CITY ATTORNEY, SAY. LAST LAST WEEK AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND I WILL ASK ANGELICA TO PLEASE CORRECT ME ULTIMATELY WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THREE PERCENT CAB BASED UPON AFTER WHAT'S PREVIOUSLY ALLOCATED OR PREVIOUSLY SPOKEN FOR, WE ARE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AT THE MOMENT, YES, I WILL ADD TO THIS CONVERSATION THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE OR HAD THE CHANCE TO WATCH EATING, MR. BAILEY DID GO BACK AND FORTH WITH ME A FEW ON A FEW STATEMENTS AND PERFECTLY WELCOMED.
AND HE BROUGHT UP SOME OTHER FUNDS THAT ARE COMING IN.
I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT THOSE ARE THE FUNDS COMING IN.
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT LARGELY THEY ARE.
ALREADY ALLOCATED TO MULTIPLE ITEMS, AND THEY ARE A ONE TIME DEPOSIT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT A BUDGET THAT HAS TO BE SUSTAINABLE OR RECURRING ANNUAL.
THOSE THINGS ARE GREAT, AND I AND IT WAS GOOD THAT THEY WERE BROUGHT UP.
I COMMEND COUNCILMAN BAILEY FOR BRINGING THEM UP BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS THAT. THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THAT.
YES, THAT MONEY IS COMING TO PALM BAY.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT EVERY YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE TO 15 YEARS.
ALL THAT'S GREAT TO HELP THOSE SPECIFIC OUTLINED ITEMS, IT'S NOT RECURRING.
SO ULTIMATELY, WE HAVE TO SAY WHETHER WE BEGIN WITH LOOKING AT THE THREE PERCENT GAP, I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND.
THAT'S WHERE WE GOT TO FOCUS ON WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AS REGARDING THE BUDGET MOVING FORWARD, WE'VE GOT TO FOCUS WITH THREE PERCENT CAP.
BUT THEY SAID IT'S WHAT? THE RULES WORK RIGHT NOW, SO REGARDLESS OF OUR PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION IS WHAT IS? IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS HOW TO APPROACH THIS.
AND TWO SUGGESTIONS, I KNOW THERE'S ONLY FOUR OF US, SO I'M NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY GO INTO A SPECIFIC ORDER IF YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SPEAK SPEAKER.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT WAS MY POSITION THAT WE STAY AT THE CAMP AS WELL, THAT WE DO NOT EXCEED THE CAP. THAT WAS THE VOTE THAT I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HAD I BEEN HERE ON THAT DAY, SO I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNCIL AS IT.
[00:05:01]
AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED.IF I MAY, I'M I'M JUST CURIOUS, WITHIN THE PRESENTATIONS THAT WE HAVE FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THAT CAME, HOW MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN IN THE PRESENTATIONS IN THE MONTH OF MAY OR JUNE THAT ARE NOW DESTINED TO BE FUNDED BY THE RESCUE FUNDS. SO JUST AN EXAMPLE.
MY TOP PRIORITY IS OUR POLICE AND FIRE.
I CALL THEM MY ONE AND ONE B WITH NONE BEFORE THE OTHER.
BUT AS FAR AS POLICE GOES, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THEIR BUDGET PRIORITIES WAS FOR THE BODY CAMERA PROGRAM. BUT THEN WE FUNDED THE BODY CAMERA PROGRAM.
SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE BY EACH DEPARTMENT WHAT THEY ARE STILL GOING TO NEED MONEY FOR AFTER THE RESCUE FUNDS? I DEFER TO ANGELICA.
SO CURRENTLY, IF YOU'VE WATCHED THE PRESENTATION SPECIFICALLY ON THE AARP FUNDING THAT OUR CITY MANAGER DID WITH CITY COUNCIL, THEY HAD PRESENTED WHAT THE INTENT FOR THE FIRST PORTION OF THE AARP FUNDING, THEY MAY RECOMMEND IT DESIGNATED TO REMEMBER THAT WE DON'T GET 18 MILLION ALL UP FRONT.
THEY ARE IN TWO SECTIONS OF APPROXIMATELY 19 MILLION EACH.
SO WE'VE ONLY RECEIVED NINETY NINE MILLION I'M SORRY, NINE MILLION.
AND THEN THEY'LL RECEIVE THE NEXT NINE MILLION WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
SO RIGHT NOW WE CAN'T ALLOCATE FUNDING FOR THE FULL 18.
WE CAN ONLY DO NINE AT A TIME.
HOW AARP FUNDING IS BROKEN DOWN IS THERE CATEGORIES.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, CATEGORY A, B, C, D, AND WITHIN EACH CATEGORY YOU HAVE TO MEET REQUIREMENTS ON WHAT YOU CAN SPEND THE FUNDS ON TO THE BIG AREAS THAT REALLY A LOT OF THE FUNDING IS GEARED TO TOWARDS IS UTILITIES AND STORMWATER PROJECTS.
SO THOSE ARE TWO TYPES OF CATEGORIES.
AND THEN THERE'S ONE CATEGORY WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS A REVENUE LOSS.
SO THERE'S A REVENUE LOSS CATEGORY, WHICH WE CALCULATED AN ESTIMATE OF THE REVENUE LOSS THAT WE HAD SEEN DUE TO COVID, WHICH WAS ABOUT FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS.
AND THEN THAT FOUR POINT EIGHT DOLLARS MILLION IS ALLOWABLE TO BE SPENT ON CERTAIN TYPES OF ITEMS THAT STILL MEET A CERTAIN REQUIREMENT.
SO YOU CAN'T FUND PERSONNEL WITH THEM.
YOU CAN'T THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU CANNOT FUND, BUT IT'S GEARED TOWARDS SAFETY, SECURITY, PUBLIC SAFETY TYPES OF ITEMS. SO WHEN THE CITY MANAGER, ALONG WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, GOT TOGETHER AND TALKED ABOUT WHAT THEIR PRIORITIES WERE FOR THE AARON FUNDING, SO THIS WAS EXTERNAL FROM THE REQUESTS FOR THE BUDGET, THEY CAME UP WITH THEIR TOP LIST OF ITEMS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO FUND WITH THAT PORTION OF THAT NINE MILLION DOLLARS.
BECAUSE REMEMBER, IF YOU'RE DESIGNATING FIVE TOWARDS STORM WATER, UTILITY AND UTILITY TYPE PROJECTS, YOU CAN'T USE THAT FOR REGULAR GENERAL FUND TYPES OF THINGS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY. AND DURING THAT PRESENTATION THAT WENT TO COUNCIL, THE TOP ITEMS THAT THEY ARE HOPING TO FUND WITH THAT PORTION OF THAT REVENUE LOSS IS A NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND FUNDING TOWARDS THE BUILDING E THAT SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED HERE ON THE CAMPUS.
AND THEN THE REMAINING AMOUNT AFTER THAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED WOULD GO TOWARDS A PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY TYPES OF NOT NECESSARILY PROJECTS, BUT TYPES OF ITEMS. NOW, ON THURSDAY, WE DID PUT A LEGISLATIVE MEMO THROUGH SPENDING A PORTION OF THAT TOWARDS. BODY CAMS, HOW THEY ARE STRUCTURING IT IS STILL A LITTLE QUESTIONABLE BECAUSE THE BODY CAMS IS NOT YOU CAN EITHER DO A ONE TIME PURCHASE, YOU CAN DO IT OVER FIVE YEARS. YOU CAN SPREAD OUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.
SO THE ONE POINT SIX MILLION OF THE BODY CAMS, IT HASN'T BEEN DECIDED ON.
IF WE WILL UTILIZE ONLY A PORTION OF THE RPA FUNDING TOWARDS THAT, IF WE WILL PAY THE FIRST TWO YEARS WITH AARON DOLLARS, IF WE WANT TO DO A LUMP SUM.
SO THAT HASN'T BEEN DECIDED YET.
SO ONCE THAT'S DECIDED, THEN WE CAN PLUG THAT INTO THAT FORMULA OF, HEY, HERE'S FOUR POINT EIGHT THAT WE CAN SPEND AND HOW DO WE WANT TO ALLOCATE THE REMAINING OF THE FUNDS.
HOWEVER, WHEN THE GROUPS GOT TOGETHER, DEPARTMENT HEADS CITY MANAGER AND DISCUSSED WHAT THEY PLAN ON UTILIZING THOSE AARON DOLLARS FOR BASED ON THE GUIDELINES THAT HAVE COME OUT FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
[00:10:02]
THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED AND THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. AND REALLY COUNCIL REALLY DOES HAVE ULTIMATE, YOU KNOW, APPROVAL OVER THOSE ITEMS. BUT THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WERE DEEMED.QUALIFIABLE HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS THAT YOU NORMALLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE NECESSARILY GENERAL FUND DOLLARS BECAUSE OF THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF EXPENDITURES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE. IF I MAY HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.
FIRST QUESTION IS HOW MUCH MONEY APPROXIMATELY ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM? SEIBERT, THEY ARE ESTIMATING ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
MY OTHER QUESTION IS, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THE ONE POINT SIX MILLION IS GOING TO COVER A FIVE YEAR CONTRACT WITH EXXON FOR THE BODY CAMERAS, IS GOING TO BE THE HARDWARE AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE.
AND THEN I ALSO UNDERSTOOD SOME FUNDING FOR PERSONNEL AS FAR AS RECORDS KEEPING AND THINGS TO SOUND ABOUT.
RIGHT. PERSONNEL CANNOT BE FUNDED WITH AARON DOLLARS.
THAT WOULD BE A GENERAL FUND ABSORPTION SO OR THE LIKE.
IF WE LOOK AT I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PRESENTATION, FIVE YEAR CONTRACT TOTAL ONE POINT SIX, THREE MILLION.
AND THEN ALSO THE AGENDA ITEM FROM THURSDAY WAS ONE POINT SIX THREE MILLION.
SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT ONE POINT SIX THREE MILLION IS WHAT IT GETS.
I READ THE AGENDA ITEM AS IT WAS FUN FUNDING THE PROGRAM.
EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH BODY CAMERAS WAS GOING TO BE FUNDED BY THIS ALLOCATION OF MONEY. RIGHT, SO THERE'S THERE'S VARIOUS WAYS OF DOING IT, THOUGH, BECAUSE THE CONTRACT HASN'T BEEN FINALIZED YET.
IT IS OVER A FIVE YEAR TERM, SO YOU CAN CHOOSE TO FINANCE IT OVER FIVE YEARS, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO ONLY PAY FOR THE FIRST TWO, YOU CAN CHOOSE.
THERE'S VERY MANY WAYS THAT WE CAN CHOOSE TO UTILIZE BOTH AARON FUNDING, AND WE CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO USE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO OFFSET THAT.
SO HYPOTHETICALLY, IF THEY SAY, WELL, WE'LL ONLY PAY FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS WITH AARON DOLLARS, THEN WE'LL POSSIBLY WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT PORTION OF THE AARON DOLLARS COMES IN.
OR DO WE UTILIZE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO SUPPORT IT? THAT HAS NOT BEEN FINALIZED YET.
SO IF WE WANT TO SAY, HEY, WE'LL JUST PAY IT FULL OUTRIGHT FOR THE ONE POINT SIX, WE HAVE THAT OPTION TO DO SO.
BUT THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION AT THE MANAGEMENT LEVEL ON WHAT WHAT STRATEGY WE CHOOSE TO GO FORWARD. BUT THAT ONE POINT SIX DOES INCLUDE THE ENTIRE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM OF THE BODY CAMS, EXCLUDING THE PERSONNEL AND OF COURSE, ANY ONGOING COST THAT YOU MAY HAVE PASSED THE ALLOWABLE TIME OF USING THE.
JEFF, I MAY HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION ROUGHLY IN FLEXIBLE DOLLARS, WE'RE GOING TO JUST USE A GENERIC TERM HERE.
AND WE HAVE TWO MILLION FOR A FINANCIAL SYSTEM, POTENTIALLY ONE POINT SIX MILLION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY IN THE FORM OF BODY CAMERAS.
AND I'M GOING OFF MEMORY HERE, BUT I BELIEVE THE ALLOCATION TO BUILDING EA WAS TWO MILLION. I'M ALREADY AT FIVE POINT SIX MILLION, SO I'M OVER FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? WHAT AM I MISSING? SO AS WE SAID, THAT THAT PLAN HASN'T BEEN FINALIZED AND THESE ARE ALL FLEXIBLE ITEMS. SO INITIALLY THE PLAN WAS TO UTILIZE TO FOR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO FOR THE BUILDING AND THE REMAINDER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
NOW THAT DEPENDING ON THE STRATEGY WE TAKE FOR THE PAYING FOR THE BODY CAMS, THEN, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE CHOOSE TO ONLY PAY FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF AARON DOLLARS, THEN THAT'S HALF OF THE ONE POINT SIX. THAT'S EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND.
STILL LEAVING YOU WITH TWO FOR THE BUILDING, TWO FOR THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
SO THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE NOT SAT DOWN AND TALKED ABOUT STRATEGY.
SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CONTRACT THAT WE ENTER INTO, WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT VERY MANY ASPECTS OF EITHER UTILIZING AARON FOR THE WHOLE THING.
IS IT MORE BENEFICIAL TO ONLY PAY THE FIRST YEAR? DO WE PAY FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS? AND THEN WE ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS A FULL A FULL TWO MILLION.
COULD WE PUT MORE TOWARDS THE BUILDING? COULD WE PUT LESS TOWARDS THE BUILDING? THERE'S A LOT OF ASPECTS TO IT.
SO UNFORTUNATELY, THE LIMITATIONS ARE THERE OF WHAT WE CAN UTILIZE THE DOLLARS FOR.
AND THESE ARE NEEDED ITEMS THAT WE GENERALLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FUND WITH A STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FUNDED THROUGH GENERAL FUND.
YEAH, I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIR, JUST ONE LAST FOLLOW UP QUESTION, THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME HERE.
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COUNCIL VOTED ON AS AN AS AN AGENDA ITEM LAST THURSDAY.
[00:15:02]
WHAT DID THEY VOTE ON? WHAT DID THEY APPROVE BY APPROVING YOUR MEMORANDUM AND WHAT YOU SENT THEIR WAY AND THEY VOTED ON.SO SO JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE TRUTH AND MILLICH PROCESS.
THIS IS A STATE REGULATORY THING.
SO WHAT ALL CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES DO IN THE MONTH OF JULY, WE MOVE INTO THE PROPOSAL PROCESS, MEANING THAT WE APPROVE A TENTATIVE MILITARY, THAT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO THE BUDGET FINALIZATION OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET WITH WE.
FROM THAT POINT, WE HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO GO DOWN UNTIL OUR OFFICIAL MILITARY AID IS APPROVED, BUT WE CANNOT GO UP.
SO FORGIVE ME, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT I ACTUALLY MEAN ON THE AGENDA ITEM THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE BODY CAMERAS.
SO THERE WAS AN AGENDA ITEM THAT TALKED TO THE ONE POINT SIX MILLION THAT WAS A THAT, AS I INTERPRETED AS A CITIZEN AT THE TIME, WAS IN A FUNDING THAT THEY WERE VOTING TO FUND IT. WHEN THE CONVERSATION HAPPENED ON THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL SAID, WE'RE SO EXCITED TO SUPPORT OUR POLICE, WE'RE EXCITED TO GET THEM WHAT THEY NEED.
SO MY IMPRESSION IS THAT THE COUNCIL'S IMPRESSION I KNOW THERE'S MULTIPLE LAYERS OF HEARSAY HERE IS THAT THE MONEY FOR THE CAMERAS IS SET.
WE HAVE IT ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
YEP. WE GOT THAT TAKEN CARE OF.
SO ON THAT ITEM, I'M INCORRECT IN MY ASSESSMENT FROM EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID.
SO WHAT DID WE PUSH? WHAT DID WE PASS THROUGH? I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE AGENDA ITEMS SPECIFICALLY.
THAT IS NOT AN AGENDA ITEM THAT I PUSHED THROUGH THAT CAME FROM OUR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT. SO INTERESTING.
IF I COULD ADD TO THAT DISCUSSION, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ULTIMATELY COUNCIL SAID WE'LL FIND A WAY TO FUND IT. I DON'T THINK IT WAS DEFINITELY ALLOCATED FROM CERTAIN SOURCE OF FUNDS. IT WAS EVEN DISCUSSED TALKING ABOUT HOW SOME OR ALL COULD BE PAID FROM THESE FUNDS WE'RE DISCUSSING NOW, NOT NECESSARILY NECESSARILY SAY WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. THEY BASICALLY VOTED TO SAY WE WILL FIND A WAY TO PAY FOR IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
IT IS NECESSARY. WAS THE VOTE THAT WAS PASSED ON.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. WITH THAT COMBINED WITH MS. COLLINS ANSWER WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING HERE IS FROM PROCUREMENT, BECAUSE THE WHOLE TIME I'M THINKING CAME FROM FINANCE, FROM PROCUREMENT PROCUREMENT SAID, HEY, WE'RE WORKING ON THIS CONTRACT, SO ON AND SO FORTH.
IT'S GOING TO BE ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
CAN WE PROCEED WITH SPENDING THIS MONEY? YES. SO WE GOT TO THE WHAT? WE DIDN'T GET TO THE HOW. AND NOW WE FIND OURSELVES AS PART OF THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
OK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INDULGING ME ON THAT, GUYS.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. HELP ME TIE THOSE ENDS UP THE ONE THING I ALSO WANTED TO ADD JUST TO MAKE SURE. IF WE AS A CITY, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BUILDING, CAN YOU ELABORATE BRIEFLY ON WHAT EXACTLY THAT.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN GIVEN IN A PRESENTATION WHAT EXACTLY THAT ENTAILS.
SO BUILDING E IS A FACILITY THAT IS DUE TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON OUR CAMPUS RIGHT OUT HERE NEXT TO THE NEW ANNEX AND IN FRONT OF COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO THAT BIG GRASSY AREA.
SO BUILDING E WILL CONSIST OF TWO ENTERPRISE FUND DEPARTMENTS.
YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT THAT WILL BE OPERATING OUT OF IT.
AND WE HAVE UTILITIES, CUSTOMER SERVICE, UTILITIES.
CUSTOMER SERVICE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE FRONT ANNEX ON THE NEW PORTION OF THE CITY HALL DOWNSTAIRS.
AND BOTH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS, DUE TO INCREASE IN IN PROCESSES, ARE ESSENTIALLY EXCEEDING THEIR SPACE AND THEY NEED TO HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR WORK AREA.
SO THAT PARTICULAR BUILDING WILL BE COMPRISED AT MINIMUM OF THOSE TWO ENTERPRISE FUNDS.
AND THEN GENERAL FUND WILL ALSO HOUSE A PORTION OF THOSE OF CERTAIN DEPARTMENTS OR CERTAIN DEPARTMENTAL NEEDS IN THAT FACILITY AS WELL, MAINLY BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A FOOTPRINT PER FTE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO CONSTRUCT ON.
SO IF YOU HAVE MORE INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK IN A BUILDING, YOU CAN YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY CREATE A LARGER FOOTPRINT.
SO IT'S A MATTER OF BUILDING A TWO STORY BUILDING, BUILDING A THREE OR FOUR.
SO THAT IS ALL CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING LOOKED AT.
BUT IT WILL ESSENTIALLY BE A SORT OF A SERVICE CENTER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, FOR THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, FOR BUILDING.
SO IF ANYONE COMES IN DOING BUILDING PERMITS INSTEAD OF SORT OF BEING ALL OVER THE CITY BECAUSE OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAD TO VACATE AND THEY'RE SORT OF ACROSS THE STREET IN A WINN-DIXIE PLAZA, THEY WILL ALL BE WITHIN THAT FACILITY.
GENERAL FUND WILL HAVE OR A GENERAL FUND DOLLARS NOT CONSIDERING ERP DOLLARS WOULD HAVE A PORTION OF THAT TO FUND.
AND ALSO ON THOSE ENTERPRISE FUNDS ALSO HAVE A LIMITATION OF HOW MUCH THEY ARE ABLE TO ACTUALLY ADD TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING.
SO UTILITIES, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY CAN'T COMMIT OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE
[00:20:06]
SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING IN THAT IN THAT FACILITY.EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK IT'S POTENTIAL FUTURE GROWTH, THERE'S LIMITATIONS OF HOW MUCH THEY CAN INVEST. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY A COMBINATION OF THREE DIFFERENT FUNDS WHERE WE WILL HAVE DIFFERENT SERVICES WITHIN THAT BUILDING SO THAT WE CAN GET SORT OF ALLOW OUR DEPARTMENTS TO WORK IN SPACES THAT IS ADEQUATE FOR FOR THEIR NEEDS.
AND I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION MYSELF ABOUT THE BODY CAMS CONTRACT, YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF IT, WHETHER WE CHOOSE TO ANNOUNCE IT OVER FIVE YEARS OR TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS OR ONE LUMP SUM THAT CHANGED THE BOTTOM LINE COST, WHETHER IT'S DONE DIFFERENTLY OR NOT? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. BUT THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR PROCUREMENT.
I GOT ONE QUICK ONE, SO UTILITIES DEPARTMENT IN THEIR PRESENTATION, THEY QUOTED BUILDING ME AND THEY QUOTED IT AT I'M GOING TO ROUND UP ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
THEY QUOTED ONE POINT FIVE NINE ZERO EIGHT.
BUT ANYWAYS, ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
BUT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT DIDN'T REQUEST ANY SORT OF FUNDING FROM IT.
BUT WHAT I JUST UNDERSTOOD FROM YOUR SUMMARY IS THAT FUNDING WE'RE GOING TO NEED A LITTLE BIT OF FUNDING FROM UTILITIES, A LITTLE BIT FROM BUILDING, A LITTLE BIT FROM POTENTIALLY THE RESCUE FUNDS AND THEN A LITTLE BIT FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY. I KNOW THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY DID REQUESTED, BUT THEY MAY HAVE NOT ADDED IT TO THEIR PRESENTATION, BUT THEY DID REQUEST IT.
OK, ACTUALLY THEY PUT NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, THREE POINT THREE MILLION, WHICH WAS PROBABLY AT THE TIME. AND THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT GETTING THAT BUILDING OUT IN BAYSIDE LAKES. RIGHT. BUT THAT IDEA, HAS THAT BEEN TAKEN OUT? SO THOSE FUNDS FOR PURCHASE, THOSE HAVE BEEN MOVED IN AT THE MOMENT INTO THAT CONSTRUCTION. YES. GOT GOTCHA.
SO SO LOOKING AT BUILDING DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST AS WELL AS UTILITIES REQUEST, THAT'S WHERE THE THE NUMBERS ARE.
BOTH REQUESTS WERE MADE BEFORE WE KNEW ABOUT THE RESCUE FUNDS.
SO THE IDEA IS TO STILL THEORETICALLY TAKE FROM EACH DEPARTMENT, BUT THEN ALSO TO MAKE UP A DIFFERENCE OF SORT FROM RESCUE FUNDS, NOT TO PAY FOR THE THING ENTIRELY OUT OF THE RESCUE FUNDS. WELL, YOU WOULDN'T PAY FOR IMMATURELY, ENTIRELY OUT OF THE RESCUE FUNDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ENTERPRISE FUNDS THAT ARE OPERATING IN THAT BUILDING AND THEY HAVE TO PAY THEIR PORTION. RIGHT.
BUT THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COSTS FOR THE BUILDING IS JUST TWO MILLION.
RIGHT. OR THE BUILDING IN THE BUDGET FOR BUILDINGS IS ROUGHLY TWO MILLION OR SO, YOU MEAN CONSTRUCTING THE ENTIRE FACILITY? YES, MA'AM, NO.
SO THAT IS JUST THE GENERAL FUND PORTION THAT WE MAY UTILIZE AARON DOLLARS TOWARDS, THAT THE BUILDING ITSELF CAN RANGE ANYWHERE BETWEEN SEVEN TO NINE, DEPENDING ON HOW MANY FLOORS YOU WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT.
OK, AND WE'RE REALLY NOT SURE AT THIS POINT HOW MANY FLOORS.
I DO NOT KNOW THAT AT THIS POINT.
IT'S A QUESTION BETWEEN TWO AND THREE.
TWO AND THREE WERE LAWS, IT'S I BELIEVE IT'S A QUESTION BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR, WHETHER IT'S ALL GOING TO BE BUILT OUT TO SAVE SOME MONEY, BECAUSE YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL.
YOU CAN BUILD A FOR AND NOT BUILD AT THE TOP FLOOR AND SAVE A MILLION DOLLARS.
BUT THAT IS A DISCUSSION THAT'S HAPPENING AT BETWEEN OUR PROJECT MANAGERS AND OUR CONTRACTOR THAT WE HAVE THAT'S LOOKING TO HELP US DESIGN THE BUILDING.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO UTILIZE THE DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE IN POSSIBLY BUILDING A BUILDING WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO BUILD A FOUR STORY BUILDING WITH A TOP FLOOR NOT BUILT OUT THAN A THREE, BECAUSE IF YOU ANTICIPATE ON GROWING EVEN MORE, THEN IT'S MORE COSTLY TO ADD A FOURTH FLOOR TO A THREE STOREY BUILDING THAN IT IS TO BUILD IT OUT.
SO THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, OUR PROJECT MANAGERS AND OUR FACILITIES DIRECTOR ARE WORKING THROUGH. SO YOU OK? I APPRECIATE THAT EXTRA INSIGHT, BECAUSE WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE DECISIONS ARE MADE STRICTLY BASED UPON WHAT'S MOST, YOU KNOW, FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AS OPPOSED TO WHAT THE BUDGET IS.
RIGHT. IF SOMEHOW, SOME WAY THE PROJECT ONLY GETS A BUDGET FOR SEVEN MILLION.
OK, WELL, THEN GOING TO GO THIS WAY IF THE PROJECT GETS A BUDGET FOR NINE, BUT IT'S STILL REASONABLE TO SAY NOT DO THE FOURTH FLOOR, WHICH JUST PERSONALLY, I'M LEANING TOWARDS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUILD IT OUT.
BUT ANYWAYS, TO SCALE THAT BACK, I JUST WANT THE MOST FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE DECISION MADE INDEPENDENT OF BUDGET, LET ME PUT IT THAT WAY.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM, HOW MANY PARTS, YOU KNOW, THAT PROJECT'S GOING TO DIP INTO AND JUST TRY AND GET MY ARMS AROUND IT SO THAT I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND IT.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BOTH DEPARTMENTS JUST SPEAKING ABOUT UTILITIES AND BUILDING, THEY BOTH, YOU KNOW, HAVE VERY LOFTY GOALS, FAR EXCEEDING BUILDINGS.
SO JUST TRYING TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THAT.
SO SO THANK YOU FOR THOSE ANSWERS.
[00:25:01]
THAT HELPS ME OUT. AS FOR CLARITY, YOU DID SAY TWO OF THE FOUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS WILL BE IN THAT BUILDING AND AS UTILITIES AND BUILDING FUND, CORRECT. AS WE JUST HAVE TO ENTERPRISE FUNDS THAT WILL BE OPERATING.WHETHER FULLY OR PARTIALLY OUT OF THE BUILDING, BUT YES, THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO FUNDS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING. THANK YOU.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THE TIME OR ANY CLARITY ON ANY THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD OR. TO ME, GO AHEAD.
OH, IT WAS CONFUSING, BUT I BELIEVE THAT A BUDGET HAD BEEN PREPARED BASED ON THE CURRENT ALLITERATE. NO, SO WE ALWAYS PREPARE OUR BUDGET ON THE THREE PERCENT CAP RATE, WHICH IS SEVEN POINT FIVE NINE NINE FIVE, BUT WE MOVE INTO THE TENTATIVE MILLAGE PROCESS WITH THE CURRENT RATE OF SEVEN POINT EIGHT THREE SEVEN EIGHT.
AND THAT'S A COMMON PRACTICE TO DO, IS THAT YOU MOVE INTO THE MILITARY PREPARATION OR THE TRUTH IN MILEAGE OR THE TRIM PROCESS, AS THEY CALL IT, IN THE MONTH OF JUNE OR JULY WITH A HIGHER RATE AND BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OR GO DOWN.
BUT THE BUDGET THAT I PREPARE IS PREPARED ON THE THREE PERCENT CAP.
SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PREPARED.
NO. SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN, THOUGH, IS THIS, THAT WE DO HAVE STATE SHARED REVENUES, THAT SOME OF THEM HAVE NOT COME IN YET.
AND I AND ONCE I PREPARE THE BUDGET, WHICH IS DUE TO GO OUT IN NEXT TUESDAY, IF THERE ARE ANY REVISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE AFTER THAT, I JUST MAKE CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED.
AND THEN THAT'S WHAT I DISCLOSE WHEN AND WHEN I GO INTO THE APPROVED BUDGET PROCESS.
SO HYPOTHETICALLY, IF YOU HAVE A REDUCTION IN YOUR STATE, SHARED REVENUES, THEN YOU HAVE TO REDUCE SOMEWHERE. AND SO THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF CHANGES OR IF THEY STAY TRUE TO REVENUES COMING A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AND THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS THAT CAN BE SPENT, THEN THOSE ARE DISCUSSIONS WHERE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPROVE SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO APPROVE FOR.
AND THEN THOSE ARE ALL PUBLISHED AS A PROPOSAL WITH CHANGES AND THEN IT'S OFFICIALLY ADOPTED IN SEPTEMBER.
UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY THEN, IF THAT BUDGET HAS BEEN PREPARED.
THE DEPARTMENTS GET NOTIFIED, BASICALLY, THAT IS THE SAME.
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARILY THE SAME BUDGET, SO JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING A THREE PERCENT, THERE ARE INCREASES.
SO WHAT I DO IS ONCE I PREPARE THE BUDGET AND I OFFICIALLY PUBLISH IT, WHICH IS ON TUESDAY, IT GETS OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED TO THOSE DEPARTMENTS AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I WORK WITH IN EACH DEPARTMENT AND THEY'RE NOTIFIED OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BASE BUDGET IF YOU HAD TO MAKE ANY CUTS.
IF THERE IS ANY PROPOSED ITEMS OUT OF THAT WHOLE WISH LIST THAT WE ARE ABLE TO INCLUDE OR THAT WE'VE INCLUDED IN THAT PROPOSED, THEN I DISCLOSE THAT AS WELL.
HOWEVER, THE BUDGET IS NOT OFFICIALLY ADOPTED UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
SO EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY GET EXCITED THAT SOMETHING IS INCLUDED, IT CANNOT.
IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY AN APPROVED DOCUMENT UNTIL THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING IN SEPTEMBER.
OH. SO TUESDAY, WHEN THAT COMES OUT, IT WILL HAVE BEEN DECIDED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT.
CHANGES FROM THE PRIOR YEAR'S BUDGET, ARTMAN HEADS WILL BE.
IRISH BUDGET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, SO WE PREPARE A BRAND NEW BUDGET.
SO LAST YEAR'S BUDGET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
AND WHAT THEY COMPARE IT TO IS THE REQUESTED.
AND ANY CHANGES? REQUEST. YEAH, I MEAN, I SO SO THEY ACTUALLY PREPARE THEIR BASE BUDGET, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IS THIS I WORK WITH EACH DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE ABOUT FOUR MONTHS WHERE THEY PREPARE THEIR OPERATING BUDGET.
I DO ALL PERSONNEL AND WE DO CAPITAL.
AND WHEN I DO DISCLOSE THE PROPOSED, I LET THEM KNOW IF ANY ITEMS HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
SO IT'S NOT THAT I JUST GIVE THEM THE BUDGET, BUT I DO WORK WITH I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I WORK WITH AND I LET THEM KNOW ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN TENTATIVELY INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.
I WORK WITH OUR I.T. DEPARTMENT.
I LET THEM KNOW IF ANY PERSONNEL IMPACTING ITEMS IMPACTS THEIR DEPARTMENT.
[00:30:03]
I WORK WITH FLEET I LIKE THEM TO BE GETTING SO I DON'T JUST PUBLISH IT.I WORK PRETTY DETAILED WITH THE DEPARTMENTS, GIVING THEM A HEADS UP OF, YOU KNOW, IF THINGS STAY THE SAME, THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE ADOPTING IN IN SEPTEMBER.
SO THEY CAN ALSO GET PREPARED A LITTLE BIT.
THE ON THIS BOARD AND HAVE NOT SEEN THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT EACH OF.
HURTIN' AND. YOU KNOW, SO, SO WELL THAT.
WELL, YOU SAW THAT IN THE PRESENTATION, SO THE THAT WHEN I DID THE PRESENTATION AND WHEN WE DID THE PRESENTATION WORKSHOP WITH COUNCIL, THAT IS WHAT THE DEPARTMENT SUBMITTED.
SO YOU YOU WON'T SEE DETAILED LINE ITEMS THAT I MEAN, WE HAVE.
WITHOUT THOUSAND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS, THERE'S NOT, YOU KNOW, SO SO THE DEPARTMENTS PREPARE THAT BASE BUDGET AND IF I POTENTIALLY SEE THAT THEIR CUTS HAVE TO BE MADE, THEN I RUN THROUGH A MOCK UP HYPOTHETICAL EXERCISE WITH THEM WHERE I SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, IN CASE WE HAVE TO CUT BY 10 PERCENT, STATURES COME DOWN.
WHERE DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD CUT FUNDING AT? IN WHAT ACCOUNTS? SO IT'S NOT THAT I GO IN AND I JUST SAY 10 PERCENT OFF THE TOP.
SO I WORK WITH THOSE DEPARTMENTS.
BUT THAT'S DONE WELL AHEAD OF TIME OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET JUST WHEN I BECAUSE I DO KIND OF GET THE FEEL OF WHAT WE ANTICIPATE ON WITH STATE SHARED REVENUE.
SO IF I SEE THAT THERE'S A MAJOR DECLINE HAPPENING, THEN USUALLY WE MOVE INTO ACTION AND WE KIND OF WORK WITH THOSE DEPARTMENTS.
BUT YEAH. RIGHTY, I'M GOING TO SAY LET'S KIND OF MOVE ON AND MOVE TO OUR I'M A.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE AS A WORD TO.
BASICALLY, WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY ONE POINT, I MEAN, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FUNDS NOW.
IT'S NOT TO SAY THIS WAS EVEN BROUGHT UP AT THE COUNCIL MEETING, MAYBE SOME THINGS IT PULLED DOWN TO ALLOCATE SOME THINGS THAT ARE MIGHT BE VIEWED AS FAIRLY.
AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY, I THINK WE MIGHT ALL STRESS AS IMPORTANT ITEMS. NOW, WE WERE JUST RECENTLY TALKING ABOUT THESE FUNDS COMING IN REGARDING.
REVENUE LOSS CATEGORY, THE FOUR POINT EIGHT.
SARAH, PERSONALLY, I THINK DEFINITELY THAT.
I THINK SYSTEM I, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT, DEFINITELY, BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MULTIPLE HAVE SPOKEN OF.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THE ENTIRE BODY CAM PURCHASE.
AND THEN PERSONALLY, THIS MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND I'M SHARING IT FOR DISCUSSION GUYS INPUT. PUT WHATEVER REMAINING IN THAT FUND TOWARD BUILDING.
THAT'S BUILDING HE DEFINITELY.
YES, THIS IS COMING FROM LOSS OF REVENUE.
NOTHING IS US AS A CITY EXCEPT.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT SHOULD COME OUT OF.
SO FOCUSED THESE FUNDS MORE SO TAKING CARE OF THE BODY GETS TAKING CARE THAT.
THE TERM SAFETY AND SECURITY ITEMS PRIMARILY TAKE CARE OF THAT FIRST.
ALL AND LEFT AND SO BE IT, BUT THAT BUILDING.
OH, NO, I JUST DEFINITELY WANT TO STEER THE CONVERSATION TOWARDS US COMING UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION. BUT TO COUNSEL IN REGARDS TO MOVING FORWARD WITH THE BUDGET, HOW WE LOOK AT THE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS, DO WE SAY SOME THINGS OFF AND TO ALLOCATE SOME OF THESE PURCHASES? I'LL QUICKLY GO AND SHARE MY SIX ITEMS OUTSIDE OF WHAT I JUST ADDRESSED, MY SIX ITEMS THAT I VIEW AS.
NECESSARY TO ADDRESS WHETHER IT GETS FULLY FUNDED OR NOT, THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE, ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND. HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO BE PUSHING THAT ALL? RIGHT NOW, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THERE'S ZERO ALLOCATED.
CITIZENS VOTED TO PAY FOR THAT 150000 BOND UNDER FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.
LET ME CORRECT THAT REAL QUICKLY, 150 MILLION DOLLAR BOND, BUT WE'RE NOT PUTTING ANYTHING TO TAKE CARE OF IT, MAKE SURE IT LAST A FULL LIFE EXPECTANCY THAT WE'VE GOT.
HE'S GOING BACK TO THAT TOPIC, ADDITIONAL OFFICERS WERE SLATED VEHICLES.
FIRE HAD FOUR NEW POSITIONS ASKING FOR IN THE AIR PACK BOTTLES.
AND THEN I WOULD SAY MY LAST HIGH PRIORITY IS THE IT SECURITY SOLUTION EXPANSION.
[00:35:02]
REALLY IMPORTANT, I'M NOT TO BELITTLE ANY OF THE OTHER REQUEST.I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HEAR YOUR GUYS INPUT AND.
OR AS THOSE BEING PRIORITIES OR WHAT YOU VIEW, IF YOU DO SOMETHING ELSE, I MEAN, LET'S OPEN IT UP.
I MEAN, I LISTEN TO ALL OF THIS, ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS, AND I THINK THAT WHAT WAS PRESENTED IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY NEEDED.
I THINK JUST LIKE IN ANY HOUSEHOLD, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BUDGET AROUND.
WE HAVE TO MAKE CUTS. WE HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES.
AND SO IF WE ONLY HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND NEW FUNDS, I THINK WE CAN LOOK AT SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT.
MAYBE. THERE CAN BE SOME CUTS, AND SO THE ONE I WOULD LOOK AT IS PROCUREMENT, AND THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE THEY PRESENT IT TO US AND THIS AT THIS DYSPORT ABOUT A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MONEY THEY SPEND IN MARKETING AND LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE HERE AND WHAT IT IS THEY DO. BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S AN AREA FOR SOME CUTS.
I WOULD LOOK AT PROCUREMENT AND I WOULD LOOK AT SOME OF THE THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY HAVE. I'M LOOKING FOR THEIR REPORT RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON MARKETING.
AND IN TERMS OF LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE, THERE'S A LOT OF ONLINE WAYS YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON HAVING LIVE EVENTS, YOU KNOW, SHOWS IN PLACES IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY I BELIEVE THEY SAID THEY GO OUT AND THEY DO PRESENTATIONS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
AND SOME OF THE AREAS IN PROCUREMENT, I DON'T THINK IT'LL BRING YOU A LOT OF MONEY.
BUT I, I THINK THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SAID ABOUT THAT.
AND SOON AS I FIND THE PRESENTATION, I'LL BE MORE SPECIFIC.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID THEY NEED, SO WHATEVER CAN BE FUNDED IS WHAT CAN BE FUNDED AND WHATEVER CAN'T, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE ANGELA PRESENTED, YOU KNOW, SHE TALKS TO THE DEPARTMENT, SHE WORKS IT OUT.
IF THEY CAN'T GET EVERYTHING, THEY CAN PRIORITIZE ON WHAT WHAT THEY CAN GET THIS YEAR.
AND I JUST THINK HAS BEEN HARD THE LAST FEW YEARS FOR NOT JUST THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BUT I THINK FAMILIES AND RESIDENT PEOPLE, THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY HAVE ALSO BEEN THROUGH A STRUGGLE THESE LAST TWO YEARS.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE JUST DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN.
AND MY MY AREA THAT I'M LOOKING AT IS IN PROCUREMENT.
I'LL SHARE WITH YOU, I JUST PULLED IT UP RIGHT HERE DOING THE MARKET RESEARCH, BUT THEY NOTED WHERE THE COST WHERE THE COST OF THE MATERIALS BASICALLY.
YOU'LL SEE IF THERE IS ANY FUEL COST TO GET TO AND FROM AN EVENT.
THERE ALSO THEY WERE ASKING FOR THE VENDOR LINK.
MOVING TOWARDS THE E-PROCUREMENT SUBMISSION OPTION, THAT'S 2500 DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
WANTED TO SHARE THAT. WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE FIELD EVENTS, THE COST OF IT IS SIMPLY JUST THE COST OF THE MATERIALS THAT WOULD BE.
OK, SO THERE WAS NO VERY, VERY MINIMAL COST OF JUST MATERIAL PRINTED.
I DON'T THINK IS A LOT OF MONEY THERE, BUT YEAH, SO THAT WOULDN'T REALLY DO MUCH WITH EVERYTHING ELSE TO ME.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT THE DEPARTMENTS NEED.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SHOULD REPORT THAT AND HAVE HAS TO BE CUT.
I THINK THE DEPARTMENT'S IN THE PROCESS.
THEY GET A CHANCE TO PRIORITIZE AND REORGANIZE AND DECIDE, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR THEM.
SENSING SILENCE HERE, I WANT US TO.
MOVE TOWARDS. I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THIS, EITHER IT'S.
RECOMMENDATION IS FOLLOW THE DIRECTION OF STAFF, WHETHER IT'S.
WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU SHOW SERN AND DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THESE SPECIFIC ITEMS TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO BE CREATIVE FUNDING.
AND I HOWEVER BUT I DON'T I DON'T.
I DON'T WANT TO JUST SAY AND I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE,
[00:40:02]
BUT I WANT TO JUST SAY THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THEIR PRIORITY LIST AND THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT. IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A BOARD TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF OUR.THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WANT THIS CONVERSATION TO GO.
AGAIN, I STRESS WE'RE ALL ADULTS HERE.
WE'RE. JUST KIND OF HASH THIS OUT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH RECOMMENDATION AS A BOARD MEMBER.
THANK YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST THOUGHT SITTING ON THIS BOARD.
WE DO NEED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.
SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT AGAIN.
AND OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE BEING STRANGELY QUIET OVER THERE.
I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT'S BREWING IN THAT MIND.
WELL, MR. CHAIR, I'LL I'LL SHARE WITH YOU THAT WHERE I'M LEANING RIGHT NOW IS THAT MY MY ONLY RECOMMENDATION IS REALLY ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT MS. CLINKSCALES SAYS IS PROCEDURALLY THE BIG WORD OF THE NIGHT.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO SPEND ONE HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE MILLIONS AMONG 14 DEPARTMENTS WORTH OF REQUESTS, BUT I THINK THAT MY STANCE ON THINGS AND WHAT I SHARED AT THE LAST MEETING AND WHAT I SHARED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING WHEN I SHARED MY TAKE ON WHAT WE SHOULD DO WITH THE MILITARY AND EVERYTHING IN MY STANCE IS THAT WE SHOULD STAY WITHIN OUR THREE PERCENT CAP THIS YEAR, WHICH WILL CREATE A I DON'T WANT TO SAY A SHORTFALL, BUT IT WILL CREATE A SITUATION THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR WIGGLE ROOM AND EXPANSION IN THE BUDGET.
SO THAT WOULD SET A THEME FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT COUNCILMAN BAILEY SPOKE TO IN LOOKING FOR WAYS TO TRIM THINGS, TRIM EXPENSES IN ORDER TO FREE UP SOME SOME FUNDS.
I THINK THAT AS THE FISCAL YEAR GOES ON AND AS THE PLANNING FOR THE FISCAL YEAR GOES ON, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE OUR INCREASED REVENUE STREAMS, WHETHER, YOU KNOW, WE SPOKE TO THE RESCUE FUNDS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.
AND I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR AS THOSE DEPARTMENTS ARE, YOU KNOW, I'LL USE THE WORD LUCKY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET SOME FUNDING THROUGH THE RESCUE PROGRAM TO THEN ALLOCATE WITHIN THEIR DEPARTMENT AND THINGS OF THE SORT.
BUT I REALLY I CAN'T GO LINE ITEM BY LINE ITEM AND SAY, OK, THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD SPEND UP ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND, BECAUSE AS I SHARED POLICE AND FIRE MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITIES AS FAR AS PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY AND WHERE WITHIN ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND I COULD SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, THE 30 AIRPARK BOTTLES AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS ARE ONLY THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND BY THOSE.
YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE EVEN EVEN TO GET MORE POLICE OFFICERS IS ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
SO THEORETICALLY SPEAKING HERE, I COULD SAY, OK, GET THREE OUT OF THE 12 AND THEN THE MONEY IS GONE. SO I REALLY CAN'T YOU KNOW, I CAN'T PRESENT A HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR PLAN THAT I WOULD, YOU KNOW, MOVE TO HAVE THIS BOARD APPROVE IN US LATER ON, SAID THE COUNCIL.
I THINK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE SITTING HERE ON THIS BOARD, THIS BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD, MY ADVICE TO COUNCIL AND STAFF IS TO USE FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO RIGHT THE SHIP.
AND I SAY THAT IN SAYING WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO IT WITH A BUDGET THAT'S GOING TO HAVE OUR BILLS PAID AND WE'RE FORTUNATE FOR THAT.
BUT AS FAR AS EXPANSION GOES, I CONTINUE TO TO FIND AND FORGIVE THE EXPRESSION, BUT CONTINUE TO TRIM THE FAT, CONTINUE TO TO STRIVE TO BECOME LEAN OPERATIONS FROM A FISCAL PERSPECTIVE. AND THEN AS FUNDS DO PRESENT THEMSELVES AND MOVE TO THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR, WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THOSE FUNDS COMING IN. WE'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER ADVISE, COUNSEL AND INDIRECTLY STAFF ON WHAT THEY SHOULD DO.
BUT AS FAR AS RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S THERE'S A CLEAR PATH, YOU KNOW, TO THAT. I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BRING IT ALL FULL CIRCLE.
THE ONLY ADVICE I CAN SAY IS THAT WE NEED TO WE NEED TO REALLY TAKE A GOOD, HARD LOOK AS WE MOVE THROUGHOUT THE FISCAL YEAR TO FIND AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE AS IT STANDS, GRANTED, COUNCIL DOES KEEP THE MILITARY AT OUR THREE PERCENT CAP.
THERE WILL NOT BE FOR CONVERSATION'S SAKE, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE INCREMENTAL FUNDING.
I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE THAT HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND AND.
GENERAL FUND, I MEAN, EACH DEPARTMENT HAS TO FIGURE THINGS OUT AND I SIMPLY CAN'T TAKE A STANCE TO I WOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO FULLY FUND.
EITHER ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITY DEPARTMENTS, SO I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW WHAT MY TOP PRIORITY IS BECAUSE I'M OVER BUDGET, FRANKLY.
SO MY BIG PRIORITY IS TO FIND MONEY.
THAT'S WHAT WAS GOKHAN. I'M SUSAN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT.
[00:45:12]
LIKE. JINDAL HAS SAID IN THAT.HAVING ANOTHER STUDY, WE HAVE A CURRENT STUDY.
THEN THERE WILL BE ANOTHER STUDY.
OR NOT, AND I THINK PART OF OUR RECOMMENDATION.
THE SHORT TERM, WHAT I SEE IS THAT THERE IS A.
MONEYS THAT ARE COMING IN AND ALSO AND APARTMENTS TO LOOK ELSE IN TERMS OF GRANTS OR SOURCES OF FUNDING.
OH, UH, I THINK THE DEPARTMENT AT OUR HIGH PRIORITY OR FITTING IN TO GRANTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE SEEMS TO BE SAFETY, CYBERSECURITY.
AND. THERE IS SOME I KNOW RECENTLY THAT WAS.
AND SHERMAN SAID THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS GOING TO BE AN ELECTRIC CAR AND ELECTRIC CHARGING STATION.
SO I KNOW THERE IS FUNDING AVAILABLE IN CERTAIN OF THE AREAS, THOUGH, AND CERTAINLY I THINK IT'S WARM.
OUR ORDER HERE AS WELL, CITY COUNCIL AND ALL THE DEPARTMENTS THAT AND PRIOR FUNDING OF POLICE AND FIRE HAVE BEEN.
OF OUR BUDGET AND I THINK A TWO TERMS OF OUTSIDE FUNDING AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND.
FINANCIAL OR A MOST? WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR THE COUNCIL IS MOVE ON TO OTHER PRIORITY.
THE ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE THOUSAND.
RESOURCE. AND PARKS AND RECREATION, I REMEMBER.
AND I THINK THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS TO HAVE LESS LIKELIHOOD OF AN.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS, I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY, I'M SITTING HERE TYPING UP, TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER, SOMETHING OF A STATEMENT, SOME AT LAST TIME, BUT I'M JUST.
PUTTING TOGETHER COMMENTS THAT I'VE HEARD AND I'M JUST GOING TO ASK IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE I WANT TO READ WHAT I'VE BEEN TYPING.
I AM FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, I HAVE TAIPING AGAIN, THIS IS JUST STRICTLY FOR US TO HASH OUT CHANGE. HOWEVER, WE LIKE IT ON THE FLY HERE.
ITS RECOMMENDATION OF THE COUNCIL MOVES FORWARD WITH LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL WAYS TO FIND FUNDING THROUGH WAYS OF TRIMMING AND GRANTS TO SATISFY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
WITH THE NEW FUNDS WE DO HAVE, WE SUGGEST THE COUNCIL AND STAFF LOOK TO MAKE IT STRETCHED OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
OBVIOUSLY, THEY NEED TO WORK ON THE WORDING, ADDITIONALLY, IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION TO USE THIS UPCOMING YEAR TO START LOOKING NOW TO RIGHT THE SHIP OF OUR BUDGET, AS WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE MULTIPLE NEEDS, MULTIPLE NEEDS THAT.
THAT. I'M MAKING THAT UP AS WE'VE BEEN SITTING HERE TALKING.
[00:50:11]
PLEASE, I MEAN, IT'S HORRIBLE, I MEAN SOMETHING.I MEAN, I THINK IT DOES CAPTURE WHAT WE SAY.
I DON'T KNOW THIS TIME PERIOD THAT WE ARE IN, YOU KNOW, IN THIS DAY AND TIME, IT'S JUST AS WE WERE. IT IS, YOU KNOW. I THINK IT CAPTURES WHAT WE WE HAVE SET UP THIS THING, YOU KNOW, ROMANTICALLY, WE'LL PUT IT TOGETHER AS A STATEMENT BY.
MATT. LET ME BE YOUR SOURCE FOR CLARITY, SO WE ONLY VOTE OR MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON ANY DISCRETIONARY FUNDING, WE OCHOLA WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THE BUDGET AS IT HIRED.
TRADITIONALLY, WE KNEW THE REQUEST FOR NEW ITEMS. TRADITIONALLY, WE FOCUS ON THE GROWTH OF THE REVENUE VERSUS LAST FROM.
WE'VE NEVER NOT SAY IT WOULD BE A BAD IDEA, BUT WE HAVE NOT GONE BACK AND LOOKED TO ASSESS INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS EFFICIENCY.
YOU'VE NOT. MAYBE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRIMMING.
DEFINITELY WOULD NOT BE A BAD SUGGESTION AT ALL.
SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T DONE. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
LOOK. I'LL JUST TELL YOU, AS I HELP RUN OUR ATHLETIC BUDGET, MUCH SMALLER NUMBERS, OBVIOUSLY, AT A HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A NUMBER THAT, AS RANDLE'S AND I COUNT BY OUR DEPARTMENT IS UP AROUND. LET'S SAY I HAVE THIS MUCH.
I MEAN, FOR MY FRIENDS, IT'S ALMOST LIKE SELLING THESE APARTMENTS A SLAP IN THE FACE, BUT THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. YOU WANT TO PUT IT? IT'S A BUMMER, IT'S HARD.
THIS IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A HARD PROCESS FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN VOTING ON THIS.
OH, YES, IT'S IT'S STILL STILL A LOT OF MONEY, BUT I'LL DEFINITELY, TO ALL OF US, JUST SHORT OF 150000 DOLLARS, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AS FAR AS LIKE TALKING ABOUT BODY CAMS. THAT'S ONE POINT SIX MILLION.
WE'RE. WORKING WITH A VERY LITTLE BIT.
SHIG, I THINK IT MIGHT BE RIGHT AT OR VEHICLES OR POLICE CARS, IF YOU WANT TO GO.
ROUGH NUMBERS THERE, BUT I MEAN, AGAIN, IT'S JUST.
IT'S HARD TO GO INTO THIS AND STRETCH IN THAT NO.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH A STATEMENT OF SOMETHING, JUST SAYING, HEY, STRETCH WHAT WE CAN DO, THE BEST WE CAN USE THIS YEAR TO TRY AND FIND WAYS TO RIGHT THE SHIP OR. IT'S BLUNT BLUNTLY BY THE STATE, VERY TRIM THAT STATEMENT DOWN TO THAT YOU'RE THE BEST YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU GOT AND USE THIS YEAR TO RIGHT THE SHIP.
IN TERMS OF RIGHT, THE SHIP MIGHT WANT TO.
MARK. IT MEANS REALLY LOOKING AT.
AND. I'M BEGINNING TO THINK, LIKE RANDALL SAID, MAYBE THIS AS A STATEMENT OF IMPOSSIBILITY OF.
THANK. AND A RECOMMENDATION AT.
[00:55:18]
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT ANNUALLY THAT.WHAT IS NEW MONEY LOOK LIKE ANNUALLY? I MEAN, WE'RE SAYING ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE THOUSAND, BUT WHAT IS IT TYPICALLY ON A IN A GOOD TIME? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I WAS JUST FOR THE PAST OR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
AS A COUPLE OF YEARS, IT'S BEEN AROUND ONE POINT FIVE TO ONE POINT EIGHT.
NOW, OH, YES, YES, I HAVE ONE POINT EIGHT MILLION I KNOW THIS YEAR IS EVEN MORE THAN THAT PRIOR TO THE ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURES THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED YET.
SO GENERALLY, THAT'S THE REALM THAT YOU USUALLY LOOK AT, IS THAT BETWEEN SOMETIMES ONE POINT, ONE TO ONE POINT FIVE, ALL DEPENDING ON WHAT THE VALUATIONS FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE ARE, ALL DEPENDING ON WHAT THE FINAL STATE SHARED REVENUES ARE.
BUT USUALLY THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, ALLOCATING FISCAL YEAR TWENTY ONE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY IN.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO TO GIVE US.
SO JUST BECAUSE STATES HAD REVENUES, WHICH IS THE OTHER SOURCE IN THE GENERAL FUND AT SUCH A DRASTIC FALL THAT IT ABSORBED ANY OF THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GENERATE FROM THE PROPERTY VALUATIONS THAT COME IN.
YEAH. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT WE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS, GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO TWEAK YOUR STATEMENT GRAMMATICALLY, WHAT HAVE YOU, AND THEN YOU'D BE ABLE TO READ IT BACK AND WE'D BE ABLE TO MAKE A MOTION TO EITHER AMEND IT, AS STATED OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
AND THEN THEN WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT AND TO VOTE ON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? I DEFINITELY LIKE THE IDEA AND SIMPLY JUST CALL FOR ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS, I.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO CALL US BACK.
JUST SOME WORDS AND SENTENCES OF THIS STATEMENT AND.
I'M GOING TO READ OUT, FIRST OF ALL, TO HAVE ON RECORD AND SEE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK IF YOU WANT TO ALTER FURTHER.
IS RECOMMENDATION AS COUNCILMAN MOVES FORWARD WITH LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL WAYS TO FIND FUNDING WITH DEPARTMENT EVALUATION AND ADDITIONAL GRANTS TO SATISFY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE NEW FUNDS. WE DO HAVE, WE SUGGEST, A COUNCIL PLACE IN A GENERAL FUND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT FOR A RISING NEEDS THROUGH THE YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY, IT'S THE RECOMMENDATION TO USE THIS UPCOMING YEAR TO START LOOKING NOW TO FIND WAYS TO ADEQUATELY MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE CITY.
AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I THINK THAT IT SOUNDS JUST RIGHT, SO SO IT LIVES SUGGESTING ANY RECOMMENDATION. CAN I ASK YOU TO JUST SAY IT BACK VERBATIM ONE MORE TIME? NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COUNCIL MOVES FORWARD WITH LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL WAYS TO FIND FUNDING WITH DEPARTMENT EVALUATION AND ADDITIONAL GRANTS TO SATISFY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE NEW FUNDS WE DO HAVE.
WE SUGGEST THE COUNCIL PLACE IT IN THE GENERAL FUND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT FOR A RISING NEEDS THROUGH THE YEAR.
MIGHT CHANGE THAT TO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ADDITIONALLY, IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION TO USE THIS UPCOMING YEAR TO START LOOKING NOW TO FIND WAYS TO ADEQUATELY MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE CITY, MR., I MAKE A MOTION TO SEND THE RECOMMENDATION AS STATED.
A SECOND. WITH THE MOTION AND A SECOND, I'LL ASK, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? AND A DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SAY NEW FUNDS, YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE THOUSAND. I MEAN, THAT MAKES A POINT.
SMALL AMOUNT, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT IDEAL AMOUNT.
THE ACTUAL NUMBER. MR. RANDALL, WOULD YOU? ADD THAT TO YOUR MOTION.
[01:00:06]
149 THOUSAND WE DO HAVE WE SUGGEST THAT NOT.THAT'S TO SAY THE FULL SENTENCE BACK MR. IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COUNCIL MOVE FORWARD WITH LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL WAYS TO FIND FUNDING, THE DEPARTMENT OF VALUATION AND ADDITIONAL GRANTS TO SATISFY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE NEW FUNDS OF APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WE DO HAVE, WE SUGGEST, THE COUNCIL PLACE IN A GENERAL FUND TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT FOR A RISING NEEDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY, AS A RECOMMENDATION TO USE THE UPCOMING YEAR TO START LOOKING NOW TO FIND WAYS TO ADEQUATELY MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE CITY.
YES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, MR. CHAIR, I WOULD MODIFY MY MOTION TO SAY I MOVE TO SEND YOUR RECOMMENDATION AS READ JUST NOW. GIVE IT THAT.
OUR SECOND. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT, WITH EMOTION IN THE SECOND OUT, CALL FOR ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT BEING THE RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL, SAY AY AY AY THOSE.

AARON ANGELICA. I MEAN, THIS IS ESPECIALLY IN OUR SITUATION, IT'S NOT A FUN TOPIC.
I FIND IT EXTREMELY INTERESTING AND INTRIGUING PERSONALLY, BECAUSE IT'S A CHALLENGE I LOVE CHALLENGES MYSELF.
WILLING TO BE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER, EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE DIFFERENCES, OPINIONS INDIVIDUALLY, AND THAT'S THE KEY, HAVING DIFFERENCES, OPINIONS, BUT STILL BEING ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND GET TO A GOAL.
