[CALL TO ORDER:]
[00:00:03]
PLEASE HAVE A SEAT. WE'RE ABOUT TO START OUR WORKSHOP. I'M GOING TO CALL OUR WORKSHOP TO ORDER TERRY ROLL CALL. MAYOR CAPOTE. HERE. DEPUTY MAYOR ANDERSON. HERE.
COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO. HERE. COUNCILMAN BAILEY. HERE. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON. HERE.
MRS. MORRELL. HERE. MRS. SMITH. OK. USUALLY WE WORKSHOP WE LEAVE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS TO THE END DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THAT. UNLESS ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WANTS TO SPEAK NOW IF THEY SPEAK NOW THEN IT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING BUT WE'LL LEAVE IT TO THE END. WE'LL GOING TO HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THE BUSINESS THE MID-YEAR REVIEW OF
[1. Mid-year review of the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget.]
THE FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 BUDGET AND DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020. AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR CITY MANAGER LISA MORRELL. THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS OF PUBLIC. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING WHERE WE ARE IN THE BUDGET FOR 2019 AND WHAT THE FRAMEWORK AND THE PRELIMINARY OUTLOOK IS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020. IF YOU'LL JUST GIVE ME A MOMENT TO THANK STAFF AND FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR PRESENTATION AND INFORMATION AND THE TIME THEY SPENT WITH THE CITIZEN ADVISORY BOARDS AND PREPARING THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR AND GOING THROUGH THE YEAR END ESTIMATES. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO STAFF AND NOT FORGET AT THE END OF MEETING. THANK YOU. SEAN CAN YOU BRING UP THE PRESENTATION. JUST FOR THE AGENDA FOR THIS EVENING SO WE WILL COVER THE GENERAL FUND TO CURRENT AND HISTORICAL FUND BALANCES. WE WILL REVIEW THE FY 2019 REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES THE FY 20 BASE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE BUDGETS. THE FY 2020 DEPARTMENT REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING. AND WE WILL LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL AND PRELIMINARY TAXABLE VALUES. WE ALSO LOOK AT THE 2019 AD VALOREM TAX RATE OPTIONS, ANY PENDING ITEMS, AND THEN COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING THE FY 20 PROPOSED BUDGET AS PRESENTED TONIGHT.SO TO START OUR GENERAL FUND BALANCE WE HAVE A 10 YEAR HISTORY AND THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF OUR FUND BALANCES FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. SO LOOKING AT THE TOTAL FUND BALANCE OF 14 MILLION THAT POLICY ASSIGNED THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN UNASSIGNED BALANCE OF ELEVEN MILLION BECAUSE YOU HAD SOME ENCUMBRANCES AND ROLLOVERS THOSE ARE [INAUDIBLE] IN THREE POINT TWO MILLION IN THE FIRST COLUMN. THE FOUR MILLION THERE IS ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACT FOR A DEBT BOND FOR HONEYWELL PERFORMANCE CONTRACT FOR THE ENERGY SO THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE THERE. AS FAR AS FUND BALANCE AND BASED ON YOUR RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY 2011-34 SO YOUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IS SIX POINT TWO FOUR MILLION DOLLARS WHICH IS BY POLICY 10 PERCENT. STAFF WOULD CONSIDER THAT COUNCIL MAY CONSIDER RAISING THAT 10 PERCENT MINIMUM TO A 15 PERCENT MINIMUM SO YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE RESERVE FUNDING. AND YOU'RE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE WHICH IS THE BALANCE THAT EXCEEDS YOUR MINIMUM REQUIRED FUND BALANCE. THIS IS NOT CASH.
THIS IS ALL YOUR ASSETS LIABILITIES AND OTHERWISE AND CASH ON HAND BUT AS ALL OF THAT WRAPPED UP INTO ONE SO ITS VALUE THAT'S YOU'D BY BOND AND CREDITORS TO VALUE YOUR YOUR CURRENT SITUATION FINANCIALLY. MISSING FROM THIS IS OUR FEMA [INAUDIBLE] TWO POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS THAT'S OUTSTANDING. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL THE STATE IS WAITING FOR THAT FEDERAL RELEASE. THESE ARE ALSO MENTIONED IN YOUR [INAUDIBLE] ON PAGE 25 FOR THE REPORT YOU RECEIVED TWO WEEKS AGO. THE OTHER THING THAT I WANT TO MENTION IN YOU'RE ON A [INAUDIBLE] BALANCE BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO MEET THE ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND OF SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR ACTUALLY YOUR ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND IS IT POSSIBLY THAT COUNCIL WOULD CONSIDER ADOPTING ADDITIONAL POLICY IN THIS AREA ARENA TO ALLOCATE ONE POINT FIVE OR TWO MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF THE UNFUNDED UNASSIGNED BALANCE SO THAT YOU HAVE THAT POLICY SETS NOT SITTING IN A REVENUE OR EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT BUT IT'S SETTING IN A FUND BALANCE AND POLICY NOT TO TOUCH AS YOU GO FORWARD EVERY YEAR SO YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY ALLOCATING CASH SO THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY JUST HOLDING THOSE FUNDS FOR A LATER DATE WHEN YOU NEED IT AND THEN MOVE IT OUT BECAUSE YOU WILL CONTINUALLY HAVE SOME RESERVE BUILD UP HERE. MOVING ON TO YOUR 2019 GENERAL FUND REVENUES JUST GO THROUGH SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES OR SOME HIGHLIGHTS. WE'LL GO THROUGH ALL THE LINE ITEMS HERE BECAUSE YOU KIND OF SEE THESE IN THE BASE BUDGET BUT THESE ARE THE YEAR END ESTIMATES.
YOUR PROPERTY TAXES OBVIOUSLY THE FY 19 ADJUSTED BUDGET OF THIRTY ONE MILLION WE ANTICIPATE YEAR END ESTIMATES AT 31 8. IT'S A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE. WE STILL ARE COLLECTING SOME BUT IT WAS PROJECTED AND IT'S EXCEEDED THAT A LITTLE BIT.
AS YOU GO THROUGH THE SALES TAX USE [INAUDIBLE] TAX THAT WENT UP A LITTLE BIT BUT YOUR
[00:05:01]
FRANCHISE FEES WERE BUDGETED A LITTLE BIT KIND OF EQUATING FIFTY FIVE POINT SIX FOUR FIVE TO FIVE POINT SIX THREE THREE SO PRETTY EVEN THERE BUT A LITTLE LOSS.A LITTLE LOWER IN THE UTILITY [INAUDIBLE] TAXES COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE TAX WAS UP A LITTLE BIT TWO POINT SIX ONE. REALLY A NULL CHANGE IN THE LICENSE AND PERMIT FEES.
INTERGOVERNMENT HAS A FOOTNOTE OF 2. THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S A FEMA REIMBURSEMENT AS YOU NOTED IN FY 18 IT WAS 14 MILLION AND NOW IT'S 12 SO THAT'S THOSE THOSE FEMA REIMBURSEMENTS THERE FROM HURRICANE MATTHEW. GOING FORWARD THEY ALL FOR THE CHARGES AND SERVICES FINES FORFEITURES MISCELLANEOUS THOSE ARE A LITTLE BIT UP FROM THE WHAT WE BUDGETED. IN THE CAPITAL LEASES PROPERTY SALES FUND BALANCE THOSE ARE NON-RECURRING REVENUES. THOSE ARE THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACT FOR HONEYWELL CITY PROPERTY SALES SURPLUS SALES. THOSE ARE NOT FUNDED. THOSE ARE NOT REVENUES THAT WE ANTICIPATE. THOSE ARE JUST SALES THAT HAPPEN IN ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AND BRINGING [INAUDIBLE] BALANCE. SO FOR YOUR FY 19 YOUR BALANCE FOR YEAR END ESTIMATES SEVENTY EIGHT MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE TWENTY FIVE FOR REVENUES JUST A LITTLE BIT UP FROM THE SEVENTY SEVEN THAT WAS BUDGETED.
ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR. HEARING NONE. ALL RIGHTY. SO MOVE ON TO OUR GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES.
THIS IS JUST GENERAL FUND. THESE ARE NOT THE YOUR UTILITY OR OTHERWISE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. THERE ARE SOME MINOR CHANGES AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE CITY ATTORNEYS IN THE COLUMN ONE THERE ON THE THIRD ITEM DOWN ONE POINT THREE WAS YOUR ACTUAL FY 18 I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT YEAR END INVESTMENTS ARE FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND SO THAT INCLUDES A NON RECURRING CASE SETTLEMENT OF EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. THAT'S WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING ACROSS THE BOARD THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES. AND COMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ADJUSTED BUDGET WAS FOUR POINT THREE YEAR END ESTIMATES ARE THREE POINT SIX. AND THAT'S FROM THE NETWORK AND TELEPHONE UPGRADE ROLLOVER FROM THE PRIOR YEAR IN. AS WELL AS FACILITIES WITH A FOUR POINT FOUR MILLION TO FOUR POINT TWO. AGAIN THERE WAS A [INAUDIBLE] FOR HONEYWELL FOR THE CONTRACT WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY AWARDED IN ENCUMBERED. SO YEAR END ESTIMATES FOR FY 19 FOR GENERAL FUND IS SEVENTY FIVE MILLION ADJUSTED BUDGET WAS SEVENTY SEVEN MILLION. AND IF WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE THE MATH BETWEEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR YEAR END ESTIMATE REVENUES FOR GENERAL FUND AND EXPENDITURES. YOU'LL HAVE AN ESTIMATED EXCESS OF REVENUES OVER EXPENDITURES AS OF TODAY THREE POINT TWO MILLION. THAT'S FUND BALANCE. THESE ARE ESTIMATED TODAY IS JUNE 18TH. WE STILL HAVE A FEW MONTHS TO GO THROUGH WE HAVE SOME WEATHER RELATED MONTHS COMING UP FOR SEASONAL STUFF. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE ESTIMATED THOSE PROPERLY AND DEPARTMENTS WENT THROUGH AND PROVIDED THESE ESTIMATES SO WE DO ANTICIPATE TO HAVE SOME EXCESS BUT WE ARE IN JUNE SO.
FISCAL YEAR ENDS SEPTEMBER 30TH. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO AVOID AS MANY [INAUDIBLE] ROLLOVERS AS POSSIBLE THIS YEAR WHERE WE GET [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE ISSUED AFTER AUGUST 30TH AND [INAUDIBLE] RECEIVED BY 9/30 TRY OUR BEST TO KEEP THOSE ROLLOVERS MINIMAL AS POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR THE EXCESS YOU KNOW HIGHER THAN ESTIMATED PROPERTY TAX RECEIPTS WERE EXPECTED AND WE DID HAVE SOME ONETIME PROPERTY SALES RECEIPTS TOTALING SIX HUNDRED FORTY THREE THOUSAND. AND WE HAD SOME FUNDS BUDGETED FOR POSITIONS THAT WERE VACATED OR HAD NOT BEEN FILTERED IN THE FISCAL YEAR WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE SAVINGS THERE. QUESTIONS ON IF FY 19. SO THIS CURRENT COUNCIL WE COULD PUT IT IN PLACE BECAUSE IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY EARLIER A ORDINANCE MANDATING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF FUNDS FROM GENERAL FUND TO GO TOWARDS ROAD MAINTENANCE. SURE. YES. IN THE UNASSIGNED FUND FROM THE SLIDE 3 WE COULD WE COULD JUST POLICY WISE YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE A 10 PERCENT MINIMUM FUND BALANCE REQUIRED BY RESOLUTION ON THE ON THE SECONDARY LET'S SEE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FOUR COLUMNS OVER ON THE SECOND BOX. SO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM FUND BALANCES THAT'S REQUIRED BY POLICY TO HOLD 10 PERCENT. THAT'S WHAT COUNCIL'S ADHERING TO. YOU COULD HAVE YOU HAVE OTHER POLICY SET IN YOUR [INAUDIBLE] FOR OTHER POLICIES AND YOU COULD INCLUDE A FUND BALANCE TO INCLUDE ROAD MAINTENANCE HERE TO HOLD ONE POINT FIVE TWO MILLION TO START AND THEN EVERY YEAR YOU REVIEW IT AND YOU SEE IF YOU WANT TO HOLD MORE IN THAT FUND. THANK YOU. OK
[2. Discussion on proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.]
MOVING ON TO 2020. THIS IS A VERY PRELIMINARY SO WE BASED OUR PROPOSED BUDGET WE GAVE OUR MAXIMUM ALLOCATIONS OUT TO OUR BUDGETS BASED ON EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TWO WHICH IS THE 3 PERCENT CAP PLUS NEW CONSTRUCTION RATE FOR YOUR PROPERTY VALUES. WE'VE ESTIMATED THOSE OUT AS THIRTY THREE MILLION FOR COLLECTABLE BECAUSE WE GET OUR PRELIMINARY TRIM NOTICE FROM THE TAX PROPERTY TAX APPRAISER. SO WE KIND OF BUT WE PROPOSE THE BUDGET AND GIVE IT TO THE DEPARTMENTS WITH THEIR MAXIMUM OPERATING BUDGETS. WE HAVE DONE ON THE FOLLOWING LIST THAT BELOW THAT WE WENT THROUGH HISTORICAL BASE AND TRENDS TO KIND OF BUDGET THOSE ITEMS THAT COULD VARY BETWEEN THE[00:10:03]
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE WE DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL [INAUDIBLE] COMING IN LATER TOWARD THE YEAR SO WE KIND OF JUST TAKE A HISTORICAL TREND LOOK AND BUDGET THOSE AND USE IT FOR ESTIMATES FOR REVENUES. SO WE ESTIMATE FOR FY 20 THAT WE'LL HAVE A BUDGET OF SEVENTY FIVE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND FORTY SEVEN. WE WILL GET OUR ACTUAL TRIM STATEMENT JULY 1. AS FAR AS EXPENDITURES DEPARTMENTS WENT THROUGH THEY PROVIDED ALL THEIR BUDGET ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS FOR PERSONNEL CAPITAL AND OTHERWISE OPERATING AND WE'VE OUTLINED THOSE HERE. THEY'VE ALSO GIVEN THEIR BASE BUDGETS TO INCLUDE THEIR MAXIMUM ALLOCATIONS. THESE ARE NOT REQUESTS IN THE FUNDS COLUMNS HERE. YOU GUYS HAVE A COUNCIL RECEIVED A SUMMARY SHEET OF REQUESTS THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS JUST THE BASE BUDGET GIVEN THE DEPARTMENTS TO TO ALLOCATE THEIR NEEDS ON PERSONNEL OPERATING CAPITAL AS THEY CAN SEE FIT WITHIN THEIR BUDGET OPERATINGS. THERE ARE SOME CHANGES THERE'S SOME FOOTNOTES HERE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE ONE WE REALLOCATED SOME GENERAL FUND PERSONNEL TO OUR DEPARTMENT FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT FTE FOUR OF THEM ARE MOVES. THAT'S WHY THE BUDGET WENT UP FROM ADOPTER RATE OF EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN TO ONE POINT ONE MILLION. COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY HAD A REDUCTION BECAUSE WE'VE MOVED TWO FT'S OUT SO THEY WENT FROM THREE POINT THREE TO TWO POINT SEVEN. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SINCE WE MOVED TWO FT'S OUT OF THERE FROM NINE TWENTY FOUR TO FOUR SIXTY THREE. AND PUBLIC WORKS THERE'S A DIFFERENCE FROM FY 18 TO FY 20 FOR ABOUT TWO POINT FOUR MILLION THAT'S DUE TO THE HURRICANE IRMA DEGREE REMOVAL AND DISASTER CLEANUP. SO ESTIMATED BASE BUDGET FOR EXPENDITURES IS SEVENTY THREE MILLION SEVEN POINT FIFTY SIX SIX TWENTY FOUR. AND ON THE NEXT SLIDE WE GIVE YOU THE ESTIMATED EXCESS REVENUE OVER EXPENDITURES. WE ANTICIPATE HAVING ONE POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS IN EXCESS. SO INCLUDED HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FY 20 BASE BUDGET ESTIMATES INCLUDE THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE BASED ON A MILLAGE RATE EQUAL TO THE 3 PERCENT CAP WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION. WE'VE INCLUDED EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND BENEFITS INCLUDING A 3 PERCENT INCREASE FOR GENERAL EMPLOYEES, COUNCIL, POLICE, FIRE FIGHTERS, AND WE KNOW THAT NAGE WHITE AND NAGE BLUE CONTRACTS ARE UNDER NEGOTIATIONS AND SHOULD BE RATIFIED BY 9/30 SO THOSE HAVEN'T BEEN DEFINED YET SO THOSE ARE OUTSTANDING. PROPERTY INSURANCE AND OTHER RISK RELATED COSTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN INCREASED AND ALLOCATED. THE POLICE AND FIREFIGHTER PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND ALLOCATED. AND OUR ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ARE INCLUDED SO WE PAY OUR DEBT FIRST AND WE HAVE INCLUDED THE STORMWATER INSTITUTION EXEMPTIONS IN THE BUDGET AS WELL FOR THE BASE. QUESTIONS. YEAH MAYOR. GO BACK TO PAGE SLIDE 8 PLEASE. JUST CURIOUS YOU SAID THAT THE REALLOCATION FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO YOUR DEPARTMENT THERE'S TWO FTE'S HOWEVER I ALSO SEE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FY 18 AND THE NO ADJUSTED 19 AS WELL. NO IT'S MORE THAN JUST TWO FTE'S APPEARS TO BE THERE BECAUSE ABOUT A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOUR POINT FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. WHAT WAS THE REST OF THAT IS THAT OPERATING IS THERE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE REALLOCATING THERE. FROM FY 18 THE FY 19 ADOPTED IS THAT THE FIVE EIGHTY TWO TO THE NINE TWENTY FOUR. NO. WELL FROM THE FY 19 ADJUSTED TO THE ESTIMATED [INAUDIBLE].FOUR SIXTY THREE THERE ARE OPERATING DECREASES THERE AS WELL. OK. [INAUDIBLE] MAKE SURE BECAUSE THERE'S A PRETTY BIG SALARY. I JUST. YEAH. THEY'RE NOT THAT LARGE BUT THERE ARE SOME OPERATING THAT GOES WITH COMMUNICATIONS AS FAR AS PROPAGATION OR OTHER AUTHORIZED PRINTING MATERIALS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALSO HAD SOME LIKE ONETIME EXPENSES THEY PULLED OUT AS WELL. OK. AND [INAUDIBLE] WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY ONETIME EXPENSES THAT'S ONE THINGS THAT [INAUDIBLE] CURIOUS I [INAUDIBLE] CURIOUS ABOUT GETTING MORE DETAIL. SURE AND WE'D BE YEAH. IF OUR FINANCE DEPARTMENT EVERY YEAR PULLS OUT THE ONE TIME APPROVALS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR SO IF YOU'VE APPROVED A PERSON FROM FY 18 TO 19 THAT PERSONNEL INCREASE SHOWS ACROSS RIGHT. BUT IF YOU HAVE A ONE TIME I'M GONNA BUY A WIDGET THAT'S NOT APPROVED AS RECURRING THEN IT GETS PULLED OUT OF THE BASE BUDGET AND THAT DETERMINES THE MAXIMUM ALLOCATIONS FOR EACH ONE SO THOSE ARE REMOVED. THAT MAKES SENSE. YES. YEAH.
[INAUDIBLE] ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES. THANK YOU SIR. SO IF WE WANT TO PICK UP AT SLIDE 10 WE CAN TALK ABOUT JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF YOUR ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE AS I SAID WE INCLUDED ALL YOUR DEBT PAYMENTS AS GOOD STEWARDS WE ALWAYS BUDGET FOR YOUR DEBT THOSE ARE FIRST THINGS YOU HAVE TO PAY SO WE HAVE A LISTING UP HERE OF DEBT. THERE ARE TWO THAT ARE EXPIRING FOR NEXT YEAR. WE HAVE A PAYMENT DATE OF 10/1/20 SO THESE BE THE FINAL YEARS THERE'S THE ADVANCE FROM THE BILLING FUND FOR SOME CIT COMMUNICATION AND RADIO CONSOLES TUNE OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND. AND THEN YOUR GENERAL FUNDED LOCAL OPTION GAS TAX REFUND REVENUE NOTE 2014 10/1/20 LAST PAYMENT OF SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO THOUSAND WILL BE IN THAT FOLLOWING
[00:15:01]
YEAR SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT YOUR DEBT SERVICES LOOKS LIKE FOLKS.NEXT SLIDE WE HAVE A JUST A GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE REQUEST. SO FY 2020 DEPARTMENTS HAVE REQUESTED A THREE RING BINDER THREE INCHES MAYBE TWO INCHES IN THICKNESS.
GENERAL FUND IS REQUESTING 9 MILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING ONE POINT SIX REPRESENTS THE PERSONNEL REQUESTS. OPERATING OF A NINE HUNDRED FOURTEEN THOUSAND VERY CONSERVATIVE THERE BUT A LOT OF CAPITAL REQUESTS AT THE SIX POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLAR MARK. ALL OF OUR OTHER FUNDS THESE INCLUDE THE BUILDING AND FUNDS UTILITY FUNDS ALL THE OTHER ENTERPRISE FUNDS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT THAT ARE NOT GENERAL FUND. THEY'RE REQUESTING EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS IN EXPENDITURES, SIX HUNDRED NINETY FIVE CONSERVATIVELY IN PERSONNEL, TWO POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN OPERATING, AND FIFTEEN MILLION AND CHANGE FOR CAPITAL. THIS IS JUST A PRELIMINARY REQUEST LIST THAT'S NOT APPROVED THESE ARE JUST EVERYTHING THAT WAS SUBMITTED.
AND JUST TO GIVE YOU GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION BETWEEN THE GENERAL FUND AND ALL THE OTHER FUNDS. LITTLE MORE DETAIL. DRILL DOWN ON THE DEPARTMENT FUNDING REQUESTS ON SLIDE 12. THERE ARE THESE JUST TOTAL UP FOR EACH DEPARTMENT.
LEGISLATIVE CONSERVATIVE TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR ASK PROCUREMENT FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND. FINANCE ADDITIONAL TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND. COMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ONE POINT ONE MILLION. HUMAN RESOURCES NINETY SIX THOUSAND. GROWTH MANAGEMENT SHOWING A LOSS OF ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND. PARKS ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION. FACILITIES FOUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN THOUSAND. POLICE ONE POINT TWO. FIRE TWO POINT ONE. PUBLIC WORKS TWO POINT TWO. SO THE TOTAL JUMP FUND JOLT TOTAL GENERAL FUND REQUEST IS NINE MILLION AND CHANGE. AND THE OTHER FUNDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OF THE POWERPOINT SLIDE AND WE CAN GO THROUGH THOSE IF YOU CHOOSE. BUT ON [INAUDIBLE] DECREASES IN STORM WATER FUND AND SOLID WASTE FUND OF FIFTEEN THOUSAND SEVENTY THOUSAND VERY SMALL TOTAL REQUEST THERE IS EIGHTEEN POINT ONE MILLION. QUESTIONS.
GOOD. WE'LL MOVE ON. SO TAXABLE VALUES. THIS GET'S FUN. GIVE YOU A 10 YEAR LOOK BACK ON YOUR ON YOUR TAXABLE VALUES, YOUR CURRENT TAX YEAR, YOUR CURRENT NEW TAXABLE VALUES, AND THEN YOUR CURRENT YEAR GROSS TAXABLE VALUE SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE BACK THE GRAPH THE LITTLE RED IS YOUR NEW CONSTRUCTION. WE CALL IT A LITTLE DOT. WE WERE EXCITED TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BIGGER DOT THIS YEAR AT NINETY THREE MILLION KIND OF EQUATES TO OUR GROWTH THAT WE SAW IN 2016 AND MORE MORE [INAUDIBLE] BACK IN 2009 WITH SEVENTY MILLION EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE THERE IS PRETTY SMALL SO WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING A LITTLE GROWTH IN NEW CONSTRUCTION AT NINETY THREE MILLION WITH A CAP IN YOUR FOUR POINT THREE MILLION IS YOUR TOTAL GROSS TAXABLE VALUE PRELIMINARY BASED ON THE TRIM NOTICE WE RECEIVED FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS TO BE TRUED UP IN JULY. SO WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR AD VALOREM RATE OPTIONS AND REVENUE ESTIMATES BASED ON YOUR MILLAGE RATE BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT YOU'LL BE SETTING THAT SOON IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO AND YOU DO HAVE THE CAP. SO ON THIS PAGE SLIDE 14 WE HAVE THE PROPOSED FY 20 BUDGET WITH THE 3 PERCENT CAP BASED ON THE EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TWO. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THE TOTAL REVENUE THERE IS THIRTY THREE MILLION. THE INCREASED REVENUE COMPARED TO LAST YEAR IS ONE POINT SEVEN. IF YOU WERE TO GO TO THE ROLLBACK RATE OF SEVEN POINT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT NINE YOU WOULD HAVE A REVENUE SOURCE OF THIRTY TWO POINT ONE MILLION AND AN INCREASED REVENUE OF ONE HUNDRED SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY SIX AND CHANGE. OBVIOUSLY SUPER MAJORITY HAS TO OCCUR TO GO ANYWHERE ABOVE 3 PERCENT CAP. SO WE'RE JUST HIGHLIGHTING SOME MID-YEAR MIDWAY CURRENT OPTIONS FOR YOU TO LOOK OUT TO SEE IF THOSE REVENUE VALUES WERE MORE RESOURCEFUL TO YOU BASED ON THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS WE RECEIVED FROM THE GENERAL FUND.
QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS COUNCIL. LISA MAYBE MAYBE DO YOU MIND JUST READING THAT LAST COLUMN FOR THE FOR THE [INAUDIBLE]. SURE. I CAN DO THAT. I'M SORRY. YEAH. SO THE FY 19 CURRENT RATE EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE MILLS IS YOUR CURRENT RATE REVENUE FOR THAT IS THIRTY ONE FOUR FOUR FIVE SEVEN FIVE TWO. IF YOU MAINTAIN THE CURRENT RATE IN FY 20 WHICH WOULD CREATE WOULD REQUIRE [INAUDIBLE] SUPER MAJORITY OF EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE YOU'D HAVE A REVENUE OF THIRTY FOUR MILLION FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THREE. IT WOULD BE A THREE MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE TO YOUR YOUR REVENUE WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO NINE POINT SIX TWO ABOVE THE CAP. YOU WOULD USE THE MID WAY FY 20 MIDWAY CURRENT PLUS [INAUDIBLE] CAP AT EIGHT POINT TWO EIGHTY TWO THIRTY THREE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND INCREASE REVENUE OF TWO POINT THREE AND CHANGE TOTAL OF REVENUE INCREASES SEVEN POINT FIVE TWO. THE CURRENT
[00:20:03]
RATE OF FY 20 WITH THE 3 PERCENT CAP OF EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TWO MILLAGE RATE THIRTY THREE MILLION ONE POINT SEVEN AND INCREASE REVENUE OF FIVE POINT ONE FOR TWO PERCENT.AND THE ROLLBACK SEVEN POINT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT NINE THIRTY TWO MILLION AND CHANGE.
SEVEN OUT OF THIRTY SIX THOUSAND IN INCREASED REVENUE TWO POINT THREE FOUR PERCENT INCREASE REVENUE FROM FY 19. THAT HELPS SIR. YEAH. YEAH. AND LISA JUST I THINK FOR ADDING CLARIFICATION AND DIDN'T WHAT I SEE HERE IS A LITTLE BIT OVER 2 PERCENT INCREASE BASED ON NEW CONSTRUCTION AND WE KNOW WHAT THE 3 PERCENT CAP. ONE THING THAT I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED ABOUT IS THE FY 20 THE MID WAY CURRENT AND 3 PERCENT CAP [INAUDIBLE] 3 PERCENT CAP CAN DESCRIBE AGAIN HOW THAT'S CALCULATED. OR WAS THAT WAS THAT MEAN. I THINK THAT'S THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE OPTIONS BETWEEN 3 PERCENT CAP AND THE MAINTAIN THE MAINTAINING THE CURRENT RATE SO WE'RE JUST GONNA HIGHLIGHT THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BETWEEN EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE AND EIGHT POINT ONE TWO EIGHT POINT TO EIGHT IS THE MIDWAY POINTS. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE SO GIVING YOU THE HIGH, THE LOW, AND THE MIDDLE AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN ON THE OTHER RATES THAT ARE LISTED THERE WE JUST BOLDED UP THE THE HIGH, THE MIDDLE, AND THE LOW.
GOT YOU. OK. SOME REASON I WAS ASSOCIATING THAT WITH MIDPOINT OF [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THE MID-YEAR BUDGET [INAUDIBLE]. SO I THINK THAT'S HOW I [INAUDIBLE]. OK. UNDERSTOOD UNDERSTOOD. I BOLDED THEM JUST SO THAT WE HAVE SOME POINT OF REFERENCE ON THE POWERPOINT SO WE'RE NOT ALWAYS THINKING WHAT COLUMN AND COUNTING DOWN JUST FOR VISUAL BUT THANK YOU. OK. NOTED. I JUST GOT A QUICK QUESTION. WELL ACTUALLY I JUST WANT A CLARIFICATION HERE BECAUSE I SEE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 20 3 PERCENT CAP BEING WHAT IT IS BUT THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE I SEE A PERCENTAGE INCREASE OF FIVE POINT FORTY PERCENT. NOW CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS AND. THAT INCLUDES YOUR 3 PERCENT CAP PLUS YOUR NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAP. OK. ALL RIGHT. YEAH AND THANK YOU AND COUNCILMAN OR MAYOR I WAS GOING TO HIGHLIGHT SAME THING COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO JUST SAID AGAIN KNOW WE HAVE ABOUT LITTLE OVER 2 PERCENT FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND IF YOU ADD 3 PERCENT FROM THERE WE COULD STILL EVEN WITH THE 3 PERCENT CAP KNOW IT'S STILL ALMOST 5 AND A HALF PERCENT INCREASE IN OUR REVENUES FOR OUR YEAR OVER YEAR SO. MAYOR IF I MAY JUST JUST VERY QUICKLY AND I DON'T I DON'T MEAN TO. ABSOLUTELY BUT WE JUST GO BACK TO PAGE 13.
YEAH. I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU MIGHT HAVE THE DETAILS AS FAR AS WHAT THE NEW THE NEW TAXABLE REVENUE OR VALUE IS. IN OTHER WORDS DO WE HAVE A BREAKDOWN OF RESIDENTIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL. WELL WE HAVE THE NEW COMMERCIAL BROKEN DOWN ON THE NINETY THREE MILLION THAT'S THE NEW COMMERCIAL RATE IN THE RED. THE OTHER IS THE OTHER IS YOUR 3 PERCENT CAP OF ALL YOUR OTHER PROPERTIES THAT ARE THAT THAT THAT FALL INTO 3 PERCENT CAP BECAUSE FOUR POINT TWO. SO EVERYTHING I READ IS ALL [INAUDIBLE].
THAT'S ALL NEW COMMERCIAL. OK. I JUST WANTED CLARIFICATION ON THAT. I DON'T SEE HERE.
IT SAYS NEW TAXABLE. YEAH IT SAYS NEW NEW [INAUDIBLE]. NEW CONSTRUCTION. YEAH I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE VIBE BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL THAT'S THE QUESTION. WELL IT'S I'M SORRY. I WILL I WILL CLARIFY. NEW CONSTRUCTION YES WOULD INCLUDE NEW RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION OR COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION SO A NEW CONSTRUCTION. SO IT'S BOTH. YEAH. COMMERCIAL. SO DO WE HAPPEN TO HAVE A BREAKDOWN. I INCLUDED THAT IN THE PRE TRIM BUT I WILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
OK. SO YOU HAVE THAT AGAIN BREAK THAT DOWN. IT IS A LARGE THAT TRIM NOTICE FROM THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS HAS LIKE 14 BOXES MINUS THIS PLUS THAT AND SO WE TRY TO HIGHLIGHT ON THIS PAGE BUT I'LL BREAK IT DOWN FOR COUNCIL IN A SEPARATE TRIM BREAK OUT WITH HIGHLIGHTS JUST FOR YOUR. THAT'S ALL I HAVE MAYOR THANK YOU. OK. CONTINUE. SO SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN IMPACT ON THE FY 20 AD VALOREM TAX REVENUES AGAIN JUST THIS IS MAYBE A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS WE'RE NOT DOING THE CALCULATOR JUST AS THIS MOMENT BUT I KNOW WE LOVE THE CALCULATOR WHEN WE LOOK AT IF WE PLAY WITH NUMBERS BUT THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON YOUR MILLAGE RATE. SAME KIND OF SETUP WITH THE BOWL WHICH HAS THE MAINTAIN THE RATE, THE BID CAP, AND FY 20. THE EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE IS YOUR CURRENT THE CAP IS EIGHT POINT TWO EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TO THE MID IS EIGHT POINT TWO TWO EIGHT. I'M SORRY EIGHT POINT TWO EIGHT EIGHT TWO. GLASSES FOR READING THE SCREEN AND PAPER DON'T ALWAYS WORK. SO YOU HAVE AN INCREASE IN REVENUE COLUMN AND YOU HAVE A REDUCTION IN AVAILABLE FY 20 REVENUE IN THE RATE ADOPTED ON THE RATE OF THE MILLAGE RATE IF IT'S LESS THAN EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE. SO JUST KIND OF SHOWS YOU THE REDUCTION OR THE LOSS FROM THE EIGHT FOUR FIVE EVEN THOUGH YOUR PROPERTY PRICES PROPERTY APPRAISALS GOING UP YOU DO STILL HAVE A LOSS WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE RESTRAINED BY A CAP AND YOU'RE HAVE A NINE MILLION DOLLARS IN REQUEST FOR FUNDING AND MOST OF THOSE ARE CAPITAL WHICH MEANS THERE THINGS THAT ARE REPLACING THINGS THAT HAVE A LIFESPAN OF SEVEN YEARS HAVE PROBABLY END OF LIFE AND HAVE A LARGE TICKET ITEM THAT NEEDS REPLACE WITHIN THE CITY. SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE THE VARIATIONS THERE. SO
[00:25:05]
LASTLY ON SLIDE 16 THE PROPOSED BUDGET WE JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW PENDING ACTION ITEMS THAT ARE IMPACTING THE AVAILABILITY FUNDS 2019 PROPERTY VALUATIONS ARE DUE BY JULY 1ST. OF COURSE THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE OFFICE TAX RESEARCH [INAUDIBLE] ESTIMATES THERE EXPECTED LATE JUNE MID JULY TIME FRAME SOMETIME SO THAT LIST OF ALL THE REVENUES THAT WE KIND OF BROKE DOWN ON HISTORICAL AND TRENDING ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES WE WILL GET MORE DEFINITIVE NUMBERS AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO THE MID JULY ARENA. AND OF COURSE THE REIMBURSEMENT FROM HURRICANE IRMA DEBRIS REMOVAL WE'RE EXPECTED THOSE WE ALWAYS EXPECT THEM BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE A DATE CERTAIN TO SAY THAT THEY'LL BE BACK IN YOUR YOUR FUND BALANCES. I JUST WANTED TO IF YOU DON'T MIND IF WE GO BACK TO SLIDE JUST 14 FOR REAL QUICK SECOND. SO BEFORE I GET INTO THE BARS OR IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO THAT DETAIL OF THE BAR LIST THAT WE BROUGHT OUT TO YOU THE 3 PERCENT CAP WHICH EQUATES TO ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE FOR THIS YEAR. JUST WANT TO EQUATE THAT INTO REAL DOLLARS OR REAL REQUESTS SO THAT IS REALLY ONE LADDER TRUCK AND TWENTY FOUR OF THIS THE EIGHTY VEHICLES AND POLICE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPLACE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POLICE CARS IS FOR TWENTY FOUR CARS A SIX HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND AND THE LADDER TRUCK IS ONE POINT THREE MILLION. SO WITH THOSE TWO REQUESTS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR WITH NO DEBT OR LEASE PURCHASE PAYMENTS OR EXTENDING IT OUT OR INCREASING YOUR DEBT PAYMENTS OVER YOU KNOW WE ALREADY WE ALREADY SHOULDN'T SLIDE ON DEBT THAT'D BE THE EQUIPMENT OF THAT. THE EQUATE SORRY THE SAME VALUE. AND THAT'S THAT'S OUR PRESENTATION FOR THIS EVENING JUST GIVE YOU A FRAMEWORK GIVE YOU AN IDEA. THIS IS REALLY QUESTIONS COMMENTS ANY COUNCIL DIRECTION OR DISCUSSION IF YOU'D LIKE TO REVIEW THE BARS OR HAVE ANY QUERIES FOR DEPARTMENTS THEY'RE PREPARED READY FOR YOUR FY KNOW 19 YEAR END ESTIMATES OR OTHERWISE BUT HAPPY TO LISTEN TO YOUR DISCUSSION OR IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR MYSELF. AND I GUESS ALWAYS WITH ME IS ALWAYS SAY WE HAVE PRIORITIES IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND I ALLOW THE DEPARTMENTS TO KIND OF SEND THEIR REQUESTS TO THE CITY MANAGER AND THEN TAKE IT FROM TAKE IT FROM THERE. I KNOW THAT WE STILL ARE IN A CATCH UP MODE. I KNOW THAT BETWEEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE TRUCKS AND THE CARS AND EVEN HIRING POLICE OFFICERS SO WE COULD KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH OF THE CITY. THOSE ARE ALL DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE IN DEMAND. SO I ALWAYS ASK FOR MY POSITION AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT BEEN HERE IS ALWAYS ASKING CITY STAFF TELL ME WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE AND I COULD WORK WITH WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE. AND THEN AS A COUNCIL WE COULD DELIBERATE AND GET TO THAT POINT OF MAKING A DECISION. I KNOW IS ALWAYS APPEALING OR ATTRACTIVE TO SAY WE WANT TO DO THE ROLLBACK OR WE WANT TO DO THIS WE WANT TO DO THAT BUT WE ALL KNOW ON THIS DAIS THAT THERE IS NEEDS WITHIN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE OR ALLOW STAFF TO PRIORITIZE TO WHAT NEED THAT WE'RE GONNA MEET THIS YEAR AND SO ON. AND I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO STAFF TO KIND OF WALK US THROUGH BECAUSE I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM TO GET US TO THE POINT OF REALITY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THAT WE'RE IN GOOD TIMES NOW WE WERE IN BAD TIMES A FEW YEARS BACK AND WE'RE STILL NOT CURRENT TO THE POINT OF REALLY BEING CURRENT WITH THE STUFF THAT THE CITY NEEDS SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO ADD. ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO SPEAK. VERY THOROUGH PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE THAT THOROUGHNESS OF THE PRESENTATION YOU GAVE US A GREAT BASE TO WORK OFF OF IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF WE HAD THE TWO POINT FOUR MILLION FROM OUR IRMA. I THINK THAT WOULD PUT US IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT POSITION THAN WE ARE NOW SO I'LL JUST FOLLOW UP ON EVERYTHING THE MAYOR SAID. THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD THERE. ANYONE ELSE.MAYOR. YES. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT. I'LL GUESS I'LL SPEAK WITH STAFF OR CITY MANAGER IN REGARDS TO MANDATING A CERTAIN AMOUNT FROM THE GENERAL FUND TOWARDS ROAD MAINTENANCE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. I KNOW WE WERE SAYING IN THE PREVIOUS WORKSHOP THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE TIME OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVEN AFTER ALL OF US ARE GONE WE MAKE SURE THESE ROADS ARE STILL
[00:30:01]
TAKING CARE OF ESPECIALLY KUDOS TO DEPUTY MAYOR AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT PUT FORTH THE EFFORT TO GET THE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR BOND AND MAKE IT HAPPEN SO LISTEN LET'S MAKE SURE WE DO THE RIGHT THING. I WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN DOING SOME TYPE OF YOU KNOW ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND ORDINANCE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS IN THE FUTURE SO. [INAUDIBLE] ALL THE REST THE COUNCIL FEELS ABOUT IT BUT. MAYOR IF I MAY. THANK YOU LISA FOR THE PRESENTATION AND I THANK YOU FOR COMING PREPARED NO WITH A BREAKDOWN OF SOME OF THESE THESE PRIORITIES THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT FORTH BY STAFF. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING NO TALKING TO YOU MORE ABOUT THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND NO SEEING WHERE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS LIE WITHIN THIS. I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS PROBABLY HARD TELLING SO MANY DIRECTORS YES AND NO. BUT THAT'S PART OF THE JOB IS BEING ABLE TO SAY NO BUT BEYOND THAT NO MY MY BIGGER MY BIGGER CONCERN AND QUESTION WHICH ISN'T NECESSARILY PREPARATION FOR THIS BUDGET THAN THE FACT OF COURSE I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THING THAT'S GOING PUT MORE MONEY TO THE ROADS AND ANY [INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE THE AVAILABLE BALANCE OR ROLL ROLL FORWARD MONEYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AT THE END OF THIS YEAR TO PUT TOWARDS IT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD. WE'VE DONE THAT IN YEARS PAST AND [INAUDIBLE] STOP THAT. I THINK IT BE A GREAT THING FOR THIS COUNCIL TO GET BACK ON TRACK. MY CONCERN IS THAT WE NEED TO BE USING THAT MONEY PROACTIVELY TODAY NOT JUST NO PUTTING THIS SIDE BUT ACTUALLY USING IT HAVE A PLAN. WE SHOULD BE DOING SOME ROAD MAINTENANCE PROJECTS ESPECIALLY THE NO SMALL PROJECTS SUCH AS THE REJUVENATION [INAUDIBLE] WHEREVER WE CAN THROUGHOUT THE CITY AS WE MOVE FORWARD RATHER THAN JUST NO JUST SETTING ASIDE CARRY FORWARD THAT'S I WANT TO SEE US BE PROACTIVE WITH IT RATHER THAN JUST SITTING ON IT. SO ANYHOW THAT'S THAT'S MY MAIN PRIORITIES IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. OTHER THAN THAT I KNOW THERE'S SOME MORE DETAILS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THE MEETING AND WE'LL HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. BUT I KNOW OVERALL I'M HAPPY SEE SOME THE NUMBERS HAPPY SEE THE POSITIVE GROWTH. I THINK WE'VE MR. SANTIAGO MENTIONED AS FAR AS BREAKING DOWN COMMERCIAL VERSUS RESIDENTIAL IN OUR GROWTH NO NO KIND OF TRACKING THAT SEEING HOW WE'RE DOING AS FAR AS COMMERCIAL GROWTH. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO OUR BALANCE MOVING FORWARD. SO THOSE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS JUST KEEP KEEP LOOKING AT THAT ANALYZING IT AND SEEING HOW HOW WE CAN MAKE THAT BETTER BUT I APPRECIATE IT. AND LET ME LET ME ALSO ECHO SOME OF WHAT WAS SAID HERE AND FIRST OF ALL GREAT PRESENTATION. MS. MORRELL I THINK YOU BROKE EVERYTHING DOWN VERY WELL HERE. AS I STATED BEFORE AND I I'VE SAID THIS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN SO BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL WITH REGARDS TO PAYING FOR SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PAY FOR BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE YEARS THAT WE WERE IN RECESSION THAT NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO CATCH UP. BUT ALSO AS I AS I HAVE STATED ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT IS BECAUSE WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANY MORE REVENUE COMING IN THAN WHAT WE SHOULD. I THINK FOR ME THAT 150 MILLION DOLLAR BOND CHANGES EVERYTHING AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT BOND NOW. I GUESS I DO AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN JOHNSON WITH REGARDS TO MANDATING MONEY GOING TOWARDS THE ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE SHOULD DO. BUT I THINK ALSO WE NEED TO YOU KNOW WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT RIGHT NOW THAT EIGHT POINT FOUR FIVE MILLS ONCE THOSE OTHER THREE MILLS FOR THE BOND KICK IN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT WE'RE LOOKING AT WELL OVER TEN MILLS NOW IN TOTAL FOR OUR CITY. SO WE REALLY NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT PERHAPS BRINGING THAT BACK LITTLE BY LITTLE. I'M NOT SAYING GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 3 PERCENT OR TO THE ROLLBACK BUT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO START BRINGING THAT BACK THAT THAT WILL BE HELPFUL FOR MANY REASONS. OTHERS WILL BE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY FOR ECONOMIC REASONS AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I WANTED TO LOOK AT THAT COMMERCIAL BREAK DOWN BECAUSE THAT THE LOWER THE MILLAGE RATE IS THE MORE ATTRACTIVE OUR CITY WILL BE FOR COMMERCIAL. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO START LOOKING AT ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT THAT ROAD BOND AND SEE WHERE COUNCIL IS WITH THAT. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY WITH REGARDS TO THAT. [INAUDIBLE]. THE GOOD NEWS FOR US IS AT LEAST IT'LL BE ONE MILL AND THEN PROBABLY TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER MILL AND THEN AT THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD THE FULL THREE MILL SO IT WON'T BE THREE MILLS RIGHT OFF THE BAT. ALSO WITH THE NINETY THREE MILLION A LOT OF OUR BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DID NOT GET COS SO THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS NINETY THREE MILLION SO WE SHOULD HAVE A PRETTY GOOD NEW CONSTRUCTION NUMBER NEXT TIME. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF THIS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS IN THIS CITY IS THE RESIDENTIAL VERSUS[00:35:03]
COMMERCIAL AND THE DEFICIT THERE. SO JUST I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AND THEN SAVING FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE RIGHT THERE TOO. WE DO HAVE TO DIAL IT BACK BUT WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL THE WAY WE DO IT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO ACHIEVE FOR THE FUTURE THAT WAY WE'RE SECURE IN OUR FUTURE AS WE GO FORWARD WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY NINE DOLLARS WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE SAME ROW 20 YEARS [INAUDIBLE]. MAYOR IF I MAY. YEAH AND JUST TO TOUCH ON WHAT DEPUTY MAYOR ANDERSON SAID YOU KNOW YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT BECAUSE AS I STATED IF YOU LOOK AT BETWEEN THE YEAR 2000 AND 2006 2007 IT WAS IT WAS A ROLLBACK TEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR THERE WAS NOTHING PUT TOWARDS THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF OUR CITY. SO SO YES I CERTAINLY DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GO TO THAT EXTREME BUT AT SAME SAME TIME I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY START SCALING BACK ON OUR ON OUR MILLAGE RATE PERHAPS NOT BY THAT MUCH BUT BUT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PERHAPS ALL AGREE ON. AND AND YOU KNOW START GIVING OUR TAX TAXPAYERS A BREAK. MAYOR. YES. AND NO NO TONIGHT WE WERE DISCUSSING THE MILLAGE RATE BUT YOU KNOW SINCE WE'RE COMMENTING ON IT. WE DEFINITELY NEED TO GO BACKWARDS EVEN IF WE WENT TO THE MID POINT I HEARD DISCUSSION OF MAYBE NOT GOING BACK TO 3 PERCENT CAP TO ME I THINK THAT THAT'S THE GOAL THAT SHOULD BE THE GOAL OF CITY. THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE PASSED IN 2016. NO THAT TAX GAP WITH 3 PERCENT CAP SO WE SHOULD BE PUSHING TOWARDS THAT EVEN AT THAT LEVEL IT'S FIVE AND A HALF PERCENT INCREASE. AND KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE RIGHT HERE USUALLY ARE UNDER UNDER BUDGET. YOU WILL USUALLY BUDGET LOWER THAN WHAT WE'RE ACTUALS ARE BY THE END OF THE YEAR SO THIS ISN'T DOOM AND GLOOM. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD DO OUR BEST TO WORK WITHIN THAT CAPACITY. AND LOOKING FORWARD KNOW THIS NEXT YEAR WE EVEN IF WE WENT TO 3 PERCENT CAP WHICH WOULD BE EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TWO MILLAGE POINTS WE'D STILL PROBABLY BE THE HIGHEST TAX CITY IN THE COUNTY OR PRETTY PRETTY CLOSE TO IT. I THINK THE ONLY ONE BEYOND US RIGHT NOW IS MELBOURNE VILLAGES IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY WHICH KNOW WAS NOT MUCH OF A COMPARISON THAT'S MORE OF HOA THAN A ACTUAL CITY. SO FAR AS FULL SERVICE CITIES GO WE ARE THE HIGHEST AND HAVE THE HIGHEST TAX RATE. AND AND AND I WILL JUST SAY IT AGAIN JUST LIKE I'VE SAID IN THE PAST IT'S A BARRIER TO ENTRY FOR ALL NEW NEW DEVELOPMENT IT HAS A LOT MORE EFFECT ON NEW RESIDENTS AND AND COMMERCIAL THAN IT DOES ON CURRENT RESIDENTS BECAUSE MOST CURRENT RESIDENTS WILL HAVE SOME TYPE OF HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS AND SO FORTH SAVE OUR HOMES THEY HAVE THINGS THAT THAT KEEP IT LOWER EVEN THOUGH EVEN THOUGH WE KEEP INCREASING BY THIS PERCENTAGE WHEN WE GO UP BY FIVE POINT FOUR POINT TWO PERCENT IT'S A BIGGER INCREASE A BIGGER DIFFERENCE DIFFERENTIAL WHEN COMPARED FOR OUR COMMERCIAL COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS WHERE THEY COULD BUILD. AND THAT'S WHY WE REALLY DO NEED TO PULL THAT BACK. AND ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE ONLY ONE NO I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A ONE MILL THIS YEAR OR WHAT HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THE FIRST DRAW ON THE BOND NO MATTER WHAT WHETHER IT'S THIS YEAR WHETHER IT'S FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THERE'S GONNA COME A TIME PERIOD WHERE FOR 20 YEARS IT'S GONNA BE IT'S GONNA BE EXTRA THREE MILLS I MEAN SOMEWHERE IN THAT AREA. WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE WE'RE GONNA BEAR THE BRUNT OF IT OVER THAT TIME PERIOD. NOW WE HAVE A A A WARMING UP PERIOD AND THEN AT THE END WE'LL HAVE A COOLING OFF PERIOD WHERE IT WILL SLOWLY COME BACK DOWN. BUT EITHER WAY WE'RE STILL GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING THAT OVER A LONG PERIOD TIME WHILE ALSO HAVING THE HIGHEST MILL OR HIGHEST MILLAGE RATE TAX RATE IN THE COUNTY. SO I I I HUNDRED PERCENT SUPPORT GOING BACK TO TO THE CAP OR TRY TO GET BACK TO ROLLBACK. I KNOW THAT'S PRETTY NOT REALISTIC [INAUDIBLE] THIS YEAR THAT'S STILL TWO POINT THREE POINT FOUR TWO POINT THREE FOUR PERCENT INCREASE EVEN AT ROLLBACK IT'S STILL AN INCREASE. SO I DON'T THINK THAT'S I THINK THE 3 PERCENT CAPS MORE REASONABLE. OK. ANYTHING ELSE FROM US YOU NEED. NO I THINK I HEARD PRETTY CLEAR ON THE ON DISCUSSION WISE WHERE YOU'RE AT. I DO WANT TO REASSURE COUNCIL THAT WE ARE WATCHING OUR COMMERCIAL COS AND BUILDING PERMITS THAT ARE BEING ISSUED.OBVIOUSLY THE [INAUDIBLE] IS VERY KEY AND IMPORTANT IN WATCHING THAT BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT HITS THE [INAUDIBLE] BEFORE TWELVE THIRTY ONE HITS YOUR TAX ROLLS. SO THAT'S THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US AND WE ARE WATCHING THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE KIND OF ON THE RADAR. WE'VE HAD SOME SOME LARGE PROPERTY SALES THIS YEAR SO WE'LL HOPEFULLY SEE THOSE IN THE FUTURE TOO. AS FAR AS THE POLICY OR OTHERWISE CASH I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT NO DECISION TO BE MADE AT THIS MOMENT OBVIOUSLY I DO WANT TO JUST HIGHLIGHT MAYBE IN THE PUBLIC WORKS REQUEST BAR PROGRAM THEY HAVE THE THEY HAVE A ROAD PROGRAM OF TWO MILLION DOLLARS ALSO ALLOCATED. SO I DIDN'T LIKE HADN'T THIS IS NOT AN APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE LIST SO DEPENDING ON HOW WE GO WILL THIS LIST WILL SHOW WILL SHIFT AROUND AS WELL SO FOR CASH VALUE AND WHAT NOT. YES AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A VERY CONSERVATIVE EFFORT ON STAFF'S PART THIS YEAR. I THINK LAST YEAR WAS SIXTEEN POINT SOMETHING MILLION DOLLARS OF REQUESTS IN GENERAL FUND AND THIS YEAR IT'S [INAUDIBLE] GET THAT NINE MORE NINE MILLION. I WOULD ASK THEM STAFF TO DO IS TO YOU KNOW WHAT DO
[00:40:03]
YOU DO IN THE ONE YEAR AND WHAT ARE YOUR CAPITAL NEEDS FOR THIS ONE YEAR FOCUS THERE AND THEN WE CAN AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE. SO NOT A LOT OF PERSONNEL WHICH IS YOU KNOW THOSE ARE RECURRING COST THE ONE TIME MY REQUESTS ARE GOOD. CAPITAL FUNDING WAS DEFINITELY A NEED. NOT INCLUDED OTHERWISE I DID MENTION THAT STAFF'S KICKOFF IT'S NOT IN YOUR REPORT AND NOT IN THE SLIDES BUT IF WE DID A 1 PERCENT MERIT FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE GENERAL FUND ARENA IT'D BE A FOUR AND THIRTY SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE AS WELL NOT IN YOUR BAR REPORT EITHER SOMETHING I WANTED TO TRY TO ATTAIN TO THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD RAISES TO OUR EMPLOYEES FOR OTHER THAN COST OF LIVING CPI SINCE PROBABLY 2009. I THINK IT'S BEEN ABOUT 10 YEARS.STARTED WITH THE FURLOUGHS WHERE THE EMPLOYEES TOOK A ONE TIME RETIREMENT SWAP OUT TO GET THEIR OWN RAISE AND THEN ONE TIME TO OPT INTO A 6 PERCENT AND THEN THEY REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING SINCE THEN. SO THAT WAS JUST AN [INAUDIBLE]. YOU MAY SEE THAT IN THE FUTURE WE MAY ONLY BRING IT BACK AS FAR AS GENERAL FUND. WE HAVE A G1, G2, G3. G 3 IS YOUR YOUR MASS POPULATION. G1 G2 IS DIVISIONS AND DIRECTORS AND WE MAY OMIT THEM FROM THE RAISES AND AT LEAST OFFER MERITS TO THOSE THAT ARE BOOTS ON THE GROUND REALLY DOING THE WORK FOR US. SO JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT IN THERE FOR COUNCIL AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF STAFF THAT I I DIDN'T FORGET. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO THOROUGH. WITH THAT I GUESS WE'LL. YES. MAYOR. JUST LISA JUST KIND OF JOG SOMETHING. ONE OF THE ONE THE ITEMS LISTED IN HERE UNDER HR ON PAGE THE THIRD PAGE AND IF COUNCIL'S LOOKING IN THEIR PACKET. UNDERNEATH HR THE UNDER THE [INAUDIBLE] YEAH THE FIRST ONE IS [INAUDIBLE] THE FIRST LINE UNDER HUMAN RESOURCES IS FORTY FIVE THOUSAND FOR A CLASSIFICATION COMPENSATION STUDY. YES. NO I'M WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGAINST THAT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. I BELIEVE IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY TO SPEND IT OUT THAT WAY. I THINK THAT. AND I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THE. IT'S PAGE 5. PAGE 5. IT'S ACTUALLY THE [INAUDIBLE] THIRD THIRD PAPER SHE [INAUDIBLE]. IT'S DOUBLE SIDED. SO YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY YOUR 1, 2, 3. [INAUDIBLE] THAT PAGE. THEY'RE NOT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER I DO APOLOGIZE. SO ANYHOW. I'LL BE HERE [INAUDIBLE]. AND BY THE WAY I WANT TO THANK THE DIRECTORS AND THEIR STAFF FOR COMING BACK WITH I THINK A VERY YOU KNOW THEY'RE COMING BACK WITH THEIR THEIR THE MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITIES AND TAKING THE TIME TO REALLY SORT THEM DOWN TO THAT. BUT IT'S MY BELIEF THAT NO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IN-HOUSE NO WHETHER IT'S HR, CITY MANAGEMENT, WHOEVER REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT SEE WHERE ARE WE SEEING ATTRITION. WHERE ARE WE SEEING PEOPLE LEAVING. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT PAY. I THINK WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T NEED TO COMPETE TO BE THE HIGHEST PAYING PLACE IN BREVARD COUNTY, SPACE COAST, OR WHEREVER WE NEED BE THE BEST PLACE TO WORK. AND SO I THINK THAT WE JUST I THINK INTERNAL ANALYSIS OF EACH OF OUR DEPARTMENTS AND AND JOB POSITIONS MAYBE THERE ARE SOME JOB POSITIONS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT I THINK PAYING FORTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS OUT TO DO A COMPLETE STUDY OF EVERY POSITION WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY IN MY OPINION. AND [INAUDIBLE] USUALLY THAT'S KNOW A WAY OF COMPETING TO THE BOTTOM WHENEVER REALLY WE NEED TO HAVE A CRITICAL LOOK AT EACH DEPARTMENT DIVISION SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE THE JOB SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE THE THE SUPERVISOR KNOW IF THERE'S ONE PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT SUPERVISORS HAVE A LOT OF TURNOVER BUT I THINK THESE ARE TYPE OF COMMONSENSE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO INTERNALLY WITH OUR OWN HR MANAGEMENT STAFF. I JUST I'LL JUST NOTATE THAT THESE CITIZEN BUDGET ADVISORY BOARD ACTUALLY REQUEST THAT WE INCLUDE THIS ITEM AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO WORK ON THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS THEY HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT AND THEY HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL MEETINGS BEFORE THEY COME BACK TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE SECOND MEETING OF JULY SO I'M JUST NOTATING IT FOR. YEAH AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S COMING FROM OUR ADVISORY BOARD RATHER THAN STAFF AS WHAT IS THAT CORRECT. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH BECAUSE WE PROBABLY HAVEN'T HAD THAT REQUEST FROM SOME OF OUR OUR OUR EMPLOYEES AS WELL. YOU KNOW CLASSIFICATION COMPENSATION STUDY THAT OTHER OTHER CITIES OR OTHER PRIVATE INDUSTRIES ARE PAYING MORE. I'M THINKING ABOUT LEAVING SO THAT WE DO GET THAT FEEDBACK AND TURNOVER DOES OCCUR. SO TOOK THE RECOMMENDATION AND INCLUDED IT. I DON'T THINK IT WAS IN OUR FIRST ROUND OF OUR THOUGHTS PROCESSES BUT IT WAS INCLUDED AFTER THE FACT. OK WELL AGAIN I REALLY THINK THAT YOU YOU GUYS TAKE A CRITICAL LOOK AT THAT INTERNALLY AND MAYBE I'LL SIT DOWN WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT THIS SUMMER YOU KNOW LOOK AT SEE WHERE THOSE NUMBERS ARE. THAT'S MORE DATA BECAUSE I DON'T SEE THE JUSTIFICATION FOR US PAYING FORTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS OUT FOR. I UNDERSTAND WHERE THE BUDGET COMMITTEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MIGHT HAVE MIGHT BE COMING FROM [INAUDIBLE] ACTUALLY [INAUDIBLE] SOME OF THAT DISCUSSION AND SAT IN ON IT BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO MOVE. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CITIES USE IT AND I JUST I I HIGHLY DISAGREE WITH IT. NOTED THANK YOU SIR. OK. WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE PUBLIC FOR COMMENTS.
[PUBLIC COMMENTS:]
PUBLIC COMMENTS PHIL. PHIL WEINBERG 466 SCANLON ROAD. SO MUCH TO SAY SO LITTLE TIME. SO LET ME GET TO THE POINT. FIRST OF ALL I LIKE THE IDEA OF COMMITTING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY TO THE TO THE ROAD PROGRAM BY ORDINANCE MAKES SENSE.HOWEVER I DON'T WANT YOU TO REALLY USE IT AS A CRUTCH WHETHER IT'S ONE AND A HALF MILLION WHETHER [INAUDIBLE] YOU GO HEY WE'VE GOT THIS ORDINANCE WE'RE COMMITTING ONE AND A HALF TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO THE ROAD [INAUDIBLE] YOU STILL NEED TO TAKE SOME MONEY OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. WE NEED SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO MAINTAIN OUR ROADS ONCE THEY GET
[00:45:03]
FIXED. YOU KNOW THE CITY HAS TWO MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES ONE IS PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE OTHER IS INFRASTRUCTURE. WELL PUBLIC SAFETY YOU DO A DECENT JOB ALTHOUGH THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNMET CAPITAL NEEDS FROM FROM OUR PUBLIC SAFETY [INAUDIBLE] FIREMEN POLICE DEPARTMENT I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT AS FAR AS INFRASTRUCTURE GOES YOU'VE FAILED MISERABLY. AND IT'S NOT PERSONAL. NOT YOU. YOUR PREDECESSORS THEIR PREDECESSORS THE CITY AS A WHOLE HAS FAILED MISERABLY. THAT'S WHY FORTUNATELY EVEN AGAINST SOME OPPOSITION YOU ENACTED THE THE STORMWATER FUNDING ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. STORMWATER IS A DISASTER. THE STORMWATER SYSTEM FALLING APART. ALSO TOO FOR SOME BIZARRE REASON YOUR IRONS WERE PULLED OUT OF THE FIRE BY THE VOTERS VOTING FOR THAT HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR BOND. BUT AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MENTIONED COUNCILMAN SANTIAGO IS I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU USE THAT AS A CRUTCH AS AN EXCUSE NOT TO PUT THE MONEY THAT'S GOING TO BE NEEDED IN THE ROAD BOND. SAY YEAH HEY WE'RE NOT GOING TO NEED THAT [INAUDIBLE] MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER THAT OR THE YEAR AFTER THAT. WELL GUESS WHAT. NOW YOU'RE SETTING A PRECEDENT YOU'RE FALLING BACK INTO THE SAME EXCUSE THAT YOUR PREDECESSORS USED. WE NEED TO HAVE THAT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN THE ROAD FUND BY THE TIME THAT THIS ROAD BOND IS IS [INAUDIBLE]. SO YOU NEED TO START NOW. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S FEASIBLE WITH THIS BUDGET OR NOT I KNOW I'D LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST A MINIMUM OF THREE MILLION DOLLARS PUT INTO THE ROAD FUND THIS YEAR.YOU NEED TO GET INTO THE HABIT. IT'S TOUGH. I KNOW YOU'RE PULLED IN EVERY DIRECTION BY EVERY DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE SO MANY UNMET CAPITAL NEEDS BUT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE IMPROVING WE'RE GETTING BETTER AS FAR AS MEETING THOSE NEEDS. NOW PERSONALLY AND THIS MAY BE SOUND OUT OF CHARACTER FOR ME I CAN'T SEE YOU BREAKING THE 3 PERCENT CAP THIS YEAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD EXCUSE IT. AND I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. REASONABLY YOU SHOULDN'T. I CAN SEE GOING WITH THE AT THE 3 PERCENT CAP THE 8.1262 THAT'LL GIVE US THAT'S A FIVE POINT FOUR PERCENT INCREASE IN TOTAL REVENUE ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. THAT ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOESN'T REALLY GO THAT FAR I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IT'S AN IMPROVEMENT. AND WE NEED TO REALLY REALLY YOU KNOW SET OUR PRIORITIES AND THE PRIORITIES FIRST WILL HAVE TO BE HAVE TO BE PUBLIC SAFETY WHICH IS I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] LION'S SHARE OF OUR BUDGET AND INFRASTRUCTURE. INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING ADDRESSED WITH A STORMWATER FRONT AND AS WELL AS FORTUNATELY THIS BOND ISSUE BUT IT DOESN'T LET YOU GUYS OFF THE HOOK. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO [INAUDIBLE] FOR NOW. THANK YOU. MADE IT ON TIME PHIL. NEXT. BILL. BILL BATTIN 586 OCEAN SPRAY STREETS SW. BILL WEINBERG HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD FOR THE ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD.
WE'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE. HAVING A ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND THAT SITS ON THE BOOKS AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD BUT IF YOU DON'T REPAIR ANY ROADS WITH IT IT'S USELESS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD BUT IT DOESN'T ACCOMPLISH ANY OBJECTIVES. WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE CONSTANT ROAD MAINTENANCE THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW EVEN [INAUDIBLE] EVEN WHEN THEY START PAVING THE ROAD TO MAKING A CORRECTION. THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE THE REST OF THE CITY THAT'S STILL GOING TO NEED ROAD MAINTENANCE.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TRYING TO SAY WE'RE GONNA NEED SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR NOT COUNTING THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THAT HAS TO BE SPENT JUST TO MAINTAIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON ROADS. SO LET THAT BE YOUR GUIDING FACTOR ON THAT ONE. ITEM NUMBER 3. I'D LIKE TO SEE A POSTER OVER HERE THAT SHOWS BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT IT EVERYBODY WONDERING WHAT THE HELL THAT LOOKING AT OVER HERE IS THAT POSTER THAT SHOWS MY BUDGET THAT SHOWS WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING TO AND HOW WE'RE SPENDING IT AND HOW WE'RE WASTING IT. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT SO I CAN HAVE A VISUAL IN HERE TO WHEN I'M MAKING A POINT BECAUSE I'LL BE TRYING TO MAKE POINTS A LOT I WON'T GET ANY BUT I'LL BE TRYING TO MAKE THEM ALL RIGHT. NOW THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT ON PERSONAL SIDE. I WAS WHEN YOU BROUGHT UP DEBT SERVICES THAT CITY HAS TO PAY THOSE ARE FOR BONDS AND RESOURCES COMING OUT THAT HAS TO BE PAID. AND I'M GOING TO REVERT BACK TO OUR NINE MILLION DOLLAR BOND TO GO FOR A DEVELOPER OUT OF THE EMERALD LAKES. ALL RIGHT. THAT NINE MILLION DOLLAR BOND WE HAVE TO PAY DEBT SERVICES ON ON SOMETHING THAT A DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO BE PAYING FOR. AND I BROUGHT MY DOCUMENTATION WITH ME IF ANYBODY WANTS TO CHALLENGE THAT. THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE PAYING FOR IT BUT NOW I AM. ALL RIGHT. WELL IT'S COMING UP AT THE 19TH IS WHAT DAY AFTER TOMORROW OR FRIDAY. THAT ROAD IS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED THAT I'VE BEEN PAYING ON FOR TWO YEARS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED OUT ONTO BABCOCK STREET. GUESS WHAT. IT HASN'T HAPPENED AND I PUT THAT UP HERE BECAUSE YOU GOT THE MONEY FOR ME WITHOUT ASKING ME AND YOU'RE SPENDING IT. SO COME THE 19TH THAT PAVING IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE AND I'M LOOKING AT THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY PENALTY FOR THAT NOT HAPPENING. I SHOULD NOT SEE ANY EXCUSE FOR IT NOT TO HAPPEN. THEY HAD THE FUNDS DID
[00:50:05]
NOT MEET THEIR OBJECTIVE RIGHT. SO NO PLACE IN THIS BUDGET DO I WANT TO SEE ANYTHING HELPING THEM AND SAYING WELL WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THEM PAY. I'VE ALREADY PAID THEM. AND THAT LEADS TO ME ITEM NUMBER 2 ON THAT IS THIS STORMWATER IMPACT FEE FOR THE EXEMPTIONS. IF ANY OF MY GENERAL FUND COMES OUT PAYING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE AND YOU'RE GONNA GIVE A CONTRACTOR OR A DEVELOPER A BREAK. I WON'T LET IT FLY ON. I'LL COME CALL YOU OUT EVERY TIME ON IT. IT WAS JUST WRONG. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID YOU'VE GOT YOUR BUDGET. HOW'S THAT HAPPEN TO ME I HAVE NO IDEA. OK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME BILL. THANKS. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I'M MONICA KNIGHT. I AM THE PROUD PRINCIPAL OF ODYSSEY CHARTER JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AT 1350 WYOMING DRIVE. I AM HERE TO REPRESENT TWO THOUSAND CHILDREN YOU THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SERVE IN PALM BAY AT ALL THE ODYSSEY SCHOOLS. WE ARE SUPER PROUD TO BE THE PEOPLE THE SAFE KEEPERS OF THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY AND WE HAVE A VERY HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOL. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US. I'M HERE TO ASK FOR SOMETHING VERY SIMPLE. WE ARE A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND ALL OF THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVE AN SRO AT THEIR SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN PALM BAY. BY THE WAY WE OUTPERFORM ALL THOSE SCHOOLS JUST SAYING. AND BUT WE DO NOT RECEIVE ONE OF THOSE SRO'S AND WE ARE ASKING FOR YOU TO TREAT US JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. WE NEXT YEAR ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVING EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY CHILDREN AT OUR JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH AND OVER TWELVE HUNDRED STUDENTS AT THE WYOMING CAMPUS AND WE ARE HOPING IN YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS THAT YOU WILL KNOW THAT THESE CHILDREN DESERVE TO HAVE EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE AT SOUTHWEST OR BAYSIDE.OUR KIDS ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT. SO PLEASE COMMIT TO HELPING US GET OUR SRO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THOMAS GAUME 1700 LANTANA COURT NW. JUST ONE THING I WANTED TO CHECK ON IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET THAT BASICALLY WAS DOUBLE AND I JUST WANTED [INAUDIBLE] THE PAY OUT FROM THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER THAT CAUSED THAT OR WAS ONE OF THE VERY EARLY SLIDES LIKE THE SECOND OR THIRD SLIDE. THE OTHER THING IS THE POOL REPAIR. I NOTICED THE PARKS AND REC BUDGET WAS ABOUT ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION WHERE DOES THE POOL REPAIR FALL INTO THAT IT'S GOING TO FALL IN FISCAL YEAR 19 OR FISCAL YEAR 20. A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE POOL IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW. AGAIN I'LL ECHO WHAT MR. WEINBERG AND MR. BATTIN SAID YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE 3 PERCENT CAP THAT THE VOTERS PUT IN PLACE.
YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO STORMWATER ASSESSMENTS THAT THE VOTERS ALLOWED YOU TO PUT TO DO BUT WHEN THEY PUT THAT IN PLACE BUT YOU'VE NOT DONE THE OTHER THING THAT THEY HAVE ASKED AND STAY BELOW THE 3 PERCENT CAP. SO THIS YEAR IS YOUR FIRST CHANCE AT EIGHT POINT ONE TWO SIX TWO SHOULD BE THE MILLAGE RATE EVEN THOUGH THAT SEVEN POINT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT NINE SURE LOOKS GOOD TO BE BELOW BELOW EIGHT AGAIN BUT OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DO SUCH AS FIXING MALABAR ROAD AND A LOT OF THE OTHER THINGS GOING ON. BUT AGAIN INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IS WHERE WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE AT. IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO ENTERTAIN OR PROVIDE ANYTHING BEYOND THOSE BASIC NEEDS. SO THOSE WERE THE PRIORITIES NEEDS TO BE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AFTER THAT SHOULD FALL INTO PLACE. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT ANYONE ELSE. OK. YOU HAVE ANY REBUTTAL OR YOUR GOOD. I HAVE SOME WELL I CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THE ROAD MAINTENANCE. THE POSTER ACTUALLY HASN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE THE I PUT IT IN LIKE 2016 SO ACTUALLY [INAUDIBLE] ONE THAT ACTUALLY MOVED [INAUDIBLE] ROOM BECAUSE IT WAS SO OLD SO THAT I'M GETTING IT UPDATED AND RE SLICED UP FOR YOU IS DEFINITELY ON THE PRIORITY LIST FOR BUDGETING SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GO DOWN TO THE PENNY FOR EACH DOLLAR. SO THANKS BILL. SROS WE HAVE THREE SROS THAT ACTUALLY THIS THURSDAY COUNCIL APPROVED THE REIMBURSEMENT OF FIFTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE BREVARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPTIONS THAT ARE OPTION TO THEM. SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE ALLOCATED FROM OUR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE DO HAVE A REQUEST IN THE FY 20 BUDGET FOR ADDITIONAL 12 OFFICERS. THOSE ARE STILL FOR [INAUDIBLE] BUT I AM I IMPRESS UPON THE CHIEF THAT AND THE INTERIM CHIEF AND ALL OF HIS STAFF THAT IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GET MORE SROS OUT TO OUR SCHOOLS THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. AND I HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBERS THROUGH SHAKING
[00:55:03]
THEIR HEAD PLEASE. TO YOUR POINT WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE SROS WITHIN OUR ENTIRE CITY. WE HAVE THREE THEN WE HAD. [INAUDIBLE]. AND WE HAVE AN ALLOCATED ONE TO ANY OTHER CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL EITHER SO THE CONTRACT THE MOU THAT WE HAVE IS WITH THE BREVARD PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR FIFTY THOUSAND REIMBURSEMENT. AND AS I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A OFF DUTY DETAIL THAT WE OFFER AS AN OPTION FOR THE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND THAT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND YOU HAVE A CHOICE FOR OTHER OPTIONS FOR GUARDIANSHIP OR WHATNOT ACCORDING. BUT WE ARE WORKING ON TO GET MORE [INAUDIBLE] FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT I HEAR FROM THE FOLKS THAT WORK UNDERNEATH THE CHIEF AND HEAR FROM [INAUDIBLE] TIMES LIKE WE WERE SHORTHANDED TODAY WE'RE SHORTHANDED TODAY SHORTHANDED TODAY SO IT'S NOTED AND HAVE IT ON MY BOARD AND MY WHITE BOARD AND THERE'S FOUR OR FIVE WHITE BOARDS THAT JUST KEEP SAYING SROS SROS SROS SO THANK YOU THOUGH FOR BRINGING FORTH AND PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT. THE POOL MR. GAUME SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND IS IN THE BAR REQUESTS FOR THE POOL FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE POOL IT'S ACTUALLY IN NEXT YEAR'S REQUEST BUT YOU HAVE JUST AWARDED SOMEONE TO HELP US WITH IDENTIFYING EXACTLY WHAT IS LEAKING AT THE POOL BECAUSE THERE'S MULTIPLE REPORTS THAT SAY ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, LIGHTING, PORTALS, MAIN DRAIN LINER WE CAN SEE VISIBLY THE LINER DOES NEED TO BE REPLACED SO THAT'S A LARGE NUMBER. IT'S AN INTERESTING POOL IT'S A VERY PROPRIETARY POOL CALLED [INAUDIBLE] POOL YOU CAN ACTUALLY TAKE IT OUT OF THE GROUND AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANTED TO. IT'S MOVABLE [INAUDIBLE] DO THAT BUT THE POOL IS VERY INTERESTING AND WE DO ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO GET IT REPAIRED THIS YEAR. THERE IS SOME FUNDING THAT WE COULD PULL UP DEPENDING ON WHAT THOSE [INAUDIBLE] COME FORTH FOR THIS YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE OPEN BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY BUT WE ARE TRYING. THE PAYOUTS I THINK IT WAS NINETY THREE THOUSAND IT WAS AN ADJUSTED BUDGET AMENDED IF I GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS CITY MANAGER PAYOUT. I CAN VERIFY THAT WITH FINANCE FOR YOU FOR A DOLLAR VALUE BECAUSE I THINK I SAW THIS THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT THROUGH DECEMBER OR JANUARY TIMEFRAME AND IF I RECALL FROM MY HEAD THE ONE POINT ONE MILLION THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT INCREASE FOR FY 20 I'M PULLING FOUR FTES AND THE OPERATING FOR COMMUNICATIONS TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. SO IT'S TWO FROM IT. TWO FROM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLUS SOME OPERATING THAT GOES WITH IT SO THAT WOULD BE THE INCREASE IT SHOULD BE AN [INAUDIBLE] AT THE END AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH THE MINUSES BUT I'LL CHECK THE MATH FOR YOU MAKE SURE IT BALANCED OUT BUT I KNOW THAT WE HAD TO BE IN OUR MAXIMUM OPERATING BUDGETS VIA FINANCE AND I KNOW ANGELICA COLLINS OUR AND CYNTHIA [INAUDIBLE] THEY WERE VERY VERY YOUR YOUR OVER BY A DOLLAR TRY AGAIN. SO BUT I WILL VERIFY AND HELP YOU OUT ON THAT. THAT'S IT MAYOR SORRY.OK. AND MAYOR I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS REAL QUICK. JUST REITERATE THE FACT THAT IF WE HAVE MONEY SETTING ASIDE FOR ROADS AND WE DON'T ACTUALLY SPEND IT WE DON'T ACTUALLY BUDGET AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND PLAN TO SPEND IT BUT INSTEAD WE'RE KIND OF DOING THIS KNOW AFTER THE FACT. SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE LEFT OVER OR TRYING TO BUILD UP A SINGLE FUND THAT WE'RE NOT USING. IT'S GOING TO BE TOO EASY EASY TO SEE THERE'S JUST AS A PIGGY BANK AS A RAINY DAY FUND RATHER THAN A ROAD FUND AND IT SEE THAT THAT'D BE THE FIRST PLACE THAT WHEN WE HAVE EMERGENCY SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE FROM. BECAUSE IF I LOOK IN THE PAST WE SEE THAT WE'VE HAD TIMES WHERE WE'VE HAD MONEY THERE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE DO WE GET IN A PINCH SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WE TAKE FROM THAT MONEY [INAUDIBLE] THAT THAT'S THE EASIEST PLACE TO MOVE IT FROM. AND SO ANYHOW THAT'S WHY NO NO I HAVE NO PROBLEM PUTTING THE MONEY THERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALSO SPENDING IT NOT SPENDING IT NO PLAN ON SPENDING FIVE YEARS FROM NOW SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW BUT TODAY THIS YEAR WE HAVE A PLAN SIMULTANEOUSLY. I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN HARPING ON THAT WITH THE MANAGER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE ARE REESTABLISHING NEW LEADERSHIP WITHIN THAT DEPARTMENT WITHIN PUBLIC WORKS AND KNOW FRANK AND HIS TEAM HAVE HAD PLENTY OF WORK IN FRONT OF THEM GETTING READY FOR THE ROAD BOND. BUT I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A PRIORITY THAT THAT SHOULD BE STARTING TO PICK UP IN THE NEXT SECTION I SEE FRANK NODDING HIS HEAD SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL A BIT BETTER THAT I KNOW HE'S [INAUDIBLE] PLANNING OUT ANYWAYS. HE IS A ENGINEER THAT'S PART OF HIS JOB. THE LAST THING IS THAT KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO ODYSSEY AND THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL LAST NIGHT AND ALL THE CHARTER SCHOOLS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'RE ALSO PRESENTING TO THE SCHOOL BOARD. WE DON'T WE DON'T ESTABLISH THE CHARTER SCHOOLS OR ANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS INSIDE OF OUR CITY. THERE ARE SOME MAJOR QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THIS IS BEING FUNDED. WE HAVE STUDENTS FROM PALM BAY GOING TO OTHER CITIES SO THEIR CITIES ARE EXPECTED TO FUND IT. WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM OTHER MUNICIPALITIES FROM THE COUNTY COME INTO OUR SCHOOLS JUST BECAUSE THE SCHOOL BOARD MADE DECISIONS AND THE STATES MADE DECISIONS. MY OPINION THAT'S THEIR JOB. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SHOULD BE FUNDING IT FULLY. THEY'RE KIND OF PUTTING IT THEY'RE PUTTING A LITTLE BIT PRESSURE ON OUR BACK FOR THE REST OF THE THE TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND I APPRECIATE THAT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION BUT I HOPE THAT YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT THE CITY'S BUDGET AND WE NEED TO BE MAKING SURE THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AND STATES ON ON THEIR DOING THEIR PART OF IT BECAUSE THEY'RE ULTIMATELY THE ONES I THINK THEY'RE REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. WE HAVE ENOUGH ON OUR PLATE AS IT IS WITH INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT MEETING ADJOURNED.
