[00:05:01]
YOU WANT TO TURN THE PAGE LINDSEY TO START? UM, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH SOME LITTLE HIGHLIGHTS OF, UH, CHANGES FROM THE BUDGET THIS YEAR TO PROPOSE BUDGET NEXT YEAR.IT'S A LITTLE MORE DETAILED THAN WHAT YOU SAW LAST WEEK.
IT DOES GIVE SOME DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANGES.
UM, I'LL JUST GO OVER IT QUICKLY WITH YOU.
UH, THERE IS, UH, THERE IS AN INCREASE IN ADMINISTRATIONS PRIMARILY RELATED TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND WE PUT IN THE CITY SECRETARY, UH, HAS A VOTING MACHINE CONVERSION AND THAT'S, UH, BASICALLY WHAT THE INCREASED FARES FOR CITY ATTORNEY HAS REDISTRICTING AND THEY'RE ADDING A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT OR A COST OF, UH, THAT'S BASICALLY THEIR INCREASE IN FINANCE.
THE INCREASE IS RELATED TO, UH, CREDIT CARD MERCHANT FEES, PRIMARILY WITH SOME ADDITIONS TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
UM, THE, IT, THE INCREASES, THEY'RE ALL RELATED TO TWO NEW POSITIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED FOR THE IT DEPARTMENT.
UH, PLUS THERE'S BEEN INCREASES IN IT FOR THE ABOUT 155,000 FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS THIS YEAR.
UH, HUMAN RESOURCES DIDN'T HAVE ANY BASIC INQUIRIES.
UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS BASICALLY ONE NEW POSITION AND ONE TRANSFER POSITION THAT CAME FROM, UH, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
AND PLUS THEY HAVE SOME INCREASES IN THEIR DEMOLITION COSTS AS WELL.
CIVIC CENTER, THEIR BASIC INCREASE IS, UH, BUILDING NINE MINUTES FOR FORWARD BEING PASSED AND NEED SOME AIR CONDITIONING.
UH, WE HAVE DONE ALL OF THESE AND KNOW THAT EVERY DEPARTMENT ACROSS THE BOARD PLAYS A 2% SALARY GAME FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.
ALL THE DEPARTMENTS, UH, FELICE IS NEXT.
UM, THEY DO HAVE ONE DAY POSITION.
UH, FIRE HAS ONE NEW POSITION.
THE CAPTAIN AND THESE SUPPRESSION WORKS.
UH, THESE INCREASED BASICALLY HERE FOR EQUIPMENT SERVICES.
UH, THEY HAVE ONE DAY POSITION BUDGETED AND MECHANIC POSITION, EVERLY AND GPS VEHICLE TRACKING SOFTWARE.
UH, PLUS THEY HAD A CONSULTANT, UH, EDITED TO HELP US TRANSITION TO THE ZERO EMISSIONS.
THE RECREATION IS PROBABLY HAS THE BIGGEST INCREASE, BUT THAT IS PRIMARILY FOR THE KEEPS LEAN PROGRAM.
I, I FORGOT TO TELL HIM TO CHANGE.
UH, DO YOU WANT ME TO START OVER AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS ONE PLEASE? OKAY.
ELISE, I'LL REMEMBER GOING TO CHANGE NEXT TIME.
POLICE HAS ONE NEW POSITION AND THAT'S THE SECRETARY POSITION.
BUYER ALSO HAS A NEW POSITION.
UH, IT'S A CAPTAIN IT'S FRESHEN AND THEN PUBLIC WORKS IS THE NEXT ONE THAT BASIC INCREASE IS ANY EQUIPMENT SERVICES.
IT'S ONE NEW POSITION WHICH HAS A MECHANIC POSITION.
PLUS THEY HAVE A VEHICLE TRACKING SOFTWARE REPOS AND A CONSULTANT FOR, UH, TRANSITIONING TO ZERO EMISSIONS.
THE NEXT LINE IS, UH, PARKS AND RECREATION, WHICH PROBABLY NO DON'T CHANGE IT.
UH, THE NEXT LINE IS PARKS AND RECREATION, UM, WHICH PROBABLY HAS THE BIGGEST TANK PRIESTS.
AND THAT IS BASICALLY FOR THE KEEP THE CITY CLEAN PROGRAM.
PLUS ONE NEW POSITION THAT'S PROPOSED FOR AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.
UH, THE LAST DEPARTMENT IS THE LIBRARY AND THEY HAVE SOME INCREASES THAT, UM, SINCE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THEIR, UH, AC, UH, THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING FARES.
SO THAT'S BASICALLY YOUR INCREASES FOR YOUR GENERAL BUD.
AND REMEMBER THEY DO ALL INCLUDE A 2% SALARY RATES NEXT PAGE, LINDSEY CANDY AS HIGHLIGHTS.
SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES THAT I'VE JUST DISCUSSED THAT KEEP THE CITY CLEAN FOR A GRAM 131,000.
[00:10:01]
THERE'S ALSO $400,000 IN EQUIPMENT.IN ADDITION TO THAT, THAT WE'RE BUDGETING FOR THAT PROGRAM.
UH, THE CITY SECRETARY HAS A VOTING MACHINE CONVERSION OF 250,000 REDISTRICTING, WHICH INVOLVES THE CITY SECRETARY AND THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR 150,000, THE CITY-WIDE STRATEGIC PLAN AND ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS, WHICH HAS BEEN A DEMONSTRATION FOR 150,000 AND THEN THE GPS VEHICLE TRACKING SOFTWARE AND EQUIPMENT SERVICES 400,000.
SO THAT'S THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR BASIC CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THE GENERAL? CAN YOU HEAR ME? HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? OH, OKAY.
UM, ON THAT, ON THAT PREVIOUS SCREEN, YOU WERE SAYING THAT ONE NEW POSITION HAD BEEN APPROVED FOR A SECRETARY ON THE, FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
FOR THE RIGHT THERE, POLICE ONE NEW POSITION BUDGET INCREASE THAT INCREASED.
THAT'S NOT ALL THE SECRETARY POSITION TO REMEMBER.
THERE'S A 2% SALARY INCREASE AND THE PERSONNEL BUDGET FOR, FOR POLICE IS RATHER LARGE.
SO IT MAKES UP THE REST OF THAT.
AND WHAT ELSE? THE PART OF THE, UM, 2% ACROSS THE BOARD RAISE FOR ALL PERSONNEL.
BUDGET WAS 2% FOR ALL PERSONNEL, UH, WHICH IS PROBABLY MORE THAN YOUR 96,000, BUT, UH, THEY'VE SOME DECREASES IN SOME OTHER AREAS TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
THAT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE ONE SALARY FOR 96,000.
IT REALLY DECREASED SOME OTHER AREAS BECAUSE IT DOES INCLUDE A 2% SALARY, UM, MALE PROTEIN.
YOU SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT FOR ONE NEW POSITION AND THAT THE 2% INCREASES, WHEREAS WHERE ARE YOU KEEPING THAT? WHERE WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN THE BUDGET? THE 2%.
BUT WHEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE WE HAVE OVER A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES, RIGHT.
SO I'M SAYING WHERE, WHERE DO YOU PLACE THAT 2%? OR IS IT BY DESIGNEE BY DEPARTMENT? BECAUSE I WANT TO CONCERNED WITH 90TH THAT'S 17% SO THAT THEY MUST HAVE SOME DECREASES AND OTHER LINE ITEMS. SO WHERE WERE YOU, WHERE WERE YOU AT? IT LET'S LOOK AT THEIR PAGE AND WE CAN SEE THIS IS ON PAGE 38.
YOU CAN SYDNEY THAT YOUR SALARIES, REGULAR EARNINGS IS INCREASED FROM 12 ONE TO 12 TWO.
SO THAT'S, THAT IS YOUR 2% PLUS YOUR NEXT POSITION.
UH, AND THEN ALL OF THE BENEFITS THAT GO WITH THAT, AND WE'VE NEVER HAD THIS POSITION BEFORE OR YEAH.
AND THE SECRETARY POSITION THEY REQUESTED.
CITY MANAGER, YOU GOT TO, YOU GOT A SPOT ON WHERE THAT PERSON'S GOING TO BE.
WHAT DEPARTMENT IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
NO, EVERYTHING IS BY DEPARTMENT HERE.
SO IF, IF IT SAYS A NEW POSITION POLICE IT'S WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SOMEWHERE, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'M TRYING TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS, UM, I'M LOOKING AT THE SCREEN, JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DON'T, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE LIGHTS.
SO JUST BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
THE QUESTION I HAVE IS, UH, THE UNFILLED POSITIONS FROM THIS PAST, BUT DID YOU HEAR, ARE THEY THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THIS 20.1, 5 MILLION? YES THEY ARE.
AND HOW MANY, HOW MANY OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE THERE? NO UNFILLED POSITION, NO POSITIONS.
THEY HAVE ABOUT 16 RIGHT NOW, I THINK IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
[00:15:01]
YES.HOW LONG, UH, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF TIME? THOSE POSITIONS HAVE GONE UNFILLED PHYSICIANS HAVE GONE FIELD FOR QUITE SOME TIME THIS YEAR.
THEY'VE AVERAGED ABOUT THAT MUCH THE WHOLE YEAR.
I THINK THEY'VE HAD SOME DIFFICULTIES IN HIRING AND OTHER ISSUES.
SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THEY THEY'VE BEEN, THEY'VE GONE ON FIELD FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR OR FOR LONGER THAN THAT? SOME PART OF THE YEAR, BUT SOMEBODY LET'S MAKE A NOODLE CHIEF.
WOULD BE KNOWN ANYONE ELSE? MIC.
CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ALL THE VACANT POSITIONS, MR. MANAGER.
JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION, WE DO BUDGET FULL EMPLOYMENT CANDY.
WHAT WAS THAT? YOU DO BUDGET FOR FULL EMPLOYMENT.
ARE YOU MAKING A STATEMENT OR ARE YOU JUST NOTIFYING THE COUNCIL? I JUST WAS MAKING A STATEMENT THAT WE DO THE EMPLOYMENT AND THE VACANCIES WERE REFLECTED AT THE END OF THIS YEAR, UH, WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
BUT WE ARE BUDGETING AGAIN FOR, FOR, YOU KNOW, IN HOPES THAT THEY'LL FILL POSITIONS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCILMAN? I'M GOOD.
FOR LANSING, THE VERY NEXT PAGE.
THIS IS JUST A LITTLE, UH, BRIEF HIGHLIGHT OF, UH, WATER AND SOLID WASTE.
WATER WATER OPERATIONS DOES HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IN THREES BUDGETED FOR NEXT YEAR OUT $2 MILLION TO HAVE INCREASES IN OVERTIME, TAMP SERVICES, EQUIPMENT, A LOT OF EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE.
UH, ALSO IN THERE, THEY DO HAVE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO COVER THE SAME GRACE.
UM, BUT THERE THEY ARE BUDGETING SOLID WASTE BUDGETING REDUCTION FOR NEXT YEAR, PRIMARILY DUE TO A LANDFILL DIRT AND FALLING LINE ITEM.
SO HE DID BUILD IN A REDUCTION OR THE LANDFILLS ARE, THERE'S ALSO A, UH, SMALL AMOUNT BUDGETED FOR A RATE STUDY FOR THE SOLID WASTE, BUT THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAD ON THOSE ARGUMENTS.
UH, WE'RE GONNA KIND OF MOVE INTO THE NEXT ONE, LINDSEY, UH, INTO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH IS, UM, UH, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK.
A LITTLE MORE, UH, FUNDING IS PRIMARILY FROM OPERATIONS, THE BOND ISSUES LIKE GRANTS AND FROM OPERATIONS, WE ARE TRANSFERRING 7.9 MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND ONE AND A HALF MILLION FROM ONE TILL EIGHT WE'RE PLANNING ON ISSUING $10 MILLION FOR STREET RECONSTRUCTION.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT GRANT.
THAT IS BOY, THAT IS 26.6 MILLION EXPENSE MANCY.
UH, THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PROPOSED, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET WE HAVE OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR 22, ONLY 53.3 MILLION FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
WE HAVE BUDGETED 13.5 MILLION DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, 300,000 GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS, 8.3 MILLION DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION, UM, LESS AND A HUNDRED THOUSAND, UH, CHINA'S CAPITAL EXPENDITURES OF BRING VALUE IN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN, 26.6 MILLION IN WATER UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS OF ONE AND A HALF MILLION.
NEXT PAGE
WE DO PLAN TO ISSUES, CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION.
[00:20:01]
HISTORY FOR RECONSTRUCTION.AND THEN WE ARE TRANSFERRING ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF MILLION FROM THE GENERAL SIDE OF THE STREET GROUP APP.
AND PRETTY MUCH KIND OF GAVE YOU A TWO YEAR VIEW ON THIS ONE THIS TIME YEAR PLUS FISCAL YEAR 23, UH, PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 22, TOTAL 4.3 MILLION AND 10 MILLION FOR FISCAL YEAR 23 OR THIS UPCOMING YEAR AT 22, WE PROPOSED, UH, THE NEW POLICE SUBSTATION 1.2 MILLION, UH, ONGOING TO CITY HALL OR 500,000.
AND THEN WE PLANNED TO START THE REPLACEMENT AT FIRE STATION TWO AND THREE WITH A MILLION DOLLARS.
EACH DEPARTMENT COLLABORATIVE STATION FACED 30 600,000.
AND IT WILL BE FUNDED FROM HOTEL OCCUPANCY THAT WE HAVE FROM THE GENERAL.
UH, IN 23, WE WILL START ON A REAL PATIENT AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY FOR ELISE BAR OR FOUR AND A HALF MILLION, UH, ONGOING, BUT I SHOULD SAY THE CITY ALL 500,000 AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE FIRE STATIONS, TWO AND THREE, FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS EACH.
SO WE DO PLAN TO ISSUE SOME MORE CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION IN FISCAL YEAR, 23 OF 13 AND A HALF BILLION AND TRANSFER ABOUT HAVING NOON FROM
YES, I'M THE PROJECTS, UH, THE MOVEMENT OR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
IT'S ALREADY BUDGETED THIS YEAR.
IF YOU I'M ONLY SHOWING WHAT IS ON THE NEXT FEW YEARS, BUT IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR BUDGET, HOW ONE THING, UM, WENT 1 23, IT SHOWS ME WHEN YOU'RE BEGINNING PROJECTS ARE THAT ARE ONGOING.
UH, WE HAVE SIX, 6.1 MILLION THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO HEALTH DEPARTMENT ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION, BUT THAT'S ONGOING.
YOUR CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE MULTICARE BUDGETED.
UH, SO ONCE IT'S BUDGETED, IT'S THERE AND TOTALLY SPEND IT.
SO IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE NEXT YEAR.
RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY, THEY'RE ALREADY GETTING TO DONATE TO REALLOCATE THE MONEY.
I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE PREVIOUS SCREEN, YOU TALKED, YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE SHOWING THE STREETS WHERE WE'D ALLOCATED.
CAN YOU TURN BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SCREEN RIGHT QUICK, RIGHT THERE.
UM, PREVIOUS WE HAD PROJECTS OF A STREET RECONSTRUCTION FOR 10 MILLION.
THAT'S THE 10 MILLION THAT WE'RE USING IN ALLOCATING TO DO STREETS.
AND THEN YOU SAID STREET REMEDIATION AND REHAB $3.5 MILLION.
AND YOU SAID THAT THAT 3.5 MILLION WOULD BE COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.
SO WHEN YOU COMBINE THE $3.5 MILLION, THAT'S COMING FROM, UH, THE GENERAL FUND AND ON THE NEXT SCREEN, NEXT SCREEN, PLEASE.
AND WHEN YOU SHOW THE NEXT SCREEN, YOU LOOK, AND WE SEE GENERAL FUND FUNDING SOURCE $2.8 MILLION.
AND THEN, UM, AND THEN YOU GOT A $0.5 MILLION IN 2023, RIGHT? THERE'S A TOTAL OF 2.7 0.9 MILLION COMING FROM THE GENERAL FUND AND VARIOUS APPLE IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2010.
SO LET ME JUST ASK THE QUESTION THAT I WANT TO ASK THEN.
SO IN THIS BUDGET THAT WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT AND WHICH WE WILL BE LOOKING AT FOR, UM, THE PHYSICAL 2122 YEAR, HOW MUCH IN TOTAL ARE WE TAKING FROM GENERAL FUND, UM, TO, UM, TO ADD TO THIS BUDGET IN ORDER TO BALANCE IT, THERE'S THERE'S 7.9 MILLION GOING AFTER MINUTES.
[00:25:01]
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR? WE'LL BE TAKING $7.9 MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR, GO BACK TO PAGE SIX, SOME THEM RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE FROM GENERAL FUND.THIS IS ALL THE FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS YEAR.
YOU CAN FINISH CITY FACILITIES WHEN YOU'RE AROUND PARKS AND RECREATION.
OUR REPORT DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY.
MAYBE APPLE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
THEN YOU HAVE A PARKS AND RECREATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 22.
PLEASE PLAY SCAPES THE 300,000 AND THAT'S THE AMOUNT WILL FUNDED FROM THE GENERAL FILE.
AND THEN THE REST, THE MILLION DOLLARS COMES FOR THE CONTRIBUTION OF SALES TASKS, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR ROSE HILL ADAMS PARK AND IT'S REC CENTER, THE REC CENTER, ART RENOVATIONS.
I LOVE THAT WORD THERE A TOTALLY $1.3 MILLION ON FISCAL YEAR 22 FOR THE PARKS PROJECTS.
NEXT PAGE, JUST KIND OF A SMALL AMOUNT BUDGETED FOR WATER APPROVED THIS NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF ONGOING PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE WORKS.
A 1.5 MILLION, WHICH IS FUNDED FROM THE WATER FIVE TO BEING PASSIVE COLLECTION SYSTEM 500,000 AND AN ELEVATED STORAGE TANK.
THIS IS THE PAGE WHERE, UH, WE LISTED OUT THE TENTATIVE PROJECTS WITHIN EUROPE AND RISKY ON IT.
WE DID RECEIVE 13 MILLION OF THAT THIS YEAR AND THE REST WOULD BE SENT TO US ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS.
WE HAVE A SPECIFIED OR $1 MILLION FROM RECOVERED REVENUE LOSS, AND THAT MONEY CAN BE USED FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
AND WE'VE NOT SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED ANY OF THOSE PROJECTS AT THIS TIME.
UH, IF WE HAVE THE REPLACEMENT OF 57 WATERLINE REMAINS, UH, 18 BILLION, AND WE HAVE THE LANDFILL DIRT PROJECT, WHICH IS THE TCQ COMPLIANCE FOR 2 MILLION BROADBAND WI-FI FOR PARKS, THE MILLION DOLLARS HEALTH DEPARTMENT VACCINATION CENTER, OR $2 MILLION WESTSIDE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, 17TH AND 19TH FOR $2 MILLION.
AND THEN THE GRANT MANAGEMENT ADMIN PAUSE FOR 600,000 POWS, YOUR 26.6 MILLION.
THAT IS THE INCLUSION OF WHAT I HAVE PAIRED WITH THIS SQUEAK.
UH, WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, HAPPY TO ANSWER, OR THERE'S, THERE'S THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO COVER THAT WE HAVEN'T COVERED.
LET US KNOW SO THAT WE CAN PUT THEM ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT TUESDAY, THE NEXT WORKSHOP AS I'M INTO SEPTEMBER STUFF, COUNSEL, COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS? ANY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, RECAP SUGGESTIONS.
THERE IS A QUESTION COUNCIL AND MARKS.
ON THE DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION.
WELL, I'M LOOKING AT PAGE 1 24 OF THE, UH, OF THE BUDGET.
WE'VE GOT $4 MILLION FOR FIBER OPTICS IMPROVEMENTS.
CAN WE, UH, CAN, UH, CAN YOU SHARE OR MR. UH, MANAGER, MR. CITY MANAGER, AND YOU SHARE WHERE WE WITH WITH THAT FIVE OPTICS PROJECT, $4 MILLION, THREE, $3 MILLION IS FROM, UM, ED IS $700,000 IS FROM THE CITY GENERAL FUND THAT WE
[00:30:01]
HAD TO PUT AS THE MATCH IN ORDER TO GET THAT GOOD.WE HAVE MET PRELIMINARY, PRELIMINARY WITH, UM, FURIOUS, UM, HERE IN COMPANIES TO LOOK AT THE DESIGN AND THE LOCATION.
WHAT I'VE GOT TO DO RIGHT NOW IS TO MAKE SURE THAT I'VE GOT IT IN PLACE TO DETERMINE, TO DO THE NECESSARY AND SURVEY THAT'S NECESSARY FOR THAT, SO THAT WE COULD DETERMINE WHERE THE EASEMENTS ARE IN ORDER TO GET THAT STORY.
AND WE'VE GOT ABOUT THREE TO FIVE YEARS TO GET THAT DONE, BUT WE DO INTEND TO, UM, WORK ON THAT THROUGH THE NEW FINANCIAL YEAR.
YOU SAID, WE'VE GOT THREE TO FIVE YEARS TO, TO, TO WORK ON THAT.
WE'LL GET THAT MONEY EXPENDED UNACCOUNTED FOR RIGHT.
IF YOU GO BACK TO, UM, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE BUDGET, SOME OF IT HAS BEEN, I WILL GET INTO BROADBAND AND THAT SORT OF THING, WHAT, WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS REALLY A VERY COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PAST THAT THE VARIOUS THEORIES, MAYBE WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE WIFI, YOU KNOW, IN THOSE AREAS.
SO THE, THE CHALLENGE IS TO PLAN IT PROPERLY, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK, AS FAR AS TOOLS, AND TO BE STRATEGIC IN WHAT WE'RE DOING ILLEGALLY ADULTS.
RIGHT? AND, AND NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I, I CAN RECALL, UH, WHEN, UH, AS A MEMBER OF THE, UH, THE ADC, WHEN WE ACTUALLY APPROVE THE FUNDS OR FOR THE, UH, TO SHARE WITH, WITH THE CITY, UH, FOR THE FIBER OPTICS, WE WERE TOLD AT THAT TIME IT WAS GOING TO BE A THREE TO FIVE YEAR, UH, PROJECT.
BUT THAT WAS, I WANT TO THINK THAT WAS IN 2017 OR 2018.
AND RIGHT NOW YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE STILL IN THE WE'RE, WE'RE STILL IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES OF ACTUALLY GOING OUT.
WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE A DESIGN YET, BUT JESSICA LET, LET ME MAKE THAT CORRECTION.
THE EDC DID NOT SHARE ANY FUNDS GO.
THIS, THIS, THIS IS FUNDING FROM E G E $300,000 CAME FROM THE EDB AND THE CITY APPLIED FOR THE PROJECT, FOR THE FUNDING, FROM EDA, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF FLOYD BACK, HE'S WORKING WITH US WAS NOT AN EDC PROJECT.
IT HAS NEVER BEEN AN EDC PROJECT.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CITY PROJECT BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY, YOU HAVE TO MATCH IT WITH $700,000.
AND SO WHAT DID WE HAVE TO DO? WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT CAME DOWN THROUGH THE ERA THAT WE VERY STRATEGIC.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, JUST LAST WEEK, I HAD A MEETING WITH THE EDA TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LETTER, THE LETTER OF OFFER WILL BE APPROVED SOMETIME SHORTLY.
I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK CAUSE YET FROM THE EDA.
SO WE ARE STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES ALL THE TIME.
I'VE NOT BEEN ISSUED FROM THE EDA.
WE KIND OF GO AHEAD AND BILL, BECAUSE THE MONEY'S NOT IN THE BANK BECAUSE HERE, SO WE ARE STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES WITH THE EDA.
WE'RE STILL HAVING MEETINGS WITH THEM.
AND WE HAD THE LAST MEETING LAST WEEK WITH THEM IN ORDER TO FIND A LIFE.
SO MONEY'S NOT IN THE BANK AS YET.
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE LETTER OF ALLEGATION, THAT'S IT FROM THE EDSA ANSWER.
UH, I KNOW, UH, THE COUNCIL WOMAN HOLMES ASKS FOR THE INFORMATION AS WELL.
WE'RE GOING TO, THE NEXT TIME WE MEET, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE INFORMATION BASEBALL VACANCY THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND NEW ADDED JOBS.
THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WASN'T ANY JOBS.
AND I KNOW SHE'S, I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE BY THE NEXT MEETING THAT WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION, ANY ADDED JOBS, AS WELL AS, UH, HOW MANY VACANTS DID WE STILL HAVE IN THE CITY THAT WERE BUDGETED FOR? SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, QUESTIONS.
[00:35:01]
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBERS.ALL RIGHT, STAFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS ON TODAY.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR FUTURE MEETING AND WE'LL BE FORMULATING SOME OTHER QUESTIONS AND, AND, UH, SO WE CAN PUT OUR BUDGET, UH, IN PLACE.
