17
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:46,000
» I hate being short. Jamie Anderson,
11905 Northeast 11th place. I came

18
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:51,119
tonight fully expecting to have to pitch
the 300,000 for the rec center uh

19
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:59,119
playground equipment and then I looked
at the budget. I am so glad to see that

20
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:04,079
in there. I mean, as few amenities as we
have, you have one that is so well used,

21
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:07,840
such a focal point for the community to
have thought that it would have to be

22
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,520
shut down when you had a shovel ready
project and you knew where the monies

23
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,840
were from. Yes, it would have been
wonderful if we got the allocation.

24
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:21,800
Well, life happens. Anyway, I hope that
stays in there and I hope we see that

25
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:21,800
new equipment soon. Thanks.

26
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,560
» Thank you.
Any others? Going once, going twice, up

27
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:32,879
to Zoom. Do we have any on Zoom? Any
with Madam Clerk? See none. See none.

28
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Okay. All right. Very good. So, we'll go
ahead and close public comment at this

29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,640
time. Uh, any commission reply to public
comment before we move on?

30
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:45,440
None. Hearing none. Okay. All right.
Very good. So, uh, let's go ahead and

31
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,000
move into our ordinances as our
resolutions are empty for this evening.

32
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:54,720
So, uh, John, just as a point of order,
uh, as a reminder for myself, I think I

33
00:02:51,760 --> 00:03:02,480
ask this every year. We the first we
will we will do the the we'll open the

34
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:07,280
first ordinance item t did you expect
that I was going to ask this question?

35
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Yeah. Okay. So then yes one of you
>> under applicable Florida law um you must

36
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:20,480
adopt the millage rate first before you
can adopt your final budget. However, as

37
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:25,680
part of the mandatory consideration for
your millage rate is the budget. You

38
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,879
know, without talking about the budget,
how do you decide how you're eventually

39
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:34,879
going to get to your millage rate?
Unless, you know, you're you're pretty

40
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:40,080
um as a group, you're pretty much okay
with your uh with the budget as it is

41
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:43,680
being proposed that translates into your
existing millillage. Yes, the first

42
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,159
order of business is to take up the
millillage. Um so what a lot of

43
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,680
jurisdictions do and what this uh
village has historically done is you

44
00:03:50,560 --> 00:04:02,879
will read into um the record the
ordinance for uh the final millillage uh

45
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:09,280
on first reading um t talk about it um
table it then read into the record the

46
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,760
title of the ordinance uh on first
reading adopting the final budget

47
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,160
discuss the budget and how it impacts
the millage rate. If there's anything

48
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:24,160
that you may end up uh modifying in the
budget that would then again affect that

49
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:28,800
millage rate, uh table the ordinance
uh uh for the adoption of the final

50
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,919
ordinance, I mean, sorry, the final
budget

51
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,240
» back to
>> and then go back and and uh take up and

52
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,720
and uh vote on first reading of the
millillage ordinance and then

53
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:46,479
» then go back to Got it. Okay, I I
remember. Thank you, John. One

54
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:52,880
additional uh item
uh recent adoption of state statute by

55
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:57,759
the Florida legislature because you are
proposing a uh increase in your

56
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:02,720
millillage uh above roll back rate
there. It would have to be adopted by a

57
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:04,160
four fifths um uh
>> right

58
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:08,880
» oops
>> right

59
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:15,360
» you don't need a a 40 because you're not
going above the 110% staying below it.

60
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,800
So you need that purpose vote adopt both
uh items.

61
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,680
» Understood. All right, John. Thank you
very much. So in that case, John, would

62
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,960

63
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:29,199

The second ordinance uh is ordinance

93
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,440
on first reading entitled an ordinance
the village commission of the village of

Going once, going twice, hearing none.

101
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Okay. So, uh we'll talk about the second
ordinance first before we move back in.

102
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Um so, uh Mr. Manager, before we move
into it, and Paul, I don't know if you

103
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:09,759
have any anything to add on it, but are
there any changes? Uh you handed out um

104
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:15,360
uh the summary beforehand.
>> Um Mr. Mayor, if I could. Sure. So, um,

105
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:20,080
just to give you a brief introduction
and then I'll turn it over to Paul and

106
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,599
he'll he'll talk about both ordinances
tonight. You're you're going to make two

107
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:29,120
decisions. What our millage rate should
be and then the first reading our of our

108
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:33,599
budget. So, uh, we're asking you to set
the millage of 9.2.

109
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:40,000
Uh, we have consistently lowered the
millillage each year. We're lowering it

110
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:45,760
this year from 9.3 to 9.2. That's our
suggestion. Also they um are we're

111
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,839
asking we had two budget workshops
already. Each department made a

112
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:55,680
presentation of their budget. During
those two uh two days of uh budget

113
00:08:53,680 --> 00:09:02,000
workshops each of the directors came
forward uh presented their budgets. Uh

114
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:08,240
you had back back and forth questions.
Um and as a result uh if you look at the

115
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:16,480
budget summary I know it's it's very
small to look at but on the screen if

116
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:24,560
you look at it so in 20 20 uh 2021
uh the uh the village uh had in in

117
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:31,120
revenues we had an increase from 2020
2022 to 2027 we had an increase in

118
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,120
revenues of of approximately 1 million
$570,296

119
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:41,519
increase in revenue. And in the expan
expenditures,

120
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:49,240
uh actually uh there's a difference in
2022 to 2027 and expenditure is a

121
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:49,240
difference of 1,24,669

122
00:09:50,800 --> 00:10:02,120
uh from 2022 to 2027. So there's a
we're we're actually going to have a

123
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,120
surplus next year of $59,661

124
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:12,000
as the uh uh difference. Now Paul's
going to talk to you a little bit about

125
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:17,680
our where we are with our reserves now u
and our emergency reserves and also on

126
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:23,519
our our um operating reserves and what
our recommendations for those two uh

127
00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:29,760
reserves are. But financially, I think
you're really in a good shape and for I

128
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:35,760
haven't in and the village I haven't
seen this in a in a a long time and I

129
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:42,720
think it's a a testament to this board
and what your um your direction has been

130
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:47,360
to to the administration and keeping our
our our budget down. So with that, I'll

131
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:53,120
turn it over to Paul to make a a brief
introduction, a brief presentation about

132
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,680
both the uh illustrate in our first
reading of the budget.

133
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,959
» Thanks, Al.
>> You're up, Paul.

134
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,920
» Thank you.
Yeah, these uh these sheets go a little

135
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:08,320
small uh when you try to put a lot of
information and you may remember the uh

136
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:13,120
state changed the law where you have to
have uh 5 years comparative budget up

137
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:17,279
there at all times. So, that's one of
the reasons why the the budget looks the

138
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:23,519
way it does is because of the statute uh
that they they added. Uh so like the

139
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:27,279
village manager said uh this is again
and I I hate to be so positive because

140
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:32,480
nobody believes me but uh this is an
exceptional uh beginning of a year end

141
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:37,680
of a year uh type of budget meeting. Uh,
all good news. When if you can see on

142
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:42,000
the the chart that's on the screen now,
if you go to the projected endofear

143
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:48,079
balance, I believe it should be right
right around 1.3 million, and that's

144
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:54,079
expecting about $230,000 for the next uh
two months of bill paying. Uh that

145
00:11:51,600 --> 00:12:00,000
that's a little complicated, but it's a
very large uh balance, and it has to do

146
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:04,399
with a lot of funds uh through your CIP,
through everything. But the point is

147
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:10,240
that that's really money that you have
available to you to transfer into the

148
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:15,440
future. Moving over the 2027 budget that
the manager has and his staff have

149
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:20,639
developed for you. Uh it has a built-in
$500,000 surplus.

150
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Again, those are very positive things.
The the basic, you've heard me say this

151
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:30,160
and I say it every time, the service
level for the village has not been

152
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:35,360
impacted. yet you're able to produce
this budget with with a substantial

153
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:42,959
surplus. And because of that and and
dialogues we've with staff, we brought

154
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:47,279
back to you a 9.2 based millage budget,
not the 93 that we had worked through

155
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:52,880
because it was very obvious that that
was, you know, $40,000

156
00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:58,639
difference. It it just it would we we
understood and and the manager directed

157
00:12:54,959 --> 00:13:03,200
us that uh is very likely you would want
to lower the the rate. We're prepared to

158
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:08,880
go back to the 93 which is your maximum
that you can consider tonight. Uh but

159
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:14,240
the 92 still produces uh excellent uh
surplus. With that surplus

160
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:20,160
uh and no changes to the service level,
everything that you've spent during the

161
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:23,680
workshops is is intact. uh our one of
our most prominent residents that comes

162
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,880
to all of our budget meetings made a
comment uh that she was very happy that

163
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:33,920
the playground made it in there. I had
no doubts that that was the direction

164
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:38,160
either. So I I don't know if people were
other people were worried about it, but

165
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:42,880
the good news is it it is in your CIP.
This is a tricky picture to give you,

166
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,959
but I so I'm keeping it simple. Just
saying, look, you're you're rolling over

167
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:53,279
over a million dollars like we talked
about into your reserve components.

168
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:59,120
You're keeping your CIP money uh that
wasn't spent, moving that over. You're

169
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:03,680
you're adding 300,000 to it. I will note
that it's a little confusing because we

170
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:07,920
only spent 300,000 and that's no one's
fault and we added in 300. So, it's it

171
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:13,199
looks like the same number, but it is
not. We did expend uh we expect to

172
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:17,600
expend a total of about 300,000 this
fiscal year, and that's not unusual with

173
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:22,000
a CIP budget. And you can see the roofs
going on. You can see the other projects

174
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:27,920
are moving, but the payments lag quite a
bit behind um contractually. So, with

175
00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:33,839
that said, uh I don't have a component
of your financial condition uh to

176
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:38,480
complain about or criticize or to beg
for. Uh, so I'm going to be very boring

177
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:44,880
in my my presentation. Uh, and that's
good news. The the the last piece of the

178
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:50,240
puzzle for you uh today is to determine
how you want to handle the the reserves.

179
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:56,160
Uh, no matter what millage rate you
pick, you're going to have a little over

180
00:14:51,680 --> 00:15:02,720
$5 million uh to to allocate at your
discretion. Historically, you've been

181
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:07,279
looking at a 7030 splits uh 7525. you've
had kind of that range 30% being in an

182
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,560
unassigned
reserves meaning money that the manager

183
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:15,120
could come back to you and say hey we
need to buy this here's where I want

184
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:20,399
it's not in the budget this is where
we're taking it from and that's it's

185
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:25,680
like excuse the term it's a very large
contingency basically uh for e not not

186
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:32,000
emergencies but more urgent unexpected
expenses emergencies are defined in your

187
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:36,720
emergency reserve uh ordinance I believe
It's an ordinance and in that ordinance

188
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:41,040
it identifies the emergencies that would
qualify using it. So there's there's

189
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:46,399
really not a lot of risk in loading up
your emergency reserves. The the optics

190
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:50,399
of it are fantastic. Uh should you be in
the

191
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:54,000
bonding world one day, these are the
financial numbers that you're going to

192
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:57,839
require to get a good bond rating and
and to be successful with a low interest

193
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,639
rate. That's what a bond rating does for
you. It keeps your cost down. So, all

194
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,639
that said, uh I think in a in
consultation with the manager that

195
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:12,000
there's a really nice number sitting in
front of you uh that looks would look

196
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:16,800
fantastic and be very healthy of of
putting your emergency reserves at a $5

197
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:22,399
million even and let the b the balance
fall uh it's about $540,000 would fall

198
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:27,839
into your unassigned reserves. Here's
why. Your budget is proposed with a

199
00:16:25,199 --> 00:16:33,040
surplus of about 500,000. So that's
going to be barring any operational

200
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,800
changes that come to light through the
year, you're going to have a million

201
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:40,079
dollars to at your discretion through
the manager to to handle. And that's

202
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:44,399
that's kind of what I talked about the
last meeting or at the last workshop.

203
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:50,560
That that's a very healthy number for
this village. It's it's uh it's 20 Yeah,

204
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:56,800
it's 20% of your operating budget ready
cash. That's excellent. and and the the

205
00:16:53,839 --> 00:17:02,959
optics and the the philosophy, if you
will, of having a an emergency reserve

206
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:08,160
of 5 million uh has tangible benefits.
Uh all of the money will be all of your

207
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:12,880
extra cash uh is always in a in the
highest interest earning account that we

208
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,679
that we're allowed to use. You have two
options now. One that have been

209
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,480
authorized. One of them is the state
board account which is traditionally

210
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:26,240
what everyone uses be but because of the
economy uh in saving or the rates are

211
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:31,280
high enough now that the banks are
offering a qualified government savings

212
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:35,360
account which you opened up and have
been operating in for four or five

213
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,240
months. I believe you authorized that at
a meeting earlier this year. So all that

214
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:46,720
said I I think the picture is pretty
clear to you. Uh 9.2 to millillage is

215
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:53,039
what I'm anticipating and I'm also
anticipating the uh split be 5 million

216
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:57,600
in the balance uh between emergency
reserves and unassigned and uh you know

217
00:17:55,919 --> 00:18:01,520
the balloon should fall right now and
the band should start playing when when

218
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:05,760
you get to give a speech like that in
this business. So thank you for for

219
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:11,039
working together.
No balloons. I get it.

220
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:14,720
» Sorry, didn't anticipate it. It's not
Paul. Thank you very much. Um, are there

221
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:19,440
any questions for for Paul uh on the
presentation you just provided to us?

222
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,039
» No, I just wanted to thank you for what
you did on the budget. It was pretty

223
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:27,120
good. You know, with the work that you
did, I'm very satisfied with it.

224
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:31,919
» The the duck in the pond understand duck
in the pond analogy. We we look calm on

225
00:18:29,919 --> 00:18:36,000
the surface, but we're kicking like hell
underneath the water. And so staff has

226
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:41,520
really worked hard. The manager's
expertise is shining thankfully for all

227
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:45,280
of us. And you got what you need. You
got what? This this village is is

228
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,440
clicking the way it should be.
>> Thank you.

229
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,120
» I would ask one question, Paul. This
handout we got this is the 9. This would

230
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,520
represent 9.2.
>> That's the 92. I apologize. There's a

231
00:18:55,039 --> 00:19:00,960
there's the 93 lingering in the title
was not edited. That's some my

232
00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:05,520
accountants are the best in the world,
but they don't look at that line uh in a

233
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:09,200
when I ask them to send me something in
in 10 minutes, that kind of thing. So,

234
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,960
my apologies, but yeah, that's the 92. I
checked it.

235
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:13,039
» That's what I figured. I just wanted to
clarify that.

236
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,880
» I already sent them a note that by the
way, when the budget's finished, fix

237
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,880
that.

238
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:20,880
» This way.
>> Yeah, it probably could have been

239
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:23,760
printed.
>> I think if we would put it this way,

240
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,840
you'll be able to see it much better.
>> Yeah, in in landscape would have been a

241
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,039
little better. Uh I just turned my phone
to the side so I can see it.

242
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:40,720
» So, but where's the difference coming
from from the 9.2 to 9.3? So, as you as

243
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:46,400
you go down to the bottom three or four
lines on that sheet, you'll see the uh

244
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:52,080
excess,
which shows excess uh there's that's

245
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:56,320
where it comes from. So, you had a
surplus in your budget and the 9 the

246
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:01,200
only difference is the 92 and the 93
there's about $44,000 difference between

247
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:05,679
them in the surplus. So, you just
subtract it from there.

248
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:10,799
So that's this is not in the agenda. The
woodwork the 9.2.

249
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,799
» No, that was emailed out
prior.

250
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,880
» I don't know if your mic's on,
Commissioner. I'm having

251
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:23,360
» It's on. Sorry, it's better far away.
>> Um,

252
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,000
» which one is this again? If I wanted to
pick up,

253
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,159
» that one is not labeled, but it is the
92. The one today's handout at

254
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:32,400
» No, but I'm saying from the agenda. If I
wanted to pick

255
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,480
» one of the agendas 93
>> and what's the name of it? Is it a

256
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,080
summary budget summary?
>> Yes, that's the summary schedule.

257
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,400
» Thank you.
>> Which is helpful because of the bottom

258
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:49,919
right corner gives you what you're
dealing with.

259
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:56,559
» Okay, I see it. So instead of the 558
550 on excess, you have um 509.

260
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,320
» Correct.
>> 66.

261
00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:05,919
» Yeah. So about 50,000. And which item,
which line is being touched to get here?

262
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:11,919
» That excess line. That's the only one.
>> Okay. So, you're basically

263
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:14,720
» the budget's unchanged. Just the surplus
that you have at your discretion as I

264
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,400
was
>> go into that saving.

265
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,080
» So, then you have a choice of how much
of that you keep in an unassigned

266
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,039
category, which means it's not budgeted
for anything, but it's readily available

267
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:30,880
without restrictions.
>> Yeah. Then what you put into the

268
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,559
emergency roof emergency fund has
restrictions.

269
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:36,159
» Yeah.
>> As you've adopted.

270
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:40,080
» Yeah.
>> And staff's recommending that you take

271
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,240
that allocation as 5 million and the
balance

272
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:46,480
» respective. Say it again.
>> That you take that those allocations as

273
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:51,640
5 million in emergency reserve and the
balance in an unassigned C category.

274
00:21:51,840 --> 00:22:01,039
» What percentage did we do last year?
I believe it was 7030.

275
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:06,799
» You can see on the bottom
>> like third or fourth column. Yeah,

276
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:09,520
» you'll see the two numbers there that
>> those are the that's the balance. I

277
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,720
don't have the math right in front of
me. And it changes a little bit because

278
00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:19,039
as we actually finish the year, there's
a new number. It it's never to the

279
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:24,159
penny. It can't be. We're projecting.
Uh, so we force that percentage that's

280
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,760
in your ordinance or that when you adopt
your final budget ordinance, you force

281
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:33,520
that percentage and that's what we will
fit it to. You could this year if you

282
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,360
wanted to say like I said it in the
resolution or the ordinance, excuse me,

283
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:42,960
5 million in emergency reserve and the
balance in unassigned that we would

284
00:22:39,679 --> 00:22:48,559
accomplish that exactly that way. If you
say percentage, we'll do a percentage.

285
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:51,880
But I I like the this the optics of the
clean five.

286
00:22:52,400 --> 00:23:00,559
» Okay, great.
>> A lot easier to remember, too.

287
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:04,080
» Certainly. Uh so I guess then uh
really what's being proposed in front of

288
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,840
us is is what Paul's saying and what the
manager is proposing. if we want to uh

289
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:13,280
if we want to put the 5 million into the
emergency and put the rem the remainder

290
00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:17,200
into the unassigned um I guess outside
of I mean outside of you know wholesale

291
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:21,039
changes to the budget that we have in
front of us uh which I I don't

292
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:24,960
necessarily think we we we're dealing
with this evening I think that's kind of

293
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:27,120
the critical decision if that this
commission uh should be making right

294
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,120
now.
>> Correct. In the in the net effect, if if

295
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:35,360
should you have an item that you decide
to change between now and final reading,

296
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,880
it would just subtract the allocation to
unassigned.

297
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,840
» Right. Right. Of course. And remind me
the what's the approximate number of

298
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,600
that would be a
>> little over 500 560,000.

299
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:51,200
» Okay. Got it.
>> Okay. Um if there's uh if there's no

300
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:52,320
other questions from the commission, uh
>> question.

301
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,520
» Oh, sorry,
>> Paul. This unassigned versus assigned,

302
00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:01,360
we set that every year. So it's a pot of
5 million in excess. If we say we're

303
00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:04,400
overzealous this year and we put 5
million flat and next year we decide

304
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,559
there's going to be a big expenditure,
do we reset?

305
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:10,640
» You can adjust it each year. Yes.
>> So it's lock it's only locked in

306
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,960
reserves for one fiscal annually.
Correct.

307
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,400
» And then so if we if we're overzealous
this year, we could always re come back

308
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:21,840
next year.
And that was a very conscious strategy

309
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:26,960
of this commission to to not have a
handcuff uh especially in the nature of

310
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:32,159
this village where you had lots of
construction projects aspirationally set

311
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,480
a set set in front of you. You have lots
of grants that come or go. You know, you

312
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:42,400
had a lot of moving parts where and you
you don't have $80 million in reserves.

313
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:46,480
So, that was a very agile uh intentional
thing to do and and I I wouldn't change

314
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:51,440
it either. I I like that it gives you
that annual uh element. It gives you the

315
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:56,159
restriction of what's in the emergency
ordinance, which is decent. You know,

316
00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:03,200
it's you picked it. Uh but you the the
flip of it is your operating budget is

317
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:06,720
not very agile because if you had to
move a sign and you're not it's a small

318
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:11,600
budget so it's not likely, but if you
had to move significant money from admin

319
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:17,919
to public works or vice versa, that's an
ordinance. And so that's less, you know,

320
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:22,720
agility and flexibility. So your
flexibility really lies in having an

321
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:26,080
unassigned category at the bottom of
your budget. It's just how you're

322
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:30,080
structured. And it makes sense. You you
have a lot of pieces. And your CIP kind

323
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:35,039
of picked a lot of that up also
historically that that's gotten a lot

324
00:25:32,159 --> 00:25:38,880
cleaner and clearer to present that.
Okay, we have, you know, you're telling

325
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,799
everybody what your projects are in the
CIP. You're not telling it because you

326
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,880
don't know what they are in the
unassigned and that's healthy. I like I

327
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:51,919
like that approach that has all the
parameters. It's got good separation of

328
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:57,360
context in terms of use of funds. So
that it it this all this this checks

329
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:02,240
every box in the finance director world.
>> Very good. Thank you very much, Paul.

330
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:07,520
» Uh all right. So if there are uh no
additional questions on uh this part of

331
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:10,400
the ordinance at this time, now we move
to table this one. Sean, sorry. You're

332
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,919
going to butt in and stop me.
>> No, actually.

333
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:17,039
» Okay.
>> The only the the significance of the

334
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:23,840
discussion that that just took place is
with regard to uh or how it impacts and

335
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:28,240
and is in section three of the ordinance
adopting the final budget. Uh

336
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:32,640
historically or certainly last year, you
specifically put forward

337
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:37,760
» percentages of of the the percentage,
right? So, you know, we just need to

338
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:42,159
know between, you know, first and second
reading um whether or not that

339
00:26:40,159 --> 00:26:46,960
percentage changes or if you're going to
stay at the 70%

340
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:52,480
um for purposes of of making sure that
the uh ordinance properly reflects your

341
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:56,400
decision moving forward. So then so
based on the recommendation then

342
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:59,200
wouldn't we be amending that language if
we if we are adopting what Paul and the

343
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,480
manager are presenting to us. Wouldn't
we be amending that language to say 5

344
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:07,600
million into emergency and remainder
into unassigned?

345
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:10,400
» It's in the ordinance it's set forth in
in a percentage number.

346
00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:12,799
» Okay. So you can just give us the
percentage.

347
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:14,559
» I'll work backwards for the percentage.
Yeah.

348
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:18,640
» Okay.
>> Okay. I was going to suggest I feel more

349
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,880
comfortable with just moving along how
we've been sustained a year over year

350
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:27,200
because then whoever comes next can have
the history as to why we've done it and

351
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,520
I think that would keep it clean. That's
my preference.

352
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,240
» That sounds good.
>> Very good. I

353
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,600
» have questions. So are we are we done?
Are you planning to jump into the next

354
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:37,200
ordinance for approval? Is that the plan
or

355
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,679
» So if there's visiting
>> Well, if there's no other questions on

356
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:44,080
this one, then we would table this one.
We go back to the first one for 92.

357
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:51,200
» Okay. So, I do have questions on the CIP
if we can um open that one. So, last

358
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:56,000
budget workshop we talked about putting
money into the CIP for the

359
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,399
» renovation,000 for the playground.
Correct.

360
00:27:56,399 --> 00:28:04,080
» So, that we're basically dipping into
our pockets and taking out 300,000 to

361
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,279
use for this. Is that my correct
reading?

362
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:12,080
» Uh in a in a manner absolutely. uh
you're using unassigned funds, you know,

363
00:28:10,159 --> 00:28:15,600
whether they were prior year or this
year or current, you know, what it

364
00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:20,799
doesn't matter. Yes, you're moving that
in, but you also expended about the same

365
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:26,559
amount of the CIP. So, you're you're
basically reallocating the same level of

366
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:31,840
investment in your CIP
consecutive years. That's one way to put

367
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:36,480
to look at it. And then if I go into the
specific projects, I want to look into

368
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:42,320
page number
four of the budget. There is a line

369
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:50,159
items of capital improvement plans. So
the comparison is FY26 and then 20 uh

370
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:55,679
2027. So I I want to understand I uh the
comparison. So, for example, the log

371
00:28:51,760 --> 00:29:03,120
cabin roof ADA has FY2026
$78,000 and it's proposed at $70,000.

372
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:08,760
What What does that mean? Do we need
double the investment? What What are we

373
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,760
repeating this?

374
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:15,279
» I wouldn't be able to speak to how the
budget allocation went like what how the

375
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:19,440
expenses are going. Maybe the manager
knows off the top. I don't So again, I'm

376
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:25,120
comparing FY2026
to FY 2027 for capital improvement plan.

377
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:30,240
» Some of some of those expenses we've
already um we've already made in this

378
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:36,559
fiscal year.
>> No. So that's not what I asked. So

379
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:42,159
adopted budget fiscal year 2026 for the
log cabin. We had assigned $78,000. That

380
00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:45,039
project is ongoing and ready to go.
Right.

381
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,520
» Yeah. that you have not financially been
hit with all

382
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,120
» I got a quick look at it off the
commissioner's tablet and and you've

383
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,399
only spent 5,000.
>> Yes.

384
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:58,320
» So the rollover to be exact could have
been maybe a thousand or so more.

385
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:02,559
» So it's just the difference between
what's already hit the the accounting

386
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:08,720
system versus what's projected to be
spent on the project. Okay,

387
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:16,320
» got it. So for example, the log cabin
lightning here was $9,000.

388
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:18,399
so far spent. It was approved $50,000 in
2026,

389
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:24,720
» right?
>> The difference will be $41,000, but we

390
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:29,120
have $50,000 allocated for 2027,
>> right?

391
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:35,679
» So why are we having more?
This is a question for the manager then.

392
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:39,760
» Yeah, I wouldn't know without looking.
>> I didn't I didn't get that. Commission,

393
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:42,399
» is there a way you can uh put on screen
the budget so we can all be looking at

394
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,360
the same stuff?
>> That's the IP PDF.

395
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:52,320
» I'm looking at the it's called the
capital project Fund FY27. That's the

396
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,039
the agenda today.
>> Okay. So, what was your question again,

397
00:30:54,559 --> 00:30:59,039
Commissioner?
>> So, if you go to page four, you're going

398
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:04,960
to see there's three columns. Year to
date, which is what we've spent on that

399
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:11,840
project. Then you have fiscal year 2026
which is what we've approved and then

400
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:19,760
proposed is fiscal year 2027.
So if we are we had already approved for

401
00:31:16,399 --> 00:31:26,000
this fiscal 50 grand for the cabin
lighting why are we proposing what looks

402
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,960
to be additional 50 here you understand
what I'm saying anybody

403
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:34,799
» not yet I I
>> okay just I'll take

404
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:39,279
we go I'm good yeah
>> because I think the the rest applies to

405
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:44,640
all of them um to your point I think
it's more what has hit the books versus

406
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:49,080
uh what hasn't. But it looks like it's a
duplicate. Like we haven't done

407
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,080
anything.

408
00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:58,000
» And you're on the lighting. Yeah. So you
have a 50,000. So

409
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:00,080
the allocation isn't as critical as the
total amount.

410
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,600
» Okay.
>> You follow me?

411
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:06,559
» Right. Yes.
>> So you're asking 30 grand extra to put

412
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:11,919
into this project somehow.
>> Not necessarily. uh the the allocations

413
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:18,880
can will change as the bills start
coming in and the accounting person who

414
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:22,399
would pick the amount of money just
smoothed it out a little bit because the

415
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:26,880
invoicing isn't really clear when we get
it. So the at the the point of it is

416
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,720
that it doesn't matter as much as we're
not saying we're shorting or or giving

417
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:35,279
more money to one of these line items.
It's the total amount of money that will

418
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:37,679
be move that will move over into CIP.
>> No, that's what I'm saying. So you 30

419
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:41,679
about 30.
>> It's not a smooth It's not an exact

420
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:46,480
number if that makes sense. In the
invoicing how much of it was designed,

421
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:51,760
how much of it is pre-order?
We didn't pull it apart.

422
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:57,519
» Okay. My my bottom line was that we're
asking 20 for 2027. You're asking

423
00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:02,159
$30,000 extra based on the just the
bottom line more or less. that that that

424
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:08,159
30,000 the only re the only difference
in that is how much of an invoice was

425
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:13,039
paid or not paid. So it's it's slightly
higher. Yeah. I think the playground

426
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:16,559
might have been
was only 300.

427
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:23,200
I don't I don't think we're actually
asking for 30,000 more. Um I think the

428
00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:27,519
projects got became more clear if that
makes sense. it. I guess on paper it's

429
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,320
30,000 more compared to prior year, but
it has to do with how much was spent.

430
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:35,919
» That helps with my second question,
which is we've we've talked about all

431
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:40,320
these projects besides the um the rec
center uh specifically. So, Issa, I know

432
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:46,240
it's ready to go. For what I've heard,
it's like ready to go into um bidding

433
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,320
process, right? The the whole park. What
are we getting for 330?

434
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:55,679
What's the village going to get? What's
the what's included in there?

435
00:33:53,679 --> 00:33:57,919
commission. We'll we'll get you that
information between first and second

436
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,320
read.
>> Okay, great. So because I think that was

437
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:06,320
going to be the key question for me is
like either we're increasing the total

438
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:11,200
amount on capital improvement plan year
on top of the 300 that we were

439
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:14,399
allocating and then the commitment of
what are we telling people that next

440
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:19,359
year is going to happen in the rec
center and I'm curious what about so but

441
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:24,079
I'm okay with having that information
again my two questions isa are going to

442
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:28,240
be what are we buying and are we going
to do them next year so because we know

443
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:32,159
it didn't happen this year we didn't get
the funing ing, you know, for it. We're

444
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:36,800
pulling out from the pocket. We're going
to make this happen. What are we

445
00:34:33,919 --> 00:34:42,480
promising? I'm not clear on that. Um, so
hopefully for the second approval, we're

446
00:34:39,359 --> 00:34:47,119
good. Um, and then yeah, I guess just
fine-tuning what that means on the

447
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:50,800
bottom line. Yeah, I I we'll give you a
a breakdown as when we pull together

448
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:55,760
everything, but there's there's more
information moving around because when

449
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:59,440
you get the first bill for design, for
instance, if you look the second to last

450
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:05,200
line on there, the project support
management, that shows all of the funds

451
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:08,880
were spent and there's nothing budgeted
for the rest of it. That isn't actually

452
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:13,599
accurate because there's a percentage of
the project management spent each time.

453
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:17,839
So that to to divide that up to to
anyone's like to a pure satisfaction is

454
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:22,160
to take six projects and make them
agree. It's not going to happen uh

455
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,160
easily. The it's really the bottom line.
Uh so you added $300,000 to this but you

456
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:30,960
spent $358. The difference between them
is the 30 or so you're looking at.

457
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,240
» Got it.
>> Yeah.

458
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:38,880
» Understood. That was my main question
and I think I'm clear now.

459
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:43,680
» Righty. Thank you, Commissioner. Thank
you, Paul. And thank you, Isa. Um, okay.

460
00:35:41,839 --> 00:35:46,160
Um, if there are no other questions on
the ordinance, uh, at this time, let's,

461
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:47,839
uh, go ahead.
>> I do have one question.

462
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:52,000
» Yeah, sorry. Go ahead.
>> Uh, just a comment that we can get fixed

463
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:57,760
between first and second reading. If we
open up the parks and wreck budget, uh,

464
00:35:55,359 --> 00:36:00,560
object code 49, I'll give you the page
number in one second.

465
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:05,440
» 49.
>> Uh, page 14, it's the arts and culture

466
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:09,040
board events. Those dates that we have
there, just for transparency, those

467
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,320
don't equate to Fridays. there. I think
those were last year's dates that just

468
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,160
got copied and pasted if for anybody
who's looking at that.

469
00:36:13,359 --> 00:36:17,200
» Oh, I see.
>> Just maybe fix those dates between first

470
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:21,119
and second reading because that's
Friday, October 10th is it's not a

471
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,920
Friday and Sunday, December 14th is not
>> I got that noted. Thank you.

472
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,320
» So, just that's just little things I
noticed that maybe we can just for

473
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:32,000
transparency uh sake.
>> All righty.

474
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,680
All right. Thanks, Commissioner. Um
anything else? I don't want to cut

475
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:42,160
anybody off.
Okay. Um All right. So then uh do I have

476
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:44,960
a motion to table uh ordinance 2026-06?
>> Make a motion to table.

477
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,480
» Second.
>> Okay. All in favor?

478
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,240
» I
>> I Okay. And do I have a motion to reopen

479
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:58,079
ordinance 2026-05?
>> Make a motion to reopen ordinance 265

480
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,680
adopted by minutes.
>> Second.

481
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,119
» All right. All in favor?
>> I I

482
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:06,320
» I Okay. Are there any um Well, we didn't
have a discussion on this. We tabled it,

483
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:10,400
but are there any discussion points on
the the millage the proposed millage

484
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:14,720
rate before we um call for a role?
>> Yeah, I just have a comment. Uh this is

485
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:19,839
for you Paul. So when I was reading this
or for John, I don't know who takes

486
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:24,480
this. Uh it says whereas the village
commissioner of the village risk and

487
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:27,920
park received the certificate of taxable
value on real and personal profit from

488
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:35,200
the Miami day county property appraiser
who certified the gross taxable value

489
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:41,520
for operating purposes to be 4.7. Isn't
that um the the the gross taxable value?

490
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:46,880
Shouldn't that be the whole amount of
like the 513 million

491
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:54,079
and then what you actually are showing
is the gross revenue that you're living

492
00:37:49,839 --> 00:37:57,920
at at 9.2.
>> Okay. Uh I'm trying to figure out what

493
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,160
you're describing here.
>> Looking at the ordinance.

494
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,440
» I don't have the ordinance in front of
me, but go ahead.

495
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:05,520
» Okay.
>> I have I'm going to read it to you

496
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:12,160
» detail in front of me. The wording says
um John you have it with you. It says um

497
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:16,160
whereas on the first paragraph, the
village commission of the village of

498
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:20,720
Biskin Park received the certificate of
taxable value on real and pro and

499
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:26,800
personal property from the Miami Day
County property appraiser who certified

500
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:33,760
the gross taxable value for operating
purposes to be 4.734

501
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:38,079
629 which is the the budget that we have
ultimately. But shouldn't there be

502
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:47,200
because I think that this is actually
the gross advalorum there will levy at

503
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:51,520
9.2. It's not the taxable value.
I don't know what I read and I remember

504
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:55,280
we passed in July that the talkable the
the total taxable value was around 514

505
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,240
million.
>> It is 514. Correct.

506
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,640
» Right. So it it shouldn't shouldn't this
be the 514?

507
00:39:01,359 --> 00:39:07,040
» I can't see the ordinance so I'm not
going to be able to answer you. I just I

508
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:13,680
let John clarif the numbers get flipped
out of the right slot.

509
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:16,800
» I drafted the ordinance I left it blank
for staff to insert the appropriate

510
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:22,079
numbers.
>> Okay.

511
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:28,079
» So you to your point commissioner um the
gross tax taxual value um certified by

512
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:31,760
the property appraisers the number that
we will put in there. That number is

513
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:38,480
currently incorrect.
>> I will get with um um staff uh certainly

514
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:41,440
before um first and second reading to
put in the correct number if this is not

515
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:45,200
the correct number.
>> Just check on that poll that the number

516
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:52,800
at the end of a day is the taxable
amount and not the leave at 2 point uh

517
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:59,359
9.2. That's my only comment.
So it it to your point it should match

518
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:05,599
up with whatever was the number that was
inserted into the resolution ex uh

519
00:40:03,119 --> 00:40:11,200
establishing the tenative millage rate
uh and we will double check that.

520
00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:12,480
» Okay. Thank you. That's it.
>> Mr. Mayor.

521
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,680
» Yes.
>> What I would um

522
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:24,320
» what I normally recommend uh I can't
speak for my

523
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:29,760
that uh the language in um section one
of the ordinance

524
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:35,119
just to read it verbatim into the record
because that is what you know those are

525
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:40,240
the magic words that uh need to be
stated on the record in order to comply

526
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:44,960
with statute is to roll back rate and
that you are establishing ing the roll

527
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:52,320
back rate u at the percentage rate that
is higher than uh your I'm sorry

528
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:59,119
proposed final millage rate uh is higher
than the uh pullback rate in order to be

529
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,839
able to fund the proposed final budget.
>> Okay. So you're asking what you're

530
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:06,880
asking me then to read section one
>> um or I can read it for you all.

531
00:41:06,319 --> 00:41:10,400
» Sure.
>> Okay.

532
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:15,920
» Go ahead. So, you know, if for purposes
of compliance with the um um statutory

533
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,000
requirements
um

534
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:25,680
proposed um or final proposed millage
rate um on first reading uh is as

535
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:30,240
follows. The fiscal year 2026 2027
operating millage rate for the village

536
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:35,520
of Biscane Park is set at 9.2 two mills
per each 1,000 of assessed value as

537
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:39,119
certified the Miami Miami Dade County
property appraiser as shown on the real

538
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:44,400
and personal property assessment roles
for the 2026 calendar calendar year and

539
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:48,319
which is 5.97%
greater than the rolled back rate of

540
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:54,079
8.68.20
20 mills. And the reason for the

541
00:41:51,119 --> 00:42:00,880
proposed increase is in order to fund
the um proposed uh final budget uh that

542
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:06,400
you previously discussed um and to
arrive at that um budget number.

543
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:09,839
» Okay. Thank you very much, John. Um all
right. So, if there is no further

544
00:42:07,839 --> 00:42:12,160
