I just say we call for the 5 00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:32,399 question. All right. If there's no other discussion, we'll go ahead and call for 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:37,320 the question. Call for it. Those opposed. 7 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,320 Motion carries. 8 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:46,719 All 9 00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,840 right.

Welcome to the new council members and 11 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,799 this is I'll start every meeting but this meeting no report. All right. uh 12 00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:20,400 generally would go into council report but uh I would suggest that we hold our 13 00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:26,040 council reports uh you know till the following meeting but we'll go ahead and 14 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,040 call for council reports 15 00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:32,439 no report 16 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:43,119 no report okay great 17 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:48,560 all right and our topic is budget. We'll go into the revenue part of it. 18 00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:54,320 [Music] Good public agenda. 19 00:01:51,200 --> 00:02:01,280 All right. Uh we do have uh at this special meeting, we also have uh our our 20 00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:05,880 public comments. Uh if there's anyone that would like to be recognized, raise 21 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,880 your hand. 22 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:12,879 All right. No one wants to be recognized as part of the agenda is closed. 23 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,680 All right. Policy agenda. 24 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:31,120 Clerk would read the policy agenda. Subject matters to discuss the fiscal 25 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:36,319 year 2526 municipal budget. All right. I'll entertain the floor. Anybody want 26 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:41,440 wants to make comments? Well, I think you have the spreadsheet. 27 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:46,239 I know it's kind of small to to read, but I think you have it on your screen, 28 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:51,680 too. Uh for Diana will for our new council members to come is is the the 29 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:59,040 guru when it comes to categories and and uh uh projections which you have is is 30 00:02:55,519 --> 00:03:03,200 what we're looking at for 26. That's the right hand column. I think that was 31 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,200 project based on last year's and the performance of this 32 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:15,120 year. what we project at the end of uh September and u also what we think uh in 33 00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:20,319 in in a few is pretty flat and uh we're going to have you know we'll go over any 34 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,920 questions that uh that you would have but about 75 million is what the bottom 35 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,720 line is and there have been some increases in 36 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:35,280 some categories and some things that uh u 37 00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:41,200 you know we did I think one big hit item was is the diversion. We estimated that 38 00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:45,519 you know the uh the insurance uh revenue didn't didn't pan out because of a lot 39 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:50,799 of things. So that was a pretty significant uh 40 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:57,280 decrease in at least the budget of of the uh revenue and uh we're open to 41 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:02,400 question Dian probably be the one who deliver answers to anything you might 42 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:08,000 see on that spreadsheet. It's it's we started this spreadsheet is 43 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:12,400 from the high hitters to the ones that generate the most revenue of course the 44 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:16,720 gaming you see 23 million and that was a record year that we we budgeted in the 45 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:24,000 past and we're probably going to be at that same uh guess as far as that 46 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,240 category of revenue then taxes and then some of the sales tax and use taxes but 47 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:33,919 they get up at the top part of your spreadsheet. All right. Uh I'm going to 48 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:40,400 start with uh Mr. Tisdale. You want to open some remarks, Mr. I do. I have some 49 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:44,800 uh some preliminary comments if you would. 50 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:51,120 Um I I I would hope that we would use a consistent revenue format 51 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:56,560 um that we've used in past years. I'll explain that a little more. I mean for 52 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,160 example this list of revenues from greatest contributors or the least 53 00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:05,759 contributors that doesn't help me much. Okay I think 54 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:11,280 sheare be bear with me bear with me. Um so I'd 55 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:17,520 like a slightly different format and I'll I'll make the copy available 56 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,759 uh of which we've done in past years. I think it would be a detailed revenue 57 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:28,000 report similar to what we get in the monthly financial reports. 58 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,440 Um that's the first thing. Also the the next thing is any handouts or documents 59 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,479 we're going to receive at budget workshops that we would receive them by 60 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:41,840 Friday at noon so we have time to look over them, check on some things, several 61 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:47,199 days to check on some things and enjoy our weekend. Uh but that didn't always 62 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:53,759 happen in past years. Um, I would like for those documents 63 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:59,199 that we receive to be mailed to us in a PDF format. Typically, they are, but 64 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:04,160 also if they're spreadsheet or a word, I would love that document in an Excel 65 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:10,000 format or a word format as well, not just a PDF. And that hard copies, well, 66 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:16,479 the clerks could prepare hard copies for us. Um during workshops I would like for 67 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:21,120 the documents that are being discussed be displayed on the screen up there. The 68 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,280 panel up there the digital panel folks can follow at home and folks out here in 69 00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:30,319 the audience can follow as well. I I'll give give you a copy of all these Mr. P. 70 00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:35,199 Um the documents like the combined fund 71 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:41,199 statement should be enlarged so that the numbers can be read comfortably. 72 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,680 uh you put them on an 11 and a I think it'll what it's 11 by 17 and it's still 73 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,319 it's just difficult to read it. We got to spread it over two or four of those 74 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:56,319 sheets. That's fine. Uh just so we can read them. Um 75 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:00,960 and for the the public budget hearing, we're a ways from that yet, but I would 76 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,919 like for these documents to be available for comment. The statement of revenue is 77 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:10,800 all funds which we typically do. I think the combined fund statement which we 78 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:16,319 typically do a summary of department budgets which we typically do uh non-EP 79 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,880 departmental appropriations sometimes it's referred to as discretionary 80 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:25,919 spending which we typically do and a list of the capital projects 81 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,039 uh that show the funding sources and the amount for each project. And I would 82 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:36,080 suggest we include the CDBG projects and just on a single line, 83 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:42,000 maybe the FEMA infrastructure project. I know a lot of that is done, but there's 84 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,919 there's still a balance there. Um, 85 00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:50,400 and a question dealing with non-EP departmental requests. 86 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:55,199 So, if we're going to we're we're going to discuss that at some point on the 87 00:07:52,479 --> 00:08:00,000 calendar that we received I think in June. And I'm thinking h how do the 88 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:04,160 folks who might want to request something or the folks who typically 89 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:11,440 request something how do they know that it's time to make a request? Does your 90 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:14,960 does your office do that? Okay. You know again as we go through 91 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:20,400 departmental departmental 92 00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:26,560 usually the last capital request within department detail 93 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:31,319 things that might be abused to say in this department I need $2 million in 94 00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:31,319 capitaliz 95 00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:46,720 usually do two or three departments in a session Right. Great. And I I I noticed 96 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:52,399 looking at the topics on the calendar that capital projects was not in there 97 00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:56,399 anywhere. I don't know. Could be with engineering for that 98 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:02,560 matter when we the capital projects that we that you might be looking to create 99 00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:07,040 in fiscal year 26. I'd like to know if we have capital projects that are going 100 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:11,680 to be launched in fiscal year 26. like to know what they are and where 101 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:19,600 where the funding sources are, the cost broken out, things like that. Um, 102 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:24,959 also this uh just in looking first time we've seen on the handout that you gave 103 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,680 us on the big sheet. Thank you very much. We have uh for fiscal year 26 104 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,320 we're looking at a total general fund figure of 75,350,000. 105 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:44,560 And then there's um transfers of 10 million almost $10.5 106 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,480 million. What? Yeah, Diane, if you would explain, 107 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:53,200 and I've never fully understood transfers, so go slowly for me. There is 108 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:58,560 ARPA money and infrastructure money in the general fund that is funding capital 109 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,800 projects and that is part of the total value. There's more than just that in 110 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:08,880 there, but that is the majority of it. So if those projects all finished within 111 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:13,519 26, that would be the amount needed. We carry it all because we don't know how 112 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:18,000 quick the work is going to go and when it's going to be used. So we recognize 113 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,880 every bit of it. Okay. Next question is so basically I 114 00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:27,600 understand the transfers for the most part are going to ARPA projects and 115 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:33,839 infrastructure infrastructure projects. Might that be FEMA related? 116 00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:37,360 No, it it's yeah the infrastructure money is a little different. It it's 117 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:42,000 could be used for pops fairy. It could be used for patch and replace. 118 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:47,600 It could it can be assigned to various items. 119 00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:51,519 Okay. Thank you. But the general fund also funds other 120 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:56,160 projects like the baseball maintenance fund. Correct. And and that's all in 121 00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,240 that number as well. Okay. Do we do we have a projected carryover or ending 122 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:05,839 balance of the general fund at this point in time for from fiscal year 25 to 123 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:14,079 26? Okay. Uh and the revenue figure 124 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:18,720 um total general fund would be 75 million. That's is that number going to 125 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:23,920 change in the future or is this the market we want to use to set our our 126 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:27,920 revenue? It could possibly be tweaked a little bit, but it's pretty close to 127 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,519 where it's going to be. Okay. And and that 75 million again includes 128 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:40,079 almost 10.5 million for AR and infrastructure issues. Um 129 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:44,720 Okay. The proceeds of note for 2 million. Explain that. We ordered a fire 130 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,839 truck this year that takes three years to build and when it comes in the note 131 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:54,640 will offset it because the expenses on the other side we carry the revenue on 132 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:59,920 this side. Okay. Fire truck. Thank you. Thank you very much. Um that's all I 133 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:04,959 have at this time. Uh Mr. President, thank you. All right. Uh the chair uh 134 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:09,839 will recognize anyone else that would like to make comments. We realize that 135 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:15,680 we have four new members. This is a a new process, but uh any questions, any 136 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:19,120 comments, if you got something, throw it out there. Okay, that's the only way 137 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:25,760 we're going to learn. Let me say we just pass this is that's 138 00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:32,800 not data in in categories, which is the same numbers. This is by 139 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,760 Thank you. Thank you. And and yeah, this is great. I'd like something a little 140 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:40,560 more detailed. Again, I'll get you a copy of what I'm talking about. Let's 141 00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:47,800 see what Thank you. All right. Anybody have any questions on 142 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,800 revenues as you look down this list? 143 00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:55,680 And this does not any council members. Yeah, this this does not pertain to 144 00:12:53,120 --> 00:13:01,360 proprietary funds, ports and and water and sewer. This is just general fun. 145 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:07,839 Thank I I do have uh some questions if my colleagues are still reviewing this 146 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:14,000 at this time. Uh as it uh relates to the sales tax rebate. That's our portion 147 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:18,720 that we get from sales taxes from the state. Is that what that is? Sales tax 148 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:23,120 rebate. So they're they're changing they're changing our sales tax 149 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:28,480 structure. Correct. Yes. On what we get. So of whatever the sales tax charge we 150 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,480 now get whatever they're charging whether they 151 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:38,480 charge for sales tax 6% or or whatever 7% 7% but 5% on groceries but we were 152 00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:43,760 told we will be made whole for that difference in that right so the 153 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:50,079 groceries are are not I think all SNAP related items that are sold at grocery 154 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:53,680 stores will have a 5% charge and then you know the the 155 00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:01,480 1.29 will be made whole which is not percentage of that 7%. So we still 156 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:11,360 Yeah. So here's my question. Uh when this was when it was originally being 157 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:20,399 proposed to revamp our sales tax and they said all things being equal, 158 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:24,240 our our actual uh take would be more. In other words, our share would be even 159 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,519 more. All things being equal the way they were restructuring it. And I know 160 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,120 we got it flat in this budget. Um, should we consider that or do we need to 161 00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:36,880 look at a model? Because I thought it was going to be an increase. But they're 162 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,920 going to be collecting less and when they collect less, we're getting a 163 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,639 higher percentage because it equals out. I did the math and it comes out the same 164 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:50,240 numbers. Okay. Looked at a prior year and then I converted it to the new 165 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,680 formula and it was exactly the same. And and that's mainly because of the 166 00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:59,440 reduction in the grocery tax. It's reduction. Yeah. The overall tax from 7% 167 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:05,519 to 5%. Okay. So then they raised our share so that we got in essentially the 168 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:10,560 same amount. One one model I saw early actually saw that we would show a little 169 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:17,440 bit of an increase. So but I'm trusting you on that and I appreciate the 170 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:21,120 explanation. Um let's see going down to the diversion fees. Can 171 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,800 you kind of bring me up to speed because that's a big swing. So why is that a big 172 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:32,320 swing? We enter in into the year with Secure X. We had some uh some experience 173 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:37,839 for a few months in the prior year and we projected 600,000 over the year and 174 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:42,800 we you know we wind up with 6,000 because of some lawsuits and some things 175 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:47,600 that we suspended that that's uh that component. So that's not in the budget. 176 00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:52,880 Okay. We have received no money all year except for one month. No worries. And 177 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:57,120 then uh this is a minimal amount and I still want to question it because it may 178 00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:02,399 relate uh to another part of the budget when we get to it later on. Um when we 179 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:07,440 get deep into the process rent on the old uh Lexi Library second floor, we're 180 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:12,880 just not renting that anymore. It is not rented at the moment. I believe it needs 181 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:18,320 renovations to be rented. Okay. So that's why we struck that out of the the 182 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:25,920 equation. Thank you. Thank you for that. um county bond or county road tax 183 00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:31,440 sharing that's changed 125,000 184 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:38,240 in I think it was fiscal year 24 let me see we had a huge increase one year I 185 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:43,759 think it was 24 so we planned for 25 to be similar to 24 because we get no 186 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:50,480 support for backup on this and 25 is not following 24's format so we've taken 26 187 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:54,320 26 similar to 25 which is similar to 23 in years prior. 188 00:16:52,480 --> 00:17:00,480 Okay, makes sense. Recoveries 189 00:16:56,959 --> 00:17:06,160 big swing in there. Recoveries had some extra money in it 190 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:10,480 for fees that we were going to charge to third parties that did stuff within the 191 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:15,480 city and that has not come to fruition. So, I did not include that in 26 budget. 192 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:23,839 Uh and then there was some interest in uh investments. 193 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,200 I thought investments I thought we did all high today. Well, stock market 194 00:17:26,959 --> 00:17:33,360 interest changes and has gone down a little bit over time. So, I was planning 195 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:37,840 for it to continue next year. I mean, I magic eightball doesn't always work 196 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:42,799 right. Um but we also are going to have some decrease in cash if the funds go 197 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:51,000 out for the Popsberry. It's not working as hard. So I'm Yeah. And I'm planning 198 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000 for less cash, so less interest. 199 00:17:52,240 --> 00:18:02,559 All good. All very logical explanations. Appreciate it. Um that's all I have at 200 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:07,360 this point, Mr. Ker. Does this include grants? Yes, it does. 201 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:11,679 Tyl grants from the capital projects fund. 202 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,640 This is only the general fund. Thank you. 203 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:18,480 If you if you look at your schedule, everything that shows in the white tile 204 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:26,080 that looks like 20 number, those are grants. GR signal about midway you 205 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:30,160 through CGR one such as a grand revenue. Let me explain something to you Jamie. 206 00:18:27,679 --> 00:18:34,960 We have multiple funds, but you can only have one general fund, and that's what 207 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:39,760 this is. The general fund is our primary fund where the majority of the city 208 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:48,000 operates out of. It is a governmental fund. And um it it is our main fund. 209 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:53,840 Every single thing from employees for cleaning and admin it's all in here. 210 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:59,360 Then we have two proprietary funds which is the port and water and sewer. Those 211 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:04,880 both act like an actual business. They are considered enterprise funds and go 212 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:10,320 on full acral basis. And then we also have other funds that are like special 213 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:14,880 project funds or special revenue funds. Um, when the police department gets 214 00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:19,440 seized money, that goes into a special revenue fund and it stays separate. The 215 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,760 fire department gets fire rebate money, it goes into a separate fund and things 216 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:27,679 flow in and out of that fund and it may fund the general fund, but it's reported 217 00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:31,600 in a separate fund. They have to get permission to use it or they have 218 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,360 guidelines to follow. And then there's a capital projects fund 219 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:40,480 where we do all the major things like the copsberry road extension or 220 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:46,240 tidelands money restore mea those are all in a separate fund and then we have 221 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:52,880 some agency funds and some internal funds our insurance or self-insured 222 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:57,520 those are in self um internal funds and those funds will actually build back the 223 00:19:54,799 --> 00:20:02,320 general fund and the proprietary funds for their cost and their portion of the 224 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320 daily bills. 225 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:13,760 Okay. Um on gaming tax and you know it's relative you know I believe to how the 226 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:18,960 hotels are performing. Uh year to date hotels are slightly up. They're slightly 227 00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:25,200 up and and I know we're trying to be conservative here to for forecast 228 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:32,720 something relatively flat. Um, and if I'm reading this correct correct year to 229 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:37,919 date or fiscal year collected 66%, right? And we're into how many months of 230 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:42,000 the fiscal year? This was except period 8. So we're through 9 months. So we got 231 00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:47,280 three more months to go, right? All right. So we we're we're kind of on 232 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:52,320 track if you all things considered equal. However, the the next three 233 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:57,280 months are our biggest banner months as far as tourism, gaming, you know, etc. 234 00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:02,320 So, I'm just wondering that that could be a slightly conservative a little bit 235 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,280 more conservative figure. And I ask this question every year. I'm always wanting 236 00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:10,320 to push the envelope, push it a little bit higher, make sure we get that and 237 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,520 and we don't want to be irresponsible and push it too high. And we got to come 238 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:18,400 back and do budget amendments when when we fall short. But when I did the 239 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:23,840 budget, I looked at where we were year two and we're at4% increase for the 240 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:28,000 prior year for the first 9 months and then I forecasted what I thought the 241 00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:32,080 next 3 months were going to be to arrive at the figure and it pretty much comes 242 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:39,039 with the 23 million give or take a few dollars. So I just picked 23 million. 243 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,880 Okay. But but we've collected 66% right of of what we projected. Is that what it 244 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:48,159 is? Well, it might be a little more now from when this was done cuz I I can't 245 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:53,360 keep updating where we were and then use it to May and then I forecast what I 246 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:57,360 think June, July, August, and September are going to be. Okay. Which are our 247 00:21:55,679 --> 00:22:01,919 banner months and that's that's what I'm just saying. I mean, those are that's 248 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:05,679 our 100 days when we make the majority of our money in the tourism industry. 249 00:22:03,679 --> 00:22:10,000 I'm just wondering if that may be a little conservative. 250 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,640 I'll look at it again. Okay. No disrespect, but you know, I certainly 251 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:20,720 appreciate the they do. I think the number of weekends impact those three or 252 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:25,679 four months too, you know, as far as GR 253 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:31,760 anyway. No, sure been very last year 23 million was a record and and I think as 254 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:37,520 far as GR we were at a million 90 a billion 91 million and I think this last 255 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:44,120 year was a billion 69 million. So we're right at where we were recordwise 256 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,120 across all 8%. 257 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:50,640 I I would just ask consideration to take a look at it being that this next 100 258 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:55,360 days is our biggest revenue producing months. Just take another look at it if 259 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:59,840 you will. I know you I know you got professional care that's beyond 260 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:05,520 reproach. I'm just asking from from a tourism lens if you take a look at it. 261 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,799 Okay, that's all I have gentlemen. Any any other comments? Just 262 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,600 M just M just M just M just M just M just M just M just M just M just 263 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,760 question I don't know if you guys know but any word on last year's audit when 264 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:20,880 we may receive that? Yes, it'll be presented at next week's budget meeting. 265 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:26,039 Okay, great. It's done and we'll file the reports that we're in compliance for 266 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,039 George Martin. 267 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,679 We don't have a council meeting next week, but we will have a budget workshop 268 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,240 next week. presented at the budget workshop and what I'm assuming that'll 269 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:40,000 be at 1:30. Does that work for everybody? Okay, 270 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:45,520 thank you. Just want to be clear on it. Thank you. All right. Uh generally this 271 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:50,400 process will will certainly change. This is a a starting point on the revenues. 272 00:23:48,159 --> 00:23:54,480 Um it certainly can go up or down a little bit. It's pretty fluid. Uh but 273 00:23:52,720 --> 00:24:00,320 this is the beginning of getting into the nuts and bolts of of our budget for 274 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:03,720 this year. If there's no other comments. If there's no 275 00:24:04,159 --> 00:24:13,360 Yes. I need a motion. So move. Do I have a second? 276 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:19,679 Second by Mr. Shoemaker. 1:30. Next week? Y'all got the date?
