[4:53] yeah yeah so this year we have no uh

[4:57] still we have no fing attack when sec

[5:00] ATT that is very good thing so we have

[5:02] to be proud about that we're educating

[5:05] the employees you know twice a year try

[5:08] to do it by by early you know so we do

[5:11] spring one in fall and by doing that we

[5:15] had doing for like 2 years now we can

[5:17] see some you know uh change in there we

[5:21] can be good so security awareness

[5:23] proficiency assessment if you see this

[5:25] score compared to the industry Benchmark

[5:28] they are at 6 4% here at 67% so at least

[5:32] that's better and uh before I was

[5:35] checking those fishing thing and the our

[5:38] score account average f porn was like 4%

[5:42] around now it is 2.7% so that

[5:46] is we want to be zero but at least you

[5:49] know this big change I see in there and

[5:53] uh I really want to thank you guys for

[5:56] providing me the capital funding last

[5:58] year for the sery on this stories we

[6:00] were able to complete that um by may I

[6:03] guess yes so that we did on time so

[6:07] because our server were going end up

[6:09] life cies were get going end up life so

[6:12] that that we

[6:13] accomplished uh employee wise I have one

[6:16] new employee we hired couple months back

[6:20] and I'm trying to fill one more position

[6:23] so like we have a lot in our plate to do

[6:27] things around and uh from the Smart City side we have

[6:32] 360 access points around the city and uh

[6:36] many cameras and in expansion John is

[6:40] playing still playing very good role in

[6:42] there so he's helping us even become

[6:46] after through it but that's a big

[6:56] help I'm going to try to be proactive so

[6:59] you have to like always be you know

[7:03] alert on what is going on

[7:08] network in terms of software and

[7:11] Hardware how are you with that

[7:13] especially Hardware replacing all the

[7:15] old equipments yeah so uh this Windows

[7:19] uh U Windows 11 what happens is that

[7:22] have the GPM is called in the bias and

[7:25] old machine does not accept Windows 11

[7:28] because of that so there is you know I

[7:31] found some work around you can still do

[7:34] that but if Microsoft you know knows one

[7:37] day and then send up dates then then we

[7:39] all G so we don't know in that situation

[7:43] so uh I give list to D back how many

[7:47] machines we have so we have still until

[7:50] October 2025 to upgrade those machines

[7:52] to 2011 so we're going phase wise I

[7:56] think right byy couple this year if you

[7:58] have Bud then in

[8:00] 2025 but even if you let's say if you

[8:03] are not

[8:04] 100% then in 2026 early 2026 we can do

[8:09] pretty much all so all machine will be

[8:11] up

[8:13] toate and Hardware are pretty pretty

[8:16] good we're keeping like not the Legacy

[8:18] software there's not much you know maybe

[8:21] one or two in clerk Department which is

[8:23] still um you know

[8:26] not and flex you s I'm not sure who

[8:31] support that like that we that's all the

[8:36] old you have a cost did you do a cost

[8:39] analysis on all the equipment to replace

[8:42] uh yes I think I get the

[8:54] numbers yeah the numbers I think it was

[8:57] like 60 computers we had to replace

[8:59] desktops and the cost is like pretty

[9:02] much like 7800

[9:05] each

[9:06] but yeah but depending on you know like

[9:09] you don't have to do all at a time you

[9:11] know like the machine is still good you

[9:13] can next year you can f out those

[9:16] machines but for security reason would

[9:18] you recommend us doing it yeah SEC we do

[9:21] it until 2025 October so we have here

[9:27] it's $60,000

[9:30] to put us out of

[9:34] risk yeah that's why I'm trying to get

[9:37] you don't want to put yourself out at

[9:39] risk because something coming out there

[9:42] and one or two equipment they can buy

[9:45] pass it into into your ccle yeah yeah

[9:48] definitely thank you so that's something

[9:50] we might want to consider when we start

[9:54] our you John you're were saying that the

[9:56] difference is somewhere around $60,000

[9:58] and you're saying that this yeah High

[10:00] number there about 6,000 can be less

[10:02] you're saying this is like this a

[10:04] priority yeah you should consider that

[10:07] we restarting the process the process is

[10:09] already in the works

[10:10] right but we should fund whatever

[10:13] remaining and just complet it and that

[10:15] wasn't part of last

[10:17] year's no I don't think so some some of yes some well I'm saying we've

[10:23] been kind of chipping away at it and uh

[10:27] and and also too you got to remember the

[10:28] capacity these guys have to so even you

[10:31] buy all tomorrow we can't put in the

[10:35] next

[10:36] day it will take a couple months to get

[10:39] you know get out L more running so

[10:41] that's something we should have the come

[10:42] to I mean I wonder though are some of

[10:44] the computers out of the um 60 um are

[10:49] some of the computers that not needing

[10:51] to be replaced I mean so this 60

[10:54] computer needs to be reped oh okay 60 is

[10:57] the number okay okay thank you they're

[10:59] not

[11:02] compatible

[11:05] software the most advanced level of the

[11:08] software and for the cyber security you

[11:11] know Hardware is part of it but it's

[11:14] continual

[11:16] education of employees just to be cent

[11:20] of the

[11:22] emails yeah phone calls text messages

[11:26] other things that com in you're

[11:28] designing to compromise Z Anthony can

[11:30] you share the cost to us please excuse

[11:34] me the cost for the for the

[11:37] 60

[11:39] 60700 weig 800 I think was

[11:43] like some cabling another things go with

[11:46] it yeah you're going to have we figured

[11:48] 50,000 right or

[11:52] 60,000 fig th000 a piece I was trying to

[11:56] get away with it at 800 but he

[12:02] the you just

[12:07] table I'm really thankful for you guys

[12:09] for the great leadership you know mayor

[12:11] and Council for supporting all these

[12:13] Technologies you know you know because

[12:16] uh you know this is the ransom where I

[12:19] have just this from sofos if you read it

[12:22] you know like the The Ransom price

[12:24] increased 500 times yeah so so in 2023

[12:28] it was like 1 million they will ask you

[12:31] now they're asking 5

[12:33] million and average cost of if you get

[12:36] rans somewhere to get all these lawyers

[12:38] different things to fix everything you

[12:40] know like public uh reputation things

[12:43] like that is 2.7 million AR spending who

[12:47] got it so we have to keep that in mind

[12:50] all the

[12:52] time if the council has any other

[12:54] detailed questions on

[12:56] that won't have that addressed in public

[13:00] session so that just some of the

[13:02] protocols we use and some of the things

[13:03] that are in place have to be done in

[13:06] executive

[13:09] session so that's something we should

[13:11] consider because we need to protect

[13:13] ourselves cyber security is not e thing

[13:17] I know Mia and you have been working

[13:19] really hard on protecting the

[13:22] city so we want we at a council want to

[13:24] provide Power of support yeah sure

[13:27] appreciate that you should be waiting

[13:29] any other question go

[13:32] ahead which one I'll just say on a

[13:35] personal note I find the trainings very valuable so um and I have learned a

[13:40] lot and it definitely has helped me um

[13:43] be more aware of um cyber security at

[13:47] home and and with the work that I do so

[13:49] I appreciate that yeah most of the time

[13:52] 70% of time it is a human error in this

[13:55] all these cases so we have to the one

[13:59] who is you know all these things we have

[14:03] to

[14:05] educate I have a question regarding a

[14:08] 16548 the phone expense um it's it's

[14:12] increased so what happens is uh we pay

[14:15] like uh u 2 years at a time okay because

[14:19] uh to get some discount bigger discount

[14:22] we pay annually like left so you could

[14:25] see uh 2023 that was 2024

[14:30] 2025 okay thank

[14:33] you any other question for this section

[14:36] well this is it's about the smart city

[14:38] but I guess it's really a funding uh

[14:40] because so how much is left in in where

[14:43] we have with the smart

[14:44] cities which one smart C smart C I'm

[14:47] going I'm going to turn I just want to

[14:49] complete this and I will turn to this U

[14:51] page page 39 okay he said was on page 39 yes any other question on this

[14:56] section well my my question was about

[14:58] the um fees for services line but it it

[15:01] was answered here by um either ban or or

[15:06] Derek and Anthony but um I was wondering

[15:08] about the um what was included in that

[15:11] line it's

[15:12] 16844 but I see it was the fees for

[15:16] various um software packages so I just

[15:18] wanted to let everybody know that other

[15:21] than software packaging there anything

[15:23] else service line so F service line um

[15:28] yeah I think I want to add I think a GIS

[15:33] software what we're doing is different

[15:36] department with chicking and they'll do

[15:39] uh you know give us like the cost is

[15:41] like 23 grand every year almost so

[15:44] engineering Police Department

[15:46] development they will ship in some money

[15:48] and do it this year also police

[15:50] department they have give us big chunk

[15:52] on their ground and development like big

[15:55] CH so that's true we we're true but I

[15:57] think next year I ask the chief did you

[15:59] put any money and I was confused like

[16:01] who is putting money on that right in

[16:03] budget and uh seems like Police

[16:06] Department put it like 8 Grand something

[16:10] rest 16 Grand I I think I want include

[16:13] somewhere some if other

[16:16] department 16k we should check and make

[16:19] sure it's in the police department is

[16:20] what you're saying the police department

[16:22] 8 Grand oh put 8 Grand yeah but if

[16:26] nobody put in the rest of it then I want

[16:27] to put in my

[16:31] somewhere okay any other question seeing

[16:34] on we'll move to page 39 and that's

[16:37] under Street lighting and a 5182 402

[16:42] administrative expense there was a

[16:44] question there and we need a a breakdown

[16:47] on the

[16:52] 71 so I'll go from

[17:00] so uh this 20 57 Grand uh which you see

[17:04] in there that is for the smart uh smart

[17:07] net

[17:08] renewal this we didn't pay until last

[17:11] year what happened was when we bought a

[17:13] product the industrial product it comes

[17:15] with 5 year of warranty and 5 year of

[17:18] licenses in there so we are good until

[17:21] last year this year we had to renew and

[17:24] this year we found money uh from some

[17:28] other uh accounts and for this year we

[17:30] are good but uh I think we have to get

[17:34] uh if this in next year we have to uh

[17:37] get this money how much is that 57 Grand

[17:40] oh 57 yeah so that is part of the

[17:43] 710 uh

[17:46] 51824 yes yeah that's part of that so

[17:49] I'm just going line by line here so to

[17:52] clarify these things and uh uh the smart

[17:57] uh the other one is 35 Grand that is

[18:00] also the license fee so other one of the

[18:02] smart net was like if something breaks

[18:04] they can fix it and replacement warranty

[18:07] kind of thing but 35 Grand is a license

[18:10] cost and U so I did like a lot of

[18:15] negotiation with the companies and uh we

[18:18] actually switch our licensing from alart

[18:21] licensing to the Enterprise agreement

[18:24] and they gave us quite a lot of discount

[18:25] from that so um it was like 2 three

[18:29] months of process for me to negotiate

[18:31] with the vendors to give us good

[18:36] pricing and other one is also 5600 is

[18:40] also licensing 5600

[18:44] yes uh yeah it's

[18:48] here uh so I'm I'm just uh recking it

[18:52] part so go ahead please okay and uh this

[18:56] 120 we had last year which is still 120

[18:59] for the genetic U 120

[19:04] 12000 new number which you see here is

[19:08] uh 460,000 this is uh this you didn't

[19:12] have to

[19:13] do uh before this is the first year

[19:15] coming up because we have this with last

[19:19] we have this R demo project going on

[19:22] which is expired now so we have to

[19:25] maintain all this did for the Smart City

[19:29] that's why this uh cost is 460 in

[19:34] here so it's a

[19:37] main their licensing and data and all

[19:41] those fees over Korea did you say that

[19:44] was a nice I think is that what you

[19:46] said oh National Grid okay

[19:55] sorry okay and uh two more things here

[19:59] uh so um one is that our video server is

[20:02] going to end up live next year around

[20:05] February so I want to get the replace

[20:08] that server with the new hardware and

[20:10] new uh storage in there so that is

[20:13] costing us with the license is like 32

[20:17] uh

[20:21] 45 I think adding those Mak it same time

[20:29] [Music]

[20:35] yeah you missing you know what we should

[20:37] do we should uh copy that list yeah I

[20:41] was ask you that share that section

[20:44] alone yeah so that we

[20:48] have go ahead please so um this is all

[20:51] shown up it's administrative expense

[20:52] when it sounds really like a lot of its

[20:54] equipment and contracts is there a

[20:56] reason that it's shown like that as

[20:58] opposed to because administrative people

[21:01] think that you immediately go to

[21:03] somebody's getting paid individual is

[21:05] getting paid as opposed to a company or buying supplies so I was just

[21:09] wondering if there's a reason that's

[21:10] shown like that as opposed to showing it

[21:16] as just the way it I think we just kep

[21:20] the

[21:21] same just the problems this year

[21:25] grown cion

[21:28] yeah would it be wise to move that under

[21:30] it department since it's it related

[21:33] stuff just it Department yeah but it's it's under street stre it's out in

[21:39] the field so it's should be in there

[21:43] most of stuff happens how feel

[21:47] right unless you you want to do a 4 402a

[21:51] say equipment or license

[21:53] software

[21:55] equipment and administr so you can

[21:58] description change so he doesn't you

[22:01] look at it administrative expense it's

[22:03] not really administrative

[22:05] expense yeah it would be helpful if you

[22:08] can do that

[22:10] easy

[22:13] yeah any question for go ahead please so

[22:17] it's about the smart so is this coming

[22:18] out of smart City no this

[22:21] is all right so do

[22:25] we what is our balance there and I guess

[22:27] I I guess trying to figure out how what

[22:30] part of lighting you were getting out of

[22:31] smart cities thought that was part of

[22:35] it actually paying for the things smart

[22:37] city is actually still paying for

[22:40] instulation of fiber and other stuff

[22:43] that was finishing throughout the city

[22:45] that's what the Smart City when C

[22:48] balance that's what we're doing with

[22:49] that this is actually like the light

[22:53] power and gas with the lights that's

[22:54] actually the uh Power

[23:02] whatever the question was what is the

[23:04] balance

[23:07] SM oh he's he does have he just put it

[23:09] down to answer the question

[23:12] okay yeah pleas this this is separate

[23:15] this is yeah

[23:17] so it would it would be helpful let's

[23:19] add a line and put that away from

[23:21] administrative anything in

[23:22] administrative line leave it in there

[23:24] and just move it out okay change the

[23:26] title all right yeah thank any other

[23:29] question for

[23:31] about anything else you're missing you

[23:34] want to highlight to us that is

[23:43] supposed to

[23:44] be yeah so I was going to if you have

[23:47] question or anything I I was going to

[25:44] we've set up the school bus ticket

[25:46] program it has issued

[25:49] $4,850 tickets at

[25:51] $250 so far this year potential

[25:55] estimated revenue on such would be about

[25:57] 400

[25:59] ,000 we have um we have a first court

[26:02] date for that scheduled on Friday for

[26:04] people who are contesting their

[26:06] tiets uh We've set up a process to

[26:08] enforce the public nuisance Ordinance

[26:11] one has successfully been prosecuted

[26:13] three more are in the works we've done

[26:15] all of this while still Prosecuting code

[26:18] violations drafting legislation

[26:20] defending the city in litigation and

[26:22] providing legal advice with the council

[26:24] the mayor and the partner

[26:26] heads so in terms of our budget um we

[26:31] have switched it up a little bit in

[26:33] terms of attorney Staffing for next year

[26:36] so there is a line for myself for the

[26:39] Corporation Council there is a line for

[26:42] a full-time assistant Corporation

[26:46] Council then we have replaced the

[26:51] deputy with and the full-time assistant

[26:55] with four part-time assistant

[26:58] corporation councils which are listed

[27:01] under the

[27:02] perum object

[27:06] 121 we have we also have budgeted 55,000

[27:10] for uh law clerks and other

[27:14] assistants also cover if any of the

[27:16] assistant assistant Corporation councils

[27:19] go above the number of hours that we

[27:21] originally expected and then going back

[27:24] up um our records access officer

[27:28] um code enforcement specialist

[27:30] confidential secretary ips3 uh those

[27:33] positions are been standing in the

[27:36] department um there has been I believe a

[27:39] 3% raise applied to my salary and to

[27:43] confidential secretary for both

[27:46] management employees the others are um

[27:50] our Union and we'll find out what

[27:51] they're paid exactly once their contract

[27:54] is finalized

[27:58] um in terms of other

[28:01] expenses um we budgeted 25,000 for

[28:04] postage 2200 for administrative

[28:07] expenses 15,000 for advertising 15,000

[28:11] for fees for services uh travel and

[28:14] conferences that's uh that's

[28:18] for label proba to be switched up a

[28:20] little bit um that is for professional

[28:24] development conferences as well as um

[28:27] the bar registrations of myself and

[28:30] other full-time assistant preparation

[28:34] Council

[28:37] um um outside legal services so we hire

[28:41] outside Council

[28:43] 85,000 uh litigation support

[28:47] 35,000 supplies 4500 maintenance

[28:50] agreements

[28:51] 5,000 title searches 70,000 we do that

[28:54] as part of the foreclosure process the

[28:56] title searches

[29:01] so any questions yeah

[29:03] so why are you opting for part time

[29:06] rather than

[29:07] fulltime um system we have found that

[29:10] hiring um part-time we're able to get

[29:13] much more experienced people so we're

[29:14] getting better bang for our

[29:18] bu thank you go ahead please so so I see

[29:24] that

[29:26] like there's like 88 they're getting

[29:28] like 65,000 for the part for the

[29:31] part-time um corporate all well two of

[29:35] them are getting 65 one's getting 48 so

[29:38] this is like increasing the cost overall

[29:39] because the deputy Corporation

[29:43] Council if you even take if you divide

[29:45] the salary in half you're still pay more

[29:47] by two

[29:48] assistance the salary that you're taking

[29:50] out in addition to the other

[29:55] two um I'm sorry so you're saying you my

[29:59] understanding is you said that you took

[30:00] out the deputy right at

[30:03] 106 yeah and then uh added four parttime

[30:06] four part time to cover that plus

[30:09] another assistant plus a full-time

[30:11] assistant fulltime assistant 82 and

[30:15] 106

[30:18] 28 180 188 we decrease the per DM so if

[30:24] you look at 2024 there was 95,000

[30:28] this year

[30:29] budgeted or yeah so it's kind

[30:33] of you've taken that out we've taken

[30:35] that down to

[30:37] 55,000 so assistant so part-time people

[30:40] are always perum is my understanding so

[30:44] that's why they're listed um below perum

[30:47] salary but if you look at last year they

[30:50] had 95,000 in perum we in in general

[30:54] prium so we have 55,000 basically start

[30:58] some other and these other

[31:00] numbers would have normally been up

[31:04] here but it does

[31:06] it it winds up being relatively neutral

[31:10] okay I mean if we look at the bottom

[31:12] line um actually your overall total for

[31:16] your department is down um like like

[31:21] close to

[31:23] 20 I was asked to make Cuts so why made

[31:27] them

[31:28] I want to say too even though they're

[31:31] saying they don't get a salary of 65,000

[31:33] part time to get paid by whatever they

[31:36] work that's the max they can so that's

[31:38] up to

[31:39] 65,000 cut

[31:42] M can you cut them

[31:44] off sometimes some guys 12 hours 15s

[31:47] sometimes 20 you know so

[31:51] um yeah I mean

[31:53] we they're going on average now because

[31:56] they are getting the ones that work by

[31:58] the

[31:59] hour uh they're getting paid less when

[32:02] they work less than the number of hours

[32:04] and more they so I'm going have to keep

[32:06] an eye on the Total Lines

[32:10] yeah have go ahead I think it's I mean

[32:13] it seems like an interesting strategy

[32:15] because you probably can bring in

[32:17] different levels of expertise I mean

[32:19] different um what am I trying to say

[32:21] like different categories of expertise I

[32:24] don't know the legal uh term but you

[32:26] know so you might have

[32:28] real estate you might have you know I I

[32:30] don't know your work specifically but um

[32:33] I looked at that and thought well that's

[32:35] kind of cool that you can kind of um

[32:38] handpick like different areas of

[32:40] expertise um plus of course no benefits

[32:44] so uh they don't get any benefits right

[32:46] three of them do not get benefits one of

[32:48] them does oh out of the part times yeah

[32:50] but uh they don't the only benefits he

[32:54] gets

[32:55] is retirement

[32:58] one of the part time does get benefits

[33:01] but three

[33:04] don't don't call don't they don't get

[33:07] like medical stuff like that think he's

[33:09] just in the retirement system that's all

[33:12] which is required Social Security also

[33:16] yeah any other

[33:18] question go ahead please so just in

[33:21] terms of hierarchy so the Corporation

[33:23] Council is first with the next not be

[33:26] Deputy or is it associate Corporation

[33:29] Council um so the Corporation Council

[33:32] will be at the top of the hierarchy and

[33:34] then there are five assistant

[33:37] Corporation councils if there was a

[33:40] deputy would be the deputy fall next or

[33:43] the depy would fall next yeah than

[33:49] you any other

[33:52] questions anything else you want I do

[33:55] kind have a question this this just made

[33:57] it C

[33:58] so um so you're the fulltime offic

[34:00] Corporation Council then we have the

[34:01] assistant Corporation councel absent a

[34:03] deputy Corporation councel and let's say

[34:06] you're on vacation or your what at long

[34:09] term so then who becomes that person

[34:14] that is like kind of the law department

[34:16] overall the skill set

[34:19] for Gus Divine

[34:26] Mission it could be part

[34:29] time we work as a team part time here

[34:31] and then Part Time Corporation

[34:34] Council we work as a team so it could be

[34:38] it depends on what the question is the

[34:41] question is is who is like overall what

[34:44] the question is coming up where you have

[34:45] to answer it so whose expertise would

[34:48] you call it oh okay so you're not what

[34:51] is my question question

[34:54] okay thank you ma'am

[34:58] are we missing anything no I mean you're

[35:01] more than welcome to add if you

[35:04] like

[35:07] yourself thank you so much thank you and

[35:09] your team for all you doing for the city

[35:11] thank you all right so you can have to

[35:14] see there like um we'll go back to page

[35:19] three no page two

[35:22] sorry right yeah page

[35:24] two Finance Administration

[35:30] and we'll work our way down and close

[35:33] Finance

[35:36] Administration um the finance

[35:39] Administration increased by

[35:41] 3.44% from 397,000 to

[35:45] 58,000 as you can see the increase is

[35:47] due to the finance salary

[35:50] increasing uh toct industry average

[35:54] local p district uh the next um increase

[35:59] is due to a retirement that will come in

[36:02] 2025

[36:06] noing that up well since you since you

[36:09] mentioned that um I noticed people asked

[36:13] the councel for you know pay rais I

[36:15] would consider not

[36:17] reing 15% that's that's a serious

[36:22] consideration Mak of

[36:24] that okay and think about that sorry I'm just want to talk about the

[36:31] reasons why the increase for both uh if uh if I if I were to leave and and we

[36:38] need the opportunity to fill the

[36:40] position deputy and and the

[36:44] uh commissioner uh you we qualified

[36:47] people and and the way to do it is is is

[36:50] by salary to get qualified people if you

[36:53] seen you read it in the paper like the

[36:55] to of this commun uh there control which is a town of to 15,000 people

[37:01] their controllers 142,000 a year uh the

[37:06] town of uh the town of reram is 150,000

[37:09] for their controller and uh city of Troy

[37:12] which is also small house is 150,000 so

[37:15] what I'm saying is these numbers we

[37:17] trying to reflect is is toh to get the

[37:20] uh you can need proper and educated and

[37:23] experienced people uh in this position

[37:26] uh and it's

[37:28] and that that is why we requested these

[37:31] raises and

[37:34] salaries

[37:42] um Finance Administration that be

[37:49] complete oh go ahead please on finance

[37:52] ad so it's kind of a two-part question

[37:54] it's in this and the next but there was

[37:57] a reduction in the traveling conferences

[38:00] in this section in the problem section

[38:01] so I don't know if that's

[38:04] or we decided usually set two for each

[38:09] department this year we set one for

[38:12] each cut

[38:15] cutu we're looking to cut the budget

[38:18] where we

[38:21] can thank

[38:24] you if those travel confer training is

[38:28] necessary why cut it we S one set two

[38:32] comes back what we usually do we have

[38:34] two people going come back have them

[38:37] speak to our departments this time we're

[38:39] just going to have one you know yeah but

[38:41] you don't have a budget for

[38:44] the oh yeah oh for on 1310 the reason is

[38:48] because uh two free LIC two

[39:15] 4.10% 30,000

[39:19] 5,914 um the increase see is uh willing

[39:22] to promote our Junior accountant to

[42:41] difference all right rest of this uh

[42:45] 1989 contingency funds uh those are

[42:47] mostly used for emergency demolitions um

[49:55] yours toal employ benefits increased 8%

[49:59] from 36.5 36.6 million to 39.6 million

[50:04] most of that could be attributed to uh

[50:09] U employee benefits for retirement um uh

[50:13] as you can see our police uh and Fire

[50:16] Work time benefits from 9.7 to 12

[50:19] million this is Def again as I spoke to

[50:22] you the other first day this directly

[50:26] and this is about funding the police and

[50:29] fire and the new 384e for Poli

[50:34] Department um the other big U increase

[50:38] was uh from

[50:42] uh Hospital medical insurance

[50:46] um the biggest biggest increase went

[50:49] from medical from 144 to

[50:52] 151 and the the Medicare reimbursement

[50:55] from a million to a million to 200,000

[50:57] increase uh this is just the cost of uh

[51:00] you know what's happening in in the

[51:02] medical business and Medicare we were

[51:05] very conservative on this we actually

[51:08] you

[51:10] have person who specializes and it's to

[51:13] look at it for us uh and we're we're

[51:17] very like on the slim side of the margin

[51:19] you know so if everything works out

[51:22] we're not going to have a problem you

[51:23] know if it doesn't you know we don't we

[51:25] don't know all depends you know because

[51:27] we're a self insurance so it really all

[51:28] depends on one person because you know

[51:31] we're really a small outfit if one

[51:32] person gets very very sick uh you know

[51:35] it can cost us you know a million dollars or so one of the biggest

[51:39] things that we're working out with our

[51:41] proac drug company is about specialized

[51:44] U special specialized specialty drugs

[51:48] which which has really in this last year

[51:52] increased over

[51:54] $700,000 cost you know

[51:57] that's you know

[51:59] hee TV what go the stuff fores believe

[52:05] it or not is like you $30,000 a shot you

[52:08] know

[52:09] so that so that's that's the big thing

[52:12] that we're watching we're working with

[52:14] the not only with our COA company

[52:17] they're working with the drug companies

[52:19] for uh certificates

[52:22] at yeah for rebates so that you know

[52:25] that's where we're open uh

[52:27] keep in this line at a tri Library we

[52:30] were very lucky with our Medicare

[52:32] Advantage plan last year we uh we got

[52:35] into the plan with MP what we made to

[52:38] guarantee us uh a certain rate for the

[52:41] second year which which which they did

[52:44] and as you can see it's costum sust it

[52:47] did in

[52:48] 2023 when we had a different group um

[52:51] but we only had a 6% increase but I

[52:54] heard other agencies even close by had

[52:56] close to 50% increase on

[52:59] their on the reimbursement plan so we

[53:01] were very lucky that we know already

[53:03] that next year we're going have to start

[53:06] looking for another plan and see we can

[53:08] get another R again you know jez is

[53:10] there one reason why we moved from y to

[53:13] us care us is

[53:16] MVP we're at yeah was pulling out of the

[53:20] market

[53:27] we went to MVP's us T so our our

[53:31] retirees who live throughout the country

[53:33] are covered okay got you and that's off

[53:37] to uh me see what else have there next

[53:40] page oh I'm sorry there any question on

[53:45] this so let me just pull my questions

[53:48] think I question I think I think M are

[53:50] answer yeah you can ask

[53:56] yeah I all right let's move to

[54:00] page well I just want to I do want to

[54:02] say that I think those discount programs

[54:05] that might be an interesting like either

[54:07] e newsletter or training um not training

[54:10] but um something to get out to the

[54:12] employees because I think there's so

[54:14] many of them that's that's done behind

[54:15] the scenes our we work with our drug

[54:17] company that actually does that oh they

[54:19] do do that they do that for us

[54:21] okay more and more that's that's what's

[54:24] keep helping us keep keep that line

[54:26] going

[54:27] but even with that the the cost doesn't

[54:29] reflect the real true cost of the actual

[54:31] medicine it's absolutely ridiculous oh

[54:33] yeah it's

[54:34] crazy country the world it's absolutely

[54:37] disgusting we we actually in in our part

[54:40] of our plan we have what's called canx

[54:42] yeah which we get drugs that

[54:44] unbelievably you know almost uh 30%

[54:47] cheaper than the American said but

[54:49] there's only they can only do a certain

[54:52] um what's the word you call a certain

[54:55] amount of drugs it can't be uh generic

[54:58] so it's a very very small list very

[55:01] small list and it saves US money but you

[55:05] know uh it's just too small that it's

[55:07] not to do drugs a lot of our employees

[55:09] use you know we do we do have some Habit

[55:11] to do two we save money on

[55:15] it um I think the next big uh our next

[55:18] big

[55:20] U next

[55:21] big is debt Debt Service page 54

[55:28] that would be the end our Deb service

[55:30] you know went from 7.6 million to 93

[55:34] million U that was because of you know

[55:37] uh

[55:38] we banded more money last year now we

[55:41] have two years Advance our if you see

[55:44] our debt service for bonds and uh uh

[55:47] other stuff that really actually gone

[55:50] down for our serial bonds a big increase

[55:52] was because we banded another year so

[55:55] the cost of you know paying the interest

[55:57] of those BS and principal you know is

[56:00] went up

[56:01] 900,000 and also if you see the

[56:06] installment purchases we purchased the

[56:07] new fire truck so right now we have two

[56:10] that we're paying off and so that's mil4

[56:15] is that's is the increase

[56:21] of and talking about Debt Service you

[56:23] know our debt what we try to do is uh is

[56:27] we're waiting to uh to see what the

[56:29] interest rates go down we know it went

[56:32] by went down half% what we do we work

[56:34] with our fiscal advisers and we see what

[56:37] the other municipalities are getting the

[56:39] rates are that's when we decide uh if

[56:41] we're going to B the bond we try

[56:43] internally our our plan internally is

[56:46] keep everything below

[56:47] 4% so really you know as you remember

[56:50] the past few years we refinance all our

[56:52] old Lins you know to below 4% so that

[56:56] that's actually helping us in the long

[56:58] run U right now our bands are right at

[57:01] that limit they're like at 4

[57:03] 3.96 so that's why we're continue to

[57:05] band if we see that the uh the interest

[57:08] rates are go down then we we will bind

[57:10] those bands you

[57:12] know yeah it's always so you you got to

[57:16] play the game to you know try to save

[57:18] money absolutely yeah wait until the

[57:21] interest rate um it's going to drop at

[57:24] some point in time we we think it's

[57:26] going to happen after the

[57:29] election's going to be there I think

[57:31] makes makes a

[57:42] difference just wants to hear from I'm

[57:44] not

[57:48] pass talking about lead lead pipes in

[57:52] the city thing I just read an article uh

[57:55] I think it was last about uh President

[57:57] Biden is actually putting out a plan yes

[58:00] to to to you know fun that stuff so so

[58:04] that's good news for us we're we're

[58:06] about to do a survey we're going to have

[58:08] funding to do the survey is coming up

[58:11] Monday Tuesday when do the election so

[58:13] we're hoping that if we can do that be

[58:16] great for all of us it's a great help

[58:17] and that was that's a question

[58:18] everybody's asking who's going to pay

[58:20] for this and that's why we need the

[58:22] message all to the the community to let

[58:24] them know that there is federal fund

[58:30] available it's not available yet but

[58:32] it's available but we just

[58:36] have now you said it is available no

[58:38] it's not it's going to be

[58:42] available is pushing it we're looking at

[58:44] Grand people to say yes they got to vot

[58:47] it

[58:47] [Music]

[58:49] through any other question on this

[58:52] section all right are we missing

[58:54] anything there

[58:56] think uh

[58:58] commission we

[59:01] everything yeah we did did Jud

[59:04] that's so the major thing in this whole

[59:07] budget as I mentioned the first day was

[59:09] you know benefits uh

[59:14] debt salaries

[59:16] and and

[59:19] retirement big

[59:23] factors that's that's that's you got to

[59:26] pay your employees you got to you know

[59:28] you got to pay the benefits and that's

[59:30] what the costs are and you know like if

[59:34] you're a business you know you raise

[59:35] your prices and government we try to

[59:38] find the other revenues which which

[59:40] we're doing with uh sales taxs with the

[59:44] um cannabis with the bus stop with the

[59:48] sell houses with you know do all this

[59:51] but our other course you know you have

[59:53] to raise fees and taxes and I'm sorry to

[59:55] say that I don't want to do because I I

[59:57] got to pay too you know but but that's just the thing of business you

[1:00:02] know I mean you so living for your in

[1:00:05] your house and you have to you have to

[1:00:07] raise the fees and

[1:00:10] taxes go ahead please just on a side

[1:00:14] note I wasn't the one meeting with the

[1:00:16] clerk's office and the dog licensing

[1:00:20] fees that I think is fairly

[1:00:22] straightforward to but I don't know see

[1:00:23] if you covered it the

[1:00:27] platform it's evolving would allow for

[1:00:31] the registration of cats other

[1:00:34] animals uh we're not looking to

[1:00:37] licensing because that'll fill City Hall

[1:00:39] people but people could put it into the

[1:00:42] system put a picture there so that if

[1:00:45] the fire department was going to the

[1:00:47] house they'd know there's a cat there

[1:00:49] that's great if the animal got lost or

[1:00:52] something or other pets or other pets

[1:00:54] too uh

[1:00:57] but would look so it's not for free

[1:01:00] there is a cost you type and maintain it

[1:01:03] a little bit so it's you know 10 bucks

[1:01:05] 20 bucks and I don't know if that's been

[1:01:09] included that's I want to say we need

[1:01:10] something of the S to added in does that

[1:01:13] need to be by resolution or does it need

[1:01:16] to be an ordinance I don't I think it's

[1:01:19] an ordinance well I don't know on that

[1:01:21] fee structure was that change so that

[1:01:24] the the dog licenses could be done by

[1:01:27] resolution it wasn't changed to that we

[1:01:30] were changing we're going to be having a

[1:01:31] public hearing Tuesday to change the

[1:01:33] ordinance for the dog licenses but that

[1:01:35] doesn't include the other pets and it

[1:01:37] doesn't include changing by

[1:01:40] resolution but the other thing with cats

[1:01:43] and other pets we have nothing in the

[1:01:46] ordinance or CH regarding that I don't

[1:01:49] know if that needs to be added in or can

[1:01:51] put in my

[1:01:53] resolution can we uh

[1:01:57] maybe submit something in favor of that

[1:02:00] so it's part of the record and the

[1:02:02] council

[1:02:04] to do it by resolution going forward and

[1:02:08] adding the other pets in it you know

[1:02:11] again say it's $20 registration it's one

[1:02:14] time

[1:02:15] fee

[1:02:17] uh you want it a one time fee because

[1:02:20] what if a person moves or they have you

[1:02:24] know we want to have it maintained

[1:02:27] yearly so that we know that the animal

[1:02:29] is still there at the house like the dog

[1:02:31] lies

[1:02:33] yeah we put more burden on you doing the

[1:02:36] upkeep yes that would be the

[1:02:39] ideal component I mean because

[1:02:41] eventually what we're hoping is that our

[1:02:43] police would know that there's a pet

[1:02:45] there to be rescued or you know taken

[1:02:48] care of whatever the case

[1:02:50] is is it registered how is it

[1:02:53] registered we'll have a well we don't we

[1:02:56] don't do a registry now but we're

[1:02:58] looking to implement it put it

[1:03:02] incription

[1:03:13] work legal to see what is needed and if

[1:03:16] we need an ordinance or a resolution or

[1:03:19] we need to amend anything and move

[1:03:20] forward to next week to add this as part

[1:03:23] of our Fe structure those Fe they're not

[1:03:26] in the is that Revenue oh oh yeah okay

[1:03:30] yeah yeah the revenue yeah the PD add

[1:03:32] all

[1:03:33] those and also

[1:03:36] afor so we'll follow up on that um in

[1:03:40] the next couple

[1:03:44] days so so would that up our Revenue

[1:03:47] well actually we have okay S I see that

[1:03:51] that's not going to be change the bottom

[1:03:53] line offset a little bit of the expenses

[1:03:56] and I hope to next year maybe add uh two

[1:04:00] home rules to change the cost of birth

[1:04:02] and death we haven't increased it in

[1:04:04] maybe two or more decades Albany has

[1:04:08] increased theirs but the only way we can

[1:04:10] change it is through home roll

[1:04:14] okay mean you mean to come and get a

[1:04:17] death certificate yeah the cost to get a

[1:04:19] copy of it we can't do anything with

[1:04:21] marriages but birth and death

[1:04:24] yes St raise their fees but don't allow

[1:04:27] the locali to raise theirs I

[1:04:32] see do you have to wait till next year

[1:04:34] to start the home why don't we start as

[1:04:38] hardly as we can and get those into the

[1:04:42] assembly start in

[1:04:45] January saying we can start put them

[1:04:48] together and get them we it out yeah so

[1:04:51] I think we should work on that in the

[1:04:52] next couple Cycles

[1:04:56] any other

[1:04:57] questions go ahead the overall amount on

[1:04:59] in this budget for ARA is one is 3.1

[1:05:02] million yeah

[1:05:10] Milli there was a spread sheet CL is

[1:05:19] 38278 all right um well the other

[1:05:22] question that came up the other day um

[1:05:23] Mr rush but you were sitting on

[1:05:26] but um about the 88 properties which is

[1:05:31] a little bit over 2 million that of U

[1:05:34] pending for no

[1:05:39] sales um so we have 86 properties

[1:05:42] according to our

[1:05:43] records

[1:05:45] um cancel so be

[1:05:48] 83 um have 29 active

[1:05:53] closings we have 12 that are waiting for

[1:05:55] re

[1:05:56] forclosure we have 15 that are

[1:05:59] contracted to bcni as an

[1:06:01] option um and two properties are

[1:06:04] licensed and the others um are in

[1:06:07] different phases some of these are from

[1:06:10] old resolutions so we have to locate the

[1:06:13] contracts my understanding is my

[1:06:15] predecessor used to do some sales based

[1:06:18] just on resolution so we're collecting

[1:06:21] some data on some of the ones that we

[1:06:23] need to locate the contracts on

[1:06:26] so you said there was 29 that active

[1:06:28] closings right now yeah so what I mean

[1:06:31] by that is U we either got clear a close

[1:06:34] or we've ordered title we're somewhere

[1:06:36] in the middle of closing sometimes they

[1:06:39] the buyer has to wait for the bank to

[1:06:40] get back to them so um I mean there

[1:06:44] that's what I counted from my my records

[1:06:47] so there's no um like estimate of how

[1:06:50] much money we would taken from those who

[1:06:52] are at least in that process those 20 I

[1:06:56] mean I can put that together for you for

[1:06:58] Monday if you like Tuesday or Tuesday

[1:07:01] for the next committee

[1:07:03] meeting but yeah I can put that together

[1:07:06] the amount from the active V Active
