00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,120
general financial statements um I'd be

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,680
happy to take at this point could you

189
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,519
just go over a again about the liability

190
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:45,240
that you talked about the 9.9 million

191
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:47,920
liability increase sure the um

192
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,120
underfunded ERS and pfrs so those

193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,640
evaluations are so ERS and pfrs are

194
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,600
under gas saer number 68 the state has

195
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,920
an actal evaluation done and what they

196
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,360
do is they have to report to us whether

197
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,120
we have if they're in an asset sit

198
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,519
situation or a liability situation for

199
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,279
overfunding or underfunding both of

200
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,760
those um pension systems are underfunded

201
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:10,480
which essentially means that they have a

202
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,240
liability that that is allocated on a

203
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,480
pro-rated basis to each municipality

204
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,480
that's part of that system so in theory

205
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,120
as of 123123 should those systems fail

206
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,240
in theory the city would owe 9.9 million

207
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,000
for ERS and 42.9 million for police and

208
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,200
fire we know that would never happen

209
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,360
there's safeguards in place but gby

210
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,360
statement 68 does require that that is

211
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,279
plac on in the long-term dead fund as a

212
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,120
life and that's the same with G State 75

213
00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,320
for the other post employment benefit

214
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,839
benefit that's a liability as well

215
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,120
that's done on an Actuarial basis so the

216
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:46,680
actuary provides a report that says you

217
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,160
know this is your projected liability

218
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:51,560
based on our our inputs and outputs into

219
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,120
into this calculation at that given time

220
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:55,880
so I know those numbers seem really

221
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,000
massive you know and it's kind of scared

222
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,839
up some they for lack of a better term

223
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,680
can be considered paper liability ities

224
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:03,680
where they're not going to be funded

225
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,279
they cannot be funded but ultimately

226
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:09,720
those are viations that have to be put

227
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:12,360
on to the STS thank you so question you

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,360
said uh that part of the federal AIT

229
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,720
process that you have to rotate three

230
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,000
major programs what do you mean by that

231
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,720
so every so your major programs are any

232
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,480
programs that are over $750,000 or meet

233
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,959
certain risk criteria so that AUD if

234
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,880
that program was audited in the previous

235
00:11:25,959 --> 00:11:31,760
year it was over 750 we had findings we

236
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,079
then have to AIT that program again so

237
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,639
every third year so essentially like um

238
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:38,200
like your lead Grant you spend more than

239
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:40,560
$750,000 on your Le Grant this year but

240
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,320
I audited that program last year without

241
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:44,240
any material there was no findings no

242
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,760
significant efficiency so I did not have

243
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,240
to once again audit it this year as well

244
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,000
the arpa program is so large that we

245
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,760
consider a higher risk from our

246
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,040
standpoints our internal risk assessment

247
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,639
says this is brand new program very high

248
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,680
dollar amount we're going to audit it

249
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,600
every year IR regardless of what we can

250
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,399
or cannot do so that's that's kind of

251
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,320
from our our our side what we're doing

252
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:06,320
for our risk assessment that program

253
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,920
okay so I had a question and I imagine

254
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:17,240
your report it gets more detailed U just

255
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,959
wanted to confirm you said Pages 52 and

256
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,560
53 give that assessment of the balances

257
00:12:19,959 --> 00:12:24,720
uh I imagine that gets into uh how our

258
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,079
rating is a c is

259
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:30,680
outline I'm sorry you're reading or I

260
00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:32,920
think there's like a a like a the bond

261
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,160
rating so the bond rating is discussed

262
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,160
in the Management's discussion and

263
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,440
Analysis the details of the actual fund

264
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,320
balance with all the different funds

265
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,440
that's going to be on pages 52 and 53 so

266
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,720
you can see how much is restricted what

267
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,199
it's restricted for if there's

268
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,399
incumbrances details of all those

269
00:12:46,199 --> 00:12:49,399
different balances thank

270
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,680
you um you mentioned um the arpa um loss

271
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Revenue $8 million that was set aside

272
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:02,279
and we only used um $6 million does that

273
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,440
mean that we have $2 million available

274
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:07,399
using 24 now yeah well I was going to

275
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,279
say was even more than that so was I

276
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:12,199
think

277
00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:14,320
Tony I think it was $11 million in total

278
00:13:12,199 --> 00:13:17,800
but we use six six and change this year

279
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,800
and then the rest of it is budg

280
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,560

Reserves expenditures compared to the

365
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,319

the financial outcome of the golf fund

368
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:12,199

369
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,199
concerns in

370

2024 the water fund uh from an

371
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:19,480
operational standpoint activities in the

372
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:21,959
water fund are closely tracking those of

373
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,199
2023 raising no budget concerns at the

374
00:17:21,959 --> 00:17:25,919
present time based on an original

375
00:17:24,199 --> 00:17:28,199
adopted budget through March 2024 the

00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:30,600

his projected

382
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,000
expenditures the revenues are down in

383
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:46,840
2024 due to the timing of issuing uh n

384
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,559
Uno water

385
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:54,919
bill uh which is uh approximately

386
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:58,280
$648,000 the expenses are up in 2024 due

387
00:17:54,919 --> 00:18:01,320
to early use of water repair line of

388
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,720
approximately 455,000 in

389
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,919
2024 the sewer fund from an operational

390
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,200
standpoint based on operational adopted

391
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:12,240
budget through March 2024 the city has

392
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,600
attained 63% of its projected sewer fund

393
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,840
revenue and expended 16% of its

394
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,200
projected sewer fund expenditures

395
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,360
throughing the same time period of 2023

396
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,080
the city has attained 62% of projected

397
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,720
revenue and expended 18% of the

398
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,520
projected proes use of type Capital

399
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,520
reserves is much higher at this point in

400
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,240
2024 than the same in 2023 by

401
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,960
approximately

402
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,600
66,000 so the finance department will

403
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,840
continue to monitor the numbers and

404
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Report City Council on a quarterly basis

405
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,000
um are there any questions at this

406
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,679
point um thank you for the breakdown

407
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,480
looking for clarification you said the

408
00:18:48,679 --> 00:18:53,520
vehicle repair increased uh are you able

409
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,360
to differentiate between like reing

410
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,240
maintenance and then just

411
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:02,039
acents uh the vehicle pair parts and

412
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,159
bringing to uh uh Gad shop to get the

413
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:07,400
repair um I think most of that is do the

414
00:19:04,159 --> 00:19:08,480
inflation the parts supply and demand um

415
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,960
so we're definitely seeing that

416
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
everything's

417
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,000
up so just you're you're not you're

418
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,760
suggesting that's probably just because

419
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,480
the increase of pars not necessarily

420
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,280
like more vehicles are breaking down or

421
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,480
there's an increase of things like that

422
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,360
it could be potentially B of Aging Fleet

423
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:30,440
and um you know just supply and demand

424
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:34,600
and then as We Know with the cost ofair

425
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:37,240
and you know getting those uh pars

426
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,159
from um you also said there was 11%

427
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:43,799
increase in for our healthcare costs

428
00:19:40,159 --> 00:19:47,919
yeah yes um well that's compared to

429
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:50,080
2023 um it's going up um we I think we

430
00:19:47,919 --> 00:19:52,840
showed you guys in the past and the

431
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,320
council wanted to cut um and was

432
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320
approximately a million dollarss at one

433
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,240
point but um it's just you know the way

434
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:02,480
the market is at this point um

435
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,480
FY can speak more towards

436
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:11,200
that on the health side uh during the co

437
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:14,960
period from 2020 to 2023 actually uh

438
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:19,400
because of the the co outbreak our our

439
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:22,799
uh uh fees for uh Health had steady and

440
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,039
actually gone down but as as uh 2023

441
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:27,000
emerged especially at the last uh

442
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:28,760
quarter the last half you know people

443
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,240
started going back to the doctors we

444
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,039
have a lot more babies and I'm sorry to

445
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:37,360
say we have a lot more people getting

446
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:40,760
sicker um and than you know than we we

447
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:44,039
we wish to uh in 2024 we saw that uh

448
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,400
last quarter of 2023 move increasing as

449
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:48,080
you can see at 11% more more people are

450
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,520
going to the doctors more people are

451
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:55,200
getting treatments and more people are

452
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:57,520
getting uh work done so uh uh the the

453
00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,200
price of uh the price has gone up but

454
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,320
you know I I always like to say that uh

455
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,280
because we have such a great uh uh

456
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,000
health benefit here at this concy you

457
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,640
know we're proud that our workers are

458
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,039
our C so well so it's it's it's to give

459
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:14,320
it costs more money but you know we're

460
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:14,320
giving a really good product to our our

461
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:25,960
employees so we have a 2023 completed

462
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:30,000
year and now this year at this point in

463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:31,600
time what areas are lying on expenses

464
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,640
that we should be concerned of that we

465
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,640
may I think I mentioned a bunch of them

466
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,760
I think those are definitely you know

467
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:42,480
you have a look out for um they could do

468
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,799
another that sorry top three top three

469
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,799
um health insurance is definitely one of

470
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:51,880
them um you know with the overtime cost

471
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:54,400
possibly PB and uh PD and fire

472
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,960
department um you know the council did

473
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,520
cut uh from this past budet year um you

474
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,799
know this first quarter is really hard

475
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,080
to tell at this point we'll have a

476
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:05,159
better idea in the second and third

477
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,559
quarter where we're going to sit um so I

478
00:22:05,159 --> 00:22:09,240
think about a month or so we'll have

479
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:12,039
another discussion uh for a second quar

480
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,880
more updated numbers thanks a

481
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:17,279
lot um in terms of the vehicle repairs

482
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,240
um 68% increase do you think that that

483
00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:22,960
might have been um lessened had we been

484
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,760
able to vote in our last budget about

485
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,760
going to the um going internal with our

486
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,200
vehicle repairs which I think was what

487
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,000
you guys had presented to us in the

488
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,480
budget but was rejected by the council I

489
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,840
I thought that we through if I recall

490
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,400
correctly went through yes oh I thought

491
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,799
we

492
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:46,520
um I think I think it took a

493
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:50,120
while in our in our group now okay but

494
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,559
we did keep that guy on overnight okay

495
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:55,240
that's also an increase but we're also

496
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:56,440
thinking work time okay cuz I thought

497
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,880
you said something about sending the

498
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:03,679
vehicles out just just now talking to I

499
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:06,200
was I no I I was asking is is it due to

500
00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:08,960
the increase of cost of price Parts what

501
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,480
I saying we do both we do both Miss

502
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,679
Patrick

503
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,520
okay but but to her point I thought that

504
00:23:14,679 --> 00:23:19,559
was going to kind of uh that was

505
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,799
supposed to cut our our cost as opposed

506
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:23,520
to but now doesn't seem like it

507
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:25,679
necessarily yeah I think like I said it

508
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,640
took a while to get someone in that

509
00:23:25,679 --> 00:23:30,200
position so I don't think we're really

510
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,720
seeing the fruits of yet okay maybe in

511
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,120
the second third quarter we'll actually

512
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:39,559
see you know that decrease

513
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:41,240
okay thank you Mr waves uh I know kind

514
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:43,080
of referencing our last budget cycle I

515
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,840
know a point of contention or just an

516
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,559
area of a lot of discussion was around

517
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,919
the uh uh overtime budget related to the

518
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:51,440
police department and fire department um

519
00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:53,640
I don't know if it's related but I do

520
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,799
see both uh Chief Clifford and chief up

521
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,919
here and in tonight I don't know if

522
00:23:55,799 --> 00:24:00,960
either are available but I would love to

523
00:23:57,919 --> 00:24:03,240
hear from their respect if there's been

524
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,640
any uh alteration in their responses to

525
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,039
Public Safety which was uh a comment or

526
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,480
series of comments I heard frequently

527
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,640
from the community I know as you

528
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,120
mentioned this is just the first quarter

529
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,720
but there's a question that I will be

530
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:17,320
asking throughout the year just has

531
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:21,960
there been any uh administ or altered

532
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:24,559
responses due to the uh or due to the

533
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,080
way we budgeted over time sure I'm not

534
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:29,320
sure if the Chiefs are ready to present

535
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,000

536
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,840

throughout my conversations I've heard

548
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,200
and also it was a comment that was

549
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,000
consistently repeated that any uh

550
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,240
adjustments that were made to the

551
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,240
recommended budgeted lines for overtime

552
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,240
would have a negative effect to your

553
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,520
ability to respond to events throughout

554
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,480
the

555
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:26,679
community so my question is have you had

556
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,559
to alter your response due to the um due

557
00:25:26,679 --> 00:25:30,960
to what money was allocated to over no

558
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:35,159
not at this

559
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:38,159
point uh we have minimum Staffing of 20

560
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:41,120
uh we put 20 on the street every day we

561
00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:44,840
answer every call that comes in uh like

562
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:47,440
normal and the money is there now to pay

563
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,080
for all the overturn what happens in the

564
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,600
third and fourth quarter is yet to be

565
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,679
seen that's why I was so passionate and

566
00:25:51,600 --> 00:26:00,000
adamant for that figure that we

567
00:25:54,679 --> 00:26:03,279
presented um as of the first quarter

568
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,039
the amounts that we were looking at we

569
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,039
were right on target for that amount

570
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:11,039
that we

571
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:13,200
requested uh now if we remain at that

572
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:14,679
we'll see we're definitely not going the

573
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,679
other

574
00:26:14,679 --> 00:26:17,679
way

575
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,840
Chief simar response um I think it's

576
00:26:25,399 --> 00:26:28,840
fair to say that the first quarter for

577
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,399
the police department is always be least

578
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,039
expensive for us seems like uh weather

579
00:26:31,399 --> 00:26:37,240
is usually Cooperative from the first of

580
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:40,960
the year until uh you know April May and

581
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:43,840
uh we we do a lot less proactively more

582
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,399
responsive so we really didn't you know

583
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,880
we we we really didn't do much different

584
00:26:46,399 --> 00:26:51,000
than we normally do um but we do expect

585
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,360
that with the summer months upon us uh

586
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,399
we have more that will be busier we'll

587
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:57,080
be putting more assets out there as the

588
00:26:55,399 --> 00:27:00,200
certain holidays come around like 4th of

589
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,240
July so so we will expect it to be

590
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,600
probably a higher percentage than first

591
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,320
quarter for our overtime spending thank

592
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:10,679
you

593
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:13,240
aome any other

594
00:27:10,679 --> 00:27:15,000
questions okay um thank you very much

595
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,600
and U we'll see you for the second

596
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,679
quarter absolutely I'm sorry no I just

597
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,760
moov your glasses around yeah oh mayor

598
00:27:20,679 --> 00:27:24,240
the

599
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:27,320
uh

600
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,919
just be uh trying to be polite my word

601
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:33,200
choice uh last year's budget process was

602
00:27:30,919 --> 00:27:35,600
somewhat of a debacle said trying to

603
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,279
avoid that this type of information has

604
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:41,080
always been provided to the council we

605
00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:42,679
had generally made public comments at

606
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,559
the adoption of the budget that we would

607
00:27:42,679 --> 00:27:48,720
go back and look to change the code in

608
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:50,760
the charter where today it reads that

609
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,600
the mayor submits it by October 1st the

610
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,760
council adopts it by November first uh

611
00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:01,000
there were some opinions granted that

612
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:02,159
there were no impact or effect of not

613
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,600
adopting a

614
00:28:02,159 --> 00:28:07,960
budget uh I've made some staff

615
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:10,799
adjustments to uh reflect that prior

616
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,519
opinion but thought the council was on

617
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:16,480
the mindset to put something on the

618
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:19,519
ballot to clear that up so that if a

619
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:23,200
budget is not adopted by November 1st

620
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:25,600
you adopt either uh the mayor's proposed

621
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,159
budget last year's budget some

622
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,799
contingency budget but to take the ambig

623
00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:34,559
do it out of the whole process and that

624
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:37,159
uh I've waited for that the action of

625
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:40,519
the council we are coming up to a point

626
00:28:37,159 --> 00:28:42,279
where the timelines to put forward

627
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:45,440
resolutions that would go on the ballot

628
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:47,360
for this November uh there's still time

629
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,080
where we can do that but I would assume

630
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,640
the council is going to act on that in

631
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,440
some fashion we can pick up the

632
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,519
discussion at the next committee meeting

633
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,120
thank

634
00:28:54,519 --> 00:29:00,039
you oh I'm sorry Mr yeah my my only resp

635
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,559
response to that would be I I would

636
00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:03,679
disagree in that I would categorize that

637
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,200
as a debacle I think it offered a lot of

638
00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:07,320
areas of improvement and a lot of

639
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,919
learning opportunities for the council I

640
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,799
would agree with that if we allowed it

641
00:29:08,919 --> 00:29:14,240
collectively to repeat again in our 2024

642
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:16,640
or 2025 conversations but I definitely

643
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,519
agree um Mr Mayor I think cleaning up

644
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,559
some of those um lesser cleared areas

645
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:23,880
specifically with regards to whether a

646
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:27,039
budget is adopted I I definitely can

647
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,960
agree that having more finer language to

648
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:31,600
alleviate our interpretations only helps

649
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,960
ensure that a budget is passed in timely

650
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,279
manner for the

651
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,960
city and um that's one of the reasons I

652
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,600
was hoping I was asking that we had do

653
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,960
this process so that we're once we get

654
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,679
to the um where we have to actually look

655
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,360
at the the overall budget we will have

656
00:29:42,679 --> 00:29:46,880
had discussions throughout and have a

657
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:50,440
better idea of where we were so we will

658
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:54,600
have the back and forth and

659
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:57,679
um long elongated prolonged um budget

660
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,559
process that we had last year so we can

661
00:29:57,679 --> 00:30:02,600
put that forward to have discussion at

662
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:06,080
the next committee meeting thank

663
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,760
you okay go ahead I like the col

664
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:11,440
government operations we have two items

665
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:13,840
on the agenda actually the audit and I

666
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,320
we put three items on the agenda right

667
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:21,000
so first I what we'll

668
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:26,480
do we to accept our

669
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:30,200
audit so second all those in favor

670
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:32,679
I all right next agenda item is going to

671
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,240
be ring Dr Kelly tolin of other clinical

672
00:30:32,679 --> 00:30:36,240
psychologist and is Chief

673
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,240
War good

674
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,519
evening um so working with the Police

675
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Department fire department has been in

676
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:51,720
the process of establishing our home

677
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,080
peer

678
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,200
support team as a matter of fact we're

679
00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:00,639
joining the police department um with

680
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:04,080
their te they're doing a fantastic job

681
00:31:00,639 --> 00:31:05,840
uh and we are modeling our team after

682
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,760
theirs and we'll be working closely with

683
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,760
them part of our par support team is

684
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:15,240
bringing on a clinical psychologist and

685
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:18,200
we are uh asking to approved a contract

686
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,519
with Dr Kelly toin who's the same

687
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:25,200
psychologist at the police work

688
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:29,240
with uh her contract calls for a

689
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:31,320
$1,400 uh retainer fee every month

690
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:35,120
uh we'll be modifying our original

691
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:40,039
proposal of a year contract to 6 months

692
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:44,240
and um there was some questions that the

693
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:48,480
uh uh council president had asked I have

694
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,960
answer to so the background of our the

695
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,720
reason why we want our prayer support

696
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:55,559
team is because of the increase in

697
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:59,120
mental health challenges that First

698
00:31:55,559 --> 00:32:01,519
Responders are are facing and in the

699
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:04,519
legislative request I listed some of

700
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:06,320
those they're actually pretty trouble uh

701
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:10,480
to the point where we just dealt with

702
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:12,279
two issues uh about 10 days ago of

703
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,600
people that really needed some

704
00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:18,679
intervention so due to the work our

705
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,519
people do and the stress that comes with

706
00:32:18,679 --> 00:32:23,799
that and the amount of time that our

707
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:28,080
people are working um we're seeing more

708
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:30,279
and more challenges so it is extremely

709
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,240
important that we have a team and with

710
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:34,600
the team we need the clinical

711
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:38,320
psychologist so that's why I'm here to

712
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,320
ask for the approval of the

713
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:47,240
contract Chief um the compensation of

714
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:50,399
section three page um section three um

715
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,159
$1,400 with retainer and that not to

716
00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:54,559
exceed

717
00:32:52,159 --> 00:32:58,080
$1,000 for additional service so that's

718
00:32:54,559 --> 00:33:03,159
like 4 hours is that enough

719
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:06,720
on top of the $1,400 so the $400 is uh

720
00:33:03,159 --> 00:33:09,600
her retainer and all the services she'll

721
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,320
provide you see that on exhibit a that

722
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:15,480
additional

723
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,679
$250 a u an hour that would be in the

724
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,919
event of

725
00:33:16,679 --> 00:33:21,360
some acute

726
00:33:18,919 --> 00:33:23,799
event and I don't want to get specific

727
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:28,360
but it something happened and she was

728
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:30,679
called in because of the sheer uh severe

729
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,559
that that would be what she would be

730
00:33:30,679 --> 00:33:35,960
charging for that event it wouldn't be

731
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:39,639
for oneon-one for oneon-one

732
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:43,639
uh sessions she' be charging she'd be

733
00:33:39,639 --> 00:33:46,799
invoicing the insurance so this would

734
00:33:43,639 --> 00:33:49,440
be in the event of something

735
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:52,360
happen

736
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,200
specific so I think what we're seeing um

737
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:57,039
in society right now is that there's a

738
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,039
renewal of the social contractor

739
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:01,679
institutions including school districts

740
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:03,600
um First Responders things like that

741
00:34:01,679 --> 00:34:06,720
nature and I think that this is

742
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,639
definitely in line um with

743
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,320
that that's probably a contract that

744
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:11,720
wasn't necessarily negotiated we just

745
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,800
had to respond to because there's a

746
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:15,639
different level of need here so I think

747
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,079
that that's a important step to take a

748
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:19,480
proactive step to take it's something

749
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:22,599
that we can probably um

750
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,399
unfortunately uh will likely we utilize

751
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:26,919
one way or another so I I I appreciate

752
00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:29,200
that F and full support of that any

753
00:34:26,919 --> 00:34:31,320
other questions or comments on that um

754
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,679
just a comment do we have the same PSA

755
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,879
for the police department do we have the

756
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:38,159
same PSA for the police department I'm

757
00:34:35,879 --> 00:34:40,800
not sure it's exactly but conceptually

758
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:43,960
it's the same it's um the police

759
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,839
department it's 2,000 overall and then

760
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,119
225 for

761
00:34:45,839 --> 00:34:50,240
incidents um I just want to make sure

762
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:53,159
that we have U up to date signed

763
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:55,240
contract um we don't do that but that's

764
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:57,200
that's the difference there he so it was

765
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:58,520
modeled as the chief said off of the

766
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,880
police dep

767
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,040

768
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,440
